Chapter 10 – The end?

.

"We will be late!" Misty exclaimed.

"For what?" Ash asked in daze. He was still under effects of kisses and they were super effective.

"Duh! Serena's performance." Misty rolled her eyes. "Come on." She said as she got up.

"Ok, ok." Ash replied. In the end, he had to run after Misty.

.

Couple arrived just as Serena's name got called. Serena entered stage together with her Eevee and Braixen, fox-like Pokémon. While the majority of its fur is yellow, it has black legs, white arms, face and neck, and a dark orange tail tip. Braixen started with fire attacks while Serena and Eevee started dancing.

"Way to go!" Ash shouted at one point.

Dance continued until Serena threw Eevee up and Eevee landed on Braixen's stick. In next second, everyone watched as Eevee lost its balance and fell.

"Eevee." Serena's voice carried through speakers and Eevee got up. They continued their dance and Braixen finished performance with fire blast that turned into beautiful sparkles.

With that, Serena bowed and left the stage.

.

By the time that voting started, Ash and Misty found Clement and Bonnie and casted their votes as well. As voting finished, lights turned on and Monsieur Pierre walked to stage.

"Performer to get most of your votes is:" Monsieur Pierre said. "Jessilee!"

Crowd erupted into applause. "This is her first princess key." Pierre added.

"I guess that Eevee's fall had effect on votes." Clemont commented with sad face.

"She'll win next time." Ash replied. "For sure."

Misty and Bonnie smiled and they left to wait for Serena.

.

"Eevee was great for her first performance." Serena said as group found seats at Pokemon centre restaurant. "She was just nervous."

"You were great!" Bonnie grinned.

"I agree." Clemont said. "Braixen was also amazing."

"You'll win next time." Ash said. "Now Eevee knows feeling of performing and next time she'll be great!"

"I agree." Misty added. "But I must ask. Girl that won tonight, does she reminds you of Jessie from Team Rocket?"

Everyone stared. "Now that you mentioned that, she does." Clemont replied.

"It wouldn't be surprising if it was her." Ash replied. "While I travelled through Hoenn and Sinnoh, she would enter contests under disguise."

"Then maybe that is Jessie." Serena replied. "Truth is, I always concentrated on my performance that I never paid much attention on her."

"Competing against Rocket, now that's scary." Misty shrugged while others laughed.

.

"So Misty, when is your flight?" Ash asked after they finished eating.

"It's at nine, but I need to catch a train that will take me to airport at seven." Misty replied.

"We are leaving little later than you, so I hope that you don't mind if we stay here to get more sleep." Clemont replied.

"Oh not at all." Misty said. "I know that you need a rest. Besides, train station is only five minute walk."

Serena checked clock. "It's already 11!" She exclaimed. "Oh, I'm hitting bed. Have a safe flight Misty."

"Thanks." Misty smiled. "We'll stay in touch. Same goes for you two." She looked at Bonnie and Clement.

"We are going to sleep as well." Clemont said. "See you!"

"Bye Misty." Bonnie waved, already half asleep and three of them left.

"I know what are you going to say." Misty turned to Ash.

"And what would that be?" Ash asked.

"You were going to say that you'll walk me to the train station." Misty grinned. "And you planned to add no matter what I say."

"That was lucky guess." Ash crossed his arms.

"But you really don't have to." Misty replied.

"But I want to." Ash countered.

"Fine!" Misty smirked.

"That's it?" Ash asked. "No bickering?"

"My strength is completely drained and I just want to hit a bed." Misty yawned.

"Can I stay as your guest?" Ash asked.

Misty smiled. "Sure."

.

At five minutes before seven, Ash and Misty arrived at train station.

"Here we are again, another goodbye." Misty sighted.

"But now you can't get rid of me." Ash said. "I'll call you every single day."

"Buy a charger first." Misty mocked.

"Don't worry, I will." Ash winked.

"And keep doing your best." Misty added. "And of course, do your beast at the league."

"This time I'll win it for sure." Ash replied.

Horn echoed from distance. "That would be my ride." Misty said.

Ash instantly threw his arms around her. "Don't go." He pleaded. "I just got you back and now I have to watch you leave."

"I know. I don't wanna go either, but I have to." Misty replied, placing her hand on his cheek.

Ash weakly smiled and leaned in. They held kiss until train stopped at the station.

Misty grinned. "You know what Gary used to say?" She asked.

"What?" Ash asked.

"Smell you later Ashy." She stuck out her tongue and dashed for the train.

"Misty!" Ash whined. "Now I'll have nightmares!"

Misty stopped when she entered and winked. "I love you too." With that, doors closed and train speed off. Ash waved until he couldn't see her anymore and whole time he smiled. As train disappeared from sight, Ash turned and walked away, knowing that he was at the start of something brand new and wonderful.
