Ash Ketchum & Misty Waterflower: Private Eyes

Chapter 1: A Little Matchmaking...

"Why, no Misty, I'm not doing anything tonight. Why do you ask?" Ash was sleeptalking. He then received a sharp kick in the ribs. "OW!"

"Wake up you sicko!"

"OK, OK Misty, I'm up, I'm up." Ash woke up with his usual grogginess and laziness. "What time is it?" he asked.

"Um, about 7:20." Misty replied.

"Mist, could you make me some breakfast? I'm gonna take a shower."

"Sure Ash. What would you like?"

"Hmmm...I dunno...eggs and orange juice."

"Alright. It'll be ready in 15 minutes."

Ash continued on into the shower.

"Oh," Misty yelled, "By the way, you've got another case from the department."

"What?! Another one?! That's gotta be the 3rd one this month!" Ash yelled furiously through the shower. "Can't I get any rest around here?!"

"We'll talk about it in your office." Misty said, trying to calm him down.

Ash came out of the shower and dried himself. He wrapped himself with a towel and walked out. "Mist, where are my clothes? I thought I put them on my bed!"

"Oh, I put them in your dresser. 2nd drawer down." Ash rifled through the drawer and found his usual attire. He slipped on some khakis and a button-down white shirt.

"Ash, breakfast is ready!" Ash walked into the kitchen and sat down.

"Mmm...scrambled. Thanks Mist. By the way, have you seen my magnum?"

"Geez Ash! I wish you wouldn't carry that thing around! And why do you keep it loaded anyway?"

"Just in case I ever need to use it in a hurry." He replied out loud. Then he muttered something under his breath. "I'm surprised you haven't tried to kill me yet."

"WHAT was that, Ash?"

"Oh, nothing." He said smugly. "Well, have you seen it?" He was almost done with his eggs.

Misty gave a heavy sigh. "On top of the T.V." she said.

"That reminds me," Ash said, " I need to buy some more ammo. Let's see... type .357."

RIIlNNNGGGG! RIIlNNNGGGG!

"Ash, get the phone!"

"Alright, alright!"

RIIlNNNGGGG!

"Hello?"

"Pika!"

"Pikachu! Where ya been? How's it going?"

"Pi, Pikachu!"

"You got a promotion? That's great! Where are you working now?"

"Pika Pi."

"You're working at the pokemoncenter in Celadon? I'm so happy for you!"

Misty looked around the corner. "Who is it Ash?"

"It's Pikachu!" Ash yelled.

Misty was happily surprised. "Tell him I said hi!"

"Hey Pikachu, Misty says hi!"

"Pi...Pika..."

"Yeah, what about Misty?"

"Pi! Chu, Pikachu!"

"I'm telling you! I don't love her! I like her but I don't love her!"

"Pika Pika!"

"What is there to tell her? I can't just say-"

"Ash! Ask Pikachu if Togepi is there. I'd like to talk to her."

"Hey Pikachu, is Togepi there? Misty wants to talk to her."

"Cha!"

"Yeah. Misty, come here. Togepi's there."

"Ash, could you step into another room? I'd like to talk alone. I'll call you when I'm done."

"Okay." Ash left and went to his own room to think for a second.

"Hello Togepi! How are you?"

"Togebrrriii!"

"Great!"

On the vidphone, Misty saw Pikachu whisper something to Togepi.
"What? What is it Togepi?"

"Toge...Togibreee..."

"Yeah what about Ash?"

"Brrreeee! Togebreee!"

"What?! I don't-"

Togepi glared.

"Okay, I admit it. I do love Ash, but how can I tell him? I mean...ugh. We'll talk later, ok?" Misty was happy and nervous at the same time. "Ok, Ash I'm done!"

"Um...Misty...could I also have some privacy?"

"Sure Ash."

"Thanks."

Misty left to her own room to reflect on some things. Togepi whispered something to Pikachu.

"Pikachu? What's wrong?"

"Pi. Pikachu?"

"Pikachu. Please. Misty and me have some fond memories of each other, but how would I know if-"

"Pika pi!"

"What?! She loves me?! How do you know?!"

"Pikachu!"

"Togepi told you? But...I..."

"Pi? Cha?"

"Well...I...What I mean is..." Ash gave a heavy sigh. "Well, yes. Yes, I do love her. I was just afraid of rejection-"

"Pikachu! Piika pi!"

"I know, but I want the timing to be right when I tell her."

"Pikachu!"

"Yeah, thanks Pikachu. I'll talk to you later. See ya!"

"Pika!" CLICK. He hung up.

Ash needed some private time.

"Mist! I'm going out for a walk!"

"Alright. Bye!" Ash was out the door. The street was crowded. Ash looked at his watch. 9:37. He walked into the station. He checked in. After he was in his office, he called Misty. "Misty, come down to the station. We need to talk about the case."

"Sure, Ash. I'll be right over." She hung up with a slight smile.
