Here you go, the final chapter to According to You, and by now, I figure that it's probably long awaited. Am I right about that?

Please review! I know that there are no chapters after this, although I might have a question and answer period with a few of the characters from the sequel series I was gonna write. Maybe, maybe not. After reading, you can review on that if you want, and ask questions too, even though you guys have only been hinted to about Jade thus far.

I don't own Pokemon -sigh- I wish I did though.


"Turns out that whatever it was that Misty wanted me to deliver when I figured out what the picture meant, was for you." Ash Ketchum said, handing a box to Dawn, who was speechless.

Dawn nodded and accepted the box from Ash, carefully opening the lid to it. It was a Pokeball. Dawn had a feeling that she knew what it was for, and she threw it in the air, letting the Pokemon who was inside it come out of it.

"Bun Bun!" Buneary cried, leaping up to deliver a crushing hug to Dawn.

"Buneary, I've missed you so much!" Dawn said, giving the Pokemon a equally as crushing hug.

"Pika, Pika-chu!" Pikachu cried, leaping from Ash's shoulder to Dawn's to give his long time friend a Pika-bear hug. Buneary, still having a crush on Pikachu, nearly fainted from the shock.

"Now, Ash, are you going to tell me what that picture meant? I was going to ask you yesterday, but you took off and I didn't get a chance to." Dawn asked, letting Pikachu and Buneary down on the ground so that Buneary could reunite with Dawn's other Pokemon.

"Oh, right." Ash said, sweatdropping as he remembered how he had bolted from camp right after story time the previous day. "The picture was of a sunrise, right? What is another name for sunrise?"

"Morning?"

"Try again."

"Dawn."

"And there was fog obstructing the view of the sunrise. Another name for fog?"

"Mist. Or Misty. And I can see where this is going, I think."

"Right, an-"

"And it doesn't matter how much fog there is each morning, Every morning the sun rises and the fog fades away. You can always, always count on that." A female voice cut off Ash's voice.

Ash and Dawn looked around, wide eyed, at the beautiful green eyed, red headed gym leader. She was standing with a big smile on her face, holding hands with a boy with unique shaggy green hair and dark eyes like Ash.

"Misty!" Ash and Dawn cried in unison, their mouths hanging open. Even all the Pokemon seemed shocked, except for Buneary, who leaped off the ground and gave Misty a crushing squeeze. It seemed that the two had become quite good friends while Buneary had been in Misty's care, but Buneary had always love Dawn as her trainer, despite her friendship with Misty, who had at the time been like a rival to Dawn.

"Tracey!" That was only Ash, since Dawn had never met Tracey Sketchit.

The redhead looked at Dawn, smiling. "It's like our relationships. I was the only thing that Ash could see for awhile, but after I realized that deep down, he had feelings for you, I realized that our relationship was like the sunrise in the picture. Dawn comes and Mist fades away from the focus. I knew that although Ash felt like he loved me then, had we run into you again, you would outshine me for sure. And I figured that my dating Ash was hurting Tracey as much as it was hurting you."

"Oh the drama of a teenager's life." Tracey commented.

"You know, once you two admit that you like each other more than friends, we can go on a double date. Or a triple... or quadruple... or quintuple... depending on how many of our friends you want to invite on it with us." Misty said with a wink.

"So I was the reason that you ran off and started... were you guys even dating? … Paul? Man, do I ever feel stupid!" Ash facepalmed.

"It's alright Ash, the Ash Ketchum who is as dense as a brick wall is the one that everyone knows and loves, so don't feel bad about it!" Dawn smiled, touching Ash's shoulder, almost as if to keep herself from falling over as everyone but Ash laughed hysterically.

"So, what do you guys say about the double date?" Tracey prompted, with a wink at Ash.

"Shall we?" Ash said, offering his arm to Dawn.

"Lets." She said, linking her arm with his, and smiling at Misty and Tracey. When Ash looked around at the Pokemon, Dawn mouthed 'thanks' to Tracey and Misty, who mouthed back, in unison 'no problem'.
