Oil to the Fire

Chapter One: Goodbye, Hello

Gary was on another Pokemon journey. That's what Prof. Oak had said before Ash, Misty, and Brock left for the Orange Islands to obtain the GS ball from Prof. Ivy.

Ash wasn't sure why but thinking Gary's name sent a shallow throb through his chest. He hadn't seen the brown-haired boy since Gary's last battle at the Pokemon league. Ash furrowed his brow.

"You ok Ash?" Misty was looking at the younger boy curiously. They were walking from Prof. Ivy's place after saying goodbye to Brock, Ash had been strangely quiet the whole time they'd been walking. The former Pewter City gym leader had decided to stay behind to take care of Ivy and her three assistants, who reminded him of his own family.

"Oh yeah Misty, I'm fine. It's just gonna be weird without Brock." Ash hadn't been thinking about Brock when he had frowned, but it was definitely going to be weird without him so he hadn't exactly lied to Misty.

Misty simply nodded thoughtfully, the quiet tone had rubbed off on her apparently and they continued on in silence.

Considering the state of the blimp the trainers had arrived in, they instead opted for water travel. Catching the ferry that took them back to Vermillion City, they returned to the mainland with relative ease.

The pair were beginning to tire after a long day of traveling by foot when they spotted the outskirts of Viridian Forest. Ash cried out in excitement, "Hey, we're almost home! Misty it's Viridian Forest." Misty's lips curled into a small grin, she didn't seem very happy about something but Ash was too wrapped up in the excitement of seeing his Pigeot again to notice.

"I wonder how Pigeot is doing with the Pigeotto and Pidgy. I think it was a really good idea to let Pigeot be with other bird Pokemon for a while Ash." The red-head seemed very thoughtful, another thing Ash, the ever oblivious one, didn't pick up on.

Shortly afterward they arrived in Viridian Forest and Ash was calling for Pigeot. The boy was so excited he almost didn't hear Misty mumble his name before he felt her hand on his shoulder, "Yeah Misty I know I shouldn't be yelling, I'll probably wake-"

"No, Ash that's not what I'm worried about."

Ash blinked, surprised when he finally realized how stressed Misty looked. It was written across her face so plainly he didn't understand why he hadn't noticed earlier, "Misty, what's wrong?"

Misty explained to a surprisingly reasonable Ash that she was homesick and was heading back to Cerulean City come morning.

"Ash that doesn't mean we have to stop being friends, or that our journey together is over." Misty smiled, big and bright.

"And you still owe me a bike!"

Ash groaned comically but succumbed to laughter, the pair of trainers laughing together and just enjoying the others company as they set up their camp in the forest.

Morning came, Ash and Misty found Pigeot, and then too soon Misty bid them farewell. She hugged Pikachu, the electric mouse's ears drooped. He would miss his friend.

Soon enough, Ash and Pikachu were headed back to Pallet, arriving shortly after nightfall. The whole trip from Viridian Forest found Ash moping about the absence of his friends. He had been traveling with Brock and Misty for over a year and without their company was a very strange feeling indeed.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't hear the approach of someone else. Before he knew what was happening he felt a rough hand shove his shoulder and he stumbled, nearly falling to the ground, "What the?" He managed to mumble while trying to catch his balance again.

A familiar voice caused Ash's heart to give a sudden leap, "Why the long face Ashy-boy?"

"Gary?" Ash was shocked to see his rival, well maybe shocked was the wrong word. His heart thumped loudly in his chest until he remembered they were rivals.

"Hey what'd ya push me for!" He demanded angrily. Pikachu was angry with Gary too, "Pi-pika pi!"

The brown-haired boy smirked like Ash had seen him do countless times previous, "Relax Ashy-boy." He said while he sauntered past an angry Ash like nothing had happened.

Ash was over his anger in a second, catching up to Gary he asked, "Wait, Gary, what are you doing in Pallet? Professor Oak told me you were on a new Pokemon journey." Gary shook his head, "I was, until gramps called me up, all excited about some new discovery. A pokeball or something. He said at first he didn't want to bother me but then he decided he needed my help with the research."

Ash was confused, "What would he need your help with?"

Gary seemed amused by the smaller boy and told him, "Ash, you never learn do you. Gramps obviously doesn't need my help, he's just lonely."

Ash thought about this for a moment and couldn't imagine why Prof. Oak would be lonely with all those Pokemon at his lab. Dense as ever, but he didn't question Gary further.

They arrived in Pallet Town before long and were about to head their separate ways when Gary called over to Ash, "Ash, why don't we have a Pokemon battle tomorrow. You know as long as we're both in town."

Ash's heart leapt to his throat. He could see Gary had been acting strangely pleasant to him the whole walk, not that he was complaining, but he wasn't sure why. This was a whole new level of strange and it made Ash get butterflies in his stomach. "Um... Uh, sure Gary." He muttered.

"So eager to be pulverized eh Ashy-boy?" Gary snickered.

Typical. Ash thought, so typical Gary. Why was he bothering getting his hopes up. All Gary wanted to do was beat him in a Pokemon battle. Ash's heart sank in his chest, adding a whole new level of confusion to Ash's raging emotions.

But he wouldn't let him beat him, no way! "The only one getting pulverized is you Gary!" Ash snorted and stomped into his house.

Ash lay on his back. He was trying to sleep, trying in vain anyways. He couldn't get his mind off of Gary, and he was trying to understand why.

Maybe it was because they had been friends when they were kids and Ash had always secretly hated the new rivalry. Maybe.. But that didn't feel right. He was friends with Brock and Misty and he never got butterflies in his stomach when talking to them.

His thoughts drifted off to nothingness as he finally settled into a deep sleep.

•Dream•

"Ash..." Ash's eyes opened to find Gary looking at him, Ash was almost lost in the emerald depth of Gary's eyes.

They were both in Ash's bed. He sighed in contentment, "Gary, what are you doing here?" He wasn't worried that Gary was in his bed, hell he was happy about it. But he didn't remember Gary here before.. Hmm.

Gary didn't respond, instead he stroked Ash's unruly black hair from his place at his side. Gary was lying on his stomach. Ash went to turn on his side to face Gary but was stopped by Gary's hands pressing into his shoulders as he straddled the smaller boy. "Ash..." Gary whispered again as he grasped Ash's wrists and pinned his arms above his head.

Ash could feel his heart beat pumping so fast he was afraid his heart might burst. He gave a little gasp as Gary's face inched closer to his own. Gary's eyes were a smoldering green and he bit his lip, the sight of it causing Ash's growing erection to twitch in excitement. "Gary you're so-"

Ash's words were cut short as warm lips pressed into his own, soft and eager. Gary's tongue grazed Ash's lips, inquiring entrance into his mouth. Ash separated his lips slightly and moaned into Gary's mouth when his tongue explored the raven-haired boys mouth. Gary ground his hips into Ash's, their erections pressed together and Ash cried out in unexpected pleasure.

•End Dream•

Ash awoke in a cold sweat, breathing heavily, the evidence of his arousal pressing into the fabric of his pajama bottoms. He pressed his fingers to his lips. He had never been kissed before, but the dream was so vivid. He had never even been intimate with anyone, but all of a sudden he craved the real thing. It scared him. His throat was tight and all he wanted to do was release the pressure building up inside of him.

Shivering, he reached under the waistband of his pants and worked on himself. His breathing turned heavy again and he tightened his hold, finally finding his release he gasped out the only name on his mind, "Ohh.. Gary!"

So obviously I'm taking bits of the tv show plot and mixing it in with mine, I hope that didn't confuse ya. Also sorry it's so short!

(PS previous readers may have noticed a lack of chapters, and that's just because I combined the four chapters I had into just two, to make them longer.)

Please review!
