Brock and Cilan exchanged a look.

“She doesn’t!” Ash insisted. “She’s never even kissed me.”

“You think she needs to kiss you if she likes you?” Cilan asked, looking concerned.

Ash’s frown deepened. “Serena did. I mean, she like, left and didn’t talk to me for a long time right after, but she did. That’s how I know she liked me. Melody too. And maybe Bianca, though that was probably Latias. It was unclear.”

“Plenty of other girls have liked you without kissing you,” Brock stated simply, then began counting them off on his fingers. “Macy, from the Johto League, for example. She asked you on a date and everything. Misty did not like that, by the way.”

Aah scoffed. “No, she just didn’t like her because she was a fire-type trainer and she insulted water types.”

“Incorrect. Angie, from Sinnoh, that’s another one. Oh, and I’m pretty sure Anabel from the Battle Frontier. All liked you, never kissed you. And that’s just the girls.”

“Oh?” Cilan asked, raising his eyebrows in interest and surprise.

Brock smirked. “Remind me to tell you about Goh.”

“You hardly even hung out with Goh!” Ash cried.

“Yeah, but Dawn is a gossip,” Brock said with a smirk. Ash pouted.

Cilan hummed. “I didn’t realize you were that popular, Ash. I’m almost impressed.”

“Don’t be. None of those people like me. Especially not Misty.”

“Maybe Misty’s never kissed you because the last time she tried, you went running and screaming into a table,” Brock offered, deadpan, causing Cilan to cringe.

“Oh noo. Really?”

Brock nodded, sadly. “Christmas party. She got him under the mistletoe. It was brutal.”

“Ouch, Ash,” Cilan tsked. “Rude.”

Ash rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. “You don’t even like Misty!”

“I do too!” Cilan gasped.

“You do not! You spent the whole time you were hangin’ out with us making fun of her!”

“So did you,” Cilan sniffed, which shut Ash up immediately. “Besides, it was all in good fun. She was a good sport. She has an exquisite sense of humor.” He glared down at Ash and wagged his finger. “And don’t change the subject!”

Ash groaned and flopped backwards into the back of the chair, throwing up his arms in indignation. “Misty doesn’t like me!”

Brock sighed. “Ash, who knows Misty better than me?”

Ash raised an eyebrow at him challengingly. “I mean, probably her sisters and Tracy at this point, with how much he hangs around Daisy lately.”

“Wrong. I know her best. I’ve known you two for a long time and I know she likes you.”

“Why does it even matter?!” Ash finally cried, throwing his hands into the air. “Why are we even talking about this?!”

“Because you like her too,” Cilan stated simply.

Immediately, Ash’s face flushed. “No I don’t.”

Brock smirked. “You’re blushing.”

“No I’m not.”

Cilan sighed, clasping his hands behind his back and shrugging flippantly. “Well then, I guess it won’t matter to you to find out that Gary asked her out yesterday.”

That seemed to get Ash’s attention. “Gary? Gary who? Gary Oak?” He made a face. “Well, now I know you’re just making stuff up. Misty wouldn’t go out with Gary. I know Gary is cool now, but she’s always said she thinks he’s egotistical.”

“I guess you’re right, Ash,” Brock began, obviously not believing Ash was right in the slightest. “What would Misty see in someone rich and smart and handsome and mature enough to admit he actually likes her?”

Ash frowned, his eyebrows furrowing. “Did she say yes?” he asked quietly.
