Pokeshipping Week 2024 - Day 1
- In-universe Pokéshippers / Meeting the parents/relatives + FANFIC below
I have this idea since the day I watched the last Kalos arc episode and saw âkasumisoâ flowers on the front view of screenshot when Ash comes home. Misty met him after Hoenn, why wouldnât she do it again? But what if this time Pikachu wonât jump into her arms when she awaits it? And what could it be that would prevent Pikachu from such expected behavior? Answers are on the picture. And if you want more, I have more! After avoiding writing fanfics using English for many years, Iâve overcame myself to share a bit more pokeshipping ideas with you today. I hope, youâll enjoy it. And if you find that something sound strange or tenses are wrong, please, tell me, Iâll fix it at least on DA. And Iâm sorry in advance, English isnât my native language and I didnât fully mastered it yet.
It took her only a moment to understand what would happen next - quick enough to allow her to react, move down her hands to avoid THAT embarrassing situation, and look⊠stupid! Actually, how else could it look?! She, with welcoming smile, had opened her arms and suddenly changed her mind?! Never! She isnât some silly girl with wind in her head, she is a gym leader after all and she doesnât take her promises back even if they are result of total misunderstanding! She grabbed all her will to stay calm. Even if Ash ignored her, it would be his fault! Not that she secretly wanted to hug him after missing him for so long, not at all!
âJust a welcome-back-to-Kanto hugsâŠâShe whispered turning her head to the left not to look into Ashâs face - it would be too hard to stay calm then!
Unexpectedly for herself she heard Ash stopped.
âRegionâs welcoming⊠Are you okay if IâŠâhis voice sounded tentatively, but the more time it took the more Misty was certain that she could not bear her embarassment any second longer!
âYes, yes! Go ahead!âShe interrupted him impatiently trying to sound as brave as possible. âI wonât stay here forever!â
Ash happily smiled and made step closer.
âIf itâs you I would allow even a kissâŠâ she added in her thoughts just to feel warm kiss on her check next moment.
âWhat?âShe was completely confused.
âWhat?â Ash was surprised by her reaction as well.
âWhatâŠâMisty only heard only the first word of Mrs. Ketchum speech before getting lost in avalanche of her own thought.
âDonât be silly, Mistyâ she told herself âIt is Ash Ketchum. Doing this he didnât mean anything serious. He never think deeply about his actions. It just another misunderstanding. Donât be naive.â But louder than her thoughts she heard her unwantedly excited heartbeat.
Meanwhile dragging her son by one ear - as Misty often did with Brock - Mrs. Ketchum disappeared in nearest room.
When Misty came to her senses, she spent few moments to remember to where they left and didnât find anything better than following them.
Ash sat at the sofa and looked like scolded Seel.
âIâm sorry, Mistyâ he said âI had to ensure youâve understood what Iâm going to doâŠâ It sounded more like Mrs. Ketchum words, but he apologized and it was enough. She thought so before he added one more phrase. âIt is Kalos traditionâŠâ
âOf course, something that usual.â only hearing her own voice Misty realized that she had felt more offended than before she entered the room. âBianca, Melody and someone in Kalos I suppose⊠Nothing special, really, for friendly mister Ketchumâ
âNo! Thatâs different!â Ash jumped up from his seat. His mother quietly but quickly left the room. âThe tradition is to wish a very good luck to the one you treasure when you say hello or goodbye. Melody, for example, treasured me as she thought I was a Chosen One. But I never did it from me to someone! Before todayâŠâ
Misty turned away. He didnât saw her expression and didnât know what to expect when she suddenly turned back and rushed to him. Justified cuff on the nape? He screwed up his eyes, but felt soft touch on his check instead. Moment later Misty already stood at some distance not looking at him.
âYou are an idiot, Ash KetchumâŠâ she whispered as if she was saying it to herself, but by her tone Ash understood that the incident was over and now everything went back to how it was before. Or not? Deep and bright happiness filled up whole his existence from the check to every cell of his body.
âI should not doubt my intuition,, just recently I thought this idea flared in my mind on the escalator was a failure, but now Iâm really happy that coincidences allowed to realize it!â
He didnât say it out loud, so the Misty was the one who broke becoming weird silence.
âWeâve cooked some crockets. You love them. Letâs go while they are still hot.â
âWe?â Ash was in a good mood again, and some silly jokes were what they really needed to defuse the tension.
âDonât even start!â
âDo you plan to kill me by poison?â
âI plan to kill you by my hands if you remind me about that episode from our journey one more time!â
âAnd your mom controlled every step, so donât worryâŠâ Misty added after small pause.
âOh, she can! Sometimes I think she has a power to control even every coincidence inside our house!â
And they hurried to a kitchen not realizing how true Ashâs last phrase was.
