The whole area around the pool and the giant backyard was jammed with people. Outside, the trees were decorated with different color lights and music was playing from the giant speakers both inside and outside.
In the middle of the crowd inside, was a tall, slender woman. She looked no more than eighteen, maybe nineteen. Her long, orange hair was let down to her waist and she looked beautiful in the long, shimmering, blue dress she was wearing. It made her ocean blue eyes look even more beautiful than they already were. She was smiling and laughing along with everyone else.
Then suddenly she spotted something, rather someone, out of the corner of her eye. As she turned to look who it was, she saw a tall man, with black hair and piercing black eyes. He wore a black t-shirt and jeans and looked no more than nineteen himself.
She gasped. She would recognize that face anywhere. Telling her guests she'd be right back she made her way through the crowd to the young man. He stood his back to her, obviously looking for someone. She tapped him on the shoulder lightly and as he turned around smiled.
"Hi Ash" she greeted.
He grinned.
"Hi Misty" his eyes then unwilling to stay on her face slipped down and his gaze ran over her slender figure.
"Wow....." he murmured then aware of her eyes on him added "You look beautiful."
"Thanks" she giggled.
After a moment of silence she asked.
"What are you doing here?"
He shifted his weight from his right foot to his left.
"I came to congratulate you of course,"
Misty smiled.
"I really couldn't believe it when I won my 'best water trainer in the world battle', but today when I won my 'pokemon master battle', that was really unbelievable" she told him "But hey, who am I to talk. I'm not the World's Greatest Pokemon Master"
Ash looked down at the floor his cheeks turning pink.
"Well....uh....you know"
"I was there, you know" she said suddenly looking away.
He looked up swiftly.
"What?"
"I said I was there, Ash" she said turning back to him "I came to the stadium that day."
"But why....why didn't you come and talk to me or something?"
She laughed bitterly.
"Yeah right. I'd have to be a reporter to get anywhere near you."
"Sorry...but you know how it is when you just became the Greatest Pokemon Master in the World" he said putting his hand behind his head in embarrassment"
Then when no one said anything, awkward silence settled between the two. Finally Misty turned back to Ash and gave him a hug.
"I've missed you" she murmured softly.
"I've missed you too" he whispered returning the hug.
"Hey! How did you get in here anyway with all the reporters in front of the gym?" she suddenly questioned pulling away from him, but still holding onto his hand.
"I flew my Fearow around the back, climbed a tree and got in through an upstairs window" he laughed.
Misty laughed too.
"The downside of being the World's Greatest Pokemon Master" she joked.
"Yeah" he laughed.
Suddenly they noticed a commotion at the front entrance and a woman who looked to be somewhere in her early twenties, maybe late teens, walked into the room. She had straight dark brown hair and green eyes. She was dressed in a short skirt and a low-cut blouse. She was really plain looking, a kind of girl that you wouldn't give a second look. She seemed to search for somebody and all of a sudden smiled and made her way to Ash who was still standing next to Misty. At the sight of her his expression darkened and he dropped Misty's hand. She looked at him quizzically but didn't say anything.
The brunette walked right up to Ash and gave him a big hug.
"There you are! I was so worried!" she squealed.
Ash stood like a statue and didn't even make a move to return the hug. She let go of his neck and wrapped her arm around his waist forcing him to hold her around the shoulders.
"Oh, hi. You're Misty Waterflower right? Congratulations!" she said as if just noticing Misty.
"Uh, yeah. Hi. Thanks" she was clearly confused, looking from Ash to the girl and back to Ash.
"I'm Rochell Ly. Great to meet you!" she said shaking Misty's had over-enthusiastically.
Misty forced a smile and gave Ash another questioning look, but he avoided her eyes.
"Oh, Ashy, why didn't you tell me you were going to Misty's party? I would've come with you, I've been just dying to meet her!" she went on.
'Ashy?' Misty mouthed with disgust.
"Ashy told me so much about you! I feel like I know you! Of course, now I do!" she went on turning to Misty.
She forced another smile, Rochell's over-cheery attitude was really getting to her. 'And anyway, who does she think she is holding onto Ash like that?!' she thought, jealousy overcoming her.
"I almost forgot!" she grinned and letting go of Ash walked up to the band and borrowed a microphone.
"Attention everyone!" she said "I'd like to invite everyone here to my engagement party!"
The room erupted with applause and a few people shouted 'congratulations'.
"Aw, that's sweet. Who do you think she's marrying?" Misty asked Ash, relief flooding her.
"Me" he said, his tone flat.
