Read on AAML fans.

~~~~~Ch. 6- "Rain, Rain, Romantic Rain"~~~~~

"You know, I wonder what Brock thought of us when we had ESP..." Ash wondered.
"Oh, I know! He must've thought we were losing it!" Misty laughed.
Suddenly, Misty felt a few cold fingers on her backside. She gasped.
"What's wrong?" Ash asked.
"You're fingers are just cold."
"What are you talking about?"
"You hands, they're... AHHH!!!" Misty suddenly jerked around and saw Gary standing behind her, laughing.
"Gary?!" Misty screamed.
"What do you want?!" Ash yelled.
But before Gary could answer, Misty grabbed his collar tightly and held him about two feet in the air.
"Keep your nasty little hands to yourself!" she yelled at him.
"Fine! Let go!" he shouted.
"Say please." she growled.
"Go!!! Please!"
She dropped him to the dirt pathway and picked up the picnic basket and pillow she had been carrying earlier.
"I just wanted to challenge Ash to a match." Gary said as he stood and brushed the dust off of his shirt.
"A match? I can't battle you now, Gary. I don't have any of my pokemon with me." Ash said, rather disappointed.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot. Too busy kissing your girlfriend." Gary teased.
Ash and Misty just stared at him a while, then suddenly broke out laughing.
"Yep!" Ash said.
"Huh? What?" Gary asked, completely confused.
"He said 'Yep'!" Misty stated.
"Wait. What?!" Gary shouted.
There was a long pause.
Ash turned towards Misty. "Wanna go home?" he asked
"Sure. Let's go." Misty smiled.
"Wait! What?! You two are a couple? Wait?! What!?" Gary shouted as he watched Ash and Misty hold hands and walk away.

The sun was rising now, just peaking above the smallish rolling hills in the far distance. Yet, just about the entire morning scene was ruined by the many darkened clouds that roured overhead. That's when Misty felt a tiny drop of water land on her hand.
"Uh oh..." Misty muttered.
"Uh oh what? What 'uh oh'?" Ash asked.
"Um, I think it's about to rain." Misty said, pointing towards the clouds, partially covering up the sun, which was still busy rising.
"Don't worry, we're close to my house." Ash ensured.
"Okay, but I'm gonna run." Misty said, as she felt a few more raindrops hit her forhead.
Feeling this, Ash had no other choice but to agree.

They ran for no longer than five minutes when they stood in front of Ash's front door. He reached for the doorknob when Misty suddenly protested.
"Wait! What if your mom saw us on TV?" she asked.
"Oh..." his hand dropped. He licked his lips and thought a moment.
"I don't know, but what's past is past. We have no other choice, I mean, we can't stand out here forever."
"Your right, Ash. Let's go." she said taking a deep breath.
He sighed and opened the door. As soon as the living room came in sight, it disappeared, with Ash's mother standing in the way. She had a pretty angered face. Ash slunk immediantly, knowing excactly what was going on...
"I'm so proud of you! My baby's all grown up!" she shouted, hugging Ash. His eyes widened in suprise. Misty's jaw dropped.
"What'd I do?..."
"Come on in. I'll fix you up some of your favorite pasta!" she ran off into the kitchen.
Ash looked over to Misty, who stared back just as confused. She shurgged her shoulders and shook her head with that face that said "I dunno." They entered the house.
"Hey Pikachu! Take care of Togepi while we were gone?" Ash asked the pikachu, who was, of course, on her way to the bathroom.
"Heh heh heh... Why not ask Togepi?" Pikachu grinned.
Misty ran up the stairs to greet her togepi.
"Hey Togepi!" she said, walking into Ash's room.
"Hi mommy!"
"Did Pikachu take good care of you?" she asked, sitting down next to Togepi.
"She sure did! Hey... where's daddy?" the egg pokemon asked, looking around.
Misty blushed a bit.
"Uh.... he's d-downstairs." she smiled.
Togepi's face suddenly changed.
"Hey, I called Ash 'daddy'. Aren't you supposed to blush and start denying all possible chances of that happening or something like you always do?" Togepi asked.
Misty's eyebrows raised in suprise. She heard a chuckle from behind her.
"Nope. Not now, Togepi." she said quietly, not turning around.
She knew far too well who that was, wrapping his arms around her.
"Hello." Ash greeted.
"Hi daddy!" Togepi said in her babiest, sweetest tone.
Misty turned her head to face Ash's face leaning on her shoulder.
"What do we do today?" Misty sighed.
"I need some sleep." Ash said, walking over to his bed. "I woke up WAY too early."
"Same here. I was hoping you'd say you needed sleep."
"Why?"
Togepi hummed a short tune in random and walked out of the room by choice.
Misty smiled and jumped on the bed beside Ash, bouncing a bit. She grabbed a second pillow and clutched it to her chest as the back of her head lay on Ash's stomach. She threw the pillow over her side and rolled over to lay on her stomach, then on another pillow. Once she ended up with her head laying by Ash's feet, she gave up.
"I can't find a good position. I can't sleep." she mumbled.
Ash laughed.
"Whew! I was hoping that was what you was doing!" he joked. She kicked him in the head.
"What exactly do you mean by that?!" she asked angrily.
Ash sighed and turned around so that his feet were on the pillow and his head was down by Misty's.
"That you're the most prettiest, nicest girl in the world." *Hey, I'm trying to use kid-like words here...* Ash said, smiling warmly.
"But that doesn't have anything about what you said!"
"It doesn't matter, does it?" Ash asked after a short pause.
Misty stared at him a moment.
"I hate you, you know that?" she smiled, shoving his shoulder.
"Well, that wasn't the kind of answer I was expecting."
"What kind of answer were you expecting?" Misty asked.
"How about "I love you, too"?" he said.
"What?"
"Aw, c'mon, you know you can say it." Ash laughed.
"Huh? Say what?"
Ash mouthed the word 'I' and then 'love' while Misty repeated.
"I... love... you... Ash..." she finished.
"See? Was that so hard?" Ash asked.
"Well, I guess I never said it out loud before..." Misty chuckled.
"Nope, you just thought about it."
"And look where just thinking such things brought us." she smiled.
Their lips touched for the fourth time that day.
"Kids! Lunch!" Delia called from the bottom of the staircase.
They seperated and Ash stood from the bed.
"Come on Miss Romance." he said, extending a hand to help her up.


Ash stared at his Pikachu, eating as many bread rolls and pasta she could get to.
"Boy Pikachu, you sure are hungry." Ash said.
"I know! I can't help it!" she snarled.
"Excuse me!" he said.
"Sorry, it's just, I know this is gonna ruin myself, but I'm just so hungry!" Pikachu said.
"Well, it's no wonder. I mean, you've been losing all your food for the past few days." said Ash.
"That's because she's pregnant." Misty said, feeding Togepi a noodle.
"Oh yeah! Hehe... I forgot..." Ash said a little embarassed that he'd forgotten his Pikachu was going to have babies.
"You idiot." Misty joked.
Suddenly Pikachu jumped from the table and ran off.
"Hey! Where you goin'?" Ash called out.
"Bathroom!"
Ash shook his head.
"Misty? When do you think Pikachu will have her babies?"
"I'm not sure... I guess probably sooner than humans do, though."
There was silence.
"Where is Brock? I haven't seen him since at the lake." Misty asked.
"I don't know." Ash yawned. "But I sure am tired though."
"C'mon, let's go." Misty said and got up from the table, walking towards the stairs.
Ash followed her into his room. He turned off the light and jumped into bed.
Misty was about to lay down when she stopped.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just, I forgot I was wearing your shirt." she laughed, looking down at one of Ash's t-shirts.
"You'd better change." he said.
"Yeah..." Misty ran to her shirt.
"Hey! Where's my shirt?!"
"Huh?"
"My shirt's gone! Togepi!" Misty yelled.
The little egg pokemon walked through the door.
"What's wrong mommy?"
"Where's my shirt?"
"Uh... I dunno..."
Misty sighed.
"Maybe Ms. Ketchum put it in the wash..." Misty muttered.
"It's okay. Just wear that one. I don't mind."
Misty smiled. "Okay."
She walked over to Ash. Heheheh, Togepi left, of course....
The egg chuckled evilly.
"I just love this..." she said, carrying Misty's shirt downstairs.
"Where you going with Misty's shirt?" asked Pikachu as she ran up the stairs.
"Uh..."
"You didn't steal it did you?"
"Uh... no..." Togepi lied.
Pikachu glared at her.
"Darn, I know the perfect place to hide it, too..." Pikachu grinned.
"He he he... then we could try the shorts..." Togepi chuckled.
*I know what you're thinking, "Togepi and Pikachu are just EVIL!" Well, no, not really... You'll understand...(Actually, I'm the only 'EVIL' one around here...he he he)*

Togepi walked into the room a forty-five minutes later and saw Ash and Misty sleeping.
"Wow, they sure do fall asleep quickly..." Togepi murmured to herself.
Then, Togepi left the room, satisfied with her little 'mission'. She walked into the livingroom to where Pikachu sat on the couch, holding her stomach.
"Oh, I wish they would just come out! This is worse than the stomach flu." Pikachu whined.
"Are you okay?"
"Huh?"
"Are you okay?" Togepi asked again.
"Yeah."
After a long pause, Pikachu's ears perked.
"You know what? I have a strange craving for mustard.." Pikachu muttered thoughtfully.
"You? Mustard?? You gotta be kidding me." Togepi said, shaking her head.
"No, I serious! I need mustard!" Pikachu yelled and ran into the kitchen.
Togepi could hear the clanging and banging of a few objects falling to the floor out of the refridgerator.
"Aha! Gotcha!" Pikachu yelled.
She walked out of the kitchen licking a bottle of mustard happily.
"You're crazy..." Togepi laughed.
"Ahh..." Pikachu sighed gleefully.
Togepi chuckled.
"And I am not crazy. I'm pregnant." Pikachu said sternly, nodding her head.
"Eh... I still vote for 'Crazy'." said Togepi.


>>>>>Three hours later<<<<<

Misty woke up to the slight sound of snoring on her shoulder and a familiar arm wrapped tightly around her waist. She held green gloved hand and absentmindedly would stare at the pokemon league cap strewn across the floor over near the end of the bed. Then, she would look a the scene in front of her, playing across the open window. Misty heard the low sound of rumbling, predictably thunder, in the far off distance and a few random lightning bolts would flash every now and then. A few raindrops trickled down the window screen, while others poured in blankets of water in front of her very eyes, producing one of nature's most relaxing sounds in history. The quiet snoring stopped, the gloved hand tightened. Ash yawned.
"Hey." she said.
"Hey."
"You sleep alright?"
".."
"Are you still wearing my shirt?"
"Huh? Of course. I didn't change in my sleep." Misty laughed. Ash chuckled also.
"Mommy!! Daddy!!!" Togepi screeched.
Misty gasped and sat up alert. She jumped out of bed and immediantly ran towards the cries.
"What's wrong?!" she asked, thoroughly worried for her pokemon's safety.
"Pikachu! She's..." Togepi started.
"She's what? What's wrong with Pikachu?!" Ash asked.
"She's having babies!" Togepi screamed.
Misty shot a worried look over at Ash who nodded, then ran off to where he heard Pikachu's yelling.
"Shh...It's okay... it's okay..." whispered Misty, holding the trembling togepi.
"Why is Pikachu yelling? What's wrong with her?! Why is she hurting?!"

"Pikachu!" screamed Ash as he approached the pikachu laying down on the floor of the den.
"No, we can't have you here... Uh... Misty!!" Ash yelled.
Misty walked into the room carrying Togepi.
"What?"
"Can you get me some newspapers? God! Where is Brock when you need him?!" Ash yelled, picking up Pikachu.
Only two minutes passed when Misty walked into the kitchen holding plenty of newspapers.
"This enough?"
"Yeah, yeah. Thanks. Where's Togepi?" Ash asked.
"I put her in the livingroom. She really doesn't need to see anything like this." Misty said.
"Help me." Ash stated as he set the newspapers on the hard wood floor and placed Pikachu on top.
"We'll need towels."
"All right. I'll get them." Ash ran off.
Misty patted Pikachu's back.
"How you feeling?" she asked calmly.
"... it... just... hurts..." Pikachu said through clenched teeth, closing her eyes tightly.
"Don't worry. You'll pull through this." Misty assured.
"I hope." Pikachu whispered.
"All right here's some." Ash threw her the towels.
"I need to call Professor Oak." Ash said before running off.
"Wait! Oh..." Misty growled to herself.
Misty leaned over the pained pikachu who was currently in labor.

"Pikachu's having her babies?! Oh, that's wonderful!" Professor Oak fluttered over the phone.
"No! It's not! I don't know where my mom is and I don't know how to deliver babies!" Ash complained.
"I don't even know where Brock is!" Ash whined further.
"Uh..." said the startled Professor as a familiar boy jumped in front of the screen.
"I'm right here."
"Brock?! Where have you been all day?!?!" Ash yelled.
"I was here the entire time." Brock smiled. "Thought you and Misty needed a little time alone."
Ash growled.
"We really need you here RIGHT NOW!!" Ash yelled.
"Ash! I need your help!" Misty called from the kitchen.
"Uh oh..." Oak said.
Ash immediantly dropped the phone and ran into the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"
Misty was smiling, Pikachu was licked away at her new litter.
"Oh my god! They're deformed!!!" Ash screamed.
"No they're not! They're supposed to look like that!" Misty's smiled had long disappeared.
"But, look at them! They don't even look like pikachu!"
"That's because they're not, they're pichu!" Pikachu yelled.
"Pichu? What's a pichu?" Ash asked.
Misty giggled. "A baby pikachu."
Ash sighed. "Thank god..."
"I can't believe you.." Misty said, shaking her head and smiling.
"Why?" Ash smiled and sat down next to Misty.
"You... always so... silly." Misty laughed. Ash nodded.
"That's me!" He grinned.
"Hey Pikachu? Can I hold one?" Ash asked.
Pikachu nodded. Ash leaned over to pick one up.
"Be very careful." Misty warned, almost whispering.
"Okay." he whispered back.
The tiny pichu, who's silky damp fur grew in teeny cowlicks as they whirled around it's ears, squealed slightly, his eyes still shut. It wiggled a bit, then settled in the palm of Ash's hand.
"Oh, they're so cute." Misty sighed.
"Yeah."
"Lemme hold it." Misty said.
"Here." Ash gently handed the pichu over to Misty.
"Oh, your such a cutie!" Misty whispered as she petted the baby pichu.
"I gotta go tell the professor." Ash said excitedly.

"Wow! five pichu! That's wonderful, Ash!"
"Yeah! They're so cute, too!" Ash said to the Professor.
"Yes, yes, pichu can be very cute at birth..."
"What do you mean? What, do they suddenly get ugly or something?" Ash asked.
"Oh, no. It's just that... well, as time passes, the cuteness seems to... wear off a bit." Oak explained.
"Oh, yeah... Oh well! They're cute now, anyways!" Ash smiled.
"Ash!! Ash!!!" Misty screamed.
"What?!"
"You'd better come take a look at this..." Misty shouted.
Ash sighed and set down the phone, accidently hanging up Professor Oak. He froze in awe as he reached the kitchen.
Pichu! Everywhere! They pichu were everywhere!
"Pikachu... how many did you have?!?" Ash shouted.
"I don't know! I lost count around thirty-five!" Misty answered. The two had to yell to override all of the squealing and crying.
Pikachu was fast asleep. Ash ran his fingers through his hair stressfully.
"I can't believe this!" Ash said.
Misty shook her head.
"Me niether..."
"What?!"
"I said 'Me niether'!" Misty shouted.
Ash walked into the kitchen, grabbed Misty's arm, and pulled her into the living room.
"We need to talk."
"All right. What about?" Misty asked as he sat her down.
As soon as Ash sat down, the doorbell rang. He was about to get up to get it, when something in the kitchen fell with a breaking crash, then the phone rang. Ash calmly sat down.
"No. No interuptions." Ash muttered.
"I don't know what to do with all of these pichu. I swear that there's gotta be at least fifty in that kitchen. I know that if we're caught with the past history of ESP, we'll probably end up in a mental hospital or a ward. I don't see any way how to tell everyone about us, all I know is that we're in this together. Right?" Ash asked Misty.
Misty nodded and smiled. "Right."
They clasped hands and fell into a hug. Misty closed her eyes, ignoring the many disturbing sounds and victoriously focused on the one thing that really mattered at the time- her and Ash. Ash felt Misty's strong arms pull him into a hug. He always liked hugs- simple and beautiful... much like Misty... Suddenly, a clash of thunder brought the two apart as every light in the house, and all electricity, had burnt out. All of the noise in the kitchen stopped. The phone rings paused. The knocking and doorbell came to a halt. Silence seemed to swirl around their every move and echo every spoken word.
"You get the kitchen and I'll get the door." Ash said. Misty nodded in agreement.
Ash stood and walked to the door, trying to avoid any objects that were swallowed up by the sudden darkness. He looked through the checkhole and gasped.

Misty walked into the kitchen, expecting all to go wrong, but suprisingly found nothing... No shattered glass, no huge dents, no unexplainable spills... everything in perfect order! She let out all of the air she held in her lungs out of pure fear, yet betrayed her own mind and gasped as she heard those... voices... at the doorway...

"Like, Ohmygod!!! You and Misty! No way!"
"I can't believe it! I was like watching TV with Daisy when you guys suddenly kissed!"
"I was so freaking! Little Misty got a boyfriend before me!? Like, No Way!"
Misty's skin jumped; she couldn't move at all.
"Good thing you came to the door, Ash. I thought we were gonna, like, drown..."
"Oh, come on Lilly! It was just a little sprinkle."
"Yeah, but a 'little sprinkle' totally messed up my hair."
Daisy rolled her eyes.
"Well, anyway, we thought it would be nice to come out here to say congratulations."
"Sure, thanks." Ash said.
"Where is the little runt..." Lilly looked around.
"I am NOT a runt!" yelled an angry voice from the kitchen.
"There she is..." Violet sighed.
"Yeah, but she's got a point, Lilly. She, like, got a boyfriend way earlier than you ever did."
"Oh... shut up Daisy..."
Misty emerged from the kitchen, smiling. An evil smile... She walked over to Ash, keeping her eyes on her sisters the entire time, before closing them and wrapped her arms around Ash's neck, her back to her sisters.
'What the heck is she doing?!' Ash thought.
She closed her eyes, and gave Ash a kiss.
"I don't believe this. This is, like, total jealousy for us..." Lilly scoffed.
"Heh heh... Or maybe only for you..." Violet giggled
Lilly shot her an evil glare. About ten minutes passed when there was a crash in the kitchen.
"What was that?" Daisy asked.
Misty parted from Ash and looked through the kitchen doorway.
"I don't know..." she said.
Then, there was some shuffling and a few more small crashes.
"Ash, I think..." Misty noticed a dazed, spaced out look on Ash's face. "Hey Ash!" Misty yelled, shaking his shoulders.
Suddenly, there was a large crackle and giant clash that thundered from the clouds in a mighty wave of sound, causing everyone to gasp and jump slightly.
"Huh! What?" Ash jerked out of the daze.
"I think... where do you keep your flashlights?" she asked.
"Uh... in my shirt.. No, in the bed.. bathroom...?" Ash spaced out again.
Misty dropped him to the floor and sighed.
"What have you two been doing?" Daisy raised an eyebrow and grinned.
Misty blushed. "Nothing!"
"Mmm-hmm, sure." Lilly said.
"I'm serious!" Misty yelled.
There was some whispering in the kitchen. Misty's sisters gasped.
"Misty... I think there might be someone in your house..." Violet whispered.
Misty gulped. "It's probably just the pichu...." Misty's voice quivered in unsurance.
"Pichu? Like, what pichu?" asked Daisy.
"Uh... Ash's pikachu had babies." Misty answered.
"Oh..." Violet nodded.
"Ugh... Misty? What was that for?!" Ash asked sitting up and rubbing the back of his head.
"Shh! There's someone in the kitchen!" Misty said.
"I thought you said it was the pichu." Lilly said.
"So Ash, you finally awake?" Daisy smiled.
"Shut up!" Misty screamed.
Everybody shut up and stared.
"What's everyone yelling about?" came a familiar voice from the kitchen, relieving Ash and Misty at once.
"Thank God! Brock, is that you?" Misty asked, still backed away from the dark kitchen.
"Well duh!" the voice answered.
Brock emerged from the shadows, rubbing his hip.
"What's wrong?" Ash asked.
"Nothing... I just bumped into a corner is all... where's all the lights? Why are Misty's sisters here? Where's Delia? Oh, and, I think you got a major rat problem in the kitchen, Ash. I must've seen hundreds of furry things running around.
"Running around? Aren't they supposed to be sleeping?" Ash asked.
"Not exactly Ash, you see, pichu are very energetic the day that they're born." Oak said while stepping in the open doorway behind Misty's sisters.
"Pichu?" Brock asked.
"Professor Oak? What are you doing here?" Misty asked Oak.
"You said you needed help." the Professor and Brock answered at the same time.
"I'm home everyone!" Delia announced as she squeezed through the crowded doorway with her arms full of groceries.
"I'll get a flashlight." Ash said nervously as he ran off, hoping she wouldn't start hugging him.
"I'll help him." Misty offered and followed Ash into a walk-in closet next to the bathroom.

"Misty, help me." Ash said as he tried to reach the top shelf.
"You're just too short." Misty giggled as she grabbed the lanturn off the shelf without haste.
Everyone saw a dim light coming from the far end of the room. That was a good sign...
"Sorry guys, I couldn't find a flashlight." Ash said as he approached them holding the lanturn.
"That's okay. As long as I can put away these groceries." Delia said, grabbing the light from Ash.
"Uh... No wait!" Ash yelled after his mom.
Too late....
"AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! RATS!!!!!!!!"
"Eh heh heh heheheh...." Misty chuckled as she held Ash's hand and smiled.
"What a day!" Ash laughed.
"Yes, a beautiful day..." Misty agreed as Ash kissed her on the cheek.
A beautiful day. Even though the grey skies poured heavy blankets of stinging rain, the heavens boomed with the sound of thunder, and piercing bolts of lightning struck the ground, it was, indeed, a beautiful day...


>>>>>Meanwhile, somewhere in the Bahamas<<<<<
"Wow! Take a look at these feathers, Megan!"
"Huh... What?" Megan seemed distracted by the large bird pokemon that had just flown overhead.
"Here, there's two." Brian said, handing her a blue glazed feather.
"Thank you... Brian." Megan said sweetly.
"Huh?"
"Uh... nothing." Megan blushed.
