[Leaf POV]

“Get up leaf, we need to go home now.” Ash spoke, I was sleeping in the nurse's office in the school. “I wanna sleep more…” I groaned, “you can sleep at home, get up or I'll leave at school…” he said, I slowly got up. Ash picked me in his arms then thanked the nurse. We went out of the school and flew on Pidgeot, I was in Ash's arms the whole time. We reached home and Ash dumped me on my bed where I completed my sleep.

---1½ hour later---

I slowly opened my eyes, slowly adjusting the blurry vision. I got up and walked to the bathroom, then I walked down and saw Ash in the kitchen. “Oh, how'd you sleep sweetie?” He asked, I yawned, “great!” I squealed. “Okay, by the way I bought the movies you said, which one do you wanna see today?” He asked, I thought for a moment then told one. Today is Friday that means IT'S MOVIE NIGHT. We did some other works then ate the dinner before watching. After then He went to the TV and put the CD in, I sat at the sofa with a large box of popcorns. Ash sat beside me as we watched the movie.

I was enjoying the movie when I heard Ash's phone buzzing. I looked down and saw it was on the coffee table, I looked at Ash who was asleep, he always tend to sleep when we watch movies because he doesn't like any of my movies. I wonder what's so boring about them. I leaned forward and picked up the phone, I opened it and saw Dawn's message.

'hey Ash, we decided to go to the amusement park tomorrow, thought you and leaf would love to join.’

I was very excited, but then I remembered that we had already planned to go to the kids centre in Kanto with Bonnie and her friends. But I don't think Ash would enjoy his time with Bonnie's friends. Friends of his age would be better for him. But I should take Ash's decision.

I gave a nudge to Ash, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. “Huh? What happened Leaf, is the movie over?” He asked looking at the TV, where the movie was still going on. “No, I woke you to show this message from dawn. They are going to the amusement park tomorrow and want us to join but we are already going to the kids centre with Bonnie.” I said, “oh, so I guess I'll have to reject their offer.” He said, “I know, but I think you would enjoy more with them rather than with Bonnie's friends.” I said, he looked straight at me. “But then who will take care of you, Bonnie is great battler but she still young…” he said, I looked at him sadly. “I'll be alright if you give me Pikachu, Charizard and Dragonite. I know all of their moves.” I said cheerfully, he looked at me with a funny confused grin. “Eh, that's too much but if you say I can give them to you, BUT….., why do you want me to not go with you?” He asked in a suspicious tone, I looked around, “uhh, umm I thought you would enjoy your time more with girls with your age than girls younger than you. Plus if you'll be with us then we can't have our 'kids talk’.” I replied, he looked at me with a mischievous look. “I wonder where did you learn those ideas maybe from all your movies, but I think you're right. I'll lend you Charizard and Dragonite.” He said with a sigh. “YAY!!” I cheerfully screamed. “Okay now go to bed, you need have a good sleep if you want to enjoy tomorrow.” He said, I nodded then stormed off to my room and hopped on my bed.

[Ash POV]

After Leaf went to bed, I looked at the message. I sighed at it then replied.

‘that's great, however Leaf had already planned to go out with my friend's sister and her friends. So it would be only me.’

Soon there was a reply.

‘okay, that's not a problem, but it would be great if leaf to joined, anyway I'm happy you're coming. Reach Cyllage City amusement park at 10. see you tomorrow.’

I put my phone away, I hope everything goes well. I went to the backyard and found Charizard and Dragonite sleeping under a tree. I approached them and told about the plan. They both agreed to me, then I came back to my room.

---Next day---

It's Saturday and Leaf is getting ready for her trip to the kids centre, “okay guys, I'm counting on you to take care of Leaf. Charizard and Dragonite do me a favor don't come out of the pokeballs until it's really needed, or leaf calls, stay hidden as long as possible because it's not normal for a 4 year old to roam around with such ferocious Pokemons. Pikachu don't leave Leaf alone for even a second. If you think Bonnie and her friends are going somewhere they should not go, just stop Bonnie and Leaf no matter what. Okay?” I explained them, all three of them nodded in understandment. “Okay, Pikachu take this, if something happens call me and keep it hidden from Leaf. Now let's go and have fun.” I said giving Pikachu a small cell phone, they all nodded then we went to the living room.

“I'm ready!” Lead squealed as she came down running, “okay, I've told Bonnie about everything. Charizard will take you at my headquarters from there Bonnie will pick you up.” I said, “okay!” She yelled cheerfully. “And take this…”I gave her a card. “Stay at Gary's office until Bonnie comes. This pass will let you in. Understood?” I explained, “yeah!”. “Okay now off you go…” I said as we walked out of the house. Leaf hopped on Charizard, Pikachu sat in her lap and they flew up in the sky. “Bye Ash, have fun.” She yelled, “you too, take care!” I replied then went to my room to get changed, it was now 7:23. I need to reach there park at 8 so…

I walked up and got dressed then went to my garden to find Pidgeot. He was having a little talk with his friend, Talonflame. They mostly hang out together. “Hey Pidgeot, I was hoping you could give me ride to Cyllage City. My friends invited me to come along with them to the amusement park.” I requested, “PIDGOOO.(I'll be glad to..)” he replied, I was happy, “thanks, you're the best.” We then left for Cyllage City.

When arrived there I saw Serena and Dawn already waiting. “Hey Serena, Dawn, I'm here!” I yelled as I ran up to them. “Hey Ash, glad you made it.” Dawn said, “you all wait for Misty, Iris and May. I'll get the tickets.” I said as I walked to the tickets counter.

Soon the others arrived and we entered the park, it was big and amusing. First we roamed around to have a look at the stalls selling different things. Then we headed to rides, it was great. We had so much fun, we went to the ferris wheel, rollercoaster, and many more. I wonder what Leaf would be doing right now.

[Leaf POV]

We are having so much fun, we played so many games there, it was amazing. There are video games, rides, snacks stalls, gift shops and much more to do. After playing at the games and rides we ate some lunch and now we are having a friendly battle. “Okay the teams are me, Leaf and Maria Vs Kaylin, Bonnie and Lily" Sofia said, she's one of Bonnie's friends. “No I want to be with Maria and Kaylin ..” Lily groaned. “Okay how about, me, Bonnie and Leaf Vs you, Kaylin and Maria.” Sofia suggested to Lily, “not gonna happen, I want to be with Bonnie.” Kaylin said, oh God they are never gonna decide. “How's this, me Vs you five.” I said, they all looked at her with dot eyes. “Are you kidding, you won't stand a chance against us.” Maria said, “I think it would be fun, trust me leaf is a great battler.” Bonnie said, they all agreed to it. “Okay I'll use two Pokemons tag team, Pikachu will be there referee and you can use one Pokemons each.” I said, then like approached to me, “okay so which Pokemon do you want. I have many strong ones.” She offered, i still didn't show them Charizard and Dragonite. They'll be surprised. “Not needed, I have my Pokemons. My brother gave me.” I said, “you do? Which one?” Maria asked, “you'll see, let's get to our positions.” I said then walked to the trainer's box. They also went to the other side.

“Okay come out, Ivysaur/Prinplup/Floette/Beautifly.” Sofia, Maria, Lily and Kaylin called their Pokemons. “Come out Gardevoir.” Bonnie called, she knows about my secret. But no problem Charizard will handle it. “Gardevoir mega evolve.” She yelled, then Gardevoir mega evolved. Okay that's a little tough, but no problem. “What!?” Bonnie's friends yelled, “Bonnie? Are you seriously gonna use mega Gardevoir against Leaf?” Sofia asked, “have some pity, she's just 4 years old.” Lily said. Oh they're going to be surprised. “I'm just giving a battle of her level.” Bonnie said, her friends were completely confused. “Okay here come my Pokemons.” I yelled as I took Charizard and Dragonite's pokeball and tossed them in the air. They both emerged from it and landed in front of me. “Wait! Leaf has a Charizard and Dragonite with her. Why didn't you tell me before. I want to change my Pokemon.” Kaylin shouted, “no can do, you cannot substitute once selected.” Bonnie said with a smirk. I laughed at their reactions. Then Charizard looked at me with bored expression. “CHAGHH?( seriously? You want me to battle these kids?)” He said sarcastically, “oh come on, Charizard. There's a mega Gardevoir too.” I laughed out, he just sighed at me.

“PIKA PIKACHU (alright, everybody. Battle begin)” Pikachu yelled, we all got ready to attack, but Charizard and Dragonite wanted to test they're strength first. “Okay Ivysaur use ENERGY BALL.” Sofia said, Ivysaur fired a green coloured orb at Charizard, the attack hit Charizard but was no effect. Charizard just rubbed his hands on the spot where it hit. “What how is that possible?” Sofia exclaimed, “okay let's see if he can endure water attack. Prinplup use HYDRO PUMP!” Maria said, Prinplup released a jet of water at Charizard. “Charizard, THUNDER PUNCH.” I said calmly. Charizard charged his fist and slammed it into the jet of water that was approaching at him. Electricity ran through the water stream and hot Prinplup, causing it to yell in pain. On the other hand the water jet hit Charizard and evaporated into vapours due to Charizard's body heat. “Oh no! Prinplup are you okay?” Maria asked to Prinplup, who was trying to get up but then fell down with spiral eyes. “Oh, Prinplup. Return.” Maria said with a sad tone and returned Prinplup to is pokeball. “Dragonite now you take the ground” I said, Dragonite nodded and stepped in front, Charizard moved aside. “Hah, a dragon. Floette let's show it what we've got. Use MOON BLAST.” Kaylin shouted, Floette charged a large white orb and fired it at Dragonite. “Use IRON DEFENSE.” I said calmly. The moon blast hit Dragonite and caused an explosion. “Yes, direct hit!” Kaylin cheered up. But the smoke faded revealing a completely unharmed Dragonite. “What? but how?” She asked in shock. “Now Dragonite use DRAGON RUSH.” I said, “don't you know little girl, fairies are immune to dragon moves.” Kaylin said in a mocking tone, “Dragonite, now.” I said, in a split second Dragonite reached in front of Floette covered in overwhelming energy and tackled Floette throwing her at the wall behind and she fainted. “What how could this be?” She agreed in shock. “That's my Dragonite for you, now who's next? But I'm getting bored so, Charizard use FLAMETHROWER and end this. Dragonite you take down Gardevoir with THUNDER BOLT, FLAMETHROWER, FOCUS PUNCH and STEEL WING.” I said, both Charizard and Dragonite finished up the whole battle within two minutes. “What just happened?” They all shouted in shock. “I won the battle.” I said cheerfully, they all stared at Charizard and Dragonite with dot eyes. “PIKA PIKA CHU(the Victor of the battle is Leaf)” Pikachu said, showing his hand towards me. “ Whose Pokemon are they?” they asked to Bonnie and me. “My brother's boss.” Bonnie replied.

After the battle we went to get some more snacks and then we decided to go home, however Ash told me to stay at Bonnie's house.

[Ash POV]

I had a great day, everything was amazing. Right now we are eating some food at the snacks stall. “Wow, it tastes great.” I said, while taking a bite. “Yeah, it's amazing.” May squealed.

After eating we were just paying for the food and checking out. But Iris decided to play one last game before going home. So we went to the cafe and sat down on a table. She took out her phone and opened the 'truth n dare’ app. She chose the teens category play.

“Okay it's May’s chance, what do you chose?” She asked, May thought for a second then, “dare” Iris pressed the button and the task appeared.

Drink a glass of wine.

“What? I can't do that, I'm too young? My mom will kill me!” She yelled, “no problem, you can take a dilute solution.” I suggested, she agreed then ordered small glass of wine and mix with water than drank it. “Oh my God, my head feel dizzy.” She said holding her head. “No problem, it will wear off quick. Who's next?” I said, then looked at the phone. “Misty.” “I choose dare, bring it on.” She said.

Get a kiss from a guy on the group.

I didn't see the task but I saw Misty's face changing to bright red. “Ash do it.” Dawn said, I looked at her confused then looked at the phone and chuckled, “that's the reason for Misty's blush?” I laughed out. Then leaned forward and gave a quick Peck on her cheeks. She quickly hid her face in her palms. We all laughed at this then turned to the phone. “Next’s Serena.” “Umm..I think truth is better, seeing all this.”

Do you like someone? (Of opposite gender)

Then we turned our heads to her to get the answer. “Uhh...I think, I-I think I like…. Umm….” Then she mumbled something that we didn't hear, “what was that?” Dawn squealed. She mumbled again, “can't hear, be a little louder.” Iris said, “umm... A-ash.” She spoke, I was like, what really? “Really!? That's great, you two would be perfect plus he needs to protect you too.” Iris spoke and I thought, there goes my secret. First Serena was blushing because of her first sentence then was confused because she realized her second sentence. “Protect? But why?” She asked, then Iris started to panic. She looked at he and face her a glare. Serena and the others looked at me with suspicion. “Well it's nothing, I'll tell it later any time. When we are alone, like when I told Iris.” I said, “is it dangerous?” Serena asked, “a little.” She just gulped. Then moved on to the game. “now it's my turn.” Iris chose truth.

Have you ever felt that your decision was wrong at something?

We looked at her, she looked a little sad. “It's the day when Leaf was kidnapped. Ash told me and Serena to wait for him, but I said that we could take it and went there without him.”she said in a sad tone, I felt pity for her. “It's okay, but you should listen to what others say and understand.” I said trying to make get happy. She gave a small smile. “Thanks….. Now it's your turn.” she said, “okay, I'll take dare.”

Do a hand to hand combat with a Pokemon.

“Hmm, I don't think brought any fighting Pokemon today, May did you bring your Blaziken?” I asked, she nodded. We went out to the battle field, May called her Blaziken and asked her to use physical attacks on me. Blaziken ran towards me to use CLOSE COMBAT. He threw punches and kicks at me which I was dodging quite easily. The girls and some more people around were looking at me with amazment. Blaziken was doing his best to land a hit on me but nothing happened. Then May asked him to use POWER UP PUNCH. I could hear people sounding surprised at her. Blaziken came at me to use a strong punch. But I focused my 'energy’ in my hand and blocked his punch with my punch. Blaziken was shocked at this because I easily stopped his POWER UP PUNCH. Then I used my other hand and punched him in the gut, he bent forward at the strike that's when I used my knee to kick him in the face. Blaziken received a heavy blow from me and fell unconscious. The crowd went wild cheering me, then i thought I over did it. “Oh no, Blaziken!” May shouted at she came running to the fainted Blaziken in the field. “Sorry for the last kick, i just wanted to end this quick.” I apologized. “Wow ah, you're a great fighter.” She commented, I laughed, “thanks.” Then we went back to the cafe and most people were looking at me trying to figure something out. But we continued with our game. “Okay the last one, Dawn.” “I'll take dare too. It's not I'll have to battle a Pokemon too.” She laughed. We too chuckled at her humor.

Share a bed with a boy.

At this I thought, it's the worst moment of my life so far. Everyone was looking at me and Dawn, and Dawn was hesitantly trying to look away. “Hey don't look at me, I'm not your dummy that you'll use me for anything that needs a guy.” I looked away. They all laughed at my comment and Dawn was glowing like a sun. “we know but there's no one else here and Dawn can't escape the task of a dare.” Iris said mischievously. “NOO!” Dawn yelled. “Come on Dawn, you have to do it, no excuses.” Misty said, “but..” “no but, you're doing this and that's final.” May said. “Hey, she's not the only one who disagrees. I'm here too.” I said, “then you better be ready, because Dawn is going with you no matter what.” May said, “oh God, how did I get stuck up with you all?” I mumbled.

We are heading home and after much anticipation I gave up and now I have to share my bed with Dawn. “Have fun you two.” They waved then went to their homes. I looked at Dawn who was still a red tomato. I sighed then called out Pidgeot. “Let's go, I'm tired.” I said then hopped on Pidgeot's back, I helped Dawn to climb up then flew off. After reaching home I got washed up then went to the kitchen. “Hey, when will Leaf come home?” Dawn asked as she walked into the kitchen. “Tomorrow morning, she's staying at Bonnie's house tonight.” I replied, “can I help you with the dinner?” She asked, i accepted happily. We both prepared the dinner then ate it after that we went to my room and I'm saying this once, I'm not going to play truth and dare ever again.

“Do you need something to change in?” I asked, she nodded slowly. I picked my old t-shirt and trousers and gave it to her she went to the bathroom and got changed. I was on my bed already changed up.

[Dawn POV]

When I came out of the bathroom, I saw ash was already asleep on the bed. He looked really cute while sleeping. I looked around in his room, it was big and good. I looked outside the window in the backyard and saw various Pokemons sleeping peacefully. I slowly walked to the other end of the bed and laid down.

It was only few minutes when I was woken up by a loud clap. I shot my eyes open and looked around, I saw from the window it was a THUNDERSTORM! Oh no, I don't like thunderstorms. I quickly hid under the sheets but would jump up a little on every clap. “Hey, you okay?” I heard Ash, I slowly turned around and saw him looking at me concerned. I shook my head, “n-no, I'm afraid of th-thunderstorms….*CLAP* AAAAHH…” I stuttered then screamed in fright. “Calm down it's okay, it will not hurt you.” He said softly, “I know but I can't help it.” I said while shivering. Then I felt a hand pulling me, it was Ash. He pulled me closer, “come here, you'll feel good.” He said as he hugged me, for some reason I really felt happy and less scared. The thunder would make my flinch but I was okay now. Soon I was fast asleep.

Next morning when I woke up I found myself in something strong and muscular. I opened my eyes and saw I was hugging into Ash and my head was on his chest. I quickly backed off, he noticed me, “slept well?” He asked, I nodded. “How long you are awake?” I asked, “long enough to miss two hours of morning training. But since you were really scared last night so I decided to let you sleep for more.” He said as he got up and stretched out. “Let's get fresh then get some breakfast.” He said as he went into the bathroom, then I remembered that I was wearing his clothes, I started to blush at the events that happened. I was lost in my dreams that I didn't notice Ash come out.

“go wash up and come down, I'm preparing breakfast.” I broke my trance and looked at Ash leaving the room, I started at door for a long time. I was just lost in my dreams, Ash is so caring and kind, he always gives comfort and happiness. He's really cute and also strong. And I really think I have fallen for him, oh no what do I do? I just don't have the courage, I just need to say 4 words.

Ash, I love you.
