Ash and the Guardians of the Jungle

Day with the Girls

The next morning, Ash woke up feeling more tired than usual. To gain more energy, he stretched the arms and cracked his bones, Ash noticed the blanket over his own body that had probably been taken from the camp.

"Oh...what a strange night...and attractive...seems like it wasn't a dream..."

"Hope you slept well Ash..."

"Artemis..?"

"Before any questions are asked, I saw everything last night! Minako used the star essence to hypnotize you and then you instantly fell asleep."

"Alright Artemis. She didn't mean it, I even had harmonic hallucinations purifying my mind."

"Glad you're not confused."

"I'm leaving now, Usagi told me that today I have surprises and I need to be ready for each one."

"Good luck Ash!"

The jungle boy primarily went to cool off at the waterfall to start the day until he came across someone on a leaf drying her hair. Ash marvel at her beauty while she was drying her hair, and without hesitation he spoke soothingly.

"Nice hair."

Rei heard someone whispering about her and her hair, and was Ash.

"Hmm? A-Ash..?" Rei replied shyly as she dried her hair.

"Oh hello. Rei, is that you?"

"Hi Ash...I haven't seen you..."

"Rei, you look so amazing and gorgeous..."

Ash hugged her warmly even starting to blush. The fire black-haired guardian instead of getting angry because of her temper, she was surprised by that hug.

"What's doing...I don't think this is how we should start?"

Ash opened his eyes and released her, still blushing.

"Sorry, but I really wanted someone to warm my heart."

"That's a good purpose but what about your family?"

"Don't worry littlefire. I told my parents everything and they approved of our relationship.

Rei blushed too, and Ash took her hands, feeling the heat.

"How warm your skin is."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you blush."

Ash mumbled a lot but smiled at her.

"It's not your fault, that you're beautiful. And to be honest you may even be explosive but you're still cute

"You think I'm cute?"

"Yeah. Even moody girls manage to get cuteness.

"It's true Ash."

Ash laughed.

"You could like join me and Ami?"

"Ami is here?"

"She is, she just went to help some Gyarados and she'll be right back."

Then Ash saw Ami coming back with a Noibat on her shoulder.

"Ami is over there, and she's with a Noibat."

"Hello Ash! I was playing with this flying cutie."

"A Noibat. He is very cute indeed. Ami you are so precious and your short blue hair is so gorgeous.

"I also like your black hair and tanned skin."

"Thanks Ami.."

"It's having someone to talk to and understand differently from those boys and turists who refused us."
