" Can I open my eyes yet?" Misty asked excitedly.
" Almost, Mist. Almost."
Misty squeealed happily. " I can't wait!"
Ash chuckled. " I'm sure you can't. Okay..... now."
Ash removed his hands, and Misty opened her eyes and gasped.
There were two fishing rods, a picnic basket, and a bunch of Pokeballs. Misty gasped.
" What's all this?"
Ash shrugged. " I just wanted to enjoy this amazing day."
Misty smiled. " Thanks, Ash."
Then she sat down on the picnic mat and picked a rod. " So..... when are we gonna get this party started?"
Ash plopped down next to her. " Right now."
" I got a bite!" Misty exclaimed as she felt a strong tug on her pole.Ash, who was getting nothing, looked up excitedly. " Really?"
Misty nodded and leaned back, but was pulled forward. Ash jumped up and grabbed the pole and Misty's hands and helped her reel her find.
It was a Bibarel.
" What is that?" Ash asked as he took Dexter out.
" Bibarel. The water Pokemon. Like a beaver, Bibarel builds dams and eats bark."
" Amazing! Pokeball go!" Misty exclaimed.
The Bibarel was immediately absorbed, and the ball fell to the ground. One.... Two.....
Yes!
" I caught a Bibarel!" Misty cheered.
Ash grabbed his girlfriend's hands and started to twirl her. " You did it!"
" I did it! I did it!"
Then Ash's pole got a tug.
"Hey, I think I got something too!" Ash shouted, his eyes wide with excitement.
Misty grinned, already feeling the competitive spirit kick in. "Well, don't just sit there! Reel it in!"
Ash nodded, pulling back on the rod with determination. "Alright, come on!" He leaned back, focusing on the pull. "It feels heavy!"
The fishing line twitched, and Ash struggled to maintain his grip. Misty watched intently, her heart racing as she cheered him on. "You got this, Ash! Just keep reeling!"
With one final tug, Ash pulled up his catch, revealing a shiny Magikarp flopping around at the end of his line.
"Magikarp? Seriously?" Misty couldn't help but giggle. "That's not exactly a rare find, Ash!"
Ash chuckled, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "Hey, it's still a catch! And I can evolve it later."
"True! Just don't let it flounder around too much. You don't want it to escape!" Misty teased, gently picking up the Magikarp.
