If Only - A shipping story (Book 1)

Chapter 9: Pool Time!

Ash and Misty arrived on the pool deck and found a couple lounge chairs with an umbrella to relax on. Ash and Misty laid on the lounges and chilled for a bit. Then Serena, Clemont and Bonnie arrived on the pool deck. They found a couple of lounges with an umbrella near the pool so they could watch Bonnie. Serena put the bag down in the middle of the lounges and laid down on one. Clemont laid down on the other one but Bonnie quickly put her sunglasses and flip flops in the bag and went ahead and jumped straight into the pool.

Misty sat up and turned to Ash.

"Hey Ash, I'm going to hop in. You coming?" Misty said taking off her sunglasses and flip flops. She stood up and took off her summer dress revealing her bikini. She ran up to the pool and dove in gracefully. Serena looked over at Ash who was taking off his shirt, flip flops and sunglasses. He ran and cannon balled into the pool. Ash looked around and spotted Serena and Clemont.
"Hey. Serena. Clemont. Come on in! The water is nice!" Ash called.

"Ok!" Serena called back. She placed her sunglasses in the bag and took off her flip flops. Serena stood up and checked that Ash was watching, which he was. She took off her dress to reveal her stunning bikini. Clemont was watching intently as she walked up to him.

"You coming in Clemont?" Serena asked politely.

"Yep" Clemont answered. He took off his shirt, sunglasses and flip flops. Serena grabbed his arm and pulled him to the steps of the pool. She let go and carefully stepped in. She swam to the middle of the pool and gestured for Clemont to come in. Clemont jumped in and swam to Serena.

Somewhere on the pool deck...

"Hurry up and bring me my ice tea already!" a female voice exclaimed.

"Yes Jess" a male voice sighed.

"Now why don't cha' go and bring me a doughnut as well, aye?" another male voice said.

"Meowth can't you get yourself a doughnut?" the voice sighed.

"Jessie" Meowth whined.

"Shut up both of you!" Jessie snapped. James and Meowth sat up straight. Yes, it is Team Rocket.

"Can't you two just be grateful that the boss has given us a vacation? Especially before the Pokemon Master Class, where I, Jessaline, will become Kalos Queen!" Jessie exclaimed, nearly smacking James in the face. "Now where is my ice tea?" she said glaring at James with her arms crossed.

"Sorry" James said as he trudged off to get her ice tea.

"Now I can finally relax" Jessie said in a sigh of relief. She laid back and started reading her 'One Chic' magazine. Meowth sat with Wobbuffet and played poker.

Meanwhile, at the pool...

"Starmie, Seaking, Politoad, Seadra, Corsola and Azumarill! Come on out!" Misty yelled throwing the poke balls into the air.

"STARMIE!"

"SEAKING"

"POLITOAD"

"SEADRA"

"CORSOLA"

"AZUMARILL" The pokemon shouted as they splashed into the water.

"Wow, Misty! All of your pokemon have evolved!" Ash exclaimed.

"Well. Almost all of them" Misty sighed.

"Are these all your pokemon?" Serena asked swimming over.

"Most of them. Apart from Togetic and Gyarados. Cause Togetic doesn't like bodies of water and well Gyarados. He is just too big for the pool." Misty said confidently, smiling.

"That's a lot of pokemon to look after" Serena said.

"What happened to Psyduck?" Ash questioned. "Has it evolved yet?"

"Well..." Misty started before, *POP*

"PSYDUCK" Psyduck shouted as he landed head first onto the deck.

"Does that answer your question?" Misty said rolling her eyes. "What bout you Ash, Serena and Clemont? What are your pokemon?"

"We'll have to wait until we go to the pokemon battle field since we have a lot of pokemon in total" Clemont said now sitting on the edge of the pool drying Bonnie's hair.

"Oh cool! Why don't we head on up and when we're up there we can have a battle if you guys want?" Misty said getting out of the pool. Serena jumped up on the edge of the pool next to Clemont before heading over towards their bag. Ash sat on the edge of the pool and just stared at Serena's bikini's before, *BONK* Psyduck had smacked into Ash.

"Psyduck! What have I told you about being careful! Here, return!" Misty said as she returned all of her pokemon. Serena walked over to Clemont and threw a towel on his head and sat behind him. She started drying his hair, making it even more messy when she gave the towel to him to dry the rest of himself off. After everyone was out of the pool and dried off, they decided to head up to the battle field.

"Aren't you going to put on something over your stunning bikini?" Clemont gushed, again, to Serena as they were waiting for an elevator. Clemont blushed and covered his mouth with his hands, again, like he had no control over what he was saying. Clemont, what the! Control yourself!

"No. Why?" she replied. "Do you think it's too revealing?" Serena said as she did a spin, which only made Clemont blush even more.

"Uh, well, I dunno" Clemont said blushing and staring down at his feet. *DING* They piled into the elevator as it took them up to the battle field. Clemont just stared at his feet thinking. Serena is just really nice, she dried my hair. Wait what!? She actually took the time to dry my hair! What does this mean? Why are women so hard to understand?

Meanwhile, with Team Rocket...

"This is a life I can get used to" James said reclining back into his chair.

"I second dat!" Meowth said before cannon balling into the pool.

"WOBUFFET!" Wobbuffet said before following Meowth into the pool.

"Well the water looks nice enough for me" Jessie said as she snapped her magazine shut and standing up. She took off her blue dress to reveal her sky blue bikini. She yelled,

"Here I come!" she made the biggest cannon ball ever. James sighed before taking off his shirt and jumping in after them. All of Team Rocket was finally doing something besides attempting to steal pokemon.
