We get back to the base at around midnight. Everyone is awake surprisingly. We approach the tent that Misty and Brock were in. We find them eating Cheetos and talking.

"Hey guys were back!" Ash yells. Misty drops her Cheetos and hugs him. I get a weird feeling in my stomach. She shouldn't hug him. Whatever. I push the feeling aside and put on a fake smile. Misty hugs me too.

"Did you get the pokemon back?" Brock asks, rising to his feet.

"We sure did!" I show him my pokeball, and point to Finn, who is rolling in the grass. He laughs and sits back down. I lean over to ash and whisper in his ear.

"Should we tell them?" He looks like he's thinking, then whispers in my ear.

"You tell Brock, I tell misty. There's some things I've got to clear up with her anyway." I nod.

What things does he have to "clear up" with her anyway?

I shrug it off, and ash leads misty away from me and Brock.

"Okay, Brock, I've got something to tell you. This may come as a surprise, but hey, I just thought you should know." He looks at me confused. Then nods.

"Well, tell me then." I look at my feet. Trying to avoid eye contact.

"Well, ash and I... kissed a few hours ago. So if you see us act different... well that's why. I don't know if we're dating or what's even going on, but I just thought you should know. I don't want to hide anything from you and misty." I look up. He's smiling.

"Well good for you kiddo!" He says as he's patting my shoulder. "Dont worry, Ash clearly likes you. And from what it looks like, you like him too." I nod. "Well then there's nothing to worry about." He flashes me a smile and I thank him. I decide to see how things with Ash and Misty are going.

I peek my head out of the tent. There just talking. Thank god. I try to listen. I can vaguely here them.

"Listen Misty, what we had is over. I don't like you in the way that you like me. I like Val. A lot. I've never liked anyone more than I like her. It's over. Period."

"But ash-"

"No buts, just leave it. We're done." She storms into one of the other tents. Ash walks back. I pretend that nothing happend. Ash enters the tent and sighs.

"Well that was interesting."

"What happened?" Brock gives him a glare. Oh great, Brock already knows.

"Oh nothing... I'll tell you later." He says in a "trying to cover something up" tone of voice. I just nod and eat a cheeto.

"Well, I think I'm going to go to bed. It's been a long day." I say, stretching my arms.

"Oh let me walk you to your tent." Ash offers. I accept, and we walk out of the tent together.

We get to the tent and the first thing I do I lay down. I am SO exhausted.

"Oh I see how it is." Ash playfully says.

"Shut up, can't you see I'm tired." He sticks his tongue out at me and sits next to me. "Well ash, what are we?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like, are we... you know..."

"Ya, we're dating." I smile and close my eyes. I feel ash kiss my forehead. "G-night... Babe..." "G-night.. Babe." I try to say without laughing. It sounds so weird, but I love it at the same time. I listen to his feet walking along the grass as I fall into a deep sleep~

~next morning~

I wake up to smell Brock's famous rice cakes. THANK GOD! I need one of those right about now. I slowly get up, trying to get used to the feeling of walking. I walk out of my tent and make my way over to the table, where I take my seat next to Ash. The entire time I ate my rice cake, Misty was staring at me. Great. I decide to just ignore her. Ash and I talk about video games and how we miss home and stuff. After breakfast I make my way over to my tent to get ready. As I'm applying my Chapstick Misty walks in.

"Hey, Val?" Misty says, kind of awkwardly.

"Hey! What's up?"

"I need to talk to you." This time she seems angry. I nod and we walk to a really big tree.

"What do you need to talk about?" I already knew what was coming, but I didn't want to have her know that I was eavesdropping.

"Look, I heard that you and ash are now quote on quote "dating."' She sounds pissed.

"Yep! That's right."

"Well stay the fuck away from him. Me and him were dating before you came along. We were happy, and you ruined it. So stop being so cheerful and stuff, and think about what your doing to me! I love him! And he told me that he didn't like me anymore. Do you know what that did to me? I died inside. I don't want to be like this forever. He doesn't even like you. No one would. We were kissing after you went to sleep. He loved it. He doesn't like you, just face it. Your worthless to him. And your a horrible pokemon trainer."

"You know what Misty? Fuck you. It's not my problem that Ash doesn't like you. He likes me. Get over him. Because if he told you he doesn't like you. He. Doesn't. Like. You. And besides, I know I'm not worthless to him. Why else would he kiss me? And I'm a better pokemon trainer than you. I beat you at your own gym." With that I walk off. I storm into my tent and start sobbing. Suddenly Brock walks in.

"Hey Val? Could you- Oh my god?! What happened?!"

"Misty happened. Look Brock I appreciate you being concerned for me, but I much rather be alone. I'm sorry."

"Hey I get it, she yelled at you over ash didn't she?" I just nod. "Okay, well do you want to talk to him?" I shake my head. "Okay, I'll leave then." He exits the tent and about 5 minutes later Ash comes in.

"Hey Val, I heard what happened. I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't fucking cut it."

"I know. I should of told you. But I was worried that if I did you wouldn't like me anymore. I'm really truly sorry."

"Look ash, I'm not mad that you dated her. I'm mad because she told me you were kissing her last night. She told me that you didn't like me. That's why I'm mad."

Yea, I kissed her, but she made me. I didn't do it by choice and I pushed her away."

"Whatever ash I don't care anymore." He pulls me up.

"Look Val, don't mind Misty. She is pretty bipolar. She'll get over this. I promise. I really like you. So much that I can't explain it. Don't believe anything else. Your beautiful. Inside and out."

"Thanks." Without any warning, he kisses me really hard. It comes as a surprise at first, but I kiss back. I really do like him. I open my eyes after we break away to find misty standing there, mouth wide open. I nod and wink at her, causing her to grunt and walk away. I laugh. Yep, I totally won that fight.

Quick AN: so I hope this long chapter made up for everything ❤️ leave me ideas and feedback plsssssss💜
