Love at Second Sight (Ash x Whitney)

Love at Second Sight [Milkshipping]
Approved Rating: PG13

It was a clear, cool, and sunny mid-June morning in the woods south of Goldenrod. Ash, who was training for continental tourney, was traveling through Johto for the second time. He was wearing very light clothes, (not much if you ask) which included blue tank tops, black shorts, and bare feet, in which his soles had turned black for not wearing any shoes for the past several days.

At around 10, he slipped on a pair of ?massage slides? that he had been carrying throughout his journey. He headed towards the shore to wash his feet, which he had a hard time with as he had grown calluses on the bottoms of his feet, and then headed towards the peak of the hill where he and the group he had been with who had all split some time ago found reason to celebrate.

Ash headed down the hill towards the city limits. By the time he entered, it had heated to about 26?C, just before 11. His Pok?mon were all tired out from the several days of battling, so he needed to get to the Pok?mon Center as soon as he could.
When he entered the Pok?mon center, he saw a familiar face.

?Ash!? shouted Whitney as soon as she saw him.

?Haven?t seen you in years!?

?Hi Whitney!? Ash replied, as Whitney came over to hug him.

?So how?s things at the gym?? asked Ash.

?uuuhhhhh? I better talk about that later.? Whitney answered in a mood swing.

Ash had all his Pok?mon healed, and then exited the Pok?mon center with Whitney.

?What did you want to tell me?? Ash said to Whitney.

With reluctance, Whitney spoke up. ?uuhhhh? I?ve been booted out as leader.?

?Why?? asked a shocked Ash.

Whitney grabbed Ash?s arm and took him to a wooded area.

?You see, officials at the Johto League recently decided that they no longer needed me as Gym Leader for the Plain Badge. Nasty people.? Whitney said softly to Ash. ?It wasn?t just me that got kicked out. Gym leaders at Ecruteak and Blackthorn were also thrown out.? Whitney continued. ?It was part of the league officials? plan to get rid of their so-called opposition leaders.?

?Awww. I?m so sorry that had to happen,? cried Ash.

?Me too. It?s things we all have to go through? Whitney replied as she grabbed Ash?s hands, making him blush. Tears began to flow in her eyes, so she laid her head on Ash?s chest and began to weep.

?It?ll be alright, It?ll be alright? Ash lamented, trying to calm Whitney down.

After a few minutes, Whitney asked, ?What brings you here??

Ash replied, ?I?m? or I was? training for the continental tourney?

?I?m just startin? my own journey like regular trainers do? Whitney said back. ?now that I?ve been booted out of the gym,? she continued sadly.

Ash began to shy away towards the beach, and Whitney followed. ?Where are we going?? she asked.

?I wanna go to the beach and have some fun,? Ash said happily.

?Allright!? Whitney said with obvious cheer.

They both separated to change quite some distance away.

When they rejoined, Ash pulled a bottle of sunscreen from his backpack.

?Hey, rub some on my back would cha?? Whitney asked.

After Ash rubbed the sunscreen on as much of his body as he could, he began rubbing some on Whitney?s back. Whitney smiled as she felt Ash?s hands rub against her skin.

?Let?s go!? both shouted as they headed towards the shore.

Ash borrowed a surfboard, and Whitney laid in the sand to sunbathe. Next, they were playing Frisbee and beachball. They even buried each other in the sand.

Later, clouds rolled in, and they left to change back into their normal clothes, and went inside a nearby diner to stay dry and to have dinner. There, after the two filled their orders, Ash found a perfect opportunity to start a semi-intimate conversation with Whitney.

?You know, it seems funny knowing that you?re no longer gym leader,? Ash said to Whitney

?It seems odd knowing that you came back to this area,? Whitney said in response. ?By the way, what happened to your Pika??

?Team Rocket took it away? recently,? Ash cried softly.

?Aww, I?m sorry to hear that.? Whitney said, looking to cheer Ash up.

Ash then told the big story. ?When we were heading towards Azalea, Pikachu was grabbed by a net coming from their Meowth balloon, and they used water guns, bolts, even illegal tazers to stop me. I was zapped real good, but recovered rather quickly. Next thing I know, they cut off my path of travel by cutting all the wires of a nearby electric transmission line. The only way for me to get across was to go all the way to the next tower where the wires were safely overhead. Unfortunately, there was no way for me to catch up with them. I reported it to the nearest police post. Their severing of the transmission line was not only dangerous, but thousands were of course left without power, but now that?s been taken care of, even though Team Rocket has not been apprehended.?

Changing the subject, Ash noticed that Whitney had shining pink earrings. ?Those are the most beautiful earrings I?ve seen? he blushed.

?Thanks. I got them as my last birthday present? Whitney replied.

They were served after their conversation was finished. After the two finished their dinner, Whitney paid the bill for both, by the time they left, it had cleared up, and it was less than three hours from sunset.

They went out into the forest to train their Pok?mon. The two even had a battle using Whitney?s Nidorina, and Ash?s Golbat. Ash won, but Whitney didn?t cry this time.

Once the battle was over, they began to find a camping spot for the night.

Before they chose their place to camp out for the night, Ash wanted to admit something to Whitney.

?There?s something I need to say, but you might hate me for it,? Ash told Whitney with high reluctance and fear.

?What is it? I won?t get angry? Whitney encouraged sweetly.

?I?. I ? I ? l? I love you.? Ash stammered

?Aw, I?ve been waiting to hear that forever, sweetheart.? Whitney said with tears of joy. She moved her lips towards his and gave him a soft kiss on his lips.

Ash returned a bigger kiss to Whitney, making her blush. They gave each other a big hug, holding on for what seemed like forever.

They eventually moved over side by side, Whitney put her arm around Ash?s neck; in return, he put his hand on Whitney?s back and rubbed it, which resulted in her blushing.

?That feels so good...? Whitney muttered to herself in a whisper.

They faced the sunset, occasionally pecking one another on the cheeks.

Eventually, they set up camp for the night, right next to each other. Whitney sung Ash to sleep, and continued to until she fell asleep herself.


PART 2
It was barely sunrise when Ash woke up. Whitney was still fast asleep, and did not wake up when Ash nudged her lightly. ?Wake up sweetie? Ash whispered to Whitney. Ash then picked up the non-responding girl?s right hand and kissed it.

?uuuuuu? huh?? Whitney groaned as she woke up. ?Why you up so early sweetie??

?I had a weird dream? Ash answered. ?It was about you being reappointed as gym leader. Some of the previous staff at the gym petitioned to have you back as gym leader, and that you gave me the choice of either working at the gym with you or breaking up.?

Whitney remained still and blushed. ?Oh sweetie!? She pushed herself up and kissed Ash.

After the two were fully awake they headed back into Goldenrod to go into the Pok?mon Center, where they both had short stack pancakes.

Thereafter, they went to Whitney?s house, so that she could pack more of her clothes and food. It was really small, intended for only a couple to live in. It was provided by the League, even though they allowed her to keep it after job termination.

?This house is the only thing those league people let me keep from my tenure at the gym? Whitney commented with her eyes closed.

Just then, Ash noticed a phonograph turntable on top of a small bookshelf. Whitney approached it, went down into the bookshelf, pulled out an original Charlie Gracie single, placed it on the turntable to play ?Butterfly.? Whitney grabbed Ash?s hand and did a slow, gentle dance.

After the song ended, Whitney turned on the television and channel surfed to the LNN (which Whitney despised quite a lot),which was running a story saying that the Johto League Board of Directors would soon put in new gym leaders at the expense of some existing leaders. Whitney became disgusted with the story and turned the set off.

Quite sometime later, Ash and Whitney were on their way to The Star Nine, a cinema that was on the north side of the city. They agreed to see ?Love is Lonely? a (guess) ?chick flick? that had garnered rave reviews. The move was so romantically biased, it made them both cry.

When they left the theater, Ash asked ?Is it a coincidence that I suddenly love you so much, years after first meeting you to battle for the Plain Badge??
?Guess so.? Whitney answered.

By the time they headed towards Violet, through the northern path, they encountered a roadblock. It was a sleeping Snorlax.

?Uh oh?what do we do?? Whitney asked, puzzled, and with her arm linked to Ash?s.

?I?ll handle this, sweetheart.? Ash said as he pulled an awakening, but it failed to wake the Snorlax.

?Isn?t there another way?? Whitney whined.

?I have another plan, don?t worry? Ash said as he grabbed Whitney?s arm and went through the woods that ran alongside the road.

By the time they were out they were successfully on the other side of Snorlax.

?Wheh!? Ash sighed. ?That went well.?

?Remind us both to call for help rather than taking shortcuts like that again!? Whitney groaned.

?I?m sorry sweetheart? Ash lamented.

?You didn't have to apologize,? Whitney said, feeling relieved that they were now well on their way.

Ash instantly gave Whitney a big hug for the accomplishment. Both were blushing with hot, rosy, pink in their cheeks. They both laughed after they let go of themselves.

Soon, they encountered a wild, yet oversized Raticate. It was an opportunity for them to start training their Pok?mon.

Whitney was the first to respond. ?Miltank, go!? she shouted
Ash called out his Cyndaquil.
?Miltank, Rollout? Whitney shouted to Milty.
?Milllllllllllll!? Miltank whined as it headed straight for the Raticate.
Raticate was knocked into the sky, but wasn?t giving up as it landed.
?Cyndaquil, Flamethrower? Ash commanded.
Although the Raticate tried to evade it as far as possible, it eventually got the blast. The Raticate ran away.

?That?s one done? Whitney said and then chuckled.

Ash went over to Whitney and gave her another kiss. ?That was an excellent battle!? Ash said sweetly.

?Don?t stretch it.? Whitney said as she closed her eyes. ?You did what you could too.? Whitney said in encouragement.

They found a small pond to sit near and flirted.

?You know, by the minute, you just get sweeter on both the inside and outside? Ash commented.

?After you defeated my Milty at Milton?s farm you seemed to show feelings for me.? Whitney remarked back at him.

?After finishing Hoenn, I was selected to voluntarily compete in the Global Tourney.? Ash continued.

?I don?t even remember seeing you during the Johto League championships.?

?Brock went back to running the Pewter Gym after Hoenn?

?And what about Misty??

?I paid off her bike, and she disappeared for good. I haven?t heard from her since.?

?After the elections the league officials said that they would guarantee that I stay as gym leader for four more years.?

?You seemed to show feeling for me when you gave me the Plain Badge.? Ash put his hand on her legs, making Whitney blush. In return, Whitney wrapped her arm around Ash?s neck and whispered random romantic comments into his ear.

After remaining silent for a few minutes, Ash linked arms with Whitney and continued towards Violet City.

PART 3
After quite a while of walking and beating the increasingly harsh winds, Ash and Whitney finally made it into Violet City. They went into the Pok?mon center to get accommodations for the night. They both had their own rooms, several doors apart from each other.

?Guess this is where we split? Whitney said softly to Ash ?Good night?

?Good night to you too,? Ash replied, giving Whitney another big hug and she kissed him lightly on the neck.

By 8AM Ash awoke, and when he left his room, Whitney was not out there yet. He moped around the hall until Whitney popped out just a few minutes later.

?Good morning cutie pie? Ash said to Whitney.

?Hey Ash!? Whitney gave a big smile, knowing that it was morning.
Soon they had breakfast, then they headed out towards the east, where a new path was constructed that crossed into Kanto. They found a whole pack of angry Pidgeotto swarming down at them.

Ash immediately called out his Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower. Whitney brought in her Clefairy and had it use Metronome. Their outgoing attacks were enough to scare the flock away.

More was to come however. A swarm of Beedrill was headed right for them. Ash kept out his Cyndaquil all this time, so he as able to have it Flamethrow away the swarm.

Whitney was hiding behind a giant rock when the Beedrill came to attack. ?It?s okay, you can come out now.? Ash told Whitney after he got rid of the Beedrill.

When they reached the top of the hill, they noticed a tall dome-shaped building with a horseshoe magnet-like object on top of it. When they came closer to it, they noticed several armored trucks all white with a red ?R? on them.

?Team Rocket? gruntled Ash.

?How are we gonna get in there?? asked Whitney.

?Just keep a low profile.? Ash whispered.

They both snuck into a door colored the same as the building.
Unknowningly to them, there were hidden cameras in the ceilings throughout the building, as well as trip lasers. Whitney accidentally walked into a beam, triggering a siren and an announcement from the surveillance people.

?Attention: We have intruders inside the main garrison. Initiate Security LockDown.? Lights flashed, and the same siren wailed again.

?We?re trapped!? Ash whispered.

?Oh no!? Whitney cried.

?We better split up? Ash told Whitney.

?Okay? Whitney answered.

As they split up, Ash found a switch panel locked inside a glass case. He smashed it open with his foot, and pressed a heavy button. Next, he found a fire equipment case that had an axe in it, smashed it open also, and took the axe. With the axe, he threw it at the ceiling several times, and hit one of the cameras.

?Our cameras are going out!? shouted the troopers in the surveillance room.

Just then, Whitney found a trooper on patrol. She grabbed him, found some rope in a closet, tied him up, and put him in the closet. Then she went to the camera console and flipped the ?master? switch, which turned off all the surveillance cameras throughout the building. She noticed screws holding the switch down, found a drawer with screwdrivers, and used one of them to unscrew the switch off the panel, and cut the wiring off it so that nobody could turn the cameras back on. Then she found a telephone nearby and called the nearest police post to tell them to come and infiltrate the stronghold.

In a few minutes, Whitney went back to the door where she and Ash entered. She heard the door thump several times. The door had been knocked in and a Officer Jenny barged in with some troops. Whitney shouted to them ?Just take a look around.?
?Okay? Jenny replied. ?Let?s go troops? she commanded.

Meanwhile Ash had made his way to an electric generation room. He looked around, and finally, after more than a week, he found his Pikachu sitting in a cage that had wires hooked to his cheeks. There were other cages around him that had Electrode in them. Ash found a way to open the cage-he brought out his Totodile to try and bite the cage door open. It took quite a while, but the door eventually budged.

?Pika-pi!? Pikachu cired happily now that it was back with Ash.

?We gotta get outta here!? Ash said in a hurry.

On Whitney?s side, Officer Jenny?s colleagues had broke into the power transformer/turbine room which was next to the generating room with the Electrode. Two troops had pushed a log they found into the door, another was carrying a crowbar, and another with an axe. As soon as the door was broken in, troops rushed into the turbine room. The trooper with the crowbar jammed it into the turbine and the trooper with the axe used it to cut the power cables. The generator room gave power to the horseshoe magnet on top of the building which was intended to attract Pok?mon to it.

Once the power was cut off, several more troopers set explosive charges throughout the building. Every Team Rocket member found was apprehended, and taken outside to police cars and prison trucks. Officer Jenny found an office which contained keys to all of the TR vehicles, and took them all. Whitney and Jenny quickly ran out the nearest exit of the building. Whitney ran to the edge of the nearby forest to hide. Just several minutes later, the building began to collapse, and the main dome with the horseshoe magnet caved in while clouds of smoke poured from it. The Team Rocket stronghold had been destroyed.

After the building exploded, Ash realized that Whitney might have still been in there. ?Oh no! Whitney!? Ash whispered shocked. ?Whitney? Whitney? Ash called out several times. After minutes of no response, Ash began to cry.

?I?ve lost her. I?ve lost my sweetheart?? Ash sobbed.

Suddenly, Ash felt a hand on the back of his neck. Ash turned around and was surprised to see Whitney.

?Whitney! You?re alive!? Ash cheered. ?I thought I?d lose you forever!? he cried.

?Oh Ash. I would never leave you like that!? Whitney cried. She gave Ash a big hug, and then locked lips for what seemed like forever.

Whitney then noticed Pikachu. ?You got your Pikachu back?? Whitney asked Ash, as she put her hand on its head and rubbed it.

?It was quite the challenge.? Ash said.

After most of the dust settled, Ash and Whitney had their own celebration of their victory over Team Rocket. Then they set up camp for the night on the now former TR site. Whitney then sung a lulling tune to Ash, and as soon as he fell asleep, Whitney whispered ?Good night, I love you.?
