He still nearly jumped when a familiar voice said, "Hi, Ash. What are you doing?"
"Misty!" he yelped, and slapped his Pokedex closed as he turned to face her... which led him to letting his mouth drop open.
"Is there something wrong?"
Ash simply shook his head as he stared at the lovely young woman who was standing next to him. What he saw did not look like the same tomboy who he'd travelled with. Instead, her satiny red hair hung loosely in a simple, yet feminine look, and there was just enough make up on her face to enhance her attractive features. Her clothing was different too, as it was much different than her usual outfit. A simple top with a deep v-neck clung to her just enough to highlight the bust that he'd never known she'd had, and her tiny waist, and her simple a-line skirt showed off her toned legs to good advantage. Just seeing her wearing low heels instead of sneakers would have surprised him, but now it just completed what was definitely a rather attractive outfit.
He was just trying not to choke on his own reaction as he was feeling a mixture of shock, appreciation, and something that he couldn't exactly name, but knew it was something to do with wanting her.
"Are you sure that you're okay?" Misty asked him.
"Oh, I'm okay. You just surprised me..."
"I did?"
"Yeah... It's not bad or anything. So, you shouldn't worry about that. I'm good. Great, even."
A small smile curved her lips, but she seemed to control it. "You seem nervous though."
"Nope. Don't have anything to worry about. Not me."
"But a trainer should always worry about her Pokemon."
"Oh. Yeah. I know. I meant that I don't have to worry about you... I mean nothing. Nothing out of the ordinary."
"You do sound a little off though," she told him, and leaned forward so that she could put the palm of one hand on his forehead. "Hmm... You don't seem to have a fever..."
"No..," he whispered, and tried not to notice how soft her hand was, despite all the hard travelling and work they'd done. Trying to do just that, he looked down, and found himself looking down the low collar of her blouse to see both creamy skin as well as the rising swell of breasts capped in a lacy bra. Not wanting to be hit for being lecherous, he tried to focus elsewhere, though he did wonder why he feared her disappointment just as badly.
"Hmm... I'm not sure that I'm taking the right approach..."
"Huh?"
"You know, I'm not really up on a lot of medical stuff, but..."
"What?"
"An old lady I met once told me that this was good for seeing if someone has a fever," she told him and brushed his hair away from his forehead. Then she closed her eyes, and leaned forwards towards him, bringing her face slowly up to his. He could see her soft lips come closer and closer to his, and he swallowed hard as he realised that they were getting near to kissing. Oddly enough, a part of him was actually pleased by the idea, but the rest of him was so freaked as to push him to run. But he couldn't get himself to move, and as her skin brushed up against his, he whimpered with a mixture of fear and excitement.
And then he realised that she stopped just as soon as their foreheads were touching. He opened his eyes and saw that she was letting the two of them stay with just that contact.
"Hmm... I don't know if it worked out right," the redhead told him as she opened her eyes and gazed into his eyes. "But I'm pretty sure that you aren't having some sort of fever problem."
"I... I'm glad..."
"What? You look like you have another problem."
"No... It's nothing," he told her, and grinned in relief at her, but as he looked into her eyes, he couldn't help but see that they really were a deep shade of sapphire that had a wonderful texture to them...
The two of them stayed there for what seemed like an enternity before they:
