Time To Hang Out

As Ash arrived in the main lounge room, he saw that everyone was already there.

"There you are Ash. Now we can get this party started" said Brock as Ash set the food down.

"You guys didn't have to wait for me" said Ash.

"We were only waiting for a few seconds" said Iris. Ash smiled and sat down next to Lillie, who instantly started blushing. But Ash being Ash, didn't notice.

"Have you guys gotten any challengers" asked Sophocles.

"Not recently. But I've been keeping an eye on things, and we might soon" said Clemont.

"If the talent of coordinators is anything to go by, then you should have lots of challengers. Right May" said Dawn.

"Like, yeah. Ugh, my heads been kinda fussy lately" said May, sounding a little more airheaded.

"Hey Misty, did you do something with your hair" asked Lana. Then Ash noticed it. Misty's hair looked longer in her side ponytail. It wasn't much, but noticable. And it even looked like her lips were a little bigger.

"No, but I've been considering letting it grow out for a while, and I think I'm going to do it. What do you think Ash" said Misty while flipping her hair.

"Um, I think it'll look great no matter what you do with it" he said. This made Misty blush a crimson red.

"Th-thanks. But I think I'm going to do it" she said with a smile.

"Ash, you're looking good today" said Dawn as she stood in front of him, bending over. If her top was different, she would be showing off a lot of cleavage.

"Um, thanks" he said as he looked away.

"Lillie, do you want something to drink" he asked as Dawn huffed and turned away. Lillie snapped her attention back to Ash.

"Hu, oh sure. I'll have some punch" she said. Ash got up and walked over to the table with all the drinks. Mallow was also there, filling up her cup with punch. There hands brushed each other. An "eeep" escaped her lips as her eyes went wide and face turned red.

"Oh, sorry Mallow. Did I shock you" he said.

"Y-yeah. But it's fine" she said before quickly going over to Lana. Ash sat down and handed Lillie her drink.

"Thanks" she said.

"Hey Lillie, you seem a little distracted. You ok" asked Kiawe.

"Oh, no I'm fine. I ah, walked in on Ash earlier" she said, blushing even more.

"Oh, that explains it" said Kiawe.

"Yeah, happens all the time. Nothing to feel bad about" said Cilan.

"Did you like what you saw" asked Dawn with a wicked smirk.

"Yeah, I MEAN, I didn't see anything" stumbled Lillie as she got even reder.

"Leave her alone" said Serena as everyone laughed. But Ash was putting the pieces together. Misty's hair, May's voice, Dawn's actions, Mallow's reaction and Lillie's blush.

The remote was real.
