Idle Conversation.

-by Mercutio.


*****
It was a lovely night on the verdant green plains just north of Veridian 
City. Under a velvety black sky full of twinkling stars, a small, cheery fire 
crackled merrily inot the night. Sitting on one side of the fire was Ash, his 
back propped against a rock, eyes closed. Misty sat plopped down on the other 
side, head resting on her hands. Off to the side a little, Brock lay on his 
back in his bedroll, gently sawing wood while Pikachu and Togepi huddled 
together nearby.

Misty picked up a stick and poked idly at the fire. "Lovely night, isn't it, 
Ash?"

"Mmmm....." said Ash noncommitally, inhaling the cool night air.

"Hey Ash? Mind if I ask you something?"

Ash opened one eye and looked at Misty. "Sure."

"You ever wondered what Pikachu would taste like dipped in teryaki sauce, 
roasted on a spit, and served with a side of rice?"

"All the time, actually."

"Oh." Misty poked at the fire a bit more. "Just checking."

"Sahright."

It really was quite a lovely night.
