CHAPTER 25 – THE FEELINGS OF KOHARU (Fixed)

In the previous chapter we met a teenager of about 16 years called Koharu, who is currently studying at the Vermillion City Academy, who was depressed by recent events, one day, while looking for her Eevee, she almost fell down a ravine, but thanks to our hero, she was saved.

And Koharu.

"Do you really want me to go with you?" – I asked in surprise.

"Look, I know you're surprised, I know you barely know me, so how about we try to get to know each other these two weeks and then you make up your mind? I will also introduce you to my companions" – smiled Ash.

"Okay" - I nodded.

After this, we chatted about different topics and then each went to our house.

"Koharu, welcome home" – someone said when I entered.

It was my father, Professor Cerise.

"Oh yes, I just came from a spin with Eevee" - I nodded.

"Okay, by the way, do you want me to cook today? I saw some recipes on the internet" - my father said.

"No, okay, I'll cook today" - I said cheerfully.

"Did something happen to you, I see you... happy" – said my father.

"Ah, this, no, no, I'm fine, nothing happened" – I said nervously.

"You're seriously the nicest girl in the world, but you don't know how to lie, come on, tell your father what happened to you," my father said.

"I assure you that nothing happened dad" – I lied.

"I see, I guess I'll wait until you're ready before telling me that 'nothing' to talk about" - my father said with a smile.

Is it so noticeable or am I smiling and I don't know? Well, let's focus, let's make dinner and then to the room, I have to do some homework before sleeping.

After a nice dinner, I went to do my homework and then went to sleep thinking about what tomorrow would bring.

…

One week and 6 days later.

It had been almost two weeks since my first meeting with Ash and I must say that it has been wonderful, this time has made me remember those moments I spent with Goh in the past, when he still cared I mean.

During all this time we got to know each other much better, he told me his adventures and I told him things about my life, I also met his companions, who, not only are beautiful, but very good people, to be honest I got a little jealous.

But today was the last day, he would leave tomorrow and I had to make a decision, I have to clarify my feelings towards him and give the answer, an answer that could change my life, but I think I have it more than clear and now is not the time to doubt, there is no time.

Today, as usual, I headed to the park, but, unlike other days, Ash was already waiting for me.

"Good afternoon" – he smiled.

"Good afternoon" - I said.

Then I quietly sat next to him and we were quiet for a while as the sound of our Pokémon playing with each other could be heard.

Until, at last, someone spoke.

"Listen Koharu, the truth is that we are leaving tomorrow, so I need an answer to my proposal" - Ash said.

Here he comes, be brave Koharu, you have to be, you can't let him escape, not after Goh, but I was afraid, afraid that he would reject me, afraid that he would leave without me.

"I've been thinking about it for these two weeks, every day" - I said.

"And what's your answer?" - asked Ash.

"I... I decided that I will accompany you" – I said at last.

"What great news, the girls will be delighted!" – said Ash with a smile that contained great happiness.

"But I would also like to tell you something, something that I have also been thinking about these two weeks and I feel that if I do not say it now, I will not have the courage to say again in the future" - I said nervously.

Here it comes, take a deep breath and say it, it's your chance Koharu, don't waste it, it's your time to be happy or be rejected again.

"I love you, I want you to go out with me" – I said at last.

There was silence in the air, my nerves were on the surface, my heart beat uncontrollably.

"I'm glad to hear that, but first you should know something about me, I'm dating three women, Nancy, Verity and my childhood friend, Leaf, if you want to date me you should know that I'm in a relationship with those three and I'm not going to leave them" - Ash replied.

My mind went blank, but inside I knew, during the time I knew them I noticed that they looked at Ash in a way that a friend would not look, I know very well that look, that treatment, because it is the one I had with Goh a year ago and the one I had with him now, but as I said, Inside I knew, I just didn't want to accept reality, though...

"Actually, I already knew, I just didn't want to accept reality" - I sighed.

"I see, I'll understand then that you don't want to travel with me" - Ash said sadly.

"Who said that? Obviously it annoys me the idea that you have 3 women, but that's not why I'm going to stop loving you, so, if you're willing, I wouldn't mind being your 4th girlfriend, because I guess you already mentioned them about me if I'm right" - I said bravely.

Obviously I felt jealous, but I'm not going to give up the love of my life for it, this time nothing and no one will stop me from being happy.

"Obviously I told them about you, after all I fell in love with you from the moment I saw you and they already accepted you, so since you have those feelings and those thoughts then I ask you to be my 4th girlfriend, would you be willing?" – Ash told me.

"Yes!" – I said throwing myself into his embraces.

"Then let's seal this with a kiss" - Ash said.

And so, our lips came closer and we kissed, it was a kiss of lovers, a kiss that contained the love of both, a kiss that I would remember all my life.

"To be totally honest with you, I also had another dream" – I said while still in his arms.

"And what could it be if you can know?" - asked Ash.

"I also wanted to be a wife, a good wife and have a big family, when my mother passed away I felt heartbroken, my father and he were a happy marriage, they had their things, but they were happy, since then, it was just my father and me, and that dream was gradually formed" – I explained.

"I see, but don't worry, from now on, your father is also my family, and, in the future, we will have a big family, I promise" - Ash said hugging me.

"I'm glad, but I'd like you to do something for me before I leave" - I said.

"Of course, what do you want my precious bride?" - asked Ash.

"I told my father about you, and he wants to meet you... Well meet you all, besides, my graduation is within a week, so if you could wait another week I would be very grateful" – I said nervously.

"For you, whatever, besides we already waited two weeks, what more gives one more and do not worry, tomorrow we will go to see your father" – nodded Ash.

"Thank you, tomorrow I'll stop by the Pokémon Center and show you the way" - I said with a smile.

"Yes" - Ash nodded.

…

With Ash.

To be honest, I must say that meeting Koharu here was pure chance, from the anime I knew that I lived here, but I did not know where and this City is very big, it was impossible to look specifically for a person, but it seems that fate had reserved that meeting for me, why I found it just the day before leaving the City and I must say that I was enthralled by its beauty.

I will confess that along with Lillie and Serena, Koharu was one of the girls I liked the most in the series and I did not like the development she had in the last season, but now that I found her, I plan to change her destiny, then she explained everything she had gone through.

Apparently, Goh rejected his feelings and surely fled because of it, but I couldn't tell him, besides it seems that being 16 years old influenced the story so much that Goh left alone instead of with the original Ash, I mean, who had no intention of traveling with him or any other man.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Goh or anything like that, it's just that I didn't like the character and his motivation, nothing more than that, but I'm honestly glad he's out of the picture, so it will be easier for Koharu to fall in love with me, but for that I need time, so I told the truth to the girls, No lies.

"I see, she must be very beautiful so that you will fall in love with her at first sight" - Nancy said.

"And also brave to tell your girlfriends that you want to pursue another woman and that if we could wait two weeks to make her fall in love with you" - Verity added.

"I know I'm being irrational, I know, so I beg your pardon, but I really fell in love with her, I know you won't like this, but I want to save her from her miserable fate" - I said sincerely.

"I see... it's okay, we'll wait two weeks, but remember, you have to present it to us so we can see if it's as you say and if it deserves you or not" - Nancy nodded.

"And also remember, if she is, she will be your fourth girlfriend, there are no exceptions" - Verity added.

"Thank you girls, I love you, I have had incredible luck with you, that you accept someone like me" – I said as I hugged them.

"Yes, so you better take good care of ourselves and not give preference to one over the other" - Nancy said.

"Exactly, all equally" – Verity nodded.

"I never and I swear this for my life, I will never give priority to one of you over another!" – I said convinced.

This is a typical problem that happened frequently in harem novels and I want to make it clear that I will never have a favorite, obviously Nancy was my first girl and I have a predilection for her, but I will never prioritize one over the other, I will try to make everyone feel equally loved, I swear by everything I have.

"You'd better" - Nancy said.

That night we had a lot of sex, when Pikachu fell asleep of course.

…

The next few days were pretty good, the girls met Koharu and I must say they gave me the go-ahead as soon as I arrived at the Pokémon Center.

"What a nice girl, I completely approve" – that's what Nancy said.

"I agree, that girl deserves to be happy and that Goh... what a bad friend for leaving without saying goodbye and so ruthlessly rejecting the feelings of that angel, when he sees him... Hmph, you'll see" – and Verity said that.

Total, who arrived the day before our departure and happened what you saw before, the only surprising thing was to see her confession, I thought I was going to have to do it, but surprisingly it was she who took the initiative, who said that girls could not take the initiative? Well, whoever said it is literally an idiot.

…

The next day after the emotional confession.

We left the Pokémon Center and, as promised, Koharu was waiting for us.

"I have had the pleasure of becoming his girlfriend, please take care of me from now on!" - she said.

"Of course, we are family now!" – Nancy nodded.

"And a very big one on that, seriously, we're glad to have you with us!" – said Verity.

Then, we walked for about 10 minutes and arrived at his house, where his father was waiting.

"What are you Ash with? It happens, it happens, we have a lot of things to talk about" – said his father Professor Cerise.

We went to his house and sat at the table while Koharu put some delicious appetizers.

"I'll get straight to the point, Koharu became my girlfriend and I want her to travel with me and my other girlfriends here" . I said bluntly.

But far from being surprised, his father just smiled.

"Okay," he nodded.

"What, I thought I wouldn't leave him or even kick me out for having other girlfriends besides her" - he said in surprise.

"Well, you're wrong, because the only thing that really matters to me in this life is my daughter and her happiness, so if she is happy with you and accepts your situation I will not intervene in anything at all" – explained the professor.

"Father..." – Koharu said with a smile.

"However, since you have several women, I would like to offer you all a job, everyone" - the professor said suddenly.
