A/N:Here you are, the bonus chapter! Warning: It's REALLY weird!

Perigee-Syzygy

Our heroes find themselves ready to settle down for the night in one of the Pokemon Center's rooms. However, Ash and Iris are feeling slightly disappointed.

"I can't believe it! Why does it have to be cloudy tonight?!" Iris moaned as she sat on the edge of her bed,

"Yeah, now we gotta wait a whole month," Ash groaned as he stretched out on his bed.

Cilan laughed and said, "Well, I don't see why you can't go out tomorrow, or during a Half-Moon or Quarter-Moon for that matter."

Ash shook his head, "You don't understand, Cilan."

"Neither do you, Ash!" Iris said loudly as she sat up quickly, "Don't you remember! Tonight's the Supermoon!"

Ash gasped and put his fists on his forehead, "Urrrgh! That's tonight? No fair! This won't happen again for years!"

"Ahem," Cilan said, "Sorry, Iris, but I believe the correct term is 'perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system'."

"Whatever," Iris said grumpily, "All I know is were missing that big, beautiful, bright, yellow, perfect Moon tonight!"

Cilan shrugged, "I don't know why you are two are so obsessed with the Moon all of a sudden," Cilan got up and put his hands over his heart as he continued dramatically, "But I guess it does have a mellow aroma of sweet romance."

Ash began to settle in his bed, "Oh well, maybe next time. Goodnight."

Everyone else said goodnight as they settled into their beds. Cilan had recently decided to take up wearing earplugs to bed. Of course he wouldn't use them when out in the wild where he needed to be alert. But when they were indoors in a comfortable bed, Cilan would plug up his ears and let his flawless internal clock wake him up in the morning. He could honestly say that his mental alarm clock never failed.

Some time had passed, and Cilan was fast asleep. However, other creatures were currently stirring.

"Ash?"

"Yeah, Iris?"

"I can't sleep."

"Me neither."

The couple got up and walked towards the window in their pajamas. Both of them looked out at the cloudy sky. Iris sighed sadly.

Ash, however, pulled a thoughtful face and said, "Hey, Iris, do you think the Moon being so close and bright would cause something, I don't know, different to happen?"

Iris thought for a moment and said, "Maybe. I don't remember ever being out in a Supermoon before. Maybe it would give us an energy boost? I don't know. All I cared about was seeing how beautiful it looked."

"I wonder if its strong enough to go through clouds?" Ash wondered out loud.

Iris just shrugged.

The two of them just stood looking out the window for a moment. Then Ash said, "I guess we better get to bed. We don't wanna be all tired tomorrow."

When Iris didn't reply, Ash turned to see she had gone. Ash looked around the room to see Iris sitting on his bed. She sat on bent knees, her legs pointing behind her. She had her arms extended in front of her, with her hands planted firmly on the bed in front of her knees. In her teeth, she held Ash' signature cap.

Ash gave chuckling growl and said, "Hey, give that back."

Iris replied a chuckled of her own and said through her teeth, "Come en git it!"

Ash growled playfully and dropped down onto all fours. He got into a pouncing position and lined up his target. Then, with one swift motion, he leaped forward, headed straight for Iris.

Iris suddenly sprang to the left, dodging Ash and letting him crash onto the floor next to the bed. Ash looked up, but couldn't see Iris. He bent down and began sniffing, seeking out her scent as he crawled across the floor. He soon came to the side of Iris' bed. He scrambled under the bed just to see Iris scampering out from under it with a surprised yip.

Iris jumped back onto Ash's bed and returned to her original position. She dropped Ash's hat and placed a hand over it.

Ash moved next to the bed and looked up at her.

"Give it back, please!" Ash barked.

Iris gave yet another growling chuckle and said, "Beg!"

Ash smiled and stood on bent knees, lifting his arms and bending his wrists slightly. He started whimpering and gave what he hoped was a pitiful face.

Iris yet out a sound that was half a giggle and half a yip. She smiled mischievously and said, "Now pant for me!"

Ash kept his pose as he began breathing heavily while his tongue hung out.

Iris laughed even harder and rolled onto her back. Ash took the chance and pounced on her, pinning her down. Iris growled and giggled as Ash held her still.

"Alright," Ash growled happily, "I got ya! Now you ya gotta play dead! Come on!"

Iris nodded while giggling, and she yowled mournfully and rolled off the side of the bed. She landed on her back and gave a final gasp, sticking her arms and legs up straight.

Ash jumped off of the bed and landed near her. He sniffed her tentatively as he moved his head closer to her face.

Iris suddenly sprang back to life and licked him on the face. Ash gave a raucous laugh and licked her straight on the mouth. Iris grabbed Ash in a bear hug and the pair rolled around the floor, licking each other on the face along the way. This went on for a few minutes, until finally, they both fell asleep in each other's arms from exhaustion.

This whole time, Cilan lay fast asleep with his ear plugs in.

Pikachu and Axew, however, had no ear plugs.

Pikachu just stared at the two, unable to process what he had just witnessed in the what had to be the most bizarre half hour that no half hour ever was.

Axew just shook his head, although he did not expect anything like this to happen. He mad a mental note to remember this for the next Supermoon. But right now, he had a lot of explaining to do for Pikachu. . .

The End
