I couldn't add part two to the top so I'm putting it here:
The gang looked out to the horizon to see a massive beach, and boy was it beautiful, ash looked over at brook who had this starstruck look in his eyes
Ash smiled, it always warmed his heart seeing brook like that, "this place is amazing" misty commented with a warm smile "well we can't relax now" dawn began "that was just the easy part, there's a lot more things to get through if we want this plan to work"
Dawn stated "we should scour the perimeter, to try and find a sign the crystal is even here" blake said to them, ash blinked and began to think. Will this plan even work? Are they relying on luck alone? Ash remembered their journey so far and- well.... it wasn't the greatest.
"Umm so..." ash began unnervinglly knowing he's about to argue with probably the strongest person here "we almost died to get here" ash stated as he paused before continuing "and you're relying on luck for the crystal to be here?!" Ash for one didn't like that plan, not one bit feeling himself ball up his fists.
Blake looked at him, he seemed to have know his troubles and answered truthfully "I don't rely on luck to get me through life" blake paused balling up his own fists as he began to tremble "cause it never ends well" by that ash shut his mouth. He could tell blake wasn't lying.
Robin has let out a sigh and looked around, seeing how big this place was, she began "so should we split up again?" She asked, ash knew that it was there best option but it was kinda risky "I think that would be our best bet" blake answered, phoenix looking bored finally spoke up "I suggest these three should go with someone who can actually fight"
Ash blinked and gave her a look, brook looked somewhat offended but ash could tell that he agreed with her, uh oh-, now that scared ash as brook never and I mean NEVER agrees with phoenix "and what's that supposed to mean?" Robin said feeling offended. Phoenix gave her a shocked look.
"Seriously? Didn't you notice that samara was squishing you like ants? You guys are vulnerable without an element" phoenix stated. Ok that's understandable "robin, you know I hate to agree with phoenix, but she's right" brook told her. Robin looked back slightly shocked but gave the same understanding look, she knew they were right.
"I can go with dawn" misty stated running off past her, dawn smiled "alright, we'll search this part of the island" she said following after her. Phoenix began walking and walked passed robin "come on robin" she stated "I- ugh- fine" robin sputtered out, ash chuckled silently, phoenix did not want to deal with brook.
Ash began walking off but stopped and looked back, brook stood there "brook" ash stated getting his attention "you coming?" Brook blinked at him "eh..." he said thinking, ash gave a light chuckle looking at the look on blake's face, he could tell blake wasn't ready to deal with him.
Ash smirked a little and said "well would you rather go with blake?" Brooks expression changed quick as he looked back at blake, who gave him a death glare, which told him 'chose your next words wisely', brook shivered and began to tremble. He turned around faster than a blink of an eye "I- uh- n-n-no I-I'm good" he sputtered out "let's go" he said running away from blake and passed ash.
Ash looked at the boy who ran past him and chuckled out walking after him. He looked back at blake who gave him a 'thanks' look before he flew off, ash respected that blake just wanted some space from them, they were still meer strangers and blake just didn't seem like he wanted to talk to them yet.
Ash followed after brook who had ran to one of the shore lines huffing and puffing. Ash approached him and let out another chuckle "wow, I've never seem you ran so fast in your life" ash said in a teasing manner, brook instantly turned to him "HEY-" he stated as ash began to laugh at him. Brook was now blushing out of embarrassment looked around and smirked.
Without ash knowing it, he slipped off his shoes and socks and rolled his pants up. He ran to the water and stood in it, ash calmed down a little and right as he was about to look for brook, brook had kicked abunch of water at him. Ash hopped back but still got hit "HEY" ash shouted laughing a little. He followed suit and did the same thing brook did earlier "oh crap-" brook commented beginning to book it.
Ash ran after him and caught up fairly quickly, splashing him "oh now your in for it" brook said laughing a little. The two started a splash off match, ash smirked as he secretly made a vine in a far distance from the two. He made it grow behind brook and made it splash him. Brook yelped and looked back. He saw the vine there and ash looked away innocently.
"Cheater" brook stated splashing him and the vine ash chuckled even more chasing after brook as he ran off. Ash smirked and flew after him, landing infront of him after a minute or so, brook jumped not prepared for that "danm you and your flying" brook said playfully shoving ash. Ash laughed and did the same thing, the two began laughing like dorks.
Brook and ash kept this up for a few minutes not caring what happened.
The brook lost his footing under the sand and with ash still holding onto him and applying a bit of his weight they came crashing down, "W-WOAH-" both boys shouted landing kinda awkwardly "ouch-" brook said as the water didn't come up that high the two sorta sat up, but then they froze.
There noses were practically touching. The two's brains sorta shut down, and they sat there like idiots.
Ash only stared at the boy who was facing him, as the realization was hitting him he began to (gay) panic. The moment their brains rebooted they instantly scooted away from one another "OH MY GOD- I AM SO SORRY- I DIDN'T- I JUST-" brook cut ash off "i-it's fine, I lost my footing so I should be sorry"
Ash waved his hands "oh no no, you don't have to apologize it happens" the two sat there for a bit before brook began to move his hands around in the sand. Confused ash tilled his head "what are you doing?" He asked, brook looked over at him "I'm seeing if the crystal is anywhere around here since we're here" brook stated.
Ash gave an "oooooh" response before beginning to help him, "I almost forgot about the mission" ash commented "same" brook replyed.
Brook and ash found where their shoes were after a while of searching the shore. They dried their feet off and placed their shoes back on and started walking away from the sea shore and into a near by forestry like area.
The two began searching in bushes and the tree line. But after a while ash got tired. They had been searching day on day for these stones, he was tired and hungry.
Wait-
'Hold up-' ash thought to himself, '2' he began to think 'WE HAVEN'T EATEN IN TWO DAYS- HOW HAS NOBODY SAID SOMETHING' ash thought to himself. He groaned slightly, now that he was thinking about it, it made his stomach growl. Ash sighed as he saw brook begin to look through the bundle of bushes.
