Chapter 1: Introduction
Ash, Max, Misty and Gary huddled together in a corner of the supposedly most haunted house in Orre. A certain group of 'baddies' called Cipher had dared them to spend a day in the house. It was a deal between them. If they managed to survive without chickening out for a day, Cipher will release Professor Oak's Blastoise. Misty, glad to be the only female in the 4-people team, was euphoric.
Gary could only flick his hair in every direction, up, down, left, and right (except off his head). Ash was petting his beloved Pikachu absent-mindedly, quite unaware that it disliked being pet.
"Pika-Pika!" remarked the yellow mouse-looking Pokemon disapprovingly. Sparks started to erupt out of the red spots on its cheeks…
"Arrgh!" There was a blinding flash of light as Ash got electrocuted with Thunderbolt. Max offered his condolences and his speciality, Max Potion. Ash rolled his eyes but accepted it grudgingly.
"Humph! If it weren't for Gramps, I wouldn't be here!" muttered a certain someone with a HUGE ego. "Who cares about Blastoise, anyway? I'm leaving. Smell ya later!" he said, trotting off.
Max, who longed to be old enough to own Pokemon, glared at Gary, hands on hips. He re-adjusted his gigantic, geeky spectacles and started giving him a long, nerdy, typical-Max lecture before he could chicken out.
Misty immediately seized this golden opportunity to spend quality time with Ash. She hitched her shorts higher up, revealing long, white legs. Ash looked uncomfortable. Misty felt for his hands. Pikachu, disgusted at such romance, gave Ash another shock.
Misty glared at the yellow mouse, took a pokeball, twisted in style, and shouted, "Starmie, I choose you!"
Dumb choice. I mean, water and electric? Come on…
"Watch it! It is my Pikachu!" shouted Ash, emphasising "my".
Misty, who just realised this, blinked innocently and said sweetly, "Hmm-hmm, I knew. I took it out for…uhm…er…extra protection against ghosts…you know…"
Ash sweatdropped. Misty continued, "After all, these are no ordinary Pokemon ghosts like Gengar…These are real, scary, eerie ones…" she trailed off shivering.
Ash MAJOR sweatdropped at this professional liar who scared herself with her own lies. Misty then felt for his hand again and accidentally pressed a…button.
"AHH!" they screamed as they fell through a trapdoor.
MEANWHILE
"Yeah. And if Blastoise is not returned, your grandfather will go bonkers and …" Max carried on, quite oblivious to the fact that Gary had dozed off and Misty and Ash had fallen through a trapdoor.
BACK TO THE SITUATION
"It's so creepy in here!" squealed Misty.
"It's all your fault," Ash said drily. "Pikachu, Flash!"
When Pikachu Flashed, some groaning and clanking noises could be heard echoing down the cellars.
"It's kind of private, though…" said Misty, flashing Ash a seductive smile.
Ash was on the verge of murdering Misty but controlled his emotions. He needed her. Yuck, that sounded disgusting. Correction: he needed her good lying and battling skills. Anyway, there was always Pikachu to do the job…
"Pika-Pika!" said the little disgusted-by-Misty's-comment Pikachu. It sprang into action and gave Misty an electric shock. Misty glared at it.
"Starmie, bubble beam!"
"Pikachu, no…"
Too late. Pikachu sent a full-blast wave of Thunder out and knocked Misty and Starmie out. Cold.
"No…"moaned Ash. "I don't blame you, though, Pikachu. But now, we have to wait for them to revive naturally. Unless…I have some…REVIVES!" shouted Ash excitedly as he dug out some of Max's speciality, Max Revives, from his backpack.
MEANWHILE
"And this will lead to a lack of Pokedexes in Johto, and in long term, to a lack of knowledge on Pokemon, then leading to…"
BACK TO THE SITUATION
Misty rubbed her aching back as she commanded Starmie to retreat. Starmie, only too happy to do so after that fiasco, shot a jet of water out, which unfortunately, landed on Pikachu.
It's cheeks glowed and…
