Jesse, James, and Meowth were walking down the road, hot on the tracks of Ash Ketchem.
James, seeming anxious, started a conversation, "Jesse, I've been trying to tell you something that has to do with US..."
"James!" Jesse looked at James, apalled.
A startled cry responded, "No, I mean, an angry Onix is about to pulverize US!"
They all screamed and raised their hands in the air and jumped to the bushes beside the path they walking down.
They've been waiting for fifteen seconds to let the pokemon pass.
"Oh my goodness! How big is 'dis thing?" Meowth complained
"I agree! At this rate, we're never going to get to the Cerulean City Gym!"
"Yeah! Wit' all 'dose water pokemon inside to steal!"
"Wait, it's passing!" James made a motion as if he were shushing them.
"WOBBUFFET!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"James, startled by the the random pokemon's yelling, fell into the end of the Onix. He held on, and hit the ground hard while the rest of the animal slithered under the Earth.

Ash was taking his first steps into the gym in a long time.
"Uh, Misty?"
The red-head looked up from her magazine, where she was reading an article called
"How to make your Psyduck actually DO something at the right time".
"ASH!" She ran up and hugged him.
"Long time, no see!"
And then, without thinking, she kissed him on the cheek.
(And here come the tomato-heads...)
"Misty?"
"I missed you so much! I can't believe you're here! Wait, why are you here?"
Brock came in, "I summoned Onix, but for some reason, he's not here yet..."
"Brock!" Misty ran up and gave him a quick hug (at least, quicker then Ash's) She backed up a bit.
"Hey, Misty! Long time, no see!" he expressed that in a manner identical to Ash's statement.
She stared at them.
She blankly stated, "You two haven't separated at all since I left, have you?"
The boys simultaneosly responded, "No."
"I'm glad you're back."
"Yeah, we met these merchants, Zara and Danshi, and--"
Brock cut in, "Zara was BEAUTIFUL--"
Ash sighed. Brock was going on and on about another girl he met.
"Same old Brock?" Misty looked at Ash
"Same old Brock."
"...And gray, stormy eyes! Her hair was dark like the the abysmal depth of emotion that two lovers feel for each other! And her laugh was so cute!--"
Ash was confused "She didn't laugh."
"Actually, she did after I kissed her--"
"You kissed her?!?!?!?"
Ash was hysterical!
" What about Molly? And Queen Lucy? Temaku? Is that what kept you, not Onix?"
"Um...yeah. I just saw an Onix storm down a nearby road and came up with an alibi. Ash, why are you so surprised?"
"I don't know," Ash was bashfully adjusting his cap
Brock lit up, "You've never kissed someone before, have you?!?"
"Uh...er, no..." Ash slumped.
"I knew it!" Brock suddenly looked at Misty then back at Ash, formulating a plan in his brain.
Misty started, "So the Onix thing was just an alibi?"
"Yes."
"Oh. Well that makes sense. I never heard of 'summoning' a pokemon you don't even know. In fact, I wonder why I even believed you on that."
"Probably because you were distracted by Ash..." The pokemon trainer teased.
She started blushing...
That's exactly why...
"Anyway," Misty wanted to get that subject off her mind, "what was kissing like?" She realized that she rREALLY liked her red herring. She wanted to know All about kissing, and what it was like.
"Um," Brock stuttered while his eyes were as wide as a dumpster, "it's so beautiful that I don't want to spoil it for you by orally explaining the process of of it."
"Uh, Misty, don't you think that's sort of a private question?" Ash, bearing great morals, could understand why Brock was uncomfortable.
The red-head ignored the successful animal trainer.
"What was it like?" Misty was star-struck.
"Did you hold the back of her neck? Did you bend over to start it? Did you use tongue? D--"
Ash had received a revelation from all of the questions his friend was asking.
"Misty?"
"What?!?!" she was disturbed from his interruption of the conversation.
"You've never kissed anyone, have you?"
Misty started blushing again.
"Actually, I just did, Ash."
Ash remembered how a couple of minutes ago, she kissed his cheek.
"Yeah...on my cheek."
Brock started, "No, no, no...on the cheek doesn't count. You guys gotta kiss on the lips to make it real..."
"Oh."
"Oh."
"Brock?"
"What, Misty?"
"Why are you two here?"
"We're on a little vacation, and Ash thought we should visit you."
"How sweet of you! Thanks Ash, you made my day!" she hugged him again.
"No problem."
"No, really, I mean, if it weren't for you I'd still be reading that bogus article on how to make Psyduck function properly all day."
Ash started laughing, and so did Brock and Misty.
"And Brock--" Misty cheerfully stated
"What?"
"Your fly's open."
