Chapter 1: What am I doing?

Another night at the Pokemon League and Grimsley seemed to be one of the last people to go to bed. He absolutely detested sleeping any earlier than 11 p.m. since

he saw that as a sign of weakness for some odd reason. When he went to bed, Liepard was waiting for him to sleep so she could curl up on his lap while he slept. He

patted her on the head and said, "See you in the morning, kitty cat." Liepard loved it when Grimsley gave her little nicknames like that. She knew it was his way of

being cutesy with her. Grimsley shut his eyes and went off to bed.


"Am I back home with mom and dad?" Grimsley said. Grimsley was totally unaware that he was dreaming, so he was a little hesitant to do much of anything for fear his

parents may become upset. "Mom?" "Dad?" he yelled into the corridors of the mansion. The only sound he heard was his echo reverberating the area. Grimsley was

very confused. "Now where could they be?" he thought to himself. He walked up the long and winding stairwell until he heard some noises that sounded much like two

people speaking. "That must be mom and dad!" he yelled to himself. He ran upstairs hoping his assumptions were correct. Well, Grimsley was right. His parents were in

the house with him and they were indeed talking. When they turned to him and gave him the absolute coldest stares full of sadness, fear, and anger Grimsley stopped

dead in his tracks. "Why did you let us die?" his mother said. "It was your fault." his father told him. "Why did we lose everything?" "Why didn't you do anything?" they

echoed back at him. "I didn't do anything! I can't cure cancer!" Grimsley yelled at them. " You killed us. We lost it all because of you, Grimsley." his father said. "You died

from cancer." he cried back. His father lifted up a glass of wine in one hand with some sleeping pills in another hand while his mother had a noose around her neck.

"This is what you did to us." they said simultaneously. "No. That's not how you two died! You both died of cancer." he cried while tears were burning his eyes. The

home started to crumble while Grimsley's parents kept saying, "You did it."


"No!" he shouted while he darted up from his nightmare. He looked at his surroundings and said, "What a crazy dream." while wiping cold sweat off his forehead. He

then smelt something very unusual while he was sitting in bed and he felt something very wet. Grimsley got up and saw what he had done. He had wet the bed. "O

god, not again." he said completely embarrassed. He took off his pants, sheets, blankets, boxers, you name it and quickly ran to do get his dirty laundry clean. Ok, just

set it to one large load, cold water, and let the washer take care of the rest. he said to himself. While he was putting his clothes in the wash, Grimsley could hear

someone walking his way. "Damn it." he whispered. He didn't know what to do and just hoped they wouldn't find him walking around half naked. Of course, fate hated

Grimsley because a sleepy but awake Shauntal noticed him as she walked by to get a late night drink of OJ. "What are you doing up Shauntal?" he asked very

nervously. "I should ask you the same thing." she said to him fairly annoyed. She walked up closer to Grimsley and asked, "Why are you not wearing your boxers and

what smells like piss?" Grimsley could feel his face catch fire and turn red. He looked down at the floor and said, "Doing some laundry." It's all he could say. Shauntal

gave him a sudden disgusted look when she noticed, before Grimsley of course, that he had an erection. "I'm so sorry!" Grimsley said trying to hide himself. "I can't

help myself when you're so damn enchanting." He closed his eyes for a slight moment, trying to think of something to say but when he opened them Shauntal had

disappeared. What just happened? I didn't hear her leave. Maybe she's just really quiet. Grimsley said in his mind. While he was putting the load in the dryer, a

Joltik crawled up his arm and he screamed like a very loud little girl. "Shoo!" he yelled at it. The Joltik had a confused look. It wasn't hurting him nor did it even think

about attempting to. Grimsley had a very crippling phobia of spiders. He didn't like bugs in general, but to him spiders were pure evil. Joltik crawled away, and Grimsley

was able to finish his laundry before everyone else woke up. He just wanted to go to bed, but he was in for a rude awakening. Literally.


"Wake up!" Marshal yelled to him. Grimsley's only reply was flipping him off. Marshal flipped Grimsley's bed over and said, "Get up dude. It's time for breakfast." "Fine."

Gimsley groaned. He walked to the very large kitchen were the most influential people relating to Pokemon would go. Alder was more energetic than usual. Probably

from making his world famous chocolate chip pancakes. Grimsley planted his face into the table, and resumed his sleeping. "Dude, what's wrong? You're not like this."

Marshal said, expressing mild amounts of concern. "I was up late last night." he replied in his groggy accent. "O, I see. Doing a little bow chika wow wow with

Shauntal?" Marshal laughed. "Shut up, you pervert!" Shauntal yelled while she slapped Marshal across the face. "I concur. That was rather stupid, Marshal." Caitlin

replied. "Oww. Learn to take a joke, girl." he said rubbing his red cheek. "Hey Shauntal," Grimsley wondered, "Why were you up so late last night?" "I wasn't up last

night, silly." she smiled before brainstorming ideas for her newest book. "But I saw you. You were asking me why I was doing laundry." he told her. "I can only guess

why it was..." Marshal said before Caitlin cut him off. "I swear to Arceus, Marshal. If you make one more perverted joke I'll make you choke on Alder's pancakes and

make sure you don't ever walk again." "Ok chill out. Sorry Grimsley." he said. "So what were you saying Grimsley?" Shauntal said very interested now that Grimsley's

questions caught her full attention. " I saw you up last night while I was doing laundry. You were rather tired and we had a very awkward conversation." "What did we

talk about?" Shauntal said with her arm leaning up against her head. "You were asking why I was up so late, walking around half naked, and saying that something

smelled like piss." he told her. "I'm sure I would have remembered all that." Shauntal giggled at such a ridiculous claim. "It's true!" Grimsley said raising his voice. "In

that case, why were you walking around half naked?" she said. "That is a rather interesting question." Caitlin exclaimed. "Please gives us the juicy details." Marshal

said. What am I doing? Grimsley thought to himself. "You must've been having a weird dream." Shauntal said. I sure as hell hope so. he told himself.
