Ash's Little Mishaps

Pink Plushie

He couldn't believe it…

Of all the things in the world…

…why did his mother have to buy THAT thing?

Why couldn't it be something cool?

But knowing his mother, cool was second to none when it comes to cuteness, in her terms. Especially when the color pink comes into play.

"So what do you think, honey?" The young mother asked her son who was standing right in front of her with a blank daze look on his face, while she was holding out something that was pink and cute right in front of his face.

"Um…"

What did he think? What can he say? His mother was holding out something that shouldn't exist at all. Sure, it may look cute, but only to those who were under the age of five, and maybe to those who act like his mother. But other than that, the pink plushie was just plain creepy, especially its haunting blue plastic eyes and that taunting smile on its face as if it was telling him that it was out to get him. But needless to say, there was no way he was going to hurt his mother's feelings by speaking out his true feelings about her plush doll.

No…

The only thing he can do is lie and hope for the best.

…Even if it was going to bite him in the butt someday, he was willing to take the risk.

"…It looks cute, Mom…" Ash replied awkwardly while eying the Wigglytuff-like doll closely. It was no bigger than his Pikachu.

"You really think so, baby?" The young mother squeaked in joy. The young boy hesitated for a brief second before nodding. "Great!" She chirped excitedly, pushing the doll a bit closer to her boy, in hopes he will take it from her without hesitation. "Because I got it for you!"

At that moment, his entire world came crashing down on him. "MOM!"

"Come on, baby. Don't be like that. You said it yourself that it was cute."

"That's before I didn't know it was for me, Mom!" He argued, still blushing.

"Well, now you know."

"But… Mom…"

"Come on, sweetie. Just take it. Please…" Delia begged her son with the worst-case scenario that any mother can do to her child. That's right, folks. You guess it. The young mother was using the infamous puppy-dog eyes look. No one can resist saying no to that look and Ash was no exception.

"Okay, Mom…"

"Thank you, sweetie!"

Sighing, Ash slowly accepts the kind gift from his mother. And once he was holding it in his hands, he couldn't help, but take notice of his mother's ongoing stare. He had a bad feeling about that stare. He knows she wants him to do something with his new toy and he know exactlywhat she wants him to do with it.

"No, Mom. I won't do it."

"But… Ash…"

"No."

"Come on, honey."

"No, Mom!"

"Please, baby…" She was giving her son the puppy-dog eyes look once again, but this time… it wasn't going to work like last time because Ash was trying his best to resist it.

"No way, Mom, I'm not doing it and that's final!" He claimed, looking away from his mother while still holding the pink plushie in disgust.

"But… honey…" Tears started to form within the young mother's eyes. "I want to see you hug it…"

"Not in a million of years, Mom."

The moment she heard that, Delia placed her hands over face and cried, but she wasn't crying for real. She was faking it, in order to make her son look guilty, which totally did the trick.

"…Fine, Mom." Ash turned his mom who was still faking her cries. "I-I'll… do it. Just please stop crying already." He told him in a gentle tone.

"Do you really mean it?" The young mother asked while keeping her face hidden.

Sighing, Ash nodded. "Yes, Mom…"

"Great!" Delia suddenly chirped with a big grin on her face. "Then hurry up and do it, honey!"

At that moment, Ash's eyebrows twitched in annoyance. If the young boy didn't know any better, he had the feeling that his mother just used the oldest trick in the book and outsmarted him. Talk about a low blow. But needless to say, he had no choice, but to keep his word, despite being tricked by his own mother. No matter how degrading and embarrassing it was, he had to do it, in order to make his mother happy.

Sighing, Ash turns his attention away from his grinning mother onto his pink toy. That thing still gives him the creeps. It was practically mocking him with its stupid fake eyes and its stupid artificial smile. When this is over, I'm going toss you in the lake or worse… Let Snorlax sit on you.

With no time to waste, Ash pushed aside his pride and pressed the pink plushie against his chest, and hugged it tightly. As soon as he did, his face suddenly lit up when the Wigglytuff doll made a cute squeaking sound, causing his mother to giggle.

"See, honey, that wasn't so bad."

"Yes, it was…" Ash muttered under his breath, his face still burning up from the embarrassment.

Just then, an evil idea came to Delia's mind, something that was going torment her son for the rest of his life. "Oh, honey~"

Uh-oh, Ash didn't like the sound of that tone. His mother was definitely up to something and that mischievous smile on her face told the story. "Y-Yeah… Mom?"

"Wait here while I'll go fetch a camera. I want to take a picture of you and your new plushie."

"MOM!"

A/N: Poor, poor Ash. His mother is so evil. Hate to have her as my mother. What do you guys think? At any rate, I hope you guys like this funny segment between Ash and his mother. It was cute, but funny as well. Any who, if you guys have any suggestions on who should I do next with Ash or what funny theme I should do for the next one-shot, please don't hesitate. At any rate, please R &R! Thank you! Until next time, peace out!
