Pokemon: Yet another fan-fic:
The UNTalented Ms Misty

This story is dedicated to Hanakia. Happy Birthday!

Saturday, 9th Sept 10:00am the middle of nowhere

A narrator enters, wearing a bright pink mask, an orange kilt and a pale green T-shirt.

Narrator: Hello! And welcome to the next fic in Seadra's marvelous fan-fic collection! What adventures will our heros have today? let's find out!

Brock: Hey... you're not our usual Narrator...

Misty: Yeah, he's being too...happy...

Author: Yeah, the other one quit. I had to find a replacement on short notice.

Narrator: But we'll all still have jolly good fun, won't we?

James: Hey! I like this Narrator! He's like Laa Laa!

Brock: God, don't tell me he's still watching teletubbies!

Jessie: Well, he just couldn't break the habit.

Narrator: There's nothing wrong with watching teletubbies!

Slowly, everyone turns to face Narrator.

Misty: There's something familiar about that voice...

Narrator: Don't be silly... I've never met you...

Ash: Hey, what's that thinggy at the top?

Misty: Huh? At the top of what?

Ash: On the top of the page!

Brock: What page?

Ash: You know, the page!

Narrator: Oh! It's the thing on the top of my script! let's see what it says: This story is dedicated to Hanakia. Happy Birthday! Oh, It's someone's birthday! How splendid!

Ash: Hey, It's my birthday too!

Brock, Misty, Jessie, James & Meowth: It is?

Ash: Yup! I'm ten!

Misty: I thought you were already ten?

Ash: I was. I still am.

Brock: Then how can it be you're birthday?

Author: Hey! You're getting off track! It's his birthday and that's that! And Team Rocket, You're not even supposed to be in this scene!

Author points to the script.

Jessie: But we haven't seen the script.

Author: That's enought from you! Go away!

For no apparent reason, Team Rocket go flying into the sky.

Team Rocket: Looks like we're blasting off again!

Narrator: That wasn't very nice! All the little boys and girls should play together!

Author: Well, I'm not a nice person. Just continue the story, okay?

Narrator: (Sighs) if you say so. Misty, Brock and Pika... hey, where is that cute little Pikachu?

Everyone looks around blankly.

Misty: He's dissapeared!

Brock: No duh.

Ash: (calling) Pikachu! Pikachu! PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Misty: Ow! That hurt my ears!

Brock: Uh, Ash? I don't think Pikachu is here.

Ash: Oh. I'll just have to shout louder then.

Ash takes a deep breath.

Brock, Misty & Narrator: NO!

Ash: Why not?

Misty: We'll find Pikachu later, Ash.

Ash: Okay.

Brock: Now, let's go to the S.S Anne!

Misty: Why?

Brock: Because, it's in the script.

Misty: Oh. yeah.

Saturday 9th Sept 7:00pm Vermillion City

Misty: Finally! We're here!

Brock: It's about time. We would have gotten here quicker if Ash hadn't gotten us lost!

Ash: Hey, how was I supposed to know where Vermillion City was?

Misty: Because there was a sign that said Vermillion City!

Ash: Where?

Misty: On the road!

Ash: What road?

Misty: THE ROAD WE'VE BEEN WALKING ON FOR THE LAST SIX HOURS!

Brock: Now, don't get upset, Misty.

Ash: Yeah! You would have made the same mistake!

Misty: No I wouldn't! I'm not as thick as you!

Ash: I'm not thick! You're fatter than me!

Misty's head grows to a rather large size.

Narrator: Oh, no, please don't fight! We all just want to be friends!

Everyone gives the Narrator a stange look.

Brock: There's something about that guy...

Ash: What, that he dresses funny?

Misty: For once, I agree with you, Ash. He looks like someone from WWF!

Narrator: Please do not insult me. These clothes are all I can afford from my low income.

Ash: Whatever. What were we fighting about, anyway?

Brock: I can't remember.

Misty: Oh, just forget about it.

Ash: But we did forget!

Misty: Well, Good!

Brock: Are you sure it's good? Maybe he's losing his memory!

Misty: I must have hit him on the head with a frying pan one too many times.

Ash: What frying pan? Did you just hit me, Misty? Ow! It hurts!

Ash starts crying.

Misty: What are you crying about, Ash? I didn't even hit you, fool.

Ash: You didn't?

Misty: No.

Ash: Well.... It still hurts!

Ash sobs loudly.

Brock: What a baby!

Misty: I'm beginning to wish I did hit him...

Narrator looks shocked.

Narrator: Are you all always this mean to each other?

Brock: Yeah, pretty much.

Narrator: But...this is a children's story!

Ash: It is?

Misty: Story? I thought we were a video game!

Brock: Or a TV program!

Misty: Or a movie!

Brock: Or merchendice!

Misty: The list goes on and on and on and on...

Ash: Yeah! I'm famous!

Brock: Hey, shouldn't we be getting money from all this?

Misty: Yeah... we're Pokemon characters, after all.

They all glare accusingly at Narrator.

Narrator: Okay... so maybe my income isn't as low as I implied...

Misty: He has all our money!

Brock: Get him!

Ash: Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ash tackles the Narrator. Narrator falls to the ground. Ash starts punching him.

Narrator: (in between punches) But wait... you don't understand! I...don't...have..the...money!

Ash: What?

In his moment of confusion Narrator pushes Ash away. His kilt is blown up by a gust of wind. Misty and Brock look sick.

Ash: Hey, what's the matter, Brock? You look sick.

Brock: The scottish really don't wear underpants...

Misty: Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Ash: So what? neither do I!

They all turn and stare at Ash in disgust.

Ash: What? What did I say?

Misty: That's just disgusting, Ash!

Ash: Seriously, I don't remember what I said!

Brock: Never mind, Ash. You don't WANT to remember!

Ash: Yes I do!

They all ignore him.

Misty: So, Narrator, if you don't have the money, who does?

Narrator: Author does... I don't get paid until the story's finished...

Narrator holds a hand over a black eye.

Ash: Hey, what happened to your eye? That must hurt!

Narrator: (in a quiet voice) Yes. It did hurt.

Ash: I mean, they must have really whacked you hard!

Narrator: I guess they did...

Ash: But, really, it's like all purple and gross and all...

Misty: Ash, If you know what's good for you, SHUT UP!

Brock: Hey, we should get on the SS Anne, now. It's already getting dark.

Ash: Yeah, good idea! Follow me!

Ash heads in the direction in which they came.

Misty: Uh, Ash? The SS Anne is that way!

Ash: I knew that! I did...

Narrator: With that said, our heroes board the SS Anne and get a room so they can rest their sleepy heads, because it is a big day for them tommorow, and they want to get up bright and early!

Misty: Get up early? Forget it! I'm not getting up till at least ten thirty!

Ash: But it's my birthday!

Misty: Your point being?

Ash: you should get up early so I can get my presents early!

Brock: Uh oh!

Misty: What?

Brock: Uhh.... never mind. Look, I want to go and have a walk around Vermillion City. I'll see you in the morning. Bye!

Brock runs off. Ash doesn't seem to notice.

Ash: Well, I'm going to sleep so my birthday comes early! Good night!

Ash falls asleep and immediately starts snoring loudly.

Misty: At least I came prepared!

Misty pulls a pair of socks out of her bag and stuffs them in Ash's mouth. The room is suddenly much quieter.

Misty: That's better.

Narrator: With that, Misty falls asleep, while Brock franticly searches the streets of Vermillion City for a present for Ash.

Brock stops infront of a shop that says "Women's wear"

Brock: Well, this is the only shop I haven't looked in. If i can't find something here for Ash... well, I dunno what's gonna happen.

Brock enters the shop. Ten minutes later, he comes out with a shopping bag.

Narrator: What could Brock's mysterious present be? We'll find out tommorow, I guess!

Sunday 10th Sept 8:00am Bedroom on the SS Anne

Brock wakes up. He looks around the room grogily. no one else moves.

Brock: Uhh...

he falls back asleep.

Sunday 10th Sept 9:00am Bedroom on the SS Anne

Brock wakes up again.

Brock: (yawn) Good Morning.

There is silence.

Brock: The others must be asleep.

Brock falls asleep again.

Sunday 10th Sept 10:00am Bedroom on the SS Anne.

Brock wakes up.

Brock: Hello?

There is still silence.

Brock: Oh well.

He falls asleep yet again.

Sunday 10th Sept 10:30am Bedroom on the SS Anne.

Misty wakes up.

Misty: Hello?

No answer.

Misty: STOP SLEEPING IN YOU LAZY BUMS!

Brock: Ahh!

Brock falls of of the bunk bed and lands on the ground with a loud thud.

Misty: It's about time you woke up!

Brock groans.

Brock: Why me?!

Misty: Hey, Why isn't Ash up yet?

Brock: He must be still asleep. Maybe you should have some more beauty sleep too! You look like you need it!

Misty: I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO!!!

she storms off.

Brock: Oh well.

He falls asleep on the floor, snoring softly.

10th Sept 12:30pm Bedroom on the SS Anne.

Brock wakes up.

Brock: Uh...I better get up...

Brock gets dressed. He pulls his present from under the bed, which is in a red box tied with a sliver ribbon.

Narrator: Awwwwwwwww, isn't that pretty.

Brock: (sarcasticly) Yeah, I'll give you the ribbon to wear after Ash's finished with it.

Misty enters.

Misty: Finally, you're up!

Brock: Yeah. Where's Ash?

Misty: I dunno. Maybe he's still asleep.

Brock: Ash? Still asleep? Come on, you know he never sleeps in!

Misty: Well, I haven't seen him since last night.

Brock: We better check on him.

The two of them approach Ash's bed. They pull back the covers.

Brock: Hey, why does Ash have a pair of socks in his mouth?

Misty: Maybe it's a midnight snack...

Brock shakes him gently.

Brock: Wake up, Ash!

Nothing happens.

Misty: Here, let me do it.

Misty grabs Ash by the shoulders and shakes him hard. Nothing happens.

Brock: Hey... why is his face so blue?

Misty: That can't be good.

Brock pulls the socks out of Ash's mouth, which are covered with slober. He isn't breathing.

Brock: Oh my god!

Misty: What?

Brock: He's dead! Ash is dead!

Misty: So?

Brock: But Misty... he's dead!

Misty: People die all the time.

Brock looks at Misty suspiciously.

Brock: There's something you're not telling me, Misty...

Misty looks nervous.

Misty: What are you talking about? What wouldn't I tell you?

Brock: Well, for a start, how did your socks get into Ash's mouth?

Misty: I don't know!

Brock: Oh, I think you do know, Misty. I think you know everything.

Misty: No, Brock! I-

Brock: Don't lie! I know you did it!

Misty is now in tears.

Misty: Please! How could I-

Brock: MURDERER!

Misty grabs a statue from a desk in the room and slams it into Brock's head. He drops to the ground. Misty looks at him.

Misty: You shouldn't have questioned me, Brock. Now you have paid the price!

Misty laughs crazily. Narrator looks scared. He reads frantically throught the script.

Misty: What's the matter, Narrator?

Narrator: Oh, nothing's the matter! Nothing at all!

Misty: You can't be scared of me, can you? After all, it is just a story...

Narrator: O-of c-c-c-course I'm n-not scared...

Misty: Good. Now, continue the story, will you?

Narrator: Sure. Of course. I can do that. Meanwhile, on some other place on the ship...

Jessie: Meowth, I thought you said that little twerp was having a birthday party here!

Meowth: He is! Well, I 'tought 'e was. He should 'ave been 'ere an hour ago.

James: Well, He might still be watching Seseme Street. That doesn't end until one.

Jessie: Don't tell me you watch Seseme street too!

James: Of course! Don't you watch it?

Jessie & Meowth: NO.

James: Well, you should. It's really good! Big bird is so hansome!

Meowth: Uh...ok...

Jessie: We should get him brainwashed.

Meowth: He is brain washed! Just listen to him!

James: (Singing) I love you. You love me. We're one big happy family...

Jessie: Well, we'll just have to deal with him. Does everyone remember our plan?

Meowth: Of course I remember, but how is it going to work if the dork doesn't come?

Jessie: Well, we'll just have to find him, won't we?

James: My nappy needs changing!

Jessie and Meowth groan in horror.

Back in the bedroom...

Author: Hey, where's Narrator gone? He's supposed to be in this scene!

Misty grins to herself.

Misty: I don't know. It's like he just...dissapeared...

Author: Well, okay. I'll read Narrator's lines.

Misty: Everyone's expecting Ash to go to his party. What am I going to do?

She spies Ash's clothes and a black wig in a heap on the floor.

Misty: I couldn't pull it off... could I?

Ten minutes later...

Misty: How about that... I look just like him...

Author: Misty! You can't do this!

Misty: Oh yes I can. And I will.

Author: Well, at least try to sound less smart.

Misty (in Ash's voice) I'm not thick! Your fatter than me!

Misty smiles to herself. Suddenly, she has an idea.

Misty: Hey, let's see what Brock's presant was!

Misty opens the red box with the pretty silver ribbon. She pulls out a pair of edible underwear.

Misty: Oooooooookay...

Misty puts away the edible underwear and the red box with the pretty silver ribbon. She opens the door of the bedroom and steps outside.

Misty: So far, so good.

Author: Misty, crossdressed as Ash, walks into the main room of the SS Anne.

Bunch of people: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ASH!

Misty: Huh?

Bunch of people: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!

Misty: I thought it was Ash's birthday?

Bunch of people: YOU ARE ASH!

Misty: Oh. Yeah. that's right!

Bunch of people: COME AND OPEN YOUR PRESENTS!

Misty: How do you manage to all say that at the same time?

Bunch of people: WE DON'T KNOW. IT'S A MYSTERY!

Author: The people lead Misty to the center of the room, where there is a huge pile of presents. Misty sits down and starts opening them. The first one contains a hearing aid.

Misty: Hey, who gave me this?

Bunch of people: I DID!

Misty: Which one of you?

Bunch of people: ME!

Misty: Ooooooookay...

Misty opens another present. This one contains a pen.

Misty:

Bunch of people: THANKS!

Misty: (Mutters to herself) Ash's friends are worse than him...

Misty starts to open the next present when the power goes out.

Bunch of people: OH NO! THE POWER WENT OUT!

Misty: (sarcastic) Really? I didn't notice.

Bunch of people: IT DID! SEE?

Misty: Yes. I see now.

Buch of people: BUT HOW CAN YOU SEE? IT'S DARK!

Misty slaps herself on her forehead.

Misty: These people are even dumber than Ash!

Bunch of people: I'LL GO FIX THE LIGHTS!

Everyone except Misty runs off, leaving her alone in the dark.

Misty: Hello? Hello? Dumb people?

James: Hi!

Misty: Huh?

Jessie: You idiot James! We haven't said the motto yet!

Misty: Who is it?

Meowth: I guess it's too late to say the motto now...

James: Don't worry! I'll say my own motto!

Jessie: Okay, why not?

Meowth: you're going to regret that, Jessie.

Jessie: Why?

Meowth: Listen. Just listen.

James: One plus one is two. One plus one is two. One plus one is two. One plus one is-

Meowth: Enough!

James: Aww, but I was just getting to the good part!

Misty: Is that Team Rocket?

Jessie: (sarcasticly) No. We're the Care bears.

James: Cool!

Meowth: Yes, we're Team Rocket, stupid twerp.

Misty: Who are you calling stupid?

Meowth: You, stupid.

Jessie: James, could you get the lights? I can't see anything when it's dark.

James: Oakie Dokie!

Misty: What are you doing here?

Meowth: Stealing Pokemon, stupid!

Misty: I am not stupid!

Suddenly, the lights flicker on.

Jessie: Hey look, it's the stupidest Twerp, Ash! Where's your friends, dummy?

Misty: I AM NOT STUPID!

James: Really?

Misty: No! I have an IQ of 172!

Meowth: Hey... somthin' aint right 'ere... 'e is too... smart...

Jessie: Nah, he's still pretty dumb.

Misty pulls off her wig, to reveil herself as Misty.

Misty: I am not dumb! Ash is dumb!

Meowth: (smugly) I told you somthin' ain't right...

Jessie: Whoa! Misty's cross dressing!

James: You make me cross dress!

Jessie: Quiet, you. This is different. What are you doing in Ash's clothes?

Misty: I'm wearing them!

Meowth: Don't play stupid on us. We know your smart!

Misty: (groans) But you just said I was dumb!

James: Is she smart or dumb? I'm confused, Jessie!

James burst into tears.

Meowth: Oh really, this is so pathetic.

Jessie: Look, Ash... I mean... oh, whoever you are! Just give us your Pokemon and scram!

Misty: I don't think so!

James: Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!

Meowth: What is it now, James?

James: Look at all those presents!

Suddenly, Misty has an idea.

Misty: Here, you take the presents.

James: Cool!

Jessie: I'm getting more than you!

Meowth: Let me at 'em!

Misty sneaks out of the room as Team Rocket tear into the presents.

James: Cool! Edible underwear!

Mewoth: Look at this pen!

Suddenly, the door bursts open, and the bunch of people run through the door.

Bunch of people: WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH ASH'S PRESENTS?

Team Rocket: Uh oh...

The bunch of people throw Team Rocket off the SS Anne.

Jessie & Meowth: Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!

James: One plus one is two. One plus one is two...

Bunch of people: YAY! WE'RE HEROES! LET'S PARTY!

Author: So the bunch of idiots throw a party, and get very drunk.

Misty: Did the readers really need to know that?

Author: Of course. They were the main characters!

Misty: But I thought I was!

Author: (laughs) Yeah right!

Misty: But I killed Ash! and Brock! And the Narrator!

Author: YOU KILLED THE NARRATOR?

Misty: Yeah... what's the point?

Ash & Brock: Hi Misty!

Misty: But wait....I killed you! You're dead! The ghosts have come to haunt me! Ahhh!

Misty runs off.

Ash: What's her problem?

Brock: She's upset that we're not really dead.

Ash: Hey, where's the narrator?

Author: Misty killed him.

Brock: Yeah, and she killed us too. Ha ha ha. No really, where is he?

Author: She really killed him!

Ash: Oh no!

Brock: Where has Misty gone, anyway?

Author: I don't know...

Ash: Why do I have a bad feeling?

Brock: Me too...

Ash: No really, why do I have a bad feeling? What happened?

Author: I can't take this any more! I'm getting outta here!

Author jumps overboard.

Brock: Trust her to run off...

Misty comes running up with a sword on her hand.

Misty: Happy Birthday, Ash! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ash & Brock: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!

The screen goes blank.
