A/N - Trying to avoid homework. So I wrote this. If I continue this then it might turn into boyxboy (AKA shonen-ai or yaoi). So you have been warned!

Disclaimer - I do not own Pokemon. If I did Ashley would have shown up a lot more often.


"Aw come on! I said I was sorry!"

Dawn and Brock sighed but there was nothing either could do. The group were back in Floaroma Town, once again traveling to Dawn's next contest. They made a stop at the small town and learned about the huge festival Floaroma was having. The festival was in honor of the woman who made all the flowers bloom. There was a huge tournament planned which Ash was going to participate in...you know, until Ash said something stupid and got banned by the head-honcho.

Ash tried in vain to open the door of Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop. Finally he gave up and began walking towards the Pokémon Center. He didn't even have Pikachu by his side, the electric mouse had been allowed to stay. "Whatever," muttered Ash as he kicked a pebble. "Those flowers still don't look all that great to me..."

"Aw, why so down in the dumps twe-I mean trainer?!?"

Puzzled, Ash looked up and saw a woman sitting on a bench not far from him. She had long magenta hair tied into two pigtails. Her dress was light pink or purple along with pale yellow. She also had a yellow headband, red glasses, and red sandals. The thing Ash noticed the most though was the very strange looking Sunflora next to her.

Something clicked in Ash's head, "Hey weren't you at the Pokémon Summer Academy?"

She jolted up, "That's right! It's me, the great Jessilinda! Now what seems to be the matter?"

"Um, well my friends and I went to that Flower Shop over there," began Ash, pointing to said shop. "They had a ton of these flowers that they planned to use as decorations. Ya know, for the festival. Well I didn't think they were all that pretty and....well now I'm banned from the tournament."

Jessilinda smirked, 'Well isn't this deja vu?' She quickly smiled though and grabbed Ash's hand, "Now don't you worry! I have a great idea to get you into that little tournament!"

"Really what?"


Jessilinda sighed, "Okay kid!" she snapped. "It's been twenty minutes! Come on out or...or I'll send my Sunflora at you!"

The "Sunflora" seemed to have a panic attack at that. It shook it's odd flower head and made muffled sounds, "Mmm! Mph! MPH!"

"Do I have to wear this?" groaned Ash from behind the curtain.

"Yes, yes! No one will suspect it!"

Ash sighed. He opened the curtain and stepped out. Jessilinda smiled confidently while "Sunflora" ran off somewhere. "Look! No one will recognize you in that getup Ashley!"

Ash was wearing a blue tank top, black undershirt, a red skirt probably as short as Dawn's dress, blue legwarmers, white-red shoes, and a white boater hat with red around it and a half PokéBall. The poor trainer pulled on the skirt a little. "Well maybe, but can I get a longer skirt?"

"Nonsense! It's perfect! Now you change back so I can go pay, " explained Jessilinda. She placed a finger to her lips and quickly added, "With your money of course."

Outside of the shop, "Sunflora" went running towards the bench. James was sitting down this time, his Mime Jr. nibbling on a cookie next to him. The Sunflora waved its leaves around and James said, "You know, I still don't get the plan." Then the Sunflora pulled on its head, the flowers were pulled off and you could clearly tell it was Meowth under that costume.

"Don worry Jimmy-boy!" said Meowth as he continued removing the costume. "Let me jus paint a pic for ya! Pictoy tis..."

Da Boss is awakin up from a good nits rest. He is awalkin to his windo and open them there curtoin. And BAM! Bunches and bunches of poitiful flowers rite outside. He waltzes wite out and sees hidin in those there flowers are tons of cute wittle grass Pokémon. Cuz ya know those flowers are speciul. Now the Boss surronded by those grass types will say, "Well ain't this a beutiful sight! All theses here flowers and Pokémon here jus make me all warm and fuzzy. And it's all tanks to Meowth and friends! I tink I'll give them a huuuuge raise!" Then da Boss will skip around the field with all the wittle Pokémon.

"Ya get wat I'm asaying?" finished Meowth.

"I guess..." muttered James. "But why the twerp?"

Meowth snapped his fingers, "See if Ashley wanna be in tis contest thing-"

"-you will have to use other Pokémon," finished Jessilinda as the two walked out of a wig shop.

"Wait why?!?" yelled Ash.

Jessilinda waved her hand, "Think about it. You have two little buddies traveling with ya right? They know all your Pokémon by now, all the little quirks and what-not. If you end up meeting them then your whole cover could be blown!"

Ash frowned, "I guess that makes sense...but where do I-?" Suddenly Ash smiled, "Oh wait I know! This will totally work! Now I just need to reach the center before they do!" He went off running, shouting, "Thanks Jessilinda!"


"You want to do what?!?" asked a very confused Tracey over the phone.

"Shhh! I said to keep it down!" whispered Ash, he looked up for maybe the fifth time to check if anyone entered. Luckily most were getting ready for the festival. "Now come on Tracey, it won't be that hard!"

Tracey sighed, "Okay but what Pokémon do you want? The plan won't work if Brock ends up recognizing them."

Ash bit his lip, "Right...forgot about that." He scratched his back, "Weeeeell I could go with some of my older Pokémon, the ones I haven't used in a while. They might like the change in scenery."

"You have your three Johto starters," pointed out the lab assistant. "They've been here awhile and really miss battling."

"Yeah, but I'll have to be careful. It ain't easy to forget Totodile and Bayleef."

"Let me think....there's Heracross. He's pretty strong. You'll have to watch out though, all those flowers and nectar. Not to mention Floaroma is known for its honey."

"Right. And I'm not sure I could deal with Snorlax's appetite."

"Noctowl is another one, but with that rare coloring..."

"Um...there's Kingler and Muk too. Then all my Tauros."

"You can't use Pikachu either, and you can't send him over here since he doesn't like PokéBalls."

Ash hit his head. "This won't be easy."


End of chapter one! Honestly I have NO clue what Pokemon Ash will get. So I'm gonna put up a poll on my profile! I will post the names of all the Pokemon mentioned just now, along with a few other choices! If I continue this story I will use the Pokemon YOU guys request! 'Kay? Ashley's outfit is based on Leaf, you know the girl character in FRLG. Hope you enjoyed!
