It was late in Pallet Town. It was amazing how many people had come to town to compete or watch the Omega Games. For weeks Ash had competing against trainers from around the world with all different kinds of Pokémon, but tomorrow it would all be over. But that wasn't what concerned Brock as he made his way across town.

"Were you followed?"

"No. Ash is at home getting ready for the match tomorrow."

"Doesn't he ever sleep?"

"Not when there's a battle ahead of him. He is the regional champion after all. To him this isn't just about doing his part to aid in the restoration of Cerulean City and Professor Oak's lab; it's also a matter of pride."

"Like whatever."

"What about Misty."

"She's sound asleep."

"Let's hurry up and have this meeting already. I totally need my beauty sleep!"

It was only natural that the Cerulean sisters would be attending the tournament that was helping raise money to rebuild their gym and town, but that wasn't what concerned them this evening.

"Yesterday I saw three different nobody girls saying "We love you, Ash!" in the stands while he fought that trainer from… wherever." said Daisy.

"He's the biggest celebrity in Kanto; I think those girls were just fans. I wouldn't worry about it."

"Well what if a drop dead gorgeous one comes along and snatches him before Misty does? She'll be heartbroken!"

"How do we know she even likes him?" asked Lily.

"She's been staring at him the whole time he's been battling in the tournament."

"Well of course she did, we all want him to win."

"Well Brock said they went skinny dipping!" said Violet.

"Actually they just went swimming. She had her suit on and he had his trunks on the whole time."

"And whose idea was it?"

"It was hers."

"It doesn't take a genius to see that Misty totally wants him and vice versa. The other night when we were watching that movie he stared at her the whole time, and I don't think that was just because she had Pikachu on her lap."

"So then why haven't they gotten together themselves?"

"It's one of the stages of realizing you're in love, they're in denial. And it's up to us to bring them out of denial and into each other's arms!"

"And how are we supposed to do that?"

"We'll think of something."

They just sat there thinking for about seventeen minutes.

"I've got it!" said Violet "What if we got him drunk! People will say anything when they're drunk, even confess their secret carnal desires!"

"You are evil!" said Lily "And that's not romantic at all."

"Not to mention Ash is only eighteen." said Brock "You could do some serious jail time for that."

"Oh… anyone else have a better idea?"

"I've got the solution to all our problems. First we wait until Christmas, and then we dress Pikachu in a cute little Santa outfit, then he comes in with mistletoe and puts it over their heads, and if they don't kiss we'll pressure them to!"

"That's a good idea and all… But I don't think we can wait until Christmas." said Daisy.

"What's your idea?"

"Okay, here's what we've got to do…"

When you're the best every jerk and his sister wants a crack at your title. Ash Ketchum took advantage of this and started the Omega Games to help pay for the restoration of Cerulean City and Professor Oak's lab. Over the past couple weeks he had competed trainers from around the world and had gone undefeated. Tomorrow he'd be fighting the last challenger. After going head to toe with so many different trainers and coming out on top he felt like he could tackle anything, but there was one problem; since the tournament began his Pokémon had been in and out of the Pokémon Center. He had to switch between members of his team on a daily basis. Today he had to check Charizard, Garchomp, and Feraligatr back into the Pokémon Center, so half the team was down.

"Pikachu, are you awake?"

"Pika."

"Good, now let's see what we're up against…"

Ash's final opponent was going to be someone named Felicity. Unlike most Pokémon trainers she never left her home to train her Pokémon, instead her wealthy father who owned a hotel chain paid trainers to come and battle her, even gym leaders. Ash remembered seeing her at the Indigo Conference, but she was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Kamilla.

"Wait… It says here she's from the Seafoam Islands… I think I've just found Kamilla's rich friend that got her that Master Ball she used to catch Mew."

Throughout the Indigo Conference Felicity had only used normal type Pokémon. Ash had enough experience with normal Pokémon to know they shouldn't be underestimated, he could still remember the battles he had with Whitney and May's father. Ash checked his Pokédex to review the toughest species of normal Pokémon. Not only did some normal type Pokémon have impressive stats, but they could also be taught a wide variety of attacks.

"Pikachu, let's see which of our friends are back to a hundred percent."

"Pika-pi-pikachu?"

"Don't worry. If it comes to that we'll just improvise."
