~Chapter 3: Battle of the Ships~
Gardevoir shrugged off her many admirers as she navigated her way through the crowd.
PokeManiac: OMG! I simply adore your Gardevoir outfit!
PokeFan: It's so lifelike!
She eventually managed to clear the many Pokemon fanatics and sat down at a conveniently placed chair, getting a good bird's (or psychic's in this case) view of Ash.
Ash meanwhile, had followed Brock back to their group of friends. A cast that included a wide range of people from their journeys, though Gardevoir was only interested in the female members of said party.
Gardevoir: Hmm...let's see what happens if I control the brunette with the over-developed body...
Gardevoir was of course referring to May, Ash's second female traveling companion. She was wearing a skin-tight orange coordinator's outfit, revealing her young curves rather nicely. Any normal, teenage boy would have had daily nosebleeds traveling with a girl like May, but not Ash, who complimented her on her Pokemon instead of her looks.
Ash: WOW May, your Torchic is looking great!
May simply bonked her clueless friend on the head with her fist, giving him a scolding look.
May: Bad Ash! Bad! It's a Blaziken now, not a Torchic.
Ash: Bu-But...I liked your Torchic.
Before Ash could break down dramatically, he was met with another bonk, this time from a certain orange-haired Gym Leader.
Misty: Ash please knock it off so we can get back to our conversation. So where were we? Oh yeah, so my sisters decided to get into the modeling business. They were pretty hush hush about it though...come to think of it they didn't exactly tell me what type of modeling they were doing.
Ash: I bet it's something cool like modeling battles!
Ash was gifted a third bonk to the head, this time from a short skirt wearing, blue-haired coordinator.
Dawn: Shutup will ya Ash? I'm really interested in the career choice that Misty's sisters have taken. I may drop this coordinator thing altogether if this works out!
A fourth bonk came from a girl with purple, wild hair.
Iris: Yeah Ash stop being a little kid! We should all aspire to be Tarzans when we grow up!
Ash rubbed his sore scalp, wondering why he was getting bonked all the time.
Gardevoir watched with an amused look on her face, before twirling her hands in dramatic fashion.
Gardevoir: Play time is over, prepare to be controlled May...
In an instant, Gardevoir had control over May's mind and body. With a devilish grin, she forced May to walk up to Ash, who was still recovering from his painful bonkings.
Gardevoir as May (GAM): So Ash...I was wondering if we could spend a little more time together...after all I haven't seen you in a while...don't you think that'd be fun?
The sultry tone of voice that "May" exhibited, flew completely over Ash's head as he grinned in response.
Ash: Sure! We're spending time together right now with all of our friends!
Another vein popped up on Gardevoir's forehead as she ground her teeth irritably.
Gardevoir: Looks like I'm forced to take drastic measures!
With a subtle flick of her wrist, Gardevoir sent May crashing into Ash, engulfing him in a huge bear hug.
Ash: May...I...can't...breathe...
Through May's eyes, the psychic Pokemon looked closely for any sign of cracks in Ash's armor of obliviousness. She didn't see any, though her bear hug was abruptly broken by the other females in the vicinity.
Misty: Say, what's the big idea May?
Dawn: Yeah, what were you trying to do exactly?
Iris: You're not supposed to eat little kids!
Gardevoir watched silently stunned at what she was witnessing.
Gardevoir: Do all these girls like Ashy too?! This is UNACCEPTABLE! Not only because Ashy is MINE and MINE alone, but because I just used a line from Lemon Grab of Adventure Time...GAH!
GAM: Excuse me? I didn't break any laws here. As far as I'm concerned Ash gets to decide who he wants to be with.
Gardevoir's surprise turned to amusement as all three girls blew steam out of their ears.
Misty: We'll see about that Miss Implants! I was with Ash at the start of his journey and I think I know him better than any girl here!
Dawn: Excuse me? You knew Ash when he was a little kid. You're old news to him Misty. Ash wants someone he can connect with, someone to do his hair for him in the morning, someone like me!
Iris: You're all wrong! Ash wants someone to to teach him how to swing through trees-ME!
Gardevoir released her telepathic grip on May, who quickly joined the heated argument of her own free will.
Gardevoir: I think I'll try a different host. I need to see exactly the type of relationships each one of them has with Ashy.
Ash meanwhile, was sprawled on the floor, completely out cold from the previous bear hug. Other friends of Ash watched on, perplexed, but one friend in particular had sulked his way to an empty corner of the large convention.
Brock: Why does Ash have all the luck...
Poor Brock! I hope this chapter wasn't a complete failure as I was doing something else at the same time I was writing this. Reviews and comments welcome! =D
