Chapter 4: Deceptive

Thank you, I'm Random.

Major Mike Powell III, sir! The game Ash was playing was Doom, and I'm glad you like my story. *salutes* Thank you sir!

"Hey, Ash, look!" May held up the catalogue.
Ash ambled across the room and picked up the magazine, and began to read aloud from it.
"Three 6 by 9 speakers, a Kenwood subwoofer, three way wiring in the speakers, and two free DVD's for only 200 poké?" Ash raised his eyebrows. "That seems too good to be true."
"But it's a BARGAIN!" May opened the front door. "Are you coining or not?"
"Where?"
"To the store! It's a bargain!" As May ran out the door and down the street, Ash began to follow, cursing his bad luck.

Ash arrived at the store a full twenty feet behind May, who was beginning to jump up and down with impatience.
"Come ON, Ash! All the good stuff's gonna be gone!" With that, May sprinted into the store.
Ash followed, entering the store about a minute after May. A horrific sight greeted his eyes.

May was curled into a foetal position on the floor, screaming unintelligible words as the sales assistant waved his hands futilely. May suddenly uncurled herself, lay flat on the floor, and began to scream.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NONE LEFT?!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NONE LEFT?!?" May's voice became louder and louder, as the other shoppers began to panic. Ash, fearing for his hearing, grabbed a Pokéball from his belt.
"Bulbasaur, go."
Bulbasaur quickly appeared, plugging its ears with a pair of vines, before looking towards Ash.
"Bulbasaur, use Sleep Powder on May?"
The Seed Pokémon nodded, and opened the bulb on his back, shooting out a green powder that May inhaled. She immediently fell asleep, while Ash and Bulbasaur sweatdropped.

"They tried to tell me that there were no sound systems left, then they attempted to sell me a two thousand poké TV!" May vented to Ash as they left the building, Bulbasaur waddling along beside them.
"May, I think they got what they deserved." Ash recalled the look of horror on the assistant's face when May went into hysterics.
"I guess so." She laughed. "Well, now I know that some deals are too good to be true."
"Luckily I'm real, then." Ash winced as May slapped him, as they walked home.

Anyone going to Kate's party?
