Chapter 7: We Meet Again, Ash.
"Well, that was.. Interesting." Mary Joy said, giggling.
She and the others had been watching the recording quite a few times now, replaying the video just to make sure that they didn't miss something and to confirm that the stuff was actually happening.
"Indeed it was." Brock said and chuckled.
"Oh, I wanna see their faces when they find out!" Dawn whined, wanting to see some more.
"I don't know.." Brock hesitated. "I think that this was actually more than enough."
"Brock's right." the Nurse added with a smile. "I don't think that you would like it if someone recorded you in a situation like that, Dawn."
"Y-Yeah.. You're right.." the blunette answered.
"For the sake of these two kids I suggest that everyone of you keep quiet about this so that they can find out for them selves and talk about it, if they now ever find out, that is."
Everybody nodded at the nurse's wise words.
"And for the two of you," Mary continued, looking at Drew and Amelia, "after these two have talked, it would be great if you could give them some tips."
Amelia got a 'what the' expression while Drew stood there, smirking at the oblivious girl.
"Tips about what?" the pink haired girl asked, dumbfounded.
"You know, love tips." the nurse said and smiled.
"Love tips? Why would we give them tha- HEY, WE'RE NOT TOGETHER!" the girl screamed, making everyone chuckle, except for the nurse.
"You are not?" she asked, her smile fading away. "But I thought-"
"NURSE JOY WE'RE NOT TOGETHER!" Amelia screamed, hiding her face with her hands.
"Oh, I'm sorry." the nurse said and regained her smile.
"Heh, she's on the list of girls I can't get." Drew explained.
Amelia stopped hiding her face and crossed her arms instead.
"Hmpf, exactly!" Amelia grunted and looked away. "I'll never get together with this.. This.. Boy!"
"I doubt it.." Drew whispered, still smirking.
"Oh yeah, you wanna bet?" Amelia challenged him.
"About what." the green haired boy wondered.
"Hmpf, if I don't get together with you, then I win! If I do, you win!" Amelia suggested.
"I see, then it's a deal." Drew said, already thinking about ways to make the girl fall in love with him.
"Well, that was.. Also interesting." the nurse said and smiled. "Brock, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Sure thing, what is it?" the breeder replied.
"I have to go and have a meeting with the other judges, would you mind receiving patients while I'm gone?"
"Why, not at all, I can do that!"
"Thank you!" the nurse said and pulled Brock into a quick hug. "I'll be back in half an hour!"
The nurse then sprinted out of the center, leaving the breeder and the other teens.
"Alright Brock, quit drooling will ya?" Dawn said, trying to snap Brock out of his dreaming.
"Heh, sorry guys." he said and rubbed the back of his head. "So, anyone got an idea of what we should do when Nurse Joy gets back? We can't sit in here until the evening."
"We can.. Watch tv!" Amelia suggested and jumped with Dawn.
"Are you retarded? For how long are you planning on doing that?" Drew asked.
"Sh, don't talk with me." Amelia said and looked away.
"What, afraid that you might fall in love with me?"
The green haired boy had an evil smile on his face, as Amelia was shaking, wanting to scream at the coordinator's face. Lucky enough for her, Dawn tried to calm her down.
"Well.." Dawn said, whispering a few calming words to Amelia. "Do you got any ideas, Brock, Drew?"
"I know some sweet restaurant somewhere in the middle city, it's near the festival and malls, too, so you can shop or something after we've been there." Drew said.
"A restaurant, HUH? Just so you can try to seduce me, HMM?" Amelia said, not trying to suppress her annoyance anymore.
"That sounds great!" Dawn said, not trying to stop the raging pink haired girl anymore. "What do you think, Brock?"
"Sounds pretty good, and after that you can go shopping while we look around in the festival or something and check if there's some nice attractions up." the breeder replied. "But we can't do that right now, we have to wait for Nurse Joy to get back. And man, this job is easy! I don't have to do anyth-"
The breeder got interrupted as atleast 5 persons with pokéballs in their hands rushed into the pokécenter and then to the breeder, asking him for help.
"Heh, karma's a bitch." Drew said and smirked at the poor breeder.
"Alright then, we'll just wait for Nurse Joy and head to that restaurant!" Dawn said and smiled, trying not to laugh at Brock who was bombarded with pokéballs.
"And.." Amelia said and jumped. "We can watch some tv while we wait for Nurse Joy!"
"I guess." Drew replied, wondering if he could win that bet.
"I never asked you for permission." Amelia said, walking with Dawn towards the part of the lobby that had a tv.
Drew sighed and watched as the two female coordinators sat down on the chairs and watched something that was obviously exciting, as both of them gasped at the screen.
"Drew, come quick, they're showing a replay of the last king of the field! And it's Ash!" the blunette screamed, still not taking her eyes off the screen. Drew immediately sprinted towards the two girls, and gasped as he saw that they were indeed right; On the screen was Ash battling a hot girl, both of them having Pikachus.
"When was this?" Drew asked, seeing Ash's Pikachu fall to the grass.
"It was.. 4.30 PM." Amelia said.
"It's almost 5.30 PM now, so it was almost an hour ago, where the hell is he now?" Drew asked, watching the worried king of the field on the screen.
"Who cares, let's watch this first! He'e almost losing!" Dawn screamed, she had always thought that Ash was nearly unbeatable, and now, a girl was beating him.
"AAAAAASH, I LOVE YOU!" the three coordinators could hear some girl scream from the tv screen.
"Hm, I'm glad that the camera man isn't filming that girl, that would be awkward." Drew said and flicked his hair. "Now why are they showing this anyway? Shouldn't they be showing the live thing from the king of the field right now?"
"As you can see, the stunningly handsome and skillful trainer, Ash Ketchum, has finally received a worthy opponent after almost two hours." a voice could be heard from the screen.
"Oh." Drew said and chuckled. "Ketchum, nice work."
"Well it looks like the field king's Pikachu is having a very hard time to stand up, will they manage to get out of this undefeated?" the news reporter or similar said.
As the woman said, Ash's Pikachu couldn't even stand up, but it did after a few seconds, although it was shaking like crazy.
"C'mon Pikachu, you can do it!" Amelia said, clenching her fists.
"This isn't live, either Ash won or lose, and it was an hour ago."
"SHUT UP NOBODY ASKED YOU!" Amelia suddenly screamed, but still had her eyes on the screen.
"Guys shut up, the challenger's Pikachu is using Volt Tackle!" Dawn said, trying to shut up the both of them.
On the screen they could see another Pikachu that had a pink bow on its head, running fast towards the other Pikachu, soon having its body covered with electricity. The three coordinators held their breath as they wondered if Ash could make up with something.
"AERIAL IRON TAIL, NOW!" they could hear Ash scream.
On the screen, they could see that Ash's Pikachu jumped into the air, making the other Pikachu miss with its attack. Soon enough, it got Pikachu's glowing Iron Tail right in the face, making it faint instantly. The crowd on the tv went nuts and cheered like crazy, Dawn and Amelia soon joined in, jumping around.
"Woah shit, did you see that? That girl just bent down and picked up her Pikachu, did you see her ass?" Drew said, his eyes wide open and looked on into the girls perfect body. "Man.."
"DREW YOU PERVERT!" Amelia said and smacked Drew on the face.
Drew rubbed the place where Amelia had hit him and was about to smack her in the face, too, but then saw something unbelievable on the tv screen, his mouth open and eyes wide.
"Lucky bastard." they could hear Brock say from behind.
"BROCK!" Dawn screamed, but then went silent as she saw what happened on the tv screen.
The three coordinators plus Brock could see that the challenger, a beautiful girl, was kissing Ash in a pretty disgusting way. Even the crowd on the tv didn't say anything. The group wondered why the tv show allowed this to be aired, but then a girl came in, pulling Ash's arm, ending the kiss.
"Well, there you got it folks, the king of the field stood yet undefeated after two straight hours, giving him another point ticket, plus an additional prize." the tv lady said, saying the last words in a rather strange way.
"The king of the field has left his position, do you accept his place?" the referee asked the female challenger.
"No, I do not." the 'hot' girl said, walking away from the field. "I have some unfinished business to do."
"Sexy, talented and attitude.. Now that's what a girl should be like, too bad she picked Ketchum." Drew said and grinned.
"Should they..?" Amelia whispered, wondering if she should become a girl like that challenger.
"Guys, I think that girl who pulled Ash away was May." Brock said, staring at the screen and saw half of the crowd wanting to become the new field king.
"Where do you think Ash and May are now? I wonder if they found out that they have the same hotelroom." Dawn said and giggled. "Maybe we should call them and ask them if they want to come with us later?"
"I don't think that's a good idea." Drew replied, still grinning. "If I know May, either they're together now, or the opposite, it depends on what happened exactly after she pulled him away."
"Well, then we shouldn't call them." Dawn said and smiled. "Right Amelia, Amelia?"
The blue haired girl watched as Amelia was thinking deeply of something.
"Hello? Amelia?" the blue haired girl continued. "Are you thinking about your booooooyfriiiiiiiiend?"
At these words, the pink haired coordinator almost jumped out of her thoughts.
"I AM NOT." she replied.
Dawn giggled before taking Amelia's arm and dragging her to her own room.
"C'mon, let's hang out in my room before we head out for dinner!" she said, still dragging Amelia who almost fell to the floor.
"So." Drew started, turning off the tv. "You done with those guys from before?"
"Yeah, I thought I was done and then more guys came in, I hate that king of the field thing, it's their fault I get to do so much work." Brock replied.
The two of them turned around and saw even more people needing assistance.
"Heh, Drew, help me out will ya?" Brock said, walking towards the people.
"Oh come on.." Drew said, shaking his head. "Don't make me, man."
Brock grinned and motioned for the green haired boy to help, and so he did, and he regretted it just after the first person that needed help.
"So, who is is this May girl?" Dawn asked Amelia.
The two girls sat in the little room that Dawn had for herself, only containing one single room with one bed, plus a bathroom.
"How should I know, she's pretty cool.. I met her last night, when Drew stalked her."
"Stalked her..?"
"Oh right, I haven't told you yet." the pink haired girl said and sighed. "Well.. It's this guy that May met, and Drew was stalking her before he even met her. So, Drew thought that this guy was some kind of kidnapper, which he wasn't, so he decided to follow him, calling me too. And we followed them to their house, and Drew, out of jealousy, kinda screwed up this guy's room upstairs. Then I met her, she was cool, but I don't know anything much more than that."
"Oh, she's real sweet, she used to travel with Ash and Brock."
"Really? I heard she won a few contests, too, she's Drew's rival, also."
"Hm, enough about that." Dawn said and smiled. "Are you together with Drew?"
Dawn whispered the last words, afraid that somebody might hear them. Amelia blushed and quickly denied it.
"OF COURSE NOT!" she 'whispered'. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WITH DREW? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
"Whhaaaaaaat? You clearly give him these weird looks with your eyes, and you stand next to him so much often.. You think he's sexy, don't you?"
"HEY. JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK IT IT DOESN'T MEAN I DO."
"But you think so.. Right?"
Amelia blushed even more and went to the bathroom to 'freshen up', leaving the blue haired girl to giggle.
"So." Amelia said from the bathroom. "You have a crush on Ash?"
"HM? WHO TOLD YOU THAT?" the blue haired girl screamed, stopping her giggling.
"Heh, nobody did, I think." Amelia said and giggled. "So you dooooooooooo have a crush on him?"
"N-No, I had, not anymore."
"What happened?" Amelia asked worried, now done with hiding her blushing. "Did he hurt you?"
"I.. Yes, but not on purpose, he didn't even know anything. Actually, there have been many girls who wanted to have Ash, but nobody has ever won his heart." Dawn said and sighed. "But this girl, May, I think she has a shot on this."
"Maybe so, maybe so." Amelia said and giggled. "Now, truth or dare?"
"What?"
"TRUTH OR DARE!" Amelia screamed with a grin.
"Uh, you first." Dawn replied.
"FINE!"
"Thank you so much nurse Brock! I thought it was something serious!"
"It's nothing, just be careful with giving them the wrong food next time."
The breeder and the green haired boy watched as their last patient left the pokécenter, sighing afterwards.
"I'll never help you anymore." the boy, Drew, said and sighed. He never thought that being a pokémon nurse could be so hard. How the hell could Nurse Joy to do this herself? Plus her Chansey.
"Heh, sorry, I really needed your help." Brock replied.
"Hmpf, when's Nurse Joy coming back? I'm sick of this."
"I don't know, it's been almost 30 minutes now."
The two of them sighed once more as the center doors went open, they thought they would atleast get a few minutes break. They gasped as they saw that the person was a familiar young boy, although he looked a little bit.. Different.
"Ash! Hey, where've-"
The breeder stopped as he saw that the boy was looking very bad, his Pikachu smiling.
"What happened to you?" Drew asked, smirking. "You accidentally kissed May?"
"No, he didn't."
Brock and Drew looked at the doors and saw a young brunette behind the boy, clearly upset about something.
"Why hello there, May." Brock said.
"Hi Brock!" May said, back to normal. "Thanks for that room, I really appreciate it!"
"Actually, it was Ash who got it." Brock said and rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh." the girl said, her smile now gone, but it quickly came back. "How've you been, Brock? I really missed you!"
"Yeah, it's been too long, I've been great!" the breeder said, hugging the girl. "How about you, won many contests, eh?"
"Um, yeah!" May said and giggled.
The green haired boy chuckled, making the brunette and the breeder to stare at him.
"What is it, Drew?" May asked.
"You haven't told them?" he replied, smirking.
"Um, no!" May said, glaring at Drew.
"Tell us what, May?" Brock wondered.
"Um, nothing! I'll tell you later!" May said, jumping around. "Now where's that blue haired girl Drew said you have been traveling with?"
"Oh, you mean Dawn?" Brock asked, smiling over Ash who was still standing there, not moving and his eyes half closed. "She's in her room with Amelia, I forgot which room it was."
"Oh yeah, Amelia! I have to ask her about what happened last night."
"She got kidnapped." Drew said, closing his eyes.
"She what?" May and Brock shouted at once.
"Yep. But she's fine now, I took care of it."
"But.. Shouldn't we call her parents or something?" May asked worried. "AND WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, DID I GET KIDNAPPED TOO?"
"No, you slept after we saved those pokémon. You were sleeping while all of this happened."
"Oh." May said and blushed. "What happened exactly?"
"Yeah Drew, I don't know anything about this, have you called the cops? It all sounds very dangerous, Drew."
"Yes we have, everything is fine now, except for one asshole." Drew said, whispering the last words. "I promise I'll tell you everything later."
"Fine, I wanna see Dawn now!" May squealed.
After she said that, the four persons, minus one half dead boy and plus a Pikachu, saw two girls come out from the hallway.
"Hi Dawn, Amelia!" May almost screamed and sprinted towards the two girls. "It's so good to finally see you, Dawn!"
"Uh.. Y-Yeah.." the blue haired his stuttered.
"Hi May." Amelia said and winked. She then pushed Dawn using her elbow. "Well? Are you gonna do it?"
"Do what?" May wondered.
"I'm.. I'm sorry, May." the blue haired girl whispered.
"F-For what?" May asked, now starting to get worried.
Dawn gulped once before leaving the confused brunette and a smirking pink haired girl, and headed towards the boys in the pokécenter. She walked fast, past Drew and Brock, and was now standing before her ex-crush.
"A-Ash..?" the girl barely got out, looking into the boy's auburn eyes. "Are you there..?"
She didn't get any answer, the boy was still staring into deep nothing. The other teens and the breeder watched curiously as they wondered what was going on, except for Amelia, who knew exactly what was going to happen.
"Pika pika pikapi?" the yellow creature asked.
"H.. Hi, Pikachu.." Dawn said, still trying to wake up Ash.
Dawn gulped once before doing what she had promised Amelia to do. She wrapped her arms around Ash's neck, pressing her body and lips against his own. Drew, Brock and May gasped in disbelief as they could see the blue haired girl squeeze Ash's lips with her own, also using her tongue, touching the inside of Ash's mouth every now and then. Ash's eyes were now wide open, although he didn't move. Even Pikachu couldn't believe what was happening, his eyes also wide open. Dawn now stopped having fun with Ash's lips and mouth, and she slowly broke away, also letting go of his neck with her arms.
"Ash..?" she finally asked, still feeling Ash's saliva on her tongue. The boy opened his mouth to say something, his eyes still lost somewhere.
"Yu.. Yummy." the boy said, before falling straight backwards to the floor like a stick, with a satisfied look on his face.
Somewhere in the forest just outside Jubilife City, a young man, or a 16 year old boy to be precise, was trying to figure out something to do. He had bought a chainsaw and was now standing next to a familiar tree he had seen a few times last night.
"Thought you were gonna get away, huh?" the boy said, glaring at a certain tree. He started up the chainsaw, which was a very powerful and expensive one, just to ensure that maximum damage was dealt. The boy slowly tilted the chainsaw that was on maximum power towards the helpless tree, but got stopped as his cellphone was ringing.
"What?" the boy said annoyed. "I'm in the middle of something."
"Like what?" his uncle asked.
".. I'm taking care of.. Someone."
"On what purpose?"
"He.. He mocked me."
"I see. Is it worth killing him for that?"
"Yes."
"Hmpf, very well. Now, the fools have already established the first parts, you'll have to get there later and check that everything is fine."
"Will do." John said and grinned. "Bye, uncle."
He ended the call and started to 'take care' of the tree, smirking as he did so. After a little moment, the tree had finally collapsed to the grass, while John was laughing like a mad scientist all the time.
"Is it ready yet?" a very powerful man asked.
"Y-Yes sir." a terrified scientist answered. "But we don't know if there are any side effects to this."
"How long before it is completely done?"
"It should take about three days."
"Very well." the man said and spinned around in his chair.
"Are you still here?" the man said. "Get out of here!"
The scientist plus his companions left the room and the man to think about his plans.
"Pikapi?"
"My head.."
The young boy rubbed his forehead, feeling all dead.
"Are you alright, Ash?" a woman asked.
"No.. My head hurts like hell, why am I so dry in my mouth?"
"I don't know, dear." the nurse said and checked the boy's eyes. "You seem alright, is there anything else than your headache?"
"I, I don't think so.." Ash answered, trying to find his Pikachu. "Where is everyone?"
"Brock and Drew are just outside with your Pikachu, the girls are fighting over something.." the nurse said and giggled. "I don't know what happened, Brock told me that you fainted."
"Alright, thanks for everything." the boy said and raised himself from the bed.
"Oh no you don't!" the nurse said and pushed the boy down back to the bed. "You're staying right here!"
"But I'm perfectly fine!" the boy whined.
As he said that, Brock and Drew entered the room, wondering if their friend was alright.
"Ketchum. You okay?" Drew asked and smirked.
"Yeah, I'm ready to go!" the boy said, trying to get up but was stopped by the nurse.
"Heh, doesn't look like it, Ash." the breeder said and chuckled. "Nurse Joy, can Ash come with us to the restaurant?"
"What restaurant?" the boy said, confused.
"I'm afraid not, Brock." the nurse said and sighed. "Because of that he fainted, he has to stay in the bed until tomorrow."
"WHAT?" the boy screamed, he had never liked being stuck in one place for a long period of time. "I can't stay here doing nothing!"
"Alright then." the breeder said and sighed. "Ash, do you want us to get something for you?"
"No, I'm coming with you!" the boy whined.
"I don't think so." Brock said and chuckled. "So, something you want us to get for you while we're gone?"
"I don't want to be any trouble.." Ash said and grunted.
"Come on, there's gotta be something you'd like."
"Well.." Ash said and crossed his arms. "I would like to have three burgers, with extra fries, one large milkshake, strawberry flavor, and some ramen."
"Oh my." the nurse said and giggled. "I guess it's good to have a good apatite."
"Heh, anything else?" Brock asked and sighed.
"Well.." the boy said and thought about it.
"I'd like to have some ice cream, with some chocolate sauce on. Five donuts, different flavors. That is all, eheheh." the boy said and rubbed the back of his head.
"Uh.. Anything else?" Brock asked, looking at Drew for assistance, although the green haired boy shook his head; he wouldn't help Brock on this one.
"Yes, LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Ash whined and fake-cried.
The three persons watched the boy with amusement and huge smiles.
"Well, we have to get going now, we'll get back in a few hours with your stuff, too, Ash." Brock said and went out of the room with Drew. "See you!"
"Bye." Drew said and gave Ash a quick nod before going out of the room with Brock."
"Well.." the nurse started and giggled. "I have to take care of a few pokémon, don't get out of the bed, okay?"
Ash only grunted for an answer, making the nurse giggle once more. She got out of the room, closed the door, leaving the young boy to lie there, without his Pikachu, that probably went with Brock and the other guys. He sighed and rested his head on the soft pillow, trying to remember why he had fainted before.
The boy only closed his eyes for a second, and when he opened them, he wasn't in the room anymore. He sighed and took a deep breath. He was in that cliff again, so that girl was probably not too far away from where he was.
"I see you're back."
Ash snapped his head up, seeing the girl with the beautiful dress and that parasol watching the sunset at the end of the cliff.
"Why did you do that?" Ash asked, watching the lady's behind.
"Do what?" the girl said and giggled. "If any, you did something."
"Why don't you just show me who you are?" Ash asked irritated.
"You have to figure out yourself.." the girl said lowly. "You've forgotten me, I never thought you could do that."
"I'm going crazy."
"Maybe you are.." the girl said and giggled again. "So, why are you here?"
"What the h-, how should I know? I just got tired and went off to sleep, I guess."
"You've done that many times, but this is only the second time you're here." the girl said, tilting her head just a little bit towards the boy that was standing behind her. "Isn't it beautiful..?"
"I told you last time.. It is." Ash said, watching the never ending shore and the sunset. "But it's probably just my imagination.
"Oh really?" the girl said, taking down her parasol, but still facing the ocean. "How can you be so sure about that?"
"What else could this be? It's clearly a dream." Ash said, seeing that the girl had brown, long hair.
"Oh, you silly boy. Dreams can be so much more than just random images and memories."
"Oh yeah? Like what." the boy asked, sitting down on a rock behind him.
"They.. Give you inspiration, different perspectives. They also make you realize things."
"Go on.." Ash said, standing up again.
"They give people peace.. A place to stay, when people don't have any place to go."
"And..?" Ash said, sneaking towards the girl, one, single, quiet step at a time.
"They're like a second life."
There was an awkward silence, the only thing that could be heard was the water hitting the shore, and the cool breeze that rustled the trees and grass.
"Don't you think so, boy?" the girl asked and giggled.
Ash, however, didn't answer, as he was still trying to sneak up to the girl. He was now only a few inches from her, his body and mind filled with excitement, he would get to see who this mysterious person was, whether it was his dream's creation or not.
"Boy..?" the girl asked again.
Ash didn't answer, as he slowly raised his hand, aiming for the girl's shoulder.
"I.." the girl continued, not giggling anymore. "I know you're there."
Ash opened his eyes, punching himself in the stomach for failing. It would probably take days before he would meet her again. He cursed himself and punched himself in the stomach again, regretting it afterwards.
"Ow.." he whispered, rubbing his now red skin.
As he was doing that, he closed his eyes, hearing that somebody opened the door.
"Hi Brock." Ash said and yawned. "You back already?"
He didn't get any answer, and the person who entered the room slowly walked towards Ash on the bed.
"Nurse Joy..?" Ash asked, opening one eye.
He didn't see anyone on that side, wondering if he had gone nuts. He sighed once before closing his eyes again, but then he heard something.. Someone that was breathing. He opened his eyes and saw a beautiful girl just above his face, looking down on him.
"Booh."
