Part 4: The Effects

Chapter 7: Doubts

Jack Taylor was at his house very bored. He lives at Pallet Town the same town as the famous Ash Ketchum. He was taking a break from pokemon training. His friend, Haily, is too. They tracked all over the world together, even from the very start. Jack is fifteen. He has brown hair that never lies flat. He's tall and an awesome person to be around. He always has something to do, until now.

Jack kept flipping through the channels, kieeping it on for one second at a time. His thumb hurt from it. He decides, randomly, to leave it on the news.

"A strange thing is happening to the pokemon world," the news anchor said. "The numbers of new pokemon is rising rapidly. This is a big mystery since there are species that are water and fire type. Scientists can't explain it. They hypothesis it is some mass hysteria since the pokemon seem to be mating outside their species. We'll keep you posted on this story."

Jack turned off the t.v. "Weird," he muttered.

"I'll say," said a voice behind him. Jack jumped. He turned back only to see his mother. They look nothing alike. She is short with dirty blond hair. Only their blue eyes are the same. "Why don't you do something?" she asked.

"There's nothing to do," Jack said. "I'm totally bored."

"You've been here for two days and you are already bored?" she asked.

"Yes."

"Go see Professor Oak."

"That's a lame idea."

"Then I order you to."

"Mom."

"Go. If you don't you can't be a pokemon trainer anymore."

"You can't do that!"

"Watch me."

Jack walked out muttering. Professor Oak is still there. He vowed not to quit his job until he's dead. So far he is telling the truth. Jack walked up to the laboratory and went inside. He went to Professor Oak.

"Hi," Jack greeted.

Oak turned around. "Jack!" he cried. "Nice seeing you again. Why didn't you tell me you were here?"

"I guess I forgot."

"Oh. Is Haily here too?"

"Yes."

There was a silence when Jack said, "Did you hear the news on the pokemon species?"

"That," Oak said, "is very old news for me. Scientist just now confirmed it."

"Is it bad?"

"Could be, nothing is definite yet."

The conversation ended. Jack looked all over for a new one. He found it in the trash. He went ouver to it and picked it up. An aresol can that said AROUSAL SPRAY on it."

"Where did you find this/" Jack asked.

Without looking up, Oak said, "Outside in the grass. Some stupid person littered it."

"Arousal spray?"

"It's probably says AEROSOL SPRAY, but spelled it wrong."

Something clicked in Jack's head. "You know if it is arousal spray it could explain the pokemon epidemic."

"Oak thought about it. "No, that's impossible. It's just an aresol can."

"But if it was-"

"It isn't."

"I should make sure," Jack said.

"You do that," Oak said.

"Well, bye."

"Bye."

Jack went back to his house and went upstairs and shut his door. Jack thought about this. This spray can might be the missing link of this mystery. It seems so perfect. He'll get awarded for figuring it out. People will praise me for finding a solution. But then he thought that was never going to happen. Even if it did, Hack had nobody to have sex with. He knew for a fact that he couldn't tell his mom. He looked at his pokeballs. Definitely not that. Not now, not ever. Besides it probably wouldn't even be that strong. What harm could it possibly do.

He sprayed it on himself. Nothing happened. He knew it. but wait. Jack, from pain, fell to his knees. It worked better then he imagined. he needed sex badly. He looked at his pokeballs he swore he'll wouldn't use. He selected one and out came charmeleon.

"Char," she asked.

"Charmeleon, I need help," Jack begged.

She knew what was going on. She wasn't going to fall for it. "Char, charmeleon," she said stubbornly.

"Please forgive me," Jack said and sprayed Charmeleon. It was nothing like she ever felt before. Pleasure and pain mixed together to form an intoxicating combo. She was aroused. and so was Jack. And now she knew this wasn't a game. Before she knew it, Jack was on her. She didn't struggle, she understood.

It was over before it even started pretty much. Jack got up and said, "I'm sorry Charmeleon. Do you forgive me?"

"Char," she answered.

"Thanks," Jack said and put her back into the pokeball.

"I must tell Hailly about this," he muttered.


"That's a really weird story," Haily said after Jack was done.

"Do you believe me?"

"Um... I'm going to have to say no."

"But its true."

"Sure it is."

"I mean it."

Haily is the same age as Jack. She is shorted with back, long hair that goes down to her waist. Usually she can trust Jack to tell her the truth, but now she has no idea what to believe. This story about the arousal spray seems too far-fetched. It is just pure science fiction. She grabbed the can from him. she studied it. There's one way to know.

"Don't," Jack warned.

"Don't what?"

"Spray it."

"Why not."

"You know."

"Ah, who cares?"

"I do."

There was a long silence than Jack said, "If you are going to use it, then I'm getting out of here."

"You know this is quiet a prank you're trying to pull. I'm almost falling for it."

"I'm warning you," Jack said walking out the door, "Don't use it." Then he was gone.

For a minute Haily didn't do anything. It was totally absurd. This has to be a prank. But yet she didn't believe it herself fully that Jack would lie. Jack never lied to her before. Why should he lie now? Well there's only one way to find out.
