Chapter Eleven: The pervs.
NOTE: I Am saying now that this fic will be het, as in M/F when the pairing actually gets started (By the way, who should Ashley be with?
Summery: Ever wander 'What if Ash had Been Ashley? Would anything have changed in the series?' well I have, and this is the answer I came up with.

TUC and TIM are OC's that I made up just for this chapter. I based them off of two people I actually do know, though in reality they aren't twins and their names aren't Tuc and Tim. They DO flirt with everyone they come across in this chapter, so please don't worry about a thing. Brock is straight and wont be pairing up with them, and they aren't going to be in the fic for that long anyway.
Please forgive me for not putting the quote in the last chapter, there IS one in this one, so find it, and you get whatever you want added to the fic. :D
and lastly, if you watch the Lt. Surge episode, then you would know that the gang was lost for a few WEEKS. Two, actually. :3
------------------------
Bill's lighthouse was slowly moving farther and farther into the distance as Ashley and the gang continued heading for the next town, not knowing how lost they were going to be in just a few minutes. If it hadn't been for the fact that Ashley was the one leading the way, they would have probably ended up at their intended destination in a little over six or seven hours, but as it was...
She was leading the way.
"Come on, I think I know a short cut!" She shouted over her shoulder at the others, taking off into the forest for the shortcut she had just come up with off the top of her head.
The chances of her not getting them lost was about the same as seeing a mew.
"Ashley! Wait up!" Misty shouted after the raven haired girl, taking off into the forest as well, trying to catch up to the crazy girl.
"Hey! Wait!" Brock shouted after both of them, ignoring the little voice in the back of his head that was telling him that this wasn't going to end well.
Two and a half hours later, they were thoroughly lost.
"Ashley!" Brock and Misty yelled angrily, causing the raven haired teen to hang her head in despair.
She hadn't meant for them to get lost, she just wanted to get to the next town as fast as possible. It wasn't her fault that they had completely lost there way, was it?
"Well, at least we can look at the scenery now." she said, trying to look on the bright side of the situation, though she wasn't really sure there was one.
"Look at the scenery?!" Misty practically shrieked, waking the raven haired teen over the head with her backpack. "I want to sleep in an actual bed tonight! Not look at the scenery! If I'm stuck in this forest tonight, I swear you wont survive until morning!"
"Misty, calm down. I'm sure we can figure out where we are and get to the next town long before it gets dark." Brock said, trying to calm the angry red head.
"Gm! Fine!" Misty growled, turning around and walking off a little bit. "I'll let her live for now, but... A Pokemon!"
"A Pokemon? Where?!" Ashley questioned excitedly, running over to where Misty now was and trying to find the Pokemon she had just spotted.
"I don't know, it was there a minute ago! I was read with black stripes and had a white tail." Misty explained, still looking around for the Pokemon with Ashley doing the same.
"Ah, man. I be it ran away!" Ashley said dejectedly.
She didn't want to give up, but if they couldn't see it, then it probably wasn't there. Either that or it was just very good at hiding. Either way, they couldn't stay and look for it forever, no mater how much she wanted to.
Misty would kill her if they didn't get to the next town before it got dark.
"Ah man, and I wanted to catch it." Misty said, trying to ignore the fact that she was starting to sound like Ashley.
"Maybe it was a legendary..." Ashley said, causing Misty to look hopefully at the forest around them.
"It's only legendary till someone proves it's real." Misty said, hoping that she would get to be that someone.
Yep, Ashley's personality was very contagious.
Three hours later, Brock was starting to get really annoyed with the two girls that he was traveling with. The two of them had been running back and forth the whole time they were walking, still trying to spot whatever Pokemon it was that Misty had seen earlier. As it was, they were slowing them down considerably and he was sure that they weren't even heading in the right direction anymore again because of all the times he had had to chase after the two.
"Will you two stop running around like that! We're never going to get to Vermilion city before nightfall if you two keep running us off our course!" Brock reprimanded. Shaking his head at the two in slight annoyance as he turned his attention back to the map. "Now, from what I can tell, we've gone off course again and need to turn right to head toward Vermilion city. So let's just head that wa-!"
Brock never finished his sentence as the group all suddenly found themselves stuck in the trees in some nets that had been hidden in the grass under them.
It was a trap.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu shouted in surprise as he and his trainer were hoisted up into the air.
"Hey! What's going on?!" Ashley demanded, trying to ignore the fact that she was half squishing Pikachu and had a shoe against her left cheek. "Misty, can you please move your foot? You're hurting my face."
"Sorry, I'll my foot if you move yours." Misty said back, struggling slightly, only to accidentally hurt Ashley even more.
"Ug! THAT DOESN'T GO THERE!" Ashley shouted in surprise, trying to get as far away from Misty's other foot as she could.
"Ah! My eye!" Misty shouted, having just been just been kicked on accident by Ashley.
"AH! I THOUGHT I JUST SAID THAT THAT DOES NOT GO THERE!"
"Will you two stop fighting? Someone's coming." Brock said, getting the two girl's attentions.
"To protect the world from devastation." The the voice that had laugh said.
"Oh no..." Ashley groaned, wishing she could just disappear so she wouldn't have to listen to the motto.
It was always the same exact thing, each and every time. If it ever changed, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but as it was, it never did.
Jessie James and Meowth appeared out of an opening in the trees the moment they started there motto, confirming the groups suspicions that it had been Team Rocket that they had heard.
"To unite all peoples within our nation!" James said, continuing on with the motto that had already become so annoying to Misty, Ashley, and Pikachu.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" Jessie said, striking a pose and continuing as though she hadn't heard a word that had been said.
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" James also stuck a pose and ignored the interruption as though it hadn't even been made.
"Meowth! That's right!" Meowth said, striking a pose between his two teammates, though his looked more like a regular cat posture.
"Not you guys!" Ashley, Brock, and Misty all shouted while Pikachu hung his head in despair.
"How Rude!" Jessie shouted angrily as Meowth and James raised there fists and paws angrily.
"Yeah, we went through a lot of trouble to get yous here! So da least yas could do is be a little nicer!" Meowth hissed, brandishing his claws at them.
"Yeah, do you know what we went through to get that trap set! It was a lot of hard work!" James said in annoyance, causing the three he was yelling at, along with Pikachu, to roll there eyes at him.
During all of Team Rocket's ranting and raving at the fact that no one ever showed them the respect that they seemed to believe they deserved, not a single one of them even noticed a red and white ball go flying through the air. Because of the fact that they were screaming and shouting while demanding that Ashley hand over Pikachu in order to be set free, they also never saw or heard a second red and white ball as it went flying through the air.
They did, however, notice the bright red light that was emitted from both Pokeballs as two large Pokemon were released in the area between them and the trapped twerps.
"Graveler! Go!" A slightly deep voice shouted at the same time that a very similar voice shouted: "Pikachu! Go!"
"Use tackle!" The voices shouted in unison again, causing both Pokemon to go charge at Team Rocket, smashing into them and sending the three criminals flying through the air.
"Looks like we're blasting off again!" The three of them shouted as the disappeared into the sky.
Ashley, Brock, Misty, and Pikachu could only blink and stair in confusion at what they had just witnessed. They hadn't even done anything yet and Team Rocket was already gone. It was the second tie in two days that something like that had happened, and they were all very happy about that.
The less time they had to spend dealing with those three, the better off they were, at least that was how it worked in their minds.
"Well, that was short..." Brock said in amusement, glad that someone had managed to come along at the right time.
"Hey up there!" A voice called out, getting their attention instantly.
"Need some help?" Another voice called as two boys walked into the clearing, causing the the two Pokemon to go running up to them.
"Ok, either I'm seeing double, or there are two of you..." Ashley said stupidly, staring down at the boys below her.
Usually, this kind of a statement might cause some people to worry, but as it was, the two boys that were standing below her and the others could understand her confusion. They had always confused some people when they met them as it was almost impossible to tell them apart. Both boys had short brown hair that spiked in almost every direction no mater how hard they tried to tame it, and they each had bright green eyes that were almost exactly the same. Add the fact that they were both tan and had the exact same features, and almost no one could tell them apart.
In fact, the only way you could really tell the two boys apart was by looking at their clothes and they way they acted, or by looking at their Pokemon as both boys had always had Pokemon that were the exact opposite as the others.
Being twins didn't always mean being the same, it just meant that someone else had your face.
"Don't worry, a lot people think their seeing double when they see us." The boy on the right said as he returned his Graveler to it's Pokeball.
This boy was wearing dark tan pants, a black shirt, and a white vest over his shirt. His brother, on the other hand, was wearing the exact opposite. He was where black pants with a white shirt and a black vest over it. It was almost as if they went out of their way to dress differently then each other.
And who could blame them?
"Yeah, they always ask us if we're related." The boy on the right said jokingly, causing his brother to sweat drop at his comment.
"It was only that girl at the daycare that asked us that." the boy with the tan pants said, wishing that his brother would act a little bit more serious for five or so minutes.
"Um, that's nice and all, but do you mind getting us down?" Brock asked, wandering why they were still stuck up in the net.
"Oh!" Both boys said in unison, pausing to glare at each other for a single moment as though silently wishing to kill the other for 'copying' their statement.
After a second of glaring at each other, the two of them seemed to decided that they would simply deal with it later because they turned back to the three people, Ashley, Brock, and Misty, and the one Pokemon, Pikachu, that were still up in the tree. They then walked over to a rope that lead up to the net, grabbed it, and then pulled out a knife, causing all four occupant of the net to get horrified expressions on their faces.
"NO!" They shouted in horror, knowing what was about to happen.
No sooner had the words left their mouth did the unthinkable happen.
The boy in the black shirt cut the rope.
In the blink of an eye, Ashley, Brock, Misty, and Pikachu all found themselves laying on the ground on top of each other, all groining in pain from the fall.
"Oops." the boy in the black shirt said, not bothering to hide his grin as he looked down at the small group.
"Meh, that didn't look so bad." the other boy said, commenting on how bad he thought the fall was.
Apparently, it didn't look that bad to him.
"Ge, couldn't you have let us down a little more gently?" Misty asked, untangling herself from the doggy pile and standing up to make sure nothing was broken.
"If you wanted us to be gentle," The boy in the black shirt asked, leering at her in a very suggestive way as he took her hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Then all you had to do was ask." The other boy said, coming up to nuzzle her cheek from behind her.
"Um-?" She said stupidly, turning a bright red color and pulling herself out of the little 'group hug'. "No thank you, that was fine." she said, backing away to stand with Ashley and Brock as they finally stood up.
"I don't know if I like those two, they sound like me." Brock said darkly, fearing that they would try the same thing with Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny.
No one messed with his Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny.
"Don't worry," the boy in the black shirt said, appearing at Brock's side in the blink of and eye while leering at him in the same suggestive way he had just leered at Misty as he but an arm behind Brock's back.
"There is plenty of us to go around." The other boy said, doing the same as his brother and causing Brock to get really, really uncomfortable.
"AH!" Brock shouted in horror, suddenly vanishing from the space between the two boys arms, only to reappear less then a second later to stand behind Ashley and Misty's backs in order to hide from the two boy.
He was completely fine with two guys being together, so long as they didn't try to be with him. He was a two woman man and that was how it was always going to be. Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy were the only two he wanted, and both of them had the right parts for his personal taste.
"Darn." Both boys said, snapping their fingers and faining a look of disappointment.
"Anyway, I'm Tim." The boy in the black shirt said, smiling at the group and bowing to them.
"And I'm Tuc." Tuc said, smiling and bowing at them as he added,: "That's t, u, c, no k."
"Um, I'm Ashley, this is Pikachu." Ashley said, picking Pikachu up and holding him in her arms, already formulating a plan in case the two twins tried to get to graby with her as well.
A good shock from Pikachu would take care of them if they did try anything.
"I'm Misty." Misty said, still a little red from their 'group hug'.
She hadn't minded the look, but she was a little embarrassed at having almost fainted when they had surrounded her like that, though she was pretty sure no one had noticed.
"Brock." Brock stated, still staying as far away from the two boys as possible.
If they wanted to flirt with guys, that was fine and he was OK with that, as long as they didn't do it with him. (A/N: Hm, Brock better be happy this is a strictly het (Guy/Girl) Fic, because I do have fics with mass yaoi (Guy/Guy))
"Anyway, I'm glad everyones OK, but next time, please watch where you're going so you don't end up stuck in a tree again." Tuc said, ignoring the fact that the two members of the group looked as though they were going to pound him and his brother if they got to close.
"Don't worry, we wont be falling for that again." Ashely said, starting to get a little irritated at the way the two boys seemed to be treating them.
She hated when people lectured her on anything, and wasn't at all to happy with being lectured on how to deal with Team Rocket. She dealt with those three on a regular basis and knew what she wasn't doing. She didn't need some telling her how to handle them.
"Don't worry love," Tim suddenly said, appearing right behind her and rapping his arms around her while nuzzling her hair with his nose.
"Yeah, we know you can handle yourself." Tuc said, appearing right in front of her and doing the same things as his brother, only sticking his face as close to hers as he could.
"PI-KA-CHU!" Pikachu shouted angrily, unleashing a huge thunderbolt and frying all three of them, having just been squished against Ashley and Tuc's chests.
The three trains, Ashley, Tuc, and Tim, were all three laying on the ground, looking as though they had just been barbaqued and burnt while exhaling huge clouds of smoke.
"Thanks Pikachu." Ashley said, starting to think that she probably should have thought her plan out a little bit more.
While holding Pikachu had done what she had wanted it to, she hadn't expected to get shocked along with the other two. That wasn't something she really wanted to happen.
"Maybe we shouldn't hug them..." Tuc said as he continued laying there, still staring blankly at the sky while trying to exhale as much of the ash he hadn't inhaled as he could.
"Yeah, that might be safer." Tim replied, doing the same as his brother while trying to stand up again.
And hour later and the five people were walking through the forest with Pikachu hitching a ride on Ashley's shoulder. They had talked for a brief time about what they were doing in the forest, and when Tuc and Tim had heard that they had seen some sort of a Pokemon running through the forest, they couldn't help but smile at them.
They explained to the others about how the area was filled with wild Growlithes and how there was even a poke-police school for Growlithes near by that was run by Officer Jenny. When the three of them had heard this, they had all decided to check it out, though they each had their own reasons.
Brock wanted to go because he was Brock and there was no way he was about to pass up the chance to see Officer Jenny, even if it meant taking a long detour through the forest. If Officer Jenny was involved, then he would cross every obstacle, climb every mountain, and swim across any ocean that stood in his way. He wasn't just Brock when it came to Officer Jenny or Nurse Joy, he was super Brock!
Ashely, on the other hand, wanted to go because she wanted to ask Officer Jenny about the best way to hunt down, and catch a Growlithe.
Then there was Misty's reason. She just wanted to go because she had always wanted to see how police Pokemon were trained and that was enough of a reason for her to be willing to go.
She also wanted to go because Ashley's love of Pokemon was starting to influence her more and more and she was no longer against catching Pokemon that weren't even close to being water types, though water types would always be her favorite of all.
In another words, she wanted to catch a damn Growlithe almost as much as Ashley wanted to catch one and there wasn't anyone that going to stand in her way. If anyone even mentioned the fact that a fire Pokemon was definitely not her usual thing, she would just have Poliwag pound them for her.
The walk, it turned out, was a lot longer then any of them had expected. By the time they had finally reached the training facility, it was already dark out and it was almost impossible to see where they were going. They were lucky that there was a large light that was shining on the huge sign outside the facilities gates because the almost didn't see it.
"Keep out, not trespasser." Misty read out loud, causing Brock's, Ashley's, and her heart to fall almost instantly.
That meant no Growlithes.
That meant no Officer Jenny.
That meant that had to sleep outside on the hard ground and wait until morning.
Or, at least, that was what the thought it meant.
As it turned out however, it was their lucky day.
"FREEZE! You're under arrest!"

Well, it's a little longer then last time, but it's still not my usual 10K words. I know I need to try to get my updating down to a regular day or something, but this is the best I can do at the moment.
There IS a quote in this chapter this time, sorry about chapter 10. find the quote and tell me, in a review, what the quote is and what anime it's from, and I'll write whatever you want into the the fic. (Please note that I will ignore request for legendary Pokemon. If I ever make Ashley catch a legendary, I will put it in a poll first, and she wont be catching them in the wrong region.)
Please check my profile for polls and vote! (There is always one up)
