Chapter 25: Pick Up and Escape
That evening, Ash, Serena and Pikachu came to the La Fume house to pick up Fifi La Fume. Pikachu was wearing a dark blue jacket with a red bowtie. Ash wore a dark blue tuxedo with a black necktie. Serena wore a purple dress along with purple lipstick. Pikachu was carrying a bouquet of pink roses to give to Fifi. "Who ees eet?" asked Fleur. "It's me, Pikachu, along with Ash and Serena. We're to pick up your daughter," said Pikachu. "I just need to cahnfeerm eets you weeth ze bio scahnnair," said Fleur. She activated the bio scanner and it was a match. "Okay. You may entair," said Fleur. The gate to the electric fence opened and Ash, Pikachu and Serena entered. They found Fleur waiting from them in the living room. "Where's your daughter?" asked Serena. "She's just finishing putting on her makeup. She'll be ready any minute now," said Fleur.
Then, everybody heard Fifi's footsteps as she came down the stairs along with her two Spritzee; Pinky and Violet. She was wearing the same pink & red dress and makeup she wore during her first date with Pikachu. Now that Fifi had the body of a supermodel, she looked a lot more beautiful in the dress. The sweetheart neckline was more revealing too. The lovely skunkette then blew a kiss at Pikachu.

Pikachu's eyes turned into pink hearts at the sight of how beautiful Fifi was. He let out some wolf whistles and howls. Fifi just rolled her eyes, but smiled. "She wahs right ahbout one sing. Men ahre aht ze mercy of zeir hahrmones," said Fifi.

Fifi turned to Pikachu. "I tahke by your seelly reaction zat you like my dress?" asked Fifi. "Yes. I remember that dress. That's the same dress you wore on our first date," said Pikachu. "I zought zat I'd wear sahmetheeng special fahr ze dahnce," said Fifi. "The color combination of pink and red is beautiful and romantic," said Pikachu. "Merci," said Fifi. Just then, Fifi saw Pikachu holding the roses. "Ooh. Ahre zose rahses fahr me?" asked Fifi. "They sure are," said Pikachu as he handed Fifi the roses. The purple skunkette then sniffed the pink flowers and smiled. "Zey smell wahnderful. Ahnd zey're beauteeful too," said Fifi. "Not as beautiful as you, my cream filled eclair," said Pikachu.
Fifi's eyes turned into pink hearts due to Pikachu's flirting. She gasped before giggling. "You're so sweet! Keess me, my crepe suzette!" cried Fifi. She scooped Pikachu into her arms and began to kiss him all over the face. Once again, Pikachu's face was getting covered in pink kiss marks as Fifi smooched him. The purple skunkette then finished the kissing with a big, wet, juicy kiss on Pikachu's lips. Pikachu's tail became straight and pointed as well as turning red like a thermometer as Fifi kissed him. After the kiss, Pikachu's eyes turned into pink hearts as Fifi's kisses filled his heart with love. He jumped into the air and his heart pounded with love. "Chaaaaaaaa!" squealed Pikachu happily. Fifi giggled due to Pikachu's silly reaction. "Leettle boys ahre such cheeldren," said Fifi. And she giggled again.
Fleur giggled too. "Yep. My daughtair's defeenitely a keessahhahleec," said Fleur. "You better clean his face before we go to party," said Ash. "Ahlright," said Fifi. Fifi took out a tissue and wiped the kiss marks off of Pikachu's face. "Zere. Ahll clean. Aht least unteel I keess you ahgain," said Fifi mischievously. She then gave Pikachu a hug. Pikachu's eyes were pink hearts and he blushed pink due to being very close to Fifi. "So, shahll we get going?" asked Fifi. "Sure," said Ash. Fifi & her Spritzee, Pikachu, Ash, Serena and Fleur walked to the garage, where the Cadillac was, good as new. "Is your car now up and running?" asked Serena. "Wee. Eet's been gahssed up ahnd ahll eet needs ees . . .," said Fleur.

"Fifi, Fifi!" called a voice. It was Mary Melody, coming into the area along with Furball and Charmeleon. "Mahry, Furrbahll, Chahrmeleon," said Fifi. "Thank goodness you're all right," said Mary. "Whaht do you mean?" asked Fifi. "Spritzee?" asked Pinky & Violet. "I'm sorry, Fifi. Elmyra captured and tortured me to find out where you live. She's on her way here," said Furrball. "Dahn't wahrry. Ahs lahng ahs we hahve ziss electreec fence, she wahn't be ahble to get een," said Fleur.

"Pika!" said Pikachu, pointing to something. "Huh?" asked everybody else. Everybody saw some of the buildings' lights started to go out at once. "The buildings, they're losing power!" said Ash. Then, they heard an electronic shut down noise behind them. Fifi realized what it was. "Sahcrebleu! Zat wahs my house ahnd secureety system!" said Fifi. At that moment, Fifi and the others heard Elmyra's voice. "Where are you, purple kitty?" asked the voice. "Oh no. It's Elmyra! We have to hide!" cried Furrball. "You don't suppose she caused the blackout?" asked Ash. "She's nevair been ahble to get pahst my secureety system when I wahs leeving een ze junkyard. She sahmetimes will stoop to dahngerous levels just to get a pet sahmetimes. So eets quite pahsseeble she destroyed a powair line to deesahble my secureety system," said Fifi. "You said that this car has gas?" asked Serena. "Yes. But eet doesn't hahve keys unfahrtunahtely" said Fleur.
Just then, Pikachu got an idea. "We don't need keys. You have me. I'm going to try to hot wire the car with my own electricity. Ash, Serena, Mary, Fleur, you think you can distract Elmyra?" asked Pikachu. "Yes," said Ash. "We'll try," said Serena. "Bless you ahll," said Fifi. She, Pikachu, Pinky, Violet and Furrball went into the Cadillac.

Ash, Serena, Fleur, Mary and Charmeleon stood in front of the Cadillac just as Elmyra Duff arrived in front of Fifi's house. "Elmyra, what are you doing out here?" asked Ash. "You shouldn't be out here alone at this time of night without a chaperone," said Serena. "I'm here because this is where the pretty kitty lives and I want to make her my pet," said Elmyra. "Kitty?" asked Mary. "What kitty?" asked Ash. "The purple kitty who lived in the car you're standing right in front of before she moved away from the junkyard," said Elmyra. "Oh. Her," said Serena. "Fahr your eenfahrmahtion, Ms. Duff, my daughtair ees a skunk, naht a caht. She ahlready left fahr ze dahnce," said Fleur. "But I heard her voice a few minutes ago," said Elmyra. "You must've been hearing things," fibbed Serena. "Nonsense. I know that voice anywhere," said Elmyra.
Inside the Cadillac, Pikachu had the wires strapped to his cheeks. "Hurry up, Peekahchu. I dahn't know how lahng Ahsh ahnd Serena cahn keep Elmyra deestrahcted," said Fifi. "I'm just about ready," said Pikachu. "The sooner the better," said Furrball. "Sprit," said Violet.
"Do your parents even approve of you bringing home a skunk as a pet?" asked Ash. "I brought home a blue smelly kitty that flew into my arms near a movie theater. She is no different," said Elmyra. Ash and the others knew she was talking about Johnny Pew. "Listen, all she wants in her life is to find true love, as in a boy she likes," said Serena. "I'm sure the blue kitty will be perfect for her," said Elmyra. "Actually, she wants to get together with my Pikachu. And she seems firm about it this time," said Ash.

Pikachu let off a jolt of electricity which turned on the car. "We got a heartbeat!" said Pikachu. Fifi then turned on the headlights, which blinded Elmyra. Elmyra yelped as she got dazed by the Cadillac's lights. "Get een, quickly!" said Fifi to Ash, Serena, Fleur, Mary and Charmeleon. Everybody got into the car and everybody buckled their seat belts. "I'll drive," said Fleur. Fleur then began to move the car forward. But at that moment, Elmyra recovered and jumped onto the hood of the car. "Hey! You're trying to steal my kitty!" said Elmyra. Suddenly, Fleur accelerated the car, which caused Elmyra to get stuck to the windshield. "Get off of my cahr!" cried Fleur. She activated the windshield wipers, which hit Elmyra several times until she was sent flying off the car and headfirst into a trash can. Fifi, Pikachu, Ash, Serena, Pinky, Violet, Fleur, Mary and Furrball laughed as they made their great escape. "Wait to go, Pikachu and Fleur!" said Ash. "Pika!" said Pikachu. "Merci. Next stahp, Ahcme Looniverseety," said Fleur. And she drove the car in the direction of the school.

Elsewhere in the city, Clemont and Duncan were searching for Elmyra. "Elmyra! Elmyra! Big sis, where are you?" asked Duncan. Just then, the two saw some light ahead. When they got a little closer, they saw a down telephone pole. It had been chopped down like a tree. Clemont held his arm in front of Duncan. "Careful, Duncan. I still see some sparks," said Clemont. Then, something gleaming caught the inventor's eye. It was an axe. "Hey, that's my dad's axe," said Duncan. Clemont used his Aipom arm to grab the axe. "Don't want to get my fingerprints on the axe or I'll be accused of being the culprit," said Clemont as he strapped on some gloves. He then put some special powder to make some fingerprints visible. Clemont then ran the fingerprints through a special machine that could identify who the fingerprints belonged to. The machine finally found a match. "A match!" said Clemont. The fingerprints belonged to Elmyra Duff. "Elmyra?!" asked Clemont & Duncan. "Why would my sister want to chop down a telephone pole?" asked Duncan. "I don't know. But there's only one way to find out. We ask her ourselves," said Clemont. "We better find her before she does something even more foolish," said Duncan. And the two boys hurried off to find her.

Fifi and Pikachu are now headed for the dance after they along with their friends evade Elmyra. The gag of Pikachu's tail becoming straight and turning red was inspired by the gag of that ram's horns becoming straight and red from the cartoon, "I've Got Plenty of Mutton". Next chapter, Fifi and her date will arrive to Acme Looniversity for the graduation dance. Plus, we'll get to see the identity of Fifi's second mentor . . .
