Six Years Ago . . .
(Insert "Alouette")
Fifi La Fume and her mentor, Pepé Le Pew were preparing to leave for Celadon City for a trip. It was a day before Ash and co. arrived there. They were currently packing their stuff. "So, why ahre we headeeng to Celahdahn Ceety, Måahnsieur Pepé?" asked Fifi. "Zere ees a fahmous perfume shahp een ziss ceety. Eet sells sahme of ze mahst wahnderful smelleeng perfumes ahnd cahlognes. We cahn buy sahme to ahttrahct our true lahves, yes?" asked Pepé. "Wee," said Fifi.

Later, as Fifi and Pepé were leaving, they encountered Shirley the Loon. "Hello Fifi. Hello Pepé," said Shirley. "Bahnjour," said both skunks. "Where are you two off too?" asked Shirley. "We're going to Celahdahn Ceety to veesit a perfume shahp. Zey sell ze best perfumes ahnd cahlognes," said Pepé. "Who knows? I might run eento zat Peekahchu who sahved me. I searched everywhere een ze woods. But nahne of ze Peekahchus wahs ze one who sahved me," said Fifi. "How could you tell?" asked Shirley. "Nahne of zem hahd breath zat smelled like ketchup. Eet's quite pahsseeble zat he, how you should say, meegrahted bahck to Kahnto," said Fifi. "Well, if you really want to catch that Pikachu to be your boyfriend, use this," said Shirley. She handed Fifi a Poké Ball. "A bahll?" asked Fifi. "How will ziss bahll help Fifi get ze Peekahchu?" asked Pepé. "It's a Poké Ball. It's what Pokémon Trainers use to catch Pokémon. Like, you throw the ball once you a have Pokémon in your sights and when the balls hits the Pokémon, they're instantly captured," said Shirley. "Merci, merci, merci!" said Fifi, shaking Shirley's hand. She then began to prance ahead of Pepé. "Kahnto, here I cahme!" said Fifi. "Wait fahr me, my student," said Pepé, hopping after Fifi.
The next day, Ash Ketchum was fuming at the Celadon City Park. Back in his Kanto days, Ash wore a blue & white jacket with gold trim worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, a brown belt with a silver buckle, black, white & red sneakers, green, fingerless gloves and a red & white hat with a green "L" on it. He also had a green backpack. "It's not fair! All I said was that I didn't like perfume in the most honest way! And what does the Gym Leader do?! She bans me from challenging her Gym! I can't compete in the Indigo League Tournament without the Rainbow Badge! And what's worse, Pikachu, Misty and Brock sided with her and not me! It's just not fair!" complained Ash.
"You're not the first Pokémon Trainer to get unfairly banned from the Gym," said a voice. Ash turned and saw that the voice belonged to a boy a few years older than Ash. "Who are you?" asked Ash. "A Pokémon Trainer who was banned from challenging Erika, like yourself, for the most petty reason. I am one of many Trainers who was unfairly banned," said the Trainer sadly. "How long has this been going on?" asked Ash. "Two years. I missed the Indigo League Tournament the first year of my journey, two years ago. And I missed the tournament last year too. And now, I'm going to miss it again this year. I might as well go home seeing I'll never enter a tournament ever," said the Trainer.

Hearing this made Ash angry. He banged his fist on a nearby bench. "Give up?! You can't give up! You wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer so badly! You can't quit now! We can't let Erika get away with denying Trainers their dreams! She must be punished for her petty intolerance!" yelled Ash. "How?" asked the Trainer. Ash thought for a moment. "Is there any way to contact the Pokémon League itself?" asked Ash. "Yes. There should. Let's go ask Nurse Joy. She might know. I can't believe I didn't think of it before. I guess I was too depressed to think about it until you showed up," said the Trainer. "Thanks. By the way, what is your name?" asked Ash. "Geki," said the Trainer. "I'm Ash Ketchum," said Ash. And the two began to head toward the Pokémon Center.
(End Music)
Ash and Geki saw the Pokémon Center. But unfortunately, they saw Misty, Brock and Pikachu were outside the building. Misty was a twelve-year old girl with green eyes and orange hair with a small side ponytail. She wore a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed there. She wore red & white sneakers with it, and also carried a red drawstring backpack with it. Brock was a boy around fifteen years old and had darker skin, black eyes and brown hair. His eyes appeared to be closed. He wore a green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets. He also carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll.
"Oh no. Those traitors are here too," said Ash. "Is that a bad thing?" asked Geki. "Yes. They might try to stop me from calling the Pokémon League since Erika's got them wrapped around her finger. It's especially a problem with Brock cause he's always smitten by girls his age or older. We got to get them away from the Pokémon Center," said Ash. "How?" asked Geki.
(Insert "French National Anthem")
At that moment, the two saw Pepé Le Pew and Fifi La Fume. They were carrying bags of perfume and colognes they bought from Erika's shop. "Eet wahs nice of zem to sell us ziss perfume ahnd cahlognes fahr free," said Pepé. What really happened was that the girls gave them the perfume and colognes for free cause they didn't want to smell the two skunks' horrid odors. "Weeth zese perfume ahnd cahlognes, I know we'll find our true lahves," said Fifi. "We'll find zem, I cahn guarahntee," said Pepé. He let out a chuckle.

Maybe ze new perfume ees just whaht I need to ahttrahct Peekahchu. Wance he cahmes to me, I'll throw ze Pahké Bahll ahnd cahtch heem. Ahnd we'll be tahgethair fahrevair, thought Fifi. She began to fantasize what she hoped will happen. She imagined Pikachu becoming attracted by the smell of Fifi's lovely perfume. And once he got close enough, Fifi threw the Poké Ball to catch him. After catching Pikachu in the fantasy, she kissed the Poké Ball. "Le sigh," said Fifi happily.
(End Music)
Ash then saw some cans of black and white paint and a couple of squirt bottles of stinky cheese. An evil grin formed on Ash's face as he got an idea. "I have a plan," said Ash.
"Finally, a date with a girl. I know that Erika's the one for me," said Brock. "You sure?" asked Misty. "Pika?" asked Pikachu. "Yes, I'm sure. Erika's my true love," said Brock. Ash and Geki stood on the roof with the black cans of paint. They poured the paint toward the three. The paint drenched Misty, Brock and Pikachu from head to toe with a SPLASH! "Hey!" cried Brock & Misty. "Pika!" cried Pikachu. Immediately after that, Ash and Geki poured the white paint at their backs, forming skunk stripes. Brock and Misty's hair were dyed white by the paint too. And finally, they squirted the stinky cheese at them. They not just looked like skunks, they smelled like skunks too. "What the?!" asked Misty. They looked up and saw Ash and Geki, laughing at them. "Ash!" cried Misty & Brock. "Pika!" cried Pikachu. "That was for siding with that bleep, Erika and not me, you traitors!" said Ash. "Come down from there so I can clobber the both of you!" yelled Misty, shaking her fist. "Not on your life!" said Geki. He and Ash did the red eye taunts. Misty, Brock and Pikachu growled angrily.

A couple of yards away, Pepé and Fifi were walking by when they saw Pikachu, Misty and Brock. Pepé's cheeks blushed pink at the sight of how pretty Misty looked like, thinking she was a skunk. "Ah. A tahll, lahvely skunk fahtale. I hahpe she's seengle," said Pepé. Fifi's eyes turned into pink hearts at the sight of both Brock and Pikachu looking like skunks. "Ooh la la! Mahn petite ahnd keeng sized skunk hunks! Zey're bahth so hahndsahme, I cahn't decide wheech one to choose!" cried Fifi. "Let your heart decide zat, my student," said Pepé. Fifi thought for a moment. "Oh whaht ze heck, I'll peeck ze smahll one. He's clahse to my ahge," said Fifi. Pepé sprayed one of the new colognes he bought earlier. Fifi put on one of the perfumes she bought. Both lovesick skunks then ran toward Pikachu and Misty.
"If you two don't come down this instant, I'll make you come down with my Pokémon!" said Misty. She was about to reach for one of her Poké Balls when Pepé leapt into her arms. "Hey! What gives?!" asked Misty. "Bonjour, chéri. Ze nahme's Pepé Le Pew. Ahnd I must say, you're ze mahst beauteeful skunk I've evair met," said Pepé. "Skunk?!" asked Misty. "Eet's whaht we ahre, yes?" asked Pepé. Misty looked at her back and saw the paint stripe looked like a skunk's and paled. Oh bleep, thought Misty. "You and ze tahll boy skunk ahren't dahteeng ahre you?" asked Pepé. "Uh, no?" asked Misty. "Good," said Pepé. Pepé then began to kiss Misty. Misty's eyes began to water due to Pepé's horrible stench. The cologne wasn't really hiding Pepé's musk.
Suddenly, Fifi La Fume pounced Pikachu, forcing him on his back. Oh no! Not her again! She must think I'm a real skunk too!, thought Pikachu. "Bahnjour, my eclair of ahmahre. I'm Fifi La Fume. Your fahce ees so hahndsahme eet's beggeeng me to keess you!" cried Fifi. The purple skunkette began to kiss Pikachu all over the face. Pikachu began to feel Fifi's stench. That perfume was useless in shielding Fifi's smell. I forgot how stinky she is!, thought Pikachu. Ash and Geki were wearing gas masks due to the two skunks' odor.
Pikachu got an idea to break free of Fifi's grip. He began to tickle Fifi's sides, causing her to laugh hysterically. This caused her to let go of Pikachu. Misty managed to throw Pepé off of her. Misty and Pikachu began to run for it, screaming. Fifi regained her composure. "Zey wahnt to play tahg, no?" asked Pepé. "Guess we're eet," said Fifi. The two skunks began to prance after Misty and Pikachu. Ash and Geki were laughing at Pikachu and Misty's predicament. "At least the girl skunk is chasing Pikachu and not me," said Brock.

(Insert "Hiya, Hot Stuff" from Pokémon)
Unfortunately, he spoke too soon. Without warning, a pink skunk tail wrapped around him. It pulled him toward whom the tail belonged to; Bimbette Skunk Her large bosom pressed against Brock's chest. "Hello, handsome," said Bimbette sweetly. Brock's eyes widened in horror when he saw the skunkette. "I'm Bimbette Skunk. What is your name?" asked the skunkette. "B-b-brock," said Brock nervously. Bimbette's eyes turned into red hearts upon hearing his name. "Brock! Such a handsome name for a handsome skunk!" cried Bimbette.
Bimbette then wrapped her arms around Brock and began to give him a big kiss on his lips. As she kissed him, Bimbette started to give off her unpleasant odor. Her skunk fumes were pink, just like her fur. Brock's eyes started to tear up due to the smell. Ugh! I wanted to save my first kiss with Erika, not with this lovesick skunkette! She stole my first kiss!, thought Brock. Brock broke free of Bimbette's loving grip and ran away screaming. "Wait! Come back!" cried Bimbette. And she ran after Brock, giggling. Ash and Geki were laughing their heads off, but they regained their composure. "Now to take care of Erika," said Ash. "Yes," said Geki.

(Insert "Team Rocket's Secret Strategy" from Pokémon)
Team Rocket had seen what happened too and they were laughing just as hysterically as Ash and Geki were earlier. Back in those days, the shade of magenta of Jessie's hair was more red than dark purple. "That twerp actually made his friends and his Pikachu look like skunks!" cried Meowth. "And I thought we were devious!" cried Jessie. "Come on! Since Pikachu is away from the twerp, that'll make snatching him all the easier," said James. And the three left to try to find Pikachu.
(End Music)
After calling the Pokémon League about the problem, an inspector was sent. The inspector arrived. She was a woman who wore a trench coat & hat as well as sunglasses. "Are you Ash Ketchum and Geki?" asked the Inspector. "Yes," said both Trainers. "I'll make sure to set Erika straight and that you two along with all the other Trainers that Erika banned will finally get the Rainbow Badges that you deserve," said the Inspector. "Thanks," said Ash & Geki. The three then headed for the Celadon City Gym.
Misty managed to put on a trench coat disguise and went into a fancy restaurant. Pikachu was also with her. Both were currently waiting for their order. The waiter arrived, pushing a cart with two dishes that were covered with lids. "Here's your orders," said the waiter. "Thanks," said Misty. "Pika," said Pikachu.
But when the waiter opened the lids, both he along with Pikachu and Misty's eyes widened in horror. For both Fifi La Fume and Pepé Le Pew had been hiding under the lids. "Cahre fahr sahme skunkette ahla Fifi?" asked Fifi seductively. "Weeth a side of Pepé soufflé?" asked Pepé seductively. Pikachu and Misty screamed and began to run for it. But suddenly, Misty ran back to the table and left some money and resumed running. Fifi and Pepé hopped after the two. Since both Pepé and Fifi were giving off their stenches, everybody else began to run away too.
Misty and Pikachu split up during their running. Pikachu ran into the Celadon City Department Store, which was a large shopping mall. He ran until he reached the beds aisle. Pikachu climbed onto one of the beds and rested his head on a fluffy purple & white pillow. "Whew. Lost her," said Pikachu.
(Insert "Alouette")
Unfortunately, he didn't. For the pillow was really Fifi La Fume's large, fluffy tail. She wrapped her tail around Pikachu. "Cahmfortahble?" asked Fifi. Pikachu's eyes widened when he saw Fifi. She then pounced Pikachu and began to kiss Pikachu silly. As Fifi was kissing Pikachu, she heard somebody cough to get her attention.
(End Music)
Fifi saw that it was a department store employee. "This is a bed for display, Ms. Not for making out," said the employee. "Oh. Pahrdahn moi," said Fifi. She giggled an embarrassed giggle before smiling innocently. Pikachu then ran off screaming. "Gaht to go. Au revoir," said Fifi. And she chased after Pikachu again.
Gary Oak along with his cheerleaders happened to be at the Celadon City Department Store so the girls could shop. Gary was carrying all the girls' stuff. Gary was a boy around Ash's age with black eyes and brown hair. He wore a purple shirt, a necklace with a green & yellow yin & yang symbol, black pants and brown boots. "Do you have to make me carry all the stuff?" complained Gary. "Gary, you agreed to help us, didn't you?" asked Cheerleader #1. "So you must do your part," said Cheerleader #2. "Besides, we need a strong guy like you," said Cheerleader #3. At that moment, Pikachu ran into Gary, causing him to stumble and fall. He fell onto the cheerleaders and they got buried in all of the stuff. They emerged from the pile. "What the?" asked Gary & the girls. Then, Fifi started to hop by them. "Wait fahr me, my smelly petite sausahge!" called Fifi. As she hopped by, she was giving off her horrid stench. This caused Gary and the cheerleaders to faint.
Team Rocket were in disguise at the Celadon City Department Store. Meowth was on Jessie's shoulder. "Where can that Pikachu be?" asked Jessie. Pikachu ran by screaming. "There he is!" cried James. "After him!" cried Meowth. But before they could, Fifi hopped by them. "Wait, petite one! I'll be gentle weeth you!" cried Fifi. Her stench caused Jessie and James to pass out. Meowth had no nose so he didn't faint, but clung to Jessie's shoulder. Suddenly, Team Rocket fell off the balcony, with Meowth screaming the Wilhelm Scream. The three landed in a fountain with a SPLASH!
Ash, Geki and the Pokémon League Inspector arrived to the Celadon City Gym. They found Erika in the middle of the Gym's garden. Erika was a woman with blue hair and green eyes. She wore a red headband, a green & white dress with a red bow and a pair of red shoes.
(Insert "Dragnet Theme")
"Erika, you're in big trouble!" said Inspector. Erika's eyes widened when she saw who was here. "The Pokémon League Inspector?! What are you doing here?!" asked Erika. "I just got complaints that you banned Trainers for two years all because they don't like your perfume," said the Inspector. "Come on! It was just a joke! Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh," chuckled Erika nervously. "Well I'm not laughing," said the Inspector. "Busted," sneered Ash. "This behavior stops today, here and now!" said the Inspector. Erika paled, knowing she was in big trouble and she couldn't weasel her way out of it.
(End Music)
Brock decided to hide at the Pokémon Center. He saw Nurse Joy, whose back was turned. "Nurse Joy, you've got to save me!" cried Brock. "What's wrong?" asked Joy. "There's a crazy skunk girl after me and she wants to make me her boyfriend," said Brock. "And what's wrong with that?" asked Joy, turning around. But when she turned around, she wasn't Nurse Joy at all. It was Bimbette Skunk in disguise. She was also wearing red lipstick. Brock gasped. "What have you done with the real Nurse Joy?!" asked Brock. "Nothing. She's on her lunch break," said Bimbette. The pink skunkette pulled Brock behind the counter and the two fell out of view. Bimbette began to kiss Brock all over the face. Brock struggled to break free, but he couldn't.
Then, he remembered how Pikachu broke free of Fifi's grip earlier. He began to tickle Bimbette's sides, causing her to laugh hysterically. This caused her to let go of Brock. Brock then ran for it, covered in red kiss marks. Bimbette regained her composure and saw Brock was gone. "He just wants to do things the hard way," huffed Bimbette.
Misty went to a laundromat and actually put herself in a washing machine to clean herself off. Even after the washing, the paint wouldn't be cleaned off. Even the cheese couldn't come off. Misty groaned in annoyance. "Why'd you run ahway?" asked a voice. Misty turned around and saw Pepé Le Pew. "We could've hahd a rahmahnteec deennair fahr two," said Pepé. Misty screamed and took out her mallet. She clobbered Pepé, flattening him into a pancake. Misty ran off. Pepe re-inflated himself with a bicycle air pump. "She's gaht spunk. I like zat een a geerl," said Pepé.
Brock decided to go to Officer Jenny for help. Jenny was woman with bluish-green hair & brown eyes. She wore a blue & red police officer uniform, a blue hat with a star on it, white gloves, red lipstick and black shoes. "Officer Jenny! Officer Jenny!" cried Brock. "What can I help you wi- AAAUGH! SKUNK!" cried Jenny. "I'm not a skunk! I'm a person!" cried Brock. "Somebody get me animal control!" cried Jenny on an intercom. In an instant, an animal control truck arrive. The animal control officers exited out of the truck and zapped Brock with some cattle prods. After he was stunned, they put him in the back of truck and began to drive off.
Pikachu ran until he saw a photo booth. "She won't think to look for me in there," said Pikachu. He climbed into the booth and sighed with relief. "Sahrry to keep you waiteeng," said Fifi, who was behind Pikachu. Pikachu screamed before Fifi used her tail to cover his mouth. "Just relahx ahnd let Fifi show you how much she lahves you," said Fifi. First, Fifi sprayed her mouth to give herself fresh breath. After that, she put on bright pink lipstick on her lips. Pikachu's eyes widened, knowing what the lipstick was for. "Oh no! Not lipstick! Anything but that!" cried Pikachu. "Whaht's ze mahttair, too mahnly?" teased Fifi. Now that she was all dolled up, Fifi was ready to kiss Pikachu again.
Fifi gave Pikachu a big kiss on his lips. She then began to cover Pikachu in kisses, leaving pink kiss marks. As Fifi kissed Pikachu, photos were being taken of her kissing him. If one were to pass by the photo booth, they would hear some kissing noises as well as panicked squeals along with hard to understand French words. The kissing lasted for a whole two minutes. Fifi prepared to give Pikachu one big final kiss. But Pikachu managed to break free of Fifi's grip and dodged Fifi's lips. Instead, Fifi kissed the camera lenses. Pikachu ran out screaming, with his whole body covered in pink kiss marks. Fifi looked at the photos that were taken of her kissing Pikachu. "I sink zose phahtos gaht my good side," said Fifi. The skunkette then saw the photo of her kissing the lenses, which was an extreme close up of her kissing lips. Fifi cringed at the sight of the photo. "Ugh. I cahn do weethout zat one," said Fifi. She then resumed chasing after Pikachu.
(Insert "Can-Can")
Fifi La Fume chased Pikachu all over the Celadon City Department Store. It seemed that no matter where Pikachu tried to hide, Fifi was waiting for him, ready to kiss him silly. For example, Pikachu ran toward an elevator door that was opening. Unfortunately, Fifi was waiting for him, with puckered pink lips and open arms. Pikachu quickly avoided Fifi using Quick Attack. Fifi crossed her arms in annoyance as the doors closed in front of her. Another time, Pikachu hid in a toy store and ran into the plush toy aisle. But Fifi was waiting for him, posing as a skunk plush toy. She jumped at him to pounce and kiss him. But Pikachu dodged and she fell onto the floor instead. Fifi groaned in annoyance. Team Rocket were having no so luck trying to steal Pikachu either. Every time they tried to get him, Fifi's stench would get in the way. And Fifi didn't even realize that Team Rocket were after her so called "skunk hunk".
(End Music)
Fifi looked around for any sign of Pikachu, still thinking he was a skunk. "Yoo-hoo! Where ahre you petite one? I wahn't bite!" called Fifi. She then turned to a nearby girl with brown hair & eyes and wearing a black dress. "Excuse me, meess? Hahve you by ahny chahnce seen a cute boy skunk run by here?" asked Fifi. "Yes. I have. He went that way. Although, he was being chased by a girl with long red hair, a boy with short blue hair and a talking Meowth," said the girl. "Le gahsp! Zey must wahnt to hurt heem! I hahve to hurry ahnd sahve heem!" cried Fifi. And she ran as fast as she could.
Pikachu ran until he was cornered by Team Rocket. They were wearing rubber gloves to protect themselves from Pikachu's electricity. "It's no use running from us, Pikachu!" said Meowth. "You won't escape us this time!" said Jessie. "Especially since the head twerp won't save you considering you drove him away!" said James. "Oh Ash. I'm sorry I didn't defend you," said Pikachu.
But before Team Rocket could seize Pikachu, the three thieves heard a "Le hyyaaaah!". They turned around just in time to get whacked by Fifi using her tail. They toppled over due to the attack. Fifi then stood in front of Pikachu. "Get ahway frahm my skunk hunk, you scoundrels!" yelled Fifi. "Stay out of this! This doesn't concern you, stinky!" cried Jessie. "When you mess weeth my boy, eet does cwancern me, you weetch!" retorted Fifi. Being called a witch made Jessie mad. "How dare you! Ekans, get rid of this pest!" yelled Jessie as she threw a Poké Ball. "Koffing, go!" said James, throwing a Poké Ball of his own. Ekans and Koffing were summoned. Ekans was a snake-like Pokémon with purple and yellow coloring. Its underside leading to its tail was yellow, and it had a yellow rattle at the tip of its tail. Ekans had large, yellow eyes with slit, reptilian pupils. Across its neck was a large, yellow band. Koffing was a Pokémon whose body was purple and spherical with a skull and crossbones on the lower parts of its body. It had openings that allow gases to escape. "Ekansssss!" hissed Ekans. "Koffing!" said Koffing.
(Insert "Silly Psyduck" from Pokémon)
Fifi responded by letting off her stench. Ekans and Koffing's eyes widened when they smelled Fifi's odor. "Eeeeeeeewwwww!" screamed both Poison-type Pokémon. Fifi then grabbed Ekans and swung her to whack Koffing like a baseball. Koffing was sent flying back toward James and bonked him on the head. James had a goose egg that was the size of a baseball on his head. After that, Fifi threw Ekans into Jessie, causing the female thief to topple over.
"GGGGGGRRRRRRRR! Must we do everything ourselves?!" asked Jessie. Team Rocket charged at Fifi. Fifi unleashed a powerful stench cloud, which caused the thieves to cough. Fifi then began to attack them viciously, one by one. The enraged skunkette began to rip Jessie's hair off with her bare hands until she was nearly bald. "My hair!" cried Jessie. She growled angrily at Fifi. "I'll tear you apart!" yelled Jessie. She charged at Fifi, but she was so blind with rage she didn't keep a good look out. Fifi easily dodged Jessie and she crashed into the wall, real hard. This blow stunned Jessie for the rest of the battle. Fifi then began to strangle James with her long tail. James gasped for air as his face turned purple. Next, Fifi slapped James silly until his cheeks were all red. Fifi then kicked James, sending him crashing into Jessie, Ekans and Koffing.
"I'll show you!" cried Meowth. He charged at Fifi and tried to scratch her. However, Fifi was too quick for him and kept dodging him. "Hold still!" cried Meowth. What Fifi did next was really nasty. She used her tail to whack Meowth, right in the crotch, real hard. Pikachu cringed at the sight of the blow to Meowth's groin. Meowth let out a high pitched groan before he clutched his crotch, cursing nonsense profanity. Fifi then delivered an uppercut punch on Meowth, knocking out his teeth and sending him crashing into his partners.
With all her strength, Fifi La Fume grabbed Jessie, James, Meowth, Ekans and Koffing and lifted them into the air. The purple skunkette then threw the five at a big window. The five crashed through the window, breaking it. The five screamed as they fell and landed in some freshly poured quick drying cement with a loud SPLAT! Team Rocket and their Pokémon were covered from head to toe in sticky cement. The five got angry and tried to run back into the Celadon City Department Store. But as soon as they tried to run, the cement instantly hardened and Team Rocket and their Pokémon were solidified into living statues. The only thing they could move was their eyes.

"Ahnd dahn't try to mess weeth my skunk hunk ahgain!" called Fifi. She turned to Ash's Pikachu and began to embrace him. "Dahn't wahrry, mahn ahmahre. Ze bahd people hahve been dealt weeth. You're sahfe ahnd sound," said Fifi. She prepared to kiss Pikachu, but he broke free and fled. "Ziss one likes to tease," said Fifi.
(Insert "Celadon Game Corner" from Pokémon)
Misty was still trying to evade Pepé Le Pew in the part of the city she was at. She decided to hide at the Celadon City Game Corner, an arcade and casino in one. She once again put on a trench coat disguise and went to one of the slot machines in order to pose as a visitor. Just then, she heard a voice next to her. "I've heet how you say, ze jahckpaht!" said the voice. Misty slowly turned her eyes to the left and saw that Pepé was standing at the slot machine next to her's. Misty shrieked like a banshee and began to make a run for it. "Hahve I said sahmetheeng wrahng?" asked Pepé. He then began to prance after Misty again.
(End Music)
Pikachu finally decided to hide in a dressing room in a clothes section. He panted to catch his breath. His body was still covered in kiss marks from the various times Fifi kissed him. "Zere you ahre, cutie," said a familiar voice. Pikachu turned around and saw Fifi La Fume was behind him, wearing a sparkly red dress with a scoop neckline. In addition, she wore a gold bracelet on her left arm and wore a red bow in her hair instead of her usual pink bow. She was also wearing ruby red lipstick. Pikachu screamed like a sheep. "You like my dress?" asked Fifi, doing a curtsey. Pikachu tried to speak, but he couldn't. "I see zat I left you speechless," said Fifi. She began to walk toward Pikachu. The purple skunkette puckered her ruby red lips, ready to kiss Pikachu once again. Suddenly, in his defense, Pikachu let out a Thunderbolt attack. "Pikachuuuuuuuuuu!" cried Pikachu. Fifi screamed as she was zapped silly. Pikachu then ran out of the dressing room. Fifi's hair and fur were spiked up once again. Her dress was also burned in the zapping. "Ahnd ziss wahs a new dress too," fumed Fifi.
Brock started to regain his senses. He woke up to find Bimbette Skunk staring at him. Brock screamed at the sight of her. "Wake up, sleepy head," said Bimbette sweetly. "How'd you get in here?!" asked Brock. "Doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm with you, Brocko," said Bimbette. The pink skunkette began to kiss Brock silly once again. As she kissed him, Bimbette began to give off her horrid stench once again. Brock's eyes watered due to the skunk fumes. The fumes also started to melt the van into green goo. The van then completely melted along with the cages containing the various animals. "Darn skunks!" cried the driver. Brock broke free of Bimbette's embrace and ran off. "This is getting annoying," huffed Bimbette.
Pikachu, Brock and Misty met back up at the Celadon City Park. "Why is this happening to us?! What did we do to deserve all the humiliation those skunks put us through? My first kiss, which I was saving for Erika, was stolen by that pink skunkette that was chasing me!" lamented Brock. "I'll tell you why this is happening! We're being punished for not helping Ash from getting banned from the Celadon City Gym! And for that, he's not helping us," said Pikachu. "No! He's the villain in this situation, not us! He refuses to take his punishment like a man and threw paint and cheese at us out of spite!" said Misty. "Listen to me, Misty! Because we didn't help Ash, I was almost captured by Team Rocket cause he wasn't there to save me. I only escaped cause Fifi came to my aid and beat up Team Rocket! So we have to apologize to Ash or we may end up in a situation like what nearly happened to me. He may not come to our rescue if we end up in trouble again," said Pikachu. "I won't apologize! When I get my hands on him, I'm going to kill him! Then I'm going to clone him and kill his clones! And then I'm going to . . . ," ranted Misty.
"You'll do what now?" asked an angry voice. It was Ash Ketchum. "You! I'll teach you not to make me look like a skunk!" cried Misty. She tried to punch Ash, but the Pokémon League Inspector came to Ash's defense and blocked Misty's fist. Geki as well as Erika were present too. "You will do nothing!" said the Inspector. "Who do you think you are?!" asked Misty. "I am the Pokémon League Inspector," said the Inspector. Misty and Brock gasped in horror when they heard this.
"Please, Mrs. We can explain . . . ," said Brock. "Don't try to charm your way out. Ash told me everything. He told me about how Erika banned him from the Celadon City Gym all because he didn't like her perfume and how you two along with Pikachu did nothing to stand up for him. You're supposed to be his friends. True friends stand up for each other," said the Inspector. "But Erika wouldn't let me date if I defended Ash," said Brock. "That's no excuse. What you three did was bad. Luckily, Ash along with this Trainer called me and punished Erika for her crimes," said Inspector. "What did you do?" asked Misty. "As punishment for constantly banning Trainers for petty reasons for two years, I suspended her Gym Leader license for a couple of years and her perfume shop has been closed til further notice," said the Inspector. Misty and Brock gasped in horror. "You're lying!" said Brock. He turned to Erika. "Erika, please tell me she's lying!" said Brock. Erika shook her head. "It's true. I'm suspended from my duties as a Gym Leader and my perfume shop's been closed for a set amount of years," said Erika sadly. Brock gasped, hearing that it was indeed true. Erika then walked away crying. "Erika, wait! What about our date?!" cried Brock. "Bleep our date! My life is falling apart because of my intolerance!" cried Erika. And she left the park.
"And, Ash and Geki have been given their Rainbow Badges. And I will give every Trainer who's been unfairly banned their badges too," said the Inspector. Ash and Geki held out their Rainbow Badges to show them. Each Rainbow Badge was shaped like a flower with rainbow colored petals. Hearing this made Brock very angry. "You little tattletales! I'll teach you not to mess with my girl!" cried Brock. He charged at Ash and Geki to try to attack them. But the Pokémon League Inspector punched Brock in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. Brock wheezed and clutched his gut. "Don't try to attack Ash or Geki. They did the right thing calling me," said the Inspector. "Right thing?! Erika's life is ruined because of those snitches!" cried Misty. "If Ash and Geki hadn't called me, Pokémon Trainers would continue to be denied of their dreams because of Erika's unjust attitude. And Erika is the one who's giving Gym Leaders a bad name along with you two. Don't try to do anything bad to Ash or Geki or you'll get a punishment for worse than getting mistaken as skunks," said the Inspector.
"You three owe me an apology," said Ash. "I won't after what you did to Erika! Because of you Ash, Erika won't date me! And worst of all, my first kiss, which was meant for Erika was stolen by that pink skunkette!" said Brock. "I for one agree with Brock! You don't deserve an apolo . . . ," said Misty. Suddenly, Pikachu zapped Misty and Brock. "We have to apologize! Did you not even listen when I said that I was almost captured by Team Rocket because I drove away Ash?!" asked Pikachu. "Pikachu's right. If you don't apologize, Misty and Brock, your Gyms will be blacklisted!" said the Inspector. "You wouldn't!" cried Misty & Brock. "Oh yes I would," said the Inspector, taking a list of Gyms that she blacklisted. She prepared to blacklist both the Pewter City and Cerulean City Gyms. Misty and Brock screamed to show that they admit defeat. "Okay, okay, okay! We're sorry!" cried Misty & Brock. "I'm sorry too, Ash. It won't happen again," said Pikachu. "It better not, you idiots!" said Ash. Misty was about to retaliate against Ash for calling her an idiot, but Brock covered her mouth and shook his head.

Just then, everybody heard the voices of Pepé Le Pew, Fifi La Fume and Bimbette Skunk. "Where ahre you, my dahrleeng? I ahm lookeeng fahr you," called Pepé. "Cahme out, cahme out, wherevair you ahre!" called Fifi. "Oh Brocko! You know you can't hide forever!" said Bimbette. Brock, Misty and Pikachu froze when they heard the voices of the three skunks. The three then came into view. Fifi was once again wearing pink lipstick. "Zere you ahre, dahrleeng," said Pepé. "Zat wahs very naughty, runneeng off like zat! Eef you do zat ahgain, I might 'ahve to spahnk you!" said Fifi mischievously. "No way I'm letting you run away on me again," said Bimbette.

Ash turned to Geki. "Should we?" asked Ash. "I think they've suffered enough for today," said Geki. Ash stepped forwards. "Pepé, girls, the truth, these three are not actually skunks," said Ash. "No?" asked Pepé. "The truth is, they're my friends, painted to look like skunks cause I wanted to teach them a lesson for not siding me with me in an argument," said Ash. He, Geki and the Pokémon League Inspector got out some paint thinner and used it to clean Misty. "You see, Misty's is just a human girl," said Ash. Pepé's face began to turn red in embarrassment. "Sahcrebleu! I feel like a fool," said Pepé. He began to bang his head against a wall. Ash, Geki and the Inspector cleaned off Brock. "And Brock, is really a human too," said Geki. Bimbette blushed in embarrassment as well. "I am so sorry!" said Bimbette. "Don't be. Brock deserved what you put him through," said Geki. "Eef you ahre naht a skunk, whaht ahre you?" asked Fifi, starting to tear up. Ash cleaned off Pikachu. "He's just a Pikachu," said Ash.

But Fifi's tears of sadness turned into tears of joy the instant she saw Pikachu. The purple skunkette let out a scream of happiness and she tackled Pikachu. The next thing Pikachu knew, Fifi had him in a bone crushing hug. "EET'S YOU! EET'S REALLY YOU!" cried Fifi excitedly. Pikachu groaned in pain due to how strong Fifi's hug was. "Le happy sob!" cried Fifi as she continued to hug Pikachu. Pepé stopped banging his head against the wall and noticed Fifi hugging Pikachu to death. Ash was confused by this. "This skunkette knows my Pikachu?" asked Ash. "Wee. My student wahs wance sahved by zat Peekahchu. Zat's why she likes heem," said Pepé.
"I searched everywhere fahr you! I finahlly found you aht lahst!" cried Fifi. "Wait a minute! I don't even know you!" said Pikachu, trying to fib his way out. "Dahn't try to fool me. I know zat eet's you cause your breath smells like ketchup," said Fifi. "Doh!" said Pikachu. Fifi puckered her lovely pink lips, ready to kiss Pikachu. Pikachu's eyes widened in horror. He tried to break free, but her grip was too strong. Fifi kissed Pikachu all over the face, covering his face in her lipstick once again. Fifi then began to gently rub cheeks with Pikachu. "Will you mahrry me?" asked Fifi, sweetly. Upon hearing the M word, Pikachu screamed like a sissy girl and broke free of Fifi's grip. The skunkette then ran after Pikachu, laughing uncontrollably, with red hearts for eyes. Fifi chased Pikachu around a nearby fountain. Ash was trying hard not to laugh.

Just then, Fifi remembered the Poké Ball that Shirley gave her. Fifi turned her bow backwards just like how Ash turns his hat as she took out the Poké Ball. "Pahké bahll, GO!" cried Fifi as she threw the ball. Everybody gasped when they saw Fifi threw the ball. But Ash remained calm.

When the Poké Ball hit Pikachu, some sort of mini forcefield formed around Pikachu and the ball bounced off. Fifi gasped when she saw what happened. The ball rolled back toward Fifi. "I dahn't understahnd. Eet should've caught heem," said Fifi. "It would've, if he didn't already have a Trainer," said Ash. "Whaht?" asked Fifi. "He's my Pikachu. And technically what you tried to do would be stealing," said Ash. "Oh. I'm so sahrry. Le sigh. Ahlahne ahgain. My dreams of a future weeth Peekahchu, shahttered by a techneecahleety. Le boo. Le boo hoo hoo," said Fifi, with tears in her eyes. She began to walk away sadly. Ash felt sorry for Fifi. "Poor girl. Was I too harsh on her?" asked Ash. "No. Ahll you deed wahs tell hair ze truth. Ahnd sahmetimes, ze truth hurts. Fifi, wait up," said Pepé. And he began to walk after Fifi.
Team Rocket happened to hiding in the bushes. "Now's the time to snatch Pikachu!" cried James. Team Rocket then jumped out of the bushes. "Now we got you!" cried Team Rocket. But Pikachu dodged them and Team Rocket fell into the puddle of the paint and cheese that was washed off. This caused the three stupid villains to be painted like skunks. The skunks didn't witness this. Just then, Ash got an idea. "Hey, Pepé, girls! I see a girl skunk and two boy skunks!" called Ash.

Pepé, Fifi and Bimbette saw Team Rocket. Pepé and Fifi's eyes turned into pink hearts, while Bimbette's eyes turned into red hearts. "OOH LA LA!" cried Pepé and Fifi. Bimbette let out a scream of excitement. The three skunks ran toward Team Rocket. Pepé clung onto Jessie, Bimbette hugged James and Fifi embraced Meowth. All three skunks began to kiss Team Rocket silly. Jessie and James felt Pepé and Bimbette's smelly odors. Meowth couldn't smell Fifi's odor, but he was scared by Fifi's aggressive kissing. And just like Pikachu, his face was getting covered in pink marks. Team Rocket screamed and broke free of the skunks' grip. They began to run for it, with the three skunks in hot pursuit. "Look's like Team Rocket's stinking out again!" cried Team Rocket. Ash, Pikachu, Geki and even the Pokémon League Inspector were laughing their heads off due to what happened to the Team Rocket trio.

This was a fun chapter to write since it gave me the chance to have Misty, Brock and Pikachu punished for not standing up for Ash and to punish Erika for treating Ash badly to begin with. I was originally going to call the other Trainer that helps Ash get Erika into trouble, Takeshi. But I remembered that Takeshi was also the Japanese name for Brock and decided to change it. The photo booth scene and Fifi beating up Team Rocket were my favorite scenes to write. Erika will show up in a later story, which shows that she's trying to make amends with everybody she unfairly banned from her Gym. But anyway, next chapter will show Pikachu finally getting the courage to speak to Fifi.
