Chapter 12: Bimbette Skunk
Elsewhere, Serena, Pikachu and Bonnie finally found a dress shop that looked perfect for finding Fifi's new dress. "So, what does the dress look like?" asked Serena. "It's supposed to sparkling red and it has a scoop neckline," said Pikachu. Bonnie then spotted a dress similar to it. "Is that it?" asked Bonnie. "Yes. That's it," said Pikachu.
Not to far from where Serena, Pikachu and Bonnie were shopping, Bimbette Skunk was doing some shopping too. The pink skunkette was humming to herself as she walked around the shop. Just then, she overheard Serena speaking as she was paying for Fifi's new dress. "Thanks," said Serena. "Pika," said Pikachu. "Come on. Let's go meet up with Ash," said Serena. Upon hearing Ash's name, she realized that the Pikachu that was with Serena and Bonnie was Ash's. Bimbette's eyes turned into red hearts upon laying eyes on Pikachu. She also let out a happy squeal. "I knew he would come back to me!" cried Bimbette. She then began to run toward Pikachu and the group, with her legs looking like a spinning blur.
Pikachu didn't notice Bimbette until she seized him in her loving grip. The next thing Pikachu knew, he was getting a big hug from her. "Oh Pikachu! I missed you so much! I knew that you'd, like, come back to see little ol' me!" cried Bimbette. Bimbette then began to plant kisses all over Pikachu's face. The electric mouse was getting covered in magenta kiss marks from Bimbette's kisses. Just like Fifi, Bimbette's stench started to go off due to being in love. Pikachu groaned due to Bimbette's odor. Serena and Bonnie also held their noses. "Who are you?" asked Serena. "Oh, how rude of me. I should introduce myself to those who don't know me. My name is Bimbette Skunk. I met Pikachu when I was, like, taking a vacation in the Sinnoh Region," said Bimbette. "Although, we met cause she thought I was a skunk. I only disguised myself as one to scare off this Buneary that had a crush on me and I didn't want to do anything with her," said Pikachu.
Two Years Ago . . .
During Ash's time in the Sinnoh Region, Ash was traveling with Brock and three other companions named Sorrel, Verity and Dawn. On the day Pikachu fully met Bimbette, Dawn was trying to catch a Buneary. Buneary was a small, bipedal, rabbit-like Pokémon with brown ears that can curl up. It had two types of fur covering its body: a light tan fleece that covered much of its lower body, feet, and the tips of its ears, and a smooth chocolate colored pelt on the upper half of its body. It had a small, triangular pink nose, pink paw pads on the undersides of its feet, and small tan spots above its eyes. It had a small brown puff of a tail. It was commonly depicted with one ear curled up.
During the capture attempt, Buneary froze Ash & co. and kidnapped Pikachu. Pikachu managed to escape and was hiding from Buneary. "There's got to be a way for me to shake off that Buneary and get back to Ash and the others," said Pikachu. Pikachu then spotted some cans of black and white paint as well as some smelly cheeses. Hmm. I could paint myself as a skunk to scare him off. But there's the risk of attracting Fifi La Fume, considering she has a huge crush on me. But if I don't do something, Buneary won't leave me alone, thought Pikachu.
"Where are you, Pikachu?" asked Buneary. At that moment, Buneary heard some rustling in the bushes. "Found you!" said Buneary. She then ran toward the bushes and grabbed at whatever was in the bushes. It was Pikachu, but he painted himself to look like a skunk. Buneary's eyes widened when she saw what apparently was a skunk. "SKUNK!" screamed Buneary. She dropped Pikachu and ran off to get away from him. Pikachu laughed due to the female bunny getting fooled easily. "That'll scare off that wascawy wabbit. Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh. Did I just say wascawy wabbit? Anyway, I better get back to Ash and his friends before I get spotted by a girl skunk," said Pikachu.

But it was already too late. Suddenly, Pikachu got picked up by a girl and she hugged him. It was Bimbette Skunk, thinking he was a handsome, boy skunk. Her cheeks blushed red as a sign of her love sickness. "Hello there. You're like, the cutest boy skunk I've ever laid eyes on," said Bimbette sweetly. Pikachu's eyes widened when he saw her. Oh no! It's that pink skunk that chased after Brock in Celadon City, thought Pikachu. "I'm Bimbette. What's your name?" asked Bimbette. Pikachu tried to speak, but he couldn't due to how overwhelmingly beautiful the pink skunk was. "I see you're speechless. It's like, not everyday that you see a beautiful skunk such as myself," said Bimbette. She then began to kiss Pikachu all over the face. As Bimbette kissed Pikachu, her tail began to let off her pink skunk fumes. Pikachu smelled Bimbette's stench and squealed in disgust. He tried to break free of Bimbette's loving grip, but she was too strong. "Come on, my new boyfriend. Let's get back to the campsite I set up," said Bimbette. She began to walk away, carrying Pikachu. Pikachu struggled to break free, but it was useless.
Bimbette brought Pikachu back to her campsite. Currently, she had her tail wrapped around Pikachu while she brushed her hair. "I'm glad that I ran into you. In the past few years, I've been trying to get a date with this famous movie star named Johnny Pew. But I haven't seen him ever since I met him at this movie theater. Come to think of it, like, nobody in Acme Acres hasn't seen him since that day. Some say that he just disappeared. Vanished. Gone underground. But like, I think there's more to it. I did try to date other boy skunks, but they keep running away from me for some reason," said Bimbette. She had no idea some of the boy skunks she wanted to date were not skunks at all. I got to get this paint off and show Bimbette that I'm not a skunk. But how do I do it?, thought Pikachu. Then, he remembered that when Bimbette was carrying him, they passed by a lake. He finally got an idea.

"Excuse me, Bimbette?" asked Pikachu. "Yes?" asked Bimbette sweetly. "I saw that we passed by a lake. Is it possible that we can go for a swim?" asked Pikachu. "Why sure. I just need to change into my bikini," said Bimbette. She went into her tent to change into swimsuit. Pikachu waited for her to come out. A few minutes later, Bimbette emerged from her tent, all dressed in her bikini, which was red and was a two piece bikini. Pikachu's face blushed pink at the sight of Bimbette in her bikini. "I can tell by your blushing that you like me swimsuit," said Bimbette. She fluttered her eyelashes at Pikachu. The pink skunkette then picked up Pikachu and began to hug him. Pikachu's blushing went nuclear due to being near Bimbette. "Come on, my skunk sweetheart. Let's go swimming," said Bimbette.
Very soon, Bimbette and Pikachu arrived to the lake. The first to go into the lake was Bimbette. "Come on in, sweetie. The water's fine," said Bimbette. She did the come here gesture as well making some kissing noises. Pikachu gulped nervously since this was the moment that he was going to try to wash the paint off. He was also worried about what Bimbette's reaction would be when she sees who he really was. Pikachu went into the lake slowly. As Pikachu swam toward Bimbette, the paint was starting to wash off. "It's working," said Pikachu quietly. Bimbette noticed the yellow that was on Pikachu. "Huh? Hey, is there something wrong with you?" asked Bimbette. "What do you mean?" asked Pikachu, pretending to not notice. "You're starting to become dirty with some yellow substance for some reason. Good thing we went to the lake. You need a bath," said Bimbette. Bimbette then pulled a soap bar and she began to rub it on Pikachu. This in turn was washing the black and white paint off of Pikachu.
When Bimbette finished scrubbing Pikachu, she saw that the black and white paint was off. She yelped. "What happened to you?! Did I just make you more dirty?!" asked Bimbette. "Bimbette, I'm not really a skunk. I'm really a Pikachu. I know what you're thinking! You're mad at me for deceiving you! I just disguised myself a skunk to scare off a Buneary that had a crush on me, but showed no interest in her! And I'm sorry," said Pikachu.

Pikachu waited for some sort of mad or sad reaction from Bimbette. But the opposite happened. Bimbette's eyes turned into red hearts due to how cute and handsome Pikachu was. Bimbette let out a happy shriek. "You're the most adorable boy I've ever laid eyes on!" cried Bimbette. Pikachu's eyes widened in horror when he realized that she was falling in love with him even more due to his true form. She began to hug Pikachu again. "Oh no! I just made things worse!" said Pikachu to himself. "I always wanted a Pikachu as a boyfriend!" cried Bimbette. She put on magenta lipstick on her lips. Why do girls always have to put on lipstick when they're going to kiss me?, thought Pikachu. Bimbette kissed Pikachu all over the face once again. Her stench went off again as she kissed him. It was not just stinking out Pikachu, but the Water Pokémon that lived in the lake too. They fled out of the water to get away from Bimbette. But some just passed out or even died from Bimbette's stink. After the kissing was done, Pikachu's face was covered in magenta kiss marks. "Gross! Ugh!" cried Pikachu. Bimbette just giggled due to Pikachu's reaction.

"What's the matter? Can't take a kiss or two from little ol' me? You'll get used to it soon. I'm definitely taking you home to Acme Acres once my camping trip is over," said Bimbette. She continued kissing Pikachu until Pikachu pushed her lips away from him. "Lady, please! Please! I can't come home with you 'cause I already have a Pokémon Trainer!" cried Pikachu. Bimbette's smile faded. "But if you have a Trainer, where is he or she?" asked Bimbette. "That Buneary I mentioned I was trying to scare away, she froze my Trainer and his friends and kidnapped me," said Pikachu. "Oh dear. He must be worried sick about you if he's defrosted by now!" said Bimbette. Even though Bimbette was a rich girl, she wasn't completely heartless. "You bet he is. We must find him," said Pikachu.
Bimbette Skunk and Pikachu searched for Ash through the woods until they heard a commotion going on. By now, Bimbette cleaned Pikachu's face of the lipstick marks. They hid in the bushes and saw that Ash and co. were being attacked by Team Rocket in another of their robots. It was a purple mecha called the Robotic Rabble Rowser Mark 3. For his Sinnoh travels, Ash wore a black jacket with a white curve on the front. The outfit also had a white undershirt, a red & black hat with a blue symbol and red & black sneakers. He also wore black fingerless gloves with yellow-green cuffs. The backpack was green with two pockets, and had a white Poké Ball design with a red "button". Dawn was a girl with dark blue hair and blue eyes. She wore a black V-neck tank top with a white undershirt and a pink skirt. On her head, she wore a white beanie with a pink Pokéball print on it. She also wore gold hair clips that held up her hair in front. On her feet, she wore pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also had a small yellow backpack with all her personal belongings and a pink scarf. With her was her Piplup. Piplup was a light-blue penguin-like Pokémon, which was covered in thick down to insulate against the cold. It had a dark blue head with a primarily white face and a short, yellow beak. The dark blue feathers on its head extended down its back and around its neck, which caused it to appear to be wearing a cape. There were two white ovals on its chest and a small, light-blue marking resembles a crown above its beak. It had flipper-like arms and yellow feet with three toes each. It was male.
Verity was a girl with fair skin, brown eyes, black triangular eyebrows, and brown hair. Her hair had a ponytail at the top. She wore a blue t-shirt with a black semi-circle on it, white shorts over black and blue leggings, pink shoes with black straps, white bows and soles, and a white backpack with one strap tied in a knot. Sorrel was a boy with fair skin, gray eyes, and mid-length green hair with bangs. He wore a white short-sleeved dress shirt over a green long-sleeved undershirt, black trousers, black shoes with green soles, and a green backpack with connected straps. The attire that Brock were during his Sinnoh journey consisted of a green collared shirt, an orange vest with brown trim, khaki pants with knee stitching, and blue high-top sneakers. He wore a new blue backpack, but it didn't have a bedroll like his Kanto one. Team Rocket had Buneary captive in their mecha. In one of the mecha's hands, it held Ash and his friends.
"We're going to ask you one more time. Where is Pikachu?!" asked Jessie. "I don't have him! You want to know where he is! Ask Buneary! Meowth can understand Pokémon, so use him to ask Buneary! But I doubt even she knows where she is!" said Ash. "Fine. I will," said Meowth. He turned to Buneary. "Alright, Buneary! You last saw Pikachu. Now where he is?!" asked Meowth. "I don't know. He ran away from me," said Buneary. "GGGGGRRRRRRR! You're all useless! We'll find himself ourselves once we dispose of you twerps!" said Meowth. Bimbette realized they were going to kill Ash and his friends. Bimbette turned to Pikachu. "Stay here," said Bimbette. She then ran out of the bushes to confront Team Rocket.
"Hey you! Like, leave those kids alone!" said Bimbette. "Who are you?" asked James. "How's about I show what I am!" said Bimbette. She turned her back and began to release her horrible stench at its full power. The stench began to leak into Team Rocket's Robotic Rabble Rowser Mark 3. Jessie and James' eyes widened when they felt Bimbette's odor. "SKUNK!" cried Jessie & James. Meowth then noticed that the robot was starting to melt. "AAAAAUGH! She's melting our machine!" cried Meowth. The robot's hand melted enough for Ash and his friends to escape. Buneary was able to escape too cause the glass was melting too. The Robotic Rabble Rowser Mark 3 then melted completely into a puddle of goo. Buneary then froze the goo and Team Rocket were trapped in the frozen goo. "I hate machines and skunks!" cried Jessie.
Afterwards, Team Rocket were arrested by Officer Jenny. When Bimbette saw Brock, she turned away from him. "Oh, it's you, Brock," said Bimbette. "You still mad at Brock for wasting your time, thinking he was a skunk?" asked Ash. "No. I'm mad at him cause we had a later encounter. He blamed me for setting the chain of events that caused his Trainer license to revoked for a while when he claimed I 'stole' the kiss he was saving for some other girl. Those untrue things he said hurt my feelings. But those things that happened to him was his own bleep fault. Hmph," said Bimbette. It must've happened after our falling out, thought Ash. "Come on. We still have to find Pikachu," said Ash. "Actually, he's closer than you may think," said Bimbette. She turned to the bushes. "You can come out now, Pikachu," said Bimbette. Pikachu emerged from the bushes. "Pika," said Pikachu. Ash ran to Pikachu and hugged him. "Pikachu, I was worried sick about you! But I'm glad you're okay!" said Ash.
Ash turned to Bimbette. "How did you find him?" asked Ash. "I met him cause he was painted like a skunk to try to scare off that Buneary over there. But when I saw what he really was, I realized he's cuter in his true form," said Bimbette. Buneary fell to the ground, realizing she was suckered. Bimbette turned to Pikachu. "You sure you don't want to be my boyfriend?" asked Bimbette. "I have had my fill with girl skunks trying to flirt with me. Besides, Ash needs me for the Sinnoh League," said Pikachu. "Your loss. But if you change your mind, I'll be waiting at Acme Acres," said Bimbette. She then gave Pikachu a goodbye kiss on the cheek, leaving a magenta kiss mark. The kiss caused Pikachu to blush. Bimbette then walked away, swaying her hips seductively.
Present Time . . .
"I knew you couldn't, like, stay away from me, Pikachu, cutie. And now I have you in my arms again," said Bimbette. She gave Pikachu a really big kiss on his cheek. "Will you go out to dinner with me, tonight, please?" asked Bimbette. Suddenly, Serena snatched Pikachu from Bimbette. "Um, Pikachu already has a date," said Serena. "What?" asked Bimbette. She turned to Pikachu. "Now who would you want to go out with more than me?" asked Bimbette. "The girl I already asked out was Fifi La Fume," said Pikachu. "What?! Why would you want to go out with that loser? I'm the prettier skunk here. I have the better curves and the more kissable lips. My pink fur is more beautiful than her purple fur," said Bimbette.
Just then, Bonnie became excited at the sight of Bimbette. "You're perfect!" said Bonnie. "I knew you'd agree with me. I am the one who's more perfect for Pika . . . ," said Bimbette. "That's not what I mean!" interrupted Bonnie. "What do you mean?" asked Bimbette, raising an eyebrow. "You're the perfect girl to take care of my big brother. Please take care of him," said Bonnie. Bimbette stared at Bonnie. "I'm asking you to become my brother, Clemont's wife. This is his picture," said Bonnie, showing a photo of Clemont. Bimbette was silent for about thirty seconds.
But the silence was broken when Bimbette Skunk burst out laughing. "Now what gave you the silly idea that I would want to marry your brother?" asked Bimbette. "I heard Dizzy Devil once went out to the prom with a human girl named Mitzi. So I figured the same could spark could be found between you and my brother," said Bonnie. Bimbette began to laugh even harder. "I don't date nerds!" said Bimbette. She continued laughing. Other people started to laugh at Bonnie too. Bonnie's face turned red as a cherry in embarrassment. "Come on, Bonnie. You've caused us enough embarrassment for one day," said Bonnie. "Pika," said Pikachu. Pikachu, Serena and Bonnie began to walk away, with the people laughing at Bonnie. Bimbette then regained her composure and noticed Pikachu was gone. "Aww nuts," fumed Bimbette.
Now you readers know why Bimbette Skunk has her eye on Pikachu too. And Bonnie's becoming so desperate to find a wife for Clemont that she even asked the pink skunkette, only to get extremely embarrassed. Next chapter, Clemont's solution to help Pikachu build a resistance to Fifi's stink is put to the test . . .
