C. Cowboy: here we go again. If you think I've been going easy on Crystal and Misty (and Ash) in the past few chaps, you might like this one. The Doubles Tournament will take place in this one, whatever Fate did to Pikachu will begin to take effect, and that sorry Sonnavagun will do something to hurt Ash even more. And no, he doesn't do anything to Misty, yet.
Ash waltzed into his and Gary's room. He and Gary relunctently agreed to share a room. On one side was Mrs. Ketchum and Prof. Ivy's room, and on the other was Melody, Misty, and Crystal's room (Take special note of that). Ash looked around and found a note from Gary,
ASHY BOY,
Gone to eat
with Jessie and James, they don't seem that bad
And they have a lot of dirt on you. Heh, heh,
heh. Be back in a
Few
hours.
Your
hero,
Gary
Oak
"Good! I'll get time to fall asleep before Gary starts to pick on me!" Ash said as he jumped on his bed. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the silence when he heard the familiar, sweet, lovely voice of his darling Misty, "YOU SORRY BITCH!!!!"
Then he saw the wall above his head give way and a large chunk of it fall on top of him along with two bodies rolling on top of it. They rolled completely over him and then on to the floor. Misty had Crystal in a strangle hold while she was tugging on Misty's ponytail. Crystal finally let go of the hair and grabbed both sides of Misty's head and threw her over her shoulder. "He's MY BOYFRIEND, so it should be ME teaming with him in the doubles tournament!!!" Crystal screamed at Misty. Then Misty tackled the annoying blond, "WHAT PART OF 'HE'S MY BOYFRIEND' DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?" Misty yelled as she punched Crystal right in the face. Crystal stepped back in recoil and the returned with a kick the gut. "That's it, it's on now!" they said in unison as they both drew their mallets. They faced each other, holding their Mallets like samurai swords. They both swung at each other and the mallets hit with a great impact, knocking Crystals out of her hand. It went fling through the air just as Ash set up from the rubble and hit him square between the eyes. Ash then rose back up and glared at the two now frighten girls. Misty and Crystal stared at Ash's extremely unhappy face, "Um… hay… Ash, you alright?" Misty asked, but Ash just glared at them. "You OK, Ashwy?" Crystal asked more then a little afraid. "GET… OUT… GET… OUT… NOW…" Ash growled as he began to throw pieces of wall fragments at the two. They both shrieked and ran out the door. Ash fell back and closed his eyes with a smile on his face.
A few hours later, the door came open and Ash beamed a wall fragment at whoever disturbed his rest. "Easy Ashy Boy, It's me!" Gary said with his hands in the air. "Sorry. Ruff night." Gary then looked at the hole in the wall just above HIS bed. He started to ask what happened when he saw Melody through the large hole, wearing her silky nightgown and her hair down, which caused him to lose all train of thought. Ash got up and walked over to Gary. He waved his hand in front of his face, "Hello? You in there, Gary?" Gary stared for a second before mumbling, "damn… she's… hot…" Ash then turned to follow his stare to see what or who he was looking at. "Oh, I get it, you've got a crush on Melody!" Gary then shook it off with a bright red face, "I DO NOT!!" He then walked over to his bed, pushed the remaining rubble off of it and lay down with his back to Ash. Ash shrugged and went to his own bed.
The next morning Ash was up early, ready to go to the tournament. Ash walked down for breakfast and saw Misty already up eating breakfast. "What's going on, Mist? Not nervous, are you?" Ash teased as he set down beside her. "Maybe… a little bit. I never competed in the League Tournament before." Ash placed his arm around her and she laid her head on his shoulder, "Don't worry, Mist, you'll do fine! Didn't Melody say we were the perfect team?" Misty smiled, "Yeah I guess. By the way, sorry 'bout last night." Ash squeezed her a little, "Don't worry about it."
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, at Orange Island Prison, Amanda relaxed in her cell, when a guard opened the door, "Your free to go, someone has paid your bail." Amanda stared in shock but immediately got up and walked behind the guard. He led her to a meeting room where the person who let her go was waiting and let her enter. She was even more shocked when she saw who had freed her, "You?"
Back at the Tournament, Ash and Misty shot right through the competition until there was just one more team between them and victory. Ash and Misty was on edge, they came this far and they were about to go all the way when they heard a familiar phrase: "Prepare for trouble… Make it double…" Ash and Misty looked at each other and said in unison, "It… can…be…"
Then the announcer came over the loud speaker, "And the final match in the Doubles Tournament is Ash Ketchum and Misty Waterflower vs. Team Rocket! This being the last match and a shortage of time, the match will be one Pokemon per trainer! Let the match begin!"
Jessie and James sent out Arbok and Wheezing. Ash looked at Misty "Which one you gonna use?" misty answered with: "MISTY CALLS… TENTACRUEL!!" Ash nodded and looked at Pikachu, who for some reason was wildly scratching his cheeks. "PIKACHU, I CHOOSE YOU!" Pikachu then nodded and jumped to the field beside Tentacruel with his cheeks sparking.
The match started with Arbok trying to poison the Tentacruel, but Tentacruel caught the snake and tossed it at wheezing.
Ash then called out "OK, PIKACHU! FINISH IT WITH A ULTRASHOCK!!!" Pikachu then formed an electric bubble around his body and absorbed it into his cheeks. This time it was deferent; it was almost like it hurt him to hold in the electricity. He then sent the blast, as usual, making Team Rocket 'blast off again'. The announcer came back on, "AND THE VERY FIRST EVER DOUBLES CHAMPIONS, ASH KETCHUM AND MISTY WATERFLOWER!!!"
Misty and Ash embraced and passionately kissed each other, as the crowd exploded in excitement. But on the field Pikachu stood on all fours panting, "Chu… pika… ka pi?" (What's… happening… to me?)
A few hours later, Mrs. Ketchum walked alone down the hallway of the hotel, happily whistling a happy tone. She was more then thrilled about her son and his girlfriend's victory, and she was planning to go down to the gift shop across the street and buy them both a present, when someone got her attention. "Excuse me, miss, could you help me?" Mrs. Ketchum smiled and followed the voice into a shadowy hallway, "Hello, where did you go?" she asked as she turned to see Fate standing behind her, "W-Who are you? S-stay away from me! HELLPP SOME ONE PLEASE AHHHHH!!!!"
C. Cowboy: I know that that 'tournament' was a little weak, but I might come back later and add to it. After all I am writing this part at 1:30 in the morning and I am very sleepy. Back to the story: what going to happen to Pikachu? What will Fate do to Ash's Mom? Who baled out Amanda, the Dark Master? Will Ash ever get Misty and Crystal to get along? Find out next time as the REAL tournament begins
