(8) Zensokuryoku de, mirai mo, ima mo, kake nukero… (8) ^_^ hyper here lol. I want a Wilson…
Thank you as usual to everyone who reviewed this… like I've said for a while, both my stories and I need some R&R… This is the first one of the group to get a lot of it lol. Warning: Brock bashing ahead. Of course lol ^_^ And don't ask what it is with me and chapter 3s being slightly fluffy, ok?!!! Pamejo47@aol.com or Lyra_Kamiya@hotmail.com.
"Well, we're here!" the quartet wandered through the gate of Blackthorne.
"Yeah!!!! I get ta win my last badge!!"
"And I get to help," ChikoRita came up from behind him, wrapped her arms around his neck and rubbed her face in his shoulder.
"Uh… Rita… you're embarrassing me!" Ash grimaced.
"Hey, guys, we need to check into the hotel. Uh-oh…" Brock sweatdropped staring at the reservations they had made.
"What is it, Brock?" Misty tried to see what he was looking at on the sheet.
"Guys… we reserved in advance, right? Well, every hotel in town is full… and we've only got 3 beds in ours… and now there are four of us…"
"Oh no…"
Human? I Wish… NOT!!
#3*Day2-2: I Never Conquered When you Came

"Are you sure there are *no* other rooms in town??" Ash whined, glancing at ChikoRita discreetly as he did so.
"None. Not until tomorrow night… it's a Saturday night, at the end of fall Ash! It's ski season here." (They get to face the problem we face here! Ya-ha!)
"Well… that's ok…" ChikoRita turned to them. "I can just share a bed with Ash!" He stared in shock for a moment, and Brock, Misty, and Pikachu all stared in total horror at the suggestion.
"No… we're not gonna double up like that…" Ash gulped.
"Ahhh…. Why n-"
"I ain't sleepin in the same bed as Brock either though!" he quickly added.
"Me neither," Misty agreed. She looked at Ash for a moment, and their eyes met… And their faces turned bright red.
"I'm not sleepin in the same bed as him/her either, so :P" they both complained, turned back to back almost. Brock and Pikachu eyed them warily for a moment.
"Hey… are you guys sunburned…?" Brock asked calmly.
"What?!" they both demanded.
"Well then, what are we supposed to do," Ash finally asked.
Misty glanced between him and ChikoRita, who looked halfway puzzled, halfway ready to cry. Given the choice, I know who I'd choose to be trapped with for a night… but… gotta act normal… "*Sigh* fine then… I'll share my bed with *Rita*…" She tried not to sneer…
"Well… alright!" ChikoRita said, seemingly cheerfully.
It was destined to be a long rest-of-the day.
*later, outside the hotel*
"Now can we go to the gym? Please?" Ash whined.
"Yeah, please?" ChikoRita echoed. Ash looked over at her, half shocked, but looking slightly happier than he had all day with her being around. Most likely just because finally he had someone who agreed with him about hurrying up so he could win his badge… but still no matter what she was a bit of a nuisance… nuisance being the key word…
"Alright, we can go now. We've got enough time before we should go eat dinner for you to have a couple of matches," Brock looked at his watch to clarify the statement.
"Yea!"
"Yahoo! Ashy, let's go win it, ok?!" she grabbed his arm and started to drag him off towards the gym. (she's starting to remind me of Satchika from Tenchi: daughter of darkness…)
Now it was Misty's turn to stare at her again. In disgust. She's acting like one of Gary's cheerleaders… you never see me acting like that around him, I just root him on… Well… mostly… her mind drifted back to Ash's match with Richie, when Ash had showed up late and she'd blown up in Richie's face over it… She still remembered the look on his face when she stomped his foot in anger… She really had wanted Ash to win too much that day… But Ash shouldn't have anyone treating him like that… Brock, Tracey, and I have always been there to cheer for him, but… she looked back at ChikoRita, who at the moment was beginning every sentence with "Ashy"… I thought having another girl around would be fun… Why couldn't Vulpix or someone like that have become human… she sighed.
They reached the gym relatively fast… Ash had obviously wanted to get there, and not just because he was after his final Johto badge… He turned to Pikachu, who was standing beside him, ready to walk in at any moment. "Well buddy, it's been over three years, and we've made it through two other leagues… now it's time for our third one. Are you ready?"
"Pika, Pikapi!" he replied happily then turned to the door a little more solemnly. Ash took a step forward and placed his hand on the door, then reached for the handle to pull it open.
"This is it… After this, we go to the Johto league competition… If we win this… We may face… Gary again… I know it's going to be tough from here, but we'll do our best, and I know we'll win," Ash said silently and started opening the door.
"Ahh, who cares about Gary! You're the best Ashy, and I know you can win. I'm here to help you too!!"
"Ahh! Rita!!!!" he yelled accusingly, ruining the moment. "I'm trying to be all serious here and you jump in like this… geesh!"
"I just wanna help you Ashy! I thought we might wanna hurry so we can go a victory dinner together afterwards, just you and me!"
"No… I want hamburgers. And with Misty, Pikachu, and Brock too."
"Ahh… but I wanted to try one of those fancy French places Misty is always talking about!"
Pikachu, Misty, and Brock all stood sweatdropping over the situation. "Gees… they fight almost as much as you and Ash do, Misty," Brock chuckled. "But you know what they say though, you hurt the ones you love!"
"AND EXACTLY WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, NO EYES??!!" he had not only Misty but Ash as well yelling in his face.
As they started yelling at (not arguing with… just yelling at) Brock, two figures popped out of the doorway to investigate the commotion. The first was a gym attendant. "Um… May I help you?" she asked shyly.
"You can certainly help me, miss. It seems I lost my heart, and I thought it might have been left at the Lost and Found, but I think you have it instead!" Brock swooned, in his typical pretty-girl mood.
"Hey… wasn't that one of his lines he intended for use on Officer Jenny?" Ash whispered.
"I don't know Ash… I think he's actually used it on one before…" Misty replied.
"What is up with him? And does he have an off switch or maybe a pokéball we can put him in?" ChikoRita complained.
"I'm afraid not… but there is one solution. Have at it, Misty!"
"Thank you." She walked over to Brock, grabbed his ear, and hauled him off by it. "Enough with the cheap lines Romeo."
"How often does she do that to him?" ChikoRita said stunned.
"Most days," Ash answered.
"And to you?"
"Never has."
"Why not?"
"I don't act like that."
"Oh… do I?"
"Um… well, technically no…" ^_^' Yeah technically because he does that to every girl he sees and you're only like that and about twice as bad to me…
Finally the second person, who appeared to be extremely confused, got a chance to speak. "Hey… I thought you two girls looked familiar…. You're the girls from the pokécenter! How's the play going?!" Misty and ChikoRita glanced over at him.
"Huh… play?"
Rats he must have seen us when I was trying to get Chikorita's hair fixed up… "Oh, Rita, you know, the one where you're a ChikoRita turned human?!" Misty sweatdropped.
"Huh…"
"You'll have to forgive her! She's a little forgetful sometimes!"
"I think that the plot line sounds great, her trying to steal your boyfriend or brother or whoever Ash is," the boy smiled. Ash stood behind the girls with a very confused look on his face. Brock just sat staring at the gym attendant still.
"Oh, hmm, yeah thanks! It's our own original plot line, but we're not going to be through with it for quite a while unfortunately…"
"Well, I hope I can see it once it comes out… See ya round!" he walked away, and Misty let out a sigh of relief.
"Wow… you guys are doing a play?" the gym attendant said.
"Not exactly…" Misty grimaced.
"I'm here to win a badge," Ash explained solemnly.
"Pi!"
"And I'm here to help!" ChikoRita threw her arms around his neck enthusiastically. (Not easy because she's shorter than him (Ack!) (like about Washu type short…) she is a Gijinka after all…)
"Alright… right this way…" she lead them down the hall.
They walked down the hall fairly quietly. Something had stuck in Ash's mind about what the boy had said though. "Hey Misty… what was that about 'boyfriend or brother or whoever Ash is'. You know, what that kid said?"
"Something Rita said when I wanted to do something with her hair to cover her leaf."
"Oh… Mind if I--"
"She said 'are you afraid Ash might like it?'" she said answering his question before he could fully ask it.
*about 20 min later…*
"Dragonite! Use Twister!" Claire proclaimed.
"Aaroo!" the Dragon answered
"Bulb…" she collapsed on the ground, surrounded by the small tornado.
"Bulbasaur is unable to battle! Challenger, choose your next pokémon!"
"Grrr… Bulbasaur return! Go, Cyndaquil!" Ash commanded. He glanced at Pikachu who lay fainted beside Misty and Brock on the bench. ChikoRita was behind him, chanting like one of Gary's cheerleaders.
"Laaava…" he answered upon being released from his pokéball.
"Wait?! You're… a… Cyndaquil, you evolved to Quilava!" Ash smiled at his new higher evolution pokémon. He must have evolved last night and I didn't notice when I was panicked this morning…
"Qui!" he agreed.
"Use Flamethrower Quilava!" Ash decided.
"Dragonite, use Surf!" Claire countered.
"What?! It knows water moves?!"
"Aaroooooo!" Dragonite proved the point.
"Qui!!!" he attacked.
"Quilava look out!" everything was turning into a blur…
"Quilav!"
"Now use Hydro Pump!"
"Darooo!"
"Quilava, no!"
"Lava…"
"No…"
"Challenger… do you have a sixth pokémon?"
"No… I don't… Quilava, return…"
"The match goes to Claire, the gym leader!" (Yes I know Claire is a girl and Ash kept saying he you'll find out soon…)
"No… I lost… not again… I hadn't… for so long…"
"Ashy, Ashy, he's our man!" ChikoRita still hadn't realized he'd lost.
Ash looked at her, and then her pokéball… If I'd just had one more pokémon… I know I could have won… If I'd just had her to use earlier, that with Quilava I could have won! Why'd she have to become human, and why now? Why? Am I just doomed to always loose from now on? No… It can't be…
"I can't believe… I lost… My final badge…" Suddenly he got up, walked over and picked up Pikachu, then ran out of the gym crying.
"Ash, wait, come back!" Misty called after him.
"Ashy, Ashy… huh? Where'd he go?"
Yeah I actually *can* write cliffhangers…
Guess whaties?! I'm finally gonna add another present/future songfic-like thing! Oddly enough… I'm either gonna add a Davis/Keiji comparison or a Kori/(dum-dum-dum) Misty one. Odd huh? Hint: It's a song by Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera if it's the second one (lol!) And Eeveelutional shall be released every Saturday from now on, unless I indicate otherwise.
Ok… so I know I'll be killed if I say this sucked -_-'. Just tell me what you think then. Please?
