Ch. 3 "To Start Pokemon Training"

"Hey Misty!" Ash called, running up. She was with her sisters; they were giving her a makeover.

"Hi Ash." Misty looked up to see him run through the townsfolk.

"Come on, I heard about a great place." Ash whispered, noticing his mom was resting and he didn't wanna wake her for a certain reason.

"Ash, my sisters are brushing my hair." Misty hinted.

"And it's your turn." Ash heard his mom say. He cringed and tried to run off but she picked him up like an apple and brushed his hair.

"Mom!" Ash squirmed but she held tight. "Mom, you're messing up my look." She let Ash down. "Ok, ok, I'm done so can we go now?" Ash shook his head and messed his hair up to look like it normally does.

"This better not be another dumb hoax." Misty warned.

"It's not, it's super cool." Ash assured.

"Where's this super cool place?" His mom cut in.

"Uh, by the lake?" Ash gulped.

"The lake again, that wasn't very cool last time. What's new?" Misty cried.

"I'll show you there." Ash whispered.

"Ok." Misty nodded. "So, uh, can I go sisters?"

"What do you think?" They asked Ash's mom.

"Well," She started.

"Please?" Ash and Misty begged.

"It's cool." Mrs. Ketchum grinned.

"Yea, alright!" They cheered and ran off.

"If Brock goes to." Mrs. Ketchum grinned.

"Aw, not Brock." Ash groaned. Soon the trio was off to the lake.

"I'm on my break, I'm on my break. Why do I have to baby sit?" Brock moaned.

"So, where are we going?" Misty asked.

"The north fields." Ash replied.

"Cool." Misty grinned.

"Sh, Brock." Ash motioned.

"Yea, how do we dump the nanny?" Misty asked and they began to plot. Brock heard and turned around.

"Oh stop that you two, if your parents found out you were this bad I'd have a full time job as probation officer. You need to learn to act right so when you're bethroed," Brock scolded.

"Be what?" Ash cocked his head.

"You know, engaged and all." Brock replied.

"Meaning?" Misty motioned her hand to keep going.

"It means you're gonna be married." Brock laughed.

"Yuck, ew." Ash and Misty gagged.

"I can't marry a friend." Ash argued.

"It's too weird." Misty nodded.

"Sorry to be the one to break this to you so early, but it's customary for a Pokemon Master to marry a highly respected trainer such as gym leader." Brock said.

"So, my mom was a gym leader?" Ash gasped.

"No, she was the leader of the orange crew a long time ago." Brock recalled.

"Well either way, that's the first rule I break as ruler." Ash grinned.

"Too bad, love is my call to protect and I'm gonna be around as long as you are, like it or not." Brock countered.

"Well then, you're fired." Ash joked.

"Ha, nice try but you have not a stitch of power." Brock patted him.

"Well, you shouldn't joke about him if he's the future master." Misty cut in.

"Yea, if you wanna be on my good side you gotta do as I say." Ash boasted.

"Not yet good sir." Brock growled. "Your pathetic attitude is showing me you don't have what it takes to be a good Pokemon Master of tomorrow indeed."

"Ha, I see it a different way." Ash grinned and began to put their plan of a song of diversion into action. Ash began to corner Brock, singing.

Ash: I'm gonna start training, so Team Rocket beware!"

Brock: I've seen many masters; your skills don't match theirs.

Ash: I'm gonna win each main event, slam my rivals to the floor. I'll stand up high and look down proud, and give my catlike roar.

Brock: And what, Ash, are you calling this dream?

Ash: To start Pokemon training.

Brock: You've got quite a ways to go, you'll see.

Ash: I'll win this,

Brock: Listen to this,

Misty: Everyone will be there.

Brock: Nobody cares.

Ash: They will see that,

Brock: It takes time,

Ash and Misty: I'm the best here.

Brock: Stay right here!

Ash: I can have fun and play all day,

Brock: Hardly!

Ash: When I have things my way.

Brock: I think it's time to have a talk heart to heart.

Ash: I don't need advice from you for a start.

Brock: If he's gonna start training count me out. Out of service, out of the league, who'd want to hang about? Guys you need to be under my wing.

Ash: To start Pokemon training. If you look left or look right, everywhere you'll see me, I'll be in a spotlight.

Brock: Far from it!

Other people: Trainers and Pokemon rejoice to sing, while Ash is soaring. He's Ash Ketchum, master to be.

Ash and Misty: To start Pokemon training!

The next thing Brock knew, everyone was gone and he was trapped in a tree.

"Uh, somebody, anybody?" Brock called. "Ash, Misty?" They ditched him.
