Author's Notes: Okay, I'll tone down on the trivia, though the answer to
the question that I put in last chapter was from an article I got from
elsewhere in the internet and it was a site that was about news. Also, I
have the answer on my bio because that's basically where the clue of what
he was suspected of having was also what I have. My parents showed it to me
before I went to the Summit Center that's run by JCMH or Jefferson Center
for Mental Health. That was also another clue. Anyway, the cartoon
character for the trivia two chapters ago was RoadRunner! If you don't
believe me, then think - all he ever says is beep beep. On regular t.v.,
that signifies where a cuss or foul word is. So, that's the answer to that,
yet when I first heard that, it was as a joke. ^_^ Anyway, I'm glad people
(my reviewers) liked my Blazeon. Though, I'm still thinking up moves for
it. Yet, I noticed that in Ruby/Sapphire all pokemon had abilities that
affected battles in some way or at least gave that pokemon an advantage.
So, does anyone know what the ability for causing the opponent to have a
very reduced accuracy? If you do, can you please let me know? I'm working
at getting the games, but first I need a job so I can get a gameboy
advanced first. Anyway, I've delayed chapter 20 for far too long. Here it
is!

Gary had to really try to keep himself from bursting out laughing. Misty has just now found out that she has to have AT LEAST TWO different water pokemon. She is not very happy and Gary finds her face comical, although he doesn't want to let her know that. They skipped through Olivine city as they wanted to make it in time for the Whirl cup competition. Gary is letting Misty register before him; mostly so that he can see what her reaction to needing another water pokemon. He can hardly wait to tell her that she has to send one to his grandfather just so that she can put another water pokemon in her party. Gary knows that she has no where else to send it to. He figures that his grandfather would rather have the Blazeon as it's new and he would want to learn as much about it as he could.
After Misty is done registering and storms off, Gary quickly registers and as he's leaving, he notices Ash. Gary decides to find out why Ash is here with Misty and their son. Gary casually walks next to him. Ash doesn't even notice and when Misty sees Gary, he motions for her to be silent. She smirks knowingly and Gary thinks of a good way to get Ash's attention without him paying very much attention to him.
"Um, excuse me, mister?" Gary asks softly as if he's a timid person and doesn't know Ash. "Is this the line for registration into the Whirl cup?"
"Yeah," Ash replies without even turning. "What's your name."
"Gary," Gary replies, straining to keep back laughing. Misty, however, is already chuckling. Ash doesn't notice Misty's reaction. Gary finds watching Misty makes it harder to keep in his own laughter. "I just got in town."
"Well, so did I," Ash replied, still not looking.
"Hey! There's a Pottleti!" Gary said pointing towards the door behind Misty. Ash doesn't even turn.
But simply replies, "I have one. . ." Ash trails off. He thinks for a moment. Gary knows no one really knows about Pottletis and he figured that Ash would realize that someone shouldn't just know about them when they haven't even been announced as a discovered pokemon, although Ash has already been credited with their discovery already.
"Wait a second!" Ash said, now turning towards Gary. "How did you. . ." Ash trails off again as he realizes who was speaking to him the entire time. Gary couldn't contain his laughter any more and Misty burst out laughing too. Ash's entire face turned beet red.
"What's wrong daddy?" Ash's son asked.
"Nothing," Ash said, through gritted teeth. Gary figured that Ash didn't like this happening to him. "Why did you do that?" Ash demanded of Gary.
"I wondered if you would notice me if I just started talking to you. It's not my fault that you're so dense that you're completely off of the atomical scale," Gary replied, as if he knew so much more than Ash did, when they really knew about the same amount.
"So, why did you ask if this was the line for registration?" Ash asked, frustrated.
Gary sighed and then put his hand to his forehead and shook his head. Misty was doing the same thing simultaneously. Ash really could be dense when he doesn't think, Gary thought to himself. And this was one of those times. I hope that he wasn't like that time when he was with Marin for nine years or so, Gary thought as he replied, "If you don't understand I don't see why it would benefit you for me to tell you."
Ash stalked away, obviously too frustrated to reply or even continue any form of conversation. "Is daddy mad?" Ash's son asked.
Misty looked at Gary and Gary held up his hands in front of himself as he replied, "He's not my son." Gary heard Misty sigh as she began to explain it to her son. Gary decided to come back later when Ash wasn't so frustrated. He knew that Ash wasn't too happy being embarrassed like that. Yet, Gary couldn't blame Ash. As Gary walked out of the Pokecenter, he vaguely heard someone whisper, "Thunderbolt!"
When Gary heard the crackling of Pikachu's electricity, Gary knew that he was too late. Ash's Pikachu hit him full on with a thunderbolt. Gary figured that it was fair trade for what he did to Ash.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Misty was pissed. She couldn't believe that she couldn't use her fire- type pokemon in this. Gary MUST have known about this! Misty thought to herself. She figured that she could easily get back at him, but she had to get another water-type. Misty figured that she could at least try to call Cherrygrove city and see if her mother was in the Pokecenter at the moment. She usually was there at this time. Misty would have called her mother more often, but they never had a phone at their house. They just didn't, though Misty had no idea why.
Misty tried to call, but there wasn't an answer. They must either be really busy, or no one's around. Misty sighed. She knew that she'd have to temporarily send one of her pokemon somewhere, but she didn't have any place to send them. She didn't want to try and catch another water-type, because she wanted to use it right away instead of having to wait for an opportunity to send it somewhere. Misty was thinking of purposefully losing. She would talk to her Octillery about it. She was sure that he would understand. She just couldn't see a way out of it. Misty went to the room where she was staying at. As soon as she closed the door and slid to a sitting position right in front of the door, her anger melted away to allow her sadness over this to show.
Tears flowed down her face. She didn't want to have to lose on purpose, but she didn't see another way out of it. Everything seemed to be against her. She didn't want to tell Gary about this because she was certain that he wouldn't be of any help. He would only tell her that she would need to live up to her end of the bargain. Yet, she couldn't see another way out other than just failing on purpose so that way she wouldn't have to have quite so much trouble when she was supposed to have a second pokemon. What hurt worst of all was that she wasn't certain that any of her pokemon would understand it if she wanted them to battle while knowing that they would lose. She didn't want that in any of her pokemon's mind when they went into battle. She just couldn't think of any other way than withdrawing her name from the competition and admitting that she couldn't do what a REAL trainer was supposed to do. That's what I am, Misty thought to herself, a failure. Not even a REAL trainer. I never would be able to get anywhere. There isn't any way that I could do anything.
It was hours before she finally stopped crying. By then, she was sleeping peacefully, not even troubled anymore by the fact that she didn't have a way to get another water pokemon and that she was planning on purposefully failing the competition. She was instead dreaming of when she was younger and living carefree with her pokemon, battling occasionally and not even worrying about anything other than just enjoying themselves. Of course, her pokemon would do what they could to help her with her chores. Misty most missed her Marill, which was at the orphanage, but in her dream she was able to spend plenty of time with him. Here, she was still with her Marill and nothing was wrong with him now.
She was still asleep when Gary tried knocking on the door and eventually opened it to find her asleep by the door. He figured that he better let Misty wake her up. That way she wouldn't be mad at him. Gary shut the door the scant inches that he had opened it.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Ash was excited. This time I'm going to win! he thought to himself. Although Misty was going to compete as well, he didn't plan on showing any mercy towards anyone. Especially those of his family that were participating. Though, the one he wanted to beat most of all was Gary. However, Ash wanted it to be in his final round. That way he would have a good long warm up to prepare him. Yet, Ash was wondering what other opponents there would be. He hoped that he wouldn't face off against his daughter or wife, but he knew that the decisions of who he'd battle wouldn't be up to him. If he didn't face them, he wished them luck, because he knew that he could easily just lose in this because he didn't have complete experience as Misty did with Water pokemon.
Ash didn't want to think about the competition, though. He would rather think about what he had remembered during the past little while. He was looking up at the sky as the stars were appearing. He remembered that he had made several friends in Cherrygrove city, including the hotel clerk that recognized him without either really knowing that he was Yellow. He also remembered how he liked different things then what he did now. He liked Tentacool, but he didn't really like them. He was beginning to get confused by what he remembered. He just hoped that he would be able to make sense of everything soon.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Marin sighed. The pokecenter was closed due to remodeling. Now, she didn't have much to do with all of the pokemon asleep in their areas of the orphanage. Marin hoped that Misty was doing alright. It's been a while since she last talked to her. About when she was in Goldenrod was the last time she remembered talking to her. Now, all Marin could do was wait for any word either from her or about her. Marin knew that if something happened that Misty was in that was very important she would hear about it on the news or read about it in the newspaper. Otherwise, she would just have to wait for the pokecenter to be open and for Misty to call when she was around. Marin estimated that Misty would be either somewhere around the Whirl Islands or in them by now. Marin also wondered how her Ash was doing and how his amnesia was currently doing. Is he remembering more things now? Or is he still not really sure of who he is? Marin hoped that she would at least be able to see him one more time before he chose who he would be with for the rest of his life. Or before something happens that makes it impossible to see him again.

Author's Notes: So, what does everyone think about this? The trivia for this chapter is taken from a Jeopardy episode that I saw a little while ago. The movie 'The Fugitive' is taken from the book that takes place in France and is about a cop who is out to capture the fugitive hero. The answer for this trivia is the title of the book. Anyway, I'm thinking of starting the battling in the next chapter. I'm also thinking of creating a way that Blazeon will escape from Prof. Oak and get to Misty's first battle in the competition. If you have any suggestions please let me know! I can't take a suggestion that I don't have. Also, for those who don't like this, bring on the flames! Although, I haven't had anyone tell me so far that they don't like it. Well, anyway, please look forward to chapter 21! ^_^
