Chapter 16- "A Surprising Discovery"

Ash, Misty, Togetic, and Pikachu were outside the hostipital, finally. Ash stretched as Misty hugged Togetic, Pikachu sitting atop his trainer's head. "It feels great to get out of the hospital, doesn't it Misty?" Misty really didn't respond, but did whimper a bit. Ash crouched and hugged her, "Its ok.I will protect you." Misty smiled and hugged back, "Thanks Ash." Ash stood up and giving a smile, "Hey, how about we go visit Brock? It has been four years you know." Misty nodded. Getting up herself, she joined Ash, as they headed, by car, to Brock's house.

It took them quite some time, but since they left in the early morning, Ash and Misty arrived at Brock's house in the mid-afternoon. They stood at the front door and rang the doorbell, but after some time, there was no response. Both Ash and Misty thought that Brock was away, so they decided to visit another day, and as they headed back to the car, they heard a familiar voice to make them stop. "Ok Ruby! I'll see you tomorrow!" Immediately, everyone near the door hid behind the walls in front of it, the walls were shaped like brackets, and the outer most walls were hidden from plain view. As Brock entered, and fumbled with his keys to open his door, Ash and Misty stepped out of the shadows,

"Who is this Ruby, Brock?" Misty asked, grinning.

Brock was taken off guard and didn't know he was being watched, so instinctively he jumped around, and in a yell, "Don't hurt me!" He blinks, however, and finally realizing who it was, "Oh.it's you guys! How are you two?"

Ash chuckled, "First tell us who Ruby is."

Brock laughed nervously, "Ok. I'll tell you two. Let's go to the backyard, you guys can let out your Pokèmon while we chat. Ash and Misty nodded.

As Ash and Misty let out their Pokèmon, Pikachu decided to leave Ash for awhile and talk to the other Pokèmon. Charizard was already leaning up a large tree, while Bulbasaur rested under the foliage. Bayleef however was jumping a bit, having her eyes locked on Ash from a distance. Pikachu walked up to the group and greeted them all.

Charizard opened one eye, "Pikachu."

Bayleef was already talking to herself, "Oh Ash."

"What is Bayleef prancing about now?" Pikachu sighed.

"She is ogling over Ash again." Bulbasaur mumbled.

"Bayleef, you do know that Ash has no interest in you whatsoever, right?"

Bayleef stopped and looked at the yellow mouse, "That is where you're wrong! Ash loves me!"

"Don't bother Pikachu." Bulbasaur yawned, "she is slower than a Slowpoke."

"You be quiet! Ash loves me! He is just... shy to tell me."

"Bayleef," Pikachu sighed, "Ash doesn't!"

"Oh yeah? Well I will prove it to you, I am going to have..."

"And that is what happened, after that night, Ruby and me became a couple."

"Aww... that is so romantic..." Misty sighed.

"It sounds like the exact same way me and Misty fell in love..." Ash said.

Brock nodded, "Yes. But tell me you two, what have you done over these past years?"

"Well... when you left..."

"What?! Bayleef! You can't do that to Ash!"

"Why not? We do it the same way!"

Pikachu blinked, "That's not the point! You're a Pokemon! He is a human! He doesn't like you! Those things don't mix!"

"But he loves me, and tonight, I am going to do it!"

Bulbasaur had a hard time keeping his laughter down, which finally he broke onto his back, laughing madly, "Oh, this is going to be great! I have to see this!"

"Come on guys, it's time to return." Ash said, returning all of his Pokemon except Pikachu, who ran up beside Ash's leg. Brock looked at Misty, who was finishing up returning her Pokemon. "How about you two sleep over, you can sleep at the guest bedrooms, but I know you two just want one bed..."

"Brock..." Misty replied irritated.

Brock chuckled, "Ok... fine. Tomorrow we can meet Ruby."

With that being said everyone had dinner and finally went to sleep. That late night, only three Pokemon stood awake at the foot of the bed of which Ash and Misty were slumbering.

"Please, for the love of Mew, don't do this to Ash, I told you, he doesn't like you!"

"He does too! When I start, he will lean down and slowly kiss me across my lips and..." She starts blushing and begins to fantasize romantic moves done upon her. This makes Bulbasaur snigger, trying his best to hold his laughter back, while Pikachu tried to keep his dinner from spreading all over the bed covers. Finally, Bayleef stopped fantasizing and looked up, "Ash, get ready for the pleasure of your life!"

Bayleef slowly approached the feet of Ash, she was still blushing, but she suddenly stopped when she took in the sight. There they were, propped up by some pillows, Misty, leaning on Ash's shoulders. Both were sleeping, both had smiles of pure bliss on their face. It was a perfect picture. It was at that moment, Bayleef finally realized that all the time, all that fantasizing, all her dreams, they would never come true. She sighed and slowly headed backwards, going into her Pokeball.

Both Bulbasaur and Pikachu watched in silence, Pikachu spoke several minutes after Bayleef retreated into her Pokeball, "Poor Bayleef... her spirit was crushed."

"But I wanted to see it..."

"At least Ash isn't touched..." Pikachu yawned, "I think I shall sleep. Night Bulbasaur." And with that, he curled up and slept. However Bulbasaur stood there, looking at the Pokeball that resided the broken grass Pokemon, until slumber took over and he tiredly went into his own Pokeball.

"You two made quite a ruckus last night..." Brock said wilily.

"Look Brock, we didn't do anything but sleep together. Stop being such a pervert." Misty said angrily as she and Ash re-released their Pokemon.

"Fine... fine, anyway, Ruby will be over in a few minutes..."

"Boy. She was crushed when she saw Ash and Misty sleeping, Charizard..." Pikachu said as he watched solemnly at the crying Bayleef under a tree.

"I feel kind of bad... mocking her and such... I'll make it up to her." Bulbasaur said, heading towards the fellow grass type.

Bayleef softly cried, why did she have to be so blind? Slowly she lifted her head slightly to see Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur, using his vine whip slowly wrapped it around Bayleef's neck, and lifting his body off the ground, attached himself to her face, giving her a hug. Bayleef stopped crying and used her own vine whip to hug back. Both smiled, and giving soft licks to each other.

"I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it." Pikachu said, approaching the two slowly, accompanied by Charizard. Pikachu said to the two, "So... look who has a mate now..."

"Quiet Pikachu... for once I found someone..." Bayleef said softly.

Charizard, unlike the tough stance and mood he usually is, was blubbering at the moment, finally speaking out, "Don't...let your relationship be broken... by anything."

Pikachu blinked, "Oh yeah! Charizard once had a mate too!"

Bulbasaur blinked once, "What?"

"Yeah... you see, you remember when Ash dropped off Charizard at that valley with all the Charizards, well while he was there, he fell in love with the trainer's Charizard, I think her name was Charla. But besides that, they began to see each other. Of course they weren't mates just yet, but all the Charizards in that valley seemed to actually think that they would be the best couple there. They weren't mates for one reason, her trainer. Charla's trainer didn't want Charla to mate, but Charla herself wanted nothing more to find a lover, so they had to keep their relationship a secret. Well one night, they overcame their fears of exposure, and expressed to each other their love to one another, finally becoming full mates. Sadily enough, Ash got in trouble a few days later, and Charizard had to save him, never seeing Charla again."

"Guys, I want you to meet Ruby, my next door neighbor and girlfriend." Brock said, chuckling. Ruby greeted Misty and Ash, and they did the same. Ruby, noticing all the Pokemon out, asked, "You guys mind if I let my Pokemon out?"

"Sure!" Ash said. Of course his cheerful mood went into nervousness as he saw the Mew from the Pokeball, hastily trying to find his Pokedex as Mew floated to the crying Charizard.

Mew patted the Charizard's head and asked in a soft tone, "What is the matter with him?"

"He is upset that he hasn't seen his mate." Bayleef responded.

Charizard was slightly hysterical as he spoke, "Why couldn't I tell her? Why couldn't I just barge in and hug her goodbye... she probably found some other Charizard..."

Mew patted again, "Keep faith, there are a lot more Magikarp in the sea."

Charizard nods, finally smiling, "Yeah! I am going to find another mate!"

Injecting into the conversation, Pikachu speaks out, "Well since everyone is telling the lives that no one knows about, I might as well tell mine."

"What?" Charizard asked.

"I am a father." Pikachu said proudly. However, everyone upon hearing this fell into uncontrollable laughter.

"You a father? That is silly!" Charizard roared out.

"I am! 3 children and a beautiful wife."

"I don't believe you."

"I am serious! I was captured when I was out with my wife!"

"By who?"

"Some old guy, I think that old man Ash keeps talking to, Professor Oak."

"I still don't believe you."

Mew shook her head, "No, he is telling the truth, I can read his memories." Suddenly she looks over to Psyduck, who is just staring at the sky blankly. She floats to the duck, returning shortly afterwards and announcing, "That strange duck... I think he had your wife too!"

"What?!" Pikachu said.

As if the entire world went black before their eyes. The entire group, Mew, Charizard, Pikachu, Bayleef, and Bulbasaur seemed to be in a black room. Seemingly watching a movie from above and around their entire bodies, they watched as two Pikachus, one male, the other female fight a relatively old man in a forest. The male Pikachu seemed to defend the female, until he was hit a heavy blow by the other Pokemon and was captured. The man then returned the Pokemon and walked back into the forest. The female stood there, crying, until a Psyduck found the female and talked to it. The sorrow filled female however latched on to the Psyduck, and in a series of explicit moves, the Psyduck and female Pikachu became mates. The room turns dark again for a moment, then opening a new scene where the Psyduck and Pikachu were bickering over something. Eventually the Pikachu gave off a great thunder, blasting Psyduck in a huge explosion and off into the distance. Static followed, and all of the Pokemon found themselves back in the backyard. Everything was silent until Pikachu said, "So that is why Psyduck is constantly stupid, the blast must have damaged something up there."

"I guess you were right Pikachu, sorry." Charizard said.

"Yeah, I miss my mate..."

"But aren't you mad at her for cheating on her?"

A voice came out of the bushes, "No, he isn't, because he knows his mate had the strongest thunder in the clan!" A Sandshrew walked out of the bushes and greeted everyone, "Hi guys!" He then looked at Pikachu, "Hey buddy!"

Pikachu jumped for joy, "Sandshrew! How are you?"

"Fine man, a bit upset sin-"

"Excuse me, but am I missing something?" Bayleef asked.

"Oh. Sorry, this is Sandshrew, from my clan, or as we called him, 'Pikachu with stubby tail'"

"But... only the Pikachu family are allowed to be in such clans?" Bulbasaur asked.

"Yes, but... well there is a story about it... let me tell it." Everyone groaned, not another story. "You see, this Sandshrew here wandered into our clan area. Being the defensive, the entire clan was about to rip him apart like cheap paper, when the daughter of our Raichu leader, fell in love with this guy here. Which reminds me... how many times have you..."

Sandshrew finished the sentence, "14."

"And not a father of children..."

"Yeah, but I was captured."

"By who?"

"I don't know, some girl who has an obsession of yellow and black Pokemon, baseball, and has this Bayleef." Everyone seemed to get chills down their spines at that exact same moment.

"Please don't let it be-"

"Sandshrew, where are you?" A young girl appears from the same bushes Sandshrew appeared from, and spotting the small shrew, she ran up and picked him up. Noticing the other Pokemon she looks around more, and spotting Ash, she ran towards him, "Hey Ash!" Of course her trip goes short when Psyduck stood right in the girl's path, making her trip over him and sending Sandshrew, who rolled up in a ball, under the table.

Pikachu laughed at the sight, "At least that Psyduck has some use." He then rushed towards the Sandshrew under the table.

The girl finally approaches the table where everyone is sitting at, and excitedly greeted everyone with a "Hi guys!"

"Oh... hey Casey!" Ash said.

"Hey! How have you been all these years?"

"Fine, and how are you?"

"I am almost done with getting all the badges and going to Indigo League! All I need is the Bolder Badge!"

"Well I am the Gym Leader..." Brock replied.

"Then I challenge you!"

"I don't feel like it today, come back tomorrow." Ruby giggled at the nonchalant Brock.

"Then I challenge you Ash!"

Ash pulls Misty onto his lap, which gets him a giggle from Misty, and replies, "I got to catch this pretty Pokemon... and besides..." He leans to the right, "I don't think my Pokemon are up for a battle."

Casey seems to be still for a moment, and finally responds in a robotic tone, "Ash? You're with Misty?"

"Ash?" Sandshrew asked as he uncurled from his ball, "Ash? My trainer is obsessed over Ash!"

Pikachu blinked, "What do you mean?"

"She dreams about someone named Ash, sometimes too vividly..."

"I would have never guessed it."

"Can I let my Pokemon out as well since everyone's is out?"

Brock nodded, "Sure."

With that, Casey let out two Pokemon, a Pikachu and a Bayleef. Pikachu spotted the other one, and with a stare for a long moment, asked Sandshrew, "She looks familiar."

Sandshrew looked for a moment, "Well, of course she does, she is your mate."

"I knew it!" Pikachu said that, tackling the female.

Charizard and Mew, watching the scene, Charizard gave out a sigh, "Isn't that cute...hmm... that's a bit too affectionate... hrmmm... that is a bit too far... ok... that IS to far... oh come now, get a room you two!" He places a wing over Mew's face to block the scene.

A person crumples up the 7 page chapter. "Guys, I think this chapter was the longest and most pointless chapter we have ever made."

"Well Joey, you did place a lot of screwed up things in here."

"Zach, I know this. Back off. What did you think Andrew?"

"I think you need a vacation, and a good dose of real life."

A young boy rushes in and screams out, "I am the great codfather!"

"Cody! Sit down and join the meeting, you're late." Joey said, "Ok, we need to decide on this chapter."

"What are our options?" Zach asked.

"We can either post this, or show reruns of 'I dream of Jynxy."

"Hrmm, better ask the company mascot."

Joey nodded, "Company mascot, what should we do?"

"Pikachu!"

"The yellow mouse has a valid point."

Cody laughed, "The Codfather cannot take advice from a lowly rat!" The mascot, not seeming to have patience, violently attacks and starts beating the tar out of him.

Andrew asks, "So what should we do?"

~I dream of a Jynxy with a light brown hair...~
