Peggi-Well, I'm not very good at romance, nor am I good at writing this particular fic, but I will keep trying until I get it right! Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome, just no flamers, please!

CHAPTER TWO – CHIBIES?

Ash stared in terror. It was indeed Misty, Brock, and Tracey. Only they were smaller . . .younger. . .cuter. They were . . .

Ash-Chibies? How did you guys get like this?

CM- (chibi misty) Hi! I tired o' swimming. I take a nap o' de couch? (Hi! I'm tired. Can I take a nap on the couch?)

Ash-Uh.

Before he could say more, Brock had shoved his way inside. He was jumping on the bed. Tracey went up to him with a motel pillow and hit him with it. Brock grabbed a pillow, and a pillow fight ensued. Ash ran up to them to calm them down.

Ash-No, no, no! Don't do that.

They just stuck their tongues out at him. It took him maybe ten whole minutes to calm them down. When he did, he looked over to the doorway. Misty was standing there in the open doorway trying not to fall asleep standing up. Ash ran up to her.

Ash-Okay, Misty. Come with me.

He closed the door behind them and led her to the bed. He had left Tracey and Brock on the couch of their suit watching TV.

Ash-Here ya go. So, how old are you, Misty?

Misty-I is this many.

She calculated her age on her fingers and then held up five of them.

Ash-Five, huh? Well, you take a nap. I have to go down to the lobby and call someone.

A couple minutes later Ash arrived in the lobby of the Hotel. The lady let him use the phone. He dialed, and when the screen showed the picture of whom he was talking to, he was very surprised.

Ash-Gary!

Gary-Nice talking to you too, Ash.

Ash-Look, I have to talk to Professor Oak. Is he around?

Gary-Yeah, but there's one problem.

Ash-What?

Gary-He's outside playing in the mud with some of the Pokémon.

Ash-You don't mean?

Gary-Yeah. He's a chibi.

Ash-So are Brock, Misty, and Tracey. Do you have any idea how it happened?

Gary-No, but the doctors called me on my cell phone.

Ash-You have a cell phone?

Gary-Who cares?

Ash-Never mind. But why did the doctors call you?

Gary-Because he nearly drowned. He was swimming in our private pool trying to put another chlorine filter at the bottom for the party we were supposed to have with all these famous people or something, and they said he was a chibi when they found him. But the weird thing is, he knew who I was. He didn't know that I was his grandson, but he knew who I was.

Ash-That's kinda like what happened with Brock, Misty, and Tracey. They came back to the Hotel room as chibies, but they seemed to know whom I was.

Gary-This is really weird. Maybe you should bring your stupid friends here and we can figure this thing out.

Ash-Yeah. I guess so.

So Ash called a boating service and made reservations for the next departure to Pallet town, which was five hours away.
