Chapter 6 - When there's poop... there's bugs.

~*~

"Ash honey, hand me my spade. No, I said the spade. Ash, that is not a spade."

Ash sighed and wiped his head with the back of his hand, "I don't know what a spade is."

"The little shovel."

"Oh, ok. Here."

"Not this one, the one with the blue handle."

Ash groaned, "What's the difference?"

"The pink one is smaller, I like the blue one better. Thanks Honey"

"If you like the blue one better, why do you even have the pink one?"

Mrs. Ketchum began smoothing out the manure with the back of the spade, "The pink one is better for digging holes in small places. Mimey, water for me."



Ash plugged his nose with his dirt covered fingers, "Who's idea was it to put manure on plants anyway?"

"A very smart person."

"A very smart person decided to rub pokemon crap all over the ground?"

"Ashton!"



"Sorry." He sighed.

Mrs. Ketchum gazed over her garden with satisfaction, "Well I think that part is over!"

Ash shot up, "Great!" He spun around and started running back to the house, "I'm just gonna go wash and hands, and-"

"Not so fast." He suddenly felt a sharp pull at his collar as his Mom dragged him back to her, "You still need to help with the planting!"

"But Mooooom!"

"No buts young man. Now, you dig the holes," she handed him the pink handled spade, "Pikachu and Togetic will hand me the seeds," she handed them a package of plant seeds, "I'll put the seeds in the holes, and Mimey can cover the holes up!"

"Fine..." He groaned, shoving the spade into the dirt.

"Keep digging, it's not deep enough. Wait! Oh, now its too deep. Fill it in a little, not that much!"

Ash sighed to himself, "Now I remember why I was so eager to start my journey..."

~*~



"James? Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"



"Sure am Jessie! Pikachu and Togetic are right outside!"

"But what about da tworp and his Mom?"

"We'll just wait for them to go inside, Meowth," Jessie grinned, "and when they do, Pikachu and Togetic will be ours for the taking!"

James beamed, "And maybe we can steal one of those tasty looking tomatoes too!"

"WOULD YOU STOP THINKING ABOUT FOOD!?"

~*~

"Hey Brock! Hey Masato!" Tracy welcomed the two as they arrived at the lab, "Geeze, you guys look beat, what did you do? Run the whole way here?"

"Yes, actually," Brock panted, "Misty was about to kill us!"

"What did you do this time?" Gary asked coming into the conversation.

"We left her alone with my sister." Masato sighed, turning to Brock, "Remind me why we did that again?"

Tracy shook his head, "It's kind of sad really... If those two would have met under different circumstances, they might have become friends."

Gary nodded, "And Ash doesn't even get the reason they keep fighting. Idiot."

Masato blinked, "How do you guys know about May and Misty's crush's on Ash?"

Brock grinned and pat Tracy on the back, "Trace here is a pokemon watcher, as a born observer, he can see these things. And Gary probably just guessed."

"Hey! I didn't not just guess. It's pretty obvious the girls like Ash, well to everyone but Ash himself that is."

"Ah, Brock and Masato, you made it!" A voice said, interrupting the boy's conversation.

Masato beamed, "Hi Professor! What work did you have planed for all of us?"

Professor Oak smiled and handed the four shovels, "You're going to clean out the Ponyta and Rapadash stables!"

Everyone fell over.

"Have fun boys!"

Brock turned to Masato with a sigh, "I'm starting to think we would have been better off with the girls..."

"Agreed."

May looked up from the TV guide to see Misty opening the front door, "Where are you going?"

"Out to the ocean to do some training."

May raised her eyebrow, "Really?"

"Yup. See ya."

May sat and stared at the door as it closed for a few seconds, before running upstairs to get her bathing suit on.

Misty smiled as she walked out into the sunshine, walked over to the fence and leaned over a little to get a good look at the two working in the garden, "Ash? Mrs. Ketchum?"

"Yes, Misty?" Misty couldn't help but laugh at what she saw, Ash was covered practically head to toe with dirt, which was turning to mud thanks to sweat. While Mrs. Ketchum looked as fresh as the moment she dragged Ash out the door.

"I'm gonna head out and do some training," Misty explained.

"Lucky..." Ash mumbled.

"Fine with me! Just be careful and carry lots of water, it's pretty hot."

"Ok! Bye Mrs. Ketchum!" she grinned evilly, "Have fun Ash!"

"Oh shut up."

Misty giggled as she began walking. She hadn't gone two steps before she heard someone else running up behind her, she groaned and turned around.

"Hey! Wait up!"

"What are you coming for?" Misty asked May impatiently.

"I decided I felt like going for a swim." May explain, crossing her arms.

"Whatever," Misty sighed and kept walking, May on her tail.

As they walked, May began making faces at Misty's back to entertain herself, but that got boring after a while. She sighed, "Misty, why is it taking so long?"

"Because, the beach isn't that close to Ash's house."

May sighed and reluctantly followed. {'Walking is so boring...'} She thought to herself, {'I bet Misty's just leading me out to the middle of nowhere or something... I wouldn't be surprised...'}

"May?"

{'I bet she's been plotting against me this whole time...'}



"Helllo? EARTH TO MAY! DO YOU READ?!"

{'That little...'}

"MAY!!!"

"WHAT?!"

"We're here."

"We Are?" May looked up from her thoughts and gazed at the beautiful coast in front of her. The water glistened as the sun's hot rays beat down on it, Lapras could be heard singing in the distance, while wild Goldeen jumped elegantly out of the water into the cloudless sky.

"Isn't it amazing?" Misty asked, her eyes never leaving the water, "Ash brought Brock and I here the first time we came to Pallet..." She pointed to a large rock just off shore, "Ash almost killed himself for the umpteenth time right there."

Misty sighed wistfully before kicking off her shoes and running onto the sand, grabbing a Pokeball from her bag and tossing it into the sky.

May blinked, "What are you doing? Who are you sending out?"

The red light from the pokeball soon materialized into a small yellow duck, it turned to Misty and grinned, "Psy ay ay!"

Misty sighed, "Meet Psyduck."

May tilted her head to the side and leaned in closer to the Pokemon, "It's kinda cute..."

"Cute...Right." Misty sweatdroped. She picked up the duck and carried it over to the shore, "Anyway, come on Psyduck, time for lessons."

"Lessons?" May blinked, "Lessons for what?"

"Swimming."

May bit her tongue, trying to hold back her giggles, "Your Psyduck, a WATER pokemon, can't SWIM?!"

Misty stopped and spun on her heel to face May, glaring, "Yeah, so?"

"Oh nothing, it's just kind of pathetic."

"PATHETIC?" Misty exclaimed, her eyes flaring, "For your information, MAY, just because my Psyduck can't swim doesn't mean its not powerful!"

"Ha! I'll believe it when I see it!"

"Fine then! I'll show you what Psyduck's REALLY made of!" Misty's eyes flared, "Psyduck, confusion!" She exclaimed pointing at May.

...

"Err...Is something supposed to happen?" May asked, scratching her head.

Misty sweatdroped and glared at the Pokemon, "You dumb duck! I told you to-" Misty's sentence was cut short as her eyes landed on Psyduck's head, where a Weedle was sitting comfortably, starring at her. "Eeep..."

"Huh?" May asked, "What's wrong?"

Misty gulped, she wasn't going to let MAY see her weakness. Who knows what could happen if SHE, of all people, found out that she was scared of bugs.

That thought scared her more then the Weedle did.

"Please leave you ugly, disgusting, little thing..." she mumbled only loud enough for herself and the Weedle to hear.

"Wee?"

"How CUTE!" May, who was how kneeling in the sand so she was eye level with the bug, gushed, "It reminds me of my old Wermple!"

"C-cute?" Misty squeaked.

May giggled and picked the Weedle off of Psyduck's head and twirled with it, stopping to stick the bug in Misty face, "Don't you think it's cute?"

Misty couldn't take it anymore, that, THING was right in her face, staring at her, mocking her, plotting evil, evil ways to make her suffer...she couldn't take it. She broke, "GET IT AWAY!!!" She exclaimed, flying back a few good feet, desperately trying to get away from the Weedle in May's arms.

May blinked and stared at the red head before her face twisted into a taunting, evil grin, "You're afraid of bug pokemon, aren't you Misty?"

Misty gasped, her mouth opening and closing, before she crossed her arms stubbornly across her chest and glared, "No, I am NOT afraid of bugs thank you very much! I was just...surprised...to see it right in my face, that's all."

"Well, if you're not scared of it..." May began, petting it softly. She smirked and shoved the thing into Misty's embrace, "Give it hug!"

Misty's face turned about six different shades of blue. She stared down at the small pokemon in pure horror, until finally it registered that she had a slimy, disgusting BUG touching her. "GET THIS THING OFF OF ME!" She screeched, tossing the Weedle into the air and making it land in a nearby bush.

"I KNEW IT!" May beamed, "I KNEW you were scared of bugs!"

Misty rolled her eyes, "Fine, fine, I'm scared of bugs, you happy?"

"Very!" Misty grinned, before her eyes suddenly turned wide with horror, "Uhhh Misty? I think we're in trouble..."

"What?" Misty asked. She turned slowly behind her where May's shaky finger was pointing and gasped in shock. "Oh...My..."

There, in front of their eyes, was a gigantic swarm of revenge seeking, angry looking Beedrills, hovering over a beat up, also angary looking, Weedle, stingers ready, preparing to lunge.

"What should we do?" May asked Misty desperately.

"What do you think?!" Misty cried, "RUN!"

~*~

"Jessie?"

"Not now James. Can't you see I'm trying to get some beauty rest?"

"Uhh... But Jessie-"

"James! I said leave me alone!"

"But Jessie..."



"FINE! Now that I don't feel like resting anymore, what did you what?!"

"Da tworp and his Mom just went inside." Meowth explained.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?" Jessie exclaimed, grabbing a net and standing up, just in time to see Pikachu and Togetic walk in the back door.

Team Rocket sighed as Jessie sat back down, "Looks like Team Rocket missed the chance again."

"WOOOOOOBBBA!"
