"A Pokemon Gaining Adventure"

Chapter 6
Ash and Misty sat down for breakfast in the kitchen to a large stack of delicious pancakes.
"Here, Honey, I thought you might be interested in this," Delia said, handing Ash a flier.
"'Pallet Town Annual Fun Fair'," Ash read aloutd, "Sounds great. You wanna go, Misty?"
"Sure, I love fairs," she answered with her mouth full.
"We can invite Tracey and Joy to come too," Ash suggested.
"What time does the fair start?"
"Mmm...... 3:00pm," Ash answered, examining the flier, "What should we do before then?"
"We could see a movie."
"Ok, that's a good plan."
After lunch that day, and after talking to Tracey and Joy, Delia drove Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Togepi over to a
theater in Viridian City. Pikachu and Togepi shared a small bag of popcorn, Ash also sharing an extra large tub of
popcorn with Misty, who had her fingers and mouth soaked in butter the whole time. Delia picked them up shortly
before the fair and they walked over to the lab to meet up with Tracey and Joy. They were soon at the fair.
"Wow," Ash said, "I haven't been here for years."
Misty and Joy were having just as much fun smelling all the delightful aromas in the air.
"Mmm. Hotdogs!" Misty said.
"Caramel apples!" squealed Joy.
"Ooh can we have some money please please please?!" Misty & Joy both begged simulaneously.
Ash and Tracey gave in to the two giddy girls and gave them some money. They came back with many treats and both
were munching on their own large tuft of cotton candy. After a half hour they were all walking by a stage.
A guy on a stage was talking through a bullhorn. "Attention! The eating contest is beginning in ten minutes! I
repeat, the eating contest is beginning in ten minutes!"
"Oh Ash, did you hear that?" Misty asked.
"Yes!! It was loud enough..."
"An eating contest!" Misty exclaimed, "I'm going to enter!!"
"Me too!" said Joy.
"We better go get signed up."
Misty and Joy headed off to go sign up for the eating contest. After less than a minute they returned.
"All we have to do is show up in less than ten minutes," Misty said.
"Who do you think is gonna win?" Ash whispered to Tracey.
"I am!" both Misty and Joy yelled, then turned to each other, "You?!"
"Well we all know I'm the bigger eater," Misty said, for the first time in her life acting proud of it.
"Well I have a bigger appetite."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
Ash and Tracey sweatdropped and stepped between them.
"Hey, hey, this is supposed to be a friendly competition," Tracey said.
"Besides, you don't even know who else you're up against yet," Ash added.
"I suppose you're right...," Misty said, somewhat disappointed.
After the bit of time rolled by the contest was just about to begin. There were already five competitors. Misty, Joy,
two guys, and another girl.
"Alright," the announcer began, "The judges will keep track of the amount of food each of you eat. The last
competitor remaining that has eaten the most will be declared the winner. Hm?" Someone came up to the stage and
whispered something in the announcers ear, "Oh, it seems we have a last minute contestant! This is her first time
here in many years, the undefeated eating contest champion!"
She then stepped up onto the stage.
Misty gasped, "Oh my gosh..."
Tracey was shocked as well, Ash let out his trademark "Waa?!" and Pikachu yelled a mere, "Pika!"
"Delia Ketchum!" the announcer stated.
People in the crowd that knew of Delia's winning streak cheered.
"Oh my....," Delia said, blushing.
She went and sat down across from Misty.
"Mrs. Ketchum, I didn't know that you were going to enter...," said Misty.
"Of course you didn't, dear...," Delia said kindly, but then her voice turned stern, "Now are you ready to lose?"
"Wha??" Misty let out, startled.
The table was set.
The announcer cried, "Alright, ready, set, eat!"
All of the contestants dug into the fresh pies set before them. In no time at all Misty and Delia had each
finished one off, Joy not far behind, and started on new ones. Soon after five minutes, one of the guys dropped
out. Everyone continued, Misty, Joy, and Delia happily inhaled anything set before them. Soon the other girl
dropped out. Joy was getting quite nervous of the remaining boy, who was eating just as much as they had, but
kept her determination up. The three ate until the boy dropped out too. Now it was just Delia, Misty, and Joy.
Ash wasn't sure who to be cheering for. They had already started on the ice cream which Misty sucked down as
if it was nothing. Surprisingly, Delia was totally in the lead. Joy, after finishing yet another pie, her 6th,
gave up. The stress on her stomach was too great and she slowly made her way off the stage and over to Ash and
Tracey. After another short while, Misty was shocked to realize she was slowing down. She slopped another scoop
of ice cream in her mouth. Delia, however, didn't seem to be slowing one bit. She was still eating the hamburgers
that were laid out moments ago. Misty was very full and was getting really drowsy. She scooped the last bit of
ice cream from the gallon. Some ice cream was still smeared around her lips.
"I...... give...... up.....," she said drowsily, then groaned and laid her head on the table.
The announcer stepped up. "Well, I guess this makes the winner Delia, the still-undefeated champion!!!"
Delia managed to pull herself up on her feet and lightly smiled to the crowd.
"And here's your trophy!!!" he said, handing her the award.
"Thank you..." she replied.
Ash, Tracey, Joy, and the Pokemon had already got up on stage. Ash walked over to Misty and placed his hand on
her shoulder.
"Misty?" he said quietly, "Misty!..."
"I'm sorry, Ash.....," Misty whispered.
"Oh Misty....," Ash said, then turned to Tracey, "She would've won if my mom hadn't entered."
"Well how were we to know?" said Tracey, "I didn't even know your mom could eat that much."
"Come on, Misty," Ash said, helping Misty up on her feet.
Somehow he was able to help walk her home and Tracey and Joy also departed along the way. He helped her to his
room and she laid down on the bed, passing out almost instantly. Ash smiled at her.
"You did the best you could. Now you need your rest."
In her sleep Misty seemed to smile and placed her hands on her overly-full belly. Ash kissed her and left the
room. He wondered if his mom was home yet. He walked downstairs to find her opening the closet door.
"Hi, mom," Ash greeted.
"Oh, hi, honey," she answered cheerfully, placing her new trophy in the closet alongside several nearly identical ones.
"Are those?...." Ash began.
"Yes, those are the trophies I won in the contest when I was younger."
"Oh. I didn't know you could, well, eat so much, mom."
"Oh, you have no idea..." she answered, giggling and blushing a bit.
"Huh?..."
"Pikachu!!" the little mouse Pokemon squeaked.
"Oh man we must've forgot to feed you two!" Ash realized, "Hold on, Pikachu, Togepi."
"Togeprrrriiiiii!!!"
After the two hungry Pokemon had feasted on their poke-chow, Ash got ready for bed. After he entered his room he
placed the tired Togepi by it's mother and covered them both up, and Pikachu curled up by his own bed that was
made on the floor.
"Goodnight, Pikachu, Togepi..... Misty."
