"A Pokemon Gaining Adventure"
by Mistystuffer
Chapter 9
Yet another two weeks later, Joy had continued her daily strategy of eating with Tracey, causing her to never go hungry.
Her aunt couldn't help but be suspicious, but never said anything. Misty had definitely grown a bit. One day Misty had
returned home from an outing with Ash. Delia watched as she walked by the kitchen and began to up the stairs with a bit
difficulty, huffing and puffing. Ash was next to enter and walked into the kitchen.
"Ash, honey, could I have a talk with you?" Delia asked.
"Sure, Mom. What about?" he inquired, walking over and sitting down at the table across from her.
"Ash, I've noticed recently that Misty has become quite... How can I say it... larger. Now it's all fine with me, but I
need you to promise me one thing."
As was quite perplexed, "What, Mom?"
"If you're going to keep this up with Misty, I need you to promise you'll never leave her; You'll swear to always be by
her side no matter what," she told him, and rather seriously.
"What do you mean?..."
"I don't want you to hurt Misty like... your father..."
"Dad? What does he have to do with it? I've never even met him..."
Delia sighed, "I suppose it's time for you to learn the truth. It all started back when I was around your age... I met
your father around that time, and we immediately fell in love, or so I thought. He treated me like a queen. He loved
taking me out to dinner nearly everyday. Needless to say, it wasn't long before I started putting on a bit of weight,
though I had almost always been a bit chubby. After we were both 16, we rushed into marriage too quickly I guess. And, I
kept putting on more weight, and he kept pampering me, since I rarely did much for myself. Not too much later on, we
conceived you, and I weighed nearly 500 lbs. And then... *sniff* your father left me... With no one else to later help
take care of you, I decided to ultimately lose the weight. In less than a year I somehow managed to get down to 350,
mostly through exercise. And that's why you need to promise me you will stay with Misty. I don't want her to get hurt like
I was."
"Mom, you shouldn't even have to ask," Ash reassured her, "I've known Misty a long time and I love her. And I promise
I'll never ever leave her."
"That's great to hear, honey."
They both hugged and a thought popped into Ash's head.
"Hey, is that why you have all those trophies for the Pallet Town Fair eating contest?"
"Well, like I said, when I was younger I was the undefeated champion," she said, blushing, "And I guess I still am."
Just then, Misty came into the room, clad in a T-shirt and normal shorts. She also had bare feet and her hair was flowing
down around her shoulders.
"Were we still going to watch a movie, Ash?" she asked.
"Sure."
"You can't be going out to Viridian this late, can you?" Delia asked, surprised.
"No, Mom, we were going to watch one on TV."
"Oh. In that case I'll make some popcorn," she said, smiling.
"Thanks Mom."
Ash went into the living room where Misty was already on the couch, Pikachu and Togepi nearby. After Delia was done
popping the popcorn, Ash began popping bits of it into Misty's mouth. Delia watched from some ways away. They reminded
her of when she was young, but these two seemed to have a more promising future ahead of them. After a while, once more,
Misty had fallen asleep at Ash's side. As he did after her birthday party, he fixed her up for sleep on the couch and
made a bed for himself, and made sure the Pokemon were ok. And soon he was asleep also.
The next morning, Misty awoke to find there was some sort of yellow ball on her. Then as everything came into focus, she
realized Pikachu had curled up on her belly after her blanket had fallen off. She would have let it sleep longer, but she
really had to go to the bathroom. She lightly tapped it.
"Hey, Pikachu," Misty whispered.
"Pikachupi..." it moaned.
"I kinda need you to get off, I really need to go to the bathroom."
Pikachu yawned sleepily, "Chaaaa........."
Pikachu just seemed to slide off and down by Ash on the floor. Misty lightly giggled and patted the little Pokemon,
walking off toward the bathroom. She removed the clothes from yesterday that she had just slept in, and changed into
identical clothes except for the color. Surprisingly, her shirt managed to cover all of her. Then she headed for the
kitchen where Delia already was, cooking breakfast.
"Good morning, Misty."
"Good morning, Mrs. Ketchum."
"I'm sorry, all I had left to make for breakfast were pancakes again. I hope you and Ash don't mind."
"I don't know about Ash, but I don't care. I love pancakes."
"Hmm... I can't seem to find the syrup. I'll go check the pantry. Be back in a minute."
After Delia left Misty took a good whiff of the pancake smell. She saw some of the extra batter by the side and was
curious of what it might taste like, so she went over and put her finger in, and took a taste. She loved it, and took some
more. Very quickly and without even noticing, she had eaten nearly all of it. She heard Delia coming and quickly sat down.
As Delia placed the maple syrup on the table, she noticed the pancake batter and picked it up.
"I thought I made more," she questioned out loud, "Hmm... Oh well."
She just got out another box and made another batch, pleasing Misty. Soon afterward, the smell of pancakes awoke Ash and
the two slumbering Pokemon.
After everyone had finished breakfast (Misty not being satisfied in the least), Ash decided he'd like to go do some
Pokemon training since he had been slacking off recently. He wanted to go out to the mountains nearby so Misty agreed
she'd stay home since she didn't want to walk that far. After Ash had left, Delia was about to go as well.
"Well I'm off to work. Bye, dear."
Misty answered while sitting on the couch, playing with Togepi.
"Goodbye Mrs. Ketchum. See you later."
After everyone was gone, Misty found herself rather bored.
'Great. There's nothing good on TV, nobody's home, and I'm dying of boredom,' Misty thought, 'I know, I'll call Joy. Maybe
she's at the Pokemon Center.'
She knew this was one of the days Joy had off but she may still be hanging around the Pokemon Center anyway.
*Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, Phone Call, Phone Call*
Joy answered the annoying video-phone, but it wasn't the specific Joy that Misty was expecting.
"Hello?" Aunt Joy answered, picking up the reciever, "Pallet Town Pokemon Center, this is Joy speaking."
"Hi. Is your niece there? I'm one of her friends, Misty."
"I remember you, as a matter of fact, she's..."
Joy just then got a glimpse of a good part of Misty in the video monitor.
"Uh, as a matter of fact she's unavailable, I'm sorry, goodbye," Joy said quickly, then hung up.
"That was odd...," Misty said.
Back at the Pokemon Center...
"Joy, I was just talking to one of your friends, Misty, and I think I see where you've been getting your new bad eating
habits from. I think she may be a bad influence on you."
"But.. I..."
"You know what? I think we'd be better off if I canceled that snack machine we're having delivered. This a Pokemon
hospital, not a restaurant."
"What!? You can't!"
"I can and will." She walked over to a normal phone and dialed up the number of the vending machine company. "Hello. This
is Joy from the Pallet Town Pokemon Center. I'd like to cancel the order we placed. Yes. Thank you. Bye." She hung up and
walked out of the room.
'She thinks she got me, but the joke's on her. Hehehe.' Joy picked up the reciever and pressed redial. "Hi, this is Joy
calling again, please ignore what I just said, I'd still like to order the snack machine plus an additional one. Yes.
Thank you. Bye."
She hung up. She didn't need to disguise her voice in the call because all Joys usually sound the same.
Meanwhile, Misty was taking a walk down the neighborhood, and getting quite worn out. Even the squealing Togepi in her
arms felt heavy. She moved off the sidewalk area a bit and sat down in the shade beneath a large tree, wiping a bit of
sweat from her forehead.
"I'm starved. How bout you, Togepi?"
"Togebriiiii!"
"I thought so," she said back, merely assuming that was a 'yes'.
Misty pulled out a couple sandwiches from her pocket which she brought along, and ate them while also tearing off little
bits for the egg to eat. After they were finished, Togepi got bored and starting mindlessly walking around the area,
going nowhere in particular.
Misty sighed, "I wish there was more to do today. And I'm still hungry.
Togepi walked up and playfully poked the side of her large, squishy stomach.
"Well duh! I know! It's nearly noon, I'll go visit Mrs. Ketchum and get something to eat!"
It wasn't much later when Misty & Togepi arrived at Delia's restaurant. [Author's Note: She DOES really have a restaurant
in the anime]
"Hi Mrs. K!" Misty greeted, walking in the door.
"Hello, Misty dear!"
"So, how's business today?"
"Decent. Did you stop by for something to eat?"
"Sure did! Unfortunately, I'm a bit short on cash."
"Well of course I could never charge you. Have whatever you want on the house."
"Really? Well, I guess nothing too fancy, how bout just some burgers and fries?"
"Sure! I'm cooking up some right now as a matter of fact."
"Thanks!"
She carried Togepi over to a table where she sat down to wait. Well, today hasn't been so boring for Misty after all.
