"A Pokemon Gaining Adventure"
by Mistystuffer
Chapter 13
The next morning they all got up decently early and ate breakfast. Everyone was surprised at how much Nurse Joy ate,
but they found that it's because she needed a lot more energy to burn every day. Not much later, outside... The two
Joys were messing around with the kayaks.
"I can't fit in this thing!" the younger Joy complained.
"Oh come on, if Chansey can fit in, you surely can."
"That's because Chansey doesn't have any legs! My thighs are too big!" Joy yelled, emphasizing by grabbing her own
thighs and wobbling them a bit.
Her cousin crossed her arms over her chest. "You know, for someone who wants to lose weight so badly, you sure have
a negative attitude."
A look of surprise and shock covered Joy's face. "You think I want to be here sweating and working hard??"
"Well, that's why you came, right?"
"No!!! My aunt forced me to go! I didn't want to at all!"
"Oh. Hmm... Well, that's not right. You have the freedom to choose whatever you want to do. Do you want to become a
Pokemon nurse?"
"Well, no, not exactly. That's something she's been trying to make me do also."
"Well, she can force you to come here, but if I refuse to make you work against your will, then too bad for her."
She smiled at her younger cousin.
Joy smiled back. Finally, someone else who understands. Joy walked back inside the house where the other three
were watching TV, Tracey and Ash on one couch and Misty lying on the other.
"I thought you were going out to work with Nurse Joy?" Tracey asked.
"Uh, we've kind of had a misunderstanding all along. She thought it was I who wanted to come here because I wanted to
get into shape. So she just said I should do what I want."
"So, what do we do now?" Ash wondered aloud.
"Well, Joy's aunt isn't expecting her back for about a month... how about we have an all-out vacation here in the
Orange Islands?" Misty suggested.
"Sounds great," Ash agreed.
"Pika!" [Author's Note: I didn't forget him!]
"I can call Captain Maren and tell her we'll be leaving much earlier than we anticipated," said Tracey.
Soon, everyone had packed up, said their goodbyes to Nurse Joy (and apologies from the younger Joy about the whole
mess), and were on their way in Maren's ship.
"Where to now, guys?" Tracey asked.
"I think we should go there where there's a nice beach!" Misty said.
"Yeah that sounds great," Joy added.
"Hey guys, I'm REALLY running low on fuel," Maren told the group, "I need to make a pit stop on Mandarin Island."
But, as the boat was nearing Mandarin, the fuel started to really run out and it slowed down by a little nearby
island. Unbeknownst to all of them, they were being watched by a pair of eyes through binoculars...
"Heh... I knew you'd come back, Misty."
Meanwhile, all the way back up North in Pallet Town...
Delia and Mimie were busy working around the house. There was a knock at the door and Delia decided to go answer
and was shocked at who it was.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't call the police on you."
Jessie was the first to speak, "Uh, we're very sorry about what happened at the restaurant, Mrs.. uh..."
"Ketchum."
"Yeah. Mrs. Katcham."
Delia didn't look amused. "What do you three want?"
"Um, do you know where the twerps are?" James asked.
"We been lookin for dem all day!" Meowth exclaimed.
"If you must know, they're somewhere taking a vacation, a vacation from YOU."
"Oh," Jessie answered sadly, "Did they take Pikachu too?"
"Yes. But by all means, please feel free to search my house, then I'd have even more of a reason to call the police."
"Maybe DEY would, but not me, curiousity killed the Meowth, ya know."
"Be quiet, you little furball," Jessie growled, then turned to Delia, "Are you sure you can't tell us where the twerp--"
"Ahem."
"Where, uh... um..."
"Ash."
"Where Ash is?"
"I told you, they'd rather be left alone. And if you have any sense of decency, you'll go back and clean up what's
left of my restaurant before I sell it."
"You're going to sell it?" James asked, intrigued, "Why?"
"I've been meaning to close it down for a while. It used to be run by my mother, and passed down to me, but now I have
no one to pass it down to myself. Ash is a Pokemon Master, and I don't believe Misty will always be physically fit to
run it."
"But, you say, you're selling this restaurant?...." Jessie asked, even more interested.
"Yes. All the buyer would have to do is spend some extra money on the repairs, and... Well, they'd have a pretty
fine restaurant!"
The three Team Rocket members all exchanged a happy grin...
Back on the island which it's name is presently unmentioned...
Everybody got off the boat. Maren pulled out the map. "Looks like we're on Trovita Island."
The island's name echoed through Misty's head. 'Oh no, I hope we don't run into--'
"Misty, could I borrow your Staryu?" Ash asked.
"What for?"
"We figured someone could swim over to the island on a Pokemon, and I thought Staryu would be best. I think I should
go because you might be a little too heavy."
Rather than getting mad, Misty knew he had a point and tossed Staryu's Pokeball over to him where he caught it. He
released Staryu and after some instructions from Misty to Staryu they headed off.
"I'll be back with the fuel as soon as I can!!" Ash called before he was out of sight.
"Please hurry!!!" Misty urged.
After he was out of sight, Misty thought she heard someone calling to her.
"Misty! Misty!!" a female voice yelled.
"Hi, Mahri!!" [Author's Note: That is the spelling used on the Closed Captioning]
The little girl ran up to Misty, and she bent down to hug her. Mahri was nearly engulfed in the embrace.
"Wow, Misty. You got big!" Mahri noted, excited.
"Uh, yeah," Misty answered, blushing. She then got a really nervous look on her face... "Uh, your brother... isn't
around here, is he?"
"Oh yeah. HEY RUDY!!!! MISTY'S OVER HERE!!!!!!!"
'Damn it!'
Rudy seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "Hi, Misty! It's so great to see you again. We've really missed you. Are
you staying long?"
"Well, we just kinda broke down here. Once Ash returns with the fuel we'll probably keep going."
"Yes... then his voice turned slightly angry, "Ash....," he then noticed Misty was looking at him oddly. "Oh. Um, why
don't you stay for a few days?"
"Well, that's really nice of you, but my friends and I were just hoping on spending some time alone on our vacation."
"Oh, alright," Rudy said, then began the think, 'Sure, I know exactly how to get you to stay here...'
He had already perfectly noticed her new form, which actually fit his tastes, and knew exactly what to do to sway her
to stay.
"Uh, Misty... Fancy a meal?"
"Well, I suppose, I am pretty hungry."
"Alright, just come along to our house then."
After a while, Rudy had prepared a huge feast. There was huge amounts of food, more than the average person could
probably eat in one sitting. Misty sat at one end of the table, and at Rudy's prompting, started to eat. After a
while, Rudy spoke up from the other end of the table.
"You know, Misty, if you stayed here, you could have meals like this every day."
"Yeah, that would be great."
'Yes! She already wants to stay... I knew this would work.'
But, as Rudy continued to repeat things similar to that phrase, Misty caught on that he was trying to tempt her to
stay. Soon she had nearly cleaned out everything on the table, but decided if he wasn't going to quit bothering her
about staying, she'd get him back for it, and asked for more food.
'She may have eaten all of the food in the house, but it will be worth it in the end...' Rudy thought, complying with
all of her food-related requests.
A couple minutes later, Misty wiped her mouth with a napkin and struggled to her feet.
"Well, I'd better go meet my friends. Ash is probably back by now," she said, then giggled, "I don't want them to
leave without me."
"But... but... I thought you had decided to stay here!!" Rudy stuttered.
"Why would I do that, when I can stay with my boyfriend instead?"
"Your boyfriend???"
"Yeah. Ash."
"What??? Why didn't you tell me that?!"
"I guess it never came up," Misty answered innocently.
"And if you're not going to stay, why did you eat ALL of the FOOD?!?!"
Misty shrugged, "Hey, I was offered free food. Who would I be to turn it down?"
"And you said it would be great to stay and eat meals like this every day!!!"
"Yes. I said it WOULD be nice, but I just can't. I love Ash too much to just leave him like that. Besides, I can have
as much food as I want with him anyway. So thanks for the offer, and the food, but I really have to go."
Mahri walked in the door just then but had overheard the conversation. "What? You aren't gonna stay? Didn't you like
the food my big brother made, Misty?"
"Yes, it was great, but I belong with Ash. I hope you can understand, Mahri."
Mahri looked real sad. Rudy looked angry. And Misty was nervous.
"Well, goodbye..." Misty said, then waved and left.
As Misty walked from their house, she could hear a faint 'She ate all of the food!' She just smiled and headed back to
the docks. Sure enough, Ash was back.
"Where've you been, Misty? I was getting worried."
"I'm sorry, Ash. I was just... Taking a walk."
"Heh," Joy said, winking, "I use that excuse a lot too."
Maren spoke up, "Well, the ship's fueled. Let's get going!"
Everyone got on, Ash helping Misty up onto the deck.
"Dang, did you get heavier since this morning?" Ash said, struggling to get Misty on.
Misty blushed. "Uh, no... why would you think that? Heh..."
As the boat sped off towards Mandarin Island, Rudy and Mahri were standing in the kitchen. Rudy glanced around at the
empty shelves and cabinets.
"Mahri, I think we're going to be eating OUT tonight..."
