Chapter 3: Professor Oak's lab & the beginning of the challenge
One Step towards Love, Two Steps Back
The Road to Prof. Oak's lab
While the group traveled down the road to Oak's Lab, Misty & May where glaring at each other every so often, but still talked to each other.
"So May, what's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?" Misty asked the young girl with a slight smile on her face. "Well it's a tie between either being a total goof when I first got my Torchic or when I ran outside naked screaming my head off cause Max had tricked me with a rubber spider" May said as she blushed softly "Now what about you Misty?"
"Well, I'd have to say that when I was about 10 & was at the public pool cause my parents wouldn't let me in the Gym's pool. I was jumping off the side of the pool doing fine, but I did a head dive & I was wearing a bikini at this point, but when I got out of the pool, everybody was laughing at me & soon I finally realized that I wasn't wearing my bikini bottom." Misty said as she blushed while looking down.
As the girls continued to talk & glare at each other every so often, Max & Ash were talking up ahead.
"So Ash what do you think they are talking about?" Max said as he put his hands behind his head & closed his eyes as he continued walking ahead next to Ash. "Probably some girly stuff like Makeup, hair, jewelry & probably boys" Ash said as he shook his head.
"Heh, I bet they're talking about you Ash." Max said as he tapped Ash's side with his elbow while grinning & winking at Ash. "Oh come on Max, why would they talk about me? I'm not really boyfriend material." Ash said as he blushed a deep red. "Yes you are Ash, May talks about you all the time, even in her Diary" Max said as he looked at Ash.
"You read your sister's Diary?" Ash said as he looked at him. "Yeah, but not that often" Max said as he went back to his position from earlier "But I do have one question for you Ash: Do you like my sister?"
"Uhh, hey look it's Professor Oak's place, Max. I'll race you there" Ash said as he tried quickly changing the subject & started running quickly. "Hey Ash, get back here." Max said as he took off after him.
Soon the group got there as Ash waited for them at the gate while looking up at the sky humming peacefully with a small smile on his face.
"Why did you run of Ash?" May asked him wondering. "Well I just wanted to get here quickly, but I decided to wait for you guys to catch." Ash said as he stood up & opened the gate & started walking in & started his climb up the 100 stairs (how many stairs does this guy need? . '. ok back to the story.) Soon the group got to the front door while Ash & Misty where fine, Max & May were panting from the long trek up the stairs.
"Pant pant Ash how many stairs does one Professor need?" May asked as she fell to her knees & tries catching her breath, while Max just sat on his butt & did the same.
"Dunno really, but I can't wait to see my other pokemon." Ash said as he grinned & pushed the doorbell to Prof. Oak's lab & soon the door was answered by none other then Tracy.
"Oh hey Ash, come on in. Professor Oak said that you might be dropping by." Tracy said as he led the group in "Hey Pikachu, how are you doing?"
"Pikachu, pi, pika, ka, chu, chu, kachu. Pikachu" Pikachu said as he smiled & gave a thumbs up at Tracy.
"You sound like your fine Pikachu." Tracy said "Oh Ash, if you need Professor Oak he's by the stables feeding the Ponyta's ok?"
"All right, Tracy, thanks" Ash said as he started walking out the door to the HUGE backyard filled with Pokemon & Ash smiled as he decided to let his Pokemon out.
"Ok, everybody come on out!" Ash said as he released Swellow, Grovyle, Corpish, and Torkoal. "Ok everybody, why don't you go out & enjoy yourselves ok?"
His pokemon nodded as Swellow fly off to the forest while his Grovyle & Torkoal went into the same direction & his Corpish scuttled off to the small Lake nearby.
"Hey, Ash that's not a bad Idea. Ok everybody come on out" May said as she released her Combusken, Beautifly, Skitty & Bulbasaur. "Go look around ok & have fun", and with that her Pokemon went off to look around & relax like Ash's Pokemon.
"WOW! This is amazing, look at all the pokemon" Max said as he started running around looking at the all the Pokemon that was around & he could see.
"Bay! Bay! Bayleef!" said a pokemon which made the group turn around & sees Ash's Bayleef running towards him & tackle him to the ground & nuzzle his cheek
"Hehe, hey Bayleef how are you doing?" Ash said while laughing & soon Bayleef got off of him.
"Bay, bay, Bayleef" Bayleef said as she smiled at Ash & went off to get Ash's other pokemon, but two Pokemon where near Ash because they were at the small lake.
"Toto, toto, Totodile." Ash's Totodile said as he danced over to Ash while Kingler also did the same.
"Hey Totodile, Kingler. How are you two doing?" Ash said as he squatted down to their level. To answer his Question, Totodile continued dancing while Kingler just pinched his claws.
"Aww, Totodile's so cute." May said as she pulled out her Pokedex & scanned Totodile with it.
'Totodile, the Big Jaw Pokemon. This Pokemon's well-developed Jaws will bite any moving object that it sees." Dex said as the recording finished.
"Wow, this Pokemon's so cool." Max said as he looked at it.
"Yeah & one time, when Ash, Brock & Me where traveling along in Johto, me & Ash fought over who caught & we had to battle to see who would keep it." Misty said as she remembered that time "Ash won in the end, but I got a better Prize. My Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl."
"Yeah & then later on in Johto, Poliwhirl evolved into Politoed cause of my kings rock" Ash said as he smiled at Misty softly which made her blush. "But come on you guys, let's go see Professor Oak ok?"
"All right Ash, I'm coming." May said as she got up & started to follow him smiling softly.
"Wait, I'm coming too." Misty said as she got up & followed Ash & May.
"I think I'm going to stay here & look at all the Pokemon ok?" Max said as he didn't even look up, but he was allowed too.
The Stables
"Hey Professor!" Ash said as he walked over to him
"Hmm? Oh hello Ash, Misty, May. How are you today?" Oak said as he patted a Ponyta
"We're fine." May said as she smiled at him
"What did you want, Professor?" Ash said as he looked at Oak
"Well, I was hoping that since Gary is gone & Tracy's busy inside that you could clean out the Stables?" Oak asked Ash & co.
"Uhh, sure Professor." Ash said slowly, but Misty & May had different Ideas.
"Eww, no way!" Misty & May said at the same time
"Oh come on you guys, I can't do it all alone." Ash said/begged them
"Fine Ash, I will" May said while sighing as she walked forward to find a shovel while Misty just stood there frozen with fear & disgust
"Thanks May." Ash said as he hugged her in thanks & walked behind the stables & started picking up the poop with the shovel while Misty just huffed & walked with a red angry face
"No problem, Ash. Anything for a friend" May said with a chipper smile, but it was instantly lost when she started picking up the poop with her shovel "I'm going to need a long hot shower, just to get rid of this smell later."
"Haha, okay May. You get the shower first." Ash said as he continued
'Hehe, I got the first challenge Misty.' May thought to herself
Somewhere else on Professor Oak's Estate
"Ooohh, that little witch!!" Misty said as she clenched her fists angrily while stomping the ground
"Hey Misty, what's wrong?" Tracy said as he came out of the forest from checking on the Insect pokemon
"Nothing Tracy." Misty said as she sighed while looking down sadly
"Misty, there's something wrong & I can see it, so please tell me" Tracy said as he looked at his friend
"Well, it's just that I'm mad at a person for trying to take a guy I like ok?" Misty said as she slowly looked up at Tracy while blushing.
"Oh who's the lucky guy?" Tracy said as he blushed softly thinking it's him.
"I really don't want to say ok Tracy?" Misty said as she blushed deeper
"Oh, ok then Misty." Tracy said as he went scarlet, but gulped as he leaned across & kissed Misty's cheek before walking away to another part of the estate
With Pikachu
(Ok people, I don't feel like typing the words all right?)
Pikachu hummed happily as he walked through the grasses of the estate, but stopped soon cause he saw Ash's 30 Tauros's stampeding down the hills & quickly moved aside to avoid getting hit, but hit a familiar Pokemon
"Hmm, Pikachu is that you?" the pokemon asked him
"Huh? Bulbasaur? Hey Bulbasaur how you doin'?" Pikachu asked him
"Oh, tryin' to protect the land from breaking out into war, but fine all the same. So how are you doing?" Bulbasaur asked him
"Well I'm doing fine really. Ash won the Hoenn League if your wondering about that" Pikachu said as he walked along Bulbasaur smiling softly "Hey look it's Grovyle. Hey Grovyle"
"Hmm, Hey Pikachu who's that?" Grovyle said as he walked over to him
"This is Bulbasaur, Ash's first grass Pokemon" Pikachu said as he introduced them to one another.
"Pleased to meet you, Grovyle" Bulbasaur said as it extended a vine. "Likewise Bulbasaur."
"PIKACHU!!!!!!!!!!" a group of pokemon said as they ran over to him.
"Hmm? Hey look it's Noctowl, Heracross, Muk, Cyndaquil, & Totodile" Pikachu said as they all arrived there "how's it going everybody?"
"Good, fine, excellent, couldn't be better, Righteous" the group said as they answered Pikachu's question
"Guys this is Grovyle" Pikachu said as he introduced them to him, which Grovyle said hello back to him,
"Hey Pikachu, Grovyle!" said another group while coming over there
"Guys, that's Swellow & Torkoal, but it seems Corpish is missing from the group, probably enjoying himself, but where?" Grovyle said
"He's probably at the lake with Kingler" Totodile said, but started dancing.
"Uhh...." Pikachu said as he shook his head at his friend's antics, but waved to the others
"So what's up Pikachu?" Swellow asked Pikachu when he landed
"Not much just seein' some friends of mine" Pikachu said as he introduced Swellow & Torkoal to the group, which Torkoal gave them his usual smokescreen greeting "Don't worry about that guys, that's just how he greets people."
"So you guys wanna go for a walk around & see the sights?" Bulbasaur said as he started walking & the group followed except Noctowl & Swellow who took off for the trees to talk
Back at the Stables
"Thanks May for all your help" Ash said as he sighed when they finally finished
"No Problem Ash." May said while smiling
"Hey look it's my other Pokemon" Ash said as he pointed out to his pokemon & started running out there, but yelped as he tripped & fell face first into a pile of Ponyta poop & got up spitting it out "Gross!!"
"Hey Ash, you got a little something on your face" May said in between giggles, but started laughing out loud which attracted the group & they laughed when they saw Ash's face
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Ash said as he got up "Hey Totodile, could you water gun my face please?"
Totodile nodded his & watergunned him to clean off his face which made him fly off & land in mud which had Donphan in it trying to cool off with it & he yelped as he started running quickly which made May & the pokemon laugh even more
Soon Ash came back sighing & Totodile watergunned him again but kept the pressure low so he doesn't make Ash go flying again
"Thanks Totodile" Ash said as he looked at his Pokemon "So Pikachu, do you want to stay here with the others tonight?"
"Pika, Pi, Kachu, Pikachu, chu, chu, ka" Pikachu said as he nodded his head
"What about you Grovyle?" Ash said as he looked at his grass pokemon & he did the same as Pikachu. "Okay then, can you tell the other Pokemon when you see them that they are staying there tonight?"
Pikachu nodded his head as the group walked with the group
"Thanks Pikachu" Ash said as he walked off with May
"Hey Ash, I need to find my Pokemon ok?" May said, as she looked him
"Okay then May" Ash said as he followed May to look for her Pokemon & soon they gathered them up & soon they met up with Max & Misty
"Heh, May you smell like a horse butt" Max said as he sniffed & laughed
"OOHHH!! MAX THAT'S IT!!!!" May said as she pulled out her mallet & began chasing Max with it once again
"I'm sorry May, I'm really sorry" Max said as he ran as quick as he could away from his sister's mighty mallet
Ash & Misty laughed slightly as they watched the scene, which soon stopped, & the group left Oak's place while saying their good bye's to Professor Oak.
After Dinner at Ash's House
"You feeling better May?" Misty asked May as she came out of the bathroom in a towel
"Yeah, I feel clean now & I don't smell. Yay! " May said as she smiled at Misty
"Well May, the score is 1-0 & 6 days to go." Misty said as she looked at May with a slight glare which May didn't notice cause she was getting in her PJ's
"Yep, hey Misty how about tomorrow, You, Ash & Me go to the mall?" May asked her "We can see who looks better in Ash's eyes, ok?"
"All right then, how about around 1?" Misty asked her rival for Ash
"Okay then Misty, your on" May said as she crawled into the bed that she & Misty where sharing since it was King size & turned over to look outside
