Run Away!
Chapter 3: A Night On The Town.
David woke up in the dark. He groaned as he started to feel a sharp pain on the side of his head. It felt like someone had set a swarm of psychotic woodpeckers on him. The last thing he remembered was being cornered by Misty in the mall. As his eyes adjusted to the dark, David saw that someone was standing in front of him. David squinted to see if he could make out who it was. When he couldn't he asked, "Who are you?" The person responded in a familiar voice. "Isn't it obvious David?"
David thought for a moment and then realized who it was. "Professor Oak?!"
"Maybe."
"What do you want with me?"
"Didn't I tell you earlier?"
"Misty said that she needed me to help her make Ash become her boyfriend, but I don't remember you talking to me. I haven't seen you for over a month."
"But you saw me yesterday when I trapped you in that store."
"Wait.... YOU'RE MISTY?!"
A light was turned on and David saw Misty standing in front of him with a little gray box in front of her mouth. Misty smiled impishly and spoke into the box. "I sure fooled you, didn't I David? This voice box lets me sound like Professor Oak, or anyone else for that matter."
"What do you want with me?"
Misty told him her plan. David started to frown, apparently deep in thought. Then he looked at her and said, "It goes against everything I stand for, but I must admit, that's a very ingenious plan!" But where do I fit in?"
Misty held a bag in front of him and opened it up. David looked into it and turn as white as humanly possible. He stared in disbelief for a few seconds then muttered, "You're crazy in thinking I'll do that."
Misty grinned and said, "You'd better. Or else."
"Or else what?"
Misty pulled out her mallet from behind her back and started to swing it while David yelled, "HEY! WHERE'D THAT MALLET COME FR......." He was cut off because the mallet collided with his skull and caused him to him to black out again. When he came to, he felt like his head was about to explode with pain. He sighed then looked at Misty and said, "Fine. I...I'll do it. Just don't hit me with th..that mallet again. Please."
Misty smiled and said, "Good. I'll be back tomorrow." With that she turned around, walked to the door, turned out the lights, and left.
Ash looked away from the T.V. when he heard Misty walk in the door. She walked into the room and sat down on the couch next to him. He immediately started to think of excuses to escape. Before he could say any of the though, Misty looked at him and started talking. "Ash, about what I said yesterday, I just wanted to tell you that I had had too much coffee and wasn't thinking clearly. So I didn't really mean what I said." Ash felt like doing some cartwheels when Misty said, "I was thought maybe I could take you to see that movie you wanted to see as a way of saying I'm sorry." By the time she finished speaking, Ash had gotten up, run from the room, grabbed the paper, run back, opened the paper to the movie listings, and found out when the earliest showing of Staryu Wars: Episode II Attack Of The Dittos was. "Misty. It says here the earliest screening is at 8:00 tonight! It's six o' clock right now. So do you want to grab dinner at Kentucky Fried Pidgey and then go and see it?" Misty smiled and nodded. Ash smiled back. "C'mon Misty let's go!" Ash darted out the door with Misty close at his heels. Misty smiled. "Everything's going according to plan!" she thought while following Ash.
After dinner, they made their way to the movie theater. When they arrived, Misty handed Ash some money and said, "Here Ash. I'll get the tickets while you get the snacks." Ash walked over to the concession stand and Misty walked up to the ticket booth. She looked at the women behind the counter and said, "Two adult tickets for Resident Eevee please." She handed the women the money, took the tickets, and walked over to Ash. He was currently trying to balance a tower of swaying candy, popcorn, and sodas. "Gee Ash, you got enough food to feed all of Pallet Town!" He smiled and said, "The prices were so low I had to stock up!" They made their way into the theater and sat down. Misty watched as her plan started to take effect. She knew that Ash would eat anything he could get his hands when it came to food. That's why she gave him such a large amount of money. She watched Ash inhale all of the food in front of him. Before the trailers started, Ash had consumed all of the food and was now too bloated to move. Plus, she noticed that they were the only people in the theater. Perfect. As the trailers ended and the title screen appeared Ash said, "HEY! This isn't Staryu Wars! I don't want to see Resident Eevee! If I could move right now, you'd be in so much trouble Misty!" Misty smiled. "Sorry Ash. I must have gotten the theaters mixed up. By the way, are you sure you can't move?"
"Positive."
"Okay then. I guess we'll just have to watch this movie then."
"I guess you're right."
As they watched the movie, Ash wished more and more that he could move. Every time the movie got even a little scary, Misty would lean against Ash pretending that she was scared. When there were really scary scenes, she would jump into his lap and snuggle against his chest in mock terror. He was extremely happy when the movie was nearing the end. Then his heart plummeted as he realized that the two main characters, a boy and a girl, having defeated all the zombie eevee's, and having told each other how they feel about each other, were about to kiss. He watched in terror as they kissed and then he heard Misty say, "Oh Ash, isn't that romantic? It makes me want to kiss you!" With that, she started leaning in towards him. She closed her eyes, puckered her lips, and started to make her move. Ash seemed to have a sudden burst of energy, or maybe it was just gas from all the baked beans he had with dinner. Anyway, he stuttered that he had to go to the bathroom and ran off. Misty sighed. She knew Ash wasn't coming back, so she got up and left the theater.
Ash picked up Pikachu from Professor Oak's and ran home with Pikachu close behind. He ran inside, ran up to his room, and was about to lock the door when he heard the phone ring. He dashed downstairs, picked up the phone, and said, "Hello?"
"Hello Ash. It's Professor Oak. I wanted to let you know I'm going to be out of town tomorrow so I won't be able to watch your Pikachu."
"That's okay Professor. I hope you have a safe trip."
"Goodbye Ash."
"Bye." Ash hung up the phone and walked upstairs.
Misty walked away from the pay phone smiling. She took off the gray voice box and put it in her pocket. "Now to get home and complete Phase Two of my brilliant plan."
Ash walked into his bedroom and changed into his pajamas. He read Trainers Monthly for a while until he heard Misty come into the house. He turned of his light, got in bed, and pretended to go to sleep. "Ash. Where are you?" He heard Misty walking through the house looking for him. He heard her come upstairs and walk to the bathroom. "Whew! I thought for a second there she was going to come in here. She's probably just changing into her pajamas." Ash thought to himself. He heard Misty leave the bathroom. He smiled. It was going to be okay after all. Then he heard the doorknob turning. He turned white as he realized he had forgotten to lock his door and that Pikachu was downstairs! Misty opened the door and crept into his room. He pretended to be asleep as she walked over to his bed. She started shaking him. "Ash! Wake up! C'mon Ash! Wake up already!" She left the room and Ash sigh in relief on the inside.
SPLASH!
He shot up as he felt cold water roll down his face. Misty was standing there with an empty cup in her hands. "She must have gotten some cold water and dumped it on my face." Thought Ash. He pretty much stated the obvious, but now anyone who didn't realize what the cup was for knows what it was for. Misty jumped on top of him and pinned him down. "I have you now Ash!"
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"
"There's no one who can save you now Ash! Now pucker up!" She puckered her lips and started to lean forward. Her face was only millimeters from his when all of a sudden....
"PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!"
Hundred's of volts of electricity surged through Misty and Ash. While Pikachu's shock was very painful, it no doubt saved him from the alternative. Ash pushed Misty off of him, grabbed her by the arm, pushed her out into the hallway, slammed the door in her face, and locked it with an audible 'CLICK'. Ash sighed and said, "Thanks Pikachu! I owe you one! By the way, you're sleeping in my room tonight. Why don't you take the top bunk? I don't want Misty to get in and try that again!"
Misty walked back to the guest room, sat down on the bed, and smiled. "Everything's going according to plan. Tomorrow I'll begin the third and final phase of Operation: Stupid Cupid! You will be mine Ash Ketchum. There's no one or thing that can stop me now!" And with that she turned out the light, got in bed, and fell asleep while still smiling.
Chameleon Freak: Ooooooooh. Things are starting to heat up! Anyway, today's guest is none other than Pikachu! So everyone at home can understand what Pikachu's saying, I'll turn on my handy dandy Pokemon Translator 2001 Transmogrified Special Edition with THZ Surround Sound, twenty nine Subwoofers, and a built in refrigerator with those tiny little hot dogs! Anywho, welcome to Inside The Authors Studio Pikachu!
Pikachu: I'm glad to be here Mr. Freak. I want to start out by thanking you for putting me in the story.
Chameleon Freak: You're very welcome Pikachu! Now, do you have ant questions for me?
Pikachu: Yes I do. First of all, I'd like to ask you a question that has plagued me since the start of this fanfic.
Chameleon Freak: What is it?
Pikachu: Is your refrigerator running?
Chameleon Freak: Aha Ha. No. Seriously. What's your question?
Pikachu: The only question I have for you is this, Am I going to be the only Pokemon to appear in this fanfic?
Chameleon Freak: Yes you are. You're the only Pokemon that really is necessary in this fanfic.
Pikachu: You mean I'm The only Pokemon that matters?!
Chameleon Freak: As a matter of fact, yes.
Pikachu: HOW CAN YOU BE SUCH AN INSENSITIVE JERK?! ALL POKEMON MATTER! I GUESS YOU'RE JUST TOO STUPID TO SEE THAT! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I USED SUCH A POWERFUL THUNDERBOLT ON YOU THAT I KNOCKED YOU UNCONSIOUS AND THEN I WROTE THE STORY AND FEATURED EVERY POKEMON IN IT?! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL THEN?!
Chameleon Freak: This 'I'm going to render you unconscious and write the story the way I want it' thing is getting old fast. Is it too much to ask for you all to just accept that I have a reason for everything? Anyway, END OF DISCUSSION!
