"I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this guys?" Ash said behind a door.
"We don't have all day, and you've worn these before anyways." Chloe argued.
"Those always had a skirt, what happens if someone, you know finds out." Ash said.
"That's why the bottom is shorts, now hurry up." Serena argued.
"Just, go without me." Ash plead.
"This was your idea." Goh pointed out.
"Fine, but for your own safety, I'd recommend you turn around Goh." Ash said.
Exiting the room, Ash had on a floral bikini, his flat stomach and small but pert breasts on display.
"Happy." Ash said.
"Very." Serena said.
"It looks nice." Goh commented.
"Can we just go already?" Chloe whined.
"I'm driving." Serena said eagerly.
"Not in my car." Ash said, taking his keys back. "Last time you used my car, I had to get a new one."
"The tree came out of nowhere!" Serena defended.
"Yeah, things do that when you're going over 100." Chloe said. "I vote for Ash."
"I'd rather not crash into the ocean, so I'll vote Ash too." Goh said.
"I'm not a bad driver!" Serena argued.
"We know, that's the scary part." Ash commented. "Personally I'd prefer taking Pokémon, but we have too much stuff."
The four trainers and their things piled into Ash's car, ready for a day of just relaxation at the beach.
"Hey Ash, I was wondering." Chloe began.
"No, your dad already told me you aren't using my keep for your driving test." Ash said.
"Your dad hasn't said anything though." Chloe said.
"My real dad doesn't know about this car, and if he saw me like this, would probably have a heart attack. Kukui, on the other hand, said that no one else is allowed to drive this anymore." Ash said.
"Maybe we'll see your real one at the beach." Serena joked.
"He freaked when Ash was only wearing those foam paddings. He might go insane seeing Ash in this." Goh said.
"Oh, that'd be great after how he's treated you." Chloe gloated.
"Way to make me feel self conscious again." Ash said as they pulled into a spot.
"Nope, not today." Serena said, stopping Ash from grabbing a shirt. "This was your idea to help after Ashley's doings, so no hiding."
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to enjoy today." Goh said, running towards the beach with some gear.
"Catch up once you're ready." Chloe said, placing a hand on Ash's shoulder.
"I keep telling you, this was a mistake, now let me get a shirt." Ash said, trying to squeeze past.
"It's not a mistake though. You told me you were curious about how far you'd come, and how far you could pass. Now that you have the chance, you're backing out?" Serena said.
"This isn't exactly how I planned to do this." Ash said.
"Ash, I'm with you every step of the way." Serena said. "As much as you pass for a girl, I pass for a guy. Look at me."
"I know but it's different for you." Ash said.
"Ash, I was raised that I had to wear a top to the beach, that's what was normal for me. Now this shirt." Serena said, taking it off. "Is optional, and it freaks me out that someone might say I'm a girl, but with what proof? The opposite is true for you. I see a nervous girl who want to be more confident in her body, but is nervous about the first step. That's why we went to Lavender Town's beaches, because no one would recognize us."
"You're right, I'll try. At least for today." Ash relented.
"Good, and to make sure you don't run away." Serena said with a devilish grin. In a swift motion, she lifted Ash off the ground and over one of her shoulders. "Now let's go to the beach."
"Hey! Haha, put me down!" Ash struggled, trying to break free.
Chloe and Goh were watching the two from a distance enter the beach.
"It's good to see those two happy together again." Chloe said.
"Do you think I should start working out, I know Serena's are weird circumstances caused muscles, but Seb clearly works out." Goh said to no one in particular.
"No, Serena works out. Heavy workouts, but she does still work to keep up the look. Secretly I think Ash likes it as much as Serena likes him looking like that." Chloe smirked. "But I don't think Marnie would mind you having a little muscle, and Seb has no problem sharing his routine. Even Ash and I work to keep fit."
"Not funny." Ash huffed, as he was set down.
"You were laughing, don't deny it." Serena said. "Besides, you look cute when you're trying to be angry."
"No way." Ash said in shock.
"Congrats I said you're cute, why'd that's shocking?" Serena asked.
"No, I'm grateful for that, but that boat out on the water, I think I know whose boat that is." Ash said. "Pikachu, Dracovish, let's check it out." Ash said, running towards the water.
On the boat, below deck
"Okay, logs show the ship sunk nearby, now I just have to find it." Lana said, looking at some charts.
"Lana? I knew it was you!" Ash said running down.
"Ash, what are you doing here?" Lana asked.
"This is Kanto, what are you doing here though? We normally hear from you." Ash said.
"I've been searching for a sunken treasure, and it's supposed to be in this area. It's said to be linked to Milotics." Lana said.
"Well, maybe I can help." Ash offered. "Even get the others involved."
"No! I mean, I don't want to risk anyone else." Lana said unsure of herself.
"Then it'll just be us, if that's what you want." Ash said.
"Thanks Ash, you won't regret this." Lana said, grabbing extra gear.
As they approached their target, a sunken ship, Ash saw something coming at them from the corner of his eye. In an instant Corphish and Buizel were pushing against a Gyarados.
"That's the problem I've been having!" Lana said.
"Go, I'll hold it off." Ash said. "Buizel use sonic boom! Corphish use Vice Grip! Dracovish use Ice Fang!" Ash called out, letting go of Dracovish.
Ash watched as Lana and Primarina swam towards the ship. She better be quick.
"Buizel use Aqua Jet! Corphish use Crabhammer! Dracovish use Fishous Rend!"
The water type attacks while less damaging were more effective, the Gyarados's full attention was away from the ship.
"Alright, follow me." Ash said grabbing hold of Dracovish as it swam by.
In the ship
"Okay Primarina, if I were a treasure, where would I be?" Lana asked as they swam through a hall. "Look, over there!" Lana exclaimed seeing something shimmer in the distance.
Going into the room, she saw the idol. "Perfect, let's get it, and help Ash." Lana said, putting it into a bag.
Meanwhile
"Buizel use Ice Punch! Corphish use Rock Tomb! Dracovish use Ice Fang!" Ash called out.
The combined attacks did enough to scare off the Gyarados as it swam off back towards the ship.
"Lana!" Ash cried out, chasing after the Gyarados, only to see Primarina rocketing towards them.
Back on Lana's boat
"So this is what you've been up too lately." Ash said, looking at other treasures she'd found.
"Yeah, it's fun, but a bit lonely. I meet up with Ida every now and then, but I miss Mallow and the others." Lana sighed.
"Well, I know it's not the same, but my friends and I are at the beach for the day, and you're more than welcome to join us." Ash offered.
"You mean it?" Lana asked hope filled.
"Of course, just don't call me Ashley." Ash said.
"Then what am I supposed to call you when you're dressed like that, most people will ask what Ash is short for." Lana pointed out.
"Not sure yet, just Ashley isn't an option any more." Ash said in a serious tone, as the two went to shore.
The Adventures of the Mysterious Pokémon
"Gahh!" The Pokemon said as he ran into a wall. All of these echoes were making him confused.
"Whoever you are stop this!" The Pokemon said.
"Keke, no it's fun." A Pokemon said as it flew by. "Besides you trespassed into our nest.
"I'm warning you, you don't know who you're dealing with." The Pokemon said, facing a direction opposite where it's target was. "Hello?"
