A Jewel In Water
Part 7A/N: - means new paragraph. It doesn't seem to show the new paragraphs in my previous chapters, which is extremely annoying. But desperate times call for desperate measures ;) Sorry if any of these gay references offend you! I am trying not to cross that line but please tell me if I do!
"Surprise!" called someone behind Ash.
"Brock. How predictable." Ash sighed.
"I know right? If you hadn't called me, then I wouldn't have been put on the spot. I could have totally surprised you.
"Right come on then. Now that you're here, you have to tell me about the plan. And you have to do it fast. Who knows when me and Misty will meet again." He dragged Brock into the castle and up to his room. He made sure that the door was shut, and that all his Pokémon were in the Pokémon Paradise. He turned around to face Brock who was sitting on the chairs next to his bed and took a deep breath.
"Ok. Tell me. What's the plan?"
Elliot was running across the castle now, looking for someone that he could tell his joke to, and who could help him in stopping Rudy from finding out and getting rid of the marks. As he skid across the ground hall, he found Kenny and Dawn in the Royal Library, not exactly being quiet.
"You know my Empoleon is so much more powerful than your tiny Piplup." Kenny exclaimed.
"Yes it is Kenny! God!"
"Look DeeDee, if this was a cuteness competition then Piplup would win, hands down. But seriously. One body slam from Empoleon could crush Piplup, and make it into soup. Elliot quickly cut in. It was doing a favour for them all probably.
"Uh, hey guys…" Elliot said. He wasn't sure how to approach these two. He didn't really want to peel them away from each other, but this was a more important cause.
"Oh hey." Said Dawn, hesitantly.
"Elliot right? What's up?" Kenny asked.
"Well, I don't know if you would be willing, but I really need some help with this. I just thought it would be funny, and a good way to pass the day, so you don't have to help me if you don't want to, but…"
"Well what is it?" Kenny asked both intrigued and excited.
"Actually, its…"
May was strolling out in the Royal Gardens, trying to forget everything that was going on around her, but that was short lived when she heard a roar of laughter from the nearby building. She looked through the window, to find a sheepish Elliot, trying not to laugh too much as the two lovebirds were laughing so much that they were crying. She knocked on the window, which made them all turn around and look at her. Kenny's face was full of excitement and he looked like he was about to wet himself with glee. He swung open the window, ready to spill everything to May, who, at this point, was utterly confused. She looked at Elliot, who had an all knowing look on his face, as he smirked at her, and Dawn who collapsed over the window frame trying to get her breath back.
"May. This guy is a flipping genius. He is amazing." Kenny laughed. Dawn suddenly got up.
"Oh my god. I have to see what he looks like! Where is he?" she cried. May looked at them both.
"Could you kindly explain to me what is so funny? What do you need to see?" she looked pleadingly at Elliot who smiled at her. Still with a smirk, which was becoming his signature look.
"May. Just follow us and you'll know," Kenny said with intermittent giggles.
Elliot pulled up May through the window, and said, "This castle is too big to walk around. It's much quicker climbing through the windows.
"I don't think that the cleaners appreciate it though," May replied embarrassedly as she spotted a few maid looking at them and having a good gossip. Elliot motioned for Kenny to lead the way, since he was the most experienced in and around the castle. Elliot would have done it himself, but he didn't want to risk looking like a fool in front of May. What he hadn't noticed was that the three were staring at him as he had a strong grip on May's arm. He shyly removed it, and Kenny and Dawn stole knowing glances at each other as the other two turned bright red.
Brock laughed out loud at Ash.
"Why so serious dude? Have fun. I mean, it's not like you're doing this because being a Pokémon master requires you to." Ash frowned. "Look, anyway I wrote this for you. This is an outline of the plan. However the priority right now is for me to secure a room here. Of course I'm here for the ladies too, but don't worry, I have my priorities too." Brock stated as he handed Ash the small folder with the plan inside it. He then left to find Misty as it were so that he could be granted a room. But he also wanted to look around the castle. To flirt of course but to see whom else was in the castle. Being a Pokémon Breeder was fun of course, but nothing was quite as fun as pranking other people. It was always a good laugh. And quite honestly, the more was definitely the merrier.
Back in his room, Ash had opened the folder and true to his word, Brock had left a very brief outline to the plan, along with some more papers, which elaborated the plan. The outline read:
Now Ash,
I know that you will find it hard to act out this scenario. But if you want to hurt Misty's pride, just like she hurt yours then you better follow this. It's a guaranteed success man. GUARENTEED.
Ash paused for a second. Did Brock really have nothing better to do on the plane than writing this? He had to give the guy some credit. He was definitely dedicated.
You have to act gay. It's the only way.
You have to find a 'gay partner' to act with you. Not me. Good luck.
What you have to do is make Misty fall for YOU
While you do this, you keep dropping hints about your sexuality (see page 12)
Then when she finally asks you, act ignorant.
A few days later, your 'gay partner' comes in and steals you away.
Make sure you don't do the cliché 'Wedding Runaway'. Be Original! (see page 8 for more ideas)
That's all I've thought of. When the time comes, I'll give you the perfect ending.
I'm gonna be here the whole time dude. Wouldn't miss this for the world.
P.S. Find ACCOMPLICES. They are KEY.
Ash shut the folder. There was no way he was reading more. This plan was too funny for words. He would have to do it. Even though it completely tarnished his reputation, it was worth it.
Ash got up and walked out the door to find Brock. But just as he walked out of the door he saw Dawn, Kenny, May and someone else very familiar running up the main stairs onto the second level. So with no hesitation Ash shouted "Hey guys!"
They all turned to look at him, grinning like idiots and waved at him to hurry up and followed them. Meanwhile, a very content Rudy had woken up from his slumber…
