Me: I have to tell you something. I'm switching to...AdvancedShipping and Waterflowershipping!

May/Drew/Misty/Ash: WHAT?

Me: Hahahahahaha! You should've seen the look on your faces when you thought I had put you with the wrong people! Of course I'm still with Contestshipping and Pokeshipping.

Misty: That WASN'T FUNNY!

Me: Whateva. Just do the disclaimer!

Ash: No!

Me: I didn't ask you.

Ash: Good. (leaves)

Misty: COWARD!!!!!

Drew: For once I agree with demon girl over here. Just do the stinkin' disclaimer!

Misty: You do it.

Drew: No!

Misty: Don't make me use this mallet!

Drew: Argh, doesn't own pokemon on with the story!

May: I wonder if just for once someone else will do the disclaimer.

Drew: P'raps. Demon girl's taken to making ME do it. As in, me me, not her Me.

Mimi: Someone say my name?

Me: What the-? Who are you?

Mimi: Dunno...on with the story!

"Today, since we can't play Chinese Whispers with just two people, because that would be just stupid, which isn't a good idea as people would stop watching this show and..."

"GET ON WITH IT!"

"Sorry! We'll play a good old-fashioned game, which is good because the classics are the best, and-"

"Where's Gary?" Someone in the audience shouts. The girl on stage flushes.

"Gary is sick, so I'm filling in for him and- HEY! IS THAT A BULBASAUR?"

(lol- you can probably guess who it is by that)

Gardenia sprints off stage and everybody sweatdrops. Zoey dashes on stage from the sidelines (somehow they had predicted this would happen).

"Yes...well...as Gardenia said, we're having a good old-fashioned game of, um, not exactly Bulbasaur, but...Tangle!"

Ash pouts.

"Well, if it's so old-fashioned then how come I haven't heard of it?"

Misty rolls her eyes.

"Don't worry, Zoey'll explain. Anyway, we need more than two people to play Tangle."

"I know, that's why we called in some friends!"

Three girls in swimsuits walk on stage.

"Hi, we're like, totally here! Lily, Daisy and Violet!"

Misty's face darkens.

"Oh no. You did not invite my sisters."

"Ok. We didn't invite your sisters. Moving on!"

"I'm here, huns!"

Ash blanches. Harley still creeps him out.

"Yeah, tell me about it. Next..."

"Listen! Is that a voice I hear?"

"It speaks to me, loud and clear!"

"On the wind!"

"Past the stars!"

"In yer e-"

"Team Rocket?" Misty and Ash splutter frantically at the same time. Jessie poses.

"The one and only!"

"You mean the dumb and bony." Misty mutters.

"Yeah, not sure why they invited them." Max twiggles his glasses. Zoey sweatdrops, and continues.

"The rules are, there are two circles of five. Each member of a circle holds the hand of a person OPPOSITE them and the idea is to get untangled and stand in an ordinary circle without letting go. The teams are: Ash Violet Daisy Jessie Meowth and Misty Lily Harley James Max."

The teams get into circles. They go clockwise in the way their names were called out. Ash has Jessie's hand and Daisy's hand, Violet has Jessie's hand and Meowth's paw, Daisy has Ash's hand and Meowth's paw, Jessie has Ash's hand and Violet's hand, Meowth has Daisy's hand and Violet's hand. Draw a diagram if necessary. In the other group, Misty has James's hand and Harley's hand, Lily has Max's hand and James's hand, Harley has Misty's hand and Max's hand, James has Misty's hand and Lily's hand, Max has Lily's hand and Harley's hand. Misty immediately takes charge.

"Ok...Harley, you go into the middle..."

Harley goes into the middle and James cries out.

"Owowowowow...go back, that hurts!"

Max sighs.

"Inbeciles. It's simple. Due to Professor Willow's work on the therum of Wobbufet, if Lily turns around to get next to James, then they turn under and everyone else pulls through in the Chingling technique, we should be done in no time!"

"Huh?"

Meanwhile...

"Oh c'mon, Jessie! Just go under the loop!"

Jessie refuses pointedly.

"The day I listen to a twerp is the day Slowpokes fly!"

Immediately, a flying Slowpoke drifts across the stage. Jessie shrugs.

"Well, that settles that then!"

She ducks under the arch.

"Good. Now Daisy, if you would, like...argh, it's rubbing off on me! Daisy, just go through Jessie's legs!"

"Like, totally!"

"And Meowth, if you just did that...WE'RE DONE!"

Zoey smiles.

"And Ash is our winner!"

Ash punches the air triumphantly. Misty stomps over to him.

"Fine, but I want a consolation prize!"

"What's that?" Ash asks innocently.

"A movie date."

"Ash is pulled, bewildered, out of the room and is too dazed to watch the film, so Misty takes him swimming. Whether he drowns or not is for you to decide! Goodnight!"

Zoey is waved off and Gary, at home, 'hmph's because she is more successful than him.

Me: Heheh...had to put that last bit in. Any comments?

Mimi: Only one. Too pokeshippy! You should have done more contestshipping.

Me: Well, most of my fics are contestshipping. That makes up for it. R&R, no flames please!
