A/N: I kind of have a fever and so I have been allowed to write some stuff. Otherwise I'd be working on my Commercial Applications Project…
Tip for better Battle Writing: Do NOT read episode guides of the Johto League battles except for Ash v/s Gary. The rest of the battles are outdated and more or less fog your brain up.
Replies:
luhan: Thanks for the fav. Read on and enjoy!
Jarkes: Sorry about that. In this edition, Azurill will say stuff and Psyduck will say more than before.
Alexis R pokegirl: You won! Congrats! Hope you like the chapter. Could you review 'Twisted…' since it's up now?
PikaJedi555: Psyduck rocks? If you say so…
Swiftstream: Yeah, you know who the special guest is!! Just read your earlier review for chapter 5. Oh, I also have a special surprise for you. Just read today's short…
Orange Sora: This for you, babe! Enter, Meowth! PS: Art thou a guy or a gal?
Max the Vampire Kleptomaniac: Thanks for the review. And maybe Sceptile, Charizard or Steelix, with their burning pride might try to silence Gyarados… who knows?
CuddleyEeveeM: I don't think that I'll be showing any of Dawn's Pokemon. Remember, at the start of the fic I mentioned that this story takes place after the Battle Frontier saga ends, which means that Ash hasn't gotten to Sinnoh and bumped into Dawn yet. I may change that later… but for now, no Dawn.
Also, I noticed that nobody had noticed Bulbasaur and Glalie's duet in the middle of the movie in chapter 6. If you go back to see what I'm talking about, keep in mind the scathing words are sung to the tune of 'Cocomo' by the Beach Boys. Ludicolo says the first two words of the first line, then Bulbasaur shuts him up and finishes the line. Semicolons indicate new lines.
And all MST3002 fans: Read and review my spin-off Pokemon fic, 'A Twisted Trainer Tale!' while waiting for the next MST3002 update! Keep in mind I'll be updating the two stories alternately. After this chapter is posted, I will post up chapter 2 of 'Twisted…', then chapter 8 of MST3002… and so on.

and all those who have read but not reviewed this fic, I would like to ask you to kindly review this fic if you hate it or like it. A few words of encouragement can go a long way. Look at CuddleyEeveeM: She submitted two very good ideas in her reviews, without which I might have gotten writer's block by now.
Just simply write any of the following words in reviews your reviews: 'Like', 'Love', 'Bad', 'Hate', 'You deserve to be burnt alive with your stories' or 'What are you still doing on Fanfiction? Write a book!'
Believe me, if I get a larger number of reviews, I update in a much shorter amount of time and review your fics too.
Anyways, on with the story!
Story:-
Charizard and Sceptile glared at each other from across opposite ends of the room. The rest of the Pokemon lined the sides of the room, waiting anxiously for the confrontation to begin; or in Gyarados and Squirtle's case, discussing the symbolism in the downfall of Trogander in Julio Claypool's Verddanniaa.
Steelix had earlier caught up with the two egoists and devised a solution to their incessant battling. The two of them would stand at opposite ends of the room and attack each other simultaneously with the same attack. After a lot of argument and discussion about Same-Type Attack Bonuses, Steelix finally decided on a single, common, non-STAB-empowered attack: Dragonbreath.
A/N: Yes, Sceptile can learn Dragonbreath through breeding.
Sceptile and Charizard inhaled deeply in tandem. On a signal from Steelix, both Pokemon unleashed their raging streams of green flame. The attacks collided in the middle of the room.
This continued for roughly fifteen minutes — it was hard to tell when Gyarados constantly disagreed with Squirtle on whether the cannons attacking the fort were symbolic of the advent of modernization. The flames embroiled and swirled in the middle of the room, with either Pokemon simply refusing to give way to the other.
At last, after twenty minutes had elapsed, and after Psyduck, with his biggest headache yet had knocked out Gyarados and Squirtle with Confusion, Charizard's attack began to fail. Sceptile's Dragonbreath advanced further and further till finally, Charizard was scorched and had received a taste of its own medicine. The mighty beast of fire crumpled like wet toilet paper.
"Sceptile is the winner of the duel!" roared Steelix.
The new king of the jungle slowly walked forward, feeling dazed, unsure if that had really happened — if he'd actually managed to overcome Charizard. He walked forward and across the room, standing over his fallen adversary.
Charizard looked up, breathing hard. Sceptile tilted backwards slightly, unsure as to what Charizard would do.
Charizard sighed. "You beat me fair and square. You are pretty tough, given that I wasn't able to knock you out earlier, even with a double type advantage." He smiled slowly, a genuine smile this time. "I suppose I deserved to be knocked down a peg. Care to give me a hand?" he asked, extended his arm. Sceptile took Charizard's hand and hoisted him up. The two grinned, then embraced tightly.
This rather sentimental and, quite frankly, nauseating moment was interrupted when a Water Gun smashed into the pair. The two Pokemon jumped apart, attempted to shake themselves dry before looking around for the culprit. They found it in the form of a happy, bouncing Azurill.
"Sowwy," trilled the baby Pokemon, before pouting cutely. "I do not like dwama, oo know."
Sceptile and Charizard looked at each other, sopping wet. They closed their eyes, tilted their heads back and laughed. While they did so, everyone sighed in relief while Psyduck exchanged a wink with Azurill.
"Well, glad that that's over," said Pikachu, slapping Steelix's side. "You actually had a pretty good idea."
Steelix grinned.
VREET!! VREET!! VREET!! VREET!!
"We got movie sign!" yelled the Pokemon, dashing into the theater at high speed.
((((((((((If you don't know what this is yet, see my psychiatrist)
Everyone had already taken their seats, when Beautifly, Munchlax and Skitty returned from the reel room.
"We found another short!" said Skitty. "A good one, this time. It has a nice, romantic melody, as well as May…" Skitty looked heavenward, with hearts in her eyes.
"In other words, a sappy love chick flick," laughed Pikachu.
The hearts in Skitty's eyes shattered, to be replaced by a furious frown. She was about to remind Pikachu of the physical anguish people suffered when they crossed her, but suddenly stopped herself.
Was it her, or did Pikachu look cute? With that smooth yellow fur, that lovely smile, that angelic voice that sent pinpricks down her spine…
Skitty shuddered. The romance must be going to her head. She sat back, squishing herself into her seat's cushions.
Pikachu suddenly stopped laughing. "Hey, how come you didn't slap me this time?"
Skitty began sweating bullets. "Eh… I'll let this one slide," she said lamely.
Goodbye to You,
"… my sanity!" proclaimed Pikachu. Although still a little weirded out, in a desperate attempt to seem normal, Skitty swung her tail at Pikachu, only to see him vanish as soon as her tail made contact.
"The magic of double team!" laughed Pikachu from under his seat, giving Skitty Goosebumps.
By Swiftstream.
"I hope the short ends swiftly," said Donphan. Upon not being slapped, he threw Skitty a quizzical look. She shrugged. "You've got armored plates," she muttered.
It's been 3 years since May left Ash to go to the Johto Region. One day, after training for an upcoming contest with her Pokemon, her thoughts wander back to her crush, Ash.
Of
all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over
with
Tears form behind my eyes
"As I watch this," chuckled Charizard.
But
I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
The image of a raven haired boy and his Pikachu
Somebody cheered upon seeing Pikachu. The Pokemon frowned and looked about. Skitty was determinedly looking at the screen, her lips pressed closed tightly.
flashed through May's mind, making her form the slightest smile. May walks to the nearest Pokemon Center in Azalea Town, up to her room to spend the night in.
I've
been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are
starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The
last three years were just pretend
And I said,
Goodbye
to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one
I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
May looked out of the window, gazing at the stars. Quick flashbacks of Ash and May moments are seen, before the song starts again.
I
still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day
without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a
place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye
to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one
I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
A short flashback of when Ash rescued May in the movie "Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea" is played, then shatters like a broken heart when the song continues.
"MAY someone pass me the barf bag?" asked Squirtle, thinking that Skitty was too wound up to do anything to him. He learned a short while after that no matter how confused Skitty might be, she always had the heart to slap him.
And
it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want
what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not
giving in this time
Goodbye
to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one
I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing
that I tried to hold on to
May stares out at the night, watching the stars shine. I wonder…Does Ash see the same stars in Sinnoh?
Ash is taking a nightly stroll in Hearthrome City, after a hard day's worth of training. An image of a klutzy brunette enters his mind as he sees the huge Contest Hall. Ash looks at the clear night sky, stars shining brightly. Does May see the same stars back in Johto?
Goodbye
to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one
I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing
that I tried to hold on to
And
when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
A shooting star flashes across the sky, as May closes her eyes and wishes for something…
Ash sees the same star as he closes his eyes. "I wish…"
"I wish…I wish I could see Ash again someday…"
"I could see May again someday…"
Back in space, Jirachi looks down at May, and Ash, who were both hoping for their one and only wish to come true- to be able to see each other again and tell them how they feel about each other. Jirachi smiled slightly, then shined with all its might…
"My wish came true! It's over!" cried Sceptile. Charizard chuckled.
"You ought to have wished that the movie wouldn't start, Scep," said the fire dragon.
A/N to Swiftstream: Surprise! I thought that since I'd be riffing the sequel to 'Goodbye to You' when you finished it, I might as well go the whole hog.
Please don't kill me!
Misty had woken up early, she had ate and she went to look for May but she either was still sleeping, which was unusual of her, or out because she wasn't answering the door. She didn't bother look for any of the 3 guys:
Richie had left without an "aurevoir",
"He forgot to pick up one of the free 'aurevoirs' from the gift shop!" said Marshtomp.
just with a letter she wasn't allowed to read before the match between Ash and Gary end and she was sure that Ash and Gary were both training for their battle. They were so determined to win and she had guess that Pr. Oak speech only made them more eager to win.
She had thought of seeing Tracey and Brock but last time Ash asked them to help him training so now she was alone and bored. The matches will only begin in the afternoon; she had to think of something before falling asleep bored and miss it. She was walking in the Oak mansion corridors, deep into thought,
"Deeper and deeper into the thought she went, till she was nearly swallowed up by the infinite —"
"Ludicolo, that's even worse than Pikachu's Gary-bashing," Donphan said flatly.
she didn't notice the person waving at her.
"Misty!" someone cried, that made her jump startled.
"She quickly tried to comfort the startled jump," said Marshtomp.
She tried to locate where the voice came from and found the unexpected presence of Delia Ketchum.
"What's her presence doing here? It's supposed to be in the attic!" said Crobat.
"Hi Miss Ketchup…or should I say Oak"
"You should say 'Ketchum'," said Pikachu, enunciating the last word.
"Pikachu with ketchup…"
"Whuh?" gasped Pikachu, looking around wildly. Skitty was once more staring at the screen with lips tight shut.
she smiled maliciously to her. She and Ash's mother had always been close, Delia was a great confident
"Is that word supposed to be 'confidant'?" queried Gyarados.
"Who can tell in this movie?" said Beautifly.
and was also counting on her to watch over Ash during their travels; she preferred him to have a feminine presence with him, not that Brock wasn't responsible enough but still the way he acted around pretty girls wasn't quite encouraging… Misty grinned as her comment made Delia blush.
"So what's going on between you and my son?"
"What do you mean?" said Misty confused
"Ash was very worried, he asked me to explain him something that happened that hurt him quite a lot, but yesterday he was very happy and only you had this effect on him before. I think that he really loves you…"
"Oh…"
"But I also learn that you and my future grandson had "something" going on…"
"I'm sorry but…" try to explain herself, wondering how the heck Delia knew all that
"No need to apologize, I consider you like a family follow your heart no need to compromise your happiness for Ash's I wouldn't want you to be sad"
Gyarados groaned. "It seems to me that that sentence was lowered into a tank of hungry Carvanha before use."
Squirtle smirked at all the crestfallen Pokemon.
"Thanks a lot Delia, I feel pretty bad about breaking someone's heart though…"
Delia smiled to her understanding
"You know, I once went through that, in fact it was with Ash's father…" Misty looked surprised and intrigued at Delia; Neither her or Ash were talking about him "I had to chose between 2 men" she continued not minding Misty's expression "I chose Ash's father because I knew his mother and him for a long time we were long timed friends and I didn't want to break that and I also thought that I really loved him, had a crush on him for years. I realized that he wasn't the one for me awhile after but it was too late I was already pregnant and about to marry him. I was really desperate and I explained everything to his mother, she told me that I shouldn't have followed my head but my heart and that I could still change my mind and I did. Unfortunately Ash's father took it really bad and walk away, I never saw him since. Trying to save our friendship I lost it, not only it but my chance of true happiness…"
Misty felt bad for Delia and she saw it so she quickly added smiling "But luckily Ash has been a gift to me! Don't worry about me, im fine and I really love Pr. Oak, just don't make the same mistake than me that would really sadden me"
"As does this grammatically incorrigible tale," muttered Gyarados.
"Don't worry I won't" to these words Miss Ketchum smiled
"Any idea of who will be the lucky one?" Delia asked her
"The winner of today's match, they know it and that way they'll put all their strength and will to prove me they love me more"
"Wish, that pokemon battles were as popular than now at my time, all this would have been a lot easier!" the two of them laughed
They spoke again for the rest of the morning and ate together. Neither Ash nor Gary was at sight. She didn't even see May and guessed that she was still helping Gary like the day before.
"Traitor," said someone who was not Pikachu, but everyone thought it was him. As matter of fact, it wasn't him, but a she…
Time passed by quickly and it was almost time for the so waited battle, Ash and Gary finally appeared to her.
She hadn't had time to say some words to them. Delia left her to go with Pr. Oak as her new duty of fiancé. She was alone again, that's what she thought when a hand patted her back.
"C'mon Misty, I saved us some seat in the first row!" it was May
"Hey May! Where have you been?"
"Helping a "friend" of yours training, anyways let's go!"
When they arrived the battle was about to start and the audience was already cheering, in fact Gary's cheerleaders were already cheering:
"Watch out everyone Gary's here
"Look at him too long and your eyes will produce tears!" proclaimed Charizard.
"I missed you!" Pikachu hugged Charizard.
With him with us victory's near
Gary, Gary he's the best
"Of the worst!" Skitty said, hoping to get a hug to. Her wish was fulfilled, and her heart rate skyrocketed.
Nothing more, nothing less!
Everybody
stand clear!
Let's shout, let's cheer!
Ashes
to ashes, dust to dust
hate to beat you, but he must
Gary, Gary he's the one!
Show this loser how it's done!
Go on and fight then win tonight! YEAH!"
Misty sighed again because of the noising girls while May giggle at how stupid they looked and how weak this chant was. The tension was high on the field and they hadn't released their pokemon yet but were holding their pokeball tight. Misty and May took their seat and both Ash and Gary saw them since they were at the first row.
"Hey Misty, watch me win for you!" said a confident Ash "I'll do everything to win!"
Misty was sure that Gary was going to make a comeback but instead he looked thoughtful and unsure.
"Scared to confront Ash's powerhouses!" laughed Sceptile.
All of Ash's Pokemon exchanged high-fives. Ludicolo, Marshtomp and Psyduck held their finger and thumb in the shape of an 'L' on their foreheads.
"C'mon Gary let's go let the one who loves Misty more win!" said Ash at Gary's expression. The audience was waiting for action and they didn't like Gary's lack of spirit. His matches were always fabulous and they were afraid that because of that this battle could be less paltating.
"What is that misspelled world meant to be? Palpating, platting, palliating, paltering or placating?" asked Gyarados.
"You are my God," Squirtle told the Water dragon.
Gary finally opened his mouth to announce something, he seemed sorry but sure.
"I know it may be hard for me to say that but I-I… Iforfeit!" he finished his sentence quickly shameful.
"Scaredy-Skitty," laughed Pikachu. Skitty jumped at the mention of her name.
Everyone was shocked especially May and Misty.
"Gary, we have trained hours for this match, you can't just give up!" screamed May
"Yeah, show us what you're made of" challenged Ash
"No, my decision is taken" he said firmly, everyone could see he wasn't doing it heartedly. It was so evident than even Ash noticed.
"Why?" he asked
"I'm too scared to face you! I think I'm gonna lose like last time!" mock-wept Pikachu.
"Unless you use Pikachu," smirked Charizard.
Charizard was suddenly made aware that a force greater than both he and Sceptile existed on the spaceship: Skitty's tail…
"For her" Gary replied
"I don't understand" said a still shocked, confused and angry Ash
"It's easy to try and win for her, we both wanted to win from the start Ash! How could we pretend that one of us won for Misty and only her? It could be for our pride or the prizes gramps added. I'm losing for her and only her, forfeiting is way harder than winning, I was looking really forward for this match and gramps' new invention is really awesome…but anyway like I said my decision's taken and my pokemon don't need to fight a battle that I want to lose, that'll be unfair to them…" he turned around and looked directly in Misty's eyes "I love you Misty Waterflower and this ain't no game"
The audience who had been angry, quickly calmed down what Gary had just done was taking a lot of will power; who the hell would forfeit in semi finals?
"A coward like him, perhaps?" said Sceptile.
They all applauded, touched by this action and also by the declaration made for someone dear to Gary's heart, even though not all of them knew who. But it was all another story for Gary's cheerleaders who were crying and screaming loudly; not only Gary had forfeit but he clearly said himself that he loved another girl (they didn't want to believe he rumors or thought that Gary was playing another girl). Ash was silent and his cap was hiding, with his shadow, his face. Gary was leaving the field when he was knocked down by a wrist.
"Great golly badzooks! Where's this wrist's human?" asked Psyduck.
Everyone gasped and the cheerleaders were about to have a heart attack. Gary however didn't fight back, he touched his hurt cheek and stare back at Ash. He had understood.
"And don't even think of making her cry or you'll get more of them" Ash said who was now holding his hand to help Gary get up, smiling.
"Don't worry about it Ash, it won't happen I promise I'll do everything in my power for that" Gary smiled back
Gary got up and Ash and he shook hands. Everybody was relieved, they didn't quite understand what happened but it was better than a fight. Only some close friends who knew all about the conflict like Brock, Tracey, Max, May, Pr. Oak and Delia understood that Ash was admitting that Gary had beat him even if the battle was a loss on his report card, he just had won more.
"GARY OAK IS DEFEATED, ASH KETCHUM IS THE WINNER AND WILL GO IN FINALS"
Ash's Pokemon all cheered.
"I think I'm getting another headache," said Psyduck, massaging his temples.
Only Pikachu knew what that meant, but try as he might, he couldn't get his comrades, especially Sceptile and Charizard, to shut up.
The crowd who had been quiet for awhile, cheered again like insane.
"The sight of Gary drove them insane!" yelled Pikachu, forgetting all about Psyduck, whose headache worsened…
Even though there had been no battle, something unexpected happened.
Eerily, something unexpected did happen in the theater. In fact, several unexpected things happened.
Firstly, Psyduck's grew out of proportion. He fired a powerful Confusion right at the screen. The screen blacked out. The Psychic energy traveled through electric cable and all the lights in the theater came on, before each exploded in a shower of sparks. The energy went on to the reel room and left everything in there unharmed — except for the reel of 'Love Triangles', which was melted.
Gyarados remembered Psyduck's Confusion from before. He excused himself rather loudly, saying that he had to go to the ladies' room (even though he was male) and knocked several people over on his way out. Squirtle was knocked into the path of Psyduck's confusion. He suffered a critical hit and was knocked out. Some of the energy dissipated and struck Pikachu squarely in the head, making him feel all woozy and causing him to stumble. Due to this, Skitty — who had leaped at Pikachu, hoping to kiss him in the pandemonium — missed and landed in Gyarados' bucket of Brussels' sprouts with hummus.
The Pokemon finally cleared out of the theater, Bulbasaur carrying the weeping babies.
(((((((((((((((((((How was my psychiatrist?)
Two hours later, things had more or less returned to normal. The babies were sleeping. They couldn't be calmed and so Beautifly had been forced to knock them out. Crobat had given Psyduck some of his secret aspirin stash to cure him of his raging headache. Gyarados was out of the ladies room, and was glaring at everyone, showing his sharp fangs, to ensure no one would make fun of his dash from the theater. Nobody did.
Steelix, Sceptile and Charizard came out from the reel room. Smoke billowed out from the open door behind them.
"Damage report," said Sceptile. "Not much has been harmed. Most of the stuff has simply been overheated and will be up and running in about a few hours. The DVD of 'Love Triangles', however, has been melted and is beyond repair."
"Good," muttered Psyduck, making everybody flinch.
Now for the things that weren't back to normal.
Pikachu had a raging fever due to the Confusion and was barely conscious. Marshtomp was taking care of him: Regularly applying wet towels to his scalding head to cool him down. Skitty was lying next to Pikachu, looking at him sadly. After she had slapped Charizard in the theater, no one had dared to question her motives.
Squirtle didn't have a fever, but he was still out like a light. Nobody was caring for him.
Three bleeps sounded through the living room suddenly. The Pokemon all sighed and waited for twenty seconds.
Deoxys' image materialized. He was looking even more beat up that before.
"Does anyone care to comment?" said Deoxys in a menacingly silky voice.
"Squirtle thinks that you ought to stop falling into buckets full of Pineco," said Foretress promptly.
Deoxys glared at the steel type. He then growled loudly. "My latest plan to rid the earth of that Ash was foiled again! I had finally cornered him, in the dead of night. He was without his anti-Psychic type Pokemon. He was helpless before me. But then, this stupid klutzy brown-haired girl —"
"May," interrupted Beautifly.
Deoxys cocked his head and looked at her with one eye. "May," he spat, "came out of nowhere. She sent out an Eevee, begged it to evolve, and it did. It became a Dark Umbreon."
"All Umbreons are Dark, you know," smirked Steelix.
"Yes," hissed Deoxys. "Anyway, I eventually managed to knock it out with Superpower. But then another girl showed, an orange-haired one this time —"
"Misty," interrupted Gyarados.
"WOULD YOU DOLTS JUST SHUT UP!" yelled the irked Psychic type. "She had a Togetic with her. It knew some really potent special attacks and held me at bay till the boy and she could escape. So, I decided to abduct the stupid Umbreon and Togetic too."
The Pokemon looked around at each other, worried.
"We can't have an Umbreon on this ship!" Bulbasaur told Deoxys. "Pikachu would freak."
Deoxys grinned evilly. "How lovely. I'll be sure to tune in later. Anyway, the story isn't over." Everybody groaned.
"That was when two idiot humans and their talking Meowth attacked me with a Seviper and Cacnea. They were trying to catch me. Me, the future ruler of mankind! And that was the last straw. I knocked out the stupid Seviper and Cacnea and abducted the Meowth, Umbreon and Togetic. Story ends. I'll catch you losers later." With that, his image faded from view.
The Pokemon exchanged more worried glances. "He doesn't mean Team Rocket, does he?" asked Bulbasaur.
"Who else would be stupid enough to attack Dee-sis?" asked Sceptile.
"I'll go get Umbreon and fill her in," said Skitty, running towards the loading dock.
"I'll come with you," said Bulbasaur, dashing after her.
However, as it turned out, all three Pokemon were unconscious. Everyone decided to talk to them later.
On the other hand, those who were already unconscious on the ship were beginning to wake up.
Unnoticed by everybody else, Pikachu had woken up and had walked over to where everyone was crowded around the three unconscious new arrivals.
Donphan was the first to notice Pikachu was up and had seen Umbreon. Gasping, he grabbed Pikachu and hauled him out of sight of the Eeveelution. Donphan was quickly followed by Skitty, Psyduck, Marshtomp and Sceptile.
"Okay, Pikachu, it's fine," breathed Donphan. "We know you don't like Eevees and hate Umbreons — to say the least — but Deoxys just put her here."
"It'll be fine though," piped Skitty. "I'll tell her about you and you two will stay away from each other all the time, 'Kay?"
Pikachu frowned quizzically. "What are you guys talking about? I love Eevees, and especially love Umbreons! Especially that one over there…" a dreamy look came over Pikachu's face. "She looked so angelic and beautiful…"
Sceptile frowned. "I don't get his joke."
Marshtomp was the first one to make the connection. "Oh my God! It's Psyduck's Confusion attack!" Marshtomp whirled to face the yellow duck. "I think the compounds in his brain have been rearranged. He now loves Eevees and Umbreons as much as he used to hate them before!"
Everybody's eyes widened. Skitty gasped. Her heart shattered into a million pieces inside her body.
Meanwhile, Squirtle, surrounded by Crobat, Gyarados, Bulbasaur and Beautifly was waking up as well. He sat up and shook his head, squinting at everyone. He began talking. However, it was in a very different voice, tone and accent.
"My word," he said in a deep voice with a British accent. "Why are you folk all surrounding me? Is something the matter?"
Beautifly groaned. "Do all water types talk like this?"
Squirtle hadn't heard her. "Who are you all? And I believe that I am no longer in Stratford-upon-Avon, I'll wager on it. Where am I and why am I there? I half expect Hamlet's father to materialize before my eyes."
Crobat frowned. "Er… firstly, who are you?"
Squirtle suddenly got an arrogant look on his face. "Me? I, sirs and madams, am no other than Sir William Shakespeare, recently knighted bard." He stood up and bowed courteously.
"He's lost it," said Bulbasaur flatly.
Gyarados suddenly realized the same thing which Marshtomp had. His Confusion had had an adverse effect on Squirtle's mind. Squirtle now thought he was the human William Shakespeare. Due to some bogus about the cerebral cortex that nobody understood when Gyarados explained, Squirtle perceived all Pokemon as humans.
Word soon spread about both Squirtle and Pikachu. Soon, all the conscious Pokemon on board were looking on as Squirtle and Pikachu stood face to face.
"Could you move? I want to see the Umbreon," said Pikachu, trying to look past Squirtle.
"I beg your pardon?" Squirtle said.
Psyduck looked on with horror. "What have I done?"
