~Chapter 1: Where is the party?~
A/N: I have been informed that script form isn't really allowed, but I would hope that viewers can see that it isn't strictly script, I've tried to include more description than I would've used instead of just back and forth script dialogue. If the staff feels this isn't enough than I'll gladly edit the story in a non-script form.
Ash looked around, realizing how empty the streets were in Viridian City.
Ash: Where is everyone? Wait...I bet they're planning a surprise party! My friends are the best!
Ash chuckled to himself as he wandered from house to house, peeking through the windows. To his dismay, he couldn't see anything except old newsprint through the glass panes.
Ash: Must be some new trend in window shopping. Oh well!
After concluding that the party wasn't going to be at a stranger's house, Ash decided to head off to the PokeMart.
Ash: I bet those guys got me a master ball! Oh man the Pokemon I could catch with that. Entei, Ho-Oh, heck maybe even a golden Magikarp!
Gardevoir slowly followed Ash, blushing as she noticed that was Ash running around in a new pair of skinny jeans.
Gardevoir: My, my...what a view. You do have a cute butt don't you Ashy?
Ash finally reached the blue-roofed building and walked inside, only to find that the Mart was also devoid of life.
Ash: Aww man I thought for sure they'd be here! What's that on the counter over there? Just a pile of chicken nuggets I think. Worth a dollar maybe. Oh well.
As Ash walked out, one of the "nuggets" fell into the price scanner, which immediately read "Over 9000 dollars".
Ash: Where could they be? The Gym's always closed so I know they're not there. Hmm...oh I know! The Pokemon Center! Brock's always fond of those places for some reason. I'm gonna check it out!
Gardevoir popped her head out from a nearby trash can and watched as the aspiring Pokemon Master sprinted in the direction of the Pokemon Center.
Gardevoir: When I'm done with you Ashy, that's not the only thing you're going to be checking out. What's this?
Gardevoir reached into the pile of trash and pulled out an odd-shaped ball with a large "M" on it.
Gardevoir: An M insignia? This isn't Dragonball Z. Back into the trash heap you go.
As Gardevoir levitated out of the trash can, the ball that she tossed accidentally hit an unsuspecting Weedle that was scouring for food. That Weedle would be trapped in the ball for the rest of its life.
As Ash burst into the Pokemon Center, he noticed the resident nurse Joy sitting quietly behind the counter, lazily flipping pages of that month's Trainers Digest. Scrambling up to the desk, Ash slammed his hands down on the counter top, startling the pink-haired Nurse.
Nurse Joy: Uh hello there. Can I heal your Pokemon for you?
Ash: I don't have any Pokemon with me, not even Pikachu!
Ash paused for a moment wondering why his trusty companion was not present with him.
Ash: Come to think of it I haven't seen him all day...strange.
Ash shook his head free of those thoughts and turned his attention back to the Nurse who was still staring at him quizzicially.
Ash: Is there anyone here hiding? Maybe planning a surprise party?
Nurse Joy: Um, not that I'm aware of. What a strange boy...
Ash frowned, wondering where his friends could be.
Ash: Say, is there any reason why the streets are all empty?
Nurse Joy: Sure. Everyone in town has gone up Route 2 to the annual Randomly Placed Pokemon Convention, or RPPC for sure.
Snapping his fingers, Ash realized that it was indeed RPPC day.
Ash: This blows, I forgot to bring my Pokemon Trading Card collection for the convention! Oh well...
While Ash was lost in his thoughts, Gardevoir peeked in through the Center's rather large glass pane window.
Gardevoir: Hmm...time for a little fun.
Gardevoir twirled her arms around and channeled her psychic powers, taking control of Nurse Joy's mind.
Gardevoir: Now let's see if I can make him squirm.
Nurse Joy, being controlled by Gardevoir, reached out and brushed the tip of Ash's shoulders with her gentle hands.
Gardevoir as Nurse Joy (GANJ): Why don't you forget about the convention and stay here with me?
She continued her motion, watching to see Ash's reaction.
GANJ: It gets awfully lonely around here...
Ash simply stared at the Nurse, wondering if she was trying to give him a massage.
Ash: I don't think Pokemon Masters have time for massages, they must battle and train all day and night!
With a renewed sense of urgency, Ash slapped away the puppet Nurse's hand and ran out the door in the direction of Route 2.
With a scowl, Gardevoir released her psychic bond on Nurse Joy, who fell to the floor confused about what had just happened.
Gardevoir: This will be tougher than I thought, but as they say good things come to those who wait. And you will be mine Ashy. You will be mine.
And with that Gardevoir floated off, trailing the oblivious trainer as he made his way to the convention.
