Chapter 6: Introductions and Charmaine's Cousin

Who's Charmaine?" Brock and Dawn asked simultaneously. The brunette girl and the black haired boy looked at each other nervously. They had met Charmaine at a karaoke bar during one their dates the past year. They told her their relationship, hoping she would keep it a secret. She happened to be a bit of a blabbermouth.

"That would be me!" said the girl who's name was just mentioned.

"You must be Brock! These two told me about your amazing cooking!" she said, pointing at her two friends, which resulted in them blushing like mad.

"And you are?" she eyed Dawn curiously.

Walking over to Charmaine, she held out her hand.

"I'm Dawn Berlitz, pokémon coordinator! Who are you?" she asked, jealous at the fact that Ash knew so many girls.

The violet eyed girl smiled. "I'm Charmaine Sanders, one of the toughest trainers out there! Nice to meet you!" she replied, shaking the blunette's hand.

She then smirked, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Now are you aware of my two dear friends' rela-"

"Charmaine Cecilia Violet Sanders!" Ash and May cried out angrily.

"Hey! You promised you would never tell anyone my full name!" the said girl whined.

"And you promised you wouldn't tell anyone what you were about to reveal!" they countered, glaring at the black haired beauty.

The girl crossed her arms and looked away huffing.

"Uh, may I ask the reason of this argument?" Dawn asked, irked that she was always left out.

"My Lady Charmaine!" a certain perverted breeder cried out, holding her hands.

"Be my princess and I'll be your knight on a shiny Rapidash!" he said. 'Uh oh' she muttered as she sweatdropped anxiously, knowing what was about to happen.

"Pi...CHU!" an angry Pichu belonging to the girl said while using Discharge on Brock, thus making him faint at the intensity of the attack.

"Sorry 'bout that!" she rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly." Zappy feels mad that guys won't leave me alone. So every time one tries to flirt with me, they get shocked by his powerful electric attacks. Although I am honored that Brock thinks I'm pretty enough to flirt with!" she grinned.

May rolled her eyes. "Only you would be. By the way, what are you doing here? Last I heard, you were in Hoenn. Challenging the Battle Frontier, I presume?"

"Yeah. Almost beat Brandon too. Well, there's always room for improvement!" She cheered, knowing she would be able to win anything with more training.

"You said you were a tough trainer," Dawn said. "What exactly have you accomplished in your years as a trainer?" she asked, interested at the fact of another possible rival in the battle for Ash's heart.

At this question, Ash and May groaned. "Great. You gave her an excuse to brag. Once she starts you'll never hear the end of it. May and I are gonna check out our rooms." Ash said, not wanting to hear endless bragging from a trainer who also happened to be no pushover, being able to defeat him easily and all.

Hearing that, Dawn was angered. 'How come she gets to stay with him? I am so much better! I'm still a bit of a newbie, but I bet I could beat her without breaking a sweat! That would just show how weak she is, an experienced coordinator unable to defeat a novice! Humph!'

"But we didn't even sort anything out yet!" the ocean blue eyed girl complained.

"Um, I don't really think it would be a good idea if you and May were in the same room together. By tomorrow, there would probably be no remains of a person left. You two rooming together would just worsen your current, ah, situation. Besides, someone has to make sure you guys don't go to overboard." her crush pointed out.

"He's right." sounded Brock's voice, startling the group of his sudden appearance.

"We can't let this get too out of hand. You guys need to stop this ridiculous behavior and make up. Charmaine, you never answered May's question. What exactly are you planning to do here?"

"How long were you awake? Most can't stay conscious for long after one of Zappy's infamous electric attacks." the black haired beauty asked, amazed.

Rolling his eyes, our cap wearing hero said impatiently, "Long enough. Please answer the question. You've got us all curious."

Her hesitance made the four fall down anime style.

"Hm. I forgot." She soon snapped her fingers. "Oh yeah! I remember now! I was supposed to meet my cousin here!" the girl exclaimed.

This raised some eyebrows. "Cousin? Who would that be?" our bandana wearing coordinator voiced their thoughts.

The confusion caused Charmaine to smirk. "I believe you know him well, Ashy. You know him very well, indeed." she responded mysteriously.

"Yes. In fact, you do." another familiar voice came.

Ash's jaw dropped as he looked between her and the newcomer. "There is no freakin' way you two are actually related. Please tell me this is a joke."

A white flash erupted. Charmaine sighed contentedly. "Ah, another precious Kodak moment!" she said, before bursting into fits of giggles.

"Do you carry that with you everywhere?" an irritated girlfriend asked, her annoyance not failing to be heard.

Charmaine just smiled innocently in response. "Of course not. Sometimes I take my Nikon!"

The brunette sighed, then started massaging her temple. "Ash and I will be in our room, if anyone needs us. I need to get this idiot away before he starts challenging rivals to a battle. Later!" the couple disappeared from sight, mostly May being the one moving as she was the one dragging her boyfriend.

As they left, a violet eyed girl called out, "Don't forget to use protection!" much to their chagrin.

While this happened, Dawn was staring at the newcomer in disgust. "Paul." she growled.

"Troublesome." he smirked.

During this exchange, Charmaine was confused. But the realization soon dawned on her.

"Ohhhhhh, so she's the girl you like to call Troublesome."

Dawn looked at her questioningly. "He LIKES calling me that?" The blunette was now beyond livid. Right now, she looked like a pipe that was about to burst.

"My name is DAWN! Get it right! D-A-W-N! DAWN!" she shouted at the purple haired boy.

He just rolled his eyes in response. "Whatever. CC, you're late. Let's move before this blue haired lunatic decides to follow us around, screaming her name."

This declaration turned her into an active volcano. Which unfortunately, for Paul, just led into more screaming, with Brock, who's been silent for a long time, holding her back.

"YOU LITTLE BASTARD! WAIT 'TILL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU! I'LL-"

As she continued to go on, Paul ignored her. Instead, he turned to his cousin.

"Can we go now? I'd rather die before listening to her." he said, impatiently.

"Sure." his relative shrugged. "I'm pretty bored, right now. That, and I'm hungry." she added. Her stomach then rumbled as if to emphasize her point.

The two then ran off leaving a furious Dawn and an exhausted Brock.
