cooking troubles

Once Cheryl and Lizzy had come out of the training room and gotten cleaned up, they decided they where hungry and went to the kitchen to find food. What they found was everyone in the kitchen talking. Everyone stoped talking and looked up at Cheryl and Lizzy.

"What? Have I grown two heads or something?" Cheryl asked them. Seemingly to lighten the mood. It worked and soon everyone was smiling.

"I'm hungry" Complained ash. Cheryl went to sit down next to him on the sofa. While Liz sat next to Mist on the kitchen counter.

"I agree! We should make a late breakfast!" Cheryl announced.

Misty leaned over to Liz and whispered into her ear; so no-one else could hear. "How the hell do they eat so much and yet they still look as skinny as sticks?"

"I got no clue." Lizzy whispered back.

"I know why don't I make us some waffles and eggs?" Brock suggested while getting up. Cheryl jumped out of her seat and made Brock sit down again. "You always cook. Misty and me will cook this time." Cheryl said while smiling. She looked at Misty. "What do ya say? Want to help?"

Misty smiled and got off the bench. "Sure!"

Everyone except Cheryl, Misty, and Brock looked horrified. "Ahhh I don't think that's a good idea maybe-" Lance started only to be cut of by Brock.

"Come on, give them a go. What's the worst they could do?"

"Blow up the house; that's what." Ericka whispered to Sabrina. Gary and Sabrina nodded in agreement.

"Ok then it's settled! You all relax and let Cheryl and I work our magic!" Misty announced happily while her and Cheryl started to get set up. Cheryl walked up to Lizzy and showed her away. She went and sad next to Gary and Sabrina.

"This is a bad idea…" she whispered to Gary. He nodded. "I give them 10 mins."

10 mins later

Half the food Cheryl and Misty where 'cooking' had already burnt. The kitchen was a mess. The oven had smock coming from it, and everyone besides the 'cooks' and Brock had a fearful look in there eyes. They all had retreated to one end of the room in a huddle. They where as far away from them as they could get.

"Who else thinks letting them cook was a BAD idea?" Lizzy asked. All hands; excepted Brock shot up in the air in a silent agreement.

"Oh god their going to blow up the kitchen!" Ash announced as he watched Cheryl put something in the oven.

"Have a little faith guys they can't be that-" Boom Brock stopped sort as a loud explosion ringed though-out the house. The kitchen was now on fire and Cheryl and Misty had fallen onto the ground by the explosion.

"…bad" Brock finished as Lizzy jumped up to stop the fire. The others soon joined.

15 mins later

The whole kitchen was dripping wet and there where burn marks left over from the fire. Everyone had now calmed down and sat Cheryl and Misty on the sofa while the stood up in front of then glairing. Cheryl and Misty where looking at their shoes and twiddling their thumbs waiting for someone to speck.

The silence was defining and Ash soon decided to brake it. "I'm still hungry." Everyone looked at him horrified as though he just announced he was getting married to a chair.

"You have got to be kidding me." Lance said

"Well aright, I'm kind of hungry myself." Lizzy admitted looking down as a blush creped on her face. Gary slapped his forehead and sighed. "Not you to." He said.

"Well now that you mention food…" Ericka trailed off biting her bottom lip. Brock sighed as he looked at the remains of the kitchen. "I can't do anything with that now."

"If only we where in distance of a town." Sabrina whispered.

"Heeelllloooo! What do you people think these cool watches are for? Teleporting! Cuz they sure as help don't tell the time!" Gary said. Everyone stopped and looked at him before Lizzy hit him on the head.

"Ok 1. They are to be used in an emergency. 2. They only teleport you when you have completed a mission. And 3. Of cores they don't tell the time!" Lizzy yelled at Gary while he rubbed his head where her hand had hit him.

"Wine, Wine, Bitch, Bitch. Think up an idea and get your head bitten off" Gary muttered under his breath. Lizzy glared at him and Lance spoke before they could start a fight.

"Ok why don't we just teleport to a close down and have lunch there?" He asked looking at Gary and Sabrina; silently asking for there help.

Sabrina sighed. 'I am kind of hungry…and I suppose we could do it where no-one will see us. All of us popping out of nowhere would rise some questions. I'm going to have to meditate after thing. sigh fine whatever, ill do it.' "Fine whatever, ill does it…"

Everyone smiled and got into a circle. Sabrina began concentrating when Lizzy said. "And because Cheryl and Misty destroyed the kitchen; they are paying!" Laughter and complaints could be heard before the group where no more with a flash of light.

The three picatues and togepi and looked at each other, and the spot their masters had been moments before.

Some city in some unknown town 5:59

The sun was setting on the ocean reflecting on the water. There where a few palm trees around this beach providing shade in its sandy dunes. The seagulls swanked as the water rushed agents the rocks. The golden sand covering the beach began to shift in the wind. The sand shifted making a perfect tornado like circle as 9 friends appeared on the once deserted beach. The sand soon settled again and everything appeared to be back to normal.

Fighting could be heard from the strangers as they separated from their circle. Each seeming to have a look around there surroundings while two of the 9 friends where complaining.

"Ok I know we destroyed the kitchen and all but don't you think it's a little harsh making us pay for all of you?!" Cheryl asked once again trying to sway her friends into paying for themselves.

"NO" Came the reply from each respectable master/mistress. "Give up Cheryl; they are never going to give in. Although I still think Brock should pay the price as well; considering he was the one encouraging us?" Misty said while Cheryl thought about how evil her supposably 'innocent' her friends where.

"Don't bring me into this; I didn't try to blow the base to a pile of rubble." Brock defended himself.

"Yeah that's interesting and all but can I plllleeeaasseee get something to eat!" Ash wined. Lance sighed. "Ok fine; let's go find some restaurant."

"Does that mean leaving the beach?" Asked Liz disappointed. Gary sighed and started pulling her away. "Come on little mermaid, lets go." Liz looked at Gary insulted but kept her mouth shut anyway.

Soon enough they arrived in town and started looking for some place to eat. Sabrina came across a small place called "de' Latvian" it looked like a good place to get a decent meal. It didn't hurt that the waiters where cute. 'I'm dating, not blind!' Sabrina smiled at the thought. "Hey guys that looks like a nice place." She said pointing to the restaurant.

Everyone followed her gaze and smiled. 'Humm…funny she hates fancy restaurants. She said they where to stuffy for her…oh well. Maybe she changed her mind.' Gary shrugged and went to follow the rest of the group to the restaurant.

The restaurant was beautiful with the large wooden doors for an entry and high roof with pictures of angels and cupids with arrows decorating the roof. The walls were a rich gold with white lining, and a white strip in the middle of the wall. There where paintings of different people and some famous paintings from artist all over the world. The tables were all round and had white cloths on them. On each table they had a vase with roses and beautiful crystal china.

A waiter' was there to greet them and took them to a balcony outside. The balcony was small and had roses, vines and other various plants around it. The table there was much the same as the ones inside except it was made to fit all nine friends. Everyone sat down and where given menus and a glass of water before the waiter was off.

(A/N: just so you know where everyone is sitting. because it's a round table I'm starting anywhere. I'll start with the people who can see through the glass doors into the restaurant. It go's like this. Lance and on his left in Ericka on her left is Sabrina on her left is Gary, on his left is Lizzy on her left is Cheryl, on her left is Misty, on her left in Ash on his left is Brock and on his left in once again Lance. Got it? Good.)

The moon was now out and from their position you could clearly see it on the black sky littered with twinkling stars.

"What to order? What to order? Humm?" Ericka asked to herself looking at the menu. Lizzy grinned as she looked at her menu before announcing "Everything is so expensive…I mean $45 for lobster, $85 for crab and some sea food and $100 dollars for fish eggs with a fancy name? Well I'm sure as hell glad I don't have to pay for this. Don't you think Sabrina?"

"You know your right, these prices are huge! I think ill have the fish eggs…maybe the lobster. What do you think Gary want to have a lobster each?" Sabrina replied with a cheeky smile.

"Oh god, I'm going to be broke after this…" muttered Misty under her breath. "Right there with ya." Cheryl replied looking defeated and fearful at her friend's choice of meal.

"I think I'll order it all!" Announced Ash with a happy smile.

"Ash you eat a lot; this I know. But you can't get everything!" Lance yelled

"Why not?" Ash replied innocently while everyone else around the table sweat dropped.

The waiter returned and once everyone had ordered he was off again. The 9 friends talked, laughed and fought for 10 mins before they where given their meals. Everyone was quiet during the meals, content on eating in a comfortable silence. The group remained in the same place talking and having fun after their meals until they decided to head to the beach or something.

"Check please!" Gary yelled as everyone got ready to leave. Lizzy snickered at the lame line and Gary glared at her. Lizzy looked innocent and the waiter came with their check before another fight could brake out.

Gary gave a low whistle at the price on the check. Sabrina and Lizzy looked over his shoulder and grinned. Misty and Cheryl took the check and screamed. "How could- ohmygod ho- oh god" Cheryl yelled in hysterics. "Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod" Misty muttered in panic over and over.

Brock and Lance took a look at the price and their eyes widened. Ericka took a step away from her hysterical friends. No one said anything for a while before Ash spoke up and shocked everyone. "That's a lot of money. I know you blow up the kitchen and all but…I'll help you guys pay for it." Everyone's jaw dropped to the ground. "What" he questioned at their looks.

Misty and Cheryl snapped out of it and surprised Ash by screaming and jumping on him in a hug. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!" The yelled while hugging him. Ash tried to keep his balance and muttered something about having to breathe before they got down again.

Lizzy sighed "Fine; I'll help as well" Misty and Cheryl smiled and tackled her to the ground in a hug. Lizzy gave a small 'oaf' sound from beneath the two. Sabrina told them she would also help. "But no hugs!" she added and the two paused in their action before taking a step back and smiling innocently.

"Fine I'll be the good guy and help to; no hugs. Oh hell we al will just pitch in." Gary announced while helping Lizzy to her feet. Liz got up and brushed off her skirt while glaring at her attackers who grinned back. "Did they hug me to death because they where happy, or because they wanted to tackle me to death? Could that even be called a hug? Since when is Gary Mr. nice guy. Not only did he say he will help with their money problem but he HELPS ME UP! Humm…his got to be up to something. I WILL find out what; and if his not then shoot me, because I'm positive his up to something! I will find out Gary Oak; mark my words!" Lizzy thought while watching Gary with a critical eye.

Five mins later everyone had paid for dinner and they where heading back to the beach. Lance and Brock where leading talking about the different pokemon foods, while Sabrina and Ericka where talking/fighting behind them. Cheryl, Ash, and Gary where talking about the pokemon league. While at the back Liz and Misty where talking; well Misty was talking while Lizzy continued to wonder what Gary was up to.

"So what do you-" Misty stoped short realising Lizzy wasn't listening instead was looking at Gary. 'Ok what's with her? Usually I would suspect she's in love with him; but I know that's not true. So why does she keep looking at him? –Well duh misty; if you want to find out ask her- Oh right. Who are you? –Your conscience a.k.a the annoying voice in your head. - Oh joy! – Don't use sarcasm on me girl! Sometimes I wonder what you use your brain for. Talk to her you idiot! – Ok god! I'm taking to my self, asking myself questions, answering them, and now I'm insulting myself; huh so this is what it's like to be insane…'

Misty waved her hand in front of Lizzy's face and effectively got her attention. Liz blinked once then turned her head to look at misty with her hands crossed across her chest. "Huh?" She asked with a blank face. "What's up? You're not listening; and you keep looking at Gary." She whispered as to not get the others attention. Not that they would hear; they had fallen behind quiet a bit; but not so much that they could not see them.

Lizzy looked back at Gary while she whispered her answer to misty. "He is being nice; his got to be up to something. I'm going to find out." Lizzy suddenly looked back at Misty and grinned "Want to spy with me? I'll get Cheryl, Ericka and Sabrina and we can find out." Misty grinned and agreed. "Wait do you think Sabrina will go behind her boyfriends back and openly spy on him?"

Misty and Lizzy appeared to ponder on it before they both laughed "Oh yeah". "Ok so we will make a movie night with the others and tell them abut our plan then, sound cool?" Misty grinned at her friend's evilness. "Can't wait."

Back up where Cheryl, Ash and Gary where talking Cheryl could have swan she heard her sisters evil laugh. 'Ok I'm going insane; I think I just got this feeling Lizzy planning something…something big…something evil…something cool and fun…something to do with all the girls…something to do with Gary. Humm...sounds like Lizzy. Either that or I'm going insane.' Cheryl shrugged and got mad when Ash and Gary said that the next pokemon master would be a guy, because girls can't be pokemon masters.

Gary and Ash laughed as Cheryl took their bait and started insulting them in every language she know with every cures and jinx she could think of calling them sexist. 'She is so easy to trick. Lol wow. I just go this major feeling someone is planning agents me! Hum last time I got that feeling Lizzy and I have a mini war concluding with both of us being frozen for a week. I bet she's planning against me again. No matter this will be fun. I can get all the guys to help me. Yeah that will work. It will be hard convincing Brock and Lance; but I can do it! MUHAHA watch out Lizzy; the war is about to begin!' Gary smiled a creepy evil smile making Cheryl and Ash take a few steps away from him with fearful and wide eyes.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The beach 8:50

&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Once everyone was at the beach they decided to go home considering the time; and the fact that they had to leave their pokemon at home and they where worried. They just can't leave for to long; things tend to get out of hand when they do. Although they think they won't be seeing team Rocket for a while; with the loss of all their people; and the brothers they will be staying a way to lick their wounds and gather more people. Which is bad for them; but that means they can get a well need brake.

"OK let's go home." Lance announced. Everyone agreed and got into a circle once again. Sabrina and Gary said a few words and soon the sand started to pick up in a tornado like circle around them again. There was a flash of light and soon the friends where gone; leaving the beach once again deserted and peaceful.

Home 9:00

The friends all landed in a sudden heap of bodies on the kitchen floor. There where yells, fighting and complaints as they all tried to get out of the tangled mess.

"Get your butt out of my face!"

"Ow that was my leg!"

"HEY my arms attached to my body you know!"

"Gary if you don't get off me this second you will be so frozen all week!"

"You people are driving me insain! Since when did I end up on the bottom of the dog pile! Everyone up before I give you a shock that will cause a bad hair day for a week!" (A/N: Guess who that was.)

These were some of the comments and threats yelled around until the group were finally able to get out of the tangled mess.

"Ok I said lets go home. NOT lets go into the forest and attacked by random pokemon!" Lance yelled at Gary and Sabrina.

"Yeah ok we made a little mistake on the landing part of the spell. Be happy we got us out of there in time. Plus I didn't see any of you coming up with ideas to get us out of there!" Gary yelled back.

"OK, ok, shut up! Where all tired, we have had a long day. Let's just get to bed. Things will be better in the morning. Right sub?" Ericka asked Sabrina.

Sabrina nodded then turned to look at Ericka. "Don't call me 'sab'!" Ericka smiled slyly.

"Ok; bed time! Ya know before I go nuts and finally freeze you all for the night." Lizzy said before going up the stairs to bed. All eyes followed her as she left.

Gary went over to Sabrina and gave her a short kiss. "Night guys." He announced before leaving.

Sabrina touched her lips in surprise while smiling. She noticed everyone looking at her and blushed. "Night everyone." She said before she ran up the stairs.

"Oh she is so not getting out of this! Night guys" Cheryl announced to everyone before running up the stairs looking determined.

"Night guys; you can sleep in tomorrow." Lance said before him and broke went to their bedroom.

Soon Ericka was gone as well leaving Ash and Misty their together. "So..." Ash started not really knowing what to say to his best friend.

Misty laughed. "Good night Ash." Ash smiled and when Misty turned to walk away he made a fast decision. Misty was at the bottom of the girls stairs about to go up when she was turned around. She looked up at Ash and was about to ask him what was wrong. When before she could say anything she found his lips on hers. 'Omg what's he doing?!?! –kissing you idiot! Don't just stand there!' Misty's eyes where wide in surprise before she slowly closed them and kissed Ash back.

Ash put his hands around her waist and Misty put hers around his neck. They soon came up for air and looked into each others eyes. "What was that for?" Misty asked confused. Ash gave her that sexy smile that made her knees go weak. "What? Gary can kiss his girlfriend but I can't kiss mine?"

Misty blushed and looked down before looking into his eyes again. "But I'm not your girlfriend." She pointed out. Ash gave her a sly smile. "Oh I haven't done that part yet? I knew there was something I was forgetting. Oh well."

Misty blushed again. "But Ash I'm not your girlfriend, you can't just keep going around kissing me! You- You haven't even asked me out! What if I didn't want to go out with you? What if-" Ash cut of her ramblings by kissing her again. Ash licked her bottom lip asking for entry. Misty opened her mouth gladly and ash started exploring her mouth.

While the kiss got more passionate two sneaky twins were standing up the top of the girl's stair case; with their arms folded over their chest, watching the seen unfolded.

Cheryl leaned in to Lizzy and whispered with a smile on her face. "I told you night time is when all the juicy stuff happens." Lizzy matched her smile with one of her own. "And I told you Gary 20 dollars. So cough it up."

Cheryl's smile was whipped of her face. "Oh man!" She dug into her pocket and pulled out a 20. She handed her the money while cursing under her breath.

Lizzy gave a silent laugh of victory and looked down once again at Misty and Ash. "It's getting a little hot out there. Want to brake them up; or should I?" Lizzy asked with a smile.

Cheryl looked back at the pair. Misty had one hand on the back of his neck and the other through his hair. Ash had one hand under her shirt stroking her back while the other sat lazily on her hip. Cheryl made a face at the scene. "I will. Like now; before they decided to grope each other in the kitchen.

Lizzy made a face at the thought. She hit Cheryl in the stomach. "Thanks for the visual." She added her voice dripping with sarcasm. Cheryl smiled before coughing extremely loud.

Both Ash and Misty jumped apart so fast you would think they where burnt. Misty fixed her top and turned around to face her friends. Her face was flushed and a blush married her face. While Ash stood behind her with a goofy smile on his face.

"Oh hi guys…how long you been there?" Misty asked suddenly finding the tiles interesting.

Cheryl and Lizzy walked the rest of the stairs till, they where in front of Misty. Lizzy smiled "Long enough for me to win $20 dollars."

Ash stepped to Misty's side and put and arm around her waist pulling her to him. Before anyone could say anything there was a flash of light. Everyone looked in the middle of the kitchen and there stood Eric and Ritchie.

"Where have you guys been all this time? You missed out on a lot of fun." Cheryl said while smiling before going up to Ritchie and hugging him.

(A/N: They aren't going out cough yet cough but they have a thing.)

Lizzy smiled and went to hug Eric. "You changed your hair. You got taller. And you have nicer cloths. I like it." Eric smiled before pulling her into another hug.

"Knew you would. Anyway we have been to different parts of the pokemon world; collecting information; nearly getting killed yada, yada." He replied.

"Yeah it was lots of fun." Ritchie looked at Cheryl. "I missed you though. Cheryl blushed and everyone went to sit at the table. Eric and Lizzy sat on the sofa, Cheryl and Ritchie sat on the kitchen bench. And misty and ash sat on two chairs, making a sort of triangle.

Ritchie noticed Ash and Misty holding hands and raised an eye brow. "Things have changed a lot around here ha?" Eric noticed it as well and smiled.

Misty and Ash blushed and looked down while Cheryl and Lizzy smiled. "Yeah we just caught them making out. It was funny." Cheryl said while smiling. She stopped smiling at Lizzy's next statement. "Yeah funny for you until I won the bet and got $20 dollars out of it." She said while waving the money in her hand like an oriental fan.

Everyone laughed at Cheryl's annoyed look before looking at Eric and Richie. "So what happened?" Misty asked while getting more comfortable and resting her head on Ash's chest. Ash smiled at the movement. 'I could get used to this.'

"Well lost of things. But the most important thing was w found a spell that will keep all rockets out of hour house. And out of this area." Eric said rather proud of themselves.

"Cool, can we use the spell?" At everyone's look Lizzy blushed and looked down. "Dumb question got it." Eric smiled and put his arm around her shoulder pulling her closer and making her blush even more.

Cheryl smiled at the sight. "When can we use the spell. Cuz I like the sound of using it as soon as possible." Richie told them they could use the spell tomorrow, but for now they should get some rest.

"We have a big day ahead of us. So if Ash and Misty are done making out in the kitchen, and Cheryl and Lizzy are done laughing at their expense. I suggest we get some sleep." Everyone agreed and soon everyone was up and in their respectful rooms.

TBC

OK I think that was a good chappie, don't you? Ok I would talk right now, but I can't be bothered. So yeah. The next chappie will be good.

Brock: "I'm not sure; but I think that wasn't supposed to happen."

Gary: "This is no way my fault. I would not do that to her!"

Lance: "It's no one's fault…but how do we fix it?"

Eric: "Damn...ok this is bad this- how there really cute like that."

All: "ERIC!!!"
