Disclaimers:
I really don't own Pokémon. If I did, Misty would be long gone. I really don't like Misty that much!! I never liked her and I never will like her! I really do like Officer Jenny a lot!!! I guess it's that short skirt she wears and that cop uniform to boot!
Mario Alvarado's Writer Notes:
Okay. This will be the last time that I will say that this fic is a challenge from DJ Rodriguez, a fellow Pokémon fanfic writer and a good friend of mine. The challenge? He wanted any writer to come up with Pokémon romance fics that have Ash paired up with different girls in the Pokémon series, instead of having those damn Ash/Misty fics. Because of the challenge, I decided to test my luck and write the first EVER Ash/Officer Jenny romance fic on the Internet! But, hey. I'm Mario Alvarado, the writer that likes to see new pairings, so I'm always a sucker for trying something new.
For this chapter, Ash gets ready to meet with Jenny in Celadon City for their date. Unknown to Jenny and him, Gary, Brock and Pikachu are curious to find out which girl Ash is going out with. So, they secretly tag along to see which lucky girl is going to spend the night with the Greatest Pokémon Master Ever! And what will happen when Ash and Jenny met up for their date? Read on!!
An Officer And A Pokémon Master
Chapter 7
When Ash returned back home with Jenny, her Mother nearly went crazy, yelling at her for running away and scolding her for being stupid enough to let Team Rocket inside the house. She stopped yelling when she saw her own daughter cringing in pure fear of the past events and her own Mother's tirade. After Ash took Jenny to his house to recover from her injuries with Delia's help, Ash, Gary and a few officers all took turns looking after Latias, who decided not to stay inside her Luxury Ball and made patrols around the Oak House and Lab, as well as walking around the giant reservation. Lucky for everybody, Team Rocket didn't come back for Latias, but security was tighter from then on.
During Jenny's stay at Ash's house, the young officer noticed how cheerful Delia Ketchum was all the time, how spotless the entire house was. While Ash and his Mom were out doing some shopping one day, Jenny took a peek into Ash's room upstairs and was amazed to see what was inside. There was a ton of Pokémon competition trophies, a few Pokémon plushies from his youth, pictures of him and his friends from past journeys, tons of Pokémon merchandise that he had since he was a kid and a giant poster of Ash's favorite JGTC racing team, the #36 Castrol Tom's Toyota Supra, which made its home on Ash's ceiling. The one thing that caught Jenny's eye as she looked at the many pictures was one with him and Delia, just days before he moved away to live at Indigo Plateau last year. In the picture frame were the words, "No matter how many times you think of my as your little boy, I just want you to know how much I love you."
I just wish Mom and I have the kind of relationship Ash and Mrs. Ketchum have. I'm jealous of him. Jenny thought to herself and exited Ash's room quietly. Jenny was very envious of Ash's great relationship with his Mom, while secretly wishing that she had the same kind of relationship Jenny has with her Mom, but that wouldn't happen even if Hell froze over. Every time Jenny would screw up one job as a Police Officer, her Mother would throw the book at her, making home life a living Hell. Jenny's Mom was a very decorated officer, so she expected her own daughter to be the same. Boy, would she be surprised. Turns out that the most decorated Officer Jenny ever has a daughter that is the worst officer in the world!! That is where all of the friction between Jenny and her Mom exists. So during the stay at Ash's house, Jenny was just happy to get away from her.
Also during this period where Jenny was a guest of the Ketchums, Ash discovered a lot of things about Jenny. Oddly enough, the young officer is much like any other girl he met on his journey. Jenny is obsessed with cute guys, fast sports cars, romance, the newest fashions, music, going to the mall, movies and many countless girl things. Jenny also has a dream about her having a boyfriend and getting married. And there's one thing Ash and Jenny share. They both hate Team Rocket with a passion!! It just sucked that she had to go back home to Celadon City and he was just getting to know her also. For Jenny, she really didn't want to go back home. She really did enjoy spending time with the Greatest Pokémon Master Ever. However, their date was still planned. So, they'll see more of each other soon.
One thing that also made Ash smile a bit was the fact that nobody has seen Team Rocket commit one crime in the past 4 days and Ash liked that. What he didn't like is the fact that all of a sudden, Team Rocket hasn't committed one crime just a day after the failed attempt to capture Latias. He had a gut feeling that Giovanni and his Rockets could be up to something very big and it wasn't going to be good. That was the only thing that worried him the most. Other than that, Ash was excited about tonight.
This was the first time in his "vacation" that he could just really enjoy himself and not worry about ANYTHING!!! Ash knew that Lance would kill Ash if he didn't have a few days to himself and not worry about anything League related. Hell, Ash was supposed to be on a one-month vacation, but all the things that needed his attention started popping up!! So, Ash has been working during his time off, which is not good when you are supposed to be relaxing and put your feet up!!

Pallet has returned to normal after Team Rocket's failed attempt to snatch Latias. As for the Greatest Pokémon Master Ever, he was more preoccupied in making plans for himself and a young Officer he asked out a few days ago. And today, he was going to see her. But, he needed a lingering question answered. A question about life that his Mom could probably have an answer for.
"Mom, you know that I'm 18, right? And you know that I'm the Greatest Pokémon Master Ever? So, is it wrong for me to ask a girl out on a date?" Ash asked his Mother, who was busy getting ready to make dinner for herself and Mimey later on. This got Delia's attention and she turned to face her only child.
"Well, Ash. Many boys your age ask girls out. It's just how young people live life. In your case as the Pokémon Master, that does seem odd for you. Did you ask that nice young officer who stayed here on a date?" Delia asked,
"You guessed it. I'm going off to Celadon City tonight to meet Jenny." Ash answered,
"That nice young lady is perfect for you, Ash. She's kind hearted, very sweet, polite." Delia said, remembering how kind Jenny was. She actually tried to help Delia with her garden, but Delia had to order her back inside the house because she still hasn't recovered yet from the beating Jenny got. Oddly enough, Jenny is a fast healer and her injuries were healed by the time she had to go home.
"Well, nice to know that she has your stamp of approval." Ash said,
"I feel bad for her. Her Mother is really mean to her and she was so afraid of Pikachu." Delia said, remembering how Jenny's Mother would just yell at her for a long time and how Jenny tried to get away from Pikachu when the Pokémon just wanted her to pet him. Jenny was scared for her life just at the sight of little Pikachu.
"I know, Mom. I want to help her out with this. I feel like I have to help her get through her fear of Pokémon. I bet it has something to do with Latias." Ash said. He looked at his watch. It was now 5:20. He promised Jenny that he would pick her up at the Celadon City Pokémon Center by 6. So, he had to get going.
"Are you leaving so soon, Ash? I didn't think you'd be leaving now to meet her." Delia said,
"I did say I'd pick her up in Celadon City at 6 tonight. So, I'd better get going so she doesn't think I'm late." Ash said as he grabbed his car keys from the key holder in the living room. Delia was looking at her son's choice of wardrobe for his date he's going on. It was nothing formal. Just a shirt and tie, blue jeans and black sneakers and Ash trademark Pokémon League cap. Not what Delia would expect her son to wear on his first ever date with a girl.
"And you're going out in that?" Delia asked, point out to Ash his wardrobe for the night's events.
"Mom, it's just a casual meeting between us. If we do decide to go out again next time, I'll let you decide what I should wear. Deal?" Ash asked,
"Deal. Whatever floats your boat, Ash. Have fun on your date, son." Delia said,
"Sure thing, Mom." Ash exited the house after giving his Mom a quick kiss on her cheek. He walked over to his parked Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, complete with racing modifications and unlocked the doors with his remote door unlocker and alarm arm device. Just before Ash got inside his rare American sports car, he felt like somebody was near him. Sure enough, when Ash got out of the Corvette, there was Gary, Brock and Pikachu standing at the back of his car. Actually, Gary and Brock were next to the car, while Pikachu was sitting on the rear of the Corvette.
"Hey, Ashy boy. Where are you going?" Gary asked,
"Oh, out. Just to get some time alone to myself." Ash answered. He really didn't want these three talking to him right now. He needed to get to Celadon City to meet Jenny, but he didn't want to let the guys in on it, knowing that he will get heckled about it for days.
"Pikachu, pika pika. Pi pikachu." Pikachu said, trying to coax Ash into taking him to wherever Ash was going to, but not this time.
"Not this time, Pikachu. I have something to take care of by myself. We can hang out again tomorrow." Ash said. Apparently, Pikachu doesn't like it when Ash goes off alone by himself.
"Pikachu!!" Pikachu said angrily and hoped onto Gary's head as a sign of protest to Ash. For some reason, Brock knew what Ash's game is.
"You're trying to talk us away because you have something big to go do, don't you?" Brock asked. This caught Ash by surprise, but he should have known it.
"Not really. I'm off on a drive anywhere, that's all." Ash answered,
"That's not the case, Ash. I bet you got a hot date to go to." Brock said,
"Pikapi chu Pika pika?!!" Pikachu asked, not believing that Ash would be going on a date, let alone ask a girl to go out with him.
"I bet Ash does have a date tonight. Come on, Ash. Who is she?" Gary asked as the three looked straight at Ash, trying to get to the bottom on this. Now, it was Ash's turn to make them wonder about who his date is. Gary has kept his relationship with Giselle a secret from Ash and now, it was Ash's turn to keep his date with Jenny a secret from the three.
"Like you said to me, Gary. That's for me to know and you to never find out." Ash said as he got into and slammed the door of his Corvette Grand Sport, started the powerful, race tuned V8 engine and sped off like a racecar driver does as he's leaving his pit box on pit road. He left Brock, Pikachu and Gary in his dust.
"My, my. Looks like Ashy boy has a secret date tonight. Want to find out who it is?" Gary asked,
"Sure thing!! I wonder what is Ash's tastes in women." Brock said mischievously,
"Pikachu!!!" Pikachu agreed,
"Well, I overheard he and Delia talking about him going to Celadon City tonight when I came by to see what he was up to. So, let's hear there." Gary said,
"I just hope Ash doesn't kill all of us for this." Brock said,
"Pika pika." Pikachu added. Now with Brock and Pikachu with him to spy on Ash, Gary and the two got into Gary's brand new Dodge Viper SRT-10, started up the powerful V10 engine and sped off after Ash. The reason Gary bought a new sports car that is more powerful than Ash's Chevrolet Corvette? Simple. Gary wanted to have a car that stands out more than Ash's Vette. But, Ash's Grand Sport is still the eye catcher in the Pokémon League HQ.

+ + + + + + + + + +
Officer Jenny meanwhile, is patiently waiting Ash's arrival at the Celadon City Pokémon Center. Actually, it's the same Pokémon Center Jenny's best friend Joy, is currently working in. Ever since the Oak Laboratory debacle, the higher ups in the Police Force decided to place the young Jenny on an indefinite state of leave, giving them some time to figure out if Jenny was cop material. This did not bode well for Jenny's Mom, who was irate that her superiors would take her own daughter off the force just because she's the worst cop in history. In reality, the higher ups felt bad for Jenny because they know that she's not police officer material.
Right now, Joy was done with her assigned tasks and was now drilling Jenny about how in the blue hell she got a date with the Greatest Pokémon Master Ever. And they were acting like lovesick schoolgirls!
"I tell you, Joy. I'm nervous as hell right now. I still can't believe that I'm going out on a date with Ash Ketchum!!" Jenny said, trying her best to control her emotions about going on a date with Ash. Joy on the other hand, was so jealous of her inept cop friend.
"I wish I was in your position, Jenny. I mean, Ash Ketchum is so cute. Any girl would kill to be in your place, even me." Joy said,
"I know, I know. You hate me, don't you?" Jenny asked,
"Heck no, Jenny. I'm happy for you. I mean, you deserve this date with Ash Ketchum, The Greatest Pokémon Master Ever. After all the crap that you had to go through, being the youngest Officer Jenny to ever enter the police force. And to put up with your Mom just constantly bitching at you." Joy said,
"I know. But, I'm wondering. Do you think I should have gone home first and got an outfit that is more appropriate for a date with the Greatest Pokémon Master Ever? I think he'll expect me to wear something other than my police uniform." Jenny said, pointing to her uniform she was wearing.
'Well, Jenny. From knowing you for a long time, I think you should let your hair down from the usual Jenny hairstyle. And get rid of that cap also. You're not on duty." Joy said. Jenny decided to take Joy's advice and took off her police cap and Jenny removed the thing holding her hair in the traditional Officer Jenny hairstyle and let her long, blue hair down for the first time in a while. Jenny's hair freely flowed down from her shoulders and ended halfway down her back. So, Jenny's hair was pretty long! The kind of hair any guy would like to run his fingers through while admiring Jenny's lovely brown eyes. Joy nodded in agreement and Jenny took out a small mirror and looked at herself with her hair down.
"I didn't know my hair is this long? Gee, maybe I should have it cut down. No wonder it took me forever to put this up in the regulated hairstyle." Jenny said as she ran her fingers through her long hair.
"Now you look much better." Joy said, but she saw Jenny have some second thoughts about this.
"I don't know, Joy. Do you think Ash would it if I let my hair down like this?" Jenny asked,
"Well, Jenny. Why don't you ask him? Ash Ketchum is right over there." Joy said as he pointed to the entrance of the Pokémon Center and sure enough, there was Ash. And nobody knew he was there!!! Ash looked around the center, trying to find Jenny. Immediately, Jenny started getting cold feet and Joy noticed this.
"He's here?!! Oh, god. What do I do?" Jenny said, her panicked side was now taking over, but Joy knew how to take care of that.
"Go meet him." Joy said as she pushed Jenny out from where they were and into the sight of Ash Ketchum. Ash and Jenny made eye contact and the two walked up to each other and said hi, although both of them were very shy about it. Ash was just taken back on how much better Jenny looks with her blue hair down and how long her hair is, while Jenny was too busy looking at Ash's eyes and just getting lost in them. Though, Jenny did take a peek or two at Ash's shirt and tie, which showed off a bit of Ash's sculpted body. Joy just watched on as finally and Ash and Jenny started making small talk.
It's about time those two started talking. I swear, Ash and Jenny are made for each other. I bet the two of them are going to stare at each other a lot during their date. Oh, looks like they're off. Good luck, Jenny. You deserve him. Joy thought to herself. It was now time for Joy to finish her day inside the Pokémon Center and attend to a group of evolved Eevee that she was tending to before her break.

Both Ash and Jenny left the Celadon City Pokémon Center and were walking to the parking lot where Ash parked his Corvette. During the walk, Jenny was happy that she was with Ash again and her shyness was gone, as was Ash's shyness from inside. Actually, Ash didn't have time to plan anything for Jenny and him. He was too busy worrying about how to impress Jenny in hopes that she will go out with him again. Ironically, Jenny was thinking the same thing. She wanted to impress Ash into asking her out also.
"So, Ash. Where's your car?" Jenny asked as the two headed for the parking lot, which was near the Pokémon Center. Already, Jenny was feeling a bit better.
"Oh, it's parked out in the parking lot. You're probably wondering what the Greatest Pokémon Master Ever drivers don't you?" Ash asked,
"Well, I'm just curious. I bet you're like Lance. He drives a Ferrari Enzo." Jenny said. Ash knew about Lance's love for Ferrari road cars, since he is a big Formula One and Michael Schumacher fan to boot. Oddly enough, most of the Elite Four and a good portion of the Pokémon League big wigs drive Italian super cars like Ferraris and Lamborghinis or European sports cars, like Mercedes Benz cars, BMWs, Audis, Porsches and Aston Martins. Ash and Gary are the only members of the league that prefer to own American sports cars, although rumor has it, when Lorelei was still in the Elite Four, she was rumored to own around 4 American sports cars.
"Just wait, Jenny." Ash said. The two arrived at the parking lot. There was Ash's Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, parked right next to... a BMW Z4?!! Immediately, Jenny ran to check out the BMW, thinking that it was Ash's car.
"Hey, that's a nice looking BMW you have. You do have a great taste in cars." Jenny said as she walked up to the German car and got a close look at it. She thought it was Ash's, but she was shocked to hear what would come out of his mouth next.
"Damn son of a bitch wants to park his German car next to MY Corvette?!! Who does he think he is? I hate German cars!" Ash muttered to himself. Jenny looked up at Ash, surprised to hear that this wasn't his car.
"What this BMW isn't yours?" Jenny asked,
"That is my car." Ash said as he pointed to the blue and white car next to him. Jenny's eyes nearly popped right out of their sockets. This was the first time she has ever laid eyes on the special edition Corvette that Chevrolet made to send off the C4 Corvette model line in its final production year.
"WHAT?!! You own one of the rarest Corvettes in existence?!! How?!!" Jenny asked as she started going nuts by looking at the car up close. Actually, Jenny was eyeing the Grand Sport's trademark admiral blue paint job with the white racing stripe down the middle of the car and the red flare marks on the left side fender.
"I bought this car from one of Gary's friends. He got this car from one of his rich family members as a present, but he doesn't like Corvettes that much. He's more of a Ford Mustang man. So, he talked to Gary about anybody that is interested in buying a Corvette. So, Gary called me up to ask me if I wanted to buy a Corvette. I was thinking it was the Z06, but when I heard it was a Grand Sport, armed to the teeth with racing modifications, I just bolted to the guy's home and bought it that same day." Ash said, telling the story on how he bought his Corvette, but it looks like Jenny wasn't listening because she was trying to look at the interior of the car. At that point, Ash unlocked the car via remote. Without asking, Jenny opened the door and took a look at the interior, which made the Grand Sport a collector's item.
"WOW!! This IS a Grand Sport!! It even has the special Grand Sport logo on the seats!! And you... replaced the gear shifter?" Jenny questioned as she noticed the racing like sequential shifter, which replaced the Grand Sport's normal 6-speed shifter. Ash opened the driver's door to explain.
"Well, the guy who I bought this from suggested that I get a faster shifter for much easier gear changes. Lo and behold, he put in a sequential shifter." Ash answered,
"Well, I'll be damned!!! I'm impressed, Ash. This is one bitchin' car!!" Jenny said, still admiring the inside of the car.
"What are you waiting for, Jenny? Hop inside." Ash said,
"Are you kidding me? I'm just a cop!! I'm not worthy!!" Jenny said, now having second thoughts about getting into Ash's one of a kind sports car.
"Oh, Jenny. Come inside." Ash said as he got inside the driver's seat of the Corvette, reached out and grabbed Jenny's arm and dragged her inside the car.
"I bet you've never been inside a real car like this before." Ash said, noticing how Jenny was just looking all inside the car. She was more than amazed.
"Are these seats leather? They are so comfortable. I could just fall asleep in this." Jenny said,
"Well, don't doze off. I got a few surprised I wanted to show you about this car." Ash said as he put the key in the ignition and started up the powerful V8 engine. Moments later, Ash pulled the shifter towards him to engage 1st gear and took off out of the parking lot like a bat out of Hell!! Jenny's eyes just widened as the force of the acceleration and torque of the American made V8 engine just pushed her into the passenger seat and they sped off into Celadon City.
End Of Chapter 7
Okay, I know that you're wondering why I ended here? It just that I have no good experience with making date scenes!! But, I think I have something brewing in my mind. Anyway, Chapter 8 will really be devoted to Ash and Jenny's date!! I promise!! I swear!!!
Anyway, my good friend DJ Rodriguez has just survived his finals in college and his anxiety attack is all over. Which is good news for me, because I usually go to him and get some chapter ideas when my friggin' writer's block comes into play!!! So, I asked him to help me out with the big date scene, because I can't really make a good one. And as always, he gets all the credit for the idea. I don't want him to kill me for plagiarism.
Man, with all the help he's given me these past few months, I owe him a lot!!! Hey, DJ! If you're reading this and need any help, just give me a shout out!!!! Kay?
Other than that, Christmas time is coming and I may have a few Xmas fics in the back burner of my mind! And I may want to get them out before Saint Nick comes by and gives me that Game Boy Advance SP I asked for. Then, I can finally play Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire!!!!
Have a question, comment or anything like that? Send them all to Hornet19us@Yahoo.com. And as always, please read and review. I'll read anything good or bad. And like I said, Chapter 8 will be the big date with Ash and Jenny!! I swear to Dale Earnhardt and Ayrton Senna!!!!
