Brock woke up first.
Since he wasn't one of the people who couldn't sleep because of 'feeling out of place.' He got up and went downstairs to check out of the hotel and maybe flirt a little with Nurse Joy. He got excited just thinking about the nurse. He instantly got up dressed himself in his usual clothes. Both pikachu and piplup also woke up and went downstairs to get some pokefood breakfast while Brock dressed himself. Brock rushed out the door, into the hallway, but as he was about to run down the stairs. Croagunk popped out of his ball near the beginning of the stairs and stuck out his poisoned hand. Brock was running full speed and due to his momentum, he got hit by the attack, paralyzed from the poison, and couldn't help himself while flying down the stairs, hard.
CRASH!
"Wha waz zat?" moaned out Ash. He looked around himself. He still had the hourglass figure of a girl.
"Hrrgh" Ash had let out.
Heart Swap apparently hasn't expired yet, but that was strange since the last few times this has happened the effect ended in a couple of hours, but not this time. He played a little with Dawn's hands, it was weird having smaller hands.
Ash went over to 'Ash' who was still sleeping. It was strange for Ash to see himself sleep, even though it was his body. Ash poked her awake.
"Dawn were still the same."
Dawn turned over and looked at Ash sleepily. That soon changed as she turned red and turned over away from Ash.
"Dawn? What's wrong?"
Dawn fidgeted a little uncomfortably, "well...it's just that...I kinda saw your...seviper."
Now it was Ash's turn to turn red. "Oh" and in an attempt to try lighten the awkwardness, "did you like what you saw?"
Dawn turned around mad, and punched Ash. But remember, Dawn is in Ash's body and while in her own body, she can hit as hard as she can and cause little damage, but being in Ash's body...
"ARGHH!" Ash was rolling on the floor in pain holding his face. Dawn instantly jumped out of bed and went over to Ash and kept apologizing.
"I'm so sorry Ash! I didn't know you were so strong! Please forgive me!"
"Aw my neck" it was absolutely the worst time for Brock to come in. Dawn absolutely froze when Brock just saw Ash bending over trying to get Dawn off the floor, his hand still in a fist, Dawn is rolling in the floor in pain very near tears. Ash also saw that Brock had come in and also froze realizing that what Brock is looking at, is a big misunderstanding.
Dawn was the first to speak up, "Brock? There is a reasonable explanat-"
"WHAT THE HELL ASH! WHAT REASON COULD YOU GIVE FOR PUNCHING DAWN IN THE FACE"
"Well actually, ha, its kinda a funny story, see what happened was that-"
"I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS ASH! AS MUCH AS IT SEEMS REALLY OUT OF CHARACTER FOR YOU! I THOUGHT YOU HAD MORE RESPECT FOR DAWN! YOU KNOW I REALLY WANT TO KICK YOUR ASS RIGHT NOW!"
"WAIT!" Ash finally spoke up. He slowly staggered his way to his feet and got in between Dawn and Brock. "This is a misunderstanding Brock. Da-Ash didn't hit me. I got up and tripped over the sheets and hit myself on the doorknob to the bathroom."
Brock pulled Ash aside leaving Dawn frightened beyond her wits from fears of getting beat up from Brock.
"Are you sure about this? It's okay Dawn, I can protect you from him. Tell me the truth." Brock whispered to Ash.
Ash for a second considered telling Brock what happened between himself and Dawn. "I am telling the truth Brock. Daw-Ash! Ash was just helping me up."
"I'm not sure about that" Brock then looked at Dawn menacingly and Dawn cowered a few steps back.
"Brock look at me" Ash finally moved his hand away from Dawns face revealing a big black swollen eye.
"I would rather not" Brock just realizing what he said, turned to face Ash hoping she would not be too mad.
Ash smiled at the little joke. "Yeah I know I look pretty bad, but trust me Ash didn't hurt me."
Brock smiled and then asked Dawn. "Is this true Ash, you were just helping her after she fell?"
Dawn instantly took the save offered her. "Yes, it was an unfortunate fall."
"Well then I'm sorry for accusing you of something Ash. Friends?" Brock extended his hand.
"No need to worry" Smiling Dawn took Brock's hand. It was a normal handshake but for Dawn, Brock squeezed too hard. She wasn't used to being treated a little rougher for being a guy.
Brock then left the room to get some breakfast allowing both Ash and Dawn to relax.
"That was a close one. You really got to watch your temper Dawn, your not a weak little girl anymore."
"Hey, I'm not little, and I'm definitely not weak." She stamped Ash's foot on the floor and started to pout.
"Temper temper Dawn, or maybe this time I will let Brock actually mess you up, it would do you some good. Oh by the way guys don't pout."
Dawn then stopped her pout and looked away angrily.
"Oh and maybe you should clean yourself up, I can smell you a mile away." Ash continued.
Dawn was slightly embarrassed, she had always prided herself on being clean and smelling fresh, she started to smell herself.
"I don't smell anything? You sure?"
"Oh yeah."
"Huh, I guess thats why guys always smell, they can't smell themselves."
Ash was a little irritated from that insult and Dawn began to turn toward the door. As she was exiting she suddenly turned and told something to Ash that left him feeling self-conscious and red.
"Oh by the way I wasn't impressed by what I saw."
Dawn went downstairs and found that pikachu and piplup were sitting at a table with Brock who waved her over. "Hey over here!" Dawn got himself a plate and filled her plate with fruit and got a small glass of milk. Dawn found the plate to be lighter than usual, must be due to using Ash's muscle.
"Wow Ash, is that all your eating, wait a minute..." Dawn froze for a while wondering what Brock suspected. She hoped it wasn't that she really wasn't Ash. "You never eat only fruit, something up Ash?"
"Oh Brock I just thought I would start with a light breakfast this time." Dawn waved him off. Brock and pikachu looked at him curiously for acting so strange for a boy.
"Move over! Here I come!" Ash suddenly burst in with a plate loaded with all the different types of breakfast food there was. Ash looked out of breath from carrying the big plate.
"Things are a little heavier now aren't they" Dawn hissed quietly to Ash.
Before Ash could reply back, Brock spoke up. "Whoa Dawn, Can you even put all this down?" He was amazed at the spread Ash set himself.
"Sure because you know, a big stomach must go with a big mouth" Ash said looking toward Dawn who just silently and furiously took that insult. Ash was still upset by Dawn's last comment.
"Um sure if you say so Dawn" replied Brock confused as to whether 'Dawn' meant what he said about himself. While piplup looked just as confused as Brock was.
As breakfast went on Dawn easily finished her food, yet she still felt hungry especially when she looked over to all the food Ash had left on his plate.
"Whats a matter Dawn? Bit a little more than you could chew" joked Brock.
"I didn't think I would feel so full so fast" replied Ash rubbing Dawn's stomach.
"Well then you won't mind if I take this off of your hands. After all, you know I am like a town dump, I eat any and all garbage." Dawn said sticking Ash's tongue at him helping herself to Ash's leftovers. Ash felt himself seething as he just absorbed the verbal blow. Brock, pikachu, and piplup just looked at each other just as confused as the other.
Ash, Dawn, Pikachu, Piplup, and Croagunk, dragging Brock, left the pokemon center.
"Honestly Brock why do you keep trying to hit on Nurse Joy when you know Croagunk is always on your belt." sighed Dawn.
"Well Ash" just instantly recovering from Croagunk's paralyzing poison making Dawn jump back "A wise man once told me 'live and learn' so I live by asking out every beautiful babe and learn from all the rejections"
Dawn sighed, Brock looked at her funny, and Ash was oblivious to the whole conversation.
Later that day Brock decided to set camp up in a clearing they found. "Hey Ash help me set up the tent."
"Sure Brock"
"Um actually Dawn I need Ash for this?"
"What?" then Ash remembered that he was Dawn. "Oh yeah, sorry" he then moved over to where Dawn was tending the pokemon. "So Dawn its time to use that friend beating strength to good use" Ash pointed toward where Brock was overwhelmed with setting up the tent.
"But I don't know what to do." Dawn started making excuses not wanting to do the work.
"Oh no you don't." Ash took away the pokefood from Dawn, "Now go do some hard work while I enjoy taking the easy life" smiling he turned his attention toward the pokemon.
Dawn shooting a sour look at Ash then said "It is not as easy as it looks Ash" and went to go help Brock reluctantly.
Well Dawn was right. An argument broke out between swinub and piplup as swinub just ate all of his food. Well swinub getting annoyed with a whining piplup, pushed him into buizel. Buizel upset, shot out a water gun, piplup ducked and the water gun ended up hitting chimchar. Chimchar doesn't appreciate getting hit with a water gun, especially on his fiery behind. Chimchar just instantly turned around and used flamethrower in a random direction. Sudowoodo ended up getting hit trying to protect happiny, happiny was not gonna take that assault sitting down and went on a rampage. Knocking over every other pokemon except for gliscor who was hanging upside down from a nearby tree laughing at everyone, and croagunk who just kept staring at his reflection out of a water bucket during the bloodbath. Buneary who was annoyed at gliscor shot out ice beam out of annoyance and it froze one of gliscor's leg. Gliscor, who is not really much of a brawler, just cried and started to glide toward Dawn who was supposed to watch take care of her.
Ash, who was gliscor's target, was trying to calm everyone down, the only other pokemon trying to help him was pikachu. Not realizing until too late, gliscor crashed into him. Well gliscor landing on him made Ash fall over on top of the unsuspecting pikachu. Pikachu just finally had enough and created the biggest thunderbolt he has made in a long time, frying everyone in the radius.
Brock came over and helped pull Ash out of the wreckage of pokemon that he was buried in. Sputtering out the ash in his mouth, Dawn came close to him and leaned over and said,
"Not as easy as you thought it was, was it?"
Ash looked up to see that she was smiling a victorious smile. Ash thought for a while, of what to say to wipe that grin off her face. When it came to him.
"Well Ash, caring for pokemon is very dirty work, so if you don't mind, I'm going to over the pond across the field over there, and take a bath."
Authors original notes below
"I'm beginning to think, updating everyday would be rather inconvienant for me. Forcing myself to write something new, well kind of, would probably end up degrading the quality of my fic. I have read the reviews of this fic, so i came back and tried to update the grammer and such. I wrote another fanfic, the whole cliche high school thing, but i canned it. Just didn't where i wanted it too, I need to try more original ideas, something like this, the whole heart swap thing is not original but it is not as rampant as finding garchomp in wifi battling. I did a new fic, lets see how this one goes, its gonna be much darker than anything i will probably ever write for some time. Just so you know i like to keep things somewhat cannon. For instance you will never see things that don't normally happen in the anime happen in my fics, such as Ash all of a sudden dual wielding pistols."
