Lavender Town
Ash, Brock, Misty and Sabrina, had just come out of some caves when they were welcomed with the most wonderful sight. WELCOME TO LAVENDER TOWN. The four trainers were making their way to the pokemon centre, when they heard a lot of noise coming from one of the local shops. A few seconds later, they saw two Pokemon, one was a Ghastly and the other was a Haunter. The Haunter seemed to have his arms full of food. The two ghost Pokemon were followed by the shop keeper shouting behind them. Ash and the gang raced up to the shop owner. They noticed that Ghastly and Haunter had long gone.
"Excuse me sir, is there anything we can do to help?" Ash looked over the store. It was a real mess, food and other goods were spilled over the floor, the walls were caked with what appeared to be sludge, which was most likely from Haunters sludge bomb attack.
The shop keeper turned around and looked at the four young trainers "Huh. More trouble makers from out of town. Why can't you just leave our small town alone? We have enough trouble with the spooky duo."
Ash was guessing the spooky duo the man was talking about was the Haunter and Ghastly they had just seen. He was about to reply when they heard the sound of a motor bike with the sirens blaring. The bike pulled over in front of them.
"Mr Simmons, is everything okay? Your alarm went off at our station. Tell me, did these four stranger try to rob you?"
"No Officer Jenny not these four strangers, it was that bloody spooky duo, left my shop in a right mess, they got away with quite a bit of food too."
Officer Jenny started taking notes down of what happened. It seemed that these ghost Pokemon were causing more trouble than she first realized. Normally, they would play the odd prank here and there, which the locals would accept, but recently, they had started to attack and steal from the local community. She looked up from her notes to the far side of the town, there she could see the tower reaching above everything else. That was another thing that had her stumped. The tower doors had just locked themselves, even the caretaker could do nothing, cause every time he got close, he was bombarded with sludge bombs from the tower window. Officer Jenny was brought out of her thinking by Brock, who decided it was a good idea to try to swoon her.
"Oh Officer Jenny, will you be mine? The Cosmos have brought us together for on this fateful day, so that we might declare our love for each other."
Misty gritted her teeth. She was about to pull him back by his ear when Sabrina grabbed her arm and smirked at her. Misty had no clue what Sabrina was up to but decided to allow her to handle it. This turned out to be a great choice as Brock was lifted up, in mid air, then floated towards a open trash can. Misty looked on in amazement as Sabrina made Brock spin so that his head was pointing straight downwards. Misty watched Sabrina plunge Brock head first into the trash with his legs dangling at the top.
"Well that's original sister, I will give you that." Sabrina and Misty began laughing amongst themselves, meanwhile Ash was talking with Officer Jenny about the strange happening of the town.
"So, Officer Jenny, how long have Ghastly and Haunter been causing trouble?"
Officer Jenny looked at the younger trainer inquiring about the happenings of the town. "Well ghost Pokemon are not uncommon here in Lavender Town. We are use to the odd scare or prank, however, a week ago they started to steal food and blankets. They normally hang out in the Pokemon tower, as it's a huge tourist attraction for visitors from the other regions, but in the last week the tower as been under lock down, not even the caretaker can get in without being blasted by sludge bombs."
Ash was deep in thought. He knew the tower was famous for ghost Pokemon, after all the reason they had come here was so he could add one too his team, so either way, he would have to try confront the ghostly duo and see what was happening. With the power of poke speech on his side as well, he knew that he had the advantage.
"Officer Jenny, will you allow me and my friends to try and help? Recently we have stopped a number of team Rocket plots, and along the way have helped plenty of Pokemon that were in trouble."
Just as Officer Jenny was about to reply she heard another loud noise a few streets down, Officer Jenny offered Ash a lift, they made sure Ash friend knew were they were heading. Ash hopped on the bike and they both raced towards the disturbance, it didn't take long to get there. Ash hopped off the bike and saw the spooky duo just about run away.
"Pikachu, Thunder wave now!"
Pikachu jumped off Ash shoulder and dispersed a huge electrical wave paralyzing Haunter and Ghastly in place. Pikachu raced up to the two ghost Pokemon.
"Okay you two, spill. Why are you stealing food from these people?"
Haunter and Ghastly were still suffering from the static effects and were having trouble giving an answer.
"Egg hatched, baby Litwick needed food and warmth, since trainer forget him. Gengar, Ghastly and I have been looking after it. Protecting it from other trainers who wish to catch him. Litwick rare Pokemon. All the way from Unova."
Unknown to the spooky duo, Ash had been listening in on the conversation. He now understood what was happening. He cautiously made his way over to the still stunned spooky duo.
"So you two are stealing food and other stuff, because a baby Pokemon in your care needs it?"
Haunter and Ghastly looked at each other, in confusion. They both then turned to Ash and floated towards him
"You understand us human?"
"Yes I can understand you. A gift from one of my most powerful friends. Tell you what; instead of stealing those items, allow me to pay for them. At least you won't be in much trouble then. Afterwards, take the stuff to Gengar and Litwick, if you need any more help, I will be at the Pokemon centre."
Haunter and Ghastly nodded their heads then floated off towards the Pokemon tower. Ash turned around and walked back to the shop keeper. "Here is $300 poke dollars. I hope this will help cover the food and stuff stolen. The ghost should not bother you again after tonight."
The shop keeper accepted the payment and turned back to his store, to begin the clean up. Ash decided to make his way back to the Pokemon centre, luckily Officer Jenny had offered him a lift, so he found himself outside the centre doors in record time. Ash thanked Jenny then walked into the centre. He looked around to see if he could see his three friends, unfortunately the lobby was empty, so he had guessed they might have gone up to their room. He walked up to the counter and rang the bell. Nurse Joy appeared out of one of the offices.
"Yes can I help you?" Ash removed his Pokedex from his pocket and handed it to nurse Joy.
"I was wondering if you had seen three of my friends, one was a tall boy with spiky hair, and the other were two girls; one with orange hair and one with purple hair. They most likely had a Lucario with them."
Nurse Joy smiled. "Of course. They said they were waiting for a fourth member, something about you helping Officer Jenny with her investigation. They asked me to keep your room key with me so that I could give you it once I had registered you. Now do you have any Pokemon that need healing?"
Ash removed four poke balls from his training belt. Ash handed them over "Just a quick heads up, one of them is a legendary and she can get very picky."
Nurse Joy smiled then handed Ash his room key and Pokedex back. She then left Ash alone while she went and treated his Pokemon. Ash yawned and walked towards the living area. It did not take him long to find his room, unfortunately when he opened it someone was waiting for him.
"Misty and Brock decided to take one room. Brock decided as we are fated to be with each other than we should get use to it. Now what side do you want?"
Ash backed up against the door in shock, there, in front of him, was Sabrina, only dressed in a purple tank top and purple boy shorts. Her hair had been tied into two ponytails, which fell down on either side of her head. Now Ash was not clueless about girls, he had read enough books and been given the talk from his mum and dad, but to have a girl in the flesh in a room alone was giving him goose bumps.
Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Ash, you are my future husband, although I am not ready for a commitment like that. I am, however, ready to be your girlfriend, so you seeing me in my sleepwear shouldn't be such a big deal, now get dressed and come to bed. I want you to tell me all about your encounter with Haunter and Ghastly. By the way, Knuckles is in his poke ball, he is in my bag if you wanted to know."
Ash grabbed his bag and moved into the en-suite and began to change into his t-shirt. He didn't normally wear bottoms just his boxers, so he hoped he wouldn't scare her off by is morning reaction. He quickly brushed his teeth and gave his face a quick wash. He stepped out of the room and walked to the bed. He already found Sabrina waiting for him. He climbed under the covers and watched as Sabrina shuffled closer to him. She laid her head in the crock of his neck and pulled his arm around her waist.
Pikachu looked on from the bottom of the bed with a amusement at the horror of Ash face having a girl in bed with him. However sleep soon began to take over and Pikachu began to drift off to sleep.
Pokemon Tower
Gengar : So your saying this human just paid the shop keeper so you could keep the stuff and bring it here for Litwick?
Haunter : That's right boss. He asked us why we were stealing all this stuff. As soon as he found out about the baby Pokemon we were looking after, he just told us to take the stuff and he will pay for it, plus if we have any more trouble or any other problems then he is willing to help us.
Gengar: How unusual. Tell me Haunter do you think this human can be trusted?
Haunter: I do boss, besides you know Litwick has been feeling ill over the last few days. Everything we have done to help as failed. Maybe its time to bring in some outside help.
Gengar: Very well Haunter. Tomorrow you will leave and find this trainer. Bring him to the tower so that I may talk to him privately.
Next day
Ash woke up, and as he tried to move, he felt a huge weight on his arm, however when he tried to move it he heard a soft moan. He turned and found his face was obscured by a strands of purple hair, which was giving off a jasmine and vanilla scent. It was then that Ash registered what had happened last night. For the first time in his life, he had shared a bed with a girl. Unfortunately sleeping with Sabrina and morning routine had left Ash with a problem. Morning wood. What made it more uncomfortable was Sabrina had swung her leg over his groin area in the middle of the night, and now found Sabrina rubbing herself subconsciously against him. Ash began to panic, warning bells were going off. Of course if he was older it might be different, however he was only thirteen, and he knew this behaviour was not acceptable. He carefully slid out of bed and ran to the bathroom, however he failed to notice a certain Purple hair gym leader had one of her eyes opened watching his every move, from the bed to the bathroom.
Ash looked into the bathroom mirror after taking care of his little problem. He looked into the glass, but did not see himself. Instead he saw a purple scary face. The face of a Haunter.
"The boss would like to see you at the tower as soon as possible." Ash nodded to the ghost Pokemon "Tell Gengar I will be there within the hour." Ash watched Haunter vanish into the wall, he heard a faint knock on the door.
"Ash hurry up, I would like to take a shower today." Ash unlocked the door, and tried to get out, however Sabrina was trying to get in. Ash felt Sabrina bum brush over his manhood. He hissed at the brief contact. He failed to see the big grin plastered on Sabrina face
"Like what you see Ash?" Ash ignored the question and quickly moved into the room, allowing Sabrina to close the door behind her. Ash's action however, didn't go unnoticed by a certain mouse Pokemon, who was grinning from ear to ear.
"Come on Boss, she wants you so bad, are you so clueless you can't see when a mate is performing in front of you?"
Ash sighed and carried on getting dressed "Look Pikachu, I get that she leading me on, however I am only thirteen. I have plenty of time for that type of stuff, but at present I have only two things on my mind winning gym battles and training you guys. If I am honest Sabrina comes a close third. Just wait till I get my hands on Brock for setting this up. I am so going to kill him.
Pikachu rolled around on the floor laughing. Suddenly the bathroom door opened up revealing a smiling Sabrina just in her towel. She ignored Ash reaction and began to get dressed. Totally oblivious to Ash standing there. She turned around "Ash could you grab me a bra and some underwear from my bag please. Any will do."
Ash turned and took hold of Sabrina bag, he dug around until he found a nice lilac thong and bra set. Closing his eyes he held out the garments to Sabrina. She took them from him, giggling. "You know Ash, we're be married one day. I don't mind you looking, in fact, it makes me feel good that you have this reaction to me. It means the bond is forming between us."
Ash opened his eyes carefully and saw Sabrina had already dressed in her bra and thong, and was now putting on a short mini skirt and purple tank top. Ash watched Sabrina pull her hair out from her top then started to brush it gently. He then watched her apply some make up. Finally after 30 minutes of getting herself ready, they both left the room. Pikachu perched on Ash shoulder started laughing again. Especially when Ash almost froze when Sabrina grabbed his hand, interlacing her fingers with his.
Brock and Misty were at one of the tables reading the local news. Misty was getting impatient "Just where the hell are those two anyway, its almost 11am." Brock looked up from his paper and shrugged his shoulder, in truth he wasn't that worried. The only thing in town was the Pokemon tower, which was closed, so as far as he was concerned he wouldn't mind if Sabrina and Ash were getting to know each other on a more personal level.
"Look Misty, we both agreed to allow them some space. After all, according to Sabrina this bond she shares with Ash needs to form, and it can only do that if the two of them stay in close proximity of each other. There is not much to do in town anyway. You know we are here so Ash can add a Ghost Pokemon to his team. Once he has one, then it is straight onto Celedon city for his rainbow badge, if were lucky we will be able to hit Saffron and then to Fuchsia, before finally hitting Vermillion, as according to the guide we can catch a boat to Cinnabar Island. Once we finish there then that will leave us the Earth Badge in Viridian City."
Misty huffed "Fine, but if there not here in an hour then I am going knocking." Misty didn't have to go knocking as Sabrina and Ash appeared in the doorway holding hands.
"Hey guys, sorry were down late. Just picked up my Pokemon. I spoke to Haunter this morning, he wants us to meet him at the tower, as his boss Gengar wanted a word with me."
The four trainers left the Pokemon centre. Ash released Knuckles so he could stretch his legs. They were soon at the tower, however instead of the usual sludge bomb attack, the doors creaked then swung open. Ash led the others into the tower. He noticed there were cobwebs everywhere, and the furniture was covered in white sheets. Ash started to walk up the stairs, he could hear the noise from Haunter and Ghastly coming from a nearby room on the landing. Carefully he opened the door to the oddest sight. Haunter was playing with a small candle like Pokemon. Ash could see the funny faces it was pulling at the little Pokemon. Ash pulled out his Pokedex and pointed it at the little Pokemon.
"Error, Pokemon unknown."
Dexter voice had alerted Haunter to Ash arrival. The ghost Pokemon floated up to the young trainer and grinned.
"Welcome. This is Litwick, he is the baby Pokemon that we have been looking after."
Ash knelt down in front of the small candle Pokemon "Hello Litwick. My name is Ash Ketchum and I am a Pokemon trainer. How are you feeling? Looking at you, I can see you have a cold."
Litwick looked at the strange figure in front of him. For starters, he was curious at what a trainer was, after all, he was hatched from an egg inside the tower and knew nothing of the outside world. All he knew was what his uncle Gengar had said that was the world was not a nice place. Cautiously, Litwick moved closer, he failed to see that his uncle had appeared behind the trainer. Litwick watched his uncle place a finger to his lips so that he could scare the trainer.
Ash felt the hairs on his neck stand up, as Gengar ghosted through him and appeared in front of him with a manic grin.
"Welcome young trainer, I am Gengar. You have already meet Haunter and I take it you have just spoken to Litwick. Haunter told me what you did last night, and I just want to say how grateful we are to you. Not many trainers would have done what you did, and as such, you have earned my trust with our secret. You see Litwick here is from another region, and as such he would be a target for a number of trainers visiting the tower. It knows nothing of the outside world. It only knows what we have tried to teach him. However a few days ago, it showed signs of not being well. As I am no doctor we decided to involve you. So Ash will you take Litwick and have him healed?"
Ash looked into the eyes of Gengar. "I have a friend who might want to help. Would you allow me to call her?"
Gengar nodded and watched Ash walk out of the room "Sabrina could you come up here for a minute? I need help with something." Ash heard the stair creak and watched Sabrina appear in front of him. They both walked into the room. As soon as Sabrina saw Litwick she started making cute faces. She walked over and picked it up cradling it in her arms. Gengar was shocked at how Litwick closed its eyes enjoying the gentle rocking it was getting from the strange female trainer. Meanwhile, Gengar noticed Ash was having a conversation with Haunter. The two shook hands before Haunter tapped a poke ball on Ash belt. Gengar watched as Haunter was sucked inside. Gengar knew his friend Haunter had been waiting for a worthy trainer and Gengar could not see anyone more worthy than Ash. Now Gengar only problem was losing Litwick. He had known that he would leave them some day, but he had not known it would be this soon.
Ten minute Later
Ash and Sabrina came downstairs followed behind by Gengar. Sabrina was still cradling Litwick. "Guys, we need to head to the Pokemon centre as Litwick not too well. Gengar has agreed to allow Sabrina to take Litwick as her Pokemon."
Misty and Brock looked shocked but followed behind Ash and Sabrina, just as they were about to leave the tower Ash turned to Gengar
"Thank you Gengar. I promise Litwick will be well looked after, as well as your friend Haunter. Thank you for putting your trust in us."
Gengar nodded then said "I am trusting you and Sabrina to look after Litwick, Now if you excuse me I have to get ready to open the tower again. I wish you all luck on your journey. Maybe some time we will meet again. Good bye Ash and good luck."
Ash waved then took hold of Sabrina hand much to her pleasure. "Okay, first we go to the Pokemon centre and check out Litwick, then its straight to Celedon City for my next gym battle."
The four trainers made their way to the Pokemon centre, wondering what they would next discover on their journey.
A/N: I had a really fun time writing this chapter. Ash embarrassment with Sabrina is based on a true event from my teenage years, so I know how exactly uncomfortable it can be. Anyway Sabrina and Ash are finally starting to explore their bond. Sabrina now as a new Pokemon Litwick and Ash as himself a Gengar. Finally I am still looking for beta. Please carry on reviewing as the more reviews I get the more inspired I become.
Beta Notes or B/N – Dear lord. The amount of correcting to do. X.x I swear, it made me nearly pop a vessel, but whatever. I need to be able to catch those things, as it helps the story flow more smoothly. Hope to see you guys review, and say you like the work he has done.
