Singing Stars

"Well, at least they're a little better now." Leaf said after a while. Nothing worked until they gave Dawn a few plushies and some food to Ash. Those made both of them feel better but they still didn't know what to do with Paul.

"Yeah, but how are we supposed to help Paul? He doesn't like Plushies and he doesn't love food." Drew said. May thought and asked: "What about his pokemon? Everyone always has a special pokemon they like or love."

"I heard he has a Torterra, which is also his first pokemon, so that might work." Gary said. He reached over and grabbed Torterra's pokeball from Paul's belt. He then let out Torterra, who was confused.

"Why am I out? I can't battle in here." he asked. Palm explained to him what was going on and why he was out of his pokeball.

"...and that's everything. You think you can get to him?" she asked.

"I'll see what I can do. Next time, he'll know not to go against you." he said before going over to his trainer, who was still very unresponsive.

"Well, while he does that, who wants to go next? We need a boy this time." Misty said. Since Ash was still recovering, he was out. That left Gary and Drew, who both didn't want to. They shook their heads quickly and waved their hands.

"No way! I'm not doing it!" Drew said.

"Neither am I!" Gary added.

"Come on, you too! Karaoke isn't that bad." May said.

"How about Drew does his first and Gary follows? That way both of you do it and neither of you get left out." Leaf suggested.

"NO!" they both yelled before trying to bolt. Misty grabbed both of them by the collars of their shirts to stop them and they stopped. They both gulped.

"Do it, or we'll pick your songs for you." she said. They nodded as she let them go.

"Gary does Cracklin' Rosie by Neil Diamond and Drew does Sugar, Sugar by The Archies." May said.

"Wait, you said you wouldn't pick our songs for us!" Drew said.

"Well, I lied!" she growled. That shut him up.

"Wait, I don't even know the lyrics to the song!" Gary said as Leaf thrust a microphone into his hands.

"Then here! Sing these!" she said, shoving a piece of paper with the lyrics on it into his hands.

"Okay, okay! Just turn it on!" She did and a guitar and a trumpet started the song.

"Aw, Cracklin' Rosie, get on board. We're gonna ride 'til there ain't no more to go, taking it slow and Lord, don't you know. We'll have me a time with a poor man's lady! Hitchin' on a twilight train, ain't nothing here that I care to take along. Maybe a song, to sing when I want. No need to say please to no man for a happy tune."

"Nice!" Misty whispered to May. She nodded, but also saw Leaf looking at him intensely.

"Oh, I love my Rosie child. You got the way to make me happy, you and me we go in style. Cracklin' Rose, you're a store-bought woman, but you make me sing like a guitar hummin'. So hang on to me, girl, our song keeps runnin' on! Play it now, play it now, play it now, my baby. Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile. Girl, if it lasts for an hour, that's all right, 'cause we got all night to set the world right. Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah!

Everyone clapped and he flushed in embarrassment.

"Good singing, Gary!" Torterra called from the other room.

"Thanks, Torterra. Well, Drew, you're up!" he said before shoving the microphone into the green-haired boy's hands.

"Wait, what about my lyrics? I don't even know what the song is!"

"Seriously?! You boys need to get caught up in the different types of music." Leaf grumbled before handing him the lyrics to the song.

"Now, SING!" Misty told him, bringing out her dreaded mallet. He nodded quickly right as May started the song. A guitar and clapping started playing, signaling the start of the song.

"Sugar, ah honey honey! You are my candy girl and you've got me wanting you. Honey, ah sugar sugar! You are my candy girl and you've got me wanting you. I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you. (I just can't believe it's true) I just can't believe the wonder of this feeling, too. (I just can't believe it's true) Ah sugar, ah honey honey! You are my candy girl and you've got me wanting you. Oh honey, ah sugar sugar! You are my candy girl and you've got me wanting you." May was looking at him and sighed happily. His voice sounded so nice to her.

"When I kissed you, girl, I knew how sweet a kiss could be. (I know how sweet a kiss can be) Like the summer sunshine, pour your sweetness over me. (Pour your sweetness over me) Oh, Sugar, pour a little sugar on it honey, pour a little sugar on it, baby. I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah! Pour a little sugar on it, oh yeah! Pour a little sugar on it honey, pour a little sugar on it, baby. I'm gonna make your life so sweet, yeah yeah yeah! Pour a little sugar on it honey!

"Ah sugar, ah honey honey! You are my candy girl, and you've got me wanting you! (Oh honey, honey, sugar sugar...) You are my candy girl..."

"Great job, Drew!" Palm said. She nudged and licked him.

"Okay okay, Palm, I get it! Hahaha, stop!" he laughed because she was tickling him.

"NO! You deserve this, since that song made me so hungry for sweets!"

"I didn't want to sing it! Hahaha! May made me!"

"But still! You goodie two-shoes!"

"This might take a while. Palm is acting like Drew is someone she hasn't seen in a long time." Leaf said, watching.

Poor Drew. I just hope he doesn't get crushed. Anyway, listen to those songs! I love them! Don't worry, though. Ash and Dawn will be able to do theirs and Paul will to. It'll just take a while, though.
