Chapter One: Meet Jawsome and Ash (with Pikachu)

There was a Horsea stuck in a cage. and Horsea was terrified that it was gonna be the bate. unknown to it, a certain somebody was swimming around. just as Horsea gulped nervously in fear. and all of a sudden, Horsea screamed in fear. just as it saw a certain somebody coming towards it. while it struggled to break out. but it had a feeling that was very disturbing. and a certain somebody was behind it. then it turned itself around. and it saw a Sharpedo approaching.

"Hi. I'm Jawsome." Jawsome greeted at Horsea. but it only just fainted in fear. and he gasped in alarm. "little buddy. did I scare you? I'm sorry. wake up. okay. don't worry about it. I'll get you out in a jiffy. hang in there, Horsea."

"yo! Jawsome!" a certain somebody's voice called out to him."

"I'm coming, Sharkami!" Jawsome called out back to him. just as he began releasing Horsea.

"move it! come on! Father's waiting!" Sharkami snapped at him. then Jawsome opened the lid of the cage. setting Horsea free at last. "okay, buddy. you're free. now go! cry freedom!" Jawsome smiled a bit. when he did a real super good deed. and just as he began leaving, he jumped nervously when he saw another Sharpedo. he was Sharkami. Jawsome's older brother.

"you almost gave me a heart attack!" Jawsome said to him.

"Jawsome? what are you doing?" Sharkami asked him.

"I was just…." Jawsome picked up some flowers. "picking you some flowers." Sharkami smacked him. "hey! Mother said it's not okay to hit!"

Sharkami smacked him again. "Mother's not here." Sharkami and Jawsome swam around back home to the pirate ship house.

Meanwhile, there was a city town. which of course nearly looked just like a ghost town. but on the real super big screen of the building, Lyra Willingham answered some questions about the Sharpedos.

"are they gone? are they gone? you sure?" Lyra asked them. and she smiled a bit. "good morning, Pallet Town. I'm Lyra Willingham. we've just received official confirmation that the Sharpedos are gone. I repeat: the Sharpedos are gone." that's when everybody and their Pokemon came outta nowhere. and they all began doing their own work. they were all hiding. 'cause the Sharpedos like Jawsome and Sharkami could attack and kill anybody off.

Don't worry

about a thing

'cause every little thing

is gonna be alright

"up next. a mother tells us how she does it all. but first, over to Ethan for the traffic report." Lyra said to them.

"thanks, Lyra." Ethan said to her. "slight congestion here on the interpol, there's an overturned Snubbull. authorities are trying to keep it calm." he saw Wartortle and Charmeleon trying to keep poor Snubbull calm. causing a traffic jam. "get out those cell phones. and call in to the boss. 'cause you're gonna be late."

In the bank, Lieutenant Surge sat in the counter. just as Gary showed him the blue pearl.

"yep. it's fake." said Lieutenant Surge, staring right at the false blue pearl.

"false?! but it took me a real super long time to find that!" Gary snapped at him.

don't worry

about a thing

'cause every little thing

is gonna be alright

Inside the restaurant, Charizard stood by the counter. waiting for other people and Pokemon to show up. but nobody took one single step inside. "that does it! I give up!" Charizard exclaimed out loud.

"according to the latest danger poll, fear of Sharpedos is at an all-time." Lyra announced to them. "join us tonight for an in-depth report. how long must this neighborhood city town live under siege? is there no hero among us? who can stop this Sharpedo menace?"

Later on, there was a real super thrilling place. there was a boy with dark black hair, a white and red cap, blue jeans, a black t-shirt and a blue jacket-vest with yellow buttons on it. he turned himself around. and he began introducing himself with Pikachu by his side. "Hi. I'm Ash. you might think you know. but you have no idea." Pikachu agreed with him. "you sure got that absolutely right."

"welcome to my crib. the good life. the way the other half lives. check it out. I've got my fifty hi-def, flat screens TV with speaker surround sound, CD, DVD, Nintendo Switch hook-up and a track player for days when you're feeling a just a little…" Ash and Pikachu began beat boxing for a bit. "….old school. 'cause every superstar Mack daddy Pokemon master and breeder like me needs to have the basic necessities."

"yeah. like money." Max laughed along with Bonnie and Molly. the entire place was really only just a billboard. and Ash didn't even have any cash.

"come on, kids. why you messing with my fantasy?" Ash asked them.

"'cause you're so broke, your baloney has no first game." Bonnie replied to him. just as Max and Molly laughed a bit.

"that's very funny." Ash said to them while rolling his eyes.

"hey, Ash! over here! I need to talk to you!" Sidewalker, the Kingler, exclaimed to him by the dumpster.

"be right there." Ash said to them. "hang onto these." he handed the disco tags to Max.

"Ash, you're the dude." Max smiled a bit at him. while Ash walked towards Sidewalker.

"hey. Sidewalker." Ash said to him.

"now that you live in a penthouse, can I be your financial advisor?" Sidewalker asked him.

"that's a billboard, Sidewalker." Ash corrected him.

"you live in a billboard? and they call me crazy." Sidewalker laughed a bit like crazy. just as he held an umbrella. and he began going up in mid-air. making the young Pokemon master and breeder freaked out.

"I don't even get why he does that all the time." Pikachu commented a bit.

"hey, Ash. look who came to visit." Molly said to him. who just finished spray painting the walls. Ash screamed in fear when he saw a picture painting of a Sharpedo that was about to eat him alive.

"got ya!" the three kids exclaimed to him in unison.

"no! don't do that!" Ash removed some of the paint. "shouldn't you be in school?"

"shouldn't you be at work?" Bonnie asked him.

"right back at me, huh?" Ash asked her. "little smart mouth. look. I'm on my way. stay outta trouble. okay? and clean that stuff up."

"see ya!" the three kids begin cleaning off the paint. Ash smiled a bit. just as he was on his way to work.

"see ya, Ash!" Sidewalker called out to him. still holding the umbrella. Ash continued his way to work at a place called Wailmer Wash. owned by Meowth. it was a wash for Wailmers. Ash continued on his way. saying hello to his fellow workers.

"hey. what's up, you guys? the A-man's in the house." Ash high-fived some of the workers. while they began their real super hard work. "hey, Brock. is it lunch yet?"

"you just got here." Brock replied.

"that's my point." Ash said to him. meanwhile, Ritchie, who was listening to music by the headphones, was putting an air freshener on Cascade.

"hey, Ritchie!" Ash exclaimed to him. but he shook his head knowing that Ritchie didn't even hear him. he walked past Misty, May and Serena. who began waxing Aquarius.

"looking good, girls." Ash said to them.

"hey, Ash." Misty, May and Serena greeted him. Ash stopped by the punch-in. so that he can clock in and begin his shift. but he couldn't even find his name on the card. 'til he found his card on the punch-in section.

"huh. I'm already punched in?" Ash asked himself. but he smiled about who did it. "Dawn."

at the counter, a Pokemon mistress and breeder named Dawn Price, was on the wireless telephone. but she spoke with another customer. "good morning. can I help you?"

"one wash and lube, please." Tug replied to her.

"hot wax?" Dawn asked him.

"please." Tug replied to her again.

"metal scrap? we're having a special." dawn said to him.

"why not? it's mating season. and I'm feeling lucky." Tug smiled a bit. and he began getting all clean.

Dawn began answering the wireless telephone she answered before. "Meowth's Wailmer Wash. you get a Wailmer of a wash and the price…oh my gosh." Dawn listened to herself. just as she scribbled in the notebook: Dawn + Ash. she had a crush on Ash. and she was his best friend for life and one true love. "may I suggest a rusteez? it removes rusted metal."

"hey, Dawn." Ash greeted her. just as Dawn panicked a bit. covering the paper she scribbled on. she didn't even want Ash to see it. otherwise she would be embarrassed.

"oh my gosh. hi, Ash." Dawn said to him.

"thanks for covering me up." Ash held the wireless telephone Dawn was using. "hey. I'm sorry. Dawn needs to get her freak on. would you hold for one moment, please?" Ash pressed the hold button.

"Ash." Dawn said to him.

"come on, Dawn. dance with me, my girl." Ash said to her. while trying to dance it off with Dawn.

"Ash. you're gonna get me fired." Dawn sat by the counter.

"please. you fired?" Ash asked her. "that can't happen. 'cause then I would have no reason to come to work."

"oh. you don't mean that." Dawn said to him.

"course I do. you're like, my best friend for life and one true love." Ash said to her. Dawn gasped and groaned a bit. while the Pokemon master and breeder put on his gear.

"listen. tell me. what do you think about this?" Ash explained to her. "this is like, the best idea ever. okay? it's a sure thing. guaranteed cash extravaganza." Dawn stared right at him. "fresh air."

"oh no." Dawn groaned a bit.

"all I need is an advance on my paycheck from the boss. and, Dawn. I am outta this place. I mean, I am…pschoo!"

"Ash? instead of getting in Meowth's face with another get-rich-quick-scheme, go do something you're actually good at: your house jobs." Dawn placed the belt around his waist. "which by some miracle you still have."

just as Ash began doing his real super-hard work, he stopped and got something for her. "oh. I almost forgot." the Pokemon master and breeder held out a food bag from McRonald's. "I brought you some breakfast."

"you didn't. breakfast egg and sausage bagel sandwich?" Dawn asked him.

"your favorite." Ash replied to her. "by the way. you're still on hold."

Dawn gasped a bit. and she quickly picked up the wireless telephone. "thank you for holding. busy, busy, busy. how can I help you?" Dawn watched. just as Ash began doing his shift while listening to a certain somebody on the wireless telephone. "no. I'm sorry. Meowth's at a meeting right now. he won't be back 'til later."

whenever Meowth was at a meeting, he was at a meeting with the boss of the neighborhood city town's ocean.

Chapter Two: The Sharpedo boss

in the pirate ship house, there was a Sharpedo standing in front of the Carvanha tank. he was Master Ripjaws. "how are my little Carvahnas this morning? you miss me? you doing good?" Master Ripjaws gave the food to a few Carvanhas. "you see, Meowth? it's a cruel globe. you either take or you get taken."

Meowth was a bit nervous when he watched the Carvahnas eating the food like rabid critters. "true words have never been spoken." Meowth said to him. "is that it? we're done?"

"now you and me. we've worked together a long, long, long time." Master Ripjaws explained to him.

"please, Master Ripjaws. it's hardly been like work." Meowth said to him.

"you know-" Master Ripjaws continued.

"I like that about you." Meowth interrupted him.

"let me finish. that I've lived my life for my sons." Master Ripjaws said to him. "raising them and protecting them-"

"you're the best. he's the best. right? am I right? or am I wrong?" Meowth asked Inkshot the Octillery instead of Master Ripjaws.

"Meowth. it's all been to prepare-"

"right?"

"to prepare them-"

"sorry."

"it's okay. for the day they run the neighborhood city town and reef. well. today is that day." Master Ripjaws sighed heavily when the record of the record player began scratching while he sat in front of the desk. and Meowth sat in the armchair. "Inkshot."

Inkshot began fixing the record. 'til it began playing the Wiggles' Fruit Salad, Yummy-Yummy on it. Master Ripjaws and Meowth stared right at him. just as Inkshot stopped the record. "hey, boss. fruit salad yummy, yummy." he chuckled a bit.

Master Ripjaws sighed heavily in annoyance. and he continued the conversation with Meowth. "long story short. from now on, you work for Sharkami and Jawsome. got it?"

Meowth laughed a bit. "Jawsome? Sharkami I understand. but Jawsome? you can't be serious."

"I'm dead serious." Master Ripjaws said to him. "it takes more than muscles to run things. now Jawsome, he's got the brains. that's something special."

"oh. he's special, okay." Meowth said to him.

"what does that mean?" Master Ripjaws asked him.

"nothing. I'm just sayin'-" Meowth began explaining to him.

"I bring you here. look you in the eye. and tell you what's what. and what?" Master Ripjaws asked him.

"what?" Meowth asked him.

"what 'what'?"

"you said what first."

"I didn't say what. I asked you what."

"you said and then, what? I said what."

"no. I said what, what. like what, what."

Meowth looked a bit confused. "you said what first."

"oh. now you're making fun of me?" Master Ripjaws stared right at him. just as he got up.

"no. you misunderstood." Meowth replied to him. but the conversation when Sharkami and Jawsome entered the office.

"sorry we're late, Father." Sharkami said to him. "Jawsome had an accident. he was born."

Jawsome laughed a bit sarcastically. while sitting on the turning stool chair. "you're a comic genius."

Meowth whispered to Master Ripjaws. "look. all I'm saying is that kid ain't exactly no killer."

"my Jawsome is a killer. you hear me? a cold-blooded killer. look at him." Master Ripjaws looked right at Jawsome crazily. just as Jawsome played around on the stool chair. acting like a younger kid. Meowth smirked a bit. by telling him that Jawsome wasn't even a killer Sharpedo. Master Ripjaws stared angrily at Meowth. he had quite enough. "that's it! that's it! you are out!"

"what?!" Meowth asked him. shocked. "what do you mean I'm out?"

"you're fired!" Master Ripjaws swung his right fin at Meowth. Meowth screamed in fear. just as he crashed into the wall. "and on top of that, you're gonna have to start paying me!"

"for what?" Meowth asked him in fear.

"so nothing happens to your little Wailmer Wash." Master Ripjaws replied to him. while smirking.

back at the wash, Ash, along with the others, began tongue scrubbing the mouth of Tug. Ash frowned at the job. "welcome to Ash's crib. forty foot slime covered tongue. with canker sores. cavities. and encrusted teeth for when I feel a bit old school."

"stop your moaning, Ash." Gary said to him. "it could be a lot worse, you know."

"that's true. I could have this job and look like you." Ash laughed a bit. suddenly, he saw the bucket full of slime began shaking. knowing what was about to happen. "indigestion. he's gonna blow!" Gary and the others took cover.

"wait! Ritchie's still in there!" Erika explained to them. Ash saw Ritchie. still scrubbing and listening to music on his headphones.

"I've got you, Ritchieeeeeeee!" Ash ran over. and he grabbed Ritchie. the rumbling grew louder. 'til Tug let out one little belch. suddenly, blue slime flew by. and it hit Ash's face. Gary and the others laughed a bit. while the Pokemon master and breeder wiped the slime off him. "yeah. still think it could be worse?"

"yeah. I could look like you." Gary replied to him. still laughing a bit.

"you're all funny." Ash said to them while holding the slime. "well? see if you can laugh at this!" Ash threw the slime at Gary. but he dodged. without warning, the slime hit Brock. causing him to push the button. and the soap bubbles hit on Tug's left eye. Tug roared in pain. just as Brock began pulling down the lever. but it didn't even work. if they couldn't even think about a way to get the soap off, Tug would go completely crazy.

"soap in the eye! soap in the eye!" Ash pulled the lever. activating the chains. the chains held Tug down. so that he wouldn't even struggle. Ash ran around towards him. and he removed the soap real super carefully. "it's okay. I'll get you some coupons. a free hot wax and all that. you like that?"

"thanks, Ash." Tug said to him.

"okay." Ash said to him. but all of a sudden, Siren and Inkling, the Tentacool brothers, zapped him on the back of his head.

"well. look who it is, Inkling." Siren said to him.

"just the Pokemon master and breeder we're looking for." Inkling smirked at him. "the boss wants to see you now."

"Siren. Inkling. my Tentacool friends. hey. what's up, you guys? it's good to see you all…huh? what did you say, Dawn?" Ash asked Dawn who was speaking with Red Birnbaum and Aquarius. "you guys? I'm gonna go ahead over there. but-"

Ash: Don't worry

about a thing

Ash (continued): 'cause every little thing

is gonna be alright

Inkling hit the Pokemon master and breeder on the back of his head again. "that's not the way you sing that song." in Meowth's office, the Tentacool brothers threw Ash inside. Ash tumbled towards the desk. and he crashed into it.

"hey, Meowth. my brother from another mother. what's the deezy, baby?" Ash asked him. just as Meowth stared at him. not super thrilled from the meeting with Master Ripjaws. Ash grabbed Meowth's right front paw. trying to do the secret handshake. but Meowth just stared at him. and he rolled his eyes.

"Ash!" Meowth exclaimed to him. while putting his right front paw away.

"hey. don't sweat it." Ash said to him. a lot of humans and Pokemon can't do it."

"would you just sit down? okay? Meowth asked him. just as Ash took his seat. "I've been goin' over my markers. you're into me for five grand. five G's. okay?"

"five G's? man. you're tripping." Ash said to him.

"oh yeah? see if this refreshes your memory." Meowth threw a pile of bill papers at Ash and Pikachu.

"whoa. that's crazy. look at that." Ash said to himself. reading the bill papers. knowing that he owes Meowth five hundred dollars.

"you wrote everything down. so you wouldn't forget." Meowth said to him.

"this is a perfect example of why you're in management. and I'm not." Ash smiled at him. "you go, dude."

"I have to pay Master Ripjaws protection. so everything you owe me, you owe him." Meowth explained to him.

"how did you figure that out?" Ash asked him.

"simple. the food chain." Meowth got out the food chain chart. "see? on top, there's Master Ripjaws. there's me. and there's regular humans and Pokemon."

"that's me." Ash said to him.

"no. there's trees. there's dirt."

"then there's me?"

"I'm getting there." Meowth continued. "there's water. there's rocks. there's Wailmer drool. and then there's you." he pointed right at a photo of Ash, holding a brush, telling him that he was at the bottom of the food chain.

Ash stared right at it. "that's messed up."

"so if Master Ripjaws is squeezin' me, he's squeezin' you." Meowth said to him.

"what?!" Ash exclaimed out loud. just as the chart rolled up. and it began hitting Meowth in his face. "sorry."

"easy, boss. find your happy place." Siren said to him while reading a magazine.

"happy place." Inkling added.

"there's no happy place with him here!" Meowth exclaimed to them in fear and annoyance. "I'm serious!"

"okay, please! just give me some time!" Ash begged him. "that's all I'm asking. I'm begging you, Meowth! please! please!"

Meowth stared right at the Pokemon master and breeder. he knew that Ash worked real super hard. "okay. 'cause I like you. I'm gonna give you twenty-four hours to pay up."

"all of it? how am I supposed to do that?" Ash asked him.

"that's your problem." Meowth replied to him. "bring my money to the race track tomorrow. or else."

"or else what?" Ash asked him a bit confused.

"the boys will explain." Meowth left the office. Siren and Inkling both laughed a bit. and Siren gave the Pokemon master and breeder one single zap on his left eye. telling Ash that he would be in real super big trouble.

"unpleasant." Ash whimpered nervously.

Chapter Three: Jawsome's troubles

"five hundred dollars?!" Dawn exclaimed to him. while putting an ice pack on Ash's black eye. a little while back, Ash came over to her house. and he explained what just happened after the conversation with Meowth. Ash sat on the bench of the backyard. just as Dawn continued, "you borrowed five hundred dollars from Meowth?! Ash? why do you always get yourself into these situations."

"I don't know, Dawn." Ash sighed heavily. "it's just hard. okay? 'cause I'm a Pokemon master and breeder in a big neighborhood city town. a really big neighborhood city town. the city town. I'm a nobody. I want some of that." Ash looked right up, telling her his dream vision.

"Nastina?" Dawn asked him. looking a bit confused. Ash saw Nastina doing her makeup. "what? no. that." Ash stared right at the real super big building of the city town. "the top of the city town. where the somebodies live. I wanna be real super popular like them. but I'm stuck down here."

"well? what's wrong with down here?" Dawn asked him.

"I'll tell you what's wrong with down here." Ash explained to her. "remember my dad? he worked at the wash his whole life."

during the year 1992, Silver Ketchum worked real super hard as a tongue scrubber at the Wailmer Wash. he had worked there for years. "he was the number one tongue scrubber. every year. for forty years." Ash explained to Dawn. all of the photos of Silver are hung on the wall. Seven Year Old Ash smiled a bit. just as he showed the other students in class during show and tell. "to me, working at the wash was the coolest job in the city town. but then I learned something I will never forget."

Dario laughed a bit. "Ash's dad's a tongue scrubber!" all of the other kids teased him. Seven Year Old Ash stared right down. humiliated by the other kids.

end of flashback sequence.

"my dad was the greatest." Ash said to her. "but nobody loves a nobody. I wanna be a somebody."

"Ash. you don't have to live at the top of the city town to be a somebody." Dawn placed her right hand on the Pokemon master and breeder's right shoulder. Ash sighed heavily. and he sat back on the bench.

"what's the difference? if I don't pay Meowth back by tomorrow, I'm dead anyway. so-"

Dawn was feeling terribly sorry for the Pokemon master and breeder. if Ash didn't even pay the cash back, he'll be in real super big trouble. so she decided to help him out. "wait right here." she walked back inside her house. Ash only just sat there, staring right at the building. he looked down that his dream vision of becoming a somebody was nearly ruined. then he saw Dawn holding a little blue box.

"what's this?" Ash asked her. just as Dawn opened the lid. "a pink pearl?"

"yes." Dawn replied to him.

"where'd you get that?" Ash asked her.

"my Grandma Nancy gave it to me." Dawn replied to him. "she said it started from a tiny grain of sand. but then, after a while, it grew into something beautiful. dream visions can begin small too."

"no. I couldn't." Ash didn't even wanna sell to something she had for so long.

"take it." Dawn said to him. while handing the pearl over to him. "it'll get you the money you need for Meowth."

Ash sighed heavily in relief. and he smiled at her. knowing that she was always there to help him out.

back in the sunken pirate ship house, all of the Sharpedos were in the dining room to eat something for their dinner meal. some of them were speaking. and some of them were goofing off. but Master Ripjaws was having a conversation with Jawsome. just as Sharkami continued eating. Jawsome looked a bit concerned. 'cause he wasn't even learning how to be a killer Sharpedo. he did help Horsea to be set free a while back.

"what do you mean you don't understand?" Master Ripjaws asked him. "we've been over this a hundred times. I don't wanna say it again. you're really giving me anxiety. I don't know how else to say this to you, Jawsome. you see something. you kill it. you eat it. period. that's what Sharpedos do. that's a fine tradition. what's the matter with you?" Jawsome looked right at him. still holding the dining menu. just as Master Ripjaws continued, "Your brother, Sharkami here, he's a killer."

"thanks, Father." Sharkami said to him. while eating his dinner meal like a savage water Pokemon.

"he's beautiful. he does what he's supposed to do." Master Ripjaws said to him. "but, you. I'm hearing things." he sighed heavily. "you've gotta understand. when you look weak, it makes me look weak. I can't have that."

"I know. Father. I'm sorry." Jawsome said to him looking a bit upset.

"Jawsome. look at me. look at me." Master Ripjaws said to him. just as Jawsome looked right at him. "this handling business. it's for you. it's for both of you. and you're acting like you don't even want it. I need to know that you can handle it." he sighed heavily. but he stared right at the cage, where the Clawitzers were. he had an idea. just as he got Shellster out. "okay. right here. in front of me now. eat this." Shellster shook in fear, knowing that his entire life was about to end real soon.

"yeah. thanks, Father." Jawsome said to him. "here's the thing: I'm on a diet. and I read an article about these Clawitzers. they're not good for you. you know how many calories are in one of those Clawitzers? a lot."

"it's true." Shellster explained to them. "it's true. and the other thing is, my brother got married and later had 3 Claunchers. and he and I took it over 'cause my sister-in-law passed away and then the Claunchers lost some of their legs. but I still take care of them with my mate. and they're growing. and they're happy. but it's difficult 'cause I've been working a second shift at the factory to put food on the table. but all the love I see in the little dudes' faces. makes it worth it in the end." Master Ripjaws stared right at him. "true story." Jawsome cleaned away a tear drop from this right eye. while Sharkami rolled his eyes.

Master Ripjaws sighed heavily. "I'm not asking you anymore. I'm telling you. eat it."

"noooooooo! have mercy!" Shellster begged to Jawsome.

"Father! please!" Jawsome exclaimed to him. the other Clawitzers exclaimed out loud. begging for Jawsome not to eat Shellster. Jawsome and Master Ripjaws began shouting and arguing. just as Sharkami kept staring at Shellster. about to take one single bite.

Jawsome had quite enough of it. "put the Clawitzer down!" he grabbed Shellster and the other Clawitzers, making Master Ripjaws shocked. the other Sharpedos stared right at Jawsome. just as he set the Clawitzers free at last. "go now. no one's looking. get outta here. you're free. now go."

"thank you." Shellster said to him. "you're a good person." he stared angrily at Master Ripjaws. and he punched his right shrimp-like hand by telling him that he'd be back sooner or later. "come on, guys." Jawsome smiled a bit while watching the Clawitzers make their leave. but he stared right at Master Ripjaws. who was staring at him. while Sharkami looked a bit worried and confused. Jawsome sighed heavily. just as he sat right down. looking terribly upset about it. Master Ripjaws sat right back down, staring right at his son. refusing to eat any single meat product.

"Father. I can handle the neighborhood city town. it's not a problem." Sharkami said to him while hoping everything would be all set up.

"no. we're gonna do this as a family." Master Ripjaws said to him. "Sharkami. I want you to take Jawsome out and show him the ropes."

"aw. come on, Father." Sharkami said to him.

"son. you're gonna learn how to be a Sharpedo. whether you like it or not." Master Ripjaws said to him. just as Jawsome stared right at him. shocked. now knowing that he would be in real super big trouble if he didn't even learn how to be a true Sharpedo.

Chapter Four: Betting on Blaze-Runner

At the Rapidash race track, everybody came by to watch or bet on Blaze-Runner. everybody was cheering and betting. but Meowth paced around in his private box. hoping that Ash would show up with the cash. "that dude better show up or he's ground beef."

"just say the word, boss." Inkling said to him. while getting prepared to punish Ash along with Siren.

meanwhile at the lobby, Ash came by. holding a package full of cash to give to Meowth. thanks to Dawn, he sold her pearl. and he got all of the cash he had in his entire life. when he was finished, his problems would be over real soon.

"carrying the big envelope full of money. gonna give it to Meowth." Ash said to himself.

"hurry up! this is our chance! we don't wanna miss it!" Red accidentally knocked the envelope by accident. Ash managed to catch it.

"you sure?" Goh asked him.

"my trainer friend ripped me off." Red replied to him. "the race is rigged." Ash began listening to them. "we can't lose!"

"what's the Rapidash's name?" Goh asked him.

"Blaze-Runner." Red replied to him. Ash gasped in shock and surprise. and he looked right up at the board. Blaze-Runner was gonna be the winner in the next race.

"we're gonna be rich! riiiiich!" Red cheered out loud.

Ash grinned a bit like crazy. "top of the neighborhood city town! here I come!" but he snapped out of it. "no. wait. what am I doing? remember what Dawn said. remember what Dawn said. what did Dawn say?"

Ash began remembering what Dawn said to him before from yesterday evening. "dreams can begin small. you just have to….bet it all! bet it all!" he imagined that if Blaze-Runner won the race, he would win lots of cash. and he would also live at the top of the neighborhood city town. he forgot everything Dawn said to him. so he had a new plan. he slammed the envelope on the counter. "five hundred on Blaze-Runner!"

"hey. that's two hundred to one." Bruno said to him. while taking the envelope. and giving him the ticket. "that'll pay a million dollars!"

Ash took the ticket. "well. I guess that makes me Ash. the millionaire." at the front door, a female figure turned herself around, looking right at Tommy. the figure was none other than Jessie of Team Rocket. Jessie raised her left eyebrow, still staring right at Ash. and just as Ash began leaving, he stopped. and he stared right at her. just as she did her dance off moves.

She's dangerous

super bad

better watch out

she'll take the cash.

she's a gold digger

she's a gold digger

she's dangerous

super bad

better watch out

she'll take the cash

she's a gold digger…

"nice bet." Jessie said to him. just as Ash snapped out of it. and he chuckled a bit. "you got a name?" Ash chuckled a bit again. "you're gonna tell me what it is?" Ash chuckled, goofily. "well? mine's Jessie."

Ash snapped out of it. "come on, man. get your game face on." he smacked himself. and he followed Jessie around. "so, Jessie. my name's…" he bumped right into the pillar. "my name's Ash, sweetie." he saw Nastina staring at him. just as she was reading the newspaper. "ahhh! Nastina!"

"the hippity-hop smooth talk doesn't work with me." Nastina said to him. just as she continued reading the newspaper.

"Sorry 'bout that." Ash apologized. and he followed Jessie around. "hey. so…"

"Ash. I was startin' to think you skipped out on me." Meowth came along with Siren and Inkling.

"Meowth. I see you're already on your way to the concession stand." Ash said to him. just as he escorted Meowth.

"Hey. what are you doin'?" Meowth asked him a bit confused.

"mind bringing us back some drinks?" Ash asked them while Meowth stared at him. "that would be great. thanks. and some of those little corn dog thingies."

"you mean the ones with the sticks?" Siren asked him.

"what are you doin'?!" Meowth bonked Siren. "don't listen to him!"

Ash escorted Jessie. "let me escort you to…my box."

"your box?" Tracey asked him while stepping in front of Ash and Jessie.

"His box?!" Meowth exclaimed to him. "you can't even afford the gum under the seats!"

"he just laid five grand on Blaze-Runner." Jessie explained to him. just as Ash kept telling Meowth that she was real super crazy. "I think he can afford anything he wants." she stared right at Ash. who smiled nervously.

"five grand?! my five grand?!" Meowth exclaimed to him.

"no. it was another five grand." Ash replied to him while panicking.

"you had the money to pay me back?! and you bet it anyway?!" Meowth grabbed the ticket from Ash's right hand. "give me that!"

"clearly, I made a mistake." Jessie walked off.

"no. no. wait! Jessie!" Ash exclaimed to her while catching up to her.

"look. deep down. I'm really superficial." Jessie said to him while caressing his face. "and don't get me wrong. you're cute. but you're a nobody." Jessie left, leaving Ash stunned. Ash saw the faces on the corn dogs.

"Ash. you're cute. but you're a nobody." Siren mocked him.

"wait! Jessie! come back! I'm not a nobody! I'm a corn dog!" Inkling laughed along with Siren.

Meowth grabbed Ash's right arm. "you are unbelievable. you're in trouble up to your nose. and still. you're askin' for more?" he shoved him over to his box. "now go on! get in there!" Meowth, Ash, Siren and Inkling took their seats. "Ash. you better pray that this Rapidash of yours comes through. bettin' my five hundred." he saw Ash sitting in his seat. "hey! outta my seat! outta my seat!" Inkling grabbed Ash, forcing the Pokemon master and breeder to sit between him and Siren. "unbelievable."

"sit tight and watch the race." Inkling said to him.

"with your good eye." Siren joked a bit. just as they watched that the Rapidashes began racing around the racing track.

"the Rapidashes are at the post. and they're off!" the announcer announced while Rapidashes began racing around. all of them but Blaze-Runner. who was trying to break the gate open. "Mercury. then Sizzle and Heatwave. Blaze-Runner seems to be having trouble getting outta the gate."

"what?" Ash asked himself.

"only a joker would bet on this Rapidash." the announcer continued.

Meowth stared right at Ash. "don't sweat it. he does this all the time. he's playing." Ash said to him when he saw that Blaze-Runner broke through the gate. and he ran around while catching up.

"what's this? Blaze-Runner is now crashing his way through the gate. and he's off and running. Mercury, Heatwave…"

"please, Blaze-Runner. go fast." Ash whispered to himself while hoping that Blaze-Runner would win the entire race.

"coming around the turn, it's Sizzle by a length and Blaze-Runner well behind." the announcer continued. "and here comes Blaze-Runner, coming up from behind passing Mercury, Heatwave!"

Ash gasped, excited, "you see? who's your dude? go!"

"around the final turn, here comes Blaze-Runner." the announcer announced, "Blaze-Runner is now caught up to Sizzle. they're head-to-head. neck to neck. Blaze-Runner is ahead!"

"I'm tired just thinking about counting all of this money." Ash said to himself. just as Meowth cheered loudly that they would be super rich and popular. "look at Blaze-Runner go!" they began celebrating while Siren and Inkling smiled a bit.

"absolutely amazing! this looks to be Blaze-Runner's big day!" the announcer exclaimed to himself. just as Blaze-Runner was almost to the finish line, he began losing proper control. and he hit himself, causing himself to lose proper control. "what happened? Blaze-Runner is down!"

Ash and Meowth danced around a bit. Ash noticed that Blaze-Runner was about to win the entire race. but what he really saw was that Blaze-Runner fell right on the ground. "nooooooooo!"

"here's Mercury, Heatwave and Sizzle…and Mercury wins!" the announcer announced out loud.

"what's goin' on?" Meowth asked himself still hanging right on to Ash.

"wait. I just wanna hold you." Ash said to him. while hoping that Meowth wouldn't even see what was going on around here.

Meowth shoved him away. "no. get outta my way. let me see. will you?" Meowth saw that Mercury was the winner. Meowth's eyes widened in shock that Blaze-Runner had lost. and that meant Meowth lost five grand.

"remember your 'happy place', Meowth." Ash said to him as Meowth got angry and upset while tearing up the ticket. "that's the way they call him the long shot." "hey, that was crazy, right?" "who knew?" "everything's set." "it's a lock." "we're good to go." "we're in the money." "and he trips on four legs." Siren and Inkling smirked at one another, knowing that they got a job to do. just as Ash continued. "who in the dang heck trips on four legs? and by the way. on what?"

"that's it! that's it! I've had it!" Meowth snapped to himself. "Siren! Inkling! I want you to find the deepest hole in the ground! and when you do! dig deeper! and put him in it!" Meowth's fury swipes popped a red balloon nearby. which of course made an unknown girl scream out loud. suddenly, Inkling duct-taped Ash's mouth. while Siren tied the rope on Ash's entire body and legs. later, they threw him into the trunk.

"sorry, dude. it's nothin' personal. it's just business." Meowth said to him. just as Siren closed the trunk. now Ash was really gonna get it.

Chapter Five: Ash, the Sharpedo slayer

in the wilderness forest, Ash was all tied up due to what happened back at the race. he continued muffling and struggling while Siren and Inkling began having fun and excitement with him, by hurting him.

Siren and Inkling: Don't worry

about a thing

'cause every little thing

is gonna be alright

"this is how you sing it, Ash." Siren said to him.

"Meowth. he likes you." Inkling said to him. "he said to take it easy on you."

Siren smirked a bit. and he pinched Ash's face. just as Ash screamed a bit. "but Meowth isn't here." he laughed a bit. "Inkling. let me ask you something."

"Yeah, Siren?" Inkling asked him.

"why's it that our tentacles can hurt other people and Pokemon. but they got no effect on me or you?" Siren asked him. just as he began zapping Ash. but Ash ducked down. causing Siren to zap Inkling. Inkling yelled out loud. and he fell right down, screaming out loud in pain.

"Inkling!" Siren exclaimed out loud. "I didn't mean it, Inkling! I didn't mean it, dude! Inkling!" Inkling began laughing a bit. "Inkling. you made a joke. good one, dude." he and Inkling high fived one another. Ash kept staring right at them. depressingly that he was in real super big trouble.

Meanwhile, Jawsome and Sharkami kept floating away from the pirate ship house. Sharkami took Jawsome someplace for him to eat a young human or Pokemon in order to become a true Sharpedo. but Jawsome was a bit nervous. "Sharkami. you know I can't do this."

"Jawsome. if you wanna make Father happy, you gotta kill somebody." Sharkami said to him.

"or, I can find a very old sick human or Pokemon and just wait." Jawsome said to him.

"it's getting around. your thing at the restaurant." Sharkami explained to him. "you know how people and Pokemon talk. this, that, the other. how you doing? boom! forget about it. you're dead."

"okay. seriously. I can't understand wise guy. so you have to be more specific." Jawsome said to him.

"specific? you want specific?" Sharkami hit the back of Jawsome's head. "be a Sharpedo for once in your life."

Jawsome whimpered nervously. "what am I gonna do?"

Sharkami sighed heavily. "Jawsome. forget about it, okay? we do a couple of practice runs. badda-bing. badda-boom. Father's happy. you're a Sharpedo. life goes on. you got it?"

"okay. I got it." Jawsome said to him.

Sharkami covered Jawsome's mouth while smirking a bit. "bingo." Sharkami and Jawsome stopped behind the old tree, watching Siren and Inkling zapping Ash. "right there. dead ahead. TV dinner. doesn't get easier than this."

Jawsome began concentrating. "okay. come on. eye on the Arcanine. Sharkami. I can do this. what if I can't do it?"

"then don't bother coming home." Sharkami replied to him.

"good point." Jawsome began walking towards the group. back with Siren and Inkling, they kept zapping Ash. "hit him on the foot again." Siren said to Inkling as Inkling zapped Ash's right foot. and Ash continued screaming out loud through the duct-tape.

Inkling laughed a bit. "I like the funny face he made." Siren said to himself. but the fun and excitement didn't even last longer when they saw Jawsome coming towards them. "Inkling!"

"look out!" Inkling exclaimed to him. just as he and Siren floated off, leaving Ash behind. Ash looked around. just as he managed to get his arms outta the rope. he ripped the duct-tape off his mouth. which caused him to yelp in fear.

"guys? guys? don't leave me alone!" Ash exclaimed to them. "come on! there could be Sharpedos out there!" all of a sudden, he began feeling a real super-hot breath behind him. he turned himself around. and he saw Jawsome with his mouth wide open. looking like he was gonna eat him. but not really. Ash screamed in fear and panic. while trying to escape the rope. but it was no use. he kept screaming in fear and panic.

"oh no. wait. I'm sorry." Jawsome said to him. "no. I'm not gonna-"

"Jawsome. like this." Sharkami showed him how to eat a young human.

"oh no." Jawsome began licking Ash's head. but he gagged a bit in revolt.

"just get over it!" Ash exclaimed to him. "wait a minute. do me a favor. don't chew me. I'm not made for that."

"I'm not gonna eat you." Jawsome whispered to him.

"don't do the whole head trip thing with me!" Ash said to him.

"listen to me. don't move 'til I tell you to." Jawsome growled a bit and he cut the rope. "back up!" he pretended to eat Ash by forming the cloud dust.

"that's it, Jawsome." Sharkami smiled a bit. "there you go, buddy. that's it. wave those fins, baby. dig in."

Ash stared at Jawsome, confused about what he was doing. "look. I'm just pretending so you can get away. now when I turn around, you take off." Jawsome turned himself around while pretending to chew away. "tastes just like Unpheasant."

Sharkami smacked his right fin on his forehead while groaning a bit. "oh no. no."

Jawsome turned himself around. and he saw that Ash was still there. "what did I tell you?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't get it. you want me to go now?" Ash asked him.

"what are you doing?! just go!" Jawsome exclaimed to him.

"that's it! I've had it up to here!" Sharkami snarled out loud. and he began floating around towards Ash.

"oh no!" Ash exclaimed out loud.

"go! run!" Jawsome exclaimed out loud. just as Ash continued running around. "no! Sharkami!

wait!" but Sharkami wasn't even paying much attention 'cause he was still chasing Ash around.

Ash continued running around. "get your boy! get your boy!" Sharkami was getting real super close to killing Ash off. but all of a sudden, a real super old tree branch fell from the real super old tree. and it landed on Sharkami. which of course was causing him to fall over near Ash. far away, Siren and Inkling heard distant rumbling. they both turned around. and they saw a real super big cloud of dust. back with Ash, he crouched down, shaking. just as the dust began clearing up. Ash slowly turned himself around. and he saw that Sharkami wasn't even moving around.

Jawsome gasped in shock. "Sharkami!" he removed the tree branch off Sharkami.

"Jawsome?" Sharkami coughed a bit. "Jawsome. is that you?"

"I'm here, Sharkami." Jawsome replied to him. while hanging on to him.

"come closer." Sharkami said to him. just as Jawsome came closer.

"yes? what is it?"

"I'm so cold." Sharkami whispered to him.

"that's just because we're cold-blooded." Jawsome said to him. just as Sharkami smacked him once more. "ooooow."

"moron…" Sharkami coughed a bit and closed his eyes. he was now deceased and gone for good now.

"Sharkami. nooo…" Jawsome wailed out loud. "nooooooo! this is all my fault. I'm so sorry, Sharkami. how am I ever going to explain this to Father? oho no!" Jawsome floated away sobbing a bit. the cloud of dust formed. causing Ash to back away near Sharkami's motionless body. Ash noticed that a certain somebody was pointing something near his back. he shrieked a bit. and he stuck his hands up. he turned himself around. and moving around, martial arts karate style.

"back up! I'm crazy! I'm tripping!" Ash exclaimed out loud while making martial arts karate sounds. unknown to him, Siren and Inkling saw in surprise and amazement on what just happened. Ash continued doing the moves. 'til he hit Inkling's right front tentacle by accident.

"ow. what the-" Inkling said to himself. just as Ash screamed out loud. just as Siren and Inkling screamed out loud back at him. Ash screamed out loud again. just as the two Tentacool brothers screamed out loud while hanging on to one another. Ash went behind Sharkami's motionless body while taking cover.

"don't hurt us! we're sorry! it was all Inkling's idea!" Siren said to him. just as Inkling nodded his head in agreement. but he stared right at Siren. and Ash stared right at them. a bit confused.

"Ash. did you kill that Sharpedo?" Inkling asked him. Ash began thinking about the question Inkling asked him. if he told them that the tree branch killed Sharkami off, the two Tentacool brothers would continue where they left off. unless of course he answered them in a much more different way. by fibbing. he smirked a bit. and he stood on Sharkami's motionless body. "uh…yeah. exactly how it looks? that's how it is."

"what happened?" Siren asked him.

Ash smirked a bit. "oh. you wanna know what happened?"

"yeah. you're standing on top of a Sharpedo." Inkling said to him.

"go on, dude." Siren said to him.

"well. I'll tell you what happened." Ash said to them. back at the Wailmer Wash, Ash began his entire story, not only in front of Siren and Inkling, but everybody. everybody came all around, listening to Ash's entire story. while Dawn sat on the stair steps right near him.

Ash began his entire story. "big old Sharpedo about forty-feet-long. so he's floating at me. right?" the entire crowd gasped in shock. "with teeth like razors. and I was like, you're gonna come at me like that? you're gonna come at the A like that?"

"hey. do the muscle thing. the muscle thing." Dawn said to him.

"oh. right." Ash said to her. while flexing up his muscles. "so I told that dude. 'you see this guy?' and I pointed like this. well. he's got a brother. and he lives right over there. and I think it's time for a little…" Dawn joined in with him. "…family reunion!" Ash and Dawn laughed a bit as the crowd cheered. Dawn smiled a bit. just as she stood next to him, bright and cheerful.

"You see? I told you." Inkling said to them while looking right at the camera operating man. "we were right there."

"pardon me. move it!" Lyra shoved them aside.

"oh. sorry." Siren said to her. "she seems so nice when on TV."

Lyra walked in front of Ash. while holding the microphone. just as she lightly pushed Dawn next to the camera operating man. "Ash. Lyra Willingham. as the first Pokemon master and breeder in history to ever take on a Sharpedo and win, tell me. does this mean you're now protector of the neighborhood city town? new sheriff in town?"

"Lyra. I'm keeping it real." Ash said to her. "can I call you Lyra?"

"of course." Lyra replied to him.

"any Sharpedo who tries to mess around in Ash town is going down." Ash explained to them. in the neighborhood city town, all of the people and Pokemon cheered. while watching Ash on the real super big screen on the building. Jessie and James, who was carrying Jessie's shopping bags, watched the real super big television screen. while seeing Ash.

"yeah. it's poetic. in the heat I get poetic."

"Ash. hmm…Ash." Jessie said to herself. back at the Wailmer Wash, Meowth got next to Ash. "get outta here. any further questions will be filled in by me."

"and you are?" Lyra asked him.

"I'm his manager. Meowth." Meowth replied to her.

"and I'm his financial advisor." Sidewalker said to them. just as everybody stared right at him. just as he was feeling a bit embarrassed. "you wanna see my puppets?" Sidewalker got out his hand puppets. "hello."

"could you excuse us for a moment?" Ash asked them. just as he and Meowth turned themselves around. and they began their conversation with one another. "my manager?"

"dude. you're a superstar. we're going to make a fortune." Meowth said to him.

"what about the five G's?" Ash asked him.

"forget the five G's." Meowth said to him. "from now on, we're partners."

"so what are we talking about?" Ash asked him.

"I'm thinkin' about the money split." Meowth explained to him.

"that's generous." Ash grinned a bit.

"you get fifteen. I get ninety-five." Meowth said to him.

Ash frowned a bit. "I don't think so."

"talk to me." Meowth said to him.

"you get twenty-five."

"thirty."

"forty-five."

"dude. you're going the wrong way." Ash said to him.

"fifty-fifty!" they both said at the exact same time.

"you happy?" Meowth asked him.

"no. you?" Ash asked him.

"no." Meowth said to him.

"deal." Ash and Meowth began doing their handshake. and they both faced the entire crowd to continue.

"my manager and I are now prepared to take your questions." Ash said to them.

"Ash. are you gonna continue working here at the wash?" Lyra asked him.

"please. I barley work here now." Ash replied to her. just as the entire crowd laughed a bit.

"keep it up, dude. you're slaying them." Meowth said to him.

"no. he's slaying Sharpedos." Lyra corrected him.

"hey. that's good. I like that." Meowth said to himself. "Ash, the Sharpedo slayer."

"whoa. a Sharpedo slayer." Max, Bonnie and Molly said to themselves in surprise and amazement.

"you heard it here first." Lyra said to them while Ash flexed his muscles on the real super big screen. "from now on. any Sharpedo tries to bother this neighborhood city town, it's his funeral."

Chapter Six: Ash becomes real super popular

Back at the pirate ship house, the depression, grief and sorrow just began for the passing of Sharkami. Master Ripjaws' father stood there with Master Ripjaws' mother. who was sobbing silently on his left shoulder. he stood there just as the other Sharpedos picked up the casket and buried him. Master Ripjaws' parents stood there. to see Sharkami's grave one more time. inside the mansion, Gameshark just finished the song dedicated to Sharkami. "Sharkami. we'll miss you."

"to Sharkami." the Sharpedos said to themselves. while toasting for Sharkami's memories. meanwhile, Master Ripjaws and Inkshot sat there. just as Typhoon began speaking of Sharkami's passing.

"it's a terrible thing, Master Ripjaws." Typhoon said to him. "everybody loved Sharkami. may whoever did this, die a thousand deaths. may his stinking maggot-covered corpse rot in the fiery depths of heck."

Master Ripjaws stared right at him. and he sighed heavily. "thank you for your kind thoughts, Typhoon."

Typhoon nodded his head. "oh. and may Jawsome be found safe and sound too. hope he's okay." Typhoon left the entire room.

"oh. Jawsome." Master Ripjaws sighed depressingly.

"don't worry, boss." Inkshot said to him while pouring red rose tea.

"I said some things to him. we gotta find him." Master Ripjaws said to him.

"we're searching everywhere." Inkshot said to him. "forget about it. he'll turn up."

"what's wrong with that boy?" Master Ripjaws asked himself. "why does he have to be so different? Jawsome. god rest his soul, he was perfect. perfect." but unknown to him, Jawsome stood outside by the window, watching him. he looked really depressed, sorrowful and heartbroken that he would never become the true Sharpedo within him. he had no other choice but to float away. 'cause Master Ripjaws would never accept him for who he really was.

"oh, Inkshot. who could've done this?" Master Ripjaws asked him.

Gameshark cleared his throat. "Master Ripjaws. at this most difficult time, please accept my deepest condolences."

"thank you, Gameshark. for honoring my son with your song." Master Ripjaws said to him.

"I've got some news. about the guy who took out Sharkami."Gameshark said to him.

"let's talk over here." Master Ripjaws and Gameshark floated towards the window to have a private conversation.

"he came outta nowhere, this guy." Gameshark explained to him. "calls himself 'the Sharpedo slayer.'"

Master Ripjaws cleared his throat that Gameshark faced him in the wrong way. "Gameshark. over here."

"sorry. 'the Koopa slayer.'" Gameshark said to him.

"where do I find him?" Master Ripjaws asked him.

"he's from Pallet Town." Gameshark replied to him. "that's all we could dig up."

"thank you. thank you." Master Ripjaws said to him. just as Gameshark bowed. and he left the entire room. " Inkshot. get Meowth. he knows that city town better than anybody. I wanna find this guy. I wanna know about him. where he lives. where he sleeps. he pops the skin or hair. I wanna know about it. who is the Sharpedo slayer?" Master Ripjaws wouldn't even stop at anything to get his revenge on the guy who took Sharkami out.

"here he is! the Sharpedo slayer!" in the city town, Ash turned himself around, wearing a cape and sunglasses. everybody began cheering wildly for the new action hero in town. from magazines, television commercials and billboards, he was now real super popular. later on, he went in the elevator, taking him to the top of the neighborhood city town. the doors opened up. just as he walked into his new apartment. Ash's eyes widened with amazement that everything he dreamt about had already came true. he was a somebody right now.

"let's get this party started right…" Ash said to them when everybody came around him and they all danced it off for the house party while Siren and Inkling were the DJs.

"there he is. the big A." Meowth said to him.

"Meowth." Ash said to him.

"pound that dude. pound it." Meowth said to him. just as Ash gave him the pound. "Ash. raise the neighborhood city town. raise the neighborhood city town, dude." Meowth continued dancing around like crazy.

"uh, yeah." Ash backed away.

"oh yeah." Meowth continued dancing around. just as Ash backed away, Dawn entered the entire room, holding something in her hands.

"Dawn. you made it." Ash said to her. just as he was about to snuggle up with her.

"wait. you're gonna break my gift." Dawn said to him.

"come on. you didn't have to get me anything." Ash said to her. "what'd you get me?"

"well? what does every bachelor pad need?" Dawn showed him his gift: a lava lamp.

"a lava lamp?" Ash asked her while smiling a bit. "how'd you know I love lava lamps? you know what? I'm gonna put it right next to my other one." Dawn smiled a bit. but her eyes widened. and her mouth dropped open when she saw a super big lava lamp. this penthouse had everything.

"hey. come on, Dawn." Ash said to her. just as Dawn snapped herself out of it. "I wanna show you the best thing about this place." Dawn walked over to the balcony. and she sat next to Ash. they stared right at the beautiful viewing. "how great is this view?"

"top of the neighborhood city town. it's amazing." Dawn said to him while gasping in amazement.

"I know. it's beautiful. right?" Ash asked.

"like you. like your new apartment. it's…wow. awesome." Dawn said to him. while hoping that he didn't hear that she was real super beautiful. "what I'm trying to say is, that I'm proud of you."

"yeah. it was nothing. really. you know." Ash said to her. "hey. you know what? wait right here. don't move. I'll be right back. girl, you are gonna flip." Ash left the balcony to get something for her. Dawn began checking her breath and she was hoping that this was the time to tell him how she was feeling about him.

"I'm back." Ash said to her.

"oh you're back." Dawn said to him.

Ash chuckled a bit. and he walked around towards her while holding something behind his back.

"you know what, Dawn? where I'm at right now, this whole new life I got. all my dreams coming true. in a weird kind of way. well. I never could've done it without you."

"oh. sure you could. probably not." Dawn chuckled a bit.

"Dawn? here." Ash showed her a little purple box.

"oh. Ash." Dawn said to him while knowing that she thought it was gonna be an anniversary date gift.

"I know. I'm just sorry that it took so long." Ash apologized to her.

"oh that's okay." Dawn said to him. just as things were going real super good. Ash opened the lid while showing her the pink pearl. "my Grandmother's pearl."

Ash showed her the pearl along with the other pearls, forming a necklace. "with interest. now I don't forget anything. and I never forget who my friends are."

"ohhhhh." Dawn was a bit crushed. but it was real super nice that he gave her the pink pearl. they both chuckled a bit. he stared right at her. just as Dawn smiled a bit at him.

"Dawn. I-" Ash was about to say something. but their entire minute got interrupted by Jessie. "oh hi. I'm not interrupting, am I?" Jessie asked him.

"yes. we're talking." Dawn said to her.

"no." Ash replied to her. "hey, Jessie. you're here." Dawn cleared her throat a bit. "oh. you gotta meet my best friend, Dawn."

"your best friend? oh that's sweet." Jessie said to him. "so you won't mind if I steal him for a while. will you?" Dawn shook her head silently. Ash and Jesie walked inside. just as Jessie looked right at her. Dawn watched them going inside. and she sighed depressingly that she was real super close of telling Ash how she was feeling. back inside, Ash and Jessie walked inside, holding hands with one another while everybody kept dancing around.

"so. look who's a somebody after all." Jessie said to him while smirking.

Ash chuckled a bit. "well. you know…"

all of a sudden, Paul entered the penthouse, breathing in fear and terrified. "Sharpedos! on the…on the edge of the neighborhood city town! they're real super big!" everybody began screaming in fear and running around for cover.

"Sharpedos!" Ash hid behind Jessie. "okay. everybody go home to your loved ones. spend the last few hours that you have with each other." everybody stopped screaming in fear and running around. they stared right at him when Jessie stepped aside. Ash, on the other hand, looked right at them. "oh. I mean…that's the way it used to be around here. we'd have been all scrambling for cover and stuff. but not since Ash came to town." everybody cheered wildly while Ash spoke with Jessie. "so, Jessie baby. just wait here and I'm gonna be right back. I'm gonna go take care of the Sharpedos." Ash walked around towards the elevator with a terrified look on his face.

"go get 'em, tiger!" Meowth cheered out loud to him.

"biceps! triceps!" Ash laughed and growled a bit heroic.

"oh yeah! Ash!" Brock cheered out loud to him.

"go get 'em, Ash!" Meowth said to him. just as everybody kept cheering wildly. and Jessie stood there. Ash kept growling a bit just as the elevator doors closed. just then, he began sobbing and wailing while knowing that he was gonna be in super big trouble.

Chapter Seven: Ash and Jawsome meet again

During the evening time, two Sharpedos named Jawbreaker and Sharkesha were floating around the neighborhood city town, looking for Jawsome. "Jawsome!" Jawbreaker called out loud to him. "where the heck is he? Jawsome!"

Sharkesha smacked Jawbreaker on the back of his head. "hey. what are you doing? there's a Sharpedo slayer out there. you wanna be next?"

"oh yeah." Jawbreaker began whispering a bit loudly. "Jawsome!" Sharkesha rolled his eyes. just as he and Jawbreaker continued looking for Jawsome. meanwhile, Ash was hiding in the tall sunflowers. when the Sharpedos went by. Ash sighed heavily in relief. "that was close."

"super close." a peculiar voice said to him. he looked right up, real super slowly. and he saw that Jawsome was behind him, looking way down. "don't panic." Jawsome said to him. just as Ash smiled a bit. and he was about to scream in fear. but Jawsome covered his mouth. and he began hanging on to him. "quiet. we're safe."

"oh no. not you again." Ash said to him. while getting outta Jawsome's grasp.

"yeah." Jawsome said to him. 'til he screamed in fear. and he hung on to Ash. "aaaah! what was that?!"

"hey. what is with you, man?" Ash asked him while getting outta the Sharpedo's grasp again.

Jawsome shushed him. "he could be anywhere."

"who?" Ash asked him.

"the Sharpedo slayer." Jawsome replied to him.

Ash got outta Jawsome's grasp. "there's no Sharpedo slayer out here."

Jawsome chuckled a bit. "yes. there is."

Ash mimicked Jawsome's chuckle. "no. there is not. trust me on this one."

"get a hold of yourself, man!" Jawsome exclaimed to him. "this is no time to act crazy!"

"no. you're the one who's acting crazy, crazy!" Ash exclaimed back to him.

Jawsome sighed heavily. "you're right. you're right. I'm sorry. I haven't been myself since the uh…the uh…don't cry." Jawsome fell on the grass, crying a bit. he would never forget that incident when Sharkami was killed off and he never came back home in the first place.

"no. no. it's not all that. just relax." Ash went up to Jawsome.

"it's my fault. kinda. not really. but still." Jawsome said to himself. "my brother-"

"you just need a little more time, man." Ash said to him. "look. things will work out."

"you think?" Jawsome asked him while calming himself down a bit.

"yeah." Ash nodded his head. "so look. I'm gonna take off. and you can just go home. okay?"

"okay." Jawsome nodded his head in agreement.

"hey. good luck." Ash began leaving. but Jawsome grabbed him. "wait. I didn't catch your name."

"Ash." Ash introduced him. while trying to get outta Jawsome's grasp again.

"I'm Jawsome hi." Jawsome waved to him. "wait. where do you live?"

Ash got outta the Sharpedo's grasp. "Jawsome. where I come from, Pokemon masters and breeders and Pokemon don't like being grabbed by Sharpedos."

"sorry 'bout that." Jawsome apologized to him.

"now go home." Ash said to him.

"there is no home for me anymore." Jawsome said to him. while he was still hanging on to Ash. "don't you understand?"

"you're too big to be grabbing on me like that." Ash said to him.

"take me home with you." Jawsome said to him. while letting go of Ash. "you won't even notice I'm there. I'm like the invisible Sharpedo." Jawsome covered his eyes for a bit. while he uncovered his eyes. then he was staring right at Ash. who stared right at him.

"are you crazy?" Ash asked silently to him.

"please! I'm begging you!" Jawsome said to him. while sobbing a bit and begging at the exact same time. "don't leave me alone!"

"hey. put your hands on the wall where I can see them!" a certain boy exclaimed to them by the wall. Ash and Jawsome hid by the wall, flat. Ash shushed Jawsome. and he began looking. 'til he saw Max, Bonnie and Molly.

"got ya!" Max said to them.

Ash sighed heavily. "hey. the shorties."

"Ash!" the three kids cheered out loud.

"what are you all doing here?" Ash asked them.

"check out my mad burner." Molly said to them.

"whoop, there it is." Bonnie and Max said to them. Ash saw the picture painting of him riding around on a Sharpedo.

"hope you like it." Max said to them.

"wow. you guys got some skills." Ash said to them. real super impressed.

"it's wild style, dude." Bonnie explained to him.

"hey. what did I tell you?" Ash asked them. while staring right at them. "you kids shouldn't be doing this. and besides, it's not safe for you to be out here at night." Ash lightly pushed the 3 kids.

"it is now, Ash. you're the Sharpedo slayer." Max said to him.

"Sharpedo slayer?" Jawsome whispered to himself. a bit confused that Ash was a Sharpedo slayer.

"what was that?" Molly asked them.

Ash coughed a bit while covering Jawsome. "sometimes I would be coughing up for nothing. look. I need you off these streets. seriously. get your behinds home. I'll tell your moms and dads that you're all doing bad stuff." he watched the three kids leave.

"bye, Ash!" Max waved to him while leaving with Bonnie and Molly. Ash walked back to the other corner. where Jawsome listened to the entire thing. "Jawsome. did you see what just happened there?"

"I know. they think you're the Sharpedo slayer." Jawsome began laughing a bit. "as if."

Ash frowned a bit. "I don't appreciate your funky tone, actually." Ash began leaving.

Sharpedo followed him. "no wait up. I'm sorry. seriously. I don't want you mad at me. and I certainly don't want you to…" Jawsome snickered a bit. "…slay me." the Sharpedo began laughing his head off.

"you having a good time?" Ash asked him. while Jawsome continued laughing his head off. "you enjoying yourself? well. for your information, I am the Sharpedo slayer. Ash the Sharpedo slayer. that's what people will be saying." Ash kept bowing while imagining that the other people and Pokemon continued cheering wildly. Jawsome stopped laughing a bit. when he heard what Ash just said to him.

"wait…you mean you…" Jawsome said to him.

"Yeah." Ash said to him.

"when the tree branch-" Jawsome gasped in shock and alarm. "oh. you're a liar."

"hey. I didn't lie, alright?" Ash said to him. but Jawsome looked right at him sternly. "Alright. I lied. but it was a little lie. come on. who's it gonna hurt anyway? man. I'm not explaining myself to you. you're on your own." Ash walked right off.

"no problem." Jawsome followed him around. "and if, God forbid, someone should, I don't know find out the truth about the Sharpedo slayer on my way back."

"you wouldn't." Ash knew that Jawsome would tell everybody the truth.

"oh. I would." Jawsome smirked a bit. Ash didn't wanna be the laughing stock in the neighborhood city town and be a nobody again. he sighed heavily. and he smiled a bit while petting Jawsome's head. "come here. of course you can come with me. but you know, you're a Sharpedo, right?" Ash entered the hole to the sewers. "and I'm a Sharpedo slayer. so we can't be seen together. got it?"

"got it." Jawsome understood. and he followed Ash over to the neighborhood city town. later on, Ash opened the sewer lid on the road, checking to see if everybody was out there. but there were no signs of him or her. "okay, Jawsome. follow my every move and don't make a sound."

"you got it." Jawsome understood. just as he heard his echo. "oh. an echo. echo." Jawsome chuckled a bit when he heard more of his echoes. "now batting for the Seagoville Sharpedos-" Ash smacked him on the back of his head. "ow. it's not okay to hit."

Ash removed the lid. and he climbed up on the road. Jawsome began climbing up. but without warning, he was stuck due to his real super big body. Ash grabbed his fins. and he pulled him out. but suddenly, they heard speaking. Ash pulled Jawsome outta the sewers. and he took cover right by the building. Ash saw Cassidy and Butch walking by. he watched them walking by. and he signaled Jawsome to follow him. he began doing some martial arts karate moves towards the mailbox. and he went towards the garage by the Wailmer Wash. he pushed the button to open the door for Jawsome. the Pokemon master and breeder signaled for him to come on.

Jawsome smiled a bit. and he began following Ash's moves. but without warning, he began tumbling towards garbage cans and mailboxes, making all sorts of loud noises. he crashed into the dumpster. and he entered the garage. Ash cringed a bit. and he got a bit annoyed. "get your tail in here."

"do you think anybody heard that?" Jawsome asked him. when he hit his head on the door. and he came inside. Ash groaned a bit. but he hoped nobody woke up from their slumber and beauty sleep.

"who was that?" Sidewalker opened the door to the dumpster. "hey. who's out there?"

"hey. Sidewalker." Ash greeted him.

Sidewalker smiled at him. "hey. I thought I heard something. did you get that Sharpedo?"

"you have no idea, Sidewalker." Ash replied to him.

"that's great." Sidewalker said to him. "well. I gotta go. my show's on." Sidewalker closed the door. and he began watching television. Ash heard Sidewalker laughing inside the dumpster. and he came inside the garage, closing the door. "okay. we're safe. for now."

"wow. hey. a bed." Jawsome went on the bed, relaxing himself. "that's heaven. yeah. snuggly, buggly, wuggly." Jawsome snuggled up with Ash. while giving him a noogie. "I love you, man."

"whoa. hold up. stop it." Ash got outta Jawsome's grasp. "you wanna be friends? fine. but we gotta lay down some rules. rule number one: no snuggly, buggly…whatever that just was."

"you got it. anything else?" Jawsome asked him.

"rule number two: and this is the most important rule. in the event that possibly you get hungry-" Ash explained to him.

"don't worry. I'm not gonna eat anybody." Jawsome began explaining to him with a super upset look. "in case you haven't noticed, I'm different from the other Sharpedos. let's put it that way, leave it that way. goodnight." Jawsome was terribly upset 'cause he couldn't eat anybody like Ash.

"define 'different.'" Ash said to him.

"you'll laugh." Jawsome turned right over to the other side.

"I'm not gonna laugh." Ash said to him.

"that's what you say. and then what happens later? you laugh." Jawsome said to him.

"Jawsome. I give you my word." Ash held his right hand while promising that he won't laugh his head off.

Jawsome sighed heavily and sat right on the bed. "okay. I will tell you. I'm…I'm a vegetarian." he covered his head with a pillow while ignoring the laughter from Ash. he stared right at him that Ash didn't even laugh his head off.

Ash, on the other hand, tried super hard not to laugh. "hold up." he took one deep breath. "so that's it?" Ash tried real super hard to hold in his laugh.

"what do you mean that's it?" Sharpedo asked him while getting up. "you're the first Pokemon master and breeder I've ever told. I'm so tired of keeping it a secret. and my father. he'll never accept me for who I am. what's wrong with me?" Jawsome began crying a bit.

"nothing's wrong with you, man." Ash said to him while walking next to the nightstand. "I think all Sharpedos should be like you."

"gosh, that's sweet of you to say." Jawsome said to him.

"and stop blaming yourself for what happened." Ash said to him.

"really?" Jawsome asked him.

"if you wanna blame anybody, blame me." Ash said to him while getting up. "if I hadn't been there in the first place, none of this would've happened." he walked away from him.

"jeez. if Father knew that, he'd ice you for sure." Jawsome said to him. just as Ash stopped. and he turned himself around. "what's he? the godfather or something?"

"yeah." Jawsome replied to him.

"what do you mean yeah?" Ash asked him.

"yeah. he is." Jawsome answered him. just as Ash's eyes and ears twitched. and he gulped nervously in fear. "hey. are you alright?" Jawsome asked him. but Ash didn't even answer him. he was now terrified that if Master Ripjaws had found out, he was one doomed Pokemon master and breeder.

Chapter Eight: Jawsome's plan

back in Ash's apartment, Siren and Inkling were playing a video game when they saw Ash, being chomped by a Sharpedo in the game. they were the only ones in while everybody and their Pokemon left to get their slumber and beauty sleep. "I told you, man!" Siren snapped.

"I'm doing it, dude!" Inkling snapped back.

"a, b, left and right." Siren explained, helping out.

"a, b, left and right!" Inkling continued playing. while Meowth was on his smartphone with an angry and serious look on his face. "oh yeah? well, I've got news for you. the Sharpedo slayer made me his manager. so I'm now, what I like to call, untouchable. you hear Meowth?"

"Meowth!" Ash entered the living room, panicking.

"hey, Ash." Siren and Inkling greeted, still playing the game. Ash saw himself, being chomped, again. "oh…hey, Meowth."

"hey. here he is. my brother, my player, the Sharpedo slayer." Meowth said to Master Ripjaws on his smartphone. "now you'll have to pay me protection!"

"Meowth. the deal is off." Ash explained to him. "that Sharpedo I killed was Master Ripjaws' son."

"I know. isn't it great?" Meowth asked him while grinning.

"not if he finds out." Ash replied to him. still terrified.

"what do you mean?" Meowth asked him. "he's on the phone right now." Ash gasped in fear that Master Ripjaws found out already. "that's right, Ripjaws. I got the Sharpedo slayer right here in front of me." Ash told him before to shut the dang heck up. but Meowth nodded. and he gave him thumbs up, "and he's gonna slay you. and all your Sharpedos."

"Meowth! shut up! shut up!" Ash snapped at him.

"hey. that's good. I like that." Meowth smiled a bit. thinking that Ash was telling Master Ripjaws to shut the dang heck up. "shut up, Ripjaws! ha! shut up!" Ash sighed heavily. knowing that he was in real super big trouble. "what? dude. he wants to talk to you."

"no. I'm not here. I'm not here." Ash backed away.

"yeah. he's right here." Meowth handed Ash the smartphone. and Ash took it.

"hellooooo?" Ash said to Master Ripjaws gently.

"shut up?! shut up?!" Master Ripjaws snapped at him on the other line. "you don't tell me shut up! I tell you shut up!" before Master Ripjaws finished, he heard a beep on the on line. "hello?"

"how you doing?" Inkshot asked him. "let me a pie with everything on it. anchovies, meatballs, mushrooms-"

"Inkshot!" Master Ripjaws snapped at him.

"oh. hi boss. what are you doing working at a pizza joint?" Inkshot asked him.

"get off the phoooone!" Master Ripjaws exclaimed out loud.

"but I'm hungry." Inkshot said to him. just as he hung up.

Master Ripjaws sighed a bit. and he continued where he left off. "my guys are coming for you, Sharpedo slayer. and they're gonna tear you arm from arm!" Master Ripjaws hung up the phone, angered. Ash slumped on the sofa. knowing that he was done for.

"come on. who's your puff daddy?" Meowth asked him. while holding the smartphone. "who takes care of you? okay, boys. game's over. time to get busy." he turned off the game.

"aw. come on. I was winning!" Siren said to him. just as Inkling sighed heavily. just as he saw two scraps on the floor. "Siren. weren't you supposed to pick those from the dance off party?" Inkling began picking them up. and Siren stopped him. "hold it there, dude. these two are mine."

"wait. what?" Siren asked him.

"that's Bulbasaur. and that's Squirtle. Squirtle's very noisy. and Bulbasaur's the crazier one. but get them together as always. and-woohoo. hang on to your sides." Inkling explained to him. just as Siren picked up the scraps. and he smirked a bit. "real super nice meeting you both." he crumbled both of them up. and Inkling gasped in shock and horror. "aaaaaaaah! you psycho killer!" he began chasing Siren. real super ticked. but Meowth grabbed both of them. while leaving.

"Meowth. you got it all wrong." Ash followed him around.

"they're gonna write songs about you, dude." Meowth said to him. just as the elevator doors closed on Ash.

"Meowth! come on!" Ash pushed the elevator button. repeatedly.

"maybe I can help." Ash turned over. and he saw Jessie sitting on the other sofa. then he smiled a bit. "hey. Jessie. what are you doing here? you're just popping up sometimes. places."

"well you said to wait. so…" Jessie clapped a bit. when the unusual music played in the background. and the lights dimmed a bit. "…I've been waiting."

Ash laughed nervously. just as the doors opened. "look. I don't have a lot of time for the hand-clappy making-lights-go-off music-playing-in-the-dark thing."

"what are you afraid of?" Ash asked.

"afraid?" Ash laughed a bit. "yeah. that's funny. I'm not afraid of nothing. it's just…ohh…" Ash relaxed himself when Jessie began massaging his shoulders.

"oh, baby. you're so tense." Jessie said to him. just as she continued massaging the Pokemon master and breeder's shoulders.

"Yeah, I've been stressed lately. you know. protecting the neighborhood city town." Ash said to her. while stretching a bit. "I do that myself. you know. It's just crazy."

"it's too much. it's piling up." Jessie said to him.

"Yeah. you know. one thing on top of the other." Ash said to her. "actually. I was thinking about retiring."

Jessie slammed Ash against the lava lamp. "you don't wanna do that."

"I don't?" Ash asked her.

"you have worked your way to the top." Jessie explained to him. "and you don't wanna go back to the bottom. do you?"

"no." Ash replied to her. "no way."

"you just show them who's boss. and those Sharpedos will leave you alone." Jessie said to him.

"yeah. you're right." Ash said to her. "Jawsome." Ash left the apartment, leaving Jessie smiling a bit. later on, Ash went back to the garage to speak with Jawsome. he had a plan. so that the other Sharpedos won't even bother him again. he opened the door. and he looked for Jawsome. "Jawsome. where are you?" all of a sudden, Ash jumped a bit. when he saw Dawn staring right at him.

"hello, Ash." Dawn greeted him.

"Dawn. what are you doing here?" Ash asked him.

"what? did you forget something?" Dawn asked him. just as Ash looked around. "oh maybe you forgot…" Dawn slammed the door angrily. "…your Sharpedo!"

Jawsome kept sipping on a mixed berry banana smoothie. when he saw Ash. "hi."

"uh…Sharpedo! run, Dawn! I'll cover you!" Ash protected Dawn. "quick! before it's too late! go on without me!"

"oh stop it." Dawn turned on the light. still angry and upset about it. "your pet Sharpedo here told me everything."

"dang, Jawsome. why would you do that?" Ash asked him. a bit upset about it.

"I don't know. I like her." Jawsome replied to him.

"thank you. I like you too." Dawn smiled at him. but it didn't even last longer. when she got angry and upset with Ash. "what were you thinking? bringing him in here?"

"no. I'm still working out the kinks." Ash replied to her.

"kinks? you lied!" Dawn snapped at him. "everybody thinks you slayed the Sharpedo!"

"who am I to tell them they're wrong?" Ash asked her.

"how could you lie to me, Ash? me!" Dawn exclaimed to him.

"don't take it personally." Ash said to her. "come on. I lied to everybody!" Dawn looked a bit hurt that Ash, not only that he fibbed in front of her. but also in front of everybody and their Pokemon as well too. "okay. look. I'm sorry. I totally betrayed you. but listen. I've got one little problem I gotta take care of."

"oh? what's that?" Dawn asked him. a bit upset about it.

"Sharpedos are coming to get me!" Ash exclaimed to her.

"and they should." Dawn said to him. "I mean, what'd you expect? you'd take credit for killing a Sharpedo, and then everything would be fine and dandy for the rest of your life?"

"uh…yeah." Ash answered her. "but hey. don't you worry about it. me and Jawsome got it. we're gonna fix it."

"whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't want any part of this." Jawsome said to them.

"too late, veggie-boy. they're looking for you too." Ash said to him.

"point taken. what's the plan?" Jawsome asked him.

"this is what we're gonna do." Ash began his plan.

"here's the plan. you tell the truth. and, you. go home." Dawn said to both Ash and Jawsome. just as Jawsome and Ash looked right at her. and at one another. until they began to laugh. Ash continued. just as he held the brush full of red paint. "okay. look. this is what we're gonna do. we're gonna paint you up all bloody. a mess. right? then you're gonna float out. and meet the Sharpedos before they get here. and you're gonna say 'stop. don't y'all. don't go no farther! that Sharpedo slayer's crazy, man! he beat me senseless. he's a stone-cold killer, man!' then you could tell them I'm huge. tell them I'm handsome. throw that in. say I'm buff."

Dawn rolled her eyes at Ash. "you're going way too far, Ash."

"actually. he hasn't gone far enough." Jawsome said to her. while looking right out the window.

"exactly. what?" Ash asked him.

"you need to slay a Sharpedo. and I need to disappear. so here's what we're gonna do." Jawsome said to him. just as Ash began paying real super close attention and listening for what Jawsome's plan was.

Chapter Nine: The pretend battle fight

back in the neighborhood city town, Lyra was on camera. but she looked a bit terrified. "this is Lyra Willingham, reporting live. we just received reports of a-"

"Sharpedo!" Brock exclaimed out loud. just as he and the others ran around right past Lyra, screaming in fear. Jawsome floated around in the neighborhood city town. just as everybody continued screaming in fear and running around and taking cover. he pretended that he was gonna attack everybody. which was a part of the plan from last evening.

"look! it's the Koopa slayer!" Lyra exclaimed to them. just as the camera operating man used the filming camera, seeing Ash. Ash stood on top of the truck, wearing a purple cape. it was time to take on the Sharpedo. Ash turned himself around. and he posed as a brave young hero. but the breeze blew the cape, covering him. he removed the cape. and he chuckled a bit. Ash yelled out loud. and he ran around. while holding out his right fist. just as Jawsome floated near the road. and towards him, snarling a bit. they kept going towards one another. 'til Ash karate punched Jawsome's left eye. sending him flying and crashing through the billboard.

"Holy mackerel! did we get that?" Lyra asked them.

at the Wailmer Wash, Dawn kept writing the papers. just as Erika was by her desk. seeing Ash on television. "hey, Dawn. Ash is on TV." Dawn turned herself around. and she saw Ash. who was showing off. she rolled her eyes. and she continued her real super hard work. while the entire gang joined in. while watching him. back in the neighborhood city town, Jawsome and Ash hid by the wall. just as Jawsome cringed a bit in pain. holding his left eye due to the karate punching.

"do you hear that, Jawsome?" Ash asked him while hearing the wild cheers. "they are going crazy, man. they love us."

"they love you. they hate me." Jawsome said to him. "can we switch sides? I can be the Pokemon master and breeder slayer. they'll never see it coming."

"come on. you sell this. you'll never have to go home again." Ash said to him. "you can start a new life. now give me a growl."

"okay." Jawsome nodded his head in agreement. he began purring a bit. just as Ash sighed heavily. Jawsome cleared his throat. and he began snarling real super loud. and near Ash's face. that snarl got everybody's attention by the building.

Jawsome had already quit snarling. "like that?"

"that was…pretty good." Ash replied to him. "let's go." they continued where they left off. just as Ash ran around. and Jawsome stomped around. chasing him around. past Lyra. back again at the Wailmer Wash, everybody continued watching the battle fight. while Meowth was on his smartphone. speaking with Master Ripjaws.

"is that all? do you understand how huge my client is? turn on your TV." Meowth said to him.

back at the battle fight, Jawsome stopped closely towards Ash. chomping his teeth to capture him.

"Jawsome! Jawsome! Jawsome!" Ash exclaimed out loud. just as Jawsome got him on time. everybody, including Dawn, gasped in shock and surprise. back at the Wailmer Wash.

"turn off your TV. turn off your TV." Meowth said to Master Ripjaws on his smartphone. in the neighborhood city town, everybody stared right at Jawsome. but they took cover real super-fast. when Jawsome turned himself around. Jawsome, on the other hand, began looking for Ash.

"don't swallow." Ash said to him. still inside Jawsome's mouth.

"Ash?" Jawsome asked him.

"no. it's Sean Brody. of course it's me!" Ash snapped at him. "why did you do that?"

"I'm sorry." Jawsome apologized to him. just as he hung onto his stomach, not feeling too good.

"no. 'sorry' is when you step on somebody's foot at the movie theater." Ash explained to him.

"'sorry' is when you say 'when's the baby due?' and it turns out the person's just fat. this is as far away from 'sorry' as you could possibly get!"

"but…Ash. I think I'm gonna puke." Jawsome said to him. just as he was about to spew him out.

"no, no. Jawsome. just open up. nice and easy." Ash said to him. just as Jawsome began opening his mouth. real super nice and easy. just as Ash strained a bit. everybody, including Max, Bonnie and Molly, watched. hoping it was Ash. and all of a sudden, Ash opened Jawsome's mouth. just as everybody cheered wildly. while flashing their cameras.

"are you not entertained?" Ash asked them. "you can't handle the truth! you had me at hello!"

Dawn looked a bit confused. when she watched him on the television screen. she shook her head left and right. while Meowth was on his smartphone. "turn you TV back on. what are you doing turning your TV off?"

Ash began riding around on Jawsome. like Link on Epona. while everybody continued cheering wildly. Meanwhile, Inkshot and the Sharpedos walked and floated around towards the neighborhood city town. by the order of Master Ripjaws. Ash began using Jawsome as a barrel. just as Jawsome began getting motion sickness. Inkshot and the Sharpedos continued looking for Ash. to settle up a score with him.

"this neighborhood city town is huge." Inkshot said to them. "how are we supposed to find the Sharpedo slayer?" that's when he and the Sharpedos heard Jawsome wailing loudly far away. just as he was thrown. Jawsome fell on the bridge. while Ash flexed his muscles. but it didn't even last long enough. when he saw Inkshot and the Sharpedos. Inkshot watched the Pokemon master and breeder. finding out if he was real super good. Ash knew this was the time for the grand finale. he pulled Jawsome's tailfin. just as Jawsome pretended to struggle in pain. "this is it, Jawsome. big finish. just like we practiced."

"the flying Sharpedo?" Jawsome asked him. while grinning a bit.

"The flying Sharpedo." Ash replied to him. just as he began picking Jawsome up. but he was way too heavy. "a little help here, buddy boy?"

"sorry." Jawsome apologized to him. just as Ash managed to lift Jawsome up. and he spun him around for the finish. he grabbed his tailfin. and he spun him around. real super-fast. 'til he threw him around. Jawsome screamed out loud. just as he got thrown around. without warning, he smashed into the screen of the building. and he began falling over to his near-death experience. Jawsome continued screaming out loud. just as Ash watched him.

"curse you, Sharpedo slayer!" Jawsome wailed out loud. while falling into the deep dark pit. he continued falling all the way down. 'til he came over to the side. and he continued wailing loudly. he began wailing silently. and he made some real super loud crashing sounds.

back on top, Ash sighed heavily. and he came on top of the truck. just as the light bulbs popped outta the screen. due to the crash. "yeah. and you tell Master Jerk-Jaws. that I don't never, ever, ever, never wanna see another Sharpedo on this neighborhood city town. again. ever!" Ash snapped bravely and heroically to them. just as Inkshot and the Sharpedos retreated back to the sunken pirate ship house. "remember this name. Ash. the Sharpedo slayer!"

back at the Wailmer Wash, the entire gang cheered wildly. just as Meowth cheered wildly. "you see? you see?" at the bottom, Jawsome went to the secret pit. finally finished with the job. back on top, everybody continued cheering wildly for Ash's victory. Jessie was in the crowd. real super proud that Ash had won the battle fight. so she walked towards him. about to do something. Ash continued showing off. in front of the camera. just as Jessie came by. she grabbed Ash. stunning him.

"whoa. hey. Jessie…" Ash was interrupted. when Jessie put her mouth against his. back at the Wailmer Wash, Dawn smiled at Meowth. Meowth grinned a bit at her. and he watched the television screen. but he stopped smiling a bit. and everybody stopped cheering wildly. Dawn looked a bit confused. and she watched the television screen. what she saw made her gasp in shock and horror. she saw Ash kissing Jessie.

"seems the Sharpedo slayer not only conquered a few Sharpedos today. but maybe a few hearts?" Lyra asked them on the television screen. "has the neighborhood city town's most eligible bachelor pad been snapped up? I'm Lyra Willingham. here live. watching the Sharpedo slayer. making out." Dawn felt her heart broken. just as she left her desk. Meowth watched her leave. knowing that she was in love with Ash the entire time. and it looked like Dawn's heart was now broken.

Chapter Ten: The argument/planning to set things the right way

back at the Wailmer Wash, Dawn was reading the newspaper, staring right at the photo of Ash, being kissed by Jessie. she was angry and upset from what she just saw. while Jawsome was behind the curtain, about to dress up as something. "hey, Dawn. can you hand me the blue one?" Jawsome asked her. just as Dawn handed him the can of blue paint. and she continued reading the newspaper. "thank you."

Ash came in, laughing his head off. "look who stepped in the room." the Pokemon master and breeder continued laughing his head off. just as Dawn continued reading. and not smiling at anything at all.

"yeah!" Jawsome laughed a bit.

"Ash and Jawsome! what a team, baby! give me that! give me some five!" Tommy said to him.

"high five! low five!" Jawsome high and low fived with Ash.

"did you see me? I was like…" Ash began making martial arts karate noises. "I was crazy."

"when you punched me, the crowd was…ahh!" Jawsome said to him.

"yeah. they ate it up." Ash said to him. "it was like an Ash explosion."

"how good was I?" Jawsome asked.

"oh. you were the bomb." Ash replied to him.

"thank you." Jawsome bowed. and he smirked a bit. "and hey, hey, hey. Casanova." Dawn turned herself away angrily. "I was your big finish on the news. nice smooch, lover boy."

"whoa. ixnay on the isskay, man." Ash whispered to him. "that's private."

"private?!" Dawn asked him. "the entire neighborhood city town saw you do it!" Ash held her right hand. but she swiped her right hand away.

"hey. somebody's in a bad mood." Ash joked a bit. "come on, Dawn. let me see that smile." Ash pressed his fingers beside Dawn's mouth making her smile at everything.

"knock it off!" Dawn pushed his arms away.

"what's gotten into you?" Ash asked her a bit confused.

"me?! I swear! sometimes I wanna take your big dumb dummy head and just…" Dawn punched her left hand real super-fast.

"Dawn? what's your problem?" Ash asked.

"problem? there's no problem. I don't have a problem." Dawn answered him. "Miss Perfect is the one with the problem."

"hey. you guys-" Jawsome said to them.

"what do you got against Jessie?" Ash asked her in concern.

"not my lips. that's for sure." Dawn said to him. just as Jawsome cringed a bit.

"what's going on?" Ash asked her. while not knowing what the Pokemon mistress and breeder was talking about.

"I'm gonna stay outta this one." Jawsome hid behind the curtain.

"why would you even care about Jessie anyway?" Ash asked her a bit upset.

"I don't!" Dawn exclaimed to him.

"You don't?" Ash asked her.

"no!"

"no what?"

"I don't know!"

"you wanna-" Jawsome began explaining to them.

"nooooooo!" Ash and Dawn snapped at him. making him back away.

"just tell me something, Ash. 'cause I'm curious." Dawn said to him. while walking away. just as Ash paid real super close attention listened to what she was saying to him. "why do you think she's interesting? huh? do you think for one minute that she would even be with you if you weren't the famous Sharpedo slayer?"

"please. don't fight." Jawsome begged to them.

Dawn ignored the vegetarian Sharpedo. "are you blind?"

"at least she treats me like I'm somebody!" Ash said to her. getting angry and upset about it.

"would she love you if you were a nobody?" Dawn asked him.

"nobody loves a nobody!" Ash snapped at her.

"I did!" Dawn confessed to him. just as she walked away. Ash was real super shocked from what she just said to him. he stared right at her, now found out that she had been in love with him this entire time. Dawn continued. depressingly. "before the money. and before the fame. before the lie. to me, you were a somebody, Ash. now you're nothing. but a fake. a sham. a con. you're a joke." Ash just stared at her. terribly upset. since she admitted that she was in love with him.

"here I come." Jawsome opened the curtains. revealing his disguise. "ta-da! Riptide. the Wailmer washing Finizen." Jawsome/Riptide smiled at them. but his smiling face faded away. when he saw Ash and Dawn staring right at one another. terribly upset about it. Dawn sighed depressingly. and she looked away.

"Dawn?" Ash tried real super hard to say something to her.

"just forget it! just go!" Dawn exclaimed to him. "'cause I'm tired of hearing how everything you had in your life wasn't good enough. including me." Ash tried real super hard to explain to her. but he was feeling defeated. he began leaving the garage. depressed, sorrowful and heartbroken. Dawn watched him leave. and she began sobbing silently.

"Dawn?" Jawsome/Riptide asked her.

"oh. I'm sorry." Dawn apologized to him. "go back and do it again."

Jawsome/Riptide looked depressingly at her. knowing that she was crying a bit. he cleaned the teardrops away. "hey. come on. it'll be okay." Dawn smiled a bit.

meanwhile, Ash just closed the door of the garage. and he walked away from Wailmer Wash. he was still terribly upset that Dawn was in love with him all this time. and he didn't even know that after she confessed. he walked around in the neighborhood city town. staring right at the billboards of his popularity. but he wasn't bright and cheerful.

"you can't handle the truth!" Ash said to them in the video clip. "you got Sharpedo breath!" Ash sighed heavily. and he continued walking around. all he wanted was to become a somebody. but what about Dawn? he stared right at another video clip of him. drinking a Coca Cola. he walked away from the neighborhood city town.

later on, he saw Max, Bonnie and Molly playing around with the fire hydrant. and cheering wildly for him. and they saw Nastina snapping at them. telling them to go back home and get their slumber and beauty sleep. Ash chuckled a bit. just as he saw them messing around with Sidewalker. who just woke up. Ash chuckled a bit silently. 'til he saw his new home. which of course made him terribly upset about it.

at his penthouse, he entered the living room. where Meowth and the others were dancing it off. but he wasn't even in the mood. he passed right by, not paying any attention. meanwhile, Jessie, who sat by James, saw Ash. going over to the balcony. she looked a bit concerned.

Ash went outside. and he looked right at the viewing. still not bright and cheerful.

"preparation A…slays hemorrhoids. like Ash slays Sharpedos!" Tug said to the viewers. "oh. hey, Ash."

Ash waved hello. just as Tug floated away. he sighed heavily. while Jessie stood by the door.

"Dawn is right. I am a joke."

Jessie rolled her eyes. but she smiled at him. "hey, Sharpedo slayer. why are you out here? all your friends are inside."

"not all my friends." Ash said to her.

"you mean that Pokemon mistress and breeder at the Wailmer Wash?" Jessie asked him. while caressing his face. "forget about her. she's a nobody."

Ash walked away. "no. I'm the nobody."

Jessie chuckled a bit. "oh. let me guess. she told you that she loves you. is that it?" she laughed a bit. just as she took his right hand. "it's not like you feel the same way about her." she continued laughing a bit. what she said to him was true. Ash did feel the exact same way about Dawn. so he smiled at her.

"you know what? I don't think it's gonna work out." Ash backed away.

"wait. are you dumping me?" Jessie asked him. just as Ash sighed heavily. and he nodded his head. but he yelped a bit. when he saw her getting ticked off. "let me explain something to you."

back inside, Meowth continued dancing it off with Meowzie. 'til he and the others stopped. and they saw Jessie throwing Ash against the glass door a couple of times and the door didn't even break apart.

"young love." Meowth laughed a bit. along with the others. Jessie threw Ash against the wall. one more time. and she walked away. leaving Ash. who slid down on the glass door.

Chapter Eleven: Dawn kidnapped

during the morning time, Ash had just bought balloons and a box of chocolate hearts. this was his chance that he was gonna tell Dawn that he really loved her. he ran around towards the Wailmer Wash. while Jawsome, who was disguised as Riptide, was working. 'til he saw him. "hey, Ash."

"I can't talk. I gotta find Dawn." Ash said to him. "I gotta tell her…I love her." Jawsome/Riptide grinned a bit. and he followed the Pokemon master and breeder. just as everybody cheered wildly.

"way to go, Ash!" Misty cheered out loud to him. at the office, Siren and Inkling were now in charge of answering the wireless phone. but they weren't doing so well.

"hello. Wailmer Wash." Inkling said to them. Siren grabbed the wireless telephone. "give me the phone, Inkling! we get a Wailmer of a wash."

"give me the phone!" Inkling grabbed the wireless telephone. "and the price is…very, very low. considering good washes."

"how many times do I have to tell you?" Meowth asked them. "it's 'gosh!' you get a Wailmer of a wash. and the price. oh my gosh!"

Inkling answered the wireless telephone. "Wailmer Wash."

"rhymes with gosh." Siren said to them. just as they laughed a bit.

Meowth groaned a bit in annoyance. "give me that! get outta here! both of you! go be useless somewhere else!"

"Meowth? where's Dawn?" Ash asked him.

"you tell me." Meowth said to him. just as he answered the wireless telephone. "Wailmer Wash. you get a Wailmer of a…oh…it's for you." he handed Ash the wireless telephone.

Ash handed the stuff over to Sharpedo. and he answered the wireless telephone. "hello?"

"is this the Sharpedo slayer?" a certain somebody asked him.

"yes. it is." Ash answered him.

"it's Inkshot the…I mean, forget about it." Inkshot said to him. "now you follow these instructions to a lot of lies. okay? file cabinet, top door. there's a package. get it." Ash did what Inkshot just said to him before. he opened the package. 'til he saw what was inside of it. it was Dawn's necklace.

"that's right, tough guy. we've got your girl." Inkshot continued. "now there's gonna be a sit down in one hour."

"who is it?" Jawsome asked him. just as Ash already shushed him.

"be there. if you don't wanna see her sleeping with the humans and Pokemon. the dead ones." Inkshot said to him. "now nod your head that you understand." Ash nodded his head. "now tell me if you nodded."

"I nodded." Ash said to him. just as he hung up the wireless telephone worried and concerned.

"they've got Dawn. and they want a sit down. I never meant for anybody to get hurt. especially not Dawn. this is all my fault."

"that's a classic move. I saw her a hundred times." Meowth said to him.

"they take the thing you love the most. and then they use it against you." Jawsome/Riptide said to him. just as Ash had no other choice. he was gonna rescue her. "look. we've gotta go to that sit down. and we've gotta save her."

"whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. look. I wanna save Dawn too. but I can't just waltz in there and say 'hi, Father. I'm a Finizen'." Jawsome/Riptide said to him.

"Jawsome?" Meowth asked him.

"and my friend, the Sharpedo slayer is a fake." Jawsome/Riptide continued.

"fake?!" Meowth exclaimed in shock.

"come on. we're gonna need a better plan than that." Jawsome/Riptide finished.

Meowth laughed a bit. "this is a joke. right? 'cause you know. I told Ripjaws-" Meowth stopped. and he remembered what he said to Master Ripjaws back then.

Flashback Sequence….

"shut up, Ripjaws! shut up!" Meowth exclaimed to him. just as Master Ripjaws growled angrily on the wireless telephone.

End of flashback sequence…..

Meowth panicked in fear. now knowing that he was one doomed cat Pokemon. "tell me you didn't make it up, dude! tell me that's not Jawsome! tell me that you're a real Sharpedo slayer! please!"

"I'm sorry, Meowth. I'm not." Ash sighed heavily but his face brightened up a bit. "but the Sharpedos don't know that." since Meowth now knew that Ash wasn't even the Sharpedo slayer, the Sharpedos and Master Ripjaws didn't even know that neither. Ash was still gonna rescue Dawn. no matter what happened.

Chapter Twelve: The sit-down showdown

back in the pirate ship house, all of the Sharpedos were sitting at the dining table for the meeting. but however, they were still terrified 'cause Ash was at the end of the dining table. along with Jawsome, disguised as Riptide. and Meowth. both Ash and Jawsome/Riptide gulped nervously. while Meowth was breathing repeatedly in stress. 'cause if the Sharpedos and Master Ripjaws had found out that Ash wasn't even the Sharpedo slayer, they're skins and furs would be barbecued. they all sat there not saying one single word. just as the Sharpedos still stared right at Ash. the Pokemon master and breeder was about to pick up a mug. but he saw that the Sharpedos moved away in fear, thinking that he was about to strike at them. he smirked a bit seeing that the Sharpedos were super terrified. he decided to have a little bit of fun and excitement by pretending to be terrifying. so he let out a tough growl at them. terrifying them just as one Sharpedo fainted a bit. Ash chuckled a bit. just as Meowth stared right at him.

"will you stop clowning around?" Meowth asked him. "this will never work! we're dead! we're dead!"

Ash shushed the cat Pokemon. "thank you, Meowth. thank you." he spoke to the Sharpedos. "and my man, Meowth, has just begged me not to murder-lise all of you up in here. now I might listen to him. but then again, I might not. and that depends on the individual behavior of all the individuals in here. individually. isn't that right?" Meowth nodded with one single grunt.

"look. he's got Finizen muscle." Jawbreaker whispered to Typhoon.

"the Jabberwocky got beaten up by a Gyarados." Typhoon whispered back to him.

"now. which one of you Sharpedos called this meeting?" Ash asked them. just as Master Ripjaws floated in there.

"that would be me." Master Ripjaws slammed the door. making Ash and the group jump nervously in fear. Jawsome/Riptide covered his face. so that he wouldn't even notice him.

Master Ripjaws floated frontwards. just as he took one single look at Ash. "so. this is the Sharpedo slayer. I've been looking forward to meeting you. I feel like we're practically family. you know that? funny. isn't it? I brought my kids to this world. full of love and care. and you took one out. you know who I am? do you know who I am? I'm the master. the boss of the Sharpedos."

"hey, boss. I saved you a seat." Inkshot offered Master Ripjaws one of the dining chairs.

Master Ripjaws sighed heavily. and he took his seat. "I've been running this neighborhood city town since before you were born. and if you thought a guy like me can't take a guy like you. well guess what?" he signaled the butler to bring the tray over to the dining table. "you thought wrong." he grinned evilly when he removed the lid, revealing Dawn. who was tied up and gagged. Dawn looked around. 'til she saw Ash. but she stared right at him.

Ash scoffed a bit. "man. you're the one who's wrong. I barely even know that girl. what's your name, miss?" Dawn was outraged that she was being ignored.

"oh yeah? well I say he's bluffing." Jessie came out with her arms crossed. all of the other Sharpedos were in love with her. especially Gameshark.

"how you doing, baby cakes?" Gameshark winked at her. while making Jessie roll her eyes in annoyance.

Ash stared angrily at her. "Jessie. we meet again."

"you know, Sharpedo slayer. there's only one thing I like better than money. revenge." Jessie said to him. while wanting revenge for being dumped and ignored.

"I'm in love." Sharkesha smiled a bit.

"your Sharpedo slaying days are over. and there's nothing you can do about it." Master Ripjaws smirked a bit. but all of a sudden, Ash began laughing a bit. making him a bit confused. Ash continued laughing a bit. just as Jawsome/Riptide and Meowth joined in with him. especially Inkshot as well too.

"what's so funny?" Master Ripjaws growled a bit. making Inkshot stop.

"you've got nothing. nothing. Riptide. take her out." Ash ordered him. and Jawsome/Riptide went towards Master Ripjaws. and he chomped Dawn in his mouth. and he went back to Ash. Master Ripjaws and the other Sharpedos stared with wide eyes. when Ash began dancing it off on the dining table for his victory.

"okay. new rules. nobody. I repeat. nobody makes a move without my okay." Ash announced to them. just as he picked up a spoon. "I am the Panama Canal, baby. from now on, everything flows to me." he placed the spoon on top of Typhoon's head.

"what'd he do? I can't see it!" Typhoon panicked in fear.

"you don't lose a tooth. you don't grow another one back without my okay. okay?" Ash snapped at Jawbreaker.

"okay." Jawbreaker nodded his head. just as Sharkesha sneezed a bit.

"if you sneeze, you don't wipe that boogie without my okay. okay?" Ash asked him.

"okay." Sharkesha whimpered nervously in fear.

"and you don't say 'okay' without my okay. okay?" Ash asked them.

Meowth noticed that Jawsome/Riptide was holding his mouth. meaning one single thing. "okay. thank you all for coming. we gotta go."

"one more thing. what's with all of you loving in the love boat?" Ash asked them.

"Ash." Meowth called out to him. just as he saw Jawsome/Riptide gagging a bit. 'cause Dawn was still in his mouth.

"you were all supposed to be the mob. get yourselves a real hideout." Ash continued.

"Ash." Jawsome/Riptide gagged a bit once more.

Ash ignored them. and he looked right at Master Ripjaws. "and take a good look, Ripjaws. it's over. you're old school."

"Ash!" Meowth exclaimed to him.

"what?" Ash asked them. just as without warning, Jawsome/Riptide spewed out Dawn and the other things that he ate besides other people and Pokemon.

"the horror! the horror!" Jawsome/Riptide exclaimed out loud. just as Ash chuckled nervously.

"uh…excuse me." he went back to Dawn. "Dawn? you okay?"

"no. I am not okay!" Dawn snapped at him. "he ate me!"

"I couldn't take it. the taste was killing me." Jawsome/Riptide said to himself.

Master Ripjaws gasped in surprise. when he had heard Jawsome's voice. "Jawsome?" Master Ripjaws gasped in shock and surprise. and he sighed depressingly just as he walked up to him. "is that you? you're alive?" Master Ripjaws snuggled up with him. "I thought I'd lost you. what are you wearing? what is that?" he asked him while seeing what Jawsome was dressed up as. Jawsome sighed depressingly that he had been discovered. and he began removing his disguised outfit. the other Sharpedos gasped in surprise and amazement that Jawsome was in the meeting the entire time.

"hey, boss. it's Jawsome. he was wearing a disguise so we wouldn't recognize him. but now he's not wearing a disguise. so we do recognize him." Inkshot explained to him. while making Master Ripjaws super annoyed.

"hi, Father." Jawsome grinned nervously.

"are you kidding me? are you kidding me? are you outta your mind? do you have any idea how this looks?" Master Ripjaws asked him. knowing that his one and only son was in disguise.

"this is the best sit-down I've ever been to." Typhoon whispered to the other Sharpedos.

"what are you doing with this guy? he took out your own flesh and blood. Sharkami." Master Ripjaws said to him.

"but, Father. listen." Jawsome began explaining to him.

"but nothing. you never take sides against the family. ever." Master Ripjaws said to him.

"hey. Master Ripjaws sir. it's not his fault. this is between you and me." Ash came in. so that things wouldn't even get much worse than before.

"what did I ever do to you? you took Sharkami away. and you turned Jawsome into a Finizen." Master Ripjaws said to him. "I'm gonna get you!" Ash screamed in fear. and he began running around.

"Ash! look out!" Dawn exclaimed to him.

"Ash! run! run for your life!" Jawsome opened the door. and Ash ran out. he jumped out the window. and Master Ripjaws got his head through the window. he snarled in anger and revenge. while Ash panted in fear.

"you're gonna regret the day you became the Sharpedo slayer!" Master Ripjaws snapped angrily.

"well, well, well. look who's stuck in the window." Shellster came out. while smirking a bit. "you still hungry, big guy? well. say hello to my little friends." all of the Claunchers came out. and they all began attacking Master Ripjaws' face. Shellster laughed a bit. that he got his revenge back then. Ash smiled a bit. and he ran off to get away from Master Ripjaws.

Master Ripjaws was now outraged that he broke free through the part of the pirate ship house. and he got the Claunchers off him. he saw Ash running around. and he took off after him. he wouldn't even stop at nothing to get his revenge. and avenge his two sons.

Chapter Thirteen: Ash tells the truth/Master Ripjaws reformed

Siren and Inkling were seen at the wireless telephone trying to get the saying right.

"try it again." Siren said to him.

"Wailmer Wash." Inkling began. "you get a Wailmer of a wash. and the price..." but then he stopped short when he saw Master Ripjaws coming towards the wash. and he screamed out loud. "oh my gosh!"

"hey! you got it right!" Siren said to him. before he turned himself around. and he saw what they were speaking about. and also screamed out loud in fear.

"everybody outta the way!" Ash screamed out loud to some workers. who didn't need another invite. and they all moved the Sharpedos. Ash ducked under some machinery trying to avoid Master Ripjaws. who was swiping his right fin at him. "okay, Ripjaws." Ash said to him. just as he ran away. "it's time to clean up your act."

"Father!" Jawsome yelled out to him. "leave him alone!"

Ash got to the tower where Ritchie usually worked. and he activated the bubbles. lots of bubbles showered everywhere. making it real super hard for Master Ripjaws to see everything. Dawn, who was standing near the bubbles, was trapped in a giant size one by accident. however, from Ash's height, he could see the silhouette of a Sharpedo. and when the Sharpedo got closer to a clasp, Ash smashed the button for it to go down. and the clasp held the Sharpedo.

Ash, thinking that he got Master Ripjaws, got outta the tower. and he went over the clasp. just as he said to him, "okay, Ripjaws! game's over!"

however, Master Ripjaws wasn't even in there. but it was Jawsome instead.

"Jawsome?" Ash asked him in confusion. "what are you doing in there?"

"sorry." Jawsome apologized to him.

"where's Ripjaws?" Ash asked himself. however, just as he asked that, Master Ripjaws suddenly popped up behind him, grinning evilly. Ash blinked his eyes, seeming to realize it. and he said to himself, "he's right behind me. isn't he?"

"you're mine now." Master Ripjaws said to him. just as Ash turned around nervously in fear.

Ash screamed out loud. just as he dodged Master Ripjaws. and the chase continued 'til he climbed up to the tower.

"let's finish this, Sharpedo slayer." Master Ripjaws said to him. just as Ash continued luring him to another clasp.

"oh. we're about to." Ash said to him. just as he pushed the emergency button. and the clasp grabbed Master Ripjaws.

a toothbrush came out. and it brushed Master Ripjaws' teeth. and it sprayed water in his mouth. which of course he spitted out. and Ritchie walked over. and he put an air freshener on Master Ripjaws' tooth.

"thank you for coming to Wailmer Wash." Ritchie said to him.

"okay." Dawn said to them. still trapped in the bubble. hovering over Siren and Inkling.

"somebody needs to get me outta the bubble. today."

Ash popped the bubble. and he held Dawn. knight and princess style.

they both stared at 1 another. 'til Lyra pushed her outta the way. and she said to them, "the Sharpedo slayer does it again. this time, luring two Sharpedo into his death trap of hygiene. Ash, you're the somebody everybody wants to be. the top of the food chain. tell our covers how it feels to be you."

Dawn sighed depressingly before she turned back. and she walked away. which of course Ash noticed. just as he yelled out, "Dawn!"

"Ash." Jawsome said to him. while struggling to get outta the clasp. "get me outta here. quick. I need a head start to get as far away as possible."

"look what you did to him." Master Ripjaws said to him angrily.

"this is a misunderstanding." Ash began. but he was ignored by Dawn. just as somebody yelled out, "Ash! over here!"

everybody continued chanting out loud, "Sharpedo slayer! Sharpedo slayer!"

finally, Ash couldn't even take it any longer. "stop! I am not a real Sharpedo Slayer!" everybody gasped in shock just as he also said to them, "I lied."

"what?" Master Ripjaws asked him in confusion.

Sidewalker popped up. and he yelled out just as he began sobbing a bit, "and I'm not a real financial advisor!"

"okay." Ash said to them before he continued, "it was a tree branch that killed Sharkami. I didn't have anything to do with it and neither did Jawsome."

"well? if that was true," Master Ripjaws said confused to Jawsome. "then why did you run away?"

"because you've always wanted me to be like Sharkami." Jawsome said to him. "I'll never be the Sharpedo you wanted me to be."

"what is your problem?" Ash asked him. "so? your son likes kelp and seagrass. so? his best friend's a Pokemon master and breeder. so he likes to dress like a Finizen. so what? everybody loves him just the way he is. why can't you? don't make the same mistake that I did. I didn't know what I had. until I lost it."

Master Ripjaws then sighed heavily. just as he said to him, "will you get me outta this? so I can hug my son? and tell him I'm sorry?"

Ash nodded his head in agreement. and he ran up to the tower. and he pushed the button. and he ran back door to the entire scene. the two Sharpedos floated up to one another.

"Father." Jawsome said to him.

"come here, you." Master Ripjaws said to him while embracing his son. "I love you, son. no matter what you eat or how you dress."

"Ash?" Dawn said to him. just as Ash walked over to her. smiling a bit.

"Dawn?" Tommy said to her. "Dawn. I wish I knew now what I know then. I mean, I wish I knew what I knew. I mean before this-"

"you're blowing it, man!" Sidewalker exclaimed to him.

"mind your business!" Ash exclaimed back to him. "it's emotional and pressure." Ash turned back over to Dawn. "what I'm saying, I just, I didn't need the top of the neighborhood city town. everything I wanted was right there in front of me this whole time."

"but what about being a somebody?" Dawn asked him.

"I'm nobody without you." Ash said to her.

Sidewalker made some kissing noises. 'til Siren and Inkling hit him on his head while Ash said to him, "you're not helping."

"come here. you big dumb dummy head." Dawn said to him. before she embraced Ash. in which of course Ash returned.

"I never told you two this." Meowth said to Siren and Inkling. "but you're the best henchmen a cat ever had. come here. group hug."

Siren and Inkling went for the group embrace. when they accidentally zapped Meowth. and Meowth pulled away. and he began rubbing where he had been zapped.

"sorry." Siren apologized to him.

"come on, Meowth." Inkling said to him. "try again. don't fret."

"forget it. the moment's gone." Meowth said to them.

Ash stopped embracing Dawn a bit. and he turned over to Master Ripjaws. and he said to him,

"so, Master Ripjaws. uh… we're cool? I mean like, the neighborhood city town is safe? walk the street, you know, without...aaah! you know."

"yeah. we're cool." Master Ripjaws said to him. just as everybody cheered. knowing that they wouldn't even need to deal with Sharpedo trouble ever again.

"Ash." Lyra said to him. "excuse me. you've lost everything you lied so hard to achieve. tell me. what's next for you?"

Ash smiled at her for one single minute.

Chapter Fourteen: Working at Meowth and Ash's Wailmer Wash

Ash was now in Meowth's office, putting up a photograph of the late Silver Ketchum. when Dawn came inside.

"come on. everyone's waiting. Mr. Manager." Dawn smiled at him.

it turned out that Ash just asked Meowth for a partnership. surprisingly, Meowth only just agreed. 'cause he was a real super nice cat Pokemon.

"okay." Ash said to her. "I just gotta put the finishing touch on my new desk." he said to the photograph, "love you, Dad."

he walked out to where Meowth was. and Meowth said to him, "hey, Ash."

"Meowth." Ash greeted him with one single smirk on his face.

"okay, partner." Meowth said to him. "let's see what you can do."

they both walked out. and Ash announced to everybody, "Meowth and Ash's Wailmer Wash is now open for business."

"yo, Siren, Inkling!" Ash said to them. just as the two Tentacool brothers began joining in. "let's get this party bump-bump bumping!"

everybody cheered. before he turned over to Carmine and Nemona. "yo! Carmine! Nemona! how 'bout we have a little Ash-licious fun."

Nemona: "you're a short little caterpillar in one big catch."

Carmine began singing to the tune of Car Wash.

Carmine: You might not ever

get rich

but it sure beats

digging a ditch

Carmine (continued): there ain't no telling

who you might meet

Ash began doing some dance off moves. before he said to them, "don't try this at home."

a movie star

or maybe a jewelry thief

workin' at the Wailmer Wash

whoa, whoa

yeah, yeah

workin' at the Wailmer Wash

yeah

oh yeah

at the Wailmer Wash

sing it with me

Dawn was right at her desk. when she heard Jawsome's voice. she looked up to see a lot of Sharpedos behind him.

"hey, Dawn." Jawsome said to her. "sorry Father and I are late. but we brought some new customers."

"hey. how you doing?" Inkshot asked her.

"wooow." Dawn said to them. "okay, guys. come on in."

Jawsome and the others went inside. and they began dancing it off.

this is no place to be

if you're planning on

being a star

let me tell you

it's always cool

and the boss don't mind

sometimes

if you're actin'

like a fool

workin' at the Wailmer Wash

"no. snap it." Meowth said to Master Ripjaws. "you ain't snappin' it."

"I'm snapping it." Master Ripjaws said to him. "a lot of Sharpedos can't do that. you know."

after that, Master Ripjaws was trying to teach Meowth to say "yo."

"yo. what's up?" Meowth asked him.

"up with what?" Master Ripjaws asked him a bit confused.

"yo! yo! yo! yo! yo! yo! yo!" Meowth said to him.

"you say 'yo' one more time. and I'm gonna 'yo' you!" Master Ripjaws said to him.

"Sorry."

just as the music played in the background, the three kids were giving paint jobs to some Sharpedos.

some looked real super thrilling. but one of them had been spray painted to look like a rodeo clown. before he said angrily to Max, "hey. you think this is funny? what am I? a clown to you?"

meanwhile, Ash saw Jawsome and a few other Sharpedos dancing around like rap stars. while Shellster and the other Claunchers danced it off as well.

when they finished, they struck a pose. and Shellster said to them, "okay, dudes. I think you got served!"

just as the entire scene was drawn to a closing, Dawn could be seen embracing Ash. and everybody continued dancing it off. Horsea from the beginning of the story sequence came by. and it winked at the audience. just as the entire scene faded to a black screen.

the entire scene switched over to Ash's old penthouse. the elevator doors opened. and Jessie appeared. unaware that Ash wasn't living there any longer.

"hello? hello." Jessie called out to him. "Ash? listen, baby. I know I was a bad girl. but come on. you have to be crazy not to take me back."

"did someone say crazy?" Sidewalker appeared outta nowhere. with a pink rose in his mouth.

he clapped. and the lights went off, making the entire scene go off.
