The Ketchum residence was interrupted by a persistent knock on the front door. Delia, in the midst of Easter preparations, called out to her son, who was conveniently home. "Honey, could you get that? I'm a bit tied up at the moment!" she called, her voice echoing through the house.

"Sure thing, Mom!" Ash's voice responded from upstairs.

With thunderous footsteps, Ash made his way down the stairs to answer the door. As he swung it open, he was met with the sight of Cynthia, the Sinnoh Champion, standing before him. However, it wasn't just her unexpected presence that caught his attention; it was her attire. Instead of her usual dignified look, she was donned in an outfit more suited for a nightclub, complete with sleek black bunny ears and a basket brimming with eggs.

Despite his surprise, Ash couldn't deny the charm of Cynthia's ensemble. The black hues seamlessly blended with her signature style, and the bunny ears added a playful touch.

Cynthia, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel a blush creeping up her cheeks as she met Ash's innocent gaze. It wasn't embarrassment over her attire that flushed her face, but rather the unexpected encounter.

"Um... hey Ash," Cynthia greeted, attempting to maintain her composure.

"Hey, Cynthia... Didn't expect to see you here," Ash replied awkwardly, his eyes lingering on her outfit.

"Same here..." Cynthia muttered, wondering if Delia had orchestrated this meeting.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Ash couldn't resist asking, "So... what brings you to Pallet Town dressed like that?"

Cynthia offered a sheepish smile. "I'm one of the bunnies for this year's Easter festival. Your mom didn't mention it?"

"I see..." Ash nodded, though the explanation left him slightly puzzled.

Their exchange hung in the air, punctuated by awkward silence, until Cynthia broke it with a suggestion. "Let's keep this between us, okay? Pretend you didn't see me like this?"

"Sure, sounds good," Ash agreed, stepping aside to let Cynthia into the house.

As Cynthia passed by, Ash couldn't help but notice the adorable cotton tail attached to her outfit, prompting a chuckle. He understood why she wanted to keep her appearance under wraps; the last thing she needed was Brock catching wind of it.

Cynthia as a bunny girl would've been sexy ASF LOL XD.
