"Master, this is the fifteenth time I am asking, what happened?" asked the embrace pokemon through telepathy.
Ash was in his room right now. He decided to skip dinner for the night and rest for a bit. But he was having troubling thoughts regarding the earlier event that happened today along with the previous ones before. Pikachu suggested him to talk to his love expert pokemon because she is exactly the one he needs right now. Ash reluctantly agreed and let her out, but it was really embarrassing.
"Want to hear a story?" Ash said, laughing nervously.
Gardevoir looked really pissed this time as she used psychic to pick up her pokeball to return to it by herself.
"Okay, okay, I am sorry. I am telling," Ash said frantically as he snatched the ball away from her.
"About time," she muttered irritatedly with a huff.
"Ok so, once upon a time," Ash started as Gardevoir glared at him, raising her fingers as if daring him to say another word.
"Just listen to me first okay?" Ash said hastily as the embrace put down her hand and nodded, still a bit irritated.
"There was this boy, a trainer actually, who loved pokemon very much," he said.
"Yeah then?" she asked impatiently.
"Pokemons loved him too a lot..... aswellashisfemalefriends," he said, uttering the last part fuzzily.
"Pardon?" the psychic asked, tilting her head.
Pikachu was laughing and rolling on the bed, enjoying the scene even more than a comedy show.
"No-nothing," Ash said as he continued.
"Yeah so, he made lots of new friends, both male and female, and had lots of adventure together. As they grew up, some of the girls started to get his attention even more," Ash said as Gardevoir's eyes perked up.
"Oooh, love story. Then then??" she asked, now somewhat interested in it.
"Yeah then," Ash gulped before he continued. "The boy was clueless about it for quite a time. Then in the following few weeks, he hanged out with each of them separately and before he knew it, he unintentionally, not knowingly, got caught up in certain situations and....
"
Gardevoir nodded eagerly, wanting to know what happened next.
"He kissed them," Ash said in a defeated voice, definitely not proud of himself.
The embrace now looked thoughtful, as she touched her cheek with her hands.
"And the girls don't know that all of them have kissed the same boy?" she asked as Ash quickly nodded, relieved that the bipedal understood the matter.
"Exactly. Now tell me what should he do in this case?" Ash asked impatiently as Gardevoir looked confused.
"What do you mean Master? Isn't this a story?" she asked, slighty frowning.
Ash gulped again. "O-of course it's a story, I just wanted to know your opinion that's all," he said a bit nervously.
"Well, I think he should talk to them about it before things get more complicated," Gardevoir said.
"Is that so?" he asked.
"Yeah," she replied and looked suspiciously at Ash.
"Master?"
"Hmm?"
"What's going on really?" she asked uncertainly as Ash felt a familiar chill through his arms.
"We-well actually..... "

Professor Oak was sitting in his office doing some paperwork when suddenly there was a knock on his door.
"Come in."
Getting his consent, a small group of people wearing white apron entered.
"You called us Professor?" asked the feminine voice of the Unovan professor, Juniper.
"Ah yes, please come and sit down," he said as he gestured the other professors to the expensive seats placed along the long table.
They all eventually settled as Oak cleared his throat.
"I thank you for coming here on short notice," he said politely.
"Not at all Professor," said a cheerful tone of Birch.
"Yes. What can we do to help?" asked the deep voice of Rowan.
"Well I wanted to tell that I have decided to execute the plan of the event we discussed in our previous meeting," Oak said.
They all thought for a moment and finally realised what he was talking about.
"Really? That's marvelous Professor," Sycamore praised.
"Yes, the students will be delighted about it," said Juniper smiling.
"I have even contacted Professor Cerise and Professor Magnolia. They will be joining us as well," Oak added further.
"Then I think we should inform the students about it too," Professor Elm said. "After all, they will be main attraction of the event."
"I agree. Professor Juniper, will you mind to send the message to the students please?" requested Oak.
"Of course Professor. I will do it first thing in the morning," the young, hot woman replied.
"We should eat our dinner and have an early night , " suggested Rowan.
"Yes. Tomorrow morning is going to be quite busy than usual," Sycamore said smiling.
"Then let's get going," Oak said taking his coat.
The others nodded in agreement and started to exit the Kanto Professor's office.

There was nothing but silence in Ash's room right now.
Ash was sitting on the edge of his bed, face red as he looked away. Gardevoir was standing in front of him, looking at him incredulously with her arms crossed.
Pikachu was humming, roving its tail around and looking at the scene with interest.
Gardevoir gave a sigh before she spoke, breaking the silence.
"I might've heard wrong so I am confirming again," she said as Ash looked at her.
"Did you just say that you are the boy in this story?"
Ash looked nervous at her tone, but answered.
"Y-yes."
Suddenly, Gardevoir went to a battle stance as she started charging up a Shadow Ball, aiming towards Ash.
Ash immediately jumped upto his bed in a defensive stance helding his hands forward.
"What the hell?? What are yo-?"
"Something is definitely wrong with you master. Don't worry, I will save you," the embrace said ready to throw the Ghost type move at him.
"For Mew's sake woman, nothing's wrong with me!" Ash shouted desperately as Gardevoir dispersed the attack.
Pikachu already jumped to the couch and couldn't seen to hold his laugh. Ash shot a glare at the mouse.
"Thanks for the help," he said sarcastically and got down from the bed.
"So you really have kissed your female friends?" she asked again.
"No," he said as Gardevoir frowned.
"I made out with them," Ash corrected.
The embrace now put a hand on her mouth and started giggling to herself.
"What's so funny, may I ask?" Ash asked in a dangerously polite tone.
"Oh nothing. I am just happy that my pupil made out a... I mean accomplished so much in such a short time," Gardevoir said, seemingly proud of herself.
"This is not the time for-"
"All those restless hours of trying to break that dense wall of yours finally-"
"Gardevoir!" Ash said a bit loudly breaking the embrace out of her thoughts as she looked at its trainer.
"I am in a situation right now so, WHAT SHOULD I DO?!" Ash screamed helplessly.
Gardevoir just giggled.
"Like I said before, talk to them. Be honest with your thoughts. It's hard, but that's the best thing to do right now."
"I hear you," the trainer muttered with a sigh.
"I will talk to them."
"Then do it right now."
"Huh?"
"Yeah. The sooner the better."
Ash thought about it.
"I guess you're right. Besides, I don't think I can sleep tonight with this lingering in my head," Ash said.
"I can't really blame the girls you know," said Gardevoir sheepishly.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"If I wasn't a pokemon I might've done the same too," she admitted with a visible tint of red on her face.
Ash blushed deep red understanding what his female pokemon meant as he looked away in embarrassment.
"Ow," Gardevoir flinched from a static shock and looked at the yellow mouse who was glaring at her.
"What?"
"Pika pika, pikachu pikapi chu pika," the electric type scolded the fairy type who was confused as hell.
"What do you mean pokeshipping is not in the tags?" she asked, not getting the point at all.
"Don't even try to understand what he says," Ash said in a simple tone. "Trust me."
"Ok?" she said uncertainly.

'I wonder what's the reason behind him calling me? Please Arceus, let it be something good,' prayed a familiar honey blonde girl as she walked towards the boy's dorm.
'I am so tensed. What am I going to do? Is my hair alright? This is going to be so awkward,' a blunette thought desperately as she was walking towards the same destination from another direction.
'We haven't spoken at all after 'that'. Looks like it was going to happen sooner or later,' thought an amethyst haired girl with a sigh as she walked towards her lover's dorm.
'I wonder what's this about? Is he mad at me? But he liked it too. Ugghhh I am so nervous,' thought a brunette as she proceeded to the boy's dorm.
Ah yes. Our Ashy-boy is finally doing it. He thought calling the girls would be pretty awkward so, he texted them and told them to come to his dorm ASAP. The beautiful ladies were extremely startled and nervous, occasionally blushing as all of them decided to go to his room and get this over with.
Each one of them were lost in their own thoughts as they coincidentally, collided with each other at the entrance.
"OUCH!"
All of them yelled and were pushed back from the repulsive force. They composed themselves and looked at each other with surprise.
"GUYS?" they exclaimed in unison.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" they asked again in unison.
There was silence for a few moments before all of them started giggling and laughing.
"Talk about coincidence," said Anabel, giggling.
"Yeah and we clashed with each other at the same time too," added May, laughing.
"In the boy's dorm of all place," Dawn said, giggling too.
"So, where are you girls off to?" Serena asked, narrowing her eyes a bit.
The others looked a bit nervous. They weren't planning on telling anyone else about it. But it would be suspicious too if they kept it hidden so, they decided to answer Serena's question. Unfortunately, it was at the same time too.
"I am going to Ash's room," they said happily in an unison.
***
Ash was sitting on a chair, constantly fidgeting due to nervousness. He already returned Gardevoir to her pokeball and Pikachu was fast asleep on the bed.
Each and every time Ash glanced at the door, his blood pressure and heart beat tremendously rised. He said that he would tell them everything before, but it was easier said than done.
He took a glance at his faithful partner, fast asleep without a care in the world.
'Pfft, what a big help,' Ash thought sarcastically.
He was continuously repeating on how to start the conversation and tell them everything without getting killed. He was pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands to shake off the chill from his body.
The moment of waiting finally ended as there was a gentle knock on his door.
***
The walk to Ash's room was awkwardly silent.
After realizing they were heading towards the dorm of the same boy, a visible tension appeared upon the group. Each of them were lost in their own thoughts. Wondering why has he called all of them at once? Or was it some sort of party? But even so, why is it only them?
All sorts of thoughts were racing through their minds as they finally reached his room.
[N.B.Unlike the girls dorm, the boys didn't have any sort of reception or something. As if only girls could be trusted and boys could not. Talk about inequalitarianism.]
The quartet was now looking at the door contemplately. The silence was still lingering until Anabel finally broke it.
"Anyone going to knock?" she asked.
The other three broke of their trance and came down to the earth.
"I will," said Dawn as she knocked twice with her knuckles on the door gently.
Right after a few seconds, the door slowly opened to reveal a nervous, yet cute raven haired boy. The girls smiled at his sight.
"Hi Ash," they said sweetly startling the boy as he blushed a little. He wasn't really expecting all of them to come together.
"H-hi. Come in please," he said in a hasty and nervous tone as he let them in. The girls noticed this and wondered what was wrong with him.
The girl's took a seat on the couch making themselves comfortable. Ash stood before them.
"So what's this about Ash?" asked Serena.
"Yeah, why the four of us all of a sudden?" asked Dawn.
"Is anything wrong?" asked Anabel in a worried tone.
"How can we help?" added May.
The sight of these beautiful young girls giving attention to Ash was nearly taking his breath away. His face was constantly getting heated due to this, but he was doing his best to calm his aura.
Ash had done an awful mistake. Treating the girls who were his closest friends like a toy. He was very mad at himself that he of all people gave into some stupid hormones so easily. He played with their emotions and feelings. If he was going to do this, it might mean the end of their friendship for good. He might even stand out as a bad role model for people like Max and Sawyer who look upto him as their idol.
So be it.
If this was the cost, then that's that. His mom raised him to be a gentleman. She taught him to always apologise for any mistake he makes. This was a mistake too.
"A-ash?" asked Serena unsurely. "What is it? You are making us worry now," she said as the other girls nodded and stood up with the same expression.
He doesn't deserve such good people as his friends. Its time for redemption.
"I am sorry," he said.
The girls looked at each other in confusion.
"What are you apolo-?" started Dawn before Ash cut her off.
"I've kissed all of you."
