How long has it been since we've actually succeeded in something?" Groaned a very tired and worn out Jessie, her hair drooping down against her lower back and skirt. She walked in time with James and Meowth as they all walked hunched over.
"When was the last time we succeeded? Every time we try and do anything, the twerp and his friends always get in the way." James smiled and lifted up his hand. "Though it's not all bad! I managed to not only find something rare and valuable, but I found a limited edition, one of a kind bottle cap from an early 1900's Cola-Frisk juice pop!" He grinned as he stuffed the bottle cap into his pocket.
Jessie and Meowth leered at him lightly and sighed defeatedly. "If Meowth hadn't opened his big mouth back at the beach, we would've been rolling in money by now and been able to pay off all our expenses for our Pikachu capturing device!" Jessie growled, the three of them sluggishly making their way down the yellow dirt road, blissfully unaware of where they were going. The forest surrounding them slowly disappeared as the scenery became one of many open spaces, turning into a plain grassy field with a few mountains far off in the distance. There even seemed to be a very quaint and small town in the distance.
"Yeah, I'll have to admit it, even if I don't want to", Meowth said as he dragged his feet along the grassy road, kicking some tiny pebbles in front of him. "I messed up big time for us all." He shrugged, having a faraway look on his face. "But seeing my sweet and dear Meowzy again was such a treat!" He fisted his paw. "Though I never realized that she would be traveling with that twerp! How in the world did he even manage to catching her?!" He yelled, ranting on about how it isn't fair, or why she still thinks that he is such a freak still! Everything he had done to impress her, too show her that he was her true Meowth! But choosing the twerp and his Pokemon over him?
"There he goes again...yapping on about that female Meowth," Jessie deadpanned while both she and James stood upright. James sighed and shook his head, shrugging his arms.
"That's love for ya. Always crushing you, hurting you when you don't want it to." James lamented, crossing his arms. "By the way, Jessie? I was wondering...exactly where are we going?"
"Ugh! Where else we are going to find the twerp and capture that Pikachu of his?" She barked. The three entered the town, walking past a sign that read 'Sirouses Town: Home of the hit Kanto TV station and kids action show series!'. "We just have to find him and plan our next attack on him!" Jessie rubbed her hands, snickering. "I have something devious in mind; in which there's no way he or his Pokemon will ever expect it!" Jessie announced while laughing openly with her arm going under her chin.
"How, Jessie? Every time we do attack or steal Pikachu, the twerp will use a Pokemon we've never see him use before, or one-upping us with an attack that our device usually can't handle!" Meowth said.
James, blinking his green eyes and looking around the town, noticed a lot of the citizens in the town were staring at them, looking as if they had seen them before. They whispered to each other, some of the children shyly hiding behind their parents. They smiled softly at the man, waving their small hands at him. James blinked in confusion, then sheepishly smiled and waved back at them.
Jessie leaned forward, wagging her finger and giggling lightly. "Ah, but that's where the plan comes into play!" She grinned. Meowth close one eye halfway, unconvinced. "Tell me, Meowth, what Pokemon does he have with him currently? If we figured that out, then we can prepare ourselves for any if not all of his Pokemon's attacks!" Jessie clapped her hands together and leaning her cheek against them.
"Oh, umm...let's see now..." Meowth counted with his fingers. James, who was only half listening to the conversation, was also looking around the town they were walking in. He noticed that people were definitely noticing them now, and began laughing and smiling as they took snapshots of the trio walking down the streets. He was becoming quite worried of what was happening. Why were people taking their pictures? What worried him the most was if they knew who they were and what organization they worked for…
"Uhh, Jessie?" James tried to speak up while tapping on the woman's shoulder, only to be ignored.
She swept his finger away, hissing "Don't interrupt!" The feline Pokemon had counted three Pokemon belonging to Ash.
"Then there's Lopunny, Meowzy, Nidoqueen from the preserve..." Meowth looked up at Jessie with a curious gaze. "And that's about it, Jessie. Why, you have something in mind that might help us?" Jessie was about to say something, to only get interrupted from James shouting.
"Jessie...!"
"Not now James!", Jessie hissed in irritation, again swiping his hand away and facing forward, using one hand to grab her right shoulder. She raised a finger and winked. "Why of course, my feline friend. Knowing that the twerp has those Pokemon, and figuring out what kind of moves they have? I have no doubt that we can build or make an incredible machine that not only resists Pikachu's thunderbolts..." She happily squealed with Meowth jumping in joy at the idea already. "But we can also make it so it will resist all of his Pokemon's attacks! And before they even know what's going on..." She punched her opened hand with a wild smile. "BAM! All of his Pokemon are down for the count, and for us to swipe from under his nose!"
She closed her eyes with a proud smile on her face. Feeling a familiar finger on her shoulder, she opened her eyes, annoyed, and turned herself towards James. "WHAT IS IT?! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, THIS BETTER BE IMPORTANT, JAMES!" She screeched, the poor man cowering in fear.
He lifted a leg and his arms up in defense, a scared expression on his face, He pointed towards the sidewalks. "D-don't look now, but I think w-we're being watched! " He stammered. Meowth and Jessie turned to the crowd that had been gathering on the side of the road.
"Err...James, why are they taking our pictures?" Meowth asked, wearing a worried expression on his face. "More importantly, why didn't you tells us this, you fool?!" He shouted, gasps of surprise coming from the crowd of people.
"James! Why didn't you speak up?!" Jessie scolded, bopping the man on his head, making him yelp, wide-eyed with pain
"What do you two think I've been trying to do for the half minute or so?!" He roared back, his partners having dotted eyes on their faces and then sweat dropped in embarrassment. They turned back to the crowd, fearing a bit for themselves of why it is they're gaining so much attention. The trio then blinked their eyes at what appeared to be a man running over towards them, looking to be in a hurry.
"There you three are!" The man called out, stopping in front of them. He hunched over on his knees, panting heavily and trying his best to catch his breath. Jessie, James and Meowth just stared at him and then at one another, shrugging.
"Do we know you?" Jessie asked with a curious tone.
The man extended a hand while stretching out his back, laughing softly. "No, not yet, but I was worried that the actors I had called from the TV station wouldn't arriving in time to do an act for my child's eighth birthday party!" He explained while clasping Jessie's hands. Shaking her profusely before moving on to James and doing the same. "I can't thank you all enough for taking the time off your busy schedule and performing to come and be part of my son's birthday party and perform in front of his family!"
Jessie chuckled sheepishly with a worried look. "Oh-oh there has to be some kind of mistake. You see, we-" But suddenly stops in mid-sentence when the man stood upright and places his hands on his sides, smiling at the baffled trio in front of him.
"Nonsense! Aren't you the villain actors for the Nine-Tailed Fox Fighter and Ninetails?" The man dug his hand into his jeans pocket, sticking his tongue out with one eye closed. "I mean you are them, who else will you be? Wearing their costumes and everything!", He then smiled, pulling out his hand and showing them a photo, his brown eyes showing relief "Here you go! You are them, right? Or are you their stunt doubles? Either one is fine by me!"
Team Rocket looked at the picture, noticing that the actors of the show do look almost identical to them. James took the picture curiously, studying it intently as Meowth climbed up onto his shoulders to get a good look at it, "Name's Shawn Gern," The man informed the trio, rubbing his semi-spiky red hair and chuckling sheepishly. "I was told that you and the main hero of the show had agreed to my terms of coming to the party. You'll put on a show and perform in front of my son and his friends from the Pokemon Academy."
"Did you say Pokemon Academy?" James asks. Shawn nodded with a smile.
"Which children will be coming to the party with Pokemon?" The man nodded though sheepishly started scratching the side of his head. Humming quietly, the man then points at the trio with folded hands.
"Well, yeah! But we had informed their parents and legal guardians that we would make sure to keep the Pokemon in a different part of our yard: the Pokemon pen I made..." He leaned forward having the trio, to also lean in and having smiles on their faces when he then told them. "My wife is still somewhat touchy about Pokemon being around our son. She's afraid that they might snap or bite our son. I've told her that Jimmy would be devastated if any of his friends or the actors of his favorite TV series didn't bring their Pokemon." He shrugged. "The party wouldn't be all that fun without them. So we came to an agreement that I allow the Pokemon pen to be open for our guests, including yours." He grinned and rubbing his hands. "So what do you say? Want to come to the party and perform for the children? I can even show you where I live!"
"O-of course, of course! Could you give us just a couple of minutes? My..." Jessie almost said friends then quickly cleared her throat, correcting herself. "Co-workers and I need to discuss something before we can take up your offer" She said. Making Shawn to nod his head while raising his hands up in understanding, then place them back to his sides. They quickly moved out of earshot, crouching down on the ground whispering to one another. "Alright, you heard what he just told us about and what he's inviting us to, right?" Jessie snickered with a evil glint in her eyes.
"All those snotty brats are gonna be at a birthday party, put their Pokemon in a pen just asking to be taken, and they think we're the actors from some stupid kid show?" Meowth smiled. "Who wouldn't take up that offer?" The feline Pokemon told the three as they nodded in agreement. Closing their eyes and rubbing their hands, each one spoke after another.
"With the Pokemon in party land"
"And the party goers busy with cake and placing"
"Team Rocket will be stashing away with all the Pokemon!" Team Rocket smiled at one another with dark intents as they whispered quietly in unison "And a haul we shall be giving for the boss, proud he will be. Then we'll be the ones celebrating!" With the plan set and silently confirming with each other through eye contact, they all get up and turn at Shawn, nodding their heads in agreement to his terms.
"Of course we will love to perform for your son Shawn! Just lead the way and leave everything else to us!" Jessie exclaimed with a happy wink. "We'll deal with the decorations and setting up the stage." She said. The man threw his arms out with glee, gesturing for them to follow.
"Wonderful! Then come with me. I'll lead the way to my house. Thank you, thank you very much for doing this." The man happily said while walking forward, unaware of Team Rocket smiling at each other in silence, trying hard to contain their excitement. "With you three and, hopefully, the main heroes of the show also coming, I have no doubt my son will think that I'm the best dad in the world!"
"Oh, no doubt!"
"Father of the year material, that's you alright!"
"Yeah, everyone in this block will be envious of you! Having the main villains and Heroes at the party!" The three exclaimed. With their plan set into motion and having a house that will be filled with Pokemon to steal all for themselves, Team Rocket will not only be swimming in gold, but they will also be taking candy from a baby! No doubt they will also be taking the cake as well, not knowing that things won't all be that easy!

Chapter 21: Tales of keeping Ninetails!
Xxx
It is a nice crisp beautiful day as our young hero, is making his way towards his next destination of becoming a Pokemon Master! Along the way and after the events of Mount Gathering; our rambunctious trainer has began actively seeking out Pokemon Trainers on his way to Saffron city. In hopes that he will be able not just have his Pokemon gain experience. But also gain knowledge and learn more about Pokemon battles, coming up with plans of attacks and ways of defeating his opponents without, having his Pokemon using up unnecessary energy and stamina when they fight.
Not only that, but Ash is also keeping tabs of just how many fights each of his Pokemon part take. Taking in mind of not only the team who are with him are getting experience, but those who is also in the PC storage or back at home with Professor Oak! "Pidgeotto use wing attack, swoop in low to strike Ninetails!" Commanded a young girl's voice. Watching her Flying type Pokemon, who is soaring in the skies, flying over couple of trees then looping around one tree. Chirping out in a battle cry, having its sights on the female Pokemon in front of it.
"Ninetails, do a front flip over the Pidgeotto and then counterattack with Ember!" Ash shouted while swiping his arm outward. Hearing the female fox yipping out in agreement to then grinding her right paw into the ground as she ran forward! Watching the flying type Pokemon getting close to her and about ready, to strike her down with a powerful attack.
"Heh easy target!" Stated the young girl trainer. Blinking her eyes when Ash smirked at her with confidence.
"You may think that. Now, Ninetails jump!" The boy called out. Watching the fox Pokemon doing just as he expected, leaps right before Pidgeotto could attack or whack the female Pokemon. With one of its wings, as the fox Pokemon curled up into a ball right over the flying type. With her landing back on the ground behind her opponent, quickly turning her head over her shoulders firing off about, three different ember attacks at Pidgeotto.
"Pidgeotto, quick dodge the attacks! Get out of there!" The girl yelled out with urgency. Watching her beloved Pokemon, tilting its body doing its best to flap out of the embers projectory. Chirping out in pain when the first ember attack exploded right next to it, to then getting hit by the second ember attack. Exploding on its back and screeched out in pain once more when the third ember attack...made contact with the flying type Pokemon's back! Almost having it fall into the ground. "No! Pidgeotto, fly up, fly up!" The girl trainer shouted. Doing a scooping motion with both of her arms, looking a bit silly when doing so.
"Alright Ninetails, go and use Quick Attack! Don't give Pidgeotto a chance to recover and end the fight!" Cheered Ash. Hearing the female Pokemon nodding in his direction and howled out a battle cry! With a short hop and a skip, the fox gathered energy around her body and runs straight to Pidgeotto, with trail of white energy following behind her. As soon she got close enough and watching the flying type about to recover? The female Pokemon, pumped more energy into her quick attack, delivering a powerful shoulder tackle on Pidgeotto! Sending the flying Pokemon straight towards a nearby tree. Having the Pokemon trainer, who is watching this, covering her eyes with both hands. Then flinching at the sound of something or someone, hitting into something hard! Followed by a light thump of a body falling on the ground; making the girl to slowly remove her hands away from her eyes.
"Pidgeotto! Aw...man", she then collapse onto her knees whining out. "We lost...return Pidgeotto." The girl reached into her purse that is hanging of from her shoulders, to pull out her partners Pokeball and watches the red beam of light absorbing her friend. Smiling kindly at the ball "you did a amazing job. Take a good rest Pidgeotto."
"Alright! You did it Ninetails, I knew you could do it!" Praised Ash. Running on over towards Ninetails, having Pikachu leaping off from his shoulders so he can go congratulate the fox Pokemon. Who is yipping and hopping in small circles, excited and happy for winning the fight for her trainer! Although, when the boy got close and about to hug her into him, the female fox quickly jumps out of the way with fear in her eyes, both of her ears folding backwards in a apologetic fashion. Whimpering up at Ash in a different tone of saying sorry to him, making the boy to smile either way for the fox. "Hey, hey it's alright girl, it's alright...no need to be sorry." Said the boy. As he goes petting her head and stroking down her body carefully, hearing the female Pokemon humming happily with a smile. Leaning against the boy's hand as he strokes her fur, while he is being mindful of where he is touching the female Pokemon.
"Something wrong? H-how come Ninetails behaved like that to you? She skittish?" The young lass asked while running on over to Ash. Staring down at him and the female Pokemon, giggling when the fox began licking his face happily. Making her trainer to smile and laugh lightly, rubbing both hands over the fox's fur, who is purring even louder now and getting really into the petting. Having the lass who comb her hand over her black pony-tail. "Well she seems to be fine now...why did she do that Ash?" She asked the boy.
"Well?" Ash was about to speak. Though couldn't when Ninetails moved closer into him, nearly knocking him down. Wanting to get petted more, though jerked back when the boy flicked her nose. Telling her to calm down, laughing at the female Pokemon moving and tilting her muzzle around. Then bark up at him saying she is calm with a goofy smile, wagging her nine different tails. Ash, who got up from the ground and patting his hand against his jeans, looked over at the girl with a caring expression. "From what I was told or had figured out so far...is that Ninetails here is a bit skittish, because of her original trainer," he then looks down at the happy fox. Who looked to be quite interested in a flower down next to her,sniffing and lightly pawing it. "My friends who met her figured the reason for her skittish behavior, is either because One: her trainer couldn't handle her hyper-upbeat personality as a Vulpix, tending to scold her or pushing her away whenever she wanted to be pet or praised for her actions or two:" The boy then took a breath and exhaled out. Rubbing a hand through his hat, watching the black hair girl in front of him, reaching out to pet the fox Pokemon. Only to have the same results and watching Ninetails; backing away with a surprised yip to then whimper.
"Or two: Ninetails behavior changed after evolution and started having her original trainer worried for her new behavior, he or she didn't know what to do with her. So, they decided too send her over at Oak to watch over her." He informed the girl. Watching her humming with sympathy, stroking the happy fox Pokemon gently. Turning her head over her shoulders smiling softly, having the boy to tilt his head confusingly.
"Well I don't know how to help or what will make Ninetails understand, not to be afraid?" The girl then stood upright with a big smile, then lifts an arm up pointing down the road. Having the fox tilt her head up at the arm , she then followed where the girl is pointing. Only to yelp and giggles when she lean to far on her right, having her fall on her side to the ground laughing happily. "There is a town just about twenty minutes from here, I heard that there might be someone there. Who could help you and getting you to understand Ninetails here, a lot better and probably figure out the reason. Behind her skittish behavior!" She exclaimed turning her head back at Ash. "Although, I don't know how legit they are but hey!" The girl then places her hands on her hips. "Doesn't hurt to give it a try right!?"
"Yeah!" Ash nodded while then turning his head over at one shoulder. "What do you think Pikachu, Ninetails?" He asks first to the electric mouse and then down to the fire fox. "Shall we check this person out and see if they could help us out?" Which the boy got happy cheers from the two of them , he watches Pikachu happily jumping off from his shoulders and then climbs on top of Ninetails back. Having the fox smile happily towards the male Pokemon and began pretending to run around with the electric mouse.
"Hey Ash earlier you were telling me that you usually have Buneary, out with you? What makes it different today?" The lass asks the boy. Watching him already walking down the road, turning his body slightly on his sides smiling at her.
"Oh, I actually sent Buneary back to Professor Oak through this!" He shouted while lifting up his arm and points at the wrist looking device. "She looked quite exhausted and considering we've done nothing but battles, the past couple days on our way here? I figured she need some rest!" Watching the girl nodding and accepting what he told her. The lass gave her good byes towards the three of them, watching Ash and his Pokemon head on into town!
"OH, ASH! The Pokemon center is in the square, right behind couple of restaurants! Can't miss it!" Lass quickly shouted. Letting the boy and his Pokemon know where to find the center, just in case he needed to get everyone rested up and back to full health.
"Thank you! You hear that Pikachu, Ninetails?" Ash chuckles out at the two. Enjoying how much the female fox, seems to enjoy having Pikachu on her shoulders. Holding onto her furry ears, waving his paw at the boy. "two restaurants at the square, there we can find the Pokemon center..." The boy then hums lightly and raised his right arm up. Looking at the transfer device Oak had given him, back at Vermilion city: he opens up the device and turns it on. Watching the screen saying connecting to PC Storage, Ash Ketchum scrolled across the screen. Then a green OK popped up next, revealing a open fields through the screen. Showing him the conditions and residence Pokemon, who are wandering and playing around the fields. "Hey girls, you all okay?" Asked the boy with a smile, laughing to himself when he saw three different heads popped out, from the side of screen. Showing a happy Lopunny, Lucario and Buneary running away from the screen, to then turning around with a salute fashion. Waving and chanting out their names to the boy.
"You all look like you're doing okay, glad you three understood why I sent you there right?" He asks getting them to nod, while Lucario wagging her tail happily. Though silently looks away with a hated look, or looking more like a jealous look. On the account Ninetails is spending time with him and no doubt that the fox, is having a blast of being able to take all the advantage she could get Ash. To liking her or petting her, or even being closer too her than she herself!
"Buneary, aery?" Asks the small rabbit Pokemon. Leaning forward to the screen, shifting her eyes left to right. No doubt asking Ash if Pikachu is there, then giggles happily when she heard Pikachu voice, from the distance saying he is there. Riding on Ninetails's back, which had the female Pokemon whining with awe, then playfully stomps her foot on the screen.
Ash couldn't help but shake his head with a grin. "Alright, so you all getting along then? You aren't giving Meowzy a hard time are you?" He asked the trio, who all happily shook their heads. Then the boy saw Lopunny moving her arms left to right, chanting lightly with eyes closed. Telling him or explaining too him about how lazy the cat is, while then bringing her hands against the side of her right cheek. Imitating what could be someone sleeping then crosses her arms underneath her breasts.
To then Lucario began speaking or making a small comment about how impatient Lopunny is, to even go saying to Ash at the screen. Who is being mindful of where he is going on the road, he then looks away from the device screen for a bit. Watching the playful Ninetails giggling with the laughing Pikachu, running in and out between some of the trees nearby the roads. Zigzagging each one of them with great reflexes, having the boy to stare a little to intently near her hips and butt cheeks. Watching the way they will clench a bit and then relaxing, having the boy to quickly shake his head and scolding to himself. Blaming Gardevoir for making him start behaving this way...or at least, starting to look at the female's body like so: especially, when the psychic female Pokemon wanted to mate with him last night.
He tries telling her no or doesn't want to do it again, despite it being literally two weeks from their last make out session. "Granted, Gardevoir made sure we wouldn't do it completely, just more of...touching her body." He fought back the heat rising in his cheeks. Half-listening to Lucario yipping towards him, though shook himself out of his train of thoughts. When he began hearing the girls in the device arguing or yelling at one another. With Lucario and Lopunny pushing their foreheads together "hey-" he quickly stops from scolding them. Noticing the challenging expression on their eyes, one he is all so familiar with, in which is the same expression he and Gary will always give each other. Whenever they get into a heated discussion or heated competition.
Laughing lightly at how desperately Buneary is doing, to calming the two females down. Unaware that they aren't really going to be fighting each other, just getting into a playful rivalry with each other. Though Ash wished it didn't had to do with figures, as the two females in the screen and grassy and bubbled filled fields, were beginning to puff they're cheeks out. Pushing both of their boobs into one another, trying to show dominance in their breasts. "Err...okay you girls work that out. I am going to head on out, just wanted to quickly check on Meowzy Oh, there you are!" He said smiling at the cat who entered on screen. Rubbing her right eye lightly from their sleep. "How are you doing Meowzy? The girls didn't wake you did they?" The boy asked sheepishly. Watching the feline shrugging her shoulders and yawned, meowing at the boy with a sort of fashion. Wagging her tail left to right while sitting down.
She then asks Ash where he was, pointing behind him noticing the open clear skies and lack of trees nearby. The boy smiled and lifts a thumb at himself "I am actually now entering a open fields, there is a town up ahead. Which is where we are going, going to heal up everyone from battling over thirty trainers today, and possibly..." He then looks up from the device. Spotting Ninetails and Pikachu only couple distance from him, with the female fox now bucking along the open fields like a wild Ponyta. With the electric mouse just in fits of laughter doing his best, to staying and hanging on the fox best he could! Without being thrown off or being thrown down into the ground, making their trainer to shake his head "find some trainers in town. To ask for some more battles for everyone with me, and I will then switch things around by having you, Lucario and Lopunny switching places with Flareon, Nidoqueen and Ninetails."
Ninetails who heard her name came to a complete stop. Sending Pikachu flying forward and bouncing on the ground, rolling to a stop and then sat up from his spot. Laughing lightly with swirls replacing his eyes, shaking his head and looking behind him. Wondering what made the female Pokemon to stop suddenly, looking curiously at their trainer. "Ninetails," Ash started saying. "Don't worry you will be switching back to with the others, once I deem they have enough experience!" he shouted. Smiling as the female fox just gave one of the cutest if not, beautiful smile she could offer with a tilt of her head. Barking at him with a nod of understanding, then playfully growls out to Pikachu.
Who got onto his feet returning the growl back with his own happy smile, digging his paw into the grassy ground. Challenging the female fox, as their trainer looked up with a soft sigh and shaking of his head "alright deal you four? Also Buneary," The boy spoke to her. Getting her to turn her head over her shoulders, looking a bit embarrassed about her sister and Lucario measuring each other boobs, to even pushing and rubbing them against one another. Showing just how plump they're breasts are compared to one another with Lopunny, seemingly winning in the challenge of softness.
"If you ever want too, you could battle also if you want?" Smiled the boy. Seeing the excitement in Buneary eyes as she claps her paws together, though blinked her eyes when Ash said. "But! If you do battle, it means that you will have to be inside your Pokeball." He informed. Watching the small rabbit tilting her head lightly and then bashfully pulled her fluff over her face, laughing when the boy then said. "Cause I don't want us to be accused of cheating, if the trainers think we are going over the limit."
Lopunny who heard this by having her ears lifting up a bit, pulled away from Lucario with a surprised look. Causing the fighting/steel type Pokemon to yelp out and fall on the ground with a loud thud, groaning lightly and hissed from the pain. The female rabbit who heard Ash saying her sister could battle. While watching her younger sister becoming giddy as a school girl, by hopping around in small circles shouting out yes, yes over and over. Had the older sibling to frown and was about to speak up, saying that Buneary is not ready for Pokemon battling, only to stop in mid-step and blushing lightly when she then heard her sister. Chanting and waving her paws over at her for Ash, asking and saying will she be strong as her sister?! Making the boy to grin and nods. "You bet! If you work hard enough and train, I have no doubt you will be as strong or even stronger than your sister!" Announced the boy. Getting the younger sibling to be even more bashful inf front of him, then laughing in fondness and imagining herself being as strong as her sister.
Which is tugging at Lopunny's heart greatly as she rests a hand onto her right breast, relaxing her body and feeling the need to scold. Immediately leaving her system, but then grunts out in surprise when Lucario sneak behind her, pouncing at her and sending them down onto the grassy fields. Cheering in triumph as she sat on top of the female rabbit, declaring the winner. But squeaks in a moan like fashion, from the girl underneath her stared up at her with oh yeah look to then lifting her legs right up against the jackals thighs, to then flipping them over with the rabbit being on top. Slapping both hands down against the blue female fighting types breasts, making the girl to let out even louder moans.
Gaining attention from Buneary who was speaking to Ash and Meowzy, who almost went back to sleep. By curling up into a ball only to lift her head in their direction, wondering what the commotion was about? To then blushing at the sight of Lopunny playing and messing with Lucario's assets, getting the feline to be stuck in a daze.
Ash though stayed silent and then deadpan at the frisky older sister of Buneary, messing with Lucario. "Okay...well you go and try calming your sister down Buneary, then later tonight we will talk it over about you fighting, okay?" Says the boy with a smile. Watching the younger sibling nodding her head absently while waving goodbye. Closing the device on his wrist and shaking his head. The boy decided to check on his other two playful Pokemon in front of him. Nearly bulging his eyes out and laughing loudly at the sight of Ninetails. At the sight of the happy female fox, carrying and running he way over to the boy, with Pikachu in her arms, his head wedge between her breasts. Looking quite embarrassed about his predicament.
Snickering and snorting through his closed lips, he shook his head while clearing throat silently with a hand near his mouth. Places both hands onto his sides smiling. "Alright, Ninetails much as Pikachu loves to be carried by me? I don't think he appreciates being wedge between your chest like that." He stated. Making the female fox Pokemon to tilt her head cutely and then smiled brightly, not seeming to care as she nuzzle the tip of her snout on Pikachu's head. Having the male Pokemon get pushed up further in her cleavage, whining lightly then he hummed happily from the fox nuzzling on him.
Making Ash who is seeing this give a kind smile. Enjoying the way how friendly the girls are with Pikachu, not giving the electric mouse a hard time or becoming jealous of him. For being out of his ball all the time and staying by Ash's side all this time. The boy saw Ninetails looking at him with a coy smile, wiggling her eyebrows as she nudges down where Pikachu is. Curious if Ash is jealous of the male Pokemon being between her breasts like this and not him? Which he chuckled to himself and looking up into the corner of his eyes, shaking his head and then began vacantly waved his hands forward.
"Come on Ninetails let's get going, we' ve got a lot of ground to cover and seriously need to get to the Pokemon center." He said. Approaching Ninetails and lightly grabs her shoulders, turning the fox away from him and happily pushes her forward. Getting the shy and bashful Pokemon to laugh lightly, then some more when Pikachu. Managed to break free of her hold by struggling and thrashing against her smooth fur boobs with his arms, kicking his feet against her hands and got out with a pop. Climbing over her shoulders and then leaps over at Ash's head. Happily grabbing onto the hat and swings himself around the back of the boy's head.
Ninetails who turn her head over her shoulders, looks at Pikachu eye smiling at him. To then blinking her red eyes when she felt Ash began pushing her forward. Having her heels dragging lightly against the dirt ground, blushing in shyness when he said. "Okay if you two are done playing and Ninetails finished suffocating Pikachu in her chest? Can we now get going, I really don't want you two passing out on me!" He exclaimed. "We've battle over twenty times today you guys, I'll be less worried to know that we reach a center. Got you both healed up and the others from their injuries, before we continue any further." He said. Laughing when Ninetails somehow twisted her head at him. Then licking her on the nose quickly then looking away bashfully. Humming out an apology for the boy, even Pikachu gave couple of whines at him. Saying he is sorry too for holding them up like that and then coo's out from his trainer.
Removing one hand away from Ninetails shoulder to pet him on the head. "I know Pikachu, but I'll feel a lot safer knowing that you, Ninetails and the others are at full strength." Said Ash. Removing his hand from Pikachu's head and place it back on the female fox's back. "Who knows when we will see another Pokemon center? If we do continue our way to Saffron city, so it's best to be safe than sorry right!" He stated. Getting the two Pokemon to nod their heads and cheered happily, while the female fox wagged her tail happily against her trainers stomach and waist.
The trio head forward towards the town up ahead, as they were walking through the open plains without any worries or troubles. Making sure that they will be entering the town, focus all their attention to finding the Pokemon center that the lass from before. Had given them directions to said center, saying how they will be able to find the familiar red tile roof building near the square. Between couple of groceries stores that towers over it, where the fountain can be seen in the middle of the surrounding buildings.
When entering the town Ash and his Pokemon, couldn't help but stare confusingly at what looks to be fliers and posters being place on some of the building walls. Getting the trainer ,who is pushing Ninetails still, try his best to get a good look at the posts that were being posted. But unable to get any good looks of them considering; the people who were posting them on the walls? Were blocking his view while other times, crowd of people will gather in front of the poster making it difficult to see anything. But it didn't bother him to much, figuring it is some sort of even happening in town and right now Ash, whose doing his best looking around the town for the Pokemon center, has no time for any events that's happening around here. He didn't want to spend too much time in place. Like he did with the girls back on the western part of Kanto.
"Ninetails, tails-tails!" Ninetails stuttered. Running ahead of her trainer and then coming to a stop, by swinging her body around at him. She then lifts a paw up with excitement. "Tails!" She cheered happily, telling her trainer and Pikachu that she had found the Pokemon center. Even sounds of what could be water splashing and rushing can be heard from the distance. Which Ash ran on over to where Ninetails is sitting at and stops next too her. Looking over in the direction she pointed at, having him smile widely and began petting her on the head.
"Way to go Ninetails, you found the center good job girl!" He said. Praising her for a good job and ruffled her fur a bit. Getting the fox to giggle and laugh from the treatment, she then followed her trainer straight into the center. Passing by another large crowd of people who were standing in front of the Pokemon center, staring at another poster that's posted on the center's windows. The poster having what appears to be a picture, of a boy and a Ninetails in their battle stance. With the boy's left arm stretched out with his open hand, looking to be giving commands to the fox Pokemon. Looking is jumping ahead of him, ready to strike down the bad guys on the picture. With their own Pokemon leaping towards the fox Pokemon, looking to be a Meowth with it's claws ready to strike the fox down!
What makes the picture odd though? Is that the boy looks eerie resembling that of Ash, to which the boy managed to enter the Pokemon center. Before anyone could connect the dots or those who saw him walking into town, came rushing towards him and surrounding him. Murmuring to one another and then laughing, their voice can be heard with Pikachu's great hearing. Having the Electric mouse who is on top of his trainers head. Looks towards the crowd of people before their voices became muffed, after he, his trainer and Ninetails entered inside the furnished Pokemon center.

"Of course ,we will be delighted to go and heal your Pokemon!" Nurse Joy said. Watching Ash recalling Ninetails into her Pokeball, he then went and grabs the rest of his parties Pokeball. With Pikachu happily hopping down onto the tray with a smile. "Now, if you like can read the brochure to get a better understanding of our town. Then maybe, can send some of them to your friends and tell them about the place." Giggled the Nurse. Having him to tilt his head lightly on the right. Wondering why it is she is behaving as some advertiser? Getting the Nurse Joy to smile, she lifts the tray up saying. "Don't worry, much I don't want to push trainers into reading the brochure? Our mayor of the town wants to be sure everyone who visits. Can invite those who are interested on sightseeing, to come too our town and visit the TV studios up on the Hillside Peaks." Joy then bows lightly and heads towards the back of the main lobby.
"Huh..." Ash hummed. He shrugged his shoulders with both eyes closing, figuring it won't be such a bad idea. He can read while waiting for the girls and Pikachu get treated from their injuries. Looking over to his right and spotting the small rack, grabs one of the papers and turns his back against the counter. He then opens it up and starts reading what was inside or...at least skim through most of what's written on it. "Oh, didn't know the TV network here makes most of the shows mom watches? That's interesting..." He said. Continuing to read what else there is about the town. Noticing most if not, everything is revolving or surrounding the TV station on Hillside Peaks. "Nurse Joy wasn't kidding! The mayor here definitely wants to focus all attention, to the TV Station here. I wonder why that is?" He told himself openly, squinting his eyes to read most of the smaller text that were written.
"I think it has to do with the fact of the most hit children show, "Nine-tailed Hero and Ninetails' are made and aired here in the town Ash." A young male voice said. Having Ash to blink his eyes vacantly, to then moving his head away from the brochure and nearly broke out in excitement of who it is that spoke! "Hi there! Seems like you're doing well Ash." Robert said with a very big smile on his face. Two finger saluting towards the boy and then claps hands with him, greeting one another by shaking hands. "So, what you've been up to lately Ash? I hope everything is going well for you and your Pokemon." Robert asked.
Laughing lightly when the boy gave a big grin while nodding. "You bet! We went through a lot since our last visit Robert. Can't wait to tell you and show you how everyone is doing!" He said with excitement. Watching the older boy laughing lightly as he can tell just by look at him. He then blinked his eyes when the young trainer, began looking around the lobby. "Hey where's Leaf? You're usually around one another or traveling with each other?" He asked. Curious why it is Robert isn't with the girl?
The older teen rubs the back of his head waving off any worries. "Not to worry, she's fine Ash. I just recently called her not so long ago. With her saying she just got off from the S.S Anne, after getting a free ticket for the cruise." He said. He then shrugged his shoulders, suddenly having a worried look on his face. "Of course though Leaf didn't tell me what had happened. After she got on the boat?" Robert then paused his sentence a bit, to adjust his weight and places a hand onto his sleek long-sleeve pants. "The girl seemed pretty shaky in her tone of voice. Making me even more concerned of what happened; after she got off the cruise." He said. He then chuckled sheepishly when Ash nodded, but then crosses his arms with a knowing look.
"I see...and the other reason why you didn't go with her. Is because you don't like boats right?" Ash said. Laughing lightly when a blushed appeared on the older teens face, who looked away sheepishly while nodding. He waved his hand in a not to worry manner to the older trainer. "It's alright Robert, I understand. But it does make me curious of what happened to Leaf?" He stated.
"Well, don't worry too much about it. Leaf seems to be alright and has informed me, she will be meeting me at the entrance of Saffron city." Robert said. Getting the younger trainer to look up at him quickly. Widening his eyes in shock. "I take it you are heading over there?" He asks with amusement. Watching the young trainer nodding his head and then laughs with him. "Well then! I have no objections of traveling there with you, though need to ask." He paused while then turning his body sides-way. Pointing towards the cafeteria. "You hungry Ash? Cause I know I am and in the mood for some fast food or good eating!" He said. Getting some chuckles from the boy who nods in response, then follows the older trainer towards the cafeteria of the Pokemon Center. "Good! We can share stories of what we've been doing so far."
"Heh, sounds good to me I want to know how your journey coming along. As well there being so much I need to tell you! That I don't know if we will have all the time in the world, to discuss what's been happening!" Ash said. Excitement and enjoyment behind his voice, he then chuckled when he felt Robert wrapping an arm over his shoulder. To then rubbing his hand into his hat cover hair, letting him know he will enjoy that as they've enter the cafeteria.
After couple minutes of ordering their meals and getting drinks. The two trainers went ahead to find a table to sit at, only for Ash having to head back to the lobby. After being called and told through a speaker phone; of his Pokemon are fully rested and ready to be pick up. After doing so, he returns back to Robert and saw he was waiting for him to return. Laughing happily when Pikahcu, hopped off from his shoulders and on the table. Saying hello to the teen and cooed when he petted his head. "You look great Pikachu. Looks like Ash has taken good care of you." He said. Then pats the electric mouse cheeks for a bit, rubbing the cheek sacks. Getting the male Pokemon to purr happily and giving off light sparks. "Yup! Very healthy and looks like you gained a lot of experience, since I last saw ya." He stated. Watching the electric mouse nodding and then cooed happily when the teen. Gave him couple pieces of fries with some ketchup. The male Pokemon then happily walks his way over to his trainer, sitting down next to him and happily began eating the fries. Blushing and cooed out in glee from the tasty treat!
"So Ash, how many battles have you've done lately? Pikachu here looks quite strong, especially if you challenged a lot of trainers and Pokemon." Robert asked. Watching the boy in front of him kind of stuffing and shoving food down his gullet, making him look like a pig almost. Having the teen pondered of how long he went without any food? Recalling...that the young trainer in front of him is quite the good cook? "Err...Ash?" He spoke up. Watching him stop in mid-bite and staring up at him with a curious gaze. "Did you hear what I said?" He asks crossing his arms in a bit irritably. Robert isn't one to be ignore or having people not hearing him, when he speaks directly at him. But, still smiled when Ash nodded his head and swallowed some of the food he stuffed himself with.
"Yeah, I heard ya." Ash said. Swallowing and pounding his chest so the food will go down. "For how many battles I have challenged so far?" He then looks up in thought humming lightly. Not noticing Pikachu, sliding across the table for a bit and grabs the nearby ketchup bottle. Prying the cap off from it in hopes to continued eating the sweet, tasty topping that Robert smeared on his fries. "Ever since leaving Mount Gathering; I had challenge about twenty different trainers, done some training with couple of the girls and Pikachu of course." He stated. While smiling over at the electric mouse with an eye smile, he then faces back at Robert. "Switched my team around so everyone can get the needed battles. After that...?" He then paused his sentence. Trying to recall what he's done after doing those and switching the girls around.
Having the teen in front of him to wait patiently for him to continue. All the while eating and enjoying his food, taking quick glances at Pikachu once in awhile. Whenever the male Pokemon struggled to get the cap off, nearly fell backwards and had the cap flying. Thankfully gets caught by Robert, shooting his arm out and grabbing it in midair! Before it could go and hurt anyone in the cafeteria. He smiled at the male Pokemon who had lower his ears. Sheepishly smiling at the boy in a apologetic expression, but cooed softly when he felt the teen. Rubbing his head and being told to be careful next time, wanting him to ask for help next time.
"That's good to hear Ash, I'm glad you're using the other girls for Pokemon battles." Robert said. Smiling up at the trainer with a soft smile. "Has Blaziken beginning too listen or obeying your commands?" He asks. Lifting a hand up. "I understand that it can be difficult, but if you don't let Blaziken get in her own battles? She might start falling behind the others. And trust me, you don' want any Pokemon to fall behind from the others." He stated. He then leans back on the seat, watching the boy in front of him closely. Watching the way he is humming and rubbing his chin softly, his eyes looking up towards the ceiling as he chuckled.
"Well, to the first question...yes! Blaziken has in fact began to listening to me." Ash said. Though felt a sweat drop as he suddenly recalled. "Of course, she still does burn me and use flamethrower on me couple of times. But, I think am getting through to her. Especially after the whole festival back at mount gathering happened and all." He said. Leaning forward on the table and having Robert doing the same, he lifts up one hand to the side of his mouth as if want to whisper something to the older teen.
This had Robert shooting back from the table, widening his eyes at what just got whispered in Robert's ears. "Whoa, wait?! You..." The teen paused his sentence for a bit. Shifting his gaze upward for a quick second and then back to Ash. "You've met the Mother and Son spirits during the festival!? H-how, when...I." He stuttered out. Feeling quite flushed from what the young trainer in front of him just told him. Getting the young trainer in front of him to chuckle out at Robert's flustered state. "Man Ash, you have to be one of the luckiest people out there!" He exclaimed. Finishing up his food and sipping the rest of his drink. "I have heard rumors about the festival. I never thought that you, will be running into the two of them together!" He said.
"Yeah, same here I didn't think we would meet them too. Blaziken." Ash began saying. While tapping her Pokeball. "Actually went and find the child spirit, whatever the boy was telling Blaziken? Gotten her to loosen up a bit and having her, begin trusting in humans..." He paused for a bit. Then chuckles lightly as both he and Robert, began getting up from their seats and taking care of their trays. "Well me at least, not sure if it will be enough for Blaziken. To trust every human out there or Pokemon trainers?" He states. As the two of them reach the trash bin, throwing away their food. To then making their way out of the Pokemon center with Pikachu, following right behind them holding a ketchup bottle in his hands.
Robert who looked at him with a curious gaze. Heard how he said Blaziken might allow only Ash, to gain her trust. But if what he says is true about Blaziken? Not trusting any humans or trainers...then how come she allowed a young child to hang around with her or...going out of her way to find the lost child? "Who knows how about once we get out? You let Blaziken out of the Pokeball, as well Ninetails. This way." He then got interrupted from Ash taking few steps forward and stood in front of him.
"Whoa, whoa Robert, I don't think that is such a good idea!" Ash said. Waving his hands in order to stop the teen from heading out further. Making Pikachu on his shoulders, to look at him in a curious fashion of why not? Only then remembering about Blaziken using flamethrower whenever she comes out. He probably didn't want Robert to get burnt or hurt from the fire type Pokemon?
"Much I want Blaziken to get used to me, I don't want you getting hurt. Especially with your health and all. Don't think your mother." He then got interrupted when Robert. Glares at him and lightly tapping a finger against his chest. Pushing him forward a bit, having a scowl on his face.
"Look Ash, I appreciate that you don't treat me as if I can't handle it. I have been traveling with Pokemon, battling with Pokemon and doing things that I! Would never usually do and never once let my poor health get in the way of it!" Robert said. He then stood upright, crossing his arms and stared at the surprise trainer in front of him. Who gently rubs against his own chest. "Believe me, I can handle whatever Blaziken might do to me...besides." He said. The older teen then smirks confidently at the young trainer as he then says. "There is a reason why I want you to send out Ninetails as well." He explained. He moves an arm out with a open palm.
"I think Ninetails has the ability Flash Fire, a ability that allows Fire types. To absorb any fire type moves to heal them, or powering up their abilities. Whenever a Pokemon uses the same typing as them, so please." He explained. The teen then nudge his head while moving the same forward, in the fashion of go ahead and send them out. "Don't think I won't be able to handle it Ash. I get that enough with Leaf, whenever we are together and right now. It is starting to grind my gears, for how overly protective she is."
Ash nodded lightly as he didn't know this upsets Robert? When people try and prevent him from doing something he wanted to try. Hell! He didn't know Leaf still treats him as if his poor health. Will get in the way and having him feel exhausted from over-exerting his body to much. But what came most surprising is that he did not know, Ninetails had such ability to absorbing fire type moves and powering herself up? The boy smiled and nods "yeah, your right Robert! Just because you don't have the best of health. Doesn't mean I should treat you as if, it will get in the way of your abilities. Sorry, it's just...I didn't." The young trainer tried to explain. But was stopped from Robert nodding in understanding, he was only looking out for him. Hell...everyone is looking out for him, bad enough most if not people back in Pallet Town.
