Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon, so if any morons out there sue me, they are wasting their time. Ages (see part 1) Part 3: A New Rival CRASH! Ash climbed out of the garbage can. "Man, I'm sick of crashing into the garbage cans every time we fall for their pranks…" he muttered. "It seems like they are winning the war," Gary said sadly. "Don't worry, we will win eventually…I hope," Ash said enthusiastically. The boys only nodded glumly. ***** "Did you see the way they crashed into those trash cans?" Laselle said, imitating the way the boys slid right in. "Yeah, and the best part is, ever since the war started, they've always ended up there!" Duplica exclaimed. The girls laughed. "We have many more pranks up our sleeves," Misty said evilly. ****** "All right children, I have an announcement," the principal said over the intercom. "Next week, the whole 10th grade will be going camping with a couple of volunteer teachers. Since there will not be enough teachers, all the other grade levels will have no school for the week. Your teachers should be passing the permission slips out right now. Please turn them in to the office inbox. That is all." Ash and Richie crashed their knuckles against each other. "No school, only camping for the whole week! I can't wait until I can hook up with some of those girls!" Brock said with a stupid grin on his face. Ash, Gary, and Richie all fell down anime style. ****** Rudy Fruity (A/N: I hate Rudy, so I tried to make him sound as silly as possible!) was hiding in the shadows of the hall, spying on a certain red-head and her friends. "You'll be mine, and I always get what I want." ****** "Hey!" Misty and her friends turned around to see Rudy, the most popular boy in the 12th grade. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Rudy said, looking directly at Misty. "Sure, whatever," Misty replied and walked off with the senior to his locker, which was in a secluded corridor. "So, what do you want?" Misty asked. "I want you." "Excuse me?" Misty knew that Rudy was trying to hit on her, and she was quite flattered, but she knew that she could never have any kind of 'close' relationship with him, since she was crushing on Ash. Rudy moved closer to her and put his hand on her butt. Immediately Misty tensed up and took out her mallet. Rudy stopped her hand. "Oh no you don't." ****** Ash and his friends were walking down the hallway when they heard some voices. "Let go of me!" "Not until you kiss me." "Get away from me, sicko!" Ash and his friends ran to the corridor in which they heard the voices coming from. There, in front of them, was a very strange scene. Rudy's arms were on Misty's butt, pulling her face closer to his, while Misty was struggling to get out of his hold. "Let go of her!" Ash shouted. Both of them looked to the speaker. "Can't you see that she doesn't want to kiss you?" "Shut up, this is none of your business," Rudy replied. "Ash, help me!" cried Misty. Suddenly, Misty's friends came up. "Oh my gosh…" started Melody. "Rudy, if you don't let go of her, I'm sure my friends and Misty's friends will beat you up until you can't feel a thing," Ash threatened. His friends and the girls all nodded. Rudy sneered. "Fine, you can have her, for now," Rudy hissed, pushing Misty into Duplica. "I'll be back." Rudy ran threw the crowd of teenagers, kicking Ash in the shin before he left. "Owowowowowowowowow," Ash said, jumping up and down on one foot. Misty quickly came up and kissed Ash on the cheek. "Thanks for saving me," she said quietly, blushing furiously. Ash was turned as red as a tomato. "No problem," he replied shakily. Gary extended his hand to Duplica. "Truce until the camping trip, ok?" he asked. The boys nodded approvingly. Duplica looked at the rest of the girls. They also nodded. "Truce," they confirmed. ****** Done! Please review! Part 4 coming up soon! Sorry for the short chapter, but I sort of have a writers block, lol!
