Chapter 5
“No! Zigzagoon!” The little raccoon was teetering backwards, trembling from the Pidgey’s Gust attack. Ash grimaced as he checked his pokédex, groaning when he saw she was almost out of HP. He released Marill, and ordered a Water Gun attack.
The Pidgey was blasted into the sky and did not return to earth.
“This could
take a while, couldn’t it?” Ash asked as he dug an
She munched up the berry, looking better instantly. Ash sighed.
Sure, he knew that pokemon training would not be easy, but maybe he was working too hard?
Still, it had been several hours and he hadn’t managed to snare any other pokemon yet…though Zigzagoon was leveling up, slowly but surely.
He sighed.
Elsewhere….
“Well, what do you think?”
“What do I think?” Lance asked, taking another sip of his tea.
“Thankfully not.” Lance inclined his head. “Perhaps some parts of his skill and memory remain.”
“Well, that’s fortunate.” The Cosmos Champion poured herself another cup of coffee, added six heaping teaspoons of sugar. “It does make the incidents less.”
“Hopefully.” Lance said dryly.
Zigzagoon nudged him, and Ash blinked at the Nugget she was holding. “Oh! Thank you, Zigzagoon.”
With this, he would be able to buy a few more potions and poke balls.
There seemed to be no other trainers around, which was lucky, because Ash was afraid that more Team Rocket team members would come along.
He didn’t want to lose Zigzagoon or Marill! And he would rescue Skitty! He would! Somehow, he would find her again!
“Excuse me?”
Ash almost jumped, before he turned to look at the speaker. It was a boy with green hair. He swallowed.
“Y-Yes?”
“Um, I was wondering…” The boy hesitated. “Because you have pokemon…”
Ash felt Marill edge up against him, and Zigzagoon scampered back to hide behind him. “Yes?”
“Could you
help me catch a pokemon?”
“Me?” Ash blinked. “Oh no, I’m
not…” He just wanted to get away – Zigzagoon had only been battling for two
days after her week of rest, and Marill looked tired.
The other
boy deflated. “Aw man. Guess I’ll go ask
Ash could
have cried in relief.
He hugged Zigzagoon tightly, and then they went back to training. Finally, before the sun went down, he managed to catch a Wingull that was stunned from Zigzagoon’s Headbutt attack.
Wingull was a flying-type, though it knew Water Gun too, as it had proven. Ash peeled off his soaked clothing, grinning like a maniac. He was bending over to untie his shoes when someone pinched his butt.
Ash screamed like a little girl, spinning around. He recognized Lance and breathed a sigh of relief.
“You know, people don’t generally wander around naked in the woods unless they’re offering something.” Lance said dryly.
“Huh?” That was the most intelligent remark Ash could make. Lance sighed.
“Look, Ash, I know that the area can be pretty deserted but do you really want to run into someone from Team Aqua or Magma while defenseless?”
“Oh!” That set the light bulb flashing above his head. Ash finally seemed to notice his extensive nudity and scrambled for some dry clothes while Lance watched in amusement.
“Not that I don’t like what I’m seeing…” He purred. Really, the boy was too innocent, almost deliciously so, if he were into that sort of thing.
“You pinched my butt!” Ash yelled. It was the first thing that came to mind once he was properly dressed.
“Would you prefer it if I had done something else?” Lance teased.
“Like what?”
“Like, oh say, this.” Lance said, as he bent down and captured Ash’s lips in a kiss. Ash spluttered, pulling away from him with a flabbergasted expression.
“But we’re both boys!”
“So?” Lance asked.
“We-We can’t do this!”
“Sure we can.” Lance purred. “Aren’t you curious?”
Well, he was, but that didn’t mean… Lance was… he didn’t know him that well… but… he was nice enough…
Lance looked rather bemused as Ash panicked like a headless duck, seemingly waging an internal war with himself. Zigzagoon waddled over and settled on his lap, and Lance idly stroked her soft fur, while his eyes glowed faintly blue, activating Viridian’s power.
She was a good pokemon, with a strong core of strength. Ash would do well with her. Ah. And she had prior experiences with Team Rocket, bad ones…
She would help him on his quest.
Marill was a pet pokemon. He was definitely more obedient, and knew more human language than wild pokemon, but he was not very strong. It mattered little. Pet pokemon were weaker than wild or pokemon bred for battling.
Ash had another pokemon, a Wingull he had just caught. Interesting.
“I…I’m not sure we should, just yet.” Ash said, as he colored.
“All right.” Lance demurred. “Another time.” He kissed the Pallet Trainer again, watching him turn red. “So, mind if I stay the night?”
Ash gulped, and nodded, as Lance began setting up his tent.
What had he gotten himself into?

Poor Ash! I bet Lance will seduce him pretty soon… though Ash might wind up cuddling Lance instead. *Waggles eyebrows*
