Nightmare Syndrome
By: Chibi-Suiko
A/N: I'm sad to say that I didn't get many reviews for the last chapter, so I've decided to post this one in order to regain the light, if you know what I mean... Also, I know that I haven't posted in a while but thats what happens when grown up's rule the world...
______________________________________________________________________________
Last time Ash fell asleep next to Misty and strange occurrences took place. Reliving the younger years full of memories where Misty showed some care towards him knocked him for a loop and Ash finally experienced what it meant to be in love...

Chapter 5: New Appearances
Ash: I can't wait until you wake up so that I can tell you that I care for you too...
Brock and Pikachu entered the room only to leave it again under the impression that Ash might just want to be alone. Upon exiting they high-fived each other.
Brock: Knew it!
Pikachu: Pi Pi kachu, pi pi ka! (Of course you did, I told you!)
Brock: Oh, yeah right! I knew all along!
The two of them were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn't notice a nurse with long red hair stumbling down the hall until it was too late. Brock crashed into her then fell to the ground in a heap, the woman toppling over him. Brock shoved himself up and held out his hand for her which she gladly took and yanked herself from the ground. That might have been out of anger.
She had a very upset look on her face that seemed to change when she saw whom it was that had run into her. Brock, seeing her smile (And returning it for an entirely different reason) jumped into his normal girl-crazy mode.
Brock (Stuttering): He-hello young lady! I've never seen some one as gross-I mean good-good looking as you! Are you possibly related to-to the Nurse Joy of the city?! You know, it's Friday! Maybe we could go and get some sushi-or pizza! I love pizza!
Nurse: Um-well...
She looked beside him and saw Pikachu by his feet. Anyone (Besides Brock anyway) would have seen a glimmer of mischief in her eyes.
Nurse: Of course, I would love to... But well... I'm still on duty and I was on my way to a- Ms. Waterflower and Mr. Ketchum! They never did get anything to eat. I just can't seem to find the room. The chart's missing it would be so much easier to find someone who knew who they were... If only...
She was almost looking at him like she knew he knew but that couldn't be, could it?
Brock: Well, what a coincidence! I do know them. They’re my friends and I would be happy to take you to them!
Nurse: Oh, would you?! Thank you, you've saved me so much trouble!
They started walking together down the hall.
Brock: By the way, what's your name?
Nurse: My-my name?! Uh, well, I do have a name! It's-uh-Jasmine! Yeah, Jasmine, that's it!
Brock: Jasmine? That's a very nice name, but it pales in comparison to the beauty of your violet red hair, or your skin... Or your sparkling sapphire eyes...
And with that, Brock became lost in his own little world. That is, until he ran into the base of the door and "Jasmine" had to help him up. They entered the room and saw Ash glance their way before turning back to Misty and stroking her red-orange hair.
Jasmine (Thinking): Oh, this is bad...
Brock: Ash, this is Jasmine. She's a nurse who came to... to.... (Turns to her) Hey, what did you come here for, anyway?
Jasmine: Oh, uh, I just came to see... If--you were hungry! That's right!
Everyone sweatdropped or face faulted. Jasmine had her eyes closed in a smiling way, as though she were happy with her answer and refused to notice.
Ash recovered and turned to her.
Ash: Now that you mention it, I haven't eaten in quite a while. Sure, I'd love something to put away...
Jasmine (Smiling in confusion w/sweatdrop): To put away..? ............. Uh, anyway, what do you want?
Ash (Looks like he is thinking extremely hard): Hmmm, I'll have three cookies, seven slices of pizza, three cheeseburgers, ten bags of chips or fries (Or both...), six ice cream sandwiches, twelve cans of soda...
Jessie- **Coughs** I mean, "Jasmine" wiped her brow and started to pull out a notepad, making a list...
**Twenty minutes later**
Jasmine sighed. Being a Team Rocket flunky, this was really going to clean her out!
Jasmine (Asking in a mock-sweet voice): Is that all, Sir?
Ash: Yeah, I guess so. I'll call you if I need anything else.
The nurse gulped and growled inwardly. The thing was, she wasn't a nurse. She wasn't registered in this hospital so if he tried to locate her, there would be a major problem. Of course she growled because of his ill-respected personality.
To keep his mind off of his stomach, Ash turned to her again.
Ash: Excuse me?
Jasmine: Change your mind?
Ash (Shaking his head): No, I just wanted to know if you could find Dr. Yomaki for me?
Jasmine (Not knowing who the heck Dr. Yomaki is...) Sorry-uh-He's off shift at the moment... However (Saying with an all-too-evil smile), I do know another one. Shall I get him?
Ash: Sure, that would help. Thanks.
Jasmine turned to leave again, only to be called back once more.
Jasmine: Yes?
Ash: I forgot. I'd like some Peanut Butter Fudge, if it wouldn't be too much trouble...
(A/N: My, taking advantage of this, isn't he?)
Jasmine (Laughing cheaply): Oh, not at all! (Thinking) If that's all anyway...
Ash: ... And...
Jasmine (Finally snapping): WHAT?! WHAT ELSE COULD YOU POSSIBLY NEED?! DO I LOOK LIKE A MONEY MACHINE?! YOU KNOW THAT THE HOSPITAL ONLY HAS SO MUCH CASH IN ITS FUNDING LINE, OKAY?!
Ash: ... I only wanted to know where the bathroom was.
Jasmine: Down the hall, take a left, yours is by the Janitors closet. Ok?
Ash (Stepping around her cautiously): Ok, Ms. Uh-Jasmine...
He left the room, leaving only Brock, Pikachu, and Nurse Jasmine.
Jasmine: Well, I should be going...
And before Brock could object, she was gone.
**In the record room**
Jessie: James? Meowth?! Where the heck did you go?!
Voice (Whispering): Right here, Jess--
Jessie: Change of plans. I'm Jasmine now.
James and Meowth appeared from behind the 'B-D' filing cabinet.
James: Alright, Jasmine Now. Can I be Jamie Then?
Jessie: Not 'Jasmine Now'! Just Jasmine! No, you cannot be 'Jamie Then'!
The two guys looked at each other before Meowth asked a more appropriate question.
Meowth: Hey, Jess-Jasmine? Why the sudden name change? Ya startin' to see the light that 'Jessie' is too common?
Jessie pulled out her overly large mallet and smashed Meowth clear across the head, sending him through the room into the 'W-Z' filing cabinet.
Jessie: You probably won't believe this but the twerps are here...
James (Franticly): Why such a curse follow us everywhere?!
Jessie: Yeah, yeah... I know. I still have to get these split ends taken care of from that electric rat's last attack...
They both looked to Meowth, wondering what his opinion would be. Slightly shocked, they noticed that he was crossing his paws and nodding.
Meowth: To tell ya's the truth, I don't see what's so surprisin'. I mean, don't they turn up everywheres' we go?
James (With a confused but intelligent expression on his face): You know, he's got a very valid point. I kinda understand where he's coming from... By the way (Turns to Meowth), where are you coming from?
Meowth blew a gasket and scratched James across his face. Jessie went towards the filing cabinet that had flown open when Meowth's head was rammed into it.
Jessie: Hey guys, look at this...
The two followed her and looked over her shoulder.
All: 'Patient: Miss Misty Waterflower. Placed in intensive Care unit for observation from unknown Gas Pokemon combo technique. Lasts analysis: Unknown condition, coma-like state... No further information.'
They looked at each other.
Jessie: Man, even the twerps don't deserve this... I wonder what kind of attacks were used on her..?
James: Here, Jess-sorry-Jasmine. (Points to file report) Looks like the ' Hypnosis' and
' Nightmare'... Not much else is said, besides her vitals.
Jessie: Well, I gotta go get the twerps food. If I'm too long he'll get suspicious. Looking at the situation, I feel for him... Well, hope you guys aren't that hungry. The twerp cleaned us out...
James/Meowth: WHAT?!
Jessie: Anyway, I'll meet you in the twerps’ room, the number is 219. Try and act normal for once, okay James? And make up a new name.
She left the file room, heading right to the Cafeteria. James and Meowth watched her for a moment before heading to the room holding the 'Twerps'.
Ten minutes later, Jessie walked in holding three trays, one in each of her arms and one on her head. Arbok was carrying one in his mouth and one at the end of his tail and Lickitung was holding one in his mouth (Jessie had to hit him every three minutes to prevent him from eating it himself) and one in each of his arms.
Jasmine: Alright, you guys, I'm back...
She halted when she saw Ash and Brock jump up offendingly, James and Meowth were backed into a corner, and a tall man in an official doctor’s uniform was standing next to Misty. She read his badge... Dr. Yomaki. That hurt.
She flinched as the men (Besides James and Meowth), advanced on her and blocked the door.
Brock (Serious tone): Alright, your little escapade is over, Jessie. These two seem to have a knack for blowing your plans halfway through.
Jessie (Grumbling): Yeah, I've noticed...
James/Meowth: Hey!
Dr. Yomaki: Maybe I should call Security. You three are probably going to have to explain to them why you've been impersonating hospital faculty.
Team Rocket: WAIT! WAIT! WE CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY WE DID THIS!!!
Ash and the others glanced at each other before turning back with set expressions on their faces. They pushed Jessie into the same corner as the other two and shut the door. Dr. Yomaki stood in front of it, blocking their way from freedom.
Ash: Alright guys, this is your one chance. Try anything and your next stop will be the room next to ours. Then the city jail cell... Also--
He stepped in front of Jessie and for a moment it looked like he would hit her. Then he smiled and pulled the trays from her, Arbok, and Lickitung.
Ash: I'll take these out of your hands--
Everyone face-faulted.
Ash: Just because the plot is turning over doesn't mean I'm not hungry anymore!
Team Rocket dabbed napkins on their foreheads.
Team Rocket: Eh, heh... Heh, heh...
