Chapter 6 Manipulation

Pokemon researchers often say that creativity is the most important form of
intelligence. Clearly Pikachu could resist her charm, but before May
interfered he didn’t want to. So Ivey formulated another elaborate scheme to
use this to her advantage.

Since she was still very close to Ash she convinced him to lend her his
Knoct-owl (the one he caught in his Johto days). She claimed that she
wanted to do an experiment with its hypnotic powers. Which was actually
true.

That night May came to Ivey’s lab. The girl was no naïve that all Ivey had
to do was ask her to help with an experiment. She cheerfully entered.
May’s eyes were full of innocence, like she had never been betrayed in her
life.

Ivey told May she just wanted to see how deep a hypnotic state knoct-owl
could put her into. Soon May was in a deep trance and Ivey began her work.

Ivey: “What is your name?”

May: “May”

Ivey: “Who is your favourite person?”

May: “Ash”
Ivey: “Does Ash like you?”

May: “?”

Ivey: “Does Ash like you?”

May: “I don’t know.”

Ivey: “When did you start to like Ash.”

May: “The Day I met him. When I saw him sitting at his sick
Pikachus bedside.”

Ivey liked this answer. If she liked Ash before hearing jigglypuffs song then
Ivey could continue to delude herself into thinking the song didn’t effect her.

Ivey: “How do you feel about Ivey?”

May: “She’s smart and pretty.”

The scientist was startled at this answer. She thought May would secretly
dislike her. They were rivals after all. Still it was one less thing to change
about the girls thinking.

Ivey: “Do you want to be friends with Ivey?”

May: “Yes”

Ivey: “Why?”

May: “Ash likes Ivey.”

Ivey: “Do you like the other girls?”

May: “No. I try to, but no.”



Ivey: Ivey wondered, “Why not?”

May: “Ash likes to be with them but he doesn’t love them. I think
(pause) he loves Ivey. They want to make themselves happy,
not Ash.”

This answer shocked Ivey.

Ivey: “Is Ash happy with you?”

May: “?”

Ivey: “Are you with Ash to make yourself happy?”

May: “Sometimes.”

May was crying now.

Ivey: “Do you like yourself?”

May: “No.”

Now both her and Ivey were in tears. Ivey had been prepared to alter her
mind. She wanted to rip away these pure feelings that defined her. Worse
she had won Ash through trickery while this girl had bared her heart and
soul to him. Ivey collapsed in tears of shame.

At that instant, May smiled a devilish grin and rose above the whimpering
woman. She thought to herself, could Ivey’s plan have been anymore
obvious. Apparently Ash hadn’t told Ivey that he had let May use Knoct-
owl in some of her pokemon contests. The birds unique size and feather
coloration had won her first place every time. More importantly, she and the
bird were close friends and Knoct-owl had never really hypnotised her. It
was all a ruse, and much of what she said had been a lie.

As soon as Ivey lifted her head, from her crying, the sight of Knoct-owls
true hypnotic eyes greeted her.

May: “Now dear, first I want to know your secrets, then were going
to make some changes. WHA HAHAHAAH”

The next morning May sat down for breakfast and admired her new seashell
necklace. Pikachu cuddled up to her with affection usually reserved for
Ivey. Thanks to some memory manipulation Ivey no longer remembered the
devices special powers or any other trick she had used. She thought it was
just a tacky trinket, and was eager to give it away since her friend liked it.

May had allowed Ivey to continue loving Ash. In fact she couldn’t remove
or alter those emotions. To her surprise Jigglypuff was more powerful than
Knoct-owl. May did however find other ways. First she stripped Ivey of her
capacity for deceit. Next Ivey lost all knowledge, gestures, and mannerisms
she gained in a lifetime of dealing with the opposite sex. May was certain
she would no longer have the sex appeal of a more mature woman, since her
level of romantic experience was down to zero.

Just then Ash and Ivey walked in. To Mays disbelief they were holding
hands and making groggily eyes at one another.

Apparently Ash had always seen Ivey as cynical and a bit jaded towards
men. In the past she came off as stuck up and arrogant. All of a sudden she
was like a schoolgirl on her first crush. She was trusting, naïve, sweet,
humble, easily excited, her voice had more expression and she blushed at the
smallest things. She also wore less makeup, and opted for clothes that were
cute rather than revealing. Ash was concerned by her change in behaviour,
but still he found this all adorable, and after the last couple of days he was
used to sudden personality changes.

Ivey smiled at May. It was the cheerful smile of a friend rather than a rival.
She seemed genuinely happy to see May wearing the necklace she had given
her. May smiled back though inside she fumed with rage. How dare she
adopt the sweet and innocent act. That was May’s act. May would show
her, she would be the most sweet and innocent thing in the history of sweet
and innocent.
