Chapter 13: The Storm Begins…

*****

Ash and Misty made plans to eat dinner with Brock and Joy after work. Psyduck evolved into Golduck and Brock was thoroughly surprised. After a short talk with their friends they went back to work while Brock and Joy went to unpack and settle in to their new house. Ash went upstairs to finish reading the report and finish the new paperwork while Misty went back to the pool to release the newly healed Gabby.

Misty turned around and gasped. She wasn't expecting to see the person behind her so soon. *What am I going to do? Ash is up stairs…wait why am I worried I should be angry at…* A look of worry crossed her face before being replaced by one of anger.

The person in front of her smirked, “Speaking of Ash, where is he? I was hoping to run in to him not you.” The last word was said with disapproval.

Misty scowled and ignored the snotty tone the other person was using “Why are you here May? Is there some thing we can help you with? I am of equal status in this gym so if you have any official business I can help you.” She gritted out the last part.

“Well I wouldn't want to bother you. You seem so busy. I'll just go find Ash on my own after all it's only a matter of time before he starts looking for me.”

She sounded so sure of herself that Misty was tempted to sick Gabby on her. As it was the minute she started to tense Gabby was looming in the background preparing to attack “Her”.

Misty calmed down for the sake of her pokemon she didn't want them getting in trouble for fighting with May. It just wasn't worth it they were all picking up on her aggression…well all except one. He was happily dancing around his master sending up little water spouts and letting saying, “Toda!” as he danced. Un…err…fortunately he splashed May.

“Get that thing away from me!” The calm and calculating May lost her cool when her designer dress got a little wet.

“Why? He isn't doing any harm. He's just happy to be out and wants to dance around.” Misty had to suppress her laughter. It was getting harder by the second as Totodile continued his dance getting everything wet.

“I didn't like it when Professor Elm sent him to Grandpa and I don't like it now. Get that thing away from me.” She tried running away but Totodile thought it was a game and started chasing her around the gym. “AHHHH!”

*Oh forget it! It's just too hard.* She gave in and laughed at the whole thing. The only thing that stopped her was the sound of May insulting her pokemon. *That's the last straw!* “He isn't a “thing” and he isn't dumb. If anything you're the dumb one. Totodile come here.”

“Toda!” Totodile stopped and danced towards his master.

“Whatever just keep it away from me.” May composed herself as she attempted to continue her verbal battle.

The one thing Totodile's little game did was alert Ash to her presence. Running feet and “Chika!” were heard before the little grass type came into view Ash behind her.

Chikorita was very protective of Ash and Misty and anything it viewed as a threat was going to get it. At the moment she didn't like the looks of the “other” person in the gym. She looked familiar. *Wait a moment…isn't that the…the Loud one! The one that screamed at her when she tried to be friendly, this one was not to be trusted.* Chikorita jumped in front of Misty.

“What's going on here?” Ash was a bit slower than Chikorita he appeared behind May with Pikachu on his head.

“Why, Ash-honey? Nothing is going on here. I was just having a friendly conversation with Misty when that thing attacked me.” May drawled and pointed an accusing finger at Totodile while trying to cling to Ash.

“Attacked you?” Ash looked at May then Totodile who was still dancing around happily while Chikorita looked at him with a confused expression across its face. She was a little wet but other than that seemed fine.

“YOU LIER! Totodile didn't attack you. He just sprinkled a little water on you while he danced around.” Misty was furious. Chikorita looked up at her and Totodile stopped dancing to observe the exchange. Gabby let out an agreeing “GYA!” as it loomed over everyone behind Misty.

“Misty, calm down.” Ash tried to go to her but May was trying to attach herself to his arm. “Will you let go! Besides I highly doubt that Totodile attacked you. If he did you would be drenched and bashed up.”

“Why don't you believe me?” She continued to cling to him.

Ash sighed and closed his eyes in frustration, *If she doesn't let go soon I'm going to…argh!* “I asked you nicely to let go of my arm. If you don't let go of me soon I'll…” He tensed and gritted out the promise.

May reluctantly let go of him after noticing the hostile stares she was receiving from all the pokemon. Including that little yellow mouse that shocked her the last time.

“Thank You!” Ash walked towards Chikorita and attempted to calm her down. After some reassuring words the little leaf pokemon calmed down considerably. That done he stood up and turned back to May. “What are you doing here?” He asked gruffly.

“Why I came here to see you. Well and deliver this.” She handed over a pokeball.

Ash took it from her “Well I don't appreciate you upsetting my wife and since your business here is done I would appreciate it if you left.”

“But…”

Before she could continue her argument Jesse burst in the gym. “Hi!” She completely ignored May and homed in on Misty. “Misty, you look great. Why didn't you two come by the restaurant?”

“Ummm…”

Misty and Ash exchanged glances of confusion.

Meanwhile Jesse still pretended to not notice that May was there and continued her lecture. “You just deliver the news over the phone but you don't visit.” She huffed, “Really, friends should deliver such information in person not over the phone.”

Ash and Misty blushed as they realized what she was referring too while May fumed. She didn't know what information this crazy woman with the red hair was referring to. But she had the NERVE to ignore her May Oak. Why she never!

Before Ash or Misty could stop her Jesse blurted it out…

“You two must be so happy. I can just see it now, a little twerp replica of his dad running around the gym.” She seemed to just notice May as she shot her a smirk. “Aren't you happy? You're going to have a Step-cousin.”

“WHAT!?!” May was in shock, that's why…all the pieces of the puzzle clicked into place. The odd behavior of Delia and her Grandfather, Gary's odd comments here and there. Why didn't she see it? It was just too much. She huffed said a hasty good bye and stormed out of the Gym before anyone could say another word.

All Ash and Misty could do was watch her leave and try to piece what just happened together. Ash recovered first.

“JESSE!”

“What?” She was still smirking and acting innocent.

“We didn't tell May for a reason…and now y-you…argh!” Ash was frustrated but he calmed down as an odd sound registered in his ears.

Misty stood next behind him gripping her sides nearly rolling on the ground in laughter, Jesse joining her a few second later.

“I give up!” He sighed and sat down next to Chikorita who hopped in his lap and nuzzled him. She was confused as well.

*****

Misty calmed down first and knelt down next to him, “Cheer up Ash, she did effectively shock May and get her out of the gym with out argument.”

“But now she might to do something else.” Ash groaned in to his hand above Chikorita who was napping in his lap. If he didn't get up soon he would get that prickly feeling that he hated when his legs fell asleep.

“Well I don't think she'll come back for a while, and I meant what I said. That was the main reason I came, you should have visited. It wouldn't have killed you.” Jesse had calmed down and was back to normal. “But the look on her face was priceless!” She suppressed the urge start laughing again.

“We were going to come by tonight. By the way where are James and Persian?” Misty looked sternly at her friend. *How odd to find that so easy to say and think now…but she…they really are our friends.*

“There at the restaurant, speaking of which I really have to get back.” She glanced at her watch.

Ash sighed, “Well thanks for getting rid of her but I don't think it will last long. Well see you tonight. We are meeting Brock and Joy at your restaurant.”

Jesse gasped, “Well I had better get back and let James know since Brock taught us how to cook he would be our greatest critic.” She hurried her good byes and rushed back to work.

Ash and Misty shook their heads and watched their friend leave. They never thought they would see Jesse rushing off to work.

Ash stood up placing Chikorita on the ground next to Pikachu, the two seemed to get along now. At least now Chikorita wasn't trying to push Pikachu around.

He turned his attention to the pokeball in his hand. “Let's see what pokemon Professor Oak sent this time.” Ash released the pokemon and out popped an odd blue pokemon it had eyes like Brock and happily yelled, “Wobbafet!”

Misty took out her poke gear and scanned it. “Wobbufet, the patient pokemon. This pokemon does not have any attacks. It mainly counter's its enemy's moves.”

“Huh? What good would that do us?” Misty looked at the pokemon, “Great since you took two the last time I get this one, don't I?”

“Wait it's holding something.” Ash looked at what appeared to be a letter in a little pouch on Wobbufet's back. “It's from Samuel. He says we don't have to keep this one since it's already been researched. He didn't know what to do with it so he gave it to us.”

“Wait I think I know the perfect person to give him to.” Misty smirked.

“Who?” Ash looked confused and Wobbufet mirrored his expression. “Wobba!”

“Don't you think Jesse deserves something for helping us out? I think Wobbufet would be a perfect addition to the restaurant.”

“Wobba?” (Restaurant?)

“Wobbufet, return!” Misty recalled the pokemon, “Besides Jesse could use a little “patience' when dealing with some customers.”

“I guess so…” Ash figured it would be best with everything that happed today to just agree. Besides she wasn't totally off base, Jesse could use some patience. “How about we go to the front and check for challengers. I just hope things don't get any worse today I've had enough excitement for one day.”

*****

The rest of the day went fairly smoothly and they made it in time to meet Brock and Joy. Jesse showed them to a booth where James could come out occasionally to check if Brock approved or disapproved of his cooking. Other than that they had fun catching up on what happened in the past month.

*****

Before they left Ash and Misty approached Jesse.

“Thanks for the help this morning, here's a little something you may be able to use.” Misty smiled as she held out the pokeball containing Wobbufet.

“What's this?” Jesse eyed the pokeball.

“Its one of the newly discovered pokemon, it's called a “Patient pokemon” it doesn't have any attacks, just counter attacks. But we figured it could be useful around here.” Ash grinned.

“I-I don't know what to say, thank you.” She released the pokemon who greeted her with a happy “Wobba!” and a huge hug. “You really shouldn't have.” She groaned out.

“No problem!” Ash and Misty laughed at the exchange between pokemon and master.

“Please get it off me.” Jesse croaked.

It took Brock and Ash to get the happy pokemon to release her. Once it let go Jesse let it have it for gripping her so tight. It seemed to understand and Wobba-ed happily once the ground rules were set.

“Okay, I guess we could use it. I'll go show James and Persian.” She rushed in the back.

The two couples just laughed and went to Brock and Joy's new house. It wasn't too far away from Ash and Misty's house only about two blocks down the street. They had work in the morning and Brock was excited to meet his first class. The visit was short just a quick tour a little more talking Ash and Misty went home excited to have their friends so close.
