Chapter 14: A Recharge at Home and a Birthday Bash Part 5


'Last time, Ash got a visit from Pidgeot who told Ash he was challenged by the Fearow he battle before he headed off to the Orange Islands. He went with Pidgeot along with Pikachu, Butterfree and Noctowl to battle Fearow and after a crazy battle, Ash caught it with a fast ball. After returning home and then letting everyone know of his birthday, Misty called her sisters so they could have the party at her gym in Cerulean City. Also, Ash and May got new Pokédexes and Max got the data of the Battle Frontier. The first one was the Battle Factory and that's near Cerulean City, but first they're heading to the Cerulean Gym where Ash's party is along with Brock but what kinds of mayhem will await them when they get there?'


After trekking through forests and mountains, Ash and the others arrived at Misty's home, Cerulean City.

"We're here!" said Misty.

Everyone looked at the city and was amazed.

"This is your home city?" asked Max in awe and Misty nodded.

"It's so beautiful," said May.

"It is," said Misty with a smile.

"Took us a couple of days but we finally got here," said Brock.

"Well then let's head for the gym!" said Ash taking off.

"Ash wait!" called Max but Ash was too far for him to hear Max.

"I got him stand clear," said Dante.

Everyone backed away and then Dante took off like a bat out of hell after Ash.

"Wow never knew Dante could move fast like Ash," said Brock.

"You haven't seen how fast he can really run," said Misty.

So the four walked down the hill and took their time heading for the gym.

Ash and Pikachu arrived first at the gym, then Dante.

"You think you're the only one who can run fast Ash?" smirked Dante.

"Maybe you and me should race Dante." Ash smirked back.

"Pika!" said Pikachu agreeing.

"Careful Ash you might regret challenging me," said Dante.

Soon the others arrived after taking their time.

"So this is your gym Misty?" said May.

"Yep it has a pool and it doubles as a stage and aquarium," said Misty.

"That's amazing!" said May.

"Uh-huh and when I'm not at the gym, my sisters do it for me," Misty said.

"Your sisters?" said Max.

"I have three. Lily, Violet and Daisy." Misty added.

Soon they went inside and looked around and saw the place was empty.

"Hello?" said Misty. But no one answered.

"Nobody's here. Let's check the arena," said Ash.

They then went to the arena which was a big pool and had stadium like seats and a big diving board.

"Hello?" Misty said again. This time she got an answer.

"Hey there little sister!" Called 3 voices.

Coming from the water were 3 girls wearing two piece bikinis in different colors, Daisy had yellow, Violet green and Lily red and they were each riding on the back of Dewgong. They headed to the others and then they jumped and landed in front of them.

"Hey Misty," said Daisy.

"Oh wow!" said Brock going love struck again.

Brock then leaped in front of the others and started saying his usual stuff whenever he sees a pretty girl.

Misty and Max were about to pull Brock away when Dante beat them and he pulled on his ear.

"Ow that hurts!" Brock complained.

"Okay man what you need are lessons!" said Dante dragging him.

"May, Max, Dante this is Daisy, Violet and Lily my sisters." Misty introduced them.

"Hello there," said May. Max and Dante.

"So Misty where's the birthday boy?" Daisy teased.

"Hey you three," said Ash nervously.

Daisy, Violet and Lily went over and starting hugging him and Pikachu.

"Hey there Ash," said Violet hugging him.

"It's been a long time." Added Daisy who got a turn hugging Ash.

"How have you been Pikachu?" asked Lily petting his head.

"Pikachu!" said Pikachu as he got his head petted.

"So Misty did you make Ash your boyfriend yet?" teased Daisy.

Misty went red in the face with anger and embarrassment and took out her hammer and hit her sisters on the head.

Dante couldn't help but chuckle at that.

May went red in the face as well as she remembered kissing Ash on the cheek.

"Come on Misty we're just teasing you." Joked Violet.

"If you don't want him we'll take him.." teased Daisy and she pulled Ash closer and his face got mushed in her chest.

That made Misty and May turn fully red and they grabbed Ash from her since he couldn't breathe.

"Are you okay Ash?" they asked.

Ash nodded as his face was red and couldn't say a word, Pikachu tried to get a response but nothing.

"I got him girls," said Dante picking Ash up.

"Come on Pikachu, let's get lover boy some fresh air," said Dante.

Pikachu jumped on Dante's shoulder and they headed outside.

Soon they were outside and Dante had to slap Ash five times to wake him up.

"Ow.." said Ash regaining his senses.

"Sorry Ash but you were in a daze after being smothered by Daisy and Violet," said Dante.

"I've never had that happen to me before," said Ash.

"Well you're getting to the age when things are going to change and soon you'll be the catch for all kinds of girls," said Dante.

"I am?" said Ash surprised.

"Yep and trust me I've been there." Dante added.

Ash felt a bit of dread coming.

"Don't worry I'll help you out with it, your birthday is in a couple of days so you can relax," said Dante.

Ash felt a bit better and Pikachu hopped on his shoulder.

"So what do we do now?" asked Ash.

"We can explore the city and check things out." Dante suggested.

"Okay I guess we can do that," said Ash.

Soon everyone else came out and they went into the city.

They split in two teams guys and girls.


May and Misty went with Daisy, Violet and Lily to hit the shops and the guys decided to walk around in the city.

They too went to some stores to stock up on food and supplies and also secretly getting Ash his gifts, they took turns going with Ash while the other two went to get some gifts and they rotated at different locations.

Misty and May were getting some gifts for Ash as well and wondered what would be a great gift for him and then they saw something that he might like.

About an hour passed and everyone met up by the fountain.

"Where's Ash?" asked Misty.

"He's at the Pokémon Center making a phone call," said Brock.

"Good we need to hide the gifts at the gym," said Daisy.

"Leave that to me," said Dante.

He brought out Alakazam and it used Teleport to get them to the gym, where they hid the gifts in a supply closet which Dante placed a sign that said 'do not enter' on it and teleported back to the fountain just as Ash returned.

"So Ash who did you call?" asked Brock.

"Professor Oak and asked if he can come. But he couldn't due to some other professors coming over for an important discussion so Tracey is coming in his place and he has some surprises for me," said Ash.

"Well then what do we do now?" asked Max.

"I know let's get some dinner, I know a place that plays music and does requests," said Violet.

Daisy got her phone out and called for a limo and after waiting thirty minutes the limo arrived and they got in and headed for the restaurant in downtown.

After a hour of driving they arrived at a restaurant called Le Palais de Saphir or The Sapphire Palace and it was big and fancy.

They arrived at the entrance and got out of the limo and it drove off until it was time to picked them up. After going inside, the interior of the place was big and there were people and Pokémon enjoying their meals, talking and enjoying the music being played.

After being escorted to their table, they ordered their food for themselves and their Pokémon and they enjoyed the music playing.

Soon their food came and everyone dug in, the food was exquisite and the fountain drinks were great.

After the last song was played, the MC came up to the mic.

"Ladies and Gentleman thank you all for coming tonight. Tonight we have some special guests here, we have the sensational sisters and Misty of the Cerulean Gym, all the way from Hoenn is May the coordinator and from Sinnoh Dante, and also the winner of the Hoenn League and from here in Kanto is Ash Ketchum!"

Soon the lights were on them and they all got a big round of applause.

"Whoa never expected this," said Brock.

"Yeah didn't know we were that famous." Added Dante.

"Well tonight is a special one cause it's not often we get famous people here, so how about it would you like to sing some musical numbers?" asked the MC.

"I would, I would!" said Brock.

(Clonk!)

He got hit on the head with a mallet by Misty.

"Calm down you dummy," said Misty.

"So who's going first?" asked Daisy.

"What about Dante?" said Violet.

"Me?" said Dante surprised.

"Yeah Dante give it a go, I heard from other trainers that came from Sinnoh that you have a good singing voice," said Lily.

Dante then went a deep shade of red.

"Come on Dante show us what you got," said May.

The others egged him on until Dante gave in.

"Okay, okay but it's been a while since I did sing," Dante said giving in and getting up from his chair.

He drank his water and cleared his throat and went up to the stage where the MC handed him the mic.

"Thank you everyone now I will sing about two songs, let's see for the first one how about something from Lupin the 3rd?" said Dante.

Dante looked over the list for one song from Lupin and he saw it.

"Perfect," he said and told the MC to play the one he picked.

Soon some music of the 80's began to play setting the mood for one of romance and love as the lights turned red and shone on Dante as he began to sing.


(Itsuka meguriaeru yasashii nani ka motome, Kimi no kokoro no ito furuwasete hohoemi wo ukaberu.

I ONLY KNOW THAT I LOVE HER

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS I MUST FIND HER

THINKING OF TIME WE'LL BE SPENDING

THINKING OF LOVE WE'LL BE SHARING

I'LL KNOW THAT GIRL WHEN SHE COMES NEAR

FILLING MY HEART WITH THESE DREAMS,

BUT I KNOW THAT UNTIL THEN I'LL FEEL ALONE,

LOVE IS EVERYTHING, LOVE TO SHARE WITH YOU…

Follow by a saxophone solo that echoed throughout the place, everybody and their Pokémon felt the feelings of love flowing into them as the solo ended.

TWO EYES SPEAKING OF LOVE

TWO ARMS HOLD TWO LIPS THAT KNOW

HOW GOOD IT IS TO BE TOGETHER

LIKE IN A DREAM, LOVE ONLY GLOWS AND IT GROWS,

I ONLY KNOW THAT I LOVE HER

THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS I MUST FIND HER

THINKING OF TIME WE'LL BE SPENDING

THINKING OF LOVE WE'LL BE SHARING

I'LL KNOW THAT GIRL WHEN SHE COMES NEAR

FILLING MY HEART WITH THESE DREAMS,

BUT I KNOW THAT UNTIL THEN I'LL FEEL ALONE

TWO EYES SPEAKING OF LOVE

TWO ARMS HOLD TWO LIPS THAT KNOW

HOW GOOD IT IS TO BE TOGETHER

LIKE IN A DREAM, LOVE ONLY GLOWS AND IT GROWS…)


The song kept going until it faded out along with the music.

Everyone gave Dante a round of applause for his singing and they cheered for him.

"Wow Dante I didn't know that you were that good," said Misty.

"Yeah that was awesome!" said Ash with Pikachu agreeing.

"Thanks guys that means a lot," said Dante.

"Where did you heard that song?" May asked.

"I heard it at a concert when I was in Johto competing in a tournament and they played this song and I learned the words to it and sang it at a couple of clubs and everyone went nuts for it," said Dante.

"So are you going to sing another one?" said Lily.

"Well maybe," said Dante.

Just then there was an explosion as something smashed through the wall of the restaurant and when the smoke cleared it was a metal Steelix tank with a red R on top and they knew who it was.

Then something was coming from the tank and it was two people and Ash, Brock and Dante knew who it was.


Cassidy: Prepare for trouble...

Butch: ...and make it double!

Both: Here's our mission, so you better listen!

Cassidy: To infect the world with devastation!

Butch: To blight all people in every nation!

Cassidy: To denounce the goodness of truth and love!

Butch: To extend our wrath to the stars above!

Cassidy: Cassidy!

Butch: And Butch, of course!

Cassidy: We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and night.

Butch: Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!


"Cassidy!" said Ash.

"And Bod!" said Brock.

"It's Butch you fool!" said Butch annoyed.

"What are you two doing here?" said Dante getting very annoyed.

"What else?" said Cassidy. "We're here to steal some rare and powerful Pokémon like yours," she said.

"Yeah starting with Pikachu," said Butch.

"The hell you will!" said Dante getting front of Pikachu.

"Like you can stop us," said Butch.

"Bring it on you pathetic excuses of villains," said Dante bringing out two Pokéballs.

"What did you say?" Cassidy said angrily.

"You heard me, go Haunter, Onix!" said Dante throwing them.

Out came the gas Pokémon Haunter and the rock snake Pokémon Onix.

"Grovyle I choose you!" said Ash.

"Grovyle." Said the wood gecko Pokémon.

"Well we'll see about that," said Butch as he and Cassidy went back in the tank and deployed the robot arms ready to grab Pikachu and some Pokémon as they drove forward.

"Haunter use Psychic!" said Dante.

Haunter's eyes glowed purple and fired a blast of psychic energy at the tank but it didn't work.

"HA! We made it electric and psychic proof!" boasted Cassidy.

She pressed a button and the arms moved to get Pikachu when Ash stepped up.

"Grovyle use Leaf Blade!" he said.

Grovyle's leaves glowed green and moved quickly and sliced the arms off.

"What?!" said Butch and Cassidy.

"Onix Tackle attack!" said Dante.

Onix roared and it lurched forward and slammed into the tank sending it out of the restaurant and landing outside in the street knocking Butch and Cassidy out of it.

Ash and the others ran out to confront them.

Cassidy and Butch got back up and were ready to go.

"Go Houndour, Sableye!" said Cassidy.

"Primeape, Hitmontop!" added Butch.

Out came their Pokémon and they were ready to battle.

"Combusken let's go!" said May.

"Gyarados you too!" said Misty.

Ash and Dante got some back up from Misty and May.

"Hitmontop use Triple Kick and Primeape Thunder Punch!" said Butch.

"Sableye use Shadow Ball and Houndour use Flamethrower!" said Cassidy.

Primeape charged in with an electric charged fist and Hitmontop came forward with its leg aimed, Houndour fired a stream of fire and Sableye fired a black and purple ball.

"Pikachu use Quick Attack on Primeape and Grovyle Aerial Ace on Hitmontop!" said Ash.

Pikachu moved quickly as a white streak trailed behind him and got behind Primeape and then moved and hit Primeape, Grovyle was covered in white streaks as he ran very fast and slammed into Hitmontop.

"Combusken use Flamethrower!" said May.

"Gyarados use hHydro Pump!" said Misty.

Combusken let out a stream of fire and Gyarados fired a huge blast of water and they quickly stopped Cassidy's attacks.

"Tch.." said Cassidy. "Sableye use Night Shade and Houndour use Fire Spin!"

Houndour fired a spiral of red-orange fire and Sableye fired dark purple lasers from its eyes.

"Primeape use Mega Punch and Hitmontop use Rapid Spin!" said Butch.

Primeape cocked its fist back while it glowed and Hitmontop got upside down and started spinning fast.

"Haunter use Confusion on Hitmontop and Onix use Dragon Breath on Primeape!" said Dante.

Haunter's eyes glowed blue and used its powers to stop Hitmontop in its tracks.

Onix opened its mouth and expelled a blast of a green and yellow beam and it struck Primeape on the spot paralyzing it.

"Gyarados use Flamethrower!" said Misty.

"Combusken use Sky Uppercut!" said May.

Gyarados roared and unleashed a blast of red-orange fire to counter Night Shade and Combusken's claws glowed light blue while it charged forwards at Houndour. Gyarados and Sableye's attack ended it a tie but Combusken scored a direct hit and sent Houndour into Sableye knocking them out.

Pikachu and Grovyle followed suit and Pikachu used Iron Tail on Primeape and Grovyle used Focus Punch on Hitmontop sending them into Cassidy's Pokémon.

"No!" they said in horror.

"Okay Pikachu use Thunderbolt! Grovyle use Bullet Seed!" said Ash.

"Haunter Night Shade and Onix Dragon Breath!" said Dante.

"Combusken Flamethrower!" said May.

"Gyarados use Hydro Pump!" said Misty.

Pikachu unleashed a blast of electricity, Grovyle fired a barrage of yellow glowing seeds, Haunter fired dark purple lasers from its eyes, Onix fired a beam of green energy, Combusken unleashed a stream of fire from its beak and Gyarados fired a powerful blast of water.

The six attacks fused together and they hit team rocket and their tank causing it to blow up and send them flying.

"AH I can't believe we got beaten by those kids," said Cassidy.

"UGH! Now I know how Jessie and James feel.." Butch whined. "We'll get them next time," he said.

"But now WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" they shouted as they vanished into the distance with a ping sound.

"Well that's over," said Dante recalling his Pokémon.

"Yeah but the place took some damage I think they might have to close now," said Brock.

"Don't worry this place has had its fair shares of trouble and not much was damaged, tomorrow it will be closed for repairs but tonight we can have one more song played and we would like Mr. Ketchum to sing it," said the manager.

"Me?" said Ash surprised.

"Yeah we want to hear your singing," said the manager.

"I don't know.." said Ash nervously.

Dante then pulled Ash over to him and whispered something in his ear and Ash felt a bit more confident.

"Okay he'll do it under one condition, he sings but he'll have me conducting the song and he gets a partner to dance with and we can do it in a couple of days," said Dante.

"Alright then in the meantime we'll get some repairs done. But can you sing one more song Dante?" asked the manager.

"Okay then," said Dante.

Everyone went back in and Dante took to the stage once more and chose the song he was going to sing next.

"Okay boys hit it!" said Dante.

Soon big band music played as Dante started to sing in a deep voice.


" I've got you under my skin.

I've got you deep in the heart of me.

So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.

I've got you under my skin.

I'd tried so not to give in.

I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.

But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well

I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of havin' you near

In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night

And repeats, repeats in my ear:

Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?

Use your mentality, wake up to reality.

But each time that I do just the thought of you

Makes me stop before I begin

'Cause I've got you under my skin.

[Musical interlude]

I would sacrifice anything come what might

For the sake of havin' you near

In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night

And repeats - how it yells in my ear:

Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?

Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?

But each time I do just the thought of you

Makes me stop just before I begin

'Cause I've got you under my skin.

Yes, I've got you under my skin."


When the song ended Dante got a round of applause and Dante thanked everyone and he paid for his and his friends meal.

Soon their limo came and they got in and they drove off.

They arrived at the Pokémon center.

They dropped off Ash, Pikachu, Dante, May, Brock and Max and Misty said that they'll see them tomorrow and they headed back to the gym for rest.

Soon everyone went to their rooms and they fell asleep.

A little bit later in the night, Dante woke up to some knocking on the door, he got out of bed and slowly walked to the door and opened it to find May.

"What is it May?" he asked groggily.

"Sorry Dante I just had one of those bad nightmares and can I sleep with Ash?" she asked.

Dante looked in her eyes and can see she did had a nightmare and sighed.

"Okay but keep it quiet," he said and he let her in.

May then went over to Ash's bed and carefully got in it without waking him or Pikachu.

Dante then closed the door and got back into bed and went to sleep.

But what he didn't know was that Ash was having a strange dream and was mumbling in his sleep as he was talking to someone and he was agreeing to something before fully falling back to sleep.

The next morning, Ash woke up and he felt something on him besides Pikachu, he looked over to find May sleeping on him.

He looked at her sleeping face, he felt something rising in him and he was slowly turning red.

'Wow May looks cute as she sleeps..' He thought.

He slowly leaned forward and he got closer and closer, he was about to kiss her when he heard tapping on the window snapping him out of it.

"Now who could that be?" he said as he got out of bed and walked to the window.

He opened it and something flew in and Ash turned around and couldn't believe who it was.

"No way!" he said.


'After having a big dinner and some singing from Dante and battling Team Rocket, Ash has an encounter with an old friend that flew in, who is it and why it is here? Stay tuned to find out as the journey continues!'


To be continued..


Okay that ends this long ass chapter.

Sorry it took so long been busy and had to do a favor for a neighbor of mine.

Now this chapter has ended next one up is Ash's birthday and then after that the battle factory.

Now in this one the battle will be 3 on 3 and don't worry I will have Charizard fight Articuno cause that's one of my favorite battles next to the one with Magmar.

Now after the battle with Noland the story will have a hiatus as I'm going to do a side story that's connected to this but putting a spin on the mastermind of mirage Pokémon.

Also during that time Ash will catch a new Pokémon in the side story but you have to guess which one.

Now if you excuse me I need to get some of my total drama stories done.

So R and R no flames and no insults and no rude ones.

Until next time

Also the songs in this were (love is everything by Noboru Kimura that was used in Lupin the 3rd and I've got you under my skin by Frank Sinatra)
