It was a peaceful morning in Cerulean City. Misty was busy preparing for her day as leader of the Cerulean City Gym. However, she was about to start the day, in the worst way possible, in her own fashion.
Daisy, Misty's oldest sister of the Cerulean Sisters, was in her pink sweater and skirt. She was holding her luggage, as she was about to leave.

"Sis, you have a minute?" Misty asked, "I was wondering if you and I can study up some of our Seakings and Goldeens."

Daisy smiled, "I will… but I won't."

Misty asked, "Come again?"

She replied, "See, I have to go to a photo shoot, down in the Orange Islands. Also, we get to go on vacation!"

Misty cringed, "You're kidding! You mean I have to watch the gym… again?"

Daisy said, "It's only going to be for three weeks. We'll only be gone, until then. Have Tracey come over, if he chooses."

"Oh, okay."

"If you need anything, you call me. We'll only be gone for three weeks. Don't worry. I'll be back. Okay, I should be leaving now! Take care of the gym, little sister!"

She dashed off, heading to her car, as Misty was groaning, "Aw, man! What is with these girls and their shopping, vacationing, and lazing around?"

She sighed, as she sat down, in anger, "Well, three weeks is fine. How bad can it be? I mean, Daisy, Violet, and Lily will be gone and I get to be Gym Leader, as always. I may be the youngest of the Sisters, but I'm the strongest of the three, because they can't take a battle. I feel like I am related to A-list hot girls, who are also D-list Pokémon Gym Leaders."

NOTE: In the Pokémon Gen. I, Cerulean City was the second gym in the game to win a badge.

She smiled, "But… I just wonder how Ash and the others are doing. I heard about his trip to Sinnoh, and I hope to meet his new friends."

She sighed, "Focus… I better head to the pool and train."

At the pool, all of her Pokémon, including Psyduck, were swimming. Misty was by the pool. As she enjoyed the Water Pokémon swimming, the phone rang. She got up and answered the phone. It was from a man who wanted to give Misty an offer.

"Excuse me, Miss, uh… Whatever," he spoke on the phone, "I was wondering if I was to give you a special deal on a-."

Misty barked, "Whatever it is, take it with Daisy of the Cerulean Gym! She's out, right now! Call back, later!"

She hung up, slamming the receiver.

She grumbled, as she went to the pool, "Shady Salesmen… What am I, stupid?"

The phone rang again. She picked it up and shouted, "WHAT?"

It was Daisy. She giggled, "Hi. I'm at the airport."

"Oh, sorry."

"Like, what a 'tude."

"Sorry. There was a man on the phone… Uh, wrong number. That's all."

"Oh, that's fine. Listen, I forgot to tell you. We're doing a special Water Ballet Exhibition for next week, and I was wondering if you would perform for us."

"A ballet? Wait… Why? You can't expect me to do it, alone!"

"Simple… You were good, in your performance in the Magical Mermaid, long ago. Quit moping around and get it done! Besides, you can find your friends for help."

"Yeah, but-."

"We're cool on this, right?"

"Yeah, I guess so…"

"Totally cools! See you then!"

She hung up, as Misty was in a brick wall. She realized something.

She flipped, "AAH! NONE OF MY FRIENDS DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO BALLETS! AND THEY'RE ALL FAR AWAY!"

She sobbed, as she was on her knees, "This is a disaster! What will I do? I refuse to be a one-woman show! I have to care for my Pokémon, too!"

The phone rang again, as she answered it. She spoke, "Hello?"

"You hung up on me," a man's voice spoke again.

Misty yelled, "LISTEN! I DON'T KNOW WHO THE HE-!"

He said, "Let me finish! I am here for an incredible offer! I think I can help you with your troubles, Miss, uh…"

"Misty. I am the Cerulean Sisters' youngest sister and Gym Leader of Cerulean City."

"Ah, Misty. Anyway, have I got an offer for you?"

"Whatever it is… NO! Now, what is it?"

The man then said that she is sending her a flier, via Delibird, in ten minutes. He also said that it'll change her life, forever. Misty agreed and said, "Fine. You better be right."

"Since you called for the request, call back, if you are interested. Thank you."

He hung up, as Misty was confused. "Huh? What does he mean?"

Just then, outside, a Delibird arrived with a white sack over his shoulder. It appeared by the front door and knocked. Misty arrived and saw the Delibird. It gave her the flier and flew away. She thought, "I wonder why he was in a hurry."

She stepped back inside, as she went to Daisy's office.

Part 2: Misty's Triple Trouble


Misty read the flier:
Take a trip to the future, having your own people to help you out, while the ones you know are gone. Buy one of our programmable android performers, to which you can shape them into anybody you want. Totally perfect, totally safe, and totally obedient. They can perform any type of entertainment performance, including sports, movies, music, and gym battles. All our robots are well-built, waterproof, tamperproof, fail-safe, fireproof, and guaranteed to please your visitors, or your money back.
Act now, and you shall receive a money back guarantee, in case your robotic entertainer breaks down, immediately.
(
NOTE: Do NOT use androids for Psychic or Dark Pokémon)

"Huh? An android entertainer? Ridiculous…" she snuffed, "Like heck I wou-."

She thought, "Wait…"

She then thought of having her sisters as androids. They would perform water ballets and they can even match likenesses of their own moves. And since they're waterproof, the pool is a perfect way to test them.

Misty thought about it and said, "Why not? Since the sisters are gone… I might as well. One week is all I need. But, if they grew suspicious about them, I will have to lecture Daisy! And I don't care if I'm the runt of this group!"

She grabbed the phone and said, "Maybe this will be a great idea. I'm gonna enjoy this one… I hope."

She dialed the number and asked, "Hello? This is Misty of the Cerulean Gym. I got your flier and I'd like to order three of your best androids."

The operator said, "One moment please…"

The operator then said, "Okay. What kind of androids would you like?"

Misty said, "Uh… Do you have three that look like-?"

"The Sensational Sisters?"

"How do you know?"

"It just so happens that we have lifelike robots that fully resemble Daisy, Lily, and Violet. And we have our last three in the warehouse. They are super popular."

Misty blushed, "Oh. I didn't know. It just so happens that I am one of the Cerulean Sisters. But… I don't think you got one… of me."

"No. I am sorry. We do, but we sold the last Misty Android away."

Misty groaned, "I knew it…"

The operator said, "We got your account on the Cerulean City Gym, it'll be paid off, and we'll guaranteed to give you its perfection, for life, or your money back."

He then said, "That'll be… 7,500 Yen ($95.99 USD)."

Misty gasped, "Uh… How much is one each?"

The operator said, "I gave you a bargain, since you enjoy and are related to the Cerulean Sisters. One android is only 3,000 Yen ($38.40 USD) each."

Misty said, as she gave up, "Uh, give me the 3 Sisters for 1 Deal…"

The operator then said, "One moment please…"

She waited, as the order was purchased. He then asked, "Will it be standard deliver or same-day deliver?"

Misty replied, "Why? What is the Misty Android's shipping?"

The operator said, "Ma'am, we cannot divulge any past purchases. It's strictly confidential."

"Well, I am in a hurry. If you don't mind… I'd like it, by tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am. Same-day delivery. Expect your delivery, by tomorrow afternoon. Thank you for your purchase."

"No problem! Bye!"

She hung up, as she laughed, "It's worth it! It's a boatload of money, but it's worth it!"

She laughed evilly, as she just found a way to save the gym and its shows. Most of all, she found a way to make someone fill in for Daisy and her sisters – Technology!

Misty giggled, "I cannot wait!"

She gasped, "OH! I forgot! I have to check the internet on some dance moves in the past ballets that Daisy performed in. It wouldn't be fair, without a downloaded file."

She headed to the computer and started to type in "Cerulean Sisters; Water Ballet". She also knew some moves for them to perform, since she plays the Magical Mermaid, one time.


The next day, Misty waited outside, as she waited for the delivery. Minutes later, a black truck arrived, heading to the back way of the gym. Misty rushed over to the back and called to the deliverymen.

"Excuse me! Gentlemen!" She called, "It's here! Sir? Uh, sir?"

The deliveryman asked, "Are you Misty?"

Misty replied, "Yes, sir."

He presented the clipboard to her, "Sign here, please."

She signed the clipboard and said, "Are they my androids?"

The deliveryman said, "Three of the best robots that ever robotic. JK. A little joke. Please enjoy. Shall we bring them in?"

"Yes. This way, please."

They carefully brought in three crates, all marked with "To Misty of Cerulean City". Misty let them in, as they rolled them in the back way of the gym.

After that, Misty tried to open the boxes. She pulled open the lids, revealing a huge pile of straw, with a booklet of instructions. She pushed the straw out of the way and viewed a robot of Daisy, wearing her red swimsuit. She was standing in place, with her eyes closed. She looked exactly like her, right down to her body. Misty pulled her out and said, "I shall christen you, Daisy #2."

She said, "And I shall call the others Violet #2 and Lily B. B as in brat!"

"I'm the fourth Sensational Cerulean Sister!" Misty boomed.

Lily corrected, "There are THREE sisters, and ONE runt!"

Misty growled.

She then snarled, "And that's for calling me a runt!"

She stood all three robots in place. The Violet Robot was wearing her green swimsuit, while the Lily Robot had on her yellow swimsuit. She then read the instructions.

"To turn on your android entertainers, simply open the panel and press the ON button on the back of the neck. Activate them, by giving their command. Also, they shall be useful for their default programming. To download additional programming, placed slot disc in back area, above their abdomen."

She then said, "Well, first things first… Time to activate them."

She then read, "WARNING: make sure to recharge them, using the extendable cord and plug, located in their… their…"

Misty closed the booklet and said, "You know… I think I shall keep their recharging confidential."

She blushed, "But first!"

She turned on each robot, one at a time, "Daisy… Lily… Violet… Activate…"

She smiled, "Yay!"

The robots opened their eyes and started to flash their eyes. Daisy shone her green eyes, Lily shone her blue eyes, and Violet shone her brown eyes. Misty was ecstatic, as they started moving. They walked towards Misty, as they bowed to her.

They spoke, "Hello, Miss Misty. We are your servants to obey."

Misty blushed, as Daisy Robot smiled, "I am Daisy."

Violet Robot said, "I am Violet."

Lily Robot giggled, "And I am Lily."

Daisy blushed, "Like, totally."

They hugged her, as Misty was confused. She asked, "Uh… Attention?"

Daisy Robot said, "Not now. We want to enjoy this newfound ownership."

Misty sighed, "They'll understand… But how can I tell them that they can swim?"

The Robots said, "We're excellent swimmers! We are, like, totally not maladroit!"

Misty thought, "Didn't that last part sound weird and wrong?"

Misty then placed the sisters into Daisy's office. Lily and Violet was sitting in the couch, as Daisy was being modified. Misty then presented a floppy disc of the Real Sisters' swimming routine.

She asked, "Are you familiar with swimming?"

Daisy Robot replied, "No. But we are excellent swimmers. Like, I can do a backstroke, frontstroke, butterfly-."

Misty said, "Yeah, yeah. But can you do a Water Ballet or synchronize swimming?"

Daisy beeped, "Does not compute. We do not swim for show. It is not in our programming."

Misty gasped, "YOU WHAT?"

She fainted on the chair, as the sisters were surrounding her, trying to revive her.

"Master! Wake up!" Violet pleaded.

Misty was still out cold. How can she explain to the androids that a water ballet is coming next week, if they don't know how?
