“All is fair in Love and Pokemon”-Jesse

This is my first AAML.  I decided to do this after reading so many fanfics and realizing that I am the only pokemaniac where I live.  Just pretend all those disclaimers are there.  This happens while Ash is coming home from the Johto league and shows what might happen if the love of catching pokemon he had at the beginning of the journey, and the love of Misty that he has been building all these years overtake him finally.  For the convienience of the fic, I have removed all mental blocks on Ash's mind, and believe you me there were a lot more than is popularly believed.  PG-13 is the constant maximum in all my stories.
 

There is a theory of probability that everything eventually happens, and that infinite universes exist in order to hold each line of evolving time.  If this theory holds true, then the attribute of imagination may be a physical ability instead of a mental one.  The ability to look into other possibility lines and see what happens in them.  Writers are those who not only have all this, and can also describe it in a way that builds a path in books and stories into that reality.  The better the writer, the firmer the path and the more likely that their imagination will be able to find the place described and look into it.  The television show pokemon resides in the volatile realm of the Anime universe.  During one of the episodes, a power outage caused the tape to be electrified, the ensuing power causing a shockwave to spread throughout the episodes just after Ash’s defeat in the Silver Conference.

As the threesome, followed as always by TR, journey back to Pallet Town, they come upon a small village and a ... “Mareep: The electric fleece pokemon.  This pokemon’s fleece slowly falls out as it evolves.” said Dexter.
“Sounds like a good pokemon for you, Ash,” said Brock.
“You’re right *hat goes backwards* cyndaquil, I choose you!”
But before he could throw any pokeball, a familiar voice yelled, “Wait!”  And officer Jenny came into view.  This caused Brock to straighten up and start to open his mouth.
“Not today, Brock.”  Misty sighed, and gave Brock the two-finger knockdown.
“This area is restricted, no pokemon are to be captured in this area” said Jenny.
“Why?” they all chorused.
“Pokemon here have been overcaught in the last few years.  We needed to keep trainers away so that the pokemon can repopulate, not that the heart of the forest hasn’t been put off limits anyway due to the people disappearing in there.”  She sighed “The poachers still come, there’s a couple now.”  And Jenny started chasing after TR, who tripped and somehow managed to turn it into a blastoff. After all this, Ash saw a very powerful looking charmeleon and started to vibrate, soon yelling, “I must have them!”
“But Jenny said that it’s against the law.”  Misty tried to tell him.
“And I don’t want to upset Jenny.”  Brock agreed.
“Don’t worry, I have a plan” said Ash in a reassuring voice.  At that, he ran off into town and the others were forced to follow.

After getting into town and looking around a bit.  Ash found an information stand and got out a map.  Still not telling the others his plan, he started walking off again, this time Brock stopped him.  “What are you doing?”  He asked in a suspicious tone.
“If you’re going to beat it out of me, alright, you don’t have to twist my arm just to get the plan,” Ash said, freeing himself from Brock “I think that we have followed the rules long enough, and should do something wild at least once.  This carries the bonus of nabbing some really cool pokemon.  Officer Jenny is watching, though, so we must not let her know of this.  If we disguise ourselves as pokemon, we can slip by without her knowing anything of it.”
They both look stunned.  “This is uncharacteristically smart and disobedient,” Misty finally stammered.  At that, Ash muttered something about being tired of TR having all the fun and besides, he could do better.

The shockwave grew stronger, trying to catalyze a major change.

“All right, you have us.  But we’ll need some pokeballs for this.”  Brock said. After checking, they see they are low and go to the pokemart to get more.  They then went to the costume shop to see what they could get.
“I think that to keep away suspicion, there should be as little individuals as possible.  So two of us might both be in a two person costume, like a girafarig.”  Brock pointed out.
“That sounds like a good idea,” Misty said, brightly.  And then “you and Ash,” in a voice that could temper concrete.
“Right, now lets go to the changing rooms and then show Misty” once again Brock.

“No point in arguing” said Ash as they left.  After much exclamations and pointing out that Brock was bigger and stronger, Ash was persuaded to be the back end.  Once they came out, Misty laughed so hard that it was obvious that girafarigs do look incredibly silly (besides, they couldn’t have Misty snickering while Jenny was about) and they changed to a much more respectable looking stantler.  Then it was Misty’s turn.  “Ash” she called.  “You’re with me, I might need help.”
“Why not me, too?” asked Brock.
“You fall in love with too many girls as it is, I would have to keep a rifle if the same happened with you seeing me in my underwear and with my hair down.”  Misty accused.
“And Ash?”
“He is too juvenile to have that problem,” Misty said, neatly covering up her true reason.
Ash once again realized that resistance was futile and joined Misty.  She stripped down to her undies and started showing him the possibilities of what she was going to disguise herself as.
“How about Jynx?” she asked, putting it on.
“Well...it’s rather not exactly you and besides, you need to bend over to be the right height.  That limits mobility.”
“That is a good point, I never liked it anyway.”  She pulled out another one.  “Golduck, a water pokemon and definitely the correct height and it can breathe for an hour underwater.”  She put it on, and it being latex elastic was rather form fitting and very flattering.
“That’s your type of pokemon alright and I must say it looks good on you.  Perhaps too good.  You also need to bend over in this because Golduck is not known for posture.”
“Point well taken, my back wouldn’t like this one at all. Here’s the last one and certainly has neither of the problems mentioned in the last one.  Pidgeot.” *Pause*
“Why aren’t you putting it on?”
“I need help with this one.”  She pulled it up and stuck her head into the pidgeot head and waved the wings.  “See, wings, I can’t pull up the zipper.”  Ash came over and did it for her.
“Thanks, Ash.  What do you think, it can actually fly.”
“That is a plus and there is a definite advantage to that.  Besides, you look kinda cute in it.”
Misty ruffled his hair affectionately.  “Once in awhile, you make me wonder if I was mistaken in calling you brainless.”
He helped her out of it and she got dressed again.  As they were coming out, Brock said “Wait, we can’t be seen leaving with all these full pokeballs, and besides they might try to tranquilize us and put us back in the forest.”
“What can we do?”  Misty asked the others.
“Another set of disguises I guess.”  Brock said.
“I have just the idea, nurse Joy, a chansey and a blissey.”  Ash said.
“They have all those here.”  Misty noticed.
“But who will be what?” Brock asked.
Misty began “Since I am the only girl, it would make sense that –“
“Brock be nurse Joy” Ash interrupted.
“What?” the others yelled.
“Brock is the only one who isn’t fooled by imposter Joy’s, it stands to reason that he is the one qualified to imitate one.”
“I could do a good job at that,” Brock murmured.  “OK.”
“I’ll be chansey,” Ash said and Misty agreed.  After buying their costumes, they set out again.  This time for the forest.
“This mask is so one-dimensional” Brock complained, holding up a pitiful excuse for a nurse Joy face.
“I think I may be able to help there.”  Ash said and then yelled “Jesse!  James! Come here, I have a proposition.”
“Prepare–“
“And no motto.”
“Twerp!  What do you want?”  Jesse said angrily.
“A trade of services.  We get you some rare pokemon and not tell Giovanni where you got them, you give us your best Joy mask and never darken our path again.”
“Why would we do any of that?”
“Think about it, the pokemon would get you back on Boss Rocket’s good side and we are bad luck to you, seeing as how you were so successful until you followed us.”
Muttering from the TR group.  “You have a deal.”  They gave him the mask.
“It’s a good thing we can trust each other.”  Both sides muttered sarcastically.
And they were on their way again, coming to the edge of the forest and checking for watchers with Dexter’s scanner.  Misty went behind a tree and they all started to get ready and get into their disguises.  As Ash and Brock prepared to join, Misty yelled, “Ash come over here and help me.”
“Absentminded me.”  Said Ash.  He went over and pulled the zipper on the pidgeot costume, which earned him another friendly ruffle.  But before he could get back to Brock, Misty almost inaudibly whispered “Wait, unzip me a moment” Ash complied and Misty got her head out, hugged him with her wings and kissed him.  He was taken aback a moment and then realized that (with the helping hand the shockwave gave his mind) they both felt the same way and kissed her back.  He then zipped her up again, hugged and joined Brock.  They all joined up and Brock said “We’ll scout out the place first, Misty fly recon and meet us here in two hours.  They then went their separate ways.  Two hours later, they met each other and had both seen the same amazing thing.  “What are all those rare and legendary pokemon doing meeting in the same place?!”  Misty exclaimed and asked.
“Dexter translated their speech and it seems that it is a meeting of the pokemon guardian league.  I am impressed at the attendance.”  Ash said, muffled.
They all agreed that this was a huge opportunity and formed a plan.  They went back in and just threw the pokeballs.  The pokemon concerned were taken by surprise since they didn’t sense humans about and were caught easily.  At that point, a ball of purple energy appeared and Mewtwo materialized, his eyes glowed a moment and the threesome suddenly remembered their time with him.  They knew his message then, you were spared once for your purity, don’t mess up now.  By the time they had regained their composure, he was gone.  Speechless, they decided to go on with the plan and went to a clearing where everyone changed to their new disguise.  Ash helped Misty but had to be helped by Brock, who was so convincing, Ash was scared for a moment they had been caught.  (Why is it that when pokemon evolve some never seem to get long enough arms?).  Brock was that good and when Misty saw him, she giggled and admitted that he did a better job then she could have.  The pokeballs were stored in Ash and Misty’s costumes since they had so much room in there.  They were stopped once by Jenny, but let through (Brock was amazing).

They then went to a convenient cave where TR was waiting.  They were in a good mood so have the crooks one of each of the dratini evolution chain and sent TR back to Viridian to show Giovanni. They then looked at what they had left, noticing one of every legend and rare except M2.  They sent them all out and looked at them, Misty of course immediately getting the water dwellers, including Suicune.  They also agreed that the ones that were guardians like Mew and the wind dogs had to get back to their tasks and so were bade allowed to do that but if needed would come.  This earned them a mindlashing by Mew, who was immune to the effects of a pokeball.  (Why is it that pokeballs seem to make their occupants obedient?)  They also decided to wait and stay in the town a little longer before moving on.  Misty and Ash managed to lose Brock that night in order to go out and about.  They ended up in a grassy field, looking up at the stars and being generally romantic.  There was much tender kissing and hugging and they were happy.  Ash broke the silence, “You really are cute in that pidgeot costume.  It’s soft and can really show emotion.”
Misty giggled a little and said “Maybe you ought to try it, I have it in my bag here in case I needed it, this is a good enough reason.  I also have a hand mirror.”
“That would be great, maybe I would look cute too.”
“Wouldn’t be the first time.”  They kissed a bit and Ash put on the costume, with Misty going to zip it up.
“Don’t bother, I think we might not need that tonight.”  He examined himself and asked, “What do you think?”
“You look positively cuddly.”
“Then why not?”  He stretched his wing in a soft hug, dislodged his head and kissed her passionately.  “Now I know how you felt earlier today.  I have a present.”  He took out a package.  “I saw how you seemed to like the Golduck costume and I got an improved version.  “It has an oxygen recycler so that you can swim forever.”
Misty looked up and her eyes were sparkling.  “This is great, Ash.”
“It also has an option to give you the proportions of a Golduck, or be as flattering as the one you had before.”  She immediately started putting it on, leaving the mask off.  “I’m still not done with you.”  She explained.
They then just sat there, her looking radiant and him looking cute, looking into each other’s eyes, kissing and embracing the rest of the night.
