Work Text:

Aboard the SS Anne, Misty and Serena just left Ash and Giselle to have a heart-to-heart.

“Do you think it will turn out alright?” Serena asked.

“Come on, Serena,” Misty said. “You and I both know Ash well enough. He won’t abandon us.”

“Hey, hey, lasses!” they heard a voice. They turned around and saw a middle-aged man by a water tank, , like a fish salesman. "Yeah, I'm talking to you, come over here. Take a look at this Pokémon here! You know what it is?"

The man pointed at the red fish floating inside the tank. Of course the girls knew what it was, but they decided to play along and pretend she didn't.

"This is a Magikarp, lasses!" he said as he pulled the Magikarp out of the tank. Seeing Misty, the Magikarp started getting agitated. "You'll never find a healthier one! And look, they even seem to like you!"

And sure enough, since Misty was a Water Bloodliner, she did hear that Magikarp say something:

Hey, you! The redhead! Didn’t you save me from some bullies two years ago? If it’s really you, save me from this guy! I don’t wanna be found out as useless and then devoured!

"Is it special somehow?" Serena asked, not hearing Magikarp.

"Don't you know? Magikarp could be a Pokémon gold mine!" he whispered like it was some grand secret. "One single Magikarp can lay a thousand eggs at once, each of which can lay other thousand, and that makes one million, which then will lay a thousand more each, and so on."

'What's this guy getting at?' the redhead thought. Even she knew Magikarp didn't breed that fast, or they could easily give Daisy's Poliwrath a run for his money in offspring, if what he said was true.

"You can sell one of these Magikarps in a hundred bucks, and when it lays its thousand eggs, you can sell each of those in a hundred more each. You can grow rich with zero effort, lass! And just because this Magikarp seems to like you, I'll cut the price in half, what do you say?"

“Misty, that’s a scam,” Serena whispered to Misty.

“Relax, do you really think I’ll fall for it?” Misty whispered back. “Watch, I’m gonna hoist the guy with his own petard!” And then, to the salesman: "I'm not interested in raising so many Magikarp, but I could use one for my goal of being a Water Pokemon Master. Still… I think half the price is still too high for me. Can't you give me a better discount?"

"Better? Listen, you're never getting a better bargain, trust me!"

"You know, this could turn into a better profit for both of us… if you can make me a little favor."

"Oh, and that would be?" the salesman asked.

"One day, I'll become the greatest Water Pokemon Master in the world," said Misty. "When I do that I'll be famous, but I can't properly thank you for helping me reach my goal… unless you give me your name or how I could contact you."

"Are you serious?" The man's eyes widened and Misty could swear she saw some shiny coins in them.

"Just think about it, you could become famous too." Misty was trying her best to imitate her sisters' melodramatic voice whenever they rehearsed scenes for acting. "I can see it: the man who helped Kanto Elite Four Misty Waterflower, by giving her the first of her Magikarp! For something like that, it's a small price to pay, don't you think?"

The man didn't need to be told anything else: he quickly pulled out a pocket notepad and a pen, quickly wrote something down and handed it to her. The girl barely could hold back the creeps she felt down her spine with those greedy eyes, but she grabbed the paper and realized it had a name, phone number and home address. That had been easy.

"You get your special discount, lass. I seriously hope you succeed in your goal," he said with that silly grin. "Don't forget about me when you're at the top, alright?"

"Of course not," Misty said as she pulled out her money to pay, smiling as best as she could. "Pleasure in doing business with you."

And then, she and Serena walked away, making a gesture of disgust as soon as she was out of the guy's vision range. For now, until Ash found them again, the best they could do was enjoying the ride on SS Anne.

You really let him get away with that scam?” Magikarp asked Misty.

“No, I didn’t,” Misty said. “I’ll rat him out to the police, just… later. Right now, I want to enjoy my trip on SS Anne.”


Gary Oak was strolling towards the captain’s room without a care in the world. His cheerleaders, however, were somewhat concerned.

“Gary, are you sure it’s a good idea to just… up and try to strike a dialogue with the SS Captain?” one of the cheerleaders, Simone said.

“Yeah, I mean, he’s a former member of the Elite Four! You only have three Badges!” another one, Caroline, added.

“Relax, girls,” Gary said. “I’m not a criminal that wants to sink the SS Anne.”

The cheerleaders all gulped. Though Gary wouldn’t admit out loud, he did appreciate the concern. However, he knew they were worrying for nothing. As such, he went with no fear towards the captain’s room.

“How may I help you, sir?” a sailor that was guarding the door to the captain’s room asked.

“I wanna talk with the captain,” Gary said.

“The captain is a very busy man,” the sailor said.

“Oh, well,” Gary said. “It’s not as if I can’t get Professor Oak to tell the captain to fire you.”

“Uh…” the sailor said, before opening the door and addressed the captain. “Sir, there’s a kid that really wants to see you. And he claims he knows Professor Oak.”

“Let him in,” the captain is.

With that, Gary went in.

“Hey there, John,” Gary said, almost as if he knew the captain.

“Hm? Do I know you, sir?” the captain asked.

“No, but you know Gramps,” Gary said, showing his Pokedex.

I am DeeDee, a Pokedex programmed by Professor Oak for Pokemon Trainer Gary Oak,” Gary’s Pokedex beeped.

“My, so you’re Sammy’s grandson,” the captain said. “Alright, then. If there’s anything you’d want, please tell me.”

“Alright,” Gary said. “I’d like to link the Pokedex to the security cameras.”

“Very well, sir,” the captain said. “Proceed.”

Gary didn’t mention that the reason he wanted access to the security cameras was to spy on Ashy-boy, as he suspected Ashy-boy was also going on SS Anne. After all, he recalled Ashy-boy was also going to Bill’s, and Bill had multiple tickets to the SS Anne. The guys at the Trainer conventions were just obsessed with Bill’s opinion.


The SS Anne’s pool allowed Pokemon. This was falling well with Lucy, who let out her Milotic to go for a swim.

“Man, am I glad I decided to go with Crobat, Blissey and the Fossils,” she heard her fiancé. Brock, as he was following her in the water. “The others won’t follow us in the water, and I’m not gonna have Croagunk ruin our vacation.”

“I know; it’s, like, whenever we make out, Croagunk comes and Poison Jabs us,” Lucy said. “It was good back when you were travelling, but now, it’s just an impediment. And his eyes aren’t even squinty.”

Her and her kink for squinty eyes. Again,” Blissey mumbled. “She spent her earnings for the past three months on Everstones.

Hey, look on the bright side,” Crobat said. “At least thanks to Lucy, Brock doesn’t lust for every Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny anymore.

I know, but… why bringing up the fact that Croagunk doesn’t have squinty eyes? Why not the fact Croagunk is a frog? Snakes eat frogs, after all, and Lucy has plenty of Poison-Type snakes that could eat Croagunk without ending up with food poisoning.

That may seem like a simple solution, but simple solutions never work,” Brock’s Kabutops brought up.

Besides, aren’t you supposed to be an indiscriminately caring Pokemon, Blissey?” Brock’s Omastar pointed out.

Yes, I am supposed to be, but Croagunk’s Poison Jabs became really annoying after Brock and Lucy hooked up,” Blissey defended herself.

Let’s all agree to this, everyone,” Crobat said. “This is their vacation, and we don’t want Croagunk to ruin it.

“Now, how about we kiss?” Brock told Lucy.

“Don’t tell me twice,” Lucy said, smashing her lips on Brock’s.

However, their making out only lasted for five seconds until they were hit by a Poison Jab.

Oh, come on!” all of Brock and Lucy’s Pokemon moaned in disbelief after seeing Croagunk not only stowing aboard the ship, but also ruining Brock and Lucy’s vacation.

What? I can’t let them embarrass themselves to the people here,” Croagunk said.

Couldn’t you at least have waited until after they came out of water?! So they won’t, you know, DROWN?!?!” Lucy’s Milotic asked as she was acting as a lifebuoy for Brock and Lucy.

At least they didn’t, did they?” Croagunk said.

“Ugh… you really should release your Croagunk… he always does this,” Lucy said.

How about we give Croagunk to Team Rocket so they’d leave the rest of us alone?” Lucy’s Seviper asked.

Nah, it will bite us in the ass later,” Blissey said.

Now, will you two behave you-OH YOU HAVE TO BE SHITTING ME!!!” Croagunk said before storming to a guy who was making out with not one, but three girls.

“Wha… are those Ash and Misty?” Brock mumbled.

“Who is Ash?” Lucy asked.

“A friend of Misty’s that challenged me a few weeks ago. I… had a feeling that Misty was in love with Ash, and it seems it was correct, but I have no idea how he managed to win two other girls…” And then realization hit Brock: “and Croagunk is gonna ruin their making out session!”

Alright, you four, enough with making out!” Coragunk said, readying a Poison Jab, when suddenly a cloaked man appeared in between himself and his targets.

“Omae wa mou ki o ushinatteiru,” the cloaked figure said.

Nani?!” Croagunk asked, before Mystery Man used Zantetsuken, OHKO-ing Croagunk.

“Nobody ruins my friends’ makeout session!” Mystery Man said, before realizing what he’s been doing interrupted Ash’s makeout session with his girlfriends.

“What-what just happened?” Ash asked.

“Uh… I saved you from a philophobic Croagunk?” Mystery Man said.

“Huff! Puff! Thank you, man!” the group heard Brock huff. “I really don’t want Ash’s moment with his girls to be ruined.”

“Hold up… Brock? Why are you here? Weren’t you at the Gym?” Ash asked.

“My fiancée and I were on a vacation,” Brock explained.

“Wait, you’re engaged, Brock?” Ash asked.

“Well, yes,” Brock said. “Lucy and I are on a vacation.”

“Hi,” Lucy said, in the back.

“Wait… Brock… you and Lucy… engaged?” Ash asked.

“I did tell you this, remember?” Mystery Man said.

“Isn’t she… a Frontier Brain?” Ash asked.

“Well, yes,” Brock said. “In fact, I helped her become one!”

“Come on, Brock, you’re too kind,” Lucy said. “I was the one who helped you realize being a Gym Leader isn’t an impediment to achieving your dream!”

“Brock and Lucy were both in a funk when they first met,” Mystery Man explained. “Brock because of what Lucy said, Lucy because she couldn’t find a date; everyone she’s been dating until Brock were turned off by her height and strength. Numbskulls.”

“So, uh, you want to introduce me to your other two girlfriends, Ash?” Brock said. “I mean, I already know Misty, so…”

“Uh, yeah…” Ash said. “Brock, these are Serena and Giselle.”

“You have really good taste in women, Ash,” Brock said. “Though given how Croagunk tried to Poison Jab you because you were making out with your girlfriends, you really should expect people to tell you to tone it down. Not me, though; I respect a fellow ladiesman!”

“Brock, Lucy is literally the only girl who isn’t turned off by your ladiesman attitude,” Mystery Man said. “He does have a point, though, Ash; many people are turned off by people acting sickeningly sweet to others. Except for those who knew you in, uh… you-know-what, and other girls that will end up crushing on you.”

‘Is that how Brock was feeling when he was travelling with me?’ Ash wondered.

“Wait, how did you know Ash and I are dating?” Misty asked.

“It was fairly obvious; a Gym Leader doesn’t watch every random Trainer’s battles for Badges that they don’t give out; it has to be a close friend, and since you’re the opposite gender, well…” Brock explained.

“Right… so, how you’ve been doing, Brock? Outside of being engaged to Lucy,” Ash inquired.

“Nothing much. You do see a lot of colorful people when you’re a Gym Leader, and someone sent me an Alolan Sandshrew, apparently at random. It gets kinda boring, though. But Lucy and I often go travel in various places. This year, our travel destinations are throughout Kanto. Maybe next year we’re gonna go through Johto?”

“Uh, Brock? I have to tell you something…” Ash said. “It was us and some guy named AJ who sent you that Alolan Sandshrew.”

“Oh, really? I’ve heard about the kid. He puts his Pokemon through extremely intense training. It’s a wonder that training isn’t considered abuse.”

“I suppose he could afford to put them through that training because he knew what he was doing,” Giselle, having been told about AJ, came in. “While he knew the weird, blue creature was a form of Sandshrew, he didn’t knew anything about that particular form of Sandshrew, so him deciding not to put the Alolan Sandshrew through the same training regimen as the rest showed what kind of person truly is.”

“Well then,” Brock said, “see you around, Ash!”



The next day, Jessie, James and Meowth were trying to contact their boss, Don Giovanni, after learning from MissingNo that the SS Anne takeover was prevented via MissingNo making a preemptive strike.

“So you’re saying that, in just two weeks, two Trainers tried to bribe someone associated with the Ketchum name to turn to our side?” Don Giovanni asked.

“Uh… yes, sir?” the Team Rocket Trio said, sheepishly.

Don Giovanni groaned.

“No wonder the guy died,” he then mumbled.

“Sir?”

“The Ketchum name and everyone that considers themselves “friends” to people with the Ketchum name care too much about Pokemon to fall for bribery. To them, Team Rocket’s motto is a berserk button.”

“Is it… how?” Jessie asked, not knowing how her motto would offend a Ketchum.

“’Steal Pokemon for profit. Exploit Pokemon for profit. All Pokemon exist for the glory of Team Rocket.’ That is the motto of Team Rocket, and the Ketchums hate it,” Ariana, the Rocket Admin that Don Giovanni was holding the closest to himself, stated.

“Oh,” the two realized.

“But what about our motto? I mean, my and Jessie’s,” James asked.

“It’s entertaining, so keep using it,” Ariana encouraged.

“Just stay out of trouble,” Don Giovanni said. “You’re lucky you weren’t arrested on the spot when you revealed yourselves like that, so don’t do anything stupid,”

With that, Don Giovanni closed.

“So, uh… there’s gonna be a beauty contest on the ship,” James told Jessie. “Wanna enter?”


In their room, Ash and his three lovers were preparing for sleep. The girls wanted something from Ash.

“Oh, Ash~” Misty said, flirtly. “Could you please take away our virginity~?”

“Wha- what the heck!?” Ash asked. “It’s too soon! We can’t possibly be ready to take our relationship to that step!”

“Aw, but we want to~” Serena said, in the same flirting tone.

“Yeah, but-but what if I got any of you pregnant by accident? We clearly aren’t ready to be parents!” he then asked. His mother did give him the talk. “Look, I promise I’ll start having sex with you girls after the League, but right now we have to focus on our training.”

“Oh, okay, Ash,” Giselle said, somewhat disappointed.


The next day, when Ash woke up, he found himself smothered by the girls’ nearly exposed breasts. He carefully moved them aside so he could get up. On the balcony, he found out that MissingNo was in the suite next to his.

“Ash, you really need to find a way to control your Dominion Bloodline,” MissingNo said.

“What do you mean by that?” Ash asked.

“I won’t sugarcoat it-that deal about you taking the girls’ virginity? You and the girls all really want it. But since the Dominion Bloodline supposedly grants your hearts’ desire, it made the girls want to have sex with you. Good thing you have that strong self-restraint, otherwise we’d be in trouble.”

“You mean I’d have really gotten the girls pregnant if I didn’t refrain myself?”

“Yes, and that’s a problem. Why, you’ll find out soon enough. At least your decision not to do the deed with the girls until after the Pokemon League managed to silence that aspect of the Dominion Bloodline until then.”

“But how can I control my Dominion Bloodline? I mean, I don’t want to make every girl in the world fall in love with me…”

“I understand why; it’s full-on ridiculous. No man could possibly handle that many women. Not without being accused of being a rapist. So you should really control your Dominion Bloodline, and make the girls know you for who you are beyond the Bloodline.”

“Well, Misty and Serena know me well enough, but Giselle… it seems so sudden…”

“She fell in love with you because you’ve forgiven her for her treatment of Joe and Misty, even if you had to open her eyes. Know this, Ash; even without the Dominion Bloodline, you already are someone everyone wants to be friends with.”

“Really? Because I don’t think Cyrus would want to be my friend.”

“I mean everybody who is anybody. Nobody who is nobody cares about being friends with someone who can befriend everybody who’s anybody. Capiche?”

“My head hurts.”

“The idea is, stay true to yourself, and everything should be just fine. For that would make it clear to the Dominion Bloodline that you’re in charge, not it. The history has plenty of Dominion Bloodliners who let themselves controlled by their Bloodline, and it ended up horribly for them.”

“Right. Thanks for that, MissingNo.”


“So, we all in agreement?” Misty asked.

“Yeah, Ash is right; we’re not ready to have children,” Serena said. “So we get ourselves baby Pokemon so we can get ready.”

“Hey, girls,” Ash said, coming in. “I just had to clear my mind for a bit.”

“Alright, Ash,” Serena said. “Let’s enjoy the rest of the vacation.”

However, they didn’t know they were watched. Watched as they were making out, watched as the girls were constantly moaning in pleasure as Ash was playing with their plump tits and butts.

“Ashy-boy, get a room,” Gary said. His cheerleaders were incredibly jealous on Ash and his lovers.

Notes:

Man, I don't think I made that non-lethal "Omae wa mou shindeiru" sound well.
