To Throw a Rock
Chapter Two
By Meggie

Misty and Brock managed to get Ash away from the play palace, and from McDonalds after a bit of a struggle. But once they were in the street, all was forgotten by Ash -- it was as if it never happened at all.

But if you're wondering what happened with McCheese and the Hamburgler, well, I'll tell you. After a while, the Concerned Soccer Mom's figured it was time to stop fighting with each other, and to start kicking ass up in the play palace. They complained to the manager of the resturaunt, and told him that they couldn't get to their children, because there as they heard from the cry of a little boy, Mayor McCheese was being hurt. So obviously, the manager had no choice but to go into the play palace, and see what was happening. 'Damn,' he thought, 'some brat cries wolf, and I have to crawl on my hands and knees in a pee filled child's play set.' Which was pretty much accurate. When he got to McCheese and the Hamburgler, they had finished the act, and were smoking pot. Even giving some out to the children.

"What in God's name are you two doing? And how did you get your big heads in here?" questioned the manager.

"No worries, man. We just made sweet love, and now we share our wealth with the children," said Mayor McCheese.

"Okay, well, you're going to have to get out of here now. I don't want to end up going to court, I just want to go to a nice hotel and sleep with my girlfriend." said the manager.

"OK." said the Hamburgler and McCheese in unison. And so they left.

"So, where are you guys taking me?" asked Ash. They were actually pretty close to a bar where they don't question your age, so long as you have money.

"Don't ask. When we get to the place, you keep your mouth shut, and don't say anything either." Brock demanded.

So he did. When they came into the bar, Brock tossed the happy meal at Ash, and told him to eat in silence, and not to look at anyone unless totally necessary. So he did. The seats were uncomfortable, and he didn't know why they were at such a smelly place, but this was something that was important to his friends, so it was important to him, too.

A big woman, who resembled a man in a dress came up to where they sat, and asked them what they wanted. Ash was very tempted to ask for another coke, because his was almost empty, but then he remember what his best friend told him. So he kept his mouth shut. Besides, Brock ordered for all three of them anyway. Ash thought the name of the drink was kind of funny sounding, but he was very glad to get something anyway. So when they got their drinks, Ash didn't think twice about what was in his cup. He just felt really nice. Really, really nice. Everything was fuzzy, and he thought... He was thinking much of anything. He just laughed, and laughed, and laughed. Brock laughed, too. Misty didn't laugh, though. She looked kind of woozy. But that didn't bother him, because he was happy! But now Misty was starting to look mean. She had a really twisted smile on her face, and then she spoke to him.

"Why don't you get up on the table and dance, Ash?" she said.

That actually sounded like a pretty good idea to Ash! So he did! He got up on the table, and started doing the robot! He was laughing, and the people in the bar were laughing, and he had another drink, and started doing cartwheels, and everyone was happy. Then Tracey walked into the bar, unexpectedly, but Ash didn't know it was Tracey. He thought it was a really attractive girl. And when Tracey started kissing Ash, Ash didn't really mind it. And when Tracey took off his shirt, Ash didn't really mind what he saw. And when Ash was feeling up Tracey's man boobs, he didn't mind that much either. But now he needed to pee, so he pushed Tracey away, and stumbled his way to the little boy's room.

Little did he know that Misty was following him. She didn't go into the bathroom. No, she just hung outside of it, and she thought it was a one stall bathroom, so it would be just Ash in there. So she took the opportunity to tell him how she felt about him. 'Hey,' she thought, 'time as good as any.'

"I love you. I love you so much, I would give up everything for you. I didn't know it, but long ago when you took my bike, I did give up everything for you. I love the way you love your pokemon, I love the way you fight in a pokemon battle, I love the way you act when you're around Gary. I love your stupidity, and child like innocence. I have loved you since I first saw you, and I know now that I always will." Misty said, tears swelling up in her eyes.

And then a toilet flushed, and out stepped a big man in a dress. The same one that served them.

"Oh red headed girl, I love you too! If only I had known how you felt about me, I would have let you had that drink for free. And I would have whisked you away to my loft of passion. But now that I know you love me, we can do that now. Come with me, my princess, and we'll never part." said the man.

Then he nelt down, and kissed her. Frankly, Misty was stunned. She was also pretty disgusted. No alcohol could mask what had just happened, and she knew now that she had to get away, and fast.

She broke away from his kiss, and said, "Umm.. lover, yeah, that's it... Lover er... Boy, I need to go tell my friend that I'm leaving, and I need to use the little girl's room before you whisk me away."

With that, she rushed to where Brock was, who was currently receiving a lap dance from Tracey, and dragged him with her to the little girls room. Misty found a window in there, and shoved Brock through it, and then herself. Then she remembered Ash. Crap! She just had to hope he was still in the bathroom. She knew that there was NO WAY she was going to go back into the bar, for fear the the man in a dress might see her. So she would just have to go around the back of the bar, and look for the window in the boy's bathroom. Misty found it, and she didn't really think about looking after Brock. She thought he was probably too drunk to go do any damage. So she climbed through the window, and found a giggling Ash using a urinal. She figured she probably could have used this as a chance to do something, but even Misty has morals. She tried to explain to Ash what was going on, but they were both kind of drunk, so she just dragged him to the window and heaved him through it. Then they stumbled their way back to where Misty left Brock.

They couldn't find Brock. Leave it to Misty to leave a drunk and horny guy alone outside at night. Yeah, like he WOULDN'T run off. Now Ash and Misty just had to think of where he might be. OK, so just Misty, because Ash was really clueless about that kind of thing. And then she saw him. He was with a woman in an alley. Misty couldn't really imagine what he was doing, considering her current state. She squinted her eyes to see better, then figured it would just be better to go over there. So she grabbed Ash, and they went to where Brock was.

Brock was with a whore. But really, it wasn't actually his fault. Really. OK, so maybe it was, but he was drunk. It's not like he would remember it or anything. Then Brock and the whore saw Ash and Misty.

"What are you two doing? I don't do special requests. If you wanted a foursome, you'll have to go talk to my pimp," said the whore.

She was really in a bad mood, because she wanted to go to a nice hotel, and sleep with her 'boyfriend'. This was really inconvenient.

"You know what? Forget this shit. I could be earning better money right now. Give me my $5, and I'm leaving," comanded the whore.

So Brock did. Ash and Misty were about to drag Brock back to the Pokemon center (which was still open, luckily), when there was a rip in the sky, and a very, very bright light shone.
