May the Princess of Performers

Legend has it that a team of extraordinary adventurers possessing powers far beyond understanding or imagination will soon arise and save the world from an evil force...

Still moving on their adventures to the land of Antias, Satoshi and his friends sail onward on their barge. Satoshi sat on the top of the barge to ponder about his past exploits and adventures. Kasumi watched the water as it calmed her senses. Brock was busy making breakfast (pretty talented with human-sized cooking utensils). Finally, Daisuke has gained a stomach for the ocean so he wouldn't throw up anymore. Mina wants to hear more about her first eldest brother's adventures.

What was interesting so far to Daisuke is the brunette girl stroking through Ash's thick mane of black hair. Her brown hair has two long beautiful wing-like bangs (which framed her delicate and angelic face) and a ponytail in the likeness of a Ponyta (except for the color), which reached past her shoulders. That girl is extremely well endowed (certainly not lacking in the breast department) with curves and lines that any fashion model would kill for.

What made her not human are her ears and wings, her ears basically look like she's of elven descend but her wings are definitely pixie-like, rainbow-colored and sheer, like a Beautifly. Plus she's got a few golden dragon scales on the left side of her neck that seemed to be a part of herself. But Daisuke didn't mind any of that at all.

She's wearing a pure white cleavage shirt with a pink ribbon (over the left shoulder area (like a flower)), a sky-blue short skirt with a sky-blue ribbon (on top of the back of skirt (like butterfly wings)), a pair of silver pearl-like gloves (that reach from her knuckles up to her elbows, exposing the fingers and palms), pink knee-length boots, a sky-blue tail collar on the uniform, a pink necklace with a golden & ruby ring, a gold hair band, a pair of silver wing earrings, and a pair of rainbow wing combs!

Daisuke thought of something very fiendish (think of the date of 12/11/1941), as a half-demon and that half being with fox demon blood, he is capable of transforming into an exact duplicate of his own brother!

(AN: Since Japanese legend has it that the 9-taled fox, the Kyuubi, has the power of shapeshifting.)

As soon as his brother left the girl to get some breakfast, Daisuke silently said, "Transform." And surprisingly, he turned into an exact duplicate of his brother and snuck up on the girl! He knows her as Haruka, a princess from the land of Hotaru (that is this story's version of Hoenn), or 'May' for short. He grabbed her behind softly from behind!

Haruka shrieked a little and looked behind her, thinking Dash was Ash, she sighed with relief, "Satoshi, I knew you are straight forward, but I'm not that kind of girl. Well, I am that kind of girl, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that sort of thing." Dash said in his brother's voice as he licked her (don't ask where), "I'm sure you are." When they heard the real Satoshi saying, "She is ready, I've checked her race for appropriate age for physical pleasure, Daisuke."

Dash looked behind him and found his brother, looking peeved. Now that she knows who's the one who's groping her and what he's capable of, May screamed and slapped Dash into submission! Misty and the others came to see and found Dash (in his normal form) on the ground alongside of Ash's breakfast and May fondling Ash! Mina asks Misty, "How was this like?" Ash sighed as Haruka forced him to grab her own behind, before he told another story of his adventures when he was younger; "3 years ago, before I entered Hotaru to improve my skills; me and my friends, Kasumi & Brock, had to say good-bye to each other for a while."

Kasumi helped out, "I gave him a pink handkerchief and Brock gave him a lunch before leaving." Brock smiled, "With matching cutlery." Dash got up, "I heard this story from one of your letters. You met up with this entertainment princess." Satoshi snickered up a hilarious plan and grabbed his brother, Dash's face got curious, "What are you doing?"

Ash picked him up into the air, ran to the ship's starboard side bow, and pretended to dump him! Dash panicked and chanted "NO!" continuously! Haruka told her story to little Mina, "You see, before I met up with your brother, I was still the princess of Hotaru, even though I still am now. But all I wanted was to travel the world, I ran away from home to fulfill my dream. But there was a problem, I still needed an occupation and I didn't like Pokémon. But traveling, I just love it."

As soon as his brother behaved, Satoshi came up, "My Pikachu was sick from another one of Jessie, James, & Myoga's past blunders at that time." James added, "From an overload we gave him with use of an overloaded Lightning Stone (sort of an ancient magic battery) next to a loadstone (kind of like a magnetic rock)." Jessie followed, "When we tried to drain him of electricity to make him helpless, we just cured him."

Satoshi said, "When he was about to unleash his Shock Kaboom attack upon them, I noticed she was in danger so I grabbed her and gave her cover from the attack." Pikachu munched on apple and nodded, "Pika." Haruka sighed, "I thought he meant to take advantage of a 10-year-old rainbow nymph fairy/gold dragon-man crossbreed child, so I didn't like him and wanted justice. Later, after I got my first Pokémon, a Torchic, and my class as an entertainer, I noticed he has a good heart."

Ash commented, "I would've let her on her own years ago, but I liked her a lot, aside from the fact she had a big chest as a kid (talking to Daisuke), plus she needed advice." May smiled and held him in her arms.

Flashback, 4 years ago, in Petal Village (Poké-D&D version of Petalburg City)...

A 13-year-old Satoshi & 10-year-old Haruka went into the town of Haruka's birth. She noticed this and at a playground, she said to Ash, "I'm going to go for a few things." Ash shrugged it off like it was nothing, "Okay." Then he thought about what the Gym Leader's like, "I wonder if the Gym Leader, Norman, in this town is anything like in the scroll." May turned and asked, "What scroll?" Satoshi showed her the scroll he looked through! It is a complete guide of Hotaru, including mini-biographies of Gym Leaders! She asked him, "Where did you get this?" Ash replied, "In Violet City, I wanted to know about my opponents before actually facing them."

May blushed with embarrassment and said, "I'm sure that Norman's a nice, kind, and handsome guy." Satoshi said, "Really? I've heard he is the descendant of a great king before all this happened. You seem to know a lot about this guy." May got nervous and flew away!

Satoshi got the Gym, as he entered, no one was found. After looking around the place for a minute, he still found nobody around. Surprised, a small boy dressed in green silk jumped onto his chest, almost making him fall onto his back!

The boy is small for his size but very strong! He seemed like a normal human boy with wavy dark blue hair, but what got Satoshi by surprise is that the small boy has a few golden dragon scales on the sides of his neck and elf-like pointy ears, as well as a pair of golden dragon-like wings on his back! He hugged and said to the bigger Satoshi, "Hey, big brother!"

Satoshi asked him, "Who are you, little fella? I know you're not Daisuke or Mina." The little boy's right hand has a lot of golden scales and black nails; Satoshi noticed this, because the little dragon-boy's stroking his long mane of hair, leading up to his wolf ears on top of his head!

The boy asked, "What are these leathery things? They feel alive." Then the little guy got off of Satoshi, pulled out a pair of glasses, and placed them on. Satoshi asked the young one, "You're half-dragon aren't you?" Now knowing who the bigger guy is, he pointed at him and said, "It's you! Satoshi Ketchumeréz! With an alias of... Soot!" Satoshi sweat-dropped and face-faulted, "Actually, it's Ash."

The little boy continued, "And you're a half-demon paladin!" Satoshi sighed, "At least your one of the few who truly understand what I truly am. Now if you don't mind, I have to find Lord Norman and have a small piece of advice before the upcoming new moon."

The little one said, "What are you talking about? There's no need to be worrying about going around for advice." Ash sternly looked at the boy and said, "I'm a little more worried about the safety of others, in case you didn't know this; once a month in every demon crossbreed's life, those are times when their demon powers and blood ebb away. Meaning, when there is no moon in the sky, I will no longer be a half-demon!"

The boy was oblivious and excited, so he placed words into the older boy's mouth, "How interesting! It must be interesting having extra powers!" Satoshi, feeling frustrated that he's not listening to anything he's precisely saying, turned around and said, "I think I'll head off to head off for the next town." The dragon kid grabbed onto one of Satoshi's ears and wouldn't let go!

Satoshi frowned, "Why won't you just let me go?" The little fella responded, "You can't leave until we battle!" Satoshi asked, "Who'd want to battle an innocent?" Pikachu agreed, "Pika!" Ash continued, "Besides you're too young and don't have a single Poké-Scroll on you!"

Satoshi noticed the flutter of wings nearby the little boy's head and— BAM! Something was landed onto the little boy's head! Finally he lets go! As he got up from the floor, holding his throbbing head... he noticed a miniscule Haruka flying into his face!

"Haruka!" Satoshi noticed Haruka, at her tiny size, and asked, "What's with the rescue, May?" May returned to her true size and held onto Ash's left arm, "How dare you attack, Satoshi, Masato!" Masato, apparently the name of the young boy, shouted back, "How dare you run away from home, Mom and Dad almost lost it!"

As the two continue to argue, Satoshi had enough and howled out, "QUIET!" Finally, they settled down. Pikachu tugged on his breech leg, Satoshi said, "Oh no!" and ran out the door! May frowned at the little boy and shouted, "Now look what our arguing has done, Max (Masato's nickname), now he's going to hate me!"

Back at the playground, Satoshi sat alone with Pikachu, placing a hood over his head! May and Max found him, because she recognizes his clothes and Pikachu! Max reaches to pull onto Satoshi's wolf ears again, but he only pulled off the hood, which revealed that his wolf ears changed into a human form! He glared at Masato with human eyes!

Masato smiled, "What an awesome transformation!" Satoshi shouted at the little boy again, "TRANSFORMATION? WHAT TRANSFORMATION? I NEVER PRACTICED ON MY TRANSFORMATION ABILITY, EVER!" Masato finally got the message as he flinched, "Sorry, I thought you were trying to be nice to me."

Haruka gasped in horror as she looked at Satoshi in what appeared to be human form, "Satoshi, is that really you? You look almost human." Satoshi shouted, "ALMOST HUMAN? I've got no fangs, no claws, I don't know what other race I've got in my veins, it's hard enough as it is. But I'm 100 percent sure that I'm not human now!"

Haruka asked, "Can you tell me how did this happen?" Satoshi nodded and explained (softly), "Once a month in every demon crossbreed's life, those are times when their demon powers and blood ebb away. Meaning, when there is no moon in the sky, I'm no longer half-demon until dawn." Masato asked, "Why didn't you say so before, Lord Satoshi?" Satoshi explained, "I've tried to but you only wanted to listen to what you'd want to hear! You've placed words into my mouth and that's just rude!"

A male adult voice replied from the background, "Such an eager child, isn't my son one?" Satoshi sighed, "Yes, he seems to be." Ash notices someone else is there and turns to face it! It's an older golden dragon-human crossbreed version of Masato, Satoshi recognizes him from a scroll, "Lord Norman?"

Haruka magically concealed her wings and hid behind Satoshi! Masato said, "Hi, Dad!" Satoshi closed his eyes and face-faulted; "I should've skipped this town while I had a chance." Norman looked behind Ash and found May, "Haruka, where have you been?"

The jig was up for Haruka; she stepped out from behind Satoshi and explained, "You see, all I want is to travel the world, that's why I ran away from home, to fulfill my dream. But there was a problem, I still needed an occupation and I don't like Pokémon much. But I just love to travel."

A woman with brown hair and Beautifly wings on her back came by, she said to May, "You could've told us that you're not feeling right about being in royalty and that you want to see the world." She noticed Satoshi and asked, "Who is this fine young man?" Satoshi didn't bother to look but just replied, "Satoshi, Satoshi Ketchumeréz. In an unknown race form."

Norman patted Satoshi's back gently, "There's nothing to worry about. Have you upheld the law though back where you come from?" Satoshi quietly answers, "Yes and I believe that I'm most vulnerable under the new moon." Haruka cuddles closer to Satoshi, where their hips met. She said to him, "I don't care what form you are in, you are still very cute."

Ash blushed as red as a tomato! Satoshi asks, "What abilities do I have when I'm a paladin, if I don't know what abilities my other half is?" Norman asks, "How long have you trained yourself as well as your Pokémon?" The paladin answers, "I believe reached the 12th paladin level as well as a few of the other classes, in low class. I've been through 3 Pokémon Leagues and I'm starting my forth." Satoshi nervously chuckled.

Haruka's mother patted his spare shoulder, "Then you have the same capabilities of all adventurers in the world, no matter what form you're in." Norman asks, "How about I train you a bit more on your strength until sunrise?" Satoshi agreed.

Masato watched Satoshi train himself and his Pokémon against his father's throughout the night! Not willing to let up, Satoshi kept fighting regardless of all odds, even exhaustion! Even without his demon powers, Haruka is surprised that his mysterious other half is about as strong as any demon, maybe even stronger!

The three rogues that followed him for years came along, disrupting the battle a little, but Satoshi & his Pikachu pounded them away into the opposite direction in frustration.

As dawn rose, a few seconds passed before Satoshi's ears morphed back into his wolf ears; meaning he's back to half-demon (and half-whatever) again! A wolf demon claw attack here, a golden dragon claw attack there, a thunderbolt attack here, a fury swipes attack there; the battle didn't let up since last night!

Being fair, Satoshi decided to rest and let the battle end. Norman said to him, "Not bad, not bad at all. You've got the potential indeed!" Satoshi pleaded, "I'll receive the Badge later, right now I must go battle on in this country's league!" Haruka asked her father, "Is it okay if I joined him?" Her parents agreed. Masato decided to join them both.

Back to the present day, on that ferry at the end of that story, Masato (now 12 years old) is beating the stuffing out of Daisuke! "How dare you try to seduce my sister?" Daisuke pleaded to forgiveness, "I can't help it!"

Haruka and Satoshi got into a private place, where they kissed (French), as they did, many times in the past.
