"Hey, Brock, it's about time to head back. There's no Continental Hotel here; we're staying at the Pokémon Center!" After Ash and Elesa returned from having a great time, they noticed that Brock had been staring at the Shion Rock the entire time.
"It's fine, I'm an adult, so don't worry about me." Brock didn't even turn his head, just kept staring at the Shion Rock. Seeing this, Ash, who was used to Brock's antics, could only say helplessly, "You say that as if you've already lost your virginity."
Duang!
Brock was instantly knocked down by Ash's words, while Elesa, blushing, pinched Ash's ear and dragged him back.
"Really, you're so shameless!"
Misty covered Yellow's ears and shouted, "Don't say these things in front of Yellow!"
After that, the group made their way noisily to the Pokémon Center.
That night, after delivering dinner to Brock, Ash reminded him, "Don't stay out too late. I have a bad feeling about this place." As he spoke, Ash handed Brock a blanket and said, "Here, it's chilly at night. Don't catch a cold. Come back early; this place really feels off."
For some reason, Ash felt like he was being watched. Brock, while eating, replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll just watch for a little longer."
Seeing Brock like this, Ash could only exchange a helpless glance with Meowth before heading back.
"Meowth, I keep feeling like someone's watching me, and it definitely doesn't feel like a Pokémon."
Hearing this, Meowth jumped onto Ash's shoulder and began scanning the area. He then took out a device to detect any signals but eventually shook his head and said, "No reaction, boss. There's no one around, meow."
"Really? Maybe I'm just imagining things. Let's head back. I've got something to do with Elesa tonight anyway." Ash's smile was impossible to hide, while Meowth just looked at his boss in exasperation.
Finally, by 11 PM, the curfew time at the Pokémon Center, Brock still hadn't returned. But thinking that Brock could take care of himself, Ash chose to prioritize his wife over his friend.
"Pikachu, I condemn your behavior of prioritizing romance over friendship, but given that it's about your future happiness, I won't say more. I'll allow you to go find Yellow's Pichu, but make sure Meowth keeps an eye on you."
"Pika…" (I'd believe you if you weren't carrying Elesa in your arms.)
Pikachu glanced at Ash, who was carrying Elesa in a princess carry, sighed at his friend's priorities, and happily went off to find Pichu. Meanwhile, Ash locked the door and immediately began his nightlife.
The next morning, since Elesa was tired from the previous day, Ash had to bring her breakfast. Nurse Joy, smiling, prepared some energy-boosting food while commenting, "Ah, youth is wonderful."
After Elesa woke up, Ash finally remembered something.
"By the way, where's Brock?"
"Don't know. I just woke up. I'm still tired after last night's… activities." Elesa, seeing that there weren't many people around, spoke quite directly, causing Misty to quickly cover Yellow's ears while Ash silently massaged her shoulders and said, "You worked hard last night."
"Ash, please don't say these things in front of Yellow!"
Duang!
"Good thing I had Meowth plant a tracker on Brock. Now we just need to find him." With a bump on his head, Ash took the tracker, held Yellow's hand, and led the group to find Brock, while Misty and Elesa followed, trying to suppress their laughter.
"Ash-brother, do you think there are really ghosts here?"
Yellow, being young, was still a bit afraid of ghosts. Seeing her fear, Ash gently squeezed her hand and said, "Since there are Ghost-type Pokémon, it's normal for human ghosts to exist too. But don't worry, it's daytime now. Ghosts usually don't come out during the day."
With Ash's reassurance and the warmth from his hand, Yellow felt much more at ease.
With the help of Meowth's detection tools, the four of them arrived at the Shion Shrine.
"Is he inside?"
"That's right, meow."
"Brock! Wake up! Oh my! Sorry to interrupt!"
When Ash pushed open the door, the scene before his eyes was utterly horrifying. Brock and James were hugging each other, 'gnawing' at each other with great enthusiasm. Ash immediately closed the door.
"Oh my god, that's too much. Has Brock finally given up on older women and started liking men?!"
Elesa, Misty, and Yellow looked at Ash, confused. Elesa then asked, "What's wrong? Isn't Brock there?"
"He's not only there, but he's also with James. Let's not disturb them. They're doing just fine. It's too eye-burning. Quick, Elesa, Misty, Yellow, let me look at you! I need to purify my eyes."
Hearing Ash's words, Jessie and Meowth, who had been searching for James, rushed toward the shrine.
"James, we're here to save you! Ahhh!!!"
As Jessie opened the shrine door, the shocking scene inside made her scream. Ash quickly shielded Elesa, Misty, and Yellow behind him, just in case Brock and James decided to self-destruct after being caught in the act.
However, Ash's worries were unnecessary. Brock and James, as if entranced, continued to hug each other. Seeing this, Ash turned to Chansey and said, "Chansey, use Double Slap!"
Chansey grabbed Brock and James and began slapping them furiously, the sound echoing loudly. After their faces were thoroughly swollen, they finally regained consciousness.
"Ah? I'm Brock!"
"I'm James, from Team Rocket!"
Seeing that the two, despite their swollen faces, had finally returned to normal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, the old woman from earlier walked out and said, "As I feared, what I was worried about has happened."
Seeing Gastly approach, Ash thought for a moment, and then an idea began to form.
