Ranma - yep, poor Lance. Of course Ash doesn't know…

Counterfeit Lord - wow, thank you for your constructive review.

Tmp - Lorelei and Agatha are solitary, antisocial people with little societal contact. Thaddeus is dead, remember that Lance killed him? So the engagement transfers over to his closest relative, lil' Ash.

Lauren Black - I see.

Pikacar/Marle - don't worry, they will get together! Pokemon list: Weedle/Kakuna/Beedrill (male) Chikorita (female) Chikki Mereep/Flaafy/Ampharos (male) Lightning Scyther (male) Poliwag/Poliwhirl (male) Spearow (male)

Nikki and Crystal wind - hey! You guys didn't review this chapter! And you're the ones bugging me to update! *GLARE*

Severus' Potion Mistress - update coming. Lance can't die that easily.

Extra chapter: Ash's first date

"Spearow, Drill Peck, now!"

Ash's Spearow fluffed up, grinned, and pecked the opponent Hitmonchan to smithereens. Ash grinned.

The pink-haired girl sighed and withdrew her pokemon. "Wow…"

"Good match." Ash said.

The girl was still staring at him. "You're a good trainer."

"You are too."

"Would you like to go out with me?"

Ash blinked. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, on a date."

"A date?"

"Where a boy and a girl do stuff together."

Ash still looked a tad confused, but he nodded.

"Great! Here's my address." Kelly said, handing him a scrap of paper. "I'll be waiting at six-thirty."

And then she left, leaving Ash to wonder what he had gotten into.

Lance looked at him critically. "Ash, you can't wear jeans and a t-shirt."

"Why not?"

"Because, if you're trying to impress a girl, you want to look nice."

Ash blinked.

Lance dragged him over to her closet. "Here, take this." She pulled out a pair of dark blue pants and a dark blue top. There were little stars around the fringes in gold.

"Wow…"

"Now go put them on." Lance said, shoving Ash into the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Ash came out.

"Not bad." Lance said, clapping.

Ash blushed. "You think so?"

Lance nodded. "Whoever she is, she's a very lucky girl." She closed her eyes for a second, telling her mind to shut up.

"Well, I should get going."

Lance waved goodbye to Ash. She waited until he was gone before she let her emotions out.

Elsewhere…

*CRASH*

< CALM DOWN! >

< I'm trying to! >

< No you're not! >

Lance sighed. < All right. I'm taking some sleeping pills and going to bed. >

Meanwhile…

"Hi!" Kelly said chirpily.

"Hi." Ash said. "So, um… are you ready?"

"Yep! Let's go to the movies!"

"Ok…"

Ash was feeling nervous, never having had contact with a girl before. And with the recent Team Rocket attacks, maybe it wasn't the best thing, but…

He wanted to be normal. Besides, hopefully team rocket wouldn't attack.

Kelly dragged Ash down the street to the theater where Titanic was being shown. Ash paid for the tickets and snacks, and then they entered the theater. As soon as the movie started, Kelly became enraptured. Ash felt bored.

* This is such a stupid story…. *

They were thirty minutes into the movie when Kelly said that she had to go to the bathroom. Ash shrugged and waited for her to come back.

The bathroom…

"Is that him?"

"Yes, boss."

"Good. Prepare the sleeping injection."

"Yes sir."

Kelly prepared the needle and prepared to attack.

Ash looked up when Kelly returned.

Kelly focused her attention on the movie again. Ash began to drift in and out of consciousness, as he was getting very bored. It was on one of his out periods when Kelly attacked. She swiftly plunged the needle into his arm and waited for the drug to take action.

Meanwhile…

Lance wrapped herself in a cloak of invisibility and looked around. * Let's see… did Ash tell me where he was going? He said something about movies… *

She shrugged and entered the first movie theater. Fortunately, it was the right one. Lance looked around and cast out her senses for his chi, before she finally pinpointed the exact location. * Screen four… all right. *

She slid in like a shadow, and glanced around for Ash.

Back with Ash and Kelly…

"What-" Ash didn't get to say anything else, because the knock out drug worked extremely fast and he fainted.

Kelly grinned. * Team Rocket is way out of your league. * She began quietly shifting Ash off the seat.

Ash moaned something in his sleep and tossed fitfully.

"Quiet, you." Kelly hissed as she attempted to get him onto the floor so he wouldn't attract any attention.

Ash continued to mumble incoherently. Kelly sighed.

* Why did I get stuck with this job? *

Lance narrowed her eyes as Ash's chi suddenly damped. * Paralysis or sleep… * She quietly walked over to where he was.

Just in time to see Kelly trying to drag him out.

Lance's eyes flashed angrily as she scanned Kelly's mind. * So. Team Rocket has discovered his identity. I'll have to warn him to be more careful. * She nodded to herself and released Charmander.

'Charmander, Slash now."'

"OW!" Kelly screamed as she felt something slash her arm. "What the!?"

Charmander roared and breathed out a Flamethrower attack.

"HELP! I'm on FIRE!" She cried.

Lance chuckled quietly to herself. * No use… because I've cloaked us in an illusion of nothingness."

The people in the theater looked around, but saw absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

Lance smiled. "Now use Dragonbreath."

Kelly let out a truly horrifying shriek as she was vaporized. Then, she became nothing.

Lance picked up Ash and teleported back to the cave. When Ash woke up, his head throbbed like crazy. "What happened?"

"The girl you asked out was a Team Rocket agent." Lance said. "Couldn't you sense her aura?"

"I…" Ash flushed, embarrassed that he hadn't thought of it.

Lance narrowed her eyes. "Lucky I had a bad feeling and decided to check up on you. Otherwise, what would have happened?"

"Sorry, Lance-chan…"

Lance sighed. "It's okay. Just be more careful from now on."

Ash nodded. Then, he went to bed.

Lance tucked him in and smiled. * Careful, Thunder's child. You were always the most innocent and naïve. You must be on your guard. I will not always be here to protect you… *

End chapter!

Remember, review or I won't update…
