Maybe that weird weekend was a sign of things to come. You're going to end up with nothing but Pikachus at this rate!
[He reaches up to put a hand on Amicitia who let's out a rumble-y little greeting.]
This is Amicitia, the third member of the terrible trio.
[Both Noct and Amicitia watch as Ash is coaxed into sitting and it's the 'Chaaaa' that gets a snicker out of the prince. Oh man this is priceless. What is it with these Pikachu?]
Maybe. I have no idea. I've never even run into a Pikachu in the wild.
[ Ash just laughed. Of course he'd collect weird and wonderful Pokemon. He had some normal Pokemon...but at this rate his team was basically "the Good, the Bad and the Adorable Weirdos". ]
Shit, you think they're gonna teach me beach wisdoms? Like, how the surf beats against the coast like a pulse or something, cos the ocean's totally alive dude.
[ He'd meant it as a joke, but the Pikachu's eyes lit up and some of the others gave low gasps. They squeaked to each other and the one in front of Ash clapped. 'Like, that's totally right on bro!' They scooted a bit closer, all paying keen attention. ]
[And now it's time for Noctis just to start laughing outright, keeping a hand on Amicitia to keep him from falling off--not that the plush-like Pokemon seems to care much.]
Oh man you are totally a guru now! Have fun being adopted by surfing Pikachus, Ash! I'll miss you!
tbh I had no idea where to go with this but this sure is where it's gone
[ How very dare Noctis, leaving Ash to be turned into a Pikachu and taken in a colony of surfer dudes and dudettes! ] I will send this army at you, man! I'll tell em how you're all about serving the Man and how you break everyone's mellow!
[ Another gasp! Who's serving THE MAN? Now Ash's Gear is taken from him and he's replaced by three Pikachus all looking at who is doing the thing. Is it the dude or the Stufful? ]
[ Is Ash laughing in the background like a jackass? Is the Pope Catholic?
The Pikachus begin to talk with Amicitia, and with Noctis who can't understand them. ]
Woah, hey dude. You sure are fluffy. You ain't a mellow breaker, are ya? The only things we break around here are our chains to material society. Yeah man. How'd you end up with each other?
That's rad. We don't believe in 'trainers'. Pokeballs are just tools to keep Pokemon inside, instead of being out with the wind and the waves. A wrestler? Oh, like the chick with this guy? An Tintreach? She's cool. She's living her dream man. People say a Pikachu can't wrestle? She don't care, she's gonna do it. Yeah, she's like us. People think a Pikachu wouldn't enjoy the waves, but we come here every year for the sweet surfing at this beach. We're living our dreams, man!
[ Ash managed to get hold of his gear, although two Pikachus are still popping up from the bottom of the screen. ]
[Amicitia rumbled in amusement, patting Noct's head with a paw.]
Trainers mean free food and traveling the world though. It's not all bad. [His ears perk some.] An Tintreach is the best! She's our mentor! We're going to fight like her someday! Me and Crowe and Kitty!
I feel like they're talking about us.
[Rubbing the Stufful's ears and earning himself a pleased grunt, Noctis snickers softly.]
Clearly you gotta come with me next time me go anywhere Pikachus are supposed to be. [ Since he's apparently a magnet for bright yellow electric mice. ]
You don't need a trainer for that, we travel anyway little dude! She's your mentor? She didn't tell us she was a kahuna!
Man they might be. It's kinda weird to think they're just, having their own little conversations that we don't get...bit like how me and my family would use Irish at times and nobody knew what we were saying. [ The idea had suddenly struck him. He'd never really thought about what it was like for his friends, when they couldn't understand him and his Dad talking sometimes. The Pikachus turned to Ash and reached for his pokeballs, to find the one with An Tintreach in it ] Hey, wait up-
[ To each their own, as it were. There was a flash and An Tintreach popped up with the other two Pikachus. She looked at the screen, saw The Flying Bear, and her eyes lit up. She jumped onto Ash so she could see clearly, waving to the Stufful ]
Flying Bear!! You've been keeping up on your training?
[ Ash just smiled and rubbed the top of her head. ] Hey An Tintreach. I mean, I'm kinda used to it. Like I said, me and my Dad would use Irish at home and when we were out and about at times, so I'm guessing this is just what it's like on the other side of that.
...Wait, when did you meet Noctis' stuffed plushie mon? [ He doesn't remember introducing An Tintreach to Amicitia, partly cos he hasn't seen him before much himself. ]
[Amicitia perks up at the sight of his mentor, attempting to stand up on Noctis's head which has the prince wincing and reaching up to try and stop him.]
Hey--
An Tintreach! I've gotten stronger! So have Kitty and Crowe! We're going to be the best wrestlers ever! [He pauses, swaying on top of Noct's head.] Well, not better than you but second best!
Apparently they met when we weren't around because I never see him get this excited unless it involves my Larvitar and Tyrunt.
[ Ash laughed brightly as An Tintreach beamed and held her tiny fists up gleefully ]
Looks like we just can't stop our Pokemon being friends, huh?
I can't wait to see you guys in action and fight with you! I gotta show you my new move; I've been training every day to nail it and to get strong. And hey, you can be just as good as me. If your fighting spirit is as strong as mine!
[ Ash couldn't understand her, but he could feel her getting pumped and see her thump her chest. He ruffled the top of her head. God, he loved this Pokemon. ]
The best in the world! We'll be legends! [ The Legendary Trio of the Cruncher, the Flying Bear and the Catastrophe, with their mentor, The Lightning herself! ]
[ Ash can't help laughing ]
Good point; my Gallade teaching your Sneasel how to be a knight and all. How terrible! ...but at least T-Pain hasn't gotten anywhere near your younger Pokemon.
[ An Tintreach is so proud, she can't help laughing eagerly. ] And someday, there'll be Pokemon who were once like us! They'll hear our stories and decide to be legends too!
He's the ringleader. I know he is; Macavity and Kinnagoe both talk with him before things suddenly appear. [ Ash lowered his voice ] I found him holding onto this rock the other day. No idea where he's gotten it, but I found a picture of it in the Goldenrod Department Store catalogue. It's called a King's Rock. I'll bet gold to potatoes he nicked it somehow.
[ An Tintreach just beamed, unable to hide her joy. ] I just started this...without you guys, it'd just be me by myself. And it's way more fun with friends to wrestle!
I told ya man; he wasn't upset at all when I took him from Azalea!
Criminal slowpokes, all these Pikachus...I don't even know what I'm doing man.
[ Speaking of the Pikachus, they were clearly quite impressed by An Tintreach. The one who had spoken to Ash stepped forward again, leaning on Ash's leg to watch the conversation. An Tintreach nodded to him and then to Amictia. ]
It's totally my pleasure! Thank YOU for being my pupil!

snickersnorts this is the best
[Noctis blinks as suddenly there are three Pikachus in view, the prince torn between grinning and being worried.]
Uh..hey guys.
[On his head, Amicitia let's out another rumble, lifting a paw in a wave. Hello, surfer-chus!]

[It's said in a rather lazy sounding manner, Amicitia a pretty lazy Pokemon most of the time.
Except when wrestling.]
He's my friend. Asked me to go with him so I did. Now I'm a wrestler!

[He and Ash haven't gotten a chance to go on some sort of idiotic adventure and honestly Noctis thinks that's just a damn shame.]
I like having a trainer. I have lots of friends to travel with.
[Amicitia looks pretty pleased about belonging to someone, honestly.]
Yeah I wonder about that sort of thing. I know it goes on all the time with my Pokemon and sometimes I really wish I knew what they were saying.

Easy there, buddy!

[ He says with a playful grin...as An Tintreach beams with pride. ]
Yeah we are! No-one'll be able to face us and walk out of the ring!

Why? Is T-Pain the worst of the bunch?

It's all because of you!
That's..Ash that's amazing. You have a Slowpoke that's a criminal mastermind!
no subject
I just started this...without you guys, it'd just be me by myself. And it's way more fun with friends to wrestle!

[Noct sighs, shaking his head but it's clear he's trying not to laugh.]
My best friend here in the Pokemon world is an unintentional criminal enabler.
[Amicitia brightens, squirming about again.]
It's an honor, An Tintreach!
