Oooooh! Shiny

Part 21: Ash welcome to the Orange Islands

-Ash: Island Variant-

"Yo! Professor Ivy! Anybody home!" Ash yelled as he and the girls entered the research lab, having flown over on a private helicopter he now owned, having gotten a lot of the private holdings from Giovanni after having the leader of the multi region mafia arrested...plus he was loaded after having never lost a battle.

"Who?"

"Are?"

"You?" a group of what looked like sisters popped up from a trapdoor in the floor, all tilting their heads at him.

"I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, I came to pick up something for Professor Oak from a Professor Ivy." Ash grinned, not phased at all at the sight of people using trapdoors because why should he be? Trapdoors were awesome and therefor there's no reason not to use them.

"She's at the beach." One of the glasses wearing girls he guessed were assistants said as all three popped out of their hole and set out.

"Come on." A second picked up. Getting down, they saw the water of the ocean bubble before a large Gyarados surfaced, launching a woman in a swimsuit who leapt from the push and caught a thrown lab coat in midair, putting it on before landing on the sand. Quickly, Ash held up a sign with a nine, the girls holding up their own score cards with Amy showing a nine as well and Giselle and eight.

"What?" the woman he guessed was Professor Ivy pouted, "Only Nines and an Eight?"

"You didn't do a flip." Ash and his girlfriends answered in perfect Sync, all smiling innocently.

"Everyone's a critic." Ivy sulked before looking at them again, "Ah, you're the Shiny King. I'm guessing Sam sent you for the GS ball?"

"Sam?" Ash tilted his head.

"Shiny King?" Amy asked.

"GS Ball?" Giselle quirked an eyebrow.

"Professor Oak, that's the new title the tabloids have given you, and that's the item that he sent you to collect for research." Ivy elaborated without missing a beat. "One moment and I'll get it." Flexing her fingers, Ivy reached into the mystical magical pocket storage space all women apparently had in their bras and bikinis as she began rummaging around. "No. No. Not that. So that's where my lunch went. I thought I lost that a month ago. Aha!" with a grunt, she pulled out a pokeball from her cleavage with a pop. The bottom was the usual white while the top was shiny gold with two symbols looking like a 'g' and an 's' were shown. "There you go Oh Great Shiny Guru. One GS ball, and tell Sam that he can drag his sorry old ass down here himself next time and stop avoiding me!"

"He's avoiding you?" Ash tilted his head as he took the GS ball and handed it to Amy who placed it into her mystical magical cleavage pocket space of wonder.

"The Regional Professors all like to meet up for yearly Poker and those boys always end up crawling home broke and down to their skivvies." Ivy looked extremely proud of herself at that comment as she buffed her nails on her coat. "Sam owes me money from the last game and has been avoiding me since then."

"You could just go to him." Giselle pointed out.

"But that takes away the fun of making him squirm." Professor Ivy mock Whined before laughing happily, "Now come on. I know a great delivery place on the island. I'll pay for lunch if I get to see those shinnies!"

"Free food? Deal!" Ash grinned as the group all went back inside.
