The Naughty Plusle and Minun,

Newton Contest and Mauville Gym

Sometime after the Slateport Contest, the gang had come to a town called Newton Town, where a pokemon contest was being held. Apparently everyone in Newton Town had an electric type pokemon with them, so the gang kept on seeing Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu, Magnemite, Magneton, Jolteon, Voltorb, Electrode, Elekid, Electabuzz, Mareep, Flaffy and Ampharos. There was also four electric pokemon that the gang hadn't seen before. One of them was a green sort of wolf type pokemon, with yellow markings; this pokemon was an Electrike. Another pokemon was a blue and yellow wolf type pokemon; this pokemon was a Manectric, Electrike's evolved form. The last two electric type pokemon nearly looked like Pichu, but they were cream colored and had longer ears. One of them had red markings and the other blue. They were called Plusle and Minun; Plusle had a plus sign on its tail and Minun had a minus sign on its tail. May thought that Plusle and Minun were adorable and hoped she would capture her own Plusle and Minun one day. "Why does everyone here keep an electric type pokemon?" asked Ash. "I know why" said Max. Max explained that a long time ago, Newton Town got attacked by a flock of very ferocious Fearow. But then an Electabuzz, a Raichu, a Manectric and an Ampharos defeated the Fearow and saved the town. "The people were grateful to the electric pokemon, and ever since that day people here have loved and kept electric type pokemon ever since". "What a story" said Tomo. "This town actually reminds me of Len Town back in the Johto region" said Brock. Ash and Tomo remembered too; especially since everyone in Len Town kept a psychic pokemon.

Suddenly the gang heard shouting. "Stop right there you four!" shouted a lady. The lady, with a Jolteon by her side, was chasing two Plusle and two Minun. One Plusle and Minun were shiny; the Plusle had orange markings and the Minun had green markings. The Plusle and Minun shot swift attack and the lady and her Jolteon, which made them, stop in their tracks and then the two Plusle and two Minun left in a hurry. "What on earth was that all about?" asked Max. The gang asked the lady what had happened. The lady explained that the Plusle and Minun were wild pokemon, but they loved to come to the town to play tricks. "Why do they play tricks?" asked May. "Well the truth is, those four pokemon were rejected many times in the past" said the lady. "What do you mean?" asked Brock. The woman explained that all the electric pokemon in Newton Town came from a pokemon breeding place, where they bred electric pokemon. They also bred Eevee in case anyone wanted to have a Jolteon. "Those four Plusle and Minun were from the breeding center too, but the Plusle and Minun, who are shiny, had never been picked by anyone. So they play tricks on everyone in town because of how they had been neglected". "They probably had never been picked because of their different color, I've heard of something like this before" said Ash. "But what about the Plusle and Minun who aren't shiny?" asked Tomo. "Well my guess is those two were not happy with the way the shiny Plusle and Minun were treated, so they've refused to leave them until someone does accept the shiny Plusle and Minun" said the lady. The gang felt sorry for the Plusle and Minun.

The gang had some lunch at the pokemon center. May couldn't stop thinking about the Plusle and Minun; she felt very sorry for them. "I don't really understand why no one in this town wanted to have the shiny Plusle and Minun," said Max "I mean normally people would flip on the chance of having a shiny pokemon". "It's true that people do Max," said Brock "but people treat pokemon unfairly for all different reasons". "It's true," said Ash "they great treated unfairly for being different colored, for having a size that's different than their normal size, and also just because of how emotionally they can be". "But that's not fair" said Max. May also thought that was unfair too. "Hey guys," she said "I'm thinking of capturing the shiny Plusle and Minun for myself. I found them adorable and I don't care if they are shiny at all". The boys thought that May's idea was a good idea and Tomo decided to capture the normal Plusle and Minun for himself.
