Professor Ivy's Trip to Pallet Town

No"Ash and friends, I called you here today because a special Professor is coming to Pallet."

Brock looked intrigued. " Really? What's her name? Is she pretty?"

Professor Oak gave him a weird look. " Her name is Professor Ivy-"

" Professor Ivytakini?" Ash scrambled as he cut the professor's sentence. " How nice! Uh.... Brock! Dinner's in half an hour! You go get started and run to my house.  Me and Misty will catch up."

Brock smirked. " You gonna tell him how you and Misty are official?"

" Yes, yes, we will! But hurry the dinner!" Misty yelled, blushing.

Brock put his hands up. " Sorry! I'll go get started!"

As soon as Brock left, the couple let out a sigh.

" What was that all about?" A smug voice asked.

Ash turned. " Gary!"

Gary smirked. "  Hiya, Ashy Boy."

Ash groaned. " Gary, please. Not now. We have more important things in the line."

" Uh huh. And what about Professor Ivy? Why did you scramble to cover her name?"

Ash and Misty glanced at each other, wide eyed. " How are we gonna do this?" Ash asked.

Misty sighed. " We'll just have to divert his attention. We can ask Tracy for help."

" Ask me for what help?" Tracy asked as he stepped in.

" 'You know who' is coming tomorrow." Ash replied.

" ' You know who '?" Tracey started at them before bursting out into laughter. " Good one guys!"

Ash and Misty didn't laugh.

Tracey noticed. " Wait, you're not joking?"

Ash nodded.

Tracy's eyes widened. " What, what?!"

Misty nodded. " Professor Oak was almo-"

" WOULD ONE OF YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON?!" Gary yelled.

The trio stared at him.

" Misty, you say." Ash said.

" Why should I say? Tracy should!"

" I don't want to!"

" Well someone has to." Ash stated as he crossed his arms.

" Why don't all three of you?" Oak suggested.

Ash, Misty, and Tracy exchanged nervous glances, all clearly unsure of how to approach the situation. Professor Oak stood with his arms crossed, awaiting an explanation, while Gary leaned against a wall, still smirking, clearly enjoying the tension.

Ash sighed and scratched the back of his head. "Okay, okay... so, the thing is..."

"We, uh... we might have not mentioned something about Professor Ivy before," Misty added, cutting in to try to explain.

Tracy jumped in, his voice higher-pitched than usual, "Brock kind of... has a history with her."

Professor Oak raised an eyebrow. "History? With Professor Ivy?"

Gary's smirk widened. "Oh, this I've got to hear."

Ash groaned. "It's not what you think! It's just... when we met Professor Ivy back on Valencia Island, Brock—well, Brock kind of, you know, stayed behind with her. It was a whole thing, and we don't like to talk about it much..."
