17 Bulbasaur

"So who's driving?" Ash asked Giselle, as the three girls came into the living room. After he was done looking around, he decides to watch TV. There's this question hovering in his mind.

Brock didn't accompany Ash because he was familiarizing the kitchen and utensils. Ash rolled his eyes after seeing Brock mesmerizing the whole kitchen, he was shouting 'Oh, this the latest ... Oh, this is very expensive and Oh, what can this do'

"Ah, I forgot to tell you. It runs by an AI. It will take us anywhere, except for rough terrains. We can set our destination using this ." Giselle reach her hands on some cabinet and took out a tech pad. She then presses her finger on the tech pad and it expands. A blue screen pop out. "This is a navigating pad. This is where we are, right now. Thanks to the satellite we can see where are right now, it's real-time." Giselle approach Ash as she pointed to the screen. Ash looks over and sees the RV running on the road. "Spectacular isn't it. My father gifted me this RV before I got to Pokemon Tech."

Ash bob his head and said. "Since you mention satellite, doesn't that also mean we can scan around?"

"Yeah, of course, don't underestimate this technology. Not only it can scan around the perimeter but can also search for pokemon. Like this for example." Giselle unknowingly closes her distance from Ash as she shoves the Navi-pad close to Ash's face. She then uses her delicate finger to touch a button on the upper left corner of the pad. "See here, There are multiple insect-type, plant-type, and other grass, water, normal and some fire type pokemon." Multiple blue, green, gray, and red dots show up. "Unfortunately, we cannot know what pokemon these dots indicated."

Ash is astonished by this level of technology. Having a space satellite was never easy, owning it? That should be impossible, only the higher authorities can have that kind of power.

He didn't even know who is her parents. Now he was slightly curious. "Giselle, who are you?"

Giselle stops her explanation midway as she looks at Ash, with a confused expression. "What are you on about? I am Giselle."

Ash hit his forehead and said specifically. "Who are your parents? To own a satellite, most of the rich people wouldn't be able to buy one."

Giselle simply said. "I don't know myself. They never told me what their job is. They are hiding something from me. So as time passed by, I completely forgot about that."

Ash observe her for a moment and didn't see her lying. He said."I'm sorry for probing your family. I was just a little bit curious."

Giselle waves her hands, she replied. "Don't worry about that. It doesn't matter, you can ask me anything you don't know. I'm quite knowledgeable." She patted her chest proudly but Ash watches her boobs bounces. He looks away or else he will be labeled as a pervert.

"I'm really glad you've joined us, Giselle. With you here, I can relax for a bit." Ash look at her eyes and said with relief.

Even though he also had vast knowledge in this world. He may forget most of it over time. He is not smart and doesn't have an eidetic memory. So Ash will need someone who can help him if he doesn't understand something he didn't know. Brock may be able to help with other things but he also has limited knowledge, Giselle studies many things including a higher level of information.

Giselle face flushed when Ash thanked her. "Hmph, Don't think, I came with you because I want to be with you. I'm just here because of Misty. You're taking advantage of the mood, don't think I don't know."

Ash scratches his cheek while smiling wryly. "You're too tense. You already know how I feel about you. I would be lying if I didn't take advantage of the mood. Which is what I said was genuine."

She looks away from him with her cheeks blushing. She didn't expect he would flirt with her when his girlfriends... Now that she noticed it. Giselle found out that she's sitting on his left side as Leaf and Misty were sitting on the right side. Also, their distance was very close. Her cheeks gradually turn more bright red as she wanted to scream on top of her lungs.

"S-Stop talking nonsense, this noble lady can't accept a commoner like you." To escape from embarrassment, Giselle turns on her noble lady mode. Which made the three beside her chuckle. She grumbled as she glared at Ash as she wanted to rip him to shred for embarrassing her, though, to Ash she looks like a cute squirrel pouting.

"Yes yes, I understand my lady," Ash smirked as he pretends to act like a commoner before her. "This commoner is so poor that I cannot give what my lady wanted. Ah, for I wish I could kiss the back of her hand." Ash further improvises his acting as he uses his arms to gesture a melancholic action by putting his palm over his chest as the other raised high up as his eyes sparkles.

"Pfft hahaha, Ash you look weird." Misty laughed loudly, she was busy watching TV when she turns her head and found Ash acting weirdly.

Leaf on the other hand just chuckled. She leans her head on Ash. As she teased him a little. "My husband, are you not going to kiss the back of my hand too?"

Ash turned his head crankily to Leaf as he laughed dryly. "Yes my love, I obliged your request."

Grabbing her hand as he slowly raised it to his mouth and give it a gentle kiss. Leaf's eyes were looking at him with fervent expression. Ash noticed this but he didn't do anything. There is still Giselle by their side.

"Me too Ash. Kiss my hand too!" Misty suddenly shot her hands forward as she giggles giggity.

Ash complied as he kisses her hand. Misty happily cheers and said."That kinda tickles."

Ash turned his attention back to Giselle who was looking at them bewildered. "Does my lady wants me to kiss the back of your hand?"

Giselle snaps out from her senses and harrumphs."W-Who wants something like that, shameless." She was watching Misty with envy, she looks happy and she also wanted to be happy too. But she also shouldn't lose her bearing as a Noble lady.

Ash grinned. Although it was a reckless action he nonetheless took action. He grabs her hand, Giselle's body jerks as she watches her hand being kissed by Ash. She hastily pulls her hand she could feel the warm moist on her delicate skin. Her face turns red as she pointed at Ash. "Y-Y-You shameless peasant. You dare to stain my beautiful white delicate skin. Aaah, what should I do, I'm not able to marry anymore." She glared at Ash she punches his shoulder but it didn't hurt him a bit. "It's your fault!"

Ash didn't think this girl would be this cute when teased. He smirked and said, "I can take responsibility."

Giselle stops her punches and crossed her arms, turning her body to the side with a harrumph. "You're taking advantage of me again. This is my loss, I will not be swayed by you again."

Giselle was feeling a bit comfortable when interacting with Ash. She didn't know why but this is the first time she feels warmth next to a boy. Unlike those who approach her with intentions she knew aren't good. Some were straightforward like Ash but she didn't feel the same as what she felt with Ash. It was just a short time they knew each other and yet they look like they have known each other for years. Even though he was younger than her. Giselle glanced at Ash and thought 'If you weren't a womanizer, I would've...' Shaking her head, stopping herself.

"Anyway, are we going ahead, straight to Vermilion city?" Giselle's countenance calmed down as she asked Ash.

"Hmm, There's a place I want to go but it's a bit difficult to cross there with an RV. There is a bridge that only a person can cross." Ash thoughtfully said as he was also thinking whether to stop at that location or not.

Giselle handed Ash the Navi-pad and said pridefully. "Don't worry, guess what, This RV is very amazing. Although it can't fly or cross a marsh, it still can cross a river or sea without any problem."

Ash was stupefied by such exaggerated purpose yet it's very useful. He was lucky he invited her.

Giselle added. "Tap on the location you want to go and it will calculate where it's possible to cross."

Ash nodded as he uses the Navi-pad to find the small shelter. He wanted to catch and befriend that Bulbasaur. Because why not?

Tapping on the location, the Navi-pad started scanning the destination. The RV halted on its tracks.

While it was scanning Brock came out from the Kitchen and loudly announced.

"Hey, It's time to eat."

Pikachu who was sleeping on Leaf's thigh woke up suddenly as his ears twitched.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu excitedly exclaimed. Ash and the girls giggled at the cute yellow mouse.

"Let's eat first," Ash said.

.....

After five hours of travel, they've reached their destination. But, they were greeted by pokemon with hostility. As expected, this place was a shelter for weak pokemon. If not for the blue-haired girl stopping these pokemon, they would have attacked the RV without hesitation.

The door of the RV opened and five youths exited the RV.

The blue-haired girl became vigilant, however, before she could open her mouth to ask who they are. One of the boys in the group disappeared and appeared before her. Casually grabbing her hands and said.

"Hello, my destined soulmate, Ah, such fateful encounter. Can I invite you to our wedding?" Brock's eyes went full heart.

"E-Eh, w-wedding? I'm sorry, I can't marry, I'm still young!" The blue-haired girl's face flushed as she yanks her hand from Brock's and waving her hand in fluster.

However, before he could be dejected. He was sent flying by a vine whip from Bulbasaur. Ash and the girls slap their foreheads, Giselle ultimately thought that all guys are horny. She turns her head at Ash.

Ash saw her looking at him and quickly said. "Hey, Giselle, I'm not like what you think."

Giselle raised an eyebrow as she pointed at the blue-haired girl with her eyes. "Really? Then did you know a beautiful girl is living here?"

Ash felt a pinch on his waist as he wanted to cry but no tears came out. Even if he lied, they would doubt him and he didn't want that.

"Technically, yeah. I'm just here because of that pokemon. By the way Giselle, you have a transceiver machine right,?" Ash asked her.

"I have one." Giselle nodded.

"Great."

They approach the blue-haired girl who was still mumbling incomprehensible words. The pokemon around her became vigilant when the group walked towards them.

"Hello there. My name is Ash Ketchum, I apologize for my companion's behavior. I just wanted to talk to you about something." Ash stopped in front of the girl but he didn't get close enough to irk the pokemon around her.

The blue-haired girl returned from her stupor and see a handsome smiling raven-haired boy in front of her. She asked innocently. "Are you also going to ask me to m-marry you?"

Leaf and Giselle leered at Ash. Misty was laughing at Ash's suffering. Misty didn't care how many girls he brings into his harem, as long he didn't forget her. Otherwise, she would give him a piece of mind.

Ash shivered from their gaze. But he was more concerned when Misty was laughing at him but also not laughing. He gulped down his saliva and prayed for Arceus.

"N-No, I'm here to negotiate." Ash quickly denied her claim.

The blue-haired girl sighed in relief. "I'll introduce myself, I'm Melanie, I'm a caretaker of these pokemon."
