Summary: Ash plans to bug Trip about the phone call he got from his uncle, but Trip is adamant about forgetting about it. He has every reason to forget what the old man says, but that's not what he's worried about though. He's more worried about cooking...actually, Trip shouldn't be the one worrying about cooking, Ash, his friends and Team Rocket should be worried for what Trip would serve up. Besides, Ash will probably get the information that he needs from a little witch that forced her way into the mansion.

Pairing: Ash/Trip, Cilan/Iris with hints of Cilan/Trip, Blair/Bianca and Blair/N

Chapter 7: Cooking Trainer

"Hello, Trip. I hope you're holding your end of the bargain."

Why is he calling me? I still have another week!

"Huh, you're not going to talk? Whatever, I'll just tell you right now that if you don't find that key, there will be consequences."

I'm trying my very best! Why the hell are you harassing me?

"Do you have company over? Is that why you're not talking to your favorite uncle?"

That's a lie! You're the worse uncle anyone can ever have!

"Oh, don't worry, I won't hurt them if I end up having to introduce myself to them, but you'll be the one who has to deal with me when I force them out."

No…don't do that…I can't stand being alone anymore…

"But if you give me the key, then you won't have to worry about me forcefully ejecting them out of the place…oh yeah! I also won't have to call your father and tell me where you are."

He gripped the phone tightly around his hand. Why was he brining him up now?

"I think you understand why I'm the one calling the shots here boy. Now hurry up and find that key. I don't have all the time in the world. You wouldn't want your father finding out your location and what else you did, would you? Bwahahahahahaha!

The evil laugh rang in his ears as he hung up before he finished talking. He had to get away from the phone…far…far away…

Trip knew it was stupid of running off like that. Now he made Ash and the group more curious. He didn't care though. He had to finish cleaning the house first so he could find that blasted key.

"…I don't get it Vanillite…" Trip muttered to his ice cream Pokémon that was tagging right beside him. "What will he gain when he gets the key? I seriously doubt my mom has any money behind that door…"

"Puu?"

"…You wouldn't understand…no one does…"

His Vanillite frowned. She felt bad for not being able to comfort her trainer in time of need. In her mind, that trainer Ash would be the best cure for him. Luckily for her, Trip's Lampent was nearby. As his trainer headed toward the kitchen aimlessly, Vanillite stopped to speak to Lampent about something. Trip wouldn't be able to understand anyway since he didn't understand the language of Pokémon. His Lampent nodded his head in agreement as he flew off in the direction of the training room. Chances were that Ash and co were still there.

Normally, Cilan would be the person that would think that trying to break into someone's cellphone to get information was wrong. However, Cilan was a member of the Shadow Triad, therefore, all information was equally important and if they had to invade someone's privacy to do it that was what the grass gym leader was going to do.

Bianca was the one who suggested it. Her nosy nature would have appalled many people. Ash and Iris were instantly in on this though. Ash wanted to know why Trip suddenly became more distant and Iris just wanted to get on the photographer's nerves. Bianca was just curious, but it all depended on Cilan's choice as he was the oldest of the group. Since he needed the information, he agreed instantly, and no one thought that was odd.

Trip put a code into his phone. It wasn't the normal four digit code that most cellphones and iPods had. No, this was a three letter name. Cilan could not think of anything that Trip would use as a three letter name. Ash, Iris and Bianca were giving all types of suggestions to put in, but no matter what they came up with, the phone wasn't going to go to phonebook and bring up the previous calls.

"What the hell Trip! Why are you making this difficult?" Iris questioned as she had her hands balled up in front of her, shaking them in front of the phone with the red screen that read incorrect password.

"He must really not want anyone in on his numbers…" Cilan mumbled trying to calm the gym apprentice down.

"Boring!~" Bianca whined as she folded her arms in frustration.

Ash was just as irritated. He needed to know why Trip looked worried. Did something bad happen on the other line?

"I think we should just ask Trip what the password is."

"Ash…are you high?" Iris asked him. "Do you really think he'll give you the password just so you can look through his numbers?"

"Well…uh…"

"Urgh…you are such a kid!"

"Axew~"

"Hey! It was a suggestion!"

"A really bad one…" Cilan added in a sarcastic tone.

"What? Not you too Cilan!"

As Iris and Cilan continued to tease Ash nonstop, Bianca noticed that a Lampent was at the door with a notebook in front of him that was being levitated with the psychic spell.

"Hey, what's that Pokémon?" Bianca asked getting their attention.

Instantly, Cilan froze up remembering that Pokémon way too well from the haunted mansion. He was scared of ghost Pokémon. They were always watching him.

"N-N-N-No! N-N-Not a ghost!" Cilan ended up crying as he backed away. Iris just laughed at Cilan's display of immaturity while Ash recognized it as Trip's Lampent.

"It's Trip's Lampent," he told Bianca.

"Really? It's weird…"

"Yeah…" Ash noticed that the notebook was being handed to him using psychic. Ash ended up taking it instantly stopping the attack and read it. He flinched.

"This is…"

The group paid attention to Ash.

"It's what Ash?" Iris asked.

"Trip has too much stuff to do around here! Does he ever have enough time for anything?"

Instantly the trio ended up sighing. The notebook had nothing to do with the phone call.

"What does it say?" Iris continued to question.

"Well, this has all the chores that Trip apparently hasn't done yet. Let's see, cleaning the training room is done but there's still mopping the whole floor, putting lots of furniture away on the fourth floor, tidying up the garden, cleaning up the guest rooms, cooking, vacuuming…this list goes on forever…"

"Whoever gave him this list makes me think that this person thinks that Trip is Cinderella to them." Bianca said.

That would have been a stupid thing to say…but that was pretty accurate from the list. Ash looked at his Lampent waiting for him to make a decision. Instantly, Ash knew what to do.

"Alright guys! I got it!"

"Got what Ash?"

"Pika pi?"

"We're going to help Trip finish this list!"

"WHAT?"

"I think I'll go back to sleep now…" Cilan mumbled almost instantly.

"Why do we have to work?" Bianca complained. "It's his mansion!"

"Come on guys, it will be fun. We'll even use our Pokémon to help us out. I'm sure Trip will really appreciate us helping out."

Iris just shook her head in disapproval. "I swear, ever since you got here, all you wanted to do is get on Trip's good side. It's obvious that he doesn't want us here and sees us as freeloaders so I don't see why we have to kiss up to him."

"Come on Iris! You know Trip isn't that bad of a guy! He just needs to talk to us more!"

Iris turned to Cilan hoping he would say something because of his fever. Cilan ended up giving into Ash though to her surprise.

"Sorry Iris, I think he's right. Trip is actually a nice kid and I'm sure he'll be thankful for us helping him."

"But you're sick…"

Cilan stood up and smiled. "Don't worry about me! When I was still with my brothers, I was the one that took care of them, even if I was sick and collapsed in a heap!"

"…That's nothing to be proud of."

"Axew…xew…"

Ash grinned as the green haired gym leader agreed with him. He turned to Bianca next. "It will be fun Bianca, what do you say?"

She ended up getting pumped almost instantly. "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt."

"Great!" Ash took out his other five Pokémon that he ended up using the most and through them out. "Come on out everyone!"

Ash summoned Oshawott, Tepig, Snivy, Scraggy and Swadloon. Ash felt like his Tranquil wasn't going to be that much of a use in this mansion since Trip already had one flying around. His Palpitoad still needed a rest from the tournament and his Roggenrola also needed a rest from the attack a couple of weeks ago.

"Come on out everyone!" Bianca called out as she threw four Pokéballs in the air. Two of them were familiar Pokémon that Ash and the group knew which were Pignite and Minccino. The other two were Pokémon that Bianca had not called upon before and they were Munna and Herdier.

"Then mine will come out too!" Iris exclaimed as she threw two more Pokéballs out. One had Excadrill in it and the other had Emolga.

"Me too."

Cilan threw his Pokémon out. They were Pansage, Dwebble and Stunfisk.

It was going to be a rowdy evening, but you would be shocked how much the team could manage in one day.

Trip didn't understand why his Pokémon refused to help him cook. The minute he stepped inside the kitchen, his Pokémon fled the area. Only his Vanillite stayed behind as dopey as ever. Honestly, it wasn't like he was a bad cook or anything. Only his mom was a terrible cook.

"Whatever…Vanillite, what do you think I should make?" He asked her.

"Puu…Vanipeti…puu!"

"Ehh? I don't know…sounds difficult…"

"Puu!"

"Okay, okay! I'll make it! Don't get mad!"

Vanillite's smile widened as she nudged her trainer's cheek. Trip could only laugh softly as he grabbed on to her gently and brought her close.

"You win. I'll make it."

What Vanillite wanted had something related to Umineko again. Trip actually spent a whole day just watching the anime instead of cleaning like his uncle wanted him to do. His Vanillite enjoyed the series very much and adored Lady Beatrice as much as Trip did. And because Beatrice was Italian, Vanillite wanted spaghetti and meatballs. As crazy as the logic was, Trip was fine with that. This kitchen had any ingredient for any type of foreign cuisine.

He had all the ingredients needed thanks to the list that he got ahead of time because he had an idea what Vanillite wanted.

"Vanillite, give me the okay if we have it."

"Puu!"

"…I haven't started." Trip said with a small smile as he read the list. "One small onion that is grated, one-fourth cup of chopped Italian parsley, one egg, three tablespoons of ketchup, three minced garlic cloves, one teaspoon of salt, one-fourth teaspoon of pepper, two-third cups of grated Parmesan, one-fourth dried Italian bread crumbs and eighteen ounces of lean ground beef for the meatballs."

"Puuuuuuuuu….Vani!"

"Alright now for the marinara sauce…there's…one-half cup of olive oil, two small onions chopped, two garlic cloves that are minced, two stalked chopped celery, two carrots diced, one-half teaspoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of pepper, two, thirty-two ounce can of crushed tomatoes and two dried bay leaves."

"Puu, puu-puu puu!"

"Alright. I think I can do this…"

Suddenly, Trip heard a noise coming from behind him. Now Trip knew there were multiple ways to get into the house besides the front door that everyone sees. However, not a lot of people knew about the hidden door in the kitchen except those that were in his family and a few others. Trip didn't hesitate to take a knife and throw it in the direction of the noise. It was perfect aim and there was a scream. Instantly, Trip regretted throwing his knife like a kunai.

"WHAT THE HELL TRIP? CAN'T A WITCH SAY HI?"

A little girl came through the hidden door. She looked to be the same age around Trip if not younger. She had huge purple eyes and black hair…but looked dark brown at some angles. She was unique in that she wore a cute witch outfit that looked similar to what those witches from Umineko would wear only instead of it being a dress, it looked more like a Japanese uniform…so in other words…the outfit looked more like the standard witch outfit than the actual appealing ones that Trip liked in that series. She looked ready to cry.

"Oh…it's only you…"

"DON'T "Oh…it's only you…" ME! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MY ZORUA!"

Trip looked where the knife hit. He hit her witch hat and the knife went right through it leaving a rather huge tear in the middle. The Zorua she was talking about popped its head out from underneath the hat, trembling in fear.

I'm scared Est! Trip could hear the Pokémon speak.

That was abnormal for Pokémon to speak but for Trip, it was considered normal. There was at least one Pokémon that his family members had that could speak human language and that is because of his grandmother's occupation. He would not go into much detail about that old hag though.

"Shut up, you shouldn't have been hiding in that hat anyway." Trip told it as he turned back around.

"I want an apology dammit!" Est shouted as she made her through the hidden door. "You could kill someone like your mother!"

"Well, people did say she was a professional. I guess it runs in the family."

"That's not funny! Murder is not funny!"

"Unless it happens in Umineko."

"…You are one sick child little boy."

"You're the short one."

Trip couldn't help but cackle when she fumed instantly. "DON'T CALL ME SHORT! DON'T CALL ME PUNY! DON'T CALL ME TINY! DON'T CALL ME MICROSCOPIC!"

"Yep, whatever. Just tell me why you're here and I'll forgive you for trespassing."

Calm down Est. He's just teasing you.

"I don't get it! I'm twice as old as you yet you're taller than me!"

"Tell me why you're here."

Est sighed as she sat on the table. Trip shook his head in annoyance as she moved some of the ingredients out of the way for her small ass.

"Paige told me to pick up Joi." She explained. "She's a lazy bitch! I don't see why I have to fly all the way over here on my broom in the cold hard rain outside while she sits near the Driftveil Bridge, waiting for Clay to give the okay, which by the way, he's not going to anytime soon until those bombers are caught."

"Oh…that explains why she wasn't here sooner…" Trip mumbled to himself as he started to prepare the meatballs first.

Est looked at him seriously as he started to make the food quietly with his Vanillite helping. Her Zorua looked toward her worryingly.

"Trip…are you aware that Kurtz might be dead?" She asked seriously.

"That's impossible." He said almost instantly. "That idiot couldn't die even if you sent assassins to take him down."

"…But assassins were sent to kill him…and they might have succeeded."

"Did they find the body?" Was the next thing that Trip asked rather quickly.

"No…but that might be because they dumped his body into the ocean."

"Then he's still as good as alive in my book. My father obviously failed in killing him."

"…Who said it was your father that tried to kill him?"

"…It was Team Plasma…wasn't it?"

"Yeah. I still can't believe they went from the animal wrong groups to cold-blooded terrorists! Just what we need in this world!" She stood on the table though causing Trip to flinch. "But that's okay! As a witch, I will defeat all the bad people in the world! Right Zorua?"

Right!

"…What a childish way of thinking…"

"Come on Trip! You got to think positive for once. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel."

"…Ridiculous…"

Est frowned with Trip's way of thinking. She knew the hell he went through because she witnessed it along with many other bystanders that knew Trip's parents, but like all of them, she could do nothing as she was more focused on someone that was more important than Trip in his family.

"If that's it, you can leave now." Trip easily dismissed her as he finished putting all the ingredients in to make the actual meatballs.

"Come on Trip! You can't leave this poor little girl in the rain can you?"

"I have done it before with Linda and I will do it with you."

"Cold…"

Est got off the table preparing to leave before she eyed the ingredients where the sauce was. She grinned evilly as she whispered her Zorua to switch the ingredients around. Her Zorua came out of her hat as it transformed into Vanillite. Vanillite turned around and instantly got pissed.

"Puu!"

Puu~ Zorua repeated.

Trip frowned when he turned around. He saw two ice creams and instantly caught the fake.

"You know Est, if you're going to have your Zorua imitate my Pokémon, you should try not to make it so obvious."

The part that was obvious was apparently that Trip's Vanillite was blue and Zorua was a pink Vanillite. Annoyed, Zorua turned back into its original form. Getting a closer look at the Zorua, one could see that instead of the normal colors that Zorua had, it was blue instead. Instead of blue eyes, it had red eyes, and its fur was more of a brownish tint.

"Come on Trip! Just one day! I flew all the way over here with my broom!"

"You mean you had your Pokémon use psychic to levitate you? Sad."

"Please Trip! I promise I won't say anything to your mom about this."

He glared at her when she mentioned his mom. "Why do you think she cares about me Est? Why do you think she would send my aunt's useless bodyguard to watch over me?"

"Useless…" She looked at the floor ashamed of herself. "I…"

Est was using the pity technique to get Trip to let her stay…and it was working.

"…"

"…"

He finally sighed in defeat as he turned on the sink and began washing his hands. "You can stay."

She instantly perked up and cheered loudly. "WAHOO! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"

Trip did not expect her to tackle him to the ground after he finished wiping his hands he just washed. His Vanillite looked down at her with envy in her eyes. Est's Zorua used this opportunity to swap the bottles of sauce around.

"Hey, get off me!"

"Love you bunches~"

Trip hated her at that moment when someone he thought was upstairs came into the kitchen.

"Hey Trip, I was wondering where else you wanted us to…clean up…"

Ash saw the scene in the kitchen and just stared at them awkwardly. Est looked up surprised to see that someone else was in the mansion. Trip felt like dying right there as he pushed her off with superhuman like strength.

"Uh…am I interrupting something?" Ash asked not really knowing what else to say.

Est responded with something different when she recovered. "Why didn't you tell me you had your boyfriend over? I would have left minutes ago if that was the case."

Trip got up instantly and glared at her. "He's not my boyfriend!" He then glared at Ash. "And why the hell are you here? I'm not done cooking yet!"

"Uh…I was just wondering...er..." Ash really was at a loss of words.

"Get out!"

Trip finally lost his temper. Est shrieked when she felt Trip grab her by the shoulder. She screamed when he threw her at Ash. They both crashed into the wall in the hallway. Trip also kicked Zorua out too and slammed the door to the kitchen. Est quickly recovered as she banged on the door.

"I can't believe you threw a girl! I thought Amanda taught you well not to hit a girl!"

Trip opened the door again still seething. "Well, for your information Est, Maddalen told me that gender doesn't matter in a fight. If you're going to be a whiny bitch, then I have every right to hit you."

And he slammed the door in her face. The little witch was fuming.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

Ash was still trying to recover from having someone being thrown at him. Why did Trip have superhuman strength, he didn't know… All he knew was that he was going to stay far away from Trip for now…

Things settled down when Ash guided Est to the living room. He finally understood what was going on in the kitchen now.

The girl introduced herself as Est. She is apparently the bodyguard of Trip's aunt Ilyana, therefore served under Trip's family.

"Trip's family is very rich." She told him, "but they're old fashion and strict. Of course, Trip's mom and his aunt are trying to break out of that style…but the head is very scary…very scary…"

She would pause at the mention of Trip's grandmother. Her Zorua had to comfort her that she wasn't around to beat her. The little witch would continue talking about her occupation and how she fails as a bodyguard because she's not even with Ilyana at the moment. Ash decided to ask her about Trip.

"Do you know why Trip is so distant?"

"It's his family situation." She said simply. "Life…hasn't treated him well."

"…"

"I'm assuming you're pretty close to Trip, so I'll just give you the story in one paragraph. Trip is an only child and the only son of the great Maddalen. He has inherited almost everything from her, but he wasn't always this aloof. In fact, he was the sweetest thing when he was…around five. However…both of his parents hated his guts…but I'm going to deny that Maddalen hates her son…I will not believe that at all. Regardless, shit started to go down after Trip met the Champion."

"Alder, I assume?"

"Yes…him." She smiled sadly. "He was the reason Trip wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer…but his mom hates Pokémon…so their relationship got worse. She would…often beat him for hanging out with older trainers and their Pokémon and it really got to the point where she actually left him out in the rain…"

"! That's…"

"Horrible…but no one stopped it. No one dared go up against Maddalen…in fact…the only person that went up against her was Amanda…and look what happened to her."

"What happened?"

"She's dead." Est said in a matter of fact tone that stunned Ash.

Ash had to absorb the information that she was giving him about Trip because apparently, she already trusted him.

"Rumors spread that Maddalen hired someone to kill Amanda but to make it look like an accident. No one really knows though because Maddalen's lips are sealed of the event…but…" Est looked away as if she was recalling that event in her mind. "I'll never forget what happened after that."

"…What do you mean?"

"…It's hard to believe but because of that event, Maddalen started to treat Trip like her actual son…and that only lasted a year before she finally had it and left with the richest man in Unova."

"Rugal?"

"That's him…but…" Her expression darkened. "I will never forgive the person who did that."

"Did what?"

"Well…I think during the time that Maddalen started to act like a mother, someone called child service on them…and…she just snapped."

"But wasn't Trip…oh…"

"Trip loves her." She stated the obvious. "He didn't take the thing well either, and when Maddalen left, his father snapped…and took his anger out on him."

"!"

"Trip ran away from home with the help of one of his dad's friends Kurtz. If Trip gets caught though, his father will drag his ass back home."

"And where is that…exactly?"

"Driftveil City. The one that's over the drawbridge."

"Wait…"

"That's all I'm going to say about him." Est told the Kanto trainer. "Trip will kill me if he found out that I told his life story to someone." She smiled. "But I trust you for some strange reason."

"…"

"Are you sure you're not Trip's boyfriend? You seem like the type of person Trip would be attracted to."

"Boyfriend? I am a boy and I am a friend but…"

She sighed in defeat as she looked near the door frame nearby. "How many people did Trip invite here?"

Ash turned to see that Iris, Cilan and Bianca were eavesdropping on the conversation along with Pikachu, Axew and Eevee of course.

"We just got here." Iris said with a cheeky grin. "It's not like we were listening to Trip's backstory or anything."

It was obvious they were spying. Ash just chuckled nervously at Iris giving them away. Est just shrugged her shoulders. "If you're friends of Trip, then it shouldn't matter."

She got off the couch and proceeded to leave. "I need to fix my hat anyway."

"Why are you giving Ash this information?" Cilan suddenly asked in a serious tone.

"? Cilan?"

"For all you know, we could be people that could harm Trip, yet you gave us his family backstory with just a blink in the eye. Why trust him?"

Est looked confused before smiling. "You may be strangers to me, but the aura says you're all good people, so I can trust you."

"Aura?" Ash asked.

"Oh, I said too much! Got to go! Tell me when Trip's done cooking~"

With that, she dashed in the other direction…that definitely wasn't where the stairs were.

"What a weird kid." Iris stated as they all walked over to Ash.

"…I didn't get to ask how old she was…" Ash mumbled to herself.

"She's probably the same age as Trip. Don't worry about it."

"…"

Ash still needed to absorb the information that he just received. He needed to remember to treat Trip nicer now that he knew that his life sucked so badly. Ash's childhood was nothing in comparison to his and judging from her story, his life as a trainer isn't as good either.

"Alright it's done."

"Puu!"

Trip stared at the food he made and felt proud of himself. He finally cooked without supervision. Of course, if you looked at the spaghetti, you could tell there was something wrong with it…like…the coloring of the noodles was purple instead of the usual yellow. The meat was dark brown instead of the spicy red color it should have had in the picture. Trip just excused the change in color as him burning the food slightly. He could not explain why the noodles he boiled in the pot change color. He'll just go by the theory that the water he used was purple instead of clear thus did it change color. If anyone were to ask about his logic, they would not be able to understand it.

"Vanillite, can you go get them?" Trip asked his ice cream Pokémon.

"Vani~"

Trip had to open the door in order for her to float out of it and go get Ash and the group. He was still annoyed that Est had to ask him those questions and then put him in that awkward situation. He hated situations like that…they never ended well and the one who witnesses it all assumes the worse.

And suddenly…I feel like I understand what happened with Porter and Linda now. The photographer thought to himself, as he tasted his food. It tasted fine according to him. Now all he had to do was…

There was a crash upstairs. Instantly, Trip felt his temper flare up. "If they break something…someone isn't going to eat tonight…"

He noticed his Gurdurr was at the door. He instantly called him order and asked the fighting Pokémon to set the table to his dismay. Trip didn't understand why his Gurdurr was making a fuss about something as small as that…

The noise was from Bianca again. She ended up following Est and that was when she saw the adorable black fox known as Zorua. She was obsessed with that Pokémon ever since she met Luke's Zorua during the tournament. She wanted one so badly. If she couldn't get Luke to trade his Zorua, then she would get Est to trade with her.

All Zorua were playful though and that resulted in Zorua jumping out of Est's hat and running around the mansion. Bianca ended up chasing it. Cilan reminded her that it was ill advised to destroy something wasn't hers. She didn't listen and continued chasing it. It got to the point where she almost knocked over a rather expensive vase. Iris had the quickest reflex and caught it. The sound Trip heard was of the table that the vase was on falling on top of the dragon trainer and her head hitting the floor as a result.

"Bianca…" She muttered darkly as she caught Zorua and gave it a bear hug to its dismay. "You're such a kid…"

"You're so cute Zorua~ I want to catch you~"

Ash and Cilan just chuckled nervously. Est did not like Bianca hugging her Zorua. "Give it back."

"I'm just going to borrow her for a while~"

"It's a he! Now listen to your elders and give it back!"

"No!"

Bianca was acting immature again. The fight would not escalate though because Vanillite found them. Est instantly saw the ice cream Pokémon and grinned. "Is the food ready?"

"Puu~"

"ALRIGHT!"

She just left her Zorua as she rushed to the dining room. Zorua felt betrayed by his trainer.

The group was rather hungry so they all followed after the little witch unaware of what would happen at the dinner table.

The dining room was huge like the rest of the mansion. Ash had to remind himself that Trip's family was rich but this was ridiculous.

Team Rocket was also called to eat whatever was cooked. Est needed an explanation on why Trip had so many people in the mansion.

"It's not like you to invite this many people!" She complained. "I thought you were just cooking for me!"

Trip just shook his head in annoyance. "They're just here because of the rain and to open that door."

"The door where you lost that key?"

"You shut up." He retorted as he left with his Gurdurr to get the food.

Est let out a small witch like cackle as she sat at the end of the table. If anyone asked, it was because she knew Trip the longest.

Her taste is just as weird as Trip's. Cilan thought to himself as he realized he should be back in bed with soup.

He was wishing for that now as everybody backed up when Trip's Gurdurr came in with the huge plate that could serve multiple people. The spaghetti…looked dangerous when it was set in the middle of the table. Ash instantly felt his eyebrow twitch as he and everyone examined the strange color of the food. Est chuckled nervously realizing that her plan might have backfired.

"Did you make this all by yourself?" Bianca asked not trying to sound like crude.

When Trip came through the door, he just nodded his head. "Knowing you guys, you'll probably not leave anything for me." He says this as he looks at Ash.

Ash's friends turned to the Kanto trainer. He was known for eating a lot but Ash felt like this was not a good idea.

"Umm…Trip…why is the food…"

"Purple? It's food coloring." He said rather quickly.

"Bullshit…" Est whispered to herself. No one heard her though.

Team Rocket was going to take the first bite first since they hadn't eaten anything all day, but James and Meowth weren't going to risk it after seeing the dead bodies. For all they know, Trip could have poisoned the food.

The group wasn't feeling good when it was Gurdurr that ended up serving them. The food smelled fine but just looking at it.

"Ash…"

Trip rarely called Ash by his name. The raven-haired teen froze when the gray-orbed trainer was behind him. If Ash were to turn around, the aura around Trip would be as purple as the one that was around Eevee.

"Weren't you complaining about being hungry?"

"Uh…"

"Don't waste my food."

It was like the devil was speaking to him. He was too scared to say anything. Iris and Cilan just shook their head as if saying, "It was nice knowing you."

"I worked really hard…"

Ash looked at Est who was eyeing him. If Ash was better at understanding some romantic movements, it was obvious that the witch was telling him to "Go get him!" Ash looked down at the plate of the purple spaghetti and then back at everyone who was expecting him to eat.

"Oh, it's not just Ash that has to eat first. Everyone has to eat it."

That got the whole table quiet. Pikachu and the rest of the Pokémon were lucky just eating Pokémon food…but Vanillite handed Pikachu some ketchup and the electric Pokémon was satisfied for the evening.

Ash felt his heart speed up as he looked down on the food. If he died, he wanted to write his will before it was too late.

"Umm…Trip can I have a…"

Trip was very persistent with Ash tasting his food. Everyone just assumed he was secretly trying to kill Ash when in reality he wanted Ash to taste to see how good his cooking was since there was no way he was just as bad as his mom.

"Do I have to feed you or are you going to do it yourself?"

Trip felt his cheeks blushing when he asked that. No one but Est caught that though as she giggled. Ash simply assumed that Est was mocking him instead of seeing the situation at hand. Slowly, he took his fork and poked one of the meatballs. Slowly, he raised it to his mouth. Everyone was watching him now.

Here goes nothing…

Ash put it in his mouth and chewed…and chewed…and chewed…and swallowed.

Ash instantly turned his head toward Trip and said one thing.

"Murderer…"

And then his head slammed on the table as Iris started screaming.

Me: TBC with 7300 words.

Li: Oh my god…you killed Ash…

Me: The movies do it too often Li. It wouldn't be the first. But if some of you didn't get the joke, Trip sucks at cooking.

1. In Pokémon, there is always that one person in the group that can't cook. So I think it would be funny if Trip was the bad cook since it would be different if the rival were bad at doing something. Bonus points because I made it obvious that his mom was a terrible cook and he inherited that…along with everything else.

4. Est's character is rather simple for me. She's a TWENTY-year-old girl that acts like a child. Yes, she's twenty despite looking ten as she stated that she is twice the age of Trip. It's kind of obvious that she sucks at being a bodyguard. She loves the occult and hates being called short to the point that she acts like Edward Elric. On the bright side, she's always thinking positively and never gives up no matter how many times she falls down. She uses ghost and dark types. She can apparently see the aura from the conversation with Ash but there are some hidden depths with her.

6. Yes, like the Zorua in the movie, Est has one that can communicate telepathically…and it's a shiny Zorua!

7. Remember Amanda? If you read Perfect Shot and basically the other Pokemon stories, I basically gave the idea on what happened.

8. Here is more information on Kurtz. Cilan kind of freaked out in the first chapter about him being dead. Since Kurtz is also close to Trip, he heard about it but Trip is adamant about him not being dead. I'll just say that the body wasn't found.

9. Linda and Porter are constantly mentioned in my other stories and Trip only mentions them once here.

10. Bianca has both Munna and Herdier similar to her game counterpart. I don't like how the anime doesn't have her signature Munna that she ALWAYS has and might as well be her favorite Pokemon.

Edit: Still nothing much to edit this chapter.
