A PKMN Fanfic By: Cullen Pittman
It was a pretty day in Pallet Town. Our friends Ash, Misty, Brock and
Pikachu were taking a nice walk when they came across a busy street.
There they saw a policewoman directing the traffic. "It looks like
Pallet's now got our very own Officer Jenny", said Ash.

"And she's the most beautiful of them all!" sighed Brock who was
glowing redder than a Magmar.

"Sigh", groaned Misty as she pulled out a notepad marked BROCK'S
CRUSHES and marked it for the 64th time. She then looked up from
her pad and saw Brock stepping out into the street.

"Brock! What are you doing?!" she shouted.

"Are you crazy?!" yelled Ash, "Get back here!!!"

"Pika pi!" shouted Pikachu.

But Brock wasn't listening to any of them. He just kept walking in a
daze heading closer to his latest crush. He suddenly woke up when he
heard a lot of crashing and a lot of honking and cursing.

"Just what do you think you're doing buster?!" shouted an angry Jenny.
Brock and Jenny were surrounded by a swarm of wrecked cars and angry
drivers.

"Wow, Brock just started Pallet's first scrapyard", said Ash.

"You're under arrest for jaywalking, disrupting traffic, and looking at an
officer funny!" said Jenny as she handcuffed Brock.

"Oh yes!" smiled Brock. "Throw away the key so I can be your
prisoner for life!" Ash, Misty and Pikachu just fainted.

* * * * * *

Next we see our friends sitting in a police station waiting to see
what will happen to Brock. "You've really done it this time hormone
boy!" grumbled Misty. "You were lucky that you didn't become street
pizza!"

"I just don't know what came over me", said Brock, "Why would I just
walk out into a busy street like that?"

"It's your obsession with every beautiful girl you see", said Ash,
"Every time that happens, you always end up getting all of us into
trouble!"

"Pika pika pi!" scolded Pikachu.

"Oh come on", said Brock, "Since when did my innocent little crushes
get all of you into trouble?"

"There was the time you got us involved in that Pokemon gang-war
because of that pretty gang member", said Misty.

"And that time you made me dress up like a Mr. Mime just to impress
that ringmaster girl and you got me whipped, humiliated and captured
by Team Rocket and you didn't seem to care!" shouted Ash.

"Pika pika pi! Pikachu, pi Pika!" shouted Pikachu reminding Brock
about the time he ordered Ash's Butterfree to choose the female
Butterfree of a pretty owner just so they'd meet.

"And I'll never forget that time you told Nurse Joy that you'll take
that dumb Psyduck off her hands and I was the one that ended up
being its owner!" growled Misty. "Hey, are you even paying attention
to us?!"

Brock was just staring at Jenny who was bending down looking through
her bottom file cabinet. "Maybe I'll get lucky and she'll send me to a
woman's prison", smiled Brock. Ash and his friends just fainted.(THEY
SEEM TO DO THAT A LOT IN THE SERIES!)

"I was listening to your little conversation", said Jenny, "So it was
puberty that corrupted this poor boy into a life of crime."

"Please don't send him to jail", pleaded Misty, "We'll get him
neutered if we have to!" Brock just sat there silently gazing at
Jenny while Pikachu waved his paw in front of his face.

"I'll tell you what", said Jenny, "I'll let him off with a warning
if you'll take him to this place." She handed Ash a flyer.

"Puh-sychiatry for People and Pokemon", read Ash.

"Uh, Ash that's psychiatry", said Misty. "The P is silent like in
Psyduck.

"Okay", smiled Ash, "Psychiatry for eople and Okemon, right
Ikachu?" Pikachu and Misty just groaned.

"This institution has the power to break the worst habits out of
people and Pokemon", said Jenny, "Whether it's smoking, drinking,
nail biting, nasty tempers, and they're doing a special on
uncontrollable hormones today."

"We'll do it!" said Ash and Misty snickering wickedly. They turned
around and found Brock gone.

"Brock, come back here!" shouted Ash.

"Forget it!" shouted Brock as he started to run out the door. Ash
quickly released his Bulbasaur who used its vines to snare Brock.

"No! You can't just take my hormones from me!" cried Brock who
was struggling to break free, "They're all I've got in my empty life!"

* * * * * *

Meanwhile, James and Meowth were in a very tall tree picking purple
berries and putting them into a huge basket while Jessie was lying
under the tree.

"I don't see why we have to pick these berries just because Jessie
suddenly has a craving", complained Meowth.

"I don't even like purple berries", whined James, "But violet berries
I can handle."

"Will you two meatheads quit chattering and keep picking?!" shouted
Jessie, "I can get pretty cranky if I don't get my cravings satisfied!"

"Which is every day!" sighed Meowth.

"Shut your Meowth!" shouted Jessie as she started throwing acorns at
her teammates. "Maybe these will motivate you lazy slugs!"

She kept throwing acorns while James and Meowth started picking like
crazy. However, one of the acorns hit the basket causing it to fall
making a loud splat.

"Why do I suddenly smell berries burning?" asked James. They looked
down and found Jessie completely covered with purple jam except for
her face that was burning red with rage.

"It looks like I'm about to lose another life!" said Meowth nervously.

"Why you complete simpletons!!!" screamed Jessie. "This'll teach you
to mar my incredible beauty!!!" She quickly pulled a chainsaw out of
nowhere and started to cut down the tree.

"Wait Jessie!" pleaded James, "Count to ten before you do anything
you'll regret!"

"123456789", shouted Jessie, "and one more inch makes TEN!!!" And
the tall tree suddenly fell causing James and Meowth to land safely into a
field of prickly Sandslashes.

* * * * * *

"I tell you Meowth, one of these days that temper of Jessie's is gonna
kill us!" moaned James as as he was plucking the Sandslash needles
from Meowth's fur.

"Maybe we should put her in a match against ice Pokemon", said
Meowth, "Her boiling point attack could melt them all down into
slushees!" Both he and James snickered.

"Hey ho, what's this?" said Meowth as he picked up a flyer that was
lying on the ground. "Psychiatry for people and Pokemon", read
Meowth, "If you or your Pokemon are suffering from problems,
disagreements, anxieties, or bad habits that need breaking, come on
over and our specially trained psychiatrists will make a new man,
woman, or Pokemon out of you."

"This is perfect!" yelled Meowth, "I bet this place will cure Jessie
of her temper and we can finally do our evil deeds in peace!"

"Are you insane?!" gasped James, "Do you know what Jessie could do to
us if we even mention, let alone suggest such a thing to her?!"

"Relax James", smiled Meowth, "cause I just got me an idea!" and he
yanked James down to his level and started whispering something.

"Ooooooh! I like it!" said James as he giggled like a schoolgirl.

"WHERE ARE YOU, YOU TWO LUNKHEADS!!!" screamed
Jessie's voice, "I'M NOT FINISHED LASHING OUT MY ANGER
AT YOU!!!"

"Okay, I'll talk to her while you make the appointment", said Meowth
as he headed over to Jessie while James pulled out his cellular phone
and dialed the number that was on the flyer.

* * * * * *

Ash, Misty and Pikachu along with Bulbasaur who had Brock still
wrapped up in its vines had arrived at the entrance of the psychiatry
center. "Well Brock, are you ready?" asked Ash.

"We don't really have time for all this!" said Brock nervously, "The
Pokemon League Games will be starting in about a month. You'll end
up missing a whole day of training!"

"For once I'm on Ash's side!" said Misty, "You need this therapy for
your sake and for all of our sakes too!"

"So you wanna take away my love interests so I can grow up to be a
lonely, bitter, old man right?!" shouted Brock.

"Oh no, we do want you to find the right girl someday", said Misty,
"Just not every strange girl you meet."

"Yeah", said Ash, "What will happen if you fall in love with a
strange girl that you end up mistreating your own Pokemon?"

Brock suddenly went to a daydream. He was eating dinner in a fancy
restaurant with a beautiful girl. "Oh Brock", said the girl, "I'm so
glad that you understand how I hate Pokemon so much."

"What's a Pokemon?" asked Brock who was under her spell.

Outside, all of Brock's Pokemon were freezing in the snow-covered
street. Even Vulpix's flames were too weak to keep them warm. Just
then a limo stopped right next to them where a Meowth was living it
up drinking milk mixed with champagne. Geodude approached the
Meowth begging for some change while the Meowth only replied, "Get a
trainer!" and the limo drove off leaving the pour four in a cloud of
smoke.

Brock woke up from his fantasy feeling guilty. "Okay guys, you win",
he sighed. "I'll go in quietly."

"You can release him now Bulbasaur", said Ash. Bulbasaur unraveled
its vines causing Brock to land on his head. Ash and Misty grabbed
his ankles and dragged him inside.

When they got to the front of the desk, they found a man wearing a
labcoat. "Greetings, I am Dr. Frenzer Cranium", said the doctor in a
proper voice, "You must be the young man who has the wild hormone
problem. Well after we're through with you, you'll never want to
look at another pretty girl again."

"LET ME OUTTA HERE!!!" screamed Brock as he was about to run away
until Ash and Misty tackled him.

"Don't make me bring out Bulbasaur again!" shouted Ash.

"Nurse Joy", said Dr. Cranium, "Why don't you take this case right
here?" Brock suddenly got up and slowly walked over to the pretty
Nurse Joy who had just entered the room.

"You're definitely the prettiest of all the Nurse Joys!" sighed Brock.

"You must be Brock", said Joy, "My sisters and cousins have told me
all about you. I see that I have my work cut out for me." She
grabbed Brock by the ear while he followed her by floating in the
air.

"She definitely will have her work cut out for her!" sighed Misty.

"Dr. Cranium", said Ash, "I've heard that you also give psychiatry
for Pokemon too."

"You are correct young man", said Dr. Cranium. "One time a child
brought in a Squirtle with a serious drinking problem. It was always
sneaking into the boy's father's liquor cabinet whenever they were
asleep. The result was a Squirtle that shot booze bubbles at its
opponents. That poor boy would've lost his Pokemon license if he
didn't get his Squirtle treated here."

"That's great!" said Ash excitedly, "I have this Charizard here that
just won't listen to me. Can you get it to remember the time when it
was a friendly little Charmander and my friend?"

"But of course", said Dr. Cranium as he took the Pokeball from Ash.
"Chansey, take care of this one please."

"Chansey", said the Chansey as it put the Pokeball in its pouch and
left.

"Your Charizard will be just fine", said Dr. Cranium, "Would you all
like to check on Brock's progress? Just enter that hallway and you
can see everything through the window in there."

"Sure", said Ash, "But aren't you coming too?"

"No, I'm expecting another patient at any time right now", said Dr.
Cranium, "It's a girl who's supposed to have a nasty temper."

"Why does a girl with a nasty temper sound familiar?" asked Misty.

"Have you seen yourself on TV?" laughed Ash. Misty just gave him a
whack on the head.

* * * * * *

Meanwhile, Team Rocket was crawling through the ventilation shafts
of the psychiatry center. "So you say this place is loaded with
problem filled Pokemon?" asked Jessie.

"You got it Jess", said Meowth. "These Pokemon will probably be too
messed up to put up a fight. They'll be easy stealing!"

"I like it!" smiled Jessie who was now feeling happy, "But that still
doesn't let you two clowns off the hook! Once we steal all those
Pokemon, I'm still gonna beat you senselessly!"

"Uh, here's the spot", said James as he nervously pointed to an open
hole in the shaft leading to a room.

"Ladies first", said Meowth. Jessie leapt out of the shafts and
landed into the room.

"Prepare for trouble!" shouted Jessie waiting for James to come down
and say his line.

"To protect the world from devastation?" said Jessie puzzled. "Uh, to
denounce the evils of truth and love?" said Jessie. "James you jerk!
Why aren't you down here saying our sacred motto with me?! And
where's all the Pokemon?! There's just some guy in a white suit
here!"

"You must be the girl with the highly explosive temper", said Dr.
Cranium, " When Mr. James told me that you'd be coming in this way,
I didn't think he was serious."

"WHAT?!!!" screamed Jessie. She reached into the shafts and yanked
out James and Meowth by the throats. "Just what is exactly going on
here?!" she shouted, "And you have exactly one second to answer
before I kill you two!"

"We're doing this for your own good and ours too!" cried James.

"Yeah", sneered Meowth, "You're totally impossible to work with! But
this nice doctor's gonna cure you of your shorter than average temper.

"TEMPER?!!!" screamed Jessie. "I do not have a temper! And I'm gonna
prove it to you by skinning you two turncoats into real coats!!!"

Dr. Cranium pulled out two Pokeballs from his labcoat and a couple of
Machokes popped out of them. They grabbed Jessie and strapped her to
a table.

"Just you wait!" screamed Jessie, "As soon as I break loose, I'm gonna
destroy this looney bin and all of you in MMMGGPLH!!!" One of the
Machokes had stuffed some cotton into Jessie's mouth and then they
rolled her off somewhere.

"Doctor, can you really make Jessie more coolheaded?" asked James.

"But of course", said Dr. Cranium. "If your friend doesn't walk out
of here with a smile on her face by the end of the day, I'll eat my
diploma!"

"I hear those things are high in fiber", said Meowth.

* * * * * *

Ash, Misty and Pikachu were looking through a huge window where they
saw Brock and Nurse Joy sitting across from each other at a small
table.

"Now tell me Brock, what do you think of when you see this?" asked Joy
as she held up a card with an ink-blot on it.

"I see a beautiful woman in a bathing suit sitting in a deckchair
getting a beautiful tan", smiled Brock.

"Funny, it looks like a Butterfree to me", said Joy looking at the
card. Brock wasn't really looking at the picture. He was imagining
Joy in the position he just described.

"Oh Joy, your arms are looking a little red", said Brock taking out
a bottle of suntan oil, "Here, let me lather you up!" He grabbed
Joy's arm and started squirting oil all over it. Just then Brock
suddenly got electrified.

"Pikachu, what did you do that for?!" asked a singed Brock. He
suddenly saw Pikachu outside the window on top of Ash's head
realizing it wasn't him that shocked him. Brock looked up and saw a
Magnemite hovering over him.

"I'd like you to meet my assistant", said Joy as she wiped the oil
off her arm with her apron. "Every time you lose control of yourself,
Magnemite will let you know."

"It looks like you might have some competition Pikachu", said Misty.

"Pika!" said a jealous Pikachu.

* * * * * *

James and Meowth were looking through another window where they were
watching Dr. Cranium sitting next to an angry Jessie who was still
strapped to the table.

"All right Jessie," said Dr. Cranium, "I'll say a word and you say the
first thing that comes to your mind."

Doctor: "pumpkin"
Jessie: "Smash"
Doctor: "Jam"
Jessie: "James"
Doctor: "uncle"
Jessie: "and"
Doctor: "bark"
Jessie: "Meowth"
Doctor: "hotel 1"
Jessie: "into"
Doctor: "peace"
Jessie: "SMITHERINES!!!"

James and Meowth held each other in fear after they put all of
Jessie's words together.

"Maybe you'd feel better talking to Petey Pikachu", smiled Dr.
Cranium as he held a Pikachu hand puppet up to Jessie's face.

"Hello Jessie-poo", said Petey Pikachu in a squeaky voice. "Can I be
your friend please?"

"PIKACHU!!!" shouted Jessie as she broke free from her straps and
grabbed the puppet while squeezing the circulation out of Dr.
Cranium's wrist. "Now I got you you little rodent!"

"AUUUGGH! LET GO! LET GO!" shouted Dr. Cranium not realizing he was
still speaking in his Petey Pikachu voice.

"Where are your electric shocks now?!" laughed Jessie. "Don't tell me
the all mighty Pikachu has lost his power?!" Just then, a flock of
Magnemites flew into the room and shocked Jessie unconscious. Dr.
Cranium looked sadly at his poor mangled puppet.

"Maybe we should get the Doc some mustard packs for his diploma",
said Meowth.

* * * * * *

Ash and his friends were now in a computerized room operated by
Joy. They were watching a shirtless Brock standing on a treadmill.
He had wires attached to his chest and back and a strange looking
visor over his eyes.

"This test will show us how serious his hormone problem is", said
Joy. She activated the treadmill and Brock started walking slowly.
He suddenly found himself walking through a beautiful field where
Pokemon were roaming freely. He smiled as he passed the Pidgeys and
Butterfrees flying high and free and the Mankeys and Sandshrews
running peacefully through the grass.

"He sure seems happy", said Ash as they watched Brock walking without
a care in the world.

"He's not looking at pretty girls through that visor is he?" asked
Misty.

"No, not yet", said Joy as she checked the blips on her monitor. "He
seems to act normal and relaxed when he's near Pokemon. Now let's
try this program", and she turned the dial on her computer.

Brock then found himself walking on a beach and in front of him was a
truck driving slowly. In the truck were six beautiful girls in
bathing suits waving at him.

"Gotta catch 'em all!" shouted Brock as he started running full speed
on the treadmill. The blips on Joy's monitor were dancing around
like crazy.

"I don't believe it!" said Joy reading the chart, "He must be going
at least 40!"

"He must really like Pokemon that much", said Ash.

"I don't think that's what he's gawking at", said Misty.

Brock now had his arms out like he was trying to hug something. The
treadmill started to spout out smoke and sparks started shooting out
of the monitor. "TAKE COVER!" shouted Joy as she tackled Ash, Misty
and Pikachu onto the floor. The monitor exploded in one big BANG!!!"

"This is more serious than I ever imagined!" said Joy. They all
looked at the damaged equipment and Brock who was lying on the floor.

"Why am I in a blizzard?" asked Brock as he was looking at static
through his visor.

* * * * * *

In another room, Jessie was seated at a table with Pokemon shaped
holes on the top. Next to her was a bin filled with Pokemon shaped
pegs. "I'm too old to be playing with blocks!" she shouted.

"The sooner you fill those holes, the sooner you can leave this place
forever", said Dr. Cranium.

"Oh, all right!" grumbled Jessie as she grabbed some pegs. She tried
putting a Voltorb peg into a Staryu hole and a Snorlax peg into a
Bellsprout hole with no luck at all.

James and Meowth were looking through the outside window and they saw
Jessie getting madder by the minute. "Look at that huge vein on her
forehead", said Meowth. "It's big enough to pop out like a tentacle
and strangle the Doc."

"Better him than us", said James nervously.

"There's one way to get the best of Pokemon either living, dead or
non-living!" shouted Jessie. She pulled a huge mallet out of nowhere
and smashed all the pegs into the wrong holes taking the table down
with it.

"Interesting", said Dr. Cranium, "A violent temper can make one do
the most impossible things like bring out huge blunt objects out of
nowhere."

"That's nothing compared to this!" yelled Jessie as she pulled out a
huge bazooka and started blasting everything in sight causing Dr.
Cranium to hide under the smashed table. Jessie then saw her
teammates peeking through the window in fear.

"Why hello you two traitors", smiled Jessie. "This is from Jesse with
love!" she shot an extra-large missle at the two who managed to duck
away in time.

Dr. Cranium quickly pulled out his remote control and a door opened
where even more Magnemites flew in. It took about 50 Magnemites to
shock Jessie unconscious. James and Meowth got up and saw the
destroyed room and window.

"I'll just add all of this to your bill", called out Dr.Cranium.

"I wonder if he has change for a penny?" said James.

* * * * * *

Brock was in a blank empty room dressed in a superhero's costume
while his friends and Joy were watching him through a window above.
"Okay Brock", said Joy through a microphone, "We're going to do a
little role playing. You're about to see a holographic illusion in
which you'll be a superhero who has to make an important decision.
Are you ready?"

"You bet!" smiled Brock, "And after this, maybe we can fly off to the
Milky Way together." Magnemite shocked him for losing control.
"Okay, I'll be a good hero", gasped Brock.

Joy activated a button and Brock suddenly found himself in a quaint
little countryside at night. "SOMEBODY HELP US!!!" called out some
voices. Brock turned around and found Ash, Misty and Pikachu tied to
a railroad track about to get hit by a speeding train.

"WAAAUGH!!!" shouted Ash, "How did we get down there?!"

"Uh, Ash" said Misty, "We're all still here in the control room.

"Correct Misty", said Joy, "This is all an illusion just for Brock.
I'm sure he'll do the right thing here."

"Hold on guys, I'm coming!" shouted Brock. Just then, he heard a
woman scream. He turned around and found a blonde woman in a sexy
dress holding a broken heel.

"The heel on my shoe broke!" she wailed. "Now I'll have to limp all
the way to the beauty contest which means I'll miss the swimsuit
competition! WAAAAAH!!!!"

Brock quickly looked over in panic at his friends who were about to
die then he gazed at the pretty girl he never met before who was
about to miss her beauty contest.

"I can only make one rescue", said Brock, "What should I do?!" He
looked at the train that was speeding closer and closer to his
dearest friends. Then he ran at full speed, picked up the girl and
rushed her to her beauty contest. The real Ash, Misty and Pikachu
fainted at the sight they just saw.

"Wrong choice!" smiled Joy as she pushed another button on her
control deck. A flash of light appeared and Brock found himself tied
to the track with the train about to hit him.

"NO! STOP! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO IT!!!" screamed Brock as he shut his
eyes waiting to be splattered across the country. When he opened his
eyes, he found himself back in the empty room on the floor untied.

"You see Brock", said Joy, "Your obsession of beautiful women can
sometimes end up hurting your friends. I just wanted you to see how
it felt when you were in their shoes."

Misty angrily grabbed the mike from Joy. "How dare you choose some
strange blonde over the lives of your dearest friends!" she shouted.

"Hey, Nurse Joy said it was only an illusion", said Brock. "You all
didn't really get hurt and besides, after this treatment I may not
get another chance to play superhero to a pretty girl again."

"Magnemite, give him an ultra-shock NOW!!!" screamed Misty and that's
what Magnemite did.

"Maybe he will get superpowers from all those shocks", wondered Ash.

* * * * * *

Just what am I doing in this big empty room?!" shouted Jessie.
"Someone had better give me an answer or I'm gonna have to crack open
every head on this planet! Starting with James's and Meowth's!!!"

James and Meowth were watching nervously through the window above
while Dr. Cranium was in front of them maintaining a control panel.
"How is putting Jessie in an empty room going to help her?" asked
James.

"Just watch and see", said Dr. Cranium as he pushed a button. Nine
doors suddenly opened and a pack of Ninetales came out surrounding
Jessie.

"I figured if the shock therapy won't work on her, maybe the burn
therapy will." Explained Dr. Cranium. "Now this list you made of
everything that makes Jessie angry is accurate. Right?"

"You got it Doc", said Meowth, "And believe us, James and I had to
learn all about that stuff the hard way!"

Jessie stared at all the Ninetales wondering what was about to
happen. Just then a hologram of a girl and her mother appeared.

"Mommy, look at that scary old witch!" said the girl as she pointed
to Jesse.

"OLD WITCH?!" screamed Jessie.

"Now don't call her that dear", said the mother. "She can't help
being old and unattractive."

"Why you miserable old crone and you little brat!!!" shouted Jessie
who was turning redder than her hair. "When I get my hands on you,"
but then the holograms disappeared and one of the Ninetales blasted
fire at Jessie until she was charred black.

"You see Jessie", said Dr. Cranium through his microphone, "Every time
you start to burn up inside, the Ninetales will burn you on the
outside."

"Why you miserable quack!" hollered Jessie, "How dare you do this to a
member of the feared Team Rocket!!!" Just then, two Ninetales started
to fire at her. Jesse started to rub the soot out of her eyes when she
saw a Jigglypuff floating in front of her. It took out a marker,
scribbled all over her face and took out a mirror. Jessie looked with
rage at the handlebar mustache and stitches drawn on her face.

"MY FACE!!!" she yelled, "That does it!!! Marring the world's most
perfect face really bites the bullet!!!" That extreme burst of
temper caused all the Ninetales to blast out at Jessie until she
looked like a piece of curvy charcoal. "Could someone turn on the air
conditioning please?" she asked sweetly.

"She said please", smiled Dr. Cranium. "It looks like were making
progress now."

"He's right Meowth", whispered James, "That's as nice Jessie's ever
been."

* * * * * *

Brock was lying on a couch where a Hypno had just used its hypnosis
powers to put him to sleep. "I told this Hypno the kind of dream I
wanted put in Brock's head", said Joy, "When he wakes up, he'll have
a brand new different point of view about pretty girls."

Brock suddenly found himself washed ashore on a deserted island.
When he got up, he found himself surrounded by beautiful native women
dressed in leis, coconut bras and grass skirts.

"Oooooh! I've drowned and gone to Heaven!" said Brock smiling. The
girls all started to dance around him while he shook his head to the
beat. Suddenly, all the girls started to morph into Jynxes with
extremely huge lips.

"AAAUUUUGGH!!!" shouted Brock as each Jynx's lip started to cover his
entire body until he was in complete darkness. When the darkness
cleared, Brock looked down at his body and was shocked to find that
he was wearing a red dress and high heels. He was really frightened
when he found out he had the actual body of a girl. Just then, 20
Brocks appeared in front of him.

"Hey there babe!" they all shouted at once. "Why not let Brock the
Rock really rock your world!" The real Brock ran away in fear, which
was tough when you're wearing high heels.

* * * * * *

Ash and his friends were watching Brock tossing and turning in his
sleep. "That must be some nightmare he's having", said Misty.

"Don't worry", smiled Joy, "He'll be a new man when he wakes up."

"I just wonder if my Charizard is going through the same treatment",
said Ash.

"We can check up on it if you'd like", said Joy. "Hypno, you come and
get me when Brock wakes up, okay?"

"Hypno", said the Hypno as Joy led Ash, Misty and Pikachu into a
hallway.

They found themselves following Joy through a hallway filled with
windows. Each window had a Chansey giving psychiatric help to a
Pokemon. One room had a Chansey watching two Cubones hitting each
other with padded clubs instead of bone-clubs.

"I thought Chanseys were just nurses", said Misty, "I didn't know
they were also psychiatrists too."

"Even Pokemon have problems, bad habits and insecurities just like
people do", said Joy. "All of the Chanseys here have been trained in
the art of psychology."

They saw one Chansey talking to a nervous Paras that was lying on a
small couch. "What's wrong with that Paras?" asked Ash.

"This poor Paras has the dellusions that a city in France had stolen
his name", said Joy.

Another room had a Chansey giving help to a Koffing. "This Chansey is
trying to get this Koffing to stop smoking", said Joy.

"Aren't Koffings supposed to shoot out smoke?" asked Ash.

"No, this Koffing is addicted to cigarettes", said Joy, "Tobacco
could be dangerous to a Koffing when combined with its own poison."

"Hey Ash, there's your Charizard" said Misty. Ash and Pikachu looked
through the window and found Charizard strapped belly-down to a table
while a Chansey was trying to reason with it. Charizard only replied
by shooting angry shots of fire while a flock of Magnemites kept
shocking it for its fiery outbursts of anger.

"Poor Charizard", said Ash, 'It looks like its been shocked quite a
number of times."

"Pika", said Pikachu who felt sorry for Charizard and jealous of all
those countless shocks those Magnemites could produce.

"This Charizard sure seems like a tough case", said Joy, "But we have
our best Chansey in there on the job."

"Hypno, Hypno", called out Hypno who just walked into the hallway.

"Ah, Brock is awake", said Joy. "Come on everyone. Let's go see the
new and improved Brock", and they all followed the Hypno.

* * * * * *

Meanwhile, another Hypno was giving the same hypnosis treatment to
Jessie. She found herself in a forest dressed as Snow White. She
tried to speak but all that came out of her mouth were beautiful high-
pitched notes.

"LA LA LA LA LA!" sang Jessie surprised. Just then some Pokemon like
Pidgeys, Rattatas, and Exeggcutes came up to her smiling and enjoying
her beautiful singing. Jessie suddenly felt a brand new feeling
inside of her. She was completely surrounded by Pokemon but she
didn't want to capture any of them. She smiled as she stuck out her
finger where a Pidgey perched itself on it. Then they both sang to
each other.

* * * * * *

James, Meowth and Dr. Cranium watched Jessie smiling in her sleep. "Is
that what I think it is on her face?" asked Meowth.

"It's a smile!" said James, "But not the evil smile we've all grown
to love."

"I believe that Dr. Frenzer Cranium has done it again", said Dr.
Cranium proudly. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some other patients
I need to check up on. Please remain here with Jessie until she wakes
up", and he left the two with the singing while sleeping Jessie.

"Have we made a big mistake?" wondered James.

* * * * * *

Brock was sitting on the couch hugging his knees and shaking
nervously. "Rise and shine Brock!" said Joy as she entered the room.
Brock screamed at the sight of her and hid under the couch.

"Brock, what's the matter?" asked Ash as he and Misty pulled him out
from under the couch. Brock took one look at Misty and shouted,
"AAAAAAHHH! ANOTHER EVIL GIRL!!!" He jumped up and clutched onto the
ceiling like a spider.

"I guess the Hypno therapy worked a little too well", said Joy.

"This is terrible!" cried Ash, "We only wanted him to stay away from
pretty girls, not Misty!"

"What's that supposed to mean?!" growled Misty as she grabbed Ash by
the coat.

"Greetings everyone", said Dr. Cranium as he entered the room. "And
how is our little ex-loverboy doing?"

"Just look for yourself!" complained Ash. "He's now completely scared
of all women, even Misty!"

"He might have to be put in an institution that's run by only men
thanks to your Hypno!" said Misty.

"Oh dear", said Dr. Cranium, "Maybe I can set up another appointment
for him a week from Tuesday."

Suddenly, they heard a loud blast. Everyone except Brock ran into
the hallway and found Charizard flying around blasting fire all over
the place.

"I don't believe it!" cried Ash. "Charizard is more reckless than
ever!" A slightly burned Chansey stumbled into the hallway carrying a
damaged Magnemite in its pouch.

"Oh no!" said a worried Joy, "I guess all of that shock therapy has
completely pushed Charizard over the edge!"

"Will Charizard ever be the same again?!" asked Ash.

"I know my center will never be the same again if we don't stop that
thing!" shouted Dr. Cranium. He sent out his Machokes to restrain the
raging reptile, but Charizard just threw them both across the room
with a powerful seismic toss.

Pikachu was about to thundershock Charizard. "No Pikachu!" shouted
Ash. "Charizard's had too many shocks for one day! Squirtle, I
choose you!"

"Squirtle!" said Squirtle as it popped out of its Pokeball.

"Use your water gun now!" commanded Ash. Squirtle squirted a jet of
water at Charizard, but Charizard just shot a bolt of fire turning
the water into steam causing Squirtle to duck into its protective
shell.

"Maybe three water Pokemon will stop it", said Misty as she jumped in
front of Charizard and released her Goldeen, Staryu and Psyduck.

"All three of you use your water gun attacks now!" commanded Misty.
Goldeen and Staryu squirted water at Charizard while Psyduck just
squirted its water in the air like a fountain. "Psyduck!" grumbled
Misty.

The water attacks didn't seem to put out the all powerful Charizard.
It just swung its tail knocking away all three of Misty's Pokemon.
"Oh no!" cried Misty as she tried to get to her Pokemon but couldn't
for Charizard had trapped her in a corner. Everyone watched in fear
as Charizard was pumping itself up for a powerful fire blast to give
to Misty.

"Somebody do something please!!!" cried a frightened Misty. Ash and
Pikachu ran into the room where Brock was still shaking in fear.

"Brock, you have to help Misty!" pleaded Ash. "Your Onix is the only
thing that can stand Charizard's fire!"

"But I can't!" cried Brock, "Misty's a girl! If I help her, I could
get hit by a train or even worse!"

"You can't let your fear of women stop you from saving a long time
friend!" cried Ash. "Please try and overcome it for Misty's sake!"

"Pika, Pi!" pleaded Pikachu.

Brock slowly got up and developed a strong face, took two of his
Pokeballs out of his pocket and left the room while Ash and Pikachu
followed him.

Dr. Cranium and Joy held each other in fear wondering when
Charizard was going to burn Misty. Just then, they saw Brock running
with his Zubat and Onix following him.

"Zubat, use your haze attack now!" commanded Brock. "Zubat quickly
sprayed a thick fog around Charizard so it couldn't see a thing.
Then Brock slipped past Charizard, grabbed Misty and got her out of
harm's way.

"You saved me Brock!" said Misty relieved.

"Yeah, I did", said Brock , "And I'm still alive as well!"

Charizard used its flames to burn away the fog so it could see
again. Then it suddenly went black for Charizard when Onix slammed
its rocky tail against Charizard's head. Everyone gathered around
the unconscious lizard.

"Is there any hope for it doctor?" asked Ash.

"I predict that that conk on the head will restore Charizard to its
old stubborn self", said Dr. Cranium. "Just keep it in its Pokeball
for a few days and DON'T call me in the morning!"

* * * * * *

Later that day, Team Rocket had left the center. James and Meowth
were walking down the street while Jessie was skipping happily. "I've
never felt this good in all my life!" she sang sweetly. "In fact,
I've never felt this good before at all. Thank you my dear friends",
she said as she pinched both their cheeks. "I'm gonna treat you both
to a nice dinner for introducing me to that wonderful doctor!"

"Maybe this wasn't a big mistake after all", smiled James.

"Now maybe we all can catch and steal Pokemon in peace", smiled
Meowth.

"Oh no no no my cute litle kitty", smiled Jessie, "Pokemon should be
roaming free in the wild. From now on, we're all gonna donate our
lives to helping, nurturing and freeing innocent little Pokemon from
nasty trainers!"

"We've created a non-monster!" thought James and Meowth worried.

"By the way", asked Jessie, "How did you pay the doctor? I thought we
were almost broke."

"We just mailed the bill to the boss", said Meowth. Jessie's sweet
smile suddenly turned into a sour frown with sharp teeth. Her
eyebrows became hairy and veins started popping out of her head like
crazy.

"Why you brainless cheeseheads!!!" screamed Jessie as she grabbed her
teammates by the throats. "We're already in enough trouble with his
royal meanness! I oughta rip out both your spleens and stuff them
down each other's throats!!!"

James and Meowth just gave a grateful sigh of relief knowing that
their fearful, I mean fearless leader was back.

* * * * * *

Ash and his friends were outside the center saying goodbye to Dr.
Cranium and Nurse Joy. "Hold it", said Dr. Cranium, "I forgot to give
you this." He handed Ash a bill with a lot of numbers on it.

"WAAAUGHH!!!!" cried Ash, "Why is this bill so high?!"

"Most of it is for the damage your Charizard did to my center", said
Dr. Cranium.

"Don't worry Ash", said Misty, "I'll just mail this bill to my
sisters. After tricking me into doing their play for them a few
months ago, I told them that they owed me. Heh heh heh heh!" she
laughed wickedly.

"Well you can be sure that I've learned my lesson", said Brock. "From
now on I'll never go after another strange girl again."

"Excuse me doctor", said a pretty voice. A pretty girl holding a
Farfetch'd in her arms had appeared with the group. "My Farfetch'd has
been having nightmares that its being harassed by a wascilly
Wigglytuff. Can you help it?"

"I believe I can", said Brock wrapping his arm around the girl's
shoulders. "I happen to have a degree in Farfetch'd therapy which we
can discuss over dinner tonight."

"I don't believe this!" sighed Misty.

"Well you can't expect him to quit cold Farfetch'd", smiled Ash.

"Pika!" sighed Pikachu.
