"Oh, a carnival, huh? Incredible; looks like we've arrived at a pretty good time."
As Gary Oak led his girlfriends to the area near Ash Ketchum and his friends, he noticed the carnival's spectacle. Gary Oak found carnivals quite interesting—especially as there were opportunities to enjoy them.
"This is awesome. A carni… val… without Ash… Oh no! Quick! Everyone buckle up! We need to get out of here now!"
Gary Oak realized something was off; he remembered a terrible thing: while carnivals are great, there's someone whose presence can be deadly!
"Wahaha!!!"
"Meowhaha!!!!"
"Pika-pika-pika!!!!"
"Lucky!!!!"
Accompanied by four earth-shattering laughs, four figures were rapidly approaching Gary Oak and his companions. Upon seeing them, Gary Oak immediately prepared to flee.
"Damn it! Run!"
Whoosh!
Just as Gary Oak was about to escape, a rope instantly bound him. Meowth, pulling on the rope, shouted, "Got him!"
"Lucky! (Leave it to me!)"
Chansey grabbed the rope from Meowth and pulled vigorously, instantly yanking Gary Oak out of his sports car. Ash Ketchum, holding another rope, looked at Gary Oak.
"Yo, Gary Oak! I need your help; I'm sure you'll be more than happy to oblige, right?"
Gary Oak, seeing the rope in Ash Ketchum's hands and the terrifying grins of Pikachu, Meowth, and Chansey, knew he wouldn't be able to dodge it this time.
"I should have run sooner..."
"It's too late now. Let's get started!"
"Don't come any closer!!!!!!"
After a bit of work from Ash Ketchum and Meowth, Gary Oak was bundled up into a caterpillar-like shape. The Continental Hotel employees, who had arrived, took charge of the bound Gary Oak.
"Take him away!"
"Yes!" *N
"Also, please invite Gary Oak's girlfriends over as well."
"Understood!"
Ash Ketchum looked at Gary Oak's girlfriends and said, "I'll need Gary Oak's help over here. Please go along with him for now."
"No problem! No problem! We'll cheer Gary Oak on!" *6
Seeing Gary Oak's girlfriends like this, Ash Ketchum shook his head helplessly and said, "You don't need to act like this with me..."
After Gary Oak and his girlfriends were taken away, Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, Meowth, and Chansey were about to leave when they suddenly heard a voice.
"Please! Please don't leave me!"
The voice was a man's. Ash Ketchum and Meowth exchanged glances.
"Should we go check it out, Boss?"
"Doesn't seem necessary. Probably just a lovers' quarrel."
Ash Ketchum wasn't interested in getting involved; there was no need. However, the next voice sounded different.
"Let go! You're disgusting! Let go! Is anyone there? Can anyone help?"
Hearing this plea for help, Ash Ketchum and the others exchanged glances and nodded.
"Let's go see!/Pika!/Lucky!"
As Ash Ketchum and his team approached the source of the voices, they saw two people—clearly performers—arguing. A magician, looking simple and honest, was hugging what appeared to be his female assistant's leg. The woman looked furious.
"Let go! You're not paying me; why should I work for free?"
"Please! Just for my dream, okay?"
Hearing such shameless words, Ash Ketchum and his friends were speechless. This guy deserved to be beaten…
While Ash Ketchum and his crew were amazed by the magician's audacity, the assistant saw Ash Ketchum and said, "Excuse me, could you please help me get him away from me?"
Ash Ketchum looked at the magician still clinging to her leg and the exasperated assistant, and he shrugged, "Normally, I wouldn't bother, but that shameless comment makes me want to hit him. Go, Eevee; Tackle!"
"Eevee!"
Eevee immediately nodded and charged toward the magician. Suddenly, the magician's Exeggcute jumped out.
"Exeggcute!"
Thwack!
With a Flying Kick from Meowth, the Exeggcute was kicked aside.
"Don't bully the children, Meowth."
Meowth didn't need to exert any strength against this novice Exeggcute. As Meowth kicked Exeggcute aside, Eevee's Tackle struck the magician.
"Ouch!"
Even though Eevee was small, Pokémon had tremendous strength compared to humans. Eevee's Tackle forced the magician to release his grip. The assistant quickly stepped away, fearing he might try to grab her again.
After Tacking the magician, Eevee happily returned to Ash Ketchum's arms.
"Very good. I'll get you something nice later."
"Eevee!"
Hearing Ash Ketchum's praise, Eevee nodded happily and burrowed back into Ash Ketchum's jacket. The assistant, feeling grateful, thanked Ash Ketchum. "Thank you for your help."
Ash Ketchum shook his head, responding, "It's nothing. I wouldn't normally bother, but this guy's…"
Ash Ketchum found the magician's earlier statement disgusting. That was why Ash Ketchum had sent Eevee to tackle him. Some people look harmless, but they're actually rotten, and don't deserve sympathy. Clearly, this magician was one of them.
