Princess Day

Today Ash and his friends were in a city, but Ash wasn't having a good time. Today was Misty's favorite day of the year; Princess Day. Princess Day was a day for girls, with shopping sales and discounts. Ash, Brock and Tomo were feeling bummed out; they had to carry all of Misty's shopping bags. Misty went on a real shopping spree; she bought clothes and shoes, hair clips, necklaces and bracelets, soft toys of water type Pokemon and new swim suits.

Right now they were at a cafe. Misty enjoyed eating anything sweet like cream cakes and ice cream. Ash, Brock and Tomo had something to eat as well; they needed more energy for the day.

"Big brother I don't like this." Tomo complained.

"Neither do I." Ash said, rubbing Tomo's head. "But it's only one day so bear with it for now."

Jessie was having a good time on Princess Day too. She had bought a ton of beautiful clothes and makeup. She even bought a lot of food and jewelry. Poor James and Meowth had a hard time carrying the bags. As they were taking a breather in the park, James spotted a pink Pokemon.

"Hey, what's that?" She asked.

"That's a Lickitung." James said, looking at it in a Pokemon book. "It says here that it's long tongue can leave it's opponents paralyzed."

Hearing that gave Jessie a good idea.

"I'm going to catch it." She said. "It may prove useful to us."

She chucked one of her Poke Balls at the Lickitung and caught it with no issue.

Back with the gang, Misty was checking out another clothing store. Then suddenly an announcement was heard. The announcement was about the Queen of the Princess Festival contest. And the grand prize was a Pokemon Princess doll set. Of course Misty and Jessie entered the contest. Soon there was a long line of beautiful girls wearing Kimonos on stage. Misty and Jessie were on stage too wearing beautiful kimonos. The announcer showed off the prize. The Pokemon Princess doll set was beautiful. It held ten Pokemon wearing kimonos.

*'I'm going to win that doll set.'* Misty and Jessie thought at the same time.

"This isn't just a beauty contest, but a Pokemon battle contest." The announcer explained. "You will need four Pokemon to battle."

Misty went over to Brock and Ash.

"Can I borrow some of your Pokemon?" She asked.

Ash was a bit reluctant at first, but after seeing the pleading look on Misty's face agreed. Brock agreed as well. So Misty's team was Pikachu, Ivysaur, Vulpix and Starmie.

"So I take it you want the Pokemon Princess doll set, don't you?" Ash asked.

"Yes I do." Misty said. "The truth is when I was growing up my sisters got their own doll sets and all I received were their hand me downs. By the time I got them they were all broken and shabby. So now I will obtain my own Pokemon Princess doll set."

Ash, Tomo and Brock felt sorry for Misty.

"Good luck." They cheered her on.

Misty placed Brock in charge of looking after Togepi.

Thanks to the Pokemon she borrowed from Ash and Brock, Misty defeated her opponents one by one until at last she was now in the finals. Her last opponent was Jessie. Jessie had never received her own princess dolls either as a child. So this was also her chance to obtain her own Pokemon Princess doll set. Jessie's team was Arbok, Weezing and Meowth. Pikachu defeated those three one after the other. Jessie felt like giving up, but Meowth reminded her of Lickitung.

"Oh yeah." Jessie said. "I nearly forgot. Go Lickitung."

Misty was amazed that Jessie had a new Pokemon.

Ash looked at Lickitung on his Pokedex.

"Lickitung, the Licking Pokemon. It's tongue can be extended like a chameleon's. It leaves a tingling sensation when it licks enemies."

"Misty might be in trouble." Ash said.

And he was right. Lickitung's Lick attack defeated Pikachu, Ivysaur and Vulpix. Misty grew frustrated and released her Starmie. Before Lickitung could hit Starmie with it's Lick attack, Misty had her Starmie use Protect which blocked Lickitung's tongue. Misty had trained her Starmie with Ash's Espeon, so it had learned some psychic type attacks as well as Protect.

"Hit it with Hydro Pump." Misty commanded.

The Hydro Pump blasted Lickitung into Team Rocket and sent them blasting off again.

Misty was squealing for joy after she won the contest and Pokemon Princess dolls.

"Thanks for your Pokemon." She told Ash and Brock, then collected her prize.

Then she sent her new clothes, toys, accessories and her new doll set to the Cerulean Gym.

"I can't wait to see the looks on my sister's faces when they see my new Pokemon Princess doll set." Misty smirked. "They're going to be jealous."

So everyone was happy in the end. Misty had won her own Pokemon Princess doll set and Ash, Brock and Tomo were relieved that Princess Day was finally over.
