It's not always black and white

[Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, hide yo husband and get well the hell away from the tall grass today as it isn't safe without protection. Always bring a condom your Pokémon with you!

With monsters all the hell around Mayfield today, Ash has decided to retaliate by pulling his own monsters from his pocket so that there can be some hardcore Poképwnage whupped out!

Pikachu, Buizel, Infernape, Oshawott, Sceptile and Staraptor may all be seen kicking ass and taking names (Or well, they would be if they could say any names other than their own) at various times under Ash's command.]

Ha! 'bout time we got some good trainin' in!

[Following a conversation with Nia last week, Ash has come up with a new way of keeping himself busy in Mayfield... You may find him around town putting up posters advertising a "Ketchum Detective Agency", or alternatively... on the phone.]

It is no secret to anyone that Mayfield is a town filled with secrets, or if there was anyone it was a secret to... it isn't now! Which is what I'm here to talk about it, in a town with so many secrets and so few answers, someone must uncover the truth! And that someone is me, Ash Ketchum, P.I.!

If you have any mysterious mysteries that need some kind of solving, you can count on me to try and find the answers! ... And if you want a Pokémon Battle, you can count on getting one of those too!

[Today, Ash Ketchum picks up the phone and speaks to the people of Mayfield.]

I left Pallet Town when I was ten years old, I had the grand ambitions to become a Pokémon Master. ... I still dream of becoming one someday, I didn't realise exactly how long it'd take though. Sometimes it feels like I've been doing this over 14 years...

( Cut for a summer Deerling (AKA. TL;DR) )

... Ah, if only things could become simple again.

I'm not really sure what possessed me to say all that...

[It's been about a week since the Tauros stampede and Ash is sitting in the park, holding a Poké Ball, Pikachu sitting there beside him.]

There's no vidphone line to the Professor or Juniper... I wonder where the transporter is storing them? [Sigh.] Well, I guess I'm bound to the rule of six again now, so I can't keep all seven of my Pokémon at the same time...

Pikachuu...

[At some point after this, he'll send out the Pokémon contained within the ball, Glalie. It's up to you as to whether or not the floating ball of ice is already present when you engage him.]

[On the phone today, you may here the slightly exasperated tone of a particular Pokémon Trainer...]

Oh, uh... Has anyone seen a herd of Tauros around town? They kinda belong to me, so uh... It'd help if I knew where they were.

[Phone:]

Oh hey! I just got back the Pokémon Egg I received for helping out that daycare with the Trubbish! I wonder what's inside? Man, I'm so excited! What could it be~? Some kind of Pokémon I've never seen maybe~?

[Action: Today, you may find Ash Ketchum at the park not far from his usual training spot. However, he seems to be taking a break at the moment and sitting on a bench with a rather sizable yellow spotted egg.]
