This chapter starts with Ash calling his mother from a Pokemon centre. The medium-sized black-haired Pokemon trainer was sitting down at one of the call machines where he can speak to his mother and see her face on the screen. Ash's mother Delia was pictured in their kitchen wearing a sparkling yellow summer dress with flowers covering the straps. Delia was a beautiful woman with long dark-red hair in a pigtail.
Chapter 1 - The Romantic Getaway
"Hello honey, how's your journey going?"
"Very well mom I'm on my way to the next gym town now"
"Alright well hope that you have a safe journey. I will be away for about a month now"
"Ok cool so where are you going mom?"
"I'm just taking a trip away to the Seafom Islands with a few of the girls"
"Ok thats nice, hope you have a lovely time there"
"And you too honey, have a lovely journey"
Right after the phone call Proffesor. Oak arrived to Delia's house. The grey-haired middle-aged man was wearing a buttoned red shirt and light brown shorts.
"You right Delia our boat will be leaving in about 1 hour from now"
"All packed and all set Professor"
"Ok that's great, Gary's sister will be minding the lab while we are away so no need to worry about the Pokemon"
After that Delia grabbed her suitcase so herself and Prof. Oak walked all the way to the harbour where they caught their boat about 30 minutes before it departed. After that the boat set sail. When it did Delia and Samuel walked up to the top floor where they could look at the swimming pool where all the other couples were lying down in the sunshine and see the whole of Pallet Town, where they would not be returning to for about a month.
"Are you ready for our romantic getaway Delia?"
"Yeah it should be good"
Delia seemed a little bit anxious while still secretly blushing at the thought of going away with Prof. Oak.
"Oh I'm sorry, this is still about Ash's father right?"
Delia nodded her head in agreeing with Samuel.
"I always wondered what happened to him and I just don't want to be on my own any longer"
"Don't you worry Delia, as long as you have me you will never be alone"
So Prof. Oak grabbed Delia by the waist and kissed her on the lips in what appeared to be a wishing well moment.
Then after the boat departed Prof. Oak walked out toward the swimming pool. He had just emerged from the changing room and was now wearing a pair of orange swimming shorts. He quickly sat down in the jacuzzi where no one else was currently using. All the other people using the pool had taken up the sunbeds and a few more were in the pool. Delia then emerged from her changing room in a dazzling dark blue two-piece bikini. She then began to walk down to the jacuzzi toward Prof. Oak.
"Wow Delia you look absolutely stunning"
"Thanks I try to do my best"
Delia put her two feet into the jacuzzi and gradually submerged her whole body into it. She then sat down beside Prof. Oak and gave him a massive hug. Prof. Oak did the same and he massaged all over Delia's backside.
The pair sat in the jacuzzi for a little while and eventually came out when some of the pool users left the sunbeds. Delia and Prof. Oak then prepared to sit down on two of these sunbeds so that they could each get a tan while reading two of the books they brought along.
Soon the boat docked on the Seafoam Islands so Delia and Prof. Oak quickly got changed and carried their luggage off. They had booked an apartment to stay in for the month, so they quickly visited before going out for dinner.
"What do you say we check out our pad before heading out onto the town?"
"Sounds like an idea, I really need to unravel"
So Delia and Prof. Oak walked into the apartment just facing the south side of the beach, which appreared to be a normal one storey house painted with mahogany walls and yellow/redish wallpaper. There was also a double bed sitting in the middle of the room with a huge white blanket and two pillows. The apartment also had a fridge in at the top hand corner (facing the bed) and a dishwasher to the right of the fridge, left of the fridge was a cooker. So in the passage on the way in was a bathroom on the right hand side and a laundry machine on the opposite side. The room also had a door opening, which had a lovely view of the sea and the beach with a line for all the dirty laundry.
"Seems like a nice pleasant spot to spend the month"
Delia placed her and Prof. Oak's suitcases on the left hand side of the bed and took out her purse, which she would be using for going shopping.
"Alrighty so why don't you say we head out?"
So with that Delia and Prof. Oak left the apartment and headed out into town.
"Luckily I have a guide of all the best restaurants on the island. Now lets see..."
Delia opened her guidebook to check what street they were on and see what restaurants were available.
"Hey why don't we go for the Seaside Surprise?"
"Sounds good" Delia said as she nodded her head in agreeing with Professor Oak.
Meanwhile back at Pallet Town, Gary's sister sat in the corner of the Professor's Pokemon lab and called her brother.
Gary answered his phone "Hello"
"Hi Gary"
"Hello sis, whats the story today?"
"I have surprising news for you and I don't know if we should tell Ash or not because Delia seems a little bit uncertain about it".
"Yehuh, what is it?"
"Ok so you know grandpa asked me to mind the lab for a month as he was going away with friends?"
"Yeah what about it?"
"It appears it has nothing to do with friends, its Delia. Gary, grandpa is going out with Delia"
"Delia, Ash's mom are you serious?"
"They have been going out in secrecy for a while now, I just figured out when I heard they were planning a month away. This is the first time that those two have went away together, they've only just been on a few casual dates so far, but now it looks like its serious"
"So what you think I should let Ash know?"
"I think that for the moment miss Ketchum just wants to see how it goes and if things will work out then she will probably inform Ash when the time is right"
"Ok well, I will wait and see what Delia says about it"
Meanwhile back on the Seafoam Islands, Prof. Oak and Delia are sitting in the restaurant currently waiting on their main course. Prof. Oak is on the side of the table facing the sea so Delia is looking out at the beautiful sunset.
Prof. Oak lifts his hand toward the middle of the table where he hands Delia a small box with diamonds inside.
"Happy anniversary Delia"
Delia took the box from Prof. Oak and she was delighted to see the sparkling diamonds that he purchased with his own money.
"Oh my god, professor that is so sweet"
"I knew that you would like them"
Delia moved out across the table and gave Prof. Oak a kiss on the cheeks.
Soon afterwards the meal they ordered arrived, and after that Prof. Oak and Delia went down for a stroll along the beach.
Delia was walking shoulder to shoulder beside Prof. Oak holding his hand tightly.
"I have never dreamed of such a romantic getaway professor. I really believe that this could be the start of something"
Prof. Oak nodded his head.
"I know you do and I did this all for you"
Prof. Oak then turned around as he held Delia right in front of the sunset and the two embraced for one last kiss before the day came to an end.
The two started to walk back from the beach while passing by a pub where a local musician was playing and singing the song "I'll Make Love To You" by Boyz II Men.
