don't own Pokémon. It belongs to Nintendo.

Misty I:

The meaning to be a mom: To Dhalias and Baby breaths.

"I've never had a mom."

That's what I told him the time he asked me when we still travelled together. We were in Johto at that time and he just decided to make this question, one day before Mother's day.

I remember we were together looking for some wood Brock had asked. It was getting dark, and he seemed a bit sad. In that moment, I assumed it was because he was not getting in time to next town to make a call to her. Delia Ketchum, his mom.

This situation brought me some memories I don't want to think of. The many times I've been asked a same question, at school, the Pokémon center of Cerulean or at the same Gym. "Do you have a mom, Misty?" "Was he suppose to ask it too?, please no!"

"Hey Mist, you've met my mom. You know what day is Tomorrow, right?...and you..."

"Yeah, I know what day is tomorrow Ash."

I knew what'd be his question. I felt sorry, the way I responded his comments felt like I was upset with him. It was that I always felt envious of him having a mom.

I still remember the first time he told me he wanted to make a call to his mom. We were at the Pokémon Center, I was upset with him for my bike, and I made fun on him for that. I felt like a witch for doing that, but at the same time, I felt a little jealousy because he can make a call to his mom, that wonderful woman who always waits for him at home.

"Are you upset with me, Mist?"

No, I was not upset with him. At least not at that moment. His question and the way it sounded, made me feel like I hurt him, so I just looked into those chocolate eyes that in that time were making me feel something I could not identify yet, and I started to say something.

"Ash, I'm sorry..." I started to make my sincere apology. "I'm really sorry you won't get at time to call your mom tomorrow."

"I know, don't worry..." He seemed upset at first but then he changed his expression. "You know?, this...this never happened before, but I know she'll understand it." He gave me a smile while collecting some branches. But then, he made a pause. He seemed insecure to ask, but at the end, he did it.

"It's just you never talk about your mom. And sorry, but I wanted to know why...Don't get upset with me Misty." He seemed a bit nervous to ask me. "...Ga-Gary's mom died when he was nine and..."

And he seemed cute, was he blushing? I got distracted with his little blush. He's always been cute at blushing and stattering. I really didn't want to share a sad story with him. So I just focussed myself in his cute blush.

I've never wanted to seem broken. And Ash Ketchum is and forever will be, the last person I want to seem broken to.

"I've never have a mom, Ash. That's why I never talk about her." I just said it clear and sound, and push my mind on collecting those branches.

There was not a tragic story. It was simple, I've never have a mom. I don't know if she is dead or she is living another life. Who knows? Maybe I've got other siblings somewhere.

But I'm sure she abandoned us for any reason when I was a baby.

I don't consider my sisters like the best mothers substitutes neither. I love them and still I do even though they still behave like teens. At that time, the situation was worse, I used to fight with them a lot maybe it was because, I was only ten. I felt like the World was my challenger, and Daisy was not my best option for a role model mom.

I accept it, visiting professor Oak for checking on my azurill conditions, was not the only reason I escaped from my duties as new Gym Leader to go to Pallet Town. It was for Ketchum. Yeah, it was for Ash but also for his mom, Delia Ketchum. Even thought I was the new leader, sometimes I felt lonely and i thought in her, so i visited her.

May, Dawn, and his other companions could say many things about her: "Ash's mom is really nice" "I like her, she is so cute and funny." It was strange but at that time I don't remember I've ever felt envious of any of them having a mom. Even when those parents that abandoned Brock returned home and I was happy for him.

Maybe it was because I was 13, but I am thankful for Ash for many things in my life, and Delia Ketchum is one of them. I don't want to sound so presumptuous, but I'm really sure that no one love Ash ketchum's mom after him more than me. And that's because one thing:

She simply doesn't care if she only had one child. She always wanted a daughter. Hahaha, that was she told me one time.

I'm not gonna tell Ash this.

Never.

"I love my little baby, but I've always wanted a daughter."

I can't believe she said something like that. But anyway, thanks to that woman I felt like for the first time I've got a mom.

Since I left Ash's side, I've always called her in Mother's Day because I knew how much sad Ash looked that time in Johto, but also because I felt like I needed to give that special day to someone and she was the only person I though. I felt I could do it for her.

I'll forever remember what she told me one day.

It was my birthday and it was raining. I was lonely in the Gym because my beautiful sisters had travelled to Orange islands two weeks before. They couldn't arrive on time. Well, it was my birthday so I took the day off. I was swimming with my Pokémon until I heard the bell.

"Mrs. Ketchum, what surprise,? please, come in."

"Misty, why are you swimming in this weather?, you'll get a cold." She scolded me, but I felt her sincere worry for my well being.

"Are you alone today Misty?"

I wonder if someone told her it was my birthday, or did she assume I was alone most of the time by her own way.

However...

"Misty..." She looked into my eyes.

"Today is your especial day, do you want to go shopping with me Misty?"

"Go shopping? But it was raining outside..."

"Happy Birthday, Misty!", She gave me a big hug. She didn't care she wet her clothes at giving me a big hug.

"Thank you so much, Mrs Ketchum."I gave her a smile but in that moment I felt like some tears would escape from my eyes. I never wanted to seem a weak girl.

"Hey Misty... She touched my arm gently and said, "Look, I know I'm not your mom but..." She played with her hair, she seemed a bit like him. I know where Ash's cuteness comes from.

"I've met you for 3 years, and I know you feel so lonely. I want you think in me as your mom. Can you consider me like a mom, Misty?" She made a pause. And then added : "Because you are already like a daughter to me."

I just gave her a hug. Then we smiled together. Since that day, I felt we became very close. We went shopping with the rain.

Delia Ketchum became my mom even though I never called her that. And I told her everything. She knows about my secret crush on Ash. It was really embarrasing to tell her that.

My first kiss was taken by force, and I told her how terrible it was. When I told her I slapped that guy, she gave me a hug and awarded me with homemade chocolates.

She helped me a lot in improving my cooking skills...

...into face my physical appearance insecurities. Yeah, the cutest girl in the World has body issues.

"I am not as cute as her."

"You are beautiful too. And I like you better than her," she winked at me.

Please, we were talking about the girl who stole a kiss from his son. It seems unfair and at the same time so funny.

"Mom will always believe the daughter is the cutest."

It was unfair but at the same time it brought me some satisfaction. Then, she took my hair wearing a serious expression. "It's time for a makeover." She sang and gave me another wink.

When Tracey married my sister Daisy and I became an auntie, i was happy. "You've become a mom, Daisy."

I said those words and did not hurt it anymore.

It seems like a child changed the life of a woman, and it seemed pregnancy made my sister more responsible. I thought on a long after possibility.

"What kind of mother I would become?"

But that thought was something so far from my plans. My heart was broken, and I made some mistakes like hurt people I didn't want to do.

.

.

.

She is the only person I've ever cried in front of. She forgave me when I confessed I've kissed a guy I know now, because I was upset with her son and for my sister's driving. I know, it was bad what I did. Since my biggest fight with Ashton Ketchum, I had been evading Pallet Town for a while.

At the end, she came to the Gym. So I had to confess.

" I know I hurt his feelings."

"Not only Ash's feelings but the guy's too."

"I don't know what to do."

"Be sincere, that's it. Its time to be sincere with yourself, Misty, with that guy and with Ash too."

Her words were what I needed, what we both needed.

.

.

.

"Sorry but I've always loved Ash."

My wedding day was a bittersweet thing. Two people were absent, and the other was here just to give him congrats. I really hope these people find happiness at the end. "Yeah, you too Serena."

Dahlias and Baby breaths...

For tradition it had to be a name of a flower. It must have to be a flower. Like me, my sisters and her.

But it was Soleil the name she suggested. She said it was like the sunflowers with the color of the sun, Soleil will become my...

"Misty, you can do it...!"

...Our warm start. We got married on summer.

"This is my biggest fight!"

"Pikachu-pi!"

"Maybe it's true you don't know the meaning of the word MOM..."

"Thank you Misty. Thank you..."

"At least no until you become one..."

I don't know it yet,

I grew up without having one in my first 10 years.

Soleil.

I just could see her eyes, just like mine and her cute black hair.

"I did it..."

I made him happy, we are happy together. And I'll make this baby happy until my last day in in Earth.

I look at him, at our dear and loyal Pikapal and our mom.

.

.

.

And I smiled at her. "Mom" I said it for the first time.

I became a mom and it was the best gift I've been given in life.

My real mom never gave us a visit, or a call.

When Soleil was two, I was watching the news. There was the name of someone with the name of Waterflower. A famous model and actress just had an accident. That woman looked awfully like me.

My sisters did not come to see her. I understood their decision. Years ago I realized we felt the same way. They felt lonely too like me, but they never got the same chance as I do. I still love them.

"Forgave me, please... Misty. I..."

"Do not worry, I did it years ago." I said it sincerely, I really stopped to feel ressentment for the woman who brought me to life "When I found someone who from the botton of the heart could call mom," there were my true words I decided to omit.

She did not get too much time left

I visited her the time it was necessary. I also brought Soleil to her.

"Misty, She's so beautiful. I know I am not the best people to say this but... Ne-never do the same as me, please. Tell your sisters I love you all. I really did it this time." And she shed gruesome tears.

" I...I promise to tell them everything," I left a treacherous tear escaped.

Happy Mother's Day mommy," said my cute 5 years old angel with a picture of a caterpie. "That Tracey had helped in that. I'm gonna kill him!"

I tried not to scream.

"That's my favorite Pokémon and I'm giving this to you cuz you'r the cutest, intelligent and strongest mommy in all the world!

"Oh, thank you so much sweetheart!" I promise to keep this forever. " I'll do it because I love you."

"Happy mother's Day you too, dear mommy!" I gave my mom a big hug.

"Mommy, grandma Delia is daddy's mom, how is she your mom but not aunties Daisy, Lily and Violet?"

"It's a long story." Said Ash.

"Someday, I'll tell you Soleil, I promise it."

In honour of my favorite pokeshipping teen fanfic "MEU ANJO." I took Soleil from there, she was the cutest child Ash would have with someone, I said it.

References of Shudo's novelization: Misty made fun of Ash for making a call to his mom, but she felt sad because he was able to do it and she not.

The baby breaths just because they mean Kasumi. I don't care about XYZ ending last scene.

Some scenes of this shot are from my fanfic Fascination de Novelle.

This is the first special occasion one-shot and I will dedícate this to the shipping I loved so much since a child.

Happy Mothers day!

Thank you for reading.

And see you on Father's day!

Thank you!
