Family Comes First

Chapter 1

By PikaDarkness

Introduction.

Author's Note: I hope you don't mind that I added two new characters into the story you know Kimmie as Ash's sister and Corey as their father and Delia's husband... anyways just enjoy the story.

Ash, Kimmie, Brock and Misty were walking back to Pallet Town from Cerulean City after Misty's sisters somehow busted the tank in which fresh water flowed into their pool taking the "Dirty" water out. Misty tried to help fix it but was unable to, so she simply said "Call a freaking mechanic!" and stormed out of the place, followed by her chortling friends, and behind her back they had been whispering about it half-way through their journey back. When she asked them what they were talking about they'd fight a losing battle to keep a straight face and say "Oh nothing we're l-laughing about nothing" and she'd keep her eye on them until they passed a bug pokemon - and well you know what she does when she see's one so really there is no need for further explanation.

Right now, Ash Kimmie and Pikachu pulled ahead of Misty and Brock, who didn't like the speed they were travelling at one bit, Misty especially, she was grumbling and saying random insults under her breath.

"Argh slow down man sheesh!" Groaned Misty. "Your walking WAY to fast!"

Kimmie turned around without stopping and cocked an eyebrow at her. "We're not walking to fast; you're just walking to damn slow!" Misty took a slight offence to that but didn't persue the matter, although she would have if Pallet Town couldn't be seen up ahead. Brock gave a sigh of relief that this wasn't one of these times he broke a fight up ... one that wasn't a threat to sanity, health and physical well-being.
"Come on guys lets go!" Shouted Ash then forgetting they travelled miles in 1 and a half days Ash and Kimmie sped up. Well more like ran.

Dodging inbetween pedestrians they raced down the streets in search for theirs, twice they collided with ladies and shopping trolley's other times they failed to notice garbage bins and poles, as a result they rikishaded of them.

That didn't stop them. Laughing at their misfortune they put on another burst of speed as their house and street came into view. Ash pulled slightly ahead and tried and failed to wrench open the gate so in his hysteria he tumbled over the top landing back first on the cement. Kimmie opened the gate almost toppling over with her laughter and giddiness. It was at that time Misty and Brock came to the gate seeing Ash on the ground and Kimmie grasping the gate for support, both were laughing.

Chuckling Brock spoke up his voice cracked and strained from panting and trying so hard not to laugh not to mention giggle. "Alright guys ... that is enough do you want to see your parents? Or do I have to knock and get them to drag you inside?" he crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow - which made them laugh more and within 5 secounds they were literally out-of-breath it seemed to them air was void from the world.

Kimmie fell to her knees laughing; her legs unable to hold her weight any longer. "I'll take option B please!" Brock just sighed. But he couldn't stop himself from looking at Kimmie with love and compassion,

Beckoning Misty forwards they stepped inbetween the Ketchum kids and knocked on the door.

"Pikapi? Pikachupi?" Pikachu sighed questioningly. (A/n: Pikachupi is what I came up with for "Kimmie"). But then he gave up on them as they didn't answer. Jumping on Ash's stomach, who yelped as his heavy Pokémon jumped on him, he followed Misty and Brock.

The door swung open and Corey appeared he nodded and said "Hello" to Misty and Brock who greeted him, and then Corey chuckled as his eyes befell his kids. "Worn out are they?" He asked Brock and Misty. They sighed and nodded.

"Yeah we travelled here from Cerulean City in a day and a half and they barely slept at all, plus they ran from the shopping centres all the way here!" Misty recalled and Corey stared at Ash and Kimmie incredulously. They must have really missed home.

"Suppose I'll have to carry them inside" Corey sighed. "Who do you reckon I should carry in first?" He asked Misty who thought for a moment then replied:

"Ash, he's most likely the heaviest one, it'd be better if you brought him in first."

She had a point Ash was the heaviest, and Corey seemed to think so too. Hoisting his son up with a groan he staggered inside and sat him on the couch. Kimmie was much lighter and he carried her in not complaining one bit about her weight.

"You kids really have to stop pushing yourselves to the limit just to get home, I mean it isn't going anywhere" Corey said, he went to continue but he heard deep breathing, so he looked at his kids and chuckled, they both had fallen asleep.
