Hello, and welcome to my latest story, The Third Star! For those reading Live Life to the Fullest, i'll try to update it soon. Also, although Leaf and Gary are in the story, there's no ORS. Sorry! Also, Professor Oak is in this story, but not as Gary's grandfather. Also, Delia is really OOC.
Gary was only eight years old when his life was about to change forever. His little sister, Dawn, was only one. It all started when Gary, Dawn, and thier mother returned home, only to be thrown out by thier father. With no place they stay, the family catches a train to take them to the small farm that Gary's mom owned. On the way there, however, she died. The station master of the train station, Mr. Oak, helps Gary and his sister take there mother's body to thier farm, where they build a tomb for he. However, a strange man approached them...
"Who are you?" The man asked. "And what are you doing on my farm?"
"What do you mean?" asked Gary. "This was my mom's farm!"
"Yes, but she had taken a loan from me to get this farm. Now move, i'm going to have to tear down that tomb!" The landlord said.
"Please, landlord, don't! It's my mother's tomb! Please, give me a chance, i'll work on our farm to pay you back, please, give me a chance!" Gary begged.
"How can you?" The landlord asked. "You're only a kid."
"Please, give him a chance!" begged Mr. Oak. "If he won't be able to pay off the loan, i'll pay it."
"Okay." The landlord said. "But my name isn't landlord, it's Mr. Shinji."
Grateful, Gary began to work on the farm day after night for years, while looking after Dawn. They slowly grew up, and Dawn even made friends with a rich family's daughter, Leaf. Leaf lived nearby and she and Dawn were like sisters. Ever since she was young, she had a Ponyta that she loved more than anything. However, a couple years later, the Ponyta died. Dawn was so depressed that she refused to eat food. Gary then made her a small, clay Ponyta doll, which cheered her up. Years passed, and soon Dawn was all grown up. She was now in college, and the bond she and Gary shared was stronger than anything. May and Drew also lived on thier farm, including Mr. Shinji's son who was Dawn's age, Paul. Drew and Gary were friends, but whenever you told May 'carefully,' she'd drop whatever she was holding.
One night, Dawn saw Gary sitting on the ground, looking at the stars. She sat next to him.
"Hello, Dawn." Gary said. "You see those two bright stars that are right next to each other?"
"Yeah. It's you and me." Dawn faced her brother. "That's what mom used to say, right?"
"That means, that when Dawn gets married, another star will come in between?" Asked May, who was walking towards them.
"Oh go do your work." Gary said. May began to pick up metal pots.
"Gary, we're running out of bread. Tomorrow should I go to the market to get some more?" Asked Drew, who was walking towards them.
"Yes, but careful-"
CLANG! Everyone turned around and saw May, who dropped her pots.
"Sorry!" she said. Dawn gave Gary a look.
"But I was talking to Drew!" Gary said. Dawn got up and went to help May gather her pots.
"You always drop things, May!" Dawns said.
"Sorry!" May apologized.
"So, Gary, when will you get Dawn married? She is twenty-six, and she just finished her final college exams." said Drew.
"If I find the right guy for her, then i'll get her married, Drew. I'll just have to wait till I find the perfect guy." Gary replied.
Meanwhile, in Cinnabar Island, Kanto region...
Gary and Dawn's farm was in Celestic Town in the Sinnoh Region. But now, the story is shifting to Kanto. Since Kanto and Synnoh are two faraway regions, the time zones differ, so while its night at Gary's farm, it's day at one of Cinnabar Island's beaches, which is where are story starts now.
A young college graduate of Dawn's age was busy surfing in the ocean. Suddenly, his phone rang, which caught him by surprise.
"Woah!" He accidently fell of his surfboard, but climbed back on it. He picked up his phone.
"Hello, dad!" He said.
"Hi, Ash! Where are you?" Asked his dad.
"On the beach." Said Ash.
"Sorry to ruin your fun, but can you come home?" His dad asked.
"Fine." Ash hung up.
At his house...
Mr. Marc and Mrs. Delia Ketchum were having lunch in thier dining room. The Ketchums were one of the top 5 billionaires in Kanto. Delia broke the silence.
"I heard you donated some money to an orphanage?"
"Yeah. 10,000$. Why?" Marc asked.
"$10,000!" Delia exclaimed. "Why waste it by donating it to some orphanage when you could have bought a make up company, or thrown a party for your buisness colleauges, or bought a couple yachts to gift to some of your buisness partners?"
"Because donating that much to an orphanage makes you feel good!" Marc complained.
"Think less about feeling good. Think more about buisness." With saying so, Delia walked out of the room.
"Hi dad!" said Ash, who walked in riding a stuffed Persian. "What's the matter? Did mom yell at you donating money again?"
"Yes." Hid dad replied.
"Then why do you get mad? You know she's like that." Ash said.
"Do you know why the world's biggest philiospher was happy?" Asked Marc, as Delia walked in, which he didn't notice. "Because he never had to bear with his wife yelling at him everyday..."
"Psst, dad!" Ash whispered.
"What?" His dad looked up...and saw an angry Delia. Luckily, his phone rang.
"Oh...hello! Who is this?" Marc asked.
"It's me. Steve, Delia's brother!" said Steve.
"Oh, hello! One minute, let me give the phone to Delia...Delia, it's your brother's phone, from Sinnoh." Delia snatched the phone from Marc.
"Hello, Steve! Why are you calling?" Delia asked.
"Because my daughter Leaf is getting married this month!" Steve said.
"Oh really? This fast?" asked a surprised Delia. Her niece was only twenty-six, of course she was surprised!
"Yes. She's a bit to eager for marriage in my opinion..." Delia interupted her brother.
"But, the guy is from a rich family, right?"
"Yes, Delia..." Leaf, who happened to be with her dad, snatched his phone.
"Hi, Aunt Delia! You'd better come! And, please bring Ash! I haven't seen him since I was six!" Leaf said.
"Hello, Leaf. I'll be sure to bring Ash." Delia hung up. She looked at Ash, who was in the room with them.
"Ash, we're going to Sinnoh!" she announced.
"Yay" He exclaimed.
"Sinnoh?" Asked Marc.
"You aren't going. You have your buisness meeting in Kalos, remember?" Delia reminded him.
"Oh." said a depressed Marc. "I remember."
In a couple hours, the family was at the airport.
"Dad! Don't leave me with mom all alone!" Ash complained.
"Sorry, what can I do? Bye!" said Marc, as Delia began to drag Ash up an escalator by his hoodie.
"Dad! Noooo!"
In Sinnoh...
Now it was morning, and Leaf, who happened to be Dawn's BFF, was at her house.
"Congrats on your engagement, Leaf!" said Dawn.
"Thanks!" said Leaf.
"When is your wedding?" Gary asked.
"In fifteen days." Leaf replied. "And you both have to come."
"We will. We'll come on the day of the wedding." Gary said.
"On the day of the wedding!? Fine, but i'm taking Dawn with me today!" Leaf said.
"Now?" Asked Gary.
"Yes. Dawn, when you get married, how many days before should I come?" asked Leaf.
"Fifteen." Dawn replied.
"But...i've never sent Dawn so far away from me. You guys live in Harthrome City, and that is far from Celestic Town." Gary said.
"So? Dawn has never stayed so far from you either! Please? Please? Please? Please? Please? Please?" Leaf begged.
"Dawn, do you want to go?" Gary asked.
"If you say no, I won't. But...yes, I want to go." Dawn replied.
"Okay. Pack your bags." Gary said.
"Thank you!" Both girls squealed as they hugged him.
How is it so far? Both Ash and Dawn are going to Leaf's for her wedding...oh, I forgot! In this story, Paul likes Dawn, but that won't be important till later on in the story. Please R&R!
