Ash's Dad

Disclamer: I don't own Pokémon, so please don't sue me! I'm not making money off of this (I wish).

Ash's Dad

While Ash was walking in Celadon City, he spotted a poster, written on it was,

///////////////////////////

| It's a day for Fathers |

Ash sighed as he had read the poster. Brock and Misty was with him they knew how he felt without his Dad, especially Misty, she had never seen her Dad when she was 8. Misty had thought Ash's Dad was dead, but she had a feeling that the gang would meet him. It was a cool day on June 10th. Just 10 more days until the festival Ash thought.

In Pallet town, Ash's Mom decided to invite her husband for dinner on June 20th in Celadon City where Ash supposed to be with his friends. Mrs. Ketchum though she could even go to the festival with Ash's friend's family! She jot down the plans and the information that she knew about Misty's parents and Brock's Parents. She did know her son said something through the phone that they were, 2 gym leaders. Of course! She went to the Phone book and dialed the first gym that held the Boulder badge then, the second Gym that held the Cascadge Badge.

5 days later, Brock said he needed to go to the Celadon Mart to buy presents for his dad, "Who need presents when you don't know your own Dad?" But they went anyway.

On the 3rd floor, filled with shoppers, Ash saw someone that almost resembles him! He took a closer look. He had the messy hair like Ash; he had some Pokéballs with him and most of all, his voice! "My voice was like that, but his was more with a low tone." He wondered if he was his dad, so he came closer. Then, someone jerked him away; Misty was showing him a bike she wanted to repay her back. He was disappointed. But, he had a picture in his mind of him.

At Ash's house, Mrs. Ketchum had everything planned down. Now, all she needed was her husband, she had a little memory of his cellophane number but stilled remembers them. She dialed 085-150-3813 now is the time to wait for him to answer…

2 more days later, Ash found Pokémon battles along the way with Bug Catcher's but won every single one.

Misty also found someone, a gentleman, complaining about his chipped bike, from what he looked like, messy on one side of his orange hair and combed on the other, he looked rich too. She knew a long time ago her rich father had built the Cerulean gym. "Maybe he's my Dad." Misty murmured to herself. But shook her head and went on.

On Father's day they decided to go to the festival to see what's going on. On the far side, was the party with Ash's mom and the other parent's of Brock and Misty.

As the gang saw the happy faces of the kids, he spotted the same man he saw at the store, he came over to take a closer look, that man that he saw was talking to his Mom! Brock and Misty saw the same thing so they all ran to them.

Everyone was there, their Mom. (Not Brock's though) There was lots of laughter too! Ash meets his parents, Misty meet her parents, and Brock met again with his dad.

Until dawn, they all needed to go home, Misty went with her family, Brock went with his brothers, sisters and his Pop, and Ash went home bike riding with his Mom and Dad. They chatted along the way on their 3-seated bike.

They felt like a family.

They act like a family.

They are a family.
