"And Red Dragyn wins the match sealing his championship for a whole decade folks." The MC said loudly over the cheering fans. Ash watches the battle with rapt attention. "I want to become just like Red, Mom!" Ash Ketchum exclaimed as Delia Ketchum's smile became forced at the thought of the young man who left her with his other half fifteen years ago who grew up to become Ash Ketchum.

Red smiled softly as he looked up into the stands and smiled softly at Ash, who looked shocked that Red was looking right at him. Red continued to watch his other half before his smile became sad and turned on his and walked away leaving the stadium completely. "WOW, DID YOU SEE THAT MOM, HE SMILED AT ME, ME!" Ash exclaimed as he bounced around excitedly about Red smiling at him.

"We need to leave to get home or we'll be stuck in Virdian City all night." Delia said to her excited son calming him down a little bit. "Okay, mom." He chirped happily.

Red sighed as he rode his Aeroy towards Pallet Town. When he landed, the "Fighter" made his way to Professor Oak's lab. He knocked on the door quietly. Samuel opened the door looking confused. When the Professor's eyes landed on Red, they widened considerably. "Red, what a surprise, what are you doing here?" He asked confused as Red ignored him in favor of walking into the lab, he opened his bag and pulled a Pokeball with a lightning bolt on it and handed it to Oak. "Give this to Ash as his starter Pokemon, I'll make sure he's to late to receive the others." Red said quietly as he made his way towards the front door.

"WAIT!" Red stopped and listened to the older man. "Aren't you going to say anything else, or even stay a while, I mean you haven't even visited your own parent's in six years for crying out loud. I am sure Morty & Prima are worried sick about you." Professor Samuel Oak said annoyed Red was running away, yet again, from his problems.

"..." Was the only response he got as Red opened the front door and left. "Dang it." The Pokemon Professor grumbled under his breath as he went to put the Pokeball away.

She loved Ash she really did, it's just that Red didn't even ask her if it was okay with her he just left him on her doorstep in the middle of June. "Yeah about that, Ash you're not really related to me by blood." She explained to him that the Unown bent reality to create you from a part of Red and that he left the baby him on her doorstep. "Wow, this is a lot to take in, So I'm an empath which is why I've always been empathic towards other living beings, right?" He asked warily of his adopted? Mother!

"Yes, you share everything with Red! Except the Legendary Pokemon that chose you as there chosen one." She said calmly to her son. "You are still my son, Ash, nothing and I mean nothing will ever change that you hear me?" She asked her son, as Richie blinked as he stepped into the room which was tense. "Um, should I leave you two alone for a moment or something?" The auburn haired trainer asked his new best friend. "No, and I will always see you as my mom, because you raised me and that what mom's do, right, mom?" Ash asked his mother.

"Yes, Ashy, it is." She said happily, as Richie stretched his sore muscles and Sparky did the same, Ash & Pikachu got off the couch and headed towards the door followed silently by their travel companions and Delia Ketchum & her Mr. Mime. "Bye Ash, Pikachu, Richie, & Sparky." She said hugging the two boys tightly.

When they finally managed to escape her they ran towards the edge of the city and the beginnings of Route 1 and their adventures together.

Red wandered down a route he hasn't been down in a while as he made his way to Ecruteak City. When he finally stepped foot into the city, he pulled his hat and crimson scarf so that they covered more of his face. He strolled through the city he lived in for ten years and smiled slightly at the memories it brought up. He sighed loudly as arrived outside a rather large house. 'It looks like Gold & Black will have to wait a while because I need to visit dad.' He thought to himself, as he reached for the doorknob with a shaky hand.

He opened it to reveal his dad about to open the door. Morty had changed a bit in the last seven years, he now wore a black sweater with a purple headband & a purple scarf with a skull on part of it. (1) "Um, Hi, dad." Red said using his telepathy to communicate with his father. Morty rolled his eyes at his son's lack of social skills. "Hi Red, so what have you been up to for the last 7 years?" He asks his son as they make there way to the Gym together. "Oh, training, and I now have a boyfriend, his names Gold, I'm sure you've met him before." The Dragon & Water type master said softly, afraid of upsetting his father.

"You don't need to be afraid of making me mad, Red, I know why you stayed away for so long, it was because you needed to follow your own path. And you needed to live independently so you could become who you were meant to be, I can't begrudge you that at all, I'm glad you've become so strong & noble, it makes me feel like I did a good job as you're dad." Morty said laughing softly rubbing the back of his head, causing Red's shoulders to shake, with mirth, and his lips to twitch into a small grin.

"I wondered why Gold seemed so skittish around me, now I know he's been dating my little boy." Morty smirked as he saw Red's face turn a shade of red to match his namesake. "I chose, Mom (2), as one of the Kanto Elite Four, dad." Red said quietly as he stared up at the sky with a peaceful expression on his face. "Good choice, I heard you chose the former Unova Champion, Nate (3), a set of twins who used to be gym leaders (4), & two hero's from the Orre Region (5 & 6) as the other Elite. All good choices, Red." Red's father said softly as he hugged his child, who he knew wanted to leave to go back where his love was, to Gold.

"I still want to meet Gold in person and have a chat about him dating you, soon, alright Red, but other than that you can go back to him, now." Morty said to his son, who looked slightly stunned that his protective dad was letting him leave him again.
