Our Life Together
A fanfic about Ash and Angie living together. Inspired by the great "Morpheus Family" fanart drawing, by Endless-Summer181 on deviantART (check this link so see this fine work of art: .com/art/Morpheus-Family-130808046 ). The title of this story is a tribute to the great MorpheusShipping fanfic called "Our Time Together" by MisterP in which Angie recounts her time with Ash, "the boy with the Pikachu". As can be expected, my story also involves MorpheusShipping (Ash and Angie being together) so if you really don't like that idea, stop reading here. The rest, I hope you enjoy this fan-fiction.
The phone suddenly rang. A young man, looking like he was in his early twenties, with still something boyish about him, picked up the horn.
"Hello dear, are you coming over to the daycare this afternoon?" a voice belonging to a young woman asked over the phone.
"Well..." the young man hesitated.
"I know a certain young lady would be very pleased... and so will I..." the woman stated, "so what do you think?"
"But class will start in a few minutes..." the young man objected.
"Can't you give them some homework, like an assignment to study wild Pokémon or so? Please...? Ash?" the woman almost begged.
"Oh... okay," Ash gave in. "the weather is too fine to be sitting in class anyway, I guess. You can tell the young lady I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
"Thanks Ash, that's sweet of you, see you soon!" the young woman thanked him, "love you!" she added, while making a kissing sound with her mouth.
"See ya Ange! Love you too!" Ash replied.
After he and Angie got married, it had been hard to even think about giving up traveling, especially for Ash. They had been through so much together, like the time when they met Latias and Latios again, and Angie also liked adventure. So at first they kept on going from town to town, to meet new trainers and make new friends, or visit old ones. But then Angie came to him with a little "surprise", and they really had to settle down within a few months. Ash's mother offered them a part of her home, but although Ash thought it was sweet of her, and thanked her for it, he insisted on living on their own now. It was then that Angie's father told them about a nice house that just came on the market in Solaceon Town.
Angie wasn't too happy about this idea in the beginning. Of course she had no real problem with living so close to her parents, that might even come in handy in the situation she was in at that moment, but she was afraid her parents would come up again with their original plan of Ash and her taking over the daycare in the future. She liked working there, but hated when others were making plans for your future, seemingly without having a say in it herself. Luckily that wasn't the case and the house turned out to be really nice, when they went to check it out. Ash had a nice sum of prize-money left from winning the Sinnoh league, and other grand tournaments, and when he was still too young to use it, his mother had put it away on a bank account for him, so he would have something "for later" when it might come in handy. And this was just the situation to use it.
The house needed little work, so they could spend their time preparing for "the big moment" and Ash decided to start a little school, in the large barn that was also part of the property they bought. He wanted to teach young trainers a few things about Pokémon, things he would have liked to know when he was their age and Ahs had to find out the hard way sometimes. Although his teaching skills still needed some work, his students where watching with undivided attention when he demonstrated the techniques he tried to teach, with his own Pokémon. Ash enjoyed it when trainers got closer to their Pokémon, and managed to unlock "the power that's inside" in the process. His class wasn't big, but he enjoyed it even better because of that, since he could give more attention to each student and their Pokémon.
"Class!" Ash spoke as he stepped out of his small office, that was in the back of the school.
"Yes, Mister Ketchum," they all said simultaneously.
At first Ash needed to get used to be called "Mister" instead of just Ash. Only Angie called him that way and usually when she was mad at him for some reason. But after a while it became less strange, and it didn't create an extra distance between him and his students, something he had been afraid of. Perhaps that was because he still looked like a big boy sometimes, with his casual shirt, and his jeans. He could almost pass on for one of the students himself. He told his class about taking the afternoon off, and gave instructions about their assignment. Then he closed the door, and walked to the main road, which would lead him to the daycare of Angie's parent, a few minutes walking from their house.
"Hi there, Ash, school's out early today, hey?" a man said, as Ash was about to pass him by.
"Oh hello Alan! You've got that right, I've been summoned to go to the daycare by a certain young lady," Ash said to Alan, who worked at the Poké Mart, a place Ash still frequently visited to get supplies for his school.
"Better not make her wait then," Alan laughed, "See ya!"
"Bye Alan!" Ash said, as he walked on.
Ash was almost on his destination. Angie was spending a lot of time at the daycare lately. Not just because she liked helping her parents, and caring for Pokémon, but there was another reason, the same reason he was on his way there right now. The same reason Angie and he had to stop traveling around, and decided to settle down for a while...
He walked past the first large corral, where the bigger Pokémon were able to run around freely. The second corral was a bit smaller, to fit medium sized Pokémon. Finally he reached the entrance to the smallest corral, where naturally the smaller Pokémon, or those the weren't evolved yet, were kept. Ash opened the gate, and then...
"Daddy, daddy!" a little girl yelled as she raced towards Ash.
The girl had green hair and gentle brown eyes, just like her mother. But on her cheeks she had the same special marks her father has.
"Hoohohooo, what's the rush?" Ash asked, as he bent forward.
"Daddy, daddy, you've got to see this!" the little girl yelled as if she didn't hear what Ash had been saying, and grabbed his hand, trying to pull him along.
"Okay, I'm coming, just be a little more careful with your old father," Ash laughed. "Now what is it you wanted me to see then?" he asked.
"Look at this Mareep, daddy! I've been brushing it really well. Feel how soft it's wool is now!" the little girl invited him with much enthusiasm.
"Well, it sure looks very soft, and it also feels very... aaaaahhhhh!" Ash suddenly cried as he was shocked by all the electricity that was stored into the Mareep's coat by the brushing of the little girl.
"Oh daddy, your hair looks really funny now!" the girl laughed.
"Amy! Are you teasing your father again!?" Angie said as she came out off a small shed that was close to them.
Then Angie also started to laugh as she saw how Ash looked after the shock he got from Mareep.
"Oh dear... Come over here Ash, so I can make you look a little more decent again!" Angie said to Ash.
She managed to get his hairdo into more or less acceptable shape again, and then give him a quick kiss.
"Aw... you're still a little charged!" Angie said as she felt a few sparks when their lips met.
"Isn't that what they call electricity in a good relationship?" Ash teased her.
"If it's more electricity you want, I can ask Pikachu to do thunderbolt on you..." Angie suggested.
"Hmmmm, no thanks, I'm happy with the way things are..." Ash quickly answered.
Pikachu came looking around the corner of the shed, as it had heard it's name being called, and when it noticed Ash, it ran towards him, and jumped up his shoulder.
"Hi there little buddy!" Ash greeted his loyal friend.
"Pikaa!" was the answer, indicating Pikachu was also happy that Ash was here now.
"At least you don't want to shock me, right?" Ash said.
"Pika? Pikachu?" Ash's Pokémon uttered, as it jumped bank on the ground, unaware of what it's trainer meant.
"But young lady, you shouldn't be teasing your father or other people like that," Angie spoke to Amy on a more solemn tone, "next time someone might get hurt."
"Sorry mummy," the little girl said as she looked down at the ground, "and sorry daddy..."
"It's okay, your mum's right, but I'm not mad at you," Ash spoke on a soft tone.
The girl looked up with sparkling eyes.
"Come here, you little bundle of mischief!" Angie said as she picked Amy up from the ground.
"Well, at least she knows enough about Pokémon," Ash laughed as he praised the little girl while padding her softly on the head.
"I wonder who she's got that from?" Angie said while looking knowingly at Ash.
"And I wonder who she's got that teasing from?" Ash said, as he returned Angie's look.
Then they both started to laugh, while Amy was staring at her mother and father, clueless about what her parents thought was so funny all of a sudden. At least it was clear for anyone to see, this was one happy family...
My first story in which Ash and Angie are married. I apologize for any typing errors, or grammatically not 100% correct sentences. Remember, I am not a native English speaker or writer. I tried to make this story as close to the Pokémon series as possible, so that the characters will react roughly the same in this fictional story as they do in the series. Comments are always welcome, you can use the review function on this FanFiction site for that.
