Hi everyone. This is a poem, from Ash's point of view, wondering where his father would be. Maybe he had joined the army and left home to fight for his contry; maybe he cheated and broke Delia's heart, by falling in love with another woman; or maybe just like Ash, he had left home to train himself to become a pokemon master. In short, he left him for a good reason, right?


Where are you papa?

If you are at war,

Weathered, weary, far

Yet to be withdraw—

Does your wounded soul,

Winced when you're thinking

While my life unfolds,

Whining and wadding

Without your presence,

Watchful wariness.

-ooo-

Where are you papa?

If there's someone else

Who calls you father;

A wife your love felt.

Does your sanity

Spare you the thoughts of

Us, sober sadly,

No fathers proud of,

Nor husbands to be

In family bliss.

-ooo-

Where are you papa?

If you too have gone,

Training to master

Art of pokemon,

When you go after

Regions and battles;

Elites and masters;

Harbours and isles;

Cities, towns and gyms—

Papa, don't you see,

You'll forever be

In my battle hymn.
