Chapter 1 : A New Beginning.
A quiet evening in Kanto region, at the sound of a rumbling washing machine, a single mother is reminiscent of her son's exciting adventures as a Pokemon Master, Delia is looking through the basement window. The sky is bright since the rain has stopped. It's been raining all day, she couldn't hang the clothes outside.
As she fold her son's favorite shirt she remembers when he was traveling the world in search for all Pokemon with his little Pikachu and competing in the leagues. She finishes to fold clothes that was hung in the basement all day, lift the basket and goes upstairs.
As she head to her son's bedroom she notices that it's pretty silent. It's too early for him to go to bed already and he would have told her if he had left. She sneaks a peek in the room, but she does not see him. She moves in and notices a few clothes lying around and the closet door open. Nothing unusual for her messy son and she goes to close the door when she's drops the basket, startled by a movement inside, her surprised son...
"Ash!?" she yells as she sees her son wearing some girl's lingerie. Just as confused, not knowing where to hide, Ash replies : "M...Mom? I can explain!".
- No!
Ash stuns by his mother's sharp reaction. Delia pauses for a moment, she's clearly trying to sort out her thoughts and says: "There's only one thing a mother can do in this situation."
- B..but..
Delia forcefully grabs Ash's wrist and pull him out of the closet, drag him down to the living room, looks for her keys and purse. She turns to Ash with a frown.
- We have to go shopping for girl's clothes.
- W...wait! What? I can't go out like that!
Delia look at her son noticing he's still in lingerie. She blushes and drag him in her room.
She opens the door of her closet, throws out some of her clothes on her bed. Ash blushes at the idea his mom may want him to wear her clothes and was about to comment that they are probably too large when she pulled out a box slightly covered in dust.
Delia appeared so focused at the box that Ash tried slip away. She turned to her son and clearly said : "Stay right there, young lady!". Ash froze and it took a full minute as his mother was browsing her box to notice that she called him 'Young lady'.
"Knew I still had it." Ash pops out of his confusion, his mom pulls out a cute soft blue dress from the box. "I bought this at a lovely stall during Princess Day in Cerulean City." She moves over to Ash and lay the dress over him with a satisfied smile. "It is the perfect size. Lift your arms."
Ash suddenly felt in another dimension and before he knew it he also had his blond wig on, with his mom smiling at him, sitting in the bus heading to the city.
