It was raining. Thunder roars every second. A huge typhoon swept over the Kanto region and all living beings were inside their homes.
But inside a lone ranch, a woman is going to give birth to her children.
"Misty, you can do it just push!" The doctor said.
A loud screech of pain was heard followed by a long moment of silence.
"Misty don't you dare give up on me. You said we will grow old together. You said we will watch our children grow up."
"Ash, im so sorry. I think this is the first and last promise im going to break. Take care of our kids. Say to them that I love them. Remember I will always be at your side."
Misty looked at his husband once more before closing his eyes "I'll always love you"
"Misty! Misty!"
Ash began to put his lips upon Misty's lip. He began to blow air into her mouth.
A man from behind grabbed Ash's shoulder and pulled him away.
"She's not coming back. Her pulse stopped and lucario here doesn't sense her aura anymore." Henry said.
"Wait. The babies! Were they delivered." Ash said.
"While you were crying, I grabbed these babies out. Ash look at them, they are twins and they are all boys."
Ash grabbed the babies from henry and he cradled both of them to his arms.
"Im going to raise you both as a father and as a mother."
13 years later.
The first rays of the morning sun crept to the whole ranch. The tauros that was sleeping stood up and ate the grass around. The spearows and pidgeotos fled to the sky while the noctowls began to sleep.
Inside the bedroom the twin's ,a morning surprise was going to happen.
"Kyle. Stan. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Ash shouted.
"Dad it's too early." Stan said.
"I got a gift for the both of you but you must go downstairs first."
"A gift! Gimme!" Kyle said.
Kyle stod up from his bed and rushed downstairs.
"OH MY ARCEUS! STAN COME HERE!"
"Kyle what did I say about cussing." Ash said.
"Sorry dad." Kyle shouted from downstairs. "Stan come here. This must be the best dad gave us."
Stan stood up from his bed but unlike his brother, he just walked downstairs."
The moment Stan went downstairs. He saw a basket and blanket around it. The inside of the basket seems to be two balls in color white, black and red. A pokeball. A note beside the basket reads "To my sons Kyle and Stan."
Kyle was already holding one and he was trying to open the ball if there was a pokemon inside. If there was one.
"Kyle. Stan. There is no pokemon inside. We are going to go to the forest and I'll teach you how to catch a pokemon. Eat your breakfast before we go. Kyle drink your milk." Ash said.
"I don't want my milk." Kyle protested.
"We are not going to the forest unless you drink your milk."
As Kyle heard what his father said, he rushed towards the table and drank the glass of milk.
Ash went beside Stan who was fiddling with his pokeballs. "You don't look like your surprised."
"Dad I don't want to become a trainer. I wanted to be a pokemon breeder."
"I know son but before you become a breeder, you must know the basics of catching pokemons. You need pokemons when you're going to be a breeder."
"Ok dad. Thanks."
Whole of the family ate their breakfast, did their morning routines and prepared themselves for pokemon catching.
"Dad we're ready." Stan called out.
"Stan, get my pokeballs. It's in the living room." Ash said.
Stan walked through the living and reached out the cabinet's knob. Inside he saw 4 pokeballs.
"Dad, I didn't know you had pokemons. What pokemons are inside your pokeballs?" Stan asked.
"A squirtle, pidegeotto, charizard and a bayleaf. When you and your brother are sleeping or doing your chores, I let them out and feed them. When I was young I had a pikachu but it got sick and died." Ash replied but as he said the last part, a tear fell down his eyes.
"Why are you hiding your pokemons?" Stan asked.
"My mind tells me to hide them from the both of you. I don't get it why I am hiding them, maybe father's intuition. But now, we are going to use myPokemon to help you catch your own pokemon." Ash said.
"One more thing dad. Why couldn't me and Kyle just go to the professor's lab and get one of those starter pokemons." Stan asked.
"Stan, you know professor is only going to give your starter pokemon when you are 10 years old." Ash said.
30 minutes later.
The 3 boys were trekking their way through the forrest. They caught glimpse of a few catterpie and kakunas that was sticking through the trees. Occoccasionally, they will see some seedots dangling from tree branches.
Kyle stopped in his tracks and pulled down his bag. He placed his hands inside the bag and pulled out a flat thing that looks like a mobile phone. He stood up and flicked the thing open. Suddenly the thing in Kyle's hand spoke.
"Seedot. Seedot attaches itself to a tree branch using the top of its head. It sucks moisture from the tree while hanging off the branch. The more water it drinks, the glossier this Pokémon's body becomes."
"Kyle where did you get that pokedex?" Ash asked.
"From the professor's desk." Kyle replied
"What did I told you about stealing?!" Ash angrily said.
"Sorry dad. It was so very tempting to have a stuff like this. I seen many trainers holding these device."
"Kyle you know you could get a free pokedex when you are already ten. When we get back home, you return that to the professor's office."
"Okay dad."
The three of them continued to walk along the forest. During their trip, Kyle is pointing at every pokemon and asking hos father if he could catch it.
"Kyle for thehundredth time, that Pokemon is too weak." Ash said.
"Dad please. It's been an hour and we are still empty handed." Kyle replied.
"Just wait okay. Just wait."
Another more hour has passed and the sky is getting dark. Dark clouds covered the sky and it blew a huge gust of wind. Suddenly drops of water began to pour and every second the rain drops pours more rapidly.
"Dad, it's raining." Stan said.
"I know. Let's find a shelter where we can stay." Ash replied.
"Dad I think there is a cave right there." Kyle said as he pointed his fingers in the north direction.
"Dad there are spearows behind us." Stan shouted.
"Ignore them. They must be heading towards the cave too." Ash replied.
"Dad the wind is too strong. It's carrying me away." Kyle shouted.
"Just hold on. Put your strength together." Ash said.
"Dad I can't waaaaah-" Kyle screamed as he was blown away by the wind.
"Stan go in the cave. I'll get Kyle back." Ash shouted.
"Okay dad. Be careful!"
Stan placed all his strength in his feet and ran towards the cave. Once inside he felt a cold breeze around his body.
"Damn storm. Showing up suddenly when you are doing something important." Stan said to himself.
Stan walked towards the corner, sat there and curled himself to conserve heat.
"Oooh. Ghastly. Oooh."
"What was that?!" Stan asked. Stan raised his head and looked around but he found no one.
"Ghastly! Ghastly!" another sound echoed through the cave walls.
"If you are out there, I'm not afraid of you. Show yourself!" Stan shouted.
"Ghastly!"
Stan stood up and looked everywhere. He saw a rock and picked it up.
"If you show up, I'll throw this rock at you!"
Stan walked deeper into the cave. He saw a blue light, glittering in the dark abyss. Stan walked to the source of the light. As he walked further he saw a bright blue Ghastly lying in the floor with smoke seeping on the underside.
"A blue Ghastly?.." Stan whispered to himself. (He figured it just now because of pokemon logic)
"Are you hurt? I got some bandage and a potion in my bag. Uncle brock taught me how to take care of an injured pokemon. So don't worry, you'll be better before you even know it."
Stan placed his bag on the floor and pulled out the bandage and potion. He grabbed the potion and sprayed it in the swelling area. After he sprayed the area, he grabbed the bandages and wrapped it around the area where he sprayed the potion.
"Your all patched up." Stan gladly said.
"Ghastly? Ghastly? Ghastly!"
"Ghastly, I thought all Ghastlys are dark violet so why are you blue? Wait why am I talking to you, Pokemon cannot talk."
Ghastly floated upwards and went into a wall. He placed one of his fangs on the wall and he began to scratch something on the wall."
"What are you doing? Stop you are going to hurt yourself."
The Ghastly still continued scrascratching the wall regardless of Stan's warning.
"Are you trying to write something?"
Stan lookedcarefully at the wall, watching every letters the Ghastly wrote.
"I'm unique to other ghastlys. I'm a shiny type. Is that what you are telling me?"
The ghastly nodded.
"I heard shiny types before but I never seen one. Dad said that he saw one when he was in Sinnoh."
Suddenly noises were in the cave entrance.
"Stan are you in here?" Ash said.
"Dad! I'm here." Stan shouted.
Stan glanced at ghastly "He is my father."
Stan grabbed ghastly and held him at his arm "Wow you're cold. Is that normal for you ghastlys?"
The ghastly nodded.
Stan stood up and walked towards his Dad's voice. Once he found his dad, he saw his brother Kyle shivering beside his Dad.
"I think we should catch pokemons later. I didn't there was a storm. If I'd known, i wouldn't let you catch pokemons today." Ash said.
"I- It's o-okay dad. I- I know you- you don't wa- want this. Any- anyway I gah- got a Spea- row." Kyle said.
"Let's go back to the ranch. The storm is gone but it's still dark. Maybe because we are in the eye of the storm so that means it's gonna rain soon." Ash said.
"Dad, I found a an injured ghastly so I worked on its wounds. He's here." Stan pointed at his side. "Can i catch it with my pokeball?"
"Wah- wow! A- a blue gah- ghastly." Kyle said.
"I know right" Stan said.
"It must be a shiny type. If you really wanted to catch Ghastly, you must ask him out or fight it with my pokemon until it passess out." Ash said.
"I don't want to fight it. It's already injured so..." Stan looked intently at ghastly "Do you want to be my pokemon?"
The ghastly nodded up and down.
"Dad how do I catch ghastly?" Stan asked.
"Here" Ash gave a pokeball to Stan. "Press the button on the middle of the pokeball and throw it at him.
Stan pressed the white button and threw it at ghastly. While in midair, the pokeball opened, ghastly turned into a red energy and the energy went inside the pokeball. The pokeball landed on the ground and made blinking noises. After the pokeball made 3 blinking sounds, the pokeball began to make a noise which meant success.
"Son im proud of you. Be the best breeder like what your uncle brock has become." Ash said. "Now that you are finished, let's head back to the ranch before a rain starts again."
"Before we go, here's a blanket for you Kyle." Stan threw a blanket at Kyle who still has rain water dripping at his nose.
"Thanks" Kyle replied.
The ketchum family stood up and ran towards the ranch. On the background a mysterious figure seems to be watching all what has happened from the start. The mysterious person grabbed his cloak and swayed it around his body and suddenly dissapearing into thin air. "I'll soon get my revenge on you!"
