Chapter 1

A couple of months after releasing Togepi (Togetic)

Misty began thinking, she shouldn't be here. Mostly since her point being in Pallet had to do with receiving an egg from Tracey's Marill's mate. So how she ended up within the kitchen of the Ketchum's house?

"Maybe this is a bad idea." She starts, "I mean not just my sisters. But Brock said I'm a lost cause." Recalling several times Brock did, in fact, tried to teach her during her formal traveling with him and Ash. Only to always end up with a mess instead of anything edible.

"Nonsense, sweetie." Delia Ketchum said, to the young teen. Unknown to Misty, when Delia got wind the teen was coming to Pallet. She purposely made sure she was at Oak's lab when Misty arrived, to reeled the girl back here.

Mostly after the email, she got a while back from Brock, explaining what he assumed transpire later that night after Misty released Togepi and the princess asked them all to stay for the night to enjoy the celebration party of her becoming queen the next day, before leaving. And although she's not too pleased that none of her son's emails, following that event, mention anything of what Brock told. She's glad, regardless of keeping it a secret from her, her son wore protection (Brock's words), that night. Nonetheless, Delia approves of Misty from the day she met her. And just like her mother in law did for her. She's doing the same for Misty.

"Trust me, believe it or not. I wasn't the cook I am today. Just like you. I seem like a lost cause too. But like someone helps me. I'm helping you." She finished.

"Okay, but you'll regret it." State Misty, gathering the apron Delia handed her.

"No, I won't. And soon I'll be handing over the Ketchum recipes over to you. Just like my mother in law did for me."

Here Misty was red as a cherry. Unaware the older woman knows of her and Ash aren't just friends. However, Delia just smiled, before shooing Mr. Mine outside for the time being.

"Well, shall we begin." She added, pushing a still blushing Misty to the cooking-counter of the kitchen.
