Author's Note:
Recap/spoiler for the last part: Last time we learnt that Ash and Misty loved each other. Soon
after that, Ash left Misty at a Pokémon Center where she was going to start a job as a pokémon
doctor. Than they met up again, and admitted their love for each other. Soon after that, Ash and
Misty had a little too much fun. They than end up back in Cerulean City, where they visit
Misty's parents. Misty's dad (Tony) had that discussion that every father has with his daughter's
boyfriend. Soon after that, Misty discovers that she is pregnant. Before she has the chance to tell
Ash, Ash was attacked by a wild pokémon. Ash was in a coma for a while but pulled out of it.
Misty tells Ash about the baby, and Ash proposes to her. Soon every one knows that Misty and
Ash are going to be married. But some people, like Misty's parents aren't happy about it. We
also find out that Misty's parents were the ones who sent the wild pokémon out after Ash. Latter
Misty collapses, after putting Togepi to bed. Ash finds her and soon she is rushed to a hospital.
Brock than figures out that Misty is pregnant, but doesn't tell any one. Both the baby and Misty
are fine. However, Misty's father finds out that Misty is going to have a baby, and he definitely
isn't happy about it. Than Misty and Ash eloped. Now let's get on to the fic!
Ash and Misty were sitting on the couch wondering where Brock and the others had
gone. "Misty? I love you." Ash said for the hundredth time. Misty smiled.
"I love you too." She replied. "You know, we should call your mom." Misty said suddenly
standing up.
"Yeah, you're right." They walked over to the videophone and dialed the number.
"Hello?" Ash's mother asked as she appeared onto the screen.
"Hi Mom!" Ash said happily.
"Hi honey! My, Misty you look radiant." She commented when she saw Misty sitting next to
Ash.
"Guess what we did today!" Ash chirped.
"What?" She asked.
"We got married!" Ash said smiling at her.
"Oh, that wonderful! I'm so happy for you two!" Ash's mother yelled into the phone.
"Thanks mom." Ash said, placing an arm around Misty.
"You two are so in love, aren't you?" Ash's mom said looking a little out of it. Both Ash and
Misty nodded their heads. "So, where will you two be going for your honeymoon?" She asked
suddenly.
"We don't really know. Right now, we don't really want to go any where." Ash admitted.
"We would kinda like to get into the swing of being married, before we go any where." Misty
told her.
"I understand completely. Ash's father and I did the same thing, when we were married." Ash's
mother told them. Just than a bell could be heard coming from the phone. "I've gotta go. There's
some one at the door. I'll talk to you two later, and if you have any problems, or questions don't
be afraid to call, ok? And we'll have to get together and plane a dinner or something for a
celebration!" Ash's mom said quickly.
"Mom, you'd better get the door. We'll talk to you later!"
"Ok. Bye!"
"Bye!" Misty yelled into the phone, before it went blank. "I really like your mom, Ash."
"Thanks. Um…I was wondering, how long do you think we should wait 'till we tell them that
you're pregnant?" He asked nervously.
"A couple of weeks. That way it doesn't look like we've done it yet." Misty said laying her head
against his shoulder.
"Ok. You look tired. Do you want to take a nap or something?" Ash asked her gently.
"Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea." Misty replied, as she stood up. "I'm going to lay
down for a bit." She told him.
"Ok." Ash said. Misty kissed him gently, and left the room. As soon as Ash thought she was out
of earshot, he picked up the phone. "Hello? Florist? I'd like a dozen white roses please."
***
Misty couldn't sleep even though she was tired. Something was bugging her. "Why do I
feel like I forgot something?" She asked herself out loud. She closed her eyes and tried to
remember what it was that she forgot. Nothing came to her. "It has something to do with Ash."
She muttered to herself.
***
Ash was lying on the couch watching TV, when Brock came back. "Hey, Ash! Where's
Misty?" He asked after looking around. Ash looked up from his show.
"She's taking a nap. Where were you?" Ash asked noticing a bag in Brock's hand.
"Oh, just at the bakery." He replied as he went into the kitchen. Ash got up off of the couch and
followed him in.
"Oh, wow!" Ash exclaimed as he saw the cake that Brock had gotten. It was pure white, with
two small figuring standing on top of it.
"Do you think Misty will like it?" Brock asked. Ash nodded his head.
"She'll love it."
****
Misty was tossing and turning, dreaming of something long forgotten. Misty felt like she
was four-years-old again. And she could see her father and mother talking in the living room.
She was standing just out side of the doorway. They couldn't see her. "I can't believe I lost to
that Ketchem!" Misty's father hollowed. He threw a glass that was sitting on a nearby table.
"Now, dear. Don't worry, Tony, you'll be able to rematch him next year." Misty's mother said,
trying to comfort her husband.
"No, I can't Becky! He quit the league today! He said something about spending more time with
his family! Can you believe that!? Doesn't even have the decently to give me a rematch!" Tony
yelled.
"We'll get back at him for taking you success. We'll win. We always have, and we always will."
Becky said evilly.
***
Misty woke up in a cold sweat. She remembered, what had gone on all those years ago.
"What ever happened?" Misty asked out loud. "I wish I knew." Misty got up and got into the
shower. "What did mom mean, when she talked about getting him back? And is this person any
relation to Ash?" Misty asked herself, as the water flowed over her body. "I need to think. Why
can't I remember what the outcome of that was? Or did I never find out? How could have I just
dismissed something like that?"
*Flashback*
A few days after she had heard her parents discussing the match the police came to her
house. The asked her family a whole bunch of questions.
"It's a shame. He has a son about her age." A police officer said to her father.
"I'm sorry I couldn't have been more helpful. If you need anything please don't be afraid to
ask." Misty's father said to the officer. The next scene was at the cemetery in Lavender Town.
"Mrs. Ketchum, If you need anything just ask." Misty's mother said shaking the hand of a
woman dressed all in black. She had a young boy standing next to her. He was about the same
age as Misty.
"Thank you. And thank you for coming." The woman said gently.
*End Flashback*
Misty gasped deeply. She did know what had happened. Or at least she suspected. Misty
leaned up against the shower's wall. "What should I do?" She asked herself out loud. "Should I
tell Ash? Should I just go to the police? Do I..." She got cut off by a soft jerk coming from her
stomach. She placed her hand over her stomach. "Oh."
***
Ash and Brock were patiently waiting for Misty to come down, from her nap. "Brock I
can't thank you enough for not telling the whole world that we're about to become parents." Ash
told Brock.
"Sure, no problem. I think Misty would rather see you as a father, before she sees you in the
grave." Brock said smiling.
"I think you're right."
"Right about what?" Misty asked from the bottom of the stares.
"Nothing." Ash said standing up and offering her, his seat.
"Thanks."
"Misty, Pikachu, Togepi, and I got you two something." Brock said as he stepped out of the
room.
"What?" Misty yelled after him.
"You'll see!" He yelled back. Brock walked back into the room with the cake he'd bought.
"Oh, Brock! It's beautiful!" Misty exclaimed.
"I'm glade you like it." Brock said smiling. Pikachu walked in caring several plates and a cake
cutter. "Well you two, go ahead and cut the cake!" Brock exclaimed excitedly.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you're hungry for cake." Misty said teasingly. Ash picked up the
cutter from Pikachu and Misty and him cut the cake. They fed each other a little bit of cake,
trying not to get it all over each other.
****
"I have an idea!" Tony shouted out suddenly. "We can have Misty and Ash over for
dinner, than we'll poison his food, and we won't have to worry about him any more!"
"I think you're forgetting one very important thing. We're trying to stay OUT of jail, and if we
kill him when he's at our house, the police will know we did it." Becky pointed out.
"Oh. Good point."
"But I think you might have been on to something there though." Becky said trailing off.
***
Ash and Misty had just dished up the cake when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Ash yelled
running to the door. Misty looked at Brock and he just shrugged. A few moments later Ash came
in holding something behind his back.
"What's that?" Misty asked.
"Oh, just a little something for my new wife." Ash said playfully. He pulled out a large bouquet
of white roses from behind his back.
"Oh, Ash! They're beautiful!" Misty cried as she hugged Ash. Ash smiled and hugged her back.
"Pika." Pikachu said looking up at Brock. Brock nodded his head.
"Pri?" Togepi asked trying to get a better look at the flowers.
"They're roses." Misty told the little pokémon. "See, they smell pretty." She told him holding the
flowers to its nose (?).
"Pri!" Togepi cried happily. Every one sat down and started to eat the cake.
***
That night Misty was having a dream about being at a funeral. She was wearing all black
and she was crying. In the center off the room sat a coffin. She walked up to see who was inside.
But as she walked up to it, she was thinking. [I know this person. But who is it? I wouldn't be
crying unless I knew them.] She looked inside to see Ash. He was wearing the same clothes that
he had always worn. Blue jeans, black T-shirt, blue and white jacket, tennis shoes, and his
Pokémon League hat. "No." Misty whispered. "NO!! ASH NO! YOU CAN'T BE DEAD! YOU
HAVE TO BE ALIVE! YOU HAVE TO! YOU JUST HAVE TO!" Misty screamed at the body.
She threw herself on Ash. She could feel her some one pull her off of him.
"If it wasn't for you, he'd still be alive." Her father told her. "This is all your fault."
"If it wasn't for you, my bestfriend would still be alive." Brock told her angrily.
"Pika, pika pikachu!" Pikachu yelled at her, his normally happy brown eyes, cold and filled with
hate for her.
"Please, no. I didn't do anything! It isn't my fault!" Misty screamed out.
"If you hadn't met him, we wouldn't have had to kill him." Her father said coldly. Misty fell to
the ground sobbing. She looked up to see Todd, Richie, and Tracy step up next to her.
"It's all your fault." Todd told her. "If you hadn't been so selfish about that bike, and had let him
pay you back like he said he would, he wouldn't have died."
"Yeah!" The other two said. "It's all your fault Misty. It's your fault Misty!"
"Misty! Misty!" Misty heard a voice that seemed to be coming from far away. "Misty!" She
woke up with a start. She looked around the room and started crying. "It was just a dream." Ash
told her, gently taking her into his arms. She sobbed into his shoulder.
"It was so real. Don't every leave me Ash." She whispered.
"I won't. I'm here to stay." Ash told her gently, confused by what she was saying. "Do you want
to tell me about the dream?" Ash asked her. She nodded her head. "Ok." She proceeded to tell
him the whole dream.
(A.N. I'm sorry but I'm too lazy to re type that out, and I don't think you really want to read it
again.)
Ash was confused by why Misty's father was talking about killing him, but he didn't interrupt.
After a moment, Misty sighed and looked Ash in the eye.
"Ash, have something I think I need to tell you." Ash nodded his head.
"Alright."
"Ash do you remember when you were about four-years-old?" Misty asked him. Ash looked
thoughtful for a moment.
"I remember somethings, why?" Misty sighed again, suddenly not sure that this was a good idea.
"Do you remember your dad's funeral?" Misty asked him bluntly. Ash looked shocked but
nodded his head.
"Yes. But how did you know my dad was dead?"
"So do I."
"You do what?"
"Remember your dad's funeral. I was there too." Misty told him looking down at the floral
pattern on the sheets.
"You were?"
"Yes. But um...that's not totally what I wanted to talk to you about." Misty told him, close to
breaking down into tears. Ash sat up more and pulled Misty close to him.
"Ok, go on."
"I think....I think...I...know...um...do you know how your dad died?" Misty asked suddenly.
"Yeah. He was murdered." Ash told her quietly.
"Well...um...I think I know who killed him." Misty said quietly. Ash pushed her away and
looked into her eyes.
"You're serious?" He asked her urgently.
"Yes."
"Who? Misty you've got to tell me." Misty was silent for a bit, and Ash was afraid she wasn't
going to answer him.
"My parents." Misty told him quietly. She looked away from him. Ash looked at her in shock.
"Misty, you're kidding right? How would you know something like that?" Misty looked back at
Ash tears stinging her eyes.
"When I was little, I...heard my dad yelling. I went downstairs to see what was wrong. I heard
my dad say he lost to a Ketchum. My mom said something about getting even!" Misty said
sobbing.
"Why didn't you tell anybody?" Ash demanded.
"I was four! Who'd believe me?!" Misty asked.
"Why now? Why did you tell me now?"
"I don't know!" Misty yelled sobbing. Ash stood up.
"Ash?" She asked, looking up.
"I'm going for a walk." He told her coldly. Misty watched as Ash walked out of the room.
***
Brock and Pikachu were sitting at the dinning room table, when Misty sat down. "Morning,
Misty."
"Morning." She said darkly.
"What's wrong?" Brock asked. Misty sat down in a chair.
"Ash and I had a fight last night." Brock looked confused.
"You two fight everyday."
"Yeah, but this time Ash walked out." Misty said laying her head on the table. Brock looked
surprised.
"He walked out? How long has he been gone?"
"Since two this morning." Brock stood up and walked to Misty's side.
"He probably just needed sometime to cool off and think. He'll be back soon." Brock reassured
her. Misty nodded her head.
"Thanks, Brock."
"Pikachu, why don't you go check on Togepi?" Brock asked the small pokémon.
"Piki!" Pikachu said hopping off of the table and running to check on the other pokémon.
"Brock, I'm scared. What if Ash doesn't come back?"
"He will. He has to get his stuff." Misty glared at him.
"No, I mean what if he leaves me?"
"He won't. He loves you. And IF he ever does, I'll be right here at your side." Brock told her.
Misty smiled. "You know I'd do anything for you. You're like a little sister to me." Brock
declared. "Tell you what. I'll make you some breakfast and you can just sit here and relax."
"Thanks." A few seconds later, Pikachu brought Togepi, into the dinning room. Brock brought
out the pokémon food, when the door to their apartment opened. Misty jumped to her feet.
"Ash?" She asked as he entered the room. Ash still looked angry. "Oh, Ash! I'm so sorry." Misty
said as she started to cry. She was surprised when she felt Ash's arms wrap around her.
"Misty, I'm still angry. And I wish you 'd told me soon. But we can work though this." Misty
nodded her head. "One thing though." Misty looked up into Ash's eyes. "We have to go to the
police." Ash told her, wiping a tear from her face.
"Ash, I love you." Misty said softly.
"Love you too. Sit down and I'll go see how Brock's coming with breakfast."
"Breakfast is ready." Brock said while carrying out the food.
"Great! I'm starved!" Ash declared. Misty smiled. They all sat down and started eating.
"By the way, if you don't mind me asking, where did you go Ash?" Brock asked.
"Just out walking. I needed to clear my head."
"Ah." A few minutes of silence ensued.
"ACK!" Misty said jumping.
"What?!" Broth boys asked jumping to their feet.
"Warn me when you're going to do that!" Misty declared to her stomach.
"What?!" Misty looked up at the two panicking boys.
"Your child kicked me." Misty said pointedly at Ash.
"It kicked?!"
"Wow cool!"
"Pika!"
"Priiiii!"
"You want to feel?" Misty asked.
"Yeah!" Ash said running to Misty's side. She put his hand on her stomach. Suddenly Ash's face
lit up. "Wow!" He exclaimed.
"Brock, do you want to feel?" Misty asked. Brock nodded his head. Misty placed Brock's hand
on her stomach, like she'd done to Ash's. When the baby kicked, Brock smiled.
"Wow!" Brock whispered happily. The baby continued to kick through out breakfast, so Pikachu
and Togepi got to feel too.
***
After breakfast, Misty and Ash went to the police station. Misty had told the officers what she
remembered. "I'm sorry, Ms...." The officer started.
"Mrs. Ketchem." Misty interrupted.
"Ah, yes Mrs. Ketchem, we really can't do anything with out a confession or some evidence."
He said. Both misty and Ash's mouths dropped open. "Now if you could get them to confess."
Misty sighed.
[What am I suppose to do? Walk up to mom and dad and say, "Mom, dad, did you kill Ash's
father?"] Misty thought to herself.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful."
"Yeah, thank you." Misty said standing up. Ash wrapped his arm around her. The drove home in
total silence.
***
When they pulled up, they saw their pokémon playing in the yard. "Brock must have let them
out." Misty muttered as Starmie sent out a bubble beam into the air, for Togepi. Togepi started to
chase the bubbles around the yard.
"Yeah, I wonder where he is." Ash said opening up the door for Misty.
"Yes Mr. Waterflower. I'll tell them as soon as they get in. Yes sir. Bye." They heard Brock
hang up the phone. They came into the kitchen. "Oh Misty, your dad called. He wants you to call
him back." Brock told her as he went back to washing the dishes.
"I don't want to talk to him ever again!" Misty yelled running up the stairs. Brock looked at Ash.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Misty thinks her parents killed my dad." Brock's mouth dropped open.
"WHAT?" Brock demanded. Ash sighed.
"Come on. We'll go talk with Misty." Ash said motioning for Brock to follow him up. Misty was
lying on the bed looking through an old photo album.
"You'd never suspect." Misty said when the boys entered.
"Suspect what?" Brock asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
"That my parents are murders." She said coldly. Brock looked surprised.
"Misty, how can you be so cold about something like that?" Brock asked. Misty looked up.
"They hurt Ash." She said simply. Brock nodded his head. "There has to be a way." She
muttered, as Ash sat next to her."
"A way to do what?" Brock asked.
"A way to get them to confess." Misty muttered again.
"I have an idea!" Ash declared. "We tell every one the truth."
"The truth?" Misty interrupted. Ash nodded his head.
"Yeah, we tell them about you being pregnant before we were married. We'll tell them all at the
same time." Misty nodded her head.
"I see. Get them even MORE mad at you." Misty said sarcastically. Ash shook his head.
"No, while we're all at dinner, Pikachu and Brock can bug their hours."
"Just one small problem. My sisters." Misty jumped in.
"We'll bring them with."
"How will you explain why Brock isn't with you?"
"Simple. He's watching the pokémon." Brock smiled as the plan began to form.
***
It had taken them a full hour to finish the plan. Finally Ash and Misty had found a spot wear they
could all eat, and Brock had found some bugs. Misty and Ash were sitting at the table when
everyone arrived. Ash and Misty exchanged nervous glances. "Hi kids!" Ash's mom said
excitedly.
"Hi." They replied. Every one sat down, and started looking through the menus. Once the food
had arrived, Misty's father looked up.
"Misty, you said that you and Ash and something you wanted to tell us?" Misty and Ash jumped.
"Um...yeah. Ash and I have some really big news." Misty said looking at Ash. He nodded his
head. Misty glared at him.
"Um...Right, My turn. Misty and I well we're, um."
"We're going to have a baby."
"Ah! My baby is going to have a baby!" Ash's mom yelled, wrapping him and Misty into a hug.
"Well how wonderful!" Beck yelled hugging them next.
"Well that's not all we wanted to tell you." Ash started to say but was ignored by his mom.
"When's the baby due?" Misty and Ash exchanged looks.
"In about five months." Misty said while looking at the ground.
"But you've only been married for two days!" Ash's mom yelled, standing up. Ash looked down
at his feet.
"Don't be mad at Ash!" Misty begged. "As soon as he found out, he asked me to marry him!"
Ash's mom sat back down.
"I guess it is important to note that he did take responsibility for his actions." Tony said
suddenly. "Though, I'm not happy about it. I'll give him that much." He said glaring at Ash.
***
Mean while Brock and Pikachu were looking for a way to get into the house. All the doors and
windows were locked both manually and electronically. The electronics weren't a problem,
seeing as Pikachu could fry those easily. Finally, Brock called out Bulbasuar and had him pick
the locks. In seconds, they were in the house, planting bugs.
***
Misty and Ash arrived back at the apartment late that night. Brock and Pikachu had all the
listening equipment set up. "So how did it go?" Brock asked.
"Well I though Ash's mom was going to kill us, but other than that, I think it went pretty well."
Misty said. Brock raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.
"So, who was your evening?" Ash asked sitting down in a chair next to Misty.
"Well we got all the bugs in place. Took a while, but we got it done." Misty smiled.
"That's great! So when can we start taping?" Misty asked excitedly.
"Right now, if you want." Brock offered.
"Let's." Ash said. Brock hit the recording device and some static sounded through the room, than
Becky's voice was clearly heard through the room.
"Well I don't know what to do! I'm all out of ideas!" She yelled.
"There's nothing we can do now. Let's just go to bed. Maybe we'll think of something in the
morning." Tony said.
"Oh, all right. But I hope we think of something soon!" Becky declared angrily. Ash, Misty, and
Brock listened for a few more minutes but when nothing interesting was said they turned of the
machine.
***
Becky had just finished putting the dishes away when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Daisy
yelled. "Misty, what's wrong?!" Every one came running. Becky was surprised to see Misty
sobbing.
"Honey! What's wrong?" Becky asked.
"Ash...he...said...that...he...was...going...to...leave...ME!" Misty said crying harder. Daisy led her
into he living room. Misty plopped onto the couch.
"Honey, calm down." Becky said hugging Misty. Misty took the Kleenex that Daisy had offered
her. "Why don't you tell us what happened?" Becky asked gently. Misty sniffed and nodded her
head.
"We were talking about our pokémon journey. I want to settle down and raise our
baby...he...he...wants to keep going. We started fighting, and he said that he was going to keep
going, with our without me." Misty said crying harder. Daisy hugged Misty.
"What's going on?" Tony asked from the doorway.
"Misty and Ash had a fight, and Ash said that he was going to leave." Becky summed up.
"He WHAT?!" Tony yelled. Misty nodded her head. "I'm going to kill him!" Tony yelled.
"Please, don't daddy!" Misty begged as Tony started to march out the door. He flung open the
door and came face to face with Ash. He was holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Misty!" Ash declared. "I'm so sorry!" Ash said dropping to one knee, and thrusting the flowers
at her. She dropped to Ash's height and hugged him. "Misty, please for..." But he was cut off by
Misty kissing him. When Misty let Ash go, he helped her stand up.
** Give her a break. She's nine moths pregnant. She NEEDS a little help standing up now. **
"Please forgive me." Misty sobbed. Ash shook his head.
"It's not your fault. I shouldn't have been so stubborn." Ash told her.
"Why don't you two come in and talk?" Becky asked. Ash shook his head.
"I think we should go home and talk this over." Ash told her, as Misty nodded her head.
***
When they got to the car Misty dried off her face with a tissue, as They drove a way. "Nice
timing, My dad was just walking out the door." Misty told him smiling.
"Well actually, I'd been standing there since he got home." Ash confessed. "Nice acting job."
"Thanks."
***
Later that night the small little group was sitting around talking about how to get Tony and
Becky to confess. "OW!" Misty said suddenly clutching her stomach. Ash and Brock were at her
side in an instant.
"Are you alright?" Ash asked her. Misty shook her head.
"I think it's time." Ash and Brock took of in a panic. A few minutes later, and a couple of mallet
wounds to the head they were on their way to the hospital.
***
Hours later, ** 12 to be exact ** Misty had finally given birth to a baby girl. The parents of Ash
and Misty were in the room talking and passing the baby around.
** I really feel sorry for newborns. They get passed around to hundreds of people that they don't
know. And people wonder why kids have trust issues... **
Nurse Joy walked in. "How's every one doing?" Joy asked. Ash looked up from his hew little
girl.
"We're doing fine." Ash answered softly. "Brock, wanna hold her? Ash asked. Brock nodded his
head.
"Sure!" Ash handed her over.
"Mind her head!" All the women in the room yelled.
"What's her name?" Joy asked brushing what little brown hair the baby had.
"Um...she doesn't have one right now." Misty admitted. Joy nodded her head as Ash wrapped his
arm around Misty. One of Ash's scars were showing.
"Ash! What happened to your arm?" Joy asked.
"Oh, this? It's from when I was attacked by a wild Golem." Ash told her.
"A Golem?" She repeated. Ash smiled weakly.
"Would've killed me too, if Misty wouldn't have been there." The gears in Joy head started
turning.
[A Golem.] She thought. [Ash's dad, Aoshi, was killed by a Golem. I'm begging to...wait the
entire league showed up for Aoshi's funeral. Only one family didn't seem too heartbroken about
his death.]
"You never told me you were attacked by a Golem." Ash's mom said suddenly. "That's how
your father was killed."
"And I almost killed this one off too." Tony muttered. Becky elbowed hi, but Joy had heard him.
"I've got some things I need to tend to." Joy said. "I'll talk to you later." She said walking out
the door.
***
Three moths later:
"Mr. and Mrs. Waterflower, we the jury find you guilty of murder. We sentence you to life in
prison.
***
"I'm glad that's finally over." Joy said walking up to Ash, Misty, Brock, and Ash's mom, who
was holding the baby.
"Us too." Misty said. The baby started to fuss. "Ash, would you hand me Destiny's bottle? I
think it's time I fed her." Misty asked.
"Destiny?" Joy asked. "Why Destiny?"
"Misty felt it was destiny that she was born on my father's death date, and it was the same day
that her parents were caught."
***
Nurse Joy stood in front of a grave stone that read: Aoshi Ketchem, Beloved Husband, And
Father. Who Will Be Deeply Missed. "Well your murder has been solved. And you have a
beautiful granddaughter. Her name is Destiny. But I'm sure Ash and Misty will tell you about
that. We still miss you. I'd better go now. I love you." She said dabbing her tears away, as she
walked away.
Author's Note #2: Well that's it. This is probably the last installment of this fic I'll make. There
are a few things that as I wrote this story, suddenly didn't make sense. Like the fact that half of
the time they were walking, and suddenly they were driving. I came up with an easy solution for
that. In the PokéWorld, they can drive at an earlier age. Ash, Misty, and Brock also rented an
apartment, which is why they aren't living in a Pokémon Center the whole time. And Team
Rocket was on a much needed and deserved vacation. Let see, I'm sure there was something else
hang on. *looks through hand written notes** Oh, Ash's dad's name. Tiki helped me come up
with that one. *Looks at all the places where it says 'Ash's mom.'* I really wish I 'd given her a
name. Oh well. Well that's it for now. Time to start typing up and finishing my next fics. *Looks
at stack of notebooks.*

Author's Note:
Recap/spoiler for the last part: Last time we learnt that Ash and Misty loved each other. Soon
after that, Ash left Misty at a Pokémon Center where she was going to start a job as a pokémon
doctor. Than they met up again, and admitted their love for each other. Soon after that, Ash and
Misty had a little too much fun. They than end up back in Cerulean City, where they visit
Misty's parents. Misty's dad (Tony) had that discussion that every father has with his daughter's
boyfriend. Soon after that, Misty discovers that she is pregnant. Before she has the chance to tell
Ash, Ash was attacked by a wild pokémon. Ash was in a coma for a while but pulled out of it.
Misty tells Ash about the baby, and Ash proposes to her. Soon every one knows that Misty and
Ash are going to be married. But some people, like Misty's parents aren't happy about it. We
also find out that Misty's parents were the ones who sent the wild pokémon out after Ash. Latter
Misty collapses, after putting Togepi to bed. Ash finds her and soon she is rushed to a hospital.
Brock than figures out that Misty is pregnant, but doesn't tell any one. Both the baby and Misty
are fine. However, Misty's father finds out that Misty is going to have a baby, and he definitely
isn't happy about it. Than Misty and Ash eloped. Now let's get on to the fic!
Ash and Misty were sitting on the couch wondering where Brock and the others had
gone. "Misty? I love you." Ash said for the hundredth time. Misty smiled.
"I love you too." She replied. "You know, we should call your mom." Misty said suddenly
standing up.
"Yeah, you're right." They walked over to the videophone and dialed the number.
"Hello?" Ash's mother asked as she appeared onto the screen.
"Hi Mom!" Ash said happily.
"Hi honey! My, Misty you look radiant." She commented when she saw Misty sitting next to
Ash.
"Guess what we did today!" Ash chirped.
"What?" She asked.
"We got married!" Ash said smiling at her.
"Oh, that wonderful! I'm so happy for you two!" Ash's mother yelled into the phone.
"Thanks mom." Ash said, placing an arm around Misty.
"You two are so in love, aren't you?" Ash's mom said looking a little out of it. Both Ash and
Misty nodded their heads. "So, where will you two be going for your honeymoon?" She asked
suddenly.
"We don't really know. Right now, we don't really want to go any where." Ash admitted.
"We would kinda like to get into the swing of being married, before we go any where." Misty
told her.
"I understand completely. Ash's father and I did the same thing, when we were married." Ash's
mother told them. Just than a bell could be heard coming from the phone. "I've gotta go. There's
some one at the door. I'll talk to you two later, and if you have any problems, or questions don't
be afraid to call, ok? And we'll have to get together and plane a dinner or something for a
celebration!" Ash's mom said quickly.
"Mom, you'd better get the door. We'll talk to you later!"
"Ok. Bye!"
"Bye!" Misty yelled into the phone, before it went blank. "I really like your mom, Ash."
"Thanks. Um…I was wondering, how long do you think we should wait 'till we tell them that
you're pregnant?" He asked nervously.
"A couple of weeks. That way it doesn't look like we've done it yet." Misty said laying her head
against his shoulder.
"Ok. You look tired. Do you want to take a nap or something?" Ash asked her gently.
"Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea." Misty replied, as she stood up. "I'm going to lay
down for a bit." She told him.
"Ok." Ash said. Misty kissed him gently, and left the room. As soon as Ash thought she was out
of earshot, he picked up the phone. "Hello? Florist? I'd like a dozen white roses please."
***
Misty couldn't sleep even though she was tired. Something was bugging her. "Why do I
feel like I forgot something?" She asked herself out loud. She closed her eyes and tried to
remember what it was that she forgot. Nothing came to her. "It has something to do with Ash."
She muttered to herself.
***
Ash was lying on the couch watching TV, when Brock came back. "Hey, Ash! Where's
Misty?" He asked after looking around. Ash looked up from his show.
"She's taking a nap. Where were you?" Ash asked noticing a bag in Brock's hand.
"Oh, just at the bakery." He replied as he went into the kitchen. Ash got up off of the couch and
followed him in.
"Oh, wow!" Ash exclaimed as he saw the cake that Brock had gotten. It was pure white, with
two small figuring standing on top of it.
"Do you think Misty will like it?" Brock asked. Ash nodded his head.
"She'll love it."
****
Misty was tossing and turning, dreaming of something long forgotten. Misty felt like she
was four-years-old again. And she could see her father and mother talking in the living room.
She was standing just out side of the doorway. They couldn't see her. "I can't believe I lost to
that Ketchem!" Misty's father hollowed. He threw a glass that was sitting on a nearby table.
"Now, dear. Don't worry, Tony, you'll be able to rematch him next year." Misty's mother said,
trying to comfort her husband.
"No, I can't Becky! He quit the league today! He said something about spending more time with
his family! Can you believe that!? Doesn't even have the decently to give me a rematch!" Tony
yelled.
"We'll get back at him for taking you success. We'll win. We always have, and we always will."
Becky said evilly.
***
Misty woke up in a cold sweat. She remembered, what had gone on all those years ago.
"What ever happened?" Misty asked out loud. "I wish I knew." Misty got up and got into the
shower. "What did mom mean, when she talked about getting him back? And is this person any
relation to Ash?" Misty asked herself, as the water flowed over her body. "I need to think. Why
can't I remember what the outcome of that was? Or did I never find out? How could have I just
dismissed something like that?"
*Flashback*
A few days after she had heard her parents discussing the match the police came to her
house. The asked her family a whole bunch of questions.
"It's a shame. He has a son about her age." A police officer said to her father.
"I'm sorry I couldn't have been more helpful. If you need anything please don't be afraid to
ask." Misty's father said to the officer. The next scene was at the cemetery in Lavender Town.
"Mrs. Ketchum, If you need anything just ask." Misty's mother said shaking the hand of a
woman dressed all in black. She had a young boy standing next to her. He was about the same
age as Misty.
"Thank you. And thank you for coming." The woman said gently.
*End Flashback*
Misty gasped deeply. She did know what had happened. Or at least she suspected. Misty
leaned up against the shower's wall. "What should I do?" She asked herself out loud. "Should I
tell Ash? Should I just go to the police? Do I..." She got cut off by a soft jerk coming from her
stomach. She placed her hand over her stomach. "Oh."
***
Ash and Brock were patiently waiting for Misty to come down, from her nap. "Brock I
can't thank you enough for not telling the whole world that we're about to become parents." Ash
told Brock.
"Sure, no problem. I think Misty would rather see you as a father, before she sees you in the
grave." Brock said smiling.
"I think you're right."
"Right about what?" Misty asked from the bottom of the stares.
"Nothing." Ash said standing up and offering her, his seat.
"Thanks."
"Misty, Pikachu, Togepi, and I got you two something." Brock said as he stepped out of the
room.
"What?" Misty yelled after him.
"You'll see!" He yelled back. Brock walked back into the room with the cake he'd bought.
"Oh, Brock! It's beautiful!" Misty exclaimed.
"I'm glade you like it." Brock said smiling. Pikachu walked in caring several plates and a cake
cutter. "Well you two, go ahead and cut the cake!" Brock exclaimed excitedly.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you're hungry for cake." Misty said teasingly. Ash picked up the
cutter from Pikachu and Misty and him cut the cake. They fed each other a little bit of cake,
trying not to get it all over each other.
****
"I have an idea!" Tony shouted out suddenly. "We can have Misty and Ash over for
dinner, than we'll poison his food, and we won't have to worry about him any more!"
"I think you're forgetting one very important thing. We're trying to stay OUT of jail, and if we
kill him when he's at our house, the police will know we did it." Becky pointed out.
"Oh. Good point."
"But I think you might have been on to something there though." Becky said trailing off.
***
Ash and Misty had just dished up the cake when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Ash yelled
running to the door. Misty looked at Brock and he just shrugged. A few moments later Ash came
in holding something behind his back.
"What's that?" Misty asked.
"Oh, just a little something for my new wife." Ash said playfully. He pulled out a large bouquet
of white roses from behind his back.
"Oh, Ash! They're beautiful!" Misty cried as she hugged Ash. Ash smiled and hugged her back.
"Pika." Pikachu said looking up at Brock. Brock nodded his head.
"Pri?" Togepi asked trying to get a better look at the flowers.
"They're roses." Misty told the little pokémon. "See, they smell pretty." She told him holding the
flowers to its nose (?).
"Pri!" Togepi cried happily. Every one sat down and started to eat the cake.
***
That night Misty was having a dream about being at a funeral. She was wearing all black
and she was crying. In the center off the room sat a coffin. She walked up to see who was inside.
But as she walked up to it, she was thinking. [I know this person. But who is it? I wouldn't be
crying unless I knew them.] She looked inside to see Ash. He was wearing the same clothes that
he had always worn. Blue jeans, black T-shirt, blue and white jacket, tennis shoes, and his
Pokémon League hat. "No." Misty whispered. "NO!! ASH NO! YOU CAN'T BE DEAD! YOU
HAVE TO BE ALIVE! YOU HAVE TO! YOU JUST HAVE TO!" Misty screamed at the body.
She threw herself on Ash. She could feel her some one pull her off of him.
"If it wasn't for you, he'd still be alive." Her father told her. "This is all your fault."
"If it wasn't for you, my bestfriend would still be alive." Brock told her angrily.
"Pika, pika pikachu!" Pikachu yelled at her, his normally happy brown eyes, cold and filled with
hate for her.
"Please, no. I didn't do anything! It isn't my fault!" Misty screamed out.
"If you hadn't met him, we wouldn't have had to kill him." Her father said coldly. Misty fell to
the ground sobbing. She looked up to see Todd, Richie, and Tracy step up next to her.
"It's all your fault." Todd told her. "If you hadn't been so selfish about that bike, and had let him
pay you back like he said he would, he wouldn't have died."
"Yeah!" The other two said. "It's all your fault Misty. It's your fault Misty!"
"Misty! Misty!" Misty heard a voice that seemed to be coming from far away. "Misty!" She
woke up with a start. She looked around the room and started crying. "It was just a dream." Ash
told her, gently taking her into his arms. She sobbed into his shoulder.
"It was so real. Don't every leave me Ash." She whispered.
"I won't. I'm here to stay." Ash told her gently, confused by what she was saying. "Do you want
to tell me about the dream?" Ash asked her. She nodded her head. "Ok." She proceeded to tell
him the whole dream.
(A.N. I'm sorry but I'm too lazy to re type that out, and I don't think you really want to read it
again.)
Ash was confused by why Misty's father was talking about killing him, but he didn't interrupt.
After a moment, Misty sighed and looked Ash in the eye.
"Ash, have something I think I need to tell you." Ash nodded his head.
"Alright."
"Ash do you remember when you were about four-years-old?" Misty asked him. Ash looked
thoughtful for a moment.
"I remember somethings, why?" Misty sighed again, suddenly not sure that this was a good idea.
"Do you remember your dad's funeral?" Misty asked him bluntly. Ash looked shocked but
nodded his head.
"Yes. But how did you know my dad was dead?"
"So do I."
"You do what?"
"Remember your dad's funeral. I was there too." Misty told him looking down at the floral
pattern on the sheets.
"You were?"
"Yes. But um...that's not totally what I wanted to talk to you about." Misty told him, close to
breaking down into tears. Ash sat up more and pulled Misty close to him.
"Ok, go on."
"I think....I think...I...know...um...do you know how your dad died?" Misty asked suddenly.
"Yeah. He was murdered." Ash told her quietly.
"Well...um...I think I know who killed him." Misty said quietly. Ash pushed her away and
looked into her eyes.
"You're serious?" He asked her urgently.
"Yes."
"Who? Misty you've got to tell me." Misty was silent for a bit, and Ash was afraid she wasn't
going to answer him.
"My parents." Misty told him quietly. She looked away from him. Ash looked at her in shock.
"Misty, you're kidding right? How would you know something like that?" Misty looked back at
Ash tears stinging her eyes.
"When I was little, I...heard my dad yelling. I went downstairs to see what was wrong. I heard
my dad say he lost to a Ketchum. My mom said something about getting even!" Misty said
sobbing.
"Why didn't you tell anybody?" Ash demanded.
"I was four! Who'd believe me?!" Misty asked.
"Why now? Why did you tell me now?"
"I don't know!" Misty yelled sobbing. Ash stood up.
"Ash?" She asked, looking up.
"I'm going for a walk." He told her coldly. Misty watched as Ash walked out of the room.
***
Brock and Pikachu were sitting at the dinning room table, when Misty sat down. "Morning,
Misty."
"Morning." She said darkly.
"What's wrong?" Brock asked. Misty sat down in a chair.
"Ash and I had a fight last night." Brock looked confused.
"You two fight everyday."
"Yeah, but this time Ash walked out." Misty said laying her head on the table. Brock looked
surprised.
"He walked out? How long has he been gone?"
"Since two this morning." Brock stood up and walked to Misty's side.
"He probably just needed sometime to cool off and think. He'll be back soon." Brock reassured
her. Misty nodded her head.
"Thanks, Brock."
"Pikachu, why don't you go check on Togepi?" Brock asked the small pokémon.
"Piki!" Pikachu said hopping off of the table and running to check on the other pokémon.
"Brock, I'm scared. What if Ash doesn't come back?"
"He will. He has to get his stuff." Misty glared at him.
"No, I mean what if he leaves me?"
"He won't. He loves you. And IF he ever does, I'll be right here at your side." Brock told her.
Misty smiled. "You know I'd do anything for you. You're like a little sister to me." Brock
declared. "Tell you what. I'll make you some breakfast and you can just sit here and relax."
"Thanks." A few seconds later, Pikachu brought Togepi, into the dinning room. Brock brought
out the pokémon food, when the door to their apartment opened. Misty jumped to her feet.
"Ash?" She asked as he entered the room. Ash still looked angry. "Oh, Ash! I'm so sorry." Misty
said as she started to cry. She was surprised when she felt Ash's arms wrap around her.
"Misty, I'm still angry. And I wish you 'd told me soon. But we can work though this." Misty
nodded her head. "One thing though." Misty looked up into Ash's eyes. "We have to go to the
police." Ash told her, wiping a tear from her face.
"Ash, I love you." Misty said softly.
"Love you too. Sit down and I'll go see how Brock's coming with breakfast."
"Breakfast is ready." Brock said while carrying out the food.
"Great! I'm starved!" Ash declared. Misty smiled. They all sat down and started eating.
"By the way, if you don't mind me asking, where did you go Ash?" Brock asked.
"Just out walking. I needed to clear my head."
"Ah." A few minutes of silence ensued.
"ACK!" Misty said jumping.
"What?!" Broth boys asked jumping to their feet.
"Warn me when you're going to do that!" Misty declared to her stomach.
"What?!" Misty looked up at the two panicking boys.
"Your child kicked me." Misty said pointedly at Ash.
"It kicked?!"
"Wow cool!"
"Pika!"
"Priiiii!"
"You want to feel?" Misty asked.
"Yeah!" Ash said running to Misty's side. She put his hand on her stomach. Suddenly Ash's face
lit up. "Wow!" He exclaimed.
"Brock, do you want to feel?" Misty asked. Brock nodded his head. Misty placed Brock's hand
on her stomach, like she'd done to Ash's. When the baby kicked, Brock smiled.
"Wow!" Brock whispered happily. The baby continued to kick through out breakfast, so Pikachu
and Togepi got to feel too.
***
After breakfast, Misty and Ash went to the police station. Misty had told the officers what she
remembered. "I'm sorry, Ms...." The officer started.
"Mrs. Ketchem." Misty interrupted.
"Ah, yes Mrs. Ketchem, we really can't do anything with out a confession or some evidence."
He said. Both misty and Ash's mouths dropped open. "Now if you could get them to confess."
Misty sighed.
[What am I suppose to do? Walk up to mom and dad and say, "Mom, dad, did you kill Ash's
father?"] Misty thought to herself.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful."
"Yeah, thank you." Misty said standing up. Ash wrapped his arm around her. The drove home in
total silence.
***
When they pulled up, they saw their pokémon playing in the yard. "Brock must have let them
out." Misty muttered as Starmie sent out a bubble beam into the air, for Togepi. Togepi started to
chase the bubbles around the yard.
"Yeah, I wonder where he is." Ash said opening up the door for Misty.
"Yes Mr. Waterflower. I'll tell them as soon as they get in. Yes sir. Bye." They heard Brock
hang up the phone. They came into the kitchen. "Oh Misty, your dad called. He wants you to call
him back." Brock told her as he went back to washing the dishes.
"I don't want to talk to him ever again!" Misty yelled running up the stairs. Brock looked at Ash.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Misty thinks her parents killed my dad." Brock's mouth dropped open.
"WHAT?" Brock demanded. Ash sighed.
"Come on. We'll go talk with Misty." Ash said motioning for Brock to follow him up. Misty was
lying on the bed looking through an old photo album.
"You'd never suspect." Misty said when the boys entered.
"Suspect what?" Brock asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
"That my parents are murders." She said coldly. Brock looked surprised.
"Misty, how can you be so cold about something like that?" Brock asked. Misty looked up.
"They hurt Ash." She said simply. Brock nodded his head. "There has to be a way." She
muttered, as Ash sat next to her."
"A way to do what?" Brock asked.
"A way to get them to confess." Misty muttered again.
"I have an idea!" Ash declared. "We tell every one the truth."
"The truth?" Misty interrupted. Ash nodded his head.
"Yeah, we tell them about you being pregnant before we were married. We'll tell them all at the
same time." Misty nodded her head.
"I see. Get them even MORE mad at you." Misty said sarcastically. Ash shook his head.
"No, while we're all at dinner, Pikachu and Brock can bug their hours."
"Just one small problem. My sisters." Misty jumped in.
"We'll bring them with."
"How will you explain why Brock isn't with you?"
"Simple. He's watching the pokémon." Brock smiled as the plan began to form.
***
It had taken them a full hour to finish the plan. Finally Ash and Misty had found a spot wear they
could all eat, and Brock had found some bugs. Misty and Ash were sitting at the table when
everyone arrived. Ash and Misty exchanged nervous glances. "Hi kids!" Ash's mom said
excitedly.
"Hi." They replied. Every one sat down, and started looking through the menus. Once the food
had arrived, Misty's father looked up.
"Misty, you said that you and Ash and something you wanted to tell us?" Misty and Ash jumped.
"Um...yeah. Ash and I have some really big news." Misty said looking at Ash. He nodded his
head. Misty glared at him.
"Um...Right, My turn. Misty and I well we're, um."
"We're going to have a baby."
"Ah! My baby is going to have a baby!" Ash's mom yelled, wrapping him and Misty into a hug.
"Well how wonderful!" Beck yelled hugging them next.
"Well that's not all we wanted to tell you." Ash started to say but was ignored by his mom.
"When's the baby due?" Misty and Ash exchanged looks.
"In about five months." Misty said while looking at the ground.
"But you've only been married for two days!" Ash's mom yelled, standing up. Ash looked down
at his feet.
"Don't be mad at Ash!" Misty begged. "As soon as he found out, he asked me to marry him!"
Ash's mom sat back down.
"I guess it is important to note that he did take responsibility for his actions." Tony said
suddenly. "Though, I'm not happy about it. I'll give him that much." He said glaring at Ash.
***
Mean while Brock and Pikachu were looking for a way to get into the house. All the doors and
windows were locked both manually and electronically. The electronics weren't a problem,
seeing as Pikachu could fry those easily. Finally, Brock called out Bulbasuar and had him pick
the locks. In seconds, they were in the house, planting bugs.
***
Misty and Ash arrived back at the apartment late that night. Brock and Pikachu had all the
listening equipment set up. "So how did it go?" Brock asked.
"Well I though Ash's mom was going to kill us, but other than that, I think it went pretty well."
Misty said. Brock raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.
"So, who was your evening?" Ash asked sitting down in a chair next to Misty.
"Well we got all the bugs in place. Took a while, but we got it done." Misty smiled.
"That's great! So when can we start taping?" Misty asked excitedly.
"Right now, if you want." Brock offered.
"Let's." Ash said. Brock hit the recording device and some static sounded through the room, than
Becky's voice was clearly heard through the room.
"Well I don't know what to do! I'm all out of ideas!" She yelled.
"There's nothing we can do now. Let's just go to bed. Maybe we'll think of something in the
morning." Tony said.
"Oh, all right. But I hope we think of something soon!" Becky declared angrily. Ash, Misty, and
Brock listened for a few more minutes but when nothing interesting was said they turned of the
machine.
***
Becky had just finished putting the dishes away when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Daisy
yelled. "Misty, what's wrong?!" Every one came running. Becky was surprised to see Misty
sobbing.
"Honey! What's wrong?" Becky asked.
"Ash...he...said...that...he...was...going...to...leave...ME!" Misty said crying harder. Daisy led her
into he living room. Misty plopped onto the couch.
"Honey, calm down." Becky said hugging Misty. Misty took the Kleenex that Daisy had offered
her. "Why don't you tell us what happened?" Becky asked gently. Misty sniffed and nodded her
head.
"We were talking about our pokémon journey. I want to settle down and raise our
baby...he...he...wants to keep going. We started fighting, and he said that he was going to keep
going, with our without me." Misty said crying harder. Daisy hugged Misty.
"What's going on?" Tony asked from the doorway.
"Misty and Ash had a fight, and Ash said that he was going to leave." Becky summed up.
"He WHAT?!" Tony yelled. Misty nodded her head. "I'm going to kill him!" Tony yelled.
"Please, don't daddy!" Misty begged as Tony started to march out the door. He flung open the
door and came face to face with Ash. He was holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Misty!" Ash declared. "I'm so sorry!" Ash said dropping to one knee, and thrusting the flowers
at her. She dropped to Ash's height and hugged him. "Misty, please for..." But he was cut off by
Misty kissing him. When Misty let Ash go, he helped her stand up.
** Give her a break. She's nine moths pregnant. She NEEDS a little help standing up now. **
"Please forgive me." Misty sobbed. Ash shook his head.
"It's not your fault. I shouldn't have been so stubborn." Ash told her.
"Why don't you two come in and talk?" Becky asked. Ash shook his head.
"I think we should go home and talk this over." Ash told her, as Misty nodded her head.
***
When they got to the car Misty dried off her face with a tissue, as They drove a way. "Nice
timing, My dad was just walking out the door." Misty told him smiling.
"Well actually, I'd been standing there since he got home." Ash confessed. "Nice acting job."
"Thanks."
***
Later that night the small little group was sitting around talking about how to get Tony and
Becky to confess. "OW!" Misty said suddenly clutching her stomach. Ash and Brock were at her
side in an instant.
"Are you alright?" Ash asked her. Misty shook her head.
"I think it's time." Ash and Brock took of in a panic. A few minutes later, and a couple of mallet
wounds to the head they were on their way to the hospital.
***
Hours later, ** 12 to be exact ** Misty had finally given birth to a baby girl. The parents of Ash
and Misty were in the room talking and passing the baby around.
** I really feel sorry for newborns. They get passed around to hundreds of people that they don't
know. And people wonder why kids have trust issues... **
Nurse Joy walked in. "How's every one doing?" Joy asked. Ash looked up from his hew little
girl.
"We're doing fine." Ash answered softly. "Brock, wanna hold her? Ash asked. Brock nodded his
head.
"Sure!" Ash handed her over.
"Mind her head!" All the women in the room yelled.
"What's her name?" Joy asked brushing what little brown hair the baby had.
"Um...she doesn't have one right now." Misty admitted. Joy nodded her head as Ash wrapped his
arm around Misty. One of Ash's scars were showing.
"Ash! What happened to your arm?" Joy asked.
"Oh, this? It's from when I was attacked by a wild Golem." Ash told her.
"A Golem?" She repeated. Ash smiled weakly.
"Would've killed me too, if Misty wouldn't have been there." The gears in Joy head started
turning.
[A Golem.] She thought. [Ash's dad, Aoshi, was killed by a Golem. I'm begging to...wait the
entire league showed up for Aoshi's funeral. Only one family didn't seem too heartbroken about
his death.]
"You never told me you were attacked by a Golem." Ash's mom said suddenly. "That's how
your father was killed."
"And I almost killed this one off too." Tony muttered. Becky elbowed hi, but Joy had heard him.
"I've got some things I need to tend to." Joy said. "I'll talk to you later." She said walking out
the door.
***
Three moths later:
"Mr. and Mrs. Waterflower, we the jury find you guilty of murder. We sentence you to life in
prison.
***
"I'm glad that's finally over." Joy said walking up to Ash, Misty, Brock, and Ash's mom, who
was holding the baby.
"Us too." Misty said. The baby started to fuss. "Ash, would you hand me Destiny's bottle? I
think it's time I fed her." Misty asked.
"Destiny?" Joy asked. "Why Destiny?"
"Misty felt it was destiny that she was born on my father's death date, and it was the same day
that her parents were caught."
***
Nurse Joy stood in front of a grave stone that read: Aoshi Ketchem, Beloved Husband, And
Father. Who Will Be Deeply Missed. "Well your murder has been solved. And you have a
beautiful granddaughter. Her name is Destiny. But I'm sure Ash and Misty will tell you about
that. We still miss you. I'd better go now. I love you." She said dabbing her tears away, as she
walked away.
Author's Note #2: Well that's it. This is probably the last installment of this fic I'll make. There
are a few things that as I wrote this story, suddenly didn't make sense. Like the fact that half of
the time they were walking, and suddenly they were driving. I came up with an easy solution for
that. In the PokéWorld, they can drive at an earlier age. Ash, Misty, and Brock also rented an
apartment, which is why they aren't living in a Pokémon Center the whole time. And Team
Rocket was on a much needed and deserved vacation. Let see, I'm sure there was something else
hang on. *looks through hand written notes** Oh, Ash's dad's name. Tiki helped me come up
with that one. *Looks at all the places where it says 'Ash's mom.'* I really wish I 'd given her a
name. Oh well. Well that's it for now. Time to start typing up and finishing my next fics. *Looks
at stack of notebooks.*
