If you've decided to keep reading from the first two chapters, you are continuing to be my favourite. I hope that you aren't disappointed, whether you're just tuning in or have been reading since the first chapter.
Also, I apologize to everyone who read the Series introduction Fic, yeah, it was stupid, boring and repetitive, and yet for some reason I still posted it. Sorry.
All the OCs that have appeared thus far are mine, but those Canons aren't mine. Sadly, I do not own Pokemon.
Her outfit consisted of tight black shorts and a light blue sleeveless top with a gray collar. Her raven black hair was just left mostly down, mirroring the style that her mother had in all the photos of her youth. Two clips, the same shade of blue as her shirt, held her hair in her mother's signature style. Over her hair, instead of a hat like her mother's, a light green bandanna held her hair down.
As she walked into the kitchen, her parents both looked at her for a moment then exchanged a look. "You sure there was no mix-up at birth with May's Twins and Kat?" Ash said to his wife quietly, the two of them sharing an inside joke that went back to before Katrina or the twins had even been born.
"It would explain so much." Dawn whispered in response, before handing a plate of pancakes to her husband, and another to their daughter.
"Yum! Looks good!" Katrina exclaimed, here eyes wide a she accepted the plate stacked with pancakes from her mother. She grabbed the bottle of maple syrup off the counter and poured half of it onto her pancakes.
Excitedly, she sat down and began to stuff her face with the pancakes drenched in syrup. Both her parents watched her and sweat dropped. "Just like her father." Dawn whispered into Ash's ear as she moved to the table to sit down and eat her own breakfast.
"So, which starter do you want?" Ash asked, looking at his daughter, who was still shoveling massive forkfuls into her mouth.
"Slow down before you choke." A fourth voice cautioned.
"Grandma Johanna!" Katrina exclaimed, leaving her breakfast and running over to hug her grandmother.
"Finish your breakfast first, my dear." Johanna replied, smiling at her eager granddaughter. "You remind me of your mother when she started her journey."
"She reminds me of her father at that same time." Came yet another female voice. This voice belonged to Delia, Ash's mother.
"Nana Delia!" Katrina exclaimed, jumping up from her seat, which she'd only just sat down on.
"Hey Mom." Dawn said, coming over to hug her mother. Ash did the same with his mother, while Katrina returned to her breakfast for the second time.
At Ash and Dawn's wedding, Delia and Johanna had become quite good friends and decided to travel the regions together for a while, as their newfound friendship had reminded them of their younger days when they'd been on journeys of their own, and all the friends that they'd made. So together with their Pokemon, they'd started off with a very relaxing cruise.
"So you're starting your journey today. How exciting." Delia commented.
"How'd you know?" Katrina asked, looking slightly startled as she paused from shoveling what was left of her syrup-with-pancakes-in-it into her mouth.
"You're so excited, it's hard not to know." Johanna responded with a smile. "In fact, brace yourselves, I think that you might be worse than your mother was when she was first starting her journey."
"Can't beat Ash's start. Running to the lab in his pajamas, now that's classic." Delia smiled.
"Well, I can say one thing. She's worse than Ash when it comes to …. can you even call that eating?" Dawn said with an embarrassed half-smile. Both she and Ash had tried to teach Katrina good table manners, but they just never seemed to stick.
"Katrina, please stop mauling your syrup in front of your grandmothers." Ash said, getting laughter out of everyone except Katrina, who only then seemed to realize what she'd been doing.
"Oops." Was all that Katrina said, sweat-dropping with embarrassment.
"Sweetheart, while we were on our travels, we stopped by my friend Lila's Pokestylist Shop. We got you something." Johanna said, while Delia slipped out of the room for a moment to get the gift.
"Really? Thanks!" Katrina exclaimed, leaping up out of her chair for a third time.
"Nothing fancy, but we thought that you could find some use for it." Delia said, now returning from the front foyer, holding a green and pink flowery gift bag that was full of pale green tissue paper.
Katrina's blue eyes grew wide, and she accepted the gift bag from her grandmothers immediately. After making a green tissue paper blizzard, she pulled out a strip of black material with a buckle at one end.
"A belt for your Pokeballs and Pokedex, and other stuff too." Dawn commented, surveying the kitchen's now crumpled and covered in patches of pale green floor.
"Very handy." Ash nodded, giving his mother and Dawn's mother a look of 'but you shouldn't have'.
"Katrina, you are too spoiled." Dawn sighed, rolling her eyes are her daughter.
"We deserve to be able to spoil a child and then watch her parents suffer the consequences." Johanna teased.
"Yeah, like a Teacher does." Delia added with a smile.
