Chapter 3, here it is.

I would like you to meet Stone.

To make things easier for everyone, i've tried to somehow work in the parents saying each other's names so you know who's who's kid, and so on and so forth.

I don't own Pokemon

"Hey son, how was your day?" Came the fast paced voice of his blond haired father.

"Oh Barry, hold off on the boy for a minute. He's just this second stepped through that door! Have some patience!" His bluenette mother exclaimed, with a roll of her beautiful dark gold eyes.

Her blond haired husband opened his mouth and began to protest. "But Ange-"

"Not everything can be accomplished by all that rush rush rush." Angie responded to Barry's protest as the trio made their way into the living room.

"Aw, Ma, it's no big deal really. I'm used to it. When you are working late at the day-care,-" Stone's voice was cut off as his father put a hand over his mouth, Barry pulling his son's head to his chest.

"He's joking... I mean, come on... Would I really do such a thing?" Barry looked at his wife, his orange eyes pleading. Both Angie and Stone burst out laughing, and was soon joined by Barry himself, having conceded defeat. This defeat was fully confirmed when Barry surrendered his grip on Stone's head, and let him sit down.

"Well, an answer to your question, Dad. My day was alright. We watched the Oreburgh Contest over at the Ketchum's house. Then later, at the old Rowan tree, Kitty – oops, I mean Katrina, she'd kill me for sure if she heard me call her Kitty, anyway, Kit-rina mentioned how we should get our own Pokemon-"

"That's a great idea!" Barry exclaimed, cutting Stone off in the middle of his explanation. All that got him was a light slap in the shoulder from the back of his wife's hand.

"Don't let him finish, will you?" Angie said with a roll of her eyes, as the three of them knew good and well that there was no changing the way that Barry was.

"Don't worry, I won't." Barry answered, giving his wife a mischievous smile. Then he turned his head to look at his son. "You know, Stone, Katrina was right on the mark when she suggested that you guys should all start your Pokemon Journeys. I think it was a good idea, at least."

"I never got the chance to go on my Pokemon Journey, since I was busy with the daycare and all. But the thing is, I agree that it would be a great experience for you." Angie nodded. "Besides, Twinleaf Town is going to get awful boring for you after awhile."

"You know, I have the strangest feeling that you're trying to get rid of me." Stone commented jokingly.

"Do not question our ulterior motives!" Barry exclaimed, also joking.

Reviews are lovely, very lovely, no matter how critical or "pointless".
