Chapter 4
"What the hell are you two doing her?" asked Ash
"We wanted to see out Granddaughter." said Norman.
May was listening, and walked over to the door. "You tell me to have an abortion and then tell me that I can't marry Ash. Ash had to knock you on your ass to get you to let me go. Now you show up here thinking everything is ok? I only have one thing to say and it is Fuck you!" said May, and she walked out of the room.
Raichu climbed down the stairs to see what was going on. "I would suggest that you levee before I have to call Officer Jenny to have you removed" said Ash. Raichu was by Ash's side and his cheeks started to shoot off tinny sparks like he was getting ready to shock Norman and Caroline.
"Wait one minute Ash. I was acting like a fool. I was disappointed, and hurt, and angry, and that action cost me my two kids. I would like to have the chance to make things right with my daughter." said Norman.
"That will be May's decision, and I will support her, but, you listen and you listen well, if she decides to resume contact, and you act like an ass, I will put you in your place, and you will never see your granddaughter! Is that understood?" said Ash
"Yes it is. We will be staying at the pokemon center for the next few days, if May wants to talk." said Caroline.
"I will tell her." said Ash. He closed the door and walked into the kitchen to see where May went. She had went out the back door. She was leaning on the side of the house crying and smoking.
"Fuck them! They come all the way here pretending like everything is ok. It is not fucking ok." said May
"I know sweetheart." said Ash
"Goddamn it! I was perfectly happy, I just made up with my soon to be husband, and now they want to come back and ruin everything that I have built without them." said May taking a drag on her Cigarette and putting it out. "I was not going to smoke another cigarette after the other day, but..."
"I understand Honey, I really do. Your parents have been acting like assholes. I will support you in anything you decide." said Ash
"I am so furious about this. They treated me like I was a little girl. How dare they treat me like that!" said May
"They realize that May. They want to do whatever it takes to make it right." said Ash
"I do have an idea. If I am going to be a gym Leader, I have to beat a gym leader. Tell them to meet me at Oak's Lab and we will have a 3 on 3 match, if I win they go away. If I loose they can see Ashley." said May as she took out another cigarette and lit it. "And this is the last one of these I will smoke!" She took a puff and deeply inhaled. "Go on, tell them." said May
Ash went to the pokemon center and told Norman of the conditions of seeing May again. And they agreed.
The next Day May went up to the lab to select the pokemon she would use in her battle with her father. Ashley stayed behind with Mrs. Ketchum. Raichu decided to come along incase he was needed. Norman made his way up to the field. "Father, I want this to be an official Balance Badge match" said May
"We can't have an official match without a Official Referee." said Norman
"I am a Pokemon League official and can referee gym matches." said Ash
"Fine. You know the rules and the stakes." said Norman
"Yes I do, when I win I get a badge and you go away." said May
"And when I win we talk and we get to see Ashley." said Norman
"This batch is between Pettleberg Gym Leader Norman and Challenger May of Pettleberg City, Each trainer may use 3 pokemon and only the Challenger may make substations. Let the Match began" said Ash
"Go Slakoth" Said Norman
"Go Munchlax" said May
Both pokemon came out of there pokeballs for battle. Munchlax put a strong fight for May but in the end Slakoth fainted Munchlax May returned Munchlax to its pokeball and sent out her newly evolved Jolteon witch made short work out of Slakoth. Normans next selection was his Vigoroth. Jolteon and Vigoroth battled tooth and nail until both were knocked out. May recalled her Jolteon while Norman recalled his Vigoroth. "Honey are you sure you still want to do this?" asked Norman
"You have not got the point yet" said May
"Fine, let's go Slaking" said Norman. Slaking is Norman's strongest pokemon.
"You really think I didn't know you would send him out did you." said May
"I know you knew that I would send him out princess." said Norman "Let's call it a draw, I don't want Slacking to hurt your pokemon. Let me see my granddaughter, and I'll leave." said Norman
"I'm not your little girl anymore Father. I can make my own decisions. I came prepared for your Slaking." said May. She reached down and pulled a pokeball off her belt. "Blazikin I choose you."
"Slaking, Hyper Beam" said Norman
"Dodge and use your Flamethrower" said May
The hyperbeam missed Blazikin and the pokemon hit Slaking with it' flamethrower. "Now follow it up with Blaze Kick" said May
"Mirror Coat" said Norman. Slaking took the hit, at the same time used the power of Mirror Coat to hit Blazikin. "Now Slaking rest." The big pokemon went to sleep
"Special attacks are not working so we'll have to use physical attacks. Blazikin use your pound attack." said May
Blazikin hit Slaking hard, but it didn't do much damage, then Slaking woke up. Both pokemon went at it. It was a back and forth battle. Finally Norman ordered a hyperbeam attack that May told Blazikin to take. Blazikin withstood the blast, when Norman ordered another hyperbeam Slaking did not move. "Don't you remember that hyperbeam leaves a pokemon vulnerable, now Blazikin, Sky Uppercut." ordered May and the vicious blow knocked out Slaking.
"Slaking is unable to battle, and Blazikin and May win the battle." said Ash
"Slaking return, you did good." said Norman
"Blazikin return, thank you very much, you deserve a nice long rest." said May
Norman walked over to his daughter "You did very well. You have proved without a shadow of a doubt that you are not my little girl anymore. You are a mature woman and can handle anything that comes your way. As the winner I am proud to present you with a Balance Badge." said Norman. He got a badge out of his pocket and handed it to May.
May did her victory pose" I won a Balance Badge." said May
"I will now leave, and not bother you again." said Norman. He then looked at Ash "Take care of my daughter and granddaughter."
I will." said Ash
"Wait Dad." said May. "I accomplished what I wanted to, making you realize that I am not a little girl. I am a woman that can take care of herself. I herd what you said to Ash. I realized that we both made mistakes. If we were not so stubborn, you might have been there when your Granddaughter was born." said May
"I am so sorry for the pain I caused you May. I am also sorry I wasn't there for you." said Norman
"I am sorry to May." said Caroline.
"Come on home with us. There is somebody you should meet." said May
