2p.m.
Misty had been scurrying around the house trying to get everything ready before Ash had to leave for the Pokémon League to defend his title. Currently they were just in the preliminary rounds, but that only meant that he was supposed to already be there to make an appearance. She passed the den on another flying trip down the stairs, and noticed the TV was on. She stepped in, planning to turn it off, but instead saw Ash and baby Adrian sprawled out in front of the TV.
"Ash, what are you doing?" Misty asked in what was a very typical way to start a conversation between them.
Ash looked up innocently at Misty and asked, "What do you mean?"
She didn't know if Ash was playing dumb or if he was actually being dumb, but Misty plowed on anyway. "Why are you making Adrian watch the Pokémon League Battles? He's only a few weeks old; he can't even see the stupid television set."
Ash shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and replied, "I don't see the harm. It's all a part of his training."
Misty shut her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose before questioning, "Training?"
"He has a legacy to live on!" Ash exclaimed as though it were obvious. "To live up to being a Pokémon Master, like me," he continued without even trying to hide his smugness, "he has to start his training early."
"Ash, you won't have a legacy to live up to if you don't get off of your lazy butt and get ready to go. Daisy and Tracey will be here any minute to watch the Gym while we're gone; get moving!"
With one eye still on the TV, Ash slowly got up before Misty reached for the baby and shoved Ash out of the room.
A/N: Ah! A mini Ash! What a terrifying prospect. Don't think that Ash is being sexist, because if you recall, he did start training Charlotte early. He wants them both to be masters. Not just Adrian. I have the next chapter written, and that one takes place just a few days/weeks after this one. Kind of a continuation.
