Chapter 11: Time passes so quick...
Ash sighed. He stared at the bagde in his hand. An other one. On to the next gym. He turned around, and looked behind him, first at the gym, then at the people behind him. He looked at his younger siblings.
Max was now 15 years old, and a trainer, just like him. His Ralts was now a Gallade, that proudly stood next to him. He had a gym bagde, just like him. He had defeted the gym later after Ash, as Ash though it would in his advantage; He would not have to face the toughest pokemon from the gym. That's what brothers do. They help each other. Max's Mightyena growled to Breloom. Max signed, he just didn't get why those 2 hated each other so much. There sisters, May and Dawn, were walking next to each other. Dawn was still holding her Togepi, and pachirisu was sitting on her shoulder. She wasn't speaking. Dawn didn't often speak these days. May protected her, she had become a lot more confident since.. they found out.
It was still in Ash's head, as if it only happend yesterday, then 5 years ago. They had found Norman, and Dawn found out, with a big shock, who her father was. And at the same time, who her siblings were. Ash had looked at his mother, and back to Norman. He realized, that he too, finaly met his father. But her never imagend that he would find his father thát way. Coraline had screamed, yelled, cried and kicked, cursed and begged, completly confused and hurt. Dawn was only a year older then Max. So he didn't only cheat on his wife, before they had children, but also while they had children. And he lied to wards the woman. Ash found out, his mother and Norman had a short romance, when she was hanging out with "the wrong gang'. When she found out she was prengant, she went home, to take care of her baby, since the man that got her prengent mysteriously disappeared. Johanna had been a simulair story. They traveled together for a while, but when she found out she was prengant, Norman left her, disapearing in nowhere.
Ash shook his head; He didn't like his memories. He had siblings to take care of! After all, his father woudn't... Some one had to.
And how did the mothers respond?
Caroline imminently got a divorce. The 3 woman made a pretty powerful front against the men that lied to him. He lost every right to guard over this children. Delia didn't know what to do. Caroline invited her to stay wit her, for a few weeks. The 2 mothers had no idea Norman would attempted to win there love again. Fed up with his trying, Johanna offered to go on a Pokemon journey. After all, Delia had a Pokemon, Mimey. And it wasn't so hard to find a Pokemon for Caroline... With her caring nature, she attracted a Chancey. The 3 woman went on a journey. Delia asked Ash to take care of his siblings while they were gone. They all needed some time alone, and some questions awnsered... And they could help each other with that..
Afraid to ask? Don't be. Norman's problems.
Norman didn't have a good time. He got dragged from one fight into an other. The Pokemon comission was trying to take away his gym, the only thing he had left. He couldn't go after his ex-wife, nor his children. So he stayed, and spend his time training his pokemon. It didn't take long, before he become know as the unbeatable gym leader... After all, there was no gym leader who trained as much and as hard as he...
