Chapter 13

The next day is Valentine's Day, a day that shows love around the world. That morning, Ash has been in the kitchen while everyone is still sleeping. He is mixing the bowl full of chocolate and he asks, "Pikachu, Arceus, do you think that Lillie will like my chocolate?"

Pikachu sighs, "Please Ash, we have been through this, I am sure she will like it, in fact, she likes all the food that you made for her."

"If you say so." As they are talking to each other, they didn't notice Delia walking into the room. Delia asks, "Ash, what are you making?"

Ash is surprised as he turns around, he says, "Mom, you scared the hell out of me...today is Valentine's Day, so I am making some chocolate."

Delia widens her eyes and says, "Oh, I can't believe that the time has come. So who are you making those Chocolate to? Surely you have someone that you like, right?"

Ash sighs, "I just want to make some for my Pokemon, I want to thank them for helping me win the Pokemon Leagues. There is nothing else."

Delia says, "Ash, I am your mother and you can't fool me. By the way you are making those patterns, I am sure that you are not going to just make them for your Pokemon, right?"

Ash says, "Am I this obvious?"

Delia smiles and pats his head. "The way you are lying is so much like your father, and besides, I did a little checking of your heart."

"You checked my heart?" Ash is surprised. "Of course you are an aura user after all."

"Yeah, so does your father." This causes Delia to frown. Ash notices that she is thinking about his father and he says, "Mom, don't cry. I am sure that we will be able to see him again."

"I really hope so, honey." Delia says. "So can you tell me who are you making those chocolate for?"

Ash sighs and says, "An angel that is always there for me, an angel that accompanies me throughout these years."

Delia then asks, "So when will I be able to meet the angel of yours?"

Ash says, "I don't know. But with those guys still here in my house, I don't feel like talking about it. Maybe once we are in private? But can you not tell this to others? I have been trying to hide it a secret for many years."

Delia smiles, "Of course, honey. You are my son after all."


At the same time, Lillie is making the same chocolate in the kitchen, and this time Lusamine is the one to enter the kitchen. Lusamine asks, "Lillie, what are you doing?"

Lillie freezes a little and says, "Mother? Are you sneaking up to me again?" She pouts a little and Lusamine says, "Why can't I see what my daughter is doing? But by the looks of it, you are making chocolate, right? Considering that today is the Valentine's Day after all."

Lillie says, "Yes, Mother. I have read it from a book and I want to try out how to make them."

Lusamine asks, "But why are you making them? Are you going to give them to someone you like?"

Lillie blushes hard and says, "What are you talking about?"

"Calm down, Lillie. You can tell me everything now that Gladion, Amber and Kristen aren't here."

Lillie nods and says, "I want to give the chocolate to a friend, he has been helping me a lot when we are traveling in Kalos. And I want to repay him by making these to him."

"That is so nice of you, but can you tell us more about this friend of yours?" Lusamine asks.

Lillie frowns, "I am sorry, mother. But we promised to keep our relationship a secret, I have to ask him today to see if I can tell you about him."

"I see...I will wait for the day that comes." Lusamine says while leaving the room, Lillie sighs as she says, "Even though she is my mom, but why did she still act like a child..."

But unknown to her, Adam and Ruka are listening to their conversation and Ruka asks, "So what is going on here? Is there something that I didn't know about it?"

Adam says, "Maybe even I didn't know about it. But I wanted to find out in this Valentine's day." Then Ruka sighs.


After everyone has eaten breakfast, Ash asks, "So what are you guys going to do today?"

Dawn says, "I heard that there is a souvenir shop that sells some cute dolls, so I am going to go there."

"Me too." Misty says, "I might go buy some for my sisters."

"I am going to stay and train my Pokemon." Max says.

"What about you? Ash?" Oak asks, but then Ash is missing, much to their surprise. "Hey, where did he go?"

"He must have been going to our secret hideout when we are children." Gary says. "And I am going as well."

Then the others glare at him and Iris asks, "Why didn't you tell us that you guys have a secret hideout?"

Gary says, "Secret hideout, which means that we keep it a secret." Before everyone can ask, Brock says, "Give him a break. He has been stressed ever since he lost Ash yesterday."

"Yeah sure..." The girls aren't buying it as Gary leaves the room, but much to his surprise, Brock also tags along.

"So where is Ash, Gary?" Brock asks.

"Brock, just go somewhere else, you are distracting me."

"Not until I know what he is doing, I know you have seen him yesterday." Brock says.

"Please Brock, just go...oh man." Gary forced Brock into a bush as he sees how Ash and Lillie are reuniting together. "Gary, what the hell?" Brock growls a little and Gary shushes him up. "Shut up, if you want to be here, at least be quiet and stay hidden." Then he quickly pushes Brock down as Ash is looking at their direction with a confusion.


Ash and Lillie share a long kiss on the lips as Ash says, "Good morning, beautiful."

Lillie giggles at the statement and she says, "My prince. I have been wanting to talk to you about a lot of things, if you don't mind?"

"Of course I don't mind." Ash says with a smile. "Since it is you who requested it. By the way, you look very beautiful. I see you wear the same dress I bought you in Kalos."

"Thanks, it reminds me of our journey in the Kalos Region." Lillie says. "Besides, Ash. Do you know what day is today?"

"Why of course. Today is Valentine's Day. A day that bonds us lovers together." Ash says with a smile. "In fact, I have made a present for you."

"Oh really? I also made a present for you as well." Then they sit down and starts to take out their presents. "Chocolate?" Lillie asks.

"You are correct." Ash says as he opens it for her. Lillie looks at the heart shaped chocolate and she says, "Do you want to guess mine?"

"Maybe the heart shaped chocolate just like mine?" Ash asks as Lillie beams. "You are correct. Wow, we all did the same thing in the morning don't you think?"

"Yeah, nothing better than enjoying chocolate with you by my side." Ash says as they sit down.


At the same time, Brock is in a mixture of shock, surprised, awe, jealousy, disbelief, confusion and a lot of emotions that starts to take toll on him. He pinches himself to check if he is dreaming, but it is not. And he asks Gary, "Did I just saw what Ash is flirting, kissing, giving presents to a girl?"

"Yes, you did." Gary says.

"And I don't know that girl, I don't think that our friends in the house knows her as well, does Ash know her very well that he did that?"

"Yeah." Gary says with a calm tone. Then Brock faints in the spot, causing Gary to sigh a little.

In the other location, Adam and Ruka are watching and thanks to Adam's aura, he manages to conceal themselves and then Ruka asks, "Adam, did we see Lillie kissing a boy, be flirted by the boy, and also giving presents to him because today is Valentine's Day?"

"Pretty much." Adam says, feeling a little proud, much to Ruka's confusion.

"And not to mention that the boy looks just like you, but much younger." Ruka says.

"Because he is my son, Ash Ketchum." Adam says, causing him to asks, "What in the world is going on?"

Adam sighs as it is going to be a long story.
