The sound of burning rubber against pavement was heard. Two cars had collided together, making a wreck of sound and fire. A black car had gone careening into the silver one, unexpectedly.
"Out of the way folks..out of the way.." A police officer walked up to the wreck. He pulled the door open on the black car. A young man sat there, shaken,
"I-it was a accident! My brakes didn't work and the gas pedal wouldn't come up for some reason!" he said, shaking.
"Hmmm," the police officer went over to the silver one. Fire roared from the engine, making the silver turn black.
Footsteps were heard from one of the buildings. Everyone, silently, turned around. They gasped.
"It can't be!" a woman said, who was holding a small child's hand.
"It is!"
"Why is the pokemon master here?" More people started coming to that
area. A couple walked up to him, blocking his view of the twisted silver car.
"Please, go back home!" the wife said. They knew him and his family, due to the fact they lived next to each other.
"Why?"
"Just go Ash!" the husband said.
"I'd prefer to know why I should, before I do John," Ash said. He looked about, the faces of the crowd sad.
"Um, it's that your-" Ash pushed past them before the two of them could start.
His face turned very pale. The twisted silver car sat there, unmoving. "Oh no," he said, "This can't be happening!"
An ambulance's sirens rang from a few feet away. They hopped out and
ran over. The fire had been put out.
"Who hit the car?" he asked. John looked at him.
"I don't know." he said, "Go onto the hospital."
***30 minutes later*** Ash looked at Arianna. She cried softly. "Mommy's hurt!" she said.
"Dad, what's happening?" Jessica asked.
"I don't know," Ash said, looking at her. The doctor came out. Jessica and Arianna sat down on a nearby bench.
"Mr. Ketchum, I have good news," the doc said.
"What?" Ash looked at him.
"Both of them are fine."
"BOTH?!" Ash yelled, "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?!"
The doctor looked at Arianna and Jessica, who looked at him and Ash in confusion.
"Well, you're going to have another kid to take care of in 8½ months," the doc said.
"I wonder why May never told me that." Ash said. He was puzzled.
"She doesn't know. She didn't have a test done, " the doc said.
"So she doesn't have a clue of it," Ash said. He frowned.
"Why don't you go tell her now?" doc asked, "She's been begging to see you."
Ash nodded. Arianna and Jessica followed him and the doctor through the hospital. "Here we are!" he said.
"You need your rest!" a nurse said inside.
"I'm not going to rest until I see my husband!" Ash recognized May's
irritated voice at once. He told Arianna and Jessica to wait out in the hall until he let them in.
Silently, he slipped in. The nurse looked at him. "Shhh!" he whispered.
The nurse looked at the chart. Ash slowly walked over and slipped his hands over her eyes. "Guess who," he said.
"ASH!" she hugged him. "Ash, the car, what happened to it-"
"It was wrecked." Ash said slowly, "I had someone get rid of it, though it might have been able to be repaired."
"But why?" she asked.
"I got a new car before this happened. It's outside."
"Mrs. Ketchum, you need to get some rest!" the nurse said. Ash looked at her.
"Your nagging ain't getting anybody anywhere," he said. The nurse left.
May picked up the chart, which the nurse had left on the end of the bed. Ash took it from her. "Hey! What did you do that for!?"
"I can tell you what it says."
"Then do it if you can."
"The both of you are fine."
"Both?"
"We gonna have a naw little baby."
"You have got to get help, Ash!"
"Why?"
"This will be the THIRD time we have a baby!"
"Yeah, so?"
"Never mind." May dropped it, knowing he did not know what she was talking about. "Come on! I want to get out of here!"
"Ok, let's go then," Ash said, taking out a new pair of car keys. The old ones dropped out of his pocket, onto the floor. He looked at them. "Too bad that car was demolished."
"You were the one that had it gotten rid of! It could've been fixed!" May said.
"Yes, but there was a BIG chance that it could NOT be fixed." Ash said, "So why waste time on something that wouldn't go anywhere?"
"What's the new car look like?" May asked.
"You'll see." he said.
***three minutes later*** "Red?" May turned and looked at Ash. He nodded.
"You said you wanted a red car, didn't you?" he asked.
"Yeah, but."
"But what? I wanted a silver car, and got one. You wanted a red car, and we got it!" he said, laughing.
"Yeah, I guess."
"What's wrong?" Ash looked at her.
"Is it big enough?" she asked, "for three children, and us?"
"I think so." Ash looked at the car. "Yeah, it is."
Arianna and Jessica looked at them. Ash sighed. "Let's get you home," he said.
"Ok!" she said. Ash shrugged.
***8½ months later** "We're gonna have a baby brother!" Arianna sang. She danced around the room happily.
"I wonder what his name will be.." Jessica said.
SCHREEEEECH! "Mommy and Daddy are home with our baby brother!" Arianna said.
"Remind me to fix those brakes." Ash opened the door. Arianna ran up
to him, yelling as loud as possible. "Shh!"
"Huh?" she asked.
"Our baby brother must be asleep," Jessica said.
"Ash, you better get them fixed!" May said, "Those brakes are about as bad as you."
"HEY! WHAT'S THAT 'POSE TO MEAN!"
"You got a big mouth, you talk and talk and talk, you never shut up." May said, "I hope this little one won't be like that."
"What's his name?" Arianna asked.
"Ronfar Jonathan," she said. She sat down on the couch, holding the baby. Arianna walked over and looked at the small boy. He had dark brown hair on his small head. His small eyes were an amber color.
"Ronfar?" Arianna asked. Ash got down next to Arianna.
"Yep, and he's going to be in the league," he said, looking at Ronfar.
"And since when have you been psychic, Ash?" May asked.
"I'm going to be, too!" Arianna piped up.
"In 5 years, Ari," Ash said.
"I though you had to be 10 to get a license to be a trainer," May said.
"They made it were you have to be 13 to get a license," he said.
"That means I can be a trainer!" Jessica said. Ash nodded. Ronfar waved his tiny fist in the air.
Knock knock! "Come in," Ash said, not looking up. Delia Ketchum came in.
"How's the baby?" Delia asked.
"Good."
"His name is Ronfar!" Arianna said.
"You and your video games, right Ash?" Delia asked. Ash smiled.
"Yeah. But I hope this Ronfar won't be like that Ronfar!" he said.
"That's the new baby?" asked a female's voice. May's friend Venessa walked in.
"Yes," Ash said.
"I'm gonna be having a boy of my own in a few weeks," she said.
"There there." May had stood up and was pacing back and forth. Ronfar stopped crying.
"He's tired. I'm going to go put him in the crib for a while," she said. May took him upstairs.
"I'm going to go," Delia said, "good luck." Delia and Venessa left, too.
