Chapter 11- "Reunion"

Ash grumbled something under his breath as he flopped on his bed. "Great...just great." "What is the matter Ash?" Misty asked, walking in the room. "This:" He held up a small white envelope. Misty grabbed it from Ash, opened it to reveal a small green letter, she opened it and started to read it aloud.

"Dear Ash Ketchum and Misty Waterflower,

You have been invited to the remarriage of Delia Ketchum and Professor Samuel Oak. The date of the ceremony is on 6/12/2005 at the back yard of Samuel Oak House. Please join on this harmonious day.

Sincerely K and O"

"So what is so bad about this?" "I really hate the sight.... It's scary to watch." "We have to go, they invited us." "Yeah it would be rude not to show up.. after all, it is my mom..." "What is the date today?" Ash looked at the calendar in his room, "It is the 11!"

"Boy mail doesn't go fast anymore do they?" Misty rolled her eyes.

It was bad enough for Ash that he had sex with Misty, but it got worse, by have to seeing his Mom and a person he almost talked to everyday, Professor Oak, being married! All those nights with the constant bumping sounds, it made him sick to his stomach. The day went slow. Which was good for Ash, he wish time stopped and he would never have to go, but he had to. The next day, Ash walked with Misty the short difference to Professor Oak's house. They arrived at the backyard, to see a tent done up in beautiful colors of white, blue, and yellow. There was flowers everywhere, a large ice sculpture of a Ho-oh, and a 5 layer cake. It was wonderful. They saw many familiar faces, such as Brock, Tracy, and many others Ash had met on his journey. Ash and Misty sat down near the front to watch. Soon the bridal music came as Professor Oak and Mrs. Ketchum walked down the isle. Soon the wedding was almost over.

"Whoever thinks that these two should not be married, please speak now, or forever hold your peace." The priest said. Immediately everyone who wore a white lab coat stood up. "Statistics show that 65% of all marriages end up in divorce or suicide." One scientist said. "Most marriages are just for sex." Another one chimed in. "Because I love him!" A woman screamed.

Suddenly, there was a loud needle scratch that made everyone cringe.

"Quiet Ivy." Professor Oak said quietly, "I never liked you in the first place, too boring!" "Because she is ugly!" A very familiar voice sounded... Ash knew that voice, that voice was one of his best friend he traveled with for years... "QUIET ALL OF YOU! I AM GOING TO MARRY HER IF YOU LIKE OR NOT!" "Ok!" The priest said quickly, "By the power invested by the state of Ohio, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife! GET OUT." "What a cocky so-and-so priest" Ash thought. As Mrs. Ketchum and Professor Oak walked to the limo to take them on their honeymoon, they stopped to throw the bouquet. "Oaky honey?" Mrs. Ketchum started, "How hard should I throw the bouquet so I get it to my son and my soon to be daughter?" She giggled and smiled. Oak looked back and smiled, "As far as you can throw."

Meanwhile, Ash and Misty were at the front doors, far away from the eager girls who wanted the bouquet. "Misty," Ash said quietly, "Why don't you try to catch the flowers?" "I don't believe in that stuff." Suddenly, the bouquet of flowers smacked Misty in the face, and before it dropped onto the ground, she caught it in her hands. "I think..." she looked up in the sky, "somebody is telling me something." "No..." Ash laughed, "I think my Mom is telling you something, come on Misty, lets go to the party." "Ok Ash."

They walked back to the covered tent. Misty went to the refreshment table as Ash saw Brock and walked next to him. "My Mom and professor Oak... I would never seen that coming." "Why not?" Brock asked/ "My Mom must be like 20 years younger!" "So?" "So? My Mom is too young!" "Age doesn't matter Ash, it's only a number." Ash pondered the words for the moment then he said, "How are you and May doing?" Brock scoffed, "When I came back to apologize to her, I found her sleeping with Tracy, that village bicycle. Before they could talk any longer, Misty outburst in a loud voice. "Nobody knows how dry I am!" Ash immediately ran to Misty and looked at the staggering figure. "Misty what is wrong?" "Nothing is wrong Ash.... All I have been doing," Her voice was slurred, "have been drinking this bitter water... well it wasn't bitter after I had about a good 10 drinks of that...stuff..." She then kissed Ash and bit his nose. He smelt wine on her breath, SHE WAS DRUNK! Just great, will his problems ever cease? He grabbed Misty and literally dragged him to his car and drove her home. However Ash, when getting her home realized he just took Brock's car by mistake. He shrugged the thought. He then dragged her into her bedroom and set her on the bed.

"Misty how could you get drunk so fast?" Ash said as he looked from the doorway at Misty. "Oh Ash... I am not drunk, I'm in a good mood..." "Misty... please rest... do us all some good..." "Oh now I know what you want, you want some loving don't you Ash?" Ash voice got panicked. "WHAT?" Misty rolled around on the bed undressing herself, "You want me, don't you!" "What are you doing?!" Misty's slurring got worse, "You know you want me, just like those nights ago." "No!" "Stop lying... you suck at it!" "That was then, this is now!"

Among the strange argument , Pikachu and Togetic peered from the hallway, of course they saw this before, but Misty was acting much stranger than she used to. Pikachu looked up at Ash, and said in a quizzed voice, "Pikachu?" Ash closed the door and looked at the confused pair. "She is drunk... she is just crazy because of a drink." "Toegtic?" "She is just crazy right now..." "Oh Ash... I am waiting for your luscious body..." Misty called out from the room. "Let her sleep it off... she'll conc out about.... now." Ash opened up the door to show Pikachu and Togetic Misty, naked on the bed, sleeping. "Let her sleep... for all of our sakes." "Pika." Pikachu knew... he was there before.

Ash dragged himself into bed, he wondered how it all happened, ever since that day she came back over, his life was a soap opera. It wasn't right... ever since he stopped at home three years ago, his life was turned upside down, everything changed, his dreams of a Pokemon master... would maybe never come true. His thoughts grew less and less deep, why think about the past... it wasn't doing anything helpful... he slowly fell asleep... hoping the next day would be better.
