Authors note: I know that you're all eager for the birth, it's this chapter. You should all know that I mostly had a set storyline for this fic and I wanted to focus on Ash and Misty. That is why I didn't have a lot of what happened to whom. Today I will start taking a review poll on whether you think I should write a sequel to this fic. The sequel will focus on Ash and Misty's kids going back in time to save the past and meeting those their parents left behind.
Chap. 11: Badges and Blessings.
It is now almost nine months since Misty and Ash's pregnancy started. Bonnie and Clyde had told them that they will give birth any day now. We now join Misty as she is waiting for a tram while carrying some groceries home.
"Excuse me mamma, may I carry some of those for you?" said a nice looking man.
"Well okay." Misty said but she wasn't sure why this man would do that. He may just be trying to be nice but he could have not so noble intentions. He took some of the groceries rode with her to the Pallet Hills station.
"Hey buddy, you missed your stop." A worker on the tram said.
"You were going somewhere else?" Misty said.
"Yes but I couldn't let someone in your condition carry all of these by yourself."
Without saying a word she punched him in the head and stomped off with her groceries. Misty may have been nine months pregnant but she was still someone you didn't want to get mad at you. "The nerve of that guy; thinking that I'm a helpless invalid just because I'm pregnant!" She said.
Meanwhile Ash was at Prof. Willow's lab. As his pregnancy progressed he gradually slowed down his training so he was here to pay a visit to his other Pokemon.
"So he's going to join us any day now huh?" Prof. Willow said.
"Yep, I thought after the kids are born I'm going to spend a lot of time helping Misty with them and get my last badge a couple of weeks before the tournament." Ash said.
"But Ash didn't you know about the deadline?"
"What deadline?"
"There are only so many spots on to tournament roster and only the highest ranked qualifying trainers can get in. So they finalize who can enter by a set time. The deadline to enter is midnight tonight."
"But I only have 29 badges! I have to get one today!" Ash then remembered something that he vividly recalled from his dream. "Is there a Gym in this city?"
"Yes it's in the city but Ash you don't know anything about the Gym leader or the type of Pokemon he uses or his strategy."
"That's never stopped me before."
"There is no way for me to talk you out of this is there?"
"I have a promise to keep to some dear friends."
"Okay, you'll find the Gym on 15th street; just try to take it easy for your son's sake okay?"
"I'll try."
Ash left and a half hour later Misty came to the lab. "You let him go where?"
"There wasn't anything I could say to change his mind."
"Where is this Gym? He's going the think that labor pain is nothing more then a tickle when I get through with him!"
When Ash got to the Gym he met a young man with blond hair named Cless. "Hi there what can do for you?"
Ash was looking at the wall that had pictures of every Gym Leader White City ever had including his father.
"Can you tell me where the Gym Leader is?" Ash asked.
"You're looking at him." Cless said.
Just then Misty came in with Togepi. "Ash Eugene Ketchum, what do you think your doing?"
"Misty. Well there is a deadline…"
"I know about that. But what could be going through your head? Isn't our child more important?"
"And besides, I don't think that I would feel right battling someone in your condition." Cless said.
Misty's anger then was turned to another direction.
"What! I can't believe this! I'm tired of everyone thinking that we're a charity case just because were pregnant! Ash, I want you take this guy down."
"Misty you're not having a mood swing, are you?" Ash asked.
"No. I just can't stand that everybody does things for you and me because we're having babies." Misty said trying to clam down.
"Alright, it obvious that your wife really believes that you will beat me. I accept your challenge. We will battle with three Pokemon." Cless said.
They went to arena and Cless sent out the first Pokemon. "Go, Sorlock!" It was a blue human shape Pokemon wearing a red robe and pointy hat. You couldn't see its feet and the only part of its face you could see is its eyes. Between its hands a crystal ball was floating in the air.
Sorlock the Magical Pokemon. Types Light/ Psychic. This Pokemon has the power to see into the future, but its predictions are not always accurate.
"Go, Treecko!" Ash said.
"Sorlock, use Crystal Ball."
The crystal ball began to glow.
"Treecko, Solarbeam!"
Treecko charged the attack and fired but it missed.
"The Crystal Ball move looks into the future so the user can dodge an attack. Sorlock, Sparkle attack!" It was a basic light attack. "Now, another Crystal Ball!"
"Treecko, use Quick Attack." Then Ash winked.
Instead of using a Quick Attack Treecko used a Leaf Blade instead and K.O'd Sorlock.
"Our plan must have worked." Ash said.
"Nice, try this. Go, Phantome!" It looked like a brown robe floating in the air. You could see yellow eyes through the hood and it was carrying a candle.
Phantome the Library Pokemon. Types Light\Ghost. Phantome spends all its time in ancient libraries. It is always reading what they used to call books by candle light.
"Phantome use Will O' Wisp!" Treecko was down with that attack.
"Go, Trochic! Use Flamethrower!"
"Glitter Guard!" It was a defensive move. Only physical attacks could harm Phantome now.
"Peck attack!"
"Perish Song!"
After that Phantome kept dodging until Perish songs affect took them both.
"Alright Ash, were down to our last Pokemon but the Pokemon I have in mind isn't with me right now oh never mind here she comes." Cless said.
In came a Togetic and a male Togepi. "Sorry Cless, but Marco needed to finish his nap." The Togetic said.
"It's time Togetic." Cless said.
Togetic turn to the Togepi named Marco. "Sweetheart we knew that this would happen. Remember what we talked about?"
"Yes Mama." Marco said. "No matter what you look like you will always love me."
Togetic walked up to Cless and he took out a star shaped stone and touched Togetic with it. She started to glow, she was evolving. When it was over she was more human like. She had wings going out of her back and wore a white tunic with the typical pattern of the Togepi family on it.
Togel the Angel Pokemon. The evolved form of Togetic after bring exposed to Star Stone. Type Light\Flying. This Pokemon protects all those who spread happiness.
"I'll go with Pikachu." Ash said.
"You can beat him daddy." Togepi said.
"No my Mama's going to win and how can he be your dad?" Marco asked.
"I'm adopted and he will to."
"Will not."
"Will to."
"Will not."
"Will to!"
"Will not!"
"Stop it, both of you." Misty said.
"Sorry." They both said.
"Okay, Togel use Light Ray." Cless said.
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash said.
"Thunderbolt Strike!" Pikachu said.
"Star Storm attack!"
"Pikachu use Thunder!"
"Thunder Crash!" Pikachu said.
The battle was over.
"Mama, are you okay?" Marco asked.
"I'm alright just very tired." Togel said.
"Ash I'm glad to give you this Bright Badge." Cless said. It looked like a white lighthouse with yellow beams coming out of it. "And you qualify for the Prime Cup."
Ash was very pleased until he suddenly felt wet. "Misty I think my water just broke."
"I think mine just did to." Misty said.
"I'll call the hospital and get you doctors there. I'll take you there myself." Cless said.
Two hours later they were at the hospital. Pikachu and Togepi were waiting worriedly while Ash and Misty were getting ready to deliver.
"Now, Misty you and Ash have missed to window where we can use painkillers." Bonnie said.
"Then open it!" Misty said.
"We can't its closed." Clyde said.
"Break it open!" Ash said.
"Sorry." Bonnie said.
Half an hour later Ash and Misty were pushing while holding hands.
"AAAAHHHH! Well at least we're going though this together. Right Assssssh?" She said finishing with a little pain.
"Misty, please not now. ARRRRRGGGGGH!"
"Now just one more push from you both and we'll just have to deal with the afterbirth." Clyde said.
"Afterbirth!" They both said.
After that last push they both heard crying.
"Here Misty this is your daughter." Bonnie said.
"And this is your son Ash." Clyde said.
They handed them the babies.
"Hey there little guy." Ash said as he held their son.
"Precious. Just Precious." Misty said holding their daughter.
"We need to update the files. What are their names?" Clyde asked.
"Her name is Surfy Delia Ketchum. Her middle name was my moms' name." Ash said.
"And his name is Pike Joseph Ketchum. His middle name belonged to my grandfather."
Just then Pikachu and Togepi came in.
"Togepi this is your little brother and sister. Pike and Surfy." Misty said.
"Hi, I'm your big sister." Togepi said to the now sleeping babies."
"Ash you and Misty are blessed indeed." Pikachu said.
