Against All Odds

"... Misha, what do you mean 'a mistake'?" Meowth asked.
"These kittens weren't supposed to be here." Misha said.
"Whatcha talkin' 'bout?" Miles asked.
"Is this some kinda joke?" Macy asked.
"How come you didn't tell us before?" Marshall asked.

"It wasn't a big misunderstanding. This is true. But it can't be right. But it's not what you think-" Misha started.

"It's not what we think? Four months ago, I thought that you were ready and prepared for all this, and now you brought this up? I really can't believe this is happening." Macy said.

"It's not like I really didn't want the kittens. It's just that-"
"Who forced you?" Marshall asked.
"... What?" Misha asked.
"Who forced you to have those kittens?" Marshall repeated.

"Listen, guys. It's not really that I didn't expect to have them or I was raped or something. You see... it's about dad..." Misha began.

"Oh, Misha. How come you wanna bring dad up t' this?" Miles asked.
"Because it's important." Misha said.
"How? Did he hurt you?" Meowth asked.
"Oh, no no. You see, he was the reason why you ran away."
"Huh? What? Why?" Meowth gasped.

"... I never told you any of this but, mom told me that dad wasn't really happy having kittens. So, he told me to take you to a far place away from home and leave you there. But since that crowd came, I never expected that to happen. Now since I told him that I had kittens, he was furious! By then, I've been telling him that they were a mistake, but he never believed me." Misha said.

"... Are they really a mistake?" Jessie asked.
"That's what I want him to think. To tell you the truth, they really are." Misha said.
"... But in your point of view, right?" James asked.
"Well you could say that." Misha said.
"Where is he now?" Meowth asked.
"I don't know. Since I told him about this, he hasn't been back home." Misha said.

"How did mom react?" Macy asked.

"She wanted to help me. She was scared to say that Meowth was her rightful son."
"... So dat's why mudder said that I was dead!" Meowth exclaimed.
"Probably so." Marshall said.

"Dad probably had sorta brainwashed her into thinkin' that Meowth wasn't related!" Miles exclaimed.

"... Brainwashed? Get real, Miles!" Macy exclaimed.
"I heard that dad now belonged to someplace now. I forgot what the organization was, but I know it wasn't quite surprising." Marshall said.

"All I know about dad was that he never came back." Macy said.
"Organization, huh? Tell me, was your father a Meowth?" Jessie asked.

"No, not really. He's a Persian. And he's meaner than twelve Arboks put together." Misha said.

"... You don't think...?" James asked Jessie."Think what?" Marshall asked.
"... Meowth. You remember the Boss's Persian?" Jessie asked.
"Yeah, so?" he asked.
"Do you know him? Like in the past?" Jessie asked again.
"... Well, no, I don't tink."
"... Then there might be one possibility." James said.
"What? What is it?" Misha asked.

"Meowth... the Boss's Persian my be your father." Jessie said.
