HotXbun: I'm sorry it's been over a month since I last updated.
Time to meet Ash's father.
You read correctly. Ash's father with be shown in this chapter.
Pokéfan: Oh Pokéfan. There will be a lot more chapters.
ILoveEveything6: You'll meet them later.
Bluechan23: Most of the 'everybody' Ash was referring to are OCs.
Nunu: Thank you so much.
ChobloShoka: You did!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon, but I do own Ashton and Sophia, my OCs introduced in this chapter.
Chapter 2 To See or Not to See [Follow Your Heart Extra: I took the line from Hamlet and changed 'be' to 'see'.]
Ashton's POV [Follow Your Heart Extra: This is the first time the story's in Ashton's POV. He is the counterpart to Angie.]
I was jogging with my friend Sophia, who I called Sophie [Follow Your Heart Extra: Sophie is the counterpart to Pablo.]
I have ear length, beach blonde hair with layered bangs that covered my eyes; pale skin and amber eyes. Though my hair was dyed and I was wearing contacts.
I was wearing a white vest; dark grey sweats and white trainers.
Sophie had light brown, short hair cut into a bob; lilac eyes and pale skin.
She was wearing a purple, racer back vest; black jogging pants and white trainers.
My Houndoom was running by my side and Sophie's Meditite was floating by her side.
"Their flight should be taking off soon", I stated referring to my wife and son. "They will be here later today." [Follow Your Heart Extra: It was originally going to be the next day.]
"Are you going to see them", Sophie asked.
"I don't know", I replied. "Won't Delia recognise me?"
"You've changed your appearance and name", Sophie reminded me. "She shouldn't be able to recognise you."
"I just feel like I'll be putting my family in danger if I go back", I revealed. "It's why I left in the first place."
"Look's like we'll have to talk about this later Ashton", Sophie stated. "I have to get ready for a meeting with Will."
Will was the principal of the school both Sophie and I teach at. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Will is the counterpart to Antonio.]
"Okay then", I said. "See you later."
With that Sophie called a taxi and left with Meditite.
I saw that my shoelace was untied so kneeled down and started tying it.
But while I was doing so, someone tripped over me!
I looked to see who it was.
It was a woman who had long, platinum blonde, almost white hair tied into a ponytail; icy blue eyes and pale skin.
She was wearing an outfit just like Sophie's, but her vest was white. [Follow Your Heart Extra: This woman is the counterpart to Mati.]
She was holding an ice blue lead with a Sneazel attached to it.
"Are you okay", I asked before helping her up. "You know, you should really watch where you're going."
"Well I wouldn't have to watch where I'm going if you hadn't been kneeling down in the middle of the path", the girl harshly remarked.
"I was tying my shoelace", I revealed.
"Well next time you want to tie your shoelace go to the side", the woman commanded. "Don't stand in the middle like a crazy person!"
With that the woman left.
"Yeash", I said to myself. "Sorry."
HotXbun: Well that girl wasn't very nice. And sadly, we'll be seeing more of her later.
You probably want to know more about Ashton and his past. Don't worry. We'll learn very soon.
Challenge: Tell me why you think Ashton left.
My Answer: To long to tell you now.
Hopefully you won't have to wait as long for me to update.
