"Of course Emi's just excited whenever she gets to see Akito again." Ash smirked playfully.

"Yeah." Pikachu added.

"Hmph." Emi pouted, though she did blush at the mention of Akito.

The Fudo family was soon called to be informed about this.

"Your uncle, huh?" Akito asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure you'll like him." Emi smiled as she didn't say who her uncle was just yet.

"I'm sure I'll like him too." Akito smiled back.

"Is your dad working?" Emi asked.

"He's got time off so we'll all be able to come over." Akito reassured, sounding excited about his father not having to work a lot this time.

"That's great." Emi smiled.

"Yeah, tell me about it," Akito smiled back. "I just love hanging out with Dad whenever I can."

"I can tell." Emi smiled back.

"I hope your uncle's cool." Akito said.

"Don't worry, Akito, I'm sure your dad and him will hit it off." Emi reassured.

"So, when does your uncle arrive?" Akito asked.

"Mom thinks either later today or early tomorrow, Dad sent him a letter a couple of days ago." Emi said.

"Great, I'll tell Mom and the others." Akito replied.

"Sounds good," Emi smiled. "Look forward to seeing you soon."

"See you then, Emi." Akito replied, though he didn't want to hang up.

Emi soon hung up.

"Aww..." Akito pouted, then hung up himself and dabbed his knuckles together.

"What's wrong?" Mo asked as she entered the room.

"Oh, Emi's fine, she just hung up." Akito replied.

"Aw, Akito..." Mo smiled playfully as she also playfully rolled her eyes. "You're gonna see her again later anyway."

"Yeah, like, possibly today?" Akito smiled.

"Well... All right, that should be fine," Mo smiled back. "I'll discuss it with your father. He has Jimmy covering for him for international travels."

"Wahoo!" Akito cheered.

"I'd love to meet you, Charlie, but I'm afraid I promised to spend time with my own family," Atticus replied. "How many kids did you say you had? ...Ten? You must be very busy... Why don't you spend time with them yourself and maybe we can meet in the future? ...Okay, sounds good. Thank you... Goodbye." he then hung up.

"New partner?" Mo asked her husband.

"Possibly," Atticus replied. "Ruthie told me about this amazing guy named Charlie Chan who has ten kids of his own, but they all solve mysteries together and travel around the world."

"Ten kids?" Mo's eyes widened.

"Yeah, I could only imagine the pain his wife and him had to go through." Atticus said.

"Well... He does sound interesting..." Mo replied. "Also, the kids are happy that you decided to take some time off to visit the Ketchums with them."

"Believe me, it wasn't easy, especially with Charlie Chan wanting to meet me." Atticus smiled.

"I have a feeling that this visit will be worth it." Mo said.

They both came out of Atticus's home office and came out to see their kids getting ready for a visit to Pallet Town.

"Oh, I'm so excited." Akito smiled.

"You're always excited to see Emi." Estelle smirked.

"It's not just about her, okay?" Akito pouted to his twin sister.

"Whatever you say, Bro." Estelle smirked as she rolled her eyes.

"Hmph..." Akito pouted before sticking his tongue out at her.

Estelle did the same, crossing her eyes at him as they packed their stuff for a little trip.

"This is going to be a great trip." Akito said.

"I wonder who Ash and Emi's uncle is?" Vincent wondered. "Did she say, Akito?"

"Emi just said it would be better if we saw for ourselves." Akito replied.

"Ooh." Estelle smiled.

"Yeah, I'm curious myself," Akito smiled back. "I wonder if he has any Pokemon?"

"I guess we'll just see when we get there." Vincent told his younger siblings.

After sometime, they were done packing.

"Yes, Ruthie, I'm taking time off to be with the family," Atticus said. "Be sure to tell Detective Chan I'll see him when I can... Okay, sounds good. Goodbye." He then hung up on his secretary.

"This is so exciting." Mo smiled.

"Tell me about it," Atticus smiled back. "I'm sure Ash and Emi's uncle is a great guy too, I mean, those kids are amazing themselves."

"They sure are." Akito blushed a little, though he was thinking obviously about Emi.

"Is everyone ready?" Mo asked.

"We're ready!" The Fudo family replied.

"All right," Mo smiled. "Let's hit the road then."

The Fudo family soon went off to Pallet Town.

The Ketchum family cleaned up as they were getting ready for their company.

"Any sign of your brother yet, dear?" Delia asked.

"Not yet... Maybe he'll come after the Fudos, that'd be a nice meeting." Satoshi smiled.

"How fast is he?" Ash asked. "And how is he able to fly?"

"Oh, Ash, my brother is amazing..." Satoshi said. "That is another interesting story like how Emi came into our family."

"So, if he's your brother then does that mean we have the same powers as him well before Akito increased my strength?" Ash asked his father.

"But of course," Satoshi smiled. "It's common in the family after all with where we came from before I had met your mother."

"Cool." Ash smiled back.

"Trust me, it'll be worth the wait." Satoshi reassured.

Eventually, there was a knock at the door, and Delia smiled as she opened it to see the Fudo family.

"Oh, visits from you guys feel like family friends coming over for the holidays." Delia beamed.

"It's always so great to visit here." Akito smiled.

Pikachu soon came to their feet.

"Hi, Pikachu." The Fudo siblings beamed.

"Your sister couldn't make it?" Delia asked.

"Cherry is a very good friend of mine, but no, she couldn't make it," Atticus replied. "She had to help Belle and Adam with something."

"We understand." Delia said.

"It's always nice to see you off work, Detective Fudo." Satoshi said.

"Yes, I love my job, but my family comes first when it can," Atticus smiled. He then soon sensed someone strong coming from the sky. "Are you expecting company?" he then asked like he didn't know.

"You mean our uncle?" Ash smiled. "Yeah, he should be here very soon."

"Well, I think I can sense his power level so that must mean that he is coming," Atticus said. "And he's not coming alone."

"Power Level?" Ash and Emi asked, feeling confused at first.

Atticus opened the door after there was a landing.

"Hey, guys, what's for-" Goku smiled before gasping. "Atticus?!"

"Goku?!" Atticus reacted the same way.

They didn't do anything else but they soon shared a brotherly hug with each other before breaking out. "What're you doing here?!" They then asked each other in unison.

'Wait for the surprising reveal.' Emi thought to herself.

"Emi called and invited Akito and all of us over to hang out together." Atticus replied.

"Well, I had some important things to take care of, but I managed to find time to visit my brother and his family." Goku then said.

'And there it is.' Emi thought to herself.

"Your brother?" Atticus asked. "Is he coming?"

"He's right here." Goku said.

Atticus soon looked to Satoshi and his eyes widened before he looked between the two men and he felt like his mind was blown.

"This is our uncle, Detective Fudo." Ash said.

"Whoa... How didn't I see the resemblance before?" Atticus asked himself.

"This is quite a surprise." Akito said.

"I can't believe I did it see it before," Atticus said. "Oh, Ash, you look so much like Goku."

"That means I'm gonna grow up awesome, huh?" Ash chuckled.

"That's right." Atticus said.

"Heh, thanks." Ash smirked.

"No problem." Atticus rolled his eyes playfully, but smirked back.

"Uh, anyway, as I was saying, what's for lunch?" Goku asked.

"Burgers and hot dogs," Delia smiled. "Since it's such a nice day outside today, we're going to have a barbecue."

"My favorite." Goku smiled back.

"I knew you'd love it, Goku." Delia smiled.

"You're the greatest, Del," Goku beamed to his sister-in-law. "Oh, and I hope you don't mind if I included Chi-Chi, Gohan, and Goten and Videl."

"Chi-Chi's here?!" Atticus beamed. "Oh, I love her, she was like another mother to me!"

"Yeah, she missed seeing you a lot too, buddy." Goku smiled to him.

"I'm sure we have enough food for one more family." Delia smiled.

"You're the best, Del." Goku beamed.

"You always say that." Delia giggled.
