Chapter 4: Ash Is Starting To Slow Down!
After taking care of Team Rocket a month ago, they have a little problem that they have to deal with first.
Ash had just walked in the door from the last challenge of the day.
"So Ash, how was the matches today?" asked Ashley, getting dinner ready.
"Tough. I thought that I wouldn't make it through a couple of matches today." replied Ash, sitting down at the kitchen table.
"What do you mean, Ash?" asked Ashley, putting both of their plates on the table and sat down across from Ash.
"What I mean is that I thought that I was going to pass out during the last two matches." replied Ash as they were eating.
"Oh. Why didn't you just quit after the first match since you felt so bad?" asked Ashley as they were getting done with dinner.
"Because I didn't want people to think that something's wrong with me." replied Ash, getting up to help Ashley with the dishes.
"But there is something wrong with you. You're three months pregnant." said Ashley as they got with the dishes.
"Yeah, I know that, but I don't want people to know that I'm the one having the baby instead of you because I'm the Were-Pokemon." said Ash as they sat on the couch together.
"Well, you shouldn't be battling while you're pregnant anyway, Ash." said Ashley, making a point.
"If only there was a way that I could be in two places at once, then that would make me happy." said Ash, giving Ashley an idea.
"Ash, you've just given me an idea!" said Ashley as she got up and ran into their bedroom to get something.
"What are you talking about, Ashley?" asked Ash, getting up to see what Ashley was up to.
"I could go as you and battle for you while you stay here and relax." replied Ashley, dressed like him, but only thinner like he was before the baby.
"Yeah, but how are you gonna sound like me?" asked Ash, impressed that Ashley had fit just right into his clothes from before.
"Oh, I've been working on your voice for a while now: Well, what do you think, Ash?" asked Ashley as she did an exact impression of Ash's voice at the end.
"That's amazing, Ashley, but one more thing: How are you gonna take care of looking at me?" asked Ash, making a question of his own as he put Ashley in the mirror in the bathroom.
"Easy." replied Ashley, running into their bedroom with Ash following somewhat slowly.
"What are you taking about that's so easy?" asked Ash, standing with his arms crossed across his chest while he was looking at Ashley.
"This is what I'm talking about." replied Ashley, bringing a mask, which looked just like Ash, out from a drawer.
"Where did you get that?" asked Ash as she was trying ton the mask.
"I got this a couple of days ago when I was at the store." replied Ashley, talking like normal in the mask.
"This just might work, Ashley." said Ash as she took off the mask.
"Yeah, I thought so too. Do you want to go on to bed yet or do you want to stay up a little while longer?" asked Ashley, going into the bathroom to change into her pajamas.
"How about we go on ahead onto bed because tomorrow you have three matches tomorrow as me." replied Ash, changing in the bedroom.
"Ok." said Ashley, coming out of the bathroom and jumped onto the bed and pulled Ash onto his back from where he was sitting on the bed before he could out his t-shirt on.
"Ashley, what are you doing?" asked Ash, looking at her as he was on the bed and she was looking down at him.
"Maybe you should keep the shirt off since it's starting to get a little tight for you." replied Ashley, kissing Ash n the lips before she laid down with Ash right behind her.
(In The Morning)
Ash woke Ashley up after he looked at the clock on the nightstand by him.
"What is it, Ash?" asked Ashley, waking up.
"It's time to get up or you'll be late for your matches." said Ash, leaving the room to get breakfast ready as Ashley got out of bed.
A few minutes later, Ashley was dressed like Ash and she even wore the mask so that she could head out as fast as she could.
They ate their breakfast quietly and before long, Ashley had to leave to get to the stadium in time.
"Good luck, Ashley or should I say Ash." said Ash as she gave him a kiss goodbye.
"Thanks, Ash or should I say Ashley." said Ashley, leaving and Ash smiled at her sense of humor.
(An Hour Later)
Ashley had opened the door when Ash came to welcome her home, but she didn't seem herself.
"Ashley, is something wrong?" asked Ash, following Ashley to the bedroom.
"No, nothing's wrong, but I wanted you to be there to watch me because I won all of the matches!" said Ashley, hugging Ash.
"That's amazing, Ashley. Did anyone think that you weren't me?" asked Ash, looking at her.
"No, but I thought that Mom thought that I was me, but she didn't say anything as she kept on working in her garden." said Ashley, taking off into the bedroom to get dressed into her regular clothes.
"Did Steven come while I was gone?" asked Ashley through the closed door to the bedroom.
"No, not yet." replied Ash, waiting for Ashley to come out, but he didn't have to wait too long as Ashley came out in five minutes.
As soon as she had exited the room, the doorbell rang and Ash answered it this time.
"Hi, Steven, how are you?" asked Ash, letting Steven in.
"I'm fine. How are you doing with the baby?" asked Steven, setting up in their bedroom.
"Oh, busy as ever." replied Ash, laying down on the bed with his shirt up, showing his growing stomach.
Steven put the gel on Ash's stomach like always and then, he found the baby in an instant.
He froze the screen and then, he took off the wand and cleaned Ash's stomach so that he would be comfortable when he was talking about how the baby's doing.
"Well, Ash and Ashley, the baby's doing fine, but you'll have to take it easy from now on so no more battling while you're pregnant, ok?" asked Steven, looking at the picture of the baby.
"Ok." said Ash, putting a hand on his stomach.
Ashley was just about to fall asleep until Steven spoke to her.
"I'll see you in a month from now. Bye." said Steven as Ash let him out.
"Ok. Bye." said Ashley, trying to stay awake.
As soon as Ash had turned around, he found Ashley fast asleep on the bed, still in her regular clothes.
"I can't believe that she fell asleep so fast. I guess I forgot how tiring battling with an opponent can be let alone three opponents." thought Ash, laying down next to Ashley without taking his clothes either.
They stayed like that until morning, but they found a surprise when they woke up.
(In The Morning)
"Ashley, isn't this a Pichu egg?" asked Ash, picking up the egg.
"Yes, it is, but who could've out it here?" asked Ashley, looking at the egg.
Then, her Pikachu tugged on her pant leg and pointed to itself.
"Pikachu, did you lay this egg?" asked Ashley as she was handed the egg and both Pikachus shook their heads, but Ash's Pikachu looked a little embarrassed as it did that too.
"Pikachu, that's great!" said Ash, picking up his Pikachu.
After finding out that the baby's doing ok and finding a Pichu egg, Ash and Ashley will have a lot of planning for what happens next.
