FYI – This chapter breaks the 4th Wall. Just a heads up! Also the reporters are your typical run-of-the mill reporters FYI.
The last thing Misty remembered was that she was about to battle these new Team Rocket members. Now as she opens her eyes, it becomes clear that she, Delia, and Psyduck even, were tied up. She noticed flashing lights of police cars.
'What's going on?' she thought.
However she could hear the TV as they left it on and were only a few feet from it in the dining room.
"We now bring you updates on the hostage crisis that began 2 hours ago," the reporter said, "Captives are being identified as Misty from Cerulean and Delia of Pallet. Team Rocket has supposedly kidnapped them for the children of Ash Ketchum. We go live to the scene as Bill fills us in on the scene unfolding. Bill?"
"Yes Janet the two have been identified and we are still wondering what Team Rocket members would pull off such a heist. Now, we are wondering just exactly why Team Rocket is taking such a bold step…"
He was cut off by the turning on of spotlights and the motto began as usual. Except Jack and Renge with their Meowth were joined by Jessie and James, which, to everyone's displeasure, meant a longer motto.
"I still don't get why they want my grandchildren!" Delia said in rage aloud. They could talk, as the police obviously distracted Team Rocket long enough for them to forget gags.
"For experiments maybe? Team Rocket has been known to roll in that direction," Misty said.
Delia sighed, "I don't know anymore. I want to get even more rural than Pallet sometimes. Away from the cities, the lies, the crime, and the corruption!"
She even started to tear up a little. It broke Misty's heart.
"C'mon now Delia, cheer up," Misty said to the women beside her, "Ash still has a chance! Gary too!"
"Yes, but in their condition? Are you taking drugs?!"
'Geez, I was just trying to make you feel better,' she thought, 'I hope Ash stays away, if not, at least he can maybe try to stop this.'
Meanwhile, outside the scene was starting to get tense… (4th Wall breaking begins)
Jessie, James, and Jack were all locked intensely in battle. On the sidelines, Renge and the Meowth's were talking.
"I like how this story is progressing don't you think?" Meowth said.
"You know Roberto, I think it is," Meowth said.
"Roberto?" Renge asked confused.
"Yeah, the author thought of it on the fly," he said shrugging.
"Anyways what happened to the twerp who's pregnant?" Meowth said curiously.
"I think the author is going to cut to it now," Renge said.
Roughly about 4 hours ago…
Ash had walked over to Gary's house and knocked on the door. Gary greeted him in a purple shirt and black sweats. They went over to the couch and started talking.
"So how's your pregnancy going?" Ash asked. He noticed Gary's stomach was even bigger than it was two months ago.
"Good," Gary said, "Carrying triplets is no easy task Ashy-Boy."
"Triplets!?" Ash said shocked, "And I thought twins were going to be bad."
Gary chuckled at this, "It's alright to be shocked. I can't believe I'm having this many either."
"So who's the lucky guy or gal?" Ash asked, "I don't want to be nosy but I'm just curious."
"Well it was a one night thing in the Hoenn region," Gary said, "I met him at a party going on there. His name was... Brendan? Anyways one thing lead to another and I'm assuming we didn't use protection."
"Well now you have three little miracles," Ash said.
Gary smiled at the compliment, "I guess so. I'll be able to meet them soon."
"When are you due? You're pretty big."
"In three weeks,"
"Genders?"
"All boys,"
This response gave Ash some confusion, "All boys?"
"Yes all boys," Gary said, "I read up on it, since guys have the pair XY chromosomes it makes a girl (XX) rarer. Because we're both males it has a pretty big factor I think."
"Amazing,"
So the conversation went on like this for a while. Ash and Gary even caught up and talked about old times. They had the TV on a music station the whole time, Café MooMoo (coffeehouse music). Gary then switched it to the news because he was curious about what was happening with all the police cars coming by. It was now 10:30 and they were shocked to see the Hostage Crisis going on and the (impressive) battle.
"What-?" Ash said confused.
"Ash," Gary said in a serious tone, "Go home. Protect your family."
Ash seemed to get the message and headed out the door as fast as he could in his state.
Presently, at the Ketchum Residence…
The battle between the police and Rockets had escalated to its climax. James and Renge had to swap as James' pokémon fainted. With a final blow from the battling trio, the police were out of pokémon.
"Ha! Looks like Team Rocket has this one in the bag!" Jack said confidently aloud.
"Not quite," said a voice from the crowd.
Everyone turned to the spot where the voice came from and it was Ash! Along with Pikachu.
"Can this be?" Bill said, "Ash the one Team Rocket wants?"
"It's about time the twerp showed up," Jessie said.
"Now give us your- Renge!" Jack said, "What the hell are you doing?!"
Renge was swooning up to him and taking pictures.
"What!?" she said, "Where else are you going to find mpreg huh? I need evidence to show them at Ouran I'm not crazy!"
"Yeah, yeah whatever now-"
He was cut off by Pikachu's thunderbolt as they blasted off into the night sky.
"What is this?" The Rocket trio clad in black asked.
"Just our usual failed mission blast off," The Rocket trio in white replied.
Then in unison, "Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!"
They were then out of sight as a slight little star shone were they blasted off to.
The crowd on the scene erupted with joy. Reporters tried to crowd Ash but the police formed a line and blocked them.
"Hurry up!" Jenny said to Ash, "We can't hold them much longer!"
Ash nodded and he and Pikachu went inside. They found Delia and Misty and set them free along with Psyduck.
"Oh thank you Ash!" Misty said as she gave him a huge kiss.
"Thank you so much dear, I was worried sick!" his mom said giving him a huge hug.
"You're welcome guys," Ash said, "Don't forget to thank Pikachu too."
"Thank you Pikachu!" the two women gave the pokémon a hug in unison.
"Pikapi," the pokémon said blushing.
They all then broke off and went to bed, after a VERY long day.
