Another update! I didn't leave you guys, just had writer's block. Let's resume shall we?
Three weeks have passed and November rolled in bringing slightly colder weather and more leaves falling off of the trees. Currently, Gary Oak had just finished breakfast and was sitting on his couch, wearing a dark long sleeved tee under a red shirt that had a "loading" bar on it, red sweatpants, and socks.
"Come on guys stop," he said tiredly to his swollen gut. His triplets have been very active since last night.
Gary then decided to freshen up, but as he did he felt a pain in his gut.
'Could this be a contraction?' Gary thought.
He was reassured by this thought when another one hit 20 minutes later right before he was going to get a change of clothes then shower.
'That's it,' he said to himself, 'I'm calling Ash.'
Over with the Ketchum's,
Ash had just gotten out of the shower and put on a green t-shirt under a white and blue stripped hoodie, blue jeans, and his shoes when the phone rang. It was Gary.
"Ash… Come quick…," Gary said panting.
"Are you ok?" Ash asked.
"No… in labor… contractions," Gary said letting a yell in pain out on the phone, "Hurry…"
Ash hung up, got Pikachu, and ran outside to get his mom and Misty.
Misty was outside finishing up raking some of the leaves that had fallen down in a cream jacket with a green long-sleeve tee underneath with jeans and red converse.
'I still don't know why we have the police protecting us,' she thought, 'We have to be safe by now,'
It was true; there was a lot more police presence in Pallet as of late. Most notably, have to be Captains Maria and Julio along with Lieutenants Roberto and Bella. They were the best on the force and boosted the safety rating of Pallet in the past weeks.
Suddenly, her train of thought was interrupted by Ash power walking out to her.
"Ash!" she yelled, "You're six months pregnant you shouldn't be walking so fast!"
"Sorry, but Gary's in labor! Get the car!" he said.
As if on cue, she ran and got her blue Ford Escape, picked him and Pikachu up, then sped over to Gary's house.
Over at Gary's,
They got Gary and his "overnight" bag ready and were in the car when they saw Lieutenants Roberto and Bella running over to them.
"You guys need an escort to the hospital?" Bella said, "The traffic is heavy to Viridian right now."
"Yes, that would be nice, thank you," Misty said to Bella.
"Units 125, 135, and 140 when you see a blue Escape heading out of Pallet to Viridian, give it an escort to the hospital," Roberto said into his walkie-talkie.
"Rodger that," the units replied.
As the car went out of sight, Lieutenants Roberto and Bella pulled off their uniforms to reveal black Team Rocket uniforms. They were really Jack and Renge.
"Ready to steal some pokes?" Jack asked his partner.
"More than ready," Renge said.
Two hours later, in Viridian…
"One last push Mr. Oak," Doctor Hartland said. She was dressed in actual doctor's scrubs helping deliver Gary's babies.
"ARGH!" Gary said as he pushed.
Once more, tiny cries filled the room as Hannah cut the umbilical cord on the last of Gary's children and cleaned him up.
"Thanks Misty," the tired boy said to his companion.
"You're welcome Gary, I was glad to be your coach/hand to hold," she said, "Next time please don't squeeze my hand so hard."
Oak, Tracey, Ash, and Delia all got to see Gary's triplets after the birth. The reason Misty got in is because she was the best suited to aid Gary.
"So cute!"
"I never thought I'd be a great-grandpa…"
Gary smiled and said, "Thanks guys,"
"What are you going to name them?" Tracey said.
"I had got to thinking and I'm going to name them Brendan, Austin, and Devin," Gary said.
Doctor Hartland then added, "Done! I had the paperwork right here and I was about to ask but you just said it."
They were about to make more comments about the babies when Officer Jenny (of the Viridian/Pallet area) came in and said, "Professor Oaks' and Gary Oaks' pokémon have been stolen!"
"WHAT?" they all said in unison in a low tone not to disturb the babies.
"How did that happen?" Misty said shocked, "You guys were watching the town right? Could someone have seen it?"
Officer Jenny shook her head in shame, "Most of us were watching the festival in town here leaving Pallet sparse. The front units gave you an escort and when they got back they received the report of theft. The units on the other side of town saw nothing. We haven't heard from our Captains or Lieutenants there in hours."
Those in the room had puzzling looks on their faces. Oak chimed in with, "But the Captains and Lieutenants were very friendly and good at their jobs! I wonder what could've happened."
Before anyone could speak again, a dark figure rushed by the room and dropped a portable DVD player. Officer Jenny picked it up and played it since it had a note on it. They all were sickened to see the Captains and Lieutenants in front of a horde of poke balls.
The first thing they did was remove their police clothing to be none other than Jessie, James, Jack, and Renge!
"Well I bet you all were not expecting this turn of events now were you?" Jessie said.
"Once again Team Rocket is back on top!" James added.
"Now if you ever want to see these precious pokémon again," Renge started.
"Then you need to hand over 1 million poke dollars to the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town," Jack said, "See you there…"
The screen went black.
No one could speak. They didn't even notice that someone new entered the room.
Gary was the first to react.
"Brendan?"
