The rain seemed to be stopping after slowing down and there were morning birds heard chirping.
"Have we really been traveling all night?" Jenny asked in surprise.
"Sounds like it." Estelle said.
"This is getting us nowhere..." Eloise sighed before sitting on the end of the bridge. "I give up, we'll never find them."
"Eloise?" Weenie's voice yawned.
"Weenie?" Eloise looked around.
Weenie came over to the blonde girl with a smile.
"WEENIE!" Eloise squealed and hugged her dog. "Oh, Weenie..."
"The others are in the baby basket under the bridge." Weenie said.
"Come on, guys." Eloise said to the others as she held Weenie close in her arms.
The others nodded and followed the pug dog down as they came to the basket. And where they soon heard someone singing. Weenie sniffed the basket while the kids and Ponyta looked around for the source of the singing and saw an adult orange male cat coming into the scene. They soon saw Duchess coming out to see the source of the voice.
"I like a chee-chee-chee-chee-rony, Like they make at home, Or a healthy fish with a big backbone, I'm Abraham de Lacy Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley, O'Malley the alley cat!~" the cat sang to himself. 'I've got that wanderlust, Gotta walk the scene, Gotta kick up highway dust, Feel the grass that's green, Gotta strut them city streets, Showin' off my eclat, yeah!~" He soon saw Duchess standing next to a tree. "Tellin' my friends of the social elite, Or some cute cat I happen to meet, That I'm Abraham de Lacy Guiseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley, O'Malley the alley cat!~" he then finished his song with a charming smirk to the white cat.
"Why, monsieur, your name seems to cover all of Europe." Duchess replied.
'And he seems to be charming her.' Akito thought to himself.
Thomas smiled to Duchess. The kittens were waking up from the basket as Thomas seemed to be wooing Duchess.
'That cat looks like he could be the cat I'm looking for.' Oliver thought to himself.
"Oh, boy, an alley cat!" Toulouse cheered.
"Shh! Listen!" Marie shushed him with her paw.
Oliver soon got out of the basket and started to make his way over to the alley cat.
"Oliver, get back here!" Marie cried out.
Oliver followed Thomas's singing as Duchess smiled to him.
"What is he doing?" Larvitar asked.
The others weren't sure, but they kept watching. Thomas's eyes widened and he looked down to see Oliver nuzzling against him with a small and gentle purr.
"By any chance, are you really Thomas O'Malley?" Oliver smiled up at the male cat.
"Uh, yes, that would be me," Thomas replied, not recognizing the boy kitten at first. "What do they call you?"
"I am now known as Oliver Foxworth." Oliver replied as the golden tag on his collar shined in the sun.
"Wow, that's quite a collar you got there-" Thomas said before he remembered that name. "Wait, did you say your name was Oliver?"
"That would be me," Oliver replied. "I dunno why, I just loved that name, Jenny gave it to me after she adopted me."
Thomas soon saw a resemblance in him in this kitten. Oliver smiled.
"You remind me of someone..." Thomas put his paw around the kitten. "Me when I was that age!" he then chuckled.
Oliver laughed with him, but shrugged, not exactly getting what was so funny. 'I have to know if he remembers being in New York City.' he then thought to himself.
Thomas continued to sing to Duchess which seemed to win her over and she even clapped in the end.
'But it looks like he's trying to win over Ms. Duchess.' Oliver thought to himself.
"Bravo! Very good. You are a great talent." Duchess clapped to Thomas.
"Oh, thank you," Thomas replied. "And what might your name be?"
"My name is Duchess." Duchess replied.
"Duchess, beautiful, love it," Thomas wooed. "And those eyes.. Ooh. Why your eyes are like sapphires, sparkling so bright, they make the morning radiant and light."
'Wow, he is quite the charmer.' Oliver thought to himself.
"How romantic~" Marie cooed.
"Sissy stuff!" Berlioz scoffed.
Duchess and Thomas seemed to be hitting it off nicely. Oliver seemed to smirk to them, he was curious about his birth mother, but he could see that Thomas seemed happier with Duchess. He just wondered if he would still love her since she had kittens.
The Pokemon decided to come out of the basket.
"You gonna be okay, Teddy?" Mismagius asked.
"I still miss my mama, but thank you for last night." Teddy calmed down.
"I don't think we'll need to look far for our parents/trainers." Larvitar said.
"Mama!" Teddy beamed once he saw Estelle and ran toward her.
"Oh, Teddy!" Estelle smiled as she hugged Teddy once he hugged her.
"Mama..." Teddy nuzzled against to Estelle.
"Come here, sweetie..." Estelle hugged him.
"When did you all get here?" Scruffy smiled up at the kids.
"We've been travelling all night," Akito said as he hugged him and Larvitar in happy reunion. "You guys really scared us."
"You were right by the way, Edgar is no good." Larvitar said as he latched onto Akito's head.
"I knew it." Akito said.
Scruffy nuzzled up against Akito before licking his face. Akito chuckled and then picked up Scruffy and walked with them after everyone else reunited with their Pokemon and/or pets.
'He looks so much like you, Oliver." Jenny smiled.
"I know, right?" Oliver smiled back up to her.
"Maybe he's your father." Snow White smiled at Oliver.
Thomas seemed to hear those words.
"That's what Tito said." Oliver whispered as he remembered talking with the chihuahua back home before they came all the way over here.
"What did you say?" Thomas asked the two kittens, wanting to know if he wasn't hearing what he thought he was hearing.
"Oh, um, Oliver misses his father." Snow White replied.
"What do you remember about your father?" Thomas asked the orange kitten.
"Not too much..." Oliver shrugged. "I remember seeing him after my brothers and sisters finally opened our eyes, but the next thing I know, some human put us in a box and decided to put us all up for adoption."
Thomas began to remember the day when he and his last mate had kittens in New York City.
Flashback
There was a black and white adult female cat. Thomas did whatever he could and then came to his mate as they were in a pizza shop together that was now closed and they were left alone in the dark in the storage closet. Thomas soon heard his mate yowl out of pain.
"Are you okay, dear?" he then asked worriedly.
"Thomas... It's time..." the black and white female cat bit her lip.
"What, are you sure?" Thomas asked.
"I've never been more sure about anything else in my life!" the black and white adult cat replied.
Thomas helped his mate through labor and later on, it was around 6:00 in the morning and the pizza shop owner was opening up the place and he heard a noise in his storage closet. He then growled as he thought maybe thieves had come in, he grabbed a mop and opened the closet, only to find the black and white female cat smiling down to her black and white kittens and one orange and Thomas smiled as well.
"How did all of you get in here?" The owner asked.
The cats looked slightly nervous, mostly Thomas though since his mate was feeding their babies.
"Out, all of you, out!" The owner said as he got the kittens and the mother in the box.
Thomas ran far in a panic.
"Thomas!" the black and white adult female cried, but winced when she tried to get up and go after him, she had just given birth after all.
"Now, you and your kittens are going to be someone else's problem." The owner said before placing the box in front of a store.
Thomas ran into a back corner and poked his head out over to his mate.
"Oh, my..." the black and white female cat pouted as they were thrown out like trash.
"Dear, are and the kittens alright?" Thomas asked.
The black and white female counted and checked out their kittens, then smiled wearily in relief. "Thank goodness, they're all okay now."
The kittens were drinking their mother's milk.
"Thank goodness that you and the kittens are okay," Thomas sighed out of relief before getting slapped by his mate. "Ow! Hey, what did I do?" he then glared slightly from the sudden slap.
"You didn't try to attack the man from taking me and the kittens and putting us into this box and then throwing us out like trash!" The female black and white cat glared.
"Oh..." Thomas replied. "Sorry, babe..."
"I thought you loved me!" the black and white female cat glared with tears in her eyes. "Just get out of here! The kittens will open their eyes in a few weeks and I don't want them to see you!"
"Don't you think you're overreacting?" Thomas winced.
"I said get out!" The black and white cat glared.
Thomas blinked, he then backed up. "If that's what you want-"
"Yes, it is..." the female cat hissed.
Thomas frowned, he then left down the streets, he glared back at her, but looked away as he looked like he was going to cry. "I thought she was the one..." he whispered to himself before he was going to start a whole new life for himself.
End of Flashback
We are soon shown back to where he is now. Thomas closed his eyes and then shook his head.
"Are you all right, Monsieur O'Malley?" Duchess asked the adult male orange cat. "You got awfully quiet all of the sudden."
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." Thomas said.
Oliver looked curious, but kept it to himself.
'This became slightly awkward.' Akito thought to himself.
"Now, uh, what's the hang-up, your ladyship?" Thomas asked Duchess why she was out here.
"Well, it is most important that I get back to Paris," Duchess replied. "So if you would be just so kind and show me the way."
"Show you the way? Perish the thought!" Thomas answered. "We shall fly to Paris on a magic carpet, side by side, with the stars as our guide, just we two."
'Oh, he's going to surprised.' Akito thought to himself.
Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz came out of the basket and came to meet Thomas and he was shocked to find out that Duchess was actually a mother.
"Don't forget about us." Snow White smiled.
"Oh yes, Monsieur O'Malley," Duchess smiled. "These are my children. Along with some new friends of ours and even my long-lost sister, Maisy."
"Hello." Maisy greeted.
"Oh, how sweet." Thomas replied.
"Do you really have a magic carpet?" Berlioz asked.
"And are we really gonna ride it?" Marie added in excitement.
'Looks like he might have bit more than he can chew.' Estelle thought to herself.
Snow White and Oliver chuckled as Thomas now suddenly had his paws full.
"Will your magic carpet hold all of us?" Larvitar asked.
"Will it be like the time Maman and everyone else met Aladdin?" Felicity asked as she twirled her finger through one of her pigtails.
"Mama, do I have sparkling sapphire eyes that dazzle too?" Marie then asked.
Thomas stammered nervously as he felt lost on what to say or do next.
'Looks like my dad is getting nervous.' Oliver thought to himself.
"No poetry to cover this situation, Monsieur O'Malley?" Duchess asked as she smirked with her sister.
"What I had in mind was a kind of a sports model, baby," Thomas chuckled nervously. "You know, one of those-"
"A magic carpet built for two?" Maisy teased.
"Ooh." Snow White and Oliver smirked.
"I wouldn't take up much room." Marie told Thomas.
"We understand perfectly, Monsieur O'Malley," Duchess sighed to Thomas and decided they should find their own way home. "Well, come along, darlings."
The kittens then followed her, but Toulouse wanted to see Thomas up close.
"I'm a tough alley cat too!" Toulouse told Thomas before hissing.
"He sure is." Larvitar said.
"Hey there! You're comin' on," Thomas smiled to Toulouse. "I'll bet you're a real tiger in your neighborhood!"
"Yeah, that's cuz I practice all the time." Toulouse smiled back.
"Now, now, Toulouse, come along, dear." Duchess called to her orange son.
"You don't want to be left behind." Maisy said.
"Yes, Mama and Aunt Maisy." Toulouse replied as he caught up with them.
"See ya around, Tiger!" Thomas called to him with a smile.
Toulouse smiled back and kept hissing with every step he took with his friends and family to go back home.
