And here is chapter three! As you know, Ash and the girls have gone to Unova, to have a new start. They have met with Professor Juniper and told her the situation. After some *cough* course *cough* language from the older woman, she told them she'll keep their location a secret and suddenly had an idea. What will it be? Read to find out! (LOL! I love writing that last bit!)

On with the next chapter!

The professors face suddenly lit up. "I've just had an idea!"

Ash and the others looked at her expectantly, so she told them her idea. "Since you have no where to go, how about me and my wife adopt you and Dawn? May and Serena can stay as long as they like as well of course. And there will be no arguments about it, me and my wife, Professor Fennel, will adopt you both and you can stay here. Agreed?"

Ash and the girls looked at each other, having a silent conversation. After several seconds, Dawn answered with "Sure professor, that sounds amazing! We'd be glad to take you up on your offer!"

Aurea beamed and clapped her hands together. "Wonderful! I'll just give her a call and we'll make the arrangements. Go through that door and you'll find yourselves in the living room. Make yourselves at home" She then left through the door in the back.

Ash and the girls went through the door the professor told them to go through, and sure enough, they were in the living room. It was quite spacious, there was a 46" plasma T.V., a four person sofa with two arm chairs on either side, a navy blue rug with a coffee table on it and there was also a dining table with six chairs, two on each side and one on each end.

The group went and sat on the sofa. Ash turned on the television and turned on the Pokemon World News. They saw that it was still talking about Ash and the girls disappearance, much to their dislike.

"We now go live to Pallet Town in the Kanto region where our correspondent, Lucy Flowerfield, is talking with the relatives. Lucy?"

The screen then changed to show a blond haired woman with a microphone standing outside Ash's old house with his 'mother' by her. "Thanks Billy. I'm joined by the mother of one of the runaways, Delia Ketchum, who pleades that her son, Ash Ketchum, returns home so they can sort this whole mess out" She then turns to Delia and asks her "Mrs. Ketchum, why would you want your son Ash, who is an accomplished pokemon trainer, to stop going on his journey? Even though he has been in danger several times, why do you think he should stop travelling when he has accomplished so much?" She then put the mic in front of Delia, who was starting to tear up.

"I was just worried about him. He's my only son, who I absolutely adore with all my heart. Yes, he has gotten into danger several times and stopped the plans of the notorious Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Galactic, Team Plasma and Team Flare accordingly, but he nearly died on several occasions. I just want him to come home and find another dream. One that's achievable and not so hard. I just want him to be safe here at home. He's my baby, I just...want him...h-home" She broke down into a crying fit.

Lucy took back the mic and said "Well there you have it. Mrs. Ketchum just wants to keep her son safe from harm. The location of Ash and the three girls, Dawn Berlits, his cousin, May Maple, his girlfriend, and Serena Williams (I don't know her last name), his childhood friend, is unknown. All we know is that they were last seen in Hoenn by Norman and Caroline Maple, May's parents, and now could be anywhere in the world. I'm Lucy Flowerfield, reporting live in Pallet Town, Kanto for Pokemon World News. Back to you Billy"

May and Ash were blushing while Dawn and Serena were snickering behind their hands. Pikachu was trying, and failing, to hold in his laughter. "M-me and Ash a-are n-not d-dating! I'll kill the one who told them we are!"

"It was probably Max, May. After all, he was the one who figured out your little cruMMPH!" May covered Dawn's mouth with her hands before she could finish that sentence.

May hissed at her. "Dawn! Ash is going through some things right now. I don't want him to know just yet. I'm waiting until the time is right and he is ready. Understood?"

Dawn got a look of understanding in her eyes and nodded, showing she understood.

Smiling, May removed her hands then looked at Ash and saw he was in deep thought. As she was about to ask him what was wrong, Professor Juniper walked in.

"Ah! I see you've made yourselves comfortable. That's good. I've spoken with my wife, and she is looking forward to us adopting you two. She also agreed that Serena and May could stay as long as they could as well. The adoption papers will be here tomorrow so I will show you to your rooms in a little bit. But first, Ash and Dawn, can you give me your Pokedex's please?"

They handed her their Pokedex's and she took them to the next room. She came back about five minutes later and handed them back. "I made some adjustments to your ID on them. So go ahead and check them out!"

Ash and Dawn opened their Pokedex's and brought up their information.

For Ash:

Ashton Satoshi Juniper-Fennel

Age: 18

Pokemon Seen: 721

Pokemon Caught: 125

For Dawn:

Dawn Juniper-Fennel

Age: 15

Pokemon Seen: 228

Pokemon Caught: 28 (I don't know how many they have actually seen and caught)

Dawn and Ash didn't know what to say! Here was their new names with how many pokemon they have seen and caught. They looked at their new 'mother' and thanked her.

"Thanks professor. I don't know w-what to say" Dawn tried to keep her voice level, but it ended up cracking at the end. Ash didn't say anything, he just went back into his thoughts over what they heard over the news today and yesterday.

"Don't mention it Dawn dear. And please, call me mom, and call my wife ma, she won't mind. She'll love it, I'm sure"

Dawn blushed and stuttered "T-thank you, m-mom. For e-everything!" She was close to tears. She was so happy, she was starting a new life with her new adoptive mothers, she now had Ash as her older brother and will, possibly, be getting May as her sister in law soon. She couldn't be happier.

Aurea looked at Ash and saw his thoughtful expression. "Ash dear? Are you alright?"

Ash snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Aurea. He then noticed all the girls, his new mom and even Pikachu, were staring at him in concern. "I'm fine mom. Just feeling really tired after what's happened the past couple days. Is it alright if we go to bed now? I really need my rest"

The professor nodded and lead Ash and Dawn to their permanent rooms, and May and Serena to their guest rooms.

After bidding them goodnight, Ash went in his room and unpacked all his stuff, but left his pokeballs in his bag. He got out his pyjama's and went to the bathroom connected to his room to get a quick shower before bed.

A few hours after Ash goes to sleep

Ash woke up in a cold sweat. I had that dream again. Why? Why have I had the same dream two nights in a row? Does it mean May and the others will also betray me? I hope not. They're all I have left in this world. Dear Arceus, please let this stupid nightmare end!

He had another wash before heading back to bed and going back to sleep, with some difficulty.

A few hours later

Ash was sleeping soundly but was disturbed by a small noise.

Tap.

He just rolled over and ignored it. Thinking it was a Pidove that landed on his window sill.

Tap.

There it was again. He got up and looked at his window. He noticed there were two figures outside, one big, one small and they both were floating in mid air.

Tap.

He saw the smaller figure had tapped the window, signaling they want him to come to the window.

He got out of bed and went over to it. When he opened it, he gasped at what he saw.

In front of him were Mewtwo and Mew. The legendary pokemon of life and genetics were right in front of him!

"Mew, Mewtwo, what are you two doing here?"

Mewtwo answered in a voice he did not recognise. "Greetings Chosen One. You don't remember me, but I am the Mewtwo created by Team Rocket in Kanto. I was full of hatred and ready to destroy all the humans in the world, that is, until you showed me that not all humans are despicable creatures. I erased yours and a few other trainers minds of you meeting me on that fateful day. And the reason we are here is because we want to repay you for what you have done for us. By becoming your pokemon"

Ash nearly fainted. There were two Mewtwo's!? How was that possible. He then remembered that the Mewtwo he met in New Tork City said it was created recently by a criminal group in Unova, which meant that that Mewtwo was created by Team Plasma. So this Mewtwo was the first one he met when he was still travelling in Kanto? And he helped change Mewtwo's mind about humans? Now he and Mew want to repay him for what he did for them by becoming part of his team? He needed to sit down. This was becoming too much to take at once.

As soon as he sat on the bed, Mewtwo teleported inside, while Mew just flew through the open window and closed it with her psychic.

Ash looked at the two legendary pokemon in front of him and noticed they were now holding special pokeballs. "What are those? I've never seen pokeballs like that before"

Mewtwo answered him. "These are called Cherish Balls. They are specially designed to hold legendary pokemon like us inside them. Lord Arceus gave us these so you can catch us and add us to your family. He saw what happened between you and the others, and he feels guilty for he could not prevent it. But he heard your prayer and regrets to inform you, he cannot stop this nightmare on his own. You need to be the one to stop it. Only then, will the nightmare stop and you will be free"

Mew and Mewtwo handed him the Cherish Balls, waiting to be captured. Ash took a deep breath, before letting it out in a sigh. "Well, if this is what you really want?" They both nodded their heads. Nodding himself, he stood up and tapped them on their heads with the Cherish Balls. They were instantly sucked in, and the balls dinged straight away, signifying a successful capture.

Ash smiled, he couldn't believe it, two legendaries have been added to his family. He'll have to check this isn't a dream when it's morning.

Yawning, he placed the two balls by the computer on his desk, got back into bed and drifted off to sleep, again.

Next morning

Professor Juniper was already in the kitchen when Ash got downstairs. He could smell the glorious smell of pancakes. But not just any pancakes, oran and sitrus berry pancakes! These were his favourite, especially when his...mom...made them. Oh dear.

Aurea saw Ash standing by the doorway, he looked upset, but she mistook that for still being tired. "Morning dear. Would like any of my special pancakes?"

Ash just politely said "No thank you mom. I'm not really hungry. I'll just get some juice"

Aurea frowned at this, but nodded none the less. She allowed him to drink his beverage before he went back to his room.

As soon as she finished making her pancakes, Dawn walked in with a yawn. "Morning mom" She yawned and stretched (Just typing that made me yawn too), before she smelled the delicious smell of pancakes.

"Morning sweety! Would you like any pancakes? I only makes these ones for special occassions, this being one of course"

Dawn immediately nodded her head while saying "Oh, yes please! It's been a long time since I've had pancakes!" Aurea handed her a plate and she took them into the living room to eat them at the table.

Next Serena walked in, looking as awake as ever. "Morning professor!" She sniffed the air. "Ooh, those smell real good!"

The professor giggled, Serena was a bit like Ash, knowing good food when she smelled it. "Would you like some?" Serena immediately nodded her head. Professor Juniper handed her a plate as well, and she followed the same path as Dawn.

As Aurea was making more pancakes, she heard a rumbling sound coming from upstairs. She smiled. May must smell the pancakes. Let's see now, she'll be here in 3...2...1...Now!

As soon as she thought "Now!" May came skidding into the kitchen and practically yelled "Are those pancakes I smell!?" Causing the professor to chuckle. May is even more like Ash. She has a big, healthy appetite, and... She saw May was looking for something, or someone. She seems to like Ash a lot. Maybe more than a friend?

She put these thoughts to rest before she handed May a plate full of pancakes. She eagerly took the plate and practically bounced on her way out the kitchen. Aurea giggled again, glad to have so many young ones, even if they aren't that young, in her home. She put some pancakes on two more plates, one for her and one for Ash. Maybe she'll ask May to take them to him later.

With Ash

As Ash entered his room again, he looked at his desk and saw the two Cherish Balls there from last night. So it wasn't a dream. That's right Ash! You've now got two legendary pokemon in your team.

Ash left them where they are and decided to look up the news again, see what his so called 'mother' has to say this time.

But to his shock, when he turned on the T.V. and changed to the news, it wasn't in front of the Ketchum residence. They were now at, May's house!? What do they want with Norman and Caroline? He listened to the reporter carefully.

"You join me live, outside the house of the runaway May Maple. In a few moments, we will be interviewing her family to get their reactions to this shocking development" She turned and placed the mic in front of Norman and Caroline. "Mr. and Mrs. Maple, as you know, your daughter May has disappeared with her boyfriend, Ash Ketchum, and they were last seen here in Hoenn. Could you tell us, just where exactly, do you think that Ash and the others have gone?"

Caroline ignored the question and instead, told her "Ash and May are not boyfriend and girlfriend. They are just friends, although, if they do start to date, we give them our permission and blessing. As for where they went, we have no idea. They just came here, told us what happened, got some of May's things and left without telling us where they're going to"

"Thank you Mrs. Maple" She turns back to the camera. "There you have it ladies and gentlemen. Ash, Dawn, May and Serena, could be anywhere in the world right now. If anyone has any knowledge of their whereabouts, please contact your nearest Officer Jenny and report to them their location so they can be safely brought home to their parents. I am Sarah Foodhall. Reporting live, in Hoenn, for Pokemon World News. Back to the studio"

Ash couldn't help but smile a weak smile. The news reporters were so easy to fool. They did tell Norman and Caroline where they were going, but he's glad they didn't tell anyone. He doesn't feel like going back, ever. This was his home now. But for how long? How long will he be able to stay here until he's betrayed again?

Stop it Ash! The girls and your new mothers will never betray you! They aren't like that! So do yourself a favour and stop thinking this way! He grabbed his hair in frustration.

With the girls

May, Dawn, Serena, and Professor Juniper were all seated on the sofa. They had just seen the news and they were all wearing smiles. Glad May's parents kept their location a secret. May was a bit sad, but happy, that her mom told the news reporter that she and Ash weren't a couple. But she was more glad to hear they would approve of her dating Ash.

After talking amongst themselves, Dawn and Serena decided to go shopping for a short while, while May stayed behind to practice her contest moves for the next contest she enters.

Before May went, Professor Juniper asked her "May, can you do me a favour and take the plate of pancakes in the kitchen to Ash's room please? I'm sure he must be hungry by now"

Nodding, May got up and went into the kitchen. She took the plate of pancakes up to Ash's room, but first she wrote a little note for him and put it on the plate with the pancakes.

She quietly opened his door and peeked inside. She saw Ash was at his desk with his head resting on his arms. She slowly walked over to him and put the plate right next to him. She then left the room and went outside to train for her next contest.

With Ash

Ash heard the door to his room open, he thought someone was just checking on him so he went back to sleep. When he heard something be put on his desk, he waited for the person to leave the room before he sat up and saw a plate of pancakes next to him.

He brought it over, after hearing his stomach growl, and noticed a note on the plate. He picked it up and saw it was from May.

'Professor Juniper asked me to bring these to you. We both thought you must be hungry by now and I don't want you to starve. So be sure to eat them all! Love May'

Ash smiled, glad May thought about his wellbeing. This meant she truly cared for him. So he did as he was told and ate every last one until the plate was empty.

Two hours later

May was on her way to Ash's room to see if he ate any of the pancakes, but when she got to his door, she saw the empty plate and a note on it. She opened it and read 'Thanks May. You truly are my best friend aren't you? Thanks for worrying about me. Love Ash'

May couldn't help but giggle and blush a little when she read the note. She took the plate back to the kitchen, washed it, dried it and put it back in it's place.

She went back into the living room and saw Professor Juniper and another woman was sat down with a bunch of papers on the coffee table. She went over and got a look at them and saw they were the adoption papers for Ash and Dawn.

"Professor Juniper? Are those the adoption papers for Ash and Dawn by any chance?"

Both women jumped a bit when they heard May speak. Aurea replied with "Jeez May! You nearly gave us a heart attack. And to answer your question, yes, they are. They arrived just a few minutes ago and me and my wife here were just going through them" the other woman then stood up and held out her hand for May to shake.

"Nice to meet you May. I'm Sarah Fennel (Don't know her first name) and I'm also a professor and Aurea's wife of two years" May smiled and shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you too"

Aurea then asked May if she could get Ash and Dawn for her so they can sign the papers so they could be sent of to the adoption registry office. May agreed and went to fetch them. She found Dawn in her room putting away the new clothes she and Serena bought earlier, and she found Ash at his desk in his room on his computer. She told them both they were needed downstairs to sign the adoption papers.

When the papers were signed, everybody went into the kitchen to start making lunch. All the girls did the peeling, cutting and actual cooking, while Ash was left with washing up duty.

And there is chapter three! Wow! I wrote these chapters in three days! That's a record for me! Hope you enjoyed and, please, leave a review and follow and/or fave this fic if you want more! I just recently started college again for my final year in performing arts so I won't be able to update for a little bit. I'm gonna be busy preparing to perform for the National Theatre in college, meaning I will have less time to write and less time to update.

But I WILL update eventually! Don't worry! I will continue to do my best with these stories!

So until next time! Goodbye!
