An Officer And A Pokémon Master
Chapter 10
Down the street from Jenny's house, right before the front was blown away, Jenny's long time best friend was on her way to visit her inept cop friend. Joy was anxious to find out all the juicy details of Jenny's date with Ash Ketchum, The Greatest Pokémon Master Ever. Actually, Joy was supposed to be at the Pokémon Center in Celadon City, but her own Mom and the other Nurse Joys begged her to take a few days off as a reward for being such a hard worker. Right now, Joy was rollerblading to Jenny's house while listening to some Junkie XL on her MP3 player, which was strapped onto her belt. Since she was forced to take a day off, Joy just went for a normal t-shirt, blue jean combo as she bladed her way to Jenny's. Just as arrived at the street where Jenny's house was, the giant explosion rocked the neighborhood. The shaking of the ground caused Joy to lose balance and fall right to the ground.
Huh? What in the world... Joy thought as she picked herself up and her MP3 player off the ground. After some reasoning deducting, Joy noted that the blast that knocked her on her can would have been caused by Fire Blast. Then suddenly, Joy saw smoke bellow from the street Jenny's house was on. She realized that it was Jenny's house that was blasted.
"That is Jenny's house!!! She blew up her own house!!!" Joy panicked as she then ran towards her friend's wrecked house. Moments later, the young nurse arrived at her friend's house. Or what's left of it. The whole front of the house was just gone!!!! You can clearly see inside Jenny's house like it was a large dollhouse. There wasn't any fire inside the house or anywhere on that matter. Upon closer examination, Joy saw Jenny and her Mother inside what's left of their home. Looks like they were looking at something inside.
"Hey!! Jenny!!! Are you okay?!!" Joy yelled out. Moments later, both Jenny and her Mom looked out and saw the young nurse in her street clothes looking at the house.
"Joy? What the hell are you doing here?!!" Jenny yelled back,
"I was forced to take the day off. What the hell happened here?" Joy asked,
"That little shit from down the street and his Torkoal did this!!! The punk used Fire Blast and blew away my house!!!" Jenny's Mom said angrily. Before Joy could ask who this kid was, the kid in question came back to the scene with his Pokémon. Joy saw him before he could see her and quickly skated across the street and hid behind some bushes.
"I'm back!!" The kid said cheerfully as he and his Torkoal looked over the damage to Jenny's house. It could be rebuilt, but it would take a long time and lots of money to do it.
"What the hell do you want, you little shit?!!" Jenny's Mom yelled out angrily. Oh how she wanted to run up to the kid and beat the shit out of him, but she held herself back because he was just a minor and she would be in for it. Jenny couldn't lay a finger on him either since she was still a police officer, even though Jenny was supposed to be placed on the inactive list yesterday.
"I came to mock you!! You cops suck!! Ha ha ha!! There ain't no way you or your dumbass girl of yours can lay a hand on me!! I can have you busted for Police brutality!!" The young kid said mockingly while he and his Torkoal were laughing it up. He knew they couldn't lay a hand on him, since his Dad had a lot of power in the Pokémon League. What they didn't know was that Joy was secretly skating up from behind. Jenny's Mom saw Joy sake up to him from behind, just waiting to beat him up.
"My daughter and I know we can't lay one finger on you, but my daughter's friend can." Jenny's Mom said as she pointed to Joy. Then suddenly, Joy skated up from behind, grabbed his head and delivered a near perfect Diamond Cutter. He didn't even see it coming as he lay lifeless on the street. The kid's Torkoal started to panic and quickly seeked cover inside its Poké Ball. After that melee was over, Joy went inside what was left of Jenny's house as she and her Mom were taking in how badly damaged their home was. It won't be very livable for a while.
"Well, Jenny. Looks like we won't be staying here for awhile." Jenny's Mom said as she kicked away a chunk of the wall from their way,
"Just great. Now where are we going to stay? I don't think Gramdma would let us stay at her place until our house is rebuilt." Jenny said,
"She'll probably let us stay for a few days, then we are on our own." Jenny's Mom said. Jenny then looked at the picture of her Mom and Delia taken back those years ago and she thought back to the few days she stayed at Ash's house. She had plenty of talks with Ash's Mom and she found out that she just loves it when Ash's friends stayed at their home for periods of time.
"You know, Mom. Why not give Delia a call? I mean, she would be thrilled to see you again. And I bet she won't mind if you asked her if we could stay over for a while." Jenny said,
"I really don't know, Jenny. I haven't seen Delia in nearly 20 years. I bet that she won't remember me at all." Jenny's Mom said. Joy thought she heard that the name of Ash Ketchum's Mom was Delia and she recently had a few pictures of her with Ash in some Pokémon magazines. The young nurse saw the photos on the table and took a look at then real quick. When Joy put the pieces together, she needed answers from her inept cop friend.
"Delia? Ash Ketchum's Mom? Okay, Jenny. What is this all about?" Joy asked as she got both the attention of Jenny and her Mom,
"You see, Joy. Back many years ago, I was friends with Ash Ketchum's Mom during our school days. The last time I saw her was before Delia got married." Jenny's Mom answered as she explained a bit of her past to Joy. This was GIANT news to the Pokémon nurse in training.
"What?!! Your Mom used to be friends with Ash Ketchum's Mom?!! Jenny... you know what to do. Answers!! Pronto!!!" Joy said as she stared down at Jenny, demanding some answers.
"Jenny, is Joy always like this about gossip?" Jenny's Mom asked,
"You wouldn't believe it." Jenny answered,
"Well, you two. We don't have anything else to do for the time being. So, why don't you girls have a seat somewhere it isn't broken and I'll tell you the first time Delia and I met." Jenny's Mom said as she brought the two young ladies into what was left of the living room.
"A story? Gee, I just love hearing old stories." Joy said happily as the three ladies took a seat. Then, Jenny's Mom began her story.
"Let's see... I think I was around 14 or 15 when I first met Delia."
[Flashback]
Life was very good for people in the Kanto region. Back around 25 years ago, Team Rocket wasn't formed yet, crime was non-existent, 10 year olds were going to school instead of becoming Pokémon trainers, the Pokémon League itself was still in its early years and Pokémon research was just getting its feet off the ground and have only found around 90 different kinds of Pokémon in the area.
Saffron City was perhaps the most peaceful city in the area. It just recently overtook Celadon City as the biggest city in Kanto, all thanks to the opening of the new Silph Co. Headquarters, providing new jobs for everybody. It was approaching 8 A.M. and the streets were filled school kids heading off to one of the many schools in the Saffron City area. One schoolgirl in particular was busy reading a police officer manual instead of watching where she was going on the sidewalk as she bumped into many people. She looked like a normal Officer Jenny, but this Jenny was still a teen and was wearing a school uniform.
"If I keep reading this police officer manual, I'll probably turn into a much better cop than my Mom." The young girl said to herself as she rounded a corner into an alley, that is a shortcut to the school she was heading to. Just a ways away from the school, the girl saw this group of guys tossing a pink backpack in the air as another person caught it, before throwing it to another person as this young girl with brown hair and dressed in a school uniform that is part of the Viridian City school district. Looks like those guys were playing "Keep away" with a girl's backpack. Every day, those guys just pick on a random person and make his or her day a living hell.
"Hey!! Give me back my stuff!!!" The girl said as she nearly caught her bag, but one of the taller guys snagged it away. Just before the taller kid threw the pack to another one of his buddies, the young Jenny leapt in the air and caught the bag, much to the dismay of the older guys there.
"Hey!! What are you doing, interrupting our fun?!!" The lead guy asked angrily. He hated it when anyone tried to ruin his gang's fun, especially if another girl tries to do that.
"Don't you morons have anything else better to do than hassle new kids? I thought that new guy taught you a lesson when he slammed all of you into the dumpster last month." The younger Jenny said as she handed the new girl her backpack. She quickly hid behind Jenny for fear of retaliation. This little quote got all of the guys pissed off at the young girl, especially the gang leader. He was now ready to beat the girl down, even though that is totally wrong for a guy to lay a hand on a woman in violence.
"Oh, you're going to pay for that one!! Get ready to... OOF!!!" All of a sudden, the young Jenny ran up to the guy and with one swift motion, kicked him South of the border with her foot!!! He did a fighting stance that left a small opening where Jenny took advantage. And she did. The guy fell to his knees as he held into his package and all of the others ran for their lives, not wanting to mess with the girl who took down their leader. The young girl that Jenny saved appeared out from her hiding spot and shyly looked at her savior.
"Um... thank you." The young girl said meekly,
"Hey, that's no problem. I always like to beat up those guys whenever they pick on an innocent person. Oh, by the way... I'm Jenny. So, what's your name, newbie?" Jenny asked as she introduced herself to the girl,
"Delia. I just moved here from Viridian City 2 weeks ago. This is my first day of school." The young girl answered quietly,
"Well, Delia. Just stick with me and I'll make sure nobody makes fun of you ever again or they'll have to face off with the future greatest Officer Jenny in the world! We'll become good friends and I'll make sure nobody goes near you ever again!!" Jenny said confidently. Delia didn't know what to make of her newfound friend, but she could see that the older schoolgirl did mean everything she said.
"Um... okay. I'd like that.. I guess." Delia said shyly as she then picked up her backpack and ran after her new older friend to school. By this time, they were both late for class as the school bell started to ring loudly.
[End Flashback]
"Well, I'll be damned. Your Mom was friends with Ketchum's Mom all those years ago. My friend's Mom is friends with the Mother of The Greatest Pokémon Master EVER!!! What a small world." Joy said amazed as Jenny's Mom finished her story about how she first met Delia. The young nurse couldn't believe that her best friend's Mom used to be friends with the Mom of The Greatest Pokémon Master EVER!!! It really was a small world after all. Right now, Jenny's Mom was starting to have serious doubts about calling or seeing Delia to see if she and Jenny could stay over her house until theirs is fully repaired.
"It's been so long since we last met. I doubt Delia will remember me at all." Jenny's Mom said as she finished the story. She was still having a few doubts about just popping into her friend's life after being away for so long and they were growing by the minute. It would be nice for her to see her friend again, but she was now becoming very shy about it. Jenny and Joy weren't buying it.
"Oh, come on Mom. When I was staying over at her house, she mentioned that I reminded her of an old friend she used to know back in school." Jenny said as she started the job of trying to coax her Mother into calling up her old school friend,
"But... I would feel like I was just intruding on her if I just appeared out of nowhere like this. It's been nearly 20 years." Jenny's Mom said,
"Besides, Mom. If you asked her, I bet Delia would love it to have us stay over at her place. I also remember hearing her say to me that she loves it when Ash's friends stayed over. Hell, she even offered me to move in with her and Ash for as long as I wanted to." Jenny said, remembering all the long talks she had with Ash's Mom during her 3-day stay with The Greatest Pokémon Master EVER. This was news to Jenny's Mom. She nearly fell over in the seat she was sitting on.
"She told you that?!!!!" Jenny's Mom exclaimed,
"Well, when Ash is away on business, she usually gets pretty lonely and ever since Ash made the house bigger as a present to her after he became the Pokémon Master, she's always asking Ash's friends to stay a while." Jenny said cheerfully. She secretly enjoyed staying at Ash's home and wished beyond anything that her Mom would actually call Delia at that moment.
"I still think it's a bit wrong for me to just pop up and say hi after so long." Jenny's Mom said sadly. Looks like Jenny and Joy will have to take this into their own hands and gang up on her.
"Come on, Mom. Do it." Jenny said,
"Yeah. Do it." Joy added as the two girls started chanting at Jenny's Mom to call Delia Ketchum. So after a lot of coaxing from both Jenny and Joy and having a big giggle fit afterwards between herself, her daughter and the young nurse, Jenny's Mom found Ash's home phone number and started to dial it. Lucky for her, the phone was still working after that big blast.
+ + + + + + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + + +
Meanwhile in Pallet Town, Ash was busy reading some reports that were sent to him from the Pokémon League. Actually, Ash requested that they send a few of them to his house because he needed to get his mind off of Jenny for a while. He was still thinking that he'll never see her again, but knowing that Gary is right now begging for Giselle's forgiveness after she told him that she wouldn't go out with him tonight made Ash sort of happy for now. Ash read a new report on how Hoenn trainers love the Pokémon Eevee because of its ability to evolve into 5 different Pokémon, the phone started to ring. Right before Ash got it, his ever so cheerful Mom managed to pick up the phone.
"I got it, Ash." Delia said as she called out from upstairs. Ash just went back to looking at his report and he quickly finished that report. He found it a bit amusing for some odd reason. Then, Ash started to read the latest reports from the Kanto Gyms about their performance of the past 3 months. 15 minutes later, Ash was done with that report when he noticed that his Mom came down the steps with a giant smile on her face.
"Who was it?" Ash asked. He noticed that Delia was more happy than usual.
"One of my old friends from school!! I haven't seen her since before I married your father, Ash." Delia said happily,
"An old friend?" Ash asked. This was news to him. Most of the time, his Mom wouldn't even tell him anything from her past, let alone anything about his Dad, who he hasn't seen in over 14 years.
"Yeah. It's been almost 20 years since we last met up. She asked if she and her daughter could stay at our place for a while, so I agreed. Turns out their house was blasted by Fire Blast and the front wall of their house is gone." Delia said,
"I should have known. Ever since I managed to make the house bigger as a surprise, you just want to invite all of my friends to stay for a while." Ash said, noting that whenever he had some of his friends from his long Pokémon Journey over, Delia would always ask them to stay a while.
"Well, I do miss you when you're off traveling and doing your business. So, I told her that she and her daughter could stay for as long as they want to." Delia said,
"Anyway, when are they coming?" Ash asked,
"Tomorrow morning at 10. They are staying at another place for tonight before coming here." Delia answered. Ash quickly thought about that for a second and he remembered something important that needed his attention all day tomorrow. Something about Latias and looking after her for Professor Oak and Tracey.
"I won't be here to meet them tomorrow. Lance asked me to come by Prof. Oak's Lab and look after Latias for the day. It's my turn to keep an eye on Latias while the Professor and Tracey are going to Fuchsia City for a few days." Ash said,
"Well... my friend and her daughter will be here when you come back. I bet they will be so happy to see The Greatest Pokémon Master Ever." Delia said cheerfully. Ash's Mom always had to make sure she embarrassed Ash over his title at least 6 times a day and she likes it when he blushes over it also. It wasn't long before Ash was all business.
"Did you say that your old friend has a daughter? Did she say anything about her?" Ash asked,
"Why, yes. She told me that she's just about your age and they used to fight a lot until yesterday. Seems like she went out with a very nice boy that treated her like a queen, she got all mad about it and they nearly beat the crap out of each other over it. Too bad she didn't tell me who the boy was. Sounds a bit like you." Delia answered. What she said about the girl's date got Ash thinking.
Doesn't that sound like Jenny? Jenny's Mom was friends with my Mom back in the day? That's news to me. God, how I wish I could see her again and apologize to her. Ash thought to himself as he continued reading the reports. He was secretly hoping that it was Jenny who would stay at his house. With her around, he could get to know her much better and spend much more time also. Sadly, he won't see her arrive because he had to go look after Latias. Well, she won't be at Ash's house until tomorrow, so that allowed Ash some time to get some quick training done with Blaziken, Bayleef and Charizard. Later on, he has to go to Mt. Silver real quick to see something good. So, Ash has a busy two days ahead of him, not that he doesn't mind. He's The Greatest Pokémon Master Ever!! He's supposed to be busy.
+ + + + + + + + + +
+ + + + + + + + + +
It was the next day and Delia and her Pokémon Mr. Mime were busy dusting off everything and making the house look spotless. Today was the big day that her old friend from school and her daughter came by to stay as their home was being repaired. They would be there at 10 A.M. and it was already 9:50. It wouldn't be long. As for Ash, he left for Professor Oak's Lab an hour earlier.
"There. That should do it, Mimey. I could see my face clearly in everything here." Delia said as she finished dusting the last piece of furniture in the house. Mimey also finished up sweeping every floor in the house.
"Mr. Mime." Mr. Mime said as he finally finished sweeping the kitchen,
"They should be here anytime now. It's too bad Ash isn't here to welcome them." Delia said as she straightened out her usual pink and yellow shirt and blue skirt ensemble. Moments later, the front doorbell rang. Delia quickly walked to the door and opened it real wide. There stood Jenny and her Mom carrying a few suitcases with them. The two older women didn't say one word for a few minutes but Jenny nudged her Mom a bit to make her speak up.
"Um... Hi, Delia." Jenny's Mom said shyly. It was more than enough for Delia's cheerful side to appear.
"Jenny. I can't believe it's you. Why, it's been nearly 20 years since we last met. Why couldn't you have called me?" Delia asked as she grabbed her friend's hands in hers, causing Jenny to drop her stuff on the porch.
"Well... you see, Delia... Um... I've been so wrapped up in my career as a police officer that I just forgot to even talk to you. I'm sorry." Jenny's Mom said sadly. She was having a very hard time trying to even find a few words to say to her old school friend after nearly 20 years. She really wasn't expecting to see Delia right then and there. If only Jenny wasn't so damn focused on her career as one of the best officers in all of Kanto and Johto.
"Well, never mind that for now. Why don't you two come in and make yourselves at home? You can tell me every little detail of what has happened to you inside. I'll have Mimey take your suitcases inside and start a pot of tea for us." Delia said happily as she took the two officers into her home as Mr. Mime grabbed their suitcases and brought them inside also. Jenny and her Mom were absolutely amazed on how clean and spotless the house was. Their home wasn't as clean as Delia's. Most of the time, there were old pizza boxes, dirty clothes, empty Poké Puffs boxes, soda cans and other trash just lying around the whole house. It was a dump that was just recently cleaned up last week.
"Damn. I've never seen a house this clean before. Our home is not like this." Jenny's Mom said as she admired the spotless house,
"It would help if we cleaned up our house every 3 days at the least." Jenny said. Delia led the two officers into the ever so clean and spotless kitchen where she sat the two Jennys down at the kitchen table. Mimey was starting to make some tea after he went upstairs to set the suitcases in the spare bedrooms.
"Okay, Jenny. Now tell me why you couldn't call me while you were so busy with your cop life." Delia said as she started her interrogation of Jenny's Mom. While her Mom started to explain to Ash's Mom about how her cop life prevented her from even seeing her old friend, Jenny reached for her backpack and took out a giant box of her favorite cereal, Poké Puffs with limited edition Latios and Latias marshmallows. Just as she stuffed the first mouthful of cereal into her mouth, Jenny's Mom turned around and went back to her old bitchy self.
"Jenny!! Stop eating that damn cereal!! It's for kids and you're a grown woman!!!" Jenny's Mom said as she tried to take the cereal away from her daughter but the younger girl fought off her Mother's advances to protect her Poké Puffs.
"So what! You like eating that Frosted NASCAR Drivers Helmet Puffs with #3 Dale Earnhardt marshmallows!!! That stuff is for kids also and I remember seeing you down half a box before you went to the station one day!!" Jenny shot back while defending her cereal. It was now time for Jenny's Mom to be on the defensive.
"Shut up!!! I only ate that so I could get the free 1:18 Rusty Wallace car inside." Jenny's Mom said embarrassed,
"And I found 5 more boxes in your room yesterday." Jenny shot back as her Mom tried to think up of something to say to her kid. Ash's Mom looked on in amazement as the Mother/Daughter officers were still arguing. Secretly, Delia was so happy that she and Ash have a great relationship together.
"Wow. I'm amazed that you two haven't killed each other yet." Delia said,
"We almost did kill each other a few days ago." Jenny's Mom said, still remembering how the events of Saturday Night, mainly Jenny going out with Ash without her know it, affected them greatly in a good way.
"Well, Jenny. Looks like I'll have to teach you a few things about how to treat a daughter." Delia said sternly,
"Oh, come off it, Delia. At least I'm trying to treat her nice this time!" Jenny's Mom panicked. She really didn't want her old friend to lecture her about how to treat Jenny. Jenny's own Mom has that duty. Jenny just looked on as Delia wrapped her arm around Jenny's Mom as she started to tell her Mom how to treat her much better than before. At that time, Jenny remembered that she saw Ash's Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport parked outside, but she really hasn't seen him yet. Usually, Ash would come down and see who it was by now. She had to see The Greatest Pokémon Master Ever.
"Mrs. Ketchum... do you know where Ash is?" Jenny asked meekly. She really wanted to go see Ash instead of being here with her Mom and Ash's Mom they started catching up on every little bit that has happened since they last met nearly 20 years back. It's not that Jenny would love to stay with her Mom and Delia for a while, she wanted to see Ash badly.
"I think he's spending the day over at the professor's lab. Something about it's his turn to look after Latias..." Delia didn't get to finish because Jenny dropped her box of cereal, was now already out of her chair, out the door and running off to the Lab at full speed.
"I knew she would do that. Ever since that date that she had with your son this past weekend, Jenny has been dying to see him again." Jenny's Mom said as she finished off her cup of tea. Delia didn't say a word as Mr. Mime took away the empty cup. She just couldn't believe that her little boy went out on a date with her friend's daughter. It really was a small world.
"So, Jenny. What have you been up to since the past 19 years?" Delia asked, still wanting to know every little detail of the story her old friend has to tell.
"Got some very strong liquor anywhere? I got a long ass story to tell you, Delia and that shit usually hits the spot." Jenny's Mom said,
"And I know just the stuff that I've been saving for such an occasion as this one." Delia said as she got up from her seat and quickly made her way to the basement to pick up something she has been saving for a very long time for her and her old friend to guzzle down.

"Oh, no! Not NASCAR!! Anything but that!!!" Ash groaned as he placed his head in his hands. There was one thing he hated besides Team Rocket, Pokémon Poachers, Nissan Skyline JGTC cars and Brock, Pikachu and Gary spying on him during dates: NASCAR Racing. Well, he should have expected this from Tracey. He told him that the V.I.P. Pokémon accidentally started watching TV a few days ago and ever since, Latias has let Prof. Oak and his comrades to every little test they can think of, just as long as she gets in 15 hours of the Racing Network per day. Right now, he and the Eon Pokémon were sitting on front of the big screen TV watching tons of shows, thanks to the Professor getting satellite TV last year. Prof. Oak thinks that if Latias just watches that while Ash is there, everything will go smoothly. For today, Ash is restricted to being in the living room with a racing loving, Double Gulp drinking Eon Pokémon and the one thing that really shocked him... Latias was speaking in the human language.
"Come on!! Somebody kick Jr.'s ass!!!" The Eon Pokémon said as she watched the cars go around the track at speeds of nearly 200 MPH while sucking down some Coke from her big drink.
"How come you're talking in the human language?" Ash asked, still surprised to see and hear Latias talking and swearing like a guy while downing her soda.
"Because I'm sick of talking in Pokémon talk!! And I know Oak, Lance and their dummies will pee in their pants if I happen to say, "Hey. Can't I get a bacon triple cheeseburger up in here?" He would die of a heart attack!!" Latias said,
"No, he wouldn't die. He would go crazy for a few minutes before he tries to have an intellectual conversation with you." Ash answered,
"Well, that's just the old professor. You know, if you're The Greatest Pokémon Master EVER... why haven't you caught a Legendary Pokémon? I mean... my trainer caught me by pure luck. Maybe you lack that trait." Latias said, trying to get on Ash's nerves.
"Shut up. I get enough of that from Lance all of the damn time back at the league." Ash grumbled to himself angrily as he watched the final laps of the race unfold. Sure, it would have been real nice for Ash to have a Legendary Pokémon in his possession, but the Pokémon that he has right now could decimate any Legendaries in a matter of minutes. They are that powerful. Just as Latias was on the edge of her seat as the two leaders were bumping into each other on the final lap, the doorbell rang and it annoyed the hell out of Latias.
"Whoever it is, make them leave!! I'm not into buying any crap!!" Latias yelled out as Ash reached the front door of Prof. Oak's house.
So, I'm reduced to Latias' personal servant? It's too bad that I don't have Crawdaunt here. I would have made it use Ice Beam and teach that bitch a lesson. Ash thought to himself angrily as he opened the door, expecting a solicitor. What he did find was the young Officer Jenny that he took out on a date this past Saturday Night. And he sure as hell wasn't expecting her to be here!!! Nor was he expecting for what she is about to do next.
"Ash!!" Jenny cried out and she literally leapt into Ash's arms and started hugging him to death. She was so happy to see him. This really caught Ash by surprise, but he happily returns the embrace. This lasted only for a few seconds.
"JENNY?!!! What in the world are you doing here in Pallet?!!!" Ash asked surprised as he reluctantly let the young officer go. He couldn't believe what just happened. His new friend just leapt into his arms and hugged him. Last time he saw her was during their date on Saturday Night. They were just about to kiss right before Gary, Brock and Pikachu had to ruin their moment. Why was she here in Pallet?
"To make a long story short, some kid and his Torkoal blasted a giant ass hole in my house and my Mom actually knows your Mom from many years ago. So she called up and we're staying at your house for a while." Just before Ash said anything else, Latias yelled out from the living room.
"Ketchum!! Get your ass back in here!!!! Wallace and Earnhardt Jr. are beating the crap out of each other!! And Jr.'s bleeding!!! Wallace busted him open!!!" Latias yelled out loudly, causing Jenny to nearly leap in the air. Just who was that in the living room? She would get that answered as she followed Ash into the house, where she got a really good look at who it was.
"No way." Jenny said as she and Ash arrived in the room. There was the very cute Eon Pokémon Latias, sitting on the couch with a Double Gulp in one hand and the TV clicker in the other, watching a giant fight on the big screen TV. The Pokémon looked up real quick and noticed Jenny standing behind Ash.
"Oh. Hi, there!!! Nice to see you again, copper!!" Latias said cheerfully as her attention went straight back to the TV where some police officers and other drivers tried to get into the fight between Wallace and Jr. Rusty was Hell bent on killing Dale Jr.
"You can talk?!!!" Jenny asked surprised. When the young officer was looking after Latias almost a week ago, she didn't even talk one bit. Now here was Latias watching a giant fight on TV and drinking a Double Gulp from Pallet's nearby 7-Eleven.
"Yup!!! Have a seat!! Gordon just prided Rusty Wallace off of Dale Jr.'s body!! I think he's dead!!" Latias said as the TV now showed the medics arriving to help Jr. off the track and get him to a hospital before he dies. Jenny was about to ask why Latias is now talking, but Ash beat her to it.
"Jenny, don't ask me why she's talking now. I have no idea also." Ash answered bluntly. The two sat down on another couch near Latias as the show finally ended with Rusty Wallace doing a funny little dance, celebrating his victory over Dale Jr.
"Next on the Racing Network, the Japan GT Championship, live from Fuji!!!" The TV announcer said enthusiastically. That caught Jenny's interest big time and as Latias went to grab the clicker, Jenny sprung into action.
"The JGTC?!!! Change the channel and die, Pokémon!!!!" Jenny ordered harshly as she suddenly took out a Colt .45 pistol and aimed it right under Latias' head!!!! The inept cop is well known in Celadon City for being the only Jenny to pack really powerful heat and seeing a gun pointed at the Eon Pokémon proved that point, but scared the shit out of Ash. She thought she was going to kill the Pokémon, but seeing Latias push away the remote.
"Okay, okay. Jeez, I really wasn't going to." Latias said as Jenny backed away and sat back down next to Ash as the next race show started up.
Wow... remind me never to get into a fight with her. With that piece, she could shoot my nuts off. Ash thought to himself as he watched the start of the next race show. Unknown to him, Jenny scooted closer to him on the sofa they were sitting on.
"Welcome to The Autobacs JGTC Championship, live from the rebuilt Fuji Speedway!!! This race is brought to you by Gran Turismo 4: Drive it like you stole it!!" The announcer said as the TV showed the really bad ass looking Supras, NSXs and Skylines head for the starting grid.
"Hey, Ash. Don't you drive your Corvette like you stole it?" Jenny asked,
"Yeah. Hell, when Lorelei was a member of the Elite Four, she always drove her cars like she stole them. I think she has the most speeding tickets out of any member of the Pokémon League in history." Ash answered. The two along with Latias, watched the JGTC pre race show and when the starting grid was shown, Ash just went uncharacteristically crazy.
"Yeah!!! The Toyotas are on the front row!!! Skylines suck!!!!" Ash said cheerfully as he started whooping it up. This shocked Latias a bit while Jenny muttered something about nuking the Toyota Motor Company off the face of the Earth with Ho-oh.
"What's with The Greatest Pokémon Master EVER?" Latias asked Jenny,
"He has a thing for Toyota Supras in the JGTC and he hates Nissan Skylines with a passion." Jenny answered,
"In the GT500 field, you would have to look all the way back to 13th place to find the rest of the Toyota cars. The Skylines will no doubt pass the #1 Supra and the #36 Supra in the very first turn of the very first lap." The TV guy said as the drivers got into their cars for the pace lap. Now it was Jenny's turn to bash Ash's Toyotas as he then went quiet.
"Ha ha. Looks like your favorite Supra is going to be swallowed up by a whole flock of MY Skylines." Jenny said as she laughed a bit at Ash's look on his face,
"Shut up." Ash muttered as he plopped himself down on the couch and scooted away from Jenny.

The race ended in over 2 hours and in a major upset, a JGTC spec Chevrolet Corvette C5R American Le Mans car, won the race over two Supras, 2 Skylines and the new Nissan 350 Z factory racer. Both Ash and Jenny didn't see that Corvette coming at the end of the race as it took the win. After all that, Latias was finally bored with seeing racing, which meant it was time for her to go back into her Poké Ball for a rest. That meant Ash and Jenny can go back to Ash's place to see how Jenny's Mom and Delia were getting along.
"That's enough. I'm tired. I'm ready to hit the Ball." Latias said as she yawned loudly and dropped the remote on the table,
"That's fine with me." Ash said as he walked into the lab and got Latias' special Poké Ball from the Lab. After he put her in the Ball and placed her in a safe spot, he would then activate the super security system to keep Latias safe until one of the Pokémon League officials comes by to look after the lab just a few minutes after Ash leaves. "Well, in you go." Ash said as he reappeared with the special Poké Ball and pointed it to Latias, who was then turned into a red light and was sucked into the Poké Ball. Ash then walked back into the lab and in a minute, came out with the security system activated. It was a long day and Ash wanted to go home and rest, but he was still wondering why the young Officer was doing here in Pallet.
"Well, Ash. What do we do now?" Jenny asked as she got up off the couch,
"You can tell me what the heck you're doing here in Pallet." Ash answered,
"Well, Ash... you'll have to ask your Mom about that one. So, let's get going! My Mom probably wants to talk to you again." Jenny said as she grabbed hold of Ash's arm and started to drag him to his house,
"Your Mom? What's going on?" Ash asked again, but Jenny just laughed a bit as she and Ash arrived at his house. And he was in for another big shocker.

Even though Latias was now inside her comfy Poké Ball, she couldn't sleep like she wanted to. Just as she turned off the TV, she could feel something or someone cry out for her help. Oddly enough, Latias just blocked it out of her mind when she went into her Poké Ball. But now, the voice was calling out to her strongly. She couldn't block it out any longer. Whoever it was, it was crying out to her in lots of pain. For some odd reason, Latias could feel its pain as well, like they shared a common bond. Then... it hit her like a ton of bricks. There is only one other Pokémon that she shares that bond with. And that was her brother, Latios. Using whatever psychic powers he hadn't used up, he was desperately trying to contact her, even though Nanba's Nasty Pokémon Provoker device he has been attached to, was draining him of his powers. Latios now needed Latias' help.
"Sister... help me... please..."
That single cry from help from her brother, jolted her awake and she busted out of her Poké Ball.
"... Latios? Brother?"
End Of Chapter 10
OH NO!!! A cliffhanger right after I got this brand new chapter out in 2 months!!! I'm evil!!! And I'm back!!!!!
What will Latias do to help out her brother, who is now taken by Team Rocket? Will she go help him alone or get the help of The Greatest Pokémon Master Ever?
I had to put Latias in this chapter and give her a big part. And I just had to make her talk in human and give her a sassy attitude to boot! Besides, I really didn't want to make Latias this really nice Pokémon.
Well... did any of you fans miss me? I know that I've been away for a while, but that's what happens when you have a job. I'm just happy that I got that PlayStation 2 that I've been longing forever. Now that I'm back, I'll promise you that I'll get back to work on all my fics.
