Jupitergirl132: Ha, interesting. Did the teacher get mad or anything in the process?

Sorry this was a little late! I had a book report due yesday, and I had no time to work on this. Enjoy! It's a bit slow at the beginning... just a warning.

Mother's Day 2013
Pikachu

We have been setting up a picnic area in a field near Nimbasa City for today. Ash's mom was traveling here just for Mother's Day! Not only her, but Bulbasaur, Brock, Mudkip, Sudowudo, Croagunk, and Misty will be here, too! It's been over a year since I've seen my old friends from the other regions! It's too bad Dawn can't come with her Pokemon...

Aw, never mind that. I'm going to hang out with them all day! Tomorrow morning, they're going to be going back to Kanto. That's too bad; I wish they could stay longer, but the next plane to Kanto is at that time, the Magnet Train is unfortunately down for maintenance, and the S.S. Anne isn't leaving Johto due to a problem with Tentacruel and Tentacool.

"Hey, gang, they should be here in about an hour. Why don't you just relax until then? You've done a lot of work today," Cilan suggested.

All the Pokemon nodded their heads and left to hang out with each other and talk. I lingered behind to look around at the friends I've had for so long. Perhaps I should tell you about how we are doing?

Axew and Scraggy have gotten wiser when coming to dangerous things. They only climbed trees when allowed and never ran off without asking. The reason why was because recently they ran off at night to finish something they were making. When the trainers and I found them after hearing Axew's cry, they had apparently angered some forest Pokemon for making such a ruckus.

Leavanny and Unfezant had been raising the adopted and hatched baby Eevee we got on Easter. He hatched about three weeks later since then, so he had already been maturing well. Just about a week ago, he won his first trainer battle. I can't wait to find out what kind of Pokemon he'll evolve into! There are just so many possibilities! Leavanny was transferred to Professor Juniper's lab due to the filled party.

Snivy and Oshawott have been staying together faithfully, protecting and caring for each other. Let me say, it's pretty cute when they're doing that, because they have they're own weaknesses and strengths. Snivy started becoming more dependant on Oshawott, who loved to battle by her side. Snivy was both brains and brawns, but Oshawott played a good part in comforting and keeping things under control.

Emolga has being more friendly and battle-friendly. She already stopped being rude and is now great to be around. No one else seemed to change.

"Uncle Pika, want to play tag with me and Scraggy and Axew?" asked Eevee with his shiny blue eyes. His right forepaw was the same color as the fur around his neck.

"Sure. I'll be it first. Threetwoonego! You're it!" I shouted, tapping him on the back. I ran toward Scraggy amd Axew. "You better run, guys! Eevee's the zombie!"

Oshawott

"Sheesh, Snivy! Why do you always have to be better than me at battling?"

"Some Pokemon are just born with that talent. Besides, I like you just the way you are, Oshawott."

"Thanks, but I really want to be as good as you. I end up being the first to be knocked in almost every double battle with you."

"You just need a little more battle practice, that's all."

"You say that every time, but it never happens!"

"Yeah, I guess that's true. Maybe we can practice your battling right now. Try hitting me with any moves. I'll keep dodging until you do."

"Why you?"

"Everyone else is occupied. Besides, it could be fun."

"O-oh, alright..." Snivy jumped back and readied her battle stance.

I started off with Hydro Pump, which she dodged easily by jumping. I jumped back at her with Razor Shell, but I missed terribly. I rocketed myself with Aqua Jet to catch up with her, but she dodged at the last minute, and I hit the ground with a thud.

"I noticed one thing in that session." I didn't respond for I was in quite a bit of pain. "Your move choices were incorrect. It's all about the physics."

"No, not physics..."

"Tackle or any physical move would be good for your first move, then Hydro Pump while I was in the air. I can't dodge very easily in the air. Your last move should've been Razor Shell since you can tell that you'll be charging straight at the ground from above."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's just try again, please?"

"Of course," she chuckled.

Eevee

"You're it! Hee hee hee!" I ran from the Pokemon with yellow pants. "Ha ha! I'm too fast for you, Scraggy!"

"You're it, Axew!" Scraggy called, tapping the dragon on the tail.

"Ha, run if you can!" Axew charged at Scraggy. The two ran by me, but Axew tricked me and tagged me instead.

"Hey, I'm going to get you back!" I shouted playfully.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my Uncle Oshawott and Auntie Snivy battling each other. I paused and watched Aunt Snivy dodging every single one of Oshawott's attacks.

"Hey, Eevee! Are you done playing? I mean, we can play something else, if you want!" Axew called to me.

"Yeah! Let's play "Battle and Defeat Uncle Oshawott and Auntie Snivy! Heh heh!"

"But they'll cream us if we do!"

"Nah, they won't want to hurt us, especially me! I'm going to be like Mom and win a bunch of battles!"

"Yeah! C'mon, let's attack while they're not expecting us! Uncle Pikachu, you coming, too?"

"Uh, sure. Okay, you three go on different sides. I'll come from above, 'k?"

"Yeah!" The three of us created a triangle around the two battlers, oblivious to our presence.

"Now!" Pikachu yelled. He jumped up and used Thundershock while the three of us used our own attacks.

"Focus Blast!"

"Dragon Rage!"

"Sand Attack!" I swiftly threw the sand at the two older Pokemon. They were barraged by the attacks.

When the cloud cleared, Uncle Oshawott was clearly knocked out, and Auntie Snivy was battered, but still standing.

"Kids, why did you interupt us? You know we were in the middle of battle practice!"

"Sorry..." Scraggy and Axew replied regretfully.

"C'mon, Snivy! They were just having fun!" Uncle Pikachu countered.

"And you should be more responsible. Haven't you realized that Ash's mom and friends will be here soon?" Aunt Snivy shouted at Uncle Pikachu.

"Yeah, but..."

"Let's drop this. I'm taking Oshawott to Iris." She stormed angrily off to the cooking place with Uncle Oshawott in her vines.

"Sheesh, I didn't know she'd actually get mad about that..." Uncle Pikachu muttered to us.

Excadrill

I whistled gleefully to myself. I had been working on the food arrangement for the past hour. I recently joined Pansage in setting up food, and I enjoyed it. I continued helping after that.

"Oshawott! What happened, Snivy?" I heard Iris shout in surprise.

"Pikachu and the kids surprise attacked us while Oshawott and I were battle practicing." Snivy pointed towards the four disappointed Pokemon looking this way.

"Oh. I'll go get you two fixed up." The three left to somewhere I didn't know.

Why now when we're expecting guests? I looked back to my work. Emolga was just coming over with the last platter of steaming hot food.

"I think I saw three trainers coming this way from those trees. Do you think they're the people we were looking for?"

"Ah. Go get Unfezant. Meet me up there." Emolga nodded and flew off excitedly. I carefully placed the plate of broccoli and cauliflower between the cole slaw and string beans. I didn't even know that Mother's Day was an actual holiday.

I set the cheese powder near the spaghetti and went off to the place Emolga directed me to. When I reached the trees, I heard two voices talking. One, in particular, sounded a bit frightened.

"I should've brought at least on of my Pokemon! Brock, send out one of yours so those BUGS don't TOUCH me!" cried the feminine voice.

"Hey, just a little bit more and we should be there. Just hang on to me. We didn't even find any bugs. I doubt we'll see any at the picnic area."

"Yeah, but what if either Ash or his friends HAS A BUG POKEMON?!"

"Calm down, Misty. Just keep on going." I walked up to them and gave a friendly greeting.

"AH! Is that a BUG?!" shouted the orange haired girl as she hid behind the tall man with dark skin and hair and had closed eyes. On his right was a brown and slightly reddish haired woman. She seemed interested in me.

"Why, hello, there. Who might you be?" asked the calm voice of the woman that had a resemblence to Ash.

"Excadrill!"

"Hello, Excadrill. Have you seen three trainers anywhere nearby?" I nodded and motioned them to follow. Just as I saw the edge of the forest, the two flying Pokemon arrived. "Oh my! Two more Pokemon!"

"Amazing! That bird looks beautiful! The feathers look magnificently preened," said the green vested man.

"Oh my goodness, that white Pokemon looks so CUTE!"

"Are we there yet? I need to get OUT of this forest! Oh, we're finally out!"

"ASH! It's your mum!" yelled the woman, running to Ash.

"Hi, Mom! Happy Mother's Day! I'm glad you could make it!"

"Of course! Thank you, Ashy-boy!"

"Wow, Brock and Misty! I haven't seen you wear those clothes since we parted at Kanto. How are you?"

The man spoke first. "It's great, Ash. I've been helping out at Pokemon day cares back at Kanto. How 'bout you?"

"Just great! I'm traveling with Cilan and Iris since the next Unova League is next year. How about you, Misty?"

She put her hands to her sides. "Not fine, thank you. You just didn't have the courtesy to set the lunch up AWAY from a forest filled with bug types, did you?"

"Misty, there aren't any Pokemon besides Deerling and Pidove living around here. Ha ha ha!" Misty whacked him with a folded paper in the face.

"Hey, how am I supposed to know? Besides, I've never been to this region before. You shouldn't expect me to know anything."

Ash rubbed the back of his head. "Heh! I don't!" Once again, Misty whacked him, but with a wooden rod. "OWWW!"

"THAT wasn't only for what you said. You still me a new bicycle!"

"I thought you dropped that already!"

"Nope! I take what ever I said back, then!"

"OH! I've missed you so much!" Ash's mom randomly exclaimed. She ran to Pikachu and started petting him nicely. Pikachu "cha'd" in delight.

My trainer and Cilan walked up. "Hi! Are you Ash's friends?" asked Iris.

"Yes, and I'm Ash's mom, Delia."

"Nice to meet you, Delia Ketchum. I'm Cilan, and this is Iris."

"I thought I'M supposed to introduce everyone." Everyone silenced and looked at him expectantly. "Oh, yeah. Well, this Misty and Brock. They were the first I traveled with during my Pokemon journey! They were both gym leaders back at Kanto."

"Wow, I'm also a gym leader at the nearby town, Striaton City, and a Pokemon connoisseur. It's a pleasure to meet you." Cilan and Brock shook hands.

"Nice to meet you, too, Cilan."

"I want to introduce you to my Pokemon!" Ash said to the newcomers. "This is Unfezant. She was the first Pokemon I caught here at Unova, and I've had her since she was a Pidove." Unfezant landed next to Ash. "This is Scraggy and Eevee. Eevee is my newest Pokemon! He was hatched about two months ago."

"He is a cutie, isn't he?" Misty replied, scracthing his chin. "You should evolve him into a Vaporeon."

"I'm not sure who he'll become, but I'm sure it'll be a good choice. Then here's Pignite. I got him like my Charizard and Infernape."

"Oh, you poor dear. Are you happy that my Ash is your trainer?" The two-legged pig nodded happily.

"Yeah, he's a really strong fellow," he said, patting his back. Ash looked around, confused. "Where are the other two?"

Iris spoke up. "Oh, Snivy and Oshawott were injured from a little joke Pikachu and the little ones played on them."

Ash looked at Pikachu with disappointment. "Pikachu, should be careful what you do. Try to be an example to the kids."

Pikachu looked down guiltily. "Sorry..." he muttered.

"Well, let me introduce my Pokemon. This is Excadrill."

"Yeah, he was friendly enough to meet us up. He's a pretty cool Pokemon, Iris. You raised him very well," said Brock. He slid his finger over my claws. "These metal claws are very well kept and polished."

"Thanks! Well, this one is Emolga. She's one of my best fighters, now." The electric squirrel landed on Iris's head. This little guy is my first Pokemon, Axew." Axew popped out of Iris's hair.

"This is Pansage. He helped set up the food with me. He was also the first Pokemon I got."

"Let me show you my Pokemon. Come on out!" Brock threw his Pokeballs into the air. A blue, finned Pokemon, a tree-like Pokemon, and a blue Seismitoad looking Pokemon appeared before us.

"This is Mudkip, Sudowudo, and Croagunk."

"Hi!" they all said simultaneously. Ash' mom also sent out a Pokemon, a green and light blue Pokemon with a large bulb on its back came out. Pikachu immediately ran up to him and started conversing.

"Bulbasaur, it's been so long! How are things at Professor Oak's?"

"Alright, I guess," he replied simply.

"'K, I'm hungry, now! C'mon, guys! Let's eat lunch! Have I told you that Cilan is one of the best cooks ever?"

"That's great! I can't wait to try!" Shouted Misty happily.

Snivy

Oshawott held onto my arm for support. I had gotten used to his touch, so I'm not as sensitive around him anymore. He had a bandage wrapped around his left arm. As we approached the eating place, Ash ran to us and picked both of us up.

"Glad you two are alright. Mom, Brock, Misty, these are my other two, Oshawott and Snivy." I noticed three new characters sitting at the table. One freaked me out a bit with his eyes, but he seemed nice. The other two were females. The man stood up and reached into his backpack, pulling out a strange orange bottle.

"You two will really need this." He pointed the bottle at me.

What in the world is that?

The man sprayed the liquid onto our cuts. They stung like crazy. I flinched and jumped down quickly.

"Hey, wait! Don't run! Sorry I didn't warn you. It'll hurt for a moment, but it's good for healing." I felt the stinging wear off, and I felt fresh. I glared at him and walked to the food bowls. "Sheesh, you've got quite a rude Pokemon there, Ash. Hey, how do you feel... Oshawott?" He happily jumped down.

"Pretty good, thanks!" Oshawott ran after me. I picked up my food bowl and sat under a nearby tree. Oshawott did the same, sitting next to me.

Misty

The otter was almost the cutest Pokemon I've ever seen besides Togetic as a Togepi. What made it even cuter was that Oshawott and Snivy were sitting together, eating away from the others.

"I guess it's time to start our dinner," Ash announced. "The food is courtesy from Cilan." The man bowed. "Thanks for coming here, you two! Before we begin eating, I wasnt to tell my mom something." Delia sat up straight, expectantly watching her son. "Thanks for letting me go on this Pokemon journey and making sure to keep in touch. Ever since you let me go, I've grown so much and learned so much. I've made so many friends. Thanks for making sure I'm prepared, bringing what I need, every time I leave home-"

"Oh yes, Ash! I even brought you some extra underwear! I'm sure you'll want clean ones!" Delia interupted. Ash grew red in embarrassment.

"Mom! Please don't say that in front of all my friends!"

"Here, Ash!" she responded, ignoring her son's demand. She tossed him a package with clothes inside it. Ash quickly threw it over to Pikachu. I snickered.

"A-anyway, thanks for taking care of me and cooking my favorite meals when ever I'm home. I love you, and happy Mother's Day," he said quickly and sat down.

"Well, thank you, Ash. I guess we can start eating, now."

Pikachu

"I have something to say! Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!" Eevee said to Unfezant.

"Why, thank you, Eevee. I love you."

"I love you more, Mom!"

I felt kinda sad that the kid didn't know that no one here was his real family, but we hid that so he won't have any bad feelings.

"Mom, I want to ride on your back, pleeeeeease?"

"Of course, dear."

"Then the Seedot with the cracked shell said, 'Of course I can! What makes you say that?' Then Cyndaquil told him that he'll drift off if he jumps into the water."

"But I thought that was just a pond," Pignite commented.

"Yeah, but a Gyrados was in there. Then Seedot..."

I began to think about Snivy and Oshawott. They've been gone since lunch, which was about two hours ago. I've seen them go off together before, but not longer than an hour. I started to worry that they'll do something they shouldn't or get in trouble.

"I'm going to look around. I'll be back, though."

"Alright, Pikachu. Then Seedot tried to use..." I left the others to listening to Bulbasaur's stories and headed to the direction of the river, where I saw them go.

I heard to voices talking quietly. I hid in bushes to listen. Currently, Snivy was speaking. I was surprised at what they were talking about.

"...but I really want one, now. Eevee just makes me want one more and more."

"Ah, I agree. Hopefully we'll have one soon."

"I feel happy for Unfezant and Leavanny. They've got Eevee, and it's very possible that they'll get an egg."

Egg? Why are they talking about eggs?

"Yeah, and I bet he or she will be as beautiful as you, Snivy."

"Oshawott, no need to speak like that," Snivy chuckled. "I guess we'll have to wait and see when it happens. I hope we'll have one in time for Mother's Day next year."

Oshawott giggled. "We'll get an egg eventually. Don't worry."

WHAT? They're already talking about having a child? I never thought Oshawott, let alone Snivy, would be talking about this.

"Haha, thanks, Oshawott. I also kinda want one as funny as you."

"Ah, funny as me and and nice-looking like you. I hope she can be a great battler."

"I actually kinda want him to be a boy." I lifted my paw carelessly to scratch my nose. My arm rustled the bushes, alarming the two lovers.

"Oshawott, you hear that? I think someone's spying on us."

"No, what did you hear?"

"It came from that bush over there."

Shoot.

It was silent for a bit, then I was blasted by a painful shot of water.

"GAH!"

"Pikachu?!" Snivy exclaimed.

"U-uh, yes?" Snivy blushed, obviously embarassed. She looked away, rubbing her left arm with her right.

"Y-you didn't hear what w-we were talkin' about, right?" She asked, shying away."

"Uh, heh heh... I did." Snivy cringed and blushed harder. "But, I mean, I comPLETEly support your wish. I mean, this is something everyone should be wanting, right? Like, I mean, y'know, being a parent? It would be a nice experience..." I said nervously.

"I'm glad you do, but you have to respect Pokemon's privacies, Pikachu. You can't keep eavesdropping. Plus, this is the second time you interrupted us," Oshawott attacked angrily.

"I know... I guess I'll leave. I was just wondering why you were gone so long. Heh, I didn't think you would be talking about having an egg!" Snivy turned away, almost ready to run off.

"Pikachu, go away! You should grow up too, y'know! I'm sure that if you were with Bun-... Ban-... Bloon-... uh, Buneary, you wouldn't want to be interrupted, either! Leave now!"

"Oh, alright." I left, chuckling in delight.

Aw, that was pretty adorable. I arrived back to the group. (Hmph, but why did he have to include Buneary in this?)

"Hey, Pikachu. Were you looking for Snivy and Oshawott?" Excadrill asked.

"Yeah, I was just talking to them. They were talking about a pret-ty interesting topic."

"Really? What was it?"

"Oh, nothing. Just a little bit about... what they want before next Mother's Day." I chuckled. "I think I'm going to go take a nap. Cya, Bulbasaur. Wake me up before dinner."

"Uh, sure..." I nodded a thanks, and headed back to Oshawott's and Snivy's private place. I lied down in the bush from before.

"Then there'll be another cousin for Scraggy, Eevee, and Axew. Pikachu and the others are considered my brothers and sisters to me," Snivy said first.

"Wait, so who am I to you?"

"I don't mean siblings biologically. It's just by heart. Of course, you're my mate, right?"

"Ha, right." It was silent for a moment. "It sounds strange to hear that. I mean, I always doubted that I would get a mate since I'm so clumsy and dumb."

"Oh, you're charming in a cute way, Oshawott."

"That's good." Once again, silence. It last for about a minute. "Happy Future Mother's Day, then, Snivy."

She giggled. "Thanks."

From the Author:
I feel bad I didn't get my mom a Mother's Day gift, but we did eat Chinese food for dinner. :P Well, I'll post my third TDiR chapter too, but I'm not sure about the time for As Green Grass Grows. I'll work on it when I can. Feel free to tell me about any mistakes I made!
Please do not put any swearing or rudeness to others in your reviews. Thank you!

Pikachu: ...
Pikachu913: So, how was Mother's Day?
Pikachu: Quite interesting. Y'know, I never even knew my family. I was caught by Professer Oak and never got to see my family again. When I saw that group of Pikachu and Ash almost released me, it reminded me of my family. Of course, I was just a kid, and I didn't know much. I don't need any sympathy, though. I'm already happy here with Ash. I'm sure the others feel the same way.
Pikachu913: Oh. I wasn't asking for that, but I guess that's fine.
Pikachu: I wonder who my mate will be. I guess... perhaps it could...
Pikachu913: Well, Happy Mother's Day, Pikachu.
Pikachu: I'm not a female, dude!... Uh, Happy Future Mother's Day, then.
Pikachu913: Thanks.

Pikachu913 out.
