Ash Ketchum: I Found My Destiny.

Chapter 3 - Spill Delia!

The sun was shining. The Pidgey were singing. And there was a peaceful breeze in the air. Oh yes, it was a b-e-a-utiful day! (A/N: Sorry Bruce Almighty Moment There!) It's a shame that no-one in the Ketchum residence was enjoying it. Inside everyone was depressed. Brock had been making an endless amount of jam and kept them in various jars around the house, Delia had been cleaning endlessly and tidying up things that weren't even messy, Misty had locked herself up in her room and hadn't come out since the incident and Dawn had died in a ditch somewhere...

...No wait +Scan's Room+ she's still here...¬_¬

Dawn was watching endless re-runs of a Pokémon Contest in Sinnoh.

Brock and Delia were in the kitchen and the only sound was of the T.V Dawn was watching. Suddenly Brock heard some squeaking from the stairs. Misty appeared in the doorway.

"M-Misty? Are you okay?"

She nodded. Brock looked at her face. Her eyes were puffy and red and her face held no emotion.

"Are you sure?"

She nodded without making a sound and made her way outside past Delia who was cleaning dishes. Delia didn't seem to notice her.

Misty's Pov:

I made my way to the backyard till I reached the pond me and Ash were a few hours ago. I sit down near the bank. No-one slept for two nights in a row, well maybe Dawn did. Brock only slept for a couple of hours before he woke up at 6am today to make jam out of berries he found in the garden. I think his just trying to think of something to do. Delia's been acting distant and she won't speak. She's missing her son. No-one's eaten anything, were all too worried for Ash.

I feel tear's forming from the corners of my eyes, I brush them away. No Misty! Be strong! Ash wouldn't want you to be upset!

"He promised me he'd come back soon..." I can't help it anymore, I burst into tears and even the Goldeen and Seaking can't stop the tears now.

"It's my fault." I gasp. I turn behind me.

"Wh-" I stop in mid-sentence and see Delia behind me. That's the first word anyone's heard from her in days!

"M-Mrs Ketchum!"

"Please I told you before you're like my daughter so call me Delia..." She gives me a soft smile that lasts only for a couple of second's.

I try to break the silence.

"Like the Daughter you never had eh?"

She shift's around uncomfortably and then say's. "Yeah, of course!"

I smile to her. Then remember something. "What did you mean it's your fault?"

She lets out a huge sigh. "It's my fault; I should have told Ash about...her and his father..."

I nod. "Umm...Mrs Ketchum? If it's not too much trouble...could you tell us what's going on?"

She still look's to the grass, then she looks into my eyes. "Yes, it's about time I tell the truth..."

We both walk back into the house and gather everyone around into the living room where Dawn was.

"Brock could you call Professor Oak and Gary? I think they should hear this..."

He nodded and went to call on the VideoPhone. (A/N: Is that what they're called?)

Delia walks out of the room and I go to sit on the one-seater armchair on the opposite side of Dawn.

Brock come's back and sits on the sofa with Dawn. Delia come's back with an unfamiliar baby blue box that I've never seen before. But I guess that's what Ash and her were fighting about a few days ago.

"They said they'll be here in about five minute's ." Brock said to her. She sat down in between Brock and Dawn. I lean in towards the blue box which Delia had been holding in her hands all this time. She sees us trying too pear in but clutches it closer to her body.

I lie back down in my seat and wonder what Ash is doing right now...Is he okay? Wait of course he is Misty! He has all his Pokémon with him, including Charizard!

His been through way more worse situations than this!

My thoughts are broken when the doorbell rang. Everyone jumped.

"I'll get it." I said.

I opened the door and saw both of the Oak's standing there. They seemed happy and had a polite smile.

"Come in." As soon as they saw my face they knew this was serious.

The Professor sat in the last armchair and Gary leaned by the window next to his Grandpa.

Delia sighed.

"Well...I guess this is it..."

(

A/N: So how'd' ya like that chapter? Hehe, sorry about the cliff-hanger! But I really think that it would have suited to end the chapter there! +Dodge's Bullet's!+

Umm...Next chapter will be a mega-long one? ^.^")
