Part 7.
6 years ago, in Goldenrod city.
After Ash received a call on his Xtransceiver
Cynthia: Ash where are we going?"
Cynthia asked in a curious tone.
It had been 3 months since she and Ash began to travel throughout the region. Before she saw him as loud and obnoucous, but now she saw him as loyal and hardworking,
not to mention cute, but she would keep the cute part to herself.
Ash: At the Pokémon Center in Goldenrod city, I got a call from a Pokémon Ranger squad, that said they have a surprise for me at their hideout north of Goldenrod, and
I want to get there soon.
Cynthia: Well the wait is over because it looks like we're here.
As they walked inside they saw a bunch of Pokémon rangers standing around a table.
As they saw Ash walk in they all go excited looks on their faces, and immediately Ash recognized two faces.
Ash: Jack, Solana, why did you guys call me here?
Jack: Whoa, whoa slow down Ash. No hello, what kind of person are you?
Ash: Sorry guys, it's been a hard couple of months, and I tend to get agitated easily.
Solana: It's cool kiddo. Where are the others? All I see with you is the girl with you.
Ash: It's a rough story that I had really rather not get into it right now.
Jack immediately realized it was a sad memory, so he decided to lighten the mood.
Jack: Ah, but you had no problem bringing this little minx with you? Ash I always knew you were a ladies man to the core.
Ash: No-no, you misunderstand, we're not a couple yet!
He then noticed that Cynthia was red, but in rage, and he thought she had hated the idea of being called his girlfriend.
To be honest that made him a little sad, despite being around each other for only a few months, he had grown close to the girl.
Cynthia: Who the hell are you calling a minx?
she asked in outrage, much to Ash's surprise.
Cynthia: I'll have you know I am a lady.
Jack: Sorry, by the way you know us, but we don't know you.
Cynthia: It's ok, and my name is Cynthia.
Jack: Anyways Ash there something odd I wanted to talk to you about. Solana bring him in please.
Solana: Yes sir.
Ash was confused
Ash: Bring wh-
Manaphy: Papa.
To Ash's surprise the creature was Manaphy.
Ash: What is Manaphy doing here and why did he call me papa?
Solana: Well, to be honest were not sure. One day we were in the middle of a meeting and he came in yelling for his papa. We thought at first he meant Jack, but he
bolted to a picture of you we had on a poster, and yelled papa. Even stranger while he kept calling you papa he wouldn't look at the picture of May.
Ash didn't bother respond knowing Manaphy must have known about the betrayal somehow.
Then to the shock of everyone Manaphy turned to Cynthia and called her Mama and jumped into her arms.
Now even Cynthia as shocked as she was couldn't help but cuddle the little thing"
Cynthia: Sure thing little one, I'll be your mama.
Meloetta: "Now this is interesting"
Scene change
May was in the middle of an important Pokémon contest when she suddenly got a very empty feeling in her chest that caused her to lose focus, and lose. Sadly she would
not know what it was for many years.
Time skip year and a half location Pummelo Island stadium
Ash and Cynthia were in attendance in disguise, as they watched Angie getting a trophy for beating Drake. Ash signaled to Cynthia that they should go congragulate her.
As they aproached her she looked up and saw someone who looked just like her old friend/crush Ash, but she was probably just kidding herself.
Ash: Congratulations Angie you've come far since we last met.
Cynthia: I agree. Your Luxray taking out Drake's Dragonite is nothing short of impressive.
Angie: Thank you, but I'm nothing compared to the previous winner, I just wish I knew where he was.
Cynthia: Who was he and why do you want to find him?
Angie: His name is Ash Ketchum, and I want to find him and tell him thank you. It's because of him I gained the courage to start my journey. I thought it was just a
crush, but it was more that I looked up to him like a older brother.
After she said this Ash and Cynthia exchanged looks which Angie noticed.
Meloetta: 'Ash you should let her know.'
Angie: You two know something don't you?
The man sighed and looked around for others and upon seeing they were alone toke off his mask showing the auburn eyes she looked up to.
Angie: Ash is that you?
Ash: Yeah, it's me Angie it's been a while, and I must say, you've come a long way.
Angie: Ash!
Angie yelled out and jumped into the taller teen's arms.
And as Ash calmed down the girl with Cynthia's help he explained everything, and she agreed to keep his secret.
Time skip 1 year and 2 months later
The two were sitting by a lake swimming, and Cynthia caught herself staring at Ash with a blush.
Then she remembered her promise to herself. She gathered her courage and called out
Cynthia: Ash can I can I talk to you.
Ash: Sure Cynthia, what is it?
She gathered her courage once more and let her actions speak for her and kissed him with as much passion and affection as possible. As she pulled back with a glazed
look in her eyes, Ash looked on shocked, but grateful.
She composed herself and looked him straight in the eyes and said
Cynthia: Ash, ever since we started traveling together after everything you lost, you got up and started anew. The faith in yourself to succeed, but not grow arrogant,
and it proves you have a great soul. And the truth Ash is that I've come to love you.
Ash: Cynthia, to be honest when we first met up in Veilstone City I was skeptical about having you travel with me. But as time went by I realized you weren't going
anywhere. Cynthia, I'm new to all this, but if you're sure than we can give it a try.
Cynthia: That's all I ask
Meloetta: "It's about time. I was getting sick of waiting".
As Ash and Cynthia held each other they could only thing of the future as Meloetta sang a soothing song to the new couple.
