Chapter 2 – The Ketchum Family (1)
"Staraptor use brave bird!" A man with raven black hair wearing a simple black shirt and wearing blue pants with a red and white jacket called out to his pokemon.
"STAR! RAPTORRR!" The pokemon called out as it is surrounded by a blue aura and hits the boulder and went back into the air. And the boulder smashed into little pieces.
"That… was just so… SO COOL dad!" A 15 years old girl with short orange hair and onyx eyes wearing short black jeans, with light water blue top with a red running shoes screamed out, the man laughed and his Staraptor landed next to him, proud that his daughter praised him and his pokemon.
"Thanks Sora, you know it's actually your turn to try" The man said. Sora nodded and faced her Staraptor.
"Alright Staraptor it's our turn!" Sora said to her Staraptor
"Star!" Sora's Staraptor replied with confidence and flew to the air.
A woman with medium length orange hair with viridian eyes wearing a simple grey cowl shirt and wearing blue jeans was washing the dishes that they used, she smiled at the scene of her daughter and her lover training together and learning a new move together.
"Mommy, where should I stack these dishes?" A girl with long black hair tied into a low pony tail that rests on her right shoulder wearing blue pants and red cowl shirt asked.
"Just put them here Kari, I will put them back together soon" The woman replied. Kari nodded and placed it next to her and watched the pokemons playing with one another and swim in the water.
"Mommy, who's the gym leader of Petalburg city?" Kari asked.
"According to May, it is Max but right now Max is traveling with Brock at the moment so I'm not sure sweety, you can ask your dad about it" The woman replied as she stacked the last pile of dishes onto the pile that her daughter brought.
"HEY ASH! CAN YOU HELP ME HERE!?" The woman called out
"COMING MISTY!" Ash replied and made his way to Misty. Misty got up and took half of the dishes and Ash came and took the other half. Kari continued to watch the pokemons considering which pokemons she should use next to battle the next gym.
"What you thinking about Kari?" Sora asked when she noticed her twin sister was staring into space.
"Oh! Nothing much, thinking about the next pokemons that I should use for our next gym battle" Kari replied
"Well according to dad, the Petalburg city gym uses normal type pokemons, so it's quite logical for us to use a fighting type pokemon instead"
"Yeah, but neither of us have a fighting type" Kari stated.
"I know, but hey dad beat the gym without using any fighting type pokemons right dad?!"
"Huh? What?" Ash asked, not knowing what his two daughters are talking about. Sora sighed and Kari giggled at their father's reaction.
"We're talking about the Petalburg city gym!" Sora said.
"What about it?"
"Who was the gym leader before Max?" Misty asked
"It was Ryan's and Sara's grandfather Norman, man it was a tough battle" Ash said as he sat down between his two daughters. And Misty sitting in between Ash and Kari.
"Really?" Kari asked, Ash nodded and continued "However, I still won in the end"
"May once told me that you immediately battled Norman once you got to Petalburg city with just one pokemon" Misty stated
Ash started to laugh and scratched the back of his head. "Haha… yeah, and Pikachu was the only pokemon at that time"
"Hey dad, tell us how you and Pikachu met" Sora said
"Yeah dad, come on" Kari ushered.
Misty laughed and so was Ash and Ash said "Alright, so this is how we met…"
After telling the story of how he first met his Pikachu, Misty, Jessie and James, Brock, May, Drew, Dawn and Paul as well as telling them about his journey. The girls just sat there digesting the story.
"So dad, you didn't become the champion of the pokemon leagues?" Sora asked
"Haha, yeah at that time I was immature but still went as far as I could" Ash replied.
"But it's so cool that you met so many legendary pokemons" Kari added. Ash smiled at them and ruffled their hair.
"Don't worry I know that one day you guys will meet them too" Ash said to his daughters, Kari and Sora beamed and nodded their heads.
"What does it feel like being the pokemon master dad?" Kari asked.
"Hmm… it feels good and many champion of the pokemon leagues always comes to me to battle"
"Many trainers come to battle that is just so cool!" Sora exclaimed as she stood up.
"ALRIGHT! MY DREAM IS TO BE THE NEXT POKEMON MASTER!" Sora then immediately dashed towards her pokemons and said "Come on everyone! Time to train!" Misty, Ash and Kari were laughing at Sora's rush and actions.
"What about you Kari? What is your dream?" Misty asked.
Kari smiled and said "The Cerulean City's gym leader"
"So you're chasing mom's dream and Sora's chasing my dream" Ash stated as he looked at Misty and grinned. Misty rolled her eyes playfully but never the less smiled.
"VAP!" Kari turned around and saw Vaporeon running up to her
"What's the matter Vaporeon?" Kari asked
Vaporeon pointed to the river bank and said "VAP! Vaporeon"
Kari looked at the river bank and surely there swimming in the ocean was a fish pokemon. "What's that?" Kari asked, before she could get her pokedex out, Ash immediately said "That's Finneon"
"Finneon?"
"Mm-hmm, it's known as Beautifly of the sea because of its tail" Ash explained.
Kari watches the Finneon and saw it jumped out of the river. "I'M GOING TO CATCH IT! Come on Vaporeon!" Kari cried out and ran off with Vaporeon.
"Their determinations are just like yours Ash" Misty stated as she watches Kari battling the Finneon and Sora was cheering for her.
"You got that right Mist. And they got their beauty from you" Misty blushed at Ash's words and Ash laughed as he grabbed hold of her hand and kissed her cheek. Misty smiled and they soon heard Kari screaming "ALRIGHT! I GOT MYSELF A FINNEON!"
"Aaaaand it seems like she got that from you too" Misty added while Ash grinned like an idiot.
"Of course Mist, they ARE the pokemon master's daughters" Ash replied cockily, Misty rolled her eyes and shook her head.
The rest of the day of the Ketchum family in the petalburg woods were enjoyable as Sora and Ash continues to train, Misty teaching Kari more about water pokemons. In the night time, the girls were treating their pokemon while Ash was helping Misty cooking and the parents' pokemon helping them setting up the table and their sleeping area.
