Author's Note: sorry for not updating in so long! you see, i started this chapter a long time ago (as well as a halloween, valentine, and super-hot-springs-fun-time chapter) but then i got writers block so they all got stuck in development hell. But then, tragedy struck when the laptop i had all my stories (as well as everything else i own) died earlier this year in february so they were lost forever. That kind of discouraged me from writing for a while needless to say. Anyway new computer, got bitten by the fanfic bug again so expect an actually finale for this thing, as well as other stories~! So without further to do, chapter 19 of this...story (?)

"O...M...F...G...," these letters fell out of Iris's nouth and all over the nice hard-wood valcano floor.

Everyone gaped at the three hamiliar figures standing in the vole in the wall.

"Sorry we're late to the party," Bryon anime swear-dropped and scratch his back hair," but we were going to miis or bicycle baseball game and it ran pretty late ^_^;."

Bryon was wearing a teem jersery for the Azeala Slowpoke Tails and big humorours floam finger glove. Next to him was Ash who's appearence had becom much worse since we lat saw him 18 billion years ago in chapter like what, 8? His hair was madly long with straks of green and black and oddish blood and had two dragon horns sticking out of 4head. His pupils were splitted like lizard and had no resmeblence to hugemanatees anymore. His sports jersey was all torn and ripped (much like his abs btw) and had huge poison spikes all along his spine. His giratina wings twitched with excitebikement ad his footsies were now super titanium palkia legs except not really because they were really made of solid crystal quarts with giant jurassic park raptor talons. Ash's abs were exposed and super ripped and he now hasd a girafaridge tail excpet instead on a chimp-chomp it was Ashes old human face - happy lines and all/. Falkner was there too and he was dressed up as a slowpoke tail but not because he was the team's mascott or anything but his fursona.

"you guys really picked the worst possible time to come back in the story...," gary remarked with annoyed sassafrass.

"well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUSe us princess," Bryon said with defenced steel walls of fortitude and holes," but while uoy losers were all dying on a train ride and having super wicked cool pool jamms my new son Ash here ,"Bryon said putting his arm around Ash's monster head proudly," slamdunked the baseball in the goal and won the All Stars Tournament and was declarded the Baseball Cyclist Warrior King of Thames."

Pikabert felt very woozy. Ash was back and while he did certainly look all different and hunky, he wasn't trying to kill everyone or kidnapp peeps like the last time! It was like something oout of his sweetest dreams! Even though she was grazed by one of Ritchie's energy blasts and was in sencere pain, Misty swooned over the site of the newly muscular Ash again. The very prescence of Ash and his fergalicious abonmial muscles gave Brock his eyesight back and he saw the sun for the first time in a hundred years. Party Kings Cilan and Crest were given their freedom and no longer a part of the evil twin hivemmind that ran their lives through the power of Ash's hunky dreamboatness.

Yup Everyone was super happy to see Ash again...

"rrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh," Ritchie glowered at the new monstrouous dreamboat.

...well almost everyone...

"HOW..." Ritchie grumbled lowly anf reggaey at Ash," The Crystal Arceus Shiny Dragon should have fuesd with you 110 percent by now! You should be an unstoppable killing machine bent on destroying all life in existence! Why r you not this!?"

"That's what i've been trying to tell you all this time Ritcchie..." Pikabert started and got comfy for expositionary tales of fairies and pirates. "here is onl one way to sedate the thrist for destruction that Calgon has...and that secret weapon is -Love. Fatherly Love."

All was quiet in shocked stillness until Gary broke out into hysteric laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHa i just realized that Brock uses rock type pokemon and his name sounds like rock," Gary cackled with jokey hallucinations. Misty got annoyed face and Brock used his eye of the gorgan to (temporarily rexlax ;^) ) petrifye Gary.

"i guess we should call him Gary STONE now instead of Gary Oak," Iris quipped and Chilli and Crest laughed for the first time in their entire miserable lives.

"What do you mean 'the love of a father'," Ritchie asked with bitter resentment.

"Simple, as the old legends states The SCAD will shoow up oncce every so-and-so years to procreate with a maiden to create the next SCAD, or Pokeborn. Afterwards the old SCAD will leave immediately causing the pokeborn to experience all kinds of abandonment issues and teenage by my chemical romance angst. This was kept at bay by Gtehisi, taking upon himself the role of dada until the tragic events Cinnabarbed island lab accident. ince then Ash has had several father figures in his life- me, Professor Oak, Professor Rowman, Professor Not-Elm, etc and now Bryon." Pikabert ears dropped sullenly," However in your case Ritchie the upercrusts found you to ve defected and took you away when you were a wee lad so you never had a dad and the SCAD-ness inside of you twisted you up inside. It was...so hard to watch you in so much pain from a far for so long...son..."

everybody except Gary (because he was stoned lol xD) stared at Ritchie expectantly, no idea of what he was going to do. And when dhe did do omething it was a thing no one expected the cruel 10 year old freak to do - his knees buckled down and he began to sob like Iris had sobbed so many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times i this yale.

"Albert...," he chocked out the words as he rubbed his super-soaked eyes," i've tried sso hard, i-i caught so many pokemon friends, i made it to the Indigo League! i got so far dad! i even caught myself a pikachu in an attempt to make you jealous...but...but then i met the Evil Consoluer Leader! He was so nice and smooth like jelly jiggler so i joined him to help him destroy the world! all of my acomplishments...but end the end they din't even matter!"

Ricthie clenched his head and cried towards the PokeHeavens," WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR!?"

Iris sniveled and her eyes grew watery and Misty's eyes became Misty.

Pikabert outstreched a paw out to his son. "it's not to late Ritchie my boy. Come with us, we can save the world together and finally be a family and participate in sack-racing."

Bryon came over and placed his strong hand on Ritchie's shoulder. "It's never to late when it comes to family."

Falkner bent down beside Ritchie. "y father is no longer with me physically but he's always with me in my heart"

Chilli and Crest also strolled over to hug the Ritchie. "Our familiy consists of me and my two brothers and the giant calamity being we formally served and you don't see us complaining," Chilli said with comforting.

Misty stepped forward as well. "i have three beautiful sisters and a cousin who works at the cleaners and while we sometime's argue and fight on whos the cutest boy in Big time Truck, are always there for each other."

Iris sat nexed to Ritchie," i'm an only child with no family what so ever but i have a bunch of cool friends who love me and are sort of like a family even though we are not connceted by blud"

-Meanwhile at another place at this very momment-

Mr. Fuji was lying on a foldy chair in the hot bahamamen sun chillaxing and working on his tan while hunky surfer dudes (but not as hunky as monster!Ash) danced and bikini clad laddies fought Davey Jones because he was a shoobie.

Mr. Fuji then sense something and lowered his shades. "yep it's just like i said before, i'm a granddaddy to everone! even undeserving hooligaans like you lol" Mr. Fuji then adjusted his sunglasses back into place and cozied down.

-Back to them-

Brock was next to speak," i have hundreds and hundreds of brothers and sister and our bond is stronger than stone, and i'm not just saying that because i turned they into stone!"

Ash crept over and wrapped his face-tail around Ritchie.

"y-you guy...," Ritchie sniveled in amazement.

"Hey Gary," Iris said turning to him," you should get in on this!"

However Gary was still under the spell of rock and couldn't move or talk.

Bryon brow furrowed. "That Gay guy is a real jerk."

"So what do wou say Ritchie," Pikabert asked again," won't you join us?"

"i...i...," Ritchie struggled to get the words out and then pushed everyone off of him," i can't! my-my soul is too unclean and tainted to join yoou guys. it is to late for redemption for me."

Ritchie walked over to the ledge of a nearby crevice.

"Son...," Pikabert pleaded thinking the worst.

Ritchie turned aorun and threw an object at them. "Here! Here's the key to the Evil Consol of Darkness Leader's room! You must go and stop him! His room's just up ahead! Go!"

"but Ritch...," Iris sadded.

But it was to late. After delivering his finl words Ritchie fell backwards into the crevice his body instantly destroyed by the molten lava and fire of the valcano.

Misty buried her face in Brock's shoulder and Chilli and Crest bacame all sad again.

"Ritchie...," Pikabert stammered in disbelief.

"WELL THANK THE POKEHEAVENS," Gary said just now recovering from his stone imprisonment and not remembering anything from during it," well you know what thy say, nothing cleanses like fire."

Everyone glared at Gary and they all silently left in direction of evil concil room and punched Gary on the way.

Pikabert was the last to follow though. He sat there at the edge of the crevice looking down into the depths.

"Ritchie...even though it was only for a little while...i'm glad," a single tear rolled down his electric charged cheek," ...that i was finally able to hold you again my son..."

Pikabert then raced off to cathc up with his comrads.

The End is drawing near...
