(DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POKÉMON OR BEN 10! POKÉMON BELONGS TO GAMEFREAK/NINTENDO! BEN 10 BELONGS TO MAN OF ACTION STUDIOS/CARTOON NETWORK STUDIOS/WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY).
(Now arriving home with Pikachu leaving footprints of himself as Magmortar. He enters his room, and closes the door behind him, before asking himself).
Magmortar: Why Does This Thing Never Time Out When I Want It To? (Pikachu shrugs his Shoulder. But as if to make things worse, they hear a someone knocking on Ash's Door).
Voice: Ash! (Ash and Pikachu recognize it as Ash's Dad voice causing them to Panic). Come Out Here This Instant, Young Man! (Ash panics since he cannot reveal the truth about this to them).
Magmortar: Just A Sec- (He then Clears his Throat before trying to sound himself). Just A Second, Dad! (Then thankfully the Pokétrix logo begins beeping and he ducks under the bed and turns back to normal in time. Cause that's when Ash's Parents open the door to his Room and walk in. And See Pikachu there).
Delia: Ash? (Ash Pops out from under his Bed).
Ash: Hi, Mom. Hi Dad. (Pikachu says nervously).
Pikachu: Uh, good afternoon. (Ash stands up as Pikachu climbs onto his Shoulder. Then his mother asks him).
Delia: What Were You Doing Down There?
Ash: I, um... (Ash reaches down and picks something up). Was Looking for This. (He picks up a pair of Underwear. One that was a little stinky as Pikachu covers his nose as Ash plasters a fake smile on his face hoping they will believe him. Then Meyer asks him another Question).
Meyer: Can You Tell Me Why the Entire House Is Covered in Scorch Marks? (He refers to the footprints he (As Magmortar) made when he was retreating to his room).
Ash: I Can Explain! (But under the scrutinizing look his parents are giving him, he realizes there is no explanation he can that they will accept without revealing his most important secret of all). Truly, I Cannot. (He gives up sitting on his bed with Pikachu by his side).
Pikachu: Sorry.
Delia: And What's This We Hear About You Falling Asleep in Class?
Meyer: I am Afraid We are Going to Have to Ground You, Son. (Ash protests saying).
Ash: But I am Supposed to Go Fishing with Grandpa Mohn and Zoroark This Weekend!
Meyer: You Spent the Entire Summer with Grandpa. Missing One Weekend with Him Will not Be the End of The World. (Ash looks down feeling upset by this).
(Later that Day, Ash is Speaking on his Video Phone with his Grandpa Mohn and Zoroark who are driving down the Road in the Northern Star talking to him through a display screen).
Ash: Please Tell Me It is The End of The World, Grandpa! Tell Me There is a Life-Or-Death, Pokémon-Hero-Needing Situation We Have to Deal with This Weekend.
Mohn: Cannot Overrule Your Parents, Ash.
Zoroark: That is the way it is Ash. (Ash Sighs at this).
(Ash is sitting at his desk in his Room with Pikachu beside him with his laptop computer open and talking to them).
Ash: I Wish I Never Came Home from Our Road Trip.
Pikachu: I kinda feel the same way, I miss all the fun adventures we had. But am I happy to be home as well.
(Back in the Northern Star, Mohn keeps driving along as he tells them).
Mohn: Summer Cannot Last Forever. Everybody's Gotta Get Off the Road Sometime.
Zoroark: And off the Battlefield Pikachu. Just enjoy the days of peace and tranquility while we can. (From the Video Screen Ash says sounding sad).
Ash: Not Heroes Like Us, Grandpa.
Mohn: Ash, do not Make the Same Mistake we Almost Made with Your Father. No Point in Saving the Universe If You Lose Your Family.
Zoroark: Or the ones you hold the nearest and dearest to your hearts. (The Northern Continues driving along).
(Back in Ash's Room, later that evening. Ash was sitting in front of his computer again, now working on the history report his teacher is having him do, before turning it in on the following Monday. While Pikachu was sitting beside him. Ash was feeling bored as he rests his head on his head as he repeats himself the homework assignment he is to do).
Ash: "First-Person Narrative from The Point of View of a Crew Member During the Age of Exploration". (Pikachu says trying to be optimistic about this).
Pikachu: Come on Ash. Think of all the Fun Adventures we had as your inspiration. (Ash looks at Pikachu as realizes that is a great idea. Then Pikachu realizes the problem with that as his Optimism is gone). Granted you cannot use them here. (This Causes Ash to Sigh as he knows that is true and now, he is back to Square One again. He gently pushes his computer away).
Ash: Shoot Me Now. (Then His Pokétrix begins acting up as it shoots a laser from the faceplate to his computer, catching Pikachu by surprise. Then His Computer disappears as Ash realizes what it just did as he jumps back in shock and shouts standing up and staring at the watch). I Did not Mean Literally! And Since When Do You Vaporize Laptops? What's Going on With You? (Ash sighs knowing that without a computer to type his report on, he has only one other choice that could work here). All Right Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures.
(Meanwhile, a Phone somewhere begins Ringing before Iris picks it up and answers it).
Iris: Hello? (Ash then greets her).
Ash: Iris! How's My Favorite Cousin? (Just based on that greeting alone, Ash wants something from her).
Iris: What Do You Want, Ash? (From Iris' end of the Phone Call, Axew walks over, and Iris holds the Phone up to Axew so he can say).
Axew: Hi Ash, Hi Pikachu. (Pikachu then says Hi into the Phone once Ash holds it up to him).
Pikachu: Hi Iris, Hi Axew. (Then Ash Puts the Phone back to his ear and says to Iris).
Ash: I Do not Need a Reason to Keep in Touch with Family. It is Just...It is Always a Pleasure Just to Shoot the Breeze with The Smartest Person I Know. (Pikachu rolls his Eyes at that knowing Ash will not tell Iris the truth about what the watch did to his laptop while Iris says in response to what Ash said).
Iris: Okay, Who Are You and What Have You Done with Ash? (Ash sarcastically says back to Iris).
Ash: Clever. (Ash then decides to try to get what he wants from Iris). In Fact, you are So Clever, I Bet If I Randomly Picked a Topic- Say, The Age of Exploration- You Could Rattle Off a Bunch of Interesting Facts, Enough to Write a First-Person Narrative. (Iris now knows exactly what Ash is wanting from her and why he called her at all).
Iris: Nice Try, Dweeb. But You Need to Experience the Joy of Research Yourself. (Ash is desperate here as he begs her).
Ash: Come On! Do Me This One Favor!
Pikachu: Ash, just tell Iris what the Pokétrix just did, and she could be willing to help you out here. (Ash ignores Pikachu's suggestion as he covers the mouthpiece so Iris and Axew will not hear that from Pikachu. Then Iris continues saying).
Iris: No. You Cannot Just Expect All Life's Answers to Just Come Flying in Through the Window.
Axew: It is not like something is going to crashing your window in the three seconds Ash. (Iris and Axew are Ironically proven wrong when a Shard of a Stone Edge attack comes and then crashes through the window and then into his Floor shattering all the glass onto the floor. Catching both Ash and Pikachu by surprise as they see this).
Pikachu: Woah! Talk about Irony. (Ash quickly says into the Phone).
Ash: Right-Gotta-Go-Smell-Ya-Later! (Ash hangs up the phone and they look out the window to see someone hovering up to the window on a hoverboard. It is someone they recognize, especially once the Iron Face Coverings slide open, revealing a familiar and friendly to them and their family). Mega Aggron? (Instead of the Usual greeting he gives them, he cuts straight to chase).
Mega Aggron: We Need to Talk. (Within Moments, the two of them and Pikachu, now on Ash's Shoulder are flying away from Ash's home on Hoverboards).
