Chapter 48
Facing Erika part 1
After a long sleep and traveling the group finally made to celadon city.
"we're here guys, celadon city," brock said as he sniffs the air." nothing more beautiful than the smell of perfume.
Clyde sniffs the air as well," I admit the smell is really Devine," he said.
"Maybe we'll buy some for the family, I know Carlota would love some," Ronnie Anne said.
'Maybe I'll get some for mom, Leni, possibly Lori and Lola,' Lincoln thought.
"Why don't we head to the Pokémon center and heal our Pokémon," misty said.
"Good idea and we might as well call the family too," Bobby said.
the group head inside the Pokémon center and gave nurse joy their Pokémon, while waiting, the group had lunch, while Lincoln was caring for the egg he got from his gramps," there you go, nice and clean," Lincoln said, until the egg begins to glow." uh guys, I think the egg is hatching!"
the others come to Lincoln," he's right, its hatching," Ronnie Anne said as she sat next to Lincoln.
the top of the egg breaks revealing a head, arms and legs, it yawns and open its eyes and sees Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.
"Aw, it's so cute," Ronnie Anne cued.
"I know, hello little fella," Lincoln said.
"Papa, Mama, the Pokémon said, surprising Lincoln and Ronnie Anne.
"One it's a girl and two, she called us mama and papa, why," Lincoln asked as he pulls out his pokedex.
"Togepi, the spike ball Pokémon, a fairy type, it's considered to be a symbol of good luck. its shell is said to be filled with happiness," dexter said." also when a Pokémon hatches from its egg, it'll imprint the first person or Pokémon it sees."
"That explains it, when togepi hatched, you two were the first things she saw," Clyde said.
"I can't believe it, I'm uncle, I'm so happy," Bobby said teary eyed.
"I wonder how the family will react to this," Ronnie Anne wondered.
"One way to find out," Lincoln replied.
At the loud house,
the louds had just returned Lincoln's Pokémon through the pc transporter," man it really stinks that we have to send Lincoln's Pokémon back," Lana said.
"He needs them Lana, so he can face the gym leaders and the league," Luna said." besides, he'll love the results of firestorm, shell shocker, and tsareena.
suddenly their wrist watches started beeping saying celadon city," guys its Lincoln!" Luan said as everyone else gets excited.
downstairs, in the living room,
Lori, Lynn and Lola were watching the dream boat, suddenly the doorbell rings, Leni comes down to answer it," hi everyone you got the beeps too?" Leni asked.
"Yup, I can't wait to see the new data the kids got," Carlos replied as he, his family, and the McBride's start heading to Lisa's room.
Leni was about to head upstairs, until she noticed Lori, Lynn, and Lola," guys, you're free to join us," she said.
"Are you sure?" Lynn asked.
Leni nods making the three head upstairs.
in Lisa and lily's room,
Lisa was getting the videophone ready as the Casagrande's and the McBride's entered the room, Leni enters along with Lori, Lynn and Lola surprising everyone.
"Are you three ready to face Lincoln?" Lana asked.
the three nodded," yeah, it's time we face him," Lola replied.
"Ok then, but stay in the back, we'll let him know first," Lynn sr. said.
the three understood and went to the back, after that Lisa activates the videophone, the screen turns on showing Lincoln and the others.
"Hi everyone," Lincoln said.
"Hi kiddo, how've you've been?" Lynn sr. asked.
"Just great, and we got so much to tell you," Lincoln said.
"Well, before you tell us anything sweety, there are three girls that want to see you," Rita said confusing Lincoln.
clearing the way, Lori, Lynn and Lola walk up to the screen," oh it's you three what do you want?" Lincoln asked." are you going to say that you made a video making me look like the bad guy?"
"No, we're not Lincoln, we're here to apologize," Lori replied, shocking Lincoln, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Bobby, the McBride's and the Casagrandes.
"Really, you three?!" Lincoln asked surprised.
"Yeah, we had terrible nightmares, I saw myself in your shoes, seeing how terrible I was, not caring about your feelings, forcing you to date Ronnie Anne only to help my relationship with Bobby, I even realized that scoots made me believe that since there's more of us, our saying is always law, your letter was right I am the worst sister ever," Lori said as tears fell from her face." and I'm so sorry, Bobby deserves someone better than me and you deserve a better sister."
"Me too linky, I had the same nightmare too, and it showed how terrible I was, blackmailing you, threatening you, and treating you like a slave, I shouldn't have listened to that judge," Lola said as tears fell from her face.
Lynn was hesitant at first, but Rita put her hand on Lynn's shoulder nodding," I'm also really sorry link, I've finally realized that I was being a sore loser, well I mostly got the senses nocked into me from the same nightmare and saw how my superstitions caused so many problems for everyone," Lynn said." I want to say that I'm so sorry that I blamed you for my first loss and tried to kill you with my bat, (tears fell from her face)."
after their speeches, Lincoln kept a stern look for a bit," so you three finally realized that you're self-center brats?" Lincoln asked.
the three nodded making Lincoln smile," then, I forgive you, but keep in mind that if you ever break my trust, considered yourself disowned," he said.
the three nodded as the dark aura leaves their bodies as Lincoln notices," so what's been happing over bro?" Luna asked.
Lincoln explains their adventures going through the rock tunnel, letting butterfree go, dealing with team rocket in lavender town, catching marshadow and cubone, saving a town and catching a muk as he, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, and Bobby started transferring new data, leaving everyone surprised.
"I can't believe team rocket would take over a beautiful graveyard," lucy said upset." not only that, but you also caught a shadow Pokémon."
"I'm sad and understand that you let butterfree go," Leni said crying."
"Yeah, there could've been another way," Lana said crying.
"it's understandable, it was mating season," Lisa said as she and Carlos looked at the data.
"And the ghost was a Mother Pokémon worried about her baby," maria said.
"And she died protecting her child," Frida said crying," that's the definition of a good mother.
"It also reminded me when I got lost at dairy land and mom found me," Lincoln said as Rita remembered that day." so, what's been going on back home.
"Lori explained what happened back home, how Lynn helped firestorm regain his confidence and evolved after protecting him from bullies, how she confronted scoots and saved shell shockers comic book making him evolve, and Lola telling Lincoln about the mail judge made her what she is, and steenee stood up for her having her evolve as well.
"Wow, you three really have changed, I'm glad and Lynn thanks for helping firestorm," Lincoln said making Lynn happy.
"No problem stink-I mean Lincoln," Lynn said.
"So, what are you guys gonna do now?" Lori asked.
"Well, we're gonna face the gym leader, then help Ronnie Anne and Bobby on their wonder trade," Lincoln replied.
"Cool, but who'll face the gym leader first?" CJ asked.
"I'll face her first, then Lincoln," Ronnie Anne replied.
"Like ladies first," Carlota asked.
"Nope, it's because she has two badges," Lincoln replied.
"That makes sense because you have three badges," carl said only for Carlota to slap the back of his head.
"Say link, what new Pokémon will you send here next?" Lana asked." because I wanna meet muk."
"In due time Lana, but for now we gotta focus on the gym," Lincoln said.
"Well, you should know that we say Gary's battle with her before hearing about the saint Anne, we figured out that the gym leader Erika uses grass types," Luan said.
"Yeah, that means you can use fire types to win," Luna added.
"True, but we shouldn't get to ahead of ourselves," Ronnie Anne said.
"she's got a point, her grass types could probably not just be grass types," Lynn sr. said.
"No worries dad, we just got to think of strategies, and we'll be fine," Lincoln said.
"By the way sweety, what's that you're holding?" Rita asked.
"Oh right, everyone this is togepi, she hatched from the egg gramps gave me, and she sees me and Ronnie Anne as her parents," Lincoln replied.
"Yeah, after she hatched, link and I were the first people she saw, which makes you aunts and grandparents," Ronnie Anne added leaving them surprised.
"I can't believe it, I'm a grandpa, we're grandparents, I'm so happy," Lynn sr. cried.
"I'm too young to be an aunt," Lola said.
"congrants sis, you're a grandma," Carlos said.
"I'm so happy, I'll make a good meal for it when you come home," rosa said.
"togepi say hi," Lincoln said, as togepi waves at them." it also means that lily will have a playmate."
lily giggled at the idea.
"Well, we better get going, we have to get ready to face Erika," Ronnie Anne said.
"Ok kids, we'll be watching the battle from the tv, and Clyde be sure to send pictures of skitty and purrlion," Harold said.
"I'll send them over on the next call dad i promise," Clyde said.
"Me too," Bobby said." and Lori we'll talk after my sister's battle, ok?"
"Sure Bobby," Lori replied as tears of joy fell from her face.' Bobby talked to me, I'm so happy,'
everyone waves goodbye as the videophone screen turns off.
"I'm glad you three finally made amends with your brother," Rita said.
"And let's us all work hard to earn Lincoln's trust," Lynn sr. said as the sisters nod in agreement.
"we're glad we worked things out too, and we'll make thinks right as well," Lori said.
"And we forgive you too Lori," Howard said." but like Lincoln said, if this happens again, we're cutting ties with you.
"Same with us Lori," Maria said.
"I understand," Lori said.
the family gathered around the living room, while Lynn sr. and Rosa were gathering snacks, and Leni turned on the tv and set it to the pokechannel," everyone ready?" she asked.
"Heck yeah we are," Lynn replied as she holds lily in her arms.' first time I'm joining the family on this.'
That's chapter 48, that's part 1, Lori, Lynn, and Lola have finally made amends to Lincoln.
But will bobby take her back after their talk or will he need more time.

can Ronnie Anne win her third badge, we'll see.
