Chapter - 20







Richard Ketchum, Considered the strongest Champion in the whole of the Kanto league till he mysteriously disappeared from the face of the Pokemon world, Alas he was always there in The Notorious And Treacherous MT Coronet, Training and researching about the whereabouts of various Evil Organisations and Providing it to The G-Men, He was after all a shadow,






He always wanted to go back to his wife and only son, But now though, In the past 6 months evil Organisation after organisation has been brought down, Team Rocket, then Magma and Aqua, Plasma and Galactic and only Flare was left which would be over and out within the next few months,  Then he would be a free man, Technically. Easier said than done he thought as he got off His Trusty Charizard and Stepped his foot on The grounds of Lances House in Jhoto,






He was there for giving off the final papers to Lance, And Now he's a free man, Technically. but it's complicated so he goes to Meet Prof. Oak,






Prof. Oak Is a world-renowned scientist who studied the relationship between a Pokemon and its trainer, But he wasn't always a Pokemon Professor, Till Richard Came along and Dethroned him, But That didn't mean that the old man didn't keep his Pokemon at the top of their game in their own right, that is,






But The old man never expected what is to come, Because as soon as he came into the lab from the fields after feeding the Pokemon, all he heard was a slap that could put a Double Slap to shame, Old man was scared as when he left only Delia was inside helping him with his research since she was only here for a week before going back to Alola to Ash and Serena.






The old man stood wide-eyed, his eyes darting between the man and Delia, Never in his life would he have thought that he would see his face again, Not after Blue died, "Ri...Richard" He shuttered, as he moved forward to have a look because he could very well be hallucinating right now,






He goes over and feels his cheeks looking into his eye, a sudden look of anger passes his eyes, and the sound of a hard slap was heard in the lab, "I guess I deserved that too" Richard muttered, both of his cheeks now red, "Oh you deserve much more mister" Delia gritted and Walked outside back home,






Richard Gave a pleading look to the old professor, who decided to ignore him, Richard headed or basically ran the way Delia went, he also noticed that his Charizard had left, He was sure that Delia decide to have a flight, It was very usual for Charizard to take her on flights,






Richard made his way to his house, which by no means is how he left it because now it looked waaaayyyy more modern, still in the same style of architecture, The garden was still maintained, probably by Delia, he thought, In the garage was a Porsche Panamera Turbo S in white, Delia's daily, She is the manager of The Trio's Branch in Veridian City and when she's in Alola she takes Ash job as the Head of Project Alola, Under Aether Paradise, But because Ash is currently in Alola he takes care of that part, So Delia helps out in Veridian.






Charizard landed with a thud, Delia got off and patted the Fire Type before going inside the house, Richard followed since she left the door open, He knew he was in whole lotta trouble, He knew that his son was gonna have his first child with his 'soulmate' as Lance put it, He had done his research but from What lance said Ash was more. Much more dangerous than him, He was more of everything, More ruthless, More reckless, More Lethal and Much more Dangerous to deal with.






Meanwhile in Alola






"Welcome to our humble abode and make yourself at home!" Serena exclaimed excited, It was summer vacation and Serena and Ash decided to invite the ultra guardian squad to their house(Beachside Mansion) in Alola for their summer vacation, Because A, who doesn't like a beachside vacation and B, It's funnnnn.






Serena was the one who greeted the kids at the door because Ash had to go to his office at Aether, The kids had directly flown from Galar for the vacation, "I hope you guys had a good flight" Serena asked, "Good!. The flight was amazing, Who would have thought that I would fly first freaking class at 18!" Sophocles shouted, Serena had to cover her ears, just then the doorbell rang,






Emma, the head maid opens the door, And the girls stare at awe at Ash, He was wearing a deep blue three-piece Armani suit that hugged his toned body like a second skin, The girls were certainly starstruck but Serena was drooling, Ash chuckled and waved at his guest before going over to Serena and saying, "You might wanna close that mouth sere, Don't want any Flies going in there now do we?" He whispered, wiping off the drool.






Serena soon composed herself and huffed while mumbling, "It's the hormones" mainly to herself,






Ash then Went and said his hello's to all the kids being completely oblivious to the girls mildly & friendly flirting to which Serena glared at them, As soon as Ash went to their room, Serena asked Emma to take the kids to their rooms, since everyone was tired they all decided to get some sleep, Ash and Serena and Grace who just came back from teaching the students of the pokemon school the basics of Ryhorn Racing,






The three adults and the little bean inside of Serena were having coffee, she was having fruit juice, the sun was slowly setting in the background clearly visible through the glass windows, The tv was on and Serena was watching Brooklyn nine-nine, Having a hearty laugh, The Alolan sunset was always beautiful and still continues to be,






It was around seven. The sun had set and a cool wind blew across the beach. Ash had decided to order some food for the kids, But then Mallow, Lillie,  Lana  & Sophocles wanted to go home for a while, So ash asked them to Get ready, Ash went to the garage, He selected his Land Rover Defender, A custom made sweet machine in A triple black spec, Modified with over 850 hp, Straight piped and one of ash's more loved babies, He got it recently, it was in works for over 4 months, And it was luxurious A.F, He parked the car at the driveway.






The four kids Kept their bags in the Back, Sophocles sat upfront with Ash, Lillie, Lana and Mollaw sat behind, Ash was wearing a Black hoodie and Nike white Shorts, he also wore white Balenciaga Trainers, He connected his iPhone mini with the car for Apple car play and played out Monster by Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber






He had dropped Sophocles at his home, He then went over to Mallows restaurant and ordered food, He told them to Pack it up and decided to drop Lillie and Lana by the time the food gets ready so he and Lillie got back in the car,






Ash knew that Gladion was in town, and so was Lusamine and Mohn as well, He knew that because he had talked to them at work, He is the boss of the project but the whole project was under the Aether Paradise, Which meat that he owned a share of the company, Well he was young and didn't know what to do with his money apart from Living an essential and down to earth life despite living a life of luxury ever since meeting Ilene at Rota when he was 12,








He waited in the car as Lillie rang the bell, A while later, The Mansion Butler opened the door, His eyes widened at seeing the little Mistress of the mansion, He immediately called out to the other members of the house, Quicker than a quick attack, Lusamine, Mohn and Gladion stood by the door eyes wide, Lillie hadn't come home in over 12 months, The longest she stayed away from home, She was immediately embraced into a hug by her mother and father, She started to choke and turn blue, So she choked a bit, Gladion also hugged her before making his way over to Ash, Who had made his way outside, He stood by the hood of his car leaning on it, His phone in his hand as he texted his soon to be wife,






Gladion made his way to Ash and talked with him, A while later The whole family was talking with him, "You have to Bring your girlfriend and You guy's moms, for dinner here one-day" Lusamine says, "Of course" Ash smiles, He had high respect for this women, She was also like his own mother when he was a trainer attending Pokemon school back in the day,






A while later Ash makes his way back to Aaina's Cafe and get the food and made his back home, He did see that His New Maybach S-Class had finally come, He had it custom specified, He wasn't particularly a fan of the C-Class style tail lamps. But you gain some you lose some, This particular Maybach was part of his Duo, Made in accordance with his Maybach GLS 600.






A deep and rich but dark black, in satin, Dark 22" wheels, White interior and can carry 5 people with utmost luxury, He was just waiting for the cabriolet to be launched so that he can get one to actually drive around and not be driven, or he could get a Bentley.






It was an early morning, Dinner was too good and everyone was asleep, Well everyone except Ash and Serena and the pokemon, Ash who had gone for his run, Serena who was busy drooling over him and Grace who also entered the pier and poured herself some tea, chuckling at her daughters' lovesick expression, A mother knows best for their child,






Today Delia was gonna come back home from Kanto, Grace had decided to go and pick her up from the airport since it was a Sunday and She wanted the soon to be a married couple a day for themselves and the kids. May, Dawn and Misty were wide-eyed at the PDA, that occurred in front of them, Ash and Serena very likely sucking each other's faces off, Needless to say, they were scarred for life with that one, A while later, The boys, Drew, Barry, Goh, Kenny and Chloe and Iris made their way down, Listening to Misty, Dawn and May make fun of the 'older' couple.






A lot had happened in the time Ash and Serena stayed away from school, Goh and Chloe had become a couple, A lovely one at that, They were polar opposites who were perfect for each other, Goh's outgoing and fulfilled personality was and is a total contrast to Chloe's more personal and refined and silent one, But they loved each other very much and were going in for a strong 5 months,






Next up was May and Drew, To say that was expected would be correct, all the two needed was a push and They were together, A game of spin the bottle, A bit of jealousy was enough for the two to realise their feeling for each other,






Misty had caught a few more water types along with Iris as well who caught dragon types, Barry and Kenny were still the same, Same carefree attitude. Barry would go around Fining people for no damn reason, Kenny still trying to be with Dawn, But failing miserably,






Serena had already declared a no cursing policy, A no-drinking policy was useless because, well there wasn't any alcohol other than vine and Champagne in the house, which too expensive and strong for the consumption of 18 to 19-year-old kids,






Everyone was lounging in the living room, Serena was on the couch with the other girls, Crying watching St. Anne and the pregnancy hormones weren't exactly helping, Even Misty and Iris gave out a few tears, The boys were Training with Ash, And it was difficult, not just for the Pokemon but for the guys as well, Because Ash, well Ash is G-Man, A high ranked one at that, so yeah, The boys were in for a ride






2 hrs later, Under the hot sun, The girls were having the time of their life's tanning themselves, Serena sat in the shade with her glasses scrolling on her phone next to Lillie who had just made her way along with gladion who wanted to discuss some things with Ash, Dawn and May were on the private beach laying down flat on their towels, Misty was in the water swimming with the water Pokemon,






Blastoise, Greninja, Samurott & Milotic were having a race, Dragonite, who was Essentially Serena's bodyguard was next to her, Both Haxorus's were sparring playfully, It was quite ironic, Ash's Haxorus was very young but it could still pack a punch and can beat Iris's Haxorus, Even her Dragonite was in awe at Ash's,






Kiawe's Charizard was trying to size up to Ash's who was a good 4 feet taller and bulkier and much more agile as compared to Kiawe's, Iris's Gabite was trying to Learn Dragon dance away from everyone especially Serena, Espeon, Ninetales and Both Ash's and Serena's Sylveon's were lounging with Ash who was inside the house, He was working on some top-secret files, Pikachu was next to Serenas Sylveon,






The bell rang and Ash got up and went towards the door, He saw Grace, His mom and a man, His breath suddenly hitched, A surge of Aura and Psychic energy passed through him, The man in front of him, The one man, his mom taught not to despise but he did anyway Because he left her and him when he was a kid,






His father, Richard Ketchum.
