Santa swap reminder: 30, 43, 121, and 141. (Take your time on these - the drawing's not gonna be done 'til pretty close to Christmas XD)
Clian's reaction upon entering the kitchen was, perhaps, to be expected. “Did you do this on purpose?!”
Miette cautioned a glance behind her, despite already knowing the magnitude of mess she had caused. Smoke still drifted from the closed pot on the stove, bubbles cascaded from the sink, and every inch of counterspace was coated in flour.
"No."
"A likely story," sighed Clian, picking up his favorite spatula and cradling it like his first-born. "I have seen your 'attempts' at culinary work before..."
"So you shouldn't be too surprised." Miette smiled. "Besides," she continued, stepping closer to him. "Does this mean I'm going to be... punished?"
“Don’t tempt me.” Cilan said without looking at her, though he figured that was preferable than the disaster zone they currently stood in.
Miette waited until Cilan had loaded the dishwasher before speaking again. “Do you ever think we should just stop this?”
"Stop what? You ruining my kitchen? Good Arceus, I sorely wish..."
"Flirting," she purred, now snaking her arms around his waist and pressing herself against his back. She smiled as she felt his body shudder.
"We will save that for later." Cilan muttered. "Now, if you mind, I'd like to get this cleaned up."
Miette shrugged and disengaged herself. "Fine. Be murky."
She turned to leave then felt a sudden smack on her rear. Facing Cilan again, she saw him waving the spatula.
"That," he said. "Was merely a taste."
“How dare you?”
Silence passed as they stared at each other. With a sigh, Cilan waved his hand to dismiss her. They'd get into that once things were spic and span again...
zdbztumble replied to your post “Is there a fan fic where Daisy teaches Misty how to drive?”
Not exactly that; a group fic I worked on has Misty the passenger while Lily's driving
Interesting. I kind of wonder if the entire Waterflower family knows how to drive or if it’s just Daisy.
Honestly, I think it would be fucking hilarious if Misty learned to drive while Ash, limited by his nomadic lifestyle, doesn’t. Then when Ash flies home to the Viridian Airport, he’s expecting his mom or a bus to take him home, but no, it’s Misty in Daisy’s car. Poor jetlagged Ash is expecting a pleasant drive home but it ends up being a 0 to 90 in 7 seconds ordeal since Misty had to learn to drive from Daisy and picked up bad habits along the way. Ash is basically hanging on to his hat the whole way because, of course, Misty likes driving with the top down.
Hey, this is really cutting it close to the deadline, but I’m happy it’s finished! This is for @zdbztumble pokeshipping fankid team contest. I really like the pink haired child character that Misty was with in that strange promo thing from the first movie. I think she’s the perfect template for a pokeship fankid since she’s about as close as we have to one. i like that she’s not a carbon copy of her paraent’s and that her design can stand on it’s own. This fic turned out way longer and more serious than I intended, but I feel that I’ve created a decently realistic feeling dynamic between the characters. I hope everyone will enjoy it! (And catch some secrets I put in for you guys)
“Ash, wake up!”
“Yeah… I will…” Ash’s words trailed off as he let out a yawn and pulled the blanket closer. There was a sharp jolt from the mattress under him. Ash groaned and pulled the blanket over his head, but even with it he could still feel Misty's eyes burning a hole in the back of his head. He waited, but Misty didn't move or speak. Ash tried not to think about her standing over him, or how long she would be there. He could hear Misty’s voice in his head telling him to “get up and stop being a lazy bum who sleeps till noon,” as she always so eloquently put it. This was it, Ash had been living with her for long that he had a mini version of her in his head. But Ash didn't mind.
“Ok... ok,” Ash said at last with a yawn, then tossed the blanket aside. “I'm getting up now.”
“I wasn't timing it, but this feels like a new record,” said Misty. She was probably smirking at him, even if Ash didn't see it, he definitely had the feeling that she was. “Your breakfast is cold, so I left it in the microwave for you,” Misty said as she walked out the room.
“Thanks, Mist!” Ash smiled. It was nice having Misty around.
Ash slid his feet into his slippers, and nearly jumped when he felt the stone cold interior of the slippers. Ash shuttered for a moment, it was as if he had been hit by an ice beam. He gave his feet a good shake and stood up. Ash pulled open the closet door, put on the warmest bathrobe he had, and walked to the kitchen. Ash was ready for the day, but more importantly, his breakfast.
“How are my favorite girls doing?” Ash asked with a sleepy smile as he started the microwave.
“You sleep too much, Papa,” said Maya.
“Oh, do I? Did Mama tell you that?”
“Uh-huh,” the young girl said with a cheery nod.
“Well… uh…” Ash trailed off into a yawn. It was too early for snappy comebacks. “She's probably right.”
“Nice to hear,” Misty said with a smirk.
Maya giggled, and Ash yawned again as he opened the refrigerator. He scanned the inside for something to drink. His eyes fell on the note reminding him not to drink Maya’s juice boxes. It was just one time, and it wasn't his fault he was half asleep and thirsty. His eyes quickly moved off the note in search of something else. He had plenty of choices, but no matter how hard he looked or what he moved, Ash couldn't find the milk.
“Hey Mist, do you know where the milk is?” he asked.
“We actually just had the last of it,” Misty replied.
Ash looked up from the fridge to see Maya drinking a half full cup of chocolate milk. Ash turned back to scan the fridge once again. Pinap juice would have to do.
Ash sat down next to his daughter and Pikachu. He smiled as he watched Maya rub Pikachu’s belly while the electric pokemon rested in her lap. Her pink hair was in a ponytail, and she was wearing the magikarp pajamas Delia had given to her on her last birthday. Ash placed his arm across her shoulder. Maya looked up at him for a second, her eyes were just like her mother’s, then she smiled and leaned on his side. This was a moment Ash didn’t want to end, but his stomach begged to differ as it rumbled to get his attention. Ash looked across the table to watch Misty fumble with a pile of maps that she had laid out on the table.
“You mind,” Ash asked as he placed his plate on the few inches of table near him without map on it.
Misty looked up at him. “Oh, sure,” she said casually.
Misty slid the maps over to let Ash put the rest of his plate down. He made short work of his reheated blueberry waffle and eggs as he watched Misty scan the maps in front of her. The maps were creased in every direction and covered in notes that Ash had made during his time in Unova. Misty methodically read every note and scribble. Most of them simply pointed out places that had appetizing food or were good for fishing, but Ash had also crossed out the gyms he had beaten. A little doodle of the gym badge and encouraging message to himself accompanied the date he had beaten each gym. Ash had forgotten about those notes. He looked to the town they were currently in and sighed as he silently read the date next to the gym. Misty looked up at him again.
“Did you find it?” she asked.
“Huh?”
“The campground?”
“Oh… I, uh, wasn't looking, sorry,” Ash said with a sheepish grin.
“Well, I don't think it's on these anyway,” Misty sighed.
“It should be,” Ash casually responded.
“I know it should be, but it's not,” said Misty, a touch of frustration in her voice. “Now, would you mind helping me? Just to make sure it isn't on here.”
“Sure, Mist.” Ash knew better than to say no to one of Misty's definitely-not-a-question commands.
Misty slid over one of the maps and pointed. “We're here.”
“I know where I parked us,” Ash snorted.
“Well your detours last night say otherwise,” Misty shot back.
“Yeah? Well it would have been helpful if someone was looking at the map.”
“What do you think I'm doing now?”
“It's your fault for not doing it sooner!”
“Well, it's your fault for-” Misty stopped talking as her eyes glanced towards their daughter. Ash followed her gaze and noticed that Maya had slid closer to the window, farther away from them. She didn't look scared, but Ash didn't find that comforting at all.
“Just…” Misty paused for a sigh. “Just put the maps away. I'll go buy some new ones when I go out.”
“Sure,” sighed Ash. He got up and rolled the maps together, then threw them back into the passenger glove box.
Misty slid down and sat across from Maya. Pikachu was still in Maya’s arms as she slowly pet him.
“I'm sorry, honey. We didn't mean to do that.” Misty's voice was soft and motherly, but it also contained a small amount of guilt in it. She leaned forward and kissed their daughter on the forehead. “Is there anything we can do to make it up to you?” Maya shrugged at the question. “How about if Uncle Brock comes on our next trip? Or maybe we can all stay at Nana's house when we get back home? Or how about... a tickle-attack?” The corners of Maya's lips curved into a smile. “Oh! Is that a smile I see?” Maya tried to cover her face with her hands, but she let out a few giggles. Misty couldn't help herself from letting out a few as well.
A wide grin formed on Ash's face. “Watch out! Papa is coming in for a tickle-attack!”
The room filled with laughter when Ash dove in and began his tickle attack. It was super effective. Even Pikachu wasn't safe; Maya squeezed him tightly as she rolled in her seat. Misty was in a giggling fit, despite not even being tickled. And Ash was enjoying every second of it. This was one of those moments that made Ash happy to have this family. Ash wasn't proud of how he got into the situation, but he was happy to be with his wife and daughter. His family was everything to him, and more.
It was a few minutes before the tension of the previous conversation had disappeared from everyone's system, give or take an extra minute of tickling just for fun.
“How was that, Kiddo? Got everything out now?” Ash panted. Another minute and Ash might have passed out from exhaustion, or at least, he felt like it.
Maya let out a few more giggles. “Nuh-hu, there’s a thing I wanted to ask.”
“What is it? You’d better tell me before another tickle-attack comes,” Ash said, waving his fingers.
“I've been thinking about my starter,” she said with a nervous smile.
“What did you choose?” Ash and Misty immediately said in unison.
“I was thinking about getting a magikarp.” Maya’s smile widened, but she still looked a little nervous.
“So you want a powerful Gyarados like Mama has?” Misty smiled and playfully flexed her arms. Maya giggled.
“You could double team at the gym,” Ash said with a snap of his fingers. “No one can stop this amazing family attack!” Ash said his best announcer voice while making a flailing motion for an attack.
“What do you think?” Asked Maya.
“I dunno, Mama. What do we think?” said Ash with a smirk.
“Sounds like a good choice to me,” Misty said, nodding with a smile. Maya bounced in her seat, whereas Pikachu tried his hardest to stay on. “Your pokemon journey is going to be amazing if you choose a magikarp!”
Maya stopped bouncing.
“But you’ll have to start practicing early if you want to use a magikarp, they can be difficult to handle when they evolve,” Ash noted, thoughtfully.
“Then can me and psyduck go practice?” the young girl asked with a smile. Misty put her hand up to her chin and appeared to be in deep thought, but the small smile in the corner of her lips let Ash know that she was just pretending.
“Alright,” Misty said with her smile now directed towards Maya. “Go put your snow clothes on and I'll let Psyduck out.” And then, as if on cue, the yellow duck Pokemon left its ball in a flash of light and appeared on the floor next to Misty. Maya ducked under the table and ran to the bedroom closet, while Pikachu was left in her seat.
“Pika…” the pokémon groaned.
“Oh, please,” Ash rolled his eyes. “You'll survive.”
Pikachu hopped under the table, then back up on the other side into Misty's lap. Pikachu shot a grin at Ash. Ash then got up and placed his plate in the sink. He turned around to sit back down, but noticed that Maya's quarter full glass of milk was still on the table. She probably wasn't going to finish it, and he was still a little bit thirsty anyway. Ash pick up the glass and down the remaining chocolate milk in one gulp. Misty's mouth was agape as she watched Ash.
“Ash!”
“What?”
“You… she… nevermind.”
Ash shrugged and put the glass in the sink. Psyduck brushed passed him and walked out the door. When Ash sat back down Misty was staring at him with a wide grin.
“I told you she'd want a water type,” said Misty.
“Hold on,” Ash said, arms crossed. “I didn't know what starter I wanted when I was six. There's still plenty of time for her to change her mind.”
“You didn't know what starter you wanted the the morning you got Pikachu. But I think you got the best one.” Misty tickled Pikachu. “Isn't that right, Pika-pal?”
“Pika!” the pokemon exclaimed excitedly between giggles.
“You know, she does like Pikachu,” said Ash, scratching his chin.
“ I don’t know. she sounded more confident then usual,” Misty said in a sing-song voice.
“A Magikarp isn't going to be easy to raise. She might not want one when she see how bad it is.”
“Believe me, Ash, I know how hard it is. But, it would be a great learning experience, and besides, was Pikachu really all that different?”
“Pikachu,” mumbled the pokemon, his arms crossed and cheeks puffed out.
“Oh, don't give me that. You were difficult,” said Misty as she gave Pikachu another tickle. Ash nodded in agreement. “And Ash was too.”
“Hey! That's not fair. I wasn't difficult. Pikachu, tell her I wasn't difficult.”
Pikachu shrugged. “Pika…”
“Traitor…”
Misty smirked and raised her left hand in front of Ash. “How long?”
Ash stared at it for a moment. “Ugh, fine… I suppose you're right,” mumbled Ash.
A long, awkward silence fell over them as they watched each other. Misty rhythmically tapped the table as she bit her lip.
“I'm sorry, about the maps,” Misty said suddenly, her eyes were lowered.
“It's alright,” said Ash, trying to sound casual.
“It's really not.”
“...I know,” said Ash, frowning. There was a very long silence. Misty stroked Pikachu’s fur as he looked up at her. “It was my fault too, I shouldn't have been so dismissive.”
“We need to be careful,” sighed Misty.
“We will be.” Ash grabbed her hand and interlocked his fingers with hers. There was a very soft clink as their matching bands touched.
“Maybe I should start talking with Delia again.”
“But, Mom said-”
“-I know what she… ” Misty said quickly, then frowned. “Sorry… I know what she said, Ash. But I don’t think it’s happened yet.”
“But what about Togepi?”
“That was different, Togepi wasn’t my six-year-old daughter.” Misty’s voice slightly faltered as she spoke. Ash felt her hand jitter as he held it. “I’m sorry, Ash, I just… “
“Just let it all out,” Ash said softly.
“I don’t want to be my sisters… I love Daisy and the others, but I can’t… they weren’t… It’s not fair, Ash. I don't us want to be those parents,” choked Misty. Ash squeezed her hand.
“You aren't, and we never will be.” his tone was firm, but comforting. “She knows we love her.”
“But…” Misty paused for a long time. Her eyes gazed around the room, not meeting Ash’s until she was ready to speak. “Does she know we love each other?”
“Of course.” Ash said without hesitation. “I know that I love you, Mist.”
A smile flashed across Misty’s face through a few tears. “I'll never get tired of hearing you say that.”
“It feels nice to say,” he said with a smile. A long silence then set upon them. Ash watched Misty's eyes as she looked into his.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“For caring.”
“Oh, well you know me, Mist.” Ash gave her hand another quick squeeze. “It's what I do.”
Misty looked like she was about to burst into laughter
“What?” asked Ash with a bewildered expression.
“I don't know how I did it”
“Did what?”
“How I turned you into a complete sap”
“Is there a problem with that?” he asked, genuinely confused.
“Oh, no, I love it. I just don't know how I did it.”
“Give me some credit, maybe I did it myself.”
Misty rolled her eyes with a smile. “Uh-huh, right.” Misty looked down and gave Pikachu another tickle. “I know Pikachu can't get enough of me, isn't that right?”
“Pika, Pikachu-pi,” Pikachu exclaimed with a smile.
“Same to you, buddy.”
The three of them simply sat there for a while in silence. Ash took a moment to decompress and watch Psyduck play in the snow outside. The duck was making snow angels, or would they be snow ducks? Ash didn't know, and they were pretty ugly either way. Ash looked back to Misty as she suddenly got up and stretched her arms.
“Well, I think I should be going now.”
“What? Where?” asked Ash, still slightly confused from watching Psyduck.
“Let's see, I need to speak to the campground manager, get groceries, get new maps, and… I think that's about it.”
“Oh, ok, do you need any help?”
“No, I think I'll be good, the store shouldn't be more than a 10-minute walk away.” Misty pulled on her knitted hat from Delia and opened the door, but turned around.
“I want us to talk again later,” Misty’s tone had become serious again
“Uh, sure, but I don't know why you have to tell me that since we talk all the time.”
“No, I mean about what happened.”
“Oh yeah, sure.” Ash nervously scratched the back of his head.
“I'll see you later then. I love you.” Misty kissed him.
“Love you too,” Ash said after the kiss ended.
“Bye Pikachu.” she said with a wave towards the pokemon.
“ChuChu, Pikachu-pi,” said Pikachu, waving back.
Ash watched Misty turn around again and walk out the door onto the snow-covered ground. He took the first step down the stairs, but quickly turned around as he heard Maya shuffle towards him. She was wearing her snow clothes, and everything seemed to be in order, but for some reason she had a dejected look on her face.
“What's wrong?” he asked. Maya didn't say anything.. Ash followed her gaze down to her feet. She didn't have her boots on. “Did you want some help with your boots?” he asked. Maya nodded.
Ash lifted her up so she could sit on the countertop. Maya squirmed as he tied the laces on her boots.
“There you go.” Ash said as he stood back and smiled.
“My boots, they hurt,” said Maya. She looked down at them with a pout.
“Huh? Are they too tight already?”
She nodded.
Ash proceeded to untie the laces, loosen them, then retie the laces. “Is that better?” he asked. Maya nodded again, but she was still looking down at her boots. “We'll get you some bigger boots this time so you grow into them, alright, Kiddo?”
Maya didn't nod this time, she just watched her feet as she swung them back and forth.
“It’s normal to grow out of clothes. I remember when I kept growing out of my pants and my mom had to keep sending me new pairs,” said Ash with a light chuckle, though it didn’t seem to improve Maya’s mood. “This just means you're going to grow up to be big and strong.” As soon as Ash finished his sentence and saw Maya's expression, he realized this was the worst thing he could have said.
Maya’s face was red and she looked like she was going to start bawling tears. Ash had to figure out what was wrong, and he had to do it fast. He quickly picked up Maya and moved to sit at the kitchen table. Ash sat down and hugged his daughter tightly. Pikachu quickly caught on to the situation and hopped into her lap so she could hold him.
“It's okay, Maya, it's okay. Just tell me what's wrong.” Ash’s words were soft and fatherly. Maya sniffled for few moments as Ash held her. He waited patiently as she began to form her words.
“I-I don't wa-want to leave.” Maya said at last, slightly choked up.
“Why don't you want to leave?”
“I…” she paused for a moment between sniffles. “You…”
“It's alright, take your time,” said Ash as he stroked her the back of her hair. Pikachu nuzzled Maya, and her fingers ran through his fur as she let out a few tears. Ash was actually a little proud of her for handling herself so well, he wasn't exactly good at keeping his composure when he was younger. It was a while before Maya’s sobs died down enough for her to speak.
“You and Mama w-will fight if I l-leave for m-my… ” Maya said at last, then went silent again.
Ash looked her in the eyes. “If you leave for your journey?” he asked. Maya nodded. “I promise you we won't fight.” Ash felt tears starting to form, but held them back. He had to be confident, if not to hold himself together, then for Maya. “Mama and I don't like fighting either. Sometimes things can be hard for us, and sometimes we fight because we make a mistake or don't know what to do. But we never, ever want to hurt each other, or most importantly you. We both love each other very much, and we both love you.”
“I love you and Mama too,” said Maya, giving Ash the tightest hug she could. Ash would hold his daughter for a long as it would take to make things right.
After a minute Maya released her grasp from him. Her eyes still twinkled from the tears she had shed, but they were over now.
“Are you still up to go outside, or do you want to still in here right now?”
Maya shook her head. “I kinda still want to go out, is that okay?”
“Sure! I’ll follow you wherever you do.”
Ash gave her a pat on the back, and a kiss on the forehead. Maya jumped down from the counter and walked to the door, Ash followed closely behind. There was a satisfying crunch to the snow as Ash stepped out of their motorhome. He stretched his arms and took a deep breath of the cool winter air. The day hadn't started as well as Ash would have liked, but that didn't mean it couldn't get better.
Psyduck toppled over as one of Maya’s snowballs hit the pokémon square in the stomach. Maya dove for her snow mound as Psyduck rocked itself back onto its feet and brushed off it's jacket. A few lumpy snowballs suddenly rose into the air as the psychic duck’s eyes glowed a soft pink, and after a few seconds they zoomed towards Maya’s cover. Ash couldn't stop himself from smiling as he watched Psyduck’s snowballs litter the ground around Maya, leaving her completely untouched. She popped out from her cover and stuck her tongue out at Pysduck, who returned the act. Maya quickly made another snowball and hit Psyduck directly on the bill. The pokémon jumped into the air and fell flat on its face into the snow. Maya also collapsed into the snow, laughing uncontrollably at the duck’s misfortune.
“Pi-pikapi, pikachu pika,” Pikachu muttered.
“What, no, it's totally fair. Psyduck has all those powers and stuff,” Ash replied. Even if he didn't want to say it out loud, Ash knew that Pikachu was right.
“Pika,” the pokemon suddenly called out as he jumped into the air raced towards Psyduck.
“Hey! Two on one is cheating.” yelled Ash. He then jumped up and jogged over to Maya. “Hey, Kiddo, I think you’ll be needing some help.” He then hoisted her up onto his shoulders and tossed her a snowball. “How about we show them out double team Ketchum attack?” he said with a smile.
Maya smiled back, and shouted. “Yeah!”
Some time later…
Ash suddenly felt a sharp buzz in his pants pocket. He pulled out his pokegear and flashed the screen to life. He had received a text from Misty.
“Be back in 15. Find us good place for lunch”, the message read.
“OK”, Ash replied. For a second he considered texting Misty about what had happened with Maya, but that was probably a conversation better had in person. Ash stuffed his pokegear back into his pocket. “Sorry everyone, looks like we'll have to call it here,” he said, putting Maya down in the process. Father and daughter brushed the copious amounts of snow off their jackets and pants.
“Already?” Maya said with a pout, as she emptied her hood of snow..
“Yup. But we can always come back out, the snow isn’t going anywhere,” he said with a wink.
Hello! I've only picked up T7S recently, and I have to say, I'm very impressed by the scope of your writing on it. I can't say I always agree with your essays/headcanons or that I always take issue with the same story beats you do, but your points are always well-presented and your comic is an interesting expansion on the series. And I'm curious - had the show followed up on Jackie and Hyde's feelings immediately after JBH, how would you have wanted them to handle it?
Hi! Thank you for your lovely comments. I’m glad you appreciate my show analysis even if you disagree with some of it.
I’ve written several fanfics that explore different possible answers to your question:
1) One Difference: Hyde Doesn’t Lie
Summary: Hyde tells Jackie the truth about their Veteran’s Day kiss, but his choice alters their relationship—and the lives around them.
Rated: T
2) One Difference: Hyde Goes to Kelso’s Ice Shack
Summary: Kelso plans to get Jackie back by taking her to his uncle’s “fabulous” cabin in the woods. He has everything in place—the right lie, the right couple to emulate—but an unexpected variable threatens to dismantle his scheme: Steven Hyde.
Rated: T
3) One Difference: Hyde Catches Jackie
Summary: Kelso forgets to pick Jackie up from work … again. Feeling neglected, she falls into the arms of her boss, only to be caught in a transgressive lip-lock by Steven Hyde.
Rated: T
4) Jackie’s Camino Caper
Summary: Jackie gets the taste for stealing after taking Casey Kelso’s clock radio. She sets her sights on her biggest prize yet—Hyde’s car—but Hyde proves he’s no easy mark.
Rated: M
On the show, I would’ve liked to see:
Jackie and Hyde’s friends question them about the date. It was public knowledge.
Jackie’s feelings for Hyde creep up on her over the next few weeks. She finds herself sneaking looks at him and being way more shy about it than she is after “Cat Fight Club” (2x25). This culminates in some self-analysis about her and Hyde’s reactions to the JBH kiss and…
She tells Donna she thinks Hyde was lying about not feeling anything. Jackie is able to see through his defenses in “Jackie Bags Hyde” pre-kiss. No reason she can’t do the same post-kiss.
Hyde is typically Hyde: hiding. *lol*
But Jackie decides to be a risk-taker. She was the first to say she didn’t feel anything during their kiss, after all. So she amends her initial reaction and tells Hyde she did feel something but had a delayed reaction.
Hyde is confused by this until…
Jackie explains it in more detail.
Hyde grins and says: “I knew it. No way you could feel nothin’ after a kiss like that.”
Jackie gets annoyed by this response, but it replays in her head, and she recognizes the subtext in it.
She says: “You felt something, too.”
Hyde: No, I didn’t.
Jackie: Yes, you did.
Hyde: I didn’t.
Jackie: Prove it.
They kiss.
Jackie: Did you feel anything?
Hyde: Nope.
Jackie: Liar.
They kiss again, more passionately, and they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other.
They begin their romantic relationship surreptitiously. They pretend to their friends that their date on Veteran’s Day ended whatever was between them.
Hyde isn’t insecure about Kelso because Jackie didn’t go back to him (unlike what actually happens on the show).
Their friends find out.
Kelso tries to break them up. Fails miserably.
Jackie and Hyde are happy together but have character-based conflict that helps them continue to grow and change as individuals and as a couple.
Hello! I love your artwork, and the detail you put into creating your future generation of Pokekids! I'm curious to know - have you thought of anything for Miette in your timeline?
Thank you so much! We appreciate it!
As for Miette, yes, we do! Miette is a divorced, single mother living with a son about Emilie and Louvel’s age (his name is Pierre). She runs a bakery in Lumiose City, specializing in Pokemon goods! She lives near Serena and Clemont, and she’s sure to bother Serena whenever she can.
60. “Before you decide to murder me, let me explain…” Ash/Misty
Hey there @zdbztumble!! I am so sorry I haven’t posted an answer to your ask yet!! I HAD something all typed up and i may have accidentally closed the damn thing!!! Ugh!! but, the characters were a little too OOC and I didn’t like it anyways, so, heres attempt number 2!!
“ASH KETCHUM!!! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!”
Ash awoke violently from his peaceful slumber to his wife screaming his name for a completely different reason, and judging by her tone, she was NOT happy.
“Coming, Babe!!” He called as he jogged to her office
“What’s up Mist?” he asked while stretching
“You wanna tell me why the hell there is a $10,000 on our credit card?!” Misty seethed
Ash’s eyes nearly bulged out of his thick skull, “Misty! hold on a sec!” he put his arms out in self defense as she stomped towards him
He could see that she had no intentions of listening to him…..without him being on the floor in a sort of headlock, so he resorted to a line he learned from Cilan
“Misty! Before you decide to murder me, please let me explain!!! I found your parents!!” He braced himself
the next thing he knew, her arms were around his neck, and her lips were on his.
when she decided to break the kiss, “I…..guess I owe you an apology, huh?” she spoke softly
“It’s ok, and you’re right, I should have at least mentioned something to you” Ash kissed his young wife’s cheek
“That would’ve been nice! but, what’s done is done, when’s our flight?”
“5:00AM” Ash gulped, Arceus he HATED red eye flights, he knew Misty did too, less snuggling time for the couple.
“Well, we better get packed” Ash stated, “then maybe later, you know, we could….” he stroked Misty’s sides gently
“Yeah? Hey Ash, can I ask you something?” Misty purred while wrapping her arms around the back of his neck, she almost felt bad for what she was about to do to him.
“Ask away baby!” he inched closer to her lips
“You got $10,000?” she whispered with a huge grin across her face
‘oh shi-” Ash thought
but before he could react, Misty put him on the ground in a head lock
Too bad Cilan didn’t tell him what Iris did to him AFTER he used that line!!!!
