Summary: Family, at times, makes comes in different forms. Even in the strange situations you find yourself in. Series of short ficlets and drabbles relating to Pokémon in my old series with Delia, Giovanni, and Ash all being major characters, other characters making brief cameos.
A/N: A few ficlets pertaining to my old Pokémon series I hope to start back up in the summer and revise a lot of it.
The problem is my vision of Giovanni came from the one I've been writing for years now that the newer series makes it hard for me to try and connect with him. Makes me feel like he is OOC…
Just so you know I only watched the Japanese version of this episode, so it may not be entirely accurate according to the English version and I've not actually seen anything Black and White episodes in English, so I sorta nabbed a few Japanese names from it…
Don't ask me where this oneshot came from but here we go...
Ficlet 1: Unova Pain…
"Ash, you told me would start being more careful after Sinnoh!" Delia almost wanted to scream at her son on the videophone.
Ash cringed; maybe it had not been a good thing to tell his mother he had seen Giovanni (he had remained certain not to mention he had been kidnapped by the man too). Giovanni had simply been trying to control legendary Pokémon for Unova. What would he tell his mother?
"Mom, it was alright, I swear! Nothing bad happened." If you don't count on him using Meloetta to control legendary Pokémon that is…
A sigh escaped her, "Please tell me Iris and Cilan don't know about your history with him!"
Ash frowned at his mother on the screen and almost could not help stop himself from getting angered a bit at his mother. Just his history?!
"Mom, isn't that a bit unfair to say that?"
Delia let out a sigh and stared at her son from over, "Yes, I'm sorry. I just don't nothing to happen to you. You hardly remember to pack your clean under wear as it is…"
"Pikapiki..pi pi!" Ash turned red in the face as his best friend, currently on his shoulder was resisting the urge to laugh at his trainer.
Pikachu, you traitor. You are not supposed to laugh at me.
A glare from Ash only caused Pikachu to hop his shoulder and away from his trainer a few feet, resisting the urge to start laughing.
"Mom!" Ash groaned, as he turned back to the videophone, though Ash resisted the urge to smile.
However, deep down Ash wanted to ask…why did his mom's laugh appear to be forced?
He resisted the urge to want to chase after him. The guy who was the result of many of their problems.

He had not been actually planning on see Ash with Meloetta, but there was no denying the boy took after Delia in so many ways. He would not renounce his criminal ways, no matter what. He knew Delia did not care for him anymore.
But, the fact the woman still kept it a secret he had a son…it made his stomach turn.
Though, he still did not actively pursue Ash until today. And that was only because he needed the boy as bait to get Meloetta for his plans…
However, he could not deny that he was somehow relieved when he saw Ash again.
Was a mere boy, a son causing this?

He called Brock after getting off the phone with his mother. Iris and Cilan were both sleeping, but he had to talk to his friend.
Ring….1…2…3…4…5…6….,…10!
Click!
Of course, Brock was probably sleeping and Dawn, well; she currently needed to rest to compete in the Wallace Cup.
May, he had heard was also competing in the Wallace Cup again as well. With a quick thought, he grabbed the phone and again…
Ringing…1…2…3-
"Ash, is that you?" The voice sounded sleepy yet concerned. But, he knew he could tell her what was bugging him tonight. She may understand just as easy as Brock would.
"Hey, Misty, can I talk to you…"

Ficlets will be added as they are written, not in any particular order.
