Ash and May's New Adventure

Pallet Town: Ash and May's House

Ash Ketchum breathed in the fresh morning air as he watched the slow ascent of the sun over the horizon. The surroundings were still as if it waits for the new dawn. Ash, now 24 years old, made it his routine to always look at the sunrise before he begins his training with his Pokemon.

"Sceptile!" croaked a voice from behind him.

Ash turned around to see his Sceptile looking at the sun as well. Ash has been staying in Pallet Town ever since his journey in the Kalos region ended. When he came back, the Kanto Pokemon League has announced that the Pewter gym will be shut down and replaced. Brock said that his travels had made it impossible for him to maintain the gym and he still wants to travel further. Thus, he decided to close it instead.

The Kanto Pokemon League then moved the gym to Pallet Town in order to try something new. Ash was offered to become the gym leader and after consulting with Brock, he accepted it and became the eighth gym leader of the Kanto Pokemon League; the last one trainers need to beat before challenging the Elite Four. As of now, his gym remained unconquered. Brock left with Max and Dawn as they searched for new adventures.

"Morning Sceptile." Ash smiled at his Pokemon.

"Pika pika." Pikachu's voice came from inside the house.

The yellow mouse Pokemon then emerged from the house and ran towards Ash and Sceptile.

"Pikachu! Come here!" Ash laughed as he extended his arms towards his best friend.

Pikachu jumped on Ash's waiting arms and went to his shoulder.

"You know, coffee's waiting inside Ash." said a girl's voice.

Ash looked at the door of the house and there, smiling towards him, is May.

"Morning May." Ash replied, letting Pikachu go down and play with his other Pokemon who were starting to wake up.

It has been a week after Ash and May decided to settle down in Pallet Town. May was a rising star as a coordinator when she suddenly yearned for the quiet life she had. So when they got married, they both chose to live in Ash's peaceful hometown. Norman, at first, wanted them to live in Littleroot Town in order to be closer to Petalburg City. But May wanted to be away from coordinating for a while, so Norman conceded.

"I want to see my grandkids soon though." Norman laughed as the newly-weds got on the ferry to Kanto.

Ash's thoughts were interrupted when May suddenly asked him a question.

"Why are you smiling?" May asked.

"Hm? Oh, nothing. Just remembered something." Ash laughed.

The two went into the dining room of their house where two steaming cups of coffee are waiting for them. Ash took a sip and smiled.

"I'm lucky to have such a talented wife." he remarked.

May blushed and lightly punched his arm.

"By the way, your mom wanted us to swing by your house later." May said as she took the toast out of the toaster.

"Oh right. She called last night. I'm sure she prepared a feast and she called us to help her finish it." Ash chuckled.

"Well, Professor Oak can't eat it all on his own, can he?" May laughed.

The two resumed their breakfast when they suddenly heard a ruckus outside. The Pokemon were becoming noisy.

"What's that?" May frowned, curious to what could be happening outside.

"I'm checking it out." Ash stood up.

"I'm going with you." said May.

They went outside and saw the Pokemon were in a circle, watching something within the circle. Pikachu's cries could be heard above the noise. Ash's Crawdaunt, although not visible, cried out in anger.

"Crawdaunt!" was Crawdaunt's fierce battle cry.

"It looks like a Pokemon broke into Crawdaunt's territory." Ash observed.

Ash ran towards the Pokemon with May following him.

"Mama!" said a voice from within the circle of Pokemon.

Something blue suddenly darted out towards May.

"May!" Ash cried out in panic as the blue blur went past him.

May was surprised when she caught it. In her arms was Manaphy.

"Manaphy!" May exclaimed, happily hugging the legendary Pokemon.

"Oh, it's only you Manaphy! I thought it was a wild Pokemon." Ash breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dada!" Manaphy energetically cried out when it looked at Ash.

"Dada?!" asked Ash and May simultaneously.

Manaphy nodded and jumped towards Ash. Ash caught it and held it in his arms.

"Dada!" Manaphy repeated.

Ash looked at May. May returned the favor. Then the two started laughing.

"Well Manaphy, I think you're right about that." May smiled.

"So I'm a father now?" Ash laughed.

"Yes Ashy boy. So be good." May teased.

The three of them went inside the house as the Pokemon outside dispersed.

Pallet Town: Delia's House

"It turns out Manaphy has been searching for us after it made sure that the Temple of the Sea is safe." May explained as she took a bite of chocolate cake, Manaphy sitting on her lap.

"Now isn't that cute? Hello Manaphy. I'm your grandma. Delia." Delia smiled, pinching Manaphy's cheek.

"Gra—grandma?" Manaphy stuttered.

"Yes Manaphy. She's my mom so she's now your grandma." Ash smiled.

"Manaphy learns fast. You're fortunate to have quite an amazing child Ash." Professor Oak remarked, drinking some soda.

Manaphy looked at Professor Oak. It looked puzzled then suddenly, it's face brightened up.

"Gra—gra—grandpa!" Manaphy exclaimed.

Professor Oak nearly choked on his soda and the others laughed.

"I—I'm not your grandpa!" Professor Oak managed to gasp.

"It's fine Professor Oak. You're gonna be an awesome grandpa for Manaphy." May beamed at the professor.

"Well...if you insist. Then yes, I'm Manaphy's grandpa." Professor Oak laughed.

"Now that that is clear, the next question is...when is Manaphy's sibling coming?" Delia asked the two.

May blushed and fell silent.

"MOM!" Ash protested, blushing furiously.

"What? You two are married, right? So it's not bad to ask that." laughed Delia.

"Bu—but, we've only been married for a week. Yo—you can't expect us to be comfortable about it immediately." Ash continued to protest.

"But I think it is a wonderful idea, right cute little Manaphy?" Professor Oak asked Manaphy, patting its head.

Manaphy nodded even though it had no idea what was going on.

-End of Chapter One-

Afterword: Hello there! (This is my first time to write an afterword. Oh well, here we go.) So how was it? This is my first AdvanceShipping fanfic (and my first non-oneshot fanfic). I hope you liked it. Anyway, next chapter will be a visit to Petalburg City and well...some loveydovey scenes for Ash and May (babymaking? Hmm...maybe. But not graphic. I suck at writing those.) Wonder where this fic is headed? We'll see. I hope you'd take the ride with me until I get to finish this. See'ya next chapter. (Oh one more thing. Leave a review if you want. I need to improve my writing to make the succeeding chapters better. I can even entertain plot development ideas.)
