Hoenn, Evening

Hamako raised an eyebrow as he asked looking up at Brock,"Where's my dad? Isn't he coming to dinner?"

Brock shook his head in disappointment as he answered looking down at his godson,"No, he and Miss Blondie left on an errand."

Hamako nodded sadly as he tighten his hold on Brock's hand. Delia just shook her head sadly as Pikachu gave Hamako a sad look.

As soon as the family arrived to the dinning room a young waitress came to escort Hamako to a different dinning room.

Delia glared at the waitress as she refused to let Hamako get taken away from her.

Jessie smiled at the waitress apologizeictly before she reasoned with Delia.

"Delia we can't do anything about it. They have to take Hamako."

"But Jessie, I just can't stand to loose Hamako out of sight again. I won't eat. I'll go back to the room with him and order something instead."

"No Grandma it's alright. I'll be fine. Uncle Brock will come and pick me up later." Hamako said smiling at his Grandmother.

Delia sighed sadly as she let go of Hamako and kissed his forehead.

"Please be careful." Delia called out as Hamako walked away from the group.

Hamako turned back just to flash her a smile and raise a thumps up.

Children's Dinning Room

Hamako obsereved the room he was in and took notice how majority of these kids were unfamiliar to him.

As he began to walk nervously around the room he stepped on a girl's dress harshly making them both bumb and fall to the floor.

"Hey watch where you're going" the young girl yelled at Hamako as he stood up from the floor helping her up to.

"I'm sorry." Hamako replied before he lifted his gaze to her.

Hamako widen his eyes as he stared at her light blue dress horridly as he exclaimed,"Hey! What happened to your dress?!"

The girl gasped as she took notice of her torn dress before her face turned red and yelled,"You happened to my dress you little idiot! Now you have to repay me!"

"Oh God. I'll..uh.. pay you back someday." Hamako answered weakly.

The girl glared at him as she replied, "I guess I'll have to stick with you so you won't forget about my dress."

"Here." Hamako replied as he took off his yellow coat and tied it around her waist.

"Now your torn dress isn't visible." Hamako replied.

"The name's Yuri. Yuri Oak."

"Hamako. Hamako Waterflower."

Hamako shook her hand before his eyes caught sight of someone from afar.

Hamako then took off leaving the girl as he yelled,"Satoshi! Thank God!"

Satoshi turned around with a huge grin on his face and stood up as he crashed a hug to Hamako, while Aoi and Max dropped their jaws with widen eyes.

"Hamako! Thank heavens you're here! Mom has completely lost it!" Satoshi replied as he helped Hamako sit down.

"What do you mean Mom? Dad has completely turned insane. He-"

"Ahem.."

The two boys stopped talking as Aoi, Max, and even Yuri looked at them with a raised eyebrow.

"Who are you?" Max asked Yuri with a confused face.

Yuri narrowed her eyes at him before she brushed her soft brown hair out of her shoulder and replied,"The name's Yuri. Yuri Oak and you are?"

"Max. Max Saiga."

"Aoi! Aoi Iki!" Aoi said flashing a smile to Yuri.

"Satoshi." Satoshi replied.

"Now explain what's going on. Last time I saw you..you had orange hair." Max said narrowing his eyes at Hamako.

"Okay so long story short. We found out at camp we were long list twin brothers and our parents are Ash Ketchum and Misty Waterflower." Hamako said calmly while the others actively listened.

"So we decided to switch places and pretend to be eachother just so we could meet them but..."

"But what." Yuri said.

"Our dear old dad is getting married and we're really trying to hook up our parents back together." Satoshi confessed.

"Aw, that's so sweet!" Aoi said as Yuri shook her head.

"I don't agree with your plans you guys. They must've separated for a reason. Love isn't forced you know." Yuri said looking at the boys.

"Nonsense. I think it's good of them to help their parents get together." Max replied looking at the twins happily.

The boys thanked their friends before they began to eat and enjoy one another's company.

As soon as one hour ticked away Brock showed up sharply to pick up Hamako.

He walked to retrieve him from the table when his jaw dropped at who was sitting besides him.

"Satoshi?!" Brock exclaimed as the boy slurped a juicy virgin piña colada.

Satoshi finished slurpping his drink before he smiled weakly at Brock, "Hey Uncle Brock."

Hamako smiled as he exclaimed, "Surprise!"

"Why you're dead meat!" Brock said as he grabbed Satoshi from his shoulders and hugged him tightly.

"Don't you ever pull another stunt like that again."

He then grabbed Hamako as he hugged them tightly and smiled at them.

His two godsons.

He cherrished them more than they could ever imagine.

He never thought he would see them again together again.

Brock then looked at the three kids starring at them as he asked both boys,"So who are your friends boys?"

"I'm Max. Max Saiga." Max said as he smiled at Brock.

"Oh your parents are May and Drew! They're really good friends of mine. Also Max!" Brock said as he smiled at Max.

"Good evening Mr. Harrison. My name is Aoi Iki!" Aoi said with a huge smile.

"Ah, you're parents are Cilan and Iris. I remember that puffy hair of your mother and your dad's green hair. They're also good friends of mine." Brock replied with a sincere smile.

Yuri looked at Brock nervously as she said "My name is Yuri Oak Mr..Mr. Harrison."

Brock immediately looked at Yuri sadly as he mumbled "Oh.."

He then gave her a gentle smile as he said,"It's an honor to finally meet you Yuri. Your dad is a very close friend of mine."

Yuri smiled at Brock before she looked over at Hamako who gave her a confused face.

"Come along now boys. We'll see your friends tomorrow." Brock said as he led his godsons out of the dinning room.

As they walked away from the dinning section and into the long empty hallways Satoshi asked,"Uncle Brock I really need to use the restroom."

"So do I." Hamako said.

"There's a restroom up ahead just a few turns away."

They arrived at a long hallway with long glass walls overlooking the beautiful night sky and the ocean.

Both boys soon ran into the restroom leaving Brock alone waiting for them.

Brock then leaned against the glass window as he waited for the boys to come out before he saw a woman walking then stopping to admire the ocean.

As the moonlight reflected upon her Brock caught sight of her bright orange hair.

No way.

"Holy sh*t." Brock muttered as he took a few steps towards her direction.

"Misty?" He said softly, almost afraid of his own voice.

He saw the woman freeze. Her breathing became irregular before she slowly calmed herself and turned to face him with tears in her eyes.

"Hello Brock." Misty softly said as her heart clenched in pain and her tears spilled.

Ash sighed tiredly as he messaged the back of his neck. He had been waiting for Serena to get ready for dinner for a good hour and he was getting hungrier by the minute.

Serena then came out wearing a beautiful short red and pink dress with black leggings. She had short white sleeves and a big red bow right by her chest. She wore red slippers and to finish it off she wore a pink bow headband with blue pearls.

"How do I look babe?" Serena said twirling around, showing Ash her outfit.

"You look cute." Ash said before leaving with her to dinner.

Dinning Room

"Oh my. Why you look at the time, I promised Misty I'd go pick up Hamako." James said as he excused himself from the table.

"Goodnight everyone. See you tomorrow at the galla." James said waving at the group of friends.

As James hummed to himself he stopped when he heard a group of cooks and the head chef shouting at the tops of their lungs.

"Get out of here you filthy animal!"

"Scram!"

"Get that cat out of here now!"

James peaked his head into the kitchen to see a worker grabbing a Meowth Pokèmon by his back and taking him out to the garbage section.

"Let me go at once you human!" the pokèmon reasoned as he tried his best to scratch him.

James gasped in amazement at how the pokèmon could speak their language.

"For the last time you! No stray pokèmons are allowed in here!" the worker yelled as he threw the Pokèmon outside the building and into the garbage bin.

James just quietly observed at how the Pokèmon just brushed the garbage off of him and scraped the garbage for food.

"Poor thing." James mumbled.

James felt pity for the Pokèmon and was about to turn when he saw the Pokèmon find a piece of fish and began to eat it. At that moment James felt like he was seeing his old self all over again.

James then looked both ways in the hallway before he opened the door and walked up towards the Pokèmon.

Meowth quickly snapped his head at James direction as he yelled,"Don't come any closer!"

"Now now." James reasoned as he put his hands up in surrender.

"I don't want to hurt you. I just want to help you." James continued as he looked at the Pokèmon.

"Why would a human want to help me? You guys are all the same."

"Because.." James replied with a sad expression.

"You remind me of myself a long time ago. Please let me help you."

Meowth just stared at him unsure.

"Look if you don't feel comfortable living with me for a month then you can leave." James offered with a sincere smile.

Meowth looked at James with a raised eyebrow as he asked,"How do I know that I should trust you?"

"Because I'm the only one you got." James said as he offered his hand to Meowth.

Meowth just stared at him for a while before he gave in and let James carry him inside the hotel.

"The name's James by the way."

"Meowth." Meowth replied as he observed the inside of the hotel. He never got passed the kitchen storage as he would always get caught and kicked out.

But now.

He was in total heaven.
_________________________________________

"What do you mean he isn't here?!" James yelled madly at the host lady.

"I'm sorry sir. It's just that his Godfather arrived and took him and another boy. Do you wish for me to call security?"

"Godfather?" James whispered as he turned pale.

"Oh God. I must go. No need for security." James hollored as he ran down to the lobby desk.

"What on earth is going on?" Meowth asked.

"No time to explain." James said as he got to the lobby desk and exclaimed,"Quick! Can you please give me Brock Harrison's room number."

"I'm sorry sir but we can't give our guest room numbers. It's goes against our law." the clerk answered sadly.

"Damn it." James whispered as he looked down at the white marble floor.

"What do you need Brock for?"

James fixed his gaze to the voice and swore to God he had never seen anybody so beautiful before.

She was magnificent. She had magenta color hair and the most beautiful blue eyes. She was...gorgeous.

James quickly shook his head as he replied,"I'm sorry. I can't answer that question I just really need to get to his room or find him."

The lady raised an eyebrow as she crossed her arms and answered,"If you don't tell me the reason then I won't help you sir."

James cringed at that word. "Sir." He hated that title so badly, espically coming out of her mouth.

James sighed as he replied in surrender,"Brock has my friend's child. Now can you please help me?"

The lady widen her eyes as she gasped,"You..you know Misty?"

James raised an eyebrow at her as he said,"Yes?"

The lady quickly got ahold of James's arm before she dragged him to the elevator.

"I'm Jessie. I'm the nanny of Satoshi and a close friend of Ash."

James glared at her as he replied coldly,"Oh so the jerk has friends."

Jessie then began to tell James how Hamako and Satoshi switched places before he cut her off saying,"Yes I am aware of that. I had Satoshi you know. I'm just trying to get to Brock. My name's James by the way."

"Nice to meet you James."

"The pleasures mine Jessie."

"Ugh. Humans." Meowth mumbled as he rolled his eyes at how James and Jessie secretly blushed.
_________________________________________

Misty smiled at Brock sadly before she said,"It's been a long time hasn't it."

Brock didn't know what to do. To cry, to yell at her, to hug her. All these emotions at once.

Misty looked at Brock and saw in his face expressing hurt, anger but most of all relief. She choked back sob as she thought that her best friend would be pissed at her. 

However Brock then ran over to her as he gave her a big tight hug, crying out of relief of seeing his best friend again. 

He had his best friend back again. Nothing mattered at the moment.

"I'm so sorry! I just couldn't..couldn't go back.." Misty weeped out as she hugged him back.

"I don't care about that! I'm never letting you out of my sight again Misty! Curse you for just leaving like that!" Brock said.

Misty sniffed as she just stayed in Brock's embrace.

"Mom?"

Misty snapped her head up as she looked at her boys standing behind them with a sad smile.

Hamako stepped foward as he said, "Hey Mom."

"Hamako? Oh my baby!" Misty sobbed as she let go of Brock and embraced Hamako. She then turned to Satoshi and hugged both boys close to her as she said, kissing them,"My two boys. I never thought I would see you together again."

Before Brock could reply Jessie walked out of Misty's room, right behind where they were standing, and said,"I hate to interupt this family reunion but can we continue it inside?"

Brock then led Misty and the boys inside the room.

Jessie then smiled at Misty as she closed the door and said,"Hi. You must not remember me but I'm-"

"Jessie! It's so good to see you again!" Misty said as she smiled at Jessie sweetly.

Jessie just stood there dumbfolded.

"Wow. That woman is a gem." Jessie said as she admired how Misty hugged and brushed her sons hairs.

"How did you get in here Jessie?" Satoshi asked while he hugged his nanny.

"I was on my way with James back to our room but James needed to stop by to his room to leave Meowth."

"Meowth?" Hamako asked.

"That's me kid." Meowth replied as he walked in the room with James behind him.

Before anybody could ask how the hell Meowth spoke James screamed "YOU!" while he pointed at Brock.

Before Brock could register what was going on James was on top of him holding him by his shirt, yelling, "Where's Satoshi you git!"

"He's safe! I swear! He's right here!" Brock exclaimed shock at the strength of this man.

"James! Let him go they're both right here." Misty said.

James quickly let go of Brock and went straight to both boys.

"Oh my! They're both here!" James said smiling at the twins.

Misty laughed as she helped Brock up.

Misty then turned to her boys as she said crossing her arms,"Now that we have established our little meeting I'm afraid we have to switch you two back."

Hamako and Satoshi looked at Misty with big teary eyes.

Misty sniffed as she contained herself and said,"You guys. Please don't make this harder than it is."

Jessie and James stood sadly at the scene unfold while Brock shook his head.

"No Misty. Can't you see they're in pain of never seeing one another again?"

Misty bit her lip sadly.

Before she could reply to Brock's comment a sudden harsh knock was heard at the door.

Jessie opened it and was surprised to see Delia and Pikachu walk in worriedly.

She caught sight of Brock as she walked to him quickly.

"Brock it's been past an hour, where is my grandson? Pikachu sniffed his trail to here-"

Delia froze when she looked at the young woman standing besides Brock.

Pikachu lost it as he jumped off of Delia's shoulder and into Misty's arms.

"Pika-chupi!" Pikachu yelled as he bursted out into tears.

Misty cried as she hugged the little rodent and answered,"Hello Pikachu. It's been forever little fella."

Pikachu just weeped, pressing his face on Misty's chest while she stroked the poor pokèmon.

Delia smiled at Misty sadly as she said, "Hello dear."

"Hello Mrs. Ketchum." Misty replied with a sad gaze.

"Misty, it's Delia or Mom for you. It always has been and will always will be." Delia said with a sad gaze.

Misty bursted into tears as she embraced Delia.
_________________________________________

After the family reunion, Misty sat on sofa facing Brock and Delia.

Both Satoshi and Hamako were taken by Jessie and James to the kitchen for a midnight ramen meal.

"So how are you here Misty? What are you now days?" Brock asked.

"I'm good. I'm also the Water Pokèmon Master." Misty said.

Delia smiled at her as she grabbed her hand and said, squeezing it softly,"I'm so proud of you dear."

"Thank you Delia."

Brock smiled at Misty. Proud that his best friend became what she always wanted.

"How have you've been Brock?" Misty asked.

"I've become a Pokèmon Doctor." Brock said.

Misty frowned sadly. She missed it all. Her friend graduating to become a Pokèmon Doctor, the childhood years of Satoshi, and even Pikachu and Delia.

All because she acted selfish and  cowardly.

Misty smiled bitterly as she said,"I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have left like that. Completely cutting you guys out of my life and Hamako's. I was young and naive. I just hope you guys can forgive me."

Brock and Delia smiled at her sadly before Brock replied,"We will always love you Misty. You are family no matter what. You were always forgiven."

Next Morning, Ash's Suite

Ash yawned as he walked towards the living room. He saw Hamako playing with Pikachu while Brock and Jessie talked by the balcony.

"Morning Satoshi." Ash smiled as he sat down on the couch.

"Morning Dad." Hamako replied as Pikachu purred at how Hamako brushed his head.

"Well finally you wake up. You don't want to miss today's galla!" Brock said as he walked in with Jessie.

Ash gave him a small smile. He wasn't ready for the galla.

Not one bit.

"Have you heard the rumor Ash?" Jessie spoke as she walked to the kitchen counter to serve herself some tea.

"What rumor?"

"The Water Pokèmon Master is attending this year's galla." Brock cooed.

"Really?! Man, I really want to meet them." Ash exclaimed with sparks in his eyes.

Pikachu and Hamako smirked.

Noon, Slateport City, Hoenn

"Ugh, I hate the smell of dead fish." Misty gagged as she walked hand in hand with Satoshi down the Slateport Market.

James then ran to a ice cream bar overlooking the ocean port.

"Misty why don't you go enjoy yourself for a while. I'll look after Satoshi here." James offered as he and Satoshi sat down in one of the seats of the ice cream bar.

Misty nodded before she left.
_________________________________________

Misty then walked to the backside of the ice cream bar and sat down on one of the bar stools. She then studied the different alcoholic beverages on the huge shelf that divided the bar and the ice cream bar.

"What can I get for you today ma'am?" the bartender asked.

"Something that can fix my broken heart." Misty replied groaning at the headache she had been dealing with since the morning.

She then grabbed a ice pack from one of the buckets containing beers.

As the bartender prepared her drink a young woman took a seat one stool away from her. The bartender then returns delivering a red concoction to Misty, who holds a ice pack to her head.

"Here you go ma'am. This'll cure anything you got. Just don't ask what's in it."

Misty looked at the drink hesitant.

"Okay... here's to.."

Misty then turns to the young woman, "Here's to you. May your life be far less complicated and heartbreaking than mine."

She then drank the drink.

Serena stared at her weirdly before she mumbled,"Thank you..."

Misty then slams down the drink and winces at the taste and her headache.

"Martini, dry please." Serena orders.

Misty groans as she says,"I think I just drank tar."

After the bartender hands Serena her drink he hands Misty her bill. Misty signs her check and moves it up to the bartender.

Serena then sneaks a peak at her signature, practically choking on her martini.

"You're a Waterflower?"

"Yes?"

"I can't believe it. Are you related to the Waterflower Sensational Sisters? The designers?"

Misty rolled her eyes as she said, "Ugh..sadly yes."

Serena squaled before she said,"I faxed their office just yesterday. I saw a wedding dress they designed and fell completely in love with it. However their office said they were out of work as they had to take care of their family gym and they didn't know if they could make another one. I can't believe it. This is fate!"

Serena then moves to seat next to her, extending her hand,"I'm Serena Ayakashi."

Misty shakes her hand as she says, "Misty Waterflower, how do you do?"
_________________________________________

"I'm sorry Mrs. Ayakashi. What did you say?"

"Oh.. Serena didn't tell you? That girl has had a huge crush on you since childhood. She pratically had to kind of stalk you on social media so that she could find you again." Ms. Ayakashi said smiling at Ash.

Ash winced at that sudden information. No wonder Serena was bursting with happiness when they met for the interview.

As he continued to walk alongside Ms. Ayakashi by the warf he spots at that very moment Misty standing directly by the deck admiring the ocean.

Ash blinks, unable to believe his eyes.

His eyes continue to widen as a man with lavender color hair comes to stand besides Misty making her laugh. He stands there stunned, eyes wide open.

"Tell me, dear, how many guests will there be from your side of the family?"

Ash continued to stare across at Misty as he replied,"I'm not sure... uh can I get back to you later?"

Ash then leaves Ms. Ayakashi alone in her thoughts as he begins to walk towards Misty.

As Ash speed walks towards Misty, he trips over a couple of times.

Jessie, alongside Brock, who were both sitting down at one of the warf tables, asked "Ash, you okay?"

Ash glances over at her, gets tangled up in some fishing line and almost crashes right into Hamako.

"Dad! Watch out!" Hamako yelled but it's to late.

Ash then falls off the warf and into the ocean.

Misty turns to the sudden commotion and sees Ash in the ocean while Hamako, Jessie, and Brock scream at Ash.

Misty then runs to one of the fisher man and borrows his fishing pole to pull Ash out of the ocean.

"Hang on Ash!" Brock yelled as Ash got ahold of the line and was lifted out of the ocean by Misty.

Misty observed how Ash pulled himself up and walked towards her, soaking wet, with one cheek bleeding, and not looking happy at all.
