Chapter 7: "So how do you think we go about finding all this out?" –Daisy


* * * 

  
The day was spent packing.  They didn’t know where they were going to put all of their 
things when the got to the Pokémon world, but it didn’t matter, the needed to be out of 
here as soon as possible.  They got to the airport three hours early not wanting to be late 
and not wanting to wait forever in the lines for luggage and things like that.  Of course it 
was a good thing they did since Aurora decided to run around on all the escalators and ‘I 
want to wide on de ting when we all the suitcases come down on.’  
 
“Flight 3653 your plane is now boarding for Pokémon world.”
 
Misty grabbed Aurora quickly before she could run off to another escalator.  “Come on 
sweetie we need to get going.”

Ash laughed as he grabbed their carry-on bags. “Do we have to worry about her running 
up and down the isles?”  He said teasingly.  

Misty glared back at him as she walked through the terminal.  “No, she better not.”  She 
said looking back towards her daughter who smiled sweetly.  Misty grinned at her 
daughter and kissed her noisily on the check.  "I love you baby."  She whispered in 
Aurora's ear.  

Aurora looked up at her mother with a curious gaze.  It confused her to hear Misty say it 
so seriously.  "I love you to mama."  She whispered back as she snuggled her way further 
into Misty's arms.

Ash just smiled at the heart-warming display.  His thoughts were interrupted when he 
was nudged from behind. "Come on, get moving, lover boy."  Brock said as he laughed.  

Ash nodded and walked to his seat.  

After they were safely in the air Ash glanced over at Misty.  His smile widened when he 
saw Misty's arms wrapped around her daughter, the two sleeping peacefully.  They look 
so carefree.  Like nothing in this world can hurt them.  He frowned slightly at his 
thoughts.  And I'm going to make sure it stays that way.  Throughout the flight all Ash 
could think about was how he was going to protect two of the most important women in 
his life, his mom not being one of them at the moment.  
 
 
"Wow, it's so great to be back here."  Misty said once they were out of the plane and in 
the Pokemon World Airport.  

"We haven't even set foot outside and you're saying its great to be back?" Duplica teased.  
The guys had gone to get their bags as the girls waited for Misty's sister's and Ash's mom 
to show up.

Misty was about to reply when she was suddenly flat on the ground with a huge weight 
on top.

"Misty!" Her sisters yelled as they hugged her.

"Daisy, Lily, Violet…Hi."  She breathed out.  It wasn't exactly the welcome she was 
expecting, but it was a lot better than the one she was. "Its not that I'm not happy to see 
you guys, but would you mind letting me up?"  Each sister slowly got up and as soon as 
Misty stood up Daisy was the first to hug Misty. 

"We missed you so much baby sis."  Misty smiled at her other sisters, they weren't 
always so nice, and sisters were never really constantly nice anyway.  But when they 
were nice it was great.  

"I missed you too."  With that Daisy pulled away and the three sisters launched their 
attack.

"How have you been?"

"Are you seeing anyone?"

"Do you have a job?"

"You should really get a new wardrobe"

Misty rolled her eyes.  Nice moments never lasted long.  She stood back waiting for the 
questions to stop, hoping to for all hope that someone would come in and interrupt.  She 
wasn't ready for the searing kiss that someone had just planted on her lips.  

She looked up into deep chocolate brown eyes.  "Ash" She whispered, her mouth turning 
up into a smile.  What a way to shut her sisters up, that's for sure.

"Thought you could use a little help."  He said nodding his head towards her opened 
mouth sisters.  Aurora giggled in his arms.

"Thanks." She breathed out as he handed Aurora to her.  All she wanted right now was 
for him to do that again.

"Who?"

"What?"

"I'm lost."

Misty laughed at her sisters. "Well here's an answer to one of your questions.  Violet, 
Daisy, Lily, this is Ash.  Ash, my sisters."  Misty said introducing them.  She couldn't 
help but laugh again as the recognition flashed over their features.

"Ash?"

"As in Satoshi…"

"The Pokémon Master?"  

She was really getting tired of the three of them talking like that.  So she nodded and set 
the squirming Aurora down.  

"Aunt Lily!"  Aurora giggled as the reddish brown haired girl picked up the squealing 
five year-old. 

"Hey there sweetie."  Lily was always Aurora's favorite.  As her three sisters fussed over 
the small girl Misty looked at the people around her.

"Hey where did Brock and Susie go?"

"Something about getting a cart for all of our stuff, but that was like ten minutes ago."  
Todd said as he dropped some of their luggage.

Duplica smiled. "Gee, I wonder what they're doing."

"Ash?"

Ash turned around and smiled widely. "Mom."

Mrs. Ketchum crushed her son into a hug. "Ashy!  I missed you honey!  Have you been 
taking care of yourself?  Did you eat right?  Did you change your underwear everyday?"

Ash laughed, embarrassed. "Yeah mom.  I'd like you to meet someone."  He turned 
around to see Misty smiling at him and his mother. "Mom, this is my girlfriend Misty.  
Misty, my mom."  

Misty smiled at the girlfriend part and held out her hand. "Hello, Mrs. Ketchum, it’s a 
pleasure to meet you."  She wasn't ready for the hug that ensued.

"Hello dear.  Call me Delilah.  So you’re the one that's been taking care of my Ash here." 
She pulled back and looked sternly at Misty. "You better not hurt him, or you'll have hell 
to pay."  Misty smiled weakly and nodded.

"Mom…" Ash said, even more embarrassed.

"Mommy!" Aurora yelled as she ran into Misty's arm.

Mrs. Ketchum looked at them curiously then back to Ash.  She was slightly worried yet 
happy, a little angry and slightly hurt.  

Ash noticed his mothers look and put a hand on her shoulder. "She's not mine mom."  
When he saw his mom look up at him slightly confused he explained a little more. "Her 
name's Aurora, she's five.  Misty ran into a little…trouble a few years back."  Ash said 
with all seriousness in his voice.  Mrs. Ketchum just nodded knowing not to push it.

 
"Sorry we took so long, we had a little problem getting this thing."  Brock said as he 
walked up with a cart and a disheveled looking Susie behind him.

"Right."  Todd said drawing the word out. 

"No really!  You see we found one and then…" Susie laid a hand on Brock's arm and 
shook her head, laughing a little.

"Brock, they aren't going to believe you so stop talking and load up."

"But…"

Susie put a finger to his lips and shook her head.  Brock hung his head and did as told.  

"Man is he whipped."  Todd muttered under his breath, forgetting Duplica was standing 
right next to him. 

 "I wouldn't be talking, babe, go help him."  Susie and Duplica laughed as the two men 
grumbled and put all their stuff on the cart.

Ash had suggested that they all go to his place to explain a few things.  Once they all got 
there and everything was settled he began explaining their situation.  

"So how do you think we go about finding all this out?"  Daisy said.  No one but her and 
her sisters messed with Misty.  It was hard enough when they had found out what 
happened all those years back and she wanted revenge.  She, being the oldest, looked out 
for her sisters and Misty was her favorite, even if she didn't let it show.  

"Well," Ash trailed off when he heard a knock at the door.  Everyone in the room froze.  
It could be anyone, someone dangerous, someone not.  Ash slowly walked towards the 
door and opened it carefully.  He was surprised when a yellow ball of fur knocked him to 
the ground.  

"Pika pi!" 

"Pikachu!"  Ash yelled as he hugged the small yellow electric mouse. 

"He sensed you were here and wouldn't wait for me to grab your others.  It took a while 
to catch up to him."  An older man said from the doorway.

"Professor Oak!"  Ash hugged the man and invited him in.

After a few introductions and an hour of reuniting with some of his Pokémon and filling 
in the Professor the question was once again asked.

"How are we going to get all this information?"  Professor Oak asked.

"I was thinking…" He was once again interrupted by the sound of knocking, this time it 
came from the back, where the kitchen door was.  Growing annoyed he marched to the 
back and opened the door quickly. "What the hell do…what are you doing here?"  He 
said angrily.

"I wanted to help you."  

"You're part of the reason this whole thing happened in the first place."  

"That was five years ago, and how was I supposed to know he was going to go out and 
rape someone?"  The women yelled just as angry.

They both didn't notice someone else walk into the room. 


 "Jessie?"
