"Congrats Regina." Everyone cheered. It has been a week since I became the champion of Kanto. The official meeting and conference will take place a few days after my recovery is complete. Turns out my adenine rush was so high that after battle I caught a high fever. I did not know that was possible.
The part was happening in a high class resturant. Every gym leader, elite four member was invited along with my friends. Why would Linda spend so much money on it. She does not even like parties.
Everything was going well. Everyone was congratulating me. But sorry, wether you treat me nicely or not I still have to make some huge changes in Kanto to be able to decrese the crime rates by 80 percent. Gym leaders are not only to fight trainers and award badges but to also cordinate3 with police and leaders and fight crime. Basically they are also a type of rangers.
Better gym leaders. More less the crime. Team rocket was the biggest organization but not the only one. There are pokemon hunters, Smaller gangs etc. Kanto needs a lot of changes.
I saw three people standing together with Linda. All three had masks on. I curious went towards them.
"Hi Linda. Who are these." I asked.
"Oh these. They are the master elites and pokemon master." Linda replied.
"Oh." I said. Then...
"Wait what" I practically shouted. Everyone had gone quiet on hearing what Linda said.
"Well these are Red Ketchup, Blue Oak and Green Hazel." Linda said. Wait those surname means...
"Dad." Both Ash and Gary said in shock.
"Red." Delia asked in shock. Mrs Lavender Oak Gary mom and a human doctor herself was shocked. As much as I remember they had gone missing five years ago. Its said during an expidition they went missing.
"Yeah just two months ago our scientist were able to track the wormhole they got lost in. They have asked for a temporary break from there duties before rejoining as pokemon master and master elite." Linda announced.
Everyone was shocked. No one knew what to say.
--In professor Oak laboratory--
"Red, Blue, Green I am so glad you are back." Professor oak said with tears in his eyes. Delia and Lavender eyes were red. They were barely able to hold it in. I guess they don't want to break down in front of us.
"You fought hard champ. You were so great." Red said to Ash.
"Yes dad." Ash muttered his own eyes red. Though he did not cry.
"That was one heck of a battle you gave in the semi finals Gary. It was great." Blue said.
"Thanks Dad." Gary muttered. He himself was barely able to hold it in. Everyone went there own home. They had a lot to catch up on after all. I was about to get in car with Linda when Green stopped me. She wanted t talk to me.
We went near the rout 1. She was feeling restless for some reason.
"Regina. There is something you must know. I can see that you don't remember much before you were 10. Linda told me so." She said. That's true. But why would Linda tell her.
"Regina. I am your mother." Leaf said seriously. Wait. What.
I don't know what to say. I wanted to question where she was all these years. Why did I have to live alone by myself. but then she was stuck in a wormhole for five years. But still..
"I am sorry, I guess I am not- I cannot-" I stammered.
"Its okay. I understand. I just ask you a chance to be your mother again. You don't have to accept me. Just let me treat you like my daughter." She said with a gentle smile. I do not know what to say but the idea of a family. I mean she is already among the top 3 strongest trainers in the world so the chances of her lying to get a champion daughter seem dim but...
"I would like a DNA test to be done in front of me. Also if what you said about being my mother turned out to be true then let's see how it goes." I said simply. She beamed realizing that I was giving her a chance.
Two days later-
The test result came out true. I was her daughter. She meanwhile took care of me in the past two days just like a mother would. She would scold me if I in her opinion overexert myself by going out to my pokemon. For some reason I did not feel like setting up boundaries. A part of me felt like this was normal. This was how it used to be before she disappeared and my memory loss.
Her house is the biggest mansion in the viridian city. We decided not to tell anyone about our relationship. It's a bit complicated but we are trying to work things out so yeah. Meanwhile I still remember Brock and Misty reaction on finding out there companion ash mother was a top Hollywood star and his father is one of the top 3 strongest trainers in the world and the legendary former kanto champion.
IT WAS HILARIOUS. There jaws were left hanging open. Well all seems to be going well for now. May all remain as peaceful as it is now.
