Ash then went out of the room looking for Gary. He asked the guard at the entrance
to the wing, and found out that Gary and Lara were in the war room devising battle
plans. So he got directions and went to the war room. As he walked in he heard Lara,
Gary, Misty, Brock, Flint and Suzie talking about how to find him.

"We have to find Ash." stated Gary exasperatedly.
was needed."

Gary turning around and exclaimed, "I knew you were more familiar than a passing
battle. But why did you hide your identity before?"

"I had my reasons. There are two of them."

"Oh, so why are you here now?"

"Mom explained why you think you need me. She also gave me a reason to fight even
without the Prophecy."

"So where have you been?" asked Brock clapping him on the back.

"With Clan Jaranie."

"You went to the clans?" Said Misty.

"Like I told you I wasn't going to let those loons ruin my life. I decided if I couldn't
live with their society I'd find one that could accept me. And I found that in the Clan."

"You were with the clan? But I thought only one adult survived." Asked Misty.

"Yeah only one adult survived. That was me. Another reason why I won't take command
of the Clans, I'm not a true born member, I'm a member by marriage."

"Marriage? You married into the Clan?" Misty asked.

"Yes, I met Lisala a half year after I left. I had done something stupid, not hard for me,
and got myself injured. Lisala was something of an outcast, she liked to explore the world
around her. When they were near civilization she would watch the people there. When she
found me she brought me back and then, when I was well enough she introduced me to the
Clan. Over the next few months we got to know each other. I don't know when I fell in love
with her but I did and then I married her. Since I had proven myself to the Clan they did
not kick us both out. They accepted me. I was going to wait a few months before getting
involved with the fight but . . .."

"I'm glad you found what you were looking for." stated Misty, smiling.

"What I was looking for, yes. But what I wanted would have had me stay at the Indigo
Plateau and then I'd be in the same fix as every other Pokmon Master at the Plateau."

Misty replied, "You were looking for a place to be accepted, but you wanted that place to
be here?"

"Something like that. But I'm still glad I found the Clan."

"Because of Lisala?" asked Brock.

"Yeah, I wish you guys could've met her you would have liked her."

"Well I'd like to meet your kids." countered Brock.

"Yeah, so would I." added Misty.

"Right now they are with mom. We can go meet them but first I want to know why I am
the only one who can save the world?"

"The Prophecy non-withstanding the only people who have a chance of convincing the people
to fight are the Pokmon Masters." explained Misty.

"But Gary is a Pokmon Master."

"I won a year after you but the Masters Tournament was the year you won. As you know that
tournament happens every 10 years. I missed it by a year. But you won that tournament so
you are the Pokmon Master. They won't listen to me because I never proved myself at the
Masters Tournament. You did."

"That makes sense. Every 10 years the Masters fight for the title of 'Master'. The next
competition is supposed to be in 4 years. So, Maybe they should have had it every 5 years,
or 2 years."

"So, you're going to help us fight?" asked Gary.

"Yeah, I'll fight. Do you want to meet Linn and Ley now?"

He was answered with a resounding "Yes."

Ash led the group back to his mother's apartment.

"So, how do I prove who I am?" asked Ash.

"Your mother knew you." replied Gary.

"My mother knew me, but you and Lara did not recognize me."

"You are right, but your Pikachu is still the most powerful Pikachu in the world. I did
not recognize you because I was not expecting you. I had also only met you once about
5 years before." Lara stated.

"Yeah, Maybe. So how are you gonna go about getting other cities to listen to us?"

"Well, we thought you could go in with a group to one of the cities and rally the people
to fight back or fight their way out." Gary said.

"So, what city are we going to free first?" Asked Ash.

Each of the people there replied for their own people.

"I was hoping that we could try to get the people out of Cerulean City sometime soon."

"Most of the people in Pewter are here. I don't know if the rest are willing to leave."

"All the clans are here now."

"All of my people are here. The people who did not want to leave their homes are enduring.
I think we should go to Cerulean City first." Stated Suzie.

"Last time I was home all of the survivors were in the gym."

"So, if we go in by fast boat or better yet water Pokmon we could get them out easily."
mused Ash.

"I think so."

"We'll talk about this more later. We are here."

As they came upon the door to Delia's apartment. It opened and 2 kids, a Pikachu and a
Mother/Grandmother tumbled out. The kids were yelling "Daddy" and the Pikachu was
saying "Pikapi" and the Grandmother was just smiling. Ash picked up the kids and the
Pikachu jumped on his shoulder. Delia invited everyone in. They all went inside and sat
down. Ash sat on the couch with the kids. Delia sat next to them on a chair, Misty sat
on the other side of Ash in another chair. Gary sat next to Mrs. Ketchum, Brock and
Suzie sat on a love seat next to each other and Lara was sitting on the floor next to Gary.

"Linn, Ley these are my friends from when I was younger," Ash introduced his friends
to his kids, "Brock and Suzie are sitting over there. Misty is sitting next to us. And Gary
and Lara are sitting next to mom."

Linn and Ley smiled "Hi."

Everyone said "Hi" in return.

They all talked about what they were all doing for the past 6 1/2 years. A few hours
later Misty noticed that Ash was asleep with the kids and Pikachu. "Hey guys I think
we should continue this tomorrow. Ash and the kids are asleep."

"Oh, they are. Maybe we should retire for the night and let them sleep. After all Ash
is recovering from an injury and we all need to sleep." Said Brock while looking over at them.

"And if I know Ash, if we wake him, even if it is just to send him back to his quarters
he'll insist on doing something. Let's leave them here for now." Stated Gary.

"Ok, I'll go get some blankets for them. Good night." Replied Delia

The others left the apartment and went to their own apartments. Delia put the blankets
over Ash and Kids.
