Reader POV

Being back in my home town was nerving to say the least, I felt stared at by everyone. But I had ideas on how to score a great performance. I was in my performance costume, hand sewn by Valerie herself. I thought about different pokemon musicals that there were out there, but noting much was coming to mind. Serena seemed more put together than I did, so we decided to finish up for lunch, that was until we saw two familiar faces.

“Hey guys!” We turned to see Tierno and Shauna running up to us.

“Its nice to see you all again!” I said.

“It sure is! Say, may we have lunch with you all?” They both asked.

We agreed and took them inside for something to eat, as we did Ash started talking with Tierno about his battle with the next gym leader. 

“I feel like I’m going to win! Hands down!” He slapped his hand on the table.

“Don’t get your hopes up Ash. Trust me, the Anistar City Gym Leader is a force to be reckoned with.” I chuckled. 

“How would you know Y/n?” Ash replied.

“I’ve lived in Anistar City all of my life.” I looked at him. “And I’ve seen how many trainers give up even before entering the gym, so you better have an extraordinary plan to win against her.” 

“Oh I do.” Ash nudged me.

“I believe you.” I said.

After lunch, Ash, Bonnie, Clemont, Serena and I decided to go on a walk to burn some of the calories we’d just eaten. Tierno and Shauna had decided to stick back and practice their performances. 

“Look there!” Serena pointed towards the Crystalline sundial, a staple of the city. “Lets go over there!”

“This brings back so many memories.” I sniffed. “Altaria! Lets experience this together.”

As altaria was released, the sundial lit up with many sparkles. My first pokemon and I reminisced on the sight.

“Right we stand was the very same place I caught Altaria. This was also the first place where I decided to run away to. It feels like such a long time ago now.” A tear fell from my eye. I looked over at Clemont and he put his arm around me for comfort. This touch felt so warm, unlike before, it felt so raw and pure, it was a feeling of love, Clemont’s love for me. However, the moment didn’t last long as a wrenching voice interrupted. 

“Well, well, well. I thought you’d never show you’re face again.” I turned to see my father stood there with his Crobat. And my mother tailing behind him with her Liepard. Suddenly, the others had made a wall in front of me, as if they were protecting me, even little Bonnie had done so.

“Don’t even think about hurting Y/n!” Clemont shouted.

“We wont hurt him yet…” My father chuckled, maliciously. “We want him back from you thieves, you brainwashed him into thinking the way he does.” 

“Well you wont get him back! He belongs with us!” Bonnie said.

“Well, now that’s settled, its time to hurt you all!” I looked at my mother and she had a worried expression on her face.

“Wait! I challenge you to a battle! The both of you! You win, I come home. I win, you leave me be.” I pushed through the barriers of the people.

“Alright then, two pokemon each. Pick your partner.” My dad took his blazer off and prepared for a battle.

I turned behind me and saw that all of my friends wanted to fight for me. I immediately knew who to choose.

“Clemont, please, help me fight.” I grabbed his hand and pulled him next to me.

“I shall be the judge of this battle.” I turned to see a welcoming face. A woman, with purple hair and a cloak. She would be the judge of our battle in my hometown.

“This is a tag battle between Mr and Mrs L/n and Clemont and Y/n. You will use two pokemon and the winners will be decided after all the pokemon on either sides of the team are unable to battle anymore.” She spoke. “Without further adieu, with a hefty audience watching. Battle begin!”

“Chespin! Come out!” Clemont released his Chespin, ready for a ferocious battle. 

“Altaria! Take Centre Stage!” I pointed towards the makeshift battlefield, of which Altaria flew into.

“Tch, pathetic, you should’ve stayed Y/n!” Father mocked. “Scolipede!”

“Bisharp! Lets go!” Mother tossed her pokeball forwards.

“Chespin use Pin missile on Bisharp!” Clemont instructed, I wouldn’t’ve imagined that he would take the first move. However the pin missile was deflected with ease.

After a long time of back and forth, the first pokemon fell. Chespin.

“Chespin return, and Luxray, lets do this!” Clemont released his next pokemon.

Soon enough, Scolipede was taken down. And then Bisharp, and then Altaria. After a while of battling, it came down to a solo battle, me and my father.

“And then there were two.” His sinister laugh shook my body.

“We believe in you Y/n!” The others shouted in support.

“This will be easy.” He said. “Crobat! Finish this right now!”

“Florges, lets not give up hope!” I shouted, looking at my damaged pokemon.

“Crobat! Use Cross poison!” He screeched.

“Florges! Use Vine whip and swing around the Sundial!” I ordered, my pokemon followed through and managed to hit the Crobat, it wasn’t that effective. But I tried my best. Everything I tried wasn’t effective. 

“Even in the toughest situations, you still find Light!” I heard my mother shout. My father looked at her disapprovingly.

“Shut up woman, you don’t speak unless I allow you to.” Fathers words made my blood boil.

“Florges! I know you feel the same anger as I do. Put that anger into a huge petal dance!” I shouted, within seconds, I was lifted up off of my feet in a huge petal dance, it was as if I was dancing too. Then I heard.

“The battle stops now.” The cloaked woman shouted.

“How so?” I asked.

“I need to leave. Someone is calling for me.” She spoke before leaving the area.

“Tch, of course she’d end the battle.” Father shrieked. “And you! How dare you engage in conversation!”

“Florges!” I pointed towards my mother, who was about to be assaulted, it used its vines to pull my mother out of the situation and she looked at me. She next did something I’d never expected she’d do, she held my hand and spoke to my father. Her recovered Liepard and Bisharp had exploded out of their pokéballs with her.

“No longer will I be a slave to you. And unlike you, I’m ready to accept my son for who he is inside.” My mother spoke. “I’m done with you’re stupid ideals.”

“Stupid bitch, you were too ugly for me anyways.” Father shouted and walked away. “And don’t bother coming home.”

My mother then took my hands and turned to me, she spoke.

“Y/n, I know its going to take a long time to rebuild our relationship, so please, stay in Anistar for a bit.” She asked me.

“I can’t, I’m still on my journey, but after I’ve finished, I’ll be sure to.” I squeezed her hands.

“I’ll be here waiting then, I’m willing to accept you as my son. You and all of you’re friends are welcome to me. And when I settle down somewhere I’ll be sure to invite you all over.” Mum hugged me. “And, I’ll be sat at every single Showcase from now on. Even tomorrow, I’ll be there for you….

…My Son.”
