Pokemon Black and White Rebirth: Chapter 5.1

Pokemon Black and White Rebirth.
Chapter 5.1: Be our guests.

Yesterday in Pallet Town, at the Ketchum home, Delia was sitting down on the sofa. She wiped away some sweat from the brow of her forehead. She was dressed in a pink shirt and some blue overalls. She removed her rubber gloves and placed them on the coffee table.

“You have dirt on your face. Let me get that for you sunshine,” the voice of another woman playfully muttered.

Soon Delia’s face was being rubbed with a wet wash cloth. Delia’s protests were ignored as the other woman laughed. Delia removed the wash cloth to find a young woman with dark green hair and slightly amused blue eyes. She wore a long red dress. The woman in question used her lips to give Delia a big smooch on the lips.

“Sabrina!” Delia gasped between kisses.

“Miss me, Muffin?” the Psychic Gym Leader of Saffron City asked, tightly hugging her.

“Yes, but I wish you’d have called. I still need to shower,” Delia muttered while getting off her couch.

“Sorry Delia. I just got so giddy when I got a few days off that I couldn’t wait,” she admitted. “Besides, I brought the maid to clean, so you can just relax,” Sabrina muttered while easing on the couch.

Delia frowned and rolled her eyes.

“Dear, I wish you’d stop calling Misty just the ‘The maid.’ It’s rude,” the woman stated.

“Sorry, Delia… I’ll keep that in mind,” Sabrina mumbled, feeling a tad bad for crossing her lover.

Delia then smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

“Make sure you do. I’m going to shower now, so make yourself at home, love,” Delia said while leaving to go shower.

The psychic woman then picked up a Sudoku puzzle book and started to use her brain.

Delia went upstairs to find a familiar face: the featly red head known as Misty. However, she was dressed in a frilly black Kalos maid outfit. She had a white apron, tied by a pink ribbon, and frilly white bonnet on her head. She was busy cleaning some pictures hanging on the wall with a feather duster. Her hair was a bit longer, and she still had the one ponytail on the side.

Delia put her head on the round, puffed part of the sleeve that covered Misty’s shoulder, making the maid jump in fright, dropping her feather duster.

“Gah, I’m not slacking off Ms. Sabrina, honest!” she cried out in distress.

“Sorry, Misty. It’s only me. I didn’t mean to startle you,” Delia apologized, laughing a bit.

“Oh, hello, Mrs. Ketchum,” Misty mumbled sheepishly, blushing.

“You’re doing fine Misty. I can see that debt paid off in a few years,” she praised.

“Right…” the former Water Gym Leader mumbled, although with the way she spoke, it was as though a cloud of shame hung over her head.

“Anyway, could you be an angel and get Mr. Mime some soup and Sabrina some coffee? I’ll be in the shower, so you’ll have to clean it later,” the woman of the house said.

Misty nodded her head.

“Um, Ma’am… um… could I see you later about my clothes, and… other things?” she whispered into her employer’s ear.

“Oh, oh yes, of course. Sabrina does have your bag, right?” Delia asked. Her maid nodded in response.

“Aright, bring it into my room, and we will take care of things later. You’re still okay?” Delia asked.

Misty nodded her head again, her face as red as her hair.

“Okay, off you go then!” Delia said while leaving for the shower.

Misty made way into the kitchen. She could see Mr. Mime playing chess with Sabrina’s Alakazam while Haunter was just goofing around on the sidelines. They paid her no mind as she started to make the coffee. While it was brewing, she quickly got a bowl of soup out of the fridge and heated it up in the microwave. The mime Pokemon smelled the food and left the game.

“Here you go, Mr. Mime,” Misty said while giving him his food.

“Mime, Mime,” Mr. Mime thanked her while levitating the bowl. The chuckling Ghost Pokemon then snapped his fingers, and the soup vanished right in front of them. Before they could say anything, a sandwich and a bag of chips appeared.

“What?” both the human girl and Pokemon said, confused. The Ghost Pokemon laughed at their weird expressions.

“Okay… I guess you can have a sandwich. …Where did the soup go?” Misty wondered as she tended to the coffee.


Meanwhile with Ash and Iris.

Ash just picked up his sandwich, while Iris was getting herself some water. It then vanished, and his and Pikachu’s eyes widened as it changed into a bowl of soup.

“WHAT THE?!” Ash, Iris, and Pikachu yelled.

“Ash… Where did that soup come from?” Iris asked.

“I don’t know Iris, but I do know that it’s going in my mouth,” he said, smelling it.

Iris gave him an annoyed look.

“Ash, don’t be a little kid, you don’t know where it’s been,” Iris warned him.

“Don’t care. I’m eating it!” Ash stated.

“Fine, just don’t come crying to me if something happens,” Iris muttered in a huff. Pikachu was still too freaked out to say anything.


Back in Pallet Town, Sabrina had finished the puzzle book. Misty came out with two cups of coffee.

“Coffee, Miss Sabrina?” she offered, still very weary of being alone with her.

Sabrina simply gave her a small smile, and took the cup. She drank it with pleasure. “Good girl,” Sabrina muttered as she patted Misty on the head, making her give an angry pout.

“I could make you lick my boots if you keep that pout up, brat,” she muttered, making Misty stop pouting.

Delia came back in a pink short-sleeved shirt and long purple skirt.

“Ah, I feel so much better. Oh, thank you, Misty,” she said while drinking the extra coffee cup.

“What were you doing anyway?” Sabrina asked, a tad curious.

“Oh, Mr. Mime and I were just planting a few veggies in the back yard,” she explained.

“Oh, well, I could have helped you,” Sabrina offered.

Delia simply waved her hand.

“No, no, no. It’s fine. I like getting my hands dirty every now and then, and besides,” she said.

“But as your girlfriend for three years, I should do nice things for you. I feel like I’m neglecting you,” Sabrina protested.

Delia hugged the psychic, and pulled her in closer.

“Oh, don’t be silly. You do help, like this!” Delia whispered while kissing the woman on the lips. Sabrina’s eyes rolled back into her head as the other woman worked her magic. She quickly broke the kiss feeling a hand move somewhere she didn’t think it would be going.

“Oh, you are a naughty little thing, aren’t you?” Sabrina coyly muttered while giving Delia a kiss on the cheek, and then another on the lips, working her own magic and returning the favor.

“Oh, you know it, baby,” Delia breathed as she kissed Sabrina passionately. They were about to do other things, when the doorbell rang causing them to jolt up in a panic.

“Ah, um, Misty, get the door will you?” Delia requested.

Misty simply stood where she was, her head turned behind them, and she was shaking. The doorbell rang once again, and Sabrina was getting very annoyed. She hadn’t gotten a chance to be with her girlfriend in weeks, and just as they were getting started, this happened.

“Move it!” She hissed while slapping Misty’s behind causing a cracking sound, making her squeak and run off to the door.

“Sabrina!” Delia yelled.

“Oh, please, that was a love tap. The padding you gave her softened the blow, and that’s the only way to get her to move when she’s like that,” Sabrina muttered.

“Well, someone just bought herself no desert tonight,” Delia warned.

Sabrina frowned, crossing her arms.

Misty quickly opened the door to find a tall man. He had short dark hair, charming eyes, and a large smile. He wore an expensive looking dark orange suit, red silk tie, and black leather shoes. He had a rose in one hand. Next to him was a tan and lean Persian. Its red jewel on its head gleamed in the sun. Misty recognized who this man was: Giovanni, the final Gym Leader of Kanto, and the secret leader of Team Rocket. Not that the public, or even the Elite Four, knew about that last part.

“Misty Waterflower? Um…I had heard you had been dismissed by the Elite Four, but… this is the home of Delia Ketchum correct?” the man asked, a tad confused. But soon his voice became smooth as ever.

“Yes, I’ll just… just go get her,” Misty said, not having a good feeling about this.

He stood there at the door, to find the woman he wanted to meet who had a large grin on her face.

“Gio! It’s been forever!” She cheered, giving him a huge hug, much to Misty’s shock and Sabrina’s annoyance at the intrusion.

“I’m glad to see you too, Delia… It has been too long, but duty calls and all that,” the man muttered while giving her the rose.

“Ah, Sabrina, it’s good to see you again,” he said, smiling at her while his Pokemon purred and rubbed against Delia’s leg.

“Giovanni,” Sabrina mumbled, obviously not happy to see him.

“Um… I know that it may seem odd of me to ask, but what are you doing here?” the male gym leader asked, a tad confused.

“I am here to spend time with my girlfriend. My question is: how do you know Delia?” Sabrina asked, making her fellow gym leader do a double take.

“I think we better go inside and I’ll explain a few things to both of you. Misty, could you get us another cup of coffee?” she asked as the confused Gym Leader came into her house.


Today Unova, Route 4.

Ash quickly woke up. He felt his body was a bit more relaxed and rested then how it’s been for days. He looked to find Iris sleeping next to him, with a stuffed Pokemon. Axew had a bit of drool coming out of his mouth, which kind of ruined the fairytale look Ash thought Iris had going for her. He looked to see that the sun wasn’t up. However, he couldn’t go back to sleep, so he reluctantly wriggled out of Iris’s sweet embrace. Pikachu and Purloin then woke up.

“Hey dude…you okay?” Pikachu asked while rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

Purloin and her trainer’s minds went back to yesterday, mainly Team Plasma. The Kanto trainer took his aura staff and the map of Unova. He allowed both of the Pokemon onto his shoulders as he walked a bit away from the camp so he wouldn’t wake Iris, Axew, or Bianca. After going a bit further away, he pulled out all his Poke Balls and called out Pidove, Oshawott, and Tepig. The two boys looked sleepy and Oshawott looked rather irritated. Pidove, however, seemed quite pleased.

“Man, what the f#k we doing up!” Oshawott yelled.

“Hey, early bird gets the Wurmple,” Pidove said.

“Sorry about this, guys. I know it’s early, but I feel like we all could benefit from some training. Those Team Plasma guys are tough, and we got through by the skin of our teeth,” Ash explained.

“Tepig, and I know the acts of cruelty they will do, and we cannot allow their …leader’s world to come to fruition. We must battle to protect our trainer and our friends,” Purloin added.

Pidove and Tepig looked like they understood. Oshawott, however, still looked like he wasn’t having it. He used Water Gun, soaking Ash’s head.

“Man, you must be out yo dang mind!” Oshawott protested as he was about to walk back to camp.

Purloin whispered something to Pidove who was laughing.

“Oh, well. Too bad, I thought you were this badass Oshawott, but as it turns out, you’re a wuss,” Pidove taunted.

“Do you have to be so mean?” Tepig asked as he watch the Water Pokemon keep walking

“Wait for it,” the female bird Pokemon muttered as she and Purloin were counting on their paws and feathers until the otter Pokemon stopped and turned around. He quickly came back to Ash.

“I’m not a wuss, I AM a badass!” Oshawott protested.

“Prove it, then.” Pidove challenged. She and Purloin knew that he was eating out of their hand.

“Alright, I will! Boss, let’s get training!” he declared.

“Okay then. Let’s run a few laps,” Ash said with a small laugh as they started to jog. The Pokemon followed from behind.

“You two were playing him,” Pikachu stated, looking at the two females.

“Maybe… it was fun,” Pidove admitted.

“Seems you aren’t a bird brain after all,” Purloin coyly muttered.

“Yeah!” Pidove muttered proudly while she flew a bit.

The bird then spotted some Bug Pokemon coming out of the woodwork.

“FOOD!” she yelled while using a powerful gust that knocked everyone back. This sadly blew the map out of Ash’s hands. Pikachu and Purloin tried to get it back, but their attempts were in vain.


A few hours, and one Rocky music theme training session later, the boy and most of his Pokemon were now half asleep.

Iris had woken up. She and Axew slowly noticed that they were missing a trainer. The girl then put Axew next to the sleeping Bianca.

“Axew, I’m going to look for Ash and the others. Can you look after Bianca until she wakes up?” she asked.

“Okay, Mama, you go find Papa Ash,” the green dragon said sleepily.

“Ash, Pikachu, Purloin, Pidove, Tepig, Oshawott!” Iris cried out as she kept looking around. “Oh, Zekrom and Reshiram, what if something happened to them? Or what if Team Plasma captured him as pay back?” Iris thought with a bit of panic, her mind painting horrible images.

She quickly shook her head.

“No, no, no. Iris, you aren’t a little kid, don’t let your imagination get the better of you,” Iris thought to herself as she kept looking.

Iris then noticed her talisman was glowing. The Zekrom part was…like it was pointing her toward something. The Reshiram part was glowing in her direction. The girl trusted her charm, like she always had, and after a small run she found who she was looking for. She smiled and was glad to see he wasn’t hurt.

“Okay, good, he’s okay,” Iris said with relief.

“Wait…did Axew call Ash… ‘Papa?!’” Iris thought with a mad and confused blush, her heart almost jumping. She was really unsure of how to feel about that. He was just a friend after all, right? Axew was just being silly, right? Silly little dragon was still sleepy. He didn’t know what he was saying. It’s not like he had a crush on her. The girl assured herself of this, unaware of how wrong she was. She then looked at the carefree look plastered on Ash’s face and growled at the sleeping boy. She was worried sick about this bum, and he didn’t have a care in the world. As punishment, she dragged him back to camp, along with his Pokemon. The aura staff made a line in the ground.

As she came back to the camp, Ash slowly woke up.

“Iris?” he mumbled as she dropped him.

“Okay! One, you’re crazy! Two… good morning, Three, if you’re going to go somewhere, tell me so I don’t have to worry, and Bianca, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Iris yelled in a panic as Bianca poured a canteen of water on her head. They only had two of those.

“Ah, I feel so much better now… oh morning guys, what’s for breakfast?” Bianca asked in a ditzy manner, unaware of Iris’s anger.

Ash woke up fully to find Axew hugging his leg, while Iris was chasing Bianca for such a waste.


“Aw man, I’m so thirsty,” Ash and Iris’s new companion complained. A few hours had passed since morning.

“Well, if someone hadn’t used our water to wash her hair, we’d have something to drink. Now we’ll just have to wait until a river comes by,” Iris scolded the new blond trainer.

“I said I was sorry,” Bianca mumbled.

“Come on, guys, let’s just get to the next town. It can’t be that far right?” Ash asked, while walking with his new aura staff. Pikachu was sleeping while Purloin was keeping a watchful look out.

He turned his head to Bianca, who had no idea where they were, while Iris was looking a bit irritated at him. Axew popped out of her hair and yawned.

“I told you not to lose the map, but like a little kid, you lost the map Nurse Joy gave us,” Iris said.

“Well, sorry, I was busy training and it kinda just flew off. Pidove and I didn’t mean it!” Ash protested.

“And another thing, who trains their Pokemon before the sun’s even up!?” Iris argued, while pointing her index finger at her friend’s chest.

“I couldn’t sleep, and I wanted to raise Tepig’s and Pidove’s confidence,” Ash snapped while he and Pikachu yawned.

“Well now you’re gonna be too tired to do anything! I’m not dragging you again,” Iris warned.

“I’ll sleep later in the day,” Ash mumbled.

“Um, guys?” Bianca mumbled.

“What is it, Bianca?!” Both Ash and Iris yelled.

“I think I hear something coming from those bushes,” Bianca said, pointing to some rustling bushes. What jumped out was a barking Lillipup.

“AHHHHH!” Purloin cried out in fright. The fur on her tail stood up straight as she jumped to the top of Ash’s hat while placing her claws in it.

“Aw, how cute! I’m gonna catch him!” Bianca gushed while quickly getting an empty Poke Ball from her bag.

“Um Bianca, wait –” Iris was about to object, but the novice trainer had already thrown the ball. She missed, and the dog Pokemon tackled her.

Iris quickly grabbed Bianca and got her out of the dog Pokemon’s tackling range. Ash and Pikachu were busy trying to get Purloin to calm down.

“Bianca, are you okay?” Iris asked a bit worried.

“Are you my mommy?” Bianca asked with dizzy swirls in her eyes.

Iris then shook Bianca, making her come back. “Huh?” she asked.

“Bianca, if you wanna catch a Pokemon, you have to fight him. Get Tepig out.” Iris advised.

“Yeah, show him who’s boss!” Axew added, swiping his left claw.

“Um, right, go Tepig!” Bianca cried as her starter came out. Her Tepig snorted embers out of his nose.

“Tepig, use Tackle!” Bianca cried. The fire pig rammed his body into the dog Pokemon, making it take damage.

The Lillipup fought back with a Tackle of his own, knocking Tepig back a bit.

“That’s okay Tepig, just keep using Tackle!” Bianca ordered.

Tepig once again tackled the Lillipup, making him weaken quite a bit. However, the dog Pokemon retaliated by biting the fire pig’s nose. Tepig was able to get him off, but was starting to get tired.

“Ahhh! What do I do?” Bianca yelled in a panic while Ash and Pikachu were in the background, still trying to calm Purloin down.

“Throw a Poke Ball!” Iris shouted, fingers turned into fists, and her arms shaking up and down. Axew was mimicking her movements.

“Oh right, Poke Ball go!” Bianca cried while pulling another one out of her bag. The ball sailed, bopping the Lillipup on the head, engulfing it in a red light as it went into the ball and closed. The Poke Ball then started to wiggle.

“Come on, come on,” Bianca pleaded, to the Poke Ball.

Iris, Axew, Bianca, and her Tepig eyed the ball as it kept wriggling less and less. The ball stopped and made a ding noise. Bianca looked to Iris, and she gave an approving nod. The girl picked up the ball and her Tepig and spun around happily.

“We did it! We caught a Lillipup! My first catch!” Bianca cried out to the world while hugging her Starter Pokemon.

“Great, I’m really happy for you, JUST KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME!” Purloin yelled as Iris, and Pikachu finally removed her from Ash’s head.


A few hours later, after some battles, everyone was looking around for food. Ash and his own Tepig, who was looking much better compared to when he was in captivity, was sniffing around. Oshawott was helping in his own way. Pikachu, Purloin, and Pidove took to the trees and sky to aid Axew and Iris, who were gliding and swinging to get a better view for food. Bianca, her Tepig, and her new Lillipup, however, were on the dirt floor. Hunger had gotten the better of them.

“Oh… I’m so hungry… why didn’t I bring any extra food?” Bianca mumbled to herself.

“Dear God, it’s me Bianca… look I know I asked you to help me leave home so I could go on my journey. But could you please get me some food for my friends and me, I’d really appreciate it!” the blond girl prayed out loud to the heavens.

“Well, little girl. The Lord Helix shall answer your prayers!” she heard a voice cry out.

Bianca then looked up to find an oddly dressed man. He wore a light blue suit and black tie. His head was covered in what Bianca’s Tepig could describe as a light yellow helix seashell. One of his hands held a basket of tasty looking and smelling candies. The oddly dressed human dropped the basket in front of the novice trainer.

“You’re giving this to us, for free?” Bianca asked hopefully.

“Why of course my dear child, may the Helix give you divine protection…and may the Dome burn with fire!” the strange man cursed, before running off into the woods.

Bianca then picked the basket up.

“HEY GUYS I FOUND SOMETHING TO EAT!” she cried out. The two trainers and their Pokemon ran toward her. They looked at the smiling Bianca.

“Oh hey candy, way to go Bianca,” Ash praised, which made Bianca beam with pride.

“Well food is food, so let’s eat. Let’s make sure everyone gets their fair share,” Iris said as they were about to pass the candy around. Then something made her stop.

“Wait, Bianca… where did you find this?” she asked out of curiosity.

“Oh, some guy gave it to me,” Bianca said simply, causing Iris to put the candy back in the basket.

She then slapped the candy out of Bianca, Pikachu, and Ash’s hands.

“Hey!” the three cried.

“Bianca, you never ever take candy from strangers! For all you know it could be poisoned!” Iris snapped.

“Oh, come on, they smell fine!” Pikachu argued.

“Do you want to risk it?” Purloin asked wearily.

“Pikachu, don’t be a little kid. I know you’re hungry, but think!” Iris snapped.

“Poisoned? But the guy seemed so nice. Why would he do that?” Bianca mumbled, very sad and confused.

“There are sadly some very sick people,” Purloin stated. Pikachu and Tepig nodded their heads. However, Pikachu still wanted to eat them.

“Look, let’s just put it somewhere else and keep looking, I’m sure, we aren’t too far off from a city,” Iris suggested.

“Okay…” Bianca mumbled while setting the candy down. As they started to walk away, Bianca’s Tepig couldn’t help himself, and in spite of the purple haired human’s warnings he started to eat the candies. After eating all twelve of the candies, he had his fill and ran back to his trainer. As he kept walking, the fire pig Pokemon felt strange–stronger, faster, and more powerful. Then his body started to glow too, where it was bathed in light. Pikachu turned around to see this, and Axew did too. They quickly turned the heads of their trainers around to see this.

“Bianca… Look down,” both Ash and Iris whispered.

“Huh –wHHAA?” she asked before looking down to find her Pokemon evolving. He was now bipedal and his tall was longer and curlier. His orange, yellow, and black color scheme was the same, only now he had yellow swirls by his side and yellow rings on his arms. The new Pokemon’s smiling face had two fangs at the bottom sticking out, along with candy crumbs.

Ash and Bianca pulled out their Pokedexes to find out about this new Pokemon.

“A Pignite… Tepig… I mean… Pignite… you evolved! That’s wonderful!” the blond cried out while grabbing a hold of her starter and hugging him.

Pikachu then gave Iris a dirty look.

“Don’t eat the candies, they might be poison, and not totally awesome rare candies! I’m Iris and I think I know everything, and I’ll call you a little kid if you don’t agree with me,” Pikachu mocked the dragon girl.

“Okay, I was wrong! Shut up!” she snapped.

“Guys… not now,” Ash mumbled as he was getting a headache, holding on to his staff for support. Wes was right when he said he would have gotten too soft with Brock around to feed him all the time.

“Well I guess I might have to use my sixth sense to find us food.” Iris declared.

“Wait, what?!” everyone asked.

“Yep, I have a sixth sense that has helped me out whenever I’ve called on it,” Iris bragged.

“Oh, really?” the cat Pokemon said skeptically.

“I’m not buying it. Ash, get Pidove to fly around and look for a town,” Pikachu suggested.

“Have faith, I shall lead you to the Promised Land!” the Dragon Pokemon Trainer declared. Her friends had sweat drops behind their heads. Iris pulled out her charm from underneath her shirt and held it tightly.

“Don’t let me down now,” Iris thought as Axew looked at her.


“I don’t believe it,” Pikachu muttered, seeing a grinning Iris, and wide eyed Bianca, Axew, and Ash. They stood right in front of Striaton City’s Pokemon Gym. However, from the outside, it looked like a lavish, fancy restaurant, and it matched most of the city: lean, lavish, beautifully crafted and rich with taste. Ash and Iris got a bit of a snooty vibe from the people.

“Let’s go! Food, food, food,” the blonde yelled as she dragged her two friends inside.

The three looked around to find tables, people, and Pokemon enjoying good food, and waiters and waitresses dressed like fancy butlers and maids. Ash was looking at the maid girls with a slightly perverted gaze, imagining how Iris would look in one of those. Iris dragged him away from the ladies with an annoyed look, muttering that he was a child.

The three found a table, happy that they were all finally going to eat something. Still, they had forgotten that this was a gym.

And the Gym Leaders were ready to make their grand introduction.

End of chapter.
