~* Other Poke'mon 2000 Story *~
For what seemed like the hundredth time, Professor Oak glanced at the flashing monitors above the hospital bed, looking for any signs of a response. And for the hundredth time, there was nothing there to give him hope; no change at all. With a sinking heart, he turned around to look at Delia, who lay unconscious in the hospital bed attached to the monitors.
"Why won't Mom wake up?" Ash worried as he clutched his mother's hand.
"Your mother has been though a lot, Ash," Professor Oak said gently.
"Professor Oak," Ash asked in a quavering voice. "Is my mom going to..."
Even though he had been thinking the same thing, he didn't want to alarm the boy.
"Ash, some of the finest doctors in the region work at this hospital. Your mother is in the best place she could be right now."
As they were speaking, the door of the hospital room slowly opened. Both Ash and Professor Oak turned around as the door creaked.
"Oh my God. Delia!"
Many years ago, Delia had been working as a research assistant at the Oak Pok?mon Research Laboratory. During her tenure at the lab, Professor Oak's wife was tragically killed in a car accident. Delia had found him sobbing at his desk the day after the funeral. All he wanted was for someone to hold him, take away his pain, make him forget everything that had happened in the last three days. And that person had been Rose, but now she was gone... gone forever.
But Delia was there. She had been fighting a growing attraction to her boss for some time, but now he needed her, wanted her. She took him in her arms, held him while he cried, comforted him, kissed him... and more. It wasn't until the next morning when they had realized what a horrible, horrible mistake they had made.
Delia decided not to tell her husband. They had a good marriage and, except for this one time, she had never been unfaithful to him. But her past came back to haunt her nine months later as the doctor explained to her why Will Ketchum couldn't be the father of her newborn son.
Delia didn't tell her husband then, either. Why should he and their son have to suffer because she had made one mistake?
But Professor Oak knew. When he first looked into the hospital crib and saw the dark-haired baby with the large brown eyes, a vague, uneasy feeling started forming in the pit of his stomach. His suspicions were confirmed when he tickled the baby's feet and saw that the second and third toes of the boy's right foot were exactly the same length... just like his own. Because Will had been there, he decided it was best to smile and keep silent. Professor Ivy went over to the crib and start to play with the baby in the crib. "Are you just the cutest little baby I've saw." Professor Ivy stop play with the baby. Professor Oak noticed her feeling her stomach they baby had just start to move around. "Felina...What wrong?! Are you oh ok?" Professor Ivy look over at him. "Yes...I'm fine, The baby just kick me that all." (Professor Ivy was four month pragnany with Professor Oak's Child) Five Month later Professor Ivy give birth to Professor Oak own daughter that they named Sasami Serenity IvyOak. (After her father Samuel. Because he nickname was Sammy and that was her nickname too.)
Delia kept her secret well hidden until the day when she was out side with Ash and Sasami both were eight years old. Sasami with Delia as Delia put up Sasami hair in pigtails and Ash had been hit by a car while riding his bike. Until the day she died, she would never forget the look on Will's face when the doctor at the emergency room told him that neither he nor Delia or Felina could be blood donors for Ash but for Sasami it like they blood was the same but different at the same time (maybe it because Sasami was the Whitelighter part of Samuel and Ash the Human half of him). As Will raged at the doctor, calling him incompetent and a liar, Delia knew what she had to do. And it would be one of the hardest things she would ever have to do. With a shaking hand, she dialed Professor Oak's number.
"Professor Oak?"
"Hello, Delia." He heard the catch in her voice. "What's wrong? You sound upset."
"Ash. He's had an accident. He's at the hospital."
"Oh my God, is he all right? What happened?"
"He was hit by a car when he was riding his bike. He needs blood."
"I'll be happy to come down and donate as soon as I..."
She quickly cut him off. "You don't understand! You're the only one who can donate blood for Ash! You... you're his..."
He then understood what she was saying.
"Delia, I know."
She was shocked. "You... you know? But how?"
"That's not important now. I'll be down there as fast as I can. I'm leaving now."
As she hung up the phone, Delia felt sick, drained.
When Professor Oak showed up at the hospital shortly thereafter and proved to be a perfect match with Ash's unusual blood type, Will quickly put two and two together.
Three weeks after Ash was released from the hospital, Will announced that he was going away on a Pok?mon training journey. That was nothing unusual; as a Pok?mon trainer, Will often went away for weeks at a time. But this time, Delia knew he wasn't coming back. Feeling responsible for their separation, Professor Oak kept his distance from Delia during the first few months after Will left. But as time passed and it became obvious that Will wasn't coming back, the two of them started to rekindle their friendship. In the nearly four years since then, they had become good friends. Professor Oak even fancied that he was falling in love with her. But since she was still legally married to Will, there was an unspoken line over which they would never cross. They weren't going to make the same mistake twice.
The day had started off uneventfully. Get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, take care of the Pok?mon, read e-mail... typical morning. However, it was such a lovely August day that Professor Oak was unable to resist the urge to take a bicycle ride to the Ketchum house to see what Delia was doing. He found her tending to her vegetable garden with Mimie sweeping the front steps nearby and Sasami seat on the front step of the Ketchum's house hold a flower pot with her hands on top where the dirty was inside of the pot (She was try to grow a flower with her magical powers be of Witch and Whitelighter for her parents). Their conversation was interrupted by a sudden shower, followed by, of all things, a brief snow squall. Something was definitely wrong; even Mimie could sense it. He quickly headed back to the lab to figure out what was going on with the crazy weather and the odd behavior of all the Pok?mon in the area Sasami had come with him. He was still at his computer early that evening when the doorbell rang.
Wonder who that could be, he thought as he headed down the hallway. He wasn't expecting anyone.
He opened the door and was surprised to see Delia shivering on his doorstep. The snow that had started earlier that afternoon had returned and intensified. "Delia, what on earth?" he exclaimed.
"Sorry to b-b-other you, but I w-wanted to see if y-you found out w-why the weather's b-been acting so strange all day." She hugged herself and stamped her feet in an attempt to stay warm as the wind whistled through the tree branches overhead.
"Goodness, don't stand out there in the cold, Delia! You'll get sick." He grabbed her arm and pulled her inside.
"T-thanks."
"Don't you have a heavy coat?" he asked as he struggled to shut the door against the blasting wind. The only outerwear she was wearing was her favorite light pink sweater.
"It's p-packed away in the attic. You d-don't expect to need a winter c-coat in the middle of August." Her teeth were chattering.
Professor Oak took her arm and led her into the living room where Sasami was. "You're absolutely freezing, Delia. Sit down there and I'll see if I can find a blanket for you." Sasami was wear her own blanket on her head. Delia notice her play and pick her up in her arms.
She sat down on the couch while he searched around the room for the blanket that normally lived on the back of the opposite couch. He found it in a heap on the floor, picked it up, and wrapped it around Delia.
"There. Now I'll get you some hot tea."
Returning a few minutes later with a tray containing a teapot and three cups of tea, Professor Oak handed one to Delia and other to Sasami and sat down on the opposite couch.
"That's much better. Thanks," Delia said as she took a sip of the hot tea. "Have you figured out why the Pok?mon and the weather have been acting so strangely today?"
"No, but I was in the middle of analyzing a television report about the situation when you arrived. Apparently Pallet Town isn't the only place being affected by this strange phenomenon."
"It isn't?"
"No. Come on, I'll show you."
While they were engrossed in the news report, they were startled as a window overhead blew out from the high winds raging outside. The transmission was then interrupted by a phone call from Professor Ivy, who was calling to report that the Pok?mon at her laboratory and throughout the Orange Islands were acting strangely.
"But that's where Ash and his friends are right now," Delia said in alarm.
Professor Ivy continued. "Professor, I really could use your expertise here. I've never seen the Pok?mon in the Orange Islands behave like this." Her assistant, Brock, ran by screaming in the background. "Or the people here, for that matter."
"I'll do what I can to help, Professor Ivy."
"Good. I'll send a friend of mine over with a helicopter to pick you up early tomorrow morning."
"The weather's pretty rough here in Pallet Town, Professor Ivy. Perhaps your friend should wait until things have settled down here."
"Don't worry. My friend Jim is experienced in flying in rough conditions. Besides, with the way things are going, I don't think we have much time to wait."
"Agreed. I'll see you soon, Professor."
"I'm going with you," Delia announced as he turned off the computer.
"Me Too!" Sasami said puting her arms in the air.
"No, Sasami! Delia, it's too dangerous, especially with the weather as bad as it is." He was already worried about being in a helicopter in this weather, but he wasn't going to let her risk her life as well and for Sasami her too little.
"I don't care," Delia insisted. "Ash and his friends are in the Orange Islands and they may be in trouble."
"Delia, I'm sure they're fine. Ash is a rather resourceful boy." He started down the hall to the living room. Delia was at his heels.
"Ash is my son. Our son."
Professor Oak whirled around. It was the first time she had brought up Ash's paternity since the day at the hospital nearly four years ago. In light of the aftermath, it had been a taboo subject between them since then.
"Please let me come with you," she pleaded.
He was ready to tell her no, that he didn't want her risking her life by going on a dangerous journey, but then he saw the tears starting in her eyes.
He sighed. "All right. I'll go call Professor Ivy and tell her to expect the two of us tomorrow morning."
Delia's face brightened. "Thank you, Professor."
"I'm come with you to." Sasami yell out.
"No, Sasami your mother would kill me if you where to come with us." Samuel say get on the floor to Sasami's level.
"But did her need a babysiter." Delia said smile.
"Fine... But you just hide inside with out notice you." Samuel toll Sasami.
"Yes." Sasami said jump up and down around in a cricle.
"Professor Ivy said that her friend will be arriving tomorrow morning around four AM. Hopefully the weather will have cleared up since then."
Delia was gazing out the living room window at the snowstorm raging outside. Sasami on her tip toes look out the windown too.
"Snow in August. It's just so unbelievable."
Professor Oak came up behind her. "Perhaps you'd better get some sleep. We're going to have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
"You're right. Thank you for everything." She brushed past him and went into the hallway.
"Bye-Bye Aunt Delia." Sasami said with a sad voice. (Why Sasami calls Delia, Aunt Delia is because Sasami is away around her and on day her call her Aunt Delia and that how it been ever seen.)
He followed her into the hall. "Wait. Where do you think you're going?"
"Home," Delia said as she put her hand on the doorknob.
"I'm not letting you go out in that," Professor Oak said as he put his hand atop hers. "It's too dangerous for you to be outside on a night like tonight. What I meant was that you could sleep here tonight, and we can leave first thing tomorrow morning."
Delia gave him a skeptical look. "Sleep here?"
"Yeah Sleep here Aunt Delia you can sleep with me." Sasami ran up to her.
"You can sleep in my bedroom with Sasami, and I'll stay out here on the sofa."
"Oh, I hate to put you out like that, Professor." Delia pick up Sasami.
"It's no trouble at all," he said as he led her back into the living room. "Besides, it will give us a chance to talk."
"Talk about what?" she asked as she sat back down on the sofa.
"About what you said earlier. About Ash. We've never really talked about what happened between us except for that time at the hospital."
"Oh," Delia said quietly.
"Delia, have you ever told Ash about what happened between us?" Professor Oak asked as he poured her another cup of tea.
"No! You saw what happened when I told Will."
"Why didn't you tell Will about what happened between us sooner?"
"Because... because I didn't want him to suffer because of the mistake I had made. Up until then, I had never been unfaithful to him. I just wanted to forget about it and move on."
She started picking at the blanket that lay next to her.
"But then when Ash was born, I knew that I wouldn't be able to forget about it. When you showed up at the hospital to visit me, I was so afraid that you would figure out the truth. And then you bring over your new girlfriend Felina and she four month pragnany with your other child Sasami."
Sasami look up like what she talk about.
"Actually, Delia, I did."
Delia looked up, shocked. "You knew? But how?"
"When I saw that Ash had dark hair, I started to get suspicious. But when I saw the toes, there was no doubt in my mind that I had fathered Ash."
"The toes?" Delia was puzzled.
"The second and third toes on his right foot. Haven't you ever noticed that they're the same length and not descending like those on his right? But Sasami did not have it because she a girl but she was my eyes. Well not color, The color is from her mother."
"Well, yes, but I didn't ever really think anything of it. It's nothing that would bother him."
"It's an unusual little genetic quirk found in the Oak males. I have the same thing, and so did my father before me. That why Sasami never got it because she a girl speak of that I don't how that have been because other thing my family tree there all males and woman are marred into the faimly. "
Sasami had fall sleep in Delia's arms.
"But if you knew, then why didn't you say anything?"
"Because I could tell that you were afraid that I would. And it wasn't my place, really."
Delia sighed. "I know. I was afraid that if I told Will that it would ruin our marriage...and it did."
"Has Will ever tried to contact you or Ash since he left?"
"No," she said sadly.
"Four years is a long time, Delia. Don't you think that it's time that you moved on?"
"I've thought about filing for divorce, but I don't know how well Ash would take it. I think he still believes that his dad is on an extended Pok?mon journey and will eventually come back. But I know he's not," she sniffled. "One little mistake and Ash has to be the one to suffer for it." She bit her lip and looked down at the Sasami, trying hard not to cry.
"Oh, Delia. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset." He got up from his couch and sat down next to her. To his surprise, she put her head on his shoulder and started crying softly.
"Delia, please don't cry. It's all right," he reassured her as patted her back gently. To his astonishment, she lifted her head and kissed him. His eyes opened wide as he pulled away. The electricity between them had been unmistakable.
"Delia, what are you doing?"
"You're right. It is time to move on." She kissed him again, and again he pulled back.
"Delia, that's not exactly what I..." She silenced him again with a kiss. This time he gave up fighting her and started kissing her back, something he had been wanting to do for a long, long time.
"I've been so lonely since Will left," she whispered between kisses. "And now that Ash is gone on his Pok?mon journey, there's been no one around for me to talk to except you."
"What about Mimie?" he asked as he started working his way down her neck.
"I don't think Mimie kisses as well as you do," she giggled as his lips continued their journey downward.
"...and I believe that this strange meteorological phenomenon may be directly related to the aberrant Pok?mon behavior." Professor Ivy was in the middle of giving a television interview when a helicopter landed at the small Valencia Island airport. "Excuse me, gentlemen. My colleague has arrived." She went over to the helicopter where a gray-haired man and an auburn-haired woman were stepping out of the door. The Auburn haired woman hold a two year old little girl in her arms. The little Girl had light-blue hair in pigtails with big red bows in her hair hold up her pigtails.
"Professor Ivy! It's good to see you again."
"It my... Mama!"
"Hello, Professor Oak. Samuel what are daughter doing here?" The two shook hands. Raising an eyebrow, Professor Ivy then turned to Professor Oak's pretty companion.
"This is Delia Ketchum," Professor Oak said as the two women shook hands. Then she grab her daughter from Delia."Hi Mama I miss you?" Sasami said huging her mother. "Sasami, Sweet heart what are you doing here?" Felina ask her daughter in a solf voice. "Daddy said I could come with." she said with a smile. Felina look at Samuel like Why did you bring her. Samuel turn away know is little girl rated him out. Felina notcied Sasami was not wear her shoes or skocks for that matter. "Samuel where are Sasami's shoes and shocks?" Holding one of Sasami's feet. "Oh there on the helicopter. I want to she if her was tickles on her feet. Oh yeah and Delia her because Her son and his friends are on a journey in the Orange Islands, and we're concerned about their safety."

"I'm not letting you go out in that," Professor Oak said as he put his hand atop hers. "It's too dangerous for you to be outside on a night like tonight. What I meant was that you could sleep here tonight, and we can leave first thing tomorrow morning."
Delia gave him a skeptical look. "Sleep here?"
"Yeah Sleep here Aunt Delia you can sleep with me." Sasami ran up to her.
"You can sleep in my bedroom with Sasami, and I'll stay out here on the sofa."
"Oh, I hate to put you out like that, Professor." Delia pick up Sasami.
"It's no trouble at all," he said as he led her back into the living room. "Besides, it will give us a chance to talk."
"Talk about what?" she asked as she sat back down on the sofa.
"About what you said earlier. About Ash. We've never really talked about what happened between us except for that time at the hospital."
"Oh," Delia said quietly.
"Delia, have you ever told Ash about what happened between us?" Professor Oak asked as he poured her another cup of tea.
"No! You saw what happened when I told Will."
"Why didn't you tell Will about what happened between us sooner?"
"Because... because I didn't want him to suffer because of the mistake I had made. Up until then, I had never been unfaithful to him. I just wanted to forget about it and move on."
She started picking at the blanket that lay next to her.
"But then when Ash was born, I knew that I wouldn't be able to forget about it. When you showed up at the hospital to visit me, I was so afraid that you would figure out the truth. And then you bring over your new girlfriend Felina and she four month pragnany with your other child Sasami."
Sasami look up like what she talk about.
"Actually, Delia, I did."
Delia looked up, shocked. "You knew? But how?"
"When I saw that Ash had dark hair, I started to get suspicious. But when I saw the toes, there was no doubt in my mind that I had fathered Ash."
"The toes?" Delia was puzzled.
"The second and third toes on his right foot. Haven't you ever noticed that they're the same length and not descending like those on his right? But Sasami did not have it because she a girl but she was my eyes. Well not color, The color is from her mother."
"Well, yes, but I didn't ever really think anything of it. It's nothing that would bother him."
"It's an unusual little genetic quirk found in the Oak males. I have the same thing, and so did my father before me. That why Sasami never got it because she a girl speak of that I don't how that have been because other thing my family tree there all males and woman are marred into the faimly. "
Sasami had fall sleep in Delia's arms.
"But if you knew, then why didn't you say anything?"
"Because I could tell that you were afraid that I would. And it wasn't my place, really."
Delia sighed. "I know. I was afraid that if I told Will that it would ruin our marriage...and it did."
"Has Will ever tried to contact you or Ash since he left?"
"No," she said sadly.
"Four years is a long time, Delia. Don't you think that it's time that you moved on?"
"I've thought about filing for divorce, but I don't know how well Ash would take it. I think he still believes that his dad is on an extended Pok?mon journey and will eventually come back. But I know he's not," she sniffled. "One little mistake and Ash has to be the one to suffer for it." She bit her lip and looked down at the Sasami, trying hard not to cry.
"Oh, Delia. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset." He got up from his couch and sat down next to her. To his surprise, she put her head on his shoulder and started crying softly.
"Delia, please don't cry. It's all right," he reassured her as patted her back gently. To his astonishment, she lifted her head and kissed him. His eyes opened wide as he pulled away. The electricity between them had been unmistakable.
"Delia, what are you doing?"
"You're right. It is time to move on." She kissed him again, and again he pulled back.
"Delia, that's not exactly what I..." She silenced him again with a kiss. This time he gave up fighting her and started kissing her back, something he had been wanting to do for a long, long time.
"I've been so lonely since Will left," she whispered between kisses. "And now that Ash is gone on his Pok?mon journey, there's been no one around for me to talk to except you."
"What about Mimie?" he asked as he started working his way down her neck.
"I don't think Mimie kisses as well as you do," she giggled as his lips continued their journey downward.
"...and I believe that this strange meteorological phenomenon may be directly related to the aberrant Pok?mon behavior." Professor Ivy was in the middle of giving a television interview when a helicopter landed at the small Valencia Island airport. "Excuse me, gentlemen. My colleague has arrived." She went over to the helicopter where a gray-haired man and an auburn-haired woman were stepping out of the door. The Auburn haired woman hold a two year old little girl in her arms. The little Girl had light-blue hair in pigtails with big red bows in her hair hold up her pigtails.
"Professor Ivy! It's good to see you again."
"It my... Mama!"
"Hello, Professor Oak. Samuel what are daughter doing here?" The two shook hands. Raising an eyebrow, Professor Ivy then turned to Professor Oak's pretty companion.
"This is Delia Ketchum," Professor Oak said as the two women shook hands. Then she grab her daughter from Delia."Hi Mama I miss you?" Sasami said huging her mother. "Sasami, Sweet heart what are you doing here?" Felina ask her daughter in a solf voice. "Daddy said I could come with." she said with a smile. Felina look at Samuel like Why did you bring her. Samuel turn away know is little girl rated him out. Felina notcied Sasami was not wear her shoes or skocks for that matter. "Samuel where are Sasami's shoes and shocks?" Holding one of Sasami's feet. "Oh there on the helicopter. I want to she if her was tickles on her feet. Oh yeah and Delia her because Her son and his friends are on a journey in the Orange Islands, and we're concerned about their safety."
