Pokémon: The Next Generation (for Footchu)

[nomoewoes]

Years have passed since Ash defeated Leon and won the Masters Eight tournament, being one of the most talented trainers in the world at such a young age. After spending years traveling the world and battling the strongest trainers in the world, he reconnected with Serena when they got older and had more life experience. At that moment, Serena vowed to never leave his side. And she never did as they both won tournaments and contests respectively with them supporting each other along the way.

Years later they got married, bought a house in Pallet Town and Ash and Pikachu finally decided join Serena in retirement. During this time, they had kids of their own and the two of them are about to have an empty nest soon as it’s time for them to explore the world together. Well their son is going to travel the world and their daughter is refusing to be left home alone. Sally, the younger sister was in her room getting her bags packed, making sure she had everything but in the end she had multiple suitcases full. Something totally not equipped for traveling. Sally was wearing a red shirt with blue gym shorts and plain white socks. All the while Serena was downstairs cooking, dressed in a nice pink shirt, blue jeans and an apron. She was humming a son while making chili for everyone

Today was the day.

10-year-old Zane Ketchum stood in his room, packing his backpack. This was the 10th time had he paced his backpack. But the excitement of his fast-approaching Pokémon adventure only had so many ways to be expressed, and one of those was constantly packing and unpacking his bag, quintuple checking that every item he could possibly need was present.

Zane had a change of clothes, Pokémon food specially prepared by Dad's old friend, a map, a first-aid kit, a flashlight, a tent, snacks, a couple of his favorite books, and much more. Zane's change of clothes was actually identical to what he was wearing now- a white hoodie with a Pikachu tail image on the front and back, a black shirt, light blue jeans, white socks, and travelling boots.

Zane glanced at the clock. "It's almost time. I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

Zane repacked his bag and went downstairs, where he tied his shoes.

"Mom, Dad, I'm heading off to Professor Oak's lab. Sally, if you still want to trave with me, let's go." He called out from next to the front door.

As Zane was getting himself ready to go, Pikachu peaked his head over the couch and waddled over to him, nuzzling his cheeks against his leg. Serena heard him saying his goodbyes and sighed. She knew this day was coming and wasn’t going to stop him, but she’s definitely going to be a bit lonely. “You should have a quick bite to eat before you go…” she said as she walked into the room from the kitchen.

“I’m coming! Don’t go without me!” Sally yelled as she made her way to the stairs, occasionally grunts coming from her direction as she carried her suitcase down the stairs. She huffed as she dragged it to the front door and smiled. “Ready!” She said, not aware how much she overpacked. Serena couldn’t help but smile, remembering how she had a similar dilemma when she was first starting out

[Spank Life]

"Ah, I'm good, Mom! I ate a couple hours ago." Zane had been the first person out and about this morning, too excited to sleep in like he might have on another day. His breakfast had been a filling PeanutButter sandwich with a banana.

Zane's eyes widened at the sight of Sally's suitcase. It was ginormous! And evidently heavy, too, he thought, looking at his little sister struggle. "Uh, Sally, you can't bring that with us. It's way too big and heavy. It's not practical at all."

[nomoewoes]

Serena was a bit disappointed but she understood. Selfishly, she was wanting just a little bit more time with them but she knew she had to let them go and spread their wings. It won’t be all too bad if her husband stays around the house a bit more like he promised. Though she’ll believe it when she sees it.

“Why not! The wheels are all terrain and it’s not like I’m asking you to push it!” Sally snipped at her brother. He always wanted to rain on her parade! They’ve been getting into a lot more arguements recently, though Serena chocked it down to pretraveling nerves. “Hey, knock it off you too!” Serena tried to butt in before it gets too out of hand

[Spank Life]

Zane raised his hands, placatingly. "I'm just saying that a suitcase isn't very practical, Sally. I don't know how well that suitcase will roll over grass or mountains." After all, suitcases were mainly designed with sidewalks, carpet, and airport floors in mind. Not travelling across the region through the vast wilderness.

“Well I’m not going to unpack! There’s precious stuff in here that I’m not going to negotiate with! So figure out a plan, smart guy!” Sally said, a bit bratty as she puffed out her cheeks and stuck her tongue out at him. Serena walked over and gave Sally a firm swat to the seat of her shorts, making her jump and yelp. “Enough. Both of you! Sally, I want you to listen to your brother and Zane, you should be more empathetic with your sister and give her a hand with repacking.” Serena said, putting her foot down

[Spank Life]

Zane startled when his Mom intervened.

It was for the best, he thought, watching Sally receive a swat to her bottom. This could have evolved into a more serious argument.

"Yes, Mom. Come on, Sally. Let's grab you a small bag that'll be easier to travel with." He said, before beginning to walk up the stairs toward her room.

[nomoewoes]

Sally’s pouting and annoyed expression was evident on her face as she rubbed her bottom slightly. She wanted to complain but she knew her mom meant business when it comes to punishments. Often it’s her that’s the one over her parents knee but she has heard her brother get a swat on the seat of his pants and even getting punished in the other room. Though she has never actually seen it in person out of fear she would be next for snooping. With an annoyed sigh, she followed him while wheeling the suitcase. “Why did you have to make a big deal out of it? Thanks a lot, jerk!” She growled at him
