It all started with Nebby//AshxGladion [Under Editing]

•9•

Ash felt suspicious the next day his little brother arrived. More pokemon have gathered around the cabin and watched him with the only familiar face (human face) of Gladion. The cabin was too big for them and though Ash wants Max to live with him on the Pokemon island he can't take him there. He has to go cabin hunting and find themselves a home but the problem was with that he doesn't have a job. So he was tight with money. He has never worked a professional job so he was hesitant on how he could get his qualifications.

He had the experience not the diploma. Another worry was that he had many great areas to look at and was passionate into all of them.

Ash sighed and stroked the platinum blonde hair of the human leech that's hugging his waist on the sofa and had buried his face into his stomach. He has claimed to not let go of him fearing for him leaving him again.

"If I pass the nursing training assessment I can work as at the same industry as nurse joy. I did hear they were short on doctors and nurses so If I'm lucky I can start as soon as I mention the job...hmm?" Ash heard a knock on the door and footsteps fading from the outside so he dried to get up before Lycanroc (who was put at his guard by said worrywart) growled at him.

"Well then sir, would you be so kind to open the door and check what has been dropped?" Lycanroc looked at him in the eyes with his deep scarlet eyes glaring at him and just nodded. Lycanroc jumped from the sofa and walked over to open the door and looked around once outside but growled in confusion.

"Look down." Ash instructed and the canine pokemon looked down and found a strange envelope on it. He picked it up with furrowed eyebrows and walked back inside after of course closing the door. He continued his snuggling session done by Ash's Lycanroc who wouldn't leave him alone and it didn't bother the savage like pokemon so he left it alone, he gave the envelope with his name on it and he felt suspicious of what it was for.

Gladion moved on his lap a little and so Ash thread his fingers through his platinum blonde hair to soothe him and it worked after a couple of minutes seeing as he went back to snuggling into his stomach.

Ash after examining the envelope found nothing strange on it or with it, opening it he found a credit card along with a cheque with a certain amount of pokedollar (tell me if its wrong as Ican't remember - I'm using google for this) on it.

25 million?!

"You have got to be kidding me..." He whispered and glanced at the small note attached to it just behind the cheque and read it at loud.

"Consider this a small present from a friend of your dads. I'm sorry I haven't been able to reach out to you until recently, your mother cut off the ends of finding you and prevented me many times from getting in contact with you. I hope this will solve your finance problems." He read outloud in confusion as there was no visible signature for the said person who wrote this but he chuckled at the mention of his mother.

"Sounds like something she would do... but the question remains unanswerable. Just who is our father?" He hummed as he looked at the note pondering over who would do this and considered over the idea of not using the cheque and getting a job on his own. But 25 million... it would be a good clue in finding out who his father was so in the end he decided to use the money for him and his brothers friends. Also seeing as Gladion will certainly not let go of him at this point as he feels the grip on him is tight he will need to buy not a cabin but a two story house.

"Ash?" Gladion looked up at him with a innocently puzzled expression which Ash chuckled at and stroked his head at. Gladion blushed.

"Its nothing. But at the topic of shelters-" Gladion pouted when he doesn't know what he's talking about.
