(ash pov)

I woke up from a dream. in that dream I was like a child and I  was holding hand with a girl. We were laughing together, playing together and eating together. She had blonde hair and she was wearing a pink dress but I wasn't able to see her face, her face looked blur. Then I got shot awake and looked that I'm still in my bed... that dream felt so real that I can't take my mind of it. So I looked at the clock besides my bed at the table and it show that it's 5:46. I got up taking mind off that dream. So I went to bathroom. Took a shower. brushed my teeth and got freshened up. I got out of bathroom and saw Pikachu opening his eyes as he yawns, then he saw me and then suddenly jumped into my arms and happily said

"Pika pika pi.... ka pika pi"

although I didn't understood his words but I was able to understand his feeling. He was wishing me happy birthday this caused me to smile and hug him.

"thank you buddy"

I said and broke our hug

"c'mon let's go to kitchen and make some breakfast for us"

I said as we broke the hug and he goes back to his place. means my shoulder. I smiled at this and then went to kitchen and started making pancakes for me and Pikachu.

we both made pancakes and put it on the table and just as we were about to eat it mom and aunt came. they looked at us and chuckled.... and then they came to me and hugged me. Not legendery bone crushing hug but a normal hug after that they wished me happy birthday. I smiled and returned that gesture. Then they looked at table and aunt said.

"Look like chef Ash is cooking is special dish pancakes... I want some too"
She said as she looked at the pancake covered in honey and on top of that was butter. Mom followed her and said.

"Yea chef .... I would like some pancakes too"
She said as both both aunt and mom chuckled. I sighed and took a pan and started making pancakes.

"It's my birthday and I'M the one doing the work that's not fair guys"
I said as I started making pancakes and heard their giggles too.

"But you make best pancakes honey"

Mom said and I just smiled a little smile and continued my work.
After that I made pancakes for all of us then we started our breakfast talk about things and and how they were going to celebrate my birthday.
I told them I want a simple and small party. Just our family members and few friends just that.
And to my surprise they agreed to it. And after that they started to talk which doesn't interest a single bit so I focus on my breakfast just like Pikachu was focusing on his pancake covered in ketchup..... Really Pikachu seriously love ketchup. well I shrug it and started eating my breakfast.

I was quietly eating my breakfast and then I heard aunt wispher to mom

"You should give it to him now."

She wispher to mom I didn't lifted my head and try to show them that I wasn't listening to their wispher. Just then I heard mom.

"I'm waiting for a right moment to tell him"

I wanted to know what they are talking about but I stayed silent. Maybe it's some there ladies talk so I didn't disturbed them and as soon as I finished my breakfast i grabbed my plate and got up from my seat to put my dish in washbasin but then I heard my mom voice.

"Ash"

She said and then I looked at her. I could tell that she wants to tell me something but for some reason she isn't able to so I  look at her and asked.

"Anything you...... Need mom"

I asked her and she shook her head side wards

"No but just sit down. I'll... I'll be back in a second wait here okay."

She said and then she got up and went to her room. Now I'm 100% sure something is up. I looked at aunt and asked her.

"Umm... Aunt what's going on."
I asked and and she simply said.

"You'll understand it soon. Wait for your mother to come."

She said and I did what she told me and sat quietly and then after some seconds mom came with a..... Letter in her hand. It looked like bit yellowish look like its been kept for more than 4 to 5 years.
She came near me and gave me the letter. I took it from her and look at her. She had a slight tear in her eyes. I wanted to ask her what's bothering her but then she ordered me.

"Please read the letter Ash............ It's from your father"

At the mention of dad I was shocked. Now it's understandable why mom looks sad. I thought about a second and then I opened the letter in that it's written.

"Dear Ash,
If you are reading this, then that means I'm dead. I've been ill for a while. I thought maybe I can overcome this disease but i couldn't and that's the reason I'm writing this letter. Well.... Now it might be your 19 th birthday so happy birthday son and I'm sorry that I'm not with you....

well... leave the sad matter and focus from here on what I'm telling you. Look I want you to get married... well if you aren't married yet. I want you to marry my friend daughter. Well he and his family used to live with us and his daughter and you were really good friends and you may call it coincidence or fate but two were born on same day too. At that we decided that we marry you two. His daughter name is Serena. You and her were really good together and to tell you the truth you both can't live without eachother. That's why ash I'm writing this to tell you my last wish that you marry Serena and be happy with her.

Look son I knew about you more than even you think. You think of others before yourself. Your selfless and that's I want you to marry her. She will take good care of you.

and I can't say to look after your mother or your aunt because I know that you will take even better care of them than I ever can. But I want to say to take care of yourself and find your happiness..."

that was the end of letter I smiled at the letter and a tear fall from my eye but then I eyes fall on the backside of the letter. Something was written there.

"Ash it's your birthday and it can't be possible that I won't give present to you.... Ask your mom about the black box. There's a present for you in that"

I was surprised and then I looked at mom to ask about the black box.

"umm... mom there's----"

I wasn't able to complete my sentence as she showed me a black box as tears run down her eyes.

"even after he is gone he still cares about his family. his son..... he.... I....."

at this moment she started crying both me and aunt hugged her. Even Pikachu came and hugged her with his mouth covered in ketchup.

we broke the hug and then laugh at Pikachu action....

then I looked at the box and said.

"Well.... Let's see. What dad has for me"

I said and then opened that box. In that box was a master ball. This made my eyes wide and then I slowly picked up that ball and pressed it's button from that bright white light emerged. After that light dimmed down we all saw a cat like pokemon. All of ours widen as we looked at that pokemon. First he looked at us and then he looked at me and said.

"how can I help you master"
