It was now late night, clouds start to clear the skies as the full moon rose high above. The cold wind was breezing through the street, making a low whistling noise. the streetlights began to flick on as The people were walking along the pathway and drivers on motorcycles were driving on the road.

We now set at two men as they were having a father and son conversation. A raven hair boy was standing outside someone's house. The boy name was Ash Ketchum, wearing a blue jacket with a bag on his shoulder, but his eyes were staring at the person in front of him. Which was his dad, Red, who left his son years ago since he was age 6. After he divorced his wife Delia, moving to the kalos region for a better life but inside his heart, he really loves his son.

Red's hair was same as his son but the colour was brown and was wearing a nightgown, his expression seems a little shocked to see his son while standing near the opened slid door. But when seeing his son's face, he knew his son's expression was going to be. Red was prepared to talk but Ash interrupts

"Hey dad. so! where were you at the airport?" Ash questioned, flatly to Red, his father. waiting for him to answer.

Red signed, he knew why his son was acting like this and began to speak "Ash, look, just..give me second to reason. please, wait here" he said, sliding the door closed, leaving his son outside at his door.

Ash rolled his eyes and signed "terrible, just terrible" he muttered himself while shaking his head. he looked around his surrounding to see people walking by.

seconds later, the door slid open, Ash notices and looks to see his dad fully dressed without a nightgown, but was holding a coat in his hand, coming out of the sliding door. Ash was confused but saw someone behind his father. A women came out the sliding doors, fully dressed. she looks at Ash then turns to Red who was putting her coat on like a gentleman.

When Red puts the women coat on, she turns to face him and spoke "bye Red" as she was about to leave, she leans towards Red and gives a peck on his cheek, she quickly walked between the two men and strolled down the street.

Red looked on while his cheeks blushed "bye, Blue" then turns his head towards ash, giving his father a straight-faced expression.

"Really," Ash said flatly, by raising one eyebrow, looking straight at his father.

Red signed " come on," he said, gulped a little, mentioning his son to come inside, he enters the house while Ash follows behind. As Ash enters his father house, he saw books, cups and tools on the shelf, empty bottle of boozes were at the table, a little messy you can say. the smell around the room was a little niff and three lights were brightening up the small room making it clear to see. Red starts clearing up the messed up bed while his son looked around the house.

"Ash, I was about to go to the airport but, erm..I had little errand" Red spoke to his son.
Ash turns his head to look at his father, still having a straighten expression

"Yeah, I guess you were" he replied and continues on looking around the house

"Well, your here now, that goods," Red smiled at his son but Ash was absent, continues looking around "so err, how your mum?" Red asked.

"Where do i sleep?" Ash said straightly, not answering his father's question. finished rummaging around the small room.

Red signed again, knewing his son action.  "look, son"

"Ash," he said, by looking at Red

Red signed once again and spoke, ignoring his son's action "look, your mom didn't have a choice. it was either this or the juvi hall and you can't keep moving around, every time you get into trouble" he said,

Ash looked at his father and spoke out "well, it worked for you, did in it." he said, shrugging his shoulder.

Red looks at Ash then at the floor, quietly grinned, he controls his emotion and looks straight at his son "look, neither of us, asked for this. but I promised your mom that I'll take care of you" he said in a soothing tone and continues on "ok, so there will be rules"

"Hm, rules," Ash said. a little surprise and grins.

"Yeah, she and I agreed to, but I'm sure you'll manage, somehow," Red said.

"Yeah, I guess" Ash murmurs. Slowly nodding his head lightly.

"ok, the rules are just plain simple, you go to school and after that, come right here." Red said clearly explained to his son. Ash thought that was it, clearly thinking that his father forgot one thing but Red can see through him

"one more thing, I do not want to see or hear about you being anywhere near a car" Red said. points out

"come on," said Ash, pleading for his father approval.

"I mean it," Red said, kind of commanding his own son.

Ash signed in defeat. "fine"

"good boy, now, here's your bedroom" Red replied, while walking towards the door, sliding it open and revealing his clothes hanging and stacked near the draws. there was even a small bed on the floor.

Ash gases his eyes at the place he's sleeping then at red, raising his eyebrow. "really, in the closet" he said. thinking it was a joke

Red heavily signed and spoke "just, make yourself comfortable" standing beside Ash's new room.

Ash walks slowly towards the closet and enters. he looks to see his small bed near to the wall.

"lights out at 10" Red asked and walked away, leaving Ash in the closet which is now his bedroom.

after he left, leaving his son alone. Ash slid the door close then looks around. "can't believe my dad is giving me a closet to sleep in" murmured himself. He takes his bag out from shoulder, landing it carefully on to his bed and starts to take out his clothing. but he hears voices and music that was interrupting him. Ash looks around to know where that sound was coming from. he saw a curtain in front of him. he walked on top his small bed and opens the curtain to see a neighbour through the window, eating ramen while watching television. the neighbour notices Ash and waves over at him, though it wasn't weird. Ash gave the neighbour a friendly smile expression and nods then closes the curtain, giving his neighbour some privacy. Ash turns and looks around his small, closet bedroom, looking around while he signed " seems like I'll be stuck in this little room for a while" as Ash sat down in his small bed which creaked a little and was against the wall.

the lights were now switched off. it didn't take long for him to sleep on a small bed, after having the worst plane trip and a emotional event with his father, Red.
