Epilogue Part 2

"Hey Brock! How are you doing?" Asked Ash.

"I'm really good actually. Guess who came to visit?" Said Brock.

"Who?" Replied Misty.

"Gladion!" Said Brock, as Gladion has appeared from behind a bush.

"Gladion!? Long time no see!" Said Ash. Gladion hadn't changed a bit, he looked exactly the same, but a bit taller.

"Hey, Ash. How's it going?" Gladion said cheerfully.

"Great!" Said Ash, obviously pleased to see him.

Just then, two figures appeared on the horizon. It was Jessie and James!

"Is that who I think it is?" Said Gladion.

"Who do you think it is?" Said Brock.

"Team Rocket... but it looks like... Jessie is pregnant!?"

"Yup," Brock said.

"Sorry we're late," Started Jessie. "Running is hard when you're pregnant." She was wearing a long, pink dress, which really suited her. Her hair was down, and she had gone for a more natural look today.

"Oh, look, it's the edgy twer- I mean, Gladion," Said James. James was wearing a white t-shirt with an unbuttoned green shirt over it, and some dark shorts. He topped off his look by tying his hair back in a ponytail, because everyone thought it looked good on him, and he kind of liked it as well.

"Aren't you still part of Team Rocket?" Gladion asked, obviously confused.

"No, we quit when we found out Jessie was pregnant. Raising a kid and being a villain would tire us out too much, and we had started to make up with these three," James said, pointing at Ash, Misty and Brock.

"Well, good for you," Said Gladion.

"Hey, how're all the people at the Pokémon school?" Asked Ash.

"Well, Lillie's recently started dating Kiawe, Lana confessed she's bisexual, but not dating anyone, Mallow is straight, but not dating anyone, Sophocles... actually, I don't know about Sophocles, but I do know that Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet have the most beautiful kid they could hope for, and everything's good," Gladion explained.

Misty was happy that things turned out the way they were. She Kissed Ash, and hugged everyone else (including Jessie and James). She was very happy with life.

"Hold on, where's Meowth?" Asked Brock.

"Huh..." James said. "Where is Meowth?"

"He was here when we left the house," Added Jessie.

********

"Ahh, this is the life," Meowth said, sitting on his deck chair, sipping his Pinap juice, thinking about how nice it was since he snuck back home to recline in the garden, without Jessie's crazy cravings and James's running about, fetching stuff for Jessie. Peace at last.
