A fic in the Beloved Turnabout 'verse
Aug. 28th, 2017 12:52 am"Hey, Ash?" Upon hearing his name, the young boy looked aboved him with a questioning humm- Brock was staring at the framed picture sitting on the ledge of Ash's bed. "Are you the baby in this photo?"
"Yeah, I wasn't even two weeks old there," he explained as he climbed up the ladder to join his two friends, Pikachu at his shoulders. "I know it's weird to see a Charizard hold a newborn baby," he began, taking the frame so Brock and Misty could have a better look, "but Minerva had always been gentle with me."
Misty took hold of the frame to angle it better, Togepi approaching closer for a clearer view. "So, that man next to Minerva with the Clefairy, that's your dad, right?"
Ash nodded with a 'mm-hm'. "My dad's name is Mark, and his Clefairy's Alm. They're off working in another, faraway region called Kalos since I was six." A small, sad smile appeared on his lips. "We occasionally get letters from him, and a call at least once a year. Not sure what his job is, but he's pretty busy as far as I know."
"It's good to know he's keeping in touch," Brock noted, the 'unlike mine' part of it kept silent. "From the way Alm and Minerva looked at you in this, I bet they took care of you just as much as your parents did."
"Dad would joke Minnie was my second mom, and apparently, I learned to crawl and walk so I could chase Alm all over the place." Ash frowned as he glanced over to his TV. "I'm pretty sure there's a tape of me doing exactly that somewhere..."
*tbc?*
