Extra 12: I choose you! (7)

Time passed slowly and 5 years flew by since the news that Delia was pregnant.

Since that day, Kurama had quit his job as an investigator and had concentrated completely on Delia. There were no financial problems because the job of an investigator was well paid and he had accumulated enough money to live comfortably for at least 10 years.

Ash didn't know what to say when he found out he would soon be a big brother, although the happiness he felt could not be contained.

Delia named little Daisy, Daisy Ketchum, the little princess of the family, as well as the flower that brightened their home.

6 months after Daisy's birth, Professor Oak managed to return to Palette Town, only to be surprised by the news that his friend had managed to get a partner, which was not difficult with Delia's beauty.

Oak tried to talk to this man, but to his surprise, he was now working as a Viridian City Gym Leader, which was surprising because not just any rookie could take command of the last gym to enter the Indigo Plateau.

Now many would be wondering, why on earth did Kurama decide to become a Gym Leader?

The reason was simple, Delia enjoyed watching him fight, as much as she enjoyed watching him play with her children.

Ash was excited about it too, after all, he could say that his father was the strongest Gym Leader in all of Kanto.

Little Daisy idolized her father, but unlike her brother, she wanted to be a coordinator after watching Milotic fight.

After a year of him taking over the Gym, the Ketchum family decided to move to Green City to spend more time with Kurama, but not before saying goodbye to their friends and acquaintances.

But it was not all happiness.

Lusamine and the rest of the Uzumaki family were still worried about Kurama's disappearance.

Gladio was trying to be strong enough to be the man of the family, but the weight was too much for his small shoulders, although for his luck, he was not alone because Lana was helping him with everything she could.

Lillie and the twins were still sad that their father was gone, but at the same time, it made them grow up a little. They were doing their best not to bother their mothers.

Lusamine spent most of her time in her laboratory with Wicke, and to the surprise of many, they seemed not to have aged a bit during all these years.

Mina didn't seem to have aged either, so they attributed this phenomenon, to the strange stone that appeared after the explosion of the portal that swallowed Kurama, which they named [Ultra Wormhole].

"I know you're there, Kurama" - murmured Lusamine as she looked at the picture of her husband and family, the last one they took together - "We miss you."

Kurama slowly opened his eyes and saw the beautiful face of his wife.

A small smile appeared on his lips as he carefully got up so as not to wake her, though, to his surprise, he noticed how his wife was already awake - "Good morning."

"Good morning, sweetheart" - Delia smiled as she caressed Kurama's cheek with a cute smile on her face. She still felt that the lie she told all those years ago, would be the best thing she ever did in her life - "I see you woke up early."

"Yes, today is the day when Ash is going to start his journey, the day when the new Gym Leader will take my place" - Kurama replied as he kissed her delicious lips.

"Do you have to travel?" - Delia asked regretfully.

"Sorry, it's a request from the league" - replied Kurama as he kissed the woman again, only for both of them to start feeling much moodier.

Delia had to admit that her nights were the envy of all the women in the neighborhood because Kurama was not only the most handsome man in town but also the one with the most stamina. He could stay up all night bringing her to climax so many times that she lost count.

"I guess you're right" - Delia muttered as she sighed again - "But at least give me something so I won't forget you all this time."

Kurama smiled when he heard this as he brought Delia to climax again.

An hour later, Kurama was leaving his home with a smile on his face.

Delia was watching him from the doorway with a lost expression, but for the moment there was nothing she could do, after all, she had to wake Ash up to go to Professor Oak to get his Pokedex, and his Pokémon trainer's license.

Kurama continued on his way to the Viridian City station when he saw a familiar person, after all, she was none other than a Gym leader.

"Huh? But if it isn't Misty?" - Kurama said as he raised an eyebrow at the sight of a young orange-haired girl - "What are you doing here in Viridian City?"

"Kurama!" - exclaimed Misty with a red face when she saw the handsome white-haired man, after all, he was an idol for all the young people, especially for the girls even though he was married - "H-Hello!"

"Hello, it's a surprise to see one of the Gym leaders in another city" - Kurama said while raising an eyebrow with concern, after all, this girl was the same age as his son.

"Me, I left the leader position to my sisters" - replied Misty with embarrassment - "I wish to start my training from scratch because I feel that I am not improving as a Gym Leader."

"I see" - Kurama nodded as he started to think - "I guess it's something we all have to go through, but the question now is, are you sure it's a good idea?"

"My sisters can handle themselves with the gym" - Misty replied with concern because even she didn't believe those lies herself. Her sisters were anything except exemplary trainers, so she was sure that they would give away the medals to the challengers.

"If it makes you feel any better, I'm going to stop by all the gyms for a check-up before I travel to Johto" - Kurama replied with a smile - "If I see that your sisters are doing a bad job, I promise I'm going to reprimand them."

"I appreciate it, Kurama-san" - smiled Misty as she prepared to leave, but stopped when she heard the albino calling her again - "Is something wrong?"

"Here" - said Kurama as he threw a Pokeball to the girl - "I think you'll be a better trainer for this little one, than my idiot son."

Misty looked quizzical at this as she released the Pokémon from its Pokeball, though to be sure, she did it in the water - "What kind of Pokémon is this?"

"Her name is Feebas" - Kurama replied as he walked over to the ungraceful fish - "They say it's the ugliest Pokémon ever, but I consider it one of the most beautiful Pokémon in the world, not because of its external appearance, but because of the beauty it hides behind its scales."

Feebas nuzzled happily against Kurama as it jumped into the water.

Misty was silent for a few seconds as she walked over to where the Pokémon was and looked at it in detail. It was true that she wasn't the most beautiful water Pokémon, but she could feel the powerful energy the fish radiated.

"Treat her with care and give her all the love you can" - Kurama said as he gave the girl a look - "She will reciprocate all the love you give her."

Misty nodded firmly as she looked carefully at Feebas because something told her that the little girl was more mysterious and strong than she thought, something like the Magikarp she had when she was a child.

"Well, that's all for now" - Kurama said with a smile - "I have a few things to do before I start with my journey".

"Ok, thank you very much, Kurama-san" - said Misty with a smile before continuing on her way. She had heard that a rare Pokémon was inhabiting a river between Viridian City and Palette Town.

"That girl has potential" - Kurama smiled before continuing on their journey. His first stop would be Pewter City because he heard how a certain jerk left the Gym to his son while he and his wife went on vacation, not caring about all the kids they had left in their oldest son's care - "I swear to god if I see that bastard Flint, I'm going to give him the beating of his life for being an uncaring father."

"I think I'd better go on foot" - Kurama muttered as he shook his head - "Maybe I'll find some interesting Pokémon during my journey and be a new threat to my opponents."

The very thought of training a new monster made his heart pound, after all, his main Pokémon were too much for his challengers.

"Guess Ash rubbed off a little of his excitement on me" - Kurama said as he let out a laugh before shaking his head - "Anyway, I better get on with my journey."
