Take an Extra Step, GOH the Extra Mile

Chapter 15: Surprise! It's Parents Day~!

(Yuki's POV)

Greninja and I got back late. We were... not exactly the happiest bunch. It didn't take much to realize that what Zeraora told us... was right. When Greninja tried to put power into his fists, it became rapped up in water, BECAUSE his natural typing is Water. Alongside the fact that I think we were kinda just winging it... I can see water being associated with going with the flow. Either way, that weird event of a move creation... has no current potential of actually being a move, so I rather not even think about it at the moment.

I didn't eat too much, just a Galar Apple. (Watching Zeraora devour so many apples made me want to have one. Back in my old world, I only liked Gala Apples. I'm surprised this world has them!) I decided to hit bed right away, as my brain was hurting from coming up with so many ideas with very little information...

"...E'S WHAT?" I heard Ash seemingly panic, instantly waking me up at who knows what time.

"Calm down, Ash." I could hear Kukui tell the raven haired trainer.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU REMIND ME ABOUT PARENT'S DAY?" The Kanto kid continued to panic. "MUM DOESN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING, WHICH MEANS THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWKW-"

"Peapal make matakes, Ash." I said, easily half asleep by my incorrect, sleepy words. I got up from the couch and began folding the blanket. "Matakes are wat takes up humun..."

Ash began to giggle a little. "Morning, sleepy head."

I felt a hand-no: webbed hand mess with my already messy bedhead. 'You're right: Mistakes are what makes us human.' Greninja said what I said, but actually clearly and not in a half asleep tone. 'Is that a saying from your world?'

Still waking up (feeling so tired for who knows what reason), it took me a moment to reply. "I dot know, Ninja..." I blinked a few times, now actually awake and realized I called Greninja by the nickname I gave my Greninja's back home. Dammit, I promised myself I wouldn't call him that, despite looking like my dream Pokemon! He was originally Ash's and I don't want my personal wishes to get in the way of them possibly regaining their Ash-Greninja form! I tried to cover up my mistake. "I don't know, Greninja. I just thought of it one day and began using it. I mean, it's something I wholeheartedly agree with. No one's perfect, after all. But..."

'But?'

"I can imagine it's more likely an actual quote from someone else. I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of such a line." I look back at Professor Kukui. "What's this about Parents Day?"

Ash looked at his Alolan Father Figure, still slightly annoyed, but now more understanding. Kukui sighed. "With everything that has been going on, I forgot that the school's Parents day is tomorrow. Ash's mom is coming again."
