As soon as Ash and Luka stepped inside the house, Ash returned Luka and was greeted by a yellow blur tackling him and electrocuting him.

"Oww! I probably deserved that. I am sorry for making you worried Pi but you were sleeping so peacefully that I didn't want to wake you up!" said Ash.

"Pi pikakapi chupika!" "Okay I promise I will never leave you again Pi." chuckled Ash.
"Pika!" smiled Pikachu and then perched on his usual place (Ash's shoulder).

As they walked further inside the house, they smelled the pleasant aroma of pancakes.

" I guess mom is up Pi." Ash said. Pikachu nodded. They then went towards the kitchen and indeed Delia was up and making breakfast for everyone.

"Good morning mom!" greeted Ash.
"Good morning Ash, Pikachu. So how was your morning training?" asked Delia.

"It went well mom." smiled Ash.
"That's good to hear. Now come on breakfast is ready." she said.

Ash then went and sat down on the chair and Pikachu jumped down his shoulders to sit on the table.

Delia then gave Ash his plate of pancakes and Pikachu his Pokefood with lots of ketchup.

While eating the breakfast, Ash thought that he should tell his mother about his departure considering she knew some of his secrets too..

Flashback..

After everyone had eaten their dinner, Ash stayed back to help Delia wash the dishes. They were having a good time talking and sharing moments with each other when suddenly Delia asked Ash something which shocked him.

"Now my dear, would you please tell me who was that pretty lady you were talking to earlier? Elena was the name you called her by, I guess." she asked slyly.

Ash choked on his food and shuttered, "W-What are you talking about mom? I-I don't know anyone named Elena!"

"Oh come on dear, you don't have to hide anything from me, besides I heard you talking to her last night.. rather sweetly if I may add." she chuckled.

"Alright mom, I'll tell you about her but please don't tell anyone else as of now because I want it to be a surprise. And also don't be angry with me afterwards..." Ash said.

Delia was confused. Why would her baby think that she would be angry with him?

"Mom... Elena is my wife." Ash mumbled.
"Huh? Pardon me Ash but I didn't quite catch what you said." she said.

"She's my wife mom." he said a bit louder, anxious about his mother's response.

"WHAT?! She's your wife! Oh my Arceus, my baby boy has grown up so much! But why didn't you invite me Ash?" she asked, a bit hurt that her son didn't invite his own mother to his marriage.

"I am sorry mom...  I really am. I would have invited you but the situations did not permit me to do so...." he trailed off, guilt written all over his face.

Delia noticed this and immediately pulled him in a hug. "Don't feel sorry Ash. It's okay, don't worry I understand. Besides I can never be angry at you for these matters as I love you dear!" she said sweetly.

"I love you too mom, and I promise I would not keep anything from you anymore. Never ever, excluding your surprises that is." he smiled as he returned the hug.
