*as they followed her energy they stepped on a magic circle as it teleported them to Saffron City*

Daisy:did we hitch a ride on something?

???:i'm sorry about my little doll but i must meet the man with the 4 badge winning streak.*next to them was a green haired woman with familiar psychic energy*

Brenton:all this attention just for me? wow…well i'm Son Brenton.*he put his hand out for a handshake making the woman smile*

???:my name is Sabrina.the gym leader of Saffron City.

Brenton:wow..you must be the 3rd gym leader to greet me before i issue my challenge.

Sabrina:word travels fast and to be honest? your energy is a dead giveaway that you and her a seasoned battlers.*points at Sakura*Miss are you a challenger

Sakura:no.

Sabrina:*smiles*that's a shame.

Daisy:*whispers to Chronoa*“Sabrina used to be REALLY harsh but after a gym battle became very kind and stoic.”


Pico:goodnight my princess of magic.*the next day as Pico sat up and stretched? Merlin was cuddling his chest in her sleep*(she must be having a nice dream.)*he kissed her on the forehead*

Merlin:nnngh~…

Pico:hey beautiful i-oof!*Merlin tackled him back on the bed while nuzzling her cheek*

Merlin:good morning~ hey is your shirt shrinking?*they look around 13 and a half as Merlin looked at her slightly developed body*oh…it's a magic life cycle! every time we sleep our bodies will grow!

Pico:snrk~ yeah dummy that's how puberty works.

Merlin:*blushes*you know what i mean!*he then headpat her as Older Pico opened the door*

Older Pico:everything ok in here?

Merlin:y-yes sir.we just had a growth spurt.

Chronoa:how interestng.

Sabrina:right this way.*takes him into a gym where many seem to be using their mind*

Towa:that's a lot of mental work.

Sabrina:it is. I can see you have a few pokemon like that too.

Gokun:*hapily nods*

Older Pico:I can see that. Well, thankfully I prepared for this.

BP:you did?

Older Pico:when you have a kid that can make your body do the backwards dance and 11 other growing children, you tend to stock up on clothing real quick. I'll have Nene get you some at once.

Merlin:thank you Pico.

DP:yeah, thanks…wait this has happened more than once?

Older Pico:There will be a time when Michael has a few sick days and his magic is contagious.

BP:how many times?

Older Pico:4? Maybe more.

Sabrina:this gym also teaches those that are gifted.*she put her hand out and picked up a Pokéball with her psychic power*

Brenton:*smirks as they stand at the opposite sides of the ring*

Sabrina:i'm afraid your winning streak ends here.i call upon Alakazam!

Brenton:let's show them what we're made of Gardivor!*she teleported next to her Master and hugged him*

Sabrina:a battle of psychic types i see.you may make the first move.

Brenton:*let's her finish her cuddle before she hovered to her opponent*we are starting strong! Dazzling Gleam!

Sabrina:(teleport.)



*after getting dressed the 2 kids sat on the couch as Merlin hugged Picos arm*

Merlin:can we go out today~? it'll be loads of fun…

Pico:is that a good idea? what if future me's enemies catch wind?

Older Pico:honestly? best case scenario is that they'll think you are 1 of my sons.and if not? i'll have my group keeping tabs on you two at all times anyway.(better not mention the whole clone thing…)

Gardivor:*watches him teleport*oh!

Sabrina:Psybeam!

Gardivor:*puts up reflect*

Sabrina:!*watches the attack come back*(how did he do that? does he have telekinesis as well?)

Gardivor:*sighs in relif*(just in time)


BP:well, if you say so. Let's go out and have a day!

Merlin:yes!*gives him a kiss*we're going to have so much fun out there!

Brenton:(shadowball!)

Sabrina:!(reflect!)*Gardivors shadowball was blocked making Brenton glare at the gym leader*impressive.i didn't know i was battling another psychic trainer.


Brenton:*blinks in confusion*oh? i'm not a psychic.i just can feel Gardivors emotions and act on them.

Sabrina:i'm not so sure about that.

Brenton:(Gardivor while she's distracted! use attract!!)

*Gardivor appeared in front of Alakazam and blew a kiss making a heart hit Alakazam.*

Alakazam:Zam?~

Sabrina:hmph nice try but we're much stronger than “that” trick.*her eyes glowed with psychic energy breaking free from the status condition*

Brenton:shit!(double team followed up with our new move! Mystic Fire!)*Gardivor created copies of herself as they gathered blue flames in her hands and fired them but-*

Sabrina:*her eyes glow*(psychic!)*Alakazam destroyed the flames with a mere thought*

Brenton:*smiles*(wow she's strong.)





*at Zot a few minutes later 21 was putting water on Picos hair as she combed it*

Pico:is this necessary?

Alice:i want my little Pico to look handsome for his date today~


DP:*rolls eyes*alright…


Android 21:(awww~ look at our rebellious little husband~)*mwah!*after giving him several kisses he clumsy walked out as Merlin hugged him*he's ready now so have fun you 2~

*as they walked out Merlin giggled as a strand of Picos hair spiked up*

Merlin:so where do you wanna go?

Pico:i don't think kids can make reservations at a restaurant so..want to get a burger instead?

Gardivor:(This trainer and her Alakazam has been the toughest thing I've faced in a long time. Brenton, lend me your strength!)

Sabrina:Go, use Psybeam!

Alakazam:Kazam!


Merlin:you know, I don't think I've ever had a burger.

BP:seriously? Im pretty sure you have.*thinks back* you haven't. Alright then its settled. Im getting my little lady the best burger I know!

Merlin:*smiles and blushes as her tail begins to wag, she takes his hand and runs with him to the nearest food place*

Brenton:HAAAAAAAUGH!!!!!*before the psybeam hit? Gardivors body glowed as she was surrounded by Brenton's aura.she then jumped back as Gardivor merged with him*

Sabrina:what is this?

Brenton:*points hand at Alakazam*shadowball!*the move hit causing Alakazam to faint*

Gokun:yeah! go Mom! go Dad!

Sabrina:*smiles as she returns Alakazam*interesting ability you have there.

Gardivor:*mentally hugging her Master*that's nothing compard to what my Master is truly capable of!

Sabrina:*looks intrigued as she places a finger on her chin*truly?

Gardivor:you bet he is! he took down legendaries!

Brenton:Gar? hon? you're not helping.*sweatdrops*



*it was a burger place and as they sat at a bench? Merlin smelled the tasty aroma of a double patty burger while Pico ate his cheeseburger*

Merlin:*MUNCH!*ooh~ *giggles*it feels a little…slimey?

Pico:that's just the grease.all part of the experience!*Merlin was happily blushing as she enjoyed her second bite*

Merlin:mmm~ and you eat this all the time?

Pico:*chuckles*not if i want to stay fit.

Gardivor:sorry…heh he*winks at him* So who's next?

Sabrina: Mr Mime, go!

Gardivor:…a clown? Surly this is getting easier.


Merlin:but you eat so much more than that.where do you all put it?

BP:he he into fighting that and I have a good metabolism.

Merlin:same*takes another bite as she delightfully consumes it* well that was fun. What now?

DP:well,what is there?

Merlin:why not go somewhere big?

BP:like the park?

Merlin:bigger. a dinosaur park.

DP:Well, I know there's a robo dino park that was around here. Im sure its reopened now.

Merlin:re opened?

BP:There was this incident with Slash Man a long time ago. It should have been cleared up since.

Merlin:Come on, Pico, please?

Sabrina:(Mr Mime…trap him!)*Mr Mime created a invisible forcefield around Brenton*

Brenton:hmph!*he then teleported and as he reappeared? fired multiple shadowballs making Mr Mime run around*for a mime you sure aren't quiet on your feet huh?

Sabrina:(as i expected.Mr Mime? use psychic!)

Brenton:wh-whoa!*as he was lifted in the air he crossed his arms and glared*not cool…



Pico:uh sure i guess.*a half hour later Pico smiled as he sees Merlin look around with wonder*you know the whole point is that they're completely mechanical right?

Merlin:obviously.but still! they look so cool.*she hugged Picos arm as they walked*you said a Robot Master took over this fun place? why?

Pico:2 reasons.1.it's basically Dr.Wily's thing.and 2? he wanted to steal spare parts…


*Merlin giggled as a mechanical T-rex roared at them*

Gardivor:Hey, im your foe, not him!

Sabrina:true. however, a trainer must be able to work under duress even when battling. You never know what can happen here.

Gardivor:fair enough.*uses her own psychic on Sabrina* I suppose we're at an impass then.

Sakura:any clue on what's happening?

Daisy:Sabrina is just being herself. Trying to teach a lesson.

Towa:well if she doesn't let go, she'll be my target.

Sabrina:Mr Mime switch targets.

Mr Mime: Mime!*looks to Gardivor and uses psychic*

Gardivor:*counters with her own*


Merlin:eep!*jumps onto Pico*

BP:scared?

Merlin:a little, yeah. Aren't you?

DP:Me? heh, this is nothing!

Merlin:your not worried that something bigger than both of us with razor sharp teeth will look at you like dinner?

Sabrina:don't hold back.*Mr Mime knocked Gardivor out with a second wave of psychic energy*you are anything but invincible.

Brenton:Gardivor! *Brenton angrily broke free from the psychic energy and held his Pokemon*

Gardivor:Master…*faints*

Gokun:Mom!

Brenton:….

Sabrina:have you given up challenger?

Brenton:“given up?”*Brenton's aura flashed like a blue flame around his body as he returned Gardivor*i am going to beat you! i summon Haunter!!*as Haunter appeared it flew circles around his angry trainer*Haunter use mean look!*the ghost scared Mr Mime*now thunder punch!*jabbing the mime he fainted*

Sakura:Brenton…

Sabrina:my final Pokémon!*she summoned a Gengar*Gengar? let's have some fun.



Pico:They're robots dummy.*he hugged her*the only way they would “eat us” is if someone tried hacking them to kill or something.

Merlin:that's not reassuring…

Pico:*chuckles*it's fine princess just watch.*as he put his hand on the T-Rex's nose? it's eyes flashed red*

T-Rex:ROAR!!!!!!

Pico:but just incase…*he picked up Merlin and ran*

Sabrina:alright Gengar, Shadowball!


BP:is it chasing us?

Merlin:*looks back* Yep!


DP:hahh! Cast something!

Merlin:like what?

BP:anything!

Merlin:alright, hope you don't mind your hair standing on end!*conjures lightning and strikes the robot*

T-Rex:Rooooar*falls down and shuts off*

Brenton:protect*as Haunter created a forcefield and blocked the shadowball? the second staged ghost poked his tongue out making Gengar chuckle*metronome!*Haunter wagged his fingers and as he stopped? spectral energy surrounded his body*yeah! Phantom Force!!*he charged towards Gengar and damaged the ghost type as it fainted*

Sabrina:*smiles as she returns Gengar*you are on a different level Brenton.i can see why you easily won those other badges.*Brenton hugged Haunter*

Brenton:true…but that last move was all luck on my end*he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as Sabrina handed him her badge*

Sabrina:i hope that luck continues to grow.*as they walk out of the gym Brenton polished his 5 badges*




*when Pico stopped running he and Merlin looked at each other until-*

Merlin/Pico:hehehe!/hahahaha!

Pico:i look like a punk rocker now huh?*as he put her down Merlin looked around*

Merlin:should we worry about other attacks?

Pico:probably.but i'm more worried about yours and everyone else's safety.*he looked at the scattered families and then at roofs for potential spies*clearly that attack was no accident.

Sakura:wow, way to go, dear.

Towa:That was quite the event.

Gokun:dad, is mom going to be alright? she took a hit from that clown awfully hard.


Merlin:its possible you might be right.*puts a hand on his shoulder* don't let this stop our date.

BP:Merlin, but someone…

Merlin:and they might again, but im sure Older you knows how these events play out. *smiles* Trust me, we're going to be alright.*gives him a big hug* Now come on rock star let's continue our date!

Brenton:*smiles*don't worry about your Mom kiddo.all she'll need is a quick trip to the Pokémon Center.

Gokun:o-ok…

*as they walked into the Pokémon Center Brenton was trying to hide the worry on his face as he walked up to Nurse Joy*

Nurse Joy:welcome to the Pokémon Center~ how may i help you?

Brenton:*nervously rubs his head as he thought about the Joy from Lavender Town*uh hi! i recently beat Sabrina and my Gardivor and Haunter took quite a bit of damage.

Nurse Joy:*grabs his Pokéballs*well i'm sure we'll be able to heal them in no time.*she put them in a healing machine*your group wouldn't of happened to come by Lavender Town by any chance?

Gokun:uh huh! Aunt Sakura won a contest!

Sakura:*blushes*o-oh it was nothing really.

Nurse Joy:my cousin called and talked all about you! how's the gym challenge?*DING! she grabbed the Pokéballs and gave them to Brenton*

Brenton:*sighs with relief as he felt Gardivors energy pulse with happiness making her Pokéball glow pink*i need to train before reaching the next gym.*smiles at Sakura*preferably somewhere that can be family fun.

Daisy:your issue is that you don't exactly have a rival to help you gauge your progress.



Pico:*smiles*alright…*smirks*do you think we could get free stuff if we complain about the robot?

Merlin:Pico??

Pico:i'm just joking…*as they walked? Pico bought souvenirs like a dinosaur hat and shirts*they really go ham on the Jurassic theme.

Merlin:*enjoying the hand holding*yeah~ but that's what makes it special silly*she nuzzled Picos cheek with her own*

???:aww…see Thomas? kids still go on nice dates like this now-a-days.

Thomas:i can see that Abigail now stop being nosey.

Merlin:hehehe~*Pico was blushing*

Towa:well, its hard to have a rival when most of his pokemon are already really strong. They've been with us for so long.

Daisy:oh right, well…hm. Who can be your rival…ah!*points to Sakura* You!

Sakura:me?

Daisy:your his wife, right? who better than a lover to push a trainer's skills in the field of combat!


Merlin:what's wrong dear? your not embarrassed are you?*gives him another nuzzle*

BP:no…im not.

Merlin:good, because your tail tells me otherwise.*smiles*

DP:*looks back to see it wagging and shyly blushes even harder* its not my fault your so c-cute.

Merlin:hmm*kisses his cheek making his heart race* Now, where to next?

BP:Ice cream?

Merlin:good idea! Let's get big ones!

Sakura:*blushes as she does a side-eye towards the harem*i feel like i already have rivals…what do you think hon?

Brenton:*shrugs*i mean it couldn't hurt right?

Daisy:there you go! you 2 are now officially rivals~*Brenton smiled as the group walked*



Pico:i am getting hungry…*RUMBLE~*

Merlin:yay!*they ran up to the ice cream vendor and bought the biggest cones of ice cream that Merlin affectionately hugged it*Pico?~

Pico:ye-eep!*Merlin licked Picos cheek before she continues to eat her large treat*

Sakura:alright, so am I going to need some badges, too?

Daisy:good question…I don't think so. It might be easier to focus on pokemon instead.

Sakura:got it!

Towa:so, what gym is next?

Daisy:Poison gym, I think.


Merlin:this is so yummy*continues to eat fast*

BP:be careful, you might get*watches her freeze up*brain freeze.

Daisy:Fuchsia City to be precise a nice place but a little…behind the times.the place screams ancient Kanto complete with ninjas.

Brenton:sounds like the perfect place to train before entering the gym.maybe i should train Psyduck or Alcremie.

Sakura:good idea~ i'll help anyway i can.*she hugged his arm as the group walked through the forest until-*

Chronoa:eeeee~!!! his hatching!*Butterfree broke free from the Metapod cocoon*



*sitting at a bench Pico rubbed Merlins free hand as she rubbed her head*
Merlin:ow….

Pico:there there my spell Queen.it'll pass.

Merlin:*smiles*you've been such a gentleman to me all day~i-i'm so lucky-ow!

DP:tell that to your brain.*creates a pillow and placed it on his lap*lay down.*as she does so Pico played with her hair*

Merlin:oh Pico~*as the pain faded she happily got up*Pico? let's go home.

Pico:alright.*as they walked she hugged his waist while nuzzling his cheek with her own*

Towa:wow…

Daisy:its so beautiful

Butterfree:freee~

Chronoa:welcome my little winged friend*hugs the butterfree*


*as they enter the house*

Jasmine:welcome home master and wife.

BP:*blushes* J-jasmine.

Jasmine:you two look so cute together.

Merlin:*blushes as well*

Kids:dad's home!*tackles the two*

Juno:how was your date?

Lyra:did you fall in love all over again?

Juliana:did you do a lot of hugging?

*Brenton smiled as he sees Chronoa hug the bug type*

Brenton:(heh adorable.)*they continue to walk until nightfall as Brenton set up a campfire*…is it safe?*he had covered his eyes*

Towa:no full moon tonight.

Brenton:*sighs as he relaxes by laying down*good.



Pico:um…y-well that is we…*blushes a darker shade of red*

Mia:now kids! give your father and Aunty Magic some space.

Kids:yes Mama/Aunty M.*as they did so Pico chuckled*

Pico:*chuckles*i will say it was loads of fun.

Mia:*glomps Pico into a chest to face hug*oh i'm so glad hon~

Pico:(mmmn…this is always nice~)

Daisy:full moon?

Sakura:its complicated.

Daisy:ahm an alien thing. got it! So, I always wondered, what is each of your best pokemon?

Chronoa:Well, I don't want to make my others jealous, but this little bug right here is flat out adorable.

Mia:you had fun right?

BP:as always. What smells good?

Violet:I brought some cookies over from the restaurant downstairs.

Older Pico:they really hit the spot after running around so much. So, younger me…you have fun?

towa:*calmly drinks tea*clearly my Ursaring is the strongest-*BZZT! Totodile jumped out of its Pokéball and began to flex*oh how can i forget my favorite water type?*she hugged the little water croc to keep him by the warm fire*

Sakura:well obviously my answer is Torracat…but Dratini has potential.which means Brenton's strongest is Lou right?

Brenton:they all have their strengths.*he head pat Ruri*but i guess if we're going by pure power alone? then sure.

Sakura:*throws her Pokéballs summoning Dratini Murkrow Mudkip Bulbasaur and Torracat as she stirred a pot*who wants to try some tasty curry?~*her Pokémon cheered*


Daisy:*smiles*(Sakura is just the sweetest person.)




Pico:*raises an eyebrow as if the answer was super obvious*duh older me.

Older Pico:that's good.(which is more proof that history hasn't changed on his hand.)


Android 21:i hope not “too much” fun~ *giggles at Merlin and Pico blushing*

Merlin/Pico:of course not Alice!

Bell:alright alright…the 2 had a big day and need rest now ok everyone?*as she said this she motherly hugged Merlin*

Merlin:(this feels nice…)oh um Bell? where are your kids?

Bell:*smiles*our son is being trained by Brenton as we speak.he is having trouble going Super Saiyan.

Sakura:*Makes a dish for each of them* eat up!

Daisy:it smells good. Might we have some too?

Sakura:of course! I didn't just make it for pokemon.


Merlin:oh dear.

Bell:he'll get it some day soon.

Older Pico:*looks at the door*

BP:something up?

Older Pico:Merlin's home.

Older Merlin:*sigh* what a week im just glad I get to…*blinks at the sight* Oh. That's right. Its date night.

*as they ate the meal Daisy and Sakura leaned onto Brenton's shoulders*


Brenton:mmm so good~

Gokun:yeah Aunty Sakura this tastes great.

Sakura:i got the idea from when we were in Galar.

Gokun:*eyes sparkle*cool…can i play?

Ruri:*wags tail in excitement*

Brenton:don't go too far from this camp and make sure you get back by bed time.

Gokun:yes Dad! hehehe!*he and Ruri ran off*


Sakura:*giggles*



Merlin:see Pico? i won't age a day.*she hugged her future self*


Older Merlin:*smiles*

Older Pico:everything alright?

Older Merlin:Zots academics are full of arrogant try hards!*sighs*but i'll manage~*she pecked Older Pico on the cheek*

Merlin:i'm a teacher?!

Older Merlin:don't be ridiculous i'm above that.*present Merlins eyes sparkled with admiration*

Lucario:*smiles*

Towa:looks like Ruri made another friend.

Lucario:im happy for her.

Torracat:rowr!

Lucario:I agree playing would be good for her growth.

Daisy:they look so sweet together.

Merlin:I knew I'd have the courage to apply the building someday!

BP:…that's right! your technically not employed here are you?

Merlin:nope! I've been just remaining a “ghost” and stealing treats till I found you my Magical husband.

Older Merlin:don't worry they'll be gentle on you for all we ate in secret and the secret room.

DP:Considering we got officially married, I presume they would.

Merlin:so how grand is our magic?

Older Merlin:see for yourself.*make everything around them look like space and the stars*

Merlin:ooh.*looks around with Pico*

Max:*chases a comet*

BP:ha ha! go get it boy!

Brenton:*smiles as he lays his head on Daisy's lap with his eyes closed*kids need to play with other kids their own age.

Daisy:*smiles*i suppose you're right.

Sakura:*hugging and petting Mudkip*i just hope they won't run into trouble.but if they do? Brenton will jump in and help.


*Max ran and as he ran back he was chewing on a meteor*

Older Merlin:as you can see that illusion is so real Max could have all the exercise he wants.

Merlin:i'm so cool!*a green flash of light suddenly canceled the illusion as a future Brenton appeared next to a fox tailed Saiyan boy*

Future Brent:yo! we're…back?*blinks at seeing younger Pico*anyway…PJ here passed with flying colors!*he fist bump Older Pico*

Bell:*looks excited*you mean he did it??*Future Brent nods*

Pico:how did you get here? the portal is busted.

*Future Brent showed Pico his golden Time Ring*

Future Brent:i have my ways.

Ruri:ruu!*chases around Gokun into the woods*

Lucario:stay within eyesight!

Gokun:he he he!*runs and stops quietly coming back*

Ruri:ru?

Gokun:dad. Im sensing a lot of pokemon in the trees. Bug type.

Chronoa:more Metapod?

Gokun:I don't know.


BP:so, who is he?*points to the child*

Merlin:isn't it obvious?

DP:not really…

Brenton:hmm…*Brenton closed his eyes*yep.a Beedrill or Venomoth nest probably.

Gokun:s-seriously?*Brenton headpat his son*

Brenton:don't worry! as long as the nest isn't disturbed then we'll be fine.plus we are heading towards the poison gym tomorrow so bug types would be the standard wildlife.

Gokun/Ruri:(so calm…)

Sakura:yes everything will be alri-*BOOM!!! a explosion could be heard as the swarms of bug Pokémon flew away*oh dear…


Merlin:sigh you dummy…he is obviously your last kid.

Pico:wh-what??!

PJ:heh heh hi kid Dad…

Pico:um hi.

Future Brent:awkward…

Bell:*giggles*he'll get used to it.tea?

Future Brent:yes please.*she poured him a cup of tea*

Bell:i owe you one for training him.

Future Brent:well i already did the same for Justinian and Juliana so it only makes sense right?

Justinian/Juliana:Uncle Brent!*the 2 tackled Brenton*

Sakura:what was that?

Gokun:we didn't do it, we swear!

Mudkip:Kip!

Towa:I say we go check it out and make sure no one is hurt!


Juliana:did you have fun training PJ?

Justinian:did you get us something from your world?

Alice:kids, let Brenton relax.

J&J:yes mom.

PJ:…so what's going on here? why are there two aunty magic's and two dads?
