Mom? Dad? Professor?!

Delia

Ash, we need to talk. Sit down please.

Ash

What is it, Mom? Did I forget to feed Mr. Mime again?

Delia

It's about your father. The truth I've kept from you for ten years.

Ash

Wait... Dad left when I was born! You said he was a Pokémon trainer who never came back!

Delia

Ash... I'm your father. I was born Delbert, but became Delia to live my best life. Your mother, abandoned us.

Ash

(My mom is my dad... wow)

Delia

Professor Oak was more than just my mentor... he was my partner in the greatest cover-up in Pallet Town history. He's also my lover.

Ash

(My whole life... everything I knew about my family... was a lie.) You lied to me...

Delia

I never wanted to hurt you, Ash. I thought keeping the secret would protect you.

Ash

Then... who... who is my real mother? Where is she?

Delia

(How do I tell him she's been trying to kidnap him his whole life?)

Delia

Your mother... is Jessie. From Team Rocket.

Ash

THE Jessie?! The one who's been trying to steal Pikachu since I started my journey?!

Delia

You to got understand. Jessie was my lover. She was 18 and I was nearly ten years older... The 80's was different son.

Ash

You mean, you're a groomer? Oh damn it. Now Brock and Misty will never let me live this down.

Delia

Back then, I was Delbert... young, ambitious. Jessie was just a kid with big dreams. 18 and fresh out of high school.

Ash

A kid? Mom-slash-Dad, you were literally a grown man dating a teenager!

Delia

She was 18 and raw was law back then.

Ash

So your ex-girlfriend became a criminal mastermind because you got gender surgery?!

Delia

I'm sorry! I had to become who I was. You just happened and she snapped!!!

Ash

Wow, so my dad is trans, my mom's a Team Rocket agent, and Professor Oak's my step-daddy? My therapist is gonna have a field day.

Delia

Ash, I know my secret hurt you. I hope you find it in my heart to forgive me.

Ash

I need some time to process this. I don't want to see you for a while...

Delia

Please Ash don't go again. I love you son...

Ash

I can't believe you kept this from me for ten years!

Delia

Ash, please! I never meant to hurt you.

Ash

There's nothing left to explain. You've said enough.

Delia

I won't let you leave angry like this!

Ash

Get out of my way... Dad.

Delia

(What have I done? I've lost him... just like I lost Jessie.) I'm your mother.

Ash

Quiet you. Jessie, I know the truth. Meet me soon, we're gonna settle this.

Delia

Ash, come back. Don't go... At least taste the scones I baked this morning... Ah crap he left. (I wonder what Oak is up too?)
