Create your own story with WhatIf!
Ash
I've known for a while now. You don't have to keep pretending, Jessie. I'm your son. My mom Delia told me everything.
Jessie
(Like a fucking ghost my past won't let me go.)
James
Ash, that's the worst joke you've ever told! No way someone as brutish as Jessie had a child, let alone a son.
Meowth
Dat's rich! Next you'll say you're a Pokémon champion. Ha!
Jessie
It's true. I've been your mother all along, Ash.
Meowth
(Wait... does this mean we've been trying to steal from her kid this whole time?!)
Jessie
I never wanted it to be like this. I just wanted to move on. That damn Delbert wouldn't let me go.
Jessie
Your mother... Delia... she as you know was once a man. A queer man at that. He made me feel safe, but he used me.
Ash
Tell me more!
Jessie
Back then, she was Delbert. A man who promised me the world when I was just a teenager. I was 18 and a drop out. Delbert made me feel safe like James.
James
(Oh my god...)
Jessie
Eventually he knocked me up and wanted to become a woman. I couldn't take it. It was overwhelming. So, I left.
Meowth
Dat's why you always said James reminded you of a delicate flower...
Ash
So every battle... every time you "failed" to steal Pikachu...
Jessie
I couldn't hurt my own son. Even if it meant living a lie. I'm so proud of how righteous and strong you are.
Ash
(Everything I thought I knew... it's all been a performance.)
Jessie
Come here, my brave boy.
Ash
(She abandoned me... but she's still my mother.)
Jessie
I'm so proud of you. Every battle you won... I was watching.
Jessie
But Delia... she took everything from me. My youth, my dreams.
James
Jessie, you're not alone anymore.
Meowth
Hey, at least now we know why you always went easy on the kid!
Ash
I forgive you. But we have a lot to catch up on.
Jessie
(My son... he's stronger than I ever was.)
Jessie
Promise me, Ash. No one can ever know I'm your mother.
Ash
Only if you promise to stay away from Pikachu and my other Pokémon.
Jessie
(He's protecting them from me... his own mother.)
Jessie
I understand. I won't come near your Pokémon... or you.
Ash
(This hurts more than any battle I've ever fought.)
Jessie
Wait... just tell me... do you hate me?
Ash
I don't know what I feel. But I'll never forget today. I know this though, you always looked out for me.
Jessie
(My son walked away...) Oh Ash...
