Blue eye globes sent to his brain the image of a tall man holding a small purple figure wrapped in an white blanket.
Even avoiding touching the newborn creature, that barely could control its poison yet, his lover caressed its head through the fabric, resulting in a happy chirp.
They had found Toxel's egg in their recent five year wedding trip. As experienced trainer and researcher, Ash and Goh had no problem settling a camp in Galar's Wild Area. Until the moment the Champion and Pikachu decided to pick curry ingredients, coming back an hour later with a known oval shape, claiming not to have found the little one's parents.
He is his beloved husband, but no one can keep the Professor's urge to slap and kiss that man at the same time.
They came back to Kanto with a new addition to the team. There was no way the couple would leave the poor thing alone.
The baby pokémon had cracked the shell the whole morning, until finally being born. Since then, she had made no effort to get out of Ketchum's arms, crying every single time the man took an inch of distance from her. The scene was devastating for Goh's heart, who left aside the data of the pokemon they had seen at their vacation to observe him rocking Toxel to sleep in all the glory of a simple red boxer.
"You look adorable." Affirmed, calling his attention. Ash had a bright red color on his face, as soon as he approached them. "Should I get a new ring and ask you to marry me this time? Because I will totally do it." Whispered in his lover's ear, while smiling to the little pokémon, who finally seemed to respond to the trainer's attempts.
"Goh… don't." The soft, low tone and a short kiss on the cheek made him smile brightly.
From the start, they realized their own interests don't go that far. Pokémon is at the top, and then each other. There is not even a third. Their relationship is based on that, and to be sure, it could not be better.
Hugging his beloved's waist from behind, the blue eyed mouth reached his ear for the second time.
"We never talked about baby pokémon, you know." That was a fact. To be sure, the topic of any "baby" is kept on constant hold for both.
Their families can not wait for them to adopt a "real", human child. However, Ash and Goh are enjoying the moment and have no plans to engage in that.
"I'm starting to like the idea, love."
It is perfect.
But Arceus, they can already hear the comments about their pokemon maniac personalities.
