Oak and Audience
by Obloquy
Sammy Oak grew up always remembering the boy and his Pikachu who saved him and Celebi, but he never really expected to hear from them again.Given that they shared some other stories of what they'd survived to reassure him -- pacifying Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno with help from the Beast of the Sea?! -- he kept an eye out for sightings of Legendaries and disasters, but he never saw that boy with the Pikachu.Not until Gary's friend Ash won a very distinctive hat in a contest, and then he found a Pikachu chewing wires and knew the two were connected.When Ash arrived late, he gave Ash a partner in Pikachu... and then he gave Ash a phone too, with a Chat App, to keep in touch.(Lance, Lorelei, and Bruno had to wonder why he insisted on adding them under stupid screen names, while Agatha just grumbled that maybe Oak hadn't hallucinated the whole thing after all.)
