I toatally get were you are comeing from. Sadly my little sis did become teen mom she is still great mom to now neices and nephew I'm sure at 15 it took a toll on her to some level. Personally I pyhsically can't but something like thos may prove helpful to those who can have sex and prevent a lot of things. If Brock is 18 dose he now have full choice to keep or remove it you should explain that a bit.

Holy shit I am scarred...

So true and so blunt, this story deserves a lot more of reviews...

I can honestly picture a scenario like this happening in the Pokemon lore. You're right: with so many kids running around on their own, I CAN picture the Pokemon League implementing an implant as described in your story. Stories like these bring out the more realistic side of the anime. Since so many fanfics unrealistically pit Ash impregnating Misty (sometimes when they're young...eww), stories like this are a welcomed reality-check. I'm glad to see there are mature/logical authors like you who can still incorporate Ash/Misty romance on realistic levels.

Hey! Carcass5243 thats not fair. My review was not a flame, though I will admit many people are narrow minded.

I was just stating facts. Its been...almost a year since I first read this story, and guess what? My choice would still be the same. Fear/cowerdace can be very powerful motivaters. Besides, as Nurse Joy said herself, its your choice. There are many carrer opertunities that would not require *shivers* going under the knife. A ranch hand or assistent at Oak's research wouldnt have to worry about it for instence becuase they dont travel.

My only real complaint is the lack of time a person is given to make the choice. It would be..well, humane to give the person 24 hrs to make a decision. I know from experence, any decision you make on the fly without giving it serious thought is 99% wrong or you will regret it for a long long time.

Still, I think its a good story. A bit on the dark side, but very good. All the characters are kept in their 'lines' so to speak, no OOCness. Just a continuation of the ever going war of For your own good vs My choice.

Still woudnt go through with it though, but thats me. Everyones got their opinion right?

Hmm, very interesting. I can definitely see this as plausible within the Pokemon universe. I even see the statistics that Nurse Joy rattled off as highly plausible. Well done. I might even use the concept for a fic of my own someday. Might. Laters.

Brilliant. I always did wonder how they avoided mass teen pregnancy with Brock out there. That many kids...wandering around...with nothing but a Large Rat pokemon at their side and hormones pumping through their systems...

Hey Dude,

First, just wanted to offer my condolences for the flames you got on this story. Some people are very narrow-minded and just can't see that if a society doesn't have the guts to step up and protect it's kids from heartbreak, pregnancy, the suffering you feel from an abortion, and the pain of giving up a child, and suicide, then, what good is that society anyway?

This story is a little extreme, I'll admit, but it's great anyway, and I can see how that would get to be a problem, because teens are really unpredictable.

This was one of the greatest stories I've ever read, doesn't matter the category, it was amazing.

I truly believe this site could use more people like you.

Keep writing good stuff, and don't let anyone get you down, because they don't know what they're talking about.

p.s. Again, amzing story, I liked it a lot!

okay it kinda disturbed me but i can live with that.

it was like a funny/smart/random kinda thing.

but hey, it was still amusing...i think i can't decide if it was stupid or just clever.

probably a bit of both.

Ouch, that hurts. They choices are freedom of choice, or your dreams...Sorry but I'd take freedom, if I was in Ash's shoes. I'll admit the when I was first watching the series, god what was it 10 years ago I though Misty was kinda cute, I've seen where some people have done great guess work at what she would look like at 18, 24, even 30ish. But me and needles don't go into the same room, ever.

The last time I was given a shot, I was 11 years old, (pretty good to make it this long with no shots or blood work) Anyway, i was 11 years old, 105 lbs and 4 foot 2, it took the Nurse, the Docter, my mom, a second nurse and a promise of $20 to hold me to the table to get the chicken pox shot, and that was in the arm. Had I been in Ash's shoes here, I would have pulled out my Poke'dex, thrown it to the ground, stomped it, handed over any poke'ball's I was carrying, told Misty and Brook farewell and been gone in under 3 minites. Some people would say it's stupid to give up that quick, others would say I was making a stand for freedom of choice, but anyone who knows me would know the truth, I would have done it to save myself from the medical bills of knocking the tar out of nurse Joy, and Brock (he'd come to find out what the noise was) and several officer Jinnies. Followed by the court fees, court fines, and prison time. Yeah thats what would happen if anyone tried that on me.

Dude, I really must say that you have caught me off-guard in a way that I never thought possible. I am very impressed with your work. You are thorough in your descriptions, you keep a high level of maturaty and you catch the thought process of a teen experiencing this situation with such precision that I find myself far beneath your level of talent. Am I jealous? Absolutely not. I am proud to have read this piece and I applaud your gift as a writer. Keep up the grand work my friend.

Awesome story. There's really not much more to say. Other than to tell the canonicals that AU exists. But that's nothing big. I love the logic, the characterization, and the little romance at the end.

Favorite quote? "Or… or… or maybe I could decide I’m gay!" That's just plain hilarious. xD

Love the truth in the endnote and thanks for bringing a sense of reality and sanity to my world and the fanfiction world. Much love for your story!

You have no idea how refreshing it can be to finally read one of the few stories on this whole site that is actually well-written. Even though it was a little... disturbing... and I somehow find it hard to believe that Ash could be talking so blatantly with Nurse Joy about sex without evaporating from embarassment... But nevermind. :) You have some very good points, and though I don't think this will exactly stop everybody from writing a bunch of "misty gets pregnant at age 15" fics, it's certainly put a bit of realism into the fandom. Good job! :)

Nice story...

It's hard to find a well written story in this genre, thanks for writing this.

*makes hand into a fist and hits chest over heart twice*

This is a very good story BenRg, but i was wondering even though you really think that if misty got pregnant it would ruin Ash and her friendship. Could you make another pregnant story about Misty and Ash with positive things about misty getting pregnant.
