Next Gen Episode 18: Ginger's Announcement

Ginger's Announcement is the 18th episode of TMNT X Pokemon: Next Gen.

## Script

Ginger opened her eyes hearing the city life around her. In her tiny apartment. Downstairs she could her her two kids, and Mikey. Mikey? Ginger rose quick, frowning turning to the clock next to her bedside. Nine? Damn she slept that long? She scrambled out of the sheets, fumbling a few times and put on her bathrobe, she bounded out the door and down the stairs and hurried through the living room and into the kitchen. She stopped at the sight of her boy and girl, then to her boyfriend.

Ginger: Mikey...

Mikey: (smiles) Hey there sleepyhead. Been wondering when you'd awake.

Ginger frowned, heading towards the small island where he stood with a cereal box in one hand and the bowl in the other. She took a stool and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Ginger: I'm sorry I slept so much...

Jolteon: Don't be Gin, you need the sleep, been pulling longer shifts lately. Also last night you weren't feeling well.

Ginger: You should of been with your family Mike. I would of been fine.

Mikey: And leave you alone with these little devils? That's like me saying I don't love you, which I do.

Jolteon: Very *very* much! Zip it midgets.

Ginger: Why are you two dressed? Its not a school day, is it?

Mikey: No, we are gonna go see my family. I mean, I was gonna okay it with you first, if your not cool with it then Ill take them to the park or something.

Ginger was about to speak when she felt a pull on the sleeve of her robe, looking down she saw her bouncing boy staring up at her, his brown eyes gazing up at her.

Boy: Mama I wanna go to daddy's.

Ginger: Which daddy?

Her ex, the father to her children still saw them every other weekend to her dismay, but nothing much she could do about it. She hated sending them over there, alone, defenseless.

Boy: Daddy daddy.

Ginger tilted her head, raising her brow. Ruben rolled his eyes as if she should of gotten his daddy code by now.

Boy: I wanna see daddy's family.

He pointed over to Mikey, who was now taking the stool nearby her. Tiana hyped up, shoving her brother away a little, bouncing.

Tiana: Can we?! Can we?!

Ginger stared at her children's begging eyes, sighing a bit. Looking over to Mikey, seeing he too was begging.

Ginger: Mikey!

Mikey: What?! They're doing it!

Ginger: You're the grownup! You're fort...

In mid sentence her boyfriend put his hands on her ears and started to do the most immature thing ever.

Mikey: Lalalala I cant hear you.

Ginger: Real mature!

She shouted over his antics. She got off the stool and peeled one hand off his ear, laughing escaped her when he tried fighting with her.

Ginger: Mikey!

Mikey: You will not say that number! I refuse!

Jolteon: We forbid you!

Ginger: You got to get over this and accept that you're...

Mikey: (smirks) Say it and I will leave you forever.

Ginger grinned, holding his hands, raising a brow.

Ginger: You won't do that. You love us too much.

Mikey: Oh don't sweet talk me, lady.

Ginger let go of her boyfriend's hands and wrapped her arms around his neck, getting inches from his face, smirking big. He squinted at her.

Jolteon: What's your game?

Ginger: No game.

Mikey: With you there's always a game.

Alolan Raichu: Yup.

Dedenne: Right!

Ginger: I can't be loving to the man of my children?

Mikey: No. That's what the kids do when they are up to something. I wonder who taught them that.

Ginger: You're worse.... mister forty year old.

She quickly pulled away and watch him yell at the horrid age he refuses to believe that he is. He slammed his hand on the island and got up.

Mikey: You betrayed me! I knew it!

The kids at this point were giggling up a storm.

Tiana: You're funny! (hugs his leg) Daddy no leave...

Ginger watched Mikey look down at Tiana for a moment, then sighed. He picked her up and held her before glowering at the red headed woman.

Mikey: She makes a repelling case that I cannot refuse.

Ginger: She usually does.

His glowering eyes changed, they grew soft as he looked at Tiana.

Mikey: She gets that from her mother.

He looked over to Ginger, Ginger couldn't help but to smile at his compliment. She laughed a little.

Ginger: I think she gets that from her father.

She shifted her weight when she felt her son tug on her robe, looking down she noticed him looking at them. She picked up the boy with grunts, a twinge poked her for a split second, causing her pain to where she pronounced it strongly.

Mikey: Ginger?

Jolteon: You okay?

Ginger: It's fine. Just...cramps. Well I guess I should get dressed.

Mikey: Got work?

Ginger: Sadly.

Mikey: That's okay. You get ready, we can leave now.

She set down her son.

Mikey: Ruben, go play with your sister okay?

Mikey let down Tiana and the pair watched the children as they left the kitchen. Ginger tore away, looking at Mikey.

Ginger: Are you sure you can handle them? Your family sounded in trouble last night.

Mikey's eyes peered on her, a smile grew on his face as he closed the distance between them, which was about two steps apart. He set his hands on her sides, pulling her close to him.

Mikey: My family's dealt with worse. We had three kids running around while my father was bed ridden. While my brother was half blind, and the other one bound with a crutch. They'll be okay.

Ginger: Yes but they're humans.

Mikey: So is Hana. Dont worry Gin, your man Mikey is on the case.

He gave her his reassuring wink before leaning in closer to her. Ginger closed her eyes as she felt Mikey's forehead against hers. She held onto his shoulders letting her body touch his. Enjoying his embrace.

Ginger: If you say so. Just be careful.

Mikey: I always am.

She always enjoyed his kisses, which was odd cause he was a mutant turtle. Her eyes opened when his lips left hers. She looked up at him, giving him a half smile.

Ginger: Call me if you need me okay?

Mikey: Always.

Hearing the two kids in the other room get fussy, Mikey laid one last quick peck on her forehead before heading out. After them leaving, Ginger looked out her living room window, watching Mikey in human clothing walk with the kids, hand in hand. Its not that she does trust her boyfriend, but the city she didn't trust. She just hated not being with them. But the bills won't pay themselves. With that thought in mind the red head finally detached herself from the window and headed back upstairs in a slow manner, feeling the twinge get a little more over baring. Well shit.

### Catalina

#### Living Room

Chloe: Uh-huh. I see. Okay. Bye. (hangs up)

Ritsu: Was that April?

Chloe: (nods) Nothing. (sighs) I feel bad for her.

Ritsu: (soothes her back) Me too. We just have to be more patient that's all.

Chloe: But for how long?!

Ritsu: I'm not sure. But it's gonna take some time before we get any more updates from her.

Chloe: (sighs) I just don't know. If Lina were to be in that spot,... (tears forming) Sorry. (wipes her tears)

Ritsu: It's gonna be okay. (hugs her) Sh... It's okay... I'm right here.

Chloe: I know you are. (puts her hand on her stomach)

Ritsu: Yeah. (chuckles) So should we tell Catalina the big news?

Chloe: Not yet! Maybe when the time is right. Right now, this isn't the time.

Ritsu: I know that. She's worried about Hana. We should do something to make her happy.

Chloe: Like what?

Ritsu: I have a few ideas.

### Lair

#### Donnie's Lab

Raph watched April still at it, frowning. How is she still going? He silently wondered. yawning, he felt the exhaustion overcoming him. Shes gotta be tired by now. With a hard sigh the red masked turtle got to his feet, stretching a bit. He went to Hana's side, next to April, kneeling down.

Raph: April?

He waved his hand in her face, trying to get something out of the red head. But unlike her daughter's her eyes were open, white, and she was like a statue.

Flareon: April, talk to us. Are you okay?

Donnie: She can't hear you.

Raph: I thought I sent you to bed.

Donnie: Sure while my wife, daughter, son and unborn child are all at life and death I'm gonna just....

Flareon: Don't say that! They'll all be okay! You're just being paranoid.

Donnie: How are you sure? This could be god punishing me for the years of me being an ass.

Flareon: We're all like that! It's not just you! It's everyone! Besides, we have two witches that would help us with anything we need!

Espeon: You mean Dani and Ellie?

Flareon: Yup! They're powerful witches so that's how we know they'll all be okay.

Dani (voice): Correct. (walks in) Donnie, I have made some soup from the Golden Happiness flowers from Mt. Ku. With this, it can cure everyone but they must have some within 10 minutes at a time.

Donnie: Ten minutes?

Dani: (nods) But it's very effective so make sure everyone has one and wait for 10 minutes for the result.

Donnie: Thanks. I hope it works.

Dani: It will. (disappear)

Raph: See? They'll be fine.

Bounding the steps, seeing the others awake. Esme who from his point seemed to be the leader of the small group.

Esme: So red, what's for breakfast?

Raph: Breakfast? Well it's your face.

Esme: Ouch, what crawled up your shell and died. Dick.

Raph: Hag.

Esme: Geezer.

Raph squinted his eyes, but their banter was cut when he heard his baby brother announce his presence. He widened his eyes when he saw the two kids, the small girl on his shoulders, and the boy at his side.

Mikey: Hello big bro!

Jolteon: So glad to see you!

Flareon: Hey Mikey. Hey Sparky. Um... I don't want to be mean or anything but... What's with the Rugrats?!

Jolteon: That's simple, dear Pyro.

Mikey: Well Gin had to work, so kid duty. I also heard from Donnie that things aren't doing so hot, and I'm sure you guys haven't ate right?

Together: Yes...

Jolteon: Then one big breakfast coming right up!

Flareon: Do you seriously have to say that out loud?

Jolteon: Yes we do! To the kitchen! (runs to the kitchen)

Flareon: (sighs) You're such a kid, Sparky.

### Halimeda

#### Park

Halimeda: Poor Hana... I hope she and the others are okay.

Fawn: I know what you mean. They've suffered quite a lot.

Storm: I'm sure they'll be fine. We just have to wait and see the results.

Halimeda: (jumps up from the bench) I got it! When they recovered, we should throw a *huge* party to make them feel better!

Fawn: Oh yeah! A surprise party!

Halimeda: Exactly. It should bring their spirits up.

Storm: You think it would work?

Halimeda: As mom always says, "Nothing is impossible as long as you work hard!"

Fawn: My mom said that all the time!

Halimeda: Deer, you should make some cupcakes. Storm, you can do the music. I'll bring some gifts for them.

Fawn: Okay!

Storm: Right.

Halimeda: Then it's settle.

### Catalina

#### Kitchen

Chloe: Catalina, sweetheart, you have to eat something.

Ritsu: Your mother's right. You can't starved to death.

Catalina: I'm not hungry.

Chloe: Baby, starvation isn't a good thing. You gotta eat.

Catalina: I say I'm not hungry!

Ritsu: (puts his hands on her shoulders) Catalina, calm down. Está bem. Sabemos o que você está passando. Todos estamos preocupados com Kohana. Mas estar com raiva não vai resolver nada. Apenas respire fundo e acalme-se. {Translation: It's okay. We know what you're going through. We're all worried about Kohana. But being angry isn't going to solve anything. Just take deep breaths and calm down.}

She took deep breaths.

Ritsu: There you go. Let's get you some water to cool down.

Catalina nodded and the two get a cold bottle of water from the fridge. She opens it and starts drinking the water.

Ritsu: Feeling better?

Catalina: A little. Sorry I yelled at you and mom. I'm just not myself right now.

Ritsu: I know. It's alright. You definitely have your mother's temper.

Chloe She sure does. I get that a lot too so you don't have to apologize.

Catalina: Okay.

### Tamara

Luke: Boo!

Tamara: (shrieks) Luke...

Luke: Sorry, Mara. I just wanted a good scare and you were happened to walk alone so...

Tamara: Not funny at all... You know I hate jumpscares...

Liam: Don't listen to him. He will do it to everyone including me.

Tamara: But still. It wasn't funny.

Luke: To me it is. (laughs) You were so scared I thought you might've pee your pants!

Shiny Eevee: But it wasn't funny at all! I wish you could think about others more then yourself!

Eevee: There's no point trying to convince him. He has Casey's ego big time. Dani refers him as Casey Jr. since he acts like him so much more then Liam.

Liam: I don't talk big unless I have to.

Luke: Anyway, I can't believe we have stupid homework for vacation!

Tamara: You mean Christmas break?

Pikachu: Yes! This is supposed to be a day for relaxation not work!

Luke: Not to worry. I know someone who could do my homework.

Liam: Lucas, mom told us not to use magic for school-related things!

Pikachu: She won't know.

Liam: She will know because we both have sensitive to magic energies.

Luke: You worry too much. Besides, I won't get in trouble 'cause I know how to do it without mom ever knowing I use magic to have someone do my homework.

Liam: Like who?

Luke: You'll see it for yourself.

Eevee: When that smirk comes, we know you're up to no good.

Pikachu: What do you mean? You two just worry too much. Luke can handle anything in his way!

Luke: Right! I can even fight an pack of werewolves with only my hockey sticks alone!

Tamara: Werewolves? But those are just make-believe monsters in the Transylvanian Period. In fact, the werewolves and the vampires have a long history as being rivals. Even though werewolves are stronger, can climb better, and are one of the rare creatures that can kill vampires, vampires are faster, smarter, can jump way higher and one vampire can kill 3 werewolves.

Liam: Cool. I hope we can see a real life vampire and a werewolf.

Luke: Isn't Fawn a vampire?

Liam: She's half-vampire. What I meant is I want to see a full vampire.

Luke: Oh~. That would be badass to see one.

[HOWLING]

Luke: What was that?

Liam: Probably the wind. You know it howls when it becomes strong.

Tamara: No, I don't think that's the wind.

Suddenly, a figure lands in front of them in which they stepped back. It was a bulky creature with brown fur, standing on its hind legs like a human, red glowing eyes, sharp teeth, and has chains on both wrists and ankles.

[ROARING]

Everyone: (screaming) Real werwolf! (starts running)

Liam: Me and my big mouth! Why a werewolf here and now?!

Tamara: Those red eyes... I believe that's an Alpha Wolf.

Pikachu: Alpha Wolf?

Tamara: Alphas are the most powerful and lethal werewolves. They are stronger, faster and smarter. Alphas have the ability to create their own pack. To become an alpha, a werewolf must kill his respective alpha. Werewolves have been known to have a history with lions. They fight together in battle. An alpha's eye color is a deep crimson red. If it bites us, we'll turn into werewolves as well and we'll bite everyone in the city!

Luke: Let Lucas Jones do his thing! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Thunderbolt!

It did little effect.

Luke: What?! It didn't do anything!

The Alpha Wolf tackles Luke to get on top of him.

Liam: Luke! Eevee, use Shadow Ball!

Tamara: You too, Eevee!

Eevee and Shiny Eevee: Shadow Ball!

The Alpha Wolf reflects the Shadow Balls. It then looks at Luke who is completely frozen in fear. As it was about to bite him, a figure runs, jumps and bites the Alpha on the neck to get off of him.

???: Stay away from my son!

Luke: Dad?

Alpha Wolf growls aggressively.

Casey (Black Panther Form): Lucas, run from here!

Luke: What about you?!

Casey: Don't worry about me! Just go now before it's too late!

Luke: But...

### Ginger

Ginger: (thinking) I thought this would be a normal check-up but I found out that I'm pregnant. I'm gonna have Mikey's baby. What would he think about it? Happy? Sad? Maybe even mad? No no. I shouldn't ask those questions.

Dani: Ginger? Are you feeling okay?

Ginger: Huh?

Dani: Let's get you home. You don't look so good.

Ginger: N-No! I have to go to the...

Dani: I don't think so. Come on. I'm taking you home.

Ginger: I don't want to be a burden.

Dani: You aren't. Helping others is what I do.

Ginger: Okay.

### Casey

Casey: Nightcrawler, Dark Pulse! Hoodlum, Ice Beam!

Umbreon: Dark Pulse!

Weavile: Ice Beam!

Alpha Wolf: (dodges)

Liam: That Alpha is really fast.

Casey: I met faster enemies than this. Let's use Shadow Ball, both of you!

Umbreon and Weavile: Shadow Ball!

Alpha Wolf: (reflects)

Umbreon: Any other ideas, Case?

Casey: Um... I have no idea.

Umbreon: Casey!

Casey: Well what else am I supposed to do?!

Weavile: No time for arguing! We have to something with him!

Casey: Oh right! Uh...

Luke and Liam: Dad, watch out!

Casey: Huh?

He get slashed on the front by the Alpha Wolf.

Together: Dad no~!

The wolf quickly leaves.

Casey: (grunting loudly in pain)

Luke: Dad, are you okay?!

Liam: Hang on! Don't move! Mara, call the paramedics! We need to take him to the hospital fast!

Tamara: Okay... (quickly grabs her phone)

Luke: Dad, please be okay!

Liam: Don't fall asleep! The ambulance should be coming right now! Please stay with us, dad! (tears forming) Please... Please don't...

Casey: I'm gonna... be fine... Don't worry... about me... Take me... to Donnie...

Luke: What?! It's best we should...!

Liam: I think we should. I know it's hard but how are we gonna explain it to the medics?

Luke: You got a point there. Okay, we'll bring you to Donnie, dad! Mara, help us out!

Tamara: Me? You sure?

Liam: You're part of the team right?

Tamara: Team... Okay, let's go.

### Lair

Ginger: I can't believe I'm pregnant with Mikey's child. I had so many miscarriages. Should I tell him?

Dani: I believe you should. You can't keep it from him forever. He will see the signs.

Ginger: You're right. It'll be hard to hide the pregnancy.

Dani: Exactly. So that's why you should tell him. Mikey would be thrilled to hear it.

Ginger: Okay. Okay, I'll tell him.

Dani: (smiles) Good to hear. Now where are my boys?

A portal appeared with a phone symbol on it along with "Answer" and "Reject" on it.

Dani: That must be for me. I'll be right back. (leaves to the kitchen)

Mikey: (walks in) Hey Ginger! You feeling okay?

Ginger: Oh hi Mike. I'm fine...

Mikey: You sure? Dani called saying about pain?

Ginger: Promise me you wont get mad?

Mikey: Why would I get mad for?

Ginger: Just... promise me okay?

Mikey: Okay.

Ginger felt a little relief, guiding him over to the vacant cot.

Ginger: We need to talk.

It was far from it. She was pregnant. And he needed to know. Finally.

### Dani

#### Kitchen

Dani: Liam? What's going on?

Liam: We're in the sewers right now. An Alpha attack us.

Dani: An Alpha Wolf?! In the city?!

Luke: Yeah! It was huge and furry and stuff! Dad protected us but...

Dani: Don't tell me he's injured!

Liam: Got a huge scratch mark. We need some help!

Dani: Hold on, I'm coming!
