Renamed per TRS; moment is humorous enough to count.


* JumpingOutOfACake: When Samuel is reluctantly thrown a bachelor party, it involves a lady popping out of a cake. Too bad the "woman" is [[DisguisedInDrag actually a crossdressing James]], while elsewhere his friends try to steal Pokémon from the lab. No one finds it sexy due to how [[GagBoobs overly large James' chest is]].

** Samuel is almost 60. He's actually 50 on the dot, as shown by the fourth movie (he was 10 years old 40 years ago).

to:

** Delia's age is given as 33, while Delia's age has never been officially given the closest anything ever came to addressing it, the non-canon but written by the original head writer of the anime ''Pocket Monsters: The Animation'' depicts her as 29.
** Samuel is almost 60. He's actually 50 on 60 where the dot, anime would later imply that he's 50, as shown by the fourth movie (he was 10 years old 40 years ago).

1. Pocket Monsters the Animation is not canon. 2. This is the anime, not the game.


** Delia's age is given as 33. If ''Pocket Monsters: The Animation'' is accurate, in the anime she is no older than 29. The writer didn't have this information at the time of writing, so Delia is a few years older than she should be.
** Samuel is almost 60. Future games imply he's in his 40s (going off of Professor Rowan's age of 60 in comparison to his own).

Delia Ketchum and Samuel Oak are a widow and widower respectively. Delia's young husband died in an accident, while Samuel's wife died of illness not soon after their 30th wedding anniversary. The two are casual acquaintances at best, at least until Delia's ten year old son Ash leaves on a Pokémon journey. With Ash gone, the two neighbors start to become closer. Samuel begins visiting the widow to see how she's doing with her son gone, but his visits soon become more personal.

''Til Death Do Us Part'' has two short sequels: ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/468390/1/A-Wedding-To-Remember A Wedding To Remember]]'', which is about Delia and Samuel's wedding, and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/468392/1/Empty-Nest Empty Nest]]'', which is themed about their daughter Laurel.

* IceCreamAndHeartbreak: Used platonically with Delia, who eats ice cream while watching TV the day her son leaves. She's feeling the effects of empty nest syndrome in Ash's absence.
