Author's Notes::

I know Lucario are not technically a wolf. It's based off of Anubis, the Egyptian god. But, I doubt that Rota, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh were aware of what an Anubis was supposed to be. So. I went with wolf like.

Chapter 1: Love Blooms Where It Should Not

The Kingdom Of Rota:
Cameron Palace
Over 1000 Years Ago

The kingdom of Rota, sat on the outskirts of Kanto, it was a valley kingdom, surrounded by mountains, not far from Kanto's Mt. Moon. It was larger in the ancient times than in Ash's time, and considered part of Kanto's region in both eras.

That said, this story takes place a little over a thousand years from Ash's timeline. At the time of Queen Rin and her aura guardian/knight: Sir. Aaron. This starts when the queen was a princess, and the knight was still a young man in training. These Were Delia's Ancestors, and thus: Ash's Ancestors, as well.

In the Cameron palace, in Rota, the young knight and the princess, had been friends, since they were young children. Aaron's father was the commander of the Cameron Palace knights. The current king was a noble from another kingdom in Kanto. His wife was the Queen of the Rota kingdom. The inheritance of the throne in this kingdom, went from mother to daughter.

Rin, their daughter, was their only child.

And as such, the sole heir. Her mother, Queen Helena had become ill when Rin was a toddler. Rin's father Ajax had to take over ruling the domain, for the most part. He was harsher, and more greedy, than her mother would have been.

That lead to more conflicts. Minor skirmishes broke out within and without, their kingdom.

Rin was betrothed, when she was 4, to a prince of a kingdom in the region of Sinnoh. She had no say in the matter. Neither did the young prince. Time passed, and Rin grew closer to Aaron, who she had known since birth.

He was a year older, so as far back as they knew, they could not remember being without each other. Rin soon forgot about the prince that she never saw. No one else knew about it, Aaron was unaware.

When Aaron was not playing with the princess, he was training his aura abilities, with his father's guidance. As they entered their teens, and he found less time to spend with her. She grew increasingly bored with her studies. The 2 found a spot under a bridge, on the palace grounds, where they could both escape. Spending time together there.

When Rin was 14 and Aaron was 15, the clock signaling the end of their time togetger started to tick. Rin was always angry at her father.

Her father was not doing what he could/should, to stop the drum beats of war, that surrounded them all. If anything, he was fanning the flames of war.

People were using Pokemon to fight in human conflicts. Her friend, and Aaron's: Mew, who resided in the tree of beginning's - not far away. on occasion, would visit the kids. It was often weary, drained by all of the hatred and negative emotions swirling around it.

Aaron was worried about his father, he had been injured in a battle. But, the king refused to give him sick leave, and the man had not had time to heal, not properly before being sent out, once more.

One day, as usual, Princess Rin, had run to their meeting spot. She found Aaron huddled in the dark cave that the bridge hid the entrance to. He was hugging his knees.

"Aaron...?"

He looked up, Mew hovered beside Aaron's shoulder, chirping worriedly.

"Hello, my princess."

Said Aaron, softly.

She puffed out her cheeks, and walked closer, holding her skirts as she went, so that the dirty floor left no trace on the delicate fabric.

"How long have we been friends?"

She demanded, as she unrolled and knelt on a blanket beside him. He smiled.

"Forever and a day."

He said, and she smiled. They had gone over this before, and when either one asked the other that question, the answer was always the same: "forever and a day."

"So, then... What's my name...?"

He was grinning softly at her, now, he reached out and gently touched her face, leaning close, his eyes lidded, just as hers were, he whispered his response against her lips, before claiming them in a soft kiss.

"Rin. My Rin..."

She closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss. They had been kissing now, since they were 12 and 13. Since that time, the kisses had gotten more adventurous, and less timid. When this kiss ended, both were breathing hard. She was on her back on the blanket, he was hovering over her and a trail of saliva connected their lips, before breaking.

"What is wrong?"

She asked, as her breathing eased, she looked at him, gently caressing his face. He closed his eyes, still leaning over her, as he leaned his face into her hand.

"Your father, seems determined to send mine to his demise."

The boy said sadly, as he pulled away, sitting up, sighing deeply.
She leaned up, looking upset.

"He is sending your father out to fight?! Again!?"

He nodded, looking at his hand, Mew watched from a corner of the cave as the boy made a small ball of Aura appear in his hand.

"If I was stronger, they could send me in his place,"

He said as the ball of blue energy fizzled out. He clenched his hand, it shook with his anger.

"I will talk to my father!"

She said, resting a hand on his shoulder. Aaron shook his head. She gently brushed her fingers through his hair.

"My father has already departed with his men."

He said and she sighed, hugging him close.

Rin: age 16.5 Yrs.
Aaron: age 17 Yrs.

Both knelt between two sets of guards. His father was bowing to the king, before him. Her father, the king, was enraged. Screaming, as her mother cried in her throne beside her husband.

"How could this happen!"

Screamed her father. Aaron's father sighed.

"With all due respect, my king... You did not notice either."

Rin rested her right hand on her flat belly, her left hand held in Aaron's.
The king looked at a woman standing to the side of his sobbing wife.

"We cannot get rid of it, correct?"

The women sighed, her hands folded before her.

"My king, as I said before! If we were to do that, it would render the princess, unable to ever have a child. The royal line would die out."

The king swore. Colorfully.

Aaron had gone out on his first campaign with his father, 2 months before. The night before he was to go, Rin came to his room, and disrobed in front of him. Telling him that, she wanted to be with him, since it would give him a reason to stay safe, to return to her. And to show him how she felt.

At that time, he was a little drunk, his father having had a celebration that evening, to their future success. So, he did not have the fortitude to turn down a beautiful naked girl before him. One he happened to love greatly.

When he awoke the next morning, she was gone. He thought it a dream, but, then he noted a few things:

He was stark naked in his bed. That never happened. He always slept with something on his lower body.

There was blood staining his bedding. Not a lot. But enough to notice. It was where he remembered her hips being as he had taken her innocence.

Likewise, there was a small amount of blood on his male parts, and he could feel nail gouges in his shoulders and back from where she clawed at him in pain before it started to feel good to her.

After that, he had to get ready to leave, so, he had not seen her again, until he returned a day ago. At that time. He was informed that she was pregnant, with his child. Now, here they were. Aaron kept his eyes on his hand, which rested on his knee.

He was kneeling with his head bowed. Rin, sat primly beside him, head held high. Her left hand clasped tightly in his right. She was looking rather defiant. Both were upset at the way her father was speaking of their baby.

"I will have this child!"

Rin spoke up, glaring at her father.

"Yes, there is no way around it."

Her father nearly growled out. Aaron looked up, then.

"Y... Your majesty!"

"Aaron, quiet!"

Hissed his father. But, the king had already leveled a hateful glare at him. Aaron stared right at the king.

"I love the princess, I would like to marry her, I will always honor and cherish her and our child! Please! I wish to-"

The king started laughing.

"Boy, for touching my daughter, you will be hanged! She is already to be married, it was contracted years ago! I just hope that you're damned offspring will not counter that contract!"

Aaron froze, Rin was the only one who noticed that something in his eyes seemed to have died, when her betrothal was mentioned. She almost missed what Aaron's father was saying, because she was so focused on her lover.

"- I beg of you, my king, he is just a child. And he knew not of the marriage contract, please, don't punish my son so harshly!"

His father said, bowing so low that his forehead touched the floor. The king eyed them.

"Will you take your son's punishment, then?"

He asked. Aaron's head shot up.

"Father! No, I'll-"

"Aaron, shut up!"

The teen backed down. His father addressed the king, answering him.

"If my king would be so gracious as to allow my son to live, I would gladly take any punishment."

'He would die in Aaron's place!?'

Rin thought, horror-struck.

"Very well. You will hang in his place-"

"What!?"

Cried the princess.

"No, Father, I-!"

"SHUT UP, DAUGHTER! As I was saying! - You will hang in 4 days. Your son is to be sent away tomorrow evening, to train with the aura monks in the mountains."

The kind decreed, coldly. Rin and Aaron sat in stunned horror, as Aaron's father thanked the king for his graciousness.
As he decreed, Aaron was forced to leave, a day later.
5 days after that, word finally reached the young knight, that his father had been hanged. And was dead.

Aaron's hatred for the king grew.

4 months after he was sent away, he received word that Rin had had an *accident*. She had fallen down a flight of stairs in the palace and, at just barely 6 months pregnant, she had gone into early labor. The baby boy did not survive.

Aaron hated the king even more.

A month and a half after the *accident* the announcement of Rin's wedding date, was received.
Aaron was allowed to return 8 months later, it was 7 days after Rin was forced to marry.

When he came back, Aaron acted as if he never knew the princess, as well as he had.

4 weeks after Aaron came home, the king was found poisoned. Rin's mother died shortly afterwards, from her long illness. At first, people suspected that Aaron had killed the king. But, then a note was found by her husband, William. It was from her mother, confessing that she had done it. The queen had killed the king.

Rin's mother's note also said that she was sorry for the wrongs her husband had done to Rin and her baby, as well as what was done to Aaron's family.

The angry young man, now had no outlet for his hatred. The source of the feelings was dead and gone, now.

After the deaths of her father and mother, Rin was crowned Queen and her husband was her consort and king. Aaron had to be sent out on a mission to defend the kingdom. During that time, Aaron's mother grew ill from a plague, she died while he was out fighting for the kingdom. Rin sent for him as soon as his mother grew ill, but, he was delayed in returning.

When he got home, the sight of Rin crying over his mother's coffin greeted the young knight.

Shortly afterwards, Rin was found to be pregnant by her husband.

It was then, that Aaron took a leave from service, and went on a journey, to train. Back to the monastery he had been imprisoned in.

Aaron met Lucario not long after. The wolf-like Pokemon was injured badly. This is where the drumbeats of war grew louder and their end of times, clocks all started ticking.
