Anima: Warning: While I will be mostly sticking to the original story, I have not seen the Pokemon anime so there will probably be a lot of changes in the Rfta universe and so it will be an alternate universe/au, besides a story just like the original is boring. Also, I will be writing a brief note at the beginning and/or end of each chapter that will help explain stuff.

So Disclaimer, I do not own the Pokémon franchise but I do own the new and improved, totally different Ash in this fanfiction.

Anyways, on to the story.

Pokemon communicating in English without actually speaking (not Meowth): *…*

Pokemon speaking: …

Normal human speaking (Meowth): "…"

A person or Pokemon thinking: '…'

Delia Ketchum was tired. Tired, but so, so happy. It had been a long labor. It hadn't helped that her husband was over on the other side of Kanto when her water broke. Luckily her Pokemon were there and ready to help her out, Alakazam used his psychic abilities to move Delia safely out of the house, Pidgeot quickly took her to the hospital and Venusaur used her vines to secure her safely to Pidgeot's back. Butterfree, Gyarados, and Absol might not have been able to help much, but their concern for her was touching. She really loved her Pokemon.

Of course, her thoughts on her Pokemon were stopped when the contractions hit her and oh sweet Arceus it hurt. But all of the pain and tears throughout the long process of bringing her child into the world were instantly forgotten when she saw her child, for the first time.

"Congratulations" The nurse smiled at her as she gently passed the small, squirming and wailing bundle to Delia. "It's a beautiful baby girl."

When she was handed that precious bundle, her heart swelled with love for the small being in front of her. Her sweet little Ashlyn. She was beautiful. As if knowing Delia's thoughts, the baby quickly calmed down and stopped her crying.

Delia's eyes snapped to the entrance of the hospital room as the sounds of crashes, yelling and different Pokemon cries happened before the door was flung open by a young man with short, spiky black hair and bright blue eyes. He was wearing a red jacket over a white t-shirt with a Pokeball on the front and a pair of blue denim jeans, along with blue trainers and a red and white baseball cap.

Upon the man's entrance into the room, he yelled "Delia!" at the top of his lungs but was instantly quietened down by the fiery glares aimed at him from everyone in the room. Everyone except Delia, of course. While the man cowered under the righteous reprimanding from the various doctors and nurses, Delia tried to stifle her giggles with her right hand, while her left arm was curled around the bundle.

Hearing the giggles the man turned to the bed where Delia lay and lost his breath upon his eyes locking upon the precious treasure she held. "Delia" he breathed out quietly as the woman beamed at her husband and waved her free hand at him to move closer to her.

Quietly, slowly, he inched his way to her and when he was hesitating not far from the bed, Delia rolled her eyes, reached her right arm over to her left side and grabbed onto her husband's jacket and gave it a sharp yank. Staggering from the abrupt pull, the man stumbled to a stop right next to the left of the bed.

Delia let out a light laugh as her husband pouted at her. "Red, this is your daughter Ashlyn" she whispered as she lifted up their baby and placed her gently in his, now trembling arms.

Lifting the little girl closer to his face, tears came to Red's eyes as he saw the thin mop of black hair on the baby's head and the scrunched up face of his little girl. His heart melted as the tiny human being let out a small whine. Kneeling down to be on a closer level to his wife, his grin grew as his two precious, oh so precious, girls were reunited, as Ashlyn was safely put back into her mother's arms. Then Red shot an inquisitive look at Delia. "Ashlyn?" he asked, confused.

Delia smiled tiredly at him. "Ashlyn Elizabeth Ketchum, to be precise. You did say if we had a boy you wanted to name him Ash and you know how I wanted to name a girl Elizabeth. Well, I figured that a mix of our name choices would fit this" she lifted Ashlyn up "little one more. Besides, we can use the name Ash as a nickname for her"

"Ashlyn." Red mused before grinning madly and leaning over to start peppering Delia's face with kisses. "I love it!" He announced before jumping back a bit in surprise as Ashlyn let out a wail of protest of being squashed by her daddy leaning over her.

Red gave Delia a sheepish look as she aimed a stern stare at him. Both of them let out noises of surprise when one of Red's Pokeballs opened and let out a beam of white light that materialized into his Lucario, who eagerly looked around.

*Where's the baby?* Lucario questioned excitedly. He and the rest of Red's Pokemon had been waiting for 9. MONTHS. Waiting for their trainer's child to be born. And when a call came for Red while he and his Pokemon Lucario, Infernape, Floatzel, Lopunny, Toxicroak, and Roserade were having a mock battle with one of his fellow champions after the meeting, they were ecstatic to find out from the caller, Professor Oak, that the baby was coming. Red's pokemon were not so ecstatic to find out that the baby was coming right that moment so they would miss the birth as they were on the other side of Kanto away from Delia and they would need to stay in their Pokeballs while Red rushed as fast as he could to get to Delia's side.

Red groaned at the sight of the eager Lucario and facepalmed at his question. Sometimes, at inappropriate moments like this, he wished that Lucario had never learned to communicate with his aura. It made conversations easier sure, but on the other hand, his Lucario was an excitable chatterbox who often spoke without thinking.

Delia giggled at Red's exasperation and smiled at Lucario when he bounded closer to Delia to get a better look at what was inside the blankets she was holding. "Hello Lucario" She greeted.

*Hi Delia* Lucario greeted back. *Is this the baby?* He gestured to the blankets.

She smiled and nodded. "Would you like to hold her?" She asked. Lucario beamed while Red looked like he was going to have a panic attack.

"Delia." Red protested, panicked, as his wife shifted her hold on Ashlyn so she could pass her over to Lucario. "Lucario has paws, he might not be able to hold her properly. She could slip from them and fall. She could get hurt. Not to mention his spikes. Lucario might accidentally scratch her." Delia sighed in exasperation as Red continued to ramble away on what might happen if Lucario held their daughter. It looked like Red was going to be an overprotective father.

*I'm not going to drop her.* Lucario protested heatedly. *You know I have a good grip. And I'm always careful with my spikes. She won't get hurt. Besides, she's bound to be bored without her uncle Lucario* He crossed his arms angrily and glared at Red as the man floundered.

Moving over to Delia, Lucario gently lifted the baby into his arms as the mother passed her over, and carefully held her away from his chest spike as he cooed over her and started talking… well, aura speaking, to tell her how cute she was and how he couldn't wait for her to get older so they could play.

Delia laughed as Red panicked over Lucario holding Ashlyn and started hovering around the two to make sure that his Pokemon wouldn't accidentally hurt his daughter. *Welcome to the world Ashlyn Ketchum.* Lucario yelled as he held her out at arm's length and grinned at her. Then Red and he started to panic as Ashlyn broke into loud, eardrum murdering wails, while Delia sighed tiredly from her place on the bed.

So, I hope you guys enjoyed the beginning of this story. This is what I imagine would happen if I was born into an AU Pokemon fandom crossover, with oc's and new developments galore.

I've read stories where a person becomes Ash, but they never go into depth on Ash's childhood. They all start at his Pokemon Journey and I was wondering what would happen if there was a fanfiction that went into depth on how Ash, or Ashlyn in this case, grew up.

Anyways, in future chapters, I will include some timelines and extra information so that you lovely young readers will hopefully be able to understand the story better.

Also, as some of you may have noticed, Delia now has Pokemon. I will be explaining that later so sit tight for the reveal of how that happened.

Lastly, while I do not appreciate mean and derogative comments about my writing, I would like it if people could comment on what I could do to improve my story by telling me what you think could have been better and why.

Also, this is MY story, so I decide the plot and how the story goes. I will not have random people telling me I should do this or that. I would be happy to listen to your ideas, but if I don't incorporate them into my story, do not get angry at me. They're probably very good ideas, they just don't fit in with my story.

Anyways, I'll talk to you guys later, in the next chapter.
