Artemis-no-Subaku: Hi guys! So I really wanted to try something new that I was playing around with a while back. It's going to be a bit different from most of the Pokemon fanfictions that I've read or seen. So here we go. Also I do need a male and female oc to make up Cora's traveling group

Summary: Ash and Coralee Ketchum, the only set of twins in Pallet town and fraternal ones at that. Ash the stronger of the two became a well known trainer in town while his sister remained at home. When things change she leaves home and goes out on her own journey while trying to get out from under her brother's shadow. Coralee, taking her uncle's name, leaves home and behind her forgetful mother, hoping that she will have a better life under her Uncle's name.

Warnings: OOC!Ash, Oc twin, Twin Ash, Delia Bashing (very slight), Professor Oak Bashing, Protective Gary Oak, Red is Ash and Coralee's Uncle, More to come!

The sound of Pidgey chirping made the young woman laying in her bed turn on her side and yawn softly. Her black hair fell over her face, tickling her nose making her sneeze in shock. She sat up and stretched her arms above her head, enjoying the feel of her back popping as she did so. A small smile curled her lips as she looked at the end of her bed where her Eevee laid, still sleeping happily.

She rolled out of bed, making no sound as she did so. She tiptoed over to her closet and pulled out the clothes that she had set aside for this day and slipped out of her pajamas. Sliding on her tube top, the young woman made sure that nothing would show. She grabbed her dark blue button down with white striping on it and tied it off just below her black tube top. She then slid on her black capris and black no show socks.

The sound of her Eevee moving around made the still dressing young woman turn around and smile slightly at the sight of the fox like pokemon waking up. The little fox like pokemon stretched its back, yawning out its name softly as she pulled on her white mid calf length boots with gold clasps holding down the straps. A soft chuckle escaped the 15 year old as she blew her black hair out of her face in amusement.

"Umbra." Cora coaxed softly getting the Eevee to turn around.

"Eev-vui." the female Eevee cooed before jumping into the young woman's arms.

The young woman chuckled softly, shaking her head before heading over to her vanity, taking a look at the picture that she made. Her hair was wild and unbrushed, and her red eyes were still slightly unfocused. A soft sigh escaped the young woman as she sat down and set Umbra down on her vanity before grabbing her brush. She ran it through her hip length hair quietly, taking comfort from the sound of the Pidgey outside of her window.

The sound of her mother starting to move around and that of her brother made the redhead freeze up slightly and turn to look at her door. A small frown curled her lips as she took in the sounds now starting to take over their house and shook her head. Standing up, her fingers found the mole, or beauty mark as her mother called it, under her right eye and traced it. Dropping her hand she grabbed her necklace which had a keystone hanging from it and fastened it around her neck. After her necklace was fastened she took her black arm warmers, which came up to just under her shirt and slid them on, leaving only her fingers visible. Once finished she stood from her vanity and picked up Umbra who curled up in her master's arms happily.

"We're leaving today Umbra." Cora told the Eevee softly.

The Eevee in her arms looked up at her in confusion, before cooing and nodding her head. Umbra jumped out of her arms as the young woman set about making sure that everything was in the bag that her Uncle had given to her. Once she was satisfied that everything was in the bag she headed downstairs where she could hear her mother and brother moving around.

A small yellow blur stopped at her feet making the girl look down at her brother's starter and shake her head quietly. Pikachu frowned up at his master's sister and squeaked, taking in the messenger bag that she had slung across her body. Its eyes widened in realization before he nodded and took off towards the kitchen where his master and his master's mother were. Umbra and he had been talking and it was about time that the two got out of here without being noticed.

The young woman slipped out of her house quietly and shut the door behind her as softly and gently as she could. Mimey looked at her and frowned, pointing its broom at her making the young woman worried. She shook her head desperately at the aging Psychic type, a pleading look on her face. Mimey sighed, it's shoulders drooping as it looked at its master's only daughter. Turning its back on her, it hoped that it was making the right decision.

Cora sighed to herself, a small one of relief as she headed towards the edge of town where she was supposed to meet her uncle. There, she was going to get her documentation about her name change and all that she needed for when she finished getting ready to leave. Her uncle, Red Silvano, was the champion here in Kanto, which meant that she had a lot to live up to. A soft sigh escaped the young woman as she made it to the edge of town where her uncle stood, his black hair shadowing over his crimson colored eyes.

There had been quite a bit of controversy when Cora had been born because of her looks. Many had speculated the worst but it had been cleared up by the Silverano family. Most women looked like that in their family, Delia being the one exception. Basically, Delia and Red, had their looks switched at birth and were complete opposites of what they should have looked like. So when Ash and Cora had been born and things were back to normal no one in their family blinked an eye.

"Cora." her uncle's strong, husky voice rang in her ears pleasantly.

She smiled up at him happily, Umbra chirping a greeting from her arms. A small smile curled the young man's lips as he reached out and pet the child of his own Espeon that he had given to his niece as an egg when her brother had gone out on his own journey. Delia had always hoped that her daughter would follow in her footsteps and take over the diner that they ran but it was not to be. Coralee had the same drive as the other Silverano's had, the one to go and explore.

"Uncle, is everything ready?" she asked him with a tilted head.

He nodded, his black hair waving slightly under his cap. She smiled up at him widely as she set Umbra down and took the package in his arms from him. Reaching in she pulled out a Kalosian version of the pokedex and a note from Professor Sycamore. Setting the note aside to read later she pulled out a pokeball that she immediately clipped to her belt. The final thing in the package was an Incubator that had nothing in it, which didn't surprise the young woman.

"Professor Sycamore was kind enough to make sure that your name change was legal and that any pokemon over six that you caught would be transferred here to Oak's corral. That will change though once you move to Kalos with me and they will be transferred to his lab." Red explained. "Since you are being sponsored by another Professor, Oak is unable to say no to housing your pokemon while you are journeying. Also, keep an eye out for Paul, he's here in the Kanto region."

Cora perked up at that and smiled widely, her eyes wide in happiness. While Paul had been one of her brother's old rivals she found that she liked him a lot, especially as a trainer. A sudden hand on top of the young woman's head made her look at her Uncle and smile up at him in happiness.

"Thank you so much Uncle." she told him, an honest smile curling her lips.

"You're welcome Cora." Red told her honestly. "You deserve it."

She smiled up at him and hugged him tightly around his waist, her arms locking tightly to him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as he hugged her to him tightly and buried his face in his niece's hair. She was the one out of his sister's children that he was close to and he wasn't afraid to admit that. A soft coo made the two look down at their feet and chuckle softly at Umbra who was sitting there looking up at the two of them unhappily.

"Alright Umbra, come here." Cora chuckled, stepping away from her uncle and held out her arms for her starter.

The Eevee jumped into her arms happily and let out a purr as the young woman started the run her fingers through the fox's fur. Her uncle smiled slightly as he looked at the two that stood in front of him. He reached out and ran his fingers through his niece's hair gently, making Cora lean into his hand.

"In that Pokeball is the son of my Venusaur and Meganium." he told her. "Bulbasaur is to be your starter, according to the league. That was the way Sycamore set up your pokedex with Eevee being your second pokemon already."

"Thank you Uncle." Cora said gratefully, her red eyes locking with the same colored ones of her Uncle.

The way the young woman acted around him wasn't that surprising, though. Red knew that he was one of her only family members who supported her decision to go out and journey on her own. He watched as his niece start to walk away her Eevee in her arms. A small smile curled his lips as he shook his head as he watched her head off finally on her own.

Artemis: So this is only just the start of Two Sides of the Same Coin. This only the start of what is going to be Coralee's journey and as a result of that this story is going to go on for a long time. I plan for this to go on for a while, I probably will make her go through all of the regions. Ash is going to be trying to find her so he will occasionally show up during the story as well.

So if anyone is interested, I do need to characters that are going to travel with Cora. If interested please do not hesitate to ask me to send the character skeleton to you. I will also post it on my page for anyone who might be interested.

Till next time!

Artemis~
