Summary: A few years before Ash started his journey he met a young girl who changed how he looked at everything. He studied Pokemon types more and became more intelligent about Pokemon. She made him believe in himself and he never let Gary's taunts get to him because of her. As they grew up together he found himself looking at her like a younger sister and became really protective over her. When they leave for their journey they both realize something. They are different from other trainers and in two completely different ways... This takes place years after they start their journeys and starts in Sinnoh where Ash has decided that he is actually going to show his smarts for the first time and Rin has decided that she is going to do whatever it takes to help Ash achieve his dreams.

Artemis-no-Subaku: Make sure to read this note through to the end. I own nothing but my plot and oc! Ash will change more than most people think but it will be gradual as the series goes on. The reason I'm starting in Sinnoh is because I know the most about it at the moment. I may have flashbacks about Johto or Kanto as the story progresses though. If someone has a male charrie that they want in a fic but never had the time to use it send it to me and I'll use it. I'll take three charries only…. make sure you give me their teams as well

Warnings: Smarter!Ash, Aura Guardian!Ash, OOC!Ash/Gary, OOC!Dawn/Brock, Palletshipping, psychic best friend!Rin, half-sister!Rin (isn't found out until later in series by Ash and Rin, their moms know), Uncle/Protective!Giovanni, Good!Teamrocket, Aunt/Uncle Figures! Jessie/James (more warnings may come….)

Mom pulled the moving truck into our new driveway just up the way from the lab. We had just moved here from Kalos after finally deciding that it was time after learning that Father had another wife in Kanto. Mom didn't blame her though, as Father had been known to be a ladies man back home. Mom's Pyroar yawned on the seat next to me as I smile running my fingers through her fur happily.

Mom's long silver white hair blew in the wind that came in through the open window of the moving truck as we finally stopped in front of the house. The house next to ours had a little boy playing in the front yard. He had black hair, amber brown eyes, with distinct little 'z' like marks on his cheeks that looked vaguely familiar. I shook my head making my own silver hair, an exact copy of my mothers, fall into my red-pink eyes.

I climbed out carefully with the help of Pyroar who had gotten out before me. She curled around me protectively making me smile happily. The little boy looked up and his eyes widened before he darted into his house yelling mama. I frowned before walking up the driveway to my house carefully making sure I didn't trip over any rocks in my path.

I wasn't as clumsy as most 5 year olds were which kind of surprise maman. Pyroar bumped her head into my back and helped me into the house as I looked around quietly. She rumbled and I could kind of catch what she was saying but it wasn't clear enough really.

No one outside of Maman and I knew that I could understand Pokemon. We hid it at the urging of Professor Sycamore who was the first to notice that I had been developing Psychic powers when I turned 3 years old. We had started to look for another Psychic who would hopefully be able to help me but could never find one back home in Kalos. So Maman decided that maybe we should try out the other regions.

A knock at the front door knocked me out of my thoughts and I turned around confused.

"Maman!" I yelled hugging Pyroar worriedly.

Maman came out and wiped her hands off though I could still see paint on them. It wasn't surprising that she had already gotten into her paints and had started to paint. She opened the door as I hid behind her legs looking out worriedly. There was a woman at the door with the little boy from earlier. She was holding a pie in her arms and had a large warm smile on her lips. It made me happy to see it as the little boy slowly edged out from behind the woman.

"Hello." Maman said smiling at the two as I slowly copied the boy.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor Delia Ketchum and this is my Ashton Ketchum, though he prefers to be called Ash." Miss Delia said smiling back at Maman.

"Well I'm Sinon Kurosaki and this is my daughter Rin Kurosaki. Its a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Ketchum." Maman chuckled softly.

"Oh no its just Miss Ketchum." Delia sighed shaking her head.

"Oh and why is that?" Maman asked, leading her inside leaving me with the boy, Ash.

We studied each other quietly as I slowly let go of my protector and took a few uneasy steps forward. I smiled slightly at Ash as he slowly looked at me. I held out my hand to him and he took it, though I could see the hesitation in the movement.

"Hello I'm Rin." I said giggling and drawing my hand back before laying it on Pyroar at my side. "This is Maman's Pyroar, Itsuki."

"I'm Ash." he mumbled staring up at Itsuki in awe.

"Hey do you want to go play?" I asked innocently.

"Sure!" he said happily before we went outside to play.

-Sinon

I laughed as I talked with Delia and shook my head amused. The sounds of the Pidgey chirping outside the window was soothing as we talked. The pie she had brought over was sitting on the table untouched.

"So why aren't you married?" I asked her confused.

Delia seemed to deflate in her seat as a dark look overcame her eyes. It made me flinch in shock as I sat up straighter in my seat. The look disappeared instantly as she sighed and rested her elbows on her knees as she looked up at me with dark brown eyes.

"I had found out that my Fiancee had another family, with a daughter younger than our son was." Delia sighed closing those anguished eyes.

I blinked slightly in shock before shaking my head at the similarities in our stories. A horrified thought crossed my mind as I looked at her. She looked like the woman from the photo that had been in Richard's wallet that had caused me to leave him.

"My boyfriend did the same but he had a son." I said despairingly. "I had found a picture of her in his wallet one day, with his arms wrapped around her. She had been pregnant in the picture."

Delia looked up shocked as I nodded grimly. She sighed before sitting up in her seat and looked me in the eye. I knew exactly what was going through her head and I looked back at her.

"At the same time?" I asked unnecessarily.

She nodded and we both opened our mouths and said the name "Richard Rocket" at the same time.

We stared at each other blankly for a few minutes before a sob left Delia. A small sob escaped my own throat as I buried my face in my hands. How could he do this to us I thought despairingly.

"I don't blame you just him." I said some time later after clearing my face of tears.

"We can't tell the kids they share the same father either." Delia sighed running a weary hand over her face.

I nodded in agreement looking out the window at our two children as they played with Itsuki happily. Itsuki is one of the strongest of my team and had been since I was young. It was one of the perks being the ex-champion of Kalos, that was until Diantha destroyed my team in a battle and caused my starter to pass away from the injuries he had obtained from all of her attacks. Rin still doesn't understand what had happened to him and still wonders when we will get Orion back from Nurse Joy. But I knew that the Delphox wasn't going to make it through after the fight after going up against Diantha's mega evolved Gardevior. It took my Pikachu to finally take down Gardevior but the damage had been done.

I sighed and looked up at the ceiling of the living room quietly as my hand drifted to the pocket with my pokeballs in it. Delia saw the movement and frowned as I pulled out my pokeballs and laid them on the table. There were only five as I never found it in me to be able to replace my starter.

"Why do you only have five?" Delia asked cautiously.

"The new champion of Kalos killed my starter in battle." I sighed closing my eyes. "It was her Mega Gardevior against my Delphox, Orion, and even after he was beat she never ordered Gardevior to stop."

Delia gasped in horror and covered her mouth as she stared down at the five pokeballs on the table. I placed a hand on my teams pokeballs and let them out with a sigh. Four flashes of light accompanied the team being released and I took in my team for the first time in months.

The first to be show was my Lucario, Luca. Lucario's dark blue fur was shining in the muted light that came in from the window. The spikes on the back of his hands were polished to a shine and there were no kinks in them at all. The one on his chest show the most damage though, from where Diantha's Goodra had hit it with a devastating Fireblast attack. He leaned against the wall behind me and stared out at the children in the yard silently.

The second was Glaceon or as I knew her, Kiki, whose fur was darker than it used to be. The usual light blue of her fur had been permanently singed from a thunder attack that had come from Diantha's Aurorus. She was looking around tiredly before she sat down and rested her head on her front paws. She had laid herself at my feet in a gesture of obedience and in submission. It was sad to see the once proud pokemon acting like this.

The third was my Pidgeot, Sky, who had been lucky enough. He had faced the Gourgeist that Diantha had and had quickly beaten it with two hurricanes. The feathers around his eyes though were damaged and were singed from the Phantom Force attack that it had landed on him before we were able to beat it.

The last and final member of my team in the room was Pikachu, or Pichi as she had been wanted to be called. Her light fur was dark in the shadowed part of the room that she was in and had a little dent in her right ear from where Tyrantrum had bitten her before she could land Volt Switch. Her ears perked up before she ran over and hopped up into my lap with a soft 'cha' of pleasure. I smiled and leaned down to kiss the top of her head warmly.

"Is this your team?" Delia asked me after studying everyone.

"Yes and along with my Pyroar outside." I said petting Pichi.

"They are nice." Delia chuckled as she studied all of my pokemon quietly.

"Do you have any Delia?" I questioned her with a tilted head.

"I used to have a Charizard who is in Charicific Valley and my Lapras, which I released back to its pod." Delia chuckled.

I nodded amused as my pokemon slowly started to disperse and look around quietly. I shook my head as I blew my bangs out of my eyes. She looked out the window making me look to and the smile on my lips widened as our children talked to each other excitedly. The brother and sister were running and chasing each other happily as they played.

Pyroar's head snapped up as she growled protectively, wrapping her body around the two little kids. I got up and hurried out with Delia behind me. Pyroar was growling at a Fearow that had gotten to close to the kids.

"Itsuki use Flame Burst." I snapped running through my front door.

Pyroar howled her name as she spat out the attack as I made my way behind her and grabbed the kids. Shoving them behind me, I glared at the Fearow angrily as I felt Delia bring the kids to her protectively behind me.

Fearow used Wing Attack to try and overpower the Flame Burst but it easily slipped through the attack and hit the Beak Pokemon. Fearow squawked in anger as its eyes narrowed at my Pyroar. It's wings glowed white and it launched a Steel Wing at Pyroar who took it with ease.

"Itsuki use Overheat now." I snapped.

She roared before gathering the needed energy to launch the attack as Fearow launched another Steel Wing in a last attempt to K.O. my Pyroar. It was no use though, as the attack launched and took out the Fearow without another thought.

I sighed and ran my hand through the lock of hair that covered Pyroar's head and smiled slightly down at the female. She purred low in her throat and leaned into my hand happily. Rin hurried over and wrapped her thin arms around Pyroar's neck. I smiled down at my daughter as she buried her face in my pokemon's neck.

"That was awesome!" Ash's voice rang out from behind me.

I turned around and smiled at the little boy who was only just a little bit older than my daughter. He smiled back before approaching warily and held his hand out to Pyroar. She sniffed his hand before licking it with another purr making a laugh escape me. I shook my head as she gently grasped his shirt in her jaw and pulled him close to her and Rin.

I shook my head as Pyroar took the kids back in the house. Delia smirked and shook her head amused as we made our way back into the house. The kids were in the living room and were curled up in front of the tv watching it excitedly. I laughed and took a seat on the couch amused as Delia took a seat next to me. We watched our kids in companionable silence and it felt like we were a family, for the first time in a long time.
