Chapter 1
Excitement shone in Ash's eyes as he looked out of the plane's window, besides him his mother sat calmly looking out of the window while her hand rested on the Pokeball that belonged to Mr. Mime. Originally Mr. Mime would of sat next to Delia only for the plan to change when they realised that he had a bad fear of aeroplanes.
"This is amazing!" Ash cried out drawing his mother's and Professor Oak's attention to him, "I hope we get to met loads of new Pokémon and battle tones of strong trainers!"
"Well Ash in the Unova region is filled with Pokémon that you will not find in the Kanto, Johto, Honnen or Sinnon region," Professor Oak informed Ash causing Ash's excitement to reach an all time high.
"I can't wait!" Ash cried out as Pikachu cried out in agreement, "What do you think mum? After all you did chose to travel here."
"Well I had first thought of travelling around the Sinnon region but when Professor Oak informed me that Gary was heading in that direction to do his a favour I thought it would be better if we came to the Unova region," Delia said with a serene smile, "Ash...would you mind going up front and asking when we will arrive?"
"What about the call button?" Ash asked in confusion as he pointed to the button above his seat.
"It does not work Ash," Professor Oak said quickly feeling Delia's gaze on him.
"Alright, I'll tell them it's broken while I'm up there," Ash said as he undid his seatbelt and stood up, "Let's go Pikachu."
Delia and Professor Oak did not say a single word as they watched Ash squeeze past them out into the walkway and towards the front of the plane with Pikachu on happily sat on Ash's shoulder. Once Ash was out of ear range Professor Oak gripped the coarse feeling arm of the chair and looked at Delia with an uneasy expression on his face.
"Are you sure this is the right thing to do Delia? I thought that originally you had wanted to travel to find your husband," Professor Oak said as he sent Delia a worried look, "What is with trying to find Ash a bodyguard all of a sudden? What would R-"
"My husband has had no input with bringing up our son and when I tried to contact him about my message I was unable to so I left a message," Delia replied simply as she turned to Professor Oak while keeping one eye out for Ash, "I do not see any harm in find Ash a bodyguard while we are travelling, with all the trouble and adventures Ash has gotten himself into I have started to worry. Besides! Have you seen the photo's of the strong trainers there are in the Unova region!"
"Strong trainers?" Professor Oak asked in shock, "Delia how do you even know if Ash will even let a bodyguard travel with him?"
"A mother knows, he will let a bodyguard travel with him," Delia replied with a fire in her eyes, "Besides if he won't then he will be stuck travelling with me, I am worried that one of these days Ash will return home in a body bag."
"Have you ever thought that Ash might just leave the bodyguard during the night?" Professor Oak suggested, he felt pity for Ash.
"I guessed something like that might happen which is why I will be making sure Ash see's the person as a friend first and then a bodyguard. And this is another reason why I wanted to travel with Ash for, I want to get to know my son. His grown up so fast during his adventures that I hardly know him anymore, I do not want to end up losing him like I might have with my husband," Delia answered before a sudden fire lit in her eyes, "And from the information my husband's friends have sent me there is a high chance that he is in the Unova region so when I get my hands on him I will not be letting him go any time soon!"
"I-I understand, it looks like you already have the reunion planned," Professor Oak said with a nervous grin, "Do you think-"
"Mum! Professor Oak!"
The pair fell silent and looked up only to spot Ash running towards them with Pikachu at his feet.
"Did you find out when the plane will be landing?" Delia asked as her son neared them.
"Yeah, in a minute or so," Ash replied excitedly as he slipped past his mother and Professor Oak back into his seat and did up his seatbelt as Pikachu leapt back into his lap, "The lady said the pilot should be making his announcement right n-"
"Welcome to the Unova region ladies and gentlemen," the pilots voice suddenly said as it burst out of the speakers, "Thank you for flying with us.""
A few seconds later with a small bump the plane landed on top of the blue ocean water not far away from the boats.
"I can't wait to see all the new Pokémon!" Ash yelled out suddenly as the captain made the announcement that it was safe to leave the plane, "I'm so excited!"
"We will be seeing all the new Pokémon soon Ash but remember that we are meeting up with Professor Juniper," Delia said with a small smile as she and Professor Oak undid their seatbelts and stood up.
"I know but I will be finally seeing loads of new Pokémon and people before Gary!" Ash said excitedly as he fidgeted about waiting to get off of the plane, "I wonder what sort of Pokémon are just outside the plane!"
"Well Ash we will never know unless we get moving," Professor Oak said with an understanding smile as he joined the group of people slowly moving off of the plane.
Grinning madly Ash followed the Pokémon Professor's lead with Pikachu on his head and his mother bringing up the rear. The trio of humans and Pikachu slowly made their way out of the plane and took their first steps in the Unova region. A large smile appeared on Ash's face as he ran a few feet away from the two adults and peered curiously into the water only to let out a cry of surprise as a strange pink fish Pokémon jumped out of the water for a second before disappering back into the ocean.
"Amazing! I wonder what that Pokémon was!" Ash cried out feeling like it was Christmas day, "Mum, come and look!"
Nervously frowning Delia opened her mouth only for Professor Oak to put his hand on her shoulder and send her a comforting and encouraging smile.
"Go and have a look Delia, I know you are just as excited as Ash is," Professor Oak said taking his hand off of Delia's shoulder, "I have all the paperwork needed so I'll go and sort it out and get our bags."
"Thank you Professor," Delia replied with a smile before turning back to her son and making her way over to Ash, "I'm coming Ash!"
Just as Delia made it half way to Ash a low but dangerous rumbling of thunder echoed throughout the area. Looking up at the sky Delia let out a gasp as a strange circler storm cloud came towards them at a fast pace. Remembering what Ash had told her about his previous arrivals in different regions and not wanting Ash or Pikachu to get hurt Delia's hand flew straight to her Mimey's pokeball, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"Mimey, protect Ash and Pikachu!" Delia cried out as she threw the Pokéball and with a bright burst of red light her Mr. Mime stood next to Ash and Pkachu ready for action.
Looking around for just what might be a danger to his trainer's child and Pokémon partner Mimey looked up only to let out a worried cry as a large bolt of thunder came crashing down towards them. Thinking fast Mimey grabbed both Ash and Pikachu before teleporting them both away and reappearing next to Delia. The thunder hit the ground in the exact place Pikachu had been moments before.
With wide eyes Ash looked up into the eye of the storm, "What is that Pokémon?" he asked as he spotted a large black strange shape in the middle of the storm. The glowing red eyes seemed to stare straight into Ash's soul.
Following her son's gaze Delia looked up into the sky only to shot the strange Pokémon in the sky for a second before a blinding flash of blue light filled their vision. Worried for his trainer Mimey quickly threw up a protective barrier around them all, not wanting his trainer or her son and Pikachu to be harmed. As quickly as it had come the bright blue light disappeared and took the storm with it leaving nothing but bright blue sunny skies.
"What a storm, was there really a Pokémon in the middle of those clouds?" Delia asked as Mimey nervously dropped the barrier, "Did you rec-"
"Delia! Ash!" the voice of Professor Oak suddenly cried out causing the group to turn around only to find Professor Oak quickly running towards them with the two large suitcases being dragged behind him, "Are you both alright?"
"We are fine Professor," Delia replied before as she looked at her son only to get a nod of agreement, "Do you have any idea what just happened?"
"All I saw was black storm clouds from where I was," Professor Oak replied with a frown, "Maybe Professor Juniper knows something about this."
Nodding their heads in agreement Professor Oak, Delia and Ash along with Pikachu and Mimey turned and head off of the pier and towards the nearby road only for a jeep to suddenly pull up and a young woman stepped out.
"Professor Juniper!" Professor Oak cried out happily as he went to greet his fellow Pokémon Professor.
The woman seemed to scream out Pokémon Professor to Ash, she had the same white lab coat that all the Pokémon Professor's he had meet owned. She had long brown hair done up in a high ponytail which framed her face perfectly showing off her soft blue eyes and allowed her red diamonded shaped earrings to dangle freely. Under her lab coat she wore a plain white t-shirt and a plain green shirt with a pair of red and white trainers on her feet.
"I'm so sorry about being late, I got stuck in that strange thunder storm," Professor Juniper said with a kind smile before looking at Ash and Delia, "It's nice to meet you all, I'm Professor Juniper."
"Professor Oak has told me so much about you Professor," Delia said with a kind smile on her face, "My name is Delia and this is my Mimey, my son Ash and his Pokémon partner Pikachu."
At their names Ash, Mimey and Pikachu let out their own version of a greeting which Professor Juniper returned.
"Well how about we get going? From what Professor Oak tells me Ash I bet you are just dying to see all the Pokémon that the Unova region has to offer," Professor Juniper said with a smile as she motioned to her jeep.
Nodding their heads everyone climbed into the jeep through Mimey was returned to his Pokeball when there was found to be not enough space. Slipping into his seat in the jeep with Pikachu sitting on his lap Ash began to look around for any new Pokémon he could spot.
"This is going to be awesome!" Ash said excitedly as Professor Juniper started the jeep and pulled out onto the road.
