10 YEARS BEFORE MAIN STORYLINE
The forest that surrounded Pallet Town was usually a very peaceful place, many kind of pokemon called this area their home and the large trees made the place look very serene and calm. However, that was not the case today, as a full grown Zoroark was zigzagging through the tree's with an egg in it's arms. It quickly looked behind it, only to see an angry mob not far behind. The mob seemed to be carrying all sorts of weapons and items as they were chasing down the Zoroark, most of the crowd was screaming profanities or phrases along the lines of "We're gonna kill you and then we're gonna murder that f*ing abomination that you've created!" This only made the Zoroark quicken its pace until it managed to lose sight of them. When it was far enough away it decided to take a quick look around, what it saw did not disappoint.
It seems that it knew this area well. The Zoroark's ears perked up at the sound of shouts and yells. It quickly ran into a little cave that it knew of and rolled a boulder right in front of the entrance. The Zoroark quickly sat down to catch her breath, when it was calmed down it lovingly looked at the bundle in it's arms. The Zoroark slowly unwrapped the bundle in her arms revealing an egg.
The Zoroark was smiling happily at the egg when all of a sudden it began to glow bright white, it was hatching! The Zoroark's grin quickly grew bigger as it sat there and waited for it to hatch. When the glow stopped, in place of the egg was a small human like baby. It had pale white skin covering most of it's human shaped body and pitch black hair, that is where it's human features ended. It's Zorua like ears poked up above his pitch black hair with blue tips, his human shaped hands were covered in bright blue fur that changed into pitch black as it went over the forearms and stopped at the elbow. Each finger was claw like in shape and had very little nail. His feet were quite similar as they were also covered in bright blue fur that changed to pitch black as it stopped at his knee. His face was pointed and angular, kinda like a snout. He let out small yawn showing that his mouth were full of razor sharp teeth, when he was finished yawning he slowly cracked open his light blue eyelids to reveal neon red eyes that had golden flakes speckled across them. And lastly his small adorable tail that looked as if it was from a Zorua(Which it technically is was).
Now there are a lot of differences between humans and Pokémon, one of them is that most if not all pokémon can speak when they're born; even if the speech is crude it is understandable. But, it was still surprising when the small baby let out a mewl. "Momma?"
The female Zoroark looked slightly taken aback from the word. She let a lone tear roll down her face. "Yes I'm your momma."
The little child tried to stand up on two legs, but it inevitably fell down on all fours. He scurried into his mother's grasp, giving her a surprising Nuzzle. The Zoroark tried to look down at her child in surprise but then the paralysis set in. Her smile grew wider at this new surprise. "You've only just hatched and you're already able to use moves, you're going to be so powerful."
He looked so happy at her comment that he ended up using the move Baby-Doll Eyes on his mother. "I love momma!"
She was quickly put under the spell of the move and broke the effects of the weak paralysis from the last move, she then quickly snatched him up into her arms and hugged him tightly to her chest. "I love you too!"
When the effects wore off she was surprised, yet content, with the position that she was in. When she remembered what happened she quickly thought to herself, 'Wait normally he shouldn't be able to use that move. That shouldn't even be an egg move for our species! What's going on?'
She took a quick questioning glance at her son as if he knew the answer to her question, but he was already curled up and asleep in her arms. She slowly drifted off into the land of dreams with him.
????? HOURS LATER
She slowly woke up to the sound of chattering teeth, not from herself, but from the child that she was holding in her arms. She determined that it must've been nighttime outside if her child was shivering, she couldn't really tell if it was cold or not, since her whole body was covered in fur; however, his was only covered partially. She quietly got up while holding him and quickly covered him in his blanket, while she slowly removed the boulder blocking the entrance. As she poked her head out of the entrance she felt a breeze blow across her snout.
She looked up into the sky and saw the moon staring back at her. She heard chattering again. She looked towards her baby in worry. "We need to get you somewhere warm. I might as well go there."
She quickly looked towards the direction of Pallet Town. Since it was nighttime that meant everyone was most likely sleeping. Even if they weren't, she could just create an illusion until she got to there.
She slowly snuck past each house as she was heading for her destination. She saw a beam of light that was dancing upon the street, she quickly followed the direction it came from, only to see her destination. Professor Oak's laboratory.
She quickened her pace until she finally reached the door. She knocked on the door hoping for an answer. It came almost immediately. "Hello. What do you ne-"
Professor Oak looked at her with a wide eyed expression and said in a hushed tone, "Get in. Quickly."
As he ushered her in through the doorway, she got a good view of all the paperwork that was strewn all about the place. When they were inside and when they heard the door lock, Professor Oak turned to look at her, while clutching his head and biting his lip in anxiety. "What are you doing here Delilah? There's an angry mob after you, and you decide to walk through the center of that mob's town. If they find you, you're... you're... you're dead."
She looked towards him with an aloof expression," I used an illusion. They wouldn't have seen me even if they tried. Besides, the baby was cold."
Professor Oak looked at her in concern. "What baby?"
Delilah slowly moved the bundle in her arms to show the Professor. When the Professor saw the bundle he began to look at it until a small adorable yawn came from it, along with a small slightly pudgy arm poking out of the fabric. She removed the cloth covering his face.
When the Professor saw two furry ears twitch from the breeze they were hit with as the cover was removed, his smile grew so large that it made him look ten years younger. She noticed his smile and a thought came and hit her. She looked at the Professor with a look of glee. "Sam, what if I lived here, but, like in human form."
The Professor looked at her as if that were the stupidest idea he had ever heard. The Professor whisper shouted, "Live here! Are you stupid! Everyone in this small backwater town is hunting you down. And your first thought is live here!?"
Delilah gave him a hurt look. "Well I could easily create an illusion of a human form and never be found out. Besides, I could keep my baby at home until he learns to control his illusions. Plus I've got the three pendants that were given two us by that witch, so we can keep our illusions from breaking, they're practically invincible."
Oak asked incredulously, "Do you even know if he'll even be able to use Pokémon moves or Pokémon energy!?"
Her glare grew firm. "Yes, I do know. Considering that right after he hatched he used two different Pokémon attacks on me."
Professor Oak looked slightly taken aback. "Uh... oh fine, but if you're going to live here you need to change your name."
Delilah looked up in thought for about a minute before looking back at Sam. "How about Delia?"
The Professor face palmed. She looked at him with a hurt expression. "What's wrong with it. It's sweet. It's short. It's simple, plus if you mess up my name people won't think so much a out it. Since Delia and Delilah aren't that hard to mix up. It's perfect."
Sam looked surprised at her insight. He gave her a curious glance before he heard a rustle from the bundle in her arms. He looked at her questioningly as if asking for permission for something. "Can we scan him?"
"Sure, plus I want to see what he's able to do too." The newly named Delia said.
Oak quickly scrambled to his lab in search of a pokédex. When he finally found one he ran back to the main room, sat down and pointed it at the baby.
[ Zorua: The Tricky Fox Pokémon. It changes into the forms of others to surprise them. Apparently, it often transforms into a silent child.]
[Judging from this Pokémon's color, it is a shiny Pokémon]
[Would you like to scan it's moves]
[Yes]
[No]
Sam clicked the yes button.
[Would you like to separate his moves by type or leave as is?]
[Separate]
[Leave]
Sam looked in confusion. "Does he really have so many moves that they have to be separated by type?" He clicked separate.

Professor Oak and Delia looked at the Pokédex in astonishment. "What, half of these moves he shouldn't even be able to use! How... just how, how is he able to have this many egg moves! Are you sure that you weren't on any kind of enhanced drug when you had him?" He stuttered with a flabbergasted tone.
She quickly shook her head. After ten minutes of what seemed like pure madness they finally settled down. He turned to face Delia as she was holding onto her baby. He quickly looked at her with a small smile upon his face. "That's one special baby you have there. Now I think it's off to bed for both of you, come on, upstairs." He muttered while ushering her upstairs.
Before they reached the top step he took a glance at her before lightly grabbing her shoulder. "Oh and before I forget, you need to name the child if you're going to live in human society. So, what will you name the baby?"
She momentarily looked at the bundle that was wrapped up tightly in her arms. A thoughtful look graced her face as she thought. She looked at him again, this time brushing some soot off of his fur that had managed to get there. A grin crawled up her face as she concluded a name.
"Ash."
