~~~~~~I am a line~~~~~~~

-Years later (day before leaving for Sinnoh)-

-Rin

I yawned as I slowly woke up listening to the sounds of the Pidgey chirping outside. The caw of the Bird Pokemon was relaxing but also invigorating at the same time. I could hear the soft snore that I had grown used to coming from my mom. The sounds of banging next door made me fly out of bed worriedly and look out my window at Ash's window that was right across the way from me.

Ash smirked at me from his window as Pikachu jumped onto his head startling a laugh from me as they backed away to get dressed. Rolling my eyes I backed away from my own window and shut the curtains amused. I reached out and pulled off the long t-shirt that I had worn to bed and grabbed my chest binding before binding my chest quickly.

Reaching down I grabbed my sun dress and pulled it on with a yawn and put on my trainers belt. I walked down the stairs barefoot, not really caring what was going on at the moment. Mom was at the stove cooking breakfast with Pyroar at her feet watching closely. I shook my head amused as Ash came in with a big grin on his face. I raised an eyebrow at him confused as his expression morphed into a serious one.

"Its time Rin." he said making my eyes widen.

"Are you sure Ash?" I asked him cautiously.

He nodded and smiled at me making me relax in my seat. Pikachu jumped down off of Ash's shoulder and hurried to me with a soft coo. I smiled and scratched him between his ears amused and listened to him coo in pleasure. Mom set food down on the table as Delia walked into the kitchen yawning tiredly, Mr. Mime following behind her.

Pikachu's eyes opened and stared at the bottle of ketchup that was placed in front of him, making me snicker as he squealed in pleasure and grabbed the bottle in his small arms. I chuckled as Ash shook his head amused and watched his partner with indulging eyes. Breakfast started out quietly ignoring the slurping from Pikachu with practiced ease.

When everyone was finished I fingered the pokeballs on my belt, the seven that I always carried with me everywhere. My carry amount had been raised along with Ash's not too long ago to 10 each. We had both decided that it would be best not to carry that amount with us when we left to go on our new journey.

Ash had decided that he was going to keep Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Cyndaquil who were all eager to go to Sinnoh. Pikachu was his oldest friend so of course he was going to be going with Ash but Bulbasaur had abandoned his pride and all but begged Ash to let him go. Ash had hated to see his proud Bulbasaur beg him to leave the Corral for the first time in a long time.

Cyndaquil was in the same boat as Bulbasaur was, which didn't really surprise me. He was as proud as Bulbasaur was and he is very stubborn. Cyndaquil reminds me of Ash in so many ways that it isn't even funny.

I on the other hand have my starter like Ash, but she is special. She is a shiny Ninetails who has stuck with me through everything. Ra is one of the strongest of her race and she is damn well proud of it. It amuses me to see male Ninetails try to get her attention when its all on Ash's Charizard, even though he acts as if she doesn't exist at times. Ra is very stubborn just like me though.

Then there is my Espeon, nicknamed Saikou. He is very quiet and refuses to listen to anyone but me. He is the second Psychic on my team and is one of the strongest alongside my starter. I had saved him from a poacher who wanted to use him for her gain and it had really pissed me off to the extreme. Around his neck are the scars from the collar that shocked him every time he had tried to escape it or use and attack. To this day he is my most loyal Pokemon along with Ra.

The last that is coming with me is Ampharos, who likes to be called Rai. He is very quiet and likes to study his surroundings. When angered he is as bad as Charizard who, arguably, is Ash's strongest pokemon along with Pikachu and Sceptile. Ampharos was someone who I caught at the beginning of my journey in Johto. I had seen him working on his Thunderbolt attack one day and had decided that he would be a great addition to my team.

There was also one last member of my team that I never let anyone but Ash, Maman and Delia know about. He was strong, stronger than Saikou and a better psychic that I barely ever use. I almost never have him in my team but its time to allow him to go out and see how a trainer battles. At this time though, he is out scouting Sinnoh for Ash and I. He is supposed to be back tomorrow though, in time for us to leave.

I was shaken out of my musings by the sound of Ash growling under his breath. His Aura was suffocating in a warm kind of way, with how protective it felt. Standing up I walked over to the counter in the kitchen and saw him and Gary fighting with each other. My eyes narrowed before I hurried back upstairs and grabbed my brown lace up boots that I had worn during my last journey. After that I grabbed my pokemon egg in my arms before hurrying downstairs with Ra at my side and out the door.

Gary was staring Ash down angrily as Umbreon curled around his legs protectively. Pikachu was sitting on Ash's shoulder with his cheeks sparking angrily. I hurried over to Ash's side hugging the egg in my arms tight to my chest worriedly. Gary spared at look at me and the anger in his eyes sharpened as Ash pushed me behind him protectively. I couldn't tell what was going on but I knew that it was going to be trouble…

-Ash

I pushed Rin behind me protectively as Gary glared at her. The egg in her arms was pressed against my back as she looked over my shoulder. A flash of light from her belt told me that the last of her two Pokemon had released themselves as I felt Ra wrap her ninetails around both of our legs protectively.

"What Gary?" I demanded after a strenuous silence.

"Battle me now." he growled staring at Rin over my shoulder.

I blinked, shocked as Rin stepped out from behind me and to my side. There was a hard glare in her red-pink eyes as she hugged her egg tightly. Rai was standing at my left with his arms crossed across his chest, his tail high in the air aggressively. Saikou was pressed against Rin's side as he hissed at the Umbreon that was sat at Gary's feet his with a superior air of arrogance.

A smirk crossed my lips as I reached down to stroke a pokeball that was attached to my belt. I felt it shake in anticipation as I stared down Gary. Rin doesn't know about her but she is going to here soon.

"Lets go to the back yard." Rin said seriously. "Maman will kill us if we destroy her flowers."

I flinched, along with Gary as the thought of Pyroar coming after us because we hurt the flowers. Rin smirked, before leading us to the spacious back yard where all of Rin's and my own practice battles take place, also where we practice with our pokemon. Gary's eyes were wide as he looked around before we made it to the area where all the battles usually took place. I went over to my usual spot and watched as Gary hesitantly took the spot across from me.

Rin stepped over to the announcer's area and raised her arms as she said "This will be a three on three battle. In the blue corner we have the Challenger Gary Oak. In the red corner we have Ash Ketchum. The first to lose all of his pokemon is the loser."

Gary and I both nodded to the rules as I looked down at my trainers belt quietly. A smirk flitted across my lips as Rin lowered her arms with a command of "Trainers release your first pokemon." Gary nodded to his Umbreon and the eeveelution jumped onto the field with a glare.

"Pikachu." I murmured and he jumped off my shoulder.

His cheeks sparked as he stared down his opponent angrily. Umbreon shifted forward crouching down as he awaited the call for the match to begin.

"Begin!" Rin called.

"Pikachu Thunderbolt." I snapped automatically.

He nodded and launched a weaker than normal Thunderbolt to assess his opponents strength. Umbreon growled before dodging without prompting bringing a smirk to my face. Pikachu jumped up over Umbreon who had charged him with a Tackle attack, something that Pikachu easily dodged with his superior speed.

"Umbreon use Dark Pulse." Gary ordered staring down his pokemon.

Umbreon growled his approval before launching the attack at the quick mouse pokemon who just jumped over the attack. Umbreon growled angrily and ran forward with his fangs bared at Pikachu.

"Bite." rang across from Gary's side of the field.

Umbreon let out a growl before running at Pikachu who had landed on the ground. His jaw snapped around Pikachu's arm and he let out a soft growl in pain.

"Iron Tail to escape." I commanded softly.

Pikachu nodded with a soft growl and hit Umbreon in his head causing him to release Pikachu. I smirked darkly as Pikachu jumped away from Umbreon growling softly. I tapped my foot three times on the ground and Pikachu nodded slightly before using Quick Attack and hit Umbreon who howled in anger.

I chuckled softly and said "Use ThunderBolt and Quick Attack combined."

Pikachu ran off using the combo as we had trained it. I didn't want to say the actual name of the move just yet because I didn't want Gary to know that Pikachu knows Volt Tackle, one of the strongest electric type moves known to man that a regular pokemon could learn. Umbreon growled as it was hit and I could tell that it took some major damage.

"Umbreon use Dark Pulse." Gary said as a last resort move, though his voice was desperate.

"Dodge Pikachu." I ordered automatically.

Pikachu ran at Umbreon and jumped over the attack before jumping onto his back.

"Use Thunder." I said decisively.

"Shake it off Umbreon!" Gary yelled desperately.

Pikachu held fast though and took in the needed energy for the attack. Umbreon ran in circles trying to shake off Pikachu as he finally launched his Thunder attack. Umbreon howled as he collapsed with swirls for eyes.

"Umbreon is unable to battle." Rin said. "Round one goes to Ash and Pikachu. Trainer release your next pokemon."

Pikachu ran back to my side as Gary ran out onto the field and pulled Umbreon into his arms. I watched as he placed a kiss on the top of his head before returning Umbreon. He stood up with his bags covering his eyes before his head snapped up and he glared at me and grabbed a pokeball from his belt.

"Go Electivire." Gary growled angrily.

-Rin

I hugged my egg tightly as I looked between the two boys that I had grown up with worriedly. An explosion sounded in the distance making me turn around worriedly. Fire was floating into the air from Professor Oak's lab and I started running before either of the boys did. They caught up to me quickly though with Electivire running right behind them.

When we made it to the lab we saw the Team Rocket Rebels, much to my horror. Pokemon were running from the Rebels trying to stay safe. I waved down Maman's Pyroar and she landed at my side growling angrily.

"Itsuki use Flame Burst." I said angrily.

She roared as Ash and Gary both took off in fits of anger and sent out their own Pokemon. I allowed my team to be released and watched as they all took off, not needing my help at all. Pyroar was wrapped around me as the Rebels scurried to get away from the Flame Burst that was heading at them. They turned and glared at me as I hugged my egg tightly in my arms.

"Itsuki now use Extreme Speed." I ordered softly as I made sure that I was a safe distance from Pyroar and the Rebels.

She growled and took off hitting the Ekans, Koffings, and even a few Golbats along the way. They all fell in a dead faint to the ground as the Rebels all stared wide eyed scared. They slowly started to back away from Pyroar who had slowly returned to my side.

"Thunder Wave." Ash's voice rang from behind the Rebels.

The attack hit them causing them to become paralyzed and fell to the ground with grunts. A small smirk made its way over my lips before shaking my head. The boys came over with Saikou psychically lifting other Rebels behind them. He had a smug look on his face which made me grin, amused.

"Is that all of them?" I asked.

"Yeah thats all of them." Gary said nodding.

I nodded and pulled out my Pokenav and called Officer Jenny quickly. After talking to her I was surprised to see that the sun was already setting down for the night. I could see that the boy's eyes had widened also in shock as well as they turned to stare at the sun. I shivered as a cool breeze swept past us and noticed Ash walk over to me.

He took off his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders making me smile at him gratefully. He nodded and wrapped an arm around my shoulders before he turned his gaze to the Rebels who had started to wake back up.

"Hypnosis Saikou." I said softly and he growled his confirmation before using the attack.

I smiled as we waited and leaned against the guy I considered to be a brother. When Officer Jenny finally arrived Maman, Aunt Delia and Professor Oak had come running up the way to where we were. Professor Oak was fussing over Gary as I allowed Maman to fuss over me. Ash was being fussed over by Aunt Delia which made me amused.

I took comfort in the arms wrapped around me and rested my head on Maman's shoulder tiredly. My Pokemon all approached us and pressed their noses to the pokeballs on my belt as they all yawned tiredly. My egg was cradled in my arms and between Maman's and my own bodies. The police finally had all of the Rebels in their cars as a limo pulled up. My eyes light up as I escaped my Maman's hold and ran over as my Uncle stepped out.

"Uncle Giovanni." I chirped excitedly.

A small smile made its way onto his otherwise emotionless face as he wrapped his arms around me in a hug. I relaxed into his strong chest and buried my face in his shoulder, taking in the familiar scent of his cologne and the smell of Persian's fur. A small chuckle escaped my Uncle as I felt him pat the top of my head and looked up at him in some confusion.

"Ciao mia bella nipote*1." Uncle murmured in greeting, making me smile at the Italian that slipped from him.

"Ciao Zio*2." I chirped happily.

I pulled away as a throat cleared behind me and turned around raising an eyebrow at the police who were staring at my Zio cautiously. I was automatically defensive of the only man that was ever almost a father to me and felt Zio wrap his arms around me calmingly. Sighing I allowed myself to relax back into my Zio happily.

"Lets go back to the house." I heard Maman suggest softly.

"Lets." Aunt Delia sighed.

Zio started to lead us away when I heard someone running up behind us. I looked over my shoulder confused and found myself locking eyes with Gary. He was staring at us in confusion but also in shock. I smirked at him as Ash walked up to my side and said nothing.

"I want a rematch soon." Gary yelled as we walked.

Ash raised a hand in approval as we walked away. I could feel Gary staring at our backs as we walked and cuddled into my Zio's side happily. He was strong, in that silent way that brought a person comfort in a way most people wouldn't understand. I was happy to have him as a protector though, so was Ash.

When we made it back to the house Uncle James and Aunt Jessie were inside making me smile widely. We had acted a lot over the years, acting like we hated each other, Ash included. Ash and I were close to our surrogate Aunt and Uncle and they helped Zio protect us at every turn.

"Well brats aren't you going to hug us?" Jessie asked raising an auburn eyebrow at us making me crack a grin.

I jumped over and pulled her into a tight hug and buried my face in her shoulder. Her arms wrapped around me tightly and I felt her bury her face in the top of my head. A shaky sigh escaped her as I relaxed in my Aunt's arms tiredly.

"Well then I think we should talk." Zio stated getting my attention immediately.

I pulled away from my Aunt and turned to face Zio with a raised eyebrow. What could he mean I thought confused as Ash made his way to my side. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders as Aunt Jessie and Uncle James stepped up to Zio's sides.

"You guys are leaving for Sinnoh tomorrow right?" Zio asked.

"Yeah why?" Ash asked confused, with me nodding in agreement to his sentiment.

Zio just reached into his pockets and pulled out two pokeballs and held his hands out to us. I could feel my eyebrows raise in confusion as I shook off Ash. I took the one that felt fight to me, the one that was in his right palm and saw a smirk cross his lips. Ash took the one from his left and held it in his hands cautiously as Pikachu ran down his arm and sniffed the ball with a coo of his name.

"Well go ahead and release them." Zio said smirking. "You guys said you wanted to try out contests so these should help you two out."

We nodded and threw the balls in the air and a flash of light accompanied the released pokemon making Ash and I both cover our eyes from the flash. What we saw standing in front of us shocked us both.
