(A/N: I don't own anything and read last chapter!)
"Come on lover boy. Say goodbye to the nice adults and let's get back to training and you can get back to catching new Pokémon."
"Yes dear." Ash quipped without missing a beat as he hugged her back briefly.
"You mean you two aren't going back to your regions? Don't you have trainers wanting to battle you both?" Delilah asked tilting her head curiously at them, causing them to smile at her warmly.
"My dad agreed to let me stay with Ash for his journey through Unova, he's watching the gym in my absence." Sabrina said kindly while Cynthia was actually smiling at someone other than Ash for once that anyone else knew.
"Wallas agreed to cover for me and let me know when there was someone ready to challenge me so that I could fly back there, battle them, and then fly back here to be with Ash and Sabrina." Cynthia explained with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Now come on lover boy didn't you want to get started on your journey here?" Sabrina asked nudging Ash who nodded rapidly in agreement.
"But Ash you don't know the region! You could get lost or hurt even with those two looking out for you." Delilah said worried as she fretted over her son, shooting a glare at Oak when he snickered.
"Well what if he had a local of the region in his group?" Juniper asked catching the look of disbelief and dejection on Ash's face.
"…Well that would be better cause then I'd know he wouldn't get lost…but he could still get very hurt!" Delilah said worried while Juniper laughed at this fear.
"Okay a local guider and bodyguard then. That's not hard for me to arrange, I do know a rather strong person who owes me a few favors and could look after him for you." Juniper offered while Ash merely exchanged looks with Oak who shook his head in the negative, Ash wasn't getting out of this no matter what he did. Cynthia and Sabrina merely smiled at each other slightly in amusement, it was cute to see Delilah getting so worked up and over protective of her son.
"…W-Well if they don't mind then I don't see a reason to say no…but I'd like to meet them first." Delilah said causing Juniper to nod.
"Of course. Let me go call her up now." Juniper said turning around and going back into her lab, presumably to call whoever Ash's 'bodyguard' will be.
"That's so kind of Professor Juniper…to go to all this trouble just because I'm protective of my Ashy." Delilah said smiling while Ash groaned at the sound of his 'nickname' from his mom and Sabrina and Cynthia snickered.
"Professor Juniper has a big heart." A new voice said as a girl with blond hair walked over to them smiling widely.
"Oh hello. I don't believe I've met you before." Oak said as everyone turned and looked at the new arrival, she was about Ash's age with curly blond hair, deep blue eyes, and wearing a green beanie on her head.
"Probably not. You must be Professor Oak, Professor Juniper talks about you and your discoveries a lot. That means that the worried mother here must be Miss Ketchum, I've been hearing a lot about you too since Professor Juniper learned you were coming. That means that you must be…" The mystery girl trailed off as she caught sight of Ash, her eyes widening.
"Oh wow! You're Ash Ketchum! I've seen all of your adventures on the TV, usually with Professors Juniper and Fennel, and I've even seen quite a few of your battles. Do you mind giving me an autograph?" The girl asked her eyes turning into stars as she dug around in a bag before holding out a pad of paper and a pen. During all of this Cynthia and Sabrina were checking over the new girl in amusement while Ash was laughing nervously, god he hoped she wasn't a rapid fan girl.
"Haha. Sure, I don't get requests for autographs much." Ash said smiling as he took the proffered items and signed the paper, making sure to actually write neatly for the girl.
"Oh wow thanks! Um…do you mind if I get a paw print from your Pikachu too? My starter, Oshwatt, well actually he's a Samurott now, but anyway he adores your Pikachu and always watches the battles and adventures whenever Pikachu's in them." The girl asked causing Pikachu to blink and nod, Sabrina and Cynthia were now snickering alongside Oak at the girl while Delilah was merely watching curiously.
"Um sure. Pikachu doesn't seem to mind do ya buddy?" Ash asked looking at his Pikachu who shook his head with a 'Pika' while the girl nearly squealed as she offered an ink pad and the notebook to Pikachu. Pikachu placed his paw in the ink before stamping it onto the paper right next to Ash's name, causing the girl to actually squeal as she hugged the pad of paper.
"I see you met Ash already, Bianca." Professor Juniper said her voice colored in amusement as she exited her lab in time to watch Pikachu 'sign' the paper.
"Mou…Professor why didn't you tell me that the Ash coming to visit you during the conference was the Ash Ketchum?" The girl, Bianca, asked pouting at the professor who laughed at her.
"Cause if I did you would have been in a tizzy trying to make yourself look perfect and trying to make the town, and heck probably the whole region, look like something out of a movie." Juniper teased causing Bianca to flush darkly and sneak a glance at Ash who looked kinda embarrassed by that as well.
"Anyways. I see you all have met Bianca although I don't think she introduced herself yet so allow me." Juniper said smiling fondly at the young blond as she walked over and gave the girl a half hug.
"Everyone this is my Research Assistant and adoptive daughter Bianca Juniper-Fennel."
