"Aura speaking" (Only Aura wielders and Pokémon like Lucario can understand it)
Andy and Kate were sitting leisurely outside on the porch while Fred was training his team with Gardevoir. Needless to say, he lost. It was a peaceful day, and close to the ninth month of Kate's pregnancy. Andy, Gardevoir, and Fred were ready to spring into action at any time, and they thanked the gods they believed in that they were prepared.
Andy heard Kate grunt in pain and rushed her inside on a bed of Aura, and set her on a bed.
"Pain… Hurts…" Kate managed, and stared right at Andy. "Get Gardevoir and Fred NOW!" She ordered, and Andy obeyed. He ran out the door where Fred and Gardevoir were standing. Fred had Blastoise out, but he knew what was going to happen.
"Fred, make Blastoise generate cold water. Gardevoir, get in here." Andy started barking orders to the rest of the Pokémon, and ran to collect Oran Berries he had stashed away. Lucario helped Andy gather other essentials; one of which was a berry Andy discovered that had pain-numbing effects. Andy rushed back in the house with the items, and heard Kate groan in pain again.
"Six minutes." Gardevoir said, and gestured the Aura wielder and his Aura Pokémon over to where Kate was quote-unquote resting. Gardevoir was telepathically speaking with Kate while Fred came in with the water that Blastoise generated.
"Master, I suggest grinding the berries in a poultice." Lucario suggested, and Andy agreed.
"Not a bad idea, my friend." Andy said, and started grinding the berries, but was stopped when Kate took his hand and squeezed roughly and let out another groan of pain.
"Four minutes. This is going to be a fast labor." Gardevoir dryly observed.
"Everyone leave… Except Gardevoir…" Kate huffed between breaths, and everyone left the room except Andy. "I said EVERYONE!" And with that, Andy reluctantly agreed.
Andy sat down on a couch beside Fred who patted his back.
"Don't worry man, she'll be fine." Fred assured, but got little response from Andy. "Andy, are you alright?" Fred asked as Andy dropped his head.
"I know she'll be fine." Andy lied to himself. 'Our kid has Aura wielding and psychic abilities in their blood.' Andy thought to himself, and got a response from Gallade.
"So your kid will be able to fend for their self? Not exactly a worry most parents have." Gallade joked, but received an Aura Sphere lazily shot by Andy.
"Not the time for jokes, Gallade." Andy said angrily. Andy wasn't in the mood for Gallade's joking attitude. Andy got up and started to break a boulder with his Aura powered fist, and received an unnecessary offer from Fred.
"I have cigarettes, if you want them." Fred said loudly, intent of keeping Andy from destroying the village.
"I don't need that crap," Andy started after breaking the boulder, "I just feel useless in this situation. I mean, I want to be in there-!" Andy was interrupted by the sound of… crying. A baby's crying. "Dear Mew…" Andy mumbled, and ran inside, and into the room where Kate was holding a baby.
"Shh, he's sleeping." Kate whispered, and sent Andy an image of their son via telepathy. He was white, with red eyes and dark brown hair. Kate had him wrapped in a blanket that Charizard warmed not ten minutes ago.
"What do you think we should name him?" Andy asked softly as he inspected his son. He was close to breaking down in a heap of emotion, but managed to keep his composure. He sensed an abundance of Aura, and thought he was going to be a wielder, but Kate read his thoughts.
"He has a strong mind as well." She said softly. "We need a name for him."
Andy adopted a concentrating look and came to with an idea. "How about Aaron?" Andy asked, and Kate nodded. She knew why Andy would want to name him Aaron.
"Welcome to the world Aaron." Kate said, and held her son close.

Aaron is now about a year old, and easily demonstrates his Aura and psychic capabilities. He could already walk, and took a liking to chasing the most bloodthirsty being on the island.
"Aaron, what are you doing to poor Raichu?" Andy asked as Aaron shot a weak Aura wave at the orange rat. Aaron quickly jumped on the electric rodent and hung on by his neck.
"Mine!" Aaron squealed as Raichu reluctantly let him win.
Raichu complained to Andy, who only laughed at him.
"No Raichu, you can't hurt Aaron." Andy said with some flame to his voice. Andy then turned to Fred, and pointed him in Aaron's direction. "Make sure Raichu doesn't get any ideas while I go meditate."
"No problem man." Fred replied, and let Andy go do his meditation. Soon after, Kate went in the same direction and claimed she was going to meditate. 'I can't babysit two children… Dear Arceus, why did I even come to this island?' Fred asked himself, and thought he knew what they were doing.

Andy was sitting on a large rock flat, and generated Aura Spheres that circled around him as he waited for Kate. Fred probably had his suspicions, but was most likely wrong on all his guesses. What Kate and Andy were about to do was going to test their limits; in both tolerance and power.
"Andy, I'm here." Kate said, causing Andy to dispel the rapidly moving Aura Spheres. Andy got up and kissed his 'partner' for lack of a better term on the cheek, and moved to one end of the flat.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Andy asked, and received a nod.
"You have no idea how long I've waited to do this." Kate said in a cynical voice that made Andy shudder.
'Why the sexy voice?' Andy thought to himself. He shook his head free of merciful thoughts. "Ladies first." He said simply, and sensed Kate running towards him. Kate prepared a punch, and threw it at Andy, who dodged quickly. She tried kicking, but Andy grabbed her foot and tossed her to the trees.
"I need to improve my hand-to-hand, don't I?" Kate asked, and Andy nodded silently. Kate started her onslaught of physical strikes, but missed Andy entirely.
Andy decided to take the offensive, and elbowed Kate in the ribs, knocking her back in the process.
The couple were training their hand-to-hand skills without the use of advanced powers in case something went haywire during the upcoming war. And by the looks of it, Kate needs more training, seeing as how Andy kneed her gut with ease.
"Do you want to continue?" Andy asked as he heard Kate's hands hit the ground. He retracted his Aura sense a while ago, and still managed to get Kate on the ground.
"Yeah, I can take whatever you throw at me." Kate said, and saw Andy laughing under his breath. "What's so-?" Kate started, but was hit in the head with an eraser. Another voice roared with laughter, and Andy expanded his Aura to find Fred with Aaron in his arms.
"I see you still remember that from years ago!" Andy roared, still laughing. Fred wiped a tear from his eye and nodded.
"Yes, and I walked here at the perfect moment." Fred said, his voice becoming immediately serious. "There are Army ships headed this way. Take your child and hide; I'll fight them off." Fred grabbed one of his Pokeballs as soon as Aaron floated down and started walking towards his dad. "And they look Navy." Fred warned, and ran to the direction of the port.
"Kate, contact Gardevoir and have her bring my whole team to the port." Andy ordered. Maybe the war is starting early.
"What should I do now?" Kate asked as she picked up Aaron.
"You don't have a Pokémon team, so take Aaron and escape to Vermillion." Andy ordered. He was intent on slaughtering every single Army member on the fleet, and didn't want his child or who he considered his wife to see his brutality.
"But I'm psychic!" Kate argued, but received Andy's Dead Stare.
"I don't want you or Aaron to see what I'm going to do." Andy said, and ran to the port where he saw his team, and Fred's, along with numerous wild Pokémon that held Andy, Kate, and Fred in high regard.
"I see you plan of fighting." Fred observed.
"You are too correct, old friend." Andy said with a bloodthirsty smile. He then turned to the gathering of Pokémon; caught and wild alike. "I cannot micro-manage you all, so you must use your better judgment in this battle." The Pokémon roared in excitement. Andy walked over to Gardevoir and Gyarados and gave them odd looking stones to hold. "Use the power within these stones wisely."

One of the ships halted at the side of the island, and a man with an alien, yet familiar Aura stepped down to the shore, followed by Army soldiers. The man was in his early forties, and was in a cloak with drawings of the Old Gods on it.
"State your business here, outsider." Andy ordered, and generated the Aura technique: Blood hammer.
"We are starting a war with the filthy non-believers." That voice… Andy recognized it as a piece of his history. Long, forgotten, and untouched for years. "We know who you are, Andrew Ketchum." The man ordered, and held out a dark blue Aura Sphere.
"Why should I?" Andy demanded, and received a laugh… A laugh far too familiar for it to be coincidence.
"Because, Andrew Ketchum," The man started, and lifted an Aura barrier that uncovered his face from Andy's senses, "I'm your dad."
/AUTHOR'S NOTE/ HOLY JESUS THUNDERIN LORD! (Newfoundlander saying.) I pulled the old Star Wars bit there! So Ash lost his sanity soon after Andy was pronounced dead, joined the Army of the Old Gods, and is now in charge of a whole Navy fleet. Kill me if you want, but I'm a sadistic bastard that enjoys putting his characters through heavy psychological trauma. Well, review what you want to see in the next chapter!
