Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or the concept of Moemon.
Ash and his friends were taking a break in the meadow. They were watching as Pia, Es and Petal were playing with a Shiny Togepi. She wore a white shirt and white shorts, with blue and red triangles all over them. She had pink hair spiked up in a crown, and black eyes. "I didn't expect Chica to already have been close to hatching." Ash said. Chica was the name Serena gave the Shiny Togepi.
"None of us did. That's why it was so surprising." Serena said.
"Not to mention that Chica ended up being Shiny as well." Laby added.
"I wonder if my egg is close to hatching." Misty wondered as she looked at her egg.
Ash shrugged. "Who knows? Just remember to take good care of it." He then sensed something approaching them from behind and turned to see a Moemon approach from the bushes. She wore a brown shirt and brown skirt, and had long sleeves that resembled wings. She had brown hair tied behind her in a messy ponytail that spread out in the back, and golden eyes. She held a long sword at her waist, the sheath colored white and the hilt white and split at the end, with two green tips resembling a leak.
"A Farfetch'd." Brock identified. "I heard rumors that they lived in this area."
"Are you a wild Moemon?" Tomo asked.
"I am now." Farfetch'd replied, frowning.
"You had a trainer?" Ash asked. "Did something happen to them?"
"I dealt with him. He no longer controls me."
"Oh?" Ash narrowed his eyes. His friends could feel the atmosphere becoming tense.
Farfetch'd sighed. "You're probably misunderstanding. You see, when my old trainer caught me, he immediately judged me as weak because of how injured I was when he found me." She explained.
"All wild Moemon start off weak when captured, but that's why we have trainers to help us grow stronger." Es replied. "Did your trainer gave me any training?"
Farfetch'd frowned. "No. None at all."
Pia was surprised by that. "He didn't train you at all."
"He considered me too weak to be trained. And since I was his only Moemon, he thought he wouldn't be able to catch any more because of how weak he thought I was."
"What!?" Ash asked angrily. "That has got to be the most despicable thing I've heard!"
"He was despicable," Farfetch'd agreed, "and he dropped to pathetic when he decided to steal Moemon from other trainers to make a living." She could see the gang's angry faces when they heard that, except for Chica, who seemed lost and confused. "I refused to stay under such a pathetic human any longer, so after the fifth-or-so trainer, I did the most reasonable thing to do."
"What did you do to him?" Misty asked.
"I ratted him out." Farfetch'd answered. "There was a police station in the area, so I told the human there where he was hiding."
"So, he's in jail, now?" Pia finished, smirking. "Serves him right for stealing."
"Indeed." Farfetch'd nodded. "Since then, I've decided to fight every trainer that passes by to prove my strength." She drew her sword and pointed it at the gang. "And that is why I am here! I challenge you to a battle!"
"I see." Ash said, and then smirked. "I accept your challenge, Farfetch'd! Pina, I choose you!" He sent out Pina to battle.
"Let's go!" Pina smirked.
"Very well." Farfetch'd said. "First Impression!" She immediately struck Pina, knocking her back. She then took a sword stance, and then slashed the air, sending a slash wave of wind at Pina.
"Air Slash!" Ash identified the move. "Pina, counter with yours!" Pina's wings glowed as she flapped them hard, sending her own Air Slash to counter Farfetch'd's. She then flew into the air and dove down in an Aerial Ace as Farfetch'd met with the same attack.
"Leaf Blade!" Farfetch'd's sword glowed with green energy as she slashed Pina, hitting her across the chest. Pina flinched as the attack hit, but stayed strong and countered with Twister, knocking her into the air, but Farfetch'd recovered and slashed the air three times, sending blades of wind with each slash.
"Dodge the Air Cutter!" Ash commanded, having identified the move. Pina flew around to avoid the blades, and then the later ones that came after.
"Try to dodge this!" Farfetch'd exclaimed, sending a Swift at Pina.
"I won't." Pina smirked. "Heat Wave!" She breathed out hot air that overpowered the Swift as Farfetch'd quickly used Ominous Wind to cancel it out as she landed.
"You are good." Farfetch'd said, complimenting Pina.
"Same to you." Pina said, returning the favor. "Honestly, I don't know why your old trainer would call you weak."
"Humans have poor judgement skills." Farfetch'd said, frowning. "Though, don't forget this is a battle."
"I know. No holding back!" Suddenly, Pina glowed a bright light as she evolved into her final form. She wore a tan and brown shirt and a tan and brown skirt, with blonde and red hair down to her back, brown eyes and brown wings.
"Looks like Pina evolved." Ash smiled, proud of his Moemon.
"Brave Bird!" Pina's body flared as she flew at Farfetch'd, who countered with her own Brave Bird.
"Fury Cutter!" Farfetch'd slashed Pina with her sword, doing little damage.
"Pina, get back!" Ash warned as Pina took a second Fury Cutter. "Fury Cutter grows in power the more it's used in succession!"
Pina quickly dodged away from the third Fury Cutter. "That would've been bad." She said. She then used Hurricane to knock Farfetch'd into the air, but Farfetch'd broke free by created ethereal blades of energy and spinning them in the opposite direction to cancel out the Hurricane.
"That was Swords Dance!" Brock identified the move Farfetch'd used with surprise. "That's a move that greatly raises a Moemon's attack power, but I've never seen it used to cancel attacks!"
'Farfetch'd really is an amazing Moemon.' Ash thought.
"Brave Bird!" The two bird Moemon slammed into each other one last time in an explosion of power. She smoke then revealed both Pina and Farfetch'd lying on the ground, exhausted.
"That's it!" Pia declared, deciding to be the referee. "This battle is a draw!"
Ash helped Pina stand back up while Es helped Farfetch'd. "You were awesome, Pina." Ash praised his Flying-type. "You too, Farfetch'd. Any trainer would be proud to have a strong Moemon like you."
"Thank you." Farfetch'd thanked Ash, blushing at his praise. "That's the first time a human praised me for my fighting abilities. Congratulation on your evolution, by the way."
"Thanks." Pina smiled. "Laby, can I see my data?" She then saw a digital screen form in the air with her data.

They are especially well liked due to their nobility and willingness to protect their trainer to the death. They will fight as hard as possible for their trainer, and will rarely, if ever, give up in a battle. They also have a large amount of pride.
"So, Pina doesn't know when to call quits." Pia noted.
"Wouldn't the same be said for all Moemon in battle?" Pia asked.
"Touché."
Ash couldn't help but let out a chuckle at his Moemon, and then he noticed Farfetch'd walk up to him. "What is it, Farfetch'd?"
"I can tell that you are a better trainer compared to my old one." Farfetch'd said. "If it is alright with you, I would like you to be my new master."
Ash smiled with acceptance. "Sure. I welcome any Moemon who wants to join." He held out a Moe Ball, and Farfetch'd tapped the center with her finger, allowing herself to be captured. Once the capture was complete, Ash called her back out. "Welcome to the team. I'll call you Faris, okay?"
"Very well, Master." Farfetch'd, now named Faris, nodded. She then noticed the screen change and show her data.

Info: Farfetch'd are very rare, due to their code of never showing weakness. They have been at odds with each other, and hunted each other to near extinction. However, groups of them still exist. They utilize their leeks as swords, and are powerful swordswomen. Their leek-sword is their life, and if they lose it, they will become twitchy and desperate. They are loyal to people who they see as stronger.
"Okay. So I should make it my top priority to find your sword if you lose it." Ash said to Faris.
"Of course." Faris nodded. "I won't be able to effectively battle for you without it."
"Is your sword really that important?" Chica asked.
"Indeed. Without my sword, not only do I become a coward, but I am unable to use more than half of my moves. It is like how it is important for an Oshawott to have their scalchop."
"I see."
With a new team member joining Ash, the gang continued their journey.
The gang was currently resting in a Moemon Center as Nurse Joy gave Misty's egg a checkup. Ash was talking to Professor Oak on the phone. "Well Ash, my boy, I can see that you are doing well on your journey." Oak said.
"Thanks, professor." Ash grinned. "How are all my Moemon doing?"
"Everyone is doing fine. I am impressed by the amount of Moemon you caught, and I can see that you are doing well in raising them."
After Ash finished talking to Professor Oak and the gang got their Moemon back, they were now discussing Misty's Egg. "So, what Moemon do you think you'll get?" Brock asked Misty.
"Most likely a Togepi, since we found this egg along with Chica's." Misty answered. "I don't mind having one. I think they're cute after seeing Chica for the first time."
The gang decided to go to a café for something to eat. Just then, Jessie and James, disguised as Egg Sellers, came up to them carrying a big basket full of fake eggs, some of them nearly identical to Misty's. "Hello there." Jessie greeted. "We're Egg Seller, and we were wondering if you were interested in buying our eggs."
"Yeah, no thanks." Ash frowned. "You're gonna have to do better than that, Team Rocket." Jessie and James were shocked that Ash found then out so easily, but that didn't stop their plan of stealing Misty's Egg. They threw the fake eggs at the gang, but Pia and Es caught them with Psychic, and then Ash fired an Aura Sphere at Meowth, who tried to swipe Misty's Egg unnoticed.
"How did you notice me!?" Meowth asked, shocked.
"Aura Sight." Ash simply answered. "Now send them flying with Psychic!" Pia and Es grabbed Team Rocket with their psychic powers and sent them flying into the air, out of sight.
Misty grabbed her Egg and checked on it. "It's okay." She sighed with relief, but then Misty's Ess started to glow. "It's hatching!" Her shout got the other's attention as they saw Misty's Egg hatch. As she suspected, her new Moemon was a Togepi. She wore a white shirt and white shorts, with red and blue triangles all over them. She had blonde hair spiked up in a crown, and black eyes. "Oh, you're so cute!" Misty squealed, hugging the Spiked Ball Moemon tightly. "I'm calling you Toki!" Just then, Team Rocket showed up again.
"The heck? How'd you get back here so quickly?" Pia asked with surprise.
"Because we're awesome." Meowth smirked.
"Now, hand over the Togepi." James demanded.
"No way!" Misty exclaimed angrily. "Cruela, Hydro Pump!" Cruela emerged from her Moe Ball and blasted Team Rocket with a pressurized water, sending them blasting off for the second time today.
"Well, overall, dealing with them today was simpler than it could've been." Ash sighed, and then smiled when he saw Toki affectionately hug Misty. Serena decided to introduce Toki to Chica, her big sister, and then two Togepi hugged.
Not long after Toki hatched, Ash was training with his Moemon. He switched Pina out with Vena to give her some training. Right now, Negia was firing an Air Slash at Ash, who blocked it with his Aura Shield. "How interesting." Negia mused. Before training started, she and Aeria found out that Ash was nothing like a normal human. Aeria had a feeling about it, considering he has Legendaries, but his Aura abilities as an Aura Guardian proved it.
Speaking of Aeria, the Aerodactyl was currently training with Pia. Ash wanted Aeria to learn fast moves to help with her speed, so he's having Pia teach her Agility. Once Aeria knows Agility, he feels that she could then learn Aerial Ace on her own, as that basically requires the Moemon to attack very fast.
Mea and Seira were sparring with Es and Vena. Vena jumped back to dodge Mea's Psychic, but got hit by Seira's Extreme Speed as she was punched away. Vena tried to stand back up, but ended falling to one knee.
"Vena, are you alright?" Es asked, using Protect to block Mea's Dark Pulse as she went to check on her teammate, who looked to be in pain. However, that's when she noticed something as she gasped. "Time out! Something's wrong with Vena!" She called. Mea and Seira ran up to Vena and checked on her. The others noticed this and stopped what they were doing, feeling that something was wrong.
"What's wrong with Vena?" Ash asked, worried about his Grass-type starter.
"Don't worry, Master. Nothing is wrong." Mea told him, giving a smile. "In fact, this is actually a good thing."
"It is?" Aeria asked.
"Look." Mea pointed at Vena's neck. Everyone noticed that her bulb was glowing. "See that? When a Bulbasaur's bulb is glowing, that means they are close to evolving."
"That means Vena is gonna evolve soon!" Pia exclaimed, smiling excitedly.
Seira nodded. "If I remember correctly, tonight is when all the Bulbasaur - wild and caught - partake in a special festival, where they perform a ritual to evolve." She told everyone. "The festival takes place in a hidden area called the Mysterious Garden, but the way to it changes every year. What's more, humans normally aren't allowed entry."
"Normally?" Tomo repeated with confusion.
"Only Aura Guardians are allowed into the Mysterious Garden, as it is protected by Celebi."
"Who's Celebi?" Tomo asked.
"A Mythical Moemon like myself." Mea answered.
"I see." Ash nodded in understanding.
That night, everyone was asleep except Vena, who was still outside of her Moe Ball. Ash decided to leave her out so that she could go to the festival to evolve, but right now she had a troubled look on her face. 'I don't know if I want to evolve.' She thought. Truth is that she thought Ash wouldn't love her anymore if she evolved.
"Is something wrong?" Ash asked, surprising her as she thought he was asleep.
"Master, you're awake?" Vena asked.
"I felt that you were troubled, so I woke up to ask what was wrong."
"How- Oh, right. Aura." Vena sighed. "I'm just... I don't feel like I want to evolve." She said sadly. "I'm afraid that...you won't love me anymore when I'm an Ivysaur." Ash stared at her, frowning, and then pulled her into a hug. "Wha-?" Vena yelped, not expecting it.
"Vena, why would you think I would stop loving you when you evolve?" Ash asked softly. "A lot of the others evolved, and I never stopped loving them, did I?" He looked at her in the eyes, smiling softly. "It doesn't matter to me what stage in your evolution you are. You are my Moemon...no, my girlfriend. I will always love you."
Vena was so moved by Ash's words that she started crying. He didn't view her and the others as possessions, but lovers. "Ash..." She spoke his name for the first time as she hugged him tightly, sobbing quietly into his chest. Pia and Es were also awake and heard everything Ash said, and were very happy to have him as their trainer
After a moment, Vena wiped her tears. "Are you feeling okay, now?" Ash asked.
"Yes." Vena nodded. "I'm ready to evolve."
Vena led Ash, Pia and Es to the Mysterious Garden. Due to being close to evolution, she knows the way to the garden. As they went on, they reached a point where they noticed a slight warping of the environment was happening as they walked further and further ahead. "We're here." Vena said. Ahead, Ash, Pia and Es saw a large number of Bulbasaur in a field that had one single oak tree in the center. As Vena went ahead to join the other Bulbasaur, all of them began to sing and chant in a way that Ash could barely make out.
"What are they saying?" Ash whispered in confusion.
Mea emerged from her Moe Ball to explain. "They are calling on the Legendary Grass Moemon to lend them strength to evolve. Some Moemon do this from all over the world, but it is kept a secret from everyone except those trusted enough to know."
"Wow. So Vena trusts me enough to let me see this." Ash said in awe.
Mea, however, shook her head. "No. The decision is up to the Legendary Pantheon Moemon who proceed over these things." She told him, and then gave him a serious look. "Ash, I'm telling you this because Aura Guardians and some other special humans are allowed to know the hidden secrets of Moemon. We can't just let anyone in on these things, it would lead to disaster."
"I understand." Ash nodded in understanding. "I'm honored to be allowed to see and know this."
Mea smiled. "You're the Chosen One. Of course you would be allowed to witness these things."
"Shh, it's starting." Pia whispered as they saw a large portal begin to form on the large tree. Out from it came a Mega Venusaur that seemingly radiated with power. She wore a blue dress, the skirt portion covered in leaves with flowers sprinkled across. She had leaves for shoulder guards, and long green hair down to her waist, a pink flower hat on her head. She had sparkling red eyes, and leaves wrapped around her wrists.
"A Mega Venusaur…" Laby gasped, making sure her voice was a whisper.
"She's one of the elders of this region." Mea said. "The other three are the final evolutions of the Starter Moemon of this region, permanently in their Mega Evolved forms due to their immense power."
"Now it is time for you all to ascend to the next phase of your lives." Mega Venusaur called out, her voice resounding all over the Mysterious Garden. "Now, evolve!"
"Evolve!" Vena and all the other Bulbasaur cried out, the bright glow of evolution taking them. However, Vena's glow was slightly brighter as they all evolved into Ivysaur. They wore blue dresses, and had green hair that reached down to their shoulders underneath their new hats, which were pink hats in the shape of buds, with leaves framing their hair, and they had red eyes.
"Girls..." Ash whispered. "Is it me, or did Vena glow brighter than the others."
"Is wasn't just you. I noticed it, too." Mea said. "And by the looks of it, so did the elder."
"Interesting." Mega Venusar said to herself. "The Festival is now finished. You may all go back to where you came from, however..." She pointed to Vena. "I wish to speak to you, personally."
Vena was surprised by this as the other Ivysaur glanced at her for a moment before leaving. After She and the elder were the only ones in the garden, save for Ash, Pia, Es and Mea, she walked up to the elder. "Is there something wrong, elder?" She asked.
Mega Venusaur smiled at her. "I can sense the power of Shaymin within you. It seems you have been granted the knowledge and power to use Seed Flare."
Vena was shocked by this. "I can use Seed Flare...?"
Mega Venusaur nodded. "The Gods have trusted you with an ancient move. Continue to become stronger and use it with care." A portal then appeared behind Mega Venusaur as she walked through, leaving the Mysterious Garden.
Vena was silent, absorbing the information given to her as she walked back to her trainer. "Wow. You look awesome, Vena." Ash complimented her new form.
"Thanks, Ash." Vena gave a small smile.
"So, what did the elder tell you?" Es asked. "Did it have to do with your evolution?"
Vena nodded. "While I evolved, one of the Mythical Moemon, Shaymin, blessed me with their power." She told them. "I'm now effectively stronger than normal Ivysaur, and am able to use the ancient move, Seed Flare."
Ash, Pia and Es were shocked by this. "You can use an ancient move!?" Pia repeated, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"So that's what that was." Mea mused, a wide smile on her face. "Laby, can we see Vena's data?" Laby replied by bringing up a digital screen that showed Vena's data.

Info: Ivysaur are even more shy than their pre-evolution, but on the flip side, are much more open sexually to their trainers. Ivysaur are well loved by trainers mainly for their different powders that can be used in both battles and sex. The petals on Ivysaur's buds release an incredibly good scent, and can be grounded to create an aphrodisiac.
"As she is now, Vena's strength is equivalent to a Lesser Legendary." Mea said.
"Wow..." Ash breathed out in amazement. He never thought his Moemon could be this strong.
Mea smiled. "Ash, as the Chosen One, you are trusted by the Legendary Moemon of the world." She told him. "We will help you in any way we can, even giving your Moemon our power so that they can help you." Ash could only nod, humbled by what he was just told.
Ash and his Moemon then reunited with the rest of the gang, telling them about Vena's evolution. They were all shocked and amazed that Vena is pretty much a Legendary now. "Ash, we knew you weren't a normal human, but it looks like you aren't the only one who isn't normal." Brock joked. Everyone else couldn't help but laugh, knowing it was true. The gang then continued their journey.
Chapter 14 DONE!
Now, there are a lot of things that probably raise alarm to you, so I will try to clarify them all.
While I personally like that his Starter Moemon can be strong without fully evolving, I will have them all fully evolve in this story.
I personally didn't like Keith very much, so I had Faris rat him out and send him to jail while Ash becomes her new trainer.
I said in an earlier chapter that I AM NOT TAKING NAME REQUESTS! Jesus, stop pestering me about who to name which Moemon what! I said that I planned the names ahead of time, and I am sticking with them.
And now for the elephant in the room.
I know I said that Pia and Es would be the only ones learning moves they aren't supposed to, but I ultimately decided "Fuck it. This is my story." However, I will try not to go too overboard with it.
I know Vena seems OP right now, but she's not. She is stronger, sure, but not invincible. Also, she won't be the only Moemon who will gain the blessing of a Legendary or Mythical Moemon. (You all already know Pia and Es will be getting one.) Besides, Ash is gonna need it with the shit he'll be getting into.
Now, I hope that's everything settled. Anyway, see you guys next chapter!
