Chapter 50

Johto Here We Come!

Next Day

Ash was getting ready for his trip to Johto training his powers along with Tomo at Prof. Oak's Lab, hoping to unlock the power to change into a pokemon on his own and not just merge with them, when Ash and Tomo's father Steven came running over "Dad? What are you doing here?" asked Ash as he thought his father was off in the Almia Region "Your mother told me you're heading to Johto soon and I wanted to see you two before you went" answered Steven "Oh, well that's great! I wasn't planing on heading out for a few more days" said Ash happily "Yeah! Dad's home!" cried Tomo as he came running over and gave Steven a big hug

"Excuse me" said an elderly voice "Grandfather? What are you doing here?" asked Steven in shock "Dad who's that?" asked Ash "Your Great Grandfather Franklin Ketchem, the head of the family" answered Steven "Hohohoho just call me Frank" chuckled Frank "Grandpa, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be back at the castle?" asked Steven again "Normaly yes, but I came here to see your two children, it's come to my attention that one of them has done something of major importance" answered Frank "And you know what that means in our family"

"You mean you're going to knight Ash?!" asked Steven in shock "Indeed, he is the Chosen One after all" answered Frank with a chuckle "So that means as the head of the family and the fact Ash did something major I am going to make him a full guardian" "Really?" asked Ash "Well of course" replied Frank "You still might be training, but since when have Aura Guardians ever stopped training" "He, I forgot about that" said Ash

So Ash called over all his pokemon as well did Tomo and Frank, with some help from lugia, knighted Ash and declared that he was a full fledged Aura Guardian "Now Ash I have something for you" said Frank as he pulled out an old tome "What is that?" asked Ash "This holds all the knowledge of aura that our family has" answered Frank "Why are you giving it to me?" asked Ash "As the first true Aura Guardian since my father it is your duty to safeguard our secretes" answered Frank "That's a big responsibility to give an eleven year old" noted Steven

"That as it may, I must tell you Ash isn't the only one who can fully use aura" said Frank "One of his cousins also has the power, but has fallen into the darkness" "What do you mean fallen into the darkness?" asked Steven "While he hasn't killed anyone, yet, he's gone and accepted help from dark sources to increase his own power so that he could out shine Ash" answered Frank "Can he be saved?" asked Ash "Yes, it is not to late, but no one knows where he is" answered Frank "So saving him will be rather hard until he's found" "Where was he last seen?" asked Steven

"Last I heard he was in the Fiorre Region, but that was over two months ago" answered Frank "But in any case I wish you luck on your journey, I must get back home" "It was nice to see you again grandfather" said Steven "But why don't you stay with us for the night?" "I would, but I have a naming ceremony to get to" replied Frank

So Ash became a full fledged Aura Guardian and him and his family had a big party celebrating it

Three Days Latter

After Ash's great grandfather handed over the tome that held all the family secrets he poured over it and found a part that would help him in his endeavor to gain the power to turn himself into a pokemon and back at will and read it thoroughly "Mmmm if I'm not mistaken my two pokemon should be having their eggs today, I should head over and check to see how they are doing" said Ash when he was done reading the section that held answers

Ash went over to were his two charizards had made their nest and found that they already had their five eggs "Is everything alright?" asked Ash 'Yep, we didn't have any complications' answered charizard 'Here Ash our first born' said Ash's other charizard as she handed over a slightly larger egg "Thanks, don't worry about a thing, I will take excellent care of him" said Ash "But now I need to go check on espeon and vaporeon and see how they are doing" 'I heard what those two put ya threw, shame on them' said both of Ash's charizards

Ash quickly made his way to his office where his two eeveelutions were staying "Ah Ash, good news they have yet to have their egg" said Nurse Joy "Thanks, I'm going to go change and wash up" said Ash

Ash quickly changed into his doctor's outfit and found that espeon was close to laying her egg "How is everything?" asked Ash 'Fine so far' answered espeon 'I can't wait to see our egg' added vaporeon excitedly "Well let me make sure everything is in order real quick" said Ash "Oh, and both charizards say shame on you two" 'He, yeah we've been getting that a lot since the others heard about what we had you do for us' replied an embarrassed vaporeon

"Mmmm" said Ash in a worryingly manner as he felt espeon's stomach 'Is something the matter?' asked vaporeon with worry "Sadly yes, the egg is to big to come out the normal way and if it did, espeon might not make it" answered Ash 'Huh! So what are you going to do?!' asked espeon in shock and fear "I'm going to have to cut the egg out, but I can only numb the pain, not put you out as it would be bad for the egg" answered Ash

Vaporen promptly fainted and espeon grew very scared 'This is what our punishment for making you help us mate isn't it' whined espeon "I don't know about that, but I got to get everything ready to preform a C Section right away" said Ash "Nurse Joy, go fetch chansey I'm going to need the both of you to help me preform a C Section on espeon, the egg is to large for her to lay it without risk to her own life" "Right away" replied Nurse Joy as she went out calling for Ash's chansey

Nurse Joy quickly returned with chansey and found that Ash had already changed into his scrubs and had everything just about ready "Go get scrubbed up quickly, espeon isn't in any immediate danger, but the faster we get this done the better" said Ash "Of course" complied Nurse Joy as she went to get scrubbed up

After an hour Ash successfully extracted the egg and sewed up espeon and told her and vaporeon that they were going to have twins 'No wonder the egg's so big' said vaporeon as he snuggled the egg 'Am I going to still be able to have more kids?' asked espeon "Not for a while, but yeah" answered Ash who quickly added "But I don't want you two to try to have any more for at least a year for what you had me do for you two"

The day after Ash had to preform a C Section on his espeon Ash was all ready to head out to Johto with his friends Misty, Brock and Serena, as well as his younger brother Tomo "I can't wait for Johto!" said Misty with excitement "Me either, so many new pokemon to see" added Brock "I wounder what kind of adventures we'll have" finished Serena "Well there is one place I can't wait to return to" said Ash "Altomare?" asked Serena "Yep, I didn't get to go while I was going threw Kanto, but this time there will be no excuse for me not to go" answered Ash

Note: I exempted the listings this time as nothing changed at all in it, and I wanted to see what a difference they made for how long the chapters were. Though how long a chapter is not my focus, it's the quality not the quantity that matters to me
