Since Aisha was a child, she was quite distinct from others of her age. When you look at it, you wouldn't notice anything wrong, but you couldn't stop thinking that something wasn't right with her, specifically when she looks at you with their Siena eyes that look older than they should.
Aisha Ketchum was an anomaly. She's always felt that way. Somehow, the life she was living belonged to her and at the same time did not. When school teaches about pokemon typing, she couldn't stop feeling that they were wrong in some things. Little did she know that this tendency of "deja vu" would help her put upside down, the knowledge of the scientific community of the Pokemon world.
On one of the days when she was staying at Professor Oak's lab, Aisha found two stones she had never seen in class. They were relatively familiar and, after sequestering them, she took them to him so she could know what they were. Professor Oak was well known in the scientific community and was always making discoveries. This time he was working with two Eevee; while Gary stood at the table in the corner doing his homework.
"Professor, do you mind if I interrupt what you are doing?"
"Of course not Aisha," he said, letting the Eevees get down off the table "How can I help you?"
"I found these stones in the hallway," she said, "they look like evolution stones, but I've never seen those before."
Professor Oak grab them and after a look, he put them on the table.
"This Aisha, are a Leaf Stone and an Ice Stone." he started "Both of them..."
"Uh, Professor?"
"...are used to evolve some Pokemon, for example, the Leaf Stone can be used to help Exeggcute evolve into Exeggcutor,"
"Grandpa." Said Gary after seeing what Ash was trying to show.
"...an Ice Stone can be used to evolve Alolan Vulpix, which is an ice type, into an Alolan Ninetales..."
"PROFESSOR!"
"GRANDPA!"
"What is it now... Oh, my Arceus!"
Both Eevees were shining while they were touching the stones and once the light was extinguished they changed their forms. Both of them had turned a little bit slimmer and grown up a little, but that's where the resemblances stopped.
While the one on the left had her fur turned into a soft light blue with some darker rhombus-shaped markings on its back; the tip of its tail, feet, and flaps were the same shade of blue and had a teal crest with two dangling flaps adorning its head, which made her think of winter hats; the other on right was the complete opposite.
This one had his fur tuned into a light yellow with dark brown paws. It has a multitude of small green sprouts growing all over its legs, chest, and back, with the longest one on its head, in front of four tan tufts of fur. His ears and tail resemble leaves.
"Uh, Eevee shouldn't have only three evolutions?" asked Gary gazing at the new Pokemon
"Considering that it's called 'the evolution Pokemon', I don't know why we are so astounded" whispered Ash, completely surprised "Professor, what...Uh, Professor?!"
Professor Oak was maniacally typing on the computers, and when Ash and Gary approached they noticed that he was pulling security camera footage to the point when the Eevees evolved. Both seemed thrilled as they extended their paws towards the stones. The female touched the Ice Stone while the male the Leaf Stone.
"Unbelievable..." muttered the professor "This changes everything we know about the Eeveelutions... Maybe there will be more of them being possible to Eevee reach... This needs more studying... Professor Sycamore has talked about Three more new types of pokemon...
Gary and Aisha stared a little bit worried about the Professor, who looked like will stay another long night writing theories, thwarting others from sleeping (aka Professor Sycamore).
"We should call Daisy...?"
"We undoubtedly should call my sister."
Aisha most of the time ignores her "feelings" about information she shouldn't know, but when the professor after a few weeks of studying the Eeveelution asked how they could name them, she couldn't be more fast saying "Glaceon" to the blue one and "Leafeon" to the yellow one
A few months later after that day, the new Eeveelutions were introduced with the Fairy, Dark, and Steel types. Gary, Aisha, and Daisy helped the discovery when Glaceon and Leafeon had kits a few weeks later.
Delia Ketchum was a good mother. Somewhat negligent, due to being single and having to work long hours to provide, but a good mother. She supported Aisha when she wanted to learn knitting to sell all of her creations to buy some personal things that were not fundamental, like a Polaroid Camera and a photo album for them, she supported her when she wished to spend more time in Oak's Ranch when an accidental evolution happen, to become a pokemon researcher like Samuel.
The only problem with her conclusions was that she assumed that Aisha would do that. After she told her that her father, "Jake", abandoned them to be a trainer, Aisha never spoke again of being a Pokemon Trainer. (for some reason that kid only talked about pokemon and training. Better to nip it in the bud than to let it grow. Being a trainer was Delia's worst time-waster of her life, and also where she made the worst decisions)
"Thank Mew" was the frequent relieved thought on Delia's mind when, day after day, Aisha showed more interest in learning about pokemon, other regions, and how to prepare Pokemon food or treats, and recipes for humans. Maybe that was her mistake. She didn't strange when her daughter appeared with an Eevee; Aisha has said the professor asked her, Gary, and Daisy (who returned from another contest season)for help to test if it would be a possibility, that Eevee would have more than the three known, so the little girl would go living when them.
Delia didn't bother, so Eevee started to live with them. Honestly, she barely sees the pokemon cause Ash would be staying more and more in the Lab or Aisha would be training with Eevee. So, one day, when Delia went to get it from the Laboratory and saw a big animation the Oaks and Aisha were doing around the three unknown Pokemon, wasn't a big surprise.
A month later after the discoveries were published, Espeon was still with them, and honestly, Delia thought that the professor had borrowed Aisha the Pokemon, but days were passing and Espeon was still with them.
"Aisha, when will Espeon go to the Professor?" Delia asked while preparing the breakfast. Aisha who was brushing the Sun Pokemon stopped. Espeon's hair was slightly bristly, and all the air in the room got colder.
"Mother" Aisha started calmly despite the tension "What do you mean?"
"I mean, it's very generous of Samuel to lend you Espeon, but you can give back now. After all, you will see her every day when you go there to study to be a researcher." Delia says. Aisha was very mature for her age, but some things were necessary to explain.
"Mother"
"I already told you to call me mum, Aisha, it looks bad you call me so formally."
"Mother." Aisha said firmly "Professor Oak gave me an Eevee to help discover if it exists. And it does, Espeon is proof of that..."
"Precisely, the answer has been given, now you can give it back..."
"Mother, he gives me Espeon, not borrow. She was registered in my name. Once I become a trainer he will give me her Pokeball."
"But you want to be a researcher," Delia says "You even studied for that...
"Mother, where did you get that from?"
"You always stay with Professor studying Pokemon, learning how to make Pokemon food, searching other regions..."
"Yes, because that's what any decent pokemon trainer would do to prepare themselves for their journeys and their teams. Once I make 10 I will go on a journey with Espeon and whatever will be my official starter and become a Pokemon Master... I've told you that a thousand times, you supported me when I wanted to start knitting to make money for my journey,"
Aisha started to feel cold like all of her blood had disappeared when her mother said nothing. Delia started to shake and then...
"No,... I refuse to let you go. You can stay here in Pallet and become a researcher or Professor Oak's assistant and find someone to marry but you are not leaving. I forbid you. Do you understand, young lady?"
"I'm sorry mother, but that's not the life I want for myself. I want to travel, challenge the gym, and battle in the conferences."
"Leave," Delia said. Aisha stood choked. "Grab your damn things and get out of my house. I refuse to have you here. From now on your death to me."
"Mother" Aisha whispered
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
After grabbing her camera and another few personal things that she would miss, Aisha never enters that house again. The professor offers to take care of her.

Ok, time to explain. This is my first fanfiction, so sorry if it isn't what you're expecting from a Pokemon story.
In this AU, the world of pokemon has thousands of different universes. In most of them, there's an "Ash Ketchum" that wants to be a Pokemon Master. In all who have an Ash, they are all bound. For example, in some of them Damian, the Charmander trainer, is a good person so Ash never caught him.
But the problem is when in one of them Ash dies, or one of the bad guys wins, like Cyrus making a new world, this world has an Ash kind of "crash", and Dialga, Palkia, Celebi and Arceus need to fix the timeline. So our Aisha is a mix of an Ash of one of those worlds and the Aisha who was supposed to be born in this world. (Imagine acting like someone who lives like 14 or 16 years, doesn't have memories of that, but lives in the body of a 9-10 traumatized girl who was kicked out of the house by her mother who was supportive in another universe. She needs therapy.)
Well I hope you all liked this chapter, any questions you have to ask in the comments and you will "see me" next time.
Bye Bye

I did a little revision of this chapter because it had some contradictory details that could confuse you. Rest of a good read.
