Just so that you are not totally confused in this story, here is what happens during the last few years as told by Erin's main pokemon Dragonite:
Ash and Misty have gotten married. Yes they finally realized it plus they had a baby girl named Erin-Rachel Ketchem ERIN!! Not Erin-Rachel, not Erin-chan ERIN!! No need for shouting Erin-Rachel-chan Ketchem/Motomiya *Erin and Davis start turning red* Erin-chan and Davis sitting in a tree...*starts to strangle Catseye* *Davis strangles Kawaii* *sighs* and she calls us lunatics. Well now were was I *strained speaking* Ash's books *face turns blue* Thanks. Ash, with help, wrote a series of books on pokemon training and on his adventures which were so succesful that they got Ash plenty money to support his family. Tracy became the new Pokemon Professor. On occasion he would go on journeys, months at a time with Brock there to help decipher the eating habits of the captured Pokemon.
Speaking of the girl-crazy Pokemon breeder, he finally found a girl who liked him as well. Her name was Rose, Professor Ivy's younger, and in Brock's view, more beautiful sister and they had a little boy named Alexander (Alex).
Gary finally got rid of all those cheerleaders and took over the Viridian City Gym. Somehow he managed to keep himself financialy balanced as a gym. He married Misty's sister Violet and they had a daughter named Elizabeth, but called Liz by everyone except for her parents.
Professor Oak knew that he would have to leave his lab to someone but he could not decide between Ash, Misty, Tracy, Gary or Brock. He decided to give them a test based on the treatment of pokemon, their eating habits and other things that Pokemon Professors should know. Ash failed before the first question because he came too late. Misty failed on the first question that involved the treatment of bug pokemon. Brock didn't know anything about the habits of Jigglypuff because he never went close enough to one to properly study it. On one of the hardest questions, Gary said the wrong answer and later told everyone that he didn't want to be the new pokemon professor (No affence to Liz but I always knew he was a sore loser). Tracy of course won. No one knows what happened to Team Rocket. Well that pretty much sums it up now where's my onagori? *Erin and Davis let go and storm off* *gasps for breath**ice beam fires in all directions including yours* Sorry about that, Dragonite are very testy when it comes to onagori and so is Erin when it comes to being called you know what. Like pokemon trainer like pokemon. Well enjoy the rest of Erin's story :)
****************************************************************
Erin dribbled down the yard at top speed only a couple of feet away from the goal. Then out of nowhere a penalty kick was called. Everyone stood anxiously awaiting Erin's kick. The entire game and the prize lay in Erin's hands or feet which ever way you want to look at it. I hope Alex doesn't try to block this Erin thought. Alex Slade was always goalie in soccer games and he was the goalie in the game where Erin discovered that her penalty kicks could leave people with rather painfull effects if it hit the person as Alex soon found out. He was not exactly the brightest guy you'd ever meet which is why Erin was worried. She did not want any disasters to happen on her birthday. Alex called out not to begin until he was done getting ready. He squatted down a little, narrowing his eyes so that they looked like little brown dots. He smoothed back his pointy red hair only for it to spring back to it's original position. Alex touched his toes, wiggled his legs, did some jumping jacks, stretched his arms over his head and flexed his fingers before signaling for Erin to start. Erin looked over to her left and saw two of her friends snoring on the grass. Erin focused her eyes on the ball, crosed her fingers and kicked. The soccer ball flew at the steel lining of the soccer net leaving a dent and Alex headbutted it in vain. The ball flew back into the steel making a second dent and into the net flinging the entire thing backward. Everyone on Erin's team started cheering as they went to the tables filled with snacks, drinks and a very big cake. Erin ran to were Alex lay on the ground.
"Alex are you all right? Do you know who I am? Are you even alive?!?" Erin asked hurridly.
"Did we lose?" Alex asked while getting up. Erin stared at him in disbeleif
"You were hit by a soccer ball that made a dent in a piece of steel thicker than my wrist and all you can ask is if you lost!?! Maybe there was some brain damage."
"He shows no signs of brain damage" stated Liz from behind Erin. "I suppose the only reason why he survived such a hit is because his spends so much time headbutting his dad's rock pokemon. Oh and Erin, you've made a new record. The goal was flung 5.57 feet. Now let's get some cake birthday girl."
****************************************************************
Erin sat at the head of the table with Alex and Liz on either side of her. Her parents came in with the giant cake which stood out in the evening sky. As they sang Happy Birthday to the now ten-year-old sitting at the table, the cake was served to everyone - Erin getting the biggest piece of course. Every adult closest to Erin had a special gift for her on her birthday. Tracy went first.
"The time has come" he began "for you to chose a pokemon for your very own. If you want to be a pokemon trainer, then I will also give you all of the necessary gear. Once you make your decision you can tell me. Oh and Alex you must come pick up your gear tomorrow." Tracy turned to the Erin "He took a year to decide, please don't take so long."Both girls turned to Alex.
"You mean that you were going on a pokemon journey and you didn't tell us? Some friend you are." said Erin haughtily.
"Would you beleive that I forgot?" Alex said with a shrug. "I certainly do" Liz replied after some consideration "I also remember that you forgot your birthday a few months ago. Maybe you lose your memory as early as 11. "
He turned red and sank in his chair a little. Ash and Misty presented their gift. It was a gold heartshaped locket with a saphire in the center of it. The inside there was enough room for about six pictures if cut them correctly. The back of the locket said 'For our daughter Erin-Rachel - may luck follow you in whatever road you choose to take' There were also two small, emerald clovers with a tiny diamond in the center of each clover.
"For luck and to keep the pictures of those closest to you close to your heart" they both said.
Gary and Violet gave Erin a diamond bracelet similar to the her locket. Inside each little diamond link was a crystal or gem. It was for even more luck. Brock gave her everything she needed to take care of whatever pokemon she chose and some things to take care of herself. Rose (Brock's wife) gave Erin a pokemon translator. She said that they both just had a funny feeling Erin would go on a pokemon journey. After that, the party ended and everyone left.
*****************************************************************************
Not much happened after that. Ash and Gary argued who got Erin the better gift while their wives talked with each other (they were sisters) , Erin and Liz yelled at Alex for forgetting to tell them about his pokemon journey and Liz whined about everyone leaving her all by herself. Liz did have other friends but no one as close as these two. After several hours of all of this, Erin told her decision. She wanted to be a pokemon trainer but only if Liz could come. Tracy bent a few strings and Liz was allowed to go. This made everyone happy for now except for Ash and Gary who started to argue about whose daughter would be a better trainer.
Once again, not much happens. For the next couple of months, everyone was preparing for Erin and Liz's Pokemon journey and Alex finally left with lots of good lucks, don't wonder into beedril nests, more good advice and Liz crying over how they may never see each other again. Then there came more preparation until finally the day of their departure arrived.
*****************************************************************************
Erin sat up ready to yell at the person who just threw water on her. Liz backed off quickly. The girls had a sleepover the night before since they both had to go to the lab in the morning. Liz was always awake at dawn and unfortunately for Erin, she sometimes got bored and woke up someone.
"Looks like someone is going to have a bad hair day" Liz said but barely since she was gigling so much "you look like a dragon who found a theif in it's den and not nearly as pretty"
Erin just scowled and pulled a mirror down from her dresser. Her shiny black hair flew in all directions and the vicious scowl did not help at all. Erin looked at Liz and then at the bucket in her hand and back at Liz.
"Liz" Erin grumbled, falling back into bed "if you do that again you'll have a penalty kick with your name on it"
"You don't really mean that" Liz said smiling "if you did you'd get in a lot of trouble because I've seen Aunt Misty angry before and no one ever gets away untouched."
"But not if I hide body" Erin replied.
"Bah. Well rise and shine termintor before you miss your chance to get first picks of a pokemon. It has happened before."
It took nearly an hour to tame the mane also known as Erin's hair. Liz's neat brown curls never seemed to be messy probably because she woke up so early in the morning. But finally they made their way downstairs for breakfast which they had to make themselves. Ash had a habit of sleeping late and Misty had a habit of yelling at him until he woke up. Right now it was even earlier than usual and still a little dark outside so neither of them were up.
"So what are we going to do now Ms. I-want-to-wake-up-before-dawn. Pokemon don't get up this early!" Erin said sourly.
"Why not go for a walk" Liz said counteracting Erin's sourness. It's not too cold and we might as well have a last look around."
"I can't even disagree with that but you make it sound like we'll never come back here again." Erin said with a ghost of a smile. She was not feeling like a morning person at the time being. "Don't forget your bag though. We can go straight to Professor Tracy's as soon as it's dawn"
Liz and Erin picked up their bags and walked outside. Erin could feel a kind of eeriness about the dark bushes and houses; the kind of feeling you get from a ghost town. On the other hand, it was a pleasant kind of thing. They were the only ones out there and the entire place seemed like it would be theirs forever.
"Maybe I should take a picture of Kanto and put it in my locket" Erin said while looking around.
"Now look whose talking like she's never coming back" Liz said, sitting in the grass.
They were both enjoying the calm breeze around them and the waves hitting the shore. Erin abruptly got up and started to walk toward the grassy area around the shoreline where pokemon usually were found.
"What are you-" Liz began.
"I saw something move around here and I'm checking it out"
"Erin what if there is a Weedle in there it can sting you. Erin will you listen to me?" Liz said with a sigh. "What's in there anyway"
"It's a...a Dratini"
"A Dratini? Here? Has the morning air driven you nuts? Dratini don't live..."Liz stopped in midsentence as she gazed at the hissing little blue thing. Without a word she ran to Tracy's.
Erin closed her jaw and tried to calm it down only to scare it even more. The mild hiss turned into a fierce growl and the Dratini prepared for a tackle attack. Erin picked up the first thing she found in her bookbag and threw it at Dratini. Her eyes were tightly closed and her hands were in front of her face. When she opened them again, at her feet lay a pokeball. She looked around for a trainer or someone unable to beleive that she caught it but no one was around. Tracy came running towards her wearing these ridicoulous yellow spotted pajamas with Liz at his side. Erin could only point ahead of her because she couldn't remember how to speak. You see, Erin just caught a Dratini, and a strong one too, without the use of any special balls or pokemon. It was Pokemon history. It had never happened before which is why no one talks for about five minutes.
Tracy broke the silence when he realized he was in pajamas and hustled them inside, taking the pokeball too.
"Well" Tracy started, as confused as Erin and Liz, "I guess you won't have to choose a pokemon now Erin. But how did you...but who...why..."
"When where and how" Liz said.
"You girls do realize that this is anything but normal but I suppose that it's for the best. I do not have any new types of pokemon here and I only have one. Which means..."
"Which means that Erin would have gotten the last pokemon and I would not be able to go until you either got another one or until I turned ten right?" Liz said. She had a tendancy to interrupt. She always said that 'people start becoming predictable after a while' so she more or less could predict their very thoughts.
"Correct" Tracy said. "Well Liz and Erin here are your Pokedexes and I want you to look this over Liz. It's a pokemon translator. Right now it only works on some of the pokemon your parents had and only on their fully prevolved forms. Maybe you can fool around with it a little and try to program it with patterns. Once your parents wake up you can give them these tickets for the S.S. Jetstream. It leaves in about three hours"
"Ah Proffesor" Liz said with a giggle "you forgot to give me my pokemon"
"Pokemon? What? Oh yeah here." Tracy handed a little green ball to Liz. I'm not sure what pokemon it is."
"I think Profesor Tracy is going nuts" Liz whispered as they walked away from the lab.
