Chapter 3: Good…and Bad memories.
How two kids met and the story of a child
The small rays of sunshine were beginning to rise in the small town of Pallet Town, illuminating it in a vibrant orange color as the sun was beginning to rise.
Morning was beginning to wake up some of the residents of Pallet Town, who all for some strange reason had wonderful dreams that night.
It wasn't until the local Dodrios started to caw their names in signifying that the night had ended, and the day had begun.
All of the Pokémon in the Oak Corral were starting to wake up too once they heard the Dodrio caw their names. The Pokémon just like the humans also had wonderful dreams but unlike the humans they knew why.
Even Oak's Pokémon had gotten up already, except for Alakazam since he was awake all night, and were popping their bones and stretching their muscles to get the stiffness out off their bodies.
Alakazam was still on top of the windmill meditating until he heard his comrades wake up. Once he heard that he opened his eyes and released the Psychic shield he had all around of Pallet Town to detect any unwanted trespassers . Alakazam stood up on the windmill and was staring at the morning sun for a little bit. While he was doing that, he remembered how he was the only one that saw the Lunar Pokémon Cresselia fly over Pallet Town.
(A/N: Flashback)
"It seems everyone has already fallen asleep, even the old master, and that interesting child too has gone to bed" Alakazam said in his mind to himself. (A/N: In my story Psychic Pokémon with enough experience and practice will be able to talk telepathically)
"Even the old fighter has gone to sleep too. Hmm how surprising, I thought he would stay awake all night still practicing that brutish strength of his." Alakazam said to himself.
"Guess I was wrong which is an interesting feeling since I'm mostly never wrong. What and odd feeling" Alakazam said while shrugging his shoulders.
Soon after Alakazam opened his eyes for a little while and just sat there watching the entirety of Pallet Town under the light of the Full Moon.
Alakazam always found Pallet Town to be a very peaceful place and he greatly enjoyed the peaceful nature of this small settlement his trainer decided to retire too.
Alakazam soon after started reminiscing about his past journeys with his trainer and those old comrades of his. Alakazam, even when he was a small and young Abra and then a Kadabra, always found interesting all the situations his trainers' group always got into and all the times he had to save them by teleporting all of them away.
Alakazam remembered his old comrades in arms in the other Pokémon of his trainer's entourage. He remembered the fierce rivalry the woman's ghost and the bearded man's regal penguin and his trainers fire brute had towards each other and how he always had to put of the strongest Psychic shields he could muster up because they would have their practice battles from time to time.
Alakazam also remembered how scared he was anytime the woman's ghost would look at him in a terrifying way. He could have handled the other woman's Ghosts except for the one that lived in the woman's shadow. Even to this day he, would never admit to anyone thou, was still terrified of the woman's ghost.
As Alakazam remembered that woman's ghost a shiver ran down his spine and the temperature dropped a little bit. Once Alakazam felt this he started to look around but found nothing around him.
"Must have been my imagination" Alakazam said to himself to calm his nerves after remembering that terrifying ghost. Alakazam could only guess how much stronger and terrifying that woman's ghost had become over the years.
He even remembered how terrified he was, but was able to hide it well, when he had to teleport the ghost and the penguin to stop the fire brute from destroying the moon mountain.
He remembered that evil smirk the ghost gave him when he teleported them to the fire brute but had to suck it up and follow his trainers' orders otherwise the fire brute would destroy the habitat of many rocks and ground dwellers and bats.
Alakazam also remembered how amazed he was when he saw that the ghost and penguin had subdued the fire brute and even how in her tired form that malevolent ghost smirk was still so terrifying to him.
Alakazam was glad that he would never have to see that ghost again.
(In Lavender Town)
Gengar was watching over her trainers sleeping form but suddenly felt that someone familiar was talking of her. She smirked at this and gave a quiet chuckle, that to anyone else would seem as the evilest noise in the world, and then continued to watch over her mistress.
(Back in Pallet Town)
Soon Alakazam's mind drifted to the time his trainer and the fire brute, when he was still young, disappeared for a period of three months and how worried his comrades and him where for them but how happy they were when he reappeared.
Many memories were going thru Alakazam's mind as he was staring at Pallet Town.
Alakazam was intrigued for what the future held for the new trainers that where going to head out tomorrow for their journeys. He was also intrigued by the future of that interesting child that loved to read.
Alakazam always found that child interesting because he was not like his peers in being loud and annoying. That child would many times come to his old trainer's ranch and help out his trainers' workers in taking care of some of the Pokémon. All the baby Pokémon loved the quiet child and the adult ones found him just as interesting as Alakazam.
Alakazam liked how interesting this child was and if truth be told he preferred him more than his trainer's grandson, not the granddaughter thou he found her tolerable. His trainer's grandson was just to arrogant and loud for his tastes.
Alakazam remembered how he met the boy for the first time.
(A/N: Mini Flashback inside a Flashback? Whaaaaaat!)
"What a peaceful and uneventful day" Alakazam thought to himself while heading to his favorite resting place on a small tree close to a small pond inside the bug forest in his trainer's corral.
Alakazam could have easily teleported to his resting place but he decided to not and just walk and enjoy the day and peaceful and happy atmosphere around him.
Everywhere he walked Alakazam would always get a respectful greetings from the adult Pokémon and the young Pokémon would just stare in awe at him and if Alakazam was in the mood he would levitate the young Pokémon in the air with his Psychic powers for a while and then put them down before continuing his walk.
Alakazam, just like the rest of his comrades, was respected by all the adult Pokémon in the corral and the young Pokémon found them awesome, in their words.
Alakazam didn't mind the respect but knew that he, and the rest of his comrades, were the protectors of all the Pokémon in this corral and the humans in Pallet Town.
Alakazam knew that he and his comrades would protect all of Pallet Town with all their might if they were ever threatened. The protectors knew they would gladly give their lives for everyone in Pallet Town in protecting them. Pallet Town was their and their Trainer's territory and they were very territorial of their place and may Arceus have mercy on any fool who's brave enough or dumb enough try to come to Pallet Town with the intention on harming it.
Him and his comrades vowed one night that they would protect Pallet Town with their lives and never let any fool or dangerous Pokémon bring harm to it and anyone in it. They vowed to protect to keep the peaceful and happiness nature of Pallet Town at all costs that not even the legendarys themselves would be able to harm Pallet Town if they wanted too.
Alakazam reaffirmed his vows as he was walking thru the corral and seeing all the baby Pokémon playing and the older ones grazing or resting. He walked awhile and after many respectful greetings and him playing a little bit with some of the baby Pokémon, he started to arrive to his resting place in the forest.
As Alakazam was getting closer to his favorite resting place, he started to see the silhouettes of two figures that were laying on his resting place. Alakazam couldn't actually see their faces because he could only feel they were there with his Psychic energy. Alakazam wasn't as proficient in the ways of the Aura as the Aura wielders but his skill in it was rudimental at best and mediocre at worst but he knew the Aura wielders would have been able to detect who was there by simply sensing their Aura.
Alakazam was impressed that someone was able to find his resting place because it was well hiding deep in the forest and the only ones that knew of it were the Pokémon that lived in the small forest, his comrades, and his trainer.
Alakazam soon used his Psychic energy to detect if the figures were hostile but soon lowered his defenses when he noticed they were not any danger to anyone.
Being the ever curios one Alakazam finally teleported behind a tree that was mere feet away from were the figures where laying in his resting place.
Soon after, Alakazam poked his head out from behind the tree he was hiding behind to see the figures were one of those poison users and the interesting child that always came to the corral to help out the workers of his trainer.
He was intrigued by the unique scene in front of him with the child laying back on his tree and with the body of the poison user coiled around him, protectively if he might add, and the poison user's head covering the entirety of the young child's lap while she was sleeping on it. Alakazam almost laughed at the scene, but controlled himself, because he found it odd how the child was simply at ease with him being coiled around by the creature who's own body girth was equal to the child's small body and who said creature could crush his bones if she wanted to.
Alakazam couldn't have expected more from that interesting child, that's why he always found his visits very interesting and was always observing him thru his Psychic powers. That child was loved by all the baby Pokémon because he would always bring them treats and sometimes play with them, the child didn't care of the species of the young, he would treat them all equally. The adults also liked him because he wasn't like the other children who were loud and annoying sometimes and because whenever they were near him, they just felt at ease.
As he was seeing the child read, he remembered the time when his trainer found the child asleep in his corral but the interesting part, in Alakazam's mind, was when they found the child, he was sleeping with a plethora of Pokémon around him. The Pokémon were of all sizes and shapes and of many different species around the corral and at the center of it all was the child sleeping on the belly of one of the sleeping giants with some of the young ones cuddled close to him. Alakazam could remember all the peaceful sleeping faces of the Pokémon who were there, and he was even tempted to sleep with them too but didn't. Then Alakazam remembered how hard it was to remove the sleeping child from all the Pokémon around him without waking them up.
That memory brought a quiet chuckle from Alakazam but as he was continuing to stare at the reading child and the poison user his mind drifted to the time the child single handedly was able to stop the rampage of one of the steel snakes in the corral.
Alakazam remembered how his trainer and his workers were trying everything they could to calm down the steel snake, while the child was watching from safely from behind them, but to no avail. His trainer was even tempted to use the fire brute and old dragon to incapacitate the steel snake but was stopped by the interesting child. The child said that he thought of what was wrong with the steel snake and wanted to get close to it. Unsurprisingly enough everyone there at that time completely refused saying it was too dangerous and that the child might get hurt. Thru sheer stubbornness the child was able to convince the old trainer to let him handle the steel snake but with the condition that the old fire dog was next to him at all time, the child agreed. Alakazam could still remember his trainers' orders to immediately teleport the child if the steel snake attacked him and the fire dog. His trainer knew that the fire dog could take on and subdue the steel snake if the need arrived, but he was afraid the child would get caught in the crossfire. So Alakazam was ready at all time to teleport the child away.
Alakazam could remember the determined face of the child to help the steel snake from whatever was making it angry. He could remember all the worry his trainer and the workers felt at seeing the small child getting close to the steel snake. When the child got close to the still rampaging steel snake the child, surprisingly, yelled the steel snakes name to get its attention, he was successful. The steel snake immediately stopped its rampage and stared at the fearless child in front of him but then started to move to the child and the old dog. The old dog was seen getting ready to attack the steel snake if it was going to attack the child and Alazakam was ready to teleport the child away at any time.
Then a small smile spread across Alakazam's face when he remembered what happened next.
As the steel snake was approaching more and more the situation was becoming tenser and tenser by the moment and it almost reached a boiling point when the steel snake lowered its massive head close to the child. The old dog and his trainer and the workers were about to yell and attack, in case of the old dog, for the child to get away. It was the child who was able to calm down the entire situation by petting the side of the old dog and then turning his head to give a smile to his trainer and the workers. His old trainer and his workers as well as the old dog decided to trust the child and let him be, but Alakazam was still on guard for anything. Once the old dog moved the child started moving close to the great head of the steel snake until it was face to face with it. The child's small body dwarfed in comparison to just the head of the steel snake, yet he was still there fearlessly by his wanting to help the steel snake. Alakazam clearly remembered when the child put his small hands on the steel snake's face and then began to talk to it. Neither Alakazam or his trainer or the workers could discern what the child was talking to the steel snake and the only one that did was the old dog. Then to everyone's great surprise the steel snake started to shed a couple of tears and then child, again, to everyone's surprise, gave a hug to the head of the steel snake while petting its side. After the hug was done the child said one last thing to the steel snake before running back along the old dog to his trainer. It seams that the child was able to figure out that the steel snake was not angry but that it was in pain because of something. When his trainer questioned how he came to that conclusion the child simply said, "I honestly don't know I could just feel his pain when I was close to him."
Alakazam at first thought it was something to do with Aura but then crushed that idea because, even with his rudimentary knowledge in the subject, he could feel that there was no Aura in play. Alakazam then thought about the idea of the child, unknowingly, using a few Psychic powers. Alakazam knew that humans were capable of using Psychic energies, not to the level of any of his kin, if they were born with the ability and trained on it with the greatest example being that young girl Sabrina he had heard about. Soon after Alakazam got rid of that idea too because he felt no other Psychic energy, that wasn't his, being active at the time the child was speaking to the steel snake. Alakazam could not figure out how the child was able to figure out the steel snake was in pain, he though that maybe the child could understand the Pokémon language but he got rid of the idea as quickly as it came because if it was true he would have been able to understand him the times they met without him using his telepathy. The child simply connected with the steel snake to figure out its dilemma.
Alakazam soon after remembered that the steel snake's pain was caused by a couple of Rocks and ground dwellers that had gotten stuck in the crevasses of the steel snake's neck. He then remembered when the child had to be there close to the steel snake and hugging his head while the old fighter and the fire brute and even the old dragon were there getting out the rocks and ground dwellers from the steel snake's neck. It was a painful experience, for the steel snake at least, but with the child's moral support the steel snake was able to go thru it. The child still had to be there when his trainer wanted to give some final checkups to the steel snake to make sure he was really okay. In the end, thanks to the child's help they were able to stop the rampaging of the steel snake and even help it, and that single action was what made Alakazam and the rest of his comrades respect the child as much as they respected their trainer because of the child's bravery and his sheer determination and will to try and help the steel snake even with his life being in potential danger during the whole ordeal.
Soon another quiet chuckle escaped Alakazam by remembering how wet the child was left when the steel snake gently licked him, but with the steel snake's tongue being bigger and larger than the body of the child, the child was completely smothered by the whole tongue and left completely wet. The child didn't mind and simply laughed along everyone else.
All of this was going thru Alakazam's mind as he was staring at the child who was still reading his book. That was another thing that intrigued Alakazam very much of the child in his obsession of reading. Alakazam found that intriguing because many children of the child's age found reading boring and not worth their time, but the child was always seen with a book in hand whenever he came to help out in the corral. Alakazam from time to time would read along with the child, without him knowing of course wouldn't want to freak out the poor lad know, whenever he would be anywhere in the corral.
Alakazam's eyes then drifted off to the sleeping poison user in the child's lap and gave out a small and quiet sigh. Alakazam could recall how overprotective the poison user was over the child and how every time he came to the corral, the poison user would immediately head straight to the child and follow him around everywhere, he went when he was in the corral. Basically, the poison user became like one of those fire puppies that followed the old fire dog around whenever the child came here. Alakazam also remembered that every time the child came the poison user would immediately smother him in a hug with its huge body with many time nearly suffocating the poor lad and soon after sulking in a corner when it realized it did the same thing again and the lad having to cheer up the poison user. Whenever the child was around, he and the poison user were inseparable.
Alakazam let out another small chuckle at this and knew that once the child reached his ten years of age that would make him head out for his journey the poison user by heaven and earth will go with the child that not even him and his comrades combined forces would be able to stop him. Alakazam couldn't wait for that day to come.
Alakazam then had enough of staring at the child and revealed himself to the child and the poison user by walking towards them.
The child at first, didn't see him but after he made a little noise, he caught his attention.
Once the child's head turned to him, the poison user's head immediately stood up and started to look around to find out who disturbed the time with she was having with the child.
Alakazam noticed that the poison user's body had coiled up around the child more protectively when the child moved. Soon after the child spoke.
"Its okay girl, its just Mr. Alakazam" the child said to the poison user to calm her down. The poison user then turned towards Alakazam and it started to uncoil a little bit from the child but still was coiled around him.
Alakazam always found it amusing how the child referred to him and his comrades with the Mr. before their names. The child, to Alakazam's delight, was very respectful and polite not only towards the humans but the Pokémon too. His attention was brought back to the child when he spoke.
"Uhm Mr. Alakazam might I ask what your doing here?" the child questioned him.
Alakazam didn't respond telepathically but just motioned to the tree the child and his companion were laying at and then at the pond and then looked at the child.
"I think I get it. This is the place you always disappear too during every morning and don't come back out until afternoon." The child said but quickly continued "This is where you go rest isn't it?" the child questioned Alakazam.
Alakazam was not surprised by the child's quick realization because he knew the child was more than what meets the eye. He simply nodded to the child.
"Very well, sorry for us intruding in your resting area. We just found it while we were exploring for a place to read for me and a place for rest for her." The child said pointing at the poison user at the end of his statement.
"Again sorry" the child said while giving a deep bow towards Alakazam and the poison user mimicking the child's actions by bowing its head.
Alakazam was always amazed by the uniqueness of the child and his actions right now prove that the child is unlike anyone he had ever met, including his trainer. Many humans, not all, wouldn't care of asking for a Pokémon's permission on resting on their resting place and simply rest there. Then there is this child asking for forgiveness to Alakazam for disturbing his resting place and even him and his companion bowing to him.
"What an interesting child" Alakazam thought to himself as the child and poison user were still bowing. Then his attention was brought back to the child.
"We'll be leaving now and again sorry Mr. Alakazam" the child said before getting up and the poison user following the child's actions.
Once the child and poison user got up from where they were, they gave one last bow to Alakazam and started heading back to the lab of his trainer.
Alakazam simply stared at their retreating forms until they were out of his sight. Once both left, Alakazam simply sighed before going to the tree, the child and poison user were resting at, and sitting down next to it.
Alakazam then started to think about the future of that child. Unlike the irritating future seeing birds, Alakazam could barely look into someone's future and see what it holds for them. Despite what many think him, and his comrades are not all powerful, they were still very strong and could give the dragon champion a run for his money thou but could still improve their abilities. What he and his comrades had were experiences and many years to master their techniques to perfection but many years of no battles and not that much training anymore, and age will do something to their bodies.
So Alakazam knew he couldn't see that far into someone's future but could still see somewhat but when he tried it for the child, he couldn't see anything, as if a higher force prevented him from seeing a glimpse of the child's future.
Alakazam simply shrugged at his thinking. It wasn't his place to try to see what Lord Arceus had planned for the child. All he knew was that the child was destined for greatness and that he was going to be a catalyst for this world.
"For the first time ever, I don't know what the future holds" Alakazam said in his mind but quickly continued "What an Odd feeling not knowing what is coming."
Alakazam then stared at the beautiful blue sky before saying "Yet I am excited for this uncertainty and I can't wait to see the impact that child will have on this world." Soon Alakazam closed his eyes and began to rest.
(A/N: Mini Flashback in Flashback End)
Alakazam was reminiscing all this as he was still staring at the beautiful full moon.
After a little while he began to sense a figure that was fast approaching Pallet Town. Alakazam was ready to attack whoever dared to attack Pallet Town while everyone was sleeping and was about to call his comrades. Soon after he relaxed once feeling that the energy that was heading towards him was not hostile and was instead peaceful and warm. Alakazam simply waited for the figure to reach Pallet Town and see what it wanted.
Soon after Alakazam saw that the creature that had reached Pallet Town and who was right on top of all of Pallet Town while being under the light of the full moon. Under the light of the full moon Alakazam could see who the figure was and it turned out to be the lady of dreams Cresselia.
(A/N: Imagine Cresselia floating over Pallet Town and being illuminated by a full moon)
"Is that Lady Cresselia? I wonder what she is doing here?" Alakazam mused to himself but soon got his answer when Cresselia's body started glow in a beautiful light that was given force by the moonlight and yet no one but Alakazam noticed this.
The glow soon exploded into a million glowing sparkles and Lady Cresselia started to disperse all those sparkles by flying all over Pallet Town and the Oak Corral.
Alakazam quickly deduced that those sparkles were for everyone in Pallet Town in both human and Pokémon to have Pleasant dreams. Since Alakazam was not sleeping any time soon he just stared at the beauty that Lady Cresselai was doing.
Once Lady Cresselia stopped dispersing the dream sparkles in the corral, she noticed Alakazam on top of the windmill and simply stared at him.
"Lady Cresselia." Alakazam said respectfully towards Cresselia while slightly bowing his head towards her.
Lady Cresselia said nothing but nodded her head as a sign of acknowledgement towards Alakazam. Soon after she gave on last sight of Pallet Town before heading off into the night sky.
Alakazam stared at her retreating form until she was quickly out of sight. Once she left Alakazam stared back at Pallet Town for a while longer before closing his eyes and re-assuming his mediation but not before saying a few last words.
"What an interesting place this is" Alakazam said before resuming his meditation.
(A/N: Flashback end)
Alakazam was soon brought out of his thoughts by a growl by Oak's Charizard. Once Alakazam heard Charizard, he teleported to him and began explaining what transcribed during the night.
As it turns out Oak's team had come to the agreement that Alakazam would be the night guard and watcher over Pallet Town while everyone else rested and once morning came the rest of Oak's team would watch and protect Pallet Town for the day so that Alakazam could rest. Then Oak's Pokémon would gather at the Lake Gyarados was in and discuss the events of both that day and the previous night to see if anything occurred. That has been going on for the last 30 years.
As Charizard was listening to Alakazam, he was shocked when told that Cresselia had flown over Pallet Town but quickly realized that it must have been because of her that he had a wonderful dream.
Once Alakazam finished his Report to Charizard and the rest of Oak's team they nodded towards each other and soon after Alakazam teleported to his resting place to rest.
Soon after Alakazam left Charizard puffed out some smoke from his mouth then looked to the sky and after reading himself, Charizard gave one mighty roar that shook Pallet Town to its foundation. The mighty roar was for everyone in Pallet Town to wake up and wake them up it did.
After Charizard was done he puffed out his chest with pride, the rest of Oak's Pokemons just looked at him with an exasperated look on their faces. Then they all went their separate ways around the Corral to watch over it.
(Inside Oak Lab)
Professor Oak was still sleeping until he heard Charizard's mighty roar and because of it he jumped out of his bed and fell on the floor. As Oak was getting up and rubbing his back, because of the fall, he spoke.
"I don't know why he keeps doing that" grumbled Oak tiredly and hurt.
"I need to have a talk with him" said Oak to himself.
"Well that's for later, I need to get ready for the new trainers" Oak continued to speak to himself.
As Oak was walking to shower himself to wake him up, he started to think of the new trainers that were heading out today.
First there was his grandson Gary. Oak loved him very much but during the last years he felt that Gary has gotten a little to arrogant, In part he blamed himself from spoiling Gary a little bit too much when Daisy left for Hoenn. He had heard of Gary's arrogant attitude from his teachers and soon after had a long talk with him to bring him back down from the cloud he was standing on.
Oak thought his talk had worked but was disappointed when he heard from Eren and Mikasa Jager that Gary was part of the group of children that were bullying Ash in school.
After hearing about that Oak had another long talk with Gary and told him that if he continued with that attitude of his and did not apologize to Ash, he wouldn't give him a starter and he wouldn't let him go on his Pokémon journey.
That seem to do the trick and soon after Gary, along with Oak, went to the Ketchum residence and apologized to Ash for Gary's bullying.
Delia was shocked to know that Gary was part of the children that bullied her son but was furious with Ash for him not telling her about this bullying problem. When Delia asked Ash why he kept this from her, Ash's answer surprised everyone present at that time.
(A/N: Mini Flashback)
"Ashton Satoshi Ketchum why didn't you tell me about this young man!" Delia said angrily to her son after hearing from Gary that Ash was being bullied by a group of children.
Professor Oak and Gary were just there watching and waiting for Ash's response to the furious Delia Ketchum. Delia Ketchum rarely got angry but when she did it was a scary sight.
"I didn't want to worry you mom. You already go thru allot with running the small restaurant close to Professor Oak's lab." Ash said to his mom shyly, but then small tears were forming in his eyes.
"I-I ju-just did-didn't wan-want to gi-give mo-more stress to you" Ash said between sniffles and hiccups while his head was down but most prominently he had a blush of shame on his face.
Delia's anger instantly banished when she saw her son crying and immediately hugged him in a loving motherly embrace.
"There there honey don't cry, mommy is not angry with you anymore" Delia said to Ash as she was hugging him.
"I-I'm so-sorry mo-mommy I-I ju-just tried to not be a bo-bother to you" Ash said between tears while returning the hug to his mom.
Delia just continued hugging her son with all the love a mother could give before saying "Ashy you could never be a bother to me. I am your Mommy and mommies are supposed to protect their baby boys. You are still my baby boy right sweetie?" Delia told then asked Ash before raising up his face to meet hers. Then she wiped away the tears around Ash's face and gave him another warm motherly kiss on his cheek to wipe some of his tears away.
"Ye-yes mo-mommy As-Ashy is st-still yo-your baby bo-boy" Ash said between tears and soon after buried his face in her mother's chest and gave her another hug but this time letting out all the sadness, Pain, frustration, impotence, and anger he felt because of his bullies torment.
Delia like any loving mother would simply petted Ash's head and rocked him back and forth in her lap while continuously saying "there there Ashy, mommy is hear and she will always protect you and love you."
The mother and son embraced lasted for a few minutes and all the while Oak and Gary were staring at the beautiful scene playing in front of them.
Professor Oak gave a smile at how beautiful the scene was. He, unlike many other's in Pallet Town, knew Ash was always calm, cool, and collected but he also knew that Ash was still just a child that wanted his mommy to comfort him and the scene just proves it. He knew that Ash was always hiding something but never enquired him on what it was because it wasn't his place to ask Ash if he didn't want to answer him. To find out that Ash was being bullied made Oak angry but soon his heart broke for the young child when he figured that Ash had buried all that pain and sadness deep within him and endured all the taunting and bullying just to not trouble his mother. In that moment Oak realized that Ash Ketchum was the kindest and purest soul he had ever met.
Oak knew that Ash was kind, even thou many might disagree with him by saying that the kid was just emotionless when they first met him, and many of the elderly people knew it as well. The young child has a heart of gold because he was always so kind to the elderly population of Pallet Town by listening and paying attention to them and even sometimes cooking for them. Many of the elderly people had lost their sons/daughters/grandchildren/brothers/sisters to either them leaving to continue their life somewhere else or death. Then came this young child into their lives and illuminated their lives with just his presence and him enjoying being around them and listening to their stories.
Sadly, many children in Pallet Town don't spend that much time with the elderly because they find them boring but not Ash. Ash, whenever he was not reading or helping his mom out or helping in the corral, would immediately go and spend time with the elderly people of Pallet. Whenever he was with them, Oak could recall, he would sing to them, play music for them, cook for them, but most importantly listen to them. Ash never had any grandparents, because they both died many years before Ash was born, so he enjoyed spending as much time as he could with the elderlies and viewed every single one of them as his "grandpa" and "grandma" and the elderly viewed him as "their grandson" therefore the cute moniker given to him by the elderlies as "Pallet's Grandson." Ash loved them all and the time he spent with them that anytime one would pass on, Ash would cry for them and go to their funeral. That is how kind the child was and how big his heart was.
Soon Oak's mind drifted to how kind Ash was towards the Pokémon of the Corral and how they all loved him and enjoyed his company. He recalled that incident with the Steelix and how Ash was so determined to help him even with his life in danger. He remembered how respectful and polite Ash was to his Pokémon whenever he met them, something he had never seen before in a child. Then he remembered that time when many Pokémon slept around Ash and how hard it was to get him out of there. He then remembered how "that one" and Ash met and how ever since that day, whenever Ash was at the corral, both of them were inseparable. Ash didn't discriminate from Pokémon to Pokémon he liked all of them for their uniqueness and even vowed to have a Pokémon of every type in his team once he started his journey.
"Ash is truly a kind soul" Oak thought to himself as he was continuing to watch the mother and son embrace. Then his eyes went from the scene playing in front of him, to Gary.
He sighed and wondered why Gary was part of the group of bullies that bullied Ash. He knew his grandson wasn't a bad kid, a little arrogant maybe, but not bad because while during the mother and son embrace, he could see Gary's head down in shame and with a few tears falling down onto the floor. Oak knew Gary didn't want to bully Ash but was still part of the group that did. He'd had to talk to his grandson in private to see why he was part of that group.
Soon his mind went to those children that bullied Ash and the long talk he was going to have with their parents and them. Oak will not tolerate bullying in his Town, and he would make sure that none of this ever happened again and if the parents or the children complained they could just take it to Charizard.
Soon Oak's attention was brought back to Delia and Ash once their embrace had ended. Then both Delia and Ash started to walk towards him and his grandson with Ash holding his mothers' hand tightly.
"Sorry about ignoring you Professor" said Delia to Oak.
"It's quite alright Delia, don't worry about it. In fact, I think Gary wanted to say something to Ash and you. Isn't that right Gary?" Oak said then asked Gary. Gary nodded his head and Oak motioned for him to go on.
"I-I'm sorry Ms. Ketchum" Gary said shyly to Delia.
"Sigh, Gary while I don't approve of you being there when my son was being bullied and not doing anything to stop it, I don't blame you. I know you are a great kid and it was probably the other mean kids that made you do it, but you shouldn't be apologizing to me. You should be apologizing to Ash" Delia said to Gary while looking at Ash at the end of her statement.
Gary soon after looked at Ash and knew what he had to do. So, he walked a little bit to where Ash was and did something that surprised Ash, Delia, and Professor Oak. He went on his hands and knees and begged for Ash's forgiveness.
"I am so so so sorry Ash! I am sorry for being there and not stopping those bullies! I am sorry for everything they ever did to you and me not stopping them! I was just to afraid of being rejected that I let all those mean things slide! So please I beg for your forgiveness! I'll do anything you want me to do! I'll do your homework, I'll give you my lunch every time in school, I'll let you hit me, I'll even let you pick the starter that I want when we start our journey, but please I just beg you to forgive me!" Gary yelled his apology to Ash while still prostrated in front of Ash.
Ash. Delia, and Oak were shocked to see the arrogant Gary Oak prostrated in front of someone and asked for their forgiveness. Delia and Oak were surprised by this but soon gave a smile towards Gary because to go this far to ask for Ash's forgiveness means that he truly is sorry.
Ash in the other hand didn't like to see Gary this way.
"If you want me to forgive you then get up Gary. Don't prostrate yourself before me. It isn't like you at all" said Ash to Gary while making him get up from the position he was in.
"What?" Gary said confused but soon got up.
"Gary listen to me; I forgave you a long time ago" Ash said to a shocked Gary.
"Yo-you for-forgave me" Gary stuttered his reply.
"Yes, I know it wasn't your fault. You were just trying to be accepted by the "cool kids" and besides I could see the sad look on your face every time I was being bullied and also saw that you wanted to do something but just couldn't in fear of being bullied too for defending me. So, it's okay you don't need to do anything for me." Ash calmly said to Gary.
The child Ash was gone and the cool, calm, and collected Ash had returned, Oak noticed the change at seeing the interaction between his grandson and Ash.
"Are you sure?" Gary asked Ash.
"Yes, I am sure but if you really want to do something for me then I could think of something quickly" Ash said while still looking at Gary.
"Anything and I'll do it!" Gary quickly replied.
"Very well. All I ask you is for you not to hang out with those kids anymore Gary. Your better than them and they don't deserve you. I know you can make friends and become the most popular kid in school if you set your mind too, you're the great Gary Oak after all." Ash said with a smirk at the end at seeing the old prideful Gary return.
"That's right I am Gary Oak, grandson of legendary Professor Oak!" Gary said while puffing out his chest with pride.
Delia, Oak, and Ash simply chuckled at Gary's action.
"You sure are and for my second request. I want you to get as strong as you can and find yourself the strongest team of Pokémon you can once we begin or journey. I wouldn't want to beat the great Gary Oak too easily to win the Indigo League championship. I want an awesome battle and I know you're the only one that will give it to me." Ash said to Gary with a challenging look on his face.
"You got Ash! Don't worry I will get as strong as possible and I will beat you when we face each other in the finals of the Indigo Conference and then you will admire my awesomeness" Gary said while making a good guy pose to them and giving the adults and Ash a thumbs up. (A/N: Gai pose from Naruto)
"That's all I can ask for." Ash said while extending his hand to Gary.
"Thanks again Ash. Your truly are one of a kind you know that,right?" Gary asked Ash before grabbing his hand and shaking it. Ash simply laughed at that but responded.
"Hehehe I get that allot." Ash told Gary.
Delia and Oak were just watching Gary and Ash's interaction with a proud smile on their face on seeing how kind Ash was in forgiving Gary and how Gary swallowed his pride to beg Ash for his forgiveness. Then both of them spoke to each other.
"They both sure are great kid's, aren't they?" Oak asked Delia while still looking at Ash and Gary.
"They sure are. Reminds you of those two don't they Professor?" Delia questioned Oak.
"Too much for my liking especially Gary." Oak said while letting out a sigh.
Delia simply smiled and remembered the time of those two when they were here. Soon after their attention was brought back to the two kids heading for them.
"Everything is okay now mom. Gary apologized and I forgave him" Ash told his mom.
"That's right Ms. Ketchum. Ash was kind enough to forgive me for being an Asshole all that time." Gary said with a sheepish smile on his face.
"Language Gary" Oak warned Gary.
"Oops, sorry Gramps hehehe." Gary said again but now embarrassed.
Delia and Ash giggled at that and Oak simply sighed at Gary's response.
"Alrighty Gary if Ashy forgave you then I guess I can forgive you too but promise me that nothing like this will ever happen again. Okay?" Delia told then asked Gary.
"You got it Ms. Ketchum. I promise you on my name that I will never allow anyone to bully Ash anymore" Gary told Delia.
"Very good." Delia said but then looked at Ash "and for you mister never hide anything like this from me again and tell me immediately and I will deal with it. No one bullies my baby boy and gets away with it." Delia said while a scary Oni mask formed behind her.
"What a scary woman" Oak, Gary, and Ash thought. But as soon as the Oni mask appeared it disappeared, and Delia was back to her cheerful self before giving a clap.
"Very well now that the situation has been resolved…. Who wants to eat my world-famous spaghetti with little hot dogs!" Delia asked already knowing the answer.
"Me!" Both Gary and Ash yelled together.
"Alright then boys then go wash yourselves before you come and eat. I need to prepare the ingredients first and then the food." Delia said to both Gary and Ash but then looked at Oak.
"Your also invited Professor Oak" Delia said to Oak.
"I wouldn't want for us to intrude Delia" Oak said to Delia.
"Nonsense Professor Oak, your always welcomed here" Delia said again while trying to convince Oak. That is until Gary spoke up again.
"Come on Gramps. Ms. Ketchum's cooking is the best in the world" Gary told his Grandfather.
"Gary is right Professor Oak. Why do you think I can cook so good?" Ash said with a smirk on his face. Gary looked at Ash in shock in finding out he can cook but decided to save the question for later.
"Just because of those compliments boys your both getting extra servings tonight" Delia said to Ash and Gary.
"Awesome!" they both screamed.
"Hehehe very well. I guess I can't disagree with that. So, will be staying to eat" Oak finally said before his grandson gave him a huge hug.
"Thanks Grandpa you're the best." Gary said to Oak.
"Think nothing of it." Oak said before ruffling Gary's hair.
"Now go on and wash yourself with Ash in the bathroom while Delia prepares the food." Oak told to Gary. (A/N: Normal bath stuff, no weird stuff)
"Come on Ash lets do this quickly so we can eat!" Gary said while heading out to the bath.
"I'm going Gary" Ash said before following Gary but in a calmer pace than his excited friend.
Delia and Oak just stared at them until they disappeared into the bath.
"Well I better get start on preparing the food" Delia said before starting to head of into the kitchen.
"I'll help you" Said Oak.
Delia simply smiled and nodded to Oak.
That night everyone had a wonderful dinner and spent a great time together.
(A/N: Mini Flashback End)
That memory brought a small smile into his aged face before heading into the shower. Soon he remembered the talk he had with the parents of the children who bullied Ash.
That memory brought another smile to Oak's face because of the scolding the bullies received and also because they were forced by their parents to apologize to Ash and promise to never bother him again otherwise they would not be allowed to go on their journeys when the time came. In the end they did apologize, thou begrudgingly, to Ash and promised to never bother him and they fulfilled their promise and Ash was never bothered or bullied again.
As Oak was finishing his shower, he thought about those Jager children, Mikasa and Eren.
Oak didn't know much about them and their family. All he knew was that their Father, Grisha Jager, was a doctor originally from the Unova region but was exiled for trying to start an insurrection against the Unova royalty. How he got to Kanto and even more Pallet Town, Oak had no idea.
Oak at first was doubtful of letting him stay in Pallet Town but Grisha was able to convince him by promising him that he would use all his medical expertise to help everyone in Pallet Town without and economical compensation. All he asked was a roof to sleep under, a warm bed, and warm food. Oak complied to all this but could not give it to Grisha himself, so he asked anyone in Pallet Town if they could help him and oddly enough local girl Karla Fritz volunteered to help Oak.
Oak was surprised but gratefully accepted her help. As time went on Grisha was starting to gain the people's respect and trust and after a few years officially became the local Doctor of Pallet Town. When more time passed Oak had discovered that Grisha and Karla were in a relationship and even found out that Grisha had impregnated Karla and, because of it, was going to marry her.
After Oak heard about this, he wanted to have a long talk with Grisha and find out his intentions with Karla. Keep in mind that Oak is very protective of everyone in Pallet Town, especially the girls.
Oak had demanded that Grisha tell him everything if he wanted his blessing and for him to marry them.
Grisha complied and told Oak everything. Grisha told Oak about how he had a previous wife in a royal girl from Unovan Royalty, how he had a son with her with the name of Zeke, how that son betrayed him and sold him and her out to the royalty of Unova, how his previous wife was killed when she was injected with a strange syringe that basically lobotomized her and turned her into a vegetable and then thrown into Paradise lake to then be eaten by a rabid pack of Sharpedos, how they were going to lobotomized him too but was saved by a royal guard, how his friends were killed too, and he even told Oak a little bit about his childhood, and even told Oak about a little sister he had but then was killed. Grisha had told Oak everything about his past to earn the man's trust. To say Oak was surprised was an understatement but after hearing all this he knew he needed to have a talk with Lance, Steven, Cynthia, Diantha, Alder, Charles, and Agatha about the royalty of the Unova Region. If what Grisha had told him was the truth they needed to have an investigation on what was really going on in Unova and fix it.
Oak remembered how he had to comfort Grisha after he told him everything. But then telling him, after Grisha told him everything about himself, "Welcome to Pallet Town." With Oak's approval Grisha had officially become one of Pallet Town. Oak then agreed to officiate the wedding of Grisha and Karla, once Grisha told him he wanted to marry Karla because he truly loved her and not out of responsibility for the soon to be born baby. So Grisha and Karla were married, and they live happy to the present day. They then had their son to which they named Eren in honor of the royal guard that saved Grisha all those years ago. How they met that young girl Mikasa was a whole other thing and a sad one at that.
Oak gave out a sad sigh as he was remembering, while dressing up, young Mikasa's way into Pallet Town.
As it turns out Grisha alongside young Eren were traveling to meet a small family that lived deep in the Pallet Forest behind the Xanadu Nursery that was close to Pallet Town. That family as it turned out was young Mikasa's birth family, the Ackermens. From what Grisha had told him, he was visiting them because the mother was sick and Grisha went, with Eren, to give her medical treatment. It went like that for a couple of months until that sad day came.
Grisha had decided to ask Oak if he wanted to go with him and meet the family that he was seeing, Oak agreed because he felt he should know everyone to some degree in Pallet Town.
Oak remembered taking his trusty Machamp with him, just for extra protection, when they went to see the family. The beginning of the memory brought a smile to Oak's face because he remembered how excited little Eren was at seeing his powerful Machamp and asking him to carry Eren, which he did and even tossed in the air all the while Eren laughing his butt off.
Then a scowl settled in his face when he remembered what happened next.
(A/N: Flashback)
(started to rain)
"Hmm it seems that it has started to rain Grisha." Oak said to Grisha while extending his arm out and feeling the raindrops hit his hand.
"It seems so Professor." Grisha replied to Oak while watching the dark clouds.
"Chaaamp" Machamp said agreeing with both his trainer and Grisha, while carrying Eren in one of his arms.
"I hate the rain, I hate the cold, I don't like getting wet." Eren said his grievances at the situation at hand. Oak and Grisha simply laughed at the pout in Eren's face.
"I'm sorry Grisha I should have brought Alakazam with us. If he would have been here, he would have created a Psychic shield around us to cover us from this rain." Apologized Oak to Grisha.
"It's okay Professor. That's why I came prepared just in case this happened." Grisha said while smirking at the end.
"You did?" Oak said to Grisha
"Yeah." Grisha said while taking out a PokeBall and enlarging it.
"Oh. Awesome Dad! Are you going to release her?" Eren said to his father excitedly.
"Yeah. Come on out Swoobat!" Grisha said after throwing the PokeBall into the Air.
Out of the PokeBall came out a healthy looking Swoobat, in Oak's opinion, and immediately headed to Grisha for him to pat her, which he did soon after and after being petted she went to Eren for him to pet her too and Eren did too.
The Swoobat even wanted Machamp to pet her and he did. Finally, Swoobat went to Professor Oak and leaned her head to him.
"Hehehe I think she wants me to Pet her." Oak said to Grisha with a smile on his head. Grisha just gave him the go ahead and Oak began to pet her.
"It's been a while since I've last seen a Swoobat or even a Pokemon from Unova at all" Oak said to Grisha while petting Swoobat's head.
"Really? Why is that? I thought you have seen every Pokémon there is?" Grisha questioned Oak.
"I have but its been a while and my memory isn't as good as used to be. I remember knowing about the other Region's Pokémon but its been a while since I've last seen one. This is a very healthy looking Swoobat by the way." Oak said to Grisha.
"Thank you but the credit goes to Karla and Eren since they are the ones that take care of her and the rest of my team since I work allot." Grisha answered Oak.
"I see. You have other Pokemon from the Unova region with you?" Oak questioned Grisha and at his nod he continued "What are they?"
"They are Swoobat, Gigalith, Reuniclus, Scolipede, Excadrill, Sigilyph." Grisha answered Oak.
"Really? Why haven't you brought them to the Corral then?" Oak said as he finished petting Swoobat and soon after she left to stand besides Grisha.
"I'll answer you as we walk. I think we've been standing long enough in the rain and besides we have to go and meet with the Ackermens." Grisha said to Oak.
"I guess your right. Well lead the way." Oak said to Grisha
"Very well, first and foremost, Swoobat can you place a Psychic shield around us to cover us from the rain please?" Grisha told Swoobat.
"Swooobaaaat" Swoobat said following her master's orders. Soon after her eyes started to shine blue and then a Psychic shield had manifested around the small group protecting them from the rain that had gotten a little bit stronger.
"Very good Swoobat. Do you think you can keep it all the way to the Ackerman's house?" Grisha asked Swoobat to which she nodded.
"Very well then let's head on Eren, Professor Oak" Grisha told both of them before starting to walk along the other two.
"Yeah I can't wait to see Mikasa again!" Eren said excitedly at the though of his friend.
"Mikasa?" Oak said while looking from Eren to his father.
"That's the daughter of the couple that I go visit and Eren's little girlfriend." Grisha said with a teasing smirk directed at Eren, who blushed with embarrassment at the statement.
"Daaaaddd! She's not my girlfriend she is just my friend." Eren said to his father still with the blush on his face. Oak and Grisha simply laughed at Eren's embarrassed form.
"Sure. Just a friend hehehe. Now go on a little in front us with Machamp. I have to talk with Professor Oak. Oh and Swoobat please expand the Psychic Shield a bit more please." Grisha told Eren and then asked Swoobat.
Swoobat soon did as told and expanded the shield a bit more. Soon after, with Oak's authorization, Machamp along with Eren on his arms headed a little bit further in front of both men. As Eren was from a distance that he couldn't hear both him and Grisha, they began to speak to each other.
"The Girl has a crush on him, doesn't she?" Oak asked Grisha.
"Yeah but he's to dense to figure it out." Grisha said and then Oak began to chuckle at Grisha's comment about his son.
"In fact, from what the mom has told me, Mikasa was heard praying to Arceus for her mother to continued being sick hehehe." Grisha said with an amused smile.
"Really? Why is that?" Oak said to Grisha a little shocked that a child would pray to keep one of their parents sick.
"No No no Mikasa doesn't mean it in a bad away its just that she believes that if her mother continues to be sick that I would come more often for her checkups and with me would be Eren, or at least that's what the mother told me." Grisha said to Oak but continued quickly before he responded "but don't think bad of her. Ever since Mikasa's mother got sick, she has been doing all the chores around their house when their father goes out to the city or goes hunting. From what the mom has told me Mikasa believes it was her fault her mother got sick and therefore wants to help her with doing all the chores in the house so that she wouldn't have to worry about doing them."
"Impressive. But how did that Crush came to be?" Oak asked Grisha.
"To be honest with you I don't know, not even the mother knows because Mikasa hasn't told her. The crush of Mikasa towards Eren just came to be but her mom and I think it occurred because of something Eren did for her but we'll just wait until Mikasa tell us." Grisha said to Oak.
"How interesting. Also like I previously asked you why haven't you been taking your Pokémon to my corral?" Oak questioned Grisha.
"Sigh Because they don't want to go Professor" Grisha said to Oak.
"What do you mean?" Oak asked again.
"Ever since the exile Professor, my Pokémon haven't been the same and not in a bad way. My Pokémon are just to overprotective of me and don't always want to leave my side. You have no idea how hard it was to convince them to stay at my house while I went to my clinic to work. Ever since I met Karla and had Eren they've changed a little but are still very overprotective of me." Grisha said with a sad look on his face while he was remembering what made his Pokémon that way.
Oak was going to ask what made Grisha's Pokemon so overprotective of him but decided against it after seeing Grisha's sad look. It wasn't Oak's place to question Grisha of such a personal matter and if he wanted to tell him he would listen. So, he left Grisha to settle his thoughts. So, the two men walked in a comfortable silence with the only sounds being the raindrops hitting the Psychic shield and Eren's laughing a few feet away from them. After a few minutes of silence Grisha spoke again.
"I'm sorry Professor, I was just remembering something." Grisha apologized to Oak.
"Don't worry about Grisha I won't question you anymore." Oak told Grisha.
"Thank you, Professor." Grisha thanked Oak
"Don't mention it but now that I know that you have more Pokémon than Swoobat we will need to have monthly check ups for them just so that I can see that everything is alright with them and if you want I can go to your house and do the check ups there." Oak said with a smile to Grisha.
"Thank you, Professor, and yeah I would greatly appreciate that. I'm mostly a human doctor only and my knowledge at Pokémon medicine and well being is rudimentary at best." Grisha said to Oak Sheepishly at the end.
Oak simply laughed at Grisha's sheepish look and then both of them just continued to walk towards the Ackerman house while talking about whatever came to their minds.
The walk was uneventful and the only other ones around where the local forest Pokémon that where trying to find shelter from the rain. Soon they saw the Xanadu Nursery and passed by it. Grisha told Oak that they were getting closer.
Oak's eyes lingered for a bit on the Xanadu Nursery thinking about it and how it came to be built close to Pallet Town. As it turns out the Xanadu Nursery belonged to the Hikami family of Celadon City and was built by the patriarch of the family and former Celadon Gym leader Takashi Hikami. The greenhouse was built for two reasons with the first being Takashi wanting to grow rare herbs and then combine them to make natural medicine that would help cure illnesses that common medicine could not cure. The second reason was because Takashi's wife wanted to grow beautiful and good smelling flowers to turn into perfume for her perfume shop.
The reason the couple chose the outskirts of Pallet Town was because the areas around Pallet Town had rich soil on it and also because Pallet Town had good weather all year around in it being not too cold and not too hot. With Oak's approval the Xanadu Nursery was built, and it has remained standing for the last 3 decades. The Nursery has had many caretakers thru out its life and the current ones were a young couple named Florinda Showers and Potter alongside their trusted Gloom. They were assigned by the Current Gym leader of Celadon City in one Erika Hikami, daughter of Takashi Hikami. Erika just like her father took care of the Nursery and came to do a monthly check up on it to see if everything was doing good and to this day there hasn't been any complaints.
Oak was brought out of his train of thoughts when Grisha called to him.
"There it is Professor just on top of that small hill." Grisha said while pointing at the house.
Oak simply nodded at this and continued his walk alongside Grisha.
The rain had lessened just a little bit, but it was still strong so Swoobat continued with her shield up.
After a walking a bit longer, the group had finally gotten to the house and soon after Grisha started knocking on the door. Strangely enough no one answered.
"Hmm I wonder why no one is answering. They should be there; I know I told them I was coming for a check up today." Grisha mused to himself.
"Do you think we should go in and see if their okay?" Oak asked Grisha.
"I think we should, just to be sure they are okay" Grisha agreed with Oak but then turned to Eren.
"Eren I want you to stay out here with Swoobat while me and Professor Oak go inside the house, Okay?" Grisha said to Eren.
"Sure, thing Dad." Eren said to his father.
"Also, Machamp will stay with you and Swoobat out here just in case" Oak said while looking at Eren and then at Machamp who nodded to him and then gave a thumbs up to Eren.
"Very well. Then let's go in Professor." Grisha motioned to Oak to follow him and Oak did just that.
Once they opened the door what they saw in there horrified them. Inside the house were the two corpses of the couple that lived there and the bodies of some Pokémon like Sentsret, Zigzagoon, Bidoof, Pachirisu, and a Mareep but most prominently there was the body of a Luxray that was barely alive. What the couple and the Pokémon had in common was that they were all cut by razor sharps claws which Oak figured were from a Bisharp, Weavile, and Syther. Oak knew that someone had probably given the order to those Pokémon to attack because the slashes were precise on the critical parts of a Pokémon's and Human's body. Oak was disgusted by this but even more by the "trainers" who had ordered that. Then Oak felt pity for those poor Pokémon because he figured that they would have been completely broken to do that because, contrary to the minority belief, Pokémon never attacked or even killed humans and for the Pokémon killing other Pokémon it only happened in nature for survival but mostly left each other alone. This was a massacre caused by those disgusting individuals.
Grisha was horrified by this but soon headed to the barely alive Luxray.
Oak was examining everything with a calculating look on his face. Unlike Grisha Oak had seen death and even caused some himself, and lots of it, before by participating in the War of the Regions. So, he was not bothered as much as Grisha was but still felt pity and prayed for the souls of all that died here.
As Oak was examining the scene around him, he started to get close to the woman's corpse and immediately his blood started boiling.
"What the hell is this!" Oak screamed in anger. Grisha heard Professor Oak's yell and headed towards him to see what got the man so furious but soon regretted his decision by what he saw.
"Professor what's wron-Gauuhhh" Grisha couldn't finish his sentence because he immediately vomited at the scene before him.
Outside of the house Eren was waiting Patiently for his dad and Professor Oak with Machamp and Swoobat. He couldn't wait to play with Mikasa while his dad was checking up on her mom. He was also curious to know why his dad and Professor Oak were taking a while. Then he heard Professor Oak's angry yell and started to worry but after hearing his dad vomit, he slipped out of Machamp's grip and headed into the house to see if his dad and Professor Oak were okay.
Machamp and Swoobat immediately tried to stop Eren from going into the house but they failed because Eren had caught both of them off guard.
Eren rushed into the house and immediately yelled for his dad and Professor Oak "Dad! Professor! Are you okay?" Eren asked but then ended in a low voice once he saw everything that was inside the house.
Oak saw this and immediately cursed under his breath and after seeing Grisha had not even noticed Eren's presence he took control of the situation.
"Machamp!" yelled Oak for his Pokémon and quickly the said Pokémon came into the house to follow his trainers' orders. Machamp paid no attention to the bodies and death around him and solely focused on his trainers' commands.
"Get Eren out of here and don't like him come back inside. Also stay on guard in front of the door. I want no one coming in or out until I tell you otherwise. Am I understood?" Oak said with a commanding and steel tone on his voice.
Machamp immediately followed his trainer's commands before bowing his head to him. This was the man that was feared by everyone, the man whose sole presence was enough to prevent criminals and other evil people from even getting close to Pallet Town, the man who brought chaos, death, and destruction to the enemy in the last war, this was not the kind old Professor Oak, this was the Legendary Pokémon Trainer Samuel Oak.
Eren was still in shock at what he was seeing that he did not even notice Machamp picking him up and taking him outside. Once he was outside, he immediately tried to get back in but Machamp wouldn't move an inch. Eren tried everything he could, he started kicking and hitting Machamp in the legs but he did not even feel it, he tried hitting Machamp with a stick but the stick broke in contact with Machamp's muscular legs, he even tried ordering Swoobat to attack and move Machamp but a shake from Machamp's head told Swoobat everything and she ignored Eren's orders. After a few more minutes of trying to no avail Eren gave up and sat down to a tree close to the house while crying. Swoobat worried because Eren had gotten out of her shield and now was being drenched by the rain and she was afraid he would get sick. So, as she was going to go to him Machamp laid one of his hands in Swoobat's wings, she looked back at him and he just shook his head again. Swoobat stared from Machamp to Eren but then nodded her head to Machamp and just let Eren be by himself for a while.
Back inside the house Oak was still staring at the woman's body to confirm his suspicions. Grisha had finished vomiting but did not head back to Oak and instead went to try and help the Luxray in any way he could. He then heard something break behind him but decided against turning around and just let Oak handle it.
Samuel Oak was angry no furious because his suspicions became true after examining more of the Woman's body. So, in his anger he broke a vase that was close to him with his bare fist. (A/N: When Oak gets pissed, he gets pissed)
(A/N: Scene a little m rated so skip ahead if you want if not you have been warned)
What Professor Oak saw, that made his blood boil, was the woman's body completely nude and with hit marks all around her and with semen all around her and dripping from her groin. The woman had also a dazed look in her eyes even thou she was dead. Oak got so furious because the bastards that did this had killed the man first then held the woman down and then drugged her with the Attract pheromones. The Attract Pheromones are very dangerous to humans and only Pokémon could handle it but if used on a human it could literally arouse them to the point of dying and that is what had happened to the poor woman. This meaning that the woman had basically become their sex slave to the point that she didn't care about anything the bastards did to her as long as they penetrated her.
(A/N: End of m rated scene. It wasn't very long, but I felt I needed to give the warning)
Oak was so mad at seeing the poor state the woman was left in but after seeing her face and cheeks, he almost cried of anger but controlled himself.
What Oak saw was the woman's face and how there were tear marks going down her cheeks. Meaning that the whole time the rape happened the woman was crying because she was literally trapped in her own mind while those bastards did whatever they wanted with her body because of being under the control of the Attract Pheromones. He figured the tears were of pain, sadness, anger, humiliation, shame, forgiveness and many more emotions Oak didn't want to think about because he did not want to get angrier than what he already was.
Oak let out a single sad Sigh and then closed the woman's eyes with his hand. He then took off the coat he was wearing and used it to cover the woman's body to conserve whatever dignity she had left.
"I am sorry for this. I promise you that those scum will face justice either by the police or by me. I promise you that once this is all over, I'll clean you up and give you and your husband a proper burial." Oak sadly said to the woman's corpse after covering her with his coat. Soon after Oak gave a small prayer for the woman and her husband, then he went to where Grisha was with the Luxray.
"Is he okay Grisha?" Oak questioned Grisha.
"He's barely hanging on Professor Oak; I don't know what else to do to ease his pain, he needs proper medical care from a Pokémon center if he is to survive." Grisha said to Professor Oak while softly petting Luxray's head.
"You know this Luxray?" Oak asked Grisha.
"Not that much all I knew was that he was the Husband's own Pokémon." Grisha responded to Oak.
"From a look at his wounds it seems he was triple teamed up once those other Pokémon killed the rest of the Pokémon and after the Husband and wife were killed." Oak concluded at seeing all the slashes around Luxray's body. Grisha nodded but soon asked Oak a very important question.
"What can we do to help him Professor Oak?" Grisha asked Oak.
"The only thing we can do now is catch him and then take him to Viridian's city Pokémon center so that he could have a proper medical treatment." Oak said answering Grisha while looking sadly at the Luxray.
"I guess so, but this was the husband's Pokémon, wont catching someone else's' Pokémon be considered a crime?" Grisha asked Oak.
"Under normal circumstances yes but this is a special case. Don't worry I'll deal with the consequences afterwards." Oak reassured Grisha.
"Very well, but I don't have any PokeBalls with me." Grisha said after realizing that fact.
"Don't worry I have a HealBall with me always just in case I ever come in contact with an injured Pokemon that needs help. The HealBall will capture Luxray and start healing him for a little bit until we take him to a nurse joy." Oak reassured Grisha who simply nodded in agreement at Oak's answer.
After seeing Grisha's nod of understanding, Oak took out a HealBall he had on one of his Pockets and, after enlarging it, gently tapped Luxray on the head. Soon afterwards Luxray turned into scarlet energy who then was sucked into the HealBall. The HealBall didn't even shake and simply "dinged" the moment Luxray went inside proving Luxray had no energy to fight back. After capture the HealBall started to glow a little green meaning that it was healing Luxray a little bit.
After putting the HealBall, with the now captured Luxray, inside his Pocket he silently thanked Arceus for Kurt's idea of the Healball but most importantly the Indigo League for accepting it. If the Healball hadn't been created Luxury would have died like the rest of the Pokémon laid around them.
"You could only imagine how hard the Luxray fought to protect everyone huh?" Grisha said to Oak after a little moment of silence.
"Indeed, fighting so much and not being able to do anything and watching your trainer and his family die right in front of your eyes. What a truly sad sight. I can only hope this event doesn't permanently affect Luxray." Oak said as he was rubbing his temples.
"I hope so too. What do we do know Professor?" Grisha asked Oak who was while still looking at the bodies around them.
"What else is there to do? All we can do is call the Police and the League for them to Open an investigation and figure out what happened and why." Oak said as he was looking at the horrific scene in front of him.
"What will happen to the bodies?" Grisha said before looking at Oak's form.
"We will bury them of course, it's the least we can do now." Oak simply said.
"Won't the League or the Police Department want their bodies to give an autopsy?" Grisha asked Oak but was surprised by Oak's answer.
"No" Oak said but continued "This happened in Pallet Town, MY territory and home and, just like Agatha's Lavender Town, the league knows that anything that happens in Pallet Town is my Business and that I will resolve it. The only reason I will be calling them is because I want them to investigate what happened. I simply don't have the time to investigate myself with everything I am currently doing, so I will leave that to the league and police but I will keep the bodies and give them a proper burial and if Lance or anyone in the league including Agatha have anything to say against that hehe then I guess my team and I will have to remind them who is Samuel Oak." Oak answered Grisha.
Grisha was amazed at the fire and determination in Oak's words and completely believed him. The legend that is Samuel Oak is known all over the 7 regions, so he knew that if the Indigo League tried to defy Oak then Oak would show them who he was.
"Very well" Grisah simply said.
"Good. Then let's take out the bodies outside and find a place to lay them to rest." Oak told Grisha and soon after called his Machamp and after telling Machamp what they were going to do they began gathering the bodies.
As they were doing this Machamp noticed a small doll under a table. At first Machamp was confused on what a doll was doing there and was just going to ignore it but decided to inform his trainer first.
After picking up the Doll with one of his hands, he went to his trainer and then tapped him in the shoulder to get his attention.
"What is it Machamp?" Oak asked his friend.
Machamp simply showed Oak the Doll and then gave it too him.
At first Oak was confused at why Machamp was showing him a doll but then came to a quick and frighteningly realization.
"Grisha didn't you say this couple had a young daughter named Mikasa?" Oak questioned Grisha with a dark tone in his voice.
"Yeah they did. What about her Professor?" Grisha asked Oak in confusion.
"Look at this" Oak said before showing the doll to Grisha.
Grisha was confused at first by the doll but soon his eyes opened in horror at the realization.
"Where is Mikasa!?" Grisha screamed.
"Let's look for her around the house. Maybe she hid herself. You help to Machamp." Oak tried to say calmly but was worried as Grisha was in fear of the young girl's safety. Machamp simply nodded and began to search around too.
Outside the house the rain had stopped but a cold front was beginning to be felt. Swoobat was starting to get worried but stayed outside to keep guard but still trying to look inside thru a window. She had completely forgot about Eren.
Eren was still looking at the house in worry after seeing Machamp go inside the house quickly. Once Machamp went inside he tried to go inside again but this time was stopped by Swoobat.
Eren was starting to get frustrated at not being able to help with anything and also felt fear for his friend's safety. As Eren got up, and after tying his red scarf closer to his face to keep him warm from the cold that was beginning to settle, he was going to try one last time to get in the house. As he was going to the house, he was able to notice a man in a black suit and hat walking on a dirt road that was close to where they were. He found it suspicious so started to follow the man, after Swoobat stopped paying attention to him.
Back inside the house Grisha, Oak, and Machamp had looked all over the house in hope of finding Mikasa but sadly couldn't find anything.
"Dam it she's not here." Grisha cursed.
"Did you find anything Machamp?" Oak asked his Pokémon and simply gave out a frustrated sigh at Machamps' shake.
"Dam it where could she be?" Grisha continued.
"Let's look around the forest. Maybe she fled and hid herself in the surrounding forest." Oak said trying to sound Hopeful. At Grisha's nod they all headed out the house to, after putting the bodies together, look for Mikasa.
After getting out the house, Swoobat immediately headed for her trainer in worry. Grisha simply petted her head to try and calm her down. By that point the two men and Pokémon didn't even feel the cold with all the adrenaline that was flowing thru them.
"Okay this is how ere going to do it. Grisha you go to the east and search there, Machamp you go to the west and look there, Swoobat you search the skies, and I'll go to the river and search there." Oak told his plan to everyone there. As they were about to head, Grisha realized something.
"Wait where is Eren?" Grisha said after realizing Eren was nowhere to be seen.
"I thought he was out here with your Machamp Professor?!" Grisha yelled at Oak.
"He was supposed to. Where is he Machamp?" Oak asked Machamp.
Machamp simply pointed at the tree they had left him but was shocked at not seeing him there and soon turned to Swoobat to ask her where Eren was. Swoobat was shocked by not seeing Eren there but soon realized Eren must have slipped her when she was trying to look inside the house.
"He slipped you, didn't he?" Oak asked Swoobat and got his answer in her Nod. He then began massaging his temples again and tried to remain calm at the situation but was finding it exceedingly hard too. Grisha on the other hand was completely livid.
"What do you mean he slipped your sight Swoobat? He's a Arcues dammed 8 year old kid and you're a Psychic! How could he slip you?!" Grisha scolded Swoobat.
Swoobat simply lowered her head in shame and sadness at her idiocy and her incompetence and even small tears were forming in her eyes because of her trainer's anger and scolding of her.
Oak saw that and decided to help Swoobat out.
"Grisha calm down. Getting angry or frustrated won't solve anything. Besides look at Swoobat and how hurt she is." Oak said to Grisha in hope of calming him down.
Grisha was about to yell at Oak but didn't follow thru because he knew Oak was right. Getting angry and frustrated will only make things worse and after seeing how hurt Swoobat was and the small tears in her eyes his anger vanished but was still worried.
"I'm sorry Swoobat, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you. I should have figured that you had your guard lowered because of you being worried for me. Isn't that right girl?" Grisha said trying to apologize to Swoobat while petting her head. Swoobat simply nodded but was happy her trainer wasn't angry with her anymore.
"It happens to the best of us, even Machamp here." Oak said in humor while pointing at the undignified Machamp.
"Hehe see it happens to everyone. That is not important now. Now we have to find Eren and Mikasa before they get hurt." Grisha said with determination and hope in his voice.
"Good, where do you think he would have run off too Grisha?" Oak asked Grisha.
"Knowing my son, he must have figured out that something had happened to Mikasa and went too look for her around the forest." Grisha said exasperated.
While they were there thinking of what to do next to find the two children, they were interrupted by a blood curling scream of pain and one of anger from somewhere in the forest. They could hear it because the forest was so quiet, even with the cold wind blowing.
"Dam it! Was that them!?" Grisha screamed in anger and worry.
"Only one way to find out. Let's go, I think I heard it coming from that way." Oak told Grisha while pointing at the area of the forest the screams came from.
"Lead the way Professor and Swoobat go ahead in front of us to where the Professor pointed and immediately come back to us if you see Eren or Mikasa or both of them." Grisha told Swoobat to which she nodded and headed of.
"Okay lead the way?" Grisha asked Oak but soon a sweat drop appeared behind of his head when he turned around to see Professor Oak being carried by Machamp on his shoulders.
"What? I'm old, I can't run as fast as I used. So, when this happens, I ask any of my Pokémon to carry me. Besides we need to be fast for this." Oak said towards Grisha.
"Uhh okay then. Then let's head out." Grisha told Oak to which he nodded. Soon after Grisha and a carried Oak were heading off into the forest to search for both Eren and Mikasa.
In the skies Swoobat was looking frantically around for any sing of Eren or that girl Mikasa. While she was flying and looking around, Swoobat was cursing herself for being so stupid in letting Eren slip pass her. She vowed that when this was all over that she would train herself more so that this would never happen again.
Soon she continued her search but was getting harder too see as nighttime was beginning to settle on the sky. She continued searching and searching but couldn't find anything. As she was about to leave to her trainer with no results, she heard a scream of her name coming from the ground. She couldn't tell if it was Eren but decided to follow the yell of her name. As she was getting lower, she began to hear her name more and more but then she was delighted to hear that the voice that was calling out her name was Eren. She continued to follow the voice until she was finally able to find Eren.
Swoobat had found Eren on a clearing ground in front of a house but she was happier at seeing the girl, she believed to be Mikasa, that was next to Eren. When she saw Eren she immediately headed towards him and was about to lick his face before Eren stopped her.
"Not now Swoobat." Eren told her in a hard tone.
Swoobat looked confused at Eren but then noticed that there was blood on Eren's clothing as well as in the girl. At first, she thought the blood was of Eren but after examining his body she found nothing, just a few bruises on his rib area and hand marks on his neck. When she noticed the bruises, she got even more worried that somebody had hurt Eren but was brought out of her mini freak out by Eren.
"Swoobat, are Dad and the Professor close by?" Eren asked Swoobat to which she nodded.
"Good then please go bring them here. I'll wait with Mikasa here until they get here." Eren said while looking at Mikasa.
Swoobat was going to refuse at first in not wanting to leave Eren alone again but after looking at the almost dead look in Eren's eyes, she knew something horrible must have happened here.
So, with Reluctance she flew of to find her trainer and the Professor to help Eren and the Girl.
Back inside the forest Grisha and Oak where still searching around to try and find where the screams came from, but it was getting harder to look as night was settling in.
"Do you think Swoobat has found anything Grisha? It has been a while since she left." Oak asked Grisha.
"Hopefully Professor." Grisha said with hope.
As they were continuing looking around, they heard a very familiar calling and instantly turned to it and lord and behold it was an out of breath Swoobat.
"Swoobat!" Grisha yelled to his Swoobat before racing over to hear along with Oak.
"Swoobat did you find Eren or Mikasa or Both?" Grisha asked worriedly. Swoobat smiled at her trainer and nodded. Grisha and Oak let out a sigh of relief they didn't know they had.
"Oh, thank Arceus. Do you think you have the strength to take us to them Swoobat?" Grisha asked the tired Pokémon to which she nodded.
"Good then please lead the way." Grisha said to Swoobat and soon after she started flying off with the two humans and Pokémon behind her.
"Let's go Professor Oak. We found them. Thank Arceus they are okay." Grisha said to Oak.
Oak didn't say anything but simply ordered Machamp to follow Grisha and Swoobat. Oak had noticed something in Swoobat's eyes that said that there was something wrong with Eren or Mikasa or both of them. He didn't want to say anything to Grisha so he quietly followed hoping that nothing to bad happened.
After a little while longer Swoobat had lead Oak, Grisha, and Machamp back to the clearing where the children were.
After seeing his son Grisha immediately sprinted to hug him. Oak on the other hand, after Machamp let him down his shoulders, started to examine what was going on.
The house that was here, he had no idea it was there to which he found strange since he knew the entirety of Pallet Town and its surrounding areas like the palm of his hand. But Oak putt it on the back of his mind for a later thought. Soon after Oak started to examine Mikasa with a calculating look. Oak knew something had happened here, if the look on her face said anything.
"That look should not be in any child's face" Oak thought to himself as he was looking at Mikasa.
"Eren what happened here?" Oak heard Grisha ask his son.
Soon afterwards Eren explained everything that happened.
(A/N: Going to be the same thing as in the Anime with just the changes being that Eren was able to get to them first, like in the anime, before they could unleash their Pokémon. The third person was dumb enough not to release his Pokémon and after hitting and trying to Choke Eren, Mikasa killed him to. Before anyone asks no Mikasa was not Raped or saw her mom get raped because she had hidden herself but was found out later. And that's it for that)
Professor Oak and Grisha Jager were shocked at what they were hearing and sad at what the two children had to do to save themselves. As it was getting colder and the children were seen shaking Oak decided to start a small fire to try and warm them up. He left Grisha to continue to examine his son to make sure he was okay. Afterwards Machamp quickly brought some dried firewood he had found, Oak quickly lit it up and soon after stood there to make sure the cold wind didn't blow out the fire.
"How could this day turn out like this?" Oak thought as he was looking at the fire. But was surprised when Grisha started to scold him.
(A/N: Think that scene in the Anime, of when they first met, but with a swoobat, Machamp, and Oak there watching that. Also put the music there too to add to the emotion)
"Dam it son I made it clear that I wanted you to wait outside the house. Do you even understand the magnitude of what you've done here today?" Grisha said to Eren with clear anger and worry in his voice.
"Sorry dad but I'm not going to feel bad for what happened. They were animal disguised as humans who needed to be put down!" Eren said to his father.
"Listen to yourself!" Grisha loudly said to his son at hearing how his kind, loving, an overactive son was speaking.
Professor Oak simply watched this and was not going to interrupt unless he needed too.
"By the time the Police, or the League, or even you and the professor got here they would have been long gone and you know it, we couldn't afford to wait!" Eren responded angrily to his father.
"That's not what I'm arguing about, you threw caution to the wind and survived by pure luck. Your strong yes but your too dammed young to be so casual about gambling with your life!" Grisha said to his son.
At that statement Eren got a dejected look on his face but spoke anyways "But I, I dint know how else I was supposed to save her."
At his son's statement Grisha's anger diminished and after letting out a small sigh, he stood up and looked at Mikasa and began speaking to her. Oak was silently listening on at everything in front of him.
"Mikasa remember me. We met a few times before when you were just a tiny little thing." Grisha gently said to Mikasa.
After a few moments of silence Mikasa spoke to him "Yes, Dr. Jager, so um… sorry can you just tell me how to get home…. It's cold… I'm tired" Mikasa said as she was covering herself up more with the coat Grisha lent her to cover her from the cold but continued with a sad tone in her voice "There is really nowhere else for me to go."
Grisha, Oak and the Pokémon all simply stared in sadness at seeing the young girl who has lost everything in her life.
"No child should have to go thru this" Oak thought to himself. Soon after the silence was broken when Eren started to walk towards Mikasa, all the while unraveling the scarf around him. Oak and the rest simply watched.
(A/N: Insert Ost Here)
As Mikasa was till looking to the ground in sadness, when she felt a warm clothing surround her face.
"Uh-uh" she said but soon realized it was the nice boy Eren that was doing that.
Eren simply continued to wrap her face in his scarf until he was done and after he finished, he began to speak to her "Don't worry you can keep it…. That outa keep you warm right?" Eren asked her with a tiny blush on his cheeks.
Mikasa simply stared at Eren for a while but then started to feel the warmth and softness of the scarf with her hand before speaking "I Think so."
Grisha, Oak, and the Pokémon were touched by the scene but then Grisha along with the Professor started to walk to the children.
"Mikasa how would you feel about coming to live with us?" Grisha asked her with the Professor alongside him.
"What?" Mikasa simply said.
"We can't even imagine what you've been thru, but I do know you need your share of rest." Grisha said to her.
"Grisha is right little one. Today has been a long day for everyone. We all need rest." Oak told her with a warm smile.
Mikasa looked at Oak in confusion not knowing who he is. Oak noticed that and decided to introduce himself to her,
"Where are my manners. My name is Professor Samuel Oak, and this is Machamp." Oak introduced himself after stretching his hand out to her and then pointed at Machamp, who gave a wave to Mikasa as a greeting.
Mikasa simply stared in confusion but decided to shake the Old man's hand.
"You should accept what Grisha proposed Mikasa. Sadly, there is nothing left for you here. I'm going to bury your parents and the Pokémon that died close by." Oak said sadly to her.
At the mention of her parent's death she got sadder but then she wondered about one Pokémon who was able to protect her for a little bit.
"I-Is Tiger alright?" she said worriedly.
"Tiger?" Grisha gently said to her.
"I think she means the Luxray we found Grisha. Is that correct Mikasa?" Oak asked Mikasa to which she nodded. Oak soon took out the HealBall Luxray was in and showed it to Mikasa.
"This right here is a HelBall and it is currently working on trying to heal Luxray. When we found him, he was barely clinging to life but after catching him with the HealBall and soon after taking him to a Nurse Joy, he will survive." Oak said with a warm smile to Mikasa because at least kin to a family survived the whole ordeal.
Mikasa was relieved to hear that Tiger would survive. He had fought valiantly to protect her and the rest of the family but was overwhelmed by a tripe assault.
Mikasa then started to think of what Grisha proposed to her and then asked her question "Dr. Jager do-do you really want me to join your family?"
"Of course, Mikasa. That is if you want too?" Grisha told Mikasa still with a warm smile on his face.
Mikasa still had doubts if that can truly be done. She was basically an Orphan with no parents and not known family left. (A/N: Wink Wink) Oak saw the look on her face and figured out what must have been her dilemma.
"Mikasa if your worried about the adoption prosses then don't worry. I have a few connections in the League and many people owe me favors. So, I will get your adoption papers complete for you to become a legal member of Grisha's family. The League or anyone else will not take you away, I give you my word on that." Oak said to Mikasa.
Mikasa still had heard doubts but then was a little surprised when Eren grabbed her hand while speaking to her.
"What's the Problem? Don't think about it, just come on. We got to get home." Eren told her.
Mikasa was shocked at Eren's words because he didn't have no doubt on them. Eren would truly accept her as a sister, even thou they didn't knew each other that much except for the times he'd come with Dr. Jager.
Mikasa then started to cry tears of joy at having a new family and not being left alone in the world and simply said "Yeah. Okay."
(A/N: End of Ost)
Grisha and Oak and the Pokemon simply smiled at that but then Oak turned towards the house before saying something to Grisha and the rest that were there.
"Grisha I think today has been a long day for all of you." Said Oak to Grisha.
"Yeah I think your right Professor." Answered Grisha to Oak.
"Good then I want you, the children, and the Pokémon to head back to Pallet Town for you to rest." Oak said to the group.
Grisha understood instantly what the Professor was going to do, and he just didn't have the energy left to go against him, the day had taken a huge toll on him. The children just didn't want to be there anymore and Swoobat was to tired as well.
The only one that didn't want to leave Oak alone was the Machamp. Oak saw his Machamp's look of worry and called for him.
"Machamp I have another job for you." Oak said while still looking at the house. At Machamp's gaze he continued.
"I want you to go with them because they are too tired to defend themselves and could be in danger if any Fearow or flock of Spearows or any other rabid Pokémon tries to attack them. You're the only one that could protect them Machamp. Besides when you get there, I want you to inform Charizard and Dragonite to meet me here as soon as possible. I would also call for Alakazam but I need him there to keep an eye on everything while I'm not there. I still don't trust Arcanine or Gyarados to look after everything knowing how they are. So Alakazam being there will calm my nerves down. Before I forget tell Alakazam to give my PokeNav to Charizard and Dragonite for them to bring it over to me, so I can call the League and the Police to inform them of everything that happened here. Also take the HealBall with you and give it to Alakazam and then tell him to take it to the Viridian City Pokémon Center so that nurse joy could give him proper medical treatment." Oak said to Machamp after giving him the HealBall where Luxray was.
Machamp was still worried at leaving his elderly trainer alone but followed his master's orders. He knew that, even thou he was old, his trainer could still defend himself if he needed to. So, he nodded in approval at Oak's commands.
Oak simply nodded right back to Machamp and then gave a few parting words to Grisha and the Children.
"Grisha, Eren, Mikasa, Swoobat head home, Machamp will escort you all the way to your house. Leave everything to me here. I'll handle the whole situation with the League and the Police." Oak said to the group of people and Pokémon, but then looked at Mikasa and spoke to her "Don't worry about your parents Mikasa. I promise I will give them and the Pokémon a proper burial."
Mikasa simply nodded in understanding but then said something to Professor Oak "Professor, can I see them one last time after you bury them?"
"Of Course, Mikasa" Oak said to her.
"Thank you" Mikasa thanked Oak.
"Very well then off you go. It is getting colder and night has already settled. Time for all of you to get some rest. Also, Grisha I want you to tell Karla everything that happened okay?" Oak told Grisha to which he Nodded.
"Good. Now go rest and try to forget this day. Tomorrow we will speak." Oak told the Group there.
After hearing that Grisha, the children, Swoobat, and Machamp headed out to Pallet Town.
Oak simply stared at their retreating forms until they were no longer visible.
Once they left Oak walked into the house that was there with a calculating and cold look on his face.
As Oak was walking thru the house, he was analyzing everything about it. He had no idea how it was built there without him knowing about it but swore it wouldn't happen again. He would tear this house down once Dragonite and Charizard got here and nobody will do a dam thing to stop him from doing it.
As Oak was continuing to look around, he saw a semi-open door with some blood on it and after seeing that he went to investigate that room.
What Oak saw inside shocked him to the core but also made him extremely furious.
What Oak saw where three bodies of three men who were obviously dead but what made his blood boil was when he saw a big red letter "R" on the chest of the men's clothing.
"Team Rocket." Oak said in a snarl.
Team Rocket were the cause of everything here. Oak was beyond furious that Team Rocket would have the balls to attack HIS home and cause all of this.
Oak knew of Team Rocket but decided to leave those criminals to the Indigo League and Lance.
Oak always figured that Team Rocket wouldn't dare to Attack his home because he was there protecting it, but this cowardly attack showed that they were becoming ballsy.
"Never Again" Oak said to no one in particular.
At that time Oak vowed to himself that he would never let this happen again. He would double up the Protection of Pallet Town and if he needed too, he would train his team again to make sure this never happened again.
After calming himself down, Oak started to examine the bodies that were littered around him.
Oak noticed that all the mans had a stab wound on their bodies that caused their deaths. One of the men had a stab wound in his chest, while another had multiple stab wounds on his chest, and the third had a stab wound but on his back.
As Oak was examining this, he noticed that a part of the floor was teared up by a great force that was implemented on it, he then found the knife with the blood.
Once Oak saw the knife, he gave out another sad sigh while rubbing his temples again.
"How sad that young children were forced to do this to protect themselves." Oak said to himself sadly after remembering what Eren told them on what he and Mikasa did.
As Oak was finished looking at the scene he started to walk out of the house.
Once he got out of there Oak felt a massive wind force that hit him, and almost dropped him, but was able to stay standing, he knew who this wind force belonged too.
In front of Oak landed his huge Charizard and Dragonite waiting for their Orders after Charizard gave his trainer his PokeNav.
Soon after Oak told them everything that happened and just like he expected they were furious that this happened in their territory. After Oak calmed them down, he began to speak.
"I am angry as you both are right now so once we get home, we will have a talk with the rest of the team to increase the safety and security of Pallet Town and its surrounding areas. This is OUR home, and no one messes with our home and gets away with it." Oak said to Charizard and Dragonite to which they both nodded.
"Good now then let's get to work before calling the League." Oak said to his Pokémon.
Afterwards Oak ordered Dragonite too take out the bodies that were in the house and bring them out so that the league can claim them. After Dragonite did that he ordered Charizard and Dragonite to use a Hyper Beam attack to completely destroy the house. The house was instantly vaporized by the combined Hyper Beam attacks and the only thing left was a huge crater.
After he did that, he along with Charizard and Dragonite, who was carrying the bodies of the Rocket Grunts, went back the Ackerman house.
Everything was still the same as he left them but this time, he will give them the proper burial they deserved.
Oak asked Charizard and Dragonite, who had dropped the bodies of the grunts at that point, to gather the rest of the bodies up and bring them outside except for the wife, he would take care of that one himself.
Charizard and Dragonite did what they were told to do and gathered the bodies outside. Once they were done, they waited for their trainer to come back out.
Oak came out of the house wile carrying the women bridal style. Afterwards he called Dragonite and Charizard to behind of the house with him.
Afterwards he took of the coat Oak had put over her to clean her body as much as he could.
Charizard and Dragonite just felt pity for the poor soul after seeing her body and the horrible and humiliating condition it was left in.
"Dragonite I need you to use the smallest Water Pulse you can muster to clean up this poor girl's body. I will not leaver her in this humiliating state anymore." Oak said to Dragonite.
Dragonite nodded and used the smallest Water Pulse he could create to clean up the poor girl. As she was being soaked, and everything was coming of her, Oak was gently and respectfully cleaning her body with the Coat he put on her since he didn't have anything to clean her up with since he forgot to tell Machamp to tell Charizard and Dragonite to bring a towel and some clothes for her.
"Dam my old age." Oak cursed himself but then thought of something.
"Charizard go back to the corral quickly and tell Alakazam to give you a few towels to properly dry her up and clean her and some clothes to put on her, I don't want to bury her in her nude form." Oak told Charizard to which he nodded and immediately flew off quickly to Pallet Town.
Once Charizard left, Oak continued to clean the poor girl the best he could but suddenly started sneezing for a little bit and soon after he felt his head and cheeks warm.
"I must be catching a cold. It's no surprise since I'm being drenched too." Oak concluded to himself after touching his forehead with his hand.
Dragonite also noticed this and started to worry for his trainer. Oak saw the look in Dragonite's face and soon tried to reassure his old friend.
"It's okay Dragonite, a little cold won't stop me. You know I've been thru worse, and I've come out on top. So, continue with the Water Pulse I'm almost done, and I think Charizard should be here quickly enough." Oak told his Dragonite with a smile to reassure him.
Dragonite was still worried but believed his trainer because he was right Oak had been thru worse and when he sets his mind to something not even Distortion itself would stop him. So, he continued while trying not to soak his trainer.
After a few more minutes everything had come off the poor girl and soon after Charizard returned with the Towels and clothing. All the while Oak's face was getting redder and he was sneezing more and was starting to get dizzy, but his sheer will to help the woman and the husband and the Pokémon kept him going.
While Oak was drying the Woman's body off, Charizard and Dragonite where watching their trainer with admiration and respect. Their Trainer was risking getting sick to help this poor family that was slain without mercy. In this simple action their trainer had earned even more of their respect and complete loyalty. Soon their attention was brought back to him when Oak called for Charizard.
"Charizard" Achooo "Sniff, I need you to come here and use the weakest Heat Wave you can create to completely dry the poor girl off." Oak said while sneezing and sniffing and wiping his nose at the end.
Charizard obeyed, still worried for his trainer, and came to his Trainer and the girl's body. He then produced the smallest Heat Wave he could and was able to dry up the girl and his trainer.
"Thank you Charizard. Now I need you and Dragonite to create a small grave for us to bury this family. I know that you both don't know any ground type moves but do you think you can do it?" Oak questioned his Dragonite and Charizard.
Charizard and Dragonite nodded without a doubt and went to fulfill their trainers order to the best of their abilities.
After Charizard and Dragonite left, Oak began put on proper clothes for the woman so that she could be buried properly. After dressing her up in a purple dress that belonged to Claudia, and some underwear, Oak laid her there for a moment and then started to wipe off the blood of the husband and the Pokémon. After a few minutes he was done and Charizard and Dragonite came back.
"Did you do it?" Oak questioned his Pokémon. Dragonite and Charizard nodded in approval.
"Good. Before we bury them there is one last thing we need to do." Oak said again but continued quickly "we need to burn this house down." Charizard and Dragonite looked questioningly at their trainer at his declaration and at seeing their look Oak continued but this time while looking at the house "I want this bad memory to be erased completely."
Dragonite and Charizard nodded and waited for the go ahead to burn the house down. That is until their trainer put his hand out motioning them to stop.
"Let me see if there is anything left inside so that I could give it back to Mikasa." Oak said as he was going inside the house one last time. Charizard and Dragonite waited for their trainer patiently.
After a few minutes Oak came back outside but the only thing that he brought with him was some clothes, and the Doll they found there. Oak look dejected at only being able to find those items and nothing more for Mikasa to remember her family but figured this would do. Better to have something rather than nothing.
After Oak came out he stood in front of Charizard and Dragonite and spoke to them "Dragonite I want you to move all the bodies a little further back from us so that they won't get burned by Charizard's flame and then I want you to get back here." Oak commanded his Dragonite and Dragonite went to do his assignment quickly.
"Charizard you wait with me here until Dragonite is done." Oak told his Charizard who nodded and stood besides his trainer while he was watching the house.
Soon Dragonite was done with his assignment and went back to Oak. Now both Charizard and Dragonite were besides Oak ready for their orders.
Oak simply continued to stare at the house before giving his orders out "Charizard use you Fire Blast to burn down the house and continue with Flamethrower until the house is nothing but Ash and Dragonite once you see the house is completely burned down, I want you to use your waterfall attack to put out whatever remains of the fire." Oak commanded both his Charizard and his Dragonite.
Both Nodded and used their attacks. Charizard fired his Fire Blast attack. Once the Fire Blast attack hit the house it immediately caught on fire and was beginning to burn but Charizard did not stop there and fired a continually Flamethrower attack to burn down the house quicker.
Oak simply stared at the burning house with an unreadable expression on his face. The fire lasted for a little while but once the house was nothing but Ashes, Dragonite used his Waterfall attack to put out whatever remained of the fire.
While Dragonite was doing that Charizard had gotten closer to his trainer for him to be warm and not get soaked more than what he was a few minutes ago.
Oak continued to watch with an Emotionless face until Dragonite was done. After Dragonite was done Oak stepped forward.
What was once a house where a happy family used to live and where their lives ended abruptly, was nothing more than a black mark on the ground.
Oak simply sighed at this and dipped his head to where the house once was. Soon afterwards he spoke to Dragonite and Charizard.
"We're done here. You both bring the bodies back to where I told you to make the grave." Oak told both of them. They nodded and carried the bodies to where they were going to bury them. Oak nodded at this and once they had the bodies, they started to walk to the gravesite Dragonite and Charizard created.
As they were walking towards the gravesite Oak was starting to get more Dizzy and his fever was rising but Oak didn't pay attention to it and continued walking. That cold was not going to stop him. Oak's Pokémon continued to watch on worriedly but said nothing and followed their trainer.
They soon arrived at the gravesite and Oak was impressed that Dragonite and Charizard were able to make a decent gravesite while not knowing and ground type attacks.
"Good work to the both of you" Oak told Charizard and Dragonite who simply nodded their heads to Oak.
"Now drop the bodies and follow me. We need to do one final thing before we bury them." Oak said again.
Charizard and Dragonite nodded again and, after dropping off the bodies, followed their trainer to wherever he wanted them to go.
Oak, Charizard, and Dragonite walked a little while from the gravesite but not too far away. They soon stopped and Oak turned towards them both, now with a completely red face and snot from his nose but still a respect and authority aura being emitted from him.
"Now Charizard, Dragonite the reason I brought you hear is because I want the both of you to create a strong glass casket for us to put the bodies inside of it. I wont just throw dirt over them. I promised them and Mikasa that I would give them a proper burial and by Arceus I will give them a proper burial." Oak said while looking at his Pokémon, who nodded in understanding.
"Good. The way were going to do this is with Dragonite summoning a huge Rock using Rock Tomb and then you both are going to use Brick Break until you shape it into a perfect three dimensional rectangular casket. After you shape it I want you both to super-heated up and then turn it into Glass using a Combined Flametrower attack and once it is turned into glass I want you Dragonite to cool it down with Water Pulse without breaking it. Am I understood?" Oak told his Pokémon to make sure if they heard him and understood. They nodded and headed to do their work. (A/N: I don't know if it really works like that so just roll with it please)
While Charizard and Dragonite where doing their job, Oak was checking his PokenNav too see what time it was, he would call the league later; he wanted to get this done first. He saw that it was already 11:30 at night. Oak sighed at this and as he was watching Charizard and Dragonite continuing their work he thought about everything that happened this day.
"How could a simple visit turn out like this?" Oak asked himself.
Oak just thought that today was going to be a normal day with him meeting a new family and interacting with them, but this day turned out to be very bad. Oak promised himself that this was never going to happen again and once this day ended, and he healed from the cold, he was going to move heaven and earth to make Mikasa a legal adopted member of Grisha's family.
Then a scowl settled in his face as he remembered those Rocket grunts that caused all of this. He will never let a Rocket Scum get even near his home anymore. Oak blamed himself because of his leniency on the security of Pallet Town but promised he would increase security. He wouldn't count on his reputation anymore to keep the Rockets away. He would be proactive and increase the security. He will have Dragonite patrol the skies around Pallet Town every day for a few hours so that nothing like that house was ever built again, he will have Machamp along with Arcanine patrol the forests around Pallet Town for them too see if anyone unwanted was getting close to Pallet Town, he will have Charizard and Gyarados be the defenders of Pallet Town if enemies got into Pallet Town, and lastly he will have Alakazam increase his Psychic barrier to surround the entirety of Pallet Town and the Areas around it so that if anyone entered Pallet Town with evil intentions Alakazam would be the first to know and inform Oak. Oak had everything planned out already.
Soon afterwards Charizard and Dragonite finished and Oak went too inspect their work. Thankfully Charizard and Dragonite were able to build a perfect Glass casket on which the Ackerman family would lay to rest forever.
"Good work both of you. Now pick it up and bring it over to the gravesite" Oak said as he was leading ahead.
After their trainer gave the order, Charizard and Dragonite picked up the Glass Casket on their massive shoulders and started following their trainer.
In a few minutes they had reached the gravesite and Oak motioned for them to put the casket down.
"Put all of them inside gently and I'll fix their position later" Oak told his Pokémon.
Dragonite and Charizard did as they were told and, after Dragonite used a Metal Claw to open the Glass Casket, they laid the bodies there.
After Oak saw they were done he stepped forward and started to fix the Positions of the bodies. Oak had put the bodies of the wife and husband together and had linked their hands together. For the Pokémon, he put them gently around the bodies of the couple in a position as if they were sleeping around them. Lastly, Oak closed the eyes of the bodies so that they could be laid. Once Oak was done, he stepped out of the casket, closed it, and walked back to Charizard and Dragonite.
"Charizard seal the casket with a small with a Fire Punch while drag in it where Dragonite used his Metal Claw to open it and Dragonite you use again a small Water Pulse for it to be cooled and sealed tight." Oak commanded his Pokémon.
After hearing their orders Charizard and Dragonite headed to continue their work. Charizard used a small Fire Punch but instead of hitting the Casket with his fire covered fist, he just dragged his flame covered claw along the edge were Dragonite used his Metal Claw to open it. As Charizard was dragging his Fire Fist over the edge of the casket, it was starting to heat up and melt back together. Once Charizard was done Dragonite stepped up and used a small Water Pulse to cool down the edge of the casket so it could be completely sealed up.
Once both had completed their assignment, Oak stepped up and started analyzing the casket and then knocking on it with his fist too see if it was strong enough to hold off the pressure of the dirt that was going to be dropped on it. After hitting it for a little while longer and making sure it was strong, he was satisfied with Charizard's and Dragonite's work.
"Good work again to the both of you." Oak said while petting their scaly and rough heads. Charizard and Dragonite simply leaned in into their trainer's touch.
"Now time to fulfill my Promise. Dragonite, Charizard lower the casket into the gravesite as gently as you can and make sure to not move the bodies at all." Oak said in a stern tone.
Charizard and Dragonite did as they were told. They both picked up the Glass casket gently and then went into the hole they had made, which thankfully was big enough for both of them to fit so they could put the casket down gently.
While Oak was observing this, he was starting to sneeze more, and his face had gotten much redder, he could feel, but he willed his body to continue standing until he was done with everything.
Afterwards Charizard and Dragonite flew back out the hole and stood in front of their trainer for his following orders. Oak then started to walk to the gravesite and stood over it looking down at the family and the Pokémon one last time before the dirt was thrown in.
"Sigh" Oak sighed "Good we're almost done here. Now fill back up the hole with the dirt you dug out and once it is completely filled up, I want the both of you to use you Stomp attack on top of the dirt to make it hard like the ground. I'll look around to see if there are a few flowers around so that I can put them on top of it." Oak told his Pokémon.
His Pokémon nodded and began to fill up the hole with the dirt they dug out.
As Oak was watching, and before he went too look for a few flowers, he took out his PokeNav and began to call the Indigo Champion Lance. He knew Lance would still be awake at this time.
After a few rings, Lance's face appeared in the screen of the PokeNav and he immediately started talking.
"Hello?" Lance said but then realized that on the other line was Professor Oak.
"Professor! How've you been? Why are you calling me this late at night? You would usually be in bed by now and I know we haven't assigned you anything for you to work on. So why are you awake? Most importantly why is your face so red? You look like your getting sick? Also, where are you and what are those noises, I hear from your side?" Lance fired question after question.
"Let me explain everything" Oak said with a serious face.
Lance was surprised by Oak's serious face, since he was always carefree and happy, but immediately went all business mode and listened intently to the old Professor. If the professor was serious then something serious must have happened.
"I'm listening Professor" Lance said while leaning with his hand on his desk and under his chin.
So, Oak explained everything that had happened day. From the moment they stepped out of Pallet Town to the Phone call between him and Lance and everything in the middle.
Oak also told Lance about what he did with the houses and what he was currently doing right now. He also told him about Mikasa and how he was not going to let anyone take her and that he would make her a legal adopted member of the Jager family of Pallet Town. He also told him where he left the bodies of the Rocket Grunts and the PokeBalls that had those broken Pokemon. He told Lance that he could do whatever he wanted with them. He informed him that he was going to increase the security of Pallet Town. He also warned him that he didn't want this incident to go public and be all over the news tomorrow and that he didn't want no League personnel to try and interview Mikasa, or Eren, or Grisha, his report that he was telling him should be enough.
Lance was listening intently at everything and was beginning to get a headache. He knew that Team Rocket was becoming a problem but to do this to Oak's territory was so ballsy of them. He knew Oak was going to ask him those demands, and he knew he was going to comply because they needed Oak's help. Lance knew they couldn't lose the support of Professor Oak and his Pokémon, so he complied to Oak's last requests.
"Don't worry about anything Professor. Leave everything to me once I get there with the Ace trainers. I'll handle the Police and deal with the Rockets. I promise you Professor that we won't let any other Rocket get even close to Pallet Town." Lance finally said to Oak.
"That's all I can ask for Lance" Oak said to Lance.
"Good now just send me the coordinates of the location you left the bodies of the Rocket grunts and I'll head there with my ACE trainers and the police." Lance told Oak.
Oak nodded and began typing the coordinates of the location where he left the bodies of the Rockets. Soon after Lance received the coordinates.
"I got them professor. I'll head out now and I want you too get home and rest and heal yourself up. You've been out in this rainy day and freezing night for far too long now. Your cold looks bad and I can see that you're about to drop. So please go home. At your age a cold could be dangerous." Lance told Oak worriedly.
Oak gave a sly smirk at Lance statement of Oak's age and told him "What are you trying to say Lance? That I'm so old that I can't handle a little cold?"
"Hehehe of course not, you're the great Professor Oak and besides you don't look and age beyond 30." Lance replied slyly back to Oak.
"Hahaha! Man, this generation has no respect for their elders." Oak said while laughing and soon after Lance joined him. After a few laughs and jokes, lance spoke again.
"Go home Professor, you've done enough. Leave whatever is rest too me." Lance told Oak.
"I will I just have to fulfill my promise and I'll leave once I've done that. In fact, I think Charizard and Dragonite are nearly done." Oak said as his face momentarily went from Lance to his Pokémon, who as Oak foretold where almost done and all that was left is them stomping on the dirt to harden it.
"Very well but once you're done, I want you to go back home and check yourself up with a doctor. Okay?" Lance told Oak who nodded in understanding.
"Good then I'll be heading out there right now. Goodbye Professor Oak and have a goodnight and sorry about everything." Lance said to Oak.
Oak simply nodded and then the screen turned black. Afterwards Oak sighed and put his PokeNav away. After putting it away he heard Charizard and Dragonite give their Final Stomps on the ground before it stopped. Afterwards Charizard and Dragonite came back to their trainer and waited for further instructions. Then Oak went to the flatten ground to examine to make sure it was good. After he did that he spoke.
"Excellent work both of you. Now let's finish it up. Dragonite use your Rock Tomb attack right here" Oak stepped on a place that was mere inches away the sealed casket "but summon a single rock. That will be the headstone for whoever passes know who is buried here. They won't be forgotten." Oak paused but continued soon after "Charizard you wait further instructions."
Charizard and Dragonite nodded and then Dragonite used his Rock Tomb to summon a single Rock where his trainer said to summon it.
Dragonite hit the ground but instead of summoning many Stones, like the Rock Tomb attack normally does, Dragonite was able to focus it to summon a single Stone.
Once Oak saw Dragonite was done he said "okay, now Charizard and Dragonite brake down that giant stone into a normal size tombstone using a continuous Brick Break from the both of you."
Charizard and Dragonite obeyed their trainer's orders and began to hit the stone with their Brick Break to give it shape.
As they were doing that Oak started to rummage inside the backpack, he brought for something he was going to give to the family as a welcome gift. As he was searching his vision was becoming blurry and hazy and he could feel small tears forming on his eyes. Oak figured it was his cold that was causing that, if his continuous sneezing and coughing were anything to go by but he continued his search. After a little more searching Oak found what he was looking for in a beautiful flower bouquet he was going to give to the family for them to plant and grow.
"Wow even after being in my backpack for so long they still look fresh and good. They even resisted the rain and cold this day brought. I'll need to have one of my workers come here and make sure the flowers don't dry out or freeze to death," Oak said to himself while looking at the bouquet of flowers.
Oak then heard Charizard and Dragonite stop hitting the stone and turned around to see they were able too reduce it to an acceptable size.
"Good work. Now I need two final tasks from you and we will be done here," Oak said and at their nod he continued "Dragonite I want you to use your paws to dig some small holes in the ground so that you can plant these flowers around the gravesite, I don't want it to look so plain and dull. Also, I want you to use Safeguard on all the flowers you plant, just for them not to be affected that hard by the cold weather and rain that's approaching. It is almost winter after all." Oak told his Dragonite who obeyed and then began his work after Oak gave him the bouquet of flowers.
"Now as for you Charizard I want you to use your Metal Claw on the stone to carve out the following," Oak said then whispered into his Charizard's ear.
Charizard began right after hearing what was he supposed to write on the stone. He began using his Metal Claw attack to carve on the stone while Dragonite was making small holes to plant the flowers and then using Safeguard to protect them from the cold. All the while Oak waiting patiently but starting to feel even worse as his cold was getting stronger because of him being outside for so long.
"I'm going, sniff, to definitely feel this in the morning…Achoo," Oak said while he sniffed then sneezed. He ignored it until he was done here.
Oak didn't wait long because both Dragonite and Charizard had finished their tasks and, as usual, Oak went to see how good they did their job. After feeling the smoothness of the carving and that the flowers were planted well and protected with Safeguard, he knew Charizard and Dragonite had done an excellent job.
(A/N: Imagine any pretty burial ground with flowers around it and a single gravestone on it and go with that. I can't give a vivid description sorry)
"You both have been a great help through all of this. I can't thank you enough," Oak said to his two oldest friends who nodded in return at him.
Oak then turned one last time to the gravesite and then ran down his hand on the gravestone before speaking to it.
"I am so sorry this had to happen to the both of you and your Pokémon. I could only guess how hard all of you must have fought back. I was supposed to meet all of you today. I had no idea you were living just outside of Pallet Town behind the Xanadu Nursery, so when Grisha told me I was surprised but told him that I wanted to meet you," Oak said but then stop to regain his breath.
After regaining his breath, he continued but this time with a sad smile on his face "I make it a hobby of mine to introduce myself to all that come to live in Pallet Town. So, let me introduce myself, my name is Samuel Oak and I am a Pokémon Professor and protector of Pallet Town. Behind me are two of my oldest friends and guardians of Pallet Town in my Dragonite and Charizard," Oak kept telling the Gravestone all the while Charizard and Dragonite remained quiet.
Oak then began telling the deceased family everything about him, his family, and the residence of Pallet Town. Oak then got a sad look on his red face.
"I am sorry this happened to you. Its all my fault, if I only had had anyone of my Pokémon patrol the outside of Pallet Town I would have known of you and this would have never happened," Oak said as tears were falling down his eyes but this time those tears were of sadness for the poor family.
"If only I had been more careful none of this would have happened and you would have still been here with your daughter and she wouldn't have been forced to do what she did to save herself and Eren," Oak Said with a tear stricken face but continued "I-If I would have been more careful and not get overconfident, the wife wouldn't have went thru that horrible experience." Oak said to the dead family.
"I promised Claudia that I would protect everyone in Pallet Town and yet I can't even do that. Hehe guess I really am a useless old man," Oak said to himself
Soon Oak felt a pair of Paw and Clawed hands touch his shoulders and after turning around Oak saw that it was Dragonite and Charizard with a look of calm anger towards Oak.
The reason they were angry at Oak was because he was calling himself a useless old man and both of his oldest friends would not dare their trainer ever think that about himself. Their trainer was a great man and trainer that always tried his best to handle everything and not get overwhelmed by any situations. So, they will not stand for him demeaning himself like that. Besides they also share some of the blame for not taking initiative and patrol around Pallet Town.
Oak could have guessed what his Pokémon were thinking. He simply gave a small laugh before speaking.
"Thank you Charizard, Dragonite. I needed that look. I honestly couldn't have asked Arceus for better Pokémon than the both of you. You both sure are great." Oak said to his Pokémon who gave a sincere smile to their trainer.
"I am so sorry, but I promise to all of you that this will never happen again to anyone else. I promise all of you that Mikasa and Luxray won't be left alone. Mikasa will be adopted into a loving family and Luxray will go with her after he's healed. I promise those two won't be separated since Luxray is Mikasa's last family member. In fact, I'll even make it so that Luxray will be Mikasa's second starter along the starter Pokémon she will receive from me. Mikasa will get treatment so that she can slowly heal from this traumatic event. I also promise you that I'll bring her and Luxray back here for the both of them to say their goodbyes to all of you. I swear to all of you that I will keep these promises of mine if my name isn't Samuel Oak." Oak said to the dead family.
Afterwards Oak stood up and after giving one silent prayer for the family, he spoke again to his Pokémon.
"Charizard, Dragonite we're done here. Let's go home," Oak told his Pokémon who simply nodded at him.
Oak then picked up the Coat he had used for the girl and his backpack and then started to dizzily walk away after giving the Gravesite one last look. Dragonite and Charizard were slowly walking behind him.
As they were walking a small cold breeze hit Oak's body that made him shiver and made him sneeze more. Charizard and Dragonite immediately went in front of their trainer to protect him from the cold winds that were blowing. Oak paid no attention to that and just smiled. Dragonite and Charizard didn't notice their trainer smiling and just continued forward in front of Oak.
What made Oak smile was a simple whisper he heard in the wind.
"Thank you," was what the small whisper in the wind said.
(Back at the gravesite and zooming in the Gravestone)
The Gravestone said the following: "Here lies the Ackerman family. A loving Family that was taken from this world too soon. They might be gone but they will never be forgotten. Their Legacy will live on their daughter Mikasa Ackerman and loyal Pokémon Luxray.
Under that message that Oak had Charizard engrave on were the names of the couple and their Pokémon.
"In loving memory of Haruto Ackerman, valiant father and beloved husband."
"In loving memory of Hana Ackerman, loving mother and beloved wife."
"In loving memory of Sentsret, Zigzagoon, Bidoof, Pachirisu, Mareep, valiant Pokémon who fought valiantly to protect their owners.
(A/N: Flashback end)
"What a sad past that poor girl had to endure," Oak said while taking a sip of his morning coffee. As Oak what reminiscing about Mikasa's past he had finished clothing himself and he had even made coffee for him.
As Oak had figured, Karla was beyond furious with Grisha for letting everything that happened happen but because of Oak talking to her she was able to calm down and accepted Mikasa as part of her family. The adoption process was not that a big issue for someone like Professor Oak, so he was able to finish the adoption process for Grisha relatively fast. Luxray had survived after being treated by nurse Joy in Viridian City and was given back to Mikasa.
Oak could still remember how happy Mikasa and Luxray were when they were reunited. Ever since they were reunited Luxray had become the 24/7 protector of Mikasa and wouldn't let anyone near her, not even her own new adopted family. Oak could understand knowing that Mikasa was the last family he had with his master's death, but Oak knew it wasn't healthy so after a long talk with Alakazam, Luxray started to let more people talk with Mikasa. However, Oak knew Luxray would want to go with Mikasa when she began her journey later today, but he would allow it, he was the Samuel Oak after all, he could bend the rules a little bit.
Then Oak's mind drifted to how he had Eren and Mikasa do a monthly Psychic checkup with his Alakazam just to make sure they were mentally stable and healthy and thank Arceus they were given the okay by his Alakazam to go on their journey. Thru the love and support of her new family, but especially Eren, Mikasa was able to get past that awful experience. Oak had also kept his promise of taking Mikasa and Luxray to their parent's/owner's grave for them to say their final goodbye to them. As expected, they cried but promised their family that they will never forget them and that they will continue to move on for their sake.
As Oak had also promised, to himself, he made sure he told the Xanadu caretakers to take care of the flowers and vegetation around the grave and too make sure it was always clean and tidy. Then Oak remembered how sick he had become that night and how literally all of Pallet Town was outside of his lab praying for his betterment.
Oak gave a happy smile at how much the people of Pallet Town cared for him but then a small scowl formed on his face as he remembered the Rocket grunts. Ever since that day, and Oak's increased security of Pallet Town, no other Rocket grunts had been seen on Pallet Town. Oak also remembered the long talk he had with Professor Elm about an antibody against the Attract pheromone for humans, after telling most of what happened that day. As was expected Elm was horrified and vowed to find something for Oak. He has been working on that ever since. Oak had finished his coffee already and had put it down.
"Sigh," he sighed "That poor girl didn't have the best beginning but thanks to Eren, Grisha, and Karla, she has had a good life to this day." Oak said to no one as he was walking to his lab.
As he was passing by many of his assistant researchers were giving him his good morning greetings and he respectfully and kindly replied back with a good morning too.
As he was walking to his lab his mind drifted off, again, to his grandson Gary. Over the years, after he apologized to Ash, Gary had grown a little more exuberant, was the word Oak used to describe his grandson now.
Gary was no longer overly arrogant, he was still a little arrogant but not over the top, and for some strange reason started to always scream, at random times, about the "power of youth." Oak had no idea what that meant but he saw that his grandson had changed for the better with him not bullying or billeting the other children anymore. In fact, nowadays Gary would motivate other children to try better and he even got a small cheerleader group following him around. Whenever Gary would fail at something, he promised he would do better and try again until he did it. The most interesting part of Gary's change was his relationship with Ash. They were "friends" to a degree, but Gary one day told Oak that he had declared Ash to be his "eternal rival." Ever since that day Gary always tried to outshine Ash in whatever way he could in being at school, the corral, Pallet Town, even in some certain aspects of their bodies, with all the contests they did.
Oak gave a small laugh at this interesting change in his grandson and remembered the current score was in Ash's favor with 50 wins (Ash) 49 wins (Gary).
"What an interesting grandson I have," Oak mused to himself.
As he was remembering Ash and Gary's rivalry, he started remembering how Ash had been a great help here in the corral. How Ash was loved by all the Pokémon, especially a certain "unique" snake, and the elderly of Pallet Town.
"He is going to be missed allot," Oak said to himself.
As Oak was continuing to walk, he had reached the door to his lab and then went in. Oak walked to a small platform that had three Poke balls on it, that were the three starters that were given to all beginning trainers. He then got the three Pokeballs and touched the release button on all of them for the Pokémon to come out so that he could give one final checkup.
In front of him Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle appeared in a flash of light. Then Oak started to speak to them.
"Alright you three, today is the day that beginning trainers are going to come and choose one of you as their starter. Understand?" Oak told the Pokémon who nodded, and Oak continued after their nod "Alright now I am going to do one last checkup on you guys just to make sure everything is okay with you."
The Pokémon nodded again, and Oak began his last check up on them before Eren, Mikasa, Gary, and Ash came to get their starters. As Oak was doing this, he felt proud at how Ash, Gary, Mikasa, and even Eren were able to graduate at the top of their class an therefore the one who were chose by Oak and the local school committee to get their starters first, the other children would have to wait until Oak got another batch of starters for him to give them. At first there was a dilemma because there were only three starters and four soon to be trainers that graduated at the top of their class, but Oak already had a plan on how to deal with that. The committee wanted to know Oak's plan, but he refused to tell them saying it was a surprise, so they decided to trust the old Professor and let him handle it.
After a few more check ups Oak was finally done and spoke to the Pokémon again.
"Okay you all seem to be in perfect health," Oak said and after the few happy growls he heard from them he continued "Hehe Okay now I want you to behave yourselves with the new trainers that are going to come in. Also, I want to wish all of you the best of luck on your journey with your trainer. Remember your trainer will not only be your master but your friend as well and his/her team will be your family. Become the strongest you can and remember to have fun. I expect to hear great things from all of you in the future."
The three Pokémon simply smiled and nodded at the good Professor, and soon after Oak returned them to their PokeBalls and then put them down on the platform where he originally got them from.
After giving a smile to the three PokeBalls, Oak pressed another bottom in the Platform and a fourth PokeBall came out the platform.
Oak picked up the PokeBall and then looked at it in sadness before speaking "I hope he can help you come out of your shell. I know he is the only one who will be able to help you. All I hope is you let him in," Oak Said to the unknown Pokémon inside the PokeBall. He then put it back on the platform and after doing that he checked the clock he had in his lab.
"Oh my, its almost time for those four to come here and get their starters," Oak said at seeing the time.
"I must wake Gary up if he doesn't want to sleep i-" Oak almost finished but stopped when he heard many foots rumbling outside his lab.
"Sigh" Oak sighed and simply began walking out his lab.
Once he got outside he saw what was causing the ruckus and it was none other than his grandson Gary riding a Tauros stampede on top of the main herd leader all the while screaming about his "springtime of youth was just beginning and that how he was going to be the greatest Pokémon master ever."
Oak sighed again and then gave out a whistle and soon after his Arcanine and Charizard were next to him.
"How did that happen?" Oak questioned his fire Pokémons who simply shrugged their shoulders.
"I could have guessed as much… very well you know the drill," Oak said to his Pokémon who nodded again.
Aracanine immediately darted off to follow the heard and he quickly got in front of all of them. Gary saw Arcanine and began speaking to him.
"Ahh my dear Grandpas' Arcanine are you here to run with us too and experience our burning flames of youth!" Gary yelled to Arcanine.
Arcanine simply ignored Gary and after getting a few feet in front of the stampede of Tauros, he let out a huge Roar that stopped all the Tauros in their tracks but the sudden momentum stopping, Gary was sent off flying.
"Ahhhhhh!" Gary screamed but was soon caught by Oak's Charizard.
Charizard simply huffed in annoyance at his trainer's grandson. He, out of nowhere, began to do this morning routine of riding the stampede of Tauros and even ride a few of the Ryhorns in the corral an it was always his and Arcanines job to stop him from getting himself hurt.
"Ahh Charizard thank you very much for catching me. I know I can always count on you to catch me," Gary said to the old Charizard with a sincere smile on his face.
Charizard gave a simple smirk in return to the exuberant boy. No matter how annoying he was, Charizard could never get tired of him. Him and that child always made the corral lively. As Charizard was taking Gary to his Grandfather, Gary was talking his ears off about the "springtime of their youths." Charizard had no idea what the boy meant by that and simply paid no attention to him, Gary did not even notice Charizard was not paying attention to him and continued talking to him. After a few minutes Charizard had brought Gary to his grandfather.
"Gary how many times have I told not to do that? You will get hurt if you continue that. Its only thanks to Arceus that you haven't hurt yourself," Oak told his grandson.
"Thanks for your support Gramps!" Gary said to his Grandfather while giving him a thumbs ups and a toothy smile that gave a shine because of the suns oncoming rays.
"I wasn't- you know what forget it just, come inside so we can eat breakfast and for you too get ready for your journey. You begin your journey today Afterall," Oak said to his Grandson.
"That's right today I begin my great Pokémon journey with my soon to be starter and we'll both, and with my team, be the strongest ones out there!" Gary said with pride and confidence.
"That is good to hear, now come on let's go inside," Oak said before starting to walk away with his grandson following behind.
As they were leaving both Arcanine and Charizard had left around the corral to be with the Charmeleon/Charmander pack and with the Growlithe puppies respectively.
Gary had noticed that both Fire Types had left and then tugged on the coat of his Grandfather to get his attention.
"What is it Gary?" Oak said to Gary as he stopped to listen to his grandson.
"Um Gramps I just want to say I'm sorry," Gary said shyly.
"For what?" Oak was confused with Gary's statement.
"For going on my Pokémon Journey," Gary said again with his head down.
"Why would you be sorry for going on your Pokémon journey?" Oak said genuinely confused at Gary.
"Because I will be leaving you here alone," Gary said as a small blush formed on his face.
Oak then put the pieces together on why Gary was sorry and was touched by Gary's thoughtfulness towards him.
"Gary there is nothing to be sorry about. You have to go on your journey, and I will not stop you." Oak told the young boy in front of him.
"I-I just do-don't wa-want yo-you to be a-alone." Gary said as small tears were falling from his eyes.
Oak was touched by this again and quickly brought Gary into a Grandfatherly hug before saying "Gary don't worry about it. I won't be alone, I have all the Pokémon I take care of here, my workers, my Pokémon, everyone in Pallet Town, even Delia and Karla. They always visit me to make sure I'm eating and are even in charge of the small diner where all my workers go to eat. So, don't worry Gary I won't be alone."
"Re-really?" Gary asked wanting to make sure.
Oak released Gary off the hug to look at him in the face, after wiping his tears away, and saying "Of course, besides you'll always call me, won't you?"
"Yeah! I wouldn't even dream of not calling from every Pokémon Center in Kanto! I will always keep you informed on my journey!" Gary told his Gramps.
"That's good too hear and that's all I ask. Now come on let's go home. I think our food is done." Oak said to his grandson.
"Yeah!" Gary said but then go another Blush in his face "Umm Gramps."
"Yes Gary?" Oak replied back.
"Ca-can I ho-hold yo-your ha-hand on-one la-last ti-time li-like whe-when I wa-was a li-lit-little ki-kid?" Gary stuttered with an evident blush on his face.
"Of course, you can Gary. I am your Grandfather after all, and besides no matter how old you get you will always be my Gare-Bare," Oak said while giving out a small laugh at the end because the blush on his grandson's face had increased to the point a tomato would be ashamed at how red he was.
"Graaaammmppss!" Gary moaned to his Grampa who simply gave another smirk.
"What?" Oak asked innocently.
"I told you to not call me that in public someone might hear you." Gary said
"Oh, but there isn't anyone around us." Oak said while looking around.
"It's the principal!" Gary said.
"So, I'm not allowed to call my adorable grandson by his favorite Nickname. Oh, Gary how you wound this poor old man's heart," Oak said while grabbing his chest in "Pain."
"Graaammpps!" Gary said as his face was getting impossibly red.
"Hehe it was always so easy to tease him," Oak thought to himself.
"Alright Alright, I'm done Gary. I don't want your head to overheat. Now let's go." Oak said while stretching out his hand for Gary to hold on too it.
Gary, still with the blush on his face, grabbed his grandfather's hand but hen Oak spoke suddenly "who's still my little Gare-Bear?"
"Ga-Gary i-is Grampy," Gary said as the blush on his face intensified.
Oak simply laughed at that and began heading into the house for them to eat.

Delia Ketchum had just barely woken up and was heading straight for the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her son and her.
"I can't believe I overslept on Ashy's most important day." Delia said after yawning.
"I bet he would never let me live it down if he found it," Delia said again to herself.
As she was walking to the kitchen Delia reminiscent of how prepared Ash was for his journey. After many chores he did around the house and with all the elderly too, and his allowance Ash had gathered enough money to buy everything he needed for a month's worth of Traveling. After that he would have earned more money after battling all the trainers he would come across.
Ash never asked for money from the elderly or the people he helped around in Pallet Town or even from her, but they all insisted he took it and Ash gratefully accepted all of it and saved it to buy everything he would need.
As a matter of fact, he and Delia had even gone the week before today to Celadon City to go shopping in their Department store, the biggest and most popular one in Kanto, for them to buy everything he needed and buy they did.
They were able to buy everything he would need and thanks to Professor Oak's Alakazam they were able to teleport everything back to Pallet Town.
"The wonders of Teleportation," Delia mused to herself.
Then she remembered how they had fit and cataloged everything into Ash's backpack.
"Thank Arceus for containment storages otherwise all those things wouldn't have fit in his backpack." Delia said.
Delia knew her son was ready, and she would give him a big Breakfast for him to go with all the energy he can. She would miss him but knew she couldn't stop him from going. But he had promised that he would always call her when he could, and she knew Ash would keep his promise.
"Enough thinking about that I don't want to get emotional," Delia said to herself.
As Delia was heading closer to the kitchen, she began to smell something delicious coming from it.
"Did I leave something on? Or did I wake up earlier and put something on and I just forgot about it?" Delia said as the smell became greater and more delicious to her.
"No, I couldn't have, so who might be cooking at this time? I'm sure Ashy is still asleep." Delia said.
Delia started to get worried that someone had broken in into her house and was using her kitchen without her permission. So, she took out a frying pan from out of nowhere so she could hit whoever was at her kitchen. (A/N: I don't even know where she got it from, and I wrote the dam chapter)
As Delia was slowly walking to her kitchen with her trusty frying pan in hand, the smell was starting to become more intoxicating good and Delia could start to feel her knees buckling and drool coming out her mouth just by the sheer smell.
"Delia focus. No time for this," Delia thought to herself as she gently slapped her cheeks.
Once Delia regained control, she started to get closer to her kitchen. Once she was just next to the entrance, she stood side to it and slowly peeked her head to see who was using it.
To her great surprise it was Ash along with her Kirlia, Happiny, and Gardevoir cooking what seemed to be a egg dish. (A/N: Yes, Delia has those Pokémon, not Gardevoir, deal with it, I won't leave her alone)
Delia was surprised to see Ash awake so early, since she thought he would still be asleep. Her surprise ended as soon as it came because she realized Ash was just someone who would do something like this.
"He might have even woken up before Charizard's roar and did all of this," Delia thought to herself.
As she was watching Ash, she was seeing how much her son had changed over the years. Ash had gained a little muscle with all the chores he's being doing and also because of the manual labor he's being doing at the corral. Ash's hair has also grown a little longer to the point he had to use a ponytail to hold it back together. In fact, Ash's hair was almost as long as Delia's. Delia then remembered when she asked Ash if he wanted her to cut his hair and him saying no. Then a laugh came to her when Ash gave her the reason on why not too cut his hair. He simply liked it long because he thought it made him look cool. (A/N: He is still a kid remember that)
"What an interesting kid you gave me Lord Arceus," Delia said to herself as she was watching her son cook.
As she was watching him cook, she thought about all the times her son cooked for her and sometimes Professor Oak. For some strange reason, that Delia couldn't fathom, her son's cooking was always sooooooo goooood, it always made her knees buckle and always tore her clothes off, in her mind obviously. Delia after finding out how good her son's cooking is started taking him to the small dinner, she and Karla owned for him too cook the meals that day.
"I still can't believe how much money we made that day," Delia said quietly to herself.
Ash, along with the Pokémon, were completely oblivious to Delia's presence as Ash continued too cook and the Pokémon helping him.
Delia watched as her son was making an omelet in the pan, and Happiny was there cheering him on. Kirlia was on a stool whipping some sort of red sauce next to Ash while he dipped his finger occasionally, too make sure it was good and then giving her a head pat afterwards.
Delia then gave a sad smile when she watched Gardevoir clumsily put the dishes on the table before falling face first to the ground. Thankfully Kirlia stopped the plates from breaking as she held them up with her Psychic powers and soon after Ash thanking her. She then watched how Ash stopped for a moment, leaving Happiny in charge since for some odd reason she was a freakishly strong little Pokémon, and went too Gardevoir to comfort her as she was beginning to cry from falling again and being clumsy. She watched in silence at the interaction that was coming.
After Gardevoir picked herself up and was on her knees, she began to cry a little for always messing everything up. Why couldn't she be like her big sisters Kirlia and Happiny. They were so perfect with her big sister Happiny being super strong and her big sister Kirlia being a master at her Psychic and Fairy energy. (A/N: Wait for it it's coming soon)
Then here she was always so clumsy and dense and messing everything up even something as easy as setting up the plates in the table. She tried, believe her she did, but she just couldn't understand her body, it was so weird in her own words.
She remembered when she was little and had her mommy and daddy with her but then being taken away by some mean people and mean rats and dogs and ghosts. She remembered being in a cage and then being injected with some strange liquid by some strange white coated humans, not the old man he was nice. She remembered growing up a little bit after a big glow occurred where she was. She also remembered how strange her new taller body was and how she could not move. Then she remembered the men talking and then injecting her again with another liquid that made her scream in pain. She remembered how horrible it felt when her body started changing again and this time became the one, she was today. She didn't know why she was so tall and looked like her mommy when she was just barely little a few hours ago. She remembered how scared and confused she was at her new body and couldn't move at all. How the mean people forced her to stand, being unsuccessful at it, and then falling down and then the men kicking her to stand up, but she just couldn't! She then remembered the most horrible pain she had ever felt in her life. One day those mean men had taken her out of her cage and had put a weird looking stone on her neck, while in front of her was another dressed up man but this time there was a huge red R on his chest. She thought at first that the stone was a gift for her but then saw that the man also had a similar stone on his wrist. She remembered being so confused at seeing that but then feeling the most unimaginable pain she had ever felt when her stone and the men's one began to get bright and then light shooting off both stones and touching in the middle of that room, after the man had called out something. She remembered how her body was being forced to change again but this time the pain was unimaginable but this time it wasn't only physical but mental too. Her body was changing yet again, and it hurt her so much that she passed out from the pain. Before passing out she remembered the men saying "useless" "another failed one" "lock her back in."
A shudder passed thru Gardevoir at she remembered how she got out of that horrible place. She remembered waking up days later but still in pain, but her body had returned to the way her mommy looked. She then remembered how she cried for her mommy and daddy but got no answer, so she cried herself to sleep that night. Then she remembered that horrible night where she escaped that place.
(A/N: Flashback and a little dark/M Rated so skip ahead if you want)
(Nighttime)
Gardevoir was laid in a corner of the cage she was in, in a fetal position. Her cheeks were puffed out so much because she had cried and cried until she had literally cried herself to sleep.
Even as Gardevoir was sleeping small tears were still falling from her eyes all the while mumbling for her parents.
"Mommy, Daddy" Gardevoir said in her sleep.
The entire room was filled with caged Pokémon from all the regions but the most distinguishable form about them was how utterly broken and defeated they all looked. There was no life in them and just stayed there waiting for whatever the men were going to do with them.
In one cage there were a pack of Rattata that were eating the corpse of a Raticate that had died. On another there was a Dratini that was banging its head on the bars with all the might it had and not stopping even if its head was dripping with blood and its small horn being torn off. On another there was Ursaring cradling the bodies of her two cub Teddiursas who had died of starvation. One more had a Rosarade with both of its petal appendages gone after she had eaten them out of pure hunger. There were many of these cages all around Gardevoir.
Gardevoir had no idea how she got here. All she remembered was being born, her mommy and daddy looking at her. Then a huge explosion occurring, her mommy holding her tightly to her, her daddy dashing outside to see what was going on, then she remembered hearing a scream. Gardevoir could remember feeling the fear rolling of her mommy. Then she remembered a bunch of fire breathers, purple little rodents, ghosts, and void users. She remembered she and her mother disappearing but still being chased down by those mean creatures. She remembered how hard her mommy tried to protect her and cover her with her body from all those lights that were heading towards them. She remembered how her mommy was thrown to the ground by dark rings that had hit her in the back. She remembered her mommy given her a smile and telling her everything would be alright. Then she remembered a dark claw coming out of her mommy's chest and she spitting out red stuff from her mouth. She remembered her mommy falling to the floor next to her and telling her to run away before not saying anything anymore. Gardevoir had no idea why her mommy was not moving, and she did not know what run away meant so she slowly crawled to her mommy and slowly shaking her to wake up. (A/N: Remember she's barely hatched so she won't know anything)
Gardevoir did not understand why her mommy was not moving even after she cried, she didn't move to comfort her, she was just there still. Then she remembered those mean creatures getting close too her and she hides behind her mommy, and her daddy never appearing again. The creatures stopped but then she almost gaged at a stinking scent that was starting to appear. She remembered seeing a man with a dark blue hair and covered in a garment that covered most of his body except his head and alongside him was a weird purple smelly blob. The man watched her and her mommy before speaking.
"Is it dead?" the man asked to the other men that were there.
"Yes, sir. We were able to knock her down with a combined Dark Pulse from the Houndour and finished it off with a Shadow Claw to the heart from the Weavile HQ sent us," the man said to the blue haired man while saluting him.
"What about the Gallade?" said the blue haired man.
"Didn't even know what hit him sir. When it came out it was immediately bombarded with Dark Pulse, Shadow Balls, Razor Leaves, and was finished after Weavile used his Metal Claw to the Gallade's neck instantly killing him," the man said.
"Good work men," the man said before looking at the Weavile "You are a bloodthirsty little monster, aren't you?"
The Weavile didn't respond and simply looked at the ground with a dead look in its eyes.
"It is to be expected after knowing what they do to you in the labs. Man, that Namba is one sick bastard," the blue haired man said.
Gardevoir had no idea what was going and what those men were talking about but got scared when the blue haired man began looking at her.
"What about that one?" the blue haired man said to the other men while looking at her.
"I think that one is the offspring of the Gardevoir and Gallade. Do you want us to kill it or capture it sir?" the man questioned his superior.
The man though a little bit before replying "Capture it. I think Zager will have a use for that one. He said he needed a newborn to try out that weird serum of his to see if it worked. Besides we also need a test subject for the Mega Evolution program and this one's final from should do the trick. It's a shame we had to kill the parents, but it had to be done, they were so independent and strong willed; that would have never worked. This one is still a newborn and its mind will be easily to manipulate" the blue haired man said all the while staring at Gardevoir.
"As you wish sir," the man saluted before speaking to a weird bug with mushrooms on its back "Paras use Sleep Powder on it."
The Paras then shake its mushrooms on its back and released a green powder that hit Gardevoir making her go asleep. The last thing she remembered before sleeping was being picked up and then being thrown into a bag. Once she woke up she was in this weird place.
All of this was going thru Gardevoir's mind as she was sleeping and crying. She did not want this, all she wanted was her mommy and daddy, and to go home, and to be little again and not so tall. She did not understand her body and hated it for it.
Then she was woken up when her cage started to open up and one of those black clothed men with the red R on their chest came in. She was scared because the man was looking at her funny from her toes to her head.
"Man, I've been waiting for this since they evolved you," the man said as he was looking at her.
Gardevoir did not understand what the man was talking about and just started to back away from him. The man saw this and immediately grabbed her from her wrist so hard he almost broke it before dragging her out of her cage.
Gardevoir was starting to get more scared and was beginning to fight the man but she just couldn't, the man was just so strong, and she was so weak from that strange transformation, so he just let him drag her wherever he wanted. She thought she was just going for another test and be injected with something.
That was not the case as the man had dragged her into a room with a bed in it. After she was brought in, the man immediately pushed her onto the bed. Gardevoir was getting more scared as she was thrown onto the bed and then the man beginning to undress himself until he was naked.
Gardevoir did not know what was going on and started to back away from the man as he was getting closer to her. The man seeing this grabbed Gardevoir by her legs and began dragging her to him. Gardevoir did not like this and began flailing around in hope to release herself from the man's grip. One of her legs must have hit the man because he slapped her very hard on the face.
"That hurt you Fucking Bitch! I'm going to enjoy this so much!" the man yelled at Gardevoir after slapping her.
Gardevoir began to cry because he had hit her so hard that blood started to drip from her mouth. That did not deter the man and continued to drag Gardevoir to him.
"Man, this is going to be so much fun. man I'm going to fuck a Pokémon and a Gardevoir at that, and one as hot as you nonetheless," the man said as he was beginning to touch Gardevoir's legs.
"Ever since they evolved you, I wanted to do this. Your just so Fucking hot and with that innocent mind of yours this is going to be even better," the main said as he was beginning to drag his hand to Gardevoir's thigh.
Gardevoir's legs were beginning to shake because of how scared she was. She did not know what the man was talking about and didn't get why the man was touching her legs and thigh, but she didn't like it but was just to weak to continue fighting.
"I've always been into PokeFilia and the one I always wanted to fuck was a Gardevoir and now I finally can and there's nothing you or anyone else can do to stop me. I am the only one here at this time and everyone has left. So, your all mine for tonight," the man said with a lustful smile on his face.
Gardevoir was beginning to shake and cry more but the man continued to touch her and continued to drag his hand up her inner thigh. Gardevoir eyes opened in shock at what the man was doing and with the little strength she had left she kicked him on the face with her other leg.
The man was sent flying off the bed by this and Gardevoir immediately tried to run to the door to escape this, but it was locked. Gardevoir tried and tried to break it open but she just did not have enough energy left in her.
"Hehehe you think I didn't lock the door first before I brought you here? I know you don't have all the powers you normally get when you evolve because we forced your evolution onto you," the man said before screaming at her "You're a Fucking baby Ralts in the body of a fully evolved Gardevoir!"
"There is nothing you can do, you have no attacks of a Gardevoir and all you have is a Fucking Growl attack, but I was a little surprised by that kick but hey I like them feisty," the man continued.
Gardevoir had no idea what the man was talking but once she realized she couldn't get out thru the door she ran to a corner of the room and planed to continue too run around the room until the man tired out and she could hit him with whatever she could find.
"Hoho you think you can get away from me that easy? Well your wrong you bitch" the man said before taking out a small bottle with a pinkish liquid in it.
"I thought I wouldn't have to use this, but I don't have a choice. Once this is sprayed all over you, you will be begging me to fuck you endlessly and since you're a Pokémon you wont die from it like human girls do," the man said to Gardevoir.
Gardevoir did not understand what the liquid was but it smelled funny to her. The man, in Gardevoirs distraction, opened the bottle up and then sprayed all the liquid the bottle had onto Gardevoir.
Gardevoir did not understand why the man had sprayed the pink liquid onto her but then she stopped and started to feel weird. Then Gardevoir vision started to become blurry and her head was spinning allot and for some strange reason Gardevoir's body was becoming unbearably hot, and she was starting to Ache in her private area. Gardevoir was getting even more scared because she did not know what was going on with her body. Her body was starting hurt her and when she looked at the man, he was almost salivating at seeing her like that.
"Yes, now your mine you innocent little bitch. Those Attract pheromones should be working their magic now. Hehehe I'm going to show the wonders of a human dick," the man said to Gardevoir as he was able to grab her again and throw her back to the bed.
Gardevoir couldn't take how hot her body had gotten and her lower area hurt her allot too. The man didn't care as he was beginning to lick Gardevoir's stomach area and was slowly getting close to her chest area.
"Too bad you don't have tits, that would have been more awesome," the man said as he was beginning to lick Gardevoir's chest area.
Gardevoir was crying yet again because she did not want this, but her body just wouldn't listen to her. It was getting hotter by the minute and her lower area ached more and more.
"Well then let's get this started the," the man said before grabbing Gardevoir by her legs and then spreading them open.
Gardevoir was shaking with fear at this point at what the man was about to do but she just couldn't fight him. The man's membrane suddenly got up and he was putting it close to her entrance.
Gardevoir did not want this she was so scared, so confused, so tired, so weak, so sad, so angry, so frustrated, so she dig deep within herself to find anything that would help her out of this situation.
As the man was about to penetrate her Gardevoir found an energy, she didn't know she had, and manifested it upon the man to stop him. Gardevoir yelled a mighty scream in the shape of hearts to the man that pushed him away until he impacted with the wall. (A/N: Disarming Voice)
Gardevoir and the man where both shocked at this but the man was furious at Gardevoir.
"How dare you strike me you stupid creature! I am going to fuck you so bad until you yell my name in pleasure in your Pokémon tongue! Come on out Golbat and help me subdue this Bitch!" the man said in anger.
In a flash of light Golbat appeared waiting patiently for its master's orders.
Gardevoir had had enough of this and dig deep within herself one last time to try to find something that would help her escape from this once and for all.
"Alright Golbat use-" before the man could finish Gardevoir started glowing and then she suddenly disappeared.
"Shit she used Teleportation to escape" the man cursed, "I must find her otherwise the boss is going to kill me."
Then the man dressed himself up and went into another room and got many PokeBalls and then released all the Pokémon that were inside. Out of the pokeballs came out a Rattata, Houndour, Poochyena, Sableye, two Mightyena, three Haunters and one Cacturne. They all waited patiently for the man's orders.
"Gardevoir has just escaped. She shouldn't be too far away from here, but we must not let her reach Rustboro otherwise our location will be compromised. All of you find her and bring her back by any means necessary. I'll use my Golbat too look for her too. Now go!" the man said to the Pokémon in front of him. They all headed out to find the Gardevoir. The man then started walking outside with his Golbat after grabbing an electric baton and putting on a coat he had.
"You will not get away from me you bitch. I will find you and when I do you will be completely mine," the man said as he was walking into the snow-covered woods around the lab.
(A/N: Somewhere in the forest)
Gardevoir appeared again but this time she was no longer in the lab but was in a type of forest. She didn't know where she was, but she didn't care she was no longer in that horrible place and she was happy. She didn't even care that her body was still so hot, that's how happy she was.
Gardevoir leaned in on a tree that was close by to try to relax a little bit. She didn't know how she appeared here, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to escape that place and the man and something in her was released that allowed her that escape. Soon Gardevoir felt snow touching her skin and then noticed that it was snowing under a full moon. It was also getting cold but she couldn't feel it because of how hot her body was.
Gardevoir was immediately taken out of her short break when she heard rustlings around the forest Area. Then she heard barking, growls, and grunts from all around the forest. Gardevoir knew that wasn't the local inhabitants, so she began to force her body to move so she could hide.
Gardevoir tried to find anywhere to hide but she just continued to hear those noises getting closer to her.
Gardevoir was so tired that her body simply gave out on her and fell down on the snow-covered floor. Gardevoir tried to will her body to move but it just wouldn't listen to her commands. She tried and tried to no avail and simply gave up and just laid there waiting for the inevitable to happen. As the noises and the man were getting closer to her, she looked one last time at the moon in the sky.
"Somebody, anybody, please save me" she said to anybody who could hear her but loosing hope as no one answered.
Gardevoir was slowly being covered by the falling snow.
As her hopes were being crushed, she heard a faint young voice saying "Hello, are you okay?"
(A/N: End of Flashback)
All this was going thru Gardevoir's mind as she was slowly picking herself up. She hated being so clumsy and dense. Her daddy, big sisters, and Grand mommy were always so good at everything and then here she was ruining everything, but her daddy, big sisters, and Grand mommy never got angry with her and always gave her a smile and told her it was okay. She loved all of them, especially her daddy. They were all so nice to her and always helped her when she couldn't do something. She had a wonderful and loving family so she always tried to do a good job at everything she could.
Then suddenly she felt a hand petting her head and she turned around too see it was her daddy smiling at her with that loving smile he always had on his face for her.
"There there Yuki, daddy is here and he's not mad at you," Ash said to the now identified Gardevoir named Yuki. (A/N: Nickname I chose for her, always liked that name)
Yuki just stared at the smiling form of her Daddy and immediately tackled him into a hug with her face in his chest.
Ash didn't mind since this was a custom from her "daughter."
"Hehe, who would have thought I would be a father at the age of 10," Ash said as he continued to pet Yuki's head.
Delia, Kirlia, and Happiny just looked at the scene with a small smile on their faces.
They all knew that Yuki viewed Ash as her daddy and that she loved him as daughter would love her father. Thy also knew she loved them very much, but Ash held a special place in her heart. She was so clingy and dependent of Ash; she couldn't be at least 1 hour away from her daddy; so, it always was so difficult to keep her from going to Ash's school and her being there all day. After Ash and Delia, with Happiny and Kirlia with them, talked to her she agreed that she would wait for Ash when he came from school every day and to not go to his school to be there with him all day.
Delia gave a smile by remembering how Yuki always greeted Ash when he came from school.
Yuki always greeted Ash by tackling him into a hug the moment he stepped thru the door and burying her face in his chest. After Ash would come home Yuki would not leave his side no matter how hard the three other females tried too remove her from him. Ash didn't mind and just let it be
Yuki would eat alongside Ash, would try too help him cook, take care of the garden with him, watch him doing his homework, being with him when he went to visit the elderly of Pallet Town, sometimes going to the corral with him, even bathing with him!
As Ash figured out, Yuki saw no problem and taking a bath with her daddy because Ash was her daddy and she wanted her daddy to be the only one to shower her. Everyone tried to dissuade Yuki of this, but she wouldn't budge, and, in the end, they just let it happen.
So, every time Ash would take a shower, she would follow him for him to shower her. Delia could always hear the laughter of Yuki whenever she went to give Ash his dry clothes. She one time, out of curiosity, peeked in to see why Yuki was always laughing and what she saw made her laugh a little.
Her normally cool, calm, and collected son was making funny faces and making bubbles with the soap for Yuki and she would have a blast at seeing Ash's funny faces and pop the bubbles. She also saw how Ash scrubbed her back, even thou he was smaller than her, and she enjoying every minute of it.
Not only would Yuki follow Ash into the shower, but she would also always sneak into his bed at night and snuggle close to him. Even though Yuki, Kirlia, and Happiny were supposed to sleep with Delia, Yuki always sneaked in the middle of the night to go to sleep with Ash. No matter how hard they tried to prevent that Yuki always found a way.
It came to the point where they all had to know why Yuki always did that. One-night Kirlia, Delia, and Happiny decided to stay awake a bit longer right after Yuki fell asleep to see why she did that. After Yuki fell completely asleep the three females just stared at her to see what caused her to leave to Ash. After a few minutes they saw that Yuki would begin to tremble, flail around a little, start grunting in a negative fashion, and cry a little bit. They could only guess it was a nightmare, and sadly they knew what the nightmare was about. After Yuki's trashing would end, she would wake up and go to Ash's room. Then she would gently move Ash a little bit and then get on his bed and snuggle close to him. At this she would stop the trembling and simply sleep peacefully next to Ash.
After the females finding out about that, and talking to Ash afterwards, they let her sleep permanently in Ash's room. Ash being the kind boy he was didn't mind one bit and let Yuki snuggle to him as many times as she wanted.
However, the line that Ash drew for Yuki was when she tried to go with him in the bathroom when he was going to the restroom to do his business. Ash said no and no matter how hard Yuki tried to convince Ash to let her go inside with him- even bringing out her most power technique in the "Puppy eyes-" but him not relenting. In the end Yuki would wait outside his door, with a storm cloud over her, until Ash came out.
"They are so close, almost as close as Ash and his other friend in the Corral," Delia mused to herself as she watched Yuki still hugging Ash.
Kilrlia and Happiny were thinking the same thing Delia was on the closeness of Yuki and Ash.
They always took care of Yuki when Ash went to school, and they also always tried to help her get used to the body she was forced upon on to early. It was because of Kirlia and Happiny that Yuki had learned how to walk Properly and not fall down so much.
Kirlia was even trying to teach her how to use some of her sealed Psychic/Fairly abilities. Sadly, thou Yuki just couldn't get them because she was still mentally a baby Pokémon, no matter how hard she tried too. That didn't mean that both Kirlia and Happiny wouldn't stop loving their little sister, to them she was their adorable clumsy little sister.
As all this was going on Yuki was still buried deep in her daddy's chest. She loved her daddy very much because he was so nice to her, he gave her delicious food, petted her head, scolded her gently when she did something she shouldn't have, let her take showers with him, let her sleep with him so that bad man wouldn't come in her dreams, but most importantly she loved him because she saved her.
Yuki knew she was taller than her daddy, but she didn't care she always felt safe when she hugged him and when he would let her sleep in his lap. Yuki didn't care that to everyone else her daddy was a "kid" to her daddy was daddy and that was all there is to it. Yuki was scared and shy among any other people that wasn't her family but thru her daddy's and Grand mommy's and big sister's support she was starting to come out of her shell just a little bit more. Yuki loved spending time with those old nice people with her daddy. They always gave her candy, told her stories, and always complimented her by saying how cute she was, so she liked spending time with them like her daddy. Yuki followed her daddy and tried to help him when he was doing chores for the old nice people, but she always messed up with something, but her daddy never got mad at her and just told her to cheer him on and she did. Yuki liked to go to the huge place with all the different Pokémon around because they were also very nice to her and the babies always wanted to play with her. In that huge place she also met that nice old man and the old Psychic who would do her monthly medical and mental checkups. At first, she was scared but her daddy was always there with her during the checkups for her not to be scared anymore.
In that big place Yuki made many friends but held a special place in her heart because that's where she met, officially, her auntie for the first time. At first, she was scared of her because she looked scary with those pointy fangs and those weird colorings around her body, but she gave her a chance after her daddy told her who she was. As it turned out to be that scary looking snake was her daddy's sister. Yuki was surprised that the scary snake was her daddy's sister but then her fear turned into excitement and happiness at meeting her daddy's sister…. her auntie. Her auntie was so nice to her too and would take care of her when her daddy got a little bit busy helping the men and women around. She would play with her and take her to explore all around that big place while introducing her to everyone. She loved her auntie like she loved her Grand Mommy and Big sisters.
To Yuki there was no one better than her daddy, all in all, Yuki loved her daddy very much.
"Yuki loves daddy allot" Yuki said in her mind and the only one hearing her being Kirlia.
Yuki tried so hard to try and master Telepathy from her big sister Kirlia so that she could speak with her daddy and tell him how much she loved him. Yuki hadn't mastered it yet, but she wouldn't give up until she learned it.
Ash guessing what Yuki might be thinking petted her head again and then told her "Yes Yuki daddy loves you too, but you need to get off me otherwise I won't be able to finish cooking breakfast for everyone."
Yuki pouted but ended the hug and got off her daddy.
Ash saw the pout and found it adorable, so he said the following "Good little girl," he said to Yuki but continued with a smile on his face "for being so good I'll give you double the amount in the food."
Yuki was about to pounce again on her daddy but was stopped when her daddy raised up his hand before saying "only if you answer me something."
Yuki tilted her head in confusion, but her daddy's next words made her blush with embarrassment.
"Who is my little snow princess?" Ash said at the blushing Gardevoir.
Yuki had a blush so deep she could give a tomato a round for its money. She hated it when her daddy said those embarrassing things in front of people, including her Grand Mommy and Big sisters. She would always blush a deep red.
The only ones who could be around her when daddy said that was daddy himself and her auntie.
"Hmm guess I won't give you extra servings Yuki," Ash said with a "sad" look on his face.
The three other females just tried to hold in their laughter at the madly blushing Gardevoir.
Yuki's eyes went wide when her daddy said that but she, with all the embarrassment in the world, stepped forward.
"Hmm let me ask again. Who is my little snow princess?" Ash said again to Yuki.
Yuki with a Blush covering her entire head stepped forward and said "Yuki is daddy's snow princess" but all Ash and Delia heard was Gardevoir saying her name.
"That's what I thought," he said with a warm smile on his face but continued, this time looking at Kirlia and Happiny, "Now come on you guys we need to finish this up before mom gets up."
They all nodded and at that Ash went back to the stove to finish his cooking.
While he was cooking he told everyone "Okay, Kirlia you set up the plates on the table, Happiny you pass me those spices over there, and Yuki you stand close to me to see how I do this so that you could one day do it. Now come on this needs to be piping hot and ready once mom wakes up otherwise if it waits a little it will cool down and loose its spongy texture. Also, thanks Kirlia for using your Psychic to protect mom's ears from Charizard's roar and preventing her from waking up. I want this to be a surprise for her."
All of them nodded, Kirlia puffed her chest a little bit in pride, and began to do what Ash told them to do.
Delia was touched by this nice gesture from her son and decided to go back to her room to take a shower and then come back so that she could eat her son's wonderful cooking.
As she was walking back to her room, she thought to herself on how a wonderful kid Ash was.
"I should be the one who needed to wake up early so that I could prepare his breakfast and yet he woke up earlier, prevented me from waking up, and made me and the others breakfast," Delia said to herself.
"What a one of a kind kid you gave me Lord Arceus," Delia said as she was getting into her bath to shower her sleepiness away.
After a long relaxing hot shower and then drying herself up and putting clothes on, Delia headed back downstairs to the Kitchen.
Once she got there, she saw that the food had been served and that her son was giving it its final touch with beautiful sauce that he dripped over the egg dish. All the while Yuki seating patiently and Kirlia standing on the chair and Happiny on the table waiting for their serving. At the small noise Ash noticed his mother and greeted her.
"Good morning mom, I hope you had a good sleep" Ash told her.
"Yes, I had a wonderful sleep Ashy, but what are you doing awake so early and making me breakfast, nonetheless? You know I'm the mom and be the one who should be doing this instead of you?" Delia asked Ash with fake anger.
"Hehe sorry it's just that I couldn't sleep that much at how excited I was for today," Ash said sheepishly.
"Oh, right today you start your journey." Delia said but then looked at Ash and saw how handsome he looked.
"I can see that your already dressed up and good to go then," Delia asked as she was looking at her son's clothing
"Yeah, what do you think of my clothing mom?" Ash told her mom as he began modeling himself for her.
Ash was dressed in a black collard shirt with a purple sleeveless shirt over it and was in a pair of Black jeans that had some purple lines that went from his waist to his shoes. For the shoes he had a pair of black and purple sneakers. But the most distinguishable part of Ash's clothing was the black, with purple and yellow marks, hooded trench coat he was wearing. His hair was neatly combed back and was held together by his ponytail. (A/N: Yes, Ash has an awesome hooded trench coat, deal with it and no in mine he has no cap
All in all, Ash looked really cool and a little badass, if she said so herself.
"He's going to scare many trainers away," Delia thought to herself.
"So?" Ash asked his mom.
"You look wonderful honey. But isn't it going to be summer in a few more weeks? I can understand for the winter but why are you wearing a trench coat for the summer? Won't you get hot under it?" Delia asked her son.
"Way ahead of you mom," he said before revealing the inside of his coat to her, "You see mom, I took out the warm cloth that was inside of it so it would not warm me extra in the summer. Once winter hits I'll put it back in and that will keep me warm in the cold weather. Besides I had it specifically made to be weather resistant for my journey. So, no matter in which type of weather I find myself in" he said while touching his coat "this thing will resist. Besides don't I look awesome on it?"
"You certainly do look awesome Ashy," Delia said to her son who gave a smile in return to her. The Pokemon in the room completely agreeing with Delia and Yuki saying in her mind "Daddy always looks cool and awesome."
"Thank you, mom. Now come on let's eat before the food gets cold," Ash told his mom as he was getting three plates filled with PokeFood.
As Delia sat down, she began staring at her food and admire it before grabbing a spoon nearby and touching it with the spoon. The spoon literally bounced from how bouncy the egg dish was.
"Ashy honey what is this?" Delia asked her son as she was still in awe at how spongy the dish was.
"It's an Egg souffle mom," Ash told her as he was putting the Poke food on the plates for the Pokémon. (A/N: Egg Souffle from food wars)
"Oh," was all Delia could say. She had seen Egg Souffles in her life but not one as spongy as the one her son had made.
"How did you come up with it Ashy?" Delia told her son.
"To be honest I don't know it just came to me while I was showering," Ash said to his mom.
Delia didn't question any further and just waited for her son to come back so that they could eat all together.
After a few seconds more passed Ash came back to the table but this time with three plates filled with the world renowned Kalos Poke Puffs.
Ash had heard about the PokePuffs from a little Kalos girl that had came to Pallet Town to attend Professor Oak's summer camp. Ever since then he would always make some for Yuki, Kirlia, and Happiny and for the Pokémon in the Corral.
After trying it out the Pokémon loved it and he began to read more on it, since the Kalos girl had left back to Kalos.
He began experimenting and researching what PokePuffs where best for what Pokémon and how delicious and nutritious he could make them.
As Ash was bringing the plates with the PokePuffs to the table, the Pokémon's mouth was beginning to water in excitement at eating the delicious PokePuffs.
Ash decided not to tease them anymore and put the plates in front of them.
"As the Kalosians would say, bon appetit" he then gave a gentleman bow before looking at Yuki and saying, "and just like I promised extra servings for my snow princess."
He then put some more of Yuki's favorite PokePuffs on her plate, all the while yelling in her mind "Yay! Daddy is the best!"
Soon they all began to eat their food and Delia and Ash began to make small talk about Ash's journey and where he was going. Also, about the team Ash was going to have and how he planned to train them. (A/N: Not going to say it since I want to keep it a surprise)
Soon their eyes drifted off to the three Pokémon eating contently next to them but they focused more on Yuki and started remembering how they met her.
(A/N: Flashback)
"It's so cool and white outside mom!" 8-Year-old Ash told his mom as he was looking outside, along his first friend, the window of the hotel room Professor Oak had rented them there in Rustboro City.
"It sure is sweetie, but I wonder why is it snowing this time a year? Especially here in Hoenn since it's a mostly hot and humid region?" Delia said as she was looking at the snow covered Rustboro and Petalburg Woods.
"I think I might have a guess?" Oak said as he took his face of the newspaper he was reading.
"What do you think is causing this weather phenomenon Professor?" Ash asked Oak as he and his friend and his mom's attention were on him.
"Well some witness reports say that the legendary bird of Ice Articuno has been seen flying over the skies of Hoenn and have even said that it is resting at the top of Mt Chimney," Oak said to the bewildered Ash and Delia.
"I-is that true Professor?" Delia was the first to ask.
"Who knows? But it would explain this weird cold weather all of Hoenn has being experiencing," Oak said to the mother and son.
"How so Professor?" Ash asked the old professor.
"Well as you both know Articuno is one of the legendary birds of Kanto and master of ice, right?" oak asked and at their nod continued "You see Articuno has complete authority over the ice/coldness element. He is the Physical manifestation of those elements."
"What does that have to do with the weather Professor?" Delia interrupted Oak but he didn't mind and waved it off.
"I was getting to that well you see as legends state: As it flies through the sky, it cools the air, causing snow to fall. The magnificent, seemingly translucent wings of this legendary bird are said to be made of ice. Wherever it rests snow and blizzards follow it spreading at their master's power." Oak quoted the legends told about the ice bird.
"So, your saying that Articuno is the cause of the cold weather that is plaguing Hoenn professor?" Ash told the professor with his first friend nodding her head. Delia had left to make hot chocolate for two males and Pokémon.
"Well think about it Ash, Hoenn rarely has snowy weather since its mostly a hot and humid region but then suddenly it gets cold, which is a rare occurrence, and then it begins to snow, which is even rarer, all after these sights of the Ice master in the Hoenn skies. Don't you find it strange?" Oak told the young boy and his friend.
"Well now that I think about it, it's kind of makes sense. But to cover the entirety of the Hoenn region in a blanket of snow by its mere presence? Is it even possible for a single Pokémon to do that Professor?" Ash asked the professor.
"Hehe remember Ash Articuno is no normal Pokémon he is a legendary Pokémon and the legendries, no matter how hard we try to understand them, are still shrouded in mystery. We know nothing about them and all we do know is their names and where they were said to be discovered," Oak said as he began to look at the snow covered Rustboro thru the window.
"But but isn't Articuno mostly part of the Kanto legendary birds? What is it doing in Hoenn?" Ash asked the Professor again.
"As I said my boy the legendary Pokémons are a mystery to us normal humans. We classify the legendary Pokémon from the region where they were first saw and the regions legends upon them but by no means does it mean that they have to stay in that region all the time. The legendary Pokémons could travel all over the regions for all we know" Oak said as he was still watching out the window.
"Wow" Ash simply said with wide eyes with his friend having the same expression as the boy on her face.
"Wow indeed my boy" Oak said with a smile.
"Wait wait wait wait Professor Oak you said that some have sighted Articuno resting on top of Mt Chimney?" Ash told the Professor and at his nod he continued, "Mt Chimney is an active volcano and Articuno is resting on it. Does that mean that Articuno has frozen the magma that is commonly seen there?"
"It is a possibility," Oak thought but continued "as seeing that it may be Articuno resting there, it is possible."
"To freeze magma and make an active volcano dormant by its mere presence… Incredible. Just how powerful is Articuno Professor Oak?" Ash asked the old man.
"Who knows my boy, but we hope to find out one day," Oak told Ash and his friend.
"Okay enough about Articuno and the snow around us! Who wants Hot Cocoa Chocolate?!" Delia asked everyone with three cups and a bowl full of said beverage on the table waiting for them.
"I do!" "That would be nice" and a hiss were her answers.
"Then come and get it before they get cold!" Delia said cheerfully.
The two males and Pokémon headed for the table to get their cups and bowl so they could drink the hot beverage.
Ash and his friend had taken their cup/bowl to where they were sitting and continued to watch outside the window while talking to each other, well ash talking and he not understanding what his friend was saying. Delia and Oak went to the two couches in the small living room to continue their small talk.
As Ash and his friend were staring out the window, Ash could have sworn he saw a strange light coming from the Petalburg forest.
"Did you see that buddy" Ash quietly said to his friend who slightly nodded to Ash.
Ash was going to dismiss it but something in him, the explorer part of himself, told him to go investigate and find out what it was. So, after deciding his next course of action he stood up and went to his mother and the professor, his friend loyally following him.
"Mom can I go outside to see the PetalBurg Woods?" Ash asked his mom.
"Absolutely not mister. Do you know what time it is already? Do you even know how cold it is outside?" Delia told her son.
"I know but it will be just for a little bit and besides its close by. The Petalburg Woods is not that far away. You will even be able too see me from the window," Ash was reasoning with his mom.
"I don't know," Delia said.
"Please mom," Ash said as he brought out his most powerful weapon in the "puppy eyes."
Delia still didn't know if she should let Ash go in this cold night but was beginning to fold at her son's "puppy eyes" but soon after Oak spoke.
"Its okay Delia let him go. If your worried about protection he can take my Charizard with him too keep him warm and for security," Oak said as he pulled out of his coat a worn out PokeBall.
"You brought Charizard Professor Oak?" Delia asked the man.
"Yeah I always bring one of my Pokémon with me whenever I have to travel out of Kanto, just in case anything dangerous comes up" Oak said to Delia.
"See mom with Professor Oak's Charizard I'll be save and warm!" Ash said but then a hiss of protest caught his attention.
"Yes, Yes Girl you also keep me safe" Ash said with a playful roll of his eyes when his friend puffed her chest out in pride.
"So, can you let me go mom please? I will have double protection with Charizard and Azami" Ash said to his mom with the now Azami nodding her head.
"Sigh" she sighed "Okay then but you have to promise me that you will cover yourself with your coat and immediately release Charizard the moment you step out and stay close to him and Azami the whole time, Okay mister?" she then looked at Azami and continued "and I want you to protect my son Azami, Okay young lady?" Delia said with a stern voice to the both of them.
"Yes mam!" Ash said while he and Azami saluted Delia.
That Action brought a small chuckle from Delia and Oak.
"Okay then go put on your coat and jacket and pants before you go outside, Delia said and soon after Ash went to his room to change clothes to a warmer pair, Azami following behind him faithfully.
"Why do you think he wants to go outside professor?" Delia asked the Professor.
"Who knows. He always did like to explore around new places he hasn't seen before. So maybe the exploring bug bit him to see outside" Oak said.
"I guess your right. I just hope he doesn't get in trouble. Trouble always finds a way to find Ash." Delia said with a sigh at the end.
"Don't worry Delia, Ash isn't going far away he's just going to the Petalburg Woods and besides Charizard and Azami are going to be with him. He'll be extra protected and warm," Oak said trying to reassure the worrying mother.
"I guess your right" Delia simply said.
Soon after Ash came back in his winter coat with a jacket underneath, Pants, winter boots, and a red Scarf covering his face.
"All ready and good to go!" Ash said to the old man and his mom.
"Alright let us escort you to the lobby and tell the receptionist to not close the door on you," Oak said to Ash and Azami.
As the small group were heading downstairs, they made small talk and Ash even asked why Gary hadn't come with them. The answer surprised Ash and Delia.
As it turns out Gary was attending Elite Four Fighting Master Bruno's fighting camp alongside Eren. When Ash asked why he would try something so hellish as that training camp Oak simply said, "he said something about his flames of youth needing to explode and to train his body so that he could train with his Pokémon or something like that."
Ash had also taken noticed of Gary's change of temperament ever since his apology for bullying him a few months ago. For some strange reason he did a 180 in turn of personality change. Ash theorized that that is how Gary has always been but he feared of being judge by his peers so he hid his true self and did the arrogant jerk guy routine but when he apologized to him it was like something broke and he let out his true self.
Ever since that day Gary had declared him, he's eternal rival and would constantly challenge Ash to whatever contest he came up with. The current score was in favor of Ash.
Soon their conversation came on why they were in Rustboro city. Oak did not divulge much on that since it was League Business but all he said was that he was having a meeting with the head of the Devon Corporation Derrick Stone and Professor Birch.
Ash asked if he was speaking with Champion Steven, but Oak said that he wasn't, but that Derrick would inform him of whatever he discussed with Birch and Stone.
Ash was a little bummed out at not being able to meet the Hoenn Champion, but he did not let it get to him. So, they continued the small talk until they reached the lobby.
After informing the receptionist of where Ash was going, they went to door.
"Okay mister and lady both of you stay close to Charizard and be back before 11:00 okay?" Delia told Ash and Azami who nodded in understanding.
"Alright let's release Charizard outside," Oak said as he took out Charizard's PokeBall.
As soon as they stepped outside the lobby the cold weather immediately hit them and started shivering, even Ash in his coat and Azami started shivering. Delia and Oak where affected more since they didn't bring with them warmer winter clothes and were just wearing a light jacket and pants.
"O-okay Char-Char-Charizard co-come ou-out," Oak said while shivering. In a flash of light, the gigantic form of Charizard materialized and soon after he's internal heat was warming the people around him and melting the snow too.
Charizard was not even bothered by the snow, that melted even before reaching Charizard's body, or the cold weather around him. All Charizard did was look towards the Northeast and then puff out smoke from its mouth.
"Ahh much better," Oak said in a relived matter as he and Delia and Ash and Azami got closer to him for warmth. Charizard didn't mind and just let them be.
"Okay, Charizard the reason I set you out of your PokeBall is because your going to be the bodyguard of young Ash," Oak said but was cut off by a hiss from Azami but continued, "alongside Azami while he goes to the PetalBurg Woods and I don't even need to say that you will be his heating source for him and Azami for them not to freeze to death. Understood?"
The Charizard looked shortly at the young boy and poison user before looking at his trainer and nodding.
"Good. Anything you want to add Delia?" Oak asked the woman with him.
"Please keep my son and Azami safe and warm Charizard. I'm counting on you" Delia said with a sweet smile to the massive Charizard.
Charizard almost looked offended that the young girl would even think that he would let anything happen to her son and his poison user friend. He simply gave her a thumbs up to reassure her.
"Thank you" Delia said before giving a small bow to Charizard and then speaking to her son "Alright mister and lady, stay close to Charizard and be back before 11:00 okay?"
They both nodded and then turned to Charizard and gave another bow to the elder more powerful Pokémon before saying "We'll be in your care Mr. Charizard."
Delia and Oak giggled and Charizard simply gave a low grunt at Ash's odd way at referring towards Oak's Pokémon.
"Alright we'll be heading off mom, professor. We'll return soon!" Ash said as he and Azami and Charizard were starting down the south Road of Rustboro city to reach the PetalBurg Woods.
"Be careful honey!" Delia said to her son.
"Come back soon my boy!" Oak said as well to Ash and the Pokémon with him.
They stood there for a few minutes before the cold beat them and they had to go inside to not catch a cold.
As Ash was walking down the road of Rustboro he was examining the snow-covered city.
Ash has always found the history of Hoenn very interesting to him. As he had read once that Rustboro is the main hub of industry in the Hoenn region, with the Devon Corporation as its beating heart. Rustboro has was always been the heart of the industrial business of Hoenn, even more these days. The reason why it's the center point of the industrial business of Hoenn was because of all the minerals and stones that surrounded it. Many years ago, Rustboro city was an indominable place to try to conquer because of two main reasons the Metagross colony that lived near by and the arrival of the stone family to it.
The Hoenn region has always been a warning state region with all the different war lords of each city and town fighting for dominance and control of Hoenn. It was said thou that whoever controlled Rustboro would be able to control the rest of Hoenn. Many warlords tried but they couldn't get past the Metagross colony that protected their home. In one event whoever, the warlords of the controlled areas of Slateport, Lillycove, and Dewford combined all their forces to overwhelm the Metagross colony and finally take control of the city.
The cities protectors, of that time, the Shiratori family wouldn't be able to withstand or even fight back the combined forces of those three warlords. Just like the Pebbleman family of Pewter City, the Shiratori family used Rock-type Pokémon to defend the cities from outside invaders. It was only because of the Metagross colony that Rustboro never fell under control of the warring warlords of Hoenn but not even them would have been able to withstand an entire army against them.
The situation was dire but the head of the Shiartori family, Onoki Shiratori, started to gather all the forces he had and was ready to try and fight off the invaders along the Metagross colony. The Shiratori family and the Metagross Colony were not strong enough to repel the invading forces but as the situation looked for a bitter and devastating defeat for the forces of the Shiratori family and Metagross colony, a lonesome figure with silver white hair and a Monstrous Metagross alongside him, showed up in the battlefield.
The man and his Metagross single handedly defeated the combined forces of the invaders and were able to drive them away never to attack Rustboro city again.
The people of Rustboro and the Metagross colony were in awe at the power this man displayed with his Metagross that Onoki and the head Metagross begged for him to stay and protect them since they were so weak and wouldn't be able to defend the city if he left. The man agreed to be the protector of Rustboro city and all its inhabitants. That man was the founder and the head of the famous stone family of Hoenn, Arthur Stone.
Thru out the years the stone family has changed its head, with the current head and president of the Devon Corporation being Derrick Stone. The heir of the stone family is the current champion of Hoenn Steven Stone. The stone family is just as influential as the Wataru clan of Johto, or the Shirona family of Sinnoh. the stone family, with all its brilliant children, changed Hoenn from the war-torn region it was into the modern era. They were the one who defeated the last warlord of Hoenn and created the Ever Grande conference/ Hoenn League with the help of Charles Goodshow. They were able to talk with the rest of the leaders of the different territories and were able to convince them to be part of the League and cooperate with one another. The stone family then created the company that would elevate Hoenn to a global powerhouse with the creation of the Devon Corporation. The Devon Corporation is not only the heart of Rustboro but of Hoenn's industrial market. They were the ones that created, and were too soon mass produced the famous Poke Nav and were even the one's who figured out how to revive the Prehistoric Pokémon from nothing but their fossils. They manufactured all the unique Pokeballs that the Hoenn trainers use and have made their purpose to increase the livings of all the people of Hoenn. As their motto said, "For all your living needs, we make it all." The reason why they were also respected among the Pokémon world was because of their partnership/protection of the Metagross colony in Rustboro. Not only are they the protectors of the ones in Rustboro but also around the regions. Many say that there are many Beldum colonies hidden around the regions, but no confirmation has ever been given by the Leagues. Some locations rumored were, Mt Moon of Kanto, Mt Silver of Johto/Kanto, Mt Coronet of Sinnoh, Twist Mountain of Unova, and lastly in Pomace Mountain of Kalos. No rumors or sightings have ever been given for a secret Beldum colony in Alola. No one knows if the rumors are true but if they are the Stone family along with that regions League have done a well job in keeping them safe from Pokémon Poachers. All that were allowed to have a Beldum, if the Beldum didn't choose you, were the Stone Family when they came of Age. The biggest example of this is Champion Steven's Metagross.
Ash then remembered a little bit of the Ever Grande League. The Ever Grande League was not that old in fact, the League was the youngest of the other Leagues. The Ever Grande League was formed after the defeat of the last warlord of Hoenn. Even thou the League is still young it has many powerful trainers and gym leaders as well as the elite four and champion. From what Ash knew the current gym leaders were: Rock type Linda Shiratori for Rustboro city (A/N: Roxane's mom since she is still young), Fighting Type Brawly Toki for Dewford Town, Electric Type Wattson Tessen for Mauville City, Fire Type Flannery Asuna for Lavaridge Town, Normal type Norman Maple for Petalburg City, Flying type Winona Nagi for Fortree City, Psychic type Charlotte Iwatami for Mossdeep City (A/N: Tate and Liza, too young) and lastly Water Type Juan Adan for Sootopolis City.
Then there were the Elite Four in Dark Type Master Sydney Kagetsu, Ghost type master, and Kanto native, Phoebe Fuyo, Ice type master Glacia Prim, Dragon master and former Hoenn Champion Drake Wataru. Lastly there was the current Hoenn Champion Steel type master Steven Stone, and runner up Wallace Rowan. From what Ash knew Contest king Wallace Rowan was still trying to take Champion Steven's tittle. From what he heard he was getting closer in achieving it.
Ash always found it odd that a well-known Contest Pokémon trainer was trying to become Pokemon champion, but he didn't mind it. Ash believed that you decided how you want to journey and if you wanted to be a Pokémon Trainer/Coordinator then go for it and give it your best shot.
For Ash he was cool staying with just battles and going for the League, but he had nothing against Pokémon Contests, his mother always watched them and the Showcases of Kalos. He would sit for hours watching a contest or a showcase with his mom. Then Ash mind went to how the contest came to be.
From what Ash had read, the Pokémon contest and Showcases were there for many years but were hidden because back then it was just of battle, not making your Pokémon do tricks. That trend went on for many years, but it wasn't until Mr. Contesta invested money to put on the first Pokemon contest show in Hoenn that it really took off. Contesta made a gamble and the gamble paid off by all the wonderful performances that the trainers made. It was because of the great success of Contests in Hoenn that it began to spread to the other regions like Kanto, Johto. Sinnoh were it became prominent. It was in Sinnoh, however, that a new feature of the Contest came to be in the creation of the Capsule PokeBall for very unique entrances after releasing a Pokémon. From what Ash knew of the judging criteria it was first a showcase were the Pokémon made unique moves with their own moves and then the Judges would deliberate, and a total o 8 coordinators would pass on to the next round. The next round was that of battling but with a health bar, where points would be taken off if the other Pokémon did something fancy, and a five minute limit match where if the Pokémon's were knocked out, or the opponent's health bar ran out, or even when the time finished whoever had the most points, would win the match. At the end the winner would be given a contest ribbon, which would be the equivalent of a gym badge, and then-after gathering four more- be able to participate in the Grand festival, which would be the equivalent to the Indigo League tournament.
Ash let out a groan escape his lips when remembered when his mom made him watch the entirety of the Grand Festival with her. Charizard and Azami looked at him quizzically but Ash just waved off their concern.
"It's nothing, I was just remembering something." Ash told both Pokémon.
Charizard and Azami decided to trust Ash's words and just let it be.
Ash had been so lost in thought that he reached the snow-covered PetalBurg Woods without even knowing it.
"Wow when did we get her so fast?" Ash asked the Pokémon with him who just Shrugged at him.
"Okay before we go in, I want to tell you why I wanted to come here," Ash said with a serious face to both Pokémon who got serious the moment they saw Ash's face.
"Okay the reason why we're here is because while me and Azami were watching outside the window, I could have sworn a saw a small flash of light coming from here," Ash said in a serious tone. The Pokémon were listening intently to his every word.
"I don't know if its anything bad or even important, but for some reason I felt the urge to come here and investigate what it was. The reason I did not tell mom or Professor Oak was because if I told them that I wanted to come here just for a light that might have not even appeared, they would have said no." Ash said but then looked at Azami and Charizard, "could you guys help me out in investigating this?"
Azami quickly nodded but Charizard thought a little bit more about the situation. Many would always think of him as a brutish fighter that just goes blazing in on a situation, but that was not him, his trainer thought him that much. After a few moments of thought Charizard looked at young Ash and the poison user and simply nodded to them while puffing out a ball of smoke from his mouth.
"Thank you, Mr. Charizard. Me and Azami really appreciate it" Ash said as he and Azami gave a small bow to Charizard.
Charizard simply snorted at the child's odd behavior and waited patiently for the child to lead them. He would protect this child and his poison user friend with his life if there was an emergency.
"All right lets go," Ash said as he strode first with Charizard and Azami following behind him.
(A/N: Inside the Petalburg Woods)
All that there was too see was snow, snow, and more snow. However, some of that snow was being melted by Charizard's incredible body heat and the flame on his tail.
Ash could see many of the local Pokémon huddled together trying to stay warm but still shivering. Ash could understand that because these Pokémon were no accustomed for a sudden cold weather, and if it was cause by the Legendary bird of Ice, even more so.
"I hope Articuno, doesn't stay here for long otherwise he's going to affect all the local Pokémon and environment in a wrong way." Ash thought to himself.
As they were continuing too look around, they found nothing of that mysterious light that appeared briefly. As they were continuing too look around time passed, and it was getting late and even more cold. Ash and Azami were sticking even closer to Charizard to warm themselves a little.
"Sigh" Ash sighed with frost air coming from his mouth but continued, "Guess I was just imagining things. Let's go back before it gets colder and mom yells at me. Sorry for bringing you two out here." Ash said the last part to Charizard and Azami. Charizard and Azami didn't mind and just waved him off with their claws/tail.
Ash simply nodded at that and as he was about to go, he heard something call out for help.
"Did you guys here that?" Ash said to the Pokémon who looked at him in confusion not hearing anything,
"I could have sworn I heard a plea for help" Ash said as he was looking around where they were.
Charizard and Azami started too look around as well but didn't hear anything resembling a cry for help. As Charizard was about to pick up Ash too take him home. He stopped then turned his great head to a direction of the forest and looked intently at it for a while, he then motioned for Azami to look and hear at where he was looking at too see if he did not just hear things. Azami did as she was told and started to listen closely and, just like Charizard, she heard something. She then looked at Charizard and both nodded to each other.
"Did you hear anything?" Ash said to Charizard and Azami.
They nodded.
"Is it dangerous?"
Another nod.
"Okay then let's-" Ash was cut off again when he unconsciously moved his body to the direction he heard the plea for help.
Charizard and Azami were surprised by this but followed Ash to wherever he was going, as long as Charizard was there he won't let anything happen to Ash. Azami was of the same mentality.
Ash had no idea where he was going, he was just moving on pure instinct as if something was moving his body to wherever it was that it was going.
The only thought in his mind was "Don't worry we're coming, we'll save you."
(A/N: In a small clearing covered in snow)
Gardevoir was almost completely covered in snow and she was just so tired and sleepy. Gardevoir wanted nothing more than to sleep but something in her kept her awake as if it not wanting her to go to sleep.
Gardevoir was losing hope so, with cold tears falling from her eyes, she gave one last soft cry for help in hope of anyone coming to save her.
"Somebody, anybody, please help me."
As she heard nothing but footsteps coming towards her, she gave up and just waited for the inevitable to happen.
"Hello, are you okay?" a voice said to her.
That voice was Ash.
(A/N: Same thing that just happened but from Ash's perspective)
He was getting closer. Ash could just feel it.
Ash knew Charizard and Azami were close behind him, so he didn't wait for them.
Then Ash clearly heard it, a soft cry for help.
"Somebody, anybody, please help me."
Ash hurried up his pace until he got to a pair of bushes that led to a small clearing.
After asking Charizard and Azami to cut the Bushes for him he saw it.
In the small clearing there was a Pokémon covered, almost fully, in snow.
"A Gardevoir?" Ash asked no one in particular. Azami looked shocked at seeing a Pokémon out here in the freezing cold and snow but more so that it looked like it was about to sleep. Charizard simply looked with a stone face.
"what is a Gradevoir doing here?" Ash asked again more to himself than anyone.
Ash definitely knew that the Pokémon being covered by the snow was a Gardevoir. But why was it here. The common Pokémon of the Petaburg woods were Poochyena, Zigzagoon, Wurmple, Silcoon, Cascoon, Tailow, Shroomish, and Slakoth, or so he read.
But there in the clearing was a fully evolved Gardevoir being covered by the falling snow.
"It looks like its hurt," he said to his companions who nodded at him, "Lets go before she falls asleep and doesn't wake up." Azami and Charizard nodded and followed him.
As they were getting closer the snow was melting off because of Charizard and as they were in front of Gardevoir the snow had mostly been melt off her.
Ash bent down and then said, "Hello are you okay?"
The Gardevoir looked in shock and fear at him. Shock because somebody heard her and fear because it was a man, a scary Dragon, and a scary Snake.
Ash saw the fear in her eyes and tried to reassure her, "there, there we won't hurt you" Ash said with a warm smile on his face while rubbing the Gardevoir's head.
Gardevoir wanted to be scared of him but something from this man just made her trust him. She didn't know what it was, but she trusted this man. She leaned into his touch.
Ash seeing that the Gardevoir was responding positively to him continued, "where you the one that caused that bright light?" He said gently to her.
Gardevoir nodded thanking Arceus somebody had seen her.
"Where you trying to escape from something or somebody?" He continued sternly but gently.
Another nod was his answer.
"Is that someone a person with Pokémon that was trying to hurt you?" He said again.
A tearful Nod was his answer.
Ash sighed at this but continued, "It doesn't matter we are here to save you and we won't let anyone hurt you ever again…. I promise you with my life." Ash said with a fire burning in his chest and with Charizard and Azami nodding again with that passion in their eyes.
The Gardevoir was struck by these strangers and the man's declaration of wanting to protect her. They barely knew her and here they were wanting to protect her from that other mean man.
It seems her daddy hadn't left her and was just gone for a while but was looking for her, that's what she believed from her mind to her heart. This man was her daddy, he looked different from when she originally saw him for the first time, but he was her daddy and she was glad her daddy had come back to save her.
She began to cry tears of joy, forgetting everything around her, and weakly hugged her daddy and buried her face in his chest.
Ash was taken by surprise by Gardevoir's actions, but he welcomed them and hugged her back while rubbing her back and saying, "Your safe now. Nothing bad will ever happen to you."
Gardevoir continued to cry tears of joy. Ash and she were in that embrace for a while but soon Ash felt that Gardevoir was beginning to shake again with the cold, so he called for Charizard.
"Mr. Charizard could you get closer please?" he asked the Charizard.
Charizard nodded and got closer to both of them.
As he got closer Gardevoir was starting to shake less and less, she wondered why and after moving her face out of her daddy's chest she saw that the dragon was close to them. She got scared and hid behind her daddy.
Ash and Charizard simply chuckled at this before Ash saying, "Its okay Gardevoir this is Mr. Charizard," he said while pointing at the fire creature but continued soon after, "he is a close friend of mine and he's the reason why your warm."
Gardevoir was still hiding behind her daddy but peeked her head out a little bit to look at the dragon who simply waved at her.
"See he isn't that bad. He might be big and scary and tough looking but he's a big softie on the inside" Ash said with Charizard Nodding accepting that fact of him that only his comrades, his trainer, and the boy knew.
Gardevoir couldn't believe that scary looking Dragon was her daddy's friend or even more that he was nice but decided to trust her daddy. She was a good girl after all, so she timidly waved backed at him.
Ash just petted her head and said, "see you'll get used to him quickly," he said before pointing towards Azami.
"And that one is my best friend, almost sister, Azami" Ash said to Gardevoir.
As Azami was going to say hello to Gardevoir, she collapsed behind Ash while grabbing her lower area.
"Gardevoir what's wron-" Ash was saying when he turned around but stopped when he saw how red Gardevoir was in the face and seeing how she was grabbing her lower area.
"Gardevoir what's wrong? Are you feeling bad?" Ash said to Gardevoir in worry at seeing her.
"She is clearly in pain," Ash thought.
"Does she have a fever," he thought again before touching her forehead, "she is clearly heating up, but this does not even feel like a fever."
While Ash was checking on Gardevoir Charizard and Azami started to look around, hearing that something or someone's where approaching and fast.
Suddenly Ash smelled something coming from Gardevoir.
"What is that smell? Its so strong and potent." Ash said to himself as he was trying to figure out what that smell was.
Charizard and Azami smelled what Ash was smelling and soon their faces turned into a scowl at figuring out what that smell was.
Ash was wracking his brain to figure out what that smell was, "Come on Ash think" he said to himself. Then his eyes shot open in realization.
"Wait could it be?" he said as he was examining Gardevoir's body one more time.
"Red face, Body heating up, her garbing her lower area," Ash said but then continued, "it has to be the effects of an Attract attack upon her."
Ash saw it clearly that it was an Attract attack, but he had never seen an attack like that affect a Pokémon so much as it was affecting Gardevoir. Usually the Attract attack was not that potent when used against a Pokémon of the opposite gender but Gardevoir was literally suffering from the effects of it.
"What could have caused this?" Ash though to himself.
Soon after he moved closer to Gardevoir and started to rub her back in hope of loosening her pain even by a little bit.
Gardevoir was still in pain but the soothing touch of her daddy was helping her. Then her daddy spoke to her.
"Gardevoir is your current condition caused because of an Attract attack?" Ash asked her.
Gardevoir didn't know what "Attract attack" was but she remembered the mean man saying something about Attract, so she nodded her head.
"I figured as much?" Ash said with a grim look.
Charizard and Azami were still looking around ready for anything that might pop out.
"Was this caused by one of the local Pokémon?" Ash asked again to Gardevoir.
Surprisingly Gardevoir shook her head no.
"What? This wasn't caused by a Pokémon?" Ash said.
Another shake of no.
"Then what caused this Gardevoir?" Ash said with a stern yet gentle voice. Charizard's and Azami's attention were brought back to them when she said no.
Gardevoir then pointed at Ash.
"Me?" Ash was shocked at her answer.
She shook her head again in no.
"Wait, you don't mean me but a human?" Ash said again in shock at what she was implying.
She nodded her head yes.
"what could a human want with…using…attract…on…a…Pokémon?" Ash said as his eyes were even more open but this time with pure fury on his gaze.
"PokeFillia" Ash said with a voice colder than the snow around them. Azami looked furious at what her friend had just said and Charizard's face became unreadable but there was fury in his eyes.
There was no denying it somehow someone got ahold of the dangerous Attract pheromone and used it on the poor Gardevoir. That was the reason her body was so hot, and she was grabbing her lower area. Gardevoir had been affected by a potent dose of the Attract pheromone.
"Gardevoir did some human tried to rape you?" Ash said with barely controlled fury in his tone.
Gardevoir did not understand what her daddy was saying but she most have figured out that "rape" was what the mean man wanted to do to her. She nodded to Ash.
"Then that light that appeared was you using Teleportation to escape from him, right?" he said again to which she nodded.
"Dam it. Sick bastards trying to rape a Gardevoir" Ash said again but this time with venom in every word he said.
Pokefillia was a practice that humans did regularly on human-like Pokémon in the olden times. It wasn't until the Indigo League, and Sinnoh League stopped this disgusting practice by making it illegal and promising death on all that tried it again on any female Pokemon. Soon after the rest of the Leagues followed Indigo and Sinnoh's example and made it illegal. The Practice had stopped but there were still those that had a PokeFillia fetish, but they were in hiding.
"This Gardevoir had almost been a victim of Rape by a sick bastard" Ash said loud enough for Azami and Charizard to hear him.
Azami looked furious at the thought of someone trying to rape this innocent child, her pupils became slits and her tail started to shake in anger, her fangs were dripping venom. Charizard, on the contrary, was doing his absolute best to try and remain calm and believe him he was trying. He wanted nothing more than the man to come so he could burn him to almost death because of him trying to rape this hatchling. Charizard and Azami knew that Gardevoir was not supposed to be in her last form, she was still a baby who was forced into her final form extremely prematurely.
Gardevoir did not understand why her daddy, and the dragon, and the scary snake were so angry about. So, she began to think they were angry at her and started to cry again in fear of punishment from her daddy.
Ash saw this and immediately calmed down while motioning to Charizard and Azami to calm down because they were scaring Gardevoir. They calmed down at seeing the child's trembling form.
Ash then put his hand on her head and said, "don't be sacred I'm not angry at you."
Gardevoir was happy because her daddy was not angry at her and felt happy at seeing her daddy's smile.
"Sigh," he sighed but continued, "sadly I have nothing with me to cure you of your status effect. So, we need to take you to the Pokémon center in Rustboro city for Nurse joy to help you out." He said to her while still rubbing her head.
"We also need to inform Professor Oak and Officer Jenny about this, so they could investigate the woods. This crime will not go unpunished." Ash said to Azami and Charizard as he was still rubbing Gardevoir's head.
He then stopped and stood up.
Gardevoir was enjoying her daddy's petting, she had forgot about her body being hot, but was sad he had stopped, but then she got scared when she saw him ready to leave. She thought he was leaving her so, with the strength she had, grabbed on his coat in hope of him not leaving her.
Ash saw this and gave a warm smile to her before saying, "I'm not going anywhere. In fact, you're coming with us to Rustboro to heal you."
Gardevoir did not understand but nodded trusting her daddy.
"Alright then, Azami come and help me pick her up and then Mr. Charizard can carry her to Rustboro," Ash said to Charizard and Azami. With the latter slithering her way to her friend.
Gardevoir saw the scary snake approaching them and got a little scared that she was going to hurt them.
Ash saw this and immediately reassured her, "don't worry Gardevoir, this is Azami. She is my best friend and she is going to help me pick you up, since your taller than me and I'm not that strong yet."
Azami simply smiled at her and waved with her tail.
Gardevoir was to tired to complain so she decided to trust her daddy and left everything to him.
"Come on Azami, she needs to rest. This must have been a long day for her," Ash said to Azami.
Azami nodded and slithered until she was next to the baby and started picking her up with her head with Ash helping her as much as he could.
Then suddenly a volley of Flamethrower, Dark Pulses, Hidden Power, Shadow Balls, and Pin Missile attacks were headed to them.
Ash seeing this immediately, almost unconsciously, grabbed Gardevoir, brought her close to his chest and put his body in between her and the oncoming attacks.
Gardevoir was scared when she saw the flashy lights coming towards them but then she felt safe when her daddy grabbed her and put her close to his chest. She knew her daddy was going to protect her.
Azami at seeing the oncoming attacks immediately headed for her friend and coiled protectively around him with her whole body in hope of protecting him from the attacks.
Charizard saw the attacks, snarled at them, and then stood in front of Ash and the Poison user and the baby to protect them. Charizard covered his body with his massive wings to shield him. He knew his wings could take the combine attacks headed towards them. If they could protect him from the massive water blast from the penguin and from the ghostly attacks from the ghost, then this was nothing to him.
The attacks collided onto Charizard and a miniature explosion occurred.
As Ash felt nothing hit him, he picked up his head too see what happened. He saw that Azami was coiled around him but from a space between the coiled Azami he saw Charizard had taken the combine attacks.
"Azami remove yourself, I need to make sure Mr. Charizard is okay." Ash said to Azami.
Azami was reluctant at first but uncoiled a little less from her friend and the baby.
Before looking at Charizard, Ash looked at Azami to make sure she was okay. Gardevoir's face was buried on his chest while holding him with all her strength and not letting go.
Ash then looked backed at Charizard to make sure if he was okay.
"Mr. Charizard! Are you Okay?!" Ash yelled in worry for the old Charizard.
Charizard almost snorted at Ash's worry but instead gave him a claw up. He then looked in a threatening matter at those that dared attack the one he was in charge of protecting, these fools would pay dearly for this attack.
Ash was relived that Charizard was okay but then looked at what fired the combine attacks. He saw a Rattata, Houndour, Poochyena, Sableye, two Mightyena, three Haunters and one Cacturne standing still as if waiting their next command.
"Why would those Pokémon attack us?" Ash said quietly.
What caught Ash by surprise was those dead eyes in the Pokémon. It was almost as they had no life and were juts carcasses waiting for whatever order they were told to do.
"Those Pokémon are completely broken" he said loud enough for Charizard and Azami to hear. Azami was shocked but then she became even more furious at what her friend had said about the Pokémon.
Charizard could have guessed that at seeing how dead they looked. Those things were no longer Pokémon's but mere tools to be used. Poor miserable souls. Charizard then got so angry at seeing them because someone had to have done this to them and that someone was going to pay dearly.
Then Ash, Charizard, and Azami heard someone laughing as that person was coming to them. Soon after a couple of Air Slashes shot out from the forest and headed for Ash again. Charizard stopped them by a mere flap from his wings. Then he snarled at the one who ordered that attack.
Ash then felt Gardevoir trembling on his arms and had buried her face in his chest even more deeply as if she was trying to hide inside him.
"This must be the one that almost raped her" Ash said with fury on his tone. Azami hissed at where the Air Slash came from and Charizard snarled even more.
"what is a brat doing outside this late into the night? Shouldn't you be asleep already kid?" a man said as he stepped out the forest revealing himself and a Golbat with him.
Ash saw the man and then his eyes widened at seeing the red R on the man's chest. Azami hissed even more and venom was dropping from her fangs and Charizard was out right Growling at the man.
"Team Rocket" Ash said.
"That's right kid" the man said with a wicked smile on his face.
"What are you doing here in Hoenn?!" Ash yelled to the Rocket.
"It doesn't concern you brat" the man said again.
Ash knew he was not going to get anything more out of the man, so he started calming himself down and started to think of ways to either escape the man or fight him with Azami and Charizard.
The man's gaze then drifted off to the shaking form of Gardevoir in the boy's arms.
"I think you have something that belongs to me brat and I want it back" the man said with another evil smile on his face.
Gardevoir at seeing the man started to cry in fear and was trying to hide even deeper into her daddy.
"You were the one who did this didn't you?" Ash said in an emotionless tone.
The man was caught off guard at the tone of the kid but replied, "yeah what about it? We were having a wonderful time until the bitch decided to teleport away from me."
"You sick Fuck," Ash said in a snarl. Azami and Charizard were no better than Ash, they were getting angrier and angrier by the minute.
"Hahahahah, that I am but I just can't help it. I love fucking all female Pokémon. You have no idea how many I've fucked already kid!" the man said in a maniacal tone.
"You've done this to more Pokémon?" Ash asked again.
"That's right and all I am missing to Fuck is that Gardevoir in your arms!" the man said as he began licking his lips. Then he looked lustfully at Ash.
"Hehe, you aren't that bad looking yourself kid. You look quite yummy," the man said as he was looking at Ash from up to down.
"you disgust me." Ash said in a disgusted tone at what the man was saying.
"Awe you hurt me kid." He said in fake hurt but continued, "Come on kid come with me and call back those Pokémon of yours, and I'll show you the pleasures of being with an adult."
Ash simply flipped him off.
"Hahaha, that's how I like them! They start out feisty and then I break them, in both ways" the man said.
"Your going to pay for this," Ash said to the Pedophile.
"Oh, I'm am so going to enjoy breaking you after I've fucked that Gardevoir," the man said then paused and looked at the Pokémon that were with him before giving out his orders.
"Well what are you waiting for, all of you attack and bring me the kid and the Gardevoir," he said before looking at Azami and Charizard, "and kill those two Pokémon. They won't be able to withstand your combined assault, Now go!"
At go the Pokémon immediately rushed to Charizard to try to get to Ash.
Charizard was a little excited at this and waited for the fools to get close to him.
"Azami you stay here and protect me and Gardevoir in the case any of those Pokémon get past Mr. Charizard," Ash told Azami as he saw Charizard getting ready to fight. Ash knew Charizard could handle all those Pokémon by himself, he was the main Pokémon of legendary trainer Samuel oak after all.
Azami knew this as well and decided to stay behind and not get in his way. She wasn't strong enough right now, but she knew she would one day be just as strong or even stronger than him.
As the Pokémon got closer the Rattata and Poochyena tried to jump at Charizard with a super fang and a bite attack but Charizard saw it coming a mile away and simply used his enormous tail to swat the tiny mouse and pup away. The tail strike broke every single bone in the small mouse's and pup's bodies by the sheer force of the impact be the muscular tail had knocked them out instantly when the mouse and pup crashed into a nearby tree.
The Houndour then tried a Flamethrower attack at Charizard but Charizard simply waved the fire off with a flap from his right wing and showed the fire pup a true Flamethrower. The pup was not ready and was consumed by the fire and knocked out at the same time.
After that the two Mightyena jumped onto Charizard and bit onto his wings to hurt him. Charizard was more annoyed than hurt at the dark pups' bight. Guess he was getting rusty in his old age.
Charizard tried to shake them off his wings but they had really struck their teeth in his wings. While he was trying to shake them off, the three ghosts and diamond eyed child appeared in front of him and fired three Shadow Balls and a Dark Pulse towards him. Charizard then got an idea.
As the attacks were getting closer to him, he spun around and made the attacks hit the dark pups instead of him.
The Mightyena howled in pain but Charizard gave them no chance to recover because in the blink of an eye, he was in front of both of them and delivered 2 massive Fire Punches to both Mightyena that sent them crashing to another tree. The trees had no chance and broke on the impact of the Mightyena.
Charizard then looked at his wings and saw that they were bleeding from where the pups bit him. He paid no attention and then looked at the other Pokémon with a vicious smirk on his face.
The Pokémon stopped momentarily but then a scream got their attention back.
"What are you doing you idiots?! Its just one dam Charizard! Kill him for Fucks sake!" the man yelled in anger.
The Haunters and Sableye just nodded, remembering their conditioning, and ran/floated at the Charizard not caring for their lives anymore.
(A/N: With Ash)
Ash was not surprised that Charizard was completely dominating the Pokémon that were attacking him. The biggest mistake someone could make when facing the old Charizard was to underestimate him because of his old age.
The man had just done that. He believed in quantity over quality and he severely underestimated Charizard.
Charizard might be old but is still a Champion level Pokémon that could give Lance's Dragonites a run for their money.
Currently Ash was seeing Charizard battle a four on one assault against him. He saw how easily Charizard had dispatched of the Rattata and Poochyena with just his tail. He almost winced at hearing their bones break.
Then he saw the ingenuity of Charizard as he spun around so that the pair of Mightyena would get hit with the Shadow ball/Dark Pulse combo. He then delivered those massive Fire Punches to finish them.
"Amazing," Ash though in wonder at seeing Charizard easily battle the Haunters and Sableye.
In that moment he swore to himself that when he began his journey, he would have a team stronger than the amazing Charizard battling in front of him.
Azami was just as amazed as Ash and, like Ash, swore to herself that she would get as strong or stronger than Charizard. She then looked at Ash for a little bit and went back at looking at the battle. She would become so strong with and for her best friend Ash.
Gardevoir was still weak and tired but she was watching the battle from her daddy's chest. She was amazed at how strong the old dragon was. Then she looked at Ash and her respect/admiration/love for him grew because he was protecting her with his body. She knew her daddy and the dragon and the scary snake would protect her from the mean man.
In the Shadows of the snow-covered trees Cacturne was lurking and waiting for the right time to attack the child and the Poison user and take back the Psychic user to his master. Cacturne felt nothing at seeing his companions getting demolished at the hands of the old fire user, he was just here to complete the order his master gave him. He knew the old fire user would instantly knock him out with just a fire aimed at him because of his type disadvantage, so he decided to hide in the shadows and wait to attack. The plan had worked as the old fire user had forgotten about him because of the assault of his companions. So, he was able to sneak in and was waiting for an opening to attack. Like now! He then dashed out with his arms ready with a Needle Arm attack.
Everyone was so distracted by the battle playing out Infront that no one noticed the incoming Cacturne.
Ash then felt something headed towards him and turned his head so hard, towards six o'clock, that he almost snapped it. Then his eyes widened when he saw the Cacturne that was with the man heading towards him with a Needle Arm attack meant for him. Ash knew that if that attack hit him, he would die from internal bleeding because that attack would destroy his organs. Human bodies are not meant to take Pokémon attacks, especially a child's one.
As the Cacturne got closer, Ash's face went blank and then brought Gardevoir closer to him before yelling, "Azami Poison Tail towards your six o'clock!"
Azami, almost instinctively, uncoiled herself from her friend and child and reared her tail back as it began to glow purple with her poison, and then smashed it upon a Dark user's head so hard to the ground the ground cracked on impact. She did all that as soon as her friend's sentence ended.
When the dust settled the Cacturne was unconscious on the ground by the incredible force behind the Poison Tail.
"Dam it, useless creatures" the man cursed under his breath as he saw the Cacturne knocked out by the Poison tail of the kids Pokémon. He then got angrier at seeing the Haunters and Sableye defeated and knocked out under the Charizard's massive form.
Charizard had already finished of the Ghosts and diamond eye child, without much of a struggle, and headed towards Ash too see if he was okay. He was relieved when he saw the attacker knocked out on the ground and then gave a approving nod towards the Poison user, who returned it to him. Then he got angry at himself for letting the Dark User get the slip on him and get close to Ash. He had gotten rusty, but he promised himself he would train again to re sharpen his senses.
Gardevoir was shaking at seeing the scary scarecrow but a soothing hand from her daddy calmed her nerves. She looked up at her daddy's smiling face and felt calm. She was scared when her daddy screamed something and then seeing the scarecrow heading towards her daddy with glowing arms. She felt the worst coming for her daddy and grabbed onto him but was soon surprised when the scary snake hit the scarecrows head with her glowing purple tail. The scarecrow didn't move after the hit and she felt happy her daddy was okay, in fact the heat her body was feeling was starting to go away by just being close to her daddy. She didn't know what it was, but she just felt safe and warm next to him and she loved it.
"Dam it! Air Slash Golbat!" the man yelled in anger.
Then a pair of Air Slashes headed towards them but Charizard blocked them by using a miniature Fire Spin as a shield.
"Dam it How! Why is that Fucking Charizard so strong?!" the man yelled in anger at seeing the Air Slashes fail.
Ash decided to humor the man, since clearly, he had lost, "you really don't know who this Charizard is don't you idiot?"
"Why the fuck does it matter who that Charizard is?! Isn't he yours?!" the man yelled in anger.
"Hehehe. You fool this Charizard is not mine or any regular Charizard," Ash said calmly in a condescending tone towards the man. Azami was hissing in amusement and Charizard closed his eyes while simply giving a cocky smirk. They all knew what was coming. Gardevoir was completely lost.
"Get to the point already you brat!" the man said getting angrier at the tone of voice of the kid.
"Very well. This Charizard is the main Pokemon of the Legendary former Pokémon trainer Samuel Oak," Ash said in an amused tone at seeing the shock in the man's face. Azami hissed in amusement and Charizard puffed out smoke from his mouth before looking directly at the man.
"N-no wa-way th-that can-can't be o-Oak's Chari-Charizard," the man said not believing Ash.
"Oh, is he not? Well believe it he is." Ash said again.
"What the hell are you doing with Oak's fucking Charizard?! Is Oak here dam it?! Shit I need to get back to base!" the man yelled and then realized what his last statement was.
"You have a base here?" Ash said hearing the man's last statement.
"Shit," the man cursed before looking at his Golbat, "Golbat stop him at any cost! Don't let that fucking thing get close to me! I need to get back to base and inform Archer or the Boss!"
Golbat knew he had no chance but nodded and stood in front of the man as he was getting ready to escape.
Ash didn't have time to think about who Archer or the Boss were because he saw the man was about to run for it. Ash was not going to let that happen.
"Charizard use your Flame Charge and knock out that Golbat and Azami use Agility to catch the man," Ash said with enough seriousness that reminded Charizard of a younger version of his trainer, he nodded, and Azami simply nodded and began moving at high speeds toward the man. Charizard didn't want to be outdone and began flying just barely above the ground and heading towards the bat.
Golbat saw the oncoming Poison user and the old Dragon engulfed in his flames heading towards him and he closed his eyes and simply attacked, knowing he wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
"Dam it attack Golbat!" the man yelled to the resigned bat as he began running away.
As Golbat was going to attack with a Wing Attack he was smashed by the flaming dragon and was sent flying to another tree. Golbat wasn't unconscious at impact, as the other Pokémon were, but his body simply didn't obey him. Golbat just stayed there as the snow was covering him.
Charizard stopped when his attack was finished and stared at the Bat for a little bit. He saw that there was regret, shame, and sadness in the Golbat's eyes. He simply sighs and followed the coward as he was trying to flee. His trainer would deal with the bat later.
"Dam it! Stupid Fucking Golbat! Useless to the very end!" the man cursed in anger.
He then stopped and fell to the snow-covered ground after hitting something that was in front of him.
"Dam it get out of…the…way" the man said as he looked at the massive form of Charizard in front of him.
"Shit" the man said before pulling out the electric baton he had brought with him, to try and hit the Charizard.
As the man was about to sling his baton towards the unmoving Charizard, he felt something grab his baton and yanking it away from him.
"What the hell?!" the man yelled before turning around to see what had taken his baton away from him.
It was the kid's dam snake and it was just tossing it up and down on its tail while it was laughing at him.
"Give it back you dam Snake!" the man yelled towards Azami.
Azami, instead of giving to him, throwed the baton up in the air before it was engulfed in a massive Flamethrower from Charizard. There were no ashes left of it.
The man was shocked but tried again to make a run for it but was stopped when Charizard grabbed him by the collar of his coat and shirt and picked him up and not letting go.
"Dam it let me go you dam Pokémon!" the man said while struggling in Charizard's mighty grip.
Charizard then looked at Azami and both nodded towards each other before heading back to Ash. The man was flailing all the way.
(A/N: Back with Ash)
Ash was still holding onto Gardevoir but was looking at where Charizard and Azami had left to. He was not worried he knew Charizard and Azami could handle themselves. He then looked back at the Gardevoir who was a little sleepy, so Ash began talking to her.
"I'm sorry you had to go thru all this but your safe now and once we take you back to Rustboro City, Nurse joy will heal you up," Ash said with a warm smile adorning his face.
Gardevoir simply nodded at her daddy and was about to try to sleep again but her daddy spoke again.
"How about I give you name?" Ash said while looking at the Gardevoir.
Gardevoir didn't know what a "name" was but she figured it was what all the white clothed men called her. So, she figured her name was Gardevoir as that is what everyone called her. Now there was her daddy wanting to give her a name and she smiled and nodded vigorously at him.
Ash smiled at Gardevoir's enthusiasm and began thinking for a good name for the Gardevoir. Ash came up with many names in his mind but none of them seem to fit her.
Ash then looked around the snow-covered woods and then at the sky and saw the beautiful white snow falling onto him and Gardevoir. He then looked at Gardevoir and saw how cute she looked under the snowflakes that were falling onto her face. His mind then clicked and came up with the perfect name for her.
"Yuki. That will be your name," Ash said with a warm smile on his face but continued, "That is if you want?"
Gardevoir tilted her head in confusion but her daddy simply gave a small chuckle before explaining to her what Yuki meant.
"you don't know what Yuki means don't you?" Ash got his answer at her shake and continued, "Yuki means "snow princess."
"Snow princess?" Gardevoir said in her mind with Ash not hearing her.
"You want to know why I want to call you Yuki?" Ash asked he and at her nod he elaborated, "the reason is because of the snow around us" he said as he waved his hand motioning to the snow around them.
Gardevoir saw how pretty the snow looked around her and her daddy but her attention was brought to him when he talked.
"I found you covered in snow," Ash told her, "and you look so cute with the snow around us. You truly look like a snow princess."
Gardevoir blushed in embarrassment at her daddy calling her cute and buried her face deeper into his chest.
"Hehe, so what do you say? Do you like the name Yuki?" Ash asked the blushing Gardevoir in his chest.
"Yes Yuki. Yuki is Snow princess of daddy," Gardevoir said in her mind and nodding, while still buried in Ash's chest.
"Alright from this day on your name is Yuki!" Ash said to the now named Yuki.
Yuki then hugged her daddy again happy at her name. The hotness in her body slowly fading away.
Ash simply hugged her back but noticed her body wasn't so hot anymore and the blush on her face lessened.
"Is the Attract Pheromone fading off?" Ash though to himself while hugging Yuki.
Soon Ash's and Yuki's attention were brought back when they heard a man yelling curses.
Ash saw that Charizard and Azami had captured the man and Charizard was currently holding him up in his hand.
"Dam it you'll pay for this! All of you!" the man yelled in anger.
Charizard and Azami had gotten tired at the man's screaming and hissed and snarled, respectively, in a threatening fashion to shut him up. The man shut up.
Charizard and Azami then saw Ash was okay, and Azami bolted off to her friend to really make sure he was okay. Charizard simply gave a sigh in relief.
Ash was caught off guard when Azami was Infront of him checking him all over to make sure he was okay.
"I'm fine Azami don't worry about it." Ash said to his best friend while scratching behind her head that made Azami purr in delight.
Charizard then approached them, with the man still on his hold, and gave Ash a nod of respect to which Ash returned. Charizard then simply dropped the man on the floor in front of Ash and stood behind the man to prevent him from escaping if he tried.
"What are you doing here and where is your base?" Ash said in a calm manner with Azami next to him glaring at the man.
"Fuck You! I ain't telling shit to a Fucking brat!" the man screamed in anger at Ash.
Ash knew the man wasn't going to talk more after that, so he came up with a plan that was sure to give him a headache and possibly grounded for life.
"Very well. If you wont talk to me then you'd prefer talking to Professor Oak, Officer Jenny, Linda Shiratori, and Derrick Stone." Ash said in a calm tone.
"There is no Fucking way you know all those people!" the man yelled in disbelief.
"I don't but Professor Oak does. Me and my mom came with him in his business trip to Rustboro City with Derrick Stone," Ash said in an amused tone as he was seeing the man ready to pee in his pants.
"Fuck," the man simply said knowing he was screwed.
"Indeed, but as you don't want to talk to me, I guess there is nothing to it, Ash said and then looked at Charizard, "Mr. Charizard will you be a dear and go get Professor Oak and my mom?"
Charizard was doubtful at leaving Ash alone but a look from Azami reassured him that Ash would be okay as long as she was there. With a nod he stretched his wide wings open and then took off back to Rustboro to inform his trainer.
The second Charizard was out of sight the man got up and tried to make a run for it but was immobilized when the snake coiled around him.
"Agh! Dam it let me go you dam snake!" the man yelled in pain as the snake was wrapping herself with much force around him.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. She is already pissed of at you, you don't want to make her angrier," Ash told the man.
"Ugh, you'll pay for this you fucking brat! I swear one I escape I'll find you and then I'll Fuck your mom right in front of you and then kill her. Then I'll kill you and Fuck your dead body!" the man said already losing it but then saw the Gardevoir in the kid's chest, "I haven't forgotten about you, you little bitch. I'll fuck you so bad until your dead and then-Agghhh!"
Azami had had enough of this man's ranting and was squeezing harder to break every single bone in the man's body.
"Stop Azami, he's not worth it." He said to Azami and she looked back at him surprised that Ash would stop her from killing the man even after he threaten to rape him and his mom and the baby.
"Death is the easy way out for him. He has to pay for his crimes and with him alive the officers can get out of him where the Rocket base is," Ash said to Azami.
Azami begrudgingly lessened her grip and the man regained his breath but as he was about to scream again at Ash.
"Paralyze him with Glare. I'm tired of his screaming," Ash ordered Azami and she happily obliged.
"You can't do this to me you fuck-" the man's ranting was stopped when Azami's face was near his and she began Glaring at him with such ferocity that it paralyzed his whole body.
"Dam it," the man said before his body was completely paralyzed from head to toe by Azami's Glare attack.
"Good work Azami. Now we wait for Professor Oak and mom to come," he told his faithful friend. Yuki was still buried in his chest, but Ash could tell she was getting sleepy and wouldn't be long before sleep beat her.
(A/N: A few minutes later)
A few minutes had passed but then Ash saw Charizard flying towards him with Professor Oak and his mom on his back.
Ash was relived that they had come, because truth be told he and Azami were getting sleepy too but were doing everything to stay awake. He was also mentally preparing himself for the scolding he was to get from his mother.
Once Charizard landed Delia immediately bolted of to her son to make sure he was okay. Oak began examining the situation around him and the Pokémon laid around the area. Soon after, Officer Jenny and a few police officers from Rustboro City appeared on the scene.
"Ashy are you okay? What happened" Who is that?" Delia fired question after question at him.
Ash responded as best he could to all her questions. After he did the scolding began.
"Ashton Ketchum how many times have I told you to get help when you get in a dangerous situation?!" Delia scolded her son.
Ash then began explaining everything to him the moment he saw Gardevoir to this moment, even about the man in Azami's grip.
It took all the officers and even Charizard to stop his mom from killing the man after he told him what the man said.
After Ash was done telling his mom everything, Professor Oak and Rustboro City Gym Leader Linda Shiratori approached him.
"Ash this is Linda Shiratori, the Gym Leader of Rustboro City," Oak said while motioning to Linda.
"Hello there young man," Linda said while stretching her arm to shake his.
"A pleasure to meet you Ms. Linda" Ash said respectfully to her while shaking her hand.
"My My what a respectful young boy," Linda said to Oak.
"That he is Linda" Oak said.
"Sorry if I'm a little late. I'm not as young as I used to be," the world-famous Derrick Stone said, appearing out of nowhere, with his monstrous Metagross alongside him.
Ash was awe struck at the sight of the massive Metagross and at the world-famous Derrick Stone.
"and who might this be Samuel?" Derrick asked Professor Oak while looking at Ash.
"My name is Ash Ketchum Mr. Stone" Ash responded instead of Oak.
"Oh, please call me Derrick. Mr. Stone makes me feel old," Derrick said with a smile on his face.
Ash was shocked that Derrick Stone wanted him to call him by his first name, but he didn't even fathom on calling him that. Ash had to much respect for him to go by first name status.
"Let me go! I'm going to kill that bastard!" Delia screamed as she was trying to get to the paralyzed man.
"mam please calm down!" the officers that were holding back were telling her.
Charizard was also struggling holding her. Who knew this young woman was so strong?
A sweat drop appeared behind Ash, Yuki, Oak, Linda, and Derrick at seeing at least 6 officers and a Charizard trying to hold back a very pissed off mother from killing a man.
"she is sure strong" Derrick said to Oak.
"that she is" Oak said
Linda, and Ash nodded. Yuki was shocked that the woman was so strong.
"Hello there young man. My name is Jenny and I'm the head chief of the Rustboro police department" Officer Jenny told Ash.
Ash nodded at her in acknowledgement.
"do you mind if I ask you some questions?" Officer Jenny.
"Yes, but can we go back to Rustboro City? It is getting too cold here and I need to take Yuki to the Pokémon center." Ash told Jenny.
"Yuki?" Jenny said but Oak, Linda, and Derrick were also wondering who Yuki was.
"This is Yuki," Ash said while pointing at the Gradevoir that was on his arms and buried deep in Ash's chest.
Oak, Linda, Jenny, and Derrick were surprised at the Gardevoir in Ash's arms because they hadn't caught sight of her because she was hidden on his coat.
Yuki was a little scared that everyone was looking at her, so she covered herself more with her daddy's coat and hid her face even more on her daddy's chest so that she would be out of the strange people's sight.
"Oh my, what is a Gardevoir doing here?" Linda said at seeing the Gardevoir trying to hide in Ash himself.
"I'll explain everything I know once we get to the Pokémon center." Ash said to everyone while patting Yuki's head.
"Okay then, lets go back to the Pokémon center," Jenny said and then she screamed to her men, "men gather the other Pokémon's body and let's take them back to Joy."
"We're currently busy chief!" the men yelled at her while being dragged by Delia's moving body. Charizard was also being moved a little bit by Delia's immense mom strength.
"Arceus, how strong is that women?" Jenny asked in disbelief at seeing a single woman slowly moving 6 officers and a Charizard with her.
Everyone simply gave out a small laugh at that.
"Don't worry Jenny I got the Pokémon," Derrick said before looking at his Metagross, "Metagross use your Psychic to pick up all the Pokémon around us."
Metagross nodded and its eyes began to glow a light blue and soon after the bodies of Rattata, Houndour, Poochyena, Sableye, the Mightyenas, the Cacturne, Golbat, and even the three Haunters began to rise up with Metagross's Psychic energy and then were floating around the small group.
Ash was amazed that Metagross was able to levitate the dark and ghost Pokémon since they were the direct type opposite of Metagross but he figured Metagross had many years of experience under his belt and that is what helped him do that.
In that moment Ash hoped that one day he would have a Metagross when he began his journey.
"Okay then, Ash would you please call Azami back please? I'll calm your mom down." Oak told Ash as he went to calm Delia down.
Ash gave out a small whistle and Azami began to come back to him, with the man being dragged by her tail.
Delia tried to follow Azami but she was still being held by the men and Charizard. Then Oak came and began calming her down.
Azami had arrived close to the group and just throwed the man in front of the adults and then she stood next to Ash after he petted her head.
Oak was able to calm down Delia and soon both of them, with Charizard and the officers behind them, returned back to where everyone else was.
Once everyone was there, they looked at the paralyzed man and soon all their faces grew serious at seeing the big red R on the man's chest.
"Team Rocket," they all thought.
"Metagross teleport us to Rustboro Pokémon center," Derrick said seriously to Metagross.
Metagross nodded and simply closed its eyes and, without Ash knowing it, simply appeared Infront of the Rustboro City Pokémon Center.
Ash, Azami, and Yuki were surprised that they suddenly appeared in front of the Pokémon center but decided not to question it. They were just relived to be out of the woods, none more than Yuki.
"Men take this man to the station and throw him into one of the cells, I'll be back in a few minutes. I want that man guarded until I return. Also call for a Gardevoir from the League. I'll need one of them to interrogate the man." Jenny said to the rest of the officers there.
"Yes Mam!" they all saluted and left with the man in tow.
"Alright let's go in," Oak said to everyone.
As they all went in, they saw Ash and Azami were helping Gardevoir move inside since her legs were trembling and she looked wobbly almost as if she didn't know her own body. They found that weird.
Once they got inside Ash, Azami, and Yuki gave out a pleasant sigh at the warm air hitting their face and body. The heat was warming up their bodies gently and was getting rid of the cold they felt.
"Hello. Welcome to the Pokémon Cen- Oh my what happened?" Nurse Joy sad with her hand in her mouth at the end when she saw the state the Pokémon were in.
"I'll explain everything later Joy, please look after the Pokémon here." Jenny told the Nurse.
Joy nodded before saying, "Chansey bring two stretchers for the Pokémon."
Chansey nodded and went to do what was told.
Joy then stepped out of the front desk and began looking at the floating Pokémon around them, to see what was wrong.
Not even a few minutes later two Chanseys appeared with stretchers for the Pokémon.
"Good work Chanseys," she said and then looked at Metagross, "could you please lay them on the stretchers Metagross?"
Metagross nodded and put the Pokémon on the stretchers.
"Thank you. Now Chanseys take them to the operating room and begin working on them I'll be there in a little bit." Joy told the Chanseys and soon after both headed off with the injured Pokémon.
"Okay then, let me have her so I can help her" Joy told Ash motioning to Gardevoir.
Ash nodded and as he and Azami where leaning in to give Yuki to Joy, Yuki hugged Ash and didn't let go of him.
"Yuki?" Ash asked her in surprise.
"It seems she doesn't want to go with Joy," Linda said.
"It seems so," Oak concluded with Derrick and Delia nodding.
"Why thou?" Jenny said.
"I think we will get our answers when Ash tells us what happened in the woods. I highly doubt we are going to like his answer thou," Derrick said. All of them nodded.
"Yuki, you don't want to go with Nurse Joy?" Ash told her and got his answer at her shake of head.
"Why? Do you think I will leave you here if you go in there?" Ash asked her and his answer was her tearful nod.
"Yes, Daddy leave Yuki here. Yuki don't want that" Yuki said in her mind.
"Sigh" he sighed, "Yuki I won't leave you here. I brought you here so that the nice lady could heal you from your injuries." Ash said while motioning to Nurse Joy who simply gave a warm smile at Yuki.
"I promise that once she is done, I'll come back for you?" Ash told Yuki but she wouldn't listen to him and continued hugging him and not letting go.
Ash simply gave a sad smile and patted her head, "I'm sorry nurse Joy" he said to Joy.
"It's fine young man but I still need to look over her to make sure she is okay" Joy said with a smile to him.
"What can we do thou? It doesn't seem she is letting go off me anytime soon," Ash said while looking at Yuki.
"I'll help you out with that Ash," Derrick suddenly spoke up.
"How Mr. Stone?" Ash told him.
"I told you, just call me Derrick and I'll help you by having Metagross place her in a deep sleep with Hypnosis." Derrick told Ash.
"Please do." Ash told him but then looked at Yuki and told her, "I promise I'll be back for you Yuki."
"Go Metagross" Derrick told his Pokémon.
Metagross began floating to Ash and Yuki and once it was Infront of Yuki he began looking at her intently and then she began to sleep, after a few seconds passed she went limp in Ash's arms.
Yuki was confused at what her daddy said to the strange old man but then got a little scared when the iron creature was in front of her staring at her intently. She didn't understand but then she began to get sleepier and couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep in her daddy's arms.
"Goodnight Yuki. Sweet dreams" he said before giving her a small kiss on her forehead.
All the adults and the Pokémon present gave a small smile at the kindness Ash showed towards the Gardevoir.
"Please take care of her Nurse Joy," Ash told the nurse as he began giving her Yuki's sleep form.
"I promise I will young man. Its my job after all" she told Ash him as she picked up Yuki bridal style.
Once she left the adults approached Ash.
"Let's go back to the hotel room, so we can talk more privately" Oak suggested to whom everyone nodded.
"Alright," Oak said before looking at Charizard, "I'm going to be returning you Charizard, thank you for your hard work and everything you did."
"Thank you for taking care of my Baby and Azami Charizard" Delia said with a warm smile to Charizard.
Charizard simply puffed out his chest in pride before being turned into energy and into his Pokeball.
"You too Azami, thank you for taking care of Ashy" Delia told Azami, who just like Charizard, puffed out her chest in pride.
"Okay then let's go. Metagross if you would" Derrick said and then told Metagross.
Just like last time in the blink of an eye they were no longer in the Pokémon center but in the hotel room where they were staying.
"Thank you Metagross, you can go back to the colony now. I'll be okay on my own." Derrick told Metagross.
Metagross nodded and disappeared again.
"Alright Ash tell us everything" Oak said in a serious manner. Everyone had gotten serious and Jenny had brought out a pen and a small notebook to write everything down.
"Well it all started…" Ash explained everything that happened from the moment he saw the strange light in the Petalburg woods to right now.
There were a mired of expressions on the Adults faces varying from anger, frustrations, sadness, relief, and happiness.
The most important thing they got out of all of this was how much of a kind and brave kid Ash Ketchum was.
Delia didn't know if she should be mad or proud of her son. There was only one thing running in her mind, "he sure is like him."
"First of all, what you did Ash was incredibly dangerous but really brave as well," Oak said to Ash.
"Next time thou you need to be more careful because if Charizard wasn't there or Azami wasn't as trained as she was, you would have been in trouble" Oak continued.
"Next time young man no matter how dangerous the situation is you need to find any help first and if that is not possible hide or run. Am I understood?" Oak said to Ash.
"Yes, Professor Oak" Ash said as he and Azami bowed their heads to him.
"Very well. It is already late," Oak said before looking at Delia, "you and Ash, and Azami need to go the bed and rest already. It has been a long Night."
"Of course, Professor. What about you?" Delia asked Oak.
"Me, Jenny, Linda, and Derrick still have to talk about this. Both of you don't need to concern yourself with this. Leave it to us, I'll go to bed eventually." Oak told Delia and Ash.
"Very well," Delia said before looking at Ash and Azami, "come on you two let's go to bed but first take a shower, the both of you, to warm yourselves up."
Ash and Azami nodded before Ash suddenly spoke, "Can I ask you something Officer Jenny?"
"Hmm, sure young man. What is it?" Jenny told him.
"What will happen to Yuki?" Ash asked.
All the adults got a sad look at the mention of the Gardevoir after everything Ash told them.
"Sigh," Jenny sighed, "in the morning one of the Official League Gardevoirs will come so that she could speak with Yuki to get her side of everything. After that she will probably be sent to the Safari Zone on Route 121."
"I see. Can I at least say goodbye to her in the morning?" Ash said sadly to Jenny.
"Goodbye?" Jenny asked questioningly.
"Tomorrow is our last day here. Tomorrow afternoon we will be going back to Kanto," Oak answered Jenny.
"Oh, I see. Very well you can say goodbye to her tomorrow." Jenny told Ash.
"Thank you, Officer." Ash thanked Jenny.
"Come on you two let's shower and go to bed. This doesn't concern us anymore." Delia said while motioning to Ash and Azami to follow her. They followed soon after, leaving the rest of the adults behind.
"Let's go," Derrick said to everyone.
They all nodded and headed to the Police Station to hear a man sing like a Pidgey.
After a quick shower Ash was already tucked in his bed and Azami was coiled up next to his bed.
Delia then came in with a towel on her head and a simple shirt and short, evidence of her being showered.
"Honey time to go to bed" Delia told Ash as she got close to his bed.
"Yes mom" and a Hiss were her answers.
Once Delia got by his bedside, she kissed him on his forehead and said, "your very brave and kind Ashy but don't worry me like that again. Okay?"
"I'll try my best mom," Ash told her reassuringly.
"That's my boy. Now go to sleep Okay?" Delia told Ash and he sleepily nodded back to her, the tiredness and comfy cold were getting to him already. Azami was already fast asleep.
"Goodnight Ashy and remember Mommy will always love you," Delia said after giving her son his goodnight kiss on his forehead.
Ash eyelids then suddenly closed, and he was asleep. Delia looked at the sleeping form of her only son with so much motherly love in her gaze.
She then tucked him a bit more and then walked off to rest herself.
None of them or even the rest of the residents of RustBoro City heard the screams of a man that were coming from the Police Station.
(A/N: Following morning)
Ash was so deeply asleep; he didn't even wake up early like he always does but it was not to last.
"young master Ashton please wake up" a soft voice told him in his mind.
"What?" Ash groggily said.
"Please wake up young master Ashton. You are needed at the healing building," the owner of the voice said.
"Healing building?" Ash said still half asleep.
"Yes. After the child woke up, she began flailing around and began screaming for you." The voice said.
"Child…Healing Building…Woke up…. Yuki!" Ash woke up at the realization that it was Yuki who the voice was speaking about.
"Yes, it seems she wants you there. She wouldn't calm down no matter how hard the healers and Nurse tried to calm her down. So, I was sent here to get you since the masters and ladies believed that the child wanted you to be there since she was so calm with you yesterday," the voice told him.
"How do you know about yesterday?" Ash told to the Gardevoir that was in his in room after figuring out it was her voice in his mind.
Ash always found fascinating the Telepathy of Psychics. All Psychics could use telepathy to a certain degree to speak with their trainers but a trained one could speak fluently to a human just like the Gardevoir was speaking to him. For a moment he wondered if Professor Oak's Alakazam could use Telepathy like that too. He probably could but decided against talking to Ash like that. Now was not the time for that and Ash banished all those thoughts from his mind.
"Everything will be explained to you at the Healing Building" Gardevoir told him.
"Okay just let me wash my face and get dressed really quick," Ash told the Gardevoir and at her nod he sped of to change himself and wash his face.
With all the ruckus going on it woke Azami. She groggily looked around for Ash, but her eyes landed on the sole Gardevoir in the room.
"Greetings poison user. Don't worry about your master he just went to get dressed because he is needed at the Healing building this moment." Gardevoir told Azami.
Azami looked suspiciously at the Gardevoir but then Gardevoir's eyes glowed with Psychic energy and then everything that Gardevoir knew went to Azami's head. She quickly nodded at her and patiently waited for her friend along Gardevoir.
"Sorry I took a while but I'm back" Ash said once he got back from dressing and washing his face. He wore a simple shirt and pants and his coat since it was still a cool morning. His hair was neatly tied back and held by his ponytail.
"Very well let's go" and just like with Metagross they suddenly appeared inside the Pokémon Center.
All the adults were there, and they all looked at Ash once he got there.
"Ash thank Arceus you've arrived," Oak said to him.
"What's going on Professor?" Ash asked the man.
"After you left, I treated Gardevoir to the best of my abilities and thankfully she made a full recovery during the night?" Nurse Joy answered instead of Oak.
"So, then what seems to be the problem?" Ash asked again.
"Well you see Ash when I got here with Gardevoir to talk to her she suddenly started crying and trembling in fear and even started flailing around for us not to reach her," Jenny told him.
"What?" Ash asked worrying instantly.
"Its true no matter how hard I or even Chansey tried to get close to her she wouldn't let us get close. Right now, she is in a fetal position in a corner of the room where she slept last night." Nurse Joy told him sadly.
"Really? But what do I have to do with this?" Ash asked with worry evident on his tone.
"Explain it to him Gardevoir please," Jenny aske Gardevoir.
"Yes officer," she then looked at Ash and began explaining it to him, "When we got there the child was crying in fear of us. Then I began speaking to her to see what was wrong and all she was repeatedly saying was "Daddy! Yuki want's Daddy!" she repeatedly said. After I told the officer and the masters and ladies of what the child said they told me who had named her Yuki…that was you young master Ashton." Gardevoir said to the shocked Ash.
"Wha-What?" Ash stuttered surprised.
"It seems that the Gardevoir sees you as her father Ash." Oak told him.
"Bu-but why me?" Ash asked confused him.
"Ash what we are about to tell you is confidential so keep it with yourself okay?" Linda told him.
Ash nodded understanding.
"After our talk with the Rocket man he confessed something very sad about that poor Gardevoir," Derrick said.
"What did he say?" Ash asked him with Azami paying close attention to him.
"It seems that Yuki was forced to evolve too prematurely?" Oak said.
"What do you mean professor?" Ash asked.
"Ash, that Gardevoir is just a Gardevoir in Physical form but mentally she is still a baby Ralts." Derrick said seriously to Ash.
"What!" Ash asked surprised but Azami seemed to already know that and simply sighed in sadness.
"Exactly what you hear. A Team Rocket executive and a few grunts had captured her when she was just barely born after killing her birth parents." Jenny said in a scowl.
"What! That's horrible!" Ash said in anger at knowing what the Rockets had done. His and Azami's anger toward Team Rocket had increased.
"We agree with you" Linda said.
"Wait but how is it possible for her to be in her final form. That's just impossible to do, you just can make a baby Pokémon evolve into her final form," Ash said in disbelief.
"Steven is currently investigating that in the Rocket base in the PetalBurg woods," Derrick said.
"Champion Steven is here?" Ash asked surprised knowing the Hoenn Champion was close by.
"Yeah, he was told of what happened last night and is currently investigating the base with the ACE trainers. Charles was also informed, and he is currently working to figure out how that is possible," Oak told Ash.
"Will they take Yuki away?" Ash asked with worry because he thinks they would take her away to see why she is fully evolved when she shouldn't.
"Don't worry Ash, all we did was take a blood sample from her last night and send one too Charles and the Kalos league," Jenny told him.
Ash was relieved that they wouldn't take Yuki away.
"Can I see her?" Ash asked Nurse Joy.
"Of Course, Ash. Follow me," Nurse joy said to him.
"I'll be back in a little bit" Ash told all the adults.
They all nodded at him and let him go, they had to talk about something anyway.
As Ash was walking with Joy, Azami was following him but was stopped by Ash himself.
"Let me do this alone Azami," Ash told his friend.
Azami was going to protest at first but at the look Ash gave her, she nodded and decided to let him be.
"Thank you Azami" Ash said before petting her head.
Afterwards Ash and Nurse Joy began walking to the room Yuki was in. The walk was in a comfortable silence.
Soon they were in front of the door of the room where Yuki was.
"I'll be waiting outside here," Nurse Joy told Ash who nodded at her.
Afterwards Ash opened the door and stepped inside the room.
The room was a mess with all the pillows and sheets thrown around.
Ash then saw a scene that broke his heart in Yuki curled into a small ball in the corner of the room while crying her eyes out and trembling.
"Yuki," Ash said gently to her.
Yuki's head immediately shot up at her Daddy's voice and when she saw him, she was so happy because he hadn't left her alone. She then crawled to him to hug him.
Ash didn't let her crawl much because he got closer to her and gave her a big hug with her returning it.
Yuki was so happy to be in her daddy's arms again but then she felt small tears falling on her head. When she turned up, she saw that it was her daddy who was crying while hugging her even tighter.
"You've been thru so much Yuki," Ash said as tears were falling from his eyes, "I'm sorry for everything that happened to you."
Yuki hugged her daddy with all the force she could muster up, but she also put all her love into that hug because she didn't want to see her daddy cry. She would hug him until he was all better.
Ash was touched at that and hugged her more.
"She truly views me as her daddy," He thought to himself at seeing Yuki hug him so tightly.
After Ash had learned of why Yuki was like this, he wasn't surprised she viewed him as a father. Her real parents were killed mere minutes after she was born then she was captured and experimented on to force her to evolve. Then there was that man that tried to rape her.
"She must have been so scared, sad, and confused" Ash thought to himself again.
Then here he came saving her and showing her kindness and love and promising her that he would protect her. It was no wonder she would look at him as her father.
"Yuki do you view me as your Daddy?" Ash asked, still with tears in his eyes, the Gardevoir hugging him.
Yuki looked at her daddy and simply smiled at him and nodded cutely, "yes, you Yuki's daddy. Yuki loves daddy."
Ash didn't know what she might be saying but he figured she said yes in her mind since she was still too young to communicate with him thru telepathy. He also guessed she said yes if her nod was anything to go by.
"Oh Yuki," Ash said before giving another hug to Yuki and as tears fell from his eyes for Yuki.
Yuki loved her daddy hugging her, but she didn't want him to cry so she hugged him more tightly. She poured all her love into that hug, and being from the Gardevoir line, she emanated that love to Ash.
Ash then laid his head next to her and was just there embracing the poor Gardevoir that has been thru so much. Gardevoir simply hugged him back.
Ash felt a warmness fill his heart at feeling Gardevoir's love emotion thru her hug. Then Ash felt something, he didn't know what it was, but it felt like a connection to the Gardevoir in his arms.
Ash looked around to see what that feeling was, but he saw nothing, but he heard something, two whispers, one clearly male on the other female. Ash simply smiled at thin air and said, "I will."
All he heard was: "Take care of her," "Thank you for saving her."
Yuki looked curiously at her daddy staring onto thin air.
Ash saw Yuki looking at him from the corner of his eyes curiously but then looked at her.
"Its nothing Yuki." Ash said as he wiped the tears of his face.
Yuki was confused but she didn't care, her daddy was here holding her and that was all she needed.
"Yuki," Ash called to her and she looked at him, "daddy will always protect and love you very much."
Yuki was crying tears of joy now at what her daddy was telling her, but his following words made her so happy and cemented her love for him.
"You will always be my little snow princess. My dear little cute Yuki" Ash told her before giving her a kiss on her forehead just like his mother always used to do for him.
Yuki immediately tackled him to the ground in another hug while crying tears of joy.
Ash was surprised at first but began petting her head after picking himself up and putting Gardevoir on his lap and rocking her back and forth like a baby. Her head was buried on his neck. Ash found it odd that he was already a dad at 8 years old and rocking a full grown Gardevoir, in body only, in his lap like a mother would do to her baby.
(A/N: The readers Perspective)
Inside the room in the Pokémon center you can see a young boy holding a Gardevoir in his arms and sitting on his lap.
The young boy was rocking the Gardevoir like a baby with her crying in his arms.
What the Pokémon and Boy didn't notice around them were two figures, a Gallade and a Gardevoir, hugging the pair from both sides.
The Gardevoir gave a kiss to the Gardevoir's head and the Gallade simply patted her head.
Then they started shining and just like they came the were gone while still hugging the pair.
(A/N: Back to normal view)
After a while Joy had peeked her head in the room to see how Ash was doing with the Gardevoir. What she saw touched her heart and almost cried at the scene she saw. She decided she needed to show this to the rest of the people waiting for Ash.
Ash and Yuki were in their own world in their embrace and paid no attention to anything around them. Not even the adults that were watching that beautiful scene from the door.
After a few more minutes passed Oak decided that they needed to speak to Ash.
"I see she managed to calm down. Good Job Ash" Oak said getting the young Boy and Gardevoir's attention.
"Oh professor, everyone, when did you get here?" Ash told them with Yuki getting shy around them.
"A few minutes ago. We didn't want to interrupt the moment and left you be with Yuki," Delia told him.
"Thank you for that and sorry about that we were just spaced out" Ash said sheepishly.
"Don't worry about it Ash. Now that Yuki has calmed down, we will need to talk to her thou," Jenny told him.
"Very well," he said before looking at Yuki, "Yuki this are some nice people I know and that one over there is my mom," Ash said while motioning to everyone so that Yuki could see them. They all waved back kindly to her even the League Gardevoir. Azami waved with her tail thou.
Yuki waved back shyly at them. She didn't like all these people staring at her, so she tried to hide behind her daddy.
"It's okay Yuki these are nice people and all they want to do is talk to you," Ash said to Yuki who was currently hiding behind him, "I'll be stepping out so that they can talk to you freely."
As Ash said that and as he began to get ready to leave Yuki grabbed onto his arm and not letting go.
"Yuki?" Ash asked confused.
"No! Daddy no leave! Daddy stay with Yuki!" Yuki said in her mind with the only one hearing her being Azami and the Gardevoir.
"Gardevoir what's wrong with her," Jenny asked the League Gardevoir.
"She doesn't want young master Ashton to leave her" she said simply.
"Its because-" Ash was about to explain but was cut off by Linda.
"She views you as her father, right?" she concluded.
"How did you know?" Ash asked surprised that they would know this.
"It was the first thing Gardevoir told us she said when she began her panic attack. After you being with her last night and saving her the dots were easy to connect." Oak said to him.
"I can't believe I'm a grandmother at such a young age" Delia said with fake sadness.
"Hehe, what does that say about me then? I'm already a dad at 8 years old," Ash said and soon everyone began to laugh.
"Well okay then you can stay here to give her support, but we still need to talk to her and Gardevoir will do that for us," Jenny told him as Gardevoir moved forward.
"Alright," Ash said before sitting down again, "Yuki this nice Gardevoir is going to ask you a couple of questions. Can you please answer her questions? And don't worry I'll be here along you all the time."
Yuki hesitantly nodded and then began the questioning between the League Gardevoir and Yuki, telepathically of course.
After a few minutes passed the questioning was over and Gardevoir began explaining what Yuki had said to Jenny, Oak, Derrick, and Linda. Delia and Ash didn't need to know more than they should.
Ash, Delia, and Azami were just there with Yuki introducing themselves to her as Ash's mother and best friend.
After a few more minutes passed Gardevoir had finished telling everything to Oak, Jenny, Derrick, and Linda. They all nodded to each other and to the Gardevoir, soon after she teleported back to the Hoenn League HQ, before Jenny and Linda stepped forward to talk to Ash.
"We are done here. We will be leaving to continue this investigation, thank you for your cooperation," Jenny told then saluted Ash and Yuki.
"I'm sorry I let this happen. It is my job to take care of Rustboro City and I let this happen to poor Yuki, but I promise you that I will talk to Norman and we will never let this happen again." Linda said sad at first but then with determination in her voice.
"Thank you, Yuki and I will appreciate it very much," Ash told the women after extending his arm to shake their arms.
They shook his arm and said their goodbyes to everyone and left.
"I think it's time for me to go too," Derrick said to everyone left.
"I need to inform my son of this after all" he continued.
Ash wanted to ask if the Champion would come to RustBoro City but decided against it. He figured Champion Steven will be busy all day dealing with the whole Rocket situation. A shame but understandable.
"Oh, and Ash," Derick got his attention, "take care of that Gardevoir and be the father she never had." He then walked out the room after giving Oak one last handshake and saying his goodbye to Delia.
"Wait what do you-" Ash was about to tell Derrick but he had left already.
"Ash what Derrick means is that Yuki is now yours," Oak said with a smile on his face.
"But I'm still not a trainer," Ash said confused at Oak.
"So? You will be soon enough and besides you already have Azami with you, don't you? She already listens to you as if you were already a trainer" Oak told him.
"But won't the Hoenn League try and stop me from taking Yuki back with me to Kanto. Yuki is a native born of Hoenn after all. Won't it be considered poaching?" Ash asked in worry.
"You think to much Ashy" Delia told her son.
"Delia is right Ash. Don't worry about it Derrick will tell his son about Yuki's situation and I'm sure he will agree and besides you have me as a sponsor. Kanto won't think anything bad of you as long as I'm around," Oak told him.
"Sigh," he sighed in relief, "I'm glad Yuki and I won't be separated."
"Besides even if we tried, we wouldn't be able to, she might even find a way to travel back to Kanto just to find you if we left her here," Delia said jokingly.
"Delia is right Ash. You have become young Yuki's everything and you have to take responsibility for her." Oak told Ash seriously.
"I promise I'll take care of her," he said but was interrupted by a hiss, "we will take care of her." Azami nodded her head at Ash's correction.
"Tell her if she wants to come with us Ash" Oak told Ash.
"Right," Ash said before looking at Yuki, "Yuki would you come back with us to my… our new home in the Kanto Region?"
Yuki didn't care where she lived as long as her daddy was there with her, so she nodded at him.
"Awesome! Your going to love Pallet Town and I know that Kirlia and Happiny will love you the moment they see you" Ash said happily.
Yuki simply smiled at feeling her daddy's happiness.
"Very well then let's go back to the Hotel Room and get ready to pack our stuff. I need to finish something quickly but once I'm done, we will leave back to Pallet Town" Oak told Delia, Ash, Azami, and Yuki.
"We have to ask Nurse Joy first if we can take Yuki back to the Hotel Room," Ash said.
"Oh, you can, Yuki has made a full recovery, but it will be a while until she understands her body fully. She will need allot of help and patience and absolutely no battling until she is at least a Kirlia mentally," Nurse Joy said out of nowhere scaring everyone in the room.
"Nurse Joy when did you get here! Wait when did you leave!" Ash asked scared and surprised.
"Jeez Joy you almost gave this old man a heart attack" Oak said as he was stroking his chest.
Delia, Azami, and Yuki were as white as a mega evolved Shiny Gengar.
"Hehe sorry about that. When I brought everyone else back, I decided to leave to check on the other Pokémon and once everyone had left I slipped back in but all of you didn't notice me because you were so engrossed in your conversation. Sorry about scaring you like that" Nurse Joy said sheepishly while she was rubbing the back of her head.
"Don't worry about it Joy. So, we can take Yuki back to Kanto and there won't be any problems with her health?" Oak asked just to be sure.
"Yup. She made a full recovery and is good to go" Nurse Joy said cheerfully.
"Thank you for taking care of Yuki Nurse Joy" Ash said as he and Azami gave a bow to her for her hard work.
"Its no problem Ash. It is my job after all, I like helping Pokémon" Joy said to the bowing Ash and Azami.
After that was done Delia, Ash, Azami, and Yuki, with her being carried by Azami, went back to the hotel while Oak went to the PetalBurg woods.
As they were going Ash saw many ACE Trainers guarding the entrance to the PetalBurg woods and not leting anyone in except for league officials or professor Oak or Derrick Stone. For a moment Ash though if the Indigo Champion Lance was there since, from what he heard, Lance and Steven were good friends. He just shrugged at it and continued to the Hotel.
Once they got there, they spent the rest of the cold day just being warm in the hotel room and Ash and Delia talking to Yuki and telling her how much fun she was going to have once they returned to Pallet Town. They had a warm dinner that Delia cooked and just enjoyed the time they had with each other.
After a few hours passed Delia told Ash that it was time to pack up since professor Oak was almost back.
For the next hour Ash and Delia began packing all their stuff, and Oak's, with Azami helping where she could and Yuki sitting and watching Ash.
Once they were finished Oak had returned but he had a Package with him.
"Ah I see you all have packed up. Oh, you also packed my stuff, thank you for that" Oak told everyone in the hotel room once he saw they were all ready to go.
"It's no Problem Professor Oak" Delia told him.
"Professor what's that package your carrying?" Ash questioned Oak.
"Oh right, this is for you Ash" Oak said while handing the package to Ash.
"What is it?" Ask asked again as he was examining the package.
"Why don't you open it and find out?" Oak told Ash.
Ash then opened the package and inside it was a PokeNav and a letter.
"Is this a PokeNav?" Ash asked in wonder at seeing the device.
"That's right." Oak said.
"Who gave it to me?" Ash asked again.
"Read the letter and find out" Oak said.
Ash the unfolded the letter and began reading it with Azami and Yuki reading alongside him.
While he was doing that Delia had offered Oak some warm food and coffee and he happily obliged. They then walked to the small kitchen for Oak to eat before they leave.
Ash was amazed by what the letter said.
The letter said the following: Thank you for your hard work kid. You were very brave at taking on that Rocket grunt. Many kids of your age would have simply run away, which is understandable, but you stayed there with no fear, if what the reports given to me are believed to be, and took on that man. You stayed calm and did not panic. You were able to command the good professor's mighty Charizard and defeated all those other Pokémon. About the other Rocket Pokémon, right now they are in rehabilitation but I'm afraid they won't be able to be completely healed, at least mentally, they are too broken. The only one that can be helped is the Golbat. Anyway, you did a great job and you were able to save a Gardevoir from being raped and even discover that there was a Rocket Base here in Hoenn after you captured him. If you hadn't captured him, we would have never known that there was Rocket base in the PetalBurg woods so thank you for that. Also keep training that Azami, I believe that is her name from what my dad told me, of yours. She'll be one hell of a Pokémon once you begin your journey. Also take care of that Gardevoir you found. My dad told me everything that happened to her and right now all she needs is your love and protection so that she can heal. Don't worry about taking her back to Kanto I already gave my authorization and spoke to Lance about it an he agreed as well. I promise I will kick out all the Rockets from my region and that this will never happen to no other Pokémon as long as I'm Champion. I hope you liked the PokeNav I sent you since you deserve it for your hard work but just don't show it to anyone until you begin your Journey. The PokeNavs haven't been released to the public yet, it will take at least two more years for they to be sold to the public. So, always keep it with you, only league officials and important people have a PokeNav. Anyway, like I said great work kid and I expect to hear many great things coming from you and who knows we might even get to battle one another one of these days. Good luck on your journey Ash.
Sincerely Steven Stone.
PS: Once you start your Journey go to Mt. Moon and search for a cave that has an X carving on the entrance and if someone tries to stop you show them the stone chain that is hidden in the package. You'll find something very interesting there and it'll help you on your journey.
Ash after reading the leader searched deep in the package and found that stone chain that Steven talked about. Without making any noise he quietly put the stone chain in his pocket. He looked at Azami and Yuki and put his finger between his lips to tell them not to say anything. They both nodded at him.
After that Ash read the letter one last time. Ash felt pride swelling within him at Champion Steven's words and was happy that he was given a PokeNav. He promised to himself that he would take care of it and would never let anything bad happen to it. The PokeNav had turned into one of his prized possessions at that moment. He then folded the letter and put it in his bag, he would keep the letter too.
"So, what was the package honey?" Delia asked her son.
Once Ash finished putting the letter and stone chain away in his bag, he went over to tell his mom and professor Oak everything that was in the letter, except for the last part. Azami had brought Yuki on her back to Ash.
After Ash's telling was done and after a few more hours passed Oak spoke up.
"Okay I think it's time to go back," he said before looking at his watch, "I think our cruise has arrived in Slateport City and we need to get on it so it can take us back to Vermillion City."
At that Delia and Ash got their bags with them. Azami was carring another bag in her mouth and another in her tail with Yuki still on her back. Oak had gotten his bag too and once they put their coats on, they headed out.
After they said they're thanks to the receptionist they headed out to see Derrick Stone with his Metagross waiting for them outside.
"So, your leaving so soon Samuel?" Derrick told Oak.
"Yeah my business here is done. I need to get back to my lab to continue my work and care for the Pokémon. Also, I think Alakazam is getting a little irked with Dragonite and I need to stop that before it gets out of hand" Oak told Derrick.
"Don't worry about it Samuel just make sure to keep in touch, okay?" Derick told him as he stretched his hand out to Oak.
"I will. Thanks for your hospitality my old friend" Oak said as he shook Derick's hand.
"It was also a pleasure to meet all of you" Derrick told Ash, Delia, Azami, and Yuki.
"The pleasure was ours Mr. Stone" Delia and Ash said to Derrick with Azami hissing and Yuki hiding behind Azami's head.
Derrick nodded and then motioned for Metagross to do what he does before walking off to Devon Co.
Metagross looked at the small Pallet Group and simply looked at them before appearing at the Port of Slateport city. Metagross nodded at them before teleporting back to Rustboro City.
"Alright there is our cruise," Oak said motioning to the giant ship, the SS Alicia.
They all then began walking towards it to get in.
Yuki was amazed at how big the ship was and even got a little scared but a comforting hand from her daddy calmed her down.
Once they got in and showed their tickets they went to their rooms. Oak had one to himself while Ash and Delia where sharing another together with Azami and now Yuki. They didn't mind since the rooms were enormous and extremely fancy so much that a whole family could live in one of those rooms. Being Professor Oak had its perks after all. After a little while of waiting the ship blared its massive horn and began sailing off back to Vermillion City in Kanto.
Once they finished putting their stuff in their room the small group went to enjoy the cruise ship. They ate, played, watched the cruise ship's Pokémon tournament, enjoyed the swimming pool- since they already left Hoenn it wasn't cold anymore - and visited the cruise's local establishments. All in all, they had a great time and once night came, they all went back to their room ready to sleep the night away.
Ash on the other hand, after given permission by his mother, stepped onto to the deck of the ship with Azami with Yuki on her back and they simply stared into the starry night.
Ash simply smiled as he viewed the beautiful clear night from the cruise. Then he petted Azami's head and gave Yuki a kiss on her forehead that made her blush in embarrassment.
"We promise that we will always take care of you Yuki," Ash told Yuki with Azami hissing in agreement.
Yuki simply stared at her daddy.
"Until you're ready, I wont force you to battle and you will always be by my side like Azami once we begin our Journey," he told her.
Yuki simply gave him a smile and then laid her head on Azami and began drifting off until she fell asleep on Azami's back. Azami made sure she was positioned right so that Yuki wouldn't fall off her.
"I guess she is tuckered out, isn't she?" Ash told Azami as he looked at Yuki's sleeping form.
Azami nodded at him feeling the small snores of Yuki on her back.
"Azami since Yuki has become my "daughter" that makes you her aunt" Ash told Azami. She nodded happily at him because of her being an auntie.
"I think you like that. Azami we will always take care of her and never let anyone harm her and if she never wants to battle, we will respect that and keep protecting her. Understood?" Ash told Azami seriously to which she nodded with a serious face.
"Good girl," he said to her and then began looking at the night sky for a few minutes longer.
After a few minutes passed it began to get chilly and Ash yawned.
"Let's head back to bed Azami. I'm already tired and I bet your too" Ash said as he looked at Azami who was trying desperately to keep her eyes open.
"I thought so, lets go" he said and as they began to walk away Ash heard a caw and after turning around to see what it was, he saw nothing.
"Huh? Must have been my imagination" Ash said to himself. Azami stopped and began looking at him on why he stopped.
"Sorry about that, I thought I heard something" he said before walking back to their room.
Once they got to their room Azami gently placed Yuki on the bed, to not wake her up, and then coiled herself next to Ash's bedside.
Ash, after changing into his pajamas, got onto his bed quietly- to not wake his mother or Yuki up- and began covering himself up but then he felt something grab onto him and that something was Yuki who had grabbed his arm and was cuddled close to him. Ash didn't mind and let it be.
"Good night Azami, sweet dreams" he told Azami who gave one last hiss before falling asleep.
Ash then looked at Yuki one last time. He gave her a kiss on her forehead before saying to her, "Goodnight Yuki. My little snow Princess. Remembered that daddy will always love you." He said a variation of what his mom always told him.
Ash, just before closing his eyes, was able to see a flying blue bird thru the window on his room.
"I wonder what that was?" he said sleepily before sleep claimed him.
What none of them saw was the Legendary bird of Ice Articuno flying over SS Alicia before flying ahead of the ship after giving a gentle but majestic caw.
(A/N: Flashback end)
Ash and Delia gave a smile at seeing how far Yuki has come. When they first brought her here, she was a shy mess with not wanting to be with anyone except Ash or Azami. Thru the love and support of Ash, Delia, Kirlia, and Happiny, Yuki slowly got better.
She was beginning to learn how to walk in her body and was starting to get more comfortable around people if Ash was there. For the battling she had decided that she did not like to battle and was just content at cheering her daddy and Azami on. She tried to learn some Psychic or Fairy moves from Kirlia but she was still to young mentally and couldn't access those powers of her body, but she never gave up and kept trying.
The only thing that they couldn't cure her off was her clinginess to Ash.
All in all, Yuki had come a long way and Ash couldn't be prouder of his snow princess.
Then Ash's mind went to his starter Pokémon. He wondered which one he was going to get but didn't mind if Gary, Eren, or Mikasa got one before him. He knew there were only three starters and four graduates, so he decided to give the rest of the guys and girl a chance to choose first. He already had Azami and Yuki with him either way.
Ash then got happy because today Azami and Yuki will officially become his Pokémons once he captures them in a PokeBall each.
Ash already planned out his journey and nothing was going to stop him in completing his dream. He then looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to get his starter. He had promised he would walk to Professor Oak's lab with Eren and Mikasa.
"Alright I think its time for me to go meet up with Eren and Mikasa so we can go to Professor Oak's lab" Ash said to everyone.
"Alright, honey go ahead and go. Leave the plates to me" Delia told her son.
"Thank you, mom." Ash said but as he was walking away, he felt something grab him, but he already knew who that was.
"Where is daddy going?" Yuki told Ash.
Over the two years he has known Yuki, Ash had become an expert at reading her. She still couldn't talk telepathically to him since she was still to young, but she was learning from Kirlia and from Professor Oak's Alakazam when they could help her. He guessed what she might be saying.
"I'm going to Professor Oaks to get my starter and my Pokedex and some Pokeballs so we can begin our journey Yuki" Ash said to her as he petted her head.
After her daddy said that she got excited because they were starting their journey. She loved Pallet Town and everyone in it but, just like her daddy, wanted to explore all of Kanto. She let him go and smiled to him.
"Good girl, I'll be back in a little while" Ash told Yuki whom nodded in understanding.
"Okay then I'll be back" Ash said to all the females in the house before closing the door behind him.
Yuki stared at the door for a while before her attention was caught by her grand mommy and big sisters.
"Come on Yuki help us with the plates and let's get you ready so that when Ashy comes back your all ready to go with him" Delia told Yuki with a smile never leaving her face.
Yuki nodded and went to go help her Grand Mommy and big sisters. She couldn't wait to begin her journey around Kanto with the two people she loved the most in her daddy and auntie Azami.

A/N: Woo that was a large chapter. I think this will be my biggest chapter ever. Also, this chapter proves that this is my first time writing a fanfiction. You see I always wanted to write a Pokémon Fanfiction because I always imagined a different Ash with different Pokémon and journey and this chapter is a clear evidence of that. Many chapters will be as long as this one as long as I have many ideas to put in it. I know your going to love them. I know most of you after reading the chapter know what Pokémon Azami is, but I don't mind it, I will officially say it next chapter. Also, for Yuki, I know there are a few fanfictions with Ash having a Gardevoir as A Pokémon but in mine it will be a bit different. As most of you know I got inspired to write this after reading "Traveler" and some of my Pokémon will be like those in Traveler but a bit different. Basically, my Yuki will be the equivalent of Traveler's Seeker the Zubat. My, Yuki is just a baby and that's how she will stay until I say otherwise. I hope you all found her backstory interesting and sorry if I offended readers by writing that way but like I said in the first chapter my story will have some dark element from time to time. I also hoped you enjoyed my version of Eren and Mikasa's past of how they met. I also hoped you enjoyed my first written battle scene with Charizard, I hope it came out good. One final thing regarding the Pokémon of my world, my Pokémon will not be tied to one region specifically meaning that you will see some Pokémon from different regions in Kanto like the Beldum colony in Mt. Moon. Don't worry thou it will be only thru migrations, or they were brought there. Also, for Ash's look I'm leaving it like that because I always found anime heroes with trench coat and long hair cool and I wanted my Ash to be look like that. One last thing for real now, for Pokémon human Characters that don't have last name given in the anime I will use the first name of their Japanese voice actors as you saw in the chapter. Hmm I think that's all. Sorry if I took a while to upload this but as you saw it was because it was a huge chapter and I had to edit it to make it readable. I hope the wait was worth it. Please review/favorite/follow it. Also, I will try to upload the next one as fast as I can, but it will take a while since I go back to work on Tuesday because believe it or not, I am an actual Sensei/Teacher. I'm doing this for fun but I will try to manage my time so I can continue writing this. I will not be abandoning it. Have a great day/night/morning/afternoon from wherever your reading this. Like always constructive criticism is accepted but flames will be ignored.
