Rin: and we are here with chapter five rewrite! We are almost caught up! I have two more rewrite chapters and the rest will be regular chapters! Guys Like I can't even describe my journey with this story. Can you belive I was in freakin junior high when this first was published? So many years of depression, so many times I lost my way and had to rewrite this story. There was a time that I went though so much insecurity that I thought I wasn't good enough and I just flat out quit. A teacher in my high school was the cause for me to quit. He was a strict man and it seemed no matter what I did my writing wasn't good enough. It wasn't till my junior year of high school that a different teacher gave me the confidence to write again. Hence I started rewriting this. Then life got in the way. And more depression happened but despite everything I am so proud of my writing and how it has developed. I still believe I have so much room for improvement. But with time that can always be accomplished. I just wanted to share that with you all. Anyway here is chapter five.

Dawn's POV
Paul and I originally were waiting for the girls to wake up. But, Paul was starting to grow anxious and so Paul had taken Kairi from Torterra, thanked the continent Pokemon and returned him. He turned to Ursaring about to speak but noticed the bear Pokemon pull Mira closer to its chest and growled. Paul smirked in understanding.
"Alright Ursaring I understand, I'll leave her with you" Paul said watching as Mira let out a small groan before she snuggled into Ursaring's chest. I smiled but then froze when we noticed a light from Kairi's belt flashed and out came a Luxray. The Luxray saw Kairi in Paul's arms and immediately ran toward him nuzzling its mane against Kairi worry in its gold eyes. Luxray began licking Kairi's face causing a groan to escape the girl's lips and her eyes slowly opened
"Luxray?" She looked around and then noticed she was in Paul's arms
"Dad?" she let out another groan
"What happened? Wait where's Mira!" She said and began thrashing about. Paul tightened his grip on Kairi hugging her close to his chest.
"Mira and you are safe but we do need to get moving we've spent too much time here, who knows if they will come back but I'd rather not wait around to find out" Paul said and Kairi instantly relaxed.
"You can put me down now dad if something happens Luxray can carry me" she said softly Paul reluctantly set her down and we all grabbed our stuff and set out with Luxray and Kairi in the lead since the lion Pokemon was able to see in the dark. I glanced over and noticed Paul looked stressed and tired. I then glanced at Kairi who was now resting on top of Luxray's back hugging he lion Pokemon lovingly. Mira was now awake in Ursaring's arms but even she looked tired.
"Paul.. maybe we should stop and set up camp we made quite a distance from our old campsite…" I said with hesitation Paul glanced at me with his cold onyx eyes.
"No, we need to keep going" he said stubbornly.
"But Paul the girl's are exhausted, I'm exhausted and you look tired too" I said softly he let out a frustrated sigh.
"I know but, I don't want to risk them finding us again and.." he said and let his sentence fade. 'He's trying so hard to keep us safe..' I let out a sigh and nodded and froze when he stopped and kneeled in front of me.
"Paul what are you doing?"
"Don't ask and just get on you troublesome woman" Paul snapped. I hesitantly climbed onto his back and squeaked holding onto him tighter as he stood up straight and began walking.
"Get some rest troublesome." he said quietly my cheeks reddened at his words. I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
"Don't push yourself Paul" I muttered. I heard him scoff.
"Shut up and go to sleep troublesome" he muttered I smiled and let his scent lull me to sleep.
Paul's POV
No matter how tired I felt I refused to stop walking Dawn, Mira and Kairi were all safely asleep which was some relief. I wanted to keep it that way which is why despite the aching in my legs and my eyes wanting so desperately to close, I pushed on for them. I felt Dawn stir and inwardly sighed.
"Paul you really should get some rest" She said softly her head still resting on my shoulder I let out an agitated sigh and finally gave in I walked over to a tree and set down Dawn gently before sitting beside her tiredly. Ursaring and Luxray did the same but were resting by trees across from us.
"See, now was that so hard?" Dawn said smiling with relief I rolled my eyes and threw a sleeping bag at her. She snickered and unzipped it then laid it on the ground.
"There now sit on it" she said I tiredly moved to sit on her makeshift blanket and leaned my head back against the three. I glanced at Dawn when I saw her open her sleeping bag like she had done with mine and laid it on top of both of us.
"Get some sleep Paul" she said softly. I rolled my eyes
"Shut up troublesome" I muttered and let sleep begin to take me even after feeling Dawn rest her head on my shoulder.
Sometime in the middle of the night I was startled awake and snapped my eyes open to see Mira with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Daddy I had a bad dream.. Can I sleep with you and mommy" She asked her bottom lip quivering I looked around for Ursaring who was still asleep not aware that Mira had gotten up. I let out a small sigh and opened the blanket allowing Mira to crawl in. Once she was settled in I covered her with the blanket and waited till she was asleep before going back to sleep myself.
Kairi's POV
It was a little before sunrise when I woke up and saw mom and Mira cuddled up to dad, while dad protectively held them. Mira opened her eyes and motioned me to come over. I rolled my eyes and went over she lifted the blanket and moved closer to dad allowing me to scoot in the moment I had sat down I felt a protective arm wrap around me and noticed dad was now hugging the three of us close. I allowed myself to smile and felt sleep take me knowing Luxray would wake us all up if he needed to.
"Kairi, Kairi wake up" I heard mom say while shaking me gently awake I opened my eyes lazily
"Kairi, come on get up we need to head out we sort of overslept" mom said I nodded and stood up stretching.
"Where's dad and Mira?" I asked. Mom pointed off in the direction of where they were. I glanced and noticed dad and Mira were cooking together.
"As soon as we eat we're heading out again" Mom said I looked at her and nodded. I was then literally knocked out of my thoughts by Luxray tackling me down nuzzling me with its mane making me giggle.
"Hey Luxray How's my handsome boy this morning?" I asked kissing Luxray's forehead gently. I screamed and laughed when I was knocked back down and was now being licked to death.
"Luxray! Come on handsome boy let me up" I said in between giggles Luxray moved off and sat obediently waiting for me to stand back up.
"You and your luxray are really close" Mom said with a smile on her face I nodded and pet Luxray smiling.
"Yeah I try to be close to all my Pokemon but Chimchar, Luxray, Umbreon and Riolu would probably be the ones I'm closest too especially that Riolu thinks I'm its mother.." I said trailing off the moment that Riolu hatched he immediately imprinted on me, I never babied the young pokemon but I did treat Riolu as if he was my own child and it was he who made the choice to get in a Pokeball thanks to Chimchar. Guess the old saying 'monkey see, monkey do,' is pretty true. And with Riolu being the youngest he seemed to follow the actions of all of my other Pokemon.
"So are all of your Pokemon male?" mom asked looking at Luxray's mane. I shook my head.
"All of them are male except Feebas." I said she nodded.
"Food is ready!" Mira yelled Dawn and I walked over toward dad and Mira I noticed dad had all his Pokemon out and mom was in the process of letting hers out too I began doing the same
"Come on guys food time!" I said letting all my Pokemon out except Feebas.
"If there's some kind of water nearby I need to let Feebas out so she can eat too" I said looking at mom and dad while laying bowls of food for my pokemon. Riolu instantly made a jump for me and latched onto my neck.
"Hi little man" I said softly nuzzling Riolu close causing him to cry in absolute glee.
"Momma put your food with big brother Chimchar and Luxray and big brother Staraptor" I said pointing to Luxray,Chimchar and Staraptor. Riolu made a delighted noise and rushed over toward the three Pokemon happily sitting with them and eating his food. Umbreon sat a little ways away silently eating his food.
"Your Riolu is adorable!" Mom gushed I smiled with pride.
"Thanks he's a bit of a momma's boy" I said laughing softly and took a seat beside Mira. She handed me a cup of Ramen.
"Daddy and I thought this would be a good quick breakfast meal before we head out" Mira said slurping away at her Ramen.
"Mira manners" I said softly she blushed and nodded and ate more quietly. Mom looked over and noticed that Umbreon didn't seem too social with the other pokemon
"Hey Kairi how come your Umbreon is isolated from the others?" she asked I looked over at Umbreon and sighed.
"He'll work with them just fine and wouldn't hesitate to protect them but he's always been to himself though he will be more affectionate with Riolu and more protective of Feebas but other than that he just prefers to be alone, I think it's his way of watching over us without distraction" I said Umbreon seemed to sense I was looking at him and silently came over to me nuzzling my hand in a way of greeting. I smiled down a the dark Pokemon.
"How's Momma's other little man today" I asked gently petting his head. The dark Pokemon only responded with nuzzling my hand more happily and plopping down at my side.
Ryuu's POV
We had taken the risk by finding a place to camp for the night but the guys all took turns keeping watch. Though when it was my turn Sayuri refused to sleep and stayed up with me. Which was the reason as to why she was now sleeping peacefully on my back. We had all ate breakfast courtesy of Uncle Brock, and then packed up to begin our walk once more. I could feel Sayuri's small but constant breathing on my neck as she slept and smiled softly.
"So Ryuu when can we expect the wedding invites" Rai said snickering I glared at him.
"Rai, Leave him alone" Ren snapped I let out a relieved sigh as Rai backed off and went to talk to Sarina.
"So they still don't suspect anything" Ren said to me quietly I nodded
"Which amazes me since Sayuri is the spitting image of misty but with brown eyes." I said softly back. Brock suddenly came toward us after we heard a strange noise that sounded distorted.
"What do you think that noise is?" Brock asked I glanced at him with an emotionless face.
"I don't know but from how close it is, there's no time to take cover." I said. Brock nodded and all of us readied ourselves to release a Pokemon. Suddenly five figures appeared in front of us.
"Hey Cassi! Your family friend's invention worked! We found them" a familiar male voice said
"Ace?" I asked unsure that what I was seeing was real.
"The one and only" Ace said smiling. Ace had chin length, brown, wavy, thick layered hair with side swept bangs parted on the left side, dark skin, and red eyes. He was wearing light brown pants, a white shirt, black leather vest, black leather fingerless gloves, black shoes. And a Grey beanie.
"Did I hear Cassia was here too?" Ren asked in a panicked tone Ace nodded smirking and pointed to a girl with dark skin, brown eyes and light green hair in twin buns with two strands framing face her doll like face. She had a long sleeved dark green sweater, white knit scarf and black skinny jeans with black boots. I watched in amusement as Ren ran over to the girl
"Cassi! What on earth are you doing here!" Ren asked pulling the girl in a hug. Cassia scoffed and looked up at Ren with suppressed anger.
"You left us behind!" She yelled I smirked knowing that Cassia took after her mother rather than her formal natured father.
"Who is us?" I asked Cassia pointed out the other figures and I let out a sigh. I recognized two of the three figures. One was a girl with long wavy brown hair cascading down her back just above her butt with part of her hair in pigtails with two strands of hair framing her face. She had black rimmed glasses hiding her brown eyes. She was wearing a beige sweater with a brown and white plaid skirt and dark brown knee socks with tan boots. The other figure was a younger boy who looked the age of Mira, with scruffy brown hair, brown eyes. He had on a white collared, Black and red striped shirt, black pants, red shoes, black jacket.
"You brought Aurora and Emmet!" I snapped Cassia rolled her brown eyes.
"Of course I brought them we have the two professor prodigies now" Cassia said crossing her arms. I rubbed my temples in irritation. It was bad enough that we were here now we were responsible for more people. I then glanced at the last figure who was remaining quiet. He had straight shaggy light brown hair with part of his hair covering his blue eyes. He had on a long blue hoodie that reached his knees, a black zipped-up shirt, red pants with dark brown shoes, and black gloves.
"Who's he" Rai said rudely after seeing Sarina going starry eyed at the boy.
"Ben!" I wince as Sayuri accidentally yelled in my ear. Ben smiled and waved
"Hey Sayuri" He greeted calmly I set Sayuri down and watched her hug the boy.
"Ryuu this is my friend I was telling you about!" Sayuri said excitedly 'So thats Serena's and Calem's son huh' I offered my hand to the younger boy and smiled
"I'm Ryuu good to meet you" Ben took my hand shaking it a smirk on his lips
"Oh I know who you are very well Sayuri talks non stop about you" I glanced toward Sayuri who was as red as a charmeleon.
"Oh she does?" I asked still looking at Sayuri and smiled at her. Ben seemed to notice and grinned.
"Yea quite often and nonstop" He said I nodded and reached over to pat Sayuri's head gently and watched as she turned even more red.
"So..Does anyone wanna explain what is going on?" Ash finally spoke up I cringed forgetting that Brock and Ash were here watching everything with wide eyes.
"Looks like the Meowth is out of the bag…" Ren said with a sigh and looked at Ash and Brock
"None of us are from this time, and we all came here to take down an organization that has taken over our timeline. We also have high belief our cousins were sent to this time as well" Ren said.
"So my suspicions were correct, I thought some of you looked familiar yet unfamiliar" Brock said crossing his arms in thought.
"You're the spitting image of Reggie, while your cousin is the exact spitting image of Paul except his eyes are a dark blue while Paul's is onyx." Brock said and continued to look at us. I let out a sigh.
"Guess we should just introduce ourselves" I said. Ash stayed quiet the entire time seeming to process everything.
"I'm Ryuu, eldest child of Dawn and Paul. I have two sisters named Kairi and Mira." Ren stepped up along with Rose.
"I'm Ren this is my twin sister Rose we are the children of Maylene and Reggie" Ren said smiling.
Sarina smiled and grabbed Sam's wrist.
"I'm Sarina and this is my twin Sam, Zoey and Kenny are our parents" She said grinning.
Rai stepped up and flicked his green hair smirking.
"I'm Rai son of the great May and Drew" All of us rolled our eyes at his statement.
Sayuri gripped my hand and shyly looked down before quietly speaking.
"My name is Sayuri..I'm..I'm...Ash and Misty's Daughter.." She said quietly
"HUH!?" Ash shouted a bright blush was across his tan cheeks. Aurora stepped up with Emmet in her arms and smiled
"I'm Aurora and this is my little brother Emmet. We are Gary and Leaf's kids" she said a wide smile on her face.
"Funny you don't act like Gary.." Ash muttered.
"We get that a lot" Aurora said with a sweat drop and laughed awkwardly. Ace stepped up and smiled a twinkling smile
"Hey I'm Ace, son of Brock and Pike Queen Lucy" Brock proceeded to fall over than instantly run up to Ace beaming up at him
"I actually get married and have a family!?" He asked with excitement Ace slowly nodded not really sure how to react to his father's weirdness. Ben let out a Sigh and offered a wave.
"I'm Ben, Serena and Calem's son" He said simply.
"And I'm Cassia, Iris and Cilan's Daughter some of our parent's names won't mean much right now, but will later on in your journey" Cassia said smiling gently
"Now that that is out of the way let's get moving once we get to a Pokemon Center we can further explain things" Ren said motioning for us to get moving. I smirked at how Cassia stayed by Ren's side and Ace made attempts to flirt with Rose.
"Atta boy son!" Brock cheered I let out a sigh 'it's gonna be a long day'
Dawn's POV
After we ate and cleaned up to make it look like we hadn't been there in the first place we began to walk once more Luxray, Chimchar, Umbreon and Riolu decided they didn't want to go back in their Pokeballs so Chimchar was on top of Kairi's head, Luxray walked proudly beside Kairi with Umbreon on the opposite side of Kairi, and Riolu rode on Luxray's back happily. Mira walked in between Paul and I, holding onto one of his hands along with mine humming happily. Paul looked deep with his usual scowl on his face.
"Paul, are you alright?" I asked quietly Paul looked at me and shook his head.
"It's nothing to worry about troublesome" He said quietly I let out a sigh but didn't push forward
"We'll talk later about it alright" He added without looking in my direct causing me to smile softly and nod.
"If we keep up our pace we should reach Hearthome in no time" Kairi said holding up a map her face scrunched up in concentration. Paul walked closer to her to take a look and nodded his head smirking down at her causing her to smile a small smile. I loved watching the rare moments Paul had with the girls it felt as if I was looking at a whole new side of him I hadn't seen before. Paul caught my staring and turned his smirk toward me I quickly lowered my gaze feeling heat rise to my cheeks. I didn't have to look up to know that his smirk widened in amusement. 'Sadistic jerk.'
