A Merger's Fate – Chapter 1

Summary – What if the chosen one was brought up being, albeit unknowingly, exposed to the evils of the world. How would this effect our young hero? With a different outlook on life how would their journey play out? Would they meet new people? New Pokémon? Fem!Ash. Partial Godlike!Ash.

Nagisa – Yeah! Second chapter on the first day! I hope you're all enjoying the story so far. :3

If there is anything you'd wish to see happen in the story then PM me and I'll see what I can do.

I don't know why but I keep listening to Chivalry by Rin and Len from Vocaloid. Just thought I'd throw that out there despite it having no relevance... Wait. Yes it does. I got Ash's female name from it XD

A shout out to AnonChan1. They helped me sort some things out for the chapter while I was writing it.

Chapter 1 – Surprises and a dark turn –

It had been a hectic five and a half months since the Ketchum's had brought their new daughter home. She already had Red wrapped around her little finger which amused Delia to no end. Despite all of his protests she knew he was just a sucker for a pretty face.

There was one thing that was strange about their little Rin though. Unlike all other new born babies they had seen or heard stories about, she didn't fuss a lot. She also slept soundly throughout the nights. She seemed to laugh at anything and everything that moved in a way she found strange.

Today was like any other day for the Ketchum family. Delia had gotten up a little earlier than Red so she could feed Rin and make them both breakfast. Another thing to note is that she had a huge appetite just like her father.

Delia almost dreaded the time when she started to eat solids. She would have to cook so much food!

She must've been making a weird face because not even a second after she thought that Rin began to giggle. Red came down stairs while rubbing sleep out of his eyes.

All of a sudden the most unexpected thing happened. Rin held her chubby hands up to her mother with another giggle. "Mama!" she exclaimed.

Delia's eyes became as wide as dinner plates and her jaw dropped. Her baby said her first word at only 5 and a half months. The shock soon dissipated leaving an unexplainable joy behind.

Red raced the rest of the way to the kitchen with a massive grin. He ran straight to Rin and picked her up before spinning her around. "You said your first word! My little munchkin's so clever! Who's the smartest baby in the world!? You are! Yes you are!" he cooed.

Rin squealed and clapped her hands together happily. He placed her in her high chair before crouching down to her level.

He pointed at himself and grinned. "Dada!" she exclaimed again. Red felt so happy that he actually started crying. He turned to Delia. "Our little Rin's so smart!" he cried. "I don't know why I'm crying!" he exclaimed as he took a seat at the table and continued to cry into his arm.

Delia sweat dropped at her husband's ridiculous behaviour but went over to him and patted his back sympathetically. "There there. It's alright. Her being smart is a good thing dear. That means she'll be able to learn from us to the fullest and reach her full potential. Isn't that a good thing?" she asked.

He sat up and nodded with a sniff. He looked over at Rin and found her playing with a strand of his hair. It had slipped out of her grasp when he sat up and she frowned slightly before randomly giggling again.

The two looked at each other with raised eyebrows before shaking their heads. "I have the strangest feeling that she is going to be really hard to satisfy in a few years. I've already seen her looking at the book shelves with curiosity." He started before he scowled lightly.

"Being intelligent and pretty is a great combination. I'm gonna have to find a really long stick to beat them boys off" he growled protectively. "No one touches my baby without talking with me first." He said as he stared at the tree in the back garden through the window. He wondered how many sticks he could get from that tree alone.

Delia sighed at her husband's silly behaviour. He couldn't protect her forever and he very well knew that. Sighing again she dished up their breakfast and they ate in silence.

Time skip – 6 and a half months later –

Both Delia and Red had been having a blast these past few months. Because of her early speech development they had started to teach her how to talk properly.

She had actually come pretty far. She could easily convey what she wanted now. She had started walking at around seven and a half months old.

Today was a very special day for Rin because today was her very first birthday! Samuel Oak was coming to the party and bringing along his grandson Gary. She would finally meet someone her age! Hopefully they would get along.

Samuel seemed to have his own little prodigy on his hands as well. Gary had started to speak about a month after Rin and they had started walking around the same time although Gary seemed to get distracted by the simplest of things.

At around 12:00 Samuel arrived with Gary waddling next to him. Gary immediately spotted Rin and he made his way over to her. Surprisingly the two became fast friends.

(Nothing notable happened for the next few years so I'm gonna time skip.)

Time skip – 4 years later –

Rin had progressed so much in the past few years. She was learning so much more everyday and she somehow seemed to remember it all. Delia would often find her and Red having lengthy conversations on lots of different things about Pokémon.

Over these past four years she had sure grown a lot. She was now at a nice height of 3 feet 8 inches. She had long wavy black hair cascading down her back and ending just past her rear.

She liked to wear jean shorts and skirts much to her father's dismay. Whenever she saw a book with something new in it she somehow always got her hands on it.

Overall, the past few years had been good on the Ketchum family apart from a time from the year prior. The family had gone on holiday as they did every year but for the life of her, Rin couldn't remember anything that had happened in that span of three months. She didn't even remember where they had gone and it frustrated her to no end. At this point she had somewhat given up on remembering and her parent's didn't even seem to know why she had such trouble recalling those three months since she was well known for her good memory.

Right now they were on their way to a hotel in Undella town in the Unova region. Rin was super excited. This was her first holiday ever and she got to go with her best friend Gary! Her parents had invited him and professor oak to join them since it looked like oak needed a break.

As soon as they had dropped of their things Rin had changed and dragged them all down to the beach. They did so much together.

They built sand castles, ate chips and ice cream, played in the sea and had water fights. They even got to play with the Pokémon although Gary nearly stepped on a Stunfisk. It gave a cry before disappearing into the deeper water.

Rin never thought she could be this happy. Nothing could possibly ruin this happiness! She turned to her father. "Father! Come play with me!" she shouted happily while waving at him.

Her father nodded and got up. The second he was standing a loud bang echoed around the beach.

Rin winced and clasped her hands over her ringing ears. Before she could regain her bearings she was shoved to the ground as people pushed each other to get off of the beach.

She cried out in pain as she was trampled by the terrified people. When everyone had passed over her she winced and tried to push herself up only for an unbearable pain to shoot up her arm.

She screamed in both shock and pain which proved to be a mistake. The loud bang had come from a hand gun in a man's hand. There were multiple people dressed the same as him around the beach.

They all wore white uniforms with big red R's on them... And now the main one's attention was on Rin. Red cursed at his bad luck. He thought they had disbanded after Giovanni disappeared so why where they here?!

"Hahaha! Look at this boys! It's that bastard Ketchum's kid! We could probably fetch quite a price for you! You should come with us! We could give you anything you'd ever want! So what do you say huh kid?" the leader said with an arrogant smirk.

Rin looked up at the man despite not being able to get up right now. She stuttered nervously but couldn't get out a reply.

Red screamed in anger and lunged at the man who just smirked and pointed the gun at him and pulled the trigger. He had just ran past Rin when the bullet connected.

Rin shook violently as he father fell right in front of her. "W-W-W-What... N-No... F-Father" she choked out as tears built in her widened eyes.

Delia ran over to us and tried to find any signs of life from Red. Said man coughed and tried to move but blood spurted from his chest wound.

Delia hugged him for dear life but she could hear his heart beat slowing. The man who shot the gun reloaded it before pointing it at the frozen Rin. Tears leaked from Delia's eyes but as soon as she heard the safety of the gun being removed she jumped up and used herself as a shield so the bullet didn't hit her daughter.

She squeezed her arms around her daughter and tensed when the bullet went straight through her heart. She died almost instantly but didn't make a peep.

Rin couldn't breathe. It had all happened so quickly! She didn't understand why! Her mother's body went limp before she fell sidewards.

She scrambled to catch her before she hit the ground which was hard considering her possibly broken arm. She winced but managed to pull Delia over to Red.

Red was just barely breathing now and when she kneeled by him he smiled weakly. He reached a hand up and stroked her cheek. "Your mother and I always loved you so much. Make us p-proud Rin..." he said before he let out his final breathe.

As his hand fell she caught it but he didn't move. At that moment something snapped inside of her. A seed of anger just kept growing and growing before it burst. "Why would you do this!? They didn't do anything wrong! You're sick! They didn't deserve this!" she screamed in rage, her tears unstoppable at this point.

Samuel came back to the beach after hearing about the commotion. They arrived just as a blue and red energy burst from her body. Samuel cringed at the sight of the energy. "Red warned me about this..." he mumbled. He hadn't seen the bodies yet though.

A scream filled with all of her raw emotions tore from her throat and the energy whipped around like fire. It hit each and every one of the grunts on the beach. They were knocked out instantly.

The energy then began to receded back into her body before it disappeared completely. Oak rushed over and gasped in horror at the sight of the unmoving bodies of the eldest Ketchum's.

Before he could ask anything, Rin swayed from side to side before she passed out.

Rin felt so exhausted after that. She felt the adrenaline die down. The last thing she heard was a worried shout from Professor Oak before her world went black.
