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 – Hello my dear readers! I am back again with another chapter!

Ok so I am finally gonna ask something I've been meaning to since I posted this story.

At some point before her journey starts I was planning to have Rin merge with a dying legendary but I am unsure of which to pick so I'm putting a poll up for it. Please vote!

Anyways! Here's the next chapter! Thank you to those who reviewed, followed and favourited this story.

Chapter 2 – A New Outlook On Life –

To say Samuel was worried would be a huge understatement. It had been two weeks since their vacation. Delia had been declared dead via bullet wounds to major organs. Red, despite having life threatening injuries, had somehow survived and was now in a coma. Their daughter was in a self-induced coma. She had been like that since the day of her the tragedy.

Another thing was that Gary hadn't left her side since he had brought her to the hospital. What he didn't tell the poor boy was that there was a very high risk of her never waking up.

How was he supposed to tell a 5 year old that his best friend was most likely never going to wake up? He sighed for what seemed like the zillionth time that day and paced slightly.

He sat down in a chair outside of Rin's hospital room and sighed again. A lot of problems had popped up due to Red being in a coma and Delia's death.

The Kanto league was now without a champion and they had also lost their top coordinator and breeder. The elite four were devastated when they caught word of their champion's demise and they had all been pretty depressed since.

He was brought out of his thoughts rather abruptly by his grandson who had throw the door of the room open and was now looking at him grinning from ear to ear. He didn't say anything and just pulled him into the room.

He wondered what had gotten him so happy until his eyes fell of the figure on the bed which was... now ... sitting up!

Rin looked over at the pair with emotionless mismatched eyes. "Uncle Sam..." she mumbled and he nodded.

Rin was confused. She felt numb. Her parents... Were dead... She didn't want to believe it but somewhere in her mind she knew it was true and that truth hit her like a ton of bricks.

Her eyes watered and she started shaking. Her tiny hands gripped the duvet draped over her so hard that her knuckles turned white.

"So they're really gone huh..." she said as more tears fell. Gary looked confused. "Hey come on! Don't cry! I'm here for you!" He exclaimed as he scrambled onto the bed and hugged her.

Oak wanted to correct her and tell her about her father still being alive but it had been agreed that she wouldn't be told of her father's coma. It would cause her too much stress and she had enough of that already. She'd probably blame herself if she found out anyway.

Rin's arms immediately wrapped around Gary and she continued to cry. About 15 minutes later the cries turned to small sniffles.

She didn't let go of Gary but turned her head to look at her pseudo uncle. "W-Where will I go now?" she asked softly.

Oak offered a smile in return. "Well I know its pretty sudden but you could come live with us if you'd like. We have a spare bedroom. The paperwork of your guardianship being shifted to me has already been filled out so all we need is your consent." He replied.

The second he finished Rin's head shot up in surprise. "Y-You really mean it!?" she exclaimed. He nodded immediately. She smiled happily before she squeezed Gary with all her might. "Yes! I would love to! Thank you so much!" she exclaimed happily.

Gary was just as shocked as Rin had been a moment ago. His pretty best friend was going to be living with them. He'd get to see her everyday! He was ecstatic until he found himself unable to breath due to Rin's death hug.

He patted her back weakly and she pulled back in confusion. When she saw his blue face she let go immediately and began apologizing profusely, her face a light crimson.

Once he had regained his breath he grinned and shrugged it off while telling her he was fine. She smiled sweetly at him and he felt a weird fluttery feeling in his stomach. He suddenly wondered if he was getting sick.

Oak snickered at the sight of Gary's red face. With them living with each other, maybe just maybe, there would be a budding romance in the future.

Oak calmed down and smiled at the pair. The coming years sure would be interesting for him.

Revised - 01/01/2019

Nagisa – I know this is a short chapter but it's like that for a reason. I want to if you guys think I should time skip to the point that Rin starts her journey or not. I want your opinion since you're the ones reading it.

Another thing is do you think I should start the journey at the original 10 years old or should it be 15 years old?

I honestly think it should be 15 because what good parent sends their kid out to fend for themselves at 10 years old? But it's you readers who're reading this story so like the other thing I want your opinion on the matter.

I need this to be sorted before I can write the next chapter so please give your opinion whether through PM or reviews. It doesn't really matter which.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter x

See ya next time kittens xxx
