If some of you are confused why I stated that she will not be ready til Johto and thinking well that will still only make her 12 years old, I will clear this up now, she will not start a journey at 10 something happens which will be explained in later chapters so the age is raised from 10 til 16 so therefore making her 18 – 19 when she goes to Johto :).

Chapter 1

5 Years later –

Today was Ashlynn's 5th birthday so Delia and Red decided they were going to treat Ash to go to Professor Oak's lab and corral, whilst setting up her surprise birthday party.

Delia, Red and Ash walked towards the professor's lab but Ash was brimming in excitement, she turned to her Dad and Mum and asked if she was going to be able to play with the pokemon today, as to Ash nothing is more exciting that playing with pokemon, she practically lives and breathes pokemon, and it was no surprised that her first word mummy was followed by pokemon.

The gang arrived at Oak's Lab and quickly entered the place, due to being such close friends with the family they never need to bother with knocking just enter the place saying Hello (I don't know if any of you have friends / family members like this, but this is very common for mine, my families and friends homes especially if we have known one another for a long time.)

Professor Oak quickly greeted Delia and Red and crouched down to Ashlynn's level and smiled at the young lass, "So I heard it was a certain somebody's birthday today? I heard that she is turning into quit e a big girl today as well, hitting 5 years old, my that's only 5 years away from her journey" (Yes I know that I stated that she will not be starting her pokemon journey til she is 16, in the next few chapters it will explain why this is still at the age of 10 ;)) Ash replied back "Yes, I turn 5 today, I cannot wait to get to go on my own journey, with pokemon as my friends by my side" the Professor smiled indulgently to the child and said "well since it is your birthday how about you go outside to corral and have look around at all the pokemon I have out there, and the trainers I sponsor" Ash looked towards her mummy and daddy asking if this would be alright? They stated yes of course it would be, so Ashlynn went outside to the Corral.

As Ashlynn went outside Delia and Red thanked the professor for allowing them to use his lab to set up the birthday surprise party for Ash, the professor just waved his hand in a dismissing manner stating it was no problem at all, the Professor then stated that her was going to give her an Eevee from himself as well as training weights for both pokemon and human, Red and Delia stated they were giving her a Charmander that was breed especially for her daughter with red's own Dragonite and Charizard.

Whilst the grownups were talking inside Ash was wondering around the corral, when she spotted several pokemon playing together, the pokemon noticed her and ran all up to her, and greeted her with much enthusiasm. The pokemon that greeted her were a Eevee, Rattata, Riolu, Growlithe, Pidgey, Ralts and a Lillipup. She stopped by them and asked if she could join in their game to which they all replied back positively, the guys decided it was time to play hide and seek, with Ash playing the seeker part of the game, the pokemon quickly ran around the area to look for hiding places Ash had to count up to 20 before finding them, she started to count then when she reached 20 she went off looking, she found Rattata fairly quickly and then the others but on the way for her to find ralts she heard a distress call, she looked at the others and told them not to follow, she will be back as soon as she can, she took off in the direction of where she heard the call, and upon entering the space she spotted a pokemon that was down on the ground covered in cuts and bruises the small pokemon was a blue snake like pokemon with white underbelly and white ears and another pokemon which was much bigger and had a fierce look upon its face this pokemon was a grey pokemon and had a horn, if she remembered correctly from the books she has read that this pokemon was a Rhyhorn, and the pokemon that was down was a Dratini.

She distracted the Rhyhorn long enough for the Dratini to slither away some place hidden, the Rhyhorn looked at Ash and started to get closer and closer, as it did, Ash started to admit a glow from her body and the Rhyhorn just stopped looked at her, and then left alot calmer, Ash looked around to see if she could see the Dratini but she couldn't but all of a sudden she could feel something wrap around her legs and she looked down and saw the very pokemon she was just looking for, due to the fact the Dratini was still injured she convinced the Dratini to come with her so they could get it all healed up, so she bent down and picked the pokemon up and started to run back to the professor's lab where she knew he'd be able to help.

Upon entering the Corral, the pokemon friends she were just playing with, saw her and the injured pokemon with her, gathered around her and formed a circle, keeping up with Ashlynn as she ran with everything she has, back to the lab.

Ash quickly entered the lab and shouted for her mum and dad as well as Professor oak, the three adults ran into where she was and was shocked to see a Dratini in her arms, she quickly explained what had happened and that the Dratini was injured and needed attention straight away, so the professor lead the Ashlynn to the area where he can heal the pokemon, he told Ash to put the Dratini in the machine and that the pokemon will be fine soon, Ash thanked the professor and was just about to leave, but as she turned the Dratini cooed out for her, not wanting to leave, Ash just looked at the professor asking if it would be alright for her to stay as clearly the pokemon only trusted her for the moment, the professor saw no problem with this and allowed the girl to stay with her.

The machine worked quickly and within 10 minutes the Dratini was healthy again, but probably most of its wounds were superficial, so the only things that needed really healing was the Dratini's health, upon being healed and able to move without pain the Dratini looked upon the girl that helped her (yes I know I have being referring to Dratini as an it not giving a specific gender, but that is only due to the fact that the humans did not know what gender she was but once she gets scanned they will know ;)) and cooed to her again, Ashlynn getting the hint walked towards the pokemon and the Dratini jumped into Ash's arms, the professor was surprised at this due to the fact that Dratini are normally 1. Very hard to find, and 2 shy towards others, unlike their evolved forums of Dragonair and Dragonite.

Ashlynn looked towards the professor and stated that it looked like Dratini wanted to stay with her which got a coo in response as in saying yes that Ashlynn is correct. The professor just shrugged and went as long as it was okay with her parents he did not see the harm in it himself, of course her parents said yes she could keep the Dratini with them, not like even if they said no would stop the little dragon following them home, seems as if it has been recently hatched and has imprinted on Ashlynn due to the fact it is the first person / being it has seen and was kind to it.

Professor Oak brought out his old pokédex and scanned the Dratini, (all stats will be after chapter) just stated that it was a Female, so now they knew that the little dragon was a little miss as well.

Professor Oak then turned to Ashlynn and stated that why didn't she go back outside for another hour, and when it was time they would call her back in, so she did and took Dratini with her, she introduced Dratini to the others and they all got along, the pokemon decided due to the scare that happened earlier they didn't want to play the just wanted to sit near Ash to make sure she wasn't going to pull another stunt like that again, mystified by this and amused she petted and cuddled all the pokemon much to their delight.

One hour later, all adults and children have arrived and set up the surprise party, Red and Delia decided it was time to get Ashlynn inside now, so they turned off the lights and got everyone to be silent, they got Ash in, and just as she reached the living room, they all jumped out screaming SURPISE, Ash went wide eyed at this and jumped a mile which also scared the little Dratini, and in response of being scared the little dragon type hissed at the others, which set them off all cooing and awing over the site.

The whole gang had wished Ashlynn a happy birthday, and then it was time for presents, Red and Delia got to go first due to the fact they are her parents, she got a pokéball and she looked at her parents bewildered, so they just stated to open it, so she opened the pokéball and out came a shiny charmander, she looked up at her parents in shock, so her father decided to tell her that this little charmander had only hatched a few weeks ago, from his Charizard and Dragonite, it is a female and knows alot of egg moves, she thanked her parents profoundly and grabbed the charmander and had her sit on her lap, they then stated that wasn't the only present she was getting, she also got books on self defense, cooking for humans and pokemon, pokemon types and what they mean, survival 101 in the wild, 5 thunderstones, waterstones, leafstones, firestones and moonstones, 3 of every other type of evolution stones plus 1 of every evolution type item.

From professor oak she gained another Pokéball and upon opening this one a cute little fox like pokemon came out, named Eevee, she once again thanked the professor and cuddled the Eevee up close to herself, the professor then gave her the second present which was training weights for both human's and pokemon alike.

From Blue and Yellow and family she got another pokéball and upon opening this a Pichu came out, she looked at the family and thanked them, they all knew how much she loved the Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu evolution line. They just smiled at the girl and gave her a hug and told her to look after the pokemon as it was hatched from Yellow's own Pikachu and Raichu which amazed Ash even more, as Yellow, Blue, Silver, Green and Red her father are all champion levelled trainers.

The finally but not least from Green and Silver she had yet another pokéball and when she opened it out came a Hoppip, she looked at them, and thanked them as well, silver just smirked and welcomed the kid and green smiled even wider, she stated due to the fact that silver and green were not originally from pallet town they wanted to give her a pokemon from their home region which was Johto, the Hoppip was an egg from Green's own Jumpluff and Silvers Togetic.

Ash thanked all the adults and gave them a hug, and then gave her friends Gary, Daisy and Emerald a hug as well which made all the adults laugh, and even more so when Gary went bright red.

They all went into the dining room, where the party food was dished out thanks to the aids of the pokemon professor, and had a good party, it was nearly 10pm which was quite late when Ash decided to ask a question, she asked if she could be trained by Professor Oak, and her mum and dad to learn how to take care of herself and pokemon better especially if she was to go out on a journey, she would rather know how to heal with natural resources and things like that if she is to far from a pokemon centre, the adults agreed and set up a timetable for her to follow weekly which is as following.

Mondays – Fridays
6am get up
7am – 9am - studying with professor oak
9am – 9.30am – breakfast
9.30 – 12.30 - more studying with professor oak

7.30 – 9.30 – training with her mother and father some more
9.45 – bed time

Saturdays & Sundays, are to be days for relaxation.

Agreeing to the schedule Ash and Parents left after saying goodnight to the Oak's family and Blue, Silver and Emerald, and went home to bed.

Ash as she was getting ready to go to bed, looked back upon the day and smiled, she was really excited and couldn't wait for the next 5 years to past.
