Once Ash had set up the pokemon with their new moves, she began to meditate to train some more in her aura, right now in her aura abilities she's at intermediate level, she still has a few more years of training yet left to do before she can call herself a master aura user.

This year for the holiday to celebrate Ashlynn's, Gary's and Emerald's Birthdays they are going to Sinnoh, when Ash had learnt of this she contacted Riley, Flint and Volkner to let them know, and they told her, they would meet up with them all when they arrive in Sinnoh, she also found out whilst speaking to them that Flint is now an Elite four member which she congratulated him for, and Volkner is now an electric type Gym Leader which she also congratulated him on his achievements, due to them stating that they will be with them for the 6 weeks they will be on holiday in Sinnoh Ash had asked if that would be alright, due to them being a gym leader or an Elite Four member, but both of them just waved her off stating that the League is now finished as its just been completed for the year, and that the next season is not yet to start quite yet, so they have a quiet time for about 2 months before it is due to start and even then, one Volkner's gym is the last gym so people need to gather all the other badges anyways before challenging Volkner and for Flint the winner of the league decided he wanted to train for a good 4 months before trying the Elite four challenge, so he has no duties for the elite four at the moment but could be called in at anytime, and Riley just stated that he's just a trainer / aura guardian so he can do what he pleases, unless of course the aura guardians are needed for something then he too would need to go.

Two weeks have passed and it is now Ash's birthday, the gang has decided there were just going to have a party just of Ash's family and closest friends, instead of trying to invite everyone from the different regions they have befriended.

With the party in full swing, it was time for presents, from her parents she received about 15 new outfits, as well as PJ's long sleeved ones as well as short sleeved ones and short type PJ's for the hotter weather also with the pj's she got two dressing gowns one for the hotter weather and one for the colder weather as well as slippers, also different types of shoes such as boots, high heeled, flats, and sandals, as well as 250k in money, from Professor Oak, she received 100k, personalized pencil case with full set of pens, pencils, colouring pencils, felts as well as pastels, with a drawing book for her sketch's and general drawings, as well as a camera for her with different photo frames, several for her family and some for her friends and new friends, from Blue, Yellow and Gary she received 50k as well as Jewellery, such as necklaces, bracelets, anklet bracelets and earrings with a Jewellery box to store her stuff, from Green and Silver and Emerald she received beauty type gift sets from them, containing makeup, and makeup brushes / sponges as well as make up removers and nail polish remover, skincare, perfumes and finally bath and body care which included shampoo's and conditioner she had also received 50k from them as well for a gift.

Ash had thanked them all for their gifts whilst being amazed at the things she got, although she's not a typical girly girl, she does appreciate the makeup and the other girly things she received.

After the presents it was time for food, which Delia with the help from Amelia (Yellow) and Aileen (Green) had prepared, she had also made a birthday cake for Ashlynn, with thirteen candles as well as it being triple layered sponge cake.

The party lasted until 12am, before everyone decided to head on home, with the party over now, the gang went to bed, before having to get up early to clean up from the party from the night, once the mess was all cleaned up, Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald went off to train their pokemon but also to train themselves, over the next week the gang trained but also was getting ready for their holiday to Sinnoh, as they leave on Saturday, and it is now Thursday, so tomorrow was to spend the day cleaning the clothes they wanted to take with them and packing as they will be leaving early hours in the morning on Saturday.

Ashlynn and the rest of the gang decided to only take 14 of their pokemon with them instead of all of them like they normally do, Ash had decided on Thor, Amaterasu, Riolu, Athena, Ares, Indra, Hephaestus, Eevee, Hoppip, Dratini, Aurae, Nox, Luna and Minerva.

Friday had finally came and the gang was up early to do all the washing and preparation for the holiday after all that was done the gang went to bed early to be up early in the morning to head over to Vermillion City to head to Sinnoh.

The boat trip from Kanto to Sinnoh will take 5 days in total, and once they arrive in Sinnoh they have to head off to Twinleaf Town where they will also meet up with Volkner, Flint and Riley before heading to the Region's Professor's Lab, whom Ash had learnt was called Professor Rowan.

On the ship there were plenty of things to do, such as swimming, training rooms for both people and pokemon, an area where battles can be taken, trading area for people whom wish to trade, relaxation areas, plus numerous of other things as well.

After a week of travelling on the boat the gang finally arrived in Twinleaf Town Sinnoh, upon arriving, Riley, Flint and Volkner spotted them all and started to head towards them to greet them, after saying hello to one another the gang with the newcomers headed off to Professor's Rowan's Lab.

Once they had arrived at the Lab Professor Rowan was already waiting outside to greet them all, once he had greeted them he showed them all around the lab and also introduced the younger guys to the starters of his region but to also update the guys pokédex's so they all scan the pokemon from the Sinnoh Region as well.

After meeting with Professor Rowan and getting their pokédex's updated Ashlynn, Gary, Emerald, Riley, Volkner and Flint decided to go outside and let out their pokemon to have some fun with, Riley, Volkner and Flint were impressed by Ash's pokemon that they had given to her, as they could sense how much stronger they all have gotten since being trained by her.

The gang had decided they were going to spend 3 days in Twinleaf Town which the Professor kindly offered them a place to stay in his place, which they accepted the offer.

Whilst the gang had stayed in Twinleaf Town the youngsters had trained and chilled out with one another whilst the adults chatted with Professor Rowan, the gang decided after staying in Twinleaf Town they were going to head off to Jubilife City next.

3 days have passed quickly and the gang was saying their goodbyes to Professor Rowan and then heading off to Jubilife City.

As Red, Silver, Blue, Professor Oak, Riley, Flint and Volkner had only one flying mount each it was decided that Professor Oak would take Gary on his Dragonite, Red would take his wife Delia, Silver would take his wife and Blue would take his wife, whist Riley would take Ashlynn and Flint would take Emerald due to Volkner's flying mount only being big enough for one person.

So off they went to fly to Jubilife City, it took 2 and half hours to fly from Twinleaf Town to Jubilife City, once the gang was there they booked into a hotel for 4 days whilst they were staying in the city. Although the City did not have very much to do the gang was able to visit different places such as the Jubilife TV, the pokétch company, they also signed up the a pokemon class for the day in the trainer's school just to see if they can learn anything new or if they already knew what they were teaching on the other 2 days the gang decided just to chill out and train their pokemon before heading off to the next city which they decided to go to Alamos Town.

The gang had now spent their 4 days in Jubilife City and was now preparing to fly off to Alamos Town, which in total would take 3 hours. They had left Jubilife City at 3pm so it would be 6pm when they would arrive at Alamos Town.

The gang had decided they were going to spend 5 days in Alamos town as there is quite a few things to see and do around the area.

Once they had arrived in Alamos town, the gang headed off to book into a hotel and have some food then chill out for the night before heading to bed to go on a tour of the city in the morning.

The next day the gang all got up at 7am, had breakfast in the hotel before heading off to the visitor centre to go on the tour around the city. The main attractions for the tour were the Space - Time tower and the pokemon garden, the tour only took 4 hours in total as they did go through the whole city, and stopped in a couple of souvenirs shops.

After the tour the gang had stopped off to have a bite to eat in a cafe not far from the Space-time Tower, after having food they had decided to get a proper look around the space-time tower, on the way there though the gang had bumped into three people who introduced themselves as Tonio, Alice and Alicia, Alicia being the adult of the group whilst Tonio and Alice were both around the same age as Ash, Gary and Emerald, Alicia being older than professor Oak, and the grandmother of Alice.

Alicia had decided to play some Oración which the pokemon the gang had out made them totally relaxed as it has the ability to calm any pokemon, after the song had finished she stated that she did not mind teaching the children to play the song so it was decided for them to come back tomorrow and learn to play the song.

The next day the gang headed off to Alicia's place to learn the Oración, Whilst Gary, Emerald and Ashlynn were learning Oración, Riley, Volkner and Flint were out getting some supplies together and also getting some for Ash, Gary and Emerald as well, and the adults were all relaxing in a local spa area.

Alicia provided food for Ashlynn, Emerald and Gary whilst the others got food near where their activities for the day were.

Learning the Oración was taking a bit of time, but Alicia thought that they would have most of it down if not enough to continue on their own by the end of the day.

Several hours later the gang had actually managed to learn most of the Oración song, they still had a little bit left to learn but by the end of the day they were able to learn the song and now was just to practice it to get it perfect.

After leaving Alicia's house the gang met up with their parents as well as Volkner, Riley and Flint, went to have some food before heading back to the hotel, to plan what they were going to do the next day.

The next day the gang all decided they were going to on the outskirts of the city in the surrounding forest for a picnic, the gang all allowed their pokemon out whilst they were having a picnic but they had also invited Alicia, Alice and Tonio.

After the picnic Ash, Gary, Emerald with Riley, Flint, Volkner and Alice and Tonio left to explore the woods a bit, they split into teams of 2, Ash and Volkner went together, Gary and Riley with Emerald and Flint, and of course Alice and Tonio joined teams together, they decided they would meet up at the edge of the woods in about 2 hours time, whilst the rest of the adults were just chilling at the lakeside near the forest edge, Ash and Volkner decided they would head south east into the forest to have a look around there, Volkner and ash chatted about different things like is she still looking forward to starting her journey and does she know what region she would like to start in, which she stated that yes she was still excited and looking forward to when she can finally start her journey and she stated that she will also travel her home region first before going onto others, but eventually she will go to all known regions. Whilst they were walking they had heard a noise like someone was crying, so heading off to the direction to where the noise was they saw 2 pokemon tied up, bruised and tired and hungry looking.

Ash was alarmed and quickly went into her bag pack and got out some pokemon food and some berries and potions to help heal the pokemon, Volkner stayed back and watched Ash work amazed, as never in his life has he seen such a person who cares so much about any type of pokemon.

As Ash got closer to the pokemon she noticed that one was a Budew and the other was a Shinx, she made herself look as nonthreatening as possible to get closer to the pokemon without them flinching with fear or looking like they would attack, once she had got to them, she put down the pokemon food with the mashed up berries in and gave a bowl each to the pokemon, when they were eating, Ash cut the rope off them, and was saying to them that she was just going to heal the wounds with the potion but there will be a slight sting and let both let her know that it was fire in poke speech which she could understand, so whilst they were eating, Ashlynn began to clean up the wounds with her potion, once done, they looked alot better, still slightly skinny due to not being fed in over a week but now they are free from the rope they will be able to feed themselves, but unknown to Ash, they both had a different idea and decided they liked the kind human female and wanted to join her as her pokemon, so when Ash got up to leave them they both ran up to her and started chattering and Ash went wide eyed and asked them if they were sure? Are you really sure that you want to become my pokemon? They both answered yes, so Ash captured them.

Once she had captured them, she allowed them out of the pokéballs and asked if they wanted nicknames which both stated they did, so Ash asked Budew if she liked the nickname Mielikki, which ash explained that she was a Finnish goddess of the forests and the hunt which Budew agreed to, and then Ash turned to Shinx and asked if he would liked to be called Raijin which Ash explained is the god of thunder, lightning and storms in the Shinto Religion, which he agreed to and so both had their new nicknames, after that ash then explained due to her being able to use Aura she would like to perform an aura bond with them both, which they both accepted straight away as well, after all that was done, Ash and Volkner realized the time and it was time to head back to the meeting point, as it was now nearing Dinner time.

Ash decided she would let her two new pokemon out when they were walking back to the meeting point; she had her Budew in her arms whilst her Shinx was walking on her right side, whilst Volkner was walking beside ash on her left side.

Once they had gotten to the meeting point Ash introduced Budew and Shinx to the rest of the gang before heading off to where the adults were and then introducing them both again to her parents the rest of the adults.

The next day Ash set up the training routine for her new captures.

For Shinx he will be learning the following moves: - Endure, helping hand, shock wave, snore and toxic.
For Budew she will be learning the following moves: - Covet, endure, snore, synthesis, worry seed and cut.

Ash explained to both pokemon that if they struggle they can go to the other pokemon who have most than likely have learnt the move they are learning so they could help but if not to always go to her and she will try and help in any way possible, even if it is explaining a move as if they are a simpleton.

After explaining and setting up their new routines for their pokemon, they noticed that they only had one more day left in the city before heading off to Celestial Town, where Flint said that they would be meeting up with the rest of the Elite Four as well as the champion herself Cynthia.

The next day, the gang all got up around 7am was going to meet up with Alice, Alicia and Tonio for some breakfast at 8am, and then leave to start to go towards Celestial Town around 9:30am.

So whilst the gang were waiting for 8 O'clock to come around they started to pack up their things and get everything ready to leave after they have met up with Alicia, Alice and Tonio before heading off.

8 O'clock came around and they all left the hotel, met up with the others before heading to a little cafe near the time and space towers, to have some breakfast, Alicia, Alice and Tonio asked where they were going next and what other cities / towns are they planning on visiting whilst in Sinnoh, so they told them they were heading to Celestial Town for the next week before going to Snowpoint City, then afterwards they were going to Sunyshore City, Michina Town and finally to the Resort Area they have heard of.

After breakfast, the gang went back to the hotel to pick up their bags/ luggage and then booked out of the hotel, they then met up again with Alicia, Alice and Tonio getting ready to say bye to them, but not before exchanging contact details with one another so they can keep in touch, which made Ashlynn, Gary, Emerald, Tonio and Alice happy that they would not loose contact with one another after becoming fast friends.

The gang let out the pokemon they were going to fly on, Ash still pared up with Riley, Gary with his grandfather and Emerald with Flint and off they went and headed towards Celestial Town. They had worked out that it would take in total 8 hours to fly there so they were going to stop half way and have some lunch which Delia had already made and put them in an accessible bag which she has on her with several blankets for them to sit on.

After flying several hours the gang stopped on Route 208 to have some food, Delia and the rest of the adult females set up whilst the males got some fire wood together and some water and other things to help out, whilst Ashlynn, Gary, Emerald, Riley, Volkner and Flint walked around the area, as food wasn't going to be ready for another half hour to forty-five minutes the gang decided to see if there were any pokemon around they could catch, Ash had found a Buneary and decided she wanted the little pokemon as it was cute in her eyes, and just couldn't help herself, Gary had found a Aipom and decided he wanted to capture it and Emerald found a Cherubi whom she wanted to capture, so each sent out a pokemon and challenged the pokemon, Ash sent out Athena the Ralts (F) to battle Buneary, Gary had sent out his Spearow and Emerald send out her Eevee the battles were over quite quickly and each gained a new pokemon on their team.

They all headed back to where the Picnic was being set up, and then let out their new pokemon, Ash walked up to her new Buneary asked if the pokemon was a male or a female, Buneary confirmed that she is a female, then Ash asked her if she would like a nickname, which she did, so Ash gave her the nickname Aphrodite which Buneary loved. After nicknaming her new pokemon Ash then told her new pokemon she will be doing an Aura bond with her, which shocked the pokemon as she knew there were not alot of aura users out there but then she got exited due to the fact that HER trainer is Special.

Ash had done the aura bond and now was setting up her training, Ash gave Buneary her new moves to learn which the following are: - After you, covert, endeavour, endure, heal bell and helping hand.

After giving Buneary her new moves Ashlynn, Gary, Emerald, Riley, Volkner and Flint joined the rest of the Adults on the blankets and sat down for some food.

After eating the gang all packed up and started to fly again to get to Celestial Town, after another couple of hours flight they finally landed in Celestial Town, the gang quickly went to the only hotel in the place and booked 6 rooms, 3 family rooms, 2 doubles and a single room, after that they decided to chill out in the hotel for a bit before going down and having some Dinner.

Flint had talked to them and told them they were going to meet up with Cynthia, Aaron, Bertha and Lucian tomorrow, also he let them know that Cynthia's grandmother would be there as well.

After having dinner the gang all went up to their hotel rooms, and just spent some time with each of their families whilst Flint, Volkner and Riley went out Flint went to meet up with Cynthia and the rest of the Elite four to let them know they have arrived and Volkner and Riley just chilled out at the bar in the hotel.

The next day everyone woke up at around 8am, as they were meeting up with Cynthia, Aaron, Bertha and Lucian at 9am in the morning and spending the full day with them.

After showing and getting dressed everyone made their way down to the lobby of the hotel to meet up with each other before following Flint to where they were meeting up with the Elite four and the Champion.

The gang followed Flint to a cute little Cafe which was about a 15 minute walk from the hotel they were staying at. Once they had arrived there Flint quickly introduced everyone to Cynthia, Cynthia's grandmother Professor Carolina Aaron, Bertha and Lucian, then Ashlynn and group introduced themselves afterwards.

Once they had introduced themselves they went into the Cafe to have some breakfast, Ash found herself sitting next to Lucian and Cynthia, Aaron was sat near her parents, Bertha was sat near Professor Oak as was Cynthia's grandmother Professor Carolina, Flint was sat next to Riley and Gary, and Volkner was sat next to Gary's Parents who were sat next to Emerald and she sat next to her parents.

Soon they all ordered what they would like for Breakfast and Ashlynn found herself in a conversation with Lucian and Cynthia, they were talking about all sorts of things like what type of pokemon they like best although both Cynthia and Ash doesn't really have a favourite type but Ash stated that she just loved all types of pokemon even those who are misunderstood and ended up with bad reputation like Gyarados, or even pokemon people generally belittle due to the fact that they find them useless like Magikarp and Feebas, Lucian stated that he liked alot of different pokemon but he did love and prefer Physic type pokemon, he feels that he can connect to them better than other types, but he does have other types of pokemon but his main team are purely physic or has the physic type with a secondary typing or the physic type is the secondary typing.

They then started to talk about the pokemon they had on them, Cynthia stated she had her Dragon type pokemon Garchomp, her Aura pokemon Lucario and her Sea Slug pokemon Gastrodon Lucian stated he had his Alakazam on him plus his Mr. Mime and his Girafarig. Ash then stated she had on her currently Thor who is her Pichu, Riolu, a Male and Female Ralts that are Called Ares and Athena, her shiny charmander that is called Amaterasu, her Elekid Called Indra, her Magby Called Hephaestus, her Eevee, Hoppip, Dratini her Pidgey which is nicknamed Aurae, her Poocheyna called Nox, her Igglybuff called Luna, her Cleffa called Minerva and her most recent captures her Shinx called Raijin, a Budew called Mielikki but Mie for short and finally her Buneary called Aphrodite .

Cynthia and Lucian were surprised that she had so many of her pokemon on her, but Ashlynn did state she had more at Professor Oak's Corral, which then got into the discussion of what other pokemon she and the others had.

Cynthia talked about her main team but also her other pokemon which she had of course her main team which is what she users for championship battles consisted of her Garchomp, Gastrodon, Lucario, Togakiss, Spiritomb,

Roserade and her Milotic, Cynthia then stated that she does swap out her Togakiss and Roserade so if Roserade isn't in her team then its Togakiss and if it's not Togakiss then it's generally Roserade.

Cynthia also told them about other pokemon she has, which is her Torterra which was her starter that she got from Professor Rowan when she left on her journey, whilst her Garchomp was her unofficial starter like Ashlynn with her Pichu Thor, whom she got from her grandmother, she has a Staraptor, a Glaceon, a Rampardos, a Gallade and a Gardevoir, a Leafeon, a Altaria, an Absol and finally a Gorebyss.

Lucian went next told her about his main team which consisted of Alakazam, Mr. Mime, Girafarig, Medicham, Bronzong, he also stated that he got two other pokemon that battles for his main team which he switches out, who are Espeon and Gallade. His other pokemon that he owns are an Empoleon, which was his official starter from Professor Rowan, a Staraptor, a Luxray, a Floatzel, a Gardevoir and finally an Abomasnow.

Ash then listed all of her pokemon that they didn't know of already which consisted of her Spearow called Ace, her shiny Magikarp called Tiamat, a Rattata, a Houndour called Hades, a shiny smeargle, a Horsea called Coventina, a Deino called Mars, a shiny Beldum, a Feebas called Venus, a Vulpix called Kurama, a Porygon, a Pinsir and a scyther.

Once she had finished listing all her pokemon which amazed Cynthia and Lucian again the conversation just drifted onto other things like is she getting excited to go on her journey as that will be in a couple of years time as she was now 13 years old.

They had kept talking til it was time to leave the Cafe, they were going to head to Professor Carolina's house next, where they were all going to get to know one another better, Agatha, Professor Carolina, Professor Oak, Ash's Parents (Delia & Red) Emeralds Parents (Green & Silver) and Gary's Parents (Yellow & Blue) were going to spend some time together whilst Ashlynn, Gary, Emerald, Flint, Volkner, Riley, Cynthia, Aaron and Lucian would also spend some time together.

The adults decided that they would go instead of Professor Carolina's house and just talk there whilst the teenagers / young adults / adult (In Cynthia's case) decided to use Cynthia's Grandmothers back garden (Back yard for you Americans :p).

Once they got to the back garden they all let out their pokemon, each of Ashlynn's decided they didn't want to be anywhere else expect for practically on top of her, all attached to some part of her body somehow, whether they were on her shoulders, or head, or laying against her back, on her lap, curled up to her feet, they all were somehow touching some part of her, which made quiet a cute picture. Riley, Volkner and Flint were amazed at how strong looking her Elekid, Riolu and her Magby that they each had gave her looked now, but they still loved to just cuddle up to her, even though they have been with her the longest out of most of her pokemon except for Pichu, Charmander, Hoppip, Dratini and Eevee.

Cynthia noticing how strong most of Ashlynn's pokemon were asked a very interesting question, she had asked why haven't they evolved yet, Ash looked up at Cynthia and smiled and stated that each pokemon does not want to evolve until they have learnt all they can in that stage they are in, only when there is no more they can learn will they evolve, someone of them even said they do not want to evolve until she is on her actual journey as a celebration and to show off their bond.

Cynthia then asked how is it that the pokemon do not disobey you? I can tell that they are quite high levelled and normally if a person does not have badges they disobey that trainer, and Ashlynn once again smiled and said it is because of my bond with each and every one of my pokemon, I make sure i spend time with all of them, whether it is like what I am doing now just relaxing and having a cuddle with them all, or whether it is one to one training, or even just grooming them, I always make sure I bond with them no matter what, and they respect me because of that, to me Pokemon are not tools to be used to be thrown away discarded when they have lost the appeal if they have lost a match, they are friends / family members that stick with you through thick and thin, through wins and losses, and that is why I do not need badges for my pokemon to "Obey" me, they choose to listen to me, because they know I will never hurt or abandon them.

Cynthia then states so because they respect you they do not disobey you, that I can understand, you have spent quite alot of time with all of your pokemon, but what about your newest captures? Ones you haven't spent so much time with?

Ash looks at her most recent captures and says it is because of a number of different things,

1. Some feel indebted towards me, I might of saved them from a situation where they have been with a previous trainer and gotten released from said trainer but also have been abused,

2. Due to my aura, I perform Aura bonds with all my pokemon, thus enabling me to actually communicate with my pokemon, but also they feel at ease knowing that an Aura user is a person that is a guardian, they protect the pokemon of the planet not harm them and finally,

3. I prove that in a pokemon battle I can command my pokemon with ease and still have them take hardly any damage and due to that if I have fought a pokemon to capture them, I have earned the right of said Capture by defeat, which then goes around to them then respecting me, and after Ashlynn finished her statements each of her pokemon on hand all called out their names in agreement to what she had said.

Cynthia was impressed with how Ashlynn thought and stated as much, and was impressed by the loyalty her pokemon showed her, Ash just stated that it was nothing, she trained for this so when her journey comes around she will be more prepared, Volkner, Flint and Riley just beamed at her, proud of the young lady she has become, Aaron and Lucian were just as impressed as Cynthia, and also stated so to Ash which she just thanked them for but shrugging saying that's really nothing.

For the next few hours they all just relaxed in the back garden talked about everyday life, Cynthia also talked about her Championship matches and the thrill she gets from battling the strong trainers that are able to pass the elite four to actually challenge, each trainer she faces makes her work that bit harder to keep her title of champion but then it is all about learning from the experience anyways.

After spending several hours in the back garden it was time for Lunch, Delia had already planned ahead and had popped to the shops whilst the other adults were talking and Ashlynn and the rest were in the back garden, she had bought several different meats and some vegetarian food, some sandwiches fillers such as Tuna Mayo, Egg Mayo, Chicken Mayo, Ham and Mustard and Cheese Sandwiches, she had also got things like corned beef pastries, mincemeat and onion pastries, plus a numerous of other things as well, to set up a Picnic / BBQ to have for everyone.

After having food everyone just chilled out together all getting to know one another, they had decided to meet up again tomorrow, but this time Professor Carolina had stated she was going to tell them a story of the Sinnoh legends, which got the attention of everyone there that hasn't heard the story before so practically the whole group other than those originally from Sinnoh to begin with.

Once the gang got back to the hotel they all went up to Ashlynn's and her Parents room and chilled out there, they split into two groups and decided to play different types of games and card games to pass the time before going down to the buffet area to have Dinner. After dinner the gang went into their separate rooms and just chilled out for the night before heading to bed.

The next day the gang all got up at 8am again ready to meet up with the others at 9am to have breakfast again but this time they were going to eat at the restaurant inside the hotel, as its free for the people who are staying in the hotel but others have to pay for the meal but it does not cost much. Once everyone was ready and met up with the others in lobby of the hotel they headed on to where the restaurant is and got ready to order, this time Ashlynn was sat next to Riley and Aaron.

Riley and Ashlynn were talking about their aura training, and how that Riley believes that soon Ashlynn can become a full fledge aura guardian and not just a trainee, Aaron was now and again asking them questions about what does Aura training entitle and can anyone learn how to use Aura and other questions similar to that nature.

Riley stated that he thinks by the time Ashlynn is ready to go on her journey she would have completed the aura guardian training to become a full fledged member, with the rate she is currently going with her studies and training.

The waitress arrived then so the conversation naturally died down as they have to order their food, but after ordering their food the conversation went onto different things such as pokemon training, and what type of pokemon is she hoping to capture in the future and things like that.

After breakfast the whole gang went back to Professor Carolina's house and was out in the back garden again, but this time it was due to the telling of the Sinnoh Legends.

Carolina began "A long time ago, when really Sinnoh had just been made, the creatures we now know as pokemon and we as humans lived very separate lives unlike today where we are friends with them, some train them to battle some to contents some just for a companion for the household they live in, some to keep their gardens nice ect, but even back then, just because they lived separate lives it is not to say they did not help one another, but in actual fact they indeed did, they had supplied each other with goods and supported each other. One such pokemon proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans, it asked that pokemon be ready to appear before humans for all times. As of now to this day, pokemon appear to us if we venture into tall grass." This is now known as the Sinnoh Region Myth, I will tell you each myth of the Sinnoh legends and of the region that will apply for you guys.

The next myth I will tell you is the Original Story about the creation of the pokemon world, it goes like this Professor Carolina stated. "In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos. At the heart of chaos, where tall things became one, appeared an Egg. Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the Original One. From itself, three beings the Original One did make. Time began to spin. Space began to expand. From itself again, three living things the Original One did make. The two beings wished, and from them, matter came to be. The three living things wished, and from them Spirit came to be. The world created, the Original One took to unyielding sleep."

The next myth I will now tell you all about is the Sinnoh Myth, which is a myth that refers to the Lake Guardians that are known as Mesprit, Uxie and Azelf. Professor Carolina then continued with the final Sinnoh Myth "Three pokemon there were. Into the lakes they dove. Deeper, deeper, drawing no breath. Deeper, deeper they dove. Into suffocating depths they dove. Deeper than deepest they alight. From the lake floor they rise. Bearing with them the power to make vast lands, they rise again."

After saying the final Myth, Professor Carolina went into explaining about all the different Sinnoh legendaries, she had stated that the Original One is known to us as Arceus the God Pokemon, the three beings he created first were the ones known to us as Palkia, Diagla and Giratina, then the three ones he created afterwards were the Lake Guardians also known as Mesprit, Uxie and Azelf. Carolina then said that Sinnoh had many other legendary pokemon that are known as well such as the Lunar duo, Darkrai and Cresselia, then you have the sea guardians such as Manaphy and Phione, you also have Heatran, Regigigas, and finally Shaymin.

Ashlynn then stated she knew about the legendaries of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn, such as Mew, (Mewtwo doesn't exist yet) Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, Entei, Suicune, Raikou, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Celebi, Latios, Latias, Regirock, Registeel, Regice, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Jirachi and Deoxys. Ash then stated that in Kanto they are told that Mew is the creator of all pokemon, due to the fact that the pokemon has the DNA of every pokemon known and then even some that are unknown, and can learn every single type of attack expect for maybe the legendaries signature moves like Ho-Oh with sacred Fire, Lugia with Aero Blast ect.

After exchanging different stories about the legendaries for a couple of hours it was now lunch time, Delia with the help of Carolina, Yellow and Green started to prepare the picnic for them to have.

Delia had also noticed that her little girl although not that little any more considering she's a teenager, kept getting a blush whenever Aaron or Lucian would speak with her, which made her giggle as it seems her daughter is now getting her first crush on people.

Riley, Volkner and Flint had also noticed this, and decided to tease the girl, which had made her huff at them, afterwards Delia decided that she would speak with Ash and just explain that it is perfectly natural to gain crushes on people at her age.

After food Delia did have that conversation with Ash which embarrassed her much to her mother's amusement.

For the next couple of days the adults of the group with Carolina and Bertha had spent time with one another like Ashlynn and her lot with Cynthia and her lot had also spent more time with one another, Ash even making a friend within Cynthia, as well as Lucian and Aaron, they did all sorts of different activities together, even trained their pokemon together and even themselves, they also watched Ashlynn and Riley spar with their aura, and also train with it and meditate.

Finally came to the last night of being in Celestial Town before they were going to move on to the next place to visit which is Snowpoint City.

The gang had decided they were going to start to head to Snowpoint City in the morning around 10am, as it will take a few hours to fly there. They had decided to have breakfast together one last time before heading off.

As it was on the final night the gang all went to a fancier restaurant with Cynthia saying she will pay for their meals as a gift to them from herself, but she also stated she had gifts for Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald as well. Aaron and Lucian also stated that each of them had gifts for the three of them.

Lucian gave them books about how to raise a physic type pokemon, as well as how to use physic powers, he had also gave them a pokéball each and stated that the pokemon in the pokéballs are all pokemon that had hatched from his own team, with that they opened their balls, Ash noticed she had an Abra, whilst Gary and Emerald both had a ralts each, Gary's one was a male whilst Emeralds one was a female, they all thanked him for his gifts with Ashlynn also giving him a hug.

Aaron then went next and gave them also a book on how to raise bug types, he said that even though bug types have the name of being one of the weakest typing out there, there are ways of making them alot stronger than normal, and then he gave them each a pokéball as well, Ash released her pokemon and noticed it was a Skorupi, whilst Gary and Emerald was a Combee each for them, which both were female, so they were able to evolve into Vespiquen, once again they all thanked him for the gifts with Ash giving him a hug as well.

Cynthia of course went last, she had bought them a booklet with information on all known legendaries currently from their home region of Kanto all the way to Kalos, she had also gave them different items that will help boost their pokemon's attacks as well as different vitamins and medicine, she had also giving them around 30,000 pokedollars each to help them on their way for when they do start on their journey. Ashlynn and co again thanked her for her gifts with them all giving her a hug.

Afterwards it was time for bed, Ash decided that she would set up a training regime with her new pokemon in the morning, before heading off to Snowpoint City.

The next morning, they had all awoken at 7am, they started to pack their stuff away and then get ready to meet up with Cynthia, Aaron, Bertha, Lucian and Professor Carolina for breakfast then also to say their goodbyes before heading off.

Ash had packed her items quite quickly so she let out her Abra and Skorupi, asked if they wanted a nickname both had replied in the negative to a nickname, then Ash stated that she would like to perform an aura bond with each of them and where they okay with that which they both got wide eyed at this and nodded majorly, so she then preformed the aura bonds with them. After doing the aura bonds with her new pokemon, she set up their training regime as well as the moves they will be learning.

Abra: - Endure, gravity, knock off, magic coat, magic room and recycle.
Skorupi: - Endure, knock off, snore, cut, rock smash and toxic.

After she gave them their training regime and new moves, she returned them to their pokéballs and then finished getting ready.

It was now time to meet up with everyone downstairs for breakfast; they all grabbed their bags and headed to meet everyone. Once downstairs they headed off to the little cafe that they had breakfast the first morning they were in Celestial town.

Once they arrived at the cafe they all sat down and ordered food, conversation was about where they were headed off to next which they stated they were heading to Snowpoint City.

Flint was not looking forward gong to Snowpoint City due to it being too cold for his fiery personality and his fire type pokemon which made them all laugh, and said that his pokemon would be able to keep him warm.

After breakfast it was time to head off to Snowpoint City, Red and Blue had worked out that it would take roughly 4 hours to fly there from Celestial Town.

So after they left the Cafe they had all gathered their bags, said their goodbyes and that they would keep in contact with the rest of them before letting out the flying pokemon they were going on to head to Snowpoint City.

Once they had arrived at Snowpoint they headed off to a restaurant to have some Lunch before heading off to find the hotel they pre-booked at.

Once they arrived at the hotel they all booked in and then went off to their rooms they had booked to unpack for the week, they were going to stay at Snowpoint city for several days before heading on to another place.

Once they were in Snowpoint City they had looked at different places they could go to whilst they were in the City.

They decided that the youngster were going to go to the Snowpoint trainer's school for 2 days and then after that they will visit the Snowpoint temple but on the last day they will be just relaxing before they head off to Sunyshore City.

Ashlynn, Emerald and Gary went to the Snowpoint trainer's school and when they got there they found out that the teacher there Candice was also the gym leader of Snowpoint City. After introducing themselves Candice told them that the purpose of the school was to get young people whom are interested in travelling and capturing pokemon or older people who have travelled some and got pokemon but something disturbed their travels further along and stopped travelling, to be ready to travel again or ready to travel, they would be learning different battle strategies, how to care for their pokemon, how to make pokemon food, and other treats for them, although Ash, Gary and Emerald already knew all this, it wouldn't hurt to have different ways of doing things, so they sat down and listened to the lectures and studies for the next two days.

After two days of the school it was finally time to go to the Snowpoint Temple, they had met up with Maria who is the temple guardian, who was also going to show them around and tell them the story of the temple.

Maria told them that the temple is said to be home to a legendary pokemon, as you go further into the caves right to the bottom to the cavern before the door you will see some pictures which look like the three regi's from Hoenn, (Regice, Regirock & Registeel) but also another pokemon that is similar to the three regi's which is called Regigigas which they believe that is the pokemon that has made its home in the temple, but they also know that the other three regi's have something to do with being able to see Regigigas, but as they don't have them, they never know the truth if it is there or not.

After the tour the gang decided to head back to the hotel, and have some food, before relaxing the rest of the time.

The next day they were going to head to Sunyshore City, which Volkner was excited about due to the fact it was his home town.

The next day the gang all got up at 9am, had breakfast in the hotel before packing up their stuff and clocking out of the hotel, before heading off to Sunyshore City which by flying will take about 3 hours from Snowpoint City.

After setting off and flying for three hours the gang had arrived at Sunyshore City, Volkner had already stated before that they can stay with him in the house that is attached to the gym as there will still be plenty of space, so they didn't have to pay for hotel fares ect, as Volkner was going to allow them to stay at his place, Delia, Yellow and Green decided that they would do a food shop and instead of eating out all the time like they have been they could do Home Made Meals for a change instead but still go out maybe 2 this week, one in an evening and the other on the morning they leave before going to the Resort Area which is only accessible via boat.

As Sunyshore City is a port city the boat they will go on to head to the Resort Area can be caught from the City they do not need to travel elsewhere first.

So whilst Delia, Yellow and Green were shopping, Professor Oak, Red, Blue and Silver were looking around the gym, whilst Volkner, Flint, Riley, Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald were all chilled out in the lounge area of Volkner's house, Volkner explained there weren't much to do but, they could go and see different ships that are ported here as well as to see the Sunyshore City Lighthouse, but they also have a beach which was not far from the Gym which they could just chill out.

So for the next couple of days the pokemon gym for training, relaxed at the beach, or inside the house or visited the ports to see the different ships and visited the lighthouse, the ships they saw at the port were the S.S Sinnoh which ferries from Snowpoint City to Sunyshore City to final the Fight Area, the other boats where just show boats that were of famous ones that have sunk or been destroyed somehow such as the S.S Cussler who hit an iceberg and sank.

The days went quickly and before they knew it the gang had been in Sunyshore for a week and it was now time to catch the ferry to head to the Resort Area.

On the day they were to leave for the Resort Area, the gang all woke up at 8am, packed up their stuff before going out to have breakfast; they then got their stuff from Volkner's house before heading off to the ports where the boat awaited them to head off to the Resort Area.

Whilst on the boat there were different things that could be done, different stalls to buy from ect, as the boat trip will actually take 8 hours, they will have Lunch on the ship but will have Tea (Dinner) at the resort area.

After 8 long hours they had finally arrived at the resort area. Once they had got there they quickly found their villa they were given to stay in, in their villa, they had found they had their own pool, spa area, a hot tub (Jacuzzi) and a Sauna.

The Resort Area was just a peaceful town, with hardly any disturbances and had finished their holiday off very nicely, not worrying about anything and just relax, the youngsters had fun activities they could do, but also can relax themselves with their pokemon, in total they had spent two weeks with them before it was finally time to head back to Twinleaf town, they were going to head back to Sunyshore City before then flying back to Twinleaf Town.

So 8 hours later on the boat to get to Sunyshore City they had finally arrived, even though Volkner is from this town and his gym is here he is still heading with the others to say goodbye to them, they decided that they would start the rest of the journey tomorrow as it was getting late now, and it would take a good 8 hours in total to fly to Twinleaf Town from Sunyshore City.

So once again Volkner allowed them to stay at his place, so the next morning they were all up at 7am had breakfast and was ready to go, they decided they would stop half away have some food, then continue on and have their Tea (Dinner) when they got to Twinleaf Town.

8 hours later they had finally arrived at Twinleaf Town only stopping the once for their food, they decided to eat a quiet little Cafe which was not far from the Professor's Lab as their ship did not leave for Kanto til 7pm and it was only just gone 3pm now, so they rested for a bit chatted, when it was 5:30pm the gang started to make their way back to the port to go back home, they had all check-in first before boarding, so once they had checked in they then said their goodbyes to Volkner, Flint and Riley, each of the males giving Ashlynn a hug but Riley and Volkner also gave her a peck on the cheek which made her embarrassed which the three males plus her mum noticed.

After saying goodbye to the three of them, they separated, the gang all heading to board the boat whilst the other three heading outside to fly back to each of their home towns / islands (In Riley's Case).

1 hour later the Ship leaves the port and they were on their way back to Kanto, Ashlynn during this time was having some flashbacks of fun moments but also noticing her slight crushes on certain people.

A week later they were finally back in Kanto, they were going to head home straight away, to Pallet Town which would only take 2 – 3 hours flying, so off they went back home.

Once they arrived home, all the families spilt up and said their goodbyes to one another, so they all went back to their homes to unpack from their holidays and sort out their laundry and everything else that would need to be sorted before just relaxing at home.

Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald were wondering where they would be going next year for Holiday, they can only hope that it was as good as this years one.

AN –

Finally done, yay! Taking me alot longer than expected, hopefully the next chapter will be out in the next couple of days, fingers crossed things go well with me being able to write more than ever.
