Before any of you say anything about Giovanni still being here, this is slightly AU from the anime.
Jason sat at the conference table awaiting the other Gym Leaders. The tournament had lasted three days ending with Jason beating out Sinnoh's Maylene and her Lucario. Jason had used his father in the battle. The battle lasted for almost an hour with both Pokémon trading blow of equal force. The battle ended with both Lucien and Maylene's Lucario charging at each other, Aura Spheres in hand. The resulting explosion sent both Pokémon flying backwards. The match was almost sent into a second stage until Lucien shakily stood up, panting from the exertion.
There had been a break the next day, giving the Gym Leader's time to rest up. Jason had awoken that morning to the smell of a home cooked meal, their apartment being large enough to accommodate Jason, Allie, and all of their Pokémon, it came complete with a full kitchen. Abby and the girls had woken up to start the prep of what turned out to be the best meal Jason had had in a long time. Later that day, Steven stopped by to give him a folder that contained the subject of the meeting. After Steven left, Jason opened the folder to look at the subject.
Written on the piece of paper were the words, "It's your secret, handle it how you will."
Jason shut the folder and sat down on the edge of the bed, "That must be why Mom told him."
Abby picked up the folder and looked at it, her eyes going wide. She looked to Jason, handing the folder to Allie, "So what are you going to do?"
Jason sighed, "I'll have to find a way around the subject of myself and the others. Shouldn't be too hard." He rubbed his head, "Why can life not be simple."
April looked up at Jason, Jason, you need to calm down or else… She didn't get a chance to finish as Jason's body began to glow brightly. There was a flash. When the light faded Jason sat in his Lucario form.
Jason looked at his hands and sighed, "And of course this doesn't make things any easier."
April walked over to Jason, Don't worry, we'll have this fixed before the meeting. In the meantime, she looked over to the girls, why don't ya'll go down to the market and get something for dinner. I'll find a way to relax Jason.
Abby raised an eyebrow, "Don't wear him out to much. Let's go girls."
Jason was snapped back to the present by the door opening. In walked the other thirty-nine Gym Leaders. They sat at the massive conference table, each region having a certain section allotted to them. Jason was seated at the head position with the other seven of Hoenn's Gym Leaders to his right. To the right of them was, Sinnoh, followed by Kanto, Unova, and ending with Johto to Jason's left.
Jason let his eyes scan over the crowd, his eyes stopping to meet Sabrina's. Jason suddenly remembered something about Saffron's Gym Leader—she had Psychic abilities like her Pokémon. From the look in her eyes, Jason knew she had already been in his mind and knew what he was hiding. To her credit, she kept quiet.
"Well," Giovanni said, drawing Jason's attention to Viridian's Gym Leader, "are we gonna get started any time soon?"
Jason nodded, "I suppose we should start, seeing as everyone is here." He looked down at the table, trying to figure out how to start. "You're all familiar with the League's decision regarding Poképhilia." This started a bunch of grumbling. Jason allowed this to die down before continuing, "This meeting is more about the possible results of it."
"What kind of results are we talking about, Jason?" Misty asked.
Jason looked up at everyone, "Children."
The room was silent for a moment. No one was really sure what to say about this.
Finally, Flannery spoke up, "Is such a thing possible?"
Jason shrugged, "I don't know. Although, if legends hold true, it's a plausible scenario."
"Which legends?" Morty asked. Jason remembered that Ekruteak City's Gym Leader was one authority on Pokémon Mythology.
"The one's concerning the creation of humans." Jason got up and walked over to one of the paintings on the wall. The painting depicted Sinnoh's Lake Spirits granting humankind willpower, knowledge, and emotions. "According to legend, Arceus saw that the Pokémon of the world needed someone who could watch over and befriend them. She created Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit to accomplish this job. The only problem—they weren't given anything new to work with. They had no powers of creation themselves and so were forced to turn a Pokémon into a human, stripping it of its powers. Now, once this was accomplished, the Lake Spirits, as they've come to be known, granted the human their respective representations, they showed him to Arceus. Arceus liked what she saw and asked them to design a female. This goal was accomplished in the same way and Arceus approved of her. Using her great powers, Arceus took the Pokémon that the Spirits had chosen and turned them all into humans." Jason turned back to face the group, "If this legend holds true, and we assume that they left in the genetics that allow for species to breed, and possibly even mutated that gene so that it's possible across every species of Pokémon, then we can consider hybrid children a possibility."
The room was silent for some time before Cilan spoke up, "I have to say, this theory seems rather well thought out, much like a well planned recipe with specific ingredients that fall into place."
Maylene was the next to speak, "Ok, so let's assume hybrids are able to exist. What do we do about it? Will they appear human? Will they look like the parent Pokémon? Or will they be a mix of both?"
"Not to mention the powers that they might possess," Blaine said.
For the next hour, the group of Gym Leaders began to talk about what should be done. Giovanni thought that they should be forced to register their existence. Brock shot this down saying that it wouldn't work because people would be afraid to have their child registered and labeled as some sort of monster. Most of them agreed a blood sample from the first hybrid would be needed if such an event occurred.
Cheren, Unova's newest Gym Leader, looked over to Sabrina, "You know, I've heard of people having strange abilities, usually gained at birth or through training with Pokémon. Take Sabrina here; she has Psychic abilities. And if were using legends as evidence, then let us not forget about the Aura Guardians of the past."
"Those legends have been proven true," Jason chimed in.
Cheren acknowledged this, "My point exactly. People with similar abilities to Pokémon have been recorded throughout history. I say simply let them be. If they wish to reveal themselves, then let them. If not, then there's nothing we can do about it." Everyone agreed to this…save Giovanni. But with the majority decision made, hybrids would be free to live normal lives.
Jason sighed on the inside. He had gotten away with not telling anyone about him being a hybrid…or so he thought.
"I must say Jason," Sabrina said, "you appear to be somewhat relieved by this decision." Jason looked at her as she spoke. "I guess this shouldn't come as a surprise considering who your father is."
Jason's eyes narrowed, "That's a nasty little habit you have Sabrina. It's best you stay out of my mind."
"Really? I can understand you wanting to protect yourself and your unborn child but…" Sabrina suddenly grabbed her head in pain.
"I told you to stay out of my mind," Jason said, his eyes glowing bright blue.
Cheren backed away, "That's the Aura. But I thought it was a Fighting element."
Jason looked to him, "Go through the training I did and you'd be able to take down a Psychic as well." Jason stood up and walked around, "I suppose now that I've been forced to reveal this little skill of mine, I may as well tell you that I'm one of the hybrids we've been discussing for the past hour or so. Lucien, the Lucario that I used in the tournament, is my father. As to the unborn child, Abby, my Lopunny, is pregnant with my child." He turned to look at the group, "I will do anything to protect them, including killing anyone who tries to take them from me. If you want a blood sample, then take it from me."
Iris stood up, "Jason, calm down. None of us are going to take your girls from you."
Everyone turned when Giovanni started laughing, "This is all a nice little display, but how can we be expected to believe that you are, in fact, part Lucario? After all, you do appear human."
Jason shrugged, "Believe what you will, Giovanni. I know my heritage."
"Actually," Clay said, "Giovanni has a point. How do we not know that this isn't some cover up of you being an Aura Guardian?"
Jason sighed, "I can't make you believe me, but…" Before he could finish, a loud explosion rocked the city. Everyone rushed out of the room, Jason's speech forgotten.
When they got outside, the Gym Leaders saw a large airship with a red letter R emblazoned on the side. Hanging from the bottom of the airship were several metallic arms. Although most of the Gym Leaders couldn't make out what was held, Jason recognized the Auras of some of the Gym Leaders Pokémon, including his girls.
Jason's fury was uncontainable at this point. He let out a roar as his body began to glow. When the light cleared, the other Gym Leaders saw a golden Lucario standing there, its eyes glowing red with rage.
Jason jumped from the building and landed on the roof of the next. He continued jumping until he was near the airship. With his improved eyesight, Jason was easily able to make out the girls. Jason jumped up and unleashed a series of blades made of Aura. The blades sliced through the metallic arms, causing the Pokémon held by them to drop.
Jason watched as April and the other Psychic types joined their powers and teleported all the Pokémon to safety.
We'll be fine, April said in his mind. Just send that ship flying!
"Easier said than done," Jason said out loud.
"Then I suppose it's a good thing you're not alone."
Jason turned to see Rai and Luna running towards him. Behind them were the other hybrids, some of which Jason didn't recognize. As he watched, many of them turned into their Pokémon form and began launching attacks at the ship. Jason added his on attacks to the fray, firing of several Aura Spheres. None of the attacks seemed to be doing any damage though.
"Everyone!" Jason yelled. "Focus your attacks on the command center at the bottom!" Jason watched as everyone charged up some form of attack and fired. Jason himself charged up a massive amount of Aura and unleashed an Aura Storm. The attacks coalesced into a single blast made up of several elements, the combined might of which was enough to send the ship sailing into the air. The Hybrids behind him cheered.
Jason walked over to Rai, who happened to be in his Gengar form, "Good thing you guy's showed up. I don't think I could have taken that down by myself."
Rai chuckled, "You would have found a way." He looked behind him, "As you can see, I've been busy making some more friends."
Jason nodded, "I'd love to meet them all, but right now I need to go check on the girls."
Rai nodded, "I understand. We'll see you around."
Jason sat on the edge of the bed in his human form. The attack from Team Rocket had been unexpected. Thankfully, the people of Snowpoint City had fled to the sanctuary of their homes, meaning that the general public had no idea the hybrids existed. The Gym Leaders were another story all together.
The meeting had reconvened to decide how to handle what they had seen. After hours of debate, the group decided to just let things be. The paperwork was drawn up and signed. This would be sent to the Elite Four of each region and ultimately to each Regions Champion.
Jason laid back on the bed, exhausted. He looked over to Abby, who was sound asleep next to him. He was grateful no harm had come to any of the girls. He looked around at all of the sleeping forms. He smiled.
This is my paradise, I suppose.
He crawled up to the head of the bed and fell asleep, ready for the long trip home that would start the next day.
Please review and keep sending me requests. I can't promise I'll get them done right away, but they will be done. No Yaoi or rape.
