41. Chapter 41

Authors Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. Okay, I should take a small break from writing lol. 3 chapters straight in a row takes out a lot on y hands, especially for arthritis lol. Anyway, this chapter isn't going to be a long one or being about 30 pages long either. As this one will be more of a downtime type of chapter and I haven't had one of those in a long while so figured it's in order.

Also Readinbeta, I did not nor did I ever said chapter 40 will have a lemon scene. You may have read the poll wrong when I said there will be lemons. IF I were to make a version of this story, through Leaf and Robert's eyes while tackling episodes I didn't touch upon that I had Ash go through. Figured to clear that up with ya.

Anyway, I also want to let everyone not to worry lol. I did not forget any plot holes of my story, especially surrounding Nidoqueen and Lopunny. However, I am not sure if I will cover their arc 'completely' in this story. As I am dead set on getting Ash to the Pokemon league, but who knows I might be able to if I deem if they need a chapter to themselves or not. After all- I did say my estimated guess of finishing this story will be around chapter 51-53. It can still happen within these chapters.

I have Cinnabar island arc all planned out too- so I will probably throw in their unfinished plot within this arc. So without further adieu, enjoy and have fun!

We find our hero at the Fuchsia boating docks talking to Professor Oak to update him and what's been happening lately on his travels and adventures. Along with checking up on the Pokemon he had recently caught and resting back at Oak's ranch. Pikachu on his shoulders as they speak and discuss topics with Oak. To even Ash asking how Gary, Leaf and Robert were doing- smiling hearing how all three of them are doing wonderful. Robert and Leaf, from what Oak is telling Ash. That the duo are on their way to the docks and ready to head to Cinnabar island, letting the professor relay a message to Ash about how they might arrive there after he gets to the island.

While Gary per usual, is already ahead of Ash and is on Cinnabar island right now. Already gathered about 12 gym badges and over about 100 Pokemon registered on the Pokedex. Making Ash's eyes to lower in annoyance and twitching brows, but then chuckled as Oak laughed softly saying how Gary couldn't stop talking about his and Ash's encounter with the Aerodactyl, as he wouldn't admit it in front of Ash. But Gary…was very impressed with Ash and even more so how he was able to command a wild Pokemon like Pidgeotto without catching it.

"That's great to hear Professor." Ash smiled while adjusting his hat and smiled at Pikachu who smiled back. "Anyway I should-" although before Ash could finish that sentence. Oaks' eyes bulged and then quickly shouts.

"Oh wait Ash there is something REALLY important I have to tell you, a discovery that your mom and I had found way back before you started on your Pokemon journey." The man quickly said and had Ash staring lightly and then cock his head to the right.

"Something…before I started my journey?" Ash repeats and then quickly has a flashback of what Oak may be referring to as he thought back right before leaving the Professor lab.

"I only have one question, Professor? How come the female Pokemon look human?"

"OH!" Ash's eyes widened and then rested one hand against the telephone desk. "That's right, I asked you why the female Pokemon look humanoid! Did you and mom find something that is related to it?" He asked and this had Pikachu raising his ears and he too quickly looked at Oak, as he too had been curious…actually, he and the girls were highly curious why Ash could see his true form, to even Erika back when they fought her for the Rainbow badge!

"Yes my boy and boy was it an amazing discovery. You might want to sit down and take a seat. As this is going to be a while to go through." Professor Oak said as Ash and Pikachu pulled a chair over and sat down. Looking towards the video screen and began listening to what Professor Oak had to say. "Alright, Ash this may come as a shock but here goes."

What kind of discoveries awaited Ash and his Pokemon that will have an impact on Ash? Along with Ash finally getting the answers he's been searching for a while on his journey, what ind of things will change for Ash and the girls from the information he is about to receive!

Chapter 41: Ash, Pokegirls and Children of Pokemon.

Xxx

The information that was relayed to Ash had the boy and Pikachu mind buzzing and racing as Professor Oak literally laid a huge bomb on them and revealing to them that there are actual people who has the same traits that Ash has, that are very well hidden and apparently are not that common to find in the world. Let alone in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Paldeo and Kalos. These traits Ash and Pikachu learned are apparently however a little more common in Sinnoh, Unova and Galar- as the first thing Oak went to discover about this special trai and made connections to the Sinnoh myths, Unova legends and Galar Folklores.

"What I am about to tell you, Ash and Pikachu, must be kept to yourselves. Only tell it to who you truly trust and think they can be trusted. Which don't worry, telling Robert and Leaf is alright- I have actually informed my grandson about it too and I have never seen his eyes widen like saucers in my life. That he even made a joke about how that could explain Scizor's behavior towards you during your first battle."

Ash hummed and stared at the ceiling of his bedroom on the cruise, large and wide enough to fit or house a good amount of Pokemon. His right knee up as he rested on the bed, arms folded behind his head against the pillow and blinking his eyes as the memory continued. "So Professor Oak, what is the trait called or this bloodline?" Ash words echoed as the boy then shifted his head towards the window of the cruise ship. Hearing Pikachu just entertaining himself and trying to find something to do in the room.

"The bloodline or traits that I am about to tell you, comes from our ancestors of old Ash called. "Children of Pokemon."

"Children of Pokemon?" Ash repeated back and even Pikachu whispered it to himself, twitching his ears as Oak nodded his head and then went to explain everything to Ash best he could, while even showing some documented findings on the computer video screen.

"That's right, 'Vision of Pokemon', 'Heart of Pokemon', 'Skill of Pokemon', 'Speech of Pokemon' and the final one that combines all of the traits into one and it's called, 'Child of Pokemon'" Ash hummed and thought it over and listen in great focus of what each trait does and how common the Vision of Pokemon and Heart of Pokemon were, compared to the other traits making Ash chuckled as he even released Gardevoir out of her Pokeball- with Oak's permission to having her hear this, considering Ash figured to have all his female Pokemon out of their Pokeballs when he got to the cruise, and chuckled when Gardevoir squealed happily and glomp Ash and hugged him tightly and even goofily shoving his face against her large breasts and cleavage before pausing and seeing Oak with blinking blue eyes and then drops Ash comedically and says her hello's to Oak with a big booming smile, to then blinking her blue eyes confusingly when Oak laughed and told Gardevoir that she's going to have quite a bomb drop on her.

Said Pokemon is also in the room smiling and playing with Pikachu, using her psychic powers to lift him off the floor and having him fly about. Giggling and cooing as she watches Pikachu having a fun time as she floats him about, while then looking over to Ash with her blue eyes and then eyes smiled at him with a cute blush. Feeling her heart racing against her chest whenever she looked at him, and then bashfully looks away in fit of giggles as she focuses back on Pikachu.

Ash smiled and faced back to the ceiling aa he continued remembering the conversation as Oak when into great detail of each trait. Especially the one Ash has, "The one that you have Ash and those who could also have it too- is Vision of Pokemon. It is very common among those who in the past have relationships with Pokemon, or even born from said Pokemon." This made Ash and Gardevoir eyes widen and nearly come out of their eye sockets, while then turning to each other as Ash whispered out that it was possible to Gardevoir.

Gardevoir shrugged her shoulders as she is like Ash, all of this is quite new to her let alone. She never really 'had' a chance to know anything of this considering she was hatched out of an egg from Sabrina's father and was given to the girl as a gift. They turned back to Oak who is laughing at how expressive Gardevoir seems to be around Ash, and having a sense their relationship has come to quite a blooming sakura flower.

"Heh anyway, Vision of Pokemon allows us to be able to see the Pokemon's true forms or humanoid forms with our own eyes. The video I found thanks to some of the trainers or researchers or those who look into legends and such, or just likes discovering interesting things on web forums. Link me to an interview video of a man and his Gothitelle in the Unova region where they had an inside scoop of finding proof of these traits." Oak laughed and chuckled. "Now thinking about it, my colleague in Unova, Professor Juniper- had actually sent me information like this back in the past. But…I dismissed them and kind of was…rude to her."

Gardevoir shook her head and wagged a finger while clicking her tongue, getting Ash and Pikachu snickering and laughing as Gardevoir was scolding Oak for his behavior. Making the professor laugh sheepishly and rubbing the back of his neck. "I deserve all the scorn, so Gardevoir is in the right place. As a researcher on Pokemon and such, I should've taken Juniper's research seriously at the time. But then again, she was only around 15 years old when she graduated from her scholarship and started her career as a Pokemon Professor like her father."

"Oh!" Ash suddenly piqued up and had Oak humming. "It's common in Unova! Does," Ash then had the biggest grin on his face which had Gardevoir and Pikachu gasping in delight as well smiling to and facing Oak. "Does that mean Robert might have the same trait!? Since he did move from the Unova region and here in Kanto and Pallet town!"

Oak laughed and thought it over and rubbed his chin. "Well that you have to answer Ash, since you've been traveling with him and Leaf a couple of times. Although, I don't think he has the Vision of Pokemon, on the account when he and Leaf discover your trait when you caught Mawile. They called me at the time, and I was so busy that I forgot to tell them too about Children of Pokemon- but I also wanted to wait for you to tell them."

Ash sat up front he bed and rested his foot on the floor, looking down at his lap and smiling as Oak had asked Ash, if Robert or Leaf could describe or detail out if any of the Pokemon had humanoid shapes. Although when Oak also explains to Ash that, the Vision isn't exactly locked to a specific Pokemon. More of whatever species their ancestors had gotten together with in the past, that results in what species of Pokemon that they will be able to see. In which Ash explains to Oak how that makes sense as Erika explained to him, how she couldn't really see all of his female Pokemon humanoid forms. Minus either their upper half or lower half, or none at all.

Ash then looks up towards Gardevoir who had Pikachu resting on her lap and stroking the male Pokemon back, smiling cutely down at him and then looking towards Ash and blushed brightly at him and looking away bashfully, stifling her giggles. Having Ash to chuckle and smiling back, he can definitely tell Gardevoir is truly infatuated with him than most of the other girls. It makes sense he thought, Gardevoir's are the embrace Poekmon and their pokedex entries say they will use everything in their power to protect their trainers. And ever since Vermillion city and them sharing their first real intimacy together. Gardevoir has become quite the happy and shining Pokemon- bursting with so much energy and enthusiasm that he is shocked to see how much was hidden deep inside of her.

Especially one day where Gardevoir- after battling and rescuing her trainer Sabrina from the darkness. Brought him over to a hilltop after leaving Saffron city and truly opened up to him and relayed it all down to him. How she was giving to Sabrina as a christmas gift, to playing and spending time with her as a Ralts, meeting with Sabrina's friend and evolving into Kirlia and leading up to the Lake incident. Ash smiled fondly at the memory and how Gardevoir was practically broken…but not broken in a way of going back to shielding herself, but broken in a way she finally showed her vulnerable true self towards him and all the weight on her shoulders and feeling so scared and concern that she wouldn't be able to face Sabrina's demons again.

But thanks to Blaziken who found her and sensed the dark and sad emotions Gardevoir was unintentionally letting out through the city and affecting the babies and children in the town. That Blaziken had found her and, 'pep' talks in her own unique way to Gardevoir and helped the female Psychic/Fairy type breaking free from those shackles and proudly came to the Pokemon gym to help Ash and even Sabrina during their gym battle.

Ash was even told after their Gym battle with Blaziken herself after during one of their training sessions before heading to the town being controlled by Mirror B. With Gardevoir sprawled out on the ground tired, dirty and exhausted- had fallen asleep. Especially when training with Blaziken that day as the fighting/fire type chirped and poked cutely against Gardevoir's cheek, laughing as Gardevori swat at her hand and whined about wanting to sleep.

There and then is where Ash learned from Blaziken why Gardevoir was so tired and exhausted before leaving Fuchsia city. Was because the two of them had a very huge and emotional battle against one another. That Gardevoir did what Blaziken did for her and broke through the scars and nightmares she was trapped in for so many years locked away in Oak's ranch and Pokemon storage. To even where Blaziken and, well…goofily exaggerating their battle towards Ash. In order to make Ash literally be in awe and amazement in his eyes, to then say how Gardevoir during Blazikens final rage and emotional wall breaking. Combined both her psychic powers infusing it with her Thunderpunch and blasted Blaziken with such force that Blaziken exaggerated that Gardevoir could have easily destroyed the mountain she pound Blaziken into near the waterfall.

This is where Ash connects the dots of why Gardevoir's once ruby eyes are now electric blue coloring now. The mutation between Thunderpunch and Psychic must've mutated her eyes to become that color. In which Ash honestly finds it incredible and laugh as he said to Blaziken at that time, how it makes Gardevoir unique but also shows proof of how much Gardevoir wanted to break Blaziken free from her own shackles, laughing as Blaziken roughly pressed her hand on his head and hat, wiggling it happily and chirp back that she agrees and makes Gardevoir more attractive and cool.

Ash then nearly laugh out of his memories, as Gardevoir let out a loud squeak and began turning completely red in the face as smoke began coming out of her ears, as she then laugh wildly as she slaps her hands against her cheeks and eyes, rapidly shaking her head left tor ight squealing and telling jokingly to Ash to stop making her blush and feel all embarrass and such. "Sorry Gardevoir, sorry- I can't help it!" Ash joked back and then laughed and shielded himself when she used Psychic to throw one of the items in the cabin room at him. With her shutting her eyes tightly but still smiling and giggling to herself from all the emotions Ash is giving to her.

Ash shook his head and figured he was going off topic from the Children of Pokemon now, and returned to the question he asked Oak about Robert having it in his DNA or not, since he moved from Unova. When Oak went and said how Robert and Leaf could probably not have Vision of Pokemon, since they don't see them like Ash. However- did go on to say Robert could possibly have the next one and that was, "Heart of Pokemon."

Ash smiled at how small and young Pokemon back then always wanted to play with him, always wanting to be around him, to even dragging or piling on top of him that it had to take his mom or Leaf to try and scare the Pokemon away from or even dragging him towards the forest. When Ash had asked what does Heart of Pokemon meant? This is what Oak told him and it had him, Pikachu and Gardevoir letting out a long draw 'oooooh' when he described the trait.

"Heart of Pokemon from what the man describe in the interview. That those has have this traits can befriend with any Pokemon, depending on the species however or the species they're ancestors has gotten together with where it makes it easier. However, younger Pokemon or smaller Pokemon will not or see or sense the person as a threat and even believe them to be Pokemon themselves. While those who are the same height or humanoid size, has a little harder time trusting them even if their instincts and sense tells them the person is of no threat. While more rare Pokemon or those who are powerful and very well experienced. Will not trust them at all and behave like a wild Pokemon would when spotting a trainer or human."

"But Blaziken is strong and experienced, yet when she went to strike Robert. Besides Eevee hopping onto Robert's lap at the time, which I think it was because of Eevee…but?" Then Oak chuckled and helped clear that situation up.

"Eevee may have played a part in it, but again since Blaziken is a trained Pokemon before being abandoned. Her trust in humans despite being broken from her trainer, Blaziken wasn't exactly a wild Pokemon when she met Robert for the first time. Sure her rage probably wanted her to strike, but as soon she got close that is when she sensed and picked up on the Heart of Pokemon possibly inside of Robert. Making her pause all actions and probably look completely confused and weirded out."

"Now thinking about it?"Ash recalled and flashed to that memory as Robert was sitting on the bench and was calm, shaking but calm as Ash figured Robert was going to dive out of the way or knowing Leaf would send out one of her Pokemon. Or little Eevee ready to use Quick attack on Blaziken. But recalled Blaziken's eyes widening into saucers and literally dug her talons on the ground hard and roughly, sliding forward and coming to a stop in front of Robert and Eevee making the two to stare confusingly. "Blaziken looked bewildered and weirded out that she even approached Robert and began sniffing him, having Robert look even weirded out himself and Blaziken just retracted illy from Robert and just…look dumbfounded?"

He then looked to Pikachu and then Gardevoir, who cooed at him when he then asked her. "Actually you too behave oddly around Robert, as whenever you walk about or go near him and Leaf. You kept having this weird look and just stood there staring openly towards him. While scratching your chin as if trying to figure out what is up with Robert." In turn Gardevoir chuckled sheepishly silently saying how she won't lie, she got really confused of Blaziken suddenly stopping from harming Robert and began sensing it too.

Oak chuckled and laughed and smiled, "Then that confirms it, Robert possibly has Heart of Pokemon- and from what Leaf has told me whenever she calls here to let her mother and Robert's mother know their doing alright. She told me the exact same thing happening with wild Pokemon, however what the man says and how he described it. Robert's Heart of Pokemon is quite strong, but not to a point that more experienced, strong or really rare Pokemon are able to ignore this trait unless caught. As for if Leaf has one," Oak hummed as he thought about it.

"I am not sure but I do know that the man has disclosed that these traits can also be dormant and even those who don't exactly have ancestors who got together with Pokemon. Can have the traits too- but not as strong to those whose family generations had kept it going."

"Yeah, Erika can be a good example of that then." Ash said back to Oak as the discussion continued to the other traits of Pokemon. The information was very validating and helpful, considering it has been bothering Ash greatly of how and why he is able to see the girls the way they are. All the while if he is the only one who had it, that made his adventure kind of lonely and semi-worrying that he may have…well, become a freak in Kanto that is the only person who has this trait. But EVERYTHING made sense now and had Ash glaring at the floor, alerting Gardevoir and Pikachu as they glared too and heard Ash saying.

"Then that must've been 'that guy' who trapped me and Leaf at the tower. Must've had the Skills of Pokemon then…it makes complete sense for his strange abilities and the likes. And why is the other guy always chasing after him.." Ash hummed as he recalled Oak explaining what that trait does, as the 'Speech of Pokemon' is very self explanatory in itself. But 'Skill of Pokemon', now that made a whole lot of sense for why it felt like they were fighting a monster whenever meeting that guy.

Gardevoir and Pikachu look to one another and then back to Ash, while then smiling as he hops out of the bed and grinned towards the two. "Well that's in the past now, but man!" He then pumped his arms and grinning widely and excitedly. "Who knew that this is an actual thing, Children of Pokemon…that is incredible!" He threw his fists up and then backed down laughing. "Granted, we shouldn't openly spill the beans and let random people know about it. Considering, it might cause problems and or think of us as freaks." He chuckled and Pikachu happily hops of Gardevoir's lap and had her standing up and stretching out her arms above her head, pushing her breasts outward as it strained against her white dress and swung her arms down, making her boobs bounce and jiggling about as she turned and look to Ash.

"Which reminds me?" He suddenly said and rested a hand on his chin, having Gardevoir tilt her head. "I should probably let the other girls know about this too! Won't we do any good to keep it for ourselves right?" Ash grinned and had Gardevoir clap her hands together and nodded. While Pikachu rapidly nodded his head as Ash went ahead and reached towards his wrist watch Pokemon tranxeiver storage device and began clicking and tapping the buttons to go and grab the female Pokemon to bring out and release them in the room. Minus Aerodactyle and the other fossil Pokemon- as Okay told Ash, that he will go and relay the information towards them for him once he will keep an eye out for when Ash transfers his Pokemon from the box.

When the Pokeballs began appearing and materializing on the desk in front of him and near the bed. He went ahead and grabbed the Pokeballs around his belt and placed them onto the desk too. Looking at each individual one of them and taking a breath. It is going to be quite interesting to relaying this information, that he look towards Gardevoir who walk over to him and happily walk over and nuzzle her none existing nose, to then kissing his cheek affectionately while placing both hands on his left and right shoulder, pressing her massive breasts against his arm and letting him know she has his back and will relay the information to the girls, who might be confused or not understanding what is being said.

Ash went ahead and threw each Pokeball up and released every female Pokemon who could fit in the room one by one. Watching each individual Pokemon appearing in a bright flash of light and forming in front of him. Blaziken let out a quiet humming and rubbing her eyes, considering she was taking a small nap back at the ranch. Then blinking her blue eyes towards Ash, Gardevoir and Pikachu. She then smiled and while ignoring the others who were being released, she went over to Ash's backpack and unzipper it, to then pulling out the Pokemon egg that's inside the incubator and then approach the bed of the cabin and gently opens the case and held the Egg against her stomach, chest and lap.

Mawile, Greninja, Flareon, Meowzy, Lopunny, Buneary, Nidoqueen, Lilligant, Ninetales and Lucario were all out and about in the cabin room. All laughing when Greninja, who got surprised from the sudden release, quickly jumped up into the ceiling of the room and shook lightly. But sweat dropped and began calming down while having a relaxed expression seeing it was just the other girls and Ash. She unhinged from the ceiling and hung against it with one hand and landed back onto the floor.

"Hey everyone, I know it is sudden and having you all here. But, there is actually a lot I need to let you all know and what I have discovered recently with my chat with Oak." Ash said to the girls, who all blinked their eyes and remained quiet to listen to their trainer. "Gardevoir, think you will be able to help ease out the information to them as I speak?" Ash asked with a smile, watching her nodding and giggling happily as she looked at Blaziken. Who hummed and tilted her head and got relaxed, while the other girls went ahead and found a spot for themselves to sit and get comfortable.

"Okay so let's start with the biggest bomb drop." Ash laughed and got everyone giggling or chuckling, as they know the boy is all about being blunt and forward whenever he discovers something interesting and can't bottle it up. They watch the raven hair boy raise a hand and one finger, "Okay so you all know how I am able to see you in humanoid like shapes? Looking human to me and seeing all…well your assets." Ash said softly at the end while blushing lightly, but couldn't help but laugh at some of the female Pokemon who hadn't learned this yet. Stared confusingly at him and then looked at each other and back.

"Maw?" Mailw tilted her head cutely asking if that was true? "Mawile, wile?" She continued asking if when she taunted or teased him, Leaf and Robert were back at the hospital. And how his friends ask if Ash could see the clothes she was wearing, actually fitting her? She then look to Gardevoir, BNlaziken, Ninetales, Lucario, Lopunny nodding their heads and letting her know that he can definitely see their true forms. This had the other girls including Nidoqueen, who blink her eyes and then slowly look down towards her chest and began feeling a little embarrassed and sheepish of how her milkers, within her battle bra cups were constantly thrashing about or clapping wildly- that she couldn't help but clear her throat and now feeling very sheepish about openly exposing herself like that around Ash.

Flareon just tilted one ear downwards and stared with her eyes as she was trying to process what she just learned. "F…lareon?" She asked slowly while lifting her hand up and pointing to Ash. Who nodded.

"Yup, when we first met Flareon and saw you battling back at Blair glitz with your trainer. I was able to see how badly you were being mistreated. Leading to Leaf, Robert, and the boy who helped us out back then. Planned that operation to save you and get you away from Mark and towards the Pokemon center." Ash informed, then smiled sheepishly when Flareon had her other ear notched downwards and then slowly looks down at her yellow mane like fur and then rested her hands towards the bottom of it- in which surprised Ash seeing how it was basically a short yellow tank-top that barely drapes over her impressive breasts, showing off the bottom of them.

Ash hummed and watched as Flareon didn't pull the shirt all the way off- but tilt her head and then asked. "Flareon, eon?" Pointing to her assets and felt her face turning dark pink as Ash, who shyly looked away with a chuckle, looked back at her and nodded his head. Making her leave her mouth a gape and let go of the top and have it slide back down to cover most of her breasts, as her tail swish very slowly and then droop her arms and hands back down to her sides. "Fl…Flareon?" She asked while nudging slowly towards her lower body, so Ash's eyes knew she was not wearing any kind of pants down below. Just her natural fur was covering her intimate parts. Again, he nodded and this had Flareon get a little dizzy and ready to faint from embarrassment only for Meowzy to quickly rush over and stop her from falling backwards.

This realization went to the other girls, who were now curious and wondering all at once, including Blaziken as she hasn't learned yet but Gardevoir. Gardevoir cleared her throat and began relaying information towards them about what Professor Oak discussed to them, easing the girls into what Ash is about to say next that will have everyone there jumping onto their feet in shock especially when he went and said. "I apparently along with my ancestors before me. Have traits that resemble Pokemon." He informed and winced and laughed when everyone literally had their eyes widened and shouting 'no way, seriously?!' in their Pokemon tongue.

Blaziken also was on her feet wide-eyed and in complete shock of what she just heard, holding the egg close to her and heard Ash continuing to say, "yup that's right. Apparently I have Pokemon DNA in me, well not exactly or literal Pokemon DNA. Um…" He then crossed his arms and rubbed his finger against his chin. "I should probably say, I have traits that a Pokemon would…sigh it's confusing, I didn't understand most of what Oak was trying to relay. But, let's go with "I have Pokemon DNA/Blood running through my veins." He bluntly said at the end. Getting everyone to look towards one another, then back to Ash and approach him and got close now highly curious of this information.

Ash eased their worries thinking that or possibly having their imaginations going wild of the boy being experimented on as a kid or when he was born. "No, no girls. I didn't get experimented on or was made in some crazy lab." Stated Ash while calming the girls down who let out a breath of relief.

But giggled when Mawile snapped her fingers and crossed her arms, looking upwards with a humph. Muttering out how that would've been a great origin story for a superhero, getting collective stares and sheepish laughter. But minus Meowzy, Buneary and Flareon asking if that could be possible, showing their innocent side to themselves and believing Mawile actually knows superheroes. But falter their expressions when she bashfully rubbed her neck, saying how she actually read comic books when living with her human mother. So, she kind of got that generalization from the superhero books.

Ash then cleared his throat and had everyone facing him again as Blaziken stroked and rubbed the Pokemon egg in her lap, chirping with interest now. "Anyway, apparently the trait I got from this bloodline, which is called "Children of Pokemon"." Then raised one hand forward and opened his palm, in a way pointing to the Pokemon. "My trait is called 'Vision of Pokemon' that allows humans to be able to see certain species of Pokemon true forms, or their humanoid forms. Along with…um…" Ash then looks away for a brief moment, not sure how to word this without sounding weird. But figured to go full throttle on it, "Apparently besides that, but it also means potentially also able to keep the blood going for said species Pokemon I can…well make love with." He chuckled lightly, this getting everyone minus Gardevoir, who just squealed and held her cheeks with her open hands and shook her head in delight.

For the others they were red in the face and blushing brightly at what he just told them. Vision of Pokemon allowing him to see their true forms, but also possibility of keeping the bloodline strong by Pokemon Species he's able to see in their humanoid form as possible mates? Blaziken, who was blushing herself, looked to the corner of her eyes and hummed lightly. Coming to terms of what he said, but also…finding it fascinating considering before her original trainer abandoned her and attacked her, during their travels had ran into a few Pokemon in Hoenn and Trainers, showing really odd behaviors towards one another and if her memory serves her right?

Speaking to one of those Pokemon is what actually had her starting to look at her trainer in a different light. Believing that he may have gotten the "Children of Pokemon' trait that Ash just relayed to them. She chirped lightly while pursing her lips to the side nodding her head as she came to a thought of 'Could be possible, his weird attitude and embarrassment around me makes a lot of sense now. Although, I…can't be certain if he did have Vision of Pokemon or not though?'

Blaziken then shook out of her thoughts and turned to Ash when he spoke to her, "Blaziken., sorry for interrupting your thoughts." Ash said with a smile, having her smile back and wave it off and letting him know it's quite okay. "Okay, so besides that trait there are others and I wanted to double check with you, cause the next trait is going to be a little confusing for everyone. Minus the smaller Pokemon." Ash said and looked at the girl's, who are usually the same height as him, are still considered small through normal means. "The next trait for Children of Pokemon, is called 'Heart of Pokemon'"

Everyone repeated the words, but this had Meowzy, Flareon, Lilligant and even MAwile smiling brightly and happily as they have an idea what it means. "Heart of Pokemon is apparently the second most common trait, with Vision of Pokemon being the first common trait." Ash then cleared his throat and wrapped his hands behind his back and smiled at the girls and Blaziken. "Apparently those who have Heart of Pokemon, are able to befriend Pokemon easily without too much worry or risking danger to themselves. However, it seems that the trait only works around Pokemon who are either small or the same size as humans. If a Pokemon who is wild, but has a lot of experience, strength and overall powerful. The trait doesn't work all that well to those who have it, but the said Pokemon in question- won't provoke or outright attack but still be on guard."

Blaziken nodded along with the others but now she's confused why he's directing it to her? "Okay, so…remember back when we finally met up with Robert and Leaf?" Ash asked and laughed softly as Blaziken, raised a hand to the side of her face and looked away. Not exactly thrilled about how she almost attacked and harmed the two back then. Then look back to Ash and blink her eyes when he then said, "well…after you just heard the description of Heart of Pokemon. Despite how powerful you and experience back then…did you pick up Robert's almost presence of being a Pokemon?" He asked and this had Blaziken humming and looking straight ahead at nobody and then furrowed her brows and closed her eyes. Hugging the egg tightly between her thighs to keep it still and thought over it.

Her mind flashbacks to that day as she lunged and ready to strike down Robert, originally she thought the reason why she stopped herself is when his Eevee jumped onto his lap. But now thinking about it and when she slid to a stop and was in front of the two. She recalled being HIGHLY confused and bewildered at Robert, who at the time tilted his head very slightly looking really confused and worried to her. Especially when she leaned closer to him and just sniffed him. Blaziken laughed at that, no doubt making Robert uncomfortable of why that was…but now thinking about it, and what Ash just said? She did find it odd that Robert's presence and scent was that of a Pokemon slash Human? Freaking her out at the time of what the hell that was about and decided not to mess with him and retreated.

Blaziken hummed after getting out of her memory and opened her eyes, "Blaziken, ken." She chirped towards Ash saying she remembers and even started explaining how and thanks to Gardevoir translating for Ash. Explained how she got a little worried and freaked out that Robert had a scent of both Pokemon and Human, and not Eevee's scent no. Like she smelled Robert as 'Pokemon' but also 'human'. Making her huff lightly and shook her head grasping the egg softly and murmured out how her brain just could not comprehend how that was possible?

Ash smiled and laughed as he could see how confused Blaziken was when she recalled the memory. "Well that proves it, Robert must have "Heart of Pokemon" running through his veins." And then laugh and tell everyone. "Which is another thing I need to bring up, apparently this Children of Pokemon is very alive and thriving within the Unova region from what Oak said, among other regions too. So, it could be possible that anyone in the Unova region may have the Children of Pokemon running through them!" He chuckled and smiled.

He went ahead and explained the other three traits and how they work from what Oak told him, Pikachu and Gardevoir. With Gardevoir doing her best to relay the information and have it be understandable to the girls, and how they work. Much as the names suggests their pretty self explanatory- Skill of Pokemon is humans having powers and abilities that relate to that specific typing, Speech of Pokemon allowing the human with this trait to understand and hear Pokemon in their native tongue and not through their species name,.

"The last one however…" Ash hummed and crossed his arms and had everyone looking. "Blood of Pokemon, professor Oak didn't really go into detail about it. But, basically it's all the traits combined into one? What Oak found thanks to people on forms on the computer, shared a video to him and what the person said in the video. That the rarest traits are Skill, Speech and Blood of Pokemon…Blood of Pokemon being the rarest and almost impossible for anyone to really achieve when they are born." And then looked to the window of the cabin, and stared worryingly. "IF there are people who possibly have this trait…I sure hope we don't run into them especially if they're using it for nefarious reasons."

This had Blaziken, Gardevoir, Pikachu, Ninetales, Lucario and Lopunny to shiver at the mere thought. Confusing everyone of their reactions, with Pikachu quickly chanting out and explaining to them how they recall the Pokemon tower at Lavender town? In which he got the reaction and saw everyone else shivering in fright, minus Lilligant, Mawile and Greninja who were confused but were told that something bad happened there, they just don't want to go into detail about it.

After a while and going through everything and letting the girls digest everything that they were told. Ash had gone ahead and grabbed some food everyone to enjoy and let everything sink in, he also got himself some food and began eating. Enjoying the amazing meal of Burgers, fries and some ribs on the side. Ash's mind began wandering to himself as he heard everyone chirping, yipping or speaking to one another. Possibly going over things that they learned and probably how everyone is doing at the Pokemon Ranch.

Ash stared towards his food as he slowly chewed the burger. "We've come a very long way now…going through impossible odds and lengths to reach to the point we are today. Good and bad times, friendships and heartbreak, dangers and trials." He then turned to everyone who was now messing and playing with Pikachu. Seemingly teasing him and the likes, while some of the girls were holding him and having their breasts on top of his head, or squeezing him between their cleavage as the mouse Pokemon, look completely bashful, embarrassed and slightly miserable at the girls taunting him or teasing him.

"Who would've thought of these four girls from the beginning. Who were sent to Oak by their owners, trainers or injured out on the road and abandoned. Was able to recover and open themselves up to me on this journey of ours." He then turned to Gardevoir and Blaziken, as Blaziken asked Gardevoir if she would like to hold the Pokemon egg.

Making the Psychic/fairy type blush and quickly waving her hands in a way that Blaziken doesn't need too- and saying how it's her egg. But Blaziken, who has been freed from her demons and showing her true self. Wiggled her brows teasingly and tauntingly telling Gardevoir how a big wimp she is, and is too scared to even hold a Pokemon egg. Making the blue eye Gardevoir to flinch and then shouts back at her with a red face. Saying how she isn't afraid of a Pokemon egg! Then tries to make an excuse as she rolls her wrist around and finds the words, only to yelp and get pushed back slightly as Blaziken rolled her eyes and just handed the Pokemon egg to her and said or telling her to suck it up. Then leaned close to the blue eyed Pokemon ears, that then had Gardevoir go completely still and mouth agape with her face turning dark red and smoke began steaming out from her ears.

Having the other girls there blushing as well, with some holding their cheeks and rapidly shaking their heads or having their tails thump against the floor. While others, the comment just went right over their heads, not exactly understanding what Blaziken meant by 'Gardevoir would probably want to have Eggs with Ash'. Leaving them to shrug their shoulders figuring Blaziken is just being Blaziken. This had Ash laughing at the interactions as Gardevoir quickly shook her head and glared slash deadpan openly to now one and had Blaziken humming with confused and then yelped out in pain as energy gather around her upper body and she was suddenly slammed down into the floor, while then flying up and onto her back as Gardevoir used her Psychic powers to do that and smiled wickedly. While then lifting the egg up and gently nuzzling it with her cheek, telling the baby inside to not pick up her soon to be adoptive mother's antics.

Having Ash to snicker and turn back to his food as he continued eating and going through his thoughts. MEmories flashing through all the battles they had, all the adventures they had and meeting so many people and places during their travels. Including catching and adding more Pokemon onto their team. Ash couldn't be any more prouder than he already was with everyone and how hard workers they are. Sure it took awhile to gain ALL their trust, but it all worked out and everyone became closer than ever before. Forming this amazing and happy family they have been growing.

That is when his mother's words started echoing in his head and he stopped mid-bite of his meal and then hung his mouth open in light concern. "Now Ash while traveling, there will be no doubt you might run into some…attractive girls along your journey who might start being attracted to you. As it's going to happen no matter what, even if you did stay here in Pallet town or not." Came his mother's words and Ash eyes overshadowed by his hat as memories flashes towards the sessions he had with Gardevoir, Ninetales and Lucario. Moreso with Gardevoir, who made sure whenever she was with him and the party. She will come out of the ball and happily nuzzle and wrap her arms around his.

"And if you ever do get a companion to join you and they behave oddly towards you. It means that they are interested in you and have grown a fond relationship with you. Even if we girls or women don't exactly openly display it. There are hints to knowing how we're interest in the person we meet…even if it might be one-sided at times."

"...even if it might be one sided…" Ash repeated in his head and then turned towards Gardeovir and the girls, who were now just seemingly chatting and the likes. But gardevoir hummed and shift her head towards Ash and then the entirety of the room completely went dark and showed those two only. Blue coloring covered Ash, while Green covered and enveloped Gardevoir within the darkness as the two stared towards one another and Gardevoir began picking up his emotions followed by his memories. "My mom said even if it might be one-sided, girls will show hints and body language of being interested in the person they want to be romantically involved with." His thoughts echoed into Gardevoir as memories of their time together began playing out in this dark void.

"Gardevoir…the times you came out of the Pokeball and spent time with me and Pikachu in certain towns and such. Was…I ignored you all those times where you were showing more than just affection. Even after we did it about four times?" Ash asked as still memories showed Gardevoir four different times, pulling and dragging Ash to a secluded place and somewhere private to make out with him or make love with him. "You even acted quite wholesome when we started shopping to pick up items or new clothes for me to wear on our journey. Like an actual human spending time with their friends and such."

"...Ash?" Gardevoir's voice echoed out worriedly and concerned for him. "Are you alright, where is this coming from all of the sudden?" She continued asking and then giggled when she felt Ash laugh softly, as she sensed the shift in his emotion as it wasn't of sadness or depression. More of soul searching and wanting to relay his feelings towards her. Her blue eyes shine through her green silhouette, while Ash's brown eyes shine through his blue silhouette in their dark void of their minds as Gardevoir, blinked her eyes when his memory began playing of what his mother said before he met everyone and took them with him. Having Gardevoir coo softly, "Oh, so this is why you're thinking these things. Huh, well they do say mothers are quite wise for their children at times."

"I was stupid…" Ash suddenly said and had Gardevoir humming as now more memories began flowing through and everyone, including her and the pokegirls that were around him and such. Showing their affections, wrestling or playing with him. Nuzzling or cuddling with him with deep blushes and such, to even those who were purposely showing their assets off towards him and the likes. Minus a few female Pokemon like the more recent ones who join their group. "Here everyone has been showing me nothing but love and kindness, and even though I do return the favor…" He then sighed and closed his eyes, while Gardevoir's blue eyes softened and closed half lidded. "It was just me returning the gestures, thinking you guys were just being you and enjoying having my attention as a trainer. But…it never crossed my mind that it was more than just attention, but wanting to show romantic interest in me and I ignored them."

"Oh Ash," Gardevoir's voice rang out and had him opening his eyes as she closed her own in a smile shape. "Returning our interests or not, we are still happy to have your attention. While caring for us and loving us are your Pokemon partners." Gardevoir said and showed memories of what she saw with the girls, who went and spoke to her now flowing through and relaying to Ash.

"Ever since that day at Lavender town, to see you break down and run off into the forest to yourself and cry into our arms. We knew that you are more than our trainer, more than just some kid wanting to explore and see all the Pokemon out there. Or becoming a Pokemon master-" Her eyes opened up and had a bit of tears near the corner of them as she then brightly smiled. "We love you for who you are and the person you've become. Strong, kind, generous and have a big heart…even though you do tend to be compulsive at times and get a little hot headed."

"Hey." Ash retorted but laughed alongside Gardevoir. Knowing that she wanted to elicit a reaction and make the mood towards a more light hearted direction. "But…thanks." He said and had Gardevoir nodding her head and then continued with the memories between each other and then hummed when he said. "But, I think it's high time I stop acting like an idiot and understand to accept my Pokemon feelings."

"Huh?" Gardevoir blinks her eyes and everything returns to the waking world as all the Pokemon blink their eyes when they hear Ash placing down his silverware and then gets off his chair. Having a smile on his face and slight tears running down his face. He quickly used his arm and wipe them away and took a sharp inhale of breath whale then turned and faced the female Pokemon. As Gardevoir's eyes began slowly shrinking and her heart rising up in her chest, along with the other girls who have interest in him too were the same and then Gardevoir, began fumbling her lips and began sniffing as she was trying to keep her emotions in check, just enhancing everyone else's who were the same and were in awe of what Ash says next that flow floored them.

"I think it's high time I stop being a fool to you all, and well…" Ahs then chuckled and looked to the side and scratched his cheek softly. "Figured to take responsibility as a trainer and allow myself not to be afraid anymore, or be nervous or scared about accepting you girls affection for me." He said with a bright smile as everyone looked at one another and felt their own tears starting to form, while even Blaziken. Who just in a comedic way reached over to Gardevoir and took the Egg away from her, sensing that the girl is going to throw herself at him if an on looker was facing in their direction. "So from now on and here on out, I, Ash ketchum, will be much more open and-" Although he never got to finish as Gardevoir got up on her feet and literally ran over and threw herself onto him. Followed by some of the other female Pokemon, like Lucario, Ninetales, Lilligant, although when she tried reaching her foot step onto one of the food bowls and literally flew right into the group and caused them to slam against the wooden chair of the room and break it apart.

Sending it into splinter, but when everyone recovered as well Ash rubbed his head. They just stare and then began openly laughing, while Ash closed his one eye as he was being nuzzled and loved by the Pokemon, while Gardevoir is tightly hugging him and giggling and crying of how this young man- and being the goof that he is and outspoken, just out right surprised her and everyone how he is going to be more aware and accepting of the Pokemon feelings and affection towards him.

This had the other girls who didn't run over to look at each other and smiled brightly at each other, then back to Ash and the girls who were hugging him. They may not exactly have feelings for Ash, not yet at least- as they just recently joined. But are witness to seeing the young trainer openly and freely saying how he will accept their affection fully. But also making ground rules towards them, to which Gardevoir easily placed a finger on his lip. Letting him know through telepathy that they are MOST definitely, going be quite careful how they show their affection when around others. Making him laugh and then saying, "Although I think we're safe with Robert and Leaf- something tells me they have an idea how our relationship is. Those two are very perspective with things after all, especially Leaf."

He said and the girls nodded in understanding as he ain't wrong. Leaf can easily notice something out of place or if things feel off around her. Especially when it comes to her friends, and if anything when they met Mawile, Leaf was the first to pick up on Ash's unique trait and asked him if the clothes Mawile wore fitted her or not.

"But either way," Ash then smiled and asked. "What exactly are you girls' goals? Like, what do you want to achieve on our Pokemon journey? I never had the chance to ask and am now curious, considering I don't think you all have the same dream as me after all." He laughed and joked. Though look at Pikachu, who smiled. "Well minus Pikachu probably. Right buddy, you want to see the world and Pokemon who exist in it." Ash said and laughed as Pikahcu let out a happy chu and ran over and jumped onto his shoulder and nuzzled his cheek sac against Ash. Getting the girls around them to smile and giggle, as they went ahead and tried their best to relay what exactly their goals or dreams were. Which changed ever since joining Ash and defeating their demons during their travels.

This had the others humming and crossing their arms lightly pondering themselves of what their goals will be? Nidoqueen hummed and closed her eyes, memories of her trainer soon came to mind and she was curious how he was doing? Ever since that storm and ending up at the Pokemon preserve where she first met Ash and the others. Nidoqueen has been pondering greatly where her trainer might be, she knows his name too. So- maybe when she gets a chance she will ask Gardevoir's help and relay the message to Ash. But for now- she will enjoy the ride and have fun with everyone as they take on the Pokemon league.

Lilligant eyes smiled as she already knows her goals and that is to become a strong and powerful Grass type anyone has ever seen and taking on the Pokemon league! This had Ash and the girls laughing, forgetting about what Erika told them and how Lilligant before working in her perfume shop and such. Used to be quite the fighter and warrior like Pokemon.

Everyone was chatting and telling Ash exactly what their goals and dreams were, with some saying how they changed and he listened intently as much as he could while Gardevoir translated and raised and lowered her arms as if talking to Ash. Blaziken chuckled and laugh nearby, while then humming and turned her head towards the right and took note of Lopunny…who was suddenly quiet and seemingly sitting by herself near a corner and looking sadly towards the floor, while clenching her fingers into fists and squeezing her thighs and trembling ever softly. While then closing her eyes tightly and seemingly clicking her tongue and then got up and began stomping her way towards the door and slamming it shut.

Alarming everyone to the sudden behavior and were about ready to get up and see what was wrong. Only for Blaziken to turn and chirp, "Blaziken, ken." She suddenly told everyone to let Lopunny be by herself. Making everyone and Pikachu look at Blaziken, then turn to the door as Blaziken softly spke some more. "Ken, blaziken…" saying how Lopunny needs to be alone now and that everyone will just make things worse for her. Ash hummed and looked at the door and began wondering what had upset Lopunny?

Xxx

We see Lopunny on the very top of the cruise ship roofs as the lights of the ships glowed within the moonlit sky, neon lights flowing ever slowly and bouncing about as the people on the deck were partying and enjoying themselves. The brown rabbit was in a feeble position and had her legs and knees up to her face. Staring sadly out into sea as her ruby eyes shimmered within the night as she hears screams and cries of Pokemon echoing within her head, words of mommy over and over rang through her head and the mother the small child was yelling too- was yelling back and told them to hide and run away far as possible, high in Mt moon's mountains where she and her unborn sister will be safe. Promising the young rabbit that she will be with them soon, as she went off and disappeared in loud explosions, fire bursting through the forest and roars of a Tyranitar could be heard in the distance.

Lopunny gritted her teeth and cut her lip, drawing light blood as she began shaking badly as she stood up and dug her nails into her hands and trembled her fists, before throwing her head up and shouting. "YOU SAID YOU WILL BE RIGHT BACK, YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T LOSE! YOU WERE POWERFUL THAN ANY TRAINER OUT THERE, THEN WHY! WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY DID YOU BREAK YOUR FUCKING PROMISSSSSSSSEEEEE!"

Lopunny screech out in agony and pain as she fell back onto her hands and knees, whaling and crying- as the last memory flash in her head as the shadows of her mother flicker and shook within the Mt moon mountain walls, before suddenly screeching and freezing up and slowly becoming petrified by some strange device and a devils face looming over the mother's stone body as she was taken away from her and her sister…forever to be lost and never to be found again. As Lopunny just continued crying and whimpering and pounding the ship's rooftop as she let out one last cry of frustration and shouted to the moon.

"MOTHEEEEEEER!"

As our hero's journey…continues.

To be continued…
