Chapter Two - The Pulse at Mt Moon, New Member to the team and talks
Author's Note
Silver - Sorry for the delayed update, life got busy but then the characters wanted other things to appear. Thank you for the support in this story, I hope you like what I will be doing with Mt Moon and the hint to two characters that will be joining Ashleigh on her journey at different times, but both will be on the Kanto journey. I have decided to include elements of an old anime and I will be writing a back story for Sir Aaron and Queen Rin, I will write their story in full and post it once I reach either the first movie or just after the second movie chapter, not sure just yet however I will post in the notes once the story is fully written. Also I decided to add in a few extra scenes that explore the other characters, I really hope you like it. Final note is that I will be writing Delia's Pokemon Journey and her life.
Loki - Thank you for the support of this story, even though I keep telling Silver to work on the other ones, crazy woman, at least she has outlines for actual chapters on this one.
Silver - There are two songs for this chapter, the first is the song Who You Really Are from the movie Balto 2: Wolf Quest. The second song is Brave by Josh Groban.
Delia Ketchum's House
Pallet Town, Kanto
4th of Feb, 2019
4:30pm
Once Delia arrived back home from seeing her daughter, she began to pace in the living room, trying to calm her nerves as well as a massive guilt for not even trying to tell Ashleigh the truth. Delia hit a pillow and kicked the couch before she sighed and then she glanced over to the video phone.
"I need to call him, tell him about what happened to Ashleigh... also tell him I still have not told Ash the truth" Delia muttered to herself before sitting down heavily on the couch and then shaking her head and walked over to the phone dialing a number before she could stop herself again.
RING! RING! RING!
"Well, it has been a while Delia since we chatted" Delia smiled seeing the man on the screen. The man had spiky black hair that shone dark green in the sun light, he had brown eyes and was wearing a red vest over a black tank top, finally Delia smiled seeing the Pokeball necklace.
"Drake, it has been a while... congrats on getting the mini league up and going in the Orange Islands..." Drake smiled at her and nodded "listen, so I have news" Delia stated and Drake raised an eyebrow before a worried look came in his eyes.
"Is Ashleigh alright? Are you alright? Do you need me?" Drake asked with a worried eyes and Delia raised her hand to stop Drake.
"Calm down, Drake, first I am fine and yes, the news I have is about Ashleigh" Delia replied and Drake tilted his head.
"Is everything alright? Did she start her trainer journey? What starter did she get? Did you tell her the truth? How did she take it? Did you tell Samuel the truth?" Drake asked and Delia sighed at the rapid fire questions.
"Ash started her journey yesterday and she got to my surprise a Pikachu from Samuel" Delia answered and Drake sat back in his chair with a slight look of shock.
"Why did Samuel have a Pikachu on offer? Have you gone over to chat to him?" Drake asked with a frown and Delia shrugged.
"I have yet to go and ask him nor tell him the truth about Ashleigh..." Drake sighed shaking his head "I have been..." Delia sighed biting her lip and looked down clenching her hands into fists before relaxing "I could not tell Ashleigh the truth, I have been... I have been feeling guilty about not telling her, been pacing a lot... trying to clean the house that is already clean..." Delia stated looking back to the screen and Drake looked at her with concern.
"Cordelia, you told me that you would tell her before she started her journey... have you even called your father? Told him that he has a granddaughter... you know the minute he hears Ketchum he will ask my mother, who then would call me straight away and question me" Drake stated and Delia looked to the side towards the kitchen.
"No, I haven't called him... I... I... I just can't call him..." Delia felt tears form in her eyes before she wiped them away "I still feel the pressure of being the daughter of Charles Goodshow... now more than ever since he took over as president of the league, seeing that he has people looking out to find me... I know he is worried, wanting to find me... seeing that it has been 11 years since I cut contact... I just... I just wanted to be free and then I found Ashleigh... I did not want to put pressure on her... I saw how Gary went from a nice boy to a little brat" Delia stated with anger at the last bit about Gary Oak as she went back to looking at her hands and Drake nodded in understanding.
"You know that I understand all of that, I am surprised my mother has not contacted me about getting the Orange Islands a league, unless she is busy with the ghosts or people wanting to test their skills against her" Drake stated and Delia giggled remembering the time when Agatha's Gengar pranked her father by taking his favourite hat.
"I still remember when Gengar scared my father by simply floating over to him and grabbing his hat..." Drake chuckled remembering the pout Charles had given his mother for Gengar pranking him "but you still talk to her, even if it twice a year... I remember you telling that a few years back" Delia asked and Drake nodded.
"Cause I want to support you, she asks if I have heard anything from you... I just... you are my best friend... well you and Liza" Drake stated and Delia smiled at him.
"Same with me... best friends for life" Delia replied and Drake looked at her concerned.
"Delia, you are strangely avoiding talking about the news of Ashleigh... I know there is something more if you are doing that..." Delia bit her lip knowing that Drake would want to come over straight away "please tell me, what is the news you had of Ashleigh? What name did you register her under? You have truly told me nor Liza" Drake asked and Delia looked to her front window where she saw some Pidgeys resting on her fence.
"... I use Ketchum..." Drake's eyes widen as she looked back to him "I go by Delia Ketchum and Ashleigh's full name is Ashleigh Grace Ketchum... I don't think even Samuel knows why I use that name or who it belongs to" Delia whispered and Drake blinked before he smiled.
"You... Grace... I am truly surprised..." Drake was speechless at Delia.
"You are not mad? I have not told Grace either" Delia asked and Drake shook his head.
"Nope, you know Grandmother Madeline loved you, she would be honoured you chose her maiden name, but she would tell you to tell your father and to come clean to Ashleigh about finding her and adopting her... but she would respect your choices and stand by your side... while Grace would be over the moon and would hold it over the rest of us" Drake stated firmly and Delia smiled gratefully at him before giggling at the antics Grace would do.
"She was amazing... I am forever grateful to her lessons that she taught Liza and I when she caught trying to work out combos for contests with Liza's Charizard and my Venosaur... Liza won that year I came in second and Lola was fourth..." Drake nodded remembering the Viridian City Contest round "I am sorry I was not there for the funeral..." Drake stopped her.
"Delia, I already told you that I understand why you did not come, I also know that there were some nights you got Liza over to babysit Ashleigh so you could pay your respects" Drake told her and Delia smiled.
"I had a feeling you knew I was going to the grave when I had Liza babysit Ash... anyway, Ash started her journey and then she got caught in a storm with Pikachu, she ended up in the hospital" Delia stated and Drake's eyes widen in shock.
"Damn, is she alright?" Drake asked with concern and Delia nodded.
"She is fine, told me that she knew the journey would test her and she wants to continue... but she will be contacting me in very city or town that she can" Delia replied and Drake sighed in relief.
"Just like you and the storm in Sinnoh on the way to the Grand Festival, your mother was so panicked and running around with worry that I had to have Dragonair to wrap around her to calm her down" Drake stated with a chuckle while Delia pouted before bowing her head at the thoughts of her mother, who sadly passed away just before Delia turned 17 years old.
"Knowing you Drake, you would leave out my mother's antics and just tell Ash about me getting caught in the storm... promise you will never tell my daughter that mini story" Delia threaten grabbing a book from the shelf next to the desk and holding it like she wanted to whack Drake with it.
"I am not promising that, cause you looked like a drowned Rattata... still do at times to get caught out in the rain" Drake stated with a chuckle and Delia shook her head at his antics putting the book down.
"You are a mean horrible man, teasing me" Delia stated with a pout and Drake placed a hand over his heart with a smirk.
"And yet you still love me for your the teasing I give you..." Delia nodded "have you spoken to Lola to alert her that Ashleigh would be heading over to Pewter City Gym to challenge Flint" Drake asked and Delia slapped her forehead.
"I knew I forgot to do something when I got home, I will give her call right after you and see if she could watch the match or even record it for me, as I really would not prefer go to Samuel's lab to look at Ashleigh's Gym battle video recordings" Delia stated and Drake chuckled and shook his head wagging his finger.
"Using your friends to spy on your daughter, very sneaky" Drake said in teasing voice and Delia raised an eyebrow.
"When you become a father or better yet get off your butt and actually go and ask out Philena..." Drake's eyes widen in shock watching nearly falling off his chair as Delia grinned "as I know she was the reason you went out there" Delia stated with a smirk and Drake swallowed.
"How... how do you know that?" Drake asked curious and Delia grinned.
"I overheard Samuel talking to Philena Ivy about 18 months ago, she was talking about the old professor looking for someone to take over and she was telling Samuel that she was excited about finally starting her research" Delia stated and Drake turned red.
"Look, I doubt anything will happen between Philena and I... she is deep into her research, has three assistants and barely contacts me these days" Drake replied and Delia looked at him with worry.
"Do you want to be with her?" Delia asked and Drake got a look on his face that Delia could only describe as love.
"Of course, she... god, she is just amazing and truly calm in the face of danger... she makes me laugh... Delia, I just wish I could... I wish I could tell her these things" Drake stated and Delia smiled at him.
"Then go and see her, do you or the others have anyone challenging right now" Delia asked and Drake shook his head.
"No, Cissy got Nurse Joy to have the league on hold for about 3 weeks as she and Danny are about to under take some exams, while Ruby is... he is learning to take care of Mahri" Delia gasped having met Ruby's parents.
"What happened to their parents?" Delia asked shocked as tears formed in her eyes and Drake clenched his jaw before taking a breath.
"Team Rocket... they wanted the true location of the Crystal Onix... seeing as Adam and Fiona were part of the protectors of the location... I found out that these grunts had gone over to Sunburst, where the legend started and killed Marcello... they ruined his business and I know Mateo is trying to bring it back again but he just... his glass making it not what Marcello's was" Drake explained and Delia looked down.
"Please send my condolences to Ruby and Mahri" Delia told him and Drake nodded.
"I will, you know you should come and visit, I know Cissy and Danny want to see you again, while Luana would love to meet you" Drake stated and Delia bit her lip.
"I will get back to you on that... I best head off and contact Lola about Ashleigh heading her way and to film the battle" Delia stated and Drake chuckled.
"As I said earlier, very sneaky... please keep me updated on her progress... I will check her trainer profile whenever I can" Drake stated and Delia nodded.
"Be safe out there and I promise I will try and get out to see you" Delia told him and Drake gave a side smirk before they hung up the phone.
Delia sighed leaning back in her chair and sighed heavily.
"He has not changed in all the years I have known him..." Delia whispered before looking back to the screen and quickly dialed Lola's mobile, not wanting to alert Flint that her daughter was starting as a trainer.
RING! RING! RING!
"Lia, hi... how are you? How is Ashleigh going? Is she getting sorted for her journey in a few months?" Lola answered and Delia frowned seeing that Lola was outside somewhere that did not look like it was near her home nor the gym.
"Hi Lola... where are you currently? And Ash started her journey yesterday and she made friends with Misty Waterflower" Delia answered still trying to work out where Lola was.
"What? She started already... I thought she journey was still a few months away... Rebecca and Daniel's youngest daughter, my Brock's best friend" Lola muttered to herself and Delia raised eyebrow as Lola was avoiding the question of where she was.
"Yep, I will tell you everything soon, but please Lola, where are you? Cause that does not look like you are near your house nor gym" Delia asked again and Lola bit her lip.
"I... I..." Lola sighed "I am at the Whirl Islands, I left Flint in charge of the gym as Brock can now be the ref for gym battles, he is currently training Forrest to take over in a year so he can go on his own journey... I am catching Yolanda, a water Pokemon as she wants to be a mix of water and ice trainer" Lola explained and Delia felt anger flare up.
"LOLA! You know that Flint will run away from the gym... he did it two years ago when you had the accident and your family nearly lost the gym only saved by Brock who was training his Onix... please you have to get back to the gym... Brock should not be left in charge of all his siblings, especially Billy and Tilly, who if I remember right are 2 years old" Delia stated and Lola winced before sighing.
"I know, I know... but I just... I wanted to feel the freedom of traveling again" Lola admitted and Delia's eyes widen in shock.
"Lola, you are 36 years old and mother of 10 children, you need to be there for them... look, I will give you this offer... return home and be there to watch Ashleigh's battle against Flint, film it for me please and once Ashleigh continues towards Cerulean City with Misty, then you are to contact me and I will come over and help you with the children, but only for one week" Delia offered and Lola's eyes widen in shock.
"You would do that for me" Lola whispered with shock as tears formed in her eyes.
"Yep, I have offered it to Grace, Johanna and Caroline... it is time that I offered you the same offer" Delia stated and Lola smiled gratefully at her.
"Thank you Delia, I will get over to Pewter City as soon as I can, I will contact you once I arrive" Lola stated and Delia nodded.
"Be safe and chat to you soon" Delia replied and the two hung up.
Delia and Lola hung up with Delia praying that Lola got home safe and sound and did not get sidetracked.
Pewter City Pokemon Center
Pewter City, Kanto
4th of Feb, 2019
5pm
Ashleigh was walking towards the Pokemon Center without Misty, who decided to go straight over to Brock and see if he needed any help and even just to chat with him. She entered the Pokemon Center and smiled at Nurse Joy sitting at the front desk.
"Good evening" Nurse Joy greeted seeing her and Ashleigh walked over.
"Evening, I am here to get Pikachu and Spearow looked over as I put some weights on them, to help get learn Iron Tail and Steel Wing" Ashleigh stated and Nurse Joy nodded.
Nurse Joy came around the desk and checked over the two Pokemon.
"You are going well with this, but make sure you go slow in changing the weights over" Nurse Joy told her and Ashleigh smiled with relief.
"Thank you and don't worry I have been told about that, also I was told there will be a package waiting for me here" Ashleigh replied and Nurse Joy got back to her seat.
"What is your name?" Nurse Joy asked turning her seat around and rolling over to the back cabinet and opening a cupboard where there were a few packages there already.
"Ashleigh Ketchum" she answered and there was a small hum before Nurse Joy looked to her.
"Sorry, there is nothing here yet, when was it sent? And from where?" Nurse Joy asked rolling back to the computer.
"Early this morning, before I left Viridian City Pokemon Center and the package is coming from Professor Oak in Pallet Town" Ashleigh replied and Nurse Joy typed on the computer.
"The package should be here either later tonight or tomorrow morning" Nurse Joy replied and Ashleigh nodded.
"Thank you, can I book a room with two single beds for 2 weeks" Ashleigh asked and Nurse Joy nodded.
"Of course, give me a second..." Ashleigh looked down to see Pikachu beginning to bang his tail on the floor before he pouted "here you go, you will be in room 15" Nurse Joy stated handing over the key.
"Thank you, I will return later on" Ashleigh stated and Nurse Joy nodded her head.
Ashleigh headed outside as the she felt the pulse again from Mt Moon and decided that she needed to check it out by herself. She quickly went back into the center to tell Nurse Joy to tell Misty that she will be back soon.
"Could I take a rest for a bit?" Spearow requested and Ashleigh nodded returning Spearow to her Pokeball as she exited the building and began to go over to Mt Moon.
Ashleigh pulled out the phone to let the champions know what her plans were, just not going to say anything yet about the pulsing from Mt Moon.

TheChosenOne - Evening everyone, just letting you all know I am safe and sound at Pewter City Pokemon Center... but there is something giving a pulse from Mt Moon that is calling to me
DragonMaster - Evening, please be safe around the area of Mt Moon... there have been strange reports coming through to the G-Men about strange things happening
HistoryExplorer - Ashleigh, are you sure you want to go there?
TheChosenOne - I think I truly need to go, Misty is visiting Brock helping him out and she mentioned nothing of feeling a pulse... well I did not mention it either, but I knew I had to tell everyone here
OldWanderingHobo - If this pulse is calling to you, then you sadly need to go and find out why... but please keep in contact with us
TheChosenOne - I promise that I will
RisingStar - How far are you away from Mt Moon, Lance?
DragonMaster - I can get there with the help of Will, my Johto Elite four who trains psychic type Pokemon
TheChosenOne - I swear everything will be alright, I will keep in touch
TheChosenOne logged off
OldWanderingHobo - Maybe I should look into getting a psychic type Pokemon that can teleport over there if Ashleigh gets into danger, I just feel we might be needed more than just giving her advice
HistoryExplorer - Now that you say that, I might just do the same, I just feel like it would be best to be ready for anything
RisingStar - I have a Gardervoir, but she does not know Teleport... I might ask a few Psychic trainers I know about getting Gardervoir to learn teleport
DragonMaster - Let's just wait and see what happens at Mt Moon and hopefully she will be alright. At least my Psychic Elite Four member is part of the G-Men and can teleport me anywhere I am needed
HistoryExplorer - At least the chats are saved, so Wallace and Steven can read what we have been chatting about

Ashleigh swore that she would say sorry for logging out so suddenly, but she was curious on the pulse and so she began her journey over to Mt Moon.
Entrance to Mt Moon
Mt Moon, Kanto
4th of Feb, 2019
6:15pm
Ashleigh paused seeing a strange Pokemon standing in front of a tree and she wished Professor Oak had gotten the national Pokedex to her quickly.
The Pokemon was humanoid with a primarily black body. Its head is teardrop-shaped, with a white, bow-like fixture attached to the base of its tip. The black skin on the head opens onto its purple face with a zigzag pattern resembling bangs. The Pokemon also had large, heavy-lidded eyes with blue irises and white pupils, as well as a small mouth with red lips. Four flat, black disks flank each side of its head. The body is split into four progressively-larger tiers, with its head and arms being attached to the smallest, uppermost tier and with a pair of stubby pink feet being under them. Its arms are thin, ending in small, purple hands with white disks at the wrists. Each tier of body has a white, bow-like fixture on its front.
"We have been waiting for you, Ashleigh Ketchum... please follow me" The Pokemon stated calmly and Ashleigh swallowed before tilting her head.
"I do not like this" Pikachu whispered with fear in his tone and Ashleigh bit her lip before nodding.
"That pulse wanted me here, we just have to trust that we will be safe" Ashleigh replied as she entered into Mt Moon, just as the pulsed dimmed slightly and Pikachu sparked his cheeks ready to defend Ashleigh.
"You need not worry about attacks here, Pikachu... there is nothing here currently that will dare attack The Chosen One" the Pokemon stated and Pikachu glared at the Pokemon.
"Do you truly know that? What if there is something waiting in the shadows? What Pokemon are you? Where are you from?" Pikachu asked and the Pokemon turned her head slightly before continuing on walking.
"Nothing will attack from the shadows while my master and I are here, I am a Gothitelle, my home region is Unova... but I serve a greater power... Ashleigh has felt the pulse of my master and you will only have half the answers you sneak as there will be others later on in your journey... for Ashleigh's protection" Gothitelle explained and Pikachu frowned before sighing.
"Is the gift to talk to Pokemon going to be explained?" Ashleigh asked curiously and Gothitelle paused slightly before continuing down the cave hallway.
"Not at the moment, for you see that gift would have revealed itself after another storm that was summoned to test you... my master is concerned what this now holds for your future" Gothitelle explained and Ashleigh felt scared.
"Why would a storm need to test me? I am just a trainer wanting to be the best I can be" Ashleigh whispered pausing in her walking and looking down as Gothitelle stopped and turned to face her.
"My master has answers for you, he will never heard you nor any friends you make along your journey" Gothitelle explained and Pikachu looked at her sparking up his cheeks.
"Are there other tests coming sooner than think?" Pikachu demanded and Gothitelle looked down.
"My master and I do not know now, we know of two that must happen in a certain time, but things are moving at a fast pace... we are lost in seeing what a lot of the future holds" Gothitelle stated before continuing down the cave hallway.
The trio walked through many different cave hallways before arriving at a large cavern where there was a ledge that caused Pikachu to fall off Ashleigh's shoulder in shock while Ashleigh gaped before bowing her head at the figure.
For there on the ledge sat an avian Pokémon resembling a phoenix and a peacock. Its feathers are predominantly gold and red, with yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. There also was a green stripe on its neck, with a bright yellow beak, black rings around its red eyes. The Avian Pokemon also had a feathered, yellow crest on its head. While the wings were folded, Ashleigh could see that they are prismatic, which she remember caused a rainbow to form as the Avian flew. Ashleigh could see that the Avian had darkly colored feet and legs with four toes and long talons.
"Greetings Ashleigh Grace Ketchum, it is an honour to meet you truly in person, you were brave to stand in front of the Spearow flock" Ashleigh swallowed hearing the figure talk.
"You... you... you are Lord Ho-Oh... but we saw you fly towards Johto" Pikachu whispered climbing back onto Ashleigh's shoulder and Ho-Oh nodded his head.
"I am indeed, I decided to hide in the clouds to get here, for I am here mainly to find out if anything is set to change in young Ashleigh's path seeing that your thunder attack and the lightning mix together cause the release of one of her gifts" Ho-Oh explained and Pikachu looked to Ashleigh with a tilt of his head.
"One of my gifts, what other gifts can I expect to get?" Ashleigh asked with a slight panic that she would never be normal again.
"I shall tell her, Ho-Oh" A new female voice stated and Ashleigh glanced over to see a small green fairy like Pokemon and her eyes widen in shock.
This new Pokemon had round toeless feet, three-fingered hands and clear wings on her back. She has a round head that comes to a curved point. She has large baby-blue eyes with thick black rings around them and a pair of green antennae with blue tips.
"Celebi" Ashleigh whispered in shock and bowed her head as Celebi flew over to her.
"Ho-Oh, I will take over from here, but you are welcome to listen" Celebi stated calmly and Ho-Oh bowed his head.
"May I ask why you are, Lady Celebi?" Pikachu asked in awe and Celebi looked at him.
"Please just call me Celebi, I am not the biggest fan of my lady title and I am here cause the answers that Ashleigh seeks I have" Celebi stated and Ho-Oh looked to her with worry in his eyes.
"Celebi, are you sure that the timeline will remain on track?" Ho-Oh asked and Celebi turned and smiled at him.
"The greatest change has already happened, the old time line..." Ashleigh looked up in shock "I will explain as much as I can, there is still things that must happen before you know the full truth, but I can tell you some things" Celebi stated looking to Ashleigh who nodded.
"One of those changes was the visit of Mew... correct?" Ashleigh asked and Celebi nodded.
"Yes, she was... there is something else that I can not tell you just yet... as there will be another test and it will be happen soon before you enter the Indigo League, but I will tell you that your gift to understand Pokemon is part of a larger gift that you will unlock as you travel more and learn more of the world around you" Celebi informed her and Ashleigh looked to the two legendaries.
"Are you the reason why I get the feeling not to say or send things?" Ashleigh asked curiously and Celebi shook her head.
"No, that is not either of us, that is the work of Mew... the release of that will only happen when the next test happens... then the photo of Ho-Oh will be within your Pokedex" Celebi stated as Ho-Oh pouted.
"I would prefer humans believe I am a myth, but sadly things happen or will soon be happening" Ho-Oh mumbled and Celebi looked to him.
"I don't have to release the photo, if you want, I can delete it right now" Ashleigh stated and Ho-Oh chuckled before shaking his head.
"No, you can release it when the test happens as you will have another protector at your side" Ho-Oh stated calmly and Ashleigh nodded even with a small pout on her face.
"Okay" Ashleigh replied and Ho-Oh looked to Ashleigh with a strange look in his eyes.
"There will be two young children that I want you to protect, one of which your mother knows about, she will call you in the next few months to go and check on the child and you will soon find yourself traveling with the young child, while the other is one you will meet and save along the journey..." Ho-Oh stated calmly and Ashleigh swallowed as her heart went to the two children.
"Can I know their names?" Ashleigh asked and Celebi shook her head.
"No, but you will meet them soon..." Ashleigh nodded "the final thing I ask of you is just be yourself and train your Pokemon to be their best" Celebi stated as Ho-Oh turned to look to Gothitelle, whose eyes flashed pink and she nodded her head.
"Before you go, Gothitelle will lead you to a Pokemon that we wish for you to catch, he would be a good protector for you and your Pokemon" Ho-Oh stated and Gothitelle nodded her head.
"Thank you for telling me what you can, so I can try and prepare for whatever is to come my way" Ashleigh stated with a bow of her head and Pikachu nodded.
"If you follow me, I shall take you to the Pokemon that is waiting for you" Gothitelle stated and Ashleigh left the grand cavern with Pikachu on her shoulder.
"Ashleigh, you may tell your support group about what we have talked about, they are there to help you" Celebi stated and Ashleigh nodded.
Once Ashleigh and Pikachu were far enough, Ho-Oh turned to Celebi with worried eyes.
"I am worried that there will be new things at play, things either you nor I can think of... can you tell me honestly that changing Ashleigh's parents has not changed Lugia's prophecy? Or if you remember about who Queen Rin's family are descended from?" Ho-Oh asked and Celebi bit her lip.
"That choice to change her parents was from Arceus, I had nothing to do with it nor did Mew... I am unsure of what you mean about Queen Rin" Celebi answered with a frown trying to remember Queen Rin's history.
"You best go and talk to Mew, she might remember and if she does not then just pray that Ashleigh does not get into anything that causes the old block to break" Ho-Oh stated and Celebi looked to him.
"The only block on Ashleigh is the one that contains the Aura" Celebi stated and Ho-Oh shook his head.
"You have a few things to learn, Celebi, you need to go and talk with Mew... if she does not know then go and talk with Arceus... just know that if this choice made about Ashleigh affects Lugia's prophecy, I shall send him to you to deal with... as I have dealt with him for eons, it is time for other to deal with the pouting Lugia if things don't go right" Ho-Oh stated before disappearing in a rainbow and Celebi sighed before disappearing in a green light.
Mt Moon, Kanto
4th of Feb, 2019
7:30pm
Gothitelle paused in her walking and turned to Ashleigh and Pikachu, who looked at the Psychic with curious looks.
"The place I will be taking you is protected, no other humans have been permitted to enter" Gothitelle stated and Ashleigh took a step back in shock.
"And yet Ho-Oh wants me to have a Pokemon from there on my team" Ashleigh replied with shock and Gothitelle nodded.
"Yes, I even agree with Master Ho-Oh... the Pokemon has been wanting to be stronger and... well the guardian will tell his story" Gothitelle explained and then kept walking as Pikachu looked to Ashleigh with a tilt of his head and she shrugged.
Ashleigh with Pikachu on her shoulder followed the Unovan psychic, wondering what Pokemon was about to join her team and who the two children were, one of which her mother knew.
"I would not think to hard about things yet to come, Ashleigh" Gothitelle stated and Pikachu scoffed.
"Easy for you to say, there are so many unknowns coming that I can not wrap my head around" Pikachu replied with a small glare towards the Psychic Pokemon.
"No, she is right... I really should just pay attention to the current things I... no, we need to do and that is to train for the gym battles, but as many have told me not to rush training" Ashleigh stated and Pikachu sighed before he nodded before he jumped down onto the ground and looked to her.
"Could you put the next level weights on my tail? I agree that it would be best to get Iron Tail down as quick as I possibly can" Pikachu asked and Ashleigh looked at him with concern.
"Are you sure you are ready for that?" Ashleigh asked and Pikachu nodded.
"I know I am, plus I can simply walk beside you and keep hitting the path or any stones" Pikachu stated with a determined tone and Ashleigh smiled at him and took the current 500g weight off his tail and took off her backpack to grab the 1kg weight.
"Please tell me if it is too much for you, I don't want to injure yourself" Ashleigh told him and Pikachu smiled at her.
"I promise I will tell you" Pikachu replied as the three began walking again.
"We are here" Gothitelle stated as the three entered a large cavern that had lush green berry bushes, a small underground waterfall that formed a small lake and some amazing Pokemon from Cubones, Onixs, Vileplumes and so many others.
"So what Pokemon are we looking at to join the team" Pikachu asked looking around and Gothitelle smiled as she closed her eyes.
Ashleigh gasped as the lake began to ripple and a large blue serpent rose from the depths and she felt like having a Gyarados might be too much for her right at the beginning of her journey.
"Gothitelle, I have been expecting you" Gyarados stated looking to the Psychic Pokemon with a fond look and Gothitelle bowed her head.
"A Gyarados, you want Ashleigh to have Gyarados" Pikachu stated looking between the two Pokemon and Gyarados chuckled shaking his head.
"No, young one, I am not the one requesting a trainer... I am the guardian of this cavern... the protector of these Pokemon... I called out to Lord Ho-Oh about a Pokemon that wished to leave but only with a worthy trainer, he informed me that Gothitelle will be bringing the trainer here..." Gyarados looked to her, who swallowed seeing the large blue serpent's eyes on her like he was juding her "I can see that she can go far, she has a good head on her shoulders... yes, she will be perfect" Gyarados stated and Ashleigh bit her lip wondering what was going to happen next.
"I am glad that I meet what you want to see in a trainer" Ashleigh stated bowing her head and Gyarados chuckled deeply.
"Before I call the Pokemon over, you must know that he has history of poachers, well there was only one poacher by the name of Hunter J... who kept trying to catch him due to his different colouring, he had a long journey to get here pretty much forcing himself to evolve to his final form, which is painful for him, so once he arrived the Clefairy that live up near the Moonstone found him and healed him even the forced growing pains he had, then they brought him to me... but I could tell that he wanted something more than just being here and so he came to me a few weeks ago requesting that I find him a trainer that he can protect and be protected" Gyarados explained and Ashleigh felt for the Pokemon vowing within her mind to always be loyal to her new team mate.
"I will be honour to help him with what ever he needs to be stronger" Ashleigh stated and Gyarados nodded his head before looking behind him.
"Your chosen trainer has arrived, please come and introduce yourself" Gyarados called out and Ashleigh listened as leaves were moved by something large and she kept a energy on the calm side.
Then the Pokemon made his appearance and Ashleigh gasped in surprise seeing that Pokemon was a Luxray, which came from Sinnoh and the only reason she knew of Luxrays and their evolution line was due to her mother having one when she was a young girl, her Luxray sadly died of old age when Ashleigh was 6 years old. However this Luxray was truly unique with colouring of yellow instead of blue.
"Luxray, it is an honour to meet you" Ashleigh stated and Luxray looked surprised as did Pikachu.
"Can I ask how you know of my species?" Luxray had a calm authoritative voice and Ashleigh smiled.
"Yeah, please explain" Pikachu said with a pout looking to Ashleigh, who smiled sadly and gave Pikachu head scratches.
"My mother, she was a trainer and she caught a Shinx during her travels in Sinnoh, she was about 15 years old when she caught Shinx and she helped my mother by a top Trainer in gyms and contests, my mother retired from traveling and battling three years before I was born when she was 18 as she fell in love with cooking, she set up a cafe in Pallet Town which turned into a restaurant and then sadly when I was 6 years old, Luxray passed away from old age" Ashleigh explained and Pikachu looked down.
"Do you know when Luxio evolved into Luxray?" Luxray asked calmly and Ashleigh nodded.
"Just before the Grand Festival semi final" Ashleigh replied and Pikachu looked to Ashleigh.
"Can I ask if any of your mother's Pokemon are still around?" Gothitelle asked and Ashleigh smiled.
"There are a fair few, but one does live else, which is her Charizard, who is currently living over at the Charicific Valley, over in Johto and he stays there in order to calm the new Charizard down with the help of his mate Carla, whose trainer Liza is my godmother, my mother told me a few weeks back that if I were get a Charmander to make sure I visit the Valley if the Charizard is not obeying me or even to have the Charizard learn from the older Charizard" Ashleigh explained and Pikachu looked at his trainer in awe.
"I shall come with you, I can sense you have a good and honourable heart" Luxray stated and Ashleigh smiled at him.
"You will be safe with me" Ashleigh replied and she pulled out a Pokeball and held it out for Luxray to tap, which he did and entered the Pokeball.
"Please do not tell others where this sanctuary is, you can tell those you trust about it just do not show it to them, but you are welcome to visit anytime" Gyarados stated and Ashleigh nodded.
"How old are you?" Pikachu asked suddenly and Ashleigh looked at her starter with shock as Gyarados laughed.
"I am 250 years old, I was blessed with protecting this sanctuary by Ho-Oh and Arceus" Gyarados stated shocking both Ashleigh and Pikachu.
"You can be blessed with long life by the legendaries" Pikachu said with shock and Gyarados nodded his head before looking sad.
"Sadly not these days, many of Legendaries find the current times not right to bless Pokemon..." Pikachu frowned "and there are only 6 of us left, the one I see most is a Ninetails who is slowly and sadly losing her mind due to loneliness, if you come across her please help her move on" Gyarados pleaded looking to Ashleigh who nodded.
"I will try" Ashleigh replied and Gyarados nodded.
"Who are the other guardians?" Pikachu asked looking interested and Ashleigh picked up Pikachu with a shake of her head.
"Pikachu, we can come back and you can ask all these questions, I know and can sense that you have many" Ashleigh told him and he pouted while Gyarados chuckled deeply.
"Your trainer is correct, plus it is getting late" Gyarados stated and Ashleigh nodded while Pikachu sighed before nodding in agreement.
"Thank you for everything and I will return to visit when I can" Ashleigh stated and watched as Gyarados bowed his head before returning under the water.
"I shall led you out before I return to Master Ho-Oh" Gothitelle stated and Ashleigh followed with Pikachu falling asleep on her shoulder.
Once outside, Gothitelle teleported away and Ashleigh looked back before smiling to her new family member, she pulled out the phone to update the champions.

TheChosenOne - So that was an interesting adventure and I am sorry that I was so short with you all, logging off before I entered Mt Moon
HistoryExplorer - You were curious about the pulse, you wanted to go and see the pulse by yourself and that is fine, just... you always have to be careful
DragonMaster - Indeed, so did you find out what that pulse was from Mt Moon?
TheChosenOne - I did, after I logged out of the chat, I arrived at the entrance where there was a Gothitelle waiting there
OldWanderingHobo - A Gothitelle, what is a Gothitelle doing over in Kanto? How do you know she was a Gothitelle?
TheChosenOne - Pikachu asked her after a bit of walking as I did not know what type of Pokemon she was, only that she was Psychic as I could hear her voice in my head, anyway she led us to a large cavern where there was a Pokemon hidden in the shadows... get this Gothitelle serves Ho-Oh as he was the one that was sending the pulse
DragonMaster - Ho-Oh... he is still around? This... this is...
RisingStar - What is Ho-Oh? Lance, are you alright?
ShowStopper, TheGemFinder, OldWanderingHobo - Ditto with RisingStar's question
DragonMaster - I am alright, just in shock that Ho-Oh is truly still around... I will admit that I am surprised that neither you Steven or Wallace know of Ho-Oh nor his legend... I do remember when I was a trainer that there was a guy around Slateport City trying to bring up a rally, but I will send over Ho-Oh's legend over to three, what about you Cynthia? Do you know the legend?
HistoryExplorer - I do indeed know of Ho-Oh and his legend, I have studied it with my grandmother as well as legends of the other regions
DragonMaster - I will send over other legends to Diantha, Steven, Wallace and Alder that Kanto and Johto have, even the old Orange Islands legend
TheChosenOne - The Orange Islands have a legend?
DragonMaster- They do, well it is more of a prophecy and I can only remember that it involves Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno
HistoryExplorer - I might ask my grandmother if we can travel over and see the prophecy for ourselves, I will let you all know
RisingStar - Ash, you were saying about Ho-Oh being in this cavern
TheChosenOne - Apparently the pulse was from Ho-Oh to bring me to him so he could tell me things... then Celebi appeared
DragonMaster - Celebi...
RisingStar - Lance, I saw the time that it is in Pewter City, you can ask questions later, this group is to support and guide Ashleigh, we need to know how best to support her in her journey
TheChosenOne - I am not yet at the Pokemon Center and Pikachu is on alert in case of wild Pokemon or if there are unsavory people around
OldWanderingHobo - I am still in shock about a Gothitelle serving a legendary Pokemon
TheChosenOne - Ho-Oh and Celebi warned me that there was a test sometime near the Indigo League, but also I need to rescue two young children
DragonMaster - A test, did they say what kind?
TheChosenOne- They couldn't say, but apparently the gift of understanding Pokemon is not going to be my only gift
TheGemFinder - All this makes me concerned for you Ash
TheChosenOne - I am worried as well, but I just hope things turn out right
DragonMaster - Please contact us about anything fishy cause something tells me that you and your friends might get into trouble, I will alert as many Officer Jennys that I can, just so they know to keep a look out for you
TheChosenOne - Thank you Lance, that does ease my mind, but still I am worried that there might be things we can not control or see coming, anyway I am nearly at the Pokemon center... there was one final thing that happened at Mt Moon... Cynthia, do you know of the poacher named Hunter J?
HistoryExplorer - I do, why do you... did you run into her?
TheGemFinder, ShowStopper - We know of her as well
OldWanderingHobo - I need to go, one of my gym leaders just saw the grunts of Plasma trying to get a rally happening, I need to go and try to stop them... I will read the messages when I can get back on
OldWanderingHobo logged off
TheChosenOne - No, I did not... let me write out what happened.. after the meeting with Ho-Oh and Celebi, Ho-Oh revealed that there was a Pokemon under that he wanted me to catch, to be a protector of myself and the team, Gothitelle led Pikachu and I into to massive hidden cavern and to an underground lake, where at first I thought Ho-Oh wanted me to catch a bloody Gyarados, but Gyarados informed me that he was the guardian of the cavern called it a sanctuary for all Pokemon away from humans...
DragonMaster -Sorry to interrupt, are you saying there is a hidden sanctuary in Mt Moon
TheChosenOne - Yep, Gyarados was blessed with long life by Ho-Oh to protect the sanctuary, he also told me there were only 6 of them left, but one which is a Ninetails is sadly losing her mind, apparently she is in Johto somewhere...
RisingStar - This is amazing information, Ashleigh
TheChosenOne - I am still amazed, but anyway nearly done... Gyarados informed me that of my new family member's story, he is a shiny and was chased from Sinnoh forced to evolve to his final form due to being a shiny, it was Hunter J that chased him
TheGemFinder - I remember seeing from away Hunter J on her Salamance chasing something months ago, but I could not get close to see what she was chasing
DragonMaster - My G-Men spotted her entering Johto chasing after something, but they scared her off and they never found the Pokemon, do you have that Pokemon now?
TheChosenOne - I do, he is a Luxray
HistoryExplorer - They are great protectors especially loyal to their trainers, I hate Hunter J with a passion, I will alert my Officer Jennys, gym leaders and Elite Four to be on the look out by closely for the damn woman
TheChosenOne - I will let Luxray know, I am in my room at the Pokemon Center, I will chat to you all in the morning, good night everyone
DragonMaster, TheGemFinder, ShowStopper, HistoryExplorer, RisingStar - Goodnight Ash

Ashleigh sighed heavily as she entered the Pokemon Center, still in shock about the information she got and Luxray's back story.
"Oh Ashleigh..." she looked over to the desk to see Nurse Joy waving her over "I was getting worried that something happened to you, Misty had come back and saw you were not in your room, she wanted me to tell you that she is staying the night at Slate Family house to help Brock with his little siblings" Nurse Joy told her and Ashleigh blinked in surprise before she nodded.
"Thank you for telling me, I had a feeling she might stay the night there, she told me that she was best friends with Brock" Ashleigh replied and Nurse Joy nodded.
"They are, been close like siblings since they were little... you best head up and get some sleep, I will send a message over to Misty telling her you are back" Nurse Joy told her and Ashleigh nodded before she headed for the lift and went up to the second floor and once in her room fell straight asleep.
Champion and Elite Headquarters
Indigo Plateau, Kanto
5th of Feb, 2019
9am
Lance walked with purpose towards the main kitchen, hoping to find Will in there as the man was a menace before his morning coffee and Lance knew the psychic would be able to help him with the question.
"Lance, is everything alright?" Lance jumped at the suddenly voice behind him and he turned to see a smiling Agatha standing there with a cup of tea and her Gengar chuckling "I am surprised that I caused you to jump in fright, you did not hear me call out to you" Agatha questioned and Lance shook his head.
"No, I did not hear you, Agatha... I am actually trying to find Will, I have a question and a bit of mission for him and knowing him in will be hogging the coffee pot" Lance stated and Agatha raised an eyebrow.
"Well, he is indeed in the kitchen and slowly waking up, may I ask if this mission is it about the strange new phone that I have seen you with?" Agatha asked and Lance looked at her with surprise.
"When did you see that I had the phone?" Lance asked as Gengar floated over to a wall which lead to the intern room and poked his head in and Lance heard screams of fright from the interns.
"Gengar, please behave yourself and stop scaring the interns" Agatha stated with an shake of her head while Gengar just chuckled floating back over to her.
"He is a prankster, you can not stop that... no matter how much you want to" Lance replied smiling at Gengar as Agatha sighed but nodded in agreement.
"Anyway... yesterday, Gengar alerted me that you were pacing in your office and I wondered what caused it, so I went over to check and indeed you were pacing and there on your desk was a phone I had not seen before" Agatha stated with a tilt of her head and finger tapping the top of her cane and Lance sighed.
"Can I tell you later, it is just... there is a bit of story to the phone and I need to find Will before I have video call meeting with Cynthia at 11" Lance stated and Agatha raised an eyebrow at that.
"Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion and granddaughter of Professor Caroline" Agatha replied with surprise and Lance nodded.
"Yes, that Cynthia and I promise... come by my office around 3pm today, hopefully I have the right permission per say to tell you... if not I will send a message to you" Lance answered and Agatha nodded before she walked away.
"You..." Lance jumped again and turned to face Will who was smirking "you are on edge, Lance, it is rare for Agatha or even me to get the jump on you, is everything alright?" Will asked looking at him with concern and Lance sighed before shaking his head being honest with Will.
"I have a bit of a request for you..." Will raised an eyebrow "could you please let me borrow one of your psychic Pokemon?" Lance asked with a pleading look and Will looked surprised.
"May I ask why? Does this have to do with that strange phone?" Will asked crossing his arms and Lance blinked in surprised before he groaned.
"You as well" Lance stated before he begun to walk to his office and Will chased after him.
"Lance, I have known you since we were children starting our journeys, I know you as well as Clair knows you... you can never hide anything from either her or I... heck I bet even Monty or Jasmine would be able to tell you are hiding things" Will stated as he kept pace with Lance before he paused.
"Will..." Lance stopped seeing Will was frozen.
"What is a Mew doing in your office?" Will asked suddenly and Lance looked over in shock and saw indeed that Mew was floating above his desk.
"You can trust all your Elite Four members, plus Koga when he joins the Elite Four for Kanto, you can tell them about the phone and everything, I will talk to Arceus about sorting something out, it will be good for Ashleigh to have others to talk to" Mew's voice stated in Lance's mind before disappearing in a pink light.
"Looks like I have permission..." Will looked puzzled as Lance bit his lip before nodding to himself "can you be at my office at 3pm and tell Lorelei, Bruno and Karen to be here as well, I believe Lorelei is over at the her beach house" Lance stated and Will nodded still frozen.
"Lance, this is big news... isn't it?" Will whispered and Lance nodded.
"It is and I am going to need your help, I already told Agatha to meet me at 3pm" Lance replied and Will grinned.
"You will always have me at your side, brother, I will get everyone here at 3pm" will stated before he left the hall.
Lance got into his office and closed the door with the sign of 'In a meeting' on the door.
Pewter City Pokemon Center
Pewter City
5th of Feb, 2019
9:30am
Ashleigh woke up with the sun directly on her face and she wanted to hide under the sheets.
"Come on Ash, time to wake up and begin training for the league" Pikachu stated and she felt him jumped on her feet.
"Too early" Ashleigh whispered and Pikachu loudly sighed.
"The flashing numbers say different" Ashleigh frowned and rolled over and heard Pikachu fall off the bed "ouch, warn a Pokemon next time" Pikachu complained climbing back onto the bed.
"Sorry about Pikachu..." Ashleigh sat up as Pikachu curled up at the end of the bed watching his trainer look to the side where the flashing numbers were "oh, we need to go and get down stairs and see if the new Pokedex is in" Ashleigh stated jumping out of the bed and grabbing her clothes and getting dressed quickly and grabbing her Pokeball belt.
Ashleigh ran out of her room with Pikachu at her heels and the two went down stairs and over to where Nurse Joy stood.
"Good morning Ashleigh, is something the matter? I hope you know the rules of no running in the Pokemon Center" Nurse Joy asked and Ashleigh blushed.
"Good morning nurse Joy, I am sorry about running over, I was just excited to know if the package had arrived yet" Ashleigh replied and Nurse Joy walked over to the cupboard and took out a small package.
"You are in luck, the post arrived at 8:30" Nurse Joy stated and Ashleigh smiled gratefully at her.
"Thank you and again I am sorry for running" Ashleigh replied and then left the desk to head up to her room before she paused and then went out to the training or battle fields.
Ashleigh sat down on the field with Pikachu watching her as she opened the parcel and within the parcel was the national Pokedex that was light blue and silver.
"So this can help us how?" Pikachu asked as Ashleigh turned it on and she smiled at him.
"If I remember correctly, the national pokedex has more in depth information about captured Pokemon as well as what moves you can learn and even your age" Ashleigh replied and Pikachu looked amazed at the device.
"Well, I am 2 summers old" Pikachu stated and Ashleigh wondered about his life before Professor Oak caught him.
"So in human terms, you would be 2 years old and for me, I would be 10 summers old...can I ask..." Ashleigh shook her head to Pikachu's confusion "no it is okay" Ashleigh said and then she pointed the Pokedex at Pikachu.

Pikachu looked amazed and started jumping becoming excited as the Pokedex read out his possible moves before he stopped and looked to Ashleigh.
"Can you promise me that you won't force me to evolve till I am ready?" Pikachu pleaded and Ashleigh looked to him.
"I promise, it is not in my nature to force Pokemon or anyone really to do anything they do not want to do" Ashleigh stated and vowed in her mind to find a way to get an ever stone till Pikachu was ready to evolve.
Ashleigh then let out Spearow and Luxray.
"Just wanted to scan you both to see what you currently know move wise and what you could learn" Ashleigh explained and scanned Spearow first.

"If you like that can be the next move you learn begin to learn Rain Dance" Ashleigh offered and Spearow shook her head,
"I want to learn Sky Attack next, save learning Rain Dance for another time" Spearow replied and Ashleigh nodded making a note of it in Spearow's entry before she frowned and looked to Pikachu.
"I did not ask you, but what do you want to learn next from you master Iron Tail?" Ashleigh asked Pikachu and showed him his list again.
"Maybe Dig and Body Slam, mix up different moves between the Electric attacks" Pikachu replied and Ashleigh nodded adding his requests to his entry.

"It is interesting to hear what else I can learn, thank you" Luxray was very proper in his speech and Ashleigh smiled.
"You are welcome, what is it that you want to learn?" Ashleigh asked and Luxray looked over the list.
"Mud Slap, yes it might be a type of cheat move, but it could be good to make an escape" Luxray explained and Ashleigh nodded writing it now.
"And after?" Ashleigh asked and Luxray looked to Pikachu.
"If you have gotten the move down, could you teach me it?" Luxray asked and Pikachu nodded.
"Alright then, let's get to work" Ashleigh stated with a smile and putting the Pokedex in her pocket, ready to start training for the league.
Silver - Thank you everyone for reading this chapter, please leave your guesses as to who the two characters Ho-Oh was referring to, one of the characters will not be showing up for a good while but I will say I will hint more when I get to a few sections. Also sorry that there has not really been any battling, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, next chapter will be Brock Vs Ashleigh then it will be Misty VS Ashleigh along with other small things between the fights. Also if anyone is wondering it was the Delia section and Lance section that took the most time to write.
