Lusamine’s Opinions™

After a lot of mulling on my end, here are Lusamine’s opinions on certain people, organizations, and public figures; all of this is a baseline, and will fluctuate depending on different interpretations, headcanons and muses.

The Pokémon Professors

Lusamine has a great deal of respect for every region’s adjacent professors. She considers herself a scientist, first and foremost, and makes sure that she keeps up-to-date with their findings. Professor Oak, Professor Rowen, and Professor Magnolia were all laying the groundwork for their grand research when Lusamine was just a child— while figures like Professor Elm, Professor Sycamore and Professor Juniper were breaking into the field when Lusamine was in her early 20’s.

There was a point in time where the Alola region had considered hiring Lusamine as an adjacent professor, but she declined the position, and vouched for Professor Kukui to take on the role, due to his impressive research surrounding the Z-crystals and how it effected Pokémon move behavior.

Professor Sada and Professor Turo are two scholars that Lusamine holds in high regard. She is unaware of the existence of the Paradox Pokémon and the Time Machine that was built in Area Zero, but she is aware of the tera crystals, and the immense amount of time that Sada and Turo have poured into their research. She considers the two of them some of the most dedicated minds of the current era. And if she were to ever discover what was at the bottom of the crater, she would be offering funding, and some of her best scientists, to assist in any way possible.

Regional Governments

The Aether Foundation has branches in several spots across the globe— but the base of operations is the Aether Paradise in Alola. Because of that, Lusamine only spares attention for places where Aether has a footing. Currently, beyond Alola, Aether is operating near Mossdeep City in Hoenn, and in a modest branch building outside of Canalave City in Sinnoh. She is vying for a permit to operate in Unova, so that she can better study the Elgyem that live in the region. Aether employees can also be found studying Mt. Moon on occasion, but she has not bothered to work independently in either Kanto or Johto, due to certain hostilities in the regions.

That being said, anywhere that Aether operates, Lusamine attempts to keep up with the politics, and works to assure that Aether is seen in a positive light.

In the case of the Galar region’s extremely strict import and export laws, and Paldea’s newly opened borders, Lusamine knows little to nothing about those regions, nor does she have any interest in setting foot into such uncharted territory. Not only that, it would put her in an awkward competition with Macro Cosmos in Galar, and the strict Paldean government in Paldea, which she would rather not deal with. She is also not too pressed about having a presence in Kalos, because from what she understands— a billionaire named Lysandre holds enough influence over the region.

Regional Champions/Gym Leaders/Elite Four.

Once upon a time, Lusamine was an avid Pokémon battler, but she does not have enough time to dedicate herself to the practice anymore. That being said, she does not keep up with the big names in the scene, unless they are household names— such as Red or Leon. Names such as those are tossed around so frequently that she need not look into them. But she wouldn’t be able to tell you who the champion of Unova or Kanto-Johto is, nor is she inclined to care.

The same goes for members of the gym leader circuits and the elite four. Many of her employees follow the careers of these professional trainers, but Lusamine does not personally. She has heard of the more popular faces, such as Grimsley, Malva, Rika, Caitlin and Lance. (There’s actually a few of her employees who are HUGE fans of them.)

The Alolan elite four, of course, she knows pretty personally. It’s strictly professional, however. You won’t see her going out of her way to socialize with Molayne, though she does have an appreciation for his inventiveness.

Organizations

I’m just going to go down the list in chronological order, since there’s so many squads now.

ROCKET is the organization that Lusamine knows the most about, due to Alola’s close proximity to Kanto, and a lot of the shared technology. Her overarching opinion is going to change depending on individual verses and interpretations, but generally speaking, she follows the philosophy of “they leave me alone, I leave them alone.” To her, the fact that Rocket exists in the first place is a testament to societal collapse and the greed of humans, but she can somewhat understand Giovanni’s angle of controlling the world; she can find the logic in trying to control what already exists for the sake of self-preservation and fascination, even though it is something that doesn’t interest her personally. Paired with the fact that both Rocket and Aether have worked to develop new types of PokéBalls, are busy creating new Pokémon through questionably unethical experiments, and the fact that there are several Aether employees who use Porygon 2, a Pokémon that Rocket invented, it’s safe to assume that there is SOME sort of connection between the two groups.

MAGMA and AQUA are both groups that have potential in the race to improve the environment, but the extremes that they take in order to achieve their goals is absolutely ridiculous in Lusamine’s opinion. She thinks that, of the two, Maxie is easier to reason with— Archie reminds her of Guzma: loud, reckless and hardheaded. She believes that, if Magma and Aqua were to stop going at each others throats, and put their heads together, that they could greatly benefit the global ecosystems— however, expanding the land, and expanding the ocean, is illogical to her, and she does not see the long term benefit in changing the terrain, nor does she think that it is a necessary to improve the lives of humans and Pokémon.

GALACTIC is very fascinating to Lusamine, Cyrus especially. He is such a young man, but his personality is eerily similar to Lusamine’s, and he has a brilliant mind. It is unfortunate to her that his ideals are so extremely out of touch with reality, that it would not be worth working with him; the data and technology related to outer space and contacting other dimensions is priceless information for Lusamine, and she would be willing to work alongside Galactic, if the end goal weren’t to completely reset all of reality. After Cyrus’ disappearance, Lusamine would absolutely be interested in reaching out to the splintered pieces of Galactic, with the hopes that their knowledge would assist in her research on Ultra Space.

The full extent of PLASMA’S plans is unknown to Lusamine; she doesn’t know that Ghetsis intends on disarming everybody, except for himself and a select few others. She also does not know about the plan to use Kyurem to take control of the Unova region. What she does know is that Plasma seems keen on protecting Pokémon, which garners Lusamine’s interest. If she were to learn about the full extent of Ghetsis’ plans, she would definitely disagree at several different points, but unlike Magma, Aqua and Galactic, Plasma does not want to blow up the world. She can reason and peacefully disagree with people who have different philosophical points, but she cannot do that with megalomaniacs. She would actually agree that many people should NOT own Pokémon, actually. It would be another case of “you leave me alone, and I leave you alone.” She’d especially be intrigued by the creation of Genesect, of course, since genetic research is something that Aether has a hand of. Colress is also a MAJOR point of interest, because of his involvement with technology and engineering.

Lusamine does NOT know that FLARE exists. She has no idea that there is a fanatical cult that wants to blow up the world. (Why do so many people want to blow up the world?) What she IS aware of, is Lysandre’s major involvement in the Kalos region, and his inventions. At face value, Lusamine would have a great deal of respect for Lysandre’s efficiency and innovation, and perhaps she would be interested in learning more about his plans to improve the region. All of that would come to a stop, however, if she learned about Flare, and their goals. To her, the idea of one human man deciding who is chosen and unchosen, is delusional, psychotic, and narcissistic. In her mind, humanity is already flawed— a humanity born from the vision of one man would be even more flawed. In the end, it is likely that Lusamine would forever consider Lysandre a threat if she came to know of Flare’s plans, and would have an exit strategy planned if the Ultimate Weapon were ever fired off.

MACRO COSMOS, as a monopoly in the Galar region, appears as a powerful business conglomerate that Lusamine would certainly be interested in! She would also offer to have Aether sponsor some of the prospective gym challengers in the Galar region. Chairman Rose and Oleana seem like reasonable, but private people, to Lusamine, which she can absolutely agree with and understand. Socially, they may get along as well. However, yet again it boils down to the “you want to blow up the world” issue. She has no idea that Eternatus exists. If she did, she would be all over wanting to research its existence, especially since the creature fell from the sky, much like Necrozma. The plan to have Eternatus gobble everything up, of course, is where Lusamine shakes her head and decides that Rose is delusional. Not only that, the blueprints to Type: Null were stolen by someone involved with Macro Cosmos— and if Lusamine ever finds out about that, she is going to start a legal nightmare.

Lusamine simply doesn’t know that YELL and STAR exist, and their existence doesn’t impact anything that she is doing, so she has very little care about them— much like SKULL, she would view those groups as nothing but disruptive kids. Of course, she would have a healthy appreciation for the inventiveness of Ortega. The creation of the Starmobiles is silly on the outside, but it is an artificial symbiotic relationship between multiple Pokémon, which is entirely unheard of. Lusamine would be impressed, and likely offer Ortega scholarship opportunities and an internship at Aether. The same goes for Penny, she would find her to be incredibly bright, especially with her ability to infiltrate security systems at such a young age.

Last but not least, the Orre region’s factions, SNAGEM and CIPHER, are not well known outside of Orre and its bordering regions, and so she would care very little about them unless they began to cause her problems. Cipher’s discovery of shadowing Pokémon would certainly catch her eye, however, from a scientific stand point. Her opinion on the entire ordeal? Research is research. She would not vouch for the creation of shadow Pokémon though. It is an unnecessary means of weaponry that, in her mind, does not need to be encouraged. If an organization needs to alter Pokémon to THAT extent in order for them to be powerful, and to take control of the region’s government, then the hostility makes it entirely unworthy taking advantage of the science. Snagem as an organization would remind her of Rocket in more ways than one, and she would be more inclined to reason with them, as a result. Yet again, it is a case of “you do not want to blow up the world, leave me alone and I will leave you alone.”

Hey there! This is a single-muse account specifically for roleplaying Red from Pokemon. You know, the guy.

Feel free to check out the links in this post; they're also available in the blog description.

EXTRAS

This interpretation of Red has been written with years of development. If you're not caught up on his lore it's okay! I think writing a document consisting of every little bit of information would take...an absurd amount of time to set up; lore information and headcanons will be dropped at random.

Stuff you should probably know about him:

Red was previously mute, but after prolonged development and exposure to social situations, he has begun to come out of his shell. How much he speaks to your muse is based on how close they are. Red is fluent in various forms of sign language, including Kantonese and Unovan.

The trainer is particularly gentle, especially toward pokemon. This might explain why he has so many scrapes and scuffles along his body; treating even the most dangerous threat like a frail teddiursa.

Red maintains some kind of "upper access" to the Kanto League; while not champion, he still holds some kind of form of power--mostly as a consultant.

He has more pokemon under his belt--metaphorically, after all you can't carry more than six!--including a Gardevoir given to him by his mother. His team will vary from time to time.

[gildead]

so i know i said i would never address the events surrounding [REDACTED] on this blog. and i still won't. i want to make something clear though, because of the chatter regarding villain muses.

team rocket, logistically speaking, probably had nothing to do with gold's death. i'll explain my reasoning under the cut.

imagine, if you will, that you are giovanni. while you once were the most powerful man in kanto, what with being the strongest gym leader AND the head honcho of team rocket, you have fallen from grace because your criminal dealings have come to light thanks to a smartass kid. you're a smart man, however. you lay low, leave the region for a while. even when your admins try to hold up a radio tower to call you back, you hang back - partially because you're ashamed of yourself, but also because they got THEIR asses beaten by a second smartass kid and frankly it's embarrassing it's happened twice.

now, suppose. you're licking your wounds in unova, having a drink at your favorite hole-in-the-wall. the news flickers on. a horrified reporter reads that the mutilated body of a young child has been found in the johto region.

they put up a picture of the boy. you recognize him. he's the one from the radio tower. the one who stopped your team's revival.

now. pay close attention because this part is crucial. who do you think they're going to start investigating first.

because that's not just a normal boy. that's the boy who beat red, the first smartass kid, on mount silver. the boy who earned sixteen badges and the respect of two pokémon leagues, which house in no particular order: a war veteran, two different ninjas, multiple strongmen, a powerful psychic, BLUE MOTHERFUCKING OAK, and two highly powerful dragon trainers from a long line of dragon trainers.

one of which who helped this boy strongarm his way into your base and is THE FORMER CHAMPION.

SERIOUSLY, YOU THINK THE INTERNATIONAL POLICE IS BAD? HAVE YOU SEEN LANCE AND HIS FIFTY MILLION DRAGONITE? THE MAN BLASTED A HOLE INTO YOUR BASE'S ENTRY, AND THAT'S JUST WHEN YOUR ORGANIZATION WAS ABUSING AND TRAFFICKING POKEMON. WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S GONNA DO TO A GODDAMN CHILD MURDERER, HUH. SPOILER ALERT, IT WILL BE MUCH WORSE.

ahem.

you get what i'm saying though? ordering the violent murder of the kid who beat you the second time around in such a gratuitous manner is a bad move for the guy trying to stay away from the public spotlight, especially after his organization got exposed TWICE. and especially when nothing's been done to red. it's inconsistent, and i'm pretty sure gio HAS some kind of ethical code. even if it's a criminal one.

also gold was friends with his son so was he REALLY that bad a kid?

'but vetra, the executives-' up the shut. doggedly loyal to giovanni as they may be, they are not stupid. archer literally took the L with grace upon getting his butt whooped.

if it was a murder, team rocket would probably have a VESTED INTEREST in bringing said murderer to justice. granted, it's team rocket, so it's probably fucked up mob justice. but that's what happens when you encroach on their turf i guess.

MEET MY MUSES TEAM! / @iruludavare.

near to one of the countless waterfalls hidden within the dragon den's cave systems holds an inlet where a distinct type of pokémon who doesn't often come out unless called upon. it wasn't particularly anti-social, but had come to appreciate the quietness of the systems, enjoying the sound of crashing waves, coming out at night to play with the others. they weren't wild, either, a dignified member of Lance's team who ( like a couple of others ) decided to take a break from competitive battling.

" this is hasyr, my aerodactyl. he may look terrifying but he's well trained and would only attack something on my command. " alright, so maybe he was a bit terrifying, especially the way his jaw cracks open to let out a horrifying screech which shatters the darkened space of the cave. aerodactyl's were once known as the rulers of the prehistoric skies and once were the most dominant species of carnivorous pokémon in the lands - bringing them into the future had been a long and delicate process since the discovery of fossil restoration with some scientific professionals deeming it irresponsible and full of destructive chaos.

it's one of the few times dragon tamers were called in to help with the research. lance, a young trainer at the time, had agreed to help believing it would further develop his understanding of dragons and maybe connect to them on a cultural level. a fossil would be restored and the sleeping pokémon would be placed into an artificial environment similar to what it would have known still in their sleeping state; then, once awakened and used to said surroundings, they would bring in the tamers to calm them down. a lot more went into it and the research went on for years before they allowed other trainers to take on such beasts, but seeing more trainers with them today means it was at least some form of success.

the first time lance saw his aerodactyl take down a different species for food definitely jarred him at first though.

" we met during my kanto elite four training and was chosen to be one of my teammates when the league was cautious about me using full dragon types within their building. at the time i hadn't wanted to argue and hasyr was more than happy to spread his wings. we went through a lot together, his own growth was difficult and somewhat rocky at the start mostly due to how different the entire world was around him. " to go from being the dominant species in the food chain, being able to soar free in the skies above, to essentially becoming trapped inside a small ball and battle in a similarly smaller court without much room to spread was a challenge lance understood.

" we came to an understanding sometime after red became champion and he decided he wanted to spend the rest of his time living like he used to. at the time i was extremely anxious to let go of such a powerful beast in the off-chance someone else attempted to catch them, or he went on a riot instead, which is why he still technically belongs to me now. but he's content, happy even, to be out here. "

About Muse

Kanto, 2004. Green defeated Lance and became champion of Kanto. Red arrived right after, ready to challenge him. But the world stumbled, and Red lost his battle.

Green never lost his championship. Green never failed. From that moment onward, he's been the strongest trainer in the world, or at least so he felt.

Undefeated and full of himself, Green needed more. He heard about contests in Hoenn, and so he found his second talent.

      ❝I didn’t kill his Raticate.❞

[dragoncaper]

📜 📜 📜

Send in 📜 to get a random fun fact about my muse. 

Lance started drinking coffee the day the last champion dropped a stack of papers on Lance's desk, said he quit, and ran off to Hoenn. This was about a year before RBY, and previously Lance only really drank green tea. Coffee tasted pretty terrible (or so he though then) but that level of caffeine was not going to get him through all of this work.

That year through the start of GSC was the toughest and arguably worst period of his life. Being a legal minor (based on the age of majority in Kanto at that time) and trying to manage two leagues was way more than he'd been prepared for. Then, suddenly Rocket was everywhere, and there were indications that they'd infiltrated the League, and he was flying back and forth across the regions trying to put out metaphorical and literal fires. Giovanni's betrayal was a sucker punch, too; he'd always had great respect for him, ever since his time studying in Viridian. He's pretty sure everything would have fallen apart without Red's involvement. Getting defeated by two kids in a single day just kind of felt par for the course at that point.

Then Red vanishes, multiple gym leaders retire at once, and two Elites tell him they're stepping down. Rebuilding the leagues becomes even more of a logistical nightmare, and by the time it's all sorted out ... he kind of loves this job and can't imagine living in Blackthorn again. And is also definitely addicted to caffeine.

By GSC, he’s also very motivated to keep Rocket from tearing things apart again.

A fact that is actually more fun: Lance's first attempt at working with his Hydreigon involved using oven mitts as hand puppets. They later evolved into sock puppets because someone needed the oven mitts and Orochi didn't seem as likely to try to bite him anymore. Hydreigons arguably respond well to this because it lets them relate to their trainer more directly, but more specifically, it gives their secondary heads something to focus on that still relates directly to their trainer.

📜 📜 📜 Gimme.

Send in 📜 to get a random fun fact about my muse.

1) Red’s dad was a war correspondent- and his mom isn’t from Kanto. You can guess how it went because she just showed up in Pallet one day and his dad was never seen again. His mom would tell stories of the incredible Pokémon trainer he was. He had a few Pokémon, but his primary partner was his Eevee. That’s all Red really knows about him. That, and how he takes after him. Whatever happened two decades ago to him was bad. 

2) Red spent a year in Hoenn exploring. He spent a lot of that time with Leaf, but they also drifted around and did their own thing too. Hoenn’s an intense place to live and Red enjoyed it a lot. The shock of a brand new place was something that he sorely needed. 

3) When the year was up, him and Leaf left for different regions. He took a ship across the sea to Kalos at Dr. Ohkido’s asking- to take data specifically on the effects of the drastic shift of cyclonic storms along the Kalosian shoreline. Kalos was pelted by hurricanes the year he shored up, and one of the parasitologists at the University wanted Ohkido to send somebody to protect his research team as they investigated overly aggressive, and invasive worms in the Kalosian Wailmer. The worms showed up when the hurricanes did and it caused some severe ecological damage. The infected Pokémon kept beaching themselves. He was just a bodyguard that went out with the team- mainly to protect from large Sharpedo and agitated Wailmer. The team quarantined a pod and eventually got the sudden mess under control. It took the entire three years he was there and then some. 

They only took Red out occasionally. A lot of the time he was in Kalos, he traveled. He was on a work visa, but he did register as a tourist for the gym challenge. (Couldn’t hold the champion title, but could challenge the four and champion).

He beat Diantha.

The Beginning in Kalos CH1

"We must tell the master we've found them!"  A voice cried as two figures in black robes ran down a hallway lit by torches. The one is the lead was older than the other, with a look of fierce concentration as he carried a printout.  At last we found them, after all those years of nothing and finally, we found them!  The older man thought as he ran a look of fanatic pride on his face.

 “Old man wait, let’s think this through if you’re wrong…”  The younger one trailed as the one leading the way stopped and spun to face him.  Old fool!  He’s going to get us both killed at this rate!  The chance that he’s right is so small that I don’t want to tell the master and have him kills us, him for being wrong and me for not stopping him!  The younger thought before stopping as the older man turned to glare at him.

 “I was here when the young lord was born.  I saw her face as she held him to our master.  I was here when we were attacked by those bastards and the queen and the young master disappeared, when that whore interrupted the lady’s teleport and stole them from their rightful place.  I KNOW their faces!  This is them!” He snarled as the younger back away in fear.

 “Fine, on your head is it if you’re wrong.”  He said he put his hands up to calm his older comrade down.

 "To think this happened because of one single report." The younger man mused to himself as they rounded a corner and rushed down the hallway.

 "And for what reason have you two fools decided to bother our lord?" A sensual voice purred as a pale woman dressed in a red dress that showed off her hourglass figure, twin slits on her dress exposing long white stocking clad legs and high heels who intercepted them.  Her lips were painted a blood red, a bang of her blond hair covering her left eye while the rest of it stops at the small of her back. Her right eye blazed red in the gloom, the crimson eye shadow on her eyelids enhance her glare.  On her ears were pure black diamonds; while around her neck was a Keystone on a black metal rose. While a pitch black Tyranitar stood by her right, a Houndoom with a crown with red stones on it and a collar with a black stone in it stood to her left; both had a sneer on their faces as they faced down the two men.

 "We've found the young master and his mother Lady Camilla.  We literally found them while seeing if the current champion would be a problem in the future."  The Elder said with emotions and a hint of madness in his eyes.

 “So you think you found them this time old one?” Camilla said softly with a hint of exasperation in her voice as her two Pokémon trading looks with each other.  They had thought they had found those they lost before, always one thing would lead to a disappointments and failure before, but both hoped that their trainer’s sister had been found with her son.

 “May I die the death of traitors and fools if I’m wrong about this, but by the Creator this is them!” The elder cried with a look of madness about him.  Camilla looked at him and turned towards the younger man who looked at her with an apologetic look and an expression that said he didn’t believe what his comrade had found.

 “If you’re wrong I might send you to the hospital for a mental reevaluation, but let’s see your proof first before I do anything.”  Camilla said with a sigh and a look was shared with her Tyranitar as she rolled her eyes, she and her team had dealt with many fanatics both within their forces and without, but if this fool was wrong and bothered their master, he might be killed, especially since it was so close to the anniversary of the Invasion.

 With a deranged smile on his face he showed her the printout, a boy with a Pikachu on his shoulder, a Mr. Mime and a brown haired woman walking out of a restaurant.  When Camilla saw the face of the woman her face lost what color she had.  That’s Delia… that has to be her, after so long we found them!  She thought as she got control of her emotions and turning her head she gestured to her Tyranitar to open the doors behind her, before she led the two of them and her Pokémon through the doors.

 They entered into a touch lite throne room, paintings in lining the walls of a two teenagers, a man and woman together the man dressed in formal suit, the face of the woman was covered by shadows but the painting showed her wearing a dress which complimented her figure, on her shoulder was a white Zubat and a Poochyena sat next to the man, a grin on its face.  At the end of the throne room a man in a fine suit sat upon the throne, his face in shadows with a Mightyena curled up next to the him with its eyes closed while a white Crobat was hanging above an empty throne next to the man

 "Why have you disturbed my rest?" A voice echoed from the throne, the dark type opened its eyes to glare at the party as they dropped to their knees before its master.

 "We might have finally found your family my lord." Camilla said, her voice caring not a trace of her emotions.  As soon as she finished speaking a wave of force seemed to press down upon them as the man's eyes focused all his attention upon the figures before him.

 "You have found my son and my queen?" The voice spoke slowly with a hint of anger and rage if they were lying to him.  Camilla glared at the two behind her and older one moved forward and began to speak.

 "My lord; awhile back while checking the results of the previous Kanto Tournaments I discovered an… incident accrued during one of them, one of the trainers had been kidnapped and barely made it to his match, sadly he lost the match because his Pokémon were exhausted before the battle could even begin.  Wanting to find out if THEY were involved I took it upon myself to look into both trainers bios, the victor’s was nothing out of the ordinary, nothing that led to any of them, so I put his opponent on a low priority and only received the report a few days later, an average trainer at his first league tournament but checking his legal history, I saw something that concerned me. He came into being a few months after the attack; his place of birth was recorded as unknown in all the record the agents I sent could find.  Thinking that he was one of the enemy’s agents who took a dive for some reason, I sent agents to find out more about him.  My lord, what he has done, his accomplishments were such that I thought to mark him as either a possible recruit or a massive threat to your goals, but that changed when I discovered he and his mother had a part in the mass Unown incident in Johto. I was finally able to track down footage of the event and finally saw his face, both his and his mothers’. Final research leaves no doubt in my mind; they are your missing family.  Please m’lord, you must only see their faces…" The man reached out holding the printout and the Crobat swooped down, grabbed the picture and dropped it into the hands of the man on the throne who looked at it and the pressure disappeared, releasing the people before the throne.

 "And what name has my beloved answered to these long years?" The figure said as he stood up and walked toward the doors the Crobat gliding to rest on his shoulder as the Mightyena walked behind him as his masters followers hurried after them.

 "Ketchum, my lord, your Queen and son have live under the name Ketchum.  And the impact he has made without his abilities is… remarkable is the only word that could be used.  He rode and saved the Beast of the Sea, he saved the Master of the Sky and this was only what we could find proof of.  It is amazing that one person could have such an impact on the world without more people knowing." The older man said as he hurried to match his lords’ stride.

 "Not to mention the number of hearts he charmed." The younger one muttered under his breath not noticing that his master had stopped and turned and looked at him until he heard the Mightyena’s growl at him.

 "How many young ladies are after my son?" His master enquired as the two Pokémon he was with glared at the fool for his comment.  The young fool began to sweet as he saw the looks the Elder and Lady Camilla and her Pokémon were sending him he knew he had to tread carefully, what he didn’t need was for his superiors to be too mad at him.

 "Many my lord. From Kanto to Sinnoh your child has charmed and drawn to him the love of many maidens though from what the report says, and he even has a modest fan club.  Through he seems to not notice what they feel for him."  He trailed off as he saw his master's expression start to darken and his eyes to grow hard.

 "Camilla, at your discretion you are to redirect any assets in Kanto to my beloveds current residence.  They are to send back a detailed report on her daily activities, her Pokémon and her health.  Find where my son is and send Lilith to follow him."  Their mastered command as he resumed his walk, prompting the three beings to share a look between themselves before following him.

 "Lilith my lord? Out of all the people in your command, you wish to send my apprentice?  Her age alone; not to mention her lack of experience off our land..."  Camilla trailed off as she followed along behind him when the Mightyena looked at her over its shoulder.

 "She is to scan my son to see if he anything beyond his natural abilities as my son were taken from him.  She is to be sent because her team will let her play whatever role she will need to interact with him.  She is to be sent because she is young, loyal and your best student in recent years. And have a Mystic meet the assets before they move to my love’s town; I want to know everything so I may regain those who were taking from me. Camilla, call the other Elites to the castle, all fast reaction squads are on standby for deployment as needed, all patrols are to be doubled for the foreseeable future." He ordered as he walked onto a balcony and the Mightyena came to a halt at the doors while the Crobat landed on the railings before him.

 "By your will and command, Lord Dracula!"  His followers uttered as they left to carry out his orders.  Camellia stayed behind for a few seconds, not moving until her master spoke.

“Is there something you need to say Camellia?”  He asked as he looked at the moon.

 “My lord….Vlad.  This doesn’t make sense, why would they let her go without someone watching her, why let Ashura travel, why take him in the first place?”  Camellia asked as Vlad gripped the railing.

 “All things that went through my mind, nothing that I can think of is good.”  Vlad said.  Camellia sighed and nodded her head.

 “Could the intelligence we’ve gotten over the years be truth, they are divided?”  Camellia asked as Vlad sighed.  If that is true then what plan are those two a part of to let them move about, what are they after?  He thought as he looked at the moon.

 “Look into that, but for now just do what I ordered, if you find out anything….well you know what to do.” Vlad said prompting Camellia to bow and walk away; leaving him with his Crobat who cooed at him.  Smiling at it Vlad rubbed its head, causing it to smile at its trainer before Vlad looked up at the moon overhead.

 "My beloved, soon after so long, you and our son will be with me again, and then they will know the rage of the old, the wraith of those it sought to destroy and condemn to oblivion.  My son I swear" He uttered as he looked down upon both Pokémon and humanoids battling or training in his courtyard, his army readying for war.

  Where could that girl be, I have to find her soon.  Still it was lucky that I already had a few people in Kanto near Pallet, within hours we’ll know what to do about the Prince. Camila thought as she walked out the castle, a clock around her to guard her from the cold.  Lilith had not been in the chambers her student/apprenticeship status gave her, given that she hadn’t gone on a Quest or an expedition for a new Pokémon or a competition earlier in the day, so she was probably with her friends.  The children of Aura might be powerful but when they wanted to play, they were quite excessive about it.  Swiftly moving through the town she noticed a few fliers for a party at a restaurant, a celebration in honor of the Founding Day, knowing Lilith she would have been dragged there by that cousin of hers to find someone.  At the edge of the street that led to the restaurant she stopped for a minute, memories flowing before her eyes.

 “Come on Cammy, Mrs. Lunaras said she’d finally teach us how to get that spice mix right today!”

“Delia, didn’t you say you’d drag your brother instead of me next time Mrs. Luaras has a new class!?”

“I WAS!  BUT THAT LITTLE BRAT FINISHED HIS SHOCKER SEAL!”

“SO I WAS YOUR SECOND CHOICE?!?”  A brown haired female teenage in a black shirt and tights pulled a blond girl with a scowl on her face in the same outfit down the street.

 A smile formed on her face as the memories faded.  That had led to the events where the two of them had gotten their partner’s eggs, showing that once again D had started a chain of events that ended with an adventure and danger, their teenage years together in a nutshell.  But if not for those adventures, she wouldn’t be who she was and D wouldn’t have fallen in love with him.

 “Don’t worry D, you’ll be home soon.”  Camilla said as a blood tear dropped down her face as she walked into the restaurant. Letting her eyes scan the crowded room, she finally noticed a table in the corner, a Lycanroc Midnight form with sunglass on, Lilith’s cousin’s partner.  Time to breakup this party, time to give her student her marching orders, take her to the gate to the plane she had ordered ready when she left the castle, time to take a chance.

 A girl with red and white streaks in her black hair in a modest black dress with purple lipstick and eye shadow leaned back and pushed out her breasts and smiled at a male survivor who walked away with a blush on his face as her a red humanoid wolf like Pokémon giggled.  It had red fur on its body with the section of its face which was white with a mane of fur over its back and shoulders sweeping forward to form a crescent moon over its face with two claw shaped rocks pocking out of the mane just below its shoulders on both sides of its body.  Next to them a figure in a concealing cloak just shook their head.

 “Felicity, do you have to flirt with every waiter here?”  The figure asked as Felicity smirked at them as the Lycanroc grinned and chuckled.

 “What can I say cousin, if ya got it work it!  And besides, not everyone have boys throwing themselves at them.”  Felicity said only for the cloaked figure to laugh darkly as they shook their head.

 “If you know anyway to take him for yourself please, but I know you won’t like it to long.”  The figure said as Camellia walked towards them from behind them.  Felicity put a finger on her cheek and thought for a few seconds before she nodded at her cousin.

 “You know you might be right.  Want to think up a way to get someone else onto his radar?”  Felicity asked before Camellia cleared her throat.

 “That conversation can happen at a later date girls; I need to talk to my apprentice.”  Camellia cut in causing all three people and Pokémon to turn and saw her, a smile on Felicity’s face as they saw Camellia.

 “Teacher, what’s wrong?” The figure asked as Camellia sat down at the table.

 “Yeah Milady, what’s up? It’s Founding Day, what’s the worst that you could need my cuzz for?” Felicity asked as Camellia handed a letter and to the cloaked figure.

 “You need to head to the airport now; you can get what you need there if you need anything at all. Once you’re there and ready Flight 003 will take you where you need to go, the details are in the envelope, only open it once you’re airborne.”  Camellia said as Felicity whistled as the cloaked figure got up.  

 “This is that important teacher that the mission needs this level of secrecy?”  The figure asked as Camellia nodded her head.

 “If she needs back up or someone to send a message I’m it, got it Lady Camellia?”  Felicity said as Camellia turned and sighed before nodding. “Great!  Good luck cousin, hope I’ll see you when you come back!” Felicity said as the cloaked got up and hugged her before moving through the restaurant towards the street.

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 Ash opened his eyes and tried to remember where he was.  He stood up looked around, wondering where he was and how he had gotten there.  He seemed to be in a castle of some kind, and it was night, the moon was shining through a window to his right. The last thing he remembered was going towards his home; he had just gotten back from Unova and could see his mom in the distance.  He moved his arm and went still, what the hell was he wearing!?  He had on a black suit and pants, his sword, shield and Pokeballs were missing and he couldn’t see Pikachu and anywhere around him.  He saw a light in the distance and walked towards it.  Well here I go again, knocked out and lost with no weapon and none of my team, I wonder what the story behind this is. And of course there’s a light for me to go to, a trap but I so love to break them and make those idiots that try to hold me down curse their life choices. At least I might learn where I am and hopeful where my Pokémon are.  He thought as he started walking until he reached the open door the light came from and walked through onto the right side of the top of a two sided grand staircase at the end of an entrance hall with statues of knights in full armor holding shields and upright spears.  Ash walked down the stairs when suddenly he stopped when he reach the landing, he wasn’t alone.  He noticed a shadow falling out of the door on the top left side of the stairs and wondered if this person was who had brought him where ever he was.

 “All right, who’s there? I might not have my weapon or partner, but I won’t go down easy!”  He called out to the figure casting the shadow.  He was met with a laugh that sounded feminine, had an edge that made him feel warm, strange and sounded familiar. Where have I heard this voice, wait that’s! Ash thought as he went still and realized just from who he had heard that a laugh like that before.

 “Misty, Misty is that you?!” Ash cried as he ran up the stairs towards the shadow, only to see it disappear.  He ran through the doorway and notices a door closing farther down the hallway.  How had she run that fast, I know she was in good shape but when did she get that fast.  Ash thought as he approached the doorway he had seen.  He opened the door and walked into a colossal library that took up three levels.  He looked at the book cases and saw the section he had entered near was titled ‘Legends of The World’.  He walked towards the books and ran a hand over the titles, marveling at the collection he was before.  Looking around he saw rows of books from every subject from History to Zoology. Looking through the ‘Legends’ section he saw everything from books on ancient cities lost to time to folklore from varies regions.

“This is amazing, texts from every region, all grouped by subject matter.  This is just….Wow, just wow.  The size of this collection, this is just amazing, the number of books and subjects.  Man, May would love this.”  Ash marveled as he looked around.  Ever since she hatched Manaphy, she’s been looking into this stuff whenever we hit a Center, and she took on quite a few quests to get access to tomes like this, I wonder just how many you’d have to do just to learn about half of this.  Ash thought as he walked towards a railing next to a spiral staircase.  A book was on a table near a chair that was and he looked at it and noticed that Dr. Eve had written it, its title was ‘A Discovered History of Pokémopolis’. I remember that, the first time I fought something that wasn’t alive.  Wished it was the last through.

 “You know I loved Dr. Eve’s tome on Pokémopolis, it was amazing and she had left a dedication to a ‘Trainer with a Pikachu who saved my life’, that wouldn’t have been you was it Ash?” A voice purred from below made him stop cold, she sounded different but that was May, why was she here too?!

 “May? May what the hell are you doing here?!”  Ash called as he ran down the stairs, a melodies laugh was his only replay until he noticed a shadow passing through a doorway deeper into the castle.  He paused before moving after the shadow, his thoughts racing as he stood there.  May’s here too?!  And what was wrong with her voice, it sounded different then the last time I heard from her. And the way she said my name, I  I liked how she said it, what’s wrong with me? Ash shook his head and moved towards the door and followed after his friend, hoping to find out what was happening here.

 Ash left the library and entered a hallway that had a single doorway at the opposite end.  He walked through the darkened corridor and stopped at the doorway, he looked around, trying to find any other way to go then the one he had been led down, seeing nowhere else he could go, he opened the door and entered the room beyond.

 He came into what looks like a design studio of some kind; manikins of both humans and Pokémon were all around with a half-finished dress on a Buneary manikin and a black dress on a human manikin. He saw the dress showed off the top of the manikin’s breasts and had a slit on the right side from the thigh to the bottom.  Ash walked to the human manikin and compared the shade of the dress with what he was wearing, frowning as he saw the shade matched. What does this mean; is there a connection to these cloths and why I’m here? Is this like that time in Kanto when May was kidnapped by that scumbag? But why was I left in that hallway alone?  It would make more sense if it was a dungeon or a jail of some kind and a recording for the scum to gloat.  So what is this?

 “You know Ash, since I met my sister and we talked about our interests and skills, the two of us decided to work together and make a brand. And how do you feel about us wearing our designs for the ceremony?”  A feminine voice from the right caused Ash to turn sharply and move straight towards where the voice had come, hoping he would catch his friend this time.

 “Dawn!  Dawn where are you!?  And what ceremony?!”  Ash screamed as he charged through the door the voice had come from.  This time it’s Dawn!  Who do I run into next, Iris?!  And what sister?!  She’s an only child!  Ash’s thoughts ran around in circles as he looked about for any signs of where she had gone he turned and saw a door was open farther down from where he was.  He looked around the hallway, noticing closed door ways and an opened door that led into an Olympic size swimming pool with a waterfall feeding into the pool with a staircase leading to the top of the falls. Ash looked around and started to get confused.  Okay Ash, think this through,  So far you ‘found’ May in library that she would love, a design studio for fashion for Pokémon and humans where you heard Dawn and nearby you find a pool that Misty would love.  What is this place, a dream home for my friends?  Ash said as he walked along the pools edge, looking for anything that would give him a clue where to search next.  He looked at the pool and noticed a trail of water leading towards a door and nodded, he would follow the water for now.  

 He followed the water through the door and down a hallway, stopping at a staircase.  He looked around and with a sigh he walked up the stairs thinking he was ready for anything.  The room he came into had a small space with a training dummy, a TV in front of a large couch and a glass door to a balcony which bathed the room in moonlight.  Books on tactics, Pokémon, history and law were on a bookcase while a small table with six chairs with a few plates with food on them and glasses full of a red liquid. When Ash moved into the room an incredible aroma assaulted his noise, sniffing he tracked to the glasses and walked to the table where he robotically picked up one of the glasses.  As he drank what was in the glass an incredible sweet flavor assaulted his tongue as he drank the liquid, Ash shock as the liquid hit his stomach. He dropped the cup which shattered on the floor and put his hands on the table and closed his eyes as a wave of contentment and heat rushed through his body, old aches he had lived with for years disappearing as his body shock.  After about a minute his body stopped shaking and he opened his eyes as he panted and tried to center himself.

 “What the hell was that; I feel incredible, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so good before….wait, when were the lights turned on.  They’re not.” Ash said as he looked around noticing that there wasn’t a source of light but suddenly he able to see as if the sun was out at noon.  He suddenly noticed scents that led into the next room, for some reason the scents made him think of his friends.  A cold watery scent that screamed Misty, a hot scent that made images of books and knowledge that seemed to be May, a scent of sweet and fabric that made him think of Dawn and two more scents that he couldn’t quite place.   He followed them with his noise and looked at a door to the next room.   He walked towards the door quietly and was just about to enter it when a feminine hand grabbed him and pulled him into the room and he crashed against a female body, Ash tried to react but before he could open his eyes he heard a voice.

 “We were wondering when you’d get here Ash.”   A seductive yet familiar sounding voice said as arms encircled him.  

 “May?”  He asked as he tried to look towards the voice and was shocked when someone kissed him, a tongue being forced into his mouth.  Ash pushed himself back and felt two pairs of arms grab his arms, blushing he felt two girls breasts pressed against his arms.

 “Oh sister don’t keep Ash all to yourself sister, don’t forget to share.”  Ash heard a seductive voice next to him speak as someone seemed to rub their face against his.  Ash pushed back against the person holding him and opened his eyes, staring at what he saw.  May and Dawn stood there both wearing a red and blue set of lacy bra and panties, both had crimson lipstick on and were looking at him with a look of hunger in their eyes that caused him to feel light headed as he felt his body react to what he was seeing.

 “Like what you see Ash?” Dawn purred seductively as she and May moved towards him as he tried to get away.

 “Dawn, May what are you two wearing?”  Ash asked before he stared and felt a flash of heat as a May and Dawn giggled with a musical tone to it.

 “Oh Ash, what matters is that we’ve finally been honest about how we feel about you and each other.” May said with a sensual purr to her voice as she speed her pace and moved to his side causing Ash to move to the right away from her as May and Dawn moved towards him with seductive grins on their faces.

 Ash walked backwards and bumped into someone else who hugged him from behind.  before he could react he heard giggles from the figure behind him, giggles that sounded like….!

 “Don’t scare our Ash off so soon, our other sisters aren’t here yet.”  Misty said as Ash turned and she locked their lips together and forced her tongue into his mouth.  Ash pushed her off him and looked at her face, noticing her lips were painted a deep crimson and she looked at him with eyes that were filled with…desire? “Misty, where are we, what is this, what are you all doing?”  Ash demanded, only for Misty to laugh, a laugh that caused a strange feeling of….desire to shoot through him as May and Dawn joined in.

 “Why would it matter where we are?”  May asked with a seductive purr to her voice from Misty’s right side.

 “What this is it’s the fact that all of us have stopped lying to ourselves.”  Dawn purred from Misty’s left side.

 “What we are doing Ash, is being honest in the fact that all of us love you.”  Misty declared as May and Dawn nodded as all three looked at him with a look of hunger in their eyes

 “But where are we, this place what is it!”  Ash demanded as he swallowed as he felt his heart beat faster as he listened to what they were saying.

 “Don’t question it Ash, just enjoy the fact that we’re here and that we love you.”  Misty murmured seductively before she kissed him on the lips before darting back as she moved one of her hands around his chest as she moved her head closer to his.  “If you’ve ever felt anything for us, any feeling of love at all, then please kiss me my beloved.”

 Ash’s eyes went wide at Misty’s declaration.  This can’t be real, it can’t.  but if it is then….! He thought before he closed his eyes pressed his body against Misty and kissed her back with force causing her to moan before she pulled away from him, her arms moving to hold the back of his neck, and he saw that Misty had on a ruby lacy bra and panties like May and Dawn. He was transfixed so much that he stared at her as May and Dawn came to his sides and hugged him, both of them planting kisses on his checks.  Ash let himself be led towards a bed and Misty pushed him onto it as the girls climbed after him.   As Dawn and May kissed him Misty looked towards the door Ash had been pulled through and smiled.

 “Ahhhh sisters, there you are.”  Misty’s words caused Ash to look towards the door, only able to see a flash of white and honey colored hair all he could see before his vision darkened  and the room faded out.

  “GAHH!!” Ash Ketchum cried as he woke from a…dream that he forgot as soon as his eyes opened but he remembered a feeling of…love and pleasure?  He had been having dreams he couldn’t remember for a while now, they had started after the……Incident at the Tree of Beginnings when he had used his Aura. He had been feeling differently for a while now, he seemed to be able to think faster, and the headaches he had when he concentrated and tried to remember things he had tried to learn about seemed to be a lot easier to handle since then and he was begging to…notice the figures of his female acquaintances, sometimes he would dream of them in variances of Dawn’s outfit at the Wallace Coup still haunted some of his dreams.  And whenever one of those dreams did happen…  

 Don’t tell me.  Ash thought as he winced. He went still for a few seconds before he looked down his bed and saw the stains on it and sighed, so it had been one of those dreams, better clean it up, he was leaving for Kalos today anyway and putting his bedding away would help his mother, anything he could do to help around here was good as far as he was concurred.

 “Pika?”  His partner asked sleepily as Ash gathered up his blankets from where he slept on a pillow on the floor, after the second time Pikachu had fallen off the bed when they had returned to Pallet he had started to sleep on the ground.  

 “Just doing some light housework before we leave buddy, its’ still early so you can go back to sleep for another hour if you want.  I’ll make sure you’re up for breakfast when it’s ready.” Ash reassured his Pokémon as he left his room.  As he walked thought his house he tried to remember what he had dreamed about, he stopped abruptly when the last part of it flashed through his mind and he blushed and walked on.

 “Like that would ever happen, like they would even have feelings for me with how childish I’ve acted.” Ash thought as he walked towards the laundry room.

 After he put his laundry in the wash he walked down a hallway and stopped before the kitchen, putting his hand next to a picture of him and his mom at his first day of school. For years it had just been the two of them, but he wondered about his father, but he never found the answer. He remember what he knew of his mothers’ past, they had stumbled into Pallet with nothing but the clothes on her back and him in a carrier a few months old, barely past when he needed mother’s milk. People had decided after nothing had been found nearby that the they had been attacked by a frenzied Psychic type and her memories were shredded beyond the point of recovery, she had barely remembered their first names let alone where they had come from, and when no missing person or wreckage had been found anywhere nearby it was assumed that the frenzied Pokémon had hit them with a teleport as she tried to get them away from it after it had taken her memories. Thankfully old man Port had taken them in and they had discovered that she was a great cook, taking over the restaurant after he retired, and under her management it became one of the best in the region, restaurant chains trying for years to either get her to work or train their chiefs to her level or to steal her secrets.

 Dad, where in the world are you, where do mom and I come from?  He thought to himself as a tear went down his face.  His mother’s memory problem had been a plague on their lives for years; the pain it caused her was something he hated with all his being. Sure she acted happy and upbeat most of the time, but whenever one of Pallet’s little traditions came around, she had such a look of hurt and regret that she had such a void of her own. They had tried to regain her memories by sessions with Psychics, both human and Pokémon, even Sabrina of the Saffron Gym had tried to help her as a favor for the help Ash had giving her, but to her complete surprise she had no luck unraveling a single memory.  Sabrina had been apologetic about her failure, wondering as she left if a rabid Pokémon hadn’t attack them do to the way the mindscape had felt to her.  Ash had been worried about that, so he had delayed his journey through the Unova region for a few days to spend them ‘training and studying’ when he had really done a quite circle of Pallet, using some tricks Jackie, a Pokémon Ranger he had befriended had showed him after the mess with Manaphy to see if anyone had been observing the town and his mom, he found nothing so he decided to head out again after telling Mr. Mime to be vigilant, but had been sidetracked with an Emergency Quest for trainers by the local police.  He wondered sometime what had happened to them, what kind of life he could have been leading if his father was around, if his mother had her memories, if they were where she had started to make a life with his father. With a sigh he moves on, a bit further down the hall he saw the lights were on in the kitchen, she was probably awake then.

 “Getting an early start Ash?” his mother smiled at him when he walked into the room and got the plates they would need down as she finished up, her job as the owner of Pallet House showing in her cooking.

 “Eh, yeah I guess I’m a bit anxious to meet Alexa at the airport.”  Ash said as he blushed as he set the table.  I don’t want to tell mom anything about the dreams I’ve been having, the talk she gave me before I left the first time was nightmare inducing enough on its own, and then there’s what she says about the girls! I don’t need to give her any ammo to tease me!  Ash thought as he looked anyway but at his mother.   He saw Mr. Mime leave in the direction of his room with a nod to him, signaling that he was going for Pikachu, giving him a few minutes alone with his mother.

 “Anything new happening at Pallet House mom?   Any new hires or spies?”  He enquired as she brought the food to the table and sat down across from him.

 “Well Joan went on vacation about a week ago so she should be back in a few days from the Orange Islands, I asked her to stop by the farm there we get our oranges from to look over a few things and deliver some paperwork, much cheaper and more reliable than having to hire someone to do it.  We took on a new girl an about your age named Albia, I think she wants to learn how to ‘cook from the best’ but she’s been edgy and skittish, she might be running from someone so I’m a bit worried.  There is a new pretty boy whose been coming to the restaurant every day I’m on server duty for the last three weeks, I think he’s from Hoenn given his accent, maybe either trying to seduce me or spy, I haven’t decided if I act like he’s having any luck or act completely oblivious about it.”  Delia giggled as she winked at Ash who sighed in exasperation at how his mother dealt with those people.

 “And the last guy who tried to seduce you, has he gotten out of that Mental Institution yet? “ Ash asked with a smirk on his face as memories played behind his eyes.

 “Poor Benny, who knew those Beedrills love onions so much, and that someone put onion extract into that shampoo and for his car to break down right next to the colony and wake them all up, that poor, poor man.  But then maybe he shouldn’t have insulted the son of his employer.” Delia laughed as Ash joined her before putting some food in Pikachu’s dish as Mr. Mime led him in as they started their meal and put the local news on.

 A few hours after the meal ended Ash finished his laundry, got his belongs together, grabbed his bag and walked toward the door with a confident walk.  Each League he had challenged he had gotten farther than the one before.  But then as long as he trained his team and kept his trust in them, they would always give it their best together.

 His mother was waiting for him at the door, a proud smile on her face.  Even though it had just been the two of them for years and yes, it had been hard, but they had created lives they could be proud of.  Her son was such a good and loyal young man, always helping people even if he just met them.  And he was so brave, jumping into danger to help people or Pokémon in need; he was just like his father when…  As soon as that thought hit her she slumped against the wall as a terrible migraine hit her as her hands wrapped around her head.

 “MOM!”

 “PIKA PIKA!”  Ash and Pikachu both cried as they ran for her. Ash grabbed her and led to a chair as Mr. Mime got a glass of water and her medicine; she gulped it down and moaned as she clutched her head.

 “My book, I need my book.” She whimpered as she rubbed her forehead.  Ash spared a look with Pikachu before he went to her room and returned with a journal that the local doctor had suggested she kept to write down what she could remember from her episodes, a way to keep hope.  Opening to a page mark ‘V Husband’ she wrote down “brave and helps others“. She looked the book over after she had finished writing and rubbed ‘V Husband’.  A single letter and still no idea of where he was, not a single thought about where she had come from beyond the words “Sea of”, “Moon’s Shadow” and “Time of Love”.   But she didn’t keep those words in this book, awhile back she discovered that the book she wrote in didn’t have the invisible ink drawing she had doodled on the back.  She had had gotten a few different invisible pens and over the years made marks on the back cover when no one was around, not even Mimmy or Ash knew about it, something that she felt was for the best for a reason she couldn’t explain or even think about without a triggering one of her bad attack.

 “You know mom, I could stay a few days, and I could call Alexa and tell her I couldn’t make it. It wouldn’t affect my journey that much to hit it alone without an introduction to her sister.  The airlines would let me change my flight to a latter one without too much trouble.”  Ash began before his mother shook her head,

 “Ash, no.  I’ve dealt with attacks while you were gone before and Ginny is due back later today, I’ll be fine, I’m not on schedule for cooking or waitressing for a few days, I will be fine and Mimey will call Ginny and the Professor if anything happens.”   Delia said as she smiled at her son, he always tried to take such care of her.

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 At the edge of Pallet town in the trees a Weavile wearing a belt finished placing a long range camera pointing toward the Ketchum’s house.  With a smirk on its face it finished tying it to the tree so it would have an unobstructed view of the front and path, everyone who came to visit would be seen and logged.  The Weavile quickly climbed down the tree and knocked on the wood, signaling a nearby waiting Luxray and Zoroark wearing a collar around its neck with a camera on it that pointed in the direction of its head.  Nodding to the Zoroark the Luxray took off into the shadows of the forests, dashing through the shade of the trees as the Zoroark formed an illusion around itself as it moved toward the road, heading down wind, ready to shadow Ash when he left. With a grin on its face the Weavile climbed back up to the tree, stopping when it reached a waiting Noctowl and a Haunter that were watching the house, the Weavil flashed them a smirk that was answered by a nod from the Noctowl and a chuckle from the Haunter before the Weavile climbed into a hollow in the tree where it closed its eyes to rest and wait for the signal for the next stage of the operation.  

 The Luxray ran through the shadows, dodging the local Pokémon until it reached a cabin at the edge of the wood where a man was sitting at a table, waiting for it.  It stopped next to him; he had black hair and was wearing black slacks, a grey shirt with a camera around his neck. With a grin on his face, the man reached down and rubbed the Luxray under its chin before he reached for a laptop and checked the feed from the camera.

 “Camera 1 is operational, we’ll know where the prince is going soon and once we have eyes and ears inside in a few days we’ll have the beginnings of a report for the boss thanks to this plan; you two have a nice lunch and bring me something nice.”  He said as two women left the house behind him.

 “Yeah ‘bro’, keep your shirt on, we’ll bring you back something, maybe some pasta?”  The speaker was a woman with black hair in a ponytail that reached the small of her back, she wore a white tank top and black slacks with black flats on her feet, and she gave off an air of observation, like she knew everything about everything around her.

 “See you later ‘daddy’.” A woman said with a sensual purr to her voice as she followed the first woman.  She wore a tight strapless blue dress that went to her knees that complimented her figure and wore dark blue high heeled boots.  She had on red lipstick and purple eye shadow above her blue eyes.  She had an air of sophistication that seemed to be at odds with the woodlands, looking like she would be more at home an upper class ball.

 “Shouldn’t you change before you call me that young lady?” The man said dryly as he looked at her, causing her to look down and give a small laugh as she sweet dropped. She snapped her right fingers and a black sphere covered her, when it faded a young girl under ten in a red dress that reached her knees with red boots stood in her place.

 “Can I have spaghetti for lunch ‘Aunty Rachel’?”  The false girl asked with a scratchy voice as she grabbed the ‘older’ woman hand and they walked to Pallet Town’s ‘downtown’.

 “Well you have been a good girl lately for ‘daddy Tom’, Saph.”  Rachel said with a laugh as she walked with a smirk on her face.  

RWS Tom talking to Zor, seeing Ash leave and order to follow and

Tom watched them go and sighed

  “Goodbye Mom, take care of yourself and please, go easy today.”

 “Good luck Ash, don’t take to many risks! Well off we go Mimmey.”

 Two voices echoed over the empty road and the hidden Zoroark smiled as it created an illusion of a shiny Pidgey landing on the roof of the house before it followed Ash.  Within the forest the Noctowl saw the ‘Pidgey” land and gave a cry, which caused the Haunter to turn invisible and fly toward the house and the Weaviel to get out of the hollow.  As the Noctowl took off, the Weavile jumped off the branch and grabbed the Flying-Type’s legs as the Owl Pokémon glided to the house as the Haunter reached the building and slipped inside.  As the Noctowl started to hover out of sight of the road the Haunter appeared through the wall of the house and signaled to the chimney as the insertion point for the next stage of the operation.  The Noctowl flew above it and dropped the Weavile onto the roof before it nodded to its partner, signaled it to keep watch and climbed down into the house. With the Haunters help it was simple to set up audio recorders far enough in the vents that they wouldn’t be seen and to slip hidden cameras in the kitchen, the living room and outside her bedroom, no need to get the boss mad about what was being recorded after all. Its job done, the Sharp Claw Pokémon climbed back up the chimney with the Haunter following, when they reached the roof the Weavile smirked at its flying partner, the job was done and went perfectly, time to get out and back to their base.

  Zoroark paused when Ash stopped just beyond the hill, just far enough that they could no longer see Ash’s home over the horizon.  Looking around to make sure no one was watching him he put two of his fingers into his mouth and made a sharp whistling sound that echoed off the trees. Zoroark was wondering when a sudden wind storm buffeted the area!  Zoroak hunkered down and watched as a powerful looking large Pidgeot landed and Ash reached out and rubbed its throat as it purred.

 “Hey girl, how’s the flock? Those bullies leaving you alone or have you had to throw that Fearow out of the air a few more times?”  Ash asked as Pikachu grinned at its teammate.

 “Pidgeot geot!” Pidgeot cried with a look of superiority as it looked down at its trainer, none of them noticing Zoroak watching from the tall grass.

 “You’ve been handling it, great!  Listen I know I usually stop in to check on you before I hit a new region but this time there’s more.  The news said a hurricane was forming and it might come up the coast.  Viridian is shielded by the mountains but Professor Oak’s will have all his barns open for the wild Pokémon as usual so I thought I should warn you first.  Anyhow, how’s the watch been, nothing happening to my mom I should know about but she won’t tell me?”  Ash asked as the Pidgeot shook its head and looked at its trainer.  Ash hummed as he looked down and tried to think about everything.

 “Good I guess.  Then it’s the same as always, make sure that Mom and Mr. Mime don’t notice the lookouts you have watching the house and only intervene if you have too.  Stay alive and keep flying and I’ll tell you all about how the region goes and the next time a tournament is near Pallet I’ll use you guys and we blow them away.” Ash promised as Pidgeot screeched in agreement before it took off.  Ash watched it go and smiled before walking off, neither noticine the Zoroark following them. The as it moved quietly through the grass, the Zoroark pressed a button on its collar to transmit the data back to its trainer, its target was more then he appeared, this might be fun after all.  Ash had been moving at a modest pace but it was easy to keep up and stay out of sight as long as it stayed downwind.  All it had to do was stay close enough to get a look at where Ash went and get away without anyone noticing, with its skills it was so easy.  When Ash reached the airport a copy of the man at the cabin stepped in after him quietly.  Following Ash through the building, it noted that he was heading for the long distance travel section, was he going to Alola or Univa?  It stopped when it saw Ash walk up to a woman in a chair by a door to the tarmac, and slowly move closer to eavesdrop on them.

 “I was starting to worry you wouldn’t make it on time Ash.”  The woman said as she smiled at him as a yellow lizard Pokémon looked on from a chair next to her.  

 “Alexa, hi.  Sorry I’m a bit late; I had to take care of something that happened at home.”  Ash said as he rubbed the back of his head with a small smile on his face.

 “Well they had a little trouble here earlier, so boarding was delayed, so we’re not in trouble.” Alexa said as she grabbed a camera bag that was next to her.

 “Trouble?”  Ash inquired as he looked around, as the Zoroark paid more attention to the surroundings, both of them noticed the signs of a Pokémon battle or attack.

 “What happened here?” Ash wondered out loud as he looked around, seeing cuts in the walls, holes in the ground and a few windows were broken open.

 “They called themselves Team Gaia and…” Alexa started before Ash groaned and face palmed

 “Not those idiots again! I thought that we had been taken care of them already!”  Ash said as he rubbed his face.

 “Let me guess, they attacked the planes because the noise is damaging to Pokémon?  The airport’s on the burial grounds of a nomadic Pokémon group or something equally as stupid.”  Ash moaned as Alexa looked at him in surprise at what he was saying.

 “I’m guessing that you’ve met them before?”  Alexa deadpanned as Ash sank into a chair and held his face.

 “The number of Quests I’ve done in Pallet and Viridian that were the fault of those idiots is mind boggling.  Eco-warriors; the Noble defenders of Pokémon?  Ha, more like brain-dead fools who just want to be noticed!   They caused so much trouble that about a year ago the local police chief finally had enough of them, gathered all the local trainers and set a bounty on them!   I was part of the team called in and I helped the local Jenny on a raid on one of their ‘churches’, their leader started to monolog but Pikachu just shocked ‘em and knocked them out.   For all their passion they were surprisingly easy to beat, I almost felt I had to pay Jenny for the Quest, not the other way around when everything was done.”  Ash said as the call for boarding sounded over the speakers in the hallway.

 “How about you tell me everything you know about them, I know a paper back home that would kill for an article like this. It’s one whose main following are law enforcement, so letting people know about them might be a good thing.” Alexa said as the two of them walked toward the airplane through the doors.

 “Just call me Unknown Trained in the article and I would love to, I don’t want any of those fools to attack mom’s restaurant in retaliation to what I know about them.”  

“Wait, your mom runs Pallet House?” Ash and Alexa conversed as they boarded the plane, never notice the ‘person’ who had been listening to their conversation.

The ‘man’ following Ash noted the plane’s company and number and slipped back out the front doors, slipped into the tall and within minutes a Zoroark, leaping into the trees, using the forest’s shadows and its illusions to mask its travel as it went to the cabin its trained had rented with her comrades.

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 Back at the cabin Tom’s mouth was opened, staring at the screen in shock as he tried to get what he had just witnessed out of his head.   This kid, he’s got a pack of wild Pok��mon to protect his mother.  I…. don’t know just how he got em but man do I have to give him props for that! He thought as he looked over the record from the camera feed from Zoroark and just shook his head as he tried to process what he just saw.

 “I mean I’ve heard stories about the boss’s grandfather making alliances with wild packs, but this? I can’t even begin to understand how.” Tom said to himself as he shook himself to try and get his mind off what he had seen.  He looked at the other cameras he had his team set up and sighed as he saw that so far nothing more then what he had seen over the last day was on them.  So that explains the powerful Pidgy flock, still if he raised that Pidgeot to be that powerful then I can see why he’s a War Potential, somebody that strong has to be investigated so that we don’t have any troubles from him.  He thought as he leaned back.  “And to think I thought that nice cushy job in Saffron would be how I would spend the next few months.”

 He got up when he heard the sounds of his Pokemon returning and smiled.  “Give me a minutes gents, after all that work you did I think I’ll give you all a good meal.  I really, really, hope the girls bring me back something.”  He muttered as he walked towards the door to let them in, mentally going over the supplies of Pokémon food that they had.

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 “This is delicious! You guys are so getting a 5 star rating from me.”  The ‘young girl’ said with a grin as she ate the food before her.  She and her aunt had entered the restaurant and after being led to a booth the waitress had asked if they were new comers to the area, since it was their first visit to the restaurant.  They stuck to the cover story they had created; their party was a brother and sister with the brother’s daughter.  He was a Pokémon Photographer and she was a writer, they were in the area to get some pictures of the local wild Pokémon for a book she was writing about the affect small towns have on wild Pokémon populations.  Since it was the height of summer they decided to take his daughter with them, his wife might stop by from her job in Viridian City now and again for a date with her husband while they were in Pallet for the next month or two, depending on how lucky they were with the photos and her observations.  After that the waitress had made small talk while she took their orders and left Rachel and Seph alone to let them watch the restaurant as they masked it with small talk about their ‘time apart’. The food was the important thing, the combination of spices used tasted like a home cooked meal in the Homeland, either their target was who Lady Camilla hoped or this was the biggest coincidence she had even tasted.  After a while a woman with brown hair in a pink top with a purple long skirt trailed by a Mr. Mime walked in to greetings from both the staff and customers, their primary target had arrived.

 “Afternoon Delia, you’re a bit later than normal and you’re a bit pale, you okay boss?”  The greater asked as the two walked in.

 “Everything is fine Amanda, I just saw Ash off but I had another of my attacks before he left.” Delia admitted with a weak smile.

 “What attacks?”  A female teen with brown hair in a bun dressed in a grey shirt skirt combo asked with a frown on her face as she carried a serving tray under her arm as she walked away from the outdoor tables.

 “Remember the ‘medical’ problem we told you to watch out for with Delia, Albia?”  Amanda said as she scowled.

 “Problems our boss knows she could stay home and rest, we can handle this place without her here.”  She continued as she looked at Delia with a scowl, Delia only laughed and smiled with her eyes closed as the others scowled at her.

 “Amanda is making a bigger deal out of it then it is.  Every so often I get migraines, they’re not too bad and I only get them once every few months.  Oh, Ginny said she would stop by when she returns to the town, let her by when she comes in.  Mimmy we made it so please head back home.”  Delia said as she moved into the kitchen the girl following after her. The Mr. Mime shoot a sharp look at Amanda and left the building, no one notice that Saph’s eyes had flashed a solid black when Delia had entered, or that her grip on the table had tightened after and that she shoot a worried look at her ‘aunt’.  

 “Aunty didn’t you promise to bring back something for daddy?”  Saph said as Rachel nodded at her.  

 “Yeah, and since tonight’s super is basically leftovers back at the house, how about we grab a few appetizers to make it nicer.”  Rachel said as she smiled at her ‘niece’ who smiled back.  The two of them didn’t notice the guarded looks Albia sent them before she went into the kitchen, the same look she had been giving them since they had come into the restaurant.

 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  Tom smiled as a Zoroark walked through the open door; with it back everyone deployed had accomplished their mission.  With a smirk on its face letters formed before it, the information of the flight Ash had boarded.

 “Okay, lets’ see where the ‘prince’ is going? Johto? Nay, he could have walked there or taken a bus. Unova then, its gotta be.”  Tom muttered as he checked the airport’s webpage for the destination.  When he found it, he jolted in his seat before he started too sweet.  The girls are so gonna not like this, I just know it.  He thought as he looked at his screen. Of all places it had to be that region.  With a click and a few minutes to type up a report; he sent the information back home, the jet waiting would get the operative to the target’s destination ahead of him, but it had to be one of the “New Worlds”.  Getting up he started to feed the pokemon, giving them a few treats for a job well done to get him mind off the data he had found.

Tom had just finished feeding the Pokémon and was checking the feed from the remote cameras when Rachel walked in holding a bag with Saph who returned to her older form and started to stalk around as her hands seemed to squeeze something in the air.

 “I can’t believe it! No self-respecting student of Aura casting would ever create something so, so….so wrong!” Sapphire ranted as she walked back and forth. Rachel shared a look with Tom, seeing the worry she had reflected back at her as he shrugged.

 “SAPPHIRE!  You will control yourself and tell us what you saw.” Rachel said as she grabbed Sapphire’s arm to stop her.  Sapphire looked back at the others looking around her and sighed, trying to get her emotions back under control before she started to explain.

 “There are aura seals on her, from what I saw they are holding back her memories, if they hold back specific memories assorted either by word or years I couldn’t say, but they were only starting to break recently, the records show lady Delia was a power Caster so her abilities are probably fighting back against them, however the seals wouldn’t have lasted a month on a beginner, yet alone all these years! I can’t understand how they’re still active!  I thought it was a drug that was affecting her, but seals like this?” Sapphire ranted as she sat down. Tom was worried, this seemed. A beep turned their attention to Tom’s laptop, with a clicks Tom had the camera in question on the screen to reveal a woman walking up to the Mr. Mime sweeping the front step.

 “Woah, woah, who the hell are you lady?!”  Tom cut in form where he was checked his laptop, noticing a figure walking toward the Ketchum residence.

 “We got somebody coming into the Queen’s house, female, she’s commanding the Mime, tall, and she’s got auburn hair.”  Tom said as the three of them and their Pokémon crowded around the laptop to watch the camera feed.  The Mime Pokémon let in a woman in traveler’s cloths with auburn hair in a ponytail with a scar under her right eye walked to a small table and picked up a journal.

 “That’s her! She was the bitch who attacked the Queen all those years ago during the Invasion! That scar on her check was from Lady Camilla’s whip when the tart escaped!”  Sapphire spat as they saw the woman page through the journal, and upon finding the newest entry give a small chuckle.

 “Those seals have to be strengthened to last so long?  It has to be done by a caster, right?  This bitch is a caster, right?” Tom said in a flat voice as the party watched the woman take out her own book and make a few notes before putting the journal back from where she picked it up before she left, walking into Pallet.  Oh man oh man, if I’m right then this is what their using to control the Queen, but the prince wouldn’t have any of her training so maybe something to hold back his heritage….but Aura can activate easier in people born of those who can use it so something to hold it back, but how?  He thought as he tried to think of the why and came up empty.

 “Yes.  Did you send off the report about where the prince is going?”  Sapphire answered just as flatly as they watched the woman give commands to the Mime pokemon.  That that woman was here and in their target’s house and the seals on her had eliminated all doubt in her mind about who they were.

 “He’s heading to Kalos.” Tom said softly before both of the women starred at him before they exploded.

 “KALOS!!!   Out of all the places, he’s going where one of the THEM has a position of power?!”  Sapphire spat out as she grabbed her head.

 “It has to be the one place we don’t have roaming forces!” Rachel said with a scowl on her face as she glared at Tom who chuckled.

 “Yeah but our prince is something else, he’s got one of his Pokémon watching over his mom, a pretty powerful Flying type from what I saw.”  Tom said as he called up an image of Ash together with his Pidgeot as the girls looked at the laptop’s screen.  Rachel and Sapphire only looked at the video before she chuckled.

 “Wild Pokémon to watch over her, I’m betting they are who we think they are from this alone.  So we stay until we get any more orders or if someone attacks us, right?”  Sapphire asked as the others nodded and she walked away, a swing in her steps. “Great, I’ve got first shower then!”

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 Albia sighed as she finished delivering the last of her orders for her tables.  Her first weak was over and today was payday, her Pokémon had helped her by scrounging in the forests outside of town to feed itself but some real food was just what the Zapdos ordered for them both.  Ever since she had been chased out of her home in Johto she had been chased, she had only planned to stay and do some Trainer Quests in this town as a cover, to find a Pokémon to train to carry her over the seas, a Lapras, a Pidgey, a Spearow even a Magikarp would eventually give her something to help her escape, in the meantime this place was just what the doctor ordered.  The Quest to work at Pallet House was from what she had overheard during her shift, was one that was available in bulk in the busy summer months, but sometimes it led to a permanent job being offered.   And Miss Ketchum hadn’t looked at her story too hard, then again what her coworkers had told her about her boss’s past, than maybe she was waiting until she built trust between them to ask about it?  But there was something about her, an echo of safety, someone who would fight the whole the world alone for her loved ones.

 If she had truly thrown off them off, then maybe she could make a new life for herself, at least for a little while.  But there was those two who were here earlier, the younger girl felt like that old woman who had given her the necklace she wore under her shirt.  She had told her that her powers were the result of being born able to tap into her Aura and having an active Element, whatever that was, they hadn’t had long to talk.  The old woman and her team had fished her and her Pokémon out of that river and during a meal an hour later the people hunting her had found them, the woman had thrown a necklace at her, told her it would hide her and not to trust the League.  When the two of them had gotten away she had examined it and discovered a golden stone within a locket, but she could feel something different when she wore it.  As she was debating going to the League after all in Viridian City, she had seen Karen of the Kanto Elite 4 talking with some of her pursers, she had run so fast in the other direction she hadn’t even stopped before she had reached Pallet Town.

 And this entire town was perfect; no long standing feuds between gangs, no Quests to beat back raiding Pokémon beyond the basics in a wilderness town. It was different then her old city, but different was what she needed. The feelings that those people gave off wasn’t what that child from earlier felt like, so maybe she was safe, but that girl.  If the girl was like her, then maybe she should talk to the child’s father, but only after she had an exit strategy ready.  If she was in a position to help someone hid away from those bastards, so much the better, the way they treated their Pokémon, their ‘holy duty’, all of it was just wrong.

 Suddenly she went dead still, there coming toward the restaurant; there was one of THEM, she could feel it, that other sense that had caused them to hunt her, the feel those among of one of those of them who had abilities like hers was walking toward the door.  She went quite as a mouse as a woman with black hair in in a traveler’s clock over her cloths with a scar under her right eye walked past Amanda into the restaurant heading toward the kitchen.

 “Hi Amanda, Delia’s in her office, right?  I came into Pallet near her house and Mimey flagged me down, so after a good game of ‘Guess that Problem’, he was able to ‘tell’ me what happened earlier, so I rushed over here as fast as I could.”  The woman said with a smile on her face as she walked through the doorway and past Amanda, not noticing the look Amanda had on her face as she passed her.  Not noticing the shell shocked look Albia had on her face when she walked in.

 Amanda merely looked at her as she walked through the restaurant, a look in her eyes that held back emotions were being held back by force of will.  Albia went white as her eyes widened, one THEM was in Pallet, and she was friends with Miss Delia?!?  Did that mean Delia’s attacks had more to them than people thought?  

 “Maybe Pallet isn’t as perfect I thought it was.” Albia muttered under her breath as she walked over to Amanda for her paycheck, problems aside; she and her partner need some real food.   But this is the best what for me to live to see a tomorrow. She thought as she went back towards the kitchen for another plat of food.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So basically Ash is that boyfriend who will distract you when you’re trying to work. This leads to Gary giving up working since power surges and basically Kukui and Burnet get to see videos of little Ash and cry of cute.

Ash doesn’t know if he should thank Gary for what he did or not...

—-

Staying in Alola was everything that Ash loved. There were sunny skies, warm beaches, and so many unique pokemon. There was so much to love about the island…except when there were times to not love it. Of all the pluses that were in Alola, there were minuses as well. While the weather was normally sunny skies and warm beaches, ocassionally, Alola had bad storms.

The bad weather meant that Ash had to remain indoors, which was already proving to be difficult to the raven haired boy. Grabbing one of the pokemon’s chew toys, Ash started tossing the ball up and down. “I’m bored,” he announced.

The brunette boy sitting on the bed beside him tore his eyes away from the screen. “You could read, or watch tv or something.”

Ash frowns, tossing the ball up to the air and catching it. “Let’s do something.”

“I’m working Ash. I’ve got a paper to finish.”

“What on?”

“Regional differences in prehistoric pokemon. Studies are starting to suggest that there were Alolan variants of omanyte and kabuto. Just minor differences in colors and some even in texture. Why don’t you read or watch tv or something and I’ll join you when I finish.”

Ash tossed the ball up again, catching it in one hand. “Nothing’s on tv except for Alolan soap operas.”

“What about movies? Doesn’t Kukui have some to watch?”

Ash grimaces. “Romance movies.”

Gary presses his glasses back onto his face and goes back to work, clicking away at his computer. Across the room, Umbreon is curled on a blanket with Pikachu not too far away. He doesn’t look up from his computer this time and continues to type, ignoring the raven haired. Everyone in the house was doing something productive, it seemed.

Ash lay with his head upside down, hanging off the bed. Staring at the ceiling, he directed his gaze at a poster pinned to the wall of the loft. “Do you think stars have feelings?” He asked Gary, the brunette doing his best to ignore his boyfriend. “Or clouds? What about other worlds out there?” Gary winces. He tries once more to type at his document. “Did you know there are mirror-verses? I met a mirror me once.”

That word takes his eyes from the screen. There’s a flicker of power and he curses to himself. Hastily, Gary presses save on the computer before shutting it. There’s another flicker of power which makes him decide to keep the laptop closed.

“Alternate universe? What was he like?”

Ash hums, sitting up. “Crybaby. He was scared a lot. Mirror Clemont was obsessed with magic, and mirror Bonnie sounded like she had a Galarian accent. Mirror Serena was mean.”

“A crybaby Ash?” Gary chuckles to himself. “Was he as crybaby as you were when we were little?”

“Mmhm. Worse, probably. And I wasn’t a crybaby!”

Gary laughs a bit at that. “Trey just said that to get on your nerves. You weren’t, really. Just whiny.”

“Mirror Serena liked battling. I wonder why Mirror Ash was such a crybaby?”

Gary shrugged. “Maybe Mirror Gary wasn’t there to make it better.”

“Maybe Mirror Gary never matured,” Ash replies.

“Maybe Mirror Ash still has his dad.”

Ash goes quiet. His voice softens. “I can’t imagine Mom leaving and Dad staying.”

“Your dad would’ve enrolled you in Viridian Prep. The very same one your cousins went to. Gramps said my dad had wanted me to go there. But Gramps couldn’t justify spending that much on a school, especially if I was going to be a trainer. He’d rather invest it in upper education.”

“Dad would’ve probably made me a pokemon performer.”

Gary snorts. “Little Mister Ashton. Oh, oh, Arceus.” He scrambles up from the bed. He digs through his bag and smirks a bit, holding an old tape in his hand. “Gramps had a few VHS tapes he wanted to send over with me. Some are for my uncle, some family reunion or something. But I found an interesting one.” Gary smirks. “Your aunt was obsessed with trying to make you famous.”

Ash groans. He already knows what is on the tape. His aunt enrolled him in all types of pageants for little boys, and even tried to get him into a few commercials. He came in runner up in most of the pageants, and the commercials never even aired, thank mew. She would pass off each of her ideas as games, which would excite the little boy.

“You should show Kukui,” Gary teases. “And Burnet. I’m sure she’d love to.”

“I don’t think they own a VHS thingy.” Ash holds his breath in hopes that he’s right.

“Boys?” A call from down below catches their attention. “Please come down for dinner.”

The downstairs feels chilly, and it’s noticeable as both professors are wearing hoodies. Burnet is placing a bowl on the table, spoons placed beside. Kukui takes a seat beside his wife and grins at the food. “Mm, Alolan chili. Looks delicious. How’s your paper coming, Gary?”

“Good, until this wurmple decided to distract me.” Gary points a thumb at Ash.

Kukui chuckles. “He is impatient, isn’t he?”

“Very.” Gary nods. “But then the power surged so I had to stop.”

“Mmhm.” Burnet nods, listening to the rain pitter on the roof. “Alolan storms can be quite something. But it is a nice night to watch a movie.”

“Do you guys have a VHS player?” Ash can feel the smirk of his boyfriend. “I promised Gramps I’d bring Uncle Samson some old family videos he wanted to see. Apparently genealogy is a common interest in old people.”

Ash snorts, going to cover his mouth. He knows the other isn’t wrong, after all, his own grandmother had brought up the interest occasionally.

“We do! Er, I do,” Kukui corrects. “In my lab. It’s helpful for when I need to study battle moves from older matches. We could go down there and watch.”

“We don’t have to,” Ash says quickly.

Burnet places a hand over her mouth in a smile. “Why? Are you hiding something Ash?”

“Ashy doesn’t want you to see the home video that got mixed in by accident.”

Burnet’s eyes crinkle as she smiles. Kukui lets out his own smile. “I’m sure they’re not that bad Ash. Come on,” Kukui teases. “When do we ever get to see our champion in his pre-trainer status?”

“I would like to see a little Ash in action. Delia’s only ever sent us pictures.”

Ash groans, shooting looks to Gary. He makes a mental note to tell his mom, knowing that he wasn’t going to get anywhere with that complaint.

“They’re going to be in Kantonese,” Ash reminds the professors.

“That’s okay. I’m sure you’re still cute.” The groans are louder this time.

“Come on Kiddo.” Kukui laughs. “It’ll be alright. We won’t tell any of your secrets.”

Ash is sitting under a large blanket, ready to hide his face as soon as Kukui presses play on the remote. He sees smiles out the corner of his eye, pressing Pikachu to his chest. Pikachu nudges out the blanket and stares at the television. Words flash on the screen: Ashton Satoshi Ketchum followed by his date of birth.

“Is this an audition tape?” Kukui muses.

Burnet smiles. “I had no idea you were a little actor, Ash.”

“I’m not,” Ash replies quickly.

Words are said rapidly in Kantonese as the first clip is of a stereotypical children’s pageant. There aren’t many boys participating. Aside from a few others, most of the contestants were little girls. There’s silent giggles from Burnet. The little boy on screen is adorable, but the longer the video plays, the clearer it becomes that the little boy on screen isn’t very interested in what he’s being told to do.

The talent portion has both professors giggling. Gary, who has clearly seen this before just crosses his arms and smirks. He presses his lips together. The music on screen is short, catchy, children’s music. The little boy on the stage is doing a simplistic dance in a Pikachu costume.

The yellow mouse tilts his head to the side. “Pika?” He looks at Ash. “Pika!” His cry is cheerful and Ash reaches to rub his head. “Yeah, that’s me Buddy. “

There are a few more videos on screen, one ending with a loud cheer. Kukui’s eyes widen. “Is that…is that the Kanto Champion, Red?”

“He’s my cousin.”

“Oh Gary, look there’s you!” Burnet coos.

Gary blushes a little bit, thankful when the screen starts to warp into some failed commercials. “Ash’s aunt was obsessed with trying to make him famous.”

“That was adorable!” Burnet cries out. She places her hands to her lap. “Gary that was a nice treat. Ash, it wasn’t that bad.” She gives him a soft smile. “You were very adorable, sweetheart.”

“Pika Pika!” Pikachu chirps. Seeing a little Ash was exciting, after all.

“I hated it. Aunt Hillary was into the idea of me being a little pageant prince, or child actor. Everything I’m not. My grandmother finally made her stop. So did my mom.”

There’s chuckles and smiles. Gary bends over to kiss Ash on the lips. “If Trace saw it, who knows where the video would have ended up? Misty’s sisters would’ve probably gotten a hold of it. You know how they gossip. Besides,” Gary says, pressing another kiss on the boy’s lips. “You’re adorable.”

Ash scowls at the compliment, but goes into the kiss anyway.

13. Are there any moments of their past they keep secret? (・・?)

Your Muse’s Backstory [Accepting]

Red is pretty open in most aspects of his life, in fact he could tell you the events of his Pokemon journey verbatim since he loves telling the story. However, with his losses such as the time that one kid managed to get onto Mt. Silver and defeat him out of nowhere is one thing he’d never mention.

Sure, he’ll say a trainer is strong, but loss hurts Red on a sort of closer level. He’d say it wouldn’t bother him, he’s not a sore loser, but the implications of a champion and suposed legend losing seemed grim. Everyone who looked up to him will think he’s weak, and then that would reach Team Rocket who would most likely take over Kanto all over again since the champion lost his touch.

Maybe he thinks too much on these things, but that’s the reason he doesn’t talk about losses. Not to mention a letter he got from the remaining Team Rocket members after he defeat Giovanni. They didn’t like that he made them out of a job and wanted to hurt his loved ones. That was the whole reason he left for the mountain, so Team Rocket wouldn’t be able to find any of his loved ones. They won’t know who they were if Red didn’t go see them, right?

Even if he did come back into civilization, he keeps the letter pretty much a secret. He doesn’t want anyone to worry after all. Red is determined to protect his friends and loved ones no matter the cost.

💕= Someone my muse admires or looks up to

Growing up in PALLET TOWN, it’s to be expected that she’d heard stories of the famous trainers RED and BLUE–these stories heavily inspired a young, starry-eyed Selene to keep at her own dreams of being a trainer. If they were both were both small town kids who could become CHAMPIONS, well why couldn’t she do it too? During moments she fantasized of what her future journey would be like, Selene even found herself stuck between which Kanto starter she would be alongside. A lot of her was impartial to Red’s starter–though Squirtle was also a big contender. Even if she didn’t get to pick a Kanto starter, she still hopes to raise one some day. It’s another thing she’d have in common with her HEROES!

Now that she has become the Champion she told herself she would become one day, Selene attributes a big part of that to both of them–she carried their stories in her heart and they gave her strength to keep pushing. 

She practically VIBRATED from joy the day that she got to meet them at the Battle Tree.

And off I go!

Read more because length!

I feel like if Blue heard Barry’s story, he would immediately feel nostalgia- or at least be reminded of his adventure with Red when they were kids! In a sense Barry was in Blue’s shoes- however unlike him, Barry is on his own journey- just like Red.

Barry arrived at Kanto a few months after the HG/SS events (and assuming that the gen 2 protag has already faced Kanto’s League, seen how gen 2 and 4′s games happen at the same time). He might be one of Blue’s first challengers- they are the 8th gym-leader after all! Very few trainers make this far.

Barry is completely unaware that Blue was for a very short time Kanto’s champion. Whether or not he finds it out from Blue is upto discussion!

The trial is going to be rough! And it may take Barry a few tries until he can finally defeat Blue, and claim the last badge of the Kanto region.

Barry won’t tell Blue about his relation to the battle frontier brain Palmer. Should Blue stumble upon Barry’s father, I am pretty sure the guy won’t try to cover up the fact that they are indeed related.

After Barry is done facing Blue, he will head straight to Johto- as in the same day, the boy is off to either Saffron city to take the train. Or he will go through the routes that lead to New Bark city!

They may stumble upon each other again through Johto, but Barry is likely to be with his head deep into his Johto trials.

Their true reunion might only be posible in Unova, during the PWT’s events! Seen how Barry won’t be in a complete and utter hurry, though the boy is likely to be joined by his friends from Sinooh- and just trying to hang around his homeland’s gym-leaders. He will be so ecstatic to see everyone.

The next time Blue hears from Barry will be in Alola! Now as an adult, on his way to take his father’s position at the battle frontier in Sinooh- Alola is the blond’s very last big adventure, before he has to become a real adult in his life.

I feel like Barry might be Blue’s very first former challenger, that he will be up to date with what they are doing! Blue still has a long life as Viridian’s gym-leader and he will experience many similair things, but Barry is the first trainer that he truly sees grow.

“Rescues, you say?” Hazel eyes blink vividly, a soft smile soon forming in accompaniment. “I’ve actually had several rescues join me over the years, also. My first two Pokémon were found beached and in really bad shape, right near Seafolk Village in Alola… where my father and I stayed for a summer.” The pangs of nostalgia tug at her heartstrings, per usual. “Panzu—ahh, sorry— my Skarmory, she came to me one day atop the lighthouse in Olivine, wounded by what looked to be a bad run in with an electric-type. I didn’t think she’d ever fly again… thankfully, I was able to help her through the healing process. She’s with me, as always. Fit as can be.”

At James’ observation, she nods earnestly. “I agree… our bonds are what bind us. Altair is such a pretty name, too…” The dreamy look across her face is suddenly replaced by one of astonishment. “Two circuits, you say? Wow! You are quite the trainer,“ she muses. He really was no amateur at all, and in stark contrast to the typical hot-headed challengers she’s met on her journeys: there’s a humility to him, a lack of inflated ego. Honestly, a breath of fresh air. ”I think I can count on two hands how many trainers have completed both the Johto, and Kanto, circuits. And they’re some of the best trainers in the world. To say I’m impressed is an understatement!”

“The whole phenomena of ‘dynamaxing’ certainly is interesting. A friend of mine, Whitney, is absolutely obsessed with Galarian matches, you see. So I’m a little familiar, although I’m sure you will be the one to ask.” Glancing back at her carry-on, she beams. “Mega-evolution… you’re right, ‘magical’ would be the word. Several of mine have stones, but my Scizor—Hassa is her name—she most certainly gets a thrill from the transformation. It’s quite funny, seeing how worked up she becomes.”

A slight drop in altitude. Jasmine grabs the handle, peering out the window. Buildings begin to phase into view, and the magnificence of this brand new journey swells over her once again.

“You have an incredibly kind heart.” James murmurs, his face softening into a gentle but genuine smile. “Aslan, my Sylveon, I found when I was about eleven as a young Eevee kit. I think he was abandoned by his mother because his shiny coat put the rest of the litter at risk. He was so skinny and dirty that it was only after the nurses cleaned him in the centre I took him to that we realised there was a silver coat under that mess. He’s fine as can be and - pardon my language - still a little shit.” He laughs softly.

“Scarlette, my Ribombee, I found a few years later as a Cutiefly. I think she’d been attacked by a predator. I nursed her back to health and she stuck around. She’s getting on in years now though! And I have my Galarian Rapidash, who I adopted from a shelter as a Ponyta."

At her praise he blushes bright red and laughs, waving a hand as if to dismiss it. “I just-- I just know my team! Really, we got lucky.” He chuckles softly. “And I never went near the Elite Four in either case. I stopped after I got the badges. I just wanted to fill my time abroad and, sadly, I’ve seen what getting Champion can do to people.” 

James hums gently and chews his lip as he nods!

“Any Pokemon can Dynamax, so long as if you are in a place with the energy to do so and have a band, but not all Pokemon can Gigantamax and even of those species who can, most won’t be able to. Its something they’re either born with, or requires a specialist soup that unlocks the ability. I understand why people love it; its certainly unlike anything else most regions have, but-- I personally prefer ‘normal’ battles. Its what I grew up with over in Spikemuth.”

A pause and a nod!

“I was considering-- eventually, trying to find a stone for my Mawile, too. But not until she’s a little older.” His eyes flicked out the window as he smiles. “Oh! Here we are, Hammerlocke.”

The Taxi descended to its assigned square and touched down; the hustle and bustle of the historic city passing them by. The huge castle towered over them not far away as the driver unlatched the door and James gently reached out.

“Here, let me--” He smiles, gently hefting Jasmine’s case and carrying it down the few steps to the grass below. “Would you-- I assume you must be staying at a hotel, Miss Jasmine? Should we go get you settled in and then get to the cafe?”

Above them a flock of Corvisquire passed by, cawing and hooting to one another.
