Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon and If I did Ash would age

A/N: Told you it wouldn't be too long XD There is a nice surprise in this opening chapter. Hope you enjoy it.

Pallet Town

Ash climbed out of the taxi along with Sabrina, Cynthia and Tracey. Once all their bags were unpacked Ash handed the driver 90 poke dollars and watched as the taxi drove off. He was now stood outside his childhood home and already could smell the delicious cooking coming from the kitchen. Ash picked up all his bags and then gestured for the other to follow him. He slotted his key in the door and once inside dumped everything down in the porch.

"Mum I'm home." Ash noticed the Kitchen door flew open and he suddenly found his head being crashed against him mums big breasts. She was holding on to so tightly that he was having problems to breath. All he could hear was his mum crying.

"My little Champion is finally home. Oh I missed you so much." Ash groaned, why did she always choose to do this in front of people. Eventually Ash was able to squeeze out of the embrace and adjusted his clothes and hat.

"It's good to see you too mum, by the way I have bought back a few friends. You know Sabrina of course, well the other two are Cynthia, a Pokemon trainer from Sinnoh, who I met on my travels, and the other one is called Tracey, who you spoke to briefly on the video phone. Tracey has come back with us to see Professor Oak, where Cynthia will be joining me and Sabrina on our journey in Johto.

Delia sighed. "So how long are you back for?" Delia missed her little so much, but she knew he was like his father, he wouldn't be happy unless he was on some type of adventure. However, it would be nice to spend a little more time with him then just a week.

Ash looked into his mum face and knew she was wanting him to say a long time, but that just wasn't going to be the case. "Well the Johto league doesn't start for two weeks, however I want to get over there and get registered, so I would say max six days.

Delia smiled. "Well I suppose six days is better then no days. Dinner nearly ready, I'm glad you told me we would have guest, as I had to send out Mr Mime to do some shopping."

Ash looked confused. "You have a Mr Mime? When? how?" Ash wanted to know the whole story on how his mum was able to catch such a rare Pokemon.

Delia turned back towards the kitchen. "Well I didn't exactly catch it, you see one day I was in the garden, when I felt someone watching me. It was then I discovered it was a Mr Mime, and it was interested in what I was doing. So I allowed it to help me. After that it helped me with the washing, and cleaning, seeing how it was so helpful I asked if it wanted to stay here with me, which made it really happy. So there you have it, my own Pokemon. Oh Mr Mime could you come here a moment please, I want you to meet my son and his friends."

Ash looked to the door to see a Mr Mime walking out of the kitchen and approaching nervously. He noticed his mum was also reassuring him that they were all safe, and none of them would try harm it. Ash knelt down in front of Mr Mime.

"Thank you for helping my Mum, I know how lonely she can get, and it nice to see she has someone to talk to."

The Mr Mime blinked and then answered in a female voice. "Thank you Master Ash, Your mum as told me all about you and your adventures. I like it here, and i'm happy you are pleased with me to stay with your mum."

Ash then stood from his spot. "Mum just to let you know your Mr Mime is a female, not male, also it says she is happy here. By the way have you heard anything from Dad?

Delia was surprised her son could talk to Pokemon, however it must another thing that made him special. "No I haven't spoken to him for about a week, he said there was an emergency at Mount Silver, apparently a group of thieves were trying to poach several Tyranitars."

Ash shoulder slumped. "Hopefully he will ring soon, I want to tell him all about my adventures in the Orange Islands, which reminds me." Ash turned back to his back and pulled out his trophy. "Another one to add to the mantle piece."

Delia took the trophy of Ash and smiled warmly. "You know I think we will have to put up a special cabinet for all these trophies and medals. Now enough talk, dinner is almost ready. Ash could you show Cynthia and Tracey around the house, Sabrina could you help me in the kitchen."

Sabrina walked towards the kitchen while Ash led Cynthia and Tracey around the house. He noticed the spare room had already been set up for Sabrina and Cynthia, and there was a small camp bed in his room for Tracey. "It looks like you are in the spare room with Sabrina Cynthia, and Tracey it looks like you will be staying in my room, but don't worry I am sure Professor Oak will allow you to move into the lab if you wanted to stay there and be one of his assistants. The bathroom is through that door and down stairs there is another toilet and wash room."

Once the small tour was over Ash took Cynthia and Tracey back down stairs where Sabrina was laying out the food on the table. Everyone quickly washed their hands and then sat up to enjoy the meal. Ash had really missed his mum cooking, while they had been in the Orange Island all the cooking had been left to him, and there had been a few times when the group had gone hungry for the night because he had burnt the food. However over time, Ash got better and better, Sabrina even told him that several meals were as good, if not better than Brock's cooking.

"By the way Ash, I forgot to mention, Brock is staying at the lab, he arrived back a few days ago. I tried to ask him what had happened but soon as I mentioned the name of the professor he had been staying with, his mood suddenly changed and he became very withdrawn. So I advice caution when asking him what happened over there. Also I have had reporters on the phone wanting interview and pictures. I told them where you were and they asked they I call them back when you got back here. Do you want me to call them?"

Ash froze and quickly shook his head, he didn't want another episode like the Indigo Plateau Championship. "No mum, I don't need any trouble from press or photographers, I just want to be Ash Ketchum, future Pokemon master.

Delia smiled over the table at her son, she was pleased Ash wasn't craving the media and attention, this had been one of the things that had worried her about Ash becoming so famous, that the fame would go right to his head. However, it seems her fears were unfounded. "Glad to hear you say that young man, now once you finish your dinner you can have some dessert.

After Dinner Ash, Sabrina, Cynthia and Tracey helped Delia do the washing up. They then retired to the lounge and watched some TV. Around 11pm Ash yawned and everyone decided it was time for bed. Ash gave Sabrina and Cynthia a nice long snog out of the view of his mum, he still wasn't sure how he was going to tell her that he was dating both girls. once he had kissed them, he walked into his room to see Tracey was looking around his room.

"Hey Tracey, do want the bed or the camp bed? it doesn't really matter to me." Ash noticed the boy placed his bag on the camp bed.

"This is fine Ash, thanks again for letting me stay with you. Is that your dad?" Ash noticed Tracey was looking at a photo on his bedside table. it was of him and his dad when he was little. they were both in the garden playing with his fathers Pidgeotto which had now evolved into Pidgeot.

"Yeah that's him. He works as a Pokemon Rangers. His jobs takes up a lot of his time. However I did see him a few months ago when I won the Indigo Plateau championship. He came to watch me in the finals. Anyway we better get to bed, you don't want to meet Professor Oak all grumpy tomorrow do you."

That snapped Tracey back to action, he quickly slipped out of his clothes and laid out his sleeping back before squeezing into it. He noticed Ash had climbed into his bed and Pikachu was curled up at the foot of his bed. Tracey laid back on the pillow thinking of what he was going to say and show to the Professor tomorrow. He had been a huge fan all his life, and tomorrow he was finally going to meet his idol.

Next Day Professor Oak Lab.

Ash raced up the steps to the lab and opened the main doors. "Professor Oak, Its Ash, I'm back from the Orange Island, and I have the GS ball you wanted." Ash heard a lot of noise coming from one of the corners of the lab. He then noticed Professor Oak, appeared in front of him tangled in wires and goodness knows what else.

"Ash my lad, its good to see you, sorry about the mess, but I was conducting an experiment and it all went haywire. Did I hear you say that you had the GS ball. Good show, I been waiting a while to analyse that, please come in. You know your way around. The rest of your Pokemon are outside in the back."

Ash handed the Professor the GS ball, he then turned to the people behind him. "Professor I want to introduce you to Cynthia and Tracey. Cynthia is joining me and Sabrina on our Johto journey and Tracey here is the boy who wanted to meet you and show you his sketches. You know Sabrina already of course."

The Professor inclined his head to each one. "A pleasure to see all of you, especially you Tracey, I understand from Ash that you want to become one of my assistants. I could do with the help, especially with the Pokemon I have here. That and I am interested in looking through your drawings. Huh yes that what I forgot to mention, Ash you must do something about your Umbreon, those two have been breeding like Rattatas. I already have a litter of seven outside in the fields, and goodness knows how many eggs."

Ash lowered his head and looked to Sabrina. "Sorry Professor we will take care of that straight away, also did you manage to see my latest three captures?"

Professor Oak nodded once more. "Indeed I did Ash, the amount of encounters you are having with legendary Pokemon is very surprising, not to mention capturing them. I was surprised to see you now had all three Kanto legendary bird Pokemon. Anyway we can discuss more later, now I must get back to this experiment, Tracey do you wish to join me?"

Tracey eyes lit up. "Yes please Sir, I mean Professor Oak." The old professor chuckled and led Tracey away leaving Ash, Sabrina and Cynthia. They made there way over towards the small pen that now had both Umbreon and Espeon curled up next to each other. It broke Ash and Sabrina heart to separate the them, but the Professor was right, there were too many Eevees and eggs laying around the lab. suddenly Ash had a great idea.

"Hey Cynthia would you like one of the our Eevees?"

Cynthia eyes sparkled and she hugged Ash and gave him a kiss. "Oh yes please Ash, I have always wanted my own Eevee."

Ash recalled Umbreon and Sabrina recalled Espeon, the three trainers then made their way outside into the field at the back. Dozen of Pokemon could be seen just enjoying the weather or lounging around. Ash spotted his Pokemon and noticed the Professor had made a special pen for all the Eevee. It was then Ash noticed Brock was feeding a few baby Pokemon on a bench.

"Hey Brock!" Ash walked over to his old travelling buddy and noticed the smile that appeared on his face. However he soon went back to feeding the small baby Pichu he now held in his hand.

"Hey Ash, been a while. I see you wasted no time in picking up a new travelling companion. A pretty one at that." Ash noticed Cynthia blushed. Ash turned back to Brock.

"Yeah, you remember the girl I told you I saved in Viridian with Misty, well this is that girl. Her name is Cynthia she is also the other girl who is part of the bond I share with Sabrina. We decided to all travel to Johto together. I'm surprised you're here, last time we saw you was when we left you with Professor Ivy..."

Brock's head suddenly dropped and he shivered. "Please Ash don't ask about that, just know I am back and looking forward to going to university to study to become a Pokemon doctor and breeder. It looks like you managed without me, cooking wise, you don't seem to have lost any weight."

Ash heard Sabrina and Cynthia snigger, causing Ash to blush. "No, but it would have been better if you were there, a couple of times I burnt the dinner and we had to go without out. Anyway I will leave to your feeding, going to go see how my other Pokemon are doing."

Ash left Brock and walked over towards where all his Pokemon were playing together, Soon as they saw Ash they all came running up towards him. Growlithe tackled him to the ground and gave him a good tongue licking. while Zorua did the same to the other cheek.

"Good to see you too, Growlithe, i see you have been working on your tackle attack. There a good boy." Growlithe panted and just enjoyed his dad given him some attention.

We've missed you dad, how uncle Pikachu and Sis?"

Ash smiled and then pulled out of all the balls from his belt. "Well why don't you see for yourself. "Everyone come on out!" Ash threw all the balls up and they all opened to reveal his Pokemon. The three legendary Bird Pokemon all perched on a nearby tree and noticed the other Pokemon were looking at them with wide eyes.

"Yeah sorry guys, forgot to mention these three. Everyone I want to introduce you to Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno. Also this is Lapras and Snorlax. The rest you already know."

Ash noticed Cynthia looking at all his Pokemon, however her eyes had fallen upon Mew and Darkrai. Being from Sinnoh she had regonised the Darkness legendary right away.

"Ash where did you get Darkrai? I thought he could only be found in Sinnoh?" Ash just shrugged is shoulder, and noticed Darkrai approached him.

"Actually I caught him on Cinnabar island. he told me that he had been spent by Arceus and that I was to battle him, and If I won then I could capture him. Anyway why don't you all let your Pokemon out, plus you need to choose an Eevee."

Sabrina and opened her Poke ball and out of them appeared her Alakazam, and Litwick, which had now evolved into Lampent. The ghost/fire duel type hovered closely next to Sabrina. When Espeon was released it was looking around and soon spotted Umbreon, who was already running over towards her. Both began to nuzzle each other causing a few tears to form amongst the other Pokemon. Cynthia then released her Pokemon, out came Lucario, Spirtomb, Gabite, Milotic, Togekiss and Roserade. She then walked over to the pen to see all the Eevee. Ash opened his Pokedex and pointed it at each of the Eevees seeing what nature and what moves, plus it's gender. it looked like they had all learnt baton pass, and Shadow ball, along with the other egg moves they could learn.

"I suppose it all depends on what you want to evolve it into. Those three over there are female and the four over here are male. The female natures are Modest, Relaxed and finally Naughty, the boys are adamant, bold, timid and Jolly. the all know Shadow ball and baton pass and yawn. So which one do you want?"

Cynthia noticed they all come over to her and allowed her to pet them. Finally she picked one up and showed Ash, "This one."

Ash scanned it. "Eevee the evolution Pokemon, this Pokemon is female, and it has a modest nature. It knows Tackle, helping hand, Shadow ball, baton pass, growl, Curse.

"Wow nice choice. Now what to do with the rest of you. I know, Ash opened his bag and pulled out the box of evolution stones he had been given suddenly one fell from the box and rolled towards the Eevee that Cynthia had been holding. The stone looked like a dazzling gem. Cynthia noticed her Eevee jumped out of her arms and approached the stone.

"Cynthia watch out!" It was too late the little Eevee had already touched the stone and was now evolving. Ash and Cynthia stood back and watched it grow, Ash was the first to notice it was larger than an Espeon, what on earth was it evolving into. Just then the light died down and Ash and Cynthia stood stunned as standing before them was a Pokemon that neither of them had ever seen. The Pokemon stood on four legs, and was white and pink. it had two large pink ears and sparkling blue eyes. Ash noticed it had two long piece of fur that curled around it neck to look like a scarf. Ash pointed his Pokedex at the Pokemon.

"Pokemon Unknown, insufficient data" Ash knelt down by the cute looking Pokemon, it reminded him of Delcatty. "Can you tell me what you are?"

The cute Pokemon blue eyes locked with Ash brown eyes. It then said in a small cute voice.

"I'm Slyveon"

A/N: Someone gave me the idea of one of the Eevee evolving into a Slyveon, (please the person reads this then PM so I can give you credit for the idea.) however I decided to give it to Cynthia. Hope you liked the little surprise. There may be a few more Kalos Pokemon that make an appearance, but no mega evolution.
