Now there are two polls up…

The first of these is who Ash and Rina should travel with while they're doing the Kanto League Run as I'm going to have Serena go through all the regions and the Orange Islands

Brock

Misty

Ritchie

OC

(If Misty doesn't win this, they will still meet her, have to battle her and she may or may not end up stalking them up to a point)

The second poll is which one of Aiden's Pokémon should have eggs that Ash gets

Charizard

Raichu

Greninja

Pangoro

Chesnaught

Pidgeot

Also, Ash WILL NOT GET THIRTY FREAKIN' TAUROS! THAT WAS JUST OVERKILL! He will get TWO but the others he gets at the Safari Zone are a secret

Another thing is…the Pokémon that Aiden had with him when he died will be revealed in this chapter but it will be revealed to the professors only (as a flashback) as the children won't find out until a week before their trip

I'm not sure if it was mentioned but it was just Aiden who died-the Pokémon that was with him is still alive and with Delia but he won't be seen until the end of this chapter and sees Rina

Chapter 1:

Two weeks was all it took for the four eggs to hatch because they were already close to hatching before the shipwreck, Delia had all four of the eggs in a special section of the ranch where eggs were there to hatch with their mothers watching.

The second the three eggs hatched, there were two Ralts and a single Riolu who was a different color.

It seemed for the Riolu the colors were reverse, where it was black it was blue, and for where it was blue it was black.

It didn't seem to matter to Lucario-that was her baby and he will always be her baby. It seemed, however, that the fourth egg did hatch while at the window and the little creature-which was shockingly an Eevee-saw Rina.

Rina seemed to have a connection to it and as she placed her hand on the window, the Eevee copied her movements before Rina ran inside.

As Rina and the Eevee were playing, the female Ralts wanted to play with her while Ash, the baby Riolu and male Ralts were playing.

It was a sight that Delia wished that Aiden could see and experience but she knew that his soul was at peace.

She hated lying to the children by saying that the legendaries were fighting when the reality was worst.

He was a G-Man and it was due to him that Teams Rocket, Galactic and Flare as well as Hunter J were not only imprisoned but on death row.

She could feel her sorrow roll through her but a calming hand made her look at Gardevoir who knew what she was going through.

Her beloved Gallade had also died, protecting a group of Pokémon who were about to be a meal for a pack of Mightyena. It was the combined efforts of Gallade and three packs of Houndoom and Houndour that they were saved but Gallade wasn't.

She was also watching the scene of the children playing and it warmed her heart immensely.

The next day as the children were playing in Oak's corral that both professors ended up fixing the Pokedexes for the children. For some reason Samuel was smiling at them much like a grandfather would watch his grandchildren and to him, Ash and Rina were his grandchildren.

He remembered the day that Delia told them what had truly happened to Aiden.

Flashback to two weeks previously

"Mommy! Look what we found!" Ash said proudly as he and Rina ran in with bags filled to the brim from everything that they found at the shipwreck sight. As Augustine and Samuel opened them, they saw 230 pokeballs, two pokedexes, books and so much more including what looked like jewelry when Augustine gaped.

"Keystones and mega stones?" He said when Delia and Samuel looked at him while Lucario and Gardevoir were surprised.

"What are they?" Samuel asked.

"Mega stones are something new and I'm still studying them." He explained. "In the simplest of terms…these stones can make a fully evolved Pokémon evolve once more but for a limited amount of time."

"Children? Why don't you go outside and play?" Samuel said and once they were gone, he sighed. "Do you know which ones have them?" He questioned the Kalos professor.

"I know that all three Kanto starters have one, Gengar and Lucario. There's more but I'm not sure how much more." Augustine told them.

"It's something that I wish that Aiden and Lucario had before going after those monsters." Delia whispered but they all heard her.

"His Lucario? He was an Aura user?" Samuel asked and Delia laughed sadly.

"He was an Aura Guardian-fully accredited by Rota-plus a Ranger and a Champion." Delia admitted. "It was he who helped stop Teams Rocket, Galactic and Flare along with Hunter J. He was fatally wounded by Giovanni but managed to get everyone-including the grunts-before he died with his Lucario."

"How did his Lucario die?" Augustine asked.

"In his Luxury Ball that Lance gave me when they told me the news." She had to keep her tears at bay as she spoke but her voice was shaky. "He's going to be with the twins-probably Rina-when they start their journey at ten."

(Flashback ends)

Augustine had each Pokedex colored to the twins' preferences.

Ash's was black and blue with a Pikachu and a Riolu on it while Rina's was pink and blue with an Eevee and her evolved fairy form Sylveon on it.

It was one of Rina's favorites next to Espeon, Umbreon, Flareon and Glaceon. For some reason, that Eevee had imprinted on Rina and in Eevee's mind-Rina is her mommy.

As Rina was playing outback with the Pokémon, an orange and black striped puppy the size of a tiger ran straight to her. She smiled and began to pet him, feeling his comfort when Gary spoke.

"That's mine! Don't touch him loser!" Rina looked at her shaky hands when she felt the puppy growl at Gary, looking ready to show his teeth and bite him but the Kanto professor had seen that action and went outside to prevent anything bad to happen.

Gary was angry as he saw that loser Rina pet his Growlithe that his father got for him. He knew that it was from his grandfather's two mated Arcanines but that Growlithe was his!

He was about to storm over to her when his grandfather ran out of his lab and stood in front of the puppy.

"Gary…please, don't say anything like that about Rina otherwise Growlithe will hurt you." The elder Oak cautioned. Gary looked at the dog and at his grandfather before sneering at Rina who was partially hidden.

"Fine, you can have the mutt." He ended up stalking off.

Oak smiled at the puppy who seemed to enjoy the attention Rina was giving him and both the Eevee and Ralts were cuddling the giant teddy bear.

"Rina? Why don't you capture them in case they get stolen from you?" Oak said gently. He would even get her some pokeballs to use for them.

He did need to talk to Kurt about making some pokeballs for Ash and Rina.

"You want to do what?" Delia asked. She wasn't sure if she heard her friend and surrogate father figure right.

"I am willing to get Kurt to make special pokeballs for Ash and Rina." Oak repeated. Delia was beginning to get a headache because her children already had 115 pokeballs each but now they will end up with more?

Lucario ended up helping Delia to a chair while Gardevoir made her a soothing tea for her 'owner'.

"Why don't I stay here? With Delia?" Augustine suggested. At first, Lucario and Gardevoir didn't think that was such a great idea but Gardevoir ended up reading his emotions and realized that he was slowly falling for her.

She just hoped that good things would happen for that couple if they ever become a couple.

Lucario, on the other hand, went to the Luxury Ball that was on the mantle and touched the center to reveal another Lucario with two grey fingerless gloves over his paws who was staring at her with his head cocked.

Where am I? Where's Aiden? He asked her, telepathically. The female Lucario had no idea what to tell him until the door opened.

"Mommy? Can my puppy come-" Rina started to say when she saw two Lucarios and stared at them.
