"Telepathic Speech / Aura Translation of Pokespeech"

Prologue

A six-year-old kid with spiky black hair, brown eyes and lightning bolt marks on his cheeks could be seen wading through a small pond towards a large golden fish like pokemon that was flopping about in the shallows, injured. The kid was wearing a blue t-shirt and black shorts.

"Ash be careful there, you don't just approach any wild pokemon. If you startle it, it can attack you. Even a Magikarp can be very dangerous." An old man with grey hair and wearing a lab coat said, trying to deter the now identified Ash from doing something rash. "But Professor Oak the Magikarp is injured, I can't just leave it here helpless." Ash said determined to help the poor Magikarp.

Said Magikarp just kept flopping about, but kept an eye on the child approaching it. As Ash reached closer, the Magikarp started to panic. "Easy there Magikarp I won't hurt you. I just want to help you, please calm down." Ash said with a soothing tone of voice. Magikarp just kept watching Ash trying to figure out if he had evil intentions towards it or not. After a couple of moments, Magikarp stopped panicking and flopping about, allowing Ash to approach it without fear.

When Ash reached Magikarp, he ran his right hand over its head cooing soothing words towards it, all the while checking its injuries. After examining the injuries Magikarp had, Ash came to the conclusion that using a Potion would be enough to heal its injuries. "Professor can I borrow a Potion from you?"

"Here you go my boy," Professor Oak said tossing a Potion towards Ash. After Ash caught the Potion, he turned towards Magikarp, "Magikarp this is going to sting a little, but afterwards you will feel good as new. Are you ready?"

"Karp Magikarp…" Magikarp said showing that it was ready. Ash opened the seal on the bottle of Potion and then started spraying the contents on Magikarps various wounds. Magikarp just winced as some of the worse injuries were covered in the potion, but kept calm all the while surveying the young human child.

Unknown to everyone on the scene, a pokemon was observing the young child helping the Magikarp while an old man was waiting for the boy to finish. 'I think that I will give the chosen one a gift for his selflessness.' The pokemon thought to itself, 'But I have to be careful so that I don't reveal his role in the world. Hopefully the council won't give me give me much grief over my decision.'

"There you go Magikarp all better." Ash said with glee as he watched Magikarp flop about happily. "Bye Magikarp and be careful not to get hurt again, you were lucky that me and the Professor were close by." As Ash turned to leave, Magikarp gave a sad "karp karp" and tried to flop away when suddenly a pokemon teleported in front of Ash.

The pokemon had a small pink feline body with ears like a cats, a long tail and baby blue eyes. The pokemon looked at Ash with a curious expression on its face all the while flying about Ash's head. "Arceus! Ash that's the legendary pokemon Mew." Professor Oak exclaimed in surprise. Ash was just as surprised as the professor and so he gave Mew a tentative "Hi mew."

"Hello young one," came the female sounding voice of Mew through the use of telepathy. "I was flying about when I saw your act of kindness and I was quite impressed. It's not every day I see a human, one so young no less, be so selfless as to approach an injured wild pokemon with thoughts of helping it. What do you want to be when you grow up young one? I wish to give you a gift for your selflessness."

"I want to be a Pokemon Master and there is no need for you to give me a reward for doing what is right. Mom always taught me to do the right thing." Ash said.

"Noble and pure of heart as well. So be it I will give you a gift that only Sir Aaron of Cameran Palace got and he is considered one of the greatest hero the world has seen. Even we legendries mourn his loss. I will give you my help should you need it. Also it seems that you have latent psychic and aura abilities. I will also give you all the knowledge you require to at least start using your abilities immediately." Mew said before touching Ash's forehead with her and Ash glowed white before the nimbus of psychic energy vanished. After that, Ash collapsed nearly falling into the pond but Mew caught him using her psychic powers and teleported him to the Professors side.

"Take good care of the child old one. He has a great destiny ahead of him, being Arceus's Chosen One, but don't reveal his destiny to him yet. It shall be revealed to him all in good time." Mew said seriously to which Oak just nodded his head. As Mew was about to leave, Magikarp started to get worked up, "Karp Magi Karp, Magikarp." Mew just nodded her head and turned towards Professor Oak. "Magikarp here wants to be with the Chosen One. She believes that it was fate that brought him to her and I am willing to believe that." Mew said before teleporting out of there.

Oak didn't know what to say or do, so he took out a pokeball and threw it towards Magikarp. Magikarp just jumped out of the water and touched her head to the ball getting sucked into the ball in a haze of red light. The ball didn't even shook once and pinged signifying a capture. Professor Oak then picked up the pokeball and then carried Ash to the jeep. After buckling Ash down, Professor Oak started the jeep and drove back to Pallet Town.

A few hours later, "Ohhh…" a moan could be heard in a darkened room. "What happened? Where am I?" Ash asked in a groggy manner sitting up. Looking around he saw that he was back in his room and in his bed. Getting up Ash walked to the door of his room and opened it. After washing his face in the bathroom, he walked down the stairs and into the living room.

"I am telling you Delia; when Mew appeared out of nowhere I was so surprised, but what surprised me more was that Mew had been impressed with Ash and decided to reward him." Oak could be heard, talking excitedly with his mom in the kitchen.

"Oh my Professor, so what did Ash get from Mew?" Delia asked.

"Oh I don't know what Mew gave, but I know that he collapsed after Mew gave him his reward…" Oak said before trailing off seeing Ash standing at the doorway of the kitchen. "Evening mom, Professor Oak."

"Oh honey I am so proud of you. Not only did you help an injured pokemon, you were also able to impress a legendary pokemon enough for it to show itself to you. Congratulations on becoming the member of a very elite club of people to meet a legendary." Delia gushed.

"It's nothing mom, I just followed your teachings. I didn't even want to be rewarded for what I did, but Mew had other ideas." Ash said embarrassed at the praise.

"Well my boy you are one of the few people to be blessed by a legendary pokemon. You should be proud." Oak said.

"Just as I said before Professor; I did what I did because it was the right thing to do, not because of some reward."

"Speaking of reward, what did Mew gift you?" Oak asked going into research mode.

"Oh nothing much something about awakening my latent psychic and aura abilities. Also that she would be there for me should I need it. Now I have a question, what does latent mean?"

"Latent means untapped or un-awakened in your case. So you have psychic powers and aura, interesting that Aura users and Psychics don't usually get on well with each other. I know that you got your aura powers from you father. He was a direct descendant of Sir Aaron of Cameran Palace in the Kingdom of Rota. But where did you get your psychic powers from?" Oak mused at the end.

"Mew told me that she gave Sir Aaron her help when he needed it. Could that be why she showed up in front of me?" Ash asked.

"Could be. You are descended from Sir Aaron. The Ketchum family is directly connected to the Royal Family of Rota. If I am not mistaken, the daughter of the present Queen of Rota, Queen Melisa, is Princess Ilene your cousin. Her and your great grandmother was Queen Melina. She had married Harold Ketchum and had twins. According to custom, the female twin was crowned Queen and the male twin became her Knight or in this case Aura Guardian. Ilene is descended from the female twin while you are descended from the male twin. I just can't seem to remember their names for some reason." Oak explained to an awed Ash who just listened with rapt attention.

"Ash there is something I must tell you. Now that you know your father also had the ability to use aura, you should know that he gave his life saving Pacifidlog Town from a powerful tidal wave a couple of months before you were born. He and his Lucario used up all of their aura to create a powerful shield around the town." Delia had tears in her eyes from remembering that sad event that caused her husband his life along with his most faithful companions life.

"So dad died a hero. So cool, beat that Gary." Ash said after processing the news.

"Ash you should know that Gary's dad also died soon after on Mount Silver trying to take down a criminal organization. He succeeded in partially disbanding the group." Oak said remembering getting the news that Blue Oak had died from the Pokemon G-men.

"Oh I am sorry Professor I didn't know." Ash had his head down in shame for forgetting that Gary's father was the Professors son. "Wait how do I have psychic powers if psychic and aura powers are contra…contadict…"

"Contradictory son, and you get your psychic powers from me. I may not be a very strong psychic, but I do have a little telepathic ability. Your cousin Sabrina can help you, I heard from my brother that she was showing signs of being a powerful psychic."

"You don't mean Sabrina Richards the daughter of the Saffron City Gym leader, do you?" Oak asked surprised.

"Of course Jim Richards is my brother. Sabrina is six years Ash's senior just as Ilene is. I think that it's time for Ash to meet his extended family. I will call up Jim as see if he and Sabrina are free this weekend. I will also call up Melisa and see about spending this summer at Rota. What do you say Ash?"

"I would love that mom, oh I just remembered." Ash turned towards Professor Oak and asked, "What happened to Magikarp did she return back into the deeper section of the pond safely?"

"Oh I have Magikarp's pokeball with me. She didn't want to leave you and said so to Mew who translated for her. Here you go Ash keep her pokeball safe for tonight and in the morning you can come over to ranch and let her out in one of the ponds. How does that sound?" Oak asked with a smile handing Ash the pokeball. "Alright good evening you two but I must return home before Daisy sends out a search party." Professor Oak got up and then walked towards the main door.

"Evening Professor," both mother and son called as the Professor let himself out. "How about a spot of dinner for my little hero?" Delia asked with a smile, Ash just nodded his head inpatient for the morning to come. After dinner, Ash bathed then went to sleep.

Meanwhile Delia was sitting at the video phone making a call. "Hello this is Jim Richards here… Oh if it isn't my baby sister, how have you been Delia?"

"Oh I am fine Jim, how are you and your family?"

"Julie and Sabrina are doing fine, though it seems that Sabrina is starting to seal off her emotions in an attempt to better control her powers. So how is Ash? I haven't seen the little tyke since the day he was born. Sabrina seems to have formed a soft spot for him."

"Really that is surprising especially since she only met him the day after he was born. Anyway the reason I called so late is because of Ash." Delia paused to let Jim process that.

"So he is already manifesting his psychic powers. Interesting could it be… Oh sorry Delia you know how I become if something interests me. So is he, or isn't he?" Jim asked getting impatient with Delia's continued silence.

"There was an incident this afternoon. Ash was out with Professor Oak helping him with some research. After helping a shiny Magikarp, a Mew suddenly appeared and rewarded Ash by unlocking his latent psychic and aura abilities. If either of the powers were awakened I wouldn't have worried, but both is a bit concerning. Also Mew gave him enough knowledge to already use his powers on an adept's level. He had unconsciously used his psychic powers to pick up his dishes and put them in the sink after I reminded him of his mistake. Also he was quite sleepy and had his eyes closed yet he was perfectly able to get to his bedroom. I had seen Richard do similar things using his aura. In fact, Ash already has very developed psychic and aura powers. What should I do Jim? You know how rare it is for psychic and aura powers to harmonize with each other. I am scared for my little boy." Delia was nearly at the point of crying.

"Sis there is no reason to fear. Mew is a legendary pokemon and they rarely consider us even worth their notice. To appear before Ash and gifting him enough knowledge to become an adept in both arts is extraordinary, but we can be assured that the powers are already harmonized in him. He is your and Richards son after all."

"Yea you are right as always Jim. Now as to the main reason I called you, are you and your family free this weekend? I will pick up old Magik from Professor Oak and have him use Teleport to bring us to your place around noon. We will stay there that night and most of the next day before leaving in the late afternoon."

"I have no problem with that. Julie had even been asking me to invite you over since we last talked and that was half a year ago. I just didn't have time because of all the challengers the gym is having recently. So come at your leisure. I have to go Delia, I have three challenges first thing in the morning and I have to get my sleep. If I may be bold, I also know that you need your own beauty sleep, you have to look your part as a beautiful widowed mother after all. Goodnight Sis." Jim quickly hung up leaving a sputtering red faced Delia looking at the blank screen.

"Oh Jim you are going to get it when I get to you. Now to call Queen Melisa." Delia said to no one in particular and dialed the personal number of the Queen. After some moments the Queen's personal maid picked up the phone.

"Hello this is Queen Melisa's personal phone, milady's personal maid speaking. How may I help you?"

"Layla it's me Delia. Is Melisa free at the moment?" Delia asked with a smile.

"Oh my I didn't even recognize you Delia. You look just as young as you looked when Ash was born. Wait a moment while I inform milady…" Layla said getting up to inform the Queen. After a couple of moments Melisa sat down in front of the phone.

"How have you and Ash been Delia?" Melisa asked.

"We have been fine your highness. I was wondering if we could visit Rota this summer. I want to introduce Ash to his extended family, especially after what happened today."

"What happened? Did he somehow caused an aura burst? And didn't I tell you that its Melisa to family." Melisa asked a bit concerned.

"Sorry I was just trying to tease you again. Old habits die hard. Anyway no Ash didn't have an aura burst but it seems that he had somehow got the attention of a Mew. A Mew that once helped Sir Aaron, from what I could gather from Ash. The Mew gave him the gift of knowledge and at the same time unlocked his psychic and aura powers. He now has the abilities of an adept at both arts. Any way so what do you say about us visiting you and Ilene?" Delia had a serious yet kind expression on her face.

"Oh you are always welcome to visit and since you asked to visit during summer, I would advise you coming during the Rota Annual Festival. So how long do you think you will be staying?"

"A couple of weeks, a month at most. Ash helps Professor Oak with some of his research, so taking him away from Professor Oak for any longer period will cause both to have nervous breakdowns." Delia said with a chuckle in the end.

"We can't have that now, can we? Anyway Delia its getting late so I think that both of us should get to sleep. You have your son to take care off and I have my kingdom. Goodnight Delia, hope that you sleep well." Queen Melisa said before hanging up after Delia returned the favor.

The next morning Ash was up at eight in the morning. After finishing the morning necessities, he went down to the kitchen to see a large stack of pancakes waiting for him. After quickly wishing his mom a good morning, he went to work demolishing the stack of pancakes, covering them with maple syrup. After he was done, he quickly used his newly gained psychic powers to put the dishes in the sink before leaving the house in a run.

After a quick jog up to Professor Oak's lab, Ash rung the bell. A young teenaged girl with blonde hair wearing a pale green sundress opened the door. "Oh hello Ash. What brings you here at this time in the morning? Don't you normally come right before noon?"

"Oh morning Daisy, Professor Oak told me to come in the morning today. So can I come in?" Ash said with a smile. He liked Daisy because of her kind personality. Daisy brightly smiled at him, "Of course Ash, grandpa is out back feeding the pokemon. You know your way around the lab, don't you?"

"Yea and thanks Daisy." Ash said before rushing off towards the fields behind the lab. When he got outside, he quickly spotted Professor Oak giving the last of the grass pokemon their breakfast. The professor was wearing his usual lab coat over a green shirt, brown tie and beige khakis.

"Morning Professor." The professor turned his head and saw Ash standing behind him in a blue t-shirt with a pokeball logo and green shorts. He had the Magikarp's pokeball clutched in his hands and had adorned an excited grin on his face.

"Morning Ash, excited as ever I see. So what are you waiting for, let the Magikarp out. The pond is practically empty today as most of the other water pokemon are in the larger lake." Ash nodded his head and quickly threw the pokeball towards the pond calling out, "Magikarp, I choose you." In a burst of red light, the golden Magikarp materialized in the pond and started swimming about in excitement.

"Professor I forgot to ask yesterday, but why is Magikarp golden? Aren't they normally reddish-orange in color?"

"Normally you would be correct Ash. Remember me telling you that there are some pokemon of the same species that are differently colored and are very rare. This Magikarp is one of those rare shiny pokemon, so she is golden in color. If I remember correctly, a shiny Gyarados is red in color and that is what she will look like when she evolves."

"Cool," Ash said before turning to Magikarp, "How are you feeling Magikarp?"

"I feel completely fine now. Thank you for helping an injured, wild Magikarp like me master." Magikarp said and surprisingly Ash understood it.

"No need to thank me and also don't call me 'master'. I want to be your friend, if it's alright with you?" Ash asked timidly.

"That will be fine, but what will I call you?" Magikarp asked confused as to what to call Ash. Ash just nodde his head and said, "Just call me Ash and I was wondering would you like a nickname?"

"I would love a nickname. So what do you think will fit me." Magikarp asked enthusiastically. "Professor said that after evolving you would be red in color, so what about…Cherry?" Magikarp quietly pondered the name and then said, "Thank you, Cherry is a very beautiful name. I love it Ash."

"Your welcome Cherry…" Ash was about to continue when a cough from Professor Oak distracted him. "What is it Professor?"

"So Ash it seems that Mew's gifts are already being used quite well. So are you able to understand Cherry because of aura or are you using telepathy?"

"Oh it was an aura translation trick. If I used telepathy, then I wouldn't have been talking out loud."

"Most interesting Ash, so are you able to understand any pokemon or just the pokemon that have become close to you?"

"Oh with enough practice, any Aura user can understand all pokemon. I can because Mew gifted me the knowledge required to be considered an adept in using both my aura powers and psychic powers. Even you can learn how to use your aura to understand all pokemon, but not much else." Oak nodded his head, "So any person can use aura?"

"Every living thing can use aura to a certain degree, but only those with a very strong aura will be able to become an Aura Gurdian. You see the translation trick is a very low level trick, but it needs one to keep their minds open to receive the required fluctuation in the aura of a pokemon for the user to understand."

"I see, so what will you and Cherry do now Ash?" Ash just shrugged his shoulders before saying, "I will get to know her a bit before starting her training. Mew also gave me a lot of information on pokemon, their different abilities, pokemon attacks and types. Also there is something called Mega Evolution and it requires a keystone for the trainer, a megastone for the pokemon and a very strong bond between the pokemon and trainer. In fact, Charizard seems to have two different Mega Evolutions due to two different megastones. Mew also gave me the knowledge on how to find megastones using Aura Sight."

"This is the first time I am hearing about Mega-evolution. If you ever have a pokemon with the capability to Mega Evolve, will you please let me study the phenomenon?" Oak asked going into professional researcher mode.

"Of course Professor, you don't even need to ask. Now if you will excuse me I will head off deeper into the corral to find a larger pond to train Cherry in." Ash said before he returned Cherry and headed off. Oak just nodded his head and then turned back to return to his lab.

A couple of days later, Ash found himself sitting beside his mom at Professor Oak's at noon. Professor Oak gave his mother a luxury ball after the normal pleasantries were taken care of. "Thank you for taking care of Magik for me Professor."

"No need to thank me Delia. It was a pleasure to have him around. His telepathic abilities had helped me in my research over the years. In fact, I am sad see him go really."

"Oh don't worry Professor, Magik will be around if you need help. Now me and Ash must really be going. See you Monday morning." Delia said as Professor Oak nodded his head and returned back to the lab. Delia picked up the small rug sack she had beside her before leading her son to the corral. After they were out in the open, Delia called out a powerful looking Alakazam.

"It's nice to see you again Delia and is that little Ash? I can't believe how big you have gotten. I remember helping your mother take care of you for your first year of life." Magik said using telepathy.

"It's nice to see you too Magik, but can you please use Teleport to take Ash and me to the Saffron City?" Delia asked.

"Going to visit Jim? I will be nice to see my baby sister again." Magik said before his eyes started glowing bright blue with psychic energy. A moment later mother, son and pokemon all vanished in thin air only to appear in front of a Pokemon Center. "Here you go Delia. Call me out when you get to the Gym." Magik said gesturing for Delia to return him. Delia did as he wanted and then turned to Ash, "Come on Ash, let's go meet your Uncle Jim, Aunt Julie and cousin Sabrina. Jim is the Gym leader of the Saffron City Gym."

After walking for a few minutes' mother and son duo arrived at the gym. Entering the Gym through the main gate, they walked towards the residential area of the gym. As they were headed there, one of the gym trainers stopped them. The man had a bald head and a spoon in his hand, "Hey, where do you think you are going? That the Gym leader and his family's residential area. You are not authorized to go there. If you are searching for the Gym Leader, I will get him for you."

"I think that I am authorized to meet visit my brother and sister-in-law in their home, especially after letting them know that we were coming over for a visit. Don't you think so too?" Delia said with a kind smile on her face.

"What's going on here? Oh Delia I was wondering when you and Ash would show up. Has Jones been giving you trouble?" Julie asked giving Jones a glare.

"Sorry mam, I didn't know that they are your…" Jones started before Julie cut him off, "Family, I believe that I had informed all of the trainers that a couple of family members will come for a visit today at around Noon. Or has that notice completely escaped your notice, as usual with all the other notices." Jones just shook his head and quickly left.

"Sorry about him, he is a good student but seems to have some trouble remembering anything not related to battling or psychic powers. He also has an annoying habit of trying to prevent others from seeking Jim out on their own. Come on, lets introduce young Ash to Sabrina. I hope that Ash will be able to make Sabrina show some emoting again. I fear that if this continues, it will be bad for everyone." Julie said leading the duo towards the residential area.

Ash and Delia were showed where their rooms would be. Delia got the same room she grew up in, while Ash was given Jim's old room. After settling down, Delia and Ash met Julie in the sitting room where a twelve-year-old girl with green hair was sitting. Beside her sat her a man with a large beard and brown hair.

"Ash this is your Uncle Jim, you have already met your Aunt Julie and this is your cousin Sabrina. My how you have grown since I last saw you Sabrina dear." Delia said with her characteristic smile adorning her face. Ash just said an exuberant Hi before becoming silent.

"Hi Ash, it's nice to see you again. Last time I saw you was when you were just born. I tried to convince your mother to stay here for a while, but Delia being her old stubborn self didn't even think about it. So what is this I hear about meeting Mew and being granted a gift?" Jim asked.

"Oh nothing much Uncle, Mew was impressed with my, as she said, 'I was flying about when I saw your act of kindness and I was quite impressed. It's not every day I see a human, one so young no less, be so selfless as to approach an injured wild pokemon with thoughts of helping it.' She then asked what I wanted to be and that she wanted to reward me for my kindness." Sabrina listened impassively yet inside her the chains on her emotions were being unfettered. Jim and Julie were looking at Ash with awe.

"After she gifted me the knowledge, which included knowledge related to pokemon training, I passed out. When I woke up in my bed I had a headache and fuzzy memories. While I was having dinner, all the knowledge that Mew gave me suddenly, ah I don't know, started making sense and I could use both my psychic and aura powers to a great degree." After he finished, Delia just laughed out at Jim and Julies expressions. Both had their jaws hanging open. Here was a boy no older that six saying that he had enough understanding of both of his powers already to use them to a great degree.

"So what can you do?" Sabrina asked with an uncharacteristic undertone to her voice. It was this uncharacteristic undertone that brought Jim and Julie out from their shocked state. It was the first time in a while did they hear their daughter show any kind of emotion, but they could feel her excitement form the undertone of her voice.

"I can use telekinesis on multiple objects at the same time but nothing larger that a Golem. I can also use Teleport a couple of times before I get a headache from all the concentration. I can use Aura Sight and aura to enhance my body. I can also form a rudimentary Aura Sphere. Cherry suggested that I may be able to use one power to amplify the other and it does work, but after a few minutes it leave me tired. Oh and I can use telepathy and the Aura Translation Trick to communicate with pokemon." Ash gushed unaware of the incredulous faces on the adults and the mildly surprised and excited expression on Sabrina's.

"Ashy you can use Teleport?" Delia asked.

"And Aura Sphere too?" Jim added.

"Yes I can use Teleport and Aura Sphere, but the Aura Sphere is far from perfected. Though it seems that I can use Force Palm as is a basic aura based fighting move. I am also trying to learn Psybeam. Cherry is as much my trainer as I am hers'." Jim nodded his head in understanding before Sabrina asked, "Who's Cherry?"

"Oh Cherry is my Magikarp. Because she is shiny, and Professor Oak said that shiny Gyarados are red in color, I named her Cherry." Julie decided to asked the question that had been plaguing her, "Is she the same pokemon you helped?"

"Yep, she didn't want to leave me so she asked Mew to tell the Professor to capture her."

"Now that's dedication. So Ash why don't you and Sabrina get to know each other while we adult's catch up." Jim suggested. "Alright Uncle. Hey Sabrina do you have any pokemon?"

"Come with me Ash, we are going to the battle field, I want to see Cherry and you can meet Abra. He is training with his mom, who happens to be dads Alakazam." Sabrina said using her psychic powers to float up and lead the way. "Oh before I go, mom can I take Magik with me? He did say that his sister was here."

"Sure Ash, I would have released him later but if you want to take him with you, you can." Delia said before throwing Ash Magik's pokeball.

After following Sabrina for a few moments, floating himself. He had to say that it was good way to exercise his psychic powers. "So Sabrina how do you control you powers?"

"I lock away my emotions so that they don't mess up my control. So how do you control your powers?" Sabrina explained in an emotionless way.

"I see, but the knowledge Mew gave me related to my psychic powers and how to control them was her own method to control. The only thing required is a very strong concentration and the ability to ignore your emotions when it is required. Locking away one's emotions lead to loss of potential. You see, to use Teleport you have to concentrate on the destination and channel your fear without letting your emotion messing up your concentration. Can you use the Psychic?"

"Yes but it's very weak. Why do you ask?" Sabrina asked letting her surprise color her tone.

"Simple to get full power behind Psychic you should let anger and determination bleed out into your concentration. In doing so you will amplify the power behind your attack." Ash explained from the knowledge he got from Mew. Sabrina nodded her head, "Alright I will stop sealing away my emotions and start using them to amplify my power, but I will require a sparring partner."

"Oh I will be your sparring partner if you like. Every weekend I will come by and we can spend two days hanging out and sparring. Now that I know where the Gym is, I can easily teleport here without a problem."

"Thank you Ash, I don't know what would have happened if you didn't come here. And here is the battle field." Sabrina said lowering down to the floor. Ash followed her example and walked into the battle area. Upon entering the room, Ash saw a female Alakazam teaching a young Abra Psybeam.

"So that's how its done. I have to concentrate the psychic energy into a small point before releasing it in a beam instead of forcing the psychic energy into a beam like form." Ash mused which broke both psychic type pokemon from their training. Upon seeing Sabrina, Abra quickly teleported to Sabrina's side and looked at Ash curiously.

"Come on out Magik." Ash said releasing his moms Alakazam. "Hello again Ash, where's Delia?" Magik asked before the female Alakazam suddenly teleported to Magik's side and hugged him. "Brother it's been too long. So this is Delia's son?" The female Alakazam asked after letting her brother go.

"Mom who is this? And Sabrina who is the kid beside you?"

"Young one meet my brother Magik. He is Jim's sister's starter. And…" Alakazam said before Sabrina interrupted her, "This is my cousin Ash Ketchum. He is my Aunt Delia's son and he has been blessed by Mew. Mew gave him knowledge on how to use his psychic and aura powers to a great degree. He can even use Teleport, Aura Sphere and trying to learn Psybeam." Abra just nodded his head in understanding before doing a double take. "Wait did you say that a human can use Teleport, Aura Sphere and Psybeam?

"Yep I can use Teleport, Force Palm, Aura Sphere and may be able to use Psybeam now." Ash explained before Magik asked, "Well you can test your Psybeam out on me. I can use Protect to prevent the attack from harming me."

Ash nodded his head and then motioned towards the field. Ash took one side and Magik the other. Sabrina decided to watch from the sidelines along with Alakazam and Abra. At first Ash's eyes started to glow with psychic energy before rainbow colored energy appeared in his right palm. After a few more moments, Ash raised his palm towards Magik and launched a very compressed beam of rainbow colored psychic energy at his mom's Alakazam. Magik was able to create a green colored shield around him and when the Psybeam hit, he started to struggle in maintaining the shield.

'Arceus, that is the strongest Psybeam I have ever faced. No wonder Lady Mew took an interest in him. Such potential still left untapped, I must help him realize his true strength.' Magik thought with determination. Soon the Psybeam ended and so Magik let his Protect barrier drop as well. "That was the strongest Psybeam I have ever faced. Yet you still have a lot to learn Ash. Will you let me help you train your psychic powers?"

"I would love to have your help Magik and thank you for the complement on my Psybeam." Ash said with gratitude. Magik nodded his head before teleporting over to his sister and her son.

"Ash that was incredible, now I believe that you promised to introduce me to Cherry." Sabrina teased with a rare smile gracing her lips. Sabrina moved over to a panel at the side of the Gym Leaders seat and pressed some buttons. Soon the battle field changed into a water field with many floating platforms.

"All gyms have a water field for pokemon that are completely useless on land. Now release Cherry, I have never seen a shiny pokemon before." Sabrina commanded with impatience. Ash complied with her command and released Cherry who materialized in a flash of red energy.

"Hey Cherry meet my cousin Sabrina, my mom's Alakazam, Magik, Uncle Jim's Alakazam and Sabrina's Abra."

"Hello everyone," Cherry said shyly and got hello's in return, even from Sabrina. "So Ash where are we?"

"We are at the Saffron City Gym; Uncle Jim is the Gym Leader here."

After that Ash and Sabrina started hanging out with each other while the pokemon hung out as well. This continued for the whole day and the most of the next before Ash and Delia had to leave.

"Mom can I come and visit every weekend. I promised Sabrina that I would help her with her training." Ash asked giving his mom the puppy dog eyes.

"If your Uncle and Aunt doesn't have any problems with that then you can, but you will have to have Magik with you. Is that alright with you Jim, Julie?" Jim just nodded his head and Julie replied, "It's no problem at all Delia. Why don't you accompany him as well?"

"I have my flower shop and Restaurant to consider you know. Can't close them down every weekend. It's the busiest time of the week."

"Yea I can understand, but why didn't you open a Pokemon Gym in Pallet? You have enough credentials to open one." Jim asked.

"Oh I could but then I would have to get back to serious training and that would take away a lot of my time that I keep allocated for Ash. But after he starts his journey, I think that I will open up the Gym. Do you think that a Gym that specializes in variety will work?"

"Of course it will work. In fact, if I am not mistaken, when Blue was the Gym Leader of the Viridian Gym, it had specialized in variety. Alright in four more years, I will apply for a Gym Leader license. Now Ash we have to get back home. in three days, we leave for Cameran Palace in the Kingdom of Rota. Melisa and Ilene are very eager to meet you. We will be there for a month. Bye Jim, Julie, Sabrina take care." Delia said as she released Magik.

"See you in a month Uncle Jim, Aunt Julie, Sabrina." Ash said before Magik teleported them back to Pallet Town. Ash, Delia and Magik appeared in front of Delia's house. After entering the house, Magik went towards the sitting room and sat down on a couch. Ash and Delia went upstairs to their respective bedrooms to change into casual cloths. Afterwards Delia made a delicious dinner for the three of them. Following dinner Magik was returned to his pokeball while Ash and Delia went to sleep.

A few days later, Ash and Delia found themselves at the front gates of Cameran Palace of Rota. Delia had Magik teleport them to the front gates. At the gates, Layla was waiting for the duo to arrive. "Morning Delia and you must be young Ash. It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Layla, the Head Maid and personal Maid to the Queen."

"Ah Hello…" Ash said with uncharacteristic shyness. Delia just smiled broadly and said, "Morning to you to Layla. How has things been here?"

"Oh things have been the usual. Mew popping up and taking things that interest it, young Princess Ilene still trying to skive off her lessons on history, etiquette and politics. Milady getting a headache from the all the administrative work. The same old, same old really. Follow me you two, Milady wanted me to directly lead you two to her private sitting chambers." Layla led Ash and Delia through the castle and towards the Queen and her family's personal chambers. On the way, Ash turned his head left and right taking in all the artwork strewn around the palace.

Upon entering a large and posh chamber, Ash saw a set of richly made antique couches in royal blue. A large crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling and the walls were made of grey stone, similar to the outside of the castle. Many different paintings and portraits hung on the wall, but one portrait in particular drew Ash's attention.

The portrait was of a young man with spiky black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a blue hat with a pokeball symbol, blue gloves with crystals embedded in them, blue boots and a blue cape. The man had a staff in his hands with a large crystal affixed on top. The same staff was hung on two hooks right below the portrait. He had unknowingly moved over to the portrait and just as Ash was about to touch the staff a melodious voice startled him, "That is Sir Aaron, our ancestor and the greatest hero The Kingdom of Rota has ever seen."

Ash turned to meet a young girl about twelve years' old who was pretty in Ash's opinion. She had blonde hair and green eyes. "Um Hello, you must be Princess Ilene. I am Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. Nice to meet you." Ash said bowing. Ilene just looked at Ash with amusement, "Ash there is no need for formalities, we are family. You can call me Ilene or even Sis if you want."

"Alright I will call you Sis and Sabrina explicitly told me that she would dunk me into a pond if I called her that. So Sis are you interested in pokemon training?"

"Unfortunately no, though I do have a Mime Jr. As the heir to the throne of Cameran, I have to always be a lady, regal and poised and according to Layla, battling is unladylike. I still like to play with pokemon though."

"Oh that's too bad, I thought that both my cousins are into battling. It's alright though, we can spend time talking and playing with pokemon. How about I introduce you to Cherry, she's my Magikarp."

"I would love to…" Ilene started to say before his mother and another woman interrupted her. The other woman was very beautiful and had similar hair and eye color to Ilene's. He easily deduced that she was Queen Melisa, his Aunt. "Hello Aunt Melisa." Ash said with a smile.

"Hello Ash I have been wanting to meet you for some time now. You look just like your father did at your age. Now what's this I here that you have met a Mew that had known Sir Aaron himself?" Melisa asked with a smile.

"Wait you met a Mew that knew Sir Aaron?" Ilene asked with excitement and with those questions, Ash again begun to explain his encounter and the powers he had. After explaining everything, both the Queen and Princess had awed expressions on their faces.

"I think that everyone should stir down for a while before someone faints." Delia said directing the last part to the Queen who had the decency to blush. Just as everyone was about to move towards the couches, a glint of blue light caught Ash's attention. The light had been emitted by the crystal on the staff. Ash activated his Aura Sight to probe the crystal when he saw the aura signature of a pokemon was inside the crystal. Ash quickly decided that he needed to free that pokemon.

Just as Ash picked up the staff, Delia turned and saw. "Ash put the staff back right now."

"I can't mom, not until I have freed the pokemon trapped in the crystal." Ash started to concentrate and channeled his aura into the staff. After a few moments, the staff glowed blue and in a burst of blue light the pokemon was free. When the flash of light cleared a large bipedal fox like pokemon was seen crouching on the floor. The pokemon was off-white in the chest and blue fur covered him. He had a pair of ear like appendages hanging from the sides of its head. It also had a large metal spike on his chest and two smaller spikes on the outside of its paws. When it stood up, it stood on its toe-tips, or was it paw-tips.

"What is that pokemon?" Ilene asked to no one in particular to which Ash replied, "It's a Lucario. They and their unevolved state, Riolu are able to channel aura. They are native to Sinnoh. The only other pokemon capable of channeling aura in its raw form is Mienfoo and its evolution Mienshao of Unova. At least that is what knowledge Mew gave me." As Ash was explaining this, Lucario caught his bearings and turned to Ash, eyes closed.

"Why Master? Why did you betray me?" Lucario said to Ash confusing Ash's aura with Sir Aaron's. "Lucario I am not the one you think me to be. I am Ash Ketchum a descendent of Sir Aaron's. You have been trapped in the staff for over a century."

Lucario opened its eyes and took in the scene around him. He saw that the space where he sensed Sir Aaron's aura signature was occupied by a six-year-old boy with a remarkable resemblance with his former master. Beside the child was a twelve-year-old girl who bore a resemblance to the Queen he served, Queen Rin. Other than the two children he saw two adult women. One of whom wore the crown worn by Queen Rin. Then re recognized the chamber he was in. it was the Queens personal sitting chamber.

"Are you descended from Milady Rin? And you said that you were descended from my Master, right?" Lucario questioned first to Ilene and then Ash to which both just nodded their heads.

"Lucario both of us are descendent from Sir Aaron and Queen Rin. Both of them were our ancestors. We are cousins you see. Queen Rin's daughter Queen Melina had married Sir Aaron's son Sir Harold Ketchum. I am Princess Ilene and I am descended from their daughter. Ash here is descended from their son." Ilene explained with sympathy for the time displaced pokemon.

"I see, wait what happened to the warring armies. Master said that he had abandoned the kingdom before sealing me away. I want to know if the war pulled us in as well?" Lucario asked.

"Lucario, I am Queen Melisa and I am the present Queen of Rota. To answer your questions, no the war was stopped before it could drag us in. Sir Aaron didn't betray the kingdom as he would have you believe. He sacrificed his life to bring an end to the fighting. I believe that he tried to turn you away from the path he was walking. He is considered the greatest hero the world has ever seen. In a weeks' time we will hold the annual Festival in his honor." The Queen explained in an attempt to change Lucario's mind.

"Lucario, recently I had an encounter with a Mew. She said that it once gave Sir Aaron a gift and even helped him. She said that he was considered 'the greatest hero the world had ever seen. Even the legendries mourn his loss.' So you can see that what he must have tried to do. Don't dishonor his memory by becoming bitter. He was only trying to save you. If I am right, he must have used up all of his aura and used Mew's help in channeling and amplifying it through the Tree of Beginning. Do you know what happens when you use up all of your aura?"

"We will die. That is what my Master taught me." Lucario said before he realized what he said. "We die if we use up all of our aura, so that is why Master tried to turn me against him and sealed me away. He didn't want me to sacrifice my life along with his. I have been such a fool. So what shall I do now? My Master is dead and my training incomplete. Is there any other Aura Guardian's left?"

"My father was the last Aura Guardian Master. He and his Lucario sacrificed their lives to save Pacifidlog Town from a tidal wave a couple of months before I was born. I am an Adept because Mew gave me the knowledge required to become an Adept. I just need practice to become a Master. If you want, I will help complete your training." Ash hoped that Lucario wouldn't be offended by his offer while Delia, Melisa and Ilene just watched the events transpire.

"I… I will accept your teachings Master." Lucario said after hesitating for a moment.

"Firstly Lucario just call me Ash, I want to be your friend not owner. Second, after you complete your training, want you to remain here and protect Sis for me. Is that alright with you?" Lucario just nodded his head, "I will not disappoint you my friend. The Princess will be well protected."

"Alright now mom, Aunt Melisa can I take Lucario and Sis to the pond in the back gardens and introduce them to Cherry?" Ash asked with excitement. Delia and Melisa nodded their heads before Delia released Magik, "Magik please go with Ash and keep him from attracting trouble. You know how he is a magnet for it."

"I will keep young Ash safe and sound. Ash you are forbidden from using you powers to try and attract wild pokemon, got it?" Magik said as if he was a drill sergeant. Ash could just nod his head remembering the swarm of Beedrill that he attracted before.

"What did he do?" Lucario asked Magik to which Magik replied, "He tried to amplify his psychic powers with his aura ones and then tried to use Hypnosis to draw in a large swarm of Beedrill. When the Hypnosis ended, let's just say that the swarm wasn't very happy. Luckily me and Cherry are quite powerful and were able to lay waste to the whole swarm."

"So what kind of pokemon is Cherry anyway?" Magik replied with, "An unbelievably strong Magikarp. She knows Bounce, Dragon Rage and Bubble Beam in addition to Flail, Splash and Tackle. It's quite humbling to learn that with proper motivation and hard work, we can learn attacks that are otherwise thought to be impossible for us." Lucario just nodded his head in understanding.

'Hmm it seems that Ash has the ability to bring out the best in those he trains I wonder how strong I will become under his training regime.' Lucario mused.

After introducing Ilene and Lucario to Cherry, everyone got to know each other better. After that for the rest of the month, during the mornings, Ash, Lucario, Magik and Cherry could be seen training. Ilene would sometimes sit and watch them. During the afternoons, after lunch Ash and Ilene would be seen spending time doing random things. During evenings, everyone would sit together and spend time as a family before having dinner and getting into bed. On the day of the festival, Ash wanted to join the tournament, but his mom told him that only official trainers could join. So he decided to watch the tournament with his mom, Aunt, cousin and Lucario in the Queens private balcony. The winner of the tournament was a young guy by the name of Riley and his Lucario.

"He is an Aura Guardian or at least one in training. It's interesting to see a Guardian from a different region and a modern one to boot. Don't you think so Ash?"

"To me Lucario, he is the first Aura Guardian I am seeing, so he is already interesting."

After that the rest of the month flew by as it was going before festival and when it was time to leave, Lucario decided to leave with Ash till his training was complete.

Over the next four years, Ash's control over his powers kept growing along with the strength of said powers. On the anniversary of his fateful encounter with Mew, said pokemon suddenly popped up in the living room of his and his moms house and gave him Three pokemon eggs. One was a blue one that hatched into a Riolu and later evolved into a Lucario, nicknamed Ferrum. Another was a reddish orange one and that hatched into a Charmander called Blaze. After three years, Blaze is now a powerful Charizard. The final egg was forest green in color with deep viridian green patches which later hatched into a Snivy. Ash named the Snivy, Midori and after three years of constant training Midori evolved into a fine and healthy example of a Serperior.

Also over the four years, Ash had gone to a summer camp Professor Oak had arranged and it was there he met his best friend Serena Rider. Serena's mom was a Rhyhorn racer and had later moved to the Kalos region. Ash and Serena still kept in contact through phone calls, letters and email. Ash had helped Sir Aaron's Lucario complete his training and had himself completed his own training. He had also helped Sabrina master her powers without locking her emotions away. Over the course of the years, Ash had also become very close to his cousins Sabrina and Ilene.
