It had been the strangest and most painful few minutes of his life, the lightning striking Pikachu for some unknown reason, which had also messed with the lab's electronics… Of course, to calm his buddy down, he had grabbed Pikachu and he got shocked as well. Then, mysteriously, the lightning stopped and all the electronic equipment came back on line.
"Ash!" the four girls cried and came over to him, Delia following behind them.
"Ugh, man, what a shock," Ash moaned out.
"Are you okay sweetie?" Delia asked.
"Yeah," Ash replied.
"Oshawott?" the Pokémon questioned.
"It's okay Oshawott...Pikachu?" he questioned in worry but Ash saw that his long time buddy was back on its feet, "Hey, you okay?"
In response, Pikachu started sparking its tail.
"Okay, use thunderbolt on me," Ash requested.
"Ash!" the four girls and one older woman shouted and Pikachu used the electrical attack, shocking Ash.
"Are you crazy?!" Angie shouted at him after the attack ended.
"Maybe a little, but Pikachu is fine now. If he can hit me with that..." Ash began but Pikachu fainted.
"Pikachu is exhausted. It needs some rest," Juniper said and Ash nodded in agreement.

"It's going to be fun to travel around Unova and catching Pokémon and challenging the Unova League," Ash said between mouthfuls of food. Pikachu agreed with its trainer's statement.
"Pikachu, girls, you all need to make sure you take care of Ash," Delia said.
"Yes Mrs. Ketchum," the four chorused. Juniper looked over at Oak who gave her a 'I’ll tell you later' look and turned to Ash.
"Ash, being a Pokémon researcher I'd like for you to keep me informed about new Pokémon and discoveries you see here in the Unova region. Of course, I'll take care of your Pokémon that are at my lab," Oak said.
"Thanks, and I'll stay in contact," Ash assured.

"Professor, what is going on between Ash and those four girls?" Juniper asked.
"How much do you know about aura?" Oak asked.
"Aura? What does that have to do with...?"
"Ash is an untrained aura guardian. A very powerful aura guardian."
"If he's untrained, shouldn't he...?"
"The only ones that could even help Ash use those powers properly are spread across the globe. Plus, aura guardian is a lifelong commitment, something that Ash isn't willing to do just yet."
"Oh, so what does that have to do with the girls?"
"Aura has a magnetic pull. The pull attracts Pokémon, and humans," Oak explained.
"Humans?"
"Yes, humans of the opposite sex to be precise. It has something to do with the aura wanting to be passed on to the next generation. It attracts one or more females to the aura guardian in order to assure the next generation of aura guardians."
"But four?"
"Ash's pull is much greater than a normal aura guardian. Out here, on a journey, things happened between the wildernesses of the towns and cities of our world. Some say that we ask our kids to grow up too quickly. They say that we should wait until they are 13 or even 18 until they get their Pokémon license. I however say that doing this will have the unwanted side effect of the generations that will live under that law may become weaker than the generations before."
"Weaker?"
"Weaker in the heart, and spirit. Government ran schools do no good most of the time. However, out there, training and meeting new Pokémon, meeting new people, that is the perfect classroom and the best way to strengthen our race and the many races of Pokémon.”
"I think I see your point."
"Ash is an aura guardian. We cannot judge him, because his aura has attracted four girls to him. It isn't his fault that he's got these powers."
"But isn't it somewhat irresponsible for him not to get some training?"
"The life of an aura guardian is a lonely one. Most of those who would train Ash to use his powers would also try to break the bond Ash has with those four young girls. They would not want that and I doubt Ash would want that either."
"You speak from experience?"
"Someone I know had to leave their wife and child because of his powers and the people that wanted them," Oak said, getting lost in his memories. "Anymore I am forbidden from speaking about."
Juniper silently nodded, not saying anymore on the subject.
888
"Hmmmm, is it just me or is Oshawott...depressed?" Delia asked.
"Oshawott, do you miss Ash?" Juniper asked and the Pokémon nodded. "Well, you go after your future trainer then," Juniper said and Oshawott dashed away, hoping to catch up to its future trainer.
888
"I don't get it. How come that Axew is purple?" Ash asked.
"That's because that's the Axew's trainer, not Axew itself," Anabel calmly explained. "So, don't throw your Pokéball, she won't appreciate you trying to capture her."
"How could you mistake me for a Pokémon!" the girl shouted.
"Well, if you weren't hiding in the bush like a Pokémon would, then Ash wouldn't think you were a Pokémon," May retorted.
"Only a kid...awe~!" the girl gushed, seeing Pikachu and picked it up and started hugging it. However, she hugged the mouse too tightly and it shocked the girl.
"Uh oh," Dawn said.
"Well, at least there wasn't a bike around," May said and Dawn giggled.
"You hugged Pikachu too tightly," Anabel said. "You have to be gentle with a high level electric type."
"Sorry...hey, you were at Juniper's lab when all that lightning hit," the girl said.
"Yeah, I'm Ash by the way, this is Anabel, May, Angie, and Dawn," Ash introduced.
"I'm Iris and this is Axew," she said and tried to get more information about what had happened at the lab out of Ash, but he got distracted, seeing a Deerling." Hey! Come back here you kid!"
"He's not a kid!" Angie and Dawn shouted as they all chased after Ash.
888
The five sat around a small fire, eating roasted apples.
"Good thing I learned from Brock," Anabel said with a grin.
"I can't believe you tried to catch a Deerling without weakening it...you are such a kid," Iris said.
"He's not a kid!" Angie shouted and smacked Iris upside her head.
"Owe," Iris complained.
"Guess I got a little too excited," Ash blushed, embarrassed that he had made such a rookie mistake.
"You’ve been overexcited ever since we got here," Anabel commented. Eventually, the group fell asleep. However, no one noticed that Oshawott had found them.
888
"How long!" J asked.
"We'll be entering Unova within the hour," a techie replied.
"Ash Ketchum, you're mine...hahahaha!"
