Strike of Team Aero

“So…” Ash turned up from his meal, “Winter break’s coming up.”

Misty, May, and Dawn all nodded, “So, are we all meeting at your place this year, Ash?” The red-head inquired.

“That’s the plan.” He sounded, “My Mom’s making sure everything’s ready. Brock’s coming and Max has been invited, too.”

May smiled, “I’m sure he’ll love to help Professor Oak again.”

Aria sunk in her chair. First, Cynthia actually became pregnant from the ordeal, and now she really had no idea where she was even going to be for the long break. Fortree had nothing for her anymore, Sinnoh was uncertain, and she’d rather not gamble on Gramps having heard about October. Scott had appeared weeks ago with a message that she could control Mew if she understood what the “Heart of Pokemon” is… He’s most likely grooming her for that position in the Battle Palace. This was too much for the poor girl to bear.

“Aria.” The trainer prodded, “You’re invited, too.”

Aria blinked, “What? Me?” She stumbled, “Aren’t you worried about me doing *that* in your own home?”

The black-haired trainer gave his traditional broad smile. “Mating season for Pokemon is in the fall, not the winter.”

“You trust people too easily.”

“Let’s put it this way…” He smirked, “You wouldn’t be the first legendary Pokemon I got into a fist fight with.”

“One sec…” Aria pushed, “Yep, I feel that intense fear my instinct has for you.”

“Good.” He smiled, “We have the tickets ready.”

With the winter snow dampening the fields, the entire town of Pallet was covered in a pure white. “So, is this your first time here?” Misty turned.

Aria shook her head, “I really never made it past Celadon. I really only spent time in Johto and Hoenn.”

Dawn smiled. “At least it’s cold so those Tangela aren’t out.”

“You get tentacle raped one time…” Ash laughed. “All that happened was you got a load of pollen on your skirt.”

“Do you know how much work it was to get that off?” She moaned, “The only way those things got off me was when I talked Chimchar to burn it off me.”

Misty chuckled, “You mean you haven’t gotten used to being burned yet?”

“Just because you take half damage naturally.” She leered.

“Actually,” May turned, “I’m getting really cold.”

The black-haired trainer turned with a smile. “We’re almost there, so don’t worry.”

“But I’m freezing~” The brunette complained before letting out a gasp from a sudden warm feeling. “What was that?”

Aria smiled, now bearing long crimson hair that flowed like a flame and a long red robe in her normal style. “I borrowed some traits from Ponyta, this should keep you warm.”

“That’s pretty smart…” She blinked, “But now turn into a real Ponyta so I can ride you.”

“No.”

“Please~” May sang, “We’re friends, right?”

“Just because I can turn into one doesn’t mean I have the strength to carry you.” The Mew shot. “Anyways, I ran out of nice after healing your broken body this summer. Be gracious that I changed into something that could warm you up.”

“Aww…”

“Here we are.” Ash announced, “It’s not big, but it’s home.”

Aria sighed, “You don’t have to impress me, Ash. I lived in a hospital.”

“Oh, well.” He shrugged, “No sense standing out here.”

The inside of the house, while kept very clean, had an empty feeling to it. The cleaning of the Ketchum family’s Mr. Mime kept any form of clutter from prying eyes, excepting a note on the table. “Dear Ash, I’m sorry that I couldn’t greet you, but I decided that we needed more groceries.” Misty announced, reading the message, “I’m sure your father would be very happy about how popular you are with the girls . Love, Mom.”

“What kind of person is your dad, anyways?” Dawn blinked.

“Still working on that.” Ash sighed, “The jerk disappeared before I was born. I’ve actually spent my life looking for him.”

Aria sighed, “Who doesn’t have a parent like that?”

“Actually, it reminds me that Professor Oak was looking up some information on where Aura users are found. I should visit him.” The black-haired trainer stated. “I bet Max is already there. You guys up to it?”

“I’ll stay back…” The Mew brushed, “Oak and my grandfather know eachother, and my vacation is better spent without him knowing where I am.”

“Well,” He turned, “I hope you don’t mind us ditching you for a while.”

“Don’t worry about me.” She smiled, “I was a team leader, I can handle holding down the fort.”

“We’ll be back before dusk, make yourself comfortable.”

Left alone, Aria plopped on the couch. Of course, it didn’t take a genius to tell that the quiet psychic accountant didn’t fit into the large party. That said, there was little for Aria to even do over the break. Essentially her plans were split between training her Jynx and moping over what happened to Cynthia. That was until the Pokeball clicked open. “Let me guess…” Aria sighed, “It’s Christmas, so you need to go to the North Pole to work.”

The Jynx nodded.

“When will you be back?” She watched the Pokemon gesture the date. “Okay, so the twenty seventh. Take care, then.”

Now her plans were mope about the situation and mope about the situation, which meant she had a lot of internal monologue to get through. In the ensuing month, the two girls had figured out that it was rape for both of them in an attempt to remove Aria’s guilt for the entire situation. That said, there was still the undeniable problem that Cynthia was now pregnant, and she was the father. This was such big news that Professor Rowan came down from Sinnoh just to give her a checkup. The way he put it, this was the first time that someone actually was to have a Mew-kin in recorded history. Of course, this meant there was going to be a lot of noise in the future. Aria really wasn’t looking forward to that part. Speaking of noise, there was the sudden opening of a door that caught the feline trainer’s attention. Out of the door came a woman in her late thirties unbundling to bear her shoulder-length brown hair and a slim figure that denied her status as a mother. Aria let out a nervous laugh as she turned to greet the woman. “Forgive my intrusion…”

The woman smiled, “You must be Aria, I’m Ash’s mother Delia.”

“It’s a pleasure, Mrs. Ketchum.” She nodded.

“Where my son and his friends?”

“They went to visit Professor Oak.” The Mew explained, “I decided to stay back since my grandfather would know where I was.”

“I’m sure there’s a story here.” The matriarch sighed as she sat next to the girl.

“In short I’m scared.” The Mew stated, “I want to be close to my old friends, but my best friend hates me, and if I’m not careful a second me will come out and rape the rest. The girl she took is finishing her first trimester now.”

Delia blinked away a greedy look from a past life. “Things can’t be that bad.” She calmed, wrapping her arms around Aria, “There’s no way someone could hate you, and you can’t be afraid to meet new people just because something weird happened one time.”

“I was eaten to death be Raticate when I was four to be sealed inside my brother’s body. From that point, I began a close friendship with the love of my life. From there I created Team Aero, gaining the respect of Rayquaza and gaining me a female form. I then approached the girl and was turned away crushingly. After a large cluster-screw I finally got back with her to find that she had a hyper-violent second personality that almost raped me, Team Rocket then sapped the entire festival at which I almost killed myself to save everyone. The good thing was that I was able to bridge the gender gap and make the girl my master and lover. After being her opponent in an examination for her Gym Leader position, she released me and the Sinnoh champion attempted to make me feel better by molesting me while I was under the effect of an aphrodisiac by my brother’s hands. After that I attempted to kill myself multiple times, making myself a target of the Frontier Brains, cumulating in me going to the academy as the roommate to the same champion. Then what is apparently the actual personality of Mew rounded up all of the girls in the school and selected them down until the champion was left and THEN took her to be raped.” Aria huffed, “That’s a little more than one time.”

“Would you believe me if that wasn’t the strangest thing I’ve ever heard?”

“Okay, shoot.”

“My husband made a living getting into fist fights with legendary Pokemon.” She smiled, “You see, he was working on the prototype Pokedex with some of his friends, and after a while it got to bar bets between him and a rival- Ace Hasaki.”

“Mrs. Ketchum,” Aria glared, “You lie. My father hated Pokemon until the day he died.”

“There’s a reason for that.” She countered. “My husband actually was clinically dead after a lot of his fights, then after he found out he could use Aura he fought even more. I don’t want to tell Ash this, but his father is actually in the void right now for fighting a Pokemon called Giratina. By the way, how is your mother?”

“Never met her.”

Delia blinked, her eyes wide with amazement. “Really? I couldn’t get her to stop talking about how she might have Mew as a daughter!”

Aria cocked her head. “You knew my mother?”

“Of course, my Yew and your father were rivals. But also your mother worked for a… rival company to mine, and we met during fieldwork.”

Aria sighed, “This is really the most I’ve ever learned about her. You see, I’ve been raised by my grandfather until I started training.”

“Aria, could I ask a favor?”

“What is it?”

The matriarch looked anxious, “You learned how to use Aura, right?”

“Sure.” She nodded, “Why do you ask?”

“Not to hold you to your father’s mistakes, but since Yew disappeared, I haven’t enjoyed an Aura massage in ages.”

Aria blinked. “Well, I guess I can give you that much as thanks for housing me for the break. I guess it would be strange for Ash to do.”

“Great!” Delia cheered, “We’ll go up to the master bedroom to do this.”
