A Loving Sister And Strong Trainer

Uncle Silver

When Meowth and Silver arrived in Professor Birch's laboratory, Pikachu led them to the living room where everyone except Alain and Prof. Oak was just sitting 

"Will she be alright?" Meowth asked Pikachu as he watched May just looking at the ceiling with Max's head on her lap sleeping opposite to her was Dinah who had a sleeping Zoie and Mairin laying next to her and behind Dinah was Malcolm who was just leaning against the wall

"I don't know she's still being checked over by the doctor," Pikachu said his ears dropping in his sadness

"I failed her," Meowth thought as tears welled up in his eyes "I should have been here for her I could have helped even a little bit"

"Where is she?" a familiar voice asked turning around everyone found Spark, Candela, and Blanche there but Spark's eyes were golden and had what looked like lightning coming from them

"Spark calm down please" Blanche pleaded but was ignored

"Whoever did this to Aura is dead when I get my hands on them" Spark growled out before Candela tapped his shoulder before gesturing to the younger kids

"Sparky let's take this outside as to not wake the kiddies," she said before pulling Spark outside

"What was that about?" Dinah asked May

"I have no idea," May said sadly

Meanwhile Silver decided to follow the three other adults. Spark was pacing around in a circle while Blanche and Candela were just watching them warily along with their pokemon

"Where's my baby?" Caroline asked as she and Norman ran towards the lab, behind them were Steven and Winona who were getting down their Corviknights both also look very worried

"She's inside the room to the left from the main living room," Silver said nodding towards Norman as Caroline ran inside followed by Winona

"Why are you here Silver?" Norman asked 

"Meowth wanted to see his trainer when James told us the news" Silver said and that's when Spark noticed him 

"Do you have any idea why this happened?" Spark demanded making Candela walk closer to him ready to stop him if Spark decides to confront Silver violently

"Yes in fact I was just about to tell you all," he said seriously before he gave a detail report of all the recent findings

"Why now?" Steven asked

"I may have an idea" 

Meanwhile inside the lab just as Caroline and Winona entered Ashlyn's room, she had just started to wake up which made Caroline run to her immediately

"Hi sweetie, how do you feel?" she asked as she gently hugged her beloved goddaughter 

 "Sore, it's hard to feel my legs and some of my other limbs," Ashlyn said weakly

"Here, these Cheri and Lum medicine should help with that dear" Prof. Oak said as he gave her two pills and a glass of water

"Is everyone alright? May and Max are they hurt?" Ashlyn asked before she threw both pills into her mouth then drank the glass of water as Caroline combed her hair back

"Everyone is just fine, angel" Winona said helping to calm Ashlyn down a lot

"Get some rest darling you'll need it," Caroline said as she sat on Ashlyn's bed "We'll all be right here when you wake up" 

"Thank you," she said before going back to sleep

That night as Ashlyn was eating her dinner in her room with her family, Silver walked into her room with Meowth and Pikachu who sat next to her along with Lucario who Norman had brought with him

"Ashlyn I would like you to meet Silver your uncle" Norman introduced as Silver walked into the room smiling slightly at his niece

"My uncle? Papa's never told me about you though?" Ashlyn said frowning

"Sadly he didn't know about me, " Silver said as he sat down on her bed

"Oh, why? if you don't mind me asking" Ashlyn asked curious about her new family member

"It's not important at the moment but how are you feeling?" he asked smiling gently

"I'm feeling a whole lot better," she said before they both spent an hour getting to know each other more

The next morning Ashlyn was finally allowed to get off her bed just in time to see Dinah and Malcolm head for Petalburg Forest to train more for Dinah's gym battle against Norman leaving Zoie to travel with them for the time being

"I will inform every officer and league official about team rocket's presence in Hoenn along with increasing security against Team Magma and Aqua," Steven said after Ashlyn told him everything that happened on their journey so far "I think, I know what they are looking for"

"I'll help you when we head to Ever Grande city tomorrow," Winona said before she looked at where Ashlyn was watching Alain's sister Mairin and Zoie having a Pokemon battle"Should we really not tell her?"

"Not now, someday maybe but now is not the right time" Silver answered before looking towards Spark who was the most knowledgeable about the situation 

"Should we at least tell Volkner and Riley?" Blanche asked as she held Sparks hand to comfort him

"May as well they also know about this so we'll need everyone's help," Candela said looking back at Ashlyn

"What about when she goes back on her journey?" Caroline asked worriedly

"To be honest there is very little we can do to protect without disrupting her journey, for now, all we can do is trust in all their abilities as well as their pokemon to protect them," Norman said calming his wife down

"I believe that I can upgrade their Rotom phones to include emergency features" prof. Oak said holding up a blueprint for the new feature that Prof. Magnolia sent him
