Last time with our hero, Ash has continued his journey from Viridian city to the huge forest area known as Viridian forest. Where it will lead him and his Pokemon, to their next destination that will take them to Pewter city. As Ash and his Pokemon travel through the forest, the boy took a momentary rest in an open field.
After that he then released his Pokemon team, to spend some time with them as well get to know them better. With Blaziken, giving a little hard time bonding with the boy. But manage to have her at least accept his cooking, with the female fire/fighting type punching him in the gut. For a strange and somewhat visible cut, could be seen on her. Attracting Ash's attention only to not get far, before getting that said punch to the stomach.
Once they were done with their meal and finish eating Ash; along with Gardevoir, Lucario, Ninetails and Pikachu? Began training his team to become a bit more better with their reaction times, as well preparing them for the future battles they might run into with the training turning out fruitful at the end of the day!
As Ash and his team has run into once again Team Rocket, who waited for the boy to spring their trap. In order to hopefully to steal and take his Pokemon. Only for said plan, to back fire when Ash climbed out of the hole they made and battle them to a Pokemon match!
During the commotion and harsh fight between the two of them? Has stirred a Beedrill nest nearby, angering the horde Pokemon into coming straight towards Ash and Pikachu! With a warning and help by a Samurai armor wearing boy. He informed Ash to follow him, to a nearby cabin he built nearby for when something like this would happen!
Following the boy to his cabin, Pikachu and Ash are hoping things will turn out okay for them. As well as the Beedrill horde will die down and leave. As of now they wait for when the time is right, to head on back into the forest and to the next town.
But our focus and attention will be turning over back in Pallet town. Where a mother, who after speaking with her son Ash the night of Team Rocket attack. Is looking into what Ash had informed her about his Pokemon, looking like humanoid looking women. Being intrigue and curious why her son, is the only one who can see them like that?
Decided to see if she could help solve this mystery for her son. Knowing the boy would want some answers that even Professor Oak, couldn't give to the boy when he left. As our story will now continue with Delia Ketchum, finding the mystery of the Anthro Pokemon!

Chapter 5: The Anthro mystery.
XXX
It is early in the morning in Pallet town; the Dodrio doing their usual routine of crowing of the rising sun. From over the hill tops and mountains nearby Pallet town, letting the people and Pokemon know it is morning. Waking up the sleeping inhabitants of this quiet town for their morning routine and job.
One house belonging to Delia Ketchum; has woken up very early in the morning that day. After hearing and getting informed by her son Ash last night, about being able to see the female Pokemon? Having the shape and sizes of human female bodies...it confused her at first if he was just seeing things?
But after he went on and explain to her as well as, detailing exactly what they look like? Made the mother believed the boy and said, she will look into it when she gets a chance. Which is exactly what she is doing now, sitting in front of a computer screen. Humming and moving her eyes left and right, staring at the screen with diligence.
But over the past few hours after six o'clock in the morning as well making sure, to eat breakfast. She had no luck of finding anything about Pokemon, taking on human shapes? Or at least similar too Ash's predicament? Sure there are a few instances where she was in, the right direction. Only to come up short with some of the websites or forums, being fan art of children and some older groups...
Picturing what it will be like if Pokemon, did had human figures or look like humans. Delia closes her eyes and sighs out, hanging her head down a bit. Rubbing her palm against her cheek "no matter how much I delve and research Ash's problem? I get nowhere and come up empty-handed!" Delia then leans back against her chair, stretching her arms above her head yawning out.
"I know my son and he wouldn't lie to me like that. Heck, the way his face and expression were any indications? He was telling the truth..." she then slap her hands on to the desk and pulled her chair away. To get up and pace around the living room for bit, still having a hand under her chin.
Trying to make heads or tails of what is going on, as well why Ash? Is the only one who can see his Pokemon, looking humanoid? "It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever?" Delia hummed. Stopping in the middle of the room, staring towards a picture frame with her, Ash and his father. With the glaring sun rays, blocking out the fathers face "what is it that I am not seeing...as well Professor Oak?" She pondered.
Before she could think any further or get lost in thought, she blinked her eyes and changed her attention. To the house door bell ringing, wondering who it is that is visiting this early in the morning? 'Who could that be...I wasn't expecting any visitors?' walking over towards the door.
Delia peak her head around to the side window, then gave a big smile. It was Robert's mother who is at the door, smiling and just lightly bouncing on her heels a bit. All the while adjusting her bangs a bit, while combing her hand through her blue hair. Curious of what she wants Delia, decided to make herself more presentable and approaches the door.
Opening up the door and welcoming the mother with a big smile "Mrs Arma what a surprise seeing you here. Is there anything I can do for you?" Robert's mother giggle lightly as she waved her hand, as she then looks up in thought.
"Eheh well I was going to see how you are doing? Considering I know it must be hard to let your son go out on his journey!" Mrs Arma announced rubbing the back of her head. Lying a bit on the account, she is mostly worried about her own son. Going out in the world they live in, traveling with many different kinds of people and Pokemon alike.
Mrs Ketchum laughed lightly while bringing a hand up to her mouth, knowing full well. This is Mrs Arma way of trying to calm herself down, from knowing her son is out there. Even though he is traveling with Leaf, it still doesn't mean a mother can worried. "I know how you are feeling, it's the same with Robert for you isn't it?" Delia then sighs lightly. She then looks up towards the sky feeling the soft winds, blowing against her and Mrs Arma.
"But we should know that they will be alright, they have Pokemon and friends watching over them right." She smiled at the mother, who replied by nodding her head and then blinked her eyes when Delia then asked "besides wanting to know that? Was there anything else you are here for?"
"Oh right there was actually!" The mother then stuck her tongue out lightly, as she stuck a hand down in her long-sleeve slick fabric pants pocket. Trying to find whatever it is she is looking for, and then let out a ah-ha and pulled out a small paper. "I was wondering if I could borrow one of these items from you? You see...I'm trying to make a homemade recipe but I don't have any of the ingredients. How embarrassing is that right!" Mrs Arma chuckled bashfully as Delia, took the paper from her and look through the list.
Delia then smile as she responded with a happy nod "I actually do have these, come on in and make yourself comfy. I can definitely use the company!" They both then entered inside the house, with Mrs Arma blinking her eyes and opening her mouth half way...reason why?
Well the house looks a bit messy, at least in the living area that is? With some papers and folders spread out on the coffee table, with a few of the papers falling out on the sides. Some of the cushions were on the floor indicating that Delia, was probably moving between both the floor and sofas. With a few tea cups empty and sitting neatly on the coffee table, right next to a laptop.
"Wow...and I thought I was messy when searching for something?" Mrs Arma blurted out. Carefully making her way over to the living area, picking up some of the pillows and papers off from the floor. Hearing Delia letting out an embarrassing laugh from the kitchen.
"Sorry about the mess", shouted the mother as Mrs Arma, can hear what sounded like cupboards opening up and then closing shut "been doing some research for Ash. Something he told me last night, really confused me a bit. So I went and decided to see if there were, anything I could help him with!"
Delia then let out a small yelp of surprise, from couple plates falling out from the cupboard. Although sighed out seeing it was paper plates that fell, along with some salt and pepper shakers "Everything alright?" shouted Mrs Arma. Who then chuckle from Delia stammering out that she is okay and a little shaken up.
"Okay though if you need any help, let me know? I'm in no rush", Mrs Arma replied to Ash's mom as she places. The cushions and pillows back on to the couch and then stared to the laptop...showing different windows and pop ups of information about Pokemon.
Although, what caught her attention is whats written in the search bar. "Pokemon having humanoid figures?" whispered the mother as she sat down on the couch and pulled the laptop closer. Inspecting the windows a lot closely, wondering if this is what Delia is looking up for her son?
"Do you need any paprika for your recipe?" Mrs Arma turn her head when she heard Delia asking her that, as she smiles and responded back.
"Nope, just some honey, maple and a bit of cinnamon. Those are all I need to use for my recipe, to make sweet and tasty maple cinnamon buns!" she then turned her attention back to the laptop, and started clicking on the open windows. Of what Delia manage to find or at least got the answers she needed? Though from the looks of things and the crossed out words on paper, seem like Delia had no luck.
"Hey Delia is this what you are searching up for Ash? Pokemon having human shape bodies?" at this she heard Delia tripping a bit, as well catching herself on the back of the couch. She then gently scratch the side of her cheek and closed her eyes.
"Y-yeah when Ash called me from Viridian city, as well telling me how he was doing? He brought up a very interesting question." Delia then saw Robert's mom blinking her eyes and lightly nodded her head. Letting her know she can continue and watches the mother, coming around the sofa and sitting down next to her. Placing the ingredients on the coffee table and leans back with a sigh.
"I search all morning about Pokemon, having human like shapes? But every time I try to search up some...I either get forums, of people drawing Pokemon and what they will look like if they were human? Or Pokemon that do have human shape bodies...but nothing describing what Ash told me." Delia informed. While clicking and closing out some of the windows, or websites she thought she had luck with.
Making Mrs Arma hum lightly and curious of what description Ash given his mother? "May I ask what kind of description he told you? Maybe I can help?" Delia, who look at her. Shifted her gaze towards the right and gently nibbling her lower lip "don't worry Delia, I've seen my fair share of things. When I traveled through the Pokemon world. Nothing will ever surprise me!" announced Mrs Arma, patting Delia's back couple of times.
Causing the worried mother to laugh and chuckle "that is true you traveled a lot when you were a kid. Even when you started having children..." Delia then nodded her head and began informing Robert's mother, of what Ash told her. Before hanging up the phone at Viridian city Pokemon center and went into great detail, of what the boy saw from his female Pokemon partners.
Mrs Arma listen and focus intently at Delia as she told her everything, Ash knows. As well-being a bit surprise of herself, learning how the boy started out with five Pokemon? Instead of the usual starter Pokemon but didn't question it, as it seems those four Pokemon. Were abandon by their trainers and Professor Oak, from what Delia got from the man? Said he made the right decision of letting them travel with Ash, and hope someday he will bond with all of them.
Once the story was getting into the Human descriptions? Had Mrs Arma blink her eyes wide and in shock of the details each female Pokemon bodies is presented! Even Ash telling his mother of how Professor Oak, when he showed them to Ash, did not see any signs or hints of them having human like shapes... after the story was over and the two now having couple of drinks and snacks to eat.
Made Mrs Arma hum out lightly "that is quite a story as well a lot to take in?" she then open her eyes and stare at Delia "So he is the only one who can see the girls, looking like that?" Mrs Arma asked, making Delia to nod her head slowly.
"Yeah, even after Ash calling back this morning. Told me so far nobody else but him, can see the female Pokemon like that. Even in front of Nurse Joy and another trainer." Delia then close her eyes tightly "I tried to search it up and find anything that could help my son with this mystery! But..but..." she started to shake a bit and tearing up.
"Hey, hey it's okay Delia it's okay. I'm sure there is someone out there who has this information! I mean come on." The mother then smiled at Delia, who sniffled and looks up at her. "Remember what I always say, nothing is impossible! In a world where we live with wonderful and amazing creatures, there is no doubt there has been no riddles that been fully solved yet, or been yet explained!" She then places her drink on to the coffee table and chuckled out "I'm sure there is some sort of explanation of Ash's...special trait?" Mrs Arma wasn't sure how to word it right. But figure trait will be the right thing to say, as she face at Delia. "I also have no doubt after Ash left Professor Oak's lab? He too is researching the same thing as you!"
This made Delia smile and let out a few chuckles, as she wiped away some stray tears from her eyes. She definitely can say she enjoys hanging out with Mrs Arma, she is very adventurous as well as informative. Many years of traveling as a trainer, did wonders for her and even inspired. Her two sons, to start their own journey, despite Robert. Having somewhat medical problems, the boy is still anxious and raring to go out and start his Pokemon journey!
Plus she can be quite the emotional speaker when needed "you're right Mrs Arma, I shouldn't give up just yet. Just because I haven't found anything, doesn't mean there are people out there. Who have witness the same thing as Ash or those, who had similar traits as him!" Delia then stood up with new vigor and energy.
"If you don't mind Mrs Arma, I need to head on over to Oak! I need to see if he had any luck of finding the information on this than I have!" with that and a smiling Mrs Arma. The two said their goodbyes and headed on out of the Ketchum residence, with Delia heading on over to Professor Oak. While Robert's mother head on back to her own house, as well as saying she will call some people she know. And find out if they have witness anybody with the same traits as Ash, or has heard stories about this trait being heard of?

Delia who is now walking down the streets of Pallet town, is making her way over to Professor Oaks lab. Hoping that the research professor will offer some assistance as well as, anything that could help her narrow her search down. About this mystery she is looking into about Ash's Pokemon looking human?
Walking down the peaceful and quiet home town of hers, Delia couldn't help but smile. From couple of children and their Pokemon, ran past her and circling around her. Making the mother to giggle out from their playfulness as well how much, they are getting along with Pokemon.
Even tilting her body to the left to avoid, getting bumped into by couple of Nidoran and Rattata that were chasing after the children. All in good harmless fun too. Delia couldn't help but shake her head as she continues walking down the streets, waving and greeting those she passes by.
Even some of the Pokemon movers Inc workers, who were helping new families and couples. Moving in from far away regions and places, as the boxes they were carrying looked extremely heavy and possibly irreplaceable? Though knows they will get the job done and make sure, nothing will break on their watch...at least that is how they were when she and her husband moved in.
Taking her attention away from them and facing forward. Delia is able to see the center of Pallet town, where most of the activities and shops live at. A more residential area if you were to call it, having a marvelous fountain in the center. Where people can relax and sit down next to it, or toss in some coins, to make wishes at the fountain.
It is definitely a popular fountain for the Pokemon as Delia, couldn't help but laugh at the times. When Ash would try to chase some of the wild Pokemon around the fountain, having a good time and laughing at the way. Those Pokemon will enjoy playing with him or even just resting next to the boy, when he gotten tired from chasing or playing with them!
"And now he is traveling on his journey with Pokemon, having probably a blast with them! Ooh I sure hope Ash is doing alright without me..." Delia sighed a bit, as her motherly instincts were really taking over her better judgment. She knows Ash has waited a long time to start his journey...as well waited an extra month for Professor Oak, to give Ash a starter Pokemon?
But what she didn't know is that Oak, planned on giving Ash five different Pokemon on his bid day. Four of them who got abandoned by their trainers! While one of them apparently got the worst treatment, out of them all! Which worries Delia, wondering if Ash will be able to handle a Pokemon? Who hates anyone who is a Pokemon trainer...
The mother quickly shook her head left and right, as she then leer ahead of her with a smile. "No, I know Ash can do it. There's a reason Professor Oak gave them to my son, and have no doubt he did made the right choice." She then paused her sentence. When she gotten closer to the fountain the mother couldn't help but blink her eyes at the sight before her...
It was the Nidorino who rampaged in Pallet town four years ago, as well as being the Pokemon. Who poisoned Robert, after he and Mrs Arma Jolteon, tried and protect Leaf from the wild Pokemon! Now, after four years later and calming down from that incident. The big old Pokemon be seen having a blast in this quiet town.
Carefully and making sure to watch over some of the little children, who were gathering around him. Making Delia to almost burst out in laughter, as if he was a nanny to the town children. "Hey Nidorino everything doing okay!" Delia called out towards the Pokemon. Who blinked his eyes and tilted his head around, and then smiled bright as he nodded his head.
Who would've thought after that incident? Nidorino turned out to be a big old teddy bear, and the cause of its rampage? Would make anyone laugh and feel sorry for the Pokemon...right after it attacked and poisoned Robert? The boy through sheer will and perseverance, lifted the Pokemon paw up and pulled out a thorn! A little tiny thorn that got pricked underneath the Pokemon right paw!
"Make sure you be careful around them alright, even though you're not attacking? Your horn is consider dangerous!" Delia then continued walking, smiling at the small grunt Nidorino gave out. Letting her know he understands and continues playing with the children.
Yup sure is a peaceful and quiet home town with nothing troubling them at all!

It took thirty minutes but Delia finally arrives at Professor Oaks lab. Staring and marveling the home the old man lives at, with his windmill right next to his home. Along with a wide and far acres of land to study and research, the Pokemon that inspiring trainers catches and sends back to the Professor.
Breathing in and exhaling out softly, the mother opens up the gates and walks up the flight of stairs to the home. Hoping and praying that Oak, has been researching the Anthro like Pokemon...that Delia couldn't help but giggle at the nickname Mrs Arma gave to Ash's female Pokemon. Or any female Pokemon that might take those forms for Ash?
Reaching the front door and ready to ring the doorbell, Delia blinked her eyes and winced one closed. From hearing what sounded like a shout of frustration and couple of mumbling from the other side of the door. Making her sigh and shook her shoulders in laughter... "yup I have no doubt Oak is researching this problem." and with those final thoughts and ringing the doorbell?
Delia could hear Professor Oak stumbling around inside, as well what sounded like books? Falling off from some tables or desks with the Professor, grunting and yelling out in frustration. Having a good sense of judgment he was up all night, trying to find anything about Pokemon taking human shape.
"Yes who is it and not to sound rude, but I am very busy at the moment and looking into something for a Trainer of mine." the tone was definitely one of exhaustion and reaching their limits of sanity. Making Delia giggle out and presses the intercom.
"Professor Oak its me Delia, Ash's mother. I was wondering and", she then snicker out the last part of her sentence "was wondering if I could, could help you out?" which the response from the Professor was a quick and loud oh. All the while hearing what sounded like rushing footsteps coming towards the door.
"Sorry for my tone Mrs Ketchum, ever since Ash informed me about his Pokemon. Taking on human shapes the day he left? Had me very curious about it and started doing research for if, anything like this happened before." Oak voice rang out through the door and then reveals the tired Professor behind it. After he opens it up and allows Delia to come in.
The mother waved her hands in a 'I'm in the same boat as you' fashion. Making the old man to smile and close the door behind her "sorry about the mess...been none stop looking into this problem. Hoping that I could help Ash out in some way or another."
"I'm sure he will be grateful just to know, you are looking into this Professor. As am I, I too am trying to help solve this mystery for my boy. But..." Delia then look down at the corner of her shoulder. Showing signs that she like Oak, is not having much luck.
Delia then look at the old man who proceeded to walk down the living room, making sure to bend down and pick up. Whatever books he accidentally knocked off from his desks or coffee table "Professor Oak is it possible for Pokemon, to have human shape bodies? I mean real human like figures?" The mother asked. Following the professor throughout the house and towards the back, where his lab is.
Having the scientist to hum out and places some books under his arms "well...it is possible for Pokemon, looking almost identical to humans. But nothing of what Ash described to us, let alone any Pokemon resembling closely to a human? Besides Machop, Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee..." he then opens up the sliding door to his lab.
Having Delia nod her head of where he is coming from as it is true, most if not a lot of Pokemon? Can resemble close to a human, but not all of them will look almost identical to one, except those that were mention and probably the Gardevoir and Gallade evoluitions? "There has been some Pokemon, like Ditto or those who have the ability to use a move called transform, but that will be the most closest thing for Pokemon too look human." The two of them were now approaching a large computer like screen.
Having Delia a good idea this is where most of Oaks time is spent at? Seeing so many articles and rumors about pokemon. Spread out on the screen with a few forums and message boards, from the Pokemon officials themselves. Responding back to Oak, informing him that they are doing their best. Of looking into this matter but are having no luck "whatever it is Ash has? It is definitely one big mystery that even I, or the other researchers can figure out."
"Same here, Mrs Arma came by this morning and after explaining to her of whats going on?" Delia then let out a small sigh and sat down on a nearby desk, closing her eyes in defeat. "Told me she will help me out and see if any of her friends, or those she met on her journey? Ever had experience this, which I told her to call me here if that is okay Professor?"
"Not at all dear any help be appreciated! As well I do have to update her about Robert's progress anyway!" joked Professor Oak. Smiling at Delia who couldn't help but giggle at the man's heart, of watching over the trainers who set out on their journey.
Delia then look up towards the computer screen, seeing some photo's and bad photography of people. Witnessing this kind of phenomenon of Pokemon, taking on human like figures. Or sightings of a newly discovered Pokemon that has never been seen before!
Even some forums that Delia herself, had look into but still had no luck. "Hey Professor...?" Delia then hops away from the desk, getting the man to blink his eyes at her and watches her walk over to the computer "what if...we are searching through the wrong ones?"
This had rising Oak's brows...wondering what did she mean if they were searching through the wrong ones? He waited until she continue speaking, "now hear me out...as well sometime? Whenever I speak or hang out with Mrs Arma when we were kids, she would tell me the most incredible or amazing stories. That I thought were true as a kid..." she then giggled out "only knowing the truth that Mrs Arma, likes to tell exaggerated things when we were kids." this earn a snort from Oak. As he is all to familiar with the mother's imagination at the time.
In which surprisingly rubbed off to her second son Robert. But this is bringing up an interesting point to Oak, as Delia might have a point? "I am wondering and this is just a guess..." she continued while turning around and face at Oak. Leaning gently on the computer keyboards "what if instead of looking into the present, but instead our history?"
This had made Professor Oak to hum out and think this through. "That...actually might help us solve this mystery more, or at least be a great lead to look into?" He spun his chair around and pulls it closer to the computers keyboards "what brought this up if you don't mind me asking?" he asked while looking towards the mother. Who turned around and faces at the computer...
"Just something Mrs Arma brought up as a child, which is to me. Sounded a little ridicules then, but now am not sure? If it is true or not..." she paused. Going through her memories of what exactly, her friend told her that sounded a little off world? "This one region she went too had a library, with one of the books she read...stated of humans and Pokemon living together?"
From the tone and sound of Delia's voice, Professor Oak. Has a feeling even she herself wasn't sure or can't exactly remembered what it was she got told of, but Pokemon and Humans living together is a good start to search.
"Well that doesn't narrow anything down, but like my good friend Rowan. In the Sinnoh region once told me? Take whatever evidence or lead you have. Even if it is a small lead, it will be a good start to take." Oak then starting typing on the computer. Only to then smile as he realizes "which means...we have been searching in the wrong region!"
Delia raised an eyebrow of what Professor Oak just said, as well stating that they have searched in the wrong region? "I'm sorry Professor but I am not...really catching on what you mean?" the mother then watched the Professor, typing away on his computer. Bringing up what looked to be old research folders and files of past adventures. He used to do as a young Pokemon trainer, before becoming a Pokemon researcher.
"It is quite simple Mrs Ketchum!" He started while looking up at his computer screen "you see every region and place has their own legends and mysteries behind them. Are completely different from one to another and since Kanto and Sinnoh historic will be completely different from one another?" and then the professor let out an Ah, when the files he found on the computer. Opened up with old research data that, he has done in the Sinnoh region.
Moving the mouse and clicking on the folders, the two were blinking their eyes at the many files and data. The professor has done in the Sinnoh region, surprising the mother very immensely of how, serious the old man was when he was young!
"Should be around here somewhere...just need to remember exactly where I put it." The professor muttered out while humming to himself and scrolling the screen down. Much this is good and all, this still doesn't answer Delia's question? What does Sinnoh have to do with her son, and what connection do the two have?
"Professor seriously what does Sinnoh's mystery has to do with Ash?" The mother then lean back a bit, when the old man smiled widened and double clicked on to a folder. He then smiles at her and points at the screen wanting her to look at his findings.
Doing so and looking towards the screen, the mother eyes nearly bulged out in pure shock! Of the title the folder contained as well the written text document it has, making her nearly speechless and leaning up against the edge of the computer console, reading silently of the words for the main head liner.
"Pokemon and Humans marrying..one another?! Professor that", Delia was about to protest to the man, ready to defend herself. Thinking that the old man, probably thought the reason Ash could see his female partners with humanoid figures, is because she might have gotten intimate with a POKEMON!?
"Whoa, whoa hear me out Delia please! No way would I ever connect you or Ash with a Pokemon! Honest! I am not thinking like that at all", he then reassured her that this article he made. Was about the past, their ancestors at the most. Relieving some tension away from the mother and calming her down, as he got through to her and telling her has nothing to do with her or a Pokemon.
"But! It brings up an excellent topic about our ancestors who did live with these Pokemon. Or marrying them that it could have something to do, with our strong connection and bond with these Pokemon and even having...and this is a WILD guess!" Oak said swinging both arms away from each other. Emphasizing the word 'Wild' in his sentence.
"I am thinking that maybe the reason Ash, is able to see his female Pokemon partners like that? As well probably many others he might run into?" He then paused and took a breath, letting this information sink into the mother's head. As she is staring at him with a lot of focus and nodded her head, to letting him know to continue. "Might be because of either A) Having one of his ancestors bloodline, from whom they gotten together with their Pokemon. Being really strong that will allow Ash, to see the Pokemon for who they are or B", this is where he had to stop and think really hard.
Cause after he said 'B' it cause Delia to stop from whatever she is about to say, in turn might be right of what she is about to say? Meaning if that is true then how come she can't see the Pokemon, like Ash does? "This...this is where I am leaning more into, and that is whatever Ash has in his DNA? Will behave like a generation kind of deal."
This had Delia stare a bit for couple minutes, then five minutes and immediately let out a "OH! Sort of like a family trait that will skip at least one generation of said family? But on to the next generation of kids, they belong too right?"
Professor Oak smiled and nodded his head "exactly I have a feeling the reason, you aren't able to see the Pokemon like Ash does? Might be because it skipped your generation and became really strong for Ash. Making him probably and I am using this term loosely", he quickly explained. Letting Delia know that he isn't sure if Ash? Out of all the Kanto residences is the only one, who can see the Pokemon in this way?
"Is the only trainer and person to ever have a strong DNA, from whatever ancestors you or his father grew up with? Giving him this remarkable gift he has been given." The professor then chuckled at Delia. Who plop herself on a nearby chair and, resting a hand up against her forehead "I know a lot to take in, but remember Delia? This is all speculation I am not positive, of what we found and research is true or not. I still need to delve deeply into it, as well speak with other Professors." Oak then got up from his chair and stretching out his arms.
"About them running into something like this? So please...go home, get some rest and relax for the rest of the day? Okay, I'm sure everything will come together eventually so try to soak in what we discovered today slowly alright?" He explain to her as the mother gave a light sigh and smiled gently.
The professor is right it wouldn't do good, if her mind is so fixated on what they've discovered today? As well as keeping her away from doing her regular chores and activities for the day. After all she still has some cleaning to do, get some lunch in her stomach and watch her daily soaps on the television!
"You are right professor I should definitely take it easy, especially now having a good idea. Of why Ash is able to see his Pokemon like that?" She smiled and got up from her chair and patted down against her dress. She then shook hands with the professor "although definitely had fun researching this up for Ash! Who knew it could be exciting of discovering something, you never seen before!"
"I know right! This is why I chose this profession when I was a trainer, seeing and discovering new things everyday. Especially life and the beauty of what Pokemon, can offer to us!" the two then started laughing and headed on out of the lab.

It sure was thrilling and exciting today for Delia Ketchum. Going up the hill and visiting with Professor Oak, hanging out with Mrs Arma this morning, chatting and discussing what they should do about Ash's special trait. Along with said mother going out and giving some calls, to some friends that might know something like what she and Oak discovered?
Getting more involve and helping out her son, despite him not being here in pallet town. It was still awesome to still being able to be a Mother, helping out her child who is out on his Pokemon journey. Knowing he is still trusting of her and wanting to get some help from his mother, despite traveling by himself.
Yeah it was definitely an awesome day for her as Delia is standing in front of her home. Smiling brightly and just staring openly at her house and every meaning it had behind it. Before she could reminisce any further or get lost in her train of thought again. Delia hummed out and stared at her mailbox, seeing a piece of paper hanging out. With the signature of Mrs Arma's handwriting...
"Oh I wonder if she came up with the same conclusion as Oak and I?" Delia pondered out loud. Grabbing the paper and pulling it out from her mailbox, she then open the paper and began reading through of what Robert's mother discovered. Only to then lean her face closer and re-reading it again, with a wide eye expression and shouting out "NO WAY!?" and ran straight towards her house, ready to make a phone call. Too Professor Oak despite already leaving his house not so long ago, even though this is an emergency! As the paper she was holding swerve and floated down on to the ground, revealing the paragraphs that got her attention the most!
"Delia you will not believe this! I called some friends that I've met during my travels and have run into, asking them if they ever heard anything of Ash's special trait? Well color me surprised when one of them, responded back and had informed me...that yes! This special trait of what Ash has is true! It's a rare DNA to that of our ancestors! A very rare and special trait that only seem to happen, when an Ancestor family tree is very strong in it. So I highly suggest you either research your ancestors or your husband ancestors, as well family history? To see if any of your old relatives or family members, used to have this trait! Okay see ya, now I am curious if my family ancestors might have this!"
Today has definitely gotten more interesting as Delia did as instructed, right after she calls and tell professor Oak about his theory and guessing about their ancestors and family tree? Having a strong connection with this special trait? Once she finishes up her call with Professor Oak, she will then immediately start making phone calls to her close relatives to get some answers, as well getting really excited! Hoping that they will offer any information about this and curious, if they had at least one family member having this strong gift!
There was only one thing that is running through Delia mind now, as she is smiling and giggling to herself "I cannot wait and tell Ash the great news! Man will my son be surprised!"
As our journey will continue with Ash and his Pokemon, reaching Pewter City. To face and fight his very first Gym battle and win his first gym badge, what will wait for our Hero in his first Gym league battle? As our adventure continues!
