Chapter 1 : Julianne Connor.

Julianne couldn't remember anything about her past, she knew only her name and that she was alone. She woke up in blood stained tattered clothes, that were barely decent, she was weak, abused, and alone. That was when Delia Ketchum found her while bike riding out to find a special root to make a new recipe she found. Delia had saw her arm poking out from under a bush. Delia rushed over dropping her bike to the ground she quickly pulled the body from under the bush, seeing the bruises, and holes in her skin around her arms from injections. Her hair was a light caramel and, her eyelashes were long and dark. The young woman could have been more than sixteen years old, she was pretty petite looking with a nice body shape. Delia called for Mr. Mime who had been riding behind her,

"Mimie, grab her and we'll take her to the house." Delia said with a concerned tone etched into her voice.

"Mr. Mime!" he said picking up the battered girl. Delia rode ahead to get a bath running and to set up Ash's room He hadn't been back since his twentieth birthday he was busy finishing college and setting up his own gym. He would be turning twenty one in a few weeks. Delia ran into her house and quickly let started the bath with lukewarm water, Delia liked to take care of people it was something she was exceptional at.

"Just let me undress her, Mimie. I'll be fine in here alone." Delia said as she gingerly removed each bit of clothing that was stuck to the girl. There was dry blood all over, her lip was swollen, her clothes were tattered, and she had multiple bruises on the various parts of her body. Delia struggled to get the young woman into the tub gently. The dried blood began to become moist with the warmth of the water that was slowly but surely turning a rosy pink color. Delia washed the girl carefully before standing her up and wrapping a towel around her.

"Mimie, can you carry her to Ash's old room?" Delia said as she pulled the drain on the bathtub's faucet. The girl was now clean and laying as if she were in a peaceful sleep in Ash's bed. Delia walked downstairs into her living room and turned on the television, for a little bit she heard Ash was going to be being interviewed today. She looked at her handsome son's face his deep brown eyes and jet black hair were a treasure to her. Delia ran down to Professor Oak's laboratory sure he was no doctor but he could do a thorough examination on the unconscious girl in Delia's house. She walked in the lab smelled of sanitation products.

"Samuel! I need to ask you a favor." Delia said as she saw him standing at a table he was looking at two pictures.

"Yes, Delia. What do you need?" he asked her she looked up at him with strong determined eyes.

"I found a girl on the side of the road today, and I know you aren't a doctor for people but I really need you to check her out and tell me if she'll be alright. I'm really worried." Delia told him he looked at her in slight disbelief.

"You found a girl on the side of the road?" he asked aloud in shock, she nodded at him he followed her out the door and to her house, she lead him upstairs where the young woman lay wrapped in only a towel a very responsible Mr. Mime watching over her. Professor Oak looked at the young woman, and began his examination, he looked up at Delia. Who looked at him with a concerted face, he wore a sad look on his aged face.

"This young woman, has been tortured in a way that I didn't even think people would consider. They tried to create a hybrid of human and pokemon, she was a failed experiment so they disposed of her. But not after using her as a slave…she's been abused in ways a young woman shouldn't ever have to even know exists." Samuel said to Delia she covered her mouth and looked towards the sleeping teenager.

"I think I have some of my granddaughter's old clothes that will fit her, I'll send them over with Mimie." Samuel said Mr. Mime followed him, Delia looked at the teenage girl who was still unconscious and started to braid her long wavy hair, in a French braid. Mr. Mime came back with a box of clothes. Delia started to dress the young women in the essentials and a blue knee length night gown. Delia looked at the bruises that would be healing soon enough with some muscle rub that Oak had sent over.

It was later that night when she heard someone sobbing, Delia sprung from bed and ran to the room where the girl was now wide awake her eyes were almost scary to look at, they were a neon like blue with cat pupils. She was sitting in the corner crying loudly. 'Who are you?' a voice filled Delia's head, it was soft and scared as she looked carefully at the young woman.

"My name is Delia Ketchum, I found you this morning on the side of the road." Delia said gently coming slowly towards the girl, she felt a force pushing her back gently a warning nudge.

"Where am I?" the girl said out loud looking at Delia, those eyes they were so intense, so scared, and deprived of love.

"Your at my house, in Pallet Town. I was worried that you were going to die…" Delia said.

"I don't remember anything…except…my name is Julianne Connor." she said standing up Delia attempted again to walk towards the young woman, who this time allowed it. Delia looked at her where the bruises and wounds had all healed rapidly.

"If you want you can stay here and be apart of my family, I'll take care of you like you are my own." Delia said, the girl looked up to her and saw happiness in the young girl's face, Delia moved forward and wrapped her arms around Julianne. Julianne hadn't felt such warmth in her entire life and let her arms wrap around Delia.


A/N : It seems to me that most people review easier to stories with shorter chapters so I'm gonna go with that theory. Anyways this is just a prologue type thing. Ash will be in the next chapter, as will Gary, Brock, and maybe even Misty. Review.
