Alish

**Alish** is a young Fire Heart Bloodliner from Cinnabar Island, and Blaine's granddaughter. She aspires to take over the island's gym from her grandfather when he retires. To be worthy she wants to become a Fire Pokémon Master and capture every single Fire-type Pokémon in the world.

Before she started her journey, she would often seek out potential challengers for the Cinnabar Gym.

## History

### The New Timeline (Past)

Alish's parents had a lot of difficulties when they were trying to have a child. She was only conceived after a specifically chosen gamete carrying the X-Chromosome was introduced. Her parents died in a fire when she was three, so she was raised by her grandfather.

Growing up, Alish was very close to Blaine's Pokémon, even being able to understand them perfectly. When Alish was six she came down with a terribly high fever, though she did not feel ill at all. Her grandfather was able to recognize the symptoms as a Pokémon, holding back an Overheat attack. As such they discovered that she was a Fire Heart Bloodliner.

### Battle Dome Tournament Arc

Alish came across Raymond, who was on the island to challenge the Gym Leader. She gave him directions before running home to tell Blaine about the potential challenger. When Raymond arrived at the gym, Alish acted as referee for the match. To her delight, Blaine's Growlithe easily won the first two rounds. To her surprise, the challenger was so upset about this that he broke the rules by sending out three Pokémon at once. Alish disqualified him, but he proceeded to both battle and lost to Blaine's Growlithe anyways.

After the match Alish was talking with her grandfather when he surprised her with an early birthday present, a newly hatched Eevee. She was disappointed that she could not understand Eevee, but Blaine reminded her that it could one day evolve into a Flareon and at that time she should be able to understand it. Mollified, Alish took Eevee out to play.

The next day Alish collected all of her savings and purchased a Fire Stone at the local Pokémart. She then evolved Eevee right away hoping that it could be as strong as her grandfather's. When she excitedly showed Blaine, to her astonishment he was not as pleased as she thought he would be. Blaine explained that Pokémon that evolved from stones often have difficulties learning moves that they would normally be able to learn in their pre-evolved state. That is why it is important to train the pre-evolved Pokémon and bring out their potential before evolving. Alish was devastated by this news, she had promised Flareon that it would be the strongest of its species anywhere, but she sabotaged this before the journey even began. She then ran off to the abandoned Pokémon Mansion, where she would often go to hide when she was upset.

When she got there, Flareon caught up to her and comforted her saying that it wasn't her fault and they would work past this together. When they were preparing to leave, they both heard a noise deep in the mansion. Originally Alish passed it off as one of the many Pokémon residing there, but Flareon pointed out that the mansion seemed to be mysteriously empty. The duo decided to investigate so that they could protect the Pokémon that Alish had previously befriended that lived there. When they checked the basement they found a Team Rocket grunt with a bunch of the local Pokémon unconscious on the floor around him. Flareon jumped out to take him on. Scared for Flareon, Alish followed and confronted the grunt, who sent out a Slowpoke to battle them. Flareon had a lot of difficulties with the Slowpoke, being both unable to deal much damage as well as the real possibility of being defeated with a single attack. Eventually the grunt got bored and had Slowpoke use Confusion the slam the Fire-type repeatedly into the floor. Restrained, Flareon wasn't able to do anything as Slowpoke charged up a final Water Pulse with the goal to seriously injure him. Concerned for her starter's well being, Alish became incredibly upset and her Bloodline began to act up. She unleashed a powerful Overheat at the Water-type defeating it, but this exhausted her and she dropped to the ground unable to move.

Alish was terrified for both her and Flareon's safety, until she saw her grandfather appear behind the Team Rocket member and punched him out. Blaine then had his Magmortor blast the grunt through a window and this was the last thing she saw before she lost consciousness.

When she awoke she was back in her bedroom with Flareon licking her face. Blaine came in and suggested that she train with his Pokémon so that both she and Flareon could become stronger.

### Cinnabar Arc

Alish had the local Don George host a mini-tournament to determine the order of challenging Blaine the next day. When she was looking over the contestants she was surprised and happy to see Ash in the crowd. After seeing him on T.V., she knew that he could give her grandpa a proper challenge. She ran up to him and declared that she hoped he would win. She watched the tournament from the stands and to her delight Ash did prove to be the victor, winning against Raymond of all people. She congratulated him and upon hearing that they did not have a place to stay the night suggested her family inn. That night she warned Misty, Iris and Anabel not to get too close to the fence separating genders for the hot springs as they might get burned.

The next day Alish watched the battle in the stands with the three other girls. When Ash had Goodra use Rain Dance as an attack to defeat her grandfather's Magcargo, she was amazed and was further so when Misty claimed that Ash probably just came up with that on the spot. She continued to have a lot of fun commenting on the battle with the others. When Houndoom made his appearance, Alish was surprised before relenting that his old age probably qualified him for a seventh badge opponent. When Ash caught his flying Goodra, Alish was impressed by the strength that it must have taken.

After the match Alish approached her grandfather asking if he thought that they too were Bloodliners. When he answered in the affirmative, she was about to ask if she should travel with them, but he predicted this and interrupted her saying not too so as not to experience the type of teen drama they were currently experiencing.

### Mewtwo Arc

Alish watched her grandfather have a gym battle against Fergus, after which the two returned home to make cookies and set up the Christmas tree.

### Year Two Unspecified Arc

Alish found a locket that she put on. When she did so, the locket possessed her and used her to take over an Entei. She and the legendary then roamed Johto setting forest fires. Eventually they were stopped by a team of G-Men who removed the locket from her and then destroyed it, freeing her.
