Anabel/History

## The New Timeline (Past)

Anabel was in a car accident with her parents when she was very young. Neither of her parents survived the accident and Anabel lost the ability to use her voice. Anabel's uncle took her in and raised her as his own. Unlike many parents of Bloodliners, he was supportive of her gifts when they awakened, and raised her to use them to help others.

## Poison War Arc

Anabel was in Gringy City when Belladonna's group took over and shut down the power plant. When the power went out, Anabel proceeded to the power plant to investigate. There she came upon the battle between Misty and Vedia. When Vedia gained the upper hand, Anabel intervened and incapacitated the Shadow Sneak user.

She along with Misty met up with Ash and Iris, where Misty invited her to travel with the group. Not having any reason to say no, along with finally finding some other Bloodliners she could speak with, Anabel accepted the offer. That night, she did some stargazing with Misty until Iris joined them questioning why anyone would look at the stars for fun.

After joining up with Ash again in the morning, Anabel was embarrassed to accidentally get glimpses of the boy's dreams from the night before. This prompted them all to talk about the new revelations Ash had about his family situation during breakfast. They were then approached by a drunk sailor who brought out all of his Pokémon to fight the teens with. Anabel along with the others were easily able to defeat the drunk's team. After the battle a waitress approached them and offered them a free lunch thanks to her workplace, the Baratie's, policy of rewarding a free meal to anyone who defeats an employee in battle.

After lunch the group headed towards Fuchsia City on foot, but when a storm rolled in Anabel took it upon herself to teleport the group to their destination. There are a couple days until a tournament that Ash, Misty and Iris plan to enter is scheduled for so the group do some training to pass the time. While Ash was trying to figure out how to use Foresight himself, Anabel offered to help as she had some experience with teaching herself the similar working Miracle Eye.

A couple hours later the earth began to rumble and Ash recognized a small herd of Tauros stampeding towards town. The group then had their Pokémon help some Ponyta riders, Lara Laramie and Hex, stop them. As thanks the two invited Anabel and her friends to come to the local festival for the upcoming Big P Pokémon Race. They agree and Lara leads them all to the Pokémon Big P Ranch. Later after both ranch hands end up getting injured, Ash volunteers to ride in Lara's place in the race so that they can prevent a man named Dario, who has a history of cheating, from winning the right to join the Laramie Clan. While not being against it, Anabel is surprised by Ash's willingness to get involved, so talks to Misty a bit about Ash's character. She is happy to learn that Ash is just a very generous and kind person.

During the race, Anabel kept a telekinetic connection active with Ash and Misty who were riding in the race, Iris who was watching the race atop Ash's Charizard, and Misty's Starmie who was patrolling the wide river that would have to be crossed. She helped organize actions that needed to be performed to mitigate any cheating attempts by Dario, such as informing them about fake platforms to help cross the river and having Iris help take down some goons who were hired to interfere with Dario's opponents.

After the race while on the way back to Fuchsia City, Ash admitted to Anabel and the other girls that he accidentally used his second Bloodline to pull ahead and eventually win the race. He was feeling very guilty for it so Anabel tried to help cheer him up by pondering if Bloodlines abilities sometimes manifest on their own when they are needed by their users. In this case his need was to help Lara because she needed his assistance.

## Fuchsia Arc

Anabel attended the Fuchsia Tag Tournamnet as a spectator to watch Ash, Misty and Iris compete. During Misty and Iris' first battle, Red invited Ash, Anabel and their friends to eat dinner with him and Yellow. After meeting up at the designated time, Anabel lamented to herself on how she was unable to converse with the others as she had been growing used to. She only half listened to the conversation as she couldn't contribute, and listened to others around them with the rest of her attention. Her attention was brought back to her own table when Red told their party his last name while frowning at her. Embarrassed at being caught she started focusing on the discussion in front of her. When Ash's Pokédex brought up Ash and Red's similarities, Anabel started comparing the two, deciding that it was their behavior that deviated the most. In her opinion, Red lacked the cheeriness that she was beginning to associate with Ash. The discussion then turned to Ash's Yanma and strengths, and Anabel heard echoes of Ash's memories of his confrontation with Paul about Chimchar from The Old Timeline, though was unable to decipher where they were coming from.

Later while watching Lilo battle in the tournament, she, Ash, Red and Yellow were talking about the Alolan, Red revealed the Pokémon of her's that he had battled including an Alolan Exeggutor. Upon learning that it had lost the Psychic typing in favor of gaining Dragon, Anabel was very confused on what benefit losing the ability to levitate things would provide.

That evening, one of the girls received a call from Lara and Hex explaining that Dario was missing under mysterious circumstances. After the three informed Ash about this, they were approached by Red and Yellow. Red revealed that both he and Yellow were Bloodliners, this greatly pleased Anabel as she was able to converse in their presence. This happiness only lasted until Ash and Red got in an argument about whether using their abilities in competition was permissible. She didn't have a strong opinion on the matter herself but was empathetic to both Ash and Red's feelings.

The next day after Ash and Red had pulled off a narrow win in the tournament, Anabel, Ash and the other girls debated on whether Ash or Red was right in their argument. With the most neutral viewpoint, Anabel tried to act as a mediator of sorts. She explained that the two likely grew up in very different situations and didn't have the right to judge each other without knowing all the facts.

When the group headed towards the Safari Zone to take advantage of Ash's tournament prize, Anabel noted a pair of old Pokégear spilling out of a trash bag. When she picked them up in nostalgia, the Pokédex suggested it use them as side bodies for itself. Anabel and the other girls thought this a good idea as they could split up and still have access to the machine's knowledge. Once they were in the Safari Zone, they split up with Ash and Iris on their own and Anabel going with Misty. The plan being that Anabel would be able to teleport between the groups if someone found something interesting or they needed more Safari Balls from Ash. During a break where the two girls were speaking Anabel joked about Ash maybe finding an Eevee. Misty and her both agreed that they would want one themselves if they were to find one. After Misty manages to catch some more Pokémon they meet up with Iris as she found a Gible she would like to catch for herself. Right after Iris does so, to their surprise an Eevee jumps out of a nearby tree. Anabel immediately offers it an apple, and when the Normal-type accepts the two begin to bond and it agrees to be captured by her.

Over the next couple days Anabel and the other girls help Ash practice for his Fuchsia City gym battle, during which Ash asked her not to tell him if she accidentally learned anything about his opponents. When it became time for Ash's challenge, Anabel and her friends set out towards the gym where they ran into an invisible wall. After a discussion they determined that it was an entire invisible maze and Anabel would teleport the group through the maze to avoid the hassle of trying to find their way. After making it to Janine the battle commenced and Anabel quickly picked up the Stealth Rock strategy she planned to use against Ash from the Gym Leader's mind. This worried her because it was something that Ash's team was weak to, but she kept it to herself to respect Ash's wishes. To her delight, Ash was able to overcome the challenge in his battle and earn his badge.

## Stuff In Between Arc

After a day of training, during which Iris got Anabel to do some physical training herself, much like the other girl and Ash had been doing for the last few days, Anabel was tiredly walking through some woods alongside Ash. Ash offered to get Chansey out to help her recover, but she denied thinking that it wasn't needed. Suddenly the two heard the Team Rocket trio's motto and rushed over to see what was going on. They found Jessie, James and Meowth attempting to steal an old man's two shiny Wingull. Ash and Pikachu were quick on dealing with the criminals, causing the three to blast off into the horizon. The old man thanked them all and introduced himself as Masuda, before inviting them to a party that was going to be held the next day in Stone Town.

The next day they arrived to the party and Anabel was quick to notice that there was a motorbike nearby that did not match the high brow atmosphere very well. They joined the party either way and when one of their hosts, Pyro, tried to convince their younger brother, Mikey, to evolve his Eevee, Anabel noted that he had forgotten about the evolutions outside of Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon. When the other two hosts, Rainer and Sparky, challenged Ash to a battle to try to prove the importance of evolution, Anabel and Misty quickly regrouped up with him and the Psychic Heart Bloodliner explained that she had heard the brothers had recently lost their mother and have been in a confrontational mood because of it. Ash was then joined by a mysterious woman to battle the two brothers which they were able to win without too much trouble.

Days later Anabel and Iris went running to improve Anabel's endurance. After which they met back up with Ash and Misty so the four of them could train their Pokémon alongside their Bloodliner abilities. Anabel and Ash met up so that she could try to assist him in learning Psychic, but she had to stop part way through due to her exhaustion from the previous running. She removed her shirt with her telekinetic abilities to try to help cool off, much to Ash's embarrassment. She used the opportunity to tease him a bit before she suddenly began to feel her exhaustion be washed away. She was able to identify that Ash had figured out how to use Heal Pulse, so she asked him to apply it directly to her bare shoulders. With the direct contact she felt that she should be able to trace how the energy flows between them. While Ash healed her, Anabel confessed that she was self conscious about her physical ability compared to him and their friends. He was able to cheer her up by reminding her of her strengths, at which time her hands began to glow with a Heal Pulse of her own.

A couple mornings later, Anabel noticed that her hair had grown quite a bit. Coincidentally Ash mentioned noticing this when they stumbled into each other later that morning. After Anabel indicated she was wanting to cut it, Ash let slip that he liked her longer hair. This made Anabel reconsider getting a trim as well as provided her prime teasing material for Ash's apparent fascination with long hair.

Later the group managed to make it to a city in time to take advantage of Princess Day shopping sales. Anabel along with Misty and Iris dragged Ash around with them so that they could restock on their essentials as well as replace anything that was in need of it. Anabel replaced her daily outfit with one she bought among many others, and purchased furniture to use in the secret bases that they typically slept in while traveling.

One morning after they were back on the road the group met up to prepare for the day, when suddenly an Abra appeared, grabbed Ash and quickly teleported away with no notice.
