Koga & Janine Gaiden

**Koga & Janine Gaiden**is the second Gaiden sidestory in the expanded universe of *Pokémon Reset Bloodlines.*It is also the second sidestory written by Crossoverpairinglover and the second sidestory overall.

It stars Koga as he raises his daughter, Janine, in different lessons including Pokémon training and the ninja arts throughout the years, in order to prepare her to eventually succeed him as the Fuchsia Gym Leader, while he aims to take a spot in the Kanto Elite Four.

## Plot

A young Janine is being trained by her father Koga, who's teaching her the first rule of the ninja: "one must observe all factors of your surroundings". Through an earpiece radio, Koga asks Janine what she can tell about the place where she is, without using her eyes. Janine, blindfolded and standing atop a rock in the wilderness, decides to listen to the sound of the wind, sensing its direction and speed, the noises it makes while rustling the trees' leaves. She then sniffs the smell of many flowers, and then kicks off her shoes to sense the soil she's standing on, quickly determining its composition through the touch. She deduces that there's no signs of life, suggesting that her father scared away every Pokémon. Koga is pleased, and then teleports in with his Venomoth to congratulate her. Janine notes how Koga compares himself to his own father in terms of the things he does *not* want to do. Regardless, she passed his trial, and a reward is due with ice-cream.

Sometime later, Koga teaches Janine and several others of his students the second rule of the ninja: "One must accomplish your given task with everything you possess, under any restriction". To prove his point, he hangs a target out of everyone's reach, and no one is allowed to leave the room until they mark it, which sends the students into a frenzy since it's Eggwich day at the cafeteria. To top it off, they can't use thrown weapons, or any method another student has tried. After the students try and fail one after another, Janine simply throws a Pokéball and sends her Venonat to retrieve it. She's latter shown happily eating at the cafeteria.

Much later, Koga shows to Chief Lin the deficiencies in her security system, by having his daughter prove to her the fourth rule of the ninja: "a ninja must be able to escape anything with the tools at their disposal and their pre-existing abilities". While Chief Lin is confident that their security is strong enough to prevent Janine from escaping her cell, listing every measure she set up, she's quickly proven vulnerable to subterranean assaults, when Janine summons a group of Diglett and Dugtrio to do the job for her.

Even later, Janine lays asleep on a couch, passed out from learning ninja arts and Pokémon battling. Koga considers that she is almost ready to succeed him in his ninja school and clan, and as the Fuchsia Gym Leader. He then approaches his bookshelf, noting several of the tomes he'd acquired, inherited or created for years. He especially takes notice of the book of The Tale of Obito the Teleporter, one of his and Janine's ancestors, he was a Ninja who had fought during the second Ninja Wars, and a Bloodliner who possessed the power to teleport, but unfortunately he died without siring any children, with their lineage being traced to Obito's older sister Feng of the Beedrill: a master of Mega Evolution and the ancient toxin weapon Suzumebachi, and whose Mega Stone and Key Stone lay in the family shrine, only to be used in times of need.

Koga then ponders how, despite Obito and Feng being siblings, none of Feng's descendants shared inherited the power to teleport, which still remained dormant even when for the past decade and a half many Bloodlines had begun to resurface, leaving him to wonder if Janine, now sixteen years old, could have awakened it had she been born one year later, but injuries he suffered in the past after Janine's birth ensured he'd wouldn't sire any more children to find out, and through the ninja laws of arranged marriages Janine's only option is completely out of the question.

Regardless, he intends to observe the Bloodliner Baby Boom and learn more about Bloodliners now that Janine was of age to handle herself, and now he wants to focus on strengthening his clan, and become an Elite Four member.

The final scene shows a fourteen-year-old Ash helping Delia in their garden.
