We come in on a boy running through a small town named Pallet, and shouting "I'M LATE!". The boy was running and shouting because he had woken up late to get his first Pokemon. He ran past a boy flaunting about a Squirtle, and into a laboratory. He asked a white haired man, "Professor Oak, do you have any Pokemon left?" to which the response was, "I do, but it isn't really for beginners."
"It'll be fine. We'll be best friends and become Pokemon Masters!"
Oak handed Ash a Pokeball with a lightning bolt sticker on it. "Here's your Pokemon. Give me a call when you get to Viridian."
"I will, Professor! Bye!" And he runs out.

Ash was on Route 1, and had stopped to rest. Suddenly, a scream was heard, and Ash ran toward it. when he got there, he saw a Pokemon he didn't recognize. It was bipedal, had blue and black fur, black… things coming from the backs of their heads, and had distinct canine features. The Pokedex had no information, but then the Pokemon talked.
"Come… closer… please…" Ash did as it said, and walked closer, now noticing the blood coming from the wounds on its chest. Ash ran closer and said, "Is there any way I can help?" The Pokemon said, "Please… take care of my child… Keep him safe… Don't let the bad man get him…" Ash looked at it confused, and said, "What did this 'Bad man' look like? Is he the one who did this to you?" The Pokemon nodded, and said, "His Pokemon… a Persian, called him 'Master Giovanni…' He wore an orange suit and had brown hair." Ash looked at the Pokemon, and noticed that there was an egg near it, which he picked up and put into an incubator. He then turned to the Pokemon, and asked again, "Is there anyway for me to help you? I can take you to a Pokemon Center."
The Pokemon shook its head, and said, "You can't help… I'm too… far gone… Please… take care… of my son… my little Nick… My young Riolu…" It then drew its last breath, and Ash cried. He cried for a long time, and didn't stop until his Pikachu electrocuted him. Ash noticed that he had angered some Spearow, and they ran, Ash picking up Pikachu as they went, but, they came to a cliff. Ash jumped into the water, and thought to himself as he swam away from a Gyarados, 'I've got to get to the surface!' He felt a tug on his collar, and suddenly he was on the ground, and a girl with red hair was saying, "Oh, a boy… And a pokemon! Is it breathing!?" Ash looked at Pikachu worriedly, and said yeah, but I need to get him to a Pokemon Center now! Where's the nearest one?" The girl pointed down a path, where a bike lay. Ash ran that way and said, "I need to borrow this, sorry! I'll return it later!" and raced down the path, Pikachu in the basket.
Soon it began raining, causing the Spearow to catch up, making him lose control, and he and Pikachu fall to the ground. He got out Pikachus Pokeball, and said, "Pikachu, I know you don't like it, but please, the only way to save you is to put you into the ball." He set it in front of Pikachu. "Don't come out until they're gone. It's the only way for me to protect you." Ash got up and faced the spearow. "Spearow! I won't let you hurt Pikachu! Come and get me!" As soon as he said this, the spearow charged, Pikachu ran up his shoulder with a strange new-found power, and blasted them away with a lighting-bolt charged Thunder Shock. Ash and Pikachu woke up and saw a large, rainbowy bird flying through a rainbow. Ash got up, picked up Pikachu, and started heading off to Viridian City.
