Chapter One
A New Beginning
17 year old Ash Ketchum stood at the top of a hill overlooking the entrance to route 1. He took a deep breath in, held it for a few seconds and let it out once more.
"I've been through so many adventures," he said to his best friend. "But this place always looks the same as it always has."
"'Pika pikachu pikapi' (Yeah it seems to never change, Ash)" agreed the yellow and brown pokémon that was sitting on his shoulder.
Ash sighed. He'd been home for some months now, spending time with his mom, and all his pokémon. "I think we should head to professor Oak's lab," he said.
"'Pika!'" Pikachu agreed. "'Pichupika' (let's go)"
Arriving at the lab of the world famous Pokémon professor, Ash was greeted by long-time friend Tracy Sketchit.
"Hey Ash. Hey Pikachu," he said.
"'Pikachu!'"
'"Smeargle gle"' One day a wild Smeargle had walked into professor Oak's Lab. It was quite hungry looking, so the professor asked Tracy to feed it. As it ate Tracy sketched it (no surprise there). When Smeargle saw what he was doing the two became friends due to a common interest and they still are.
Ash walked to the back of the lab, passing Professor Oak, busy doing readings on a pokémon in a machine. It was a small purple pokémon with large buck teeth, a rattata.
"Hi professor Oak!"
"Hi Ash, my boy. Good to see you," the professor replied before returning to his work.
Ash headed out the back where he was immediately tacked by a midsized green quadruped. "'Bayleef Bay!"'
'"Hi Bayleef!"' Ash said.
He began to play around with Bayleef like he usually did. When they were both tired out Ash sat down and Bayleef went to go graze.
'Look at all my pokémon. I barely have the time to play with them all.' He thought.
Ash had a weird feeling in his stomach. It was similar to a knot of anticipation and impatience, mixed with a bit of boredom. He knew what it was. He needed to go on another adventure. And he needed to do it now. He turned to his partner.
"It's time"
'"Pika."'
Ok so a bit short I know but bear with me here It'll get better from here. I hope… Anyways I just needed to introduce Ash once again. Yes he's 17 and that's because that's around how old he should be at the end of series before X and Y. Speaking of which, Kalos does exist in this fic but he's not going there and you'll see why later. So I'll see you next time. If I get more readers I'll start implementing votes for Ash's team, as he'll substitute them out over the course of this fanfic.
