T HE JOURNEY TO BE THE BEST

PROLOGUE

A Boy walking down the street on the way to the Pokémon professor's laboratory, as he passed by a house, he thought to himself 'I wonder if Ash is in, we have to go and collect our first Pokémon today.'

*Red raises his hand and knocks the door.*

*Door opens and reveals it is Delia who has opened the door*

Delia: "Oh hello sweetie, what brings you here this early today?"

Red: "Oh, Hey there Mrs. Ketchum. I was wondering if Ash was in, we got a call off of the Pokémon professor to meet him at his laboratory today."

Delia: "He is currently getting dressed right now. Would you like to come in to wait for him Red?"

*Red nods his head and smiles*

Red: "Yes please, of course if that would be okay with you."

Delia: "Yes dear now come on in before you get bored."

*Delia steps aside and waits for Red to walk in.*

*Red takes off his cap and begins to walk in the house, but stops.*

Red looks across the street to see another building located not too far from Ash's house the curtains still drawn before returning his focus to meeting Ash."

Red: "Hey Ash!"

*Ash is walking down the stairs and notices Red*

Ash: "Oh hey Red, you ready to get our first Pokémon?"

*Red looks up to see Ash*

Red: "Hey Ash, are you feeling ready for your first Pokémon?"

The look in Red's eyes showed great determination to figure out which Pokémon he will pick.

Ash: "Yeah. And I can't wait to battle you."

Ash has a gleam in his eyes showing his determination that rivals that of Red.

*Red raised his hand and nods his head in agreement*

Red: "You bet that we will have a battle! Hey we still need to go for Blue. I doubt he will even be up yet."

*Red began laughing*

Ash: Yeah, that's probably true. He is probably still asleep dreaming about being a Pokémon master. *Ash says last part in a Childish voice*

*Ash starts laughing with Red*

Red: "Come on let's go and ruin his day-dream again"

*Red turns around to Delia*

Red: "Thanks for letting me come in, I'll see you later."

Ash: "Well come on then Red. Bye Mom."

Ash opened the door and starting to run towards Blue's house whilst waving his Mom goodbye.

*Red began running alongside Ash*

Red: "So Ash, have you decided on any hopes for your first Pokémon, I know that I'm still torn between my hopes."

Red's heart began pounding faster at the thought of getting his first Pokémon.

Ash: "I'm hoping for a Charmander. I mean come on, Charmander evolves into Charizard, a Fire/Flying type Pokémon. Even though I would have a disadvantage coming up to the first gym, I could train and teach Charmander a move set that will help me beat the first gym leader and obviously improve as we go along the gym challenges."

*Red looks at Ash with amazement*

Red: "Wow Ash you really have done your research for that Pokémon haven't you?"

'I would have gone for a Charmander to be honest, mainly because it would be an interesting Pokémon to train' Red thought to himself

Ash: "Well thanks but let's get Green now otherwise he will be complaining that we left without him."

Red: "Yeah I guess you are right about that."

*Red looks at Ash before laughing.*

Red: "He won't be very happy for a while if we did leave him out"

Ash and Red slow down and approach Blue's house.

*Ash knocks Blue's door*

*Daisy opened the door*

Daisy: "Hello Red and Ash. How may I help you?"

Red: "Oh, Daisy? I was expecting Blue. Is there any chance that he is still in, or has he already set out to the Professor's lab?"

Daisy: "Yes he is still asleep. I'll go and get him."

Ash: "Okay Daisy."

When she turns around to go get Blue, Ash gives a small smack to her well shaped ass.

*Ash Smirks*

*Daisy blushes as she walked away from the door.*

Daisy: "Blue!"

A loud bang emitted from the upstairs, however in the meantime Daisy gave a slight smile to Ash.

Red: "Okay, well I am not going to say anything to that."

*Red put his head in his hands trying to hide the fact that he wanted to laugh*

Red: "So when you asking her" whispered Red into Ash's ear

Ash: "Asking her what?"

*Blue appears at the top of the stairs and begins to walk down*

Blue: "Ready to go?"

Ash: "Yeah but can I speak to daisy please?"

*Ash Blushes*

Blue: "Sure, I think."

*Blue gives a confusing look to Red, Ash and Daisy*

Red: "Would you like me to meet you at the professor's lab?"

Ash: "Yeah, you and Blue can wait for me there."

Red: "Okay, Come on Blue. I'll see you there."

*Red gave Ash a cheeky grin before setting off to the professor's lab with Blue*

Ash: "Well... hey."

*Ash Blushes deep*

*Daisy notices the redness on Ash's face*

Daisy: "What's wrong Ash? You look like you have something very serious on your mind."

Ash: "Well, yeah. Errmm, how do I say this? I've liked you for a very long time and I was wondering if you would go out with me?"

*Ash looks down waiting rejection*

*Daisy began looking down at the floor, her face blushing with a bright red tone to her cheeks*

Daisy: "Look Ash, I know how you feel but I don't know if Blue will approve of it. Personally I would accept you."

*Daisy looked down for a split second before looking up and kissing Ash on the cheek.*

Daisy: "You're sweet... I'll give you that."

Ash: "Well Blue will accept us because he will understand. I'm sure he wants his sister to be happy."

Daisy: "Well that is a very good point, I'm sure Blue would want me to be happy."

*Daisy looked at Ash in the eyes.*

Daisy: "I have a feeling that you can make me happy."

*Daisy takes Ash's hands and holds them placing one on her cheek and holding the other in her hand.*

*Ash leans in and closes his eyes and goes for the kiss*

*Daisy kissed Ash back, closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around Ash*

*Ash deepens the kiss and wraps his arms around her waist.*

*Daisy places her hand on Ash's neck as she kisses his cheek and neck before whispering in his ear.*

Daisy: "Wow, you're a great kisser but maybe we should head off to the lab, they should be wondering where we got to. We will continue this later, I promise."

*Daisy winked at Ash and pecked him on the lips again.*

*Ash Pouts*

Ash: "Damn, Okay."

*Grabs Daisy's hand and prepares to leave*

Her hand slipped and made a perfect fit in Ash's hand

Daisy: "Come on, I'll make it up to you. Don't worry."

*she leans over his shoulder kissing Ash's cheek*

Daisy: "It'll be worth it."

Ash and Daisy went out and locked the door. They then made their way over to Professor's Lab.

*Red turned around at the sound of a door opening behind him, he could see Ash and Daisy walking to the professor.*

Red: "Hey Ash, Hey Daisy!"

*Red gave them a little smug smile*

Red: "Everything okay?"

Ash: "Yep, everything is perfect."

*Ash Smiles brightly*

Blue: "Daisy why are you and Ash holding hands?"

*Daisy blushes lightly*

Daisy: "Look brother, it's plain and simple. I want to be with Ash. When you left..."

*Daisy looked down at the ground and smiled*

Daisy: "...He makes me happy, to the extent that I'm not isolated in the house all the time."

Blue: " I'm ok with that Daisy whatever makes you happy makes me happy"

Red: "Well good on you two."

*Red smiled and patted Ash on the shoulder*

*Daisy smiled and hugged Blue.*

Daisy: "Thank you Brother."

*She returns back to Ash's side wrapping her arms around Ash's arm*

A tall old figure appeared from his bookshelves to figure out what all the noise was about.

Prof. Oak: "Welcome to my laboratory everyone."

*Prof. Oak looked at the group that had gathered at the laboratory.*

Prof. Oak: "Ah, Blue. I'm glad you made it out of your bed today, I was beginning to worry that I was going to have one more Pokémon left over."

Ash: "Yeah, if he was late, then he probably would have gotten a Magikarp."

*Ash chuckles whilst holding Daisy from behind*

Prof. Oak: "So tell me... what do we have here, Ash and my grand-daughter?"

*Prof. Oak gives Daisy a stern look before breaking out to a smile*

Prof. Oak: "Promise me you'd take good care of her Ash."

Ash: "I will sir!"

*Ash holds Daisy protectively*

*Daisy bends her arm back and places her hand on Ash's cheek before teasing and joking.*

Daisy: "It will probably be the other way around."

*Red laughs*

Ash: "Haha very funny my little Eevee."

*Ash kisses Daily on the cheek*

Prof. Oak: "Ah young love."

*Prof. Oak turns around and switches a switch.*

Prof. Oak: "For the reason I summoned you here today, before you stands a pedestal containing several Pokéballs each containing a Pokémon. I will be gifting you with your very own Pokémon. Please choose wisely and like responsible adults."

Lights shine on the Pokéballs as the displays give out a visual aid of what the Pokémon looks like and some information about it.

Computer: "Pokémon 1 Riolu"

Computer: "Pokémon 2 Squirtle"

Computer: "Pokémon 3 Eevee"

Computer: "Pokémon 4 Charmander"

Blue: "I pick Squirtle"

*walks over and picks up Squirtle's Pokéballs and summons it*

Blue: "Squirtle come forth!"

*Red goes towards the stand and picks up the fourth ball.*

Red: "Charmander!"

Ash: "I pick Riolu"

*Walks over and picks up Riolu's Pokéball*

Ash: "May the Aura Guide you Riolu."

*Daisy slowly decides*

Daisy: "I want this cute little Eevee."

*She throws the Pokéball and Eevee appears in her arms.*

Ash: "Awww she is cute. Reminds me of someone I know."

*Embraces Daisy and leans his head on her shoulder.*

*Daisy blushes*

Daisy: "I feel like I know who you are going on about."

*she said playfully and slightly nudging at Ash.*

Daisy: "I have a feeling that you and your Riolu will get on with each other just fine, so everything is going great today."

*Daisy winked at Ash*

Ash: "Everything is going perfect today. I don't think I can be any happier."

*Red looked around at Ash and Daisy*

Red: "Come on then love-birds, and you Blue. We should head home and get ready for the journey."

Prof. Oak: "Take good care of your Pokémon, and they will take good care of you."

Ash, Blue, Red, and Daisy: "We will Professor."

*They all walked out of the laboratory to start their journey together.*
