Pokemon Lemon Adventures
CHAPTER 1: Ash's Beginnings
Ash Ketchum; a Pokemon trainer that has travelled the Pokemon world and journeyed the vast areas that has stood in his way. He has had many companions along the way. Brock, Misty, May, Dawn, Iris, Serena, and Lillie are some that come to mind. Along with his pal Pikachu, Ash has caught and obtained many different species of Pokemon. Ash's goal was to become a Pokemon master, which required to conquer a Pokemon League Challenge. Ash has qualified for the Pokemon League Challenge in each of the regions he has visited, but has yet to reach his goal of becoming a Pokemon master.
Wait one second. How is this story a lemon if we're talking about who the heck Ash Ketchum is? I'll get to that in one moment, so be patient. As I was saying, our hero, Ash, has yet to complete his life-long goal of becoming a Pokemon master. But, there is another goal that Ash has in mind that he hasn't reached either. That goal is finding a loving companion.
As the sun started to rise in Pallet Town, the Pidgey chirped along in search for food. Ash ignored these sounds and pulled his blanket over his head. His mother, Delia Ketchum, entered the room and approached Ash's bed.
"Ash, it's time to wake up, we have a big day ahead of us." said Delia as she pushed on Ash's shoulder. Ash groaned and ignored her. "Fine then, I guess you won't be able to see your friends today. It's your eighteenth birthday and all of your friends came to visit, but you didn't hear this from me." The door closed and Ash quickly jumped out of bed.
"Pikachu!" Ash yelled. "We have to get dressed and start our day!" Pikachu opened his eyes and jumped off of the bed. After Ash dressed himself, he ran downstairs to find a note on the table.
It read: "Hello Ash! I am need of experimenting on Pikachu today, so please come by my lab later today so I can start examining Pikachu. Thank you, and I will see you later." - Professor Oak.
Ash ran out the door with Pikachu and they made their way towards Oak's lab. As they reached the entrance, Ash said, "Pikachu, enter quietly; I think they're going to surprise us.". Pikachu nodded as Ash turned the doorknob. It was dark inside, but Ash could see mysterious figures around the room. Pop! "Surprise!" everyone yelled. As the lights came on, Ash could see all of his past companions standing and celebrating.
"Oh wow! Thank you everyone!" Ash yelled.
"Hey Ash!" May said. "Happy Birthday!"
"Ash!" Misty yelled. "How does it feel to be eighteen?"
"Well, um, I'm not sure. It hasn't sunk in yet."
"Well, we know that you're mature anyways." Serena said.
"Nah, he's such a kid." Iris said.
Ash walked inside and hugged his friends as they greeted him. Everyone sat at a long table that had tons of food on it. Ash sat in between Dawn and Lillie, who gave him big smiles as he looked at them.
"Guys, thank you so much for this. I really appreciate this a lot." says Ash in a thankful tone.
"It's our pleasure!" says Lillie in a cheerful voice. Ash returned this with a smile.
"The lights dimmed down and Delia entered the room with a birthday cake. Everyone began to sing the birthday song. Ash looked down at the cake and as the song finished, Delia said, "Ash, make a wish!". Ash looked into the flames of the candles. He thought about what he wanted his wish to be, which was to find a loving companion. But Ash was disappointed and he sobbed.
"What's wrong Ash?" Dawn asked.
"Nothing." Ash said. "I just can't make a wish because it's I know the one I want is stupid." Ash got up and ran out of the room. Delia followed him.
Ash ran into the bathroom, sobbing. Delia knocked on the door and asked if he was okay. Ash didn't respond. She opened up the door and knelt down to match eye level. She hugged him and asked, "You want a companion, don't you?". Ash looked up with a surprised look on his face. He nodded. "Well, why don't you experiment with your female companions? You might find something different in each of them that you might like.". Ash nodded, stood up, and made his way downstairs.
