Chapter 1: Dream on Ketchum!

It was a beautiful Monday morning in Late March in the small town of Pallet, and 18-year-old Ash Ketchum was still in bed, sleeping his head off, wondering off in the middle of an epic dream

"Now stepping up to the plate, batting third for the Swellow Slammers, shortstop, number 10, Ash Ketchummmm!" The PA Announcer call as Ash walked slowly up to the plate.

Even though Ash loved Pokémon battling more than Baseball, he still loved baseball with a passion and has played for his High school team, the Swellow Slammers, for 3 years, and this year was about to be 4th year straight. Ash played shortstop, which was between 2nd and 3rd base and was considered the hardest position to play in the game of baseball. He was pretty good, but he did make a couple of errors at the time he was playing there. But he made up for all of the errors with his massive power at the plate. For the past 2 years he had lead his team in homeruns and hits, and was batting .500 (which means that he got a hit 5 times out of 10 when he was hitting.

Ash looked over to Professor Oak, or Coach Oak, as the players called him. It was the bottom of the 9th inning with a runner on second base with 2 outs, and the Swellows were losing to the Pidgeots 3-2 in the championship game. "Coach" Oak gave Ash a bunch of signs to confuse the other team, and Ash nodded confidently. The signs told Ash to swing away and hit the ball, so Ash was going to do what his coach had ordered. Coach Oak smiled and thought to himself "Man that boy has sure turned into a fine young man!" Professor Oak had been good family friends with the Ketchums ever since Ash was 3, as both were from the town of Pallet. Ash stepped into the batter's box and was ready to go.

"Let's go Ketchum, you got this, find a pitch you like and rip it!" Said Ash's best friend and catcher for the Swellows, Drew, as he stood on second base. Ash worked to get a full count of 3 balls and 2 strikes, as he had just fouled off a pitch right down the middle and was now a little upset at himself.

"Come on Ash!" Ash thought to himself. "It's now or never!". Ash looked over in the stands. He saw a girl he had never seen before but she looked so familiar and beautiful, like an angle had fallen from heaven! She had gorgeous blue hair that was tied up into a pony tail, and was wearing a Swellows jacket that only the players get for practice or school if they are cold. Ash was confused but didn't want to think that this was one of Drew's new girlfriends. She smiled at him and he smiled back at her. Ash got back to the game at hand, as the pitcher was in his wind up to release the pitch. Ash couldn't believe what he was seeing! It was a fast ball right down the middle of the plate and practically looked like the size of a beach ball! Ash was ready and about to swing when…

"BEEP BEEP!"

"UUUUUGGGGGHHHH! DAMNIT!" Ash groaned as he heard the sound of the big annoying loud alarm clock that was going off on his dresser next to his bed.

"Dream on Ketchum" Ash thought to himself. "This one will have to wait till tonight."

Ash got out of his bed and went straight to the bathroom that was, lucky for him, right next to his bedroom, because he was so tired he could barely even walk, as it was only 5 in the morning. He showered, brushed his teeth, and got dressed and was done with all of this by 5:25. But instead of wearing his lucky red hat with the black strip down the middle and the blue half pokeball, he decided to wear his Swellows hat with the big "S" and the Pokémon on it. He knew what today was. It was the first day of the final quarter of the year, and he couldn't wait, and not for school to end, but for all the exciting Pokémon battles and most importantly to him, baseball season, as he had made the Varsity A team for the 4th time in a row! As Ash made his way down stairs, he was greeted by his mother, Delia.

"Good morning honey!" The young mom said to her son as he met her at the table for breakfast before he had to take off for school. "Did you get a well-deserved night of sleep?"

"Yeah, I guess." Said the 18-year-old boy who was about to take a bit of toast. "Remember mom, I'm going to be home late because today is the first day of practice."

"Oh how could I forget!" Delia said smiling to her son. "I promise this year I won't miss a game!".

Ash rolled his eyes playfully. "Yeah right mom." He said as he remembered how many baseball games his own mother missed last year when they took 2nd place. Ash looked at the time and realized that if he didn't move quickly, he would be late for school.

"Bye mom!" Ash called out as he walked out of the door with a piece of bitten toast in his hand. "See you after practice!"

"Bye sweetheart! Have a good day at school, love you!" Ms. Ketchum yelled as she saw Ash walk away from the house, and just like that, Ash was on his way to the first day of the last quarter at school.
