Chapter 1: New Beginnings.

Hall Of Origins

The Hall of Origins located nearly a 1000 feet above the Spear Pillar in the Sinnoh region, is said to reside a legend who had supposedly created the whole universe singlehandedly. This Hall is touched neither by Space nor by Time. This sacred place cannot be accessed by mere Mortal beings. Only Immortal legends could visit this place. Only those seemed worthy by the Supreme God were allowed in.

This Hall was the meeting place of all the Legendary Creatures residing on the planets. The legendaries used to meet every time their leader and their father used to call me them.

Anyone who would be lucky enough to get within the gates of this sacred place would faint of awe while looking around the Hall. Paintings of thousand year old adorned the walls. The Hall was limitless, since it was not bounded by space.

Inside his Sacred hall a figure could be seen. It was a white equine resembling a centaur with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern had similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face was gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. It also had a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck was fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that was white like much of the body. It also had a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen.

The wheel also had four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of its underbelly resumes past its waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Its tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

It was Arceus, the legendary creature who according to legends, has shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms.

"So, the time comes for my Chosen One to begin his journey!"The figure said with a booming voice, which disturbed the silence of the magnificent hall. "It is now time for him to go on a great Journey and fulfill his Destiny."

Just then a pink, bipedal Pokémon with mammalian features arrived in the Hall. Its snout was short and wide, and it had triangular ears and large, blue eyes. It had short arms with three-fingered paws, large hind legs and feet with oval markings on the soles, and a long, thin tail ending in an ovoid tip.

The New Species pokemon glided through the air while flying here and there throughout the hall and then when it finally settled down, it flew towards the centaur like figure.

The feline pokemon went over the Alpha pokemon and bowed down before him, before speaking in a gentle child-like voice.

"Father, I have arranged everything for the Chosen One's journey."

"Thank you, Mew." The Legend replied, while nodding his head in appreciation of his so-called daughter's work.

"Father, I don't understand the need for the Chosen one." The Pink cat asked innocently.

Arceus looked faraway while replying. "Dark times lay ahead, Mew... and without the Chosen One's help, I'm afraid even I with all my power can stop the evil from uprising."

Mew thought for a while that how a Supreme Deity can be powerless over evil. When she could not think of an answer she asked Arceus, "So, who is the Chosen One?"

"He, Mew is the most novel and pure hearted person to reside on the planet. He has the potential to become the most powerful person the world has ever seen. His power at the prime could even match mine. He will be the most kind and brave human and his love for pokemon will be unmatched. He is... Ash."

Pallet Town - Prof. Oaks Lab

Evening

Pallet Town of the Kanto region was a small town lying right outside Viridian City, the Gateway to the Indigo plateau. Pallet Town had a small population among which lived the renowned Pokémon professor, Prof. Oak. The Professor was once the Champion of Kanto, even though his reign as a Champion was short lived since he gave up Pokémon battling and became a Pokémon professor.

Prof. Oak was sitting over his study table while looking over some research material one of his fellow professor has sent him. As he was reading a report of Pokemon evolution and how it changes them, he began thinking about the four beginner trainers who would receive their starter Pokemon from him. All four of them used to study under him and had lot of potential, but two of them were outstanding. One was his grandson, Gary Oak. Even though Gary had lot of potential and knowledge but his cocky attitude annoyed the Pokémon Professor. He was sure that Gary would be a fine trainer but he wasn't modest at all and had a pretty bad habit of bragging of his achievements.

On the other hand was, Ash Ketchum. Ash was the only son of Delia and he had the talent to be a great trainer. Ash was one of the finest kids he had ever seen and it meant a lot considering the amount of trainers Prof Oak gave their starter pokemon. Ash was one of the bravest and kind hearted person he had ever seen. He had trained since he was 8 years old to be a great pokemon trainer. He was good, no doubt but he had a fire inside him to be better and the best. He wanted to take the Pokemon League by storm the first time he took part in a League.

Ash was one of the most confident kid he has ever seen. He had never backed down on a challenge and always continued to improve himself by any means necessary.

The Professor's train of thoughts were broken when he heard his door bell ring. He came back to reality and rushed to his door thinking, 'Here's my Pizza delivery. I'm starving!'

Pallet Town - Ash's House

1 day Later - Morning

Beep beep beep...

Ash Ketchum woke up by the sound of his alarm ringing at 5:00 am. Ash had developed a habit of waking up early in the morning so that he could train himself. Ash had been working boy so that he may be physically fit when he went on his journey to be the World's best Pokémon master and to be the greatest of them all.

Many kids had their mind set on becoming a Pokemon Master but none of them were as determined as Ash. Ash had always been interested in the concept of pokemon training and battles but when he saw an exhibition match between the Champions of Kanto and Unova at the tender age of eight he had been more determined than ever. After seeing the Champion level pokemon battle, he had been left in awe and he became determined to someday be as strong as the Champions, if not stronger.

Ash had trained hard under Prof Oak so that he has every ounce of knowledge required for his journey. He has studied under the Professor since he was 8 years old so that he could take the league by storm.

Ash Ketchum, changed into his Track pants and a white t-shirts, and ran outside the house. He followed his usual routine and ran to the hilly areas surrounding Pallet Town, so that he can see the whole Pallet Town during the Sunrise.

Ash looked over the whole Town, while wondering that he would be leaving this quaint little town today and would go on an epic journey to be the Greatest Pokemon Master.

Ash broke out of his thoughts and started to exercise. Ash had started his physical training sessions since he was 8 years old, to prepare himself for his journey across Kanto.

He started with some Pushups and then performed the rest of the exercises. After his exercises he continued to practice some Martial arts he learned from the fighting types living in Prof Oak's laboratory.

Ash knew he had to learn to defend himself if he would go on a journey. So, after much thought he had approached the Fighting types living in the lab. It took him nearly 4 years to learn everything the pokemon taught him. He was trained heavily under them, so now he has well-toned muscles for a 15 year old.

After all his intense training, Ash sat down on the ground. He always trained himself until he was too tired and exhausted, since he always wanted to push his limits and become better.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground Ash started to meditate and relax. After sitting in a meditative position he started to sync his Aura with the surrounding area.

Three years ago, Ash found out that he has the power of the Aura and he could harness and use it. Ash had received a parcel from an unknown source on the day of his 10th birthday. The parcel contained a strange old book and a letter, informing him of his abilities and asking him to not inform his mother of his abilities and to share his secrets with only them whom he could trust.

After that day, Ash had trained hard to perfect his aura ability. According to the book, Aura was the life force containing in all living creatures, but only a chosen few could harness their aura and even fewer could use it to the extent that Ash could. Ash had trained hard and practiced everything according to the secret book that only aura users could read because of the special properties of its ink.

Now, after 3 years of practice Ash had mastered nearly all techniques given in the book, but he knew that there is a lot more for him to learn. So, he had trained every single day to perfect his Aura.

Ash's Aura practice session lasted 2 hours. After an exhausting morning, he started to jog towards his house.

These physical sessions had improved Ash's stamina to the limits and now due to his Aura his stamina had crossed all limits. Ash could run miles without breaking a sweat.

Due to his extended stamina, Ash intensified his routine exercises, so that he would keep on improving.

Ash reached his house in record 2 minutes. As, Ash entered the house he scanned for his mother's Aura and found that she was in the Kitchen. Ash went over to his mother and called her.

Ash's mother turned around to see a sweating Ash, then she ran towards him yelling, "Happy Birthday, Ash."

Ash tried to escape from the hug, but when he could not do so, Ash yelled out, "Mom, I can't breathe"

Delia broke out of the embrace, and saw Ash gasping for air. She spoke in an apologetic voice, "I'm sorry, Ash. I think I just got carried away."

"No problem mom." Ash replied since Ash had gotten used to his mom's tight hugs.

"Mom, I going to take a bath, before I make way to the Professor's lab.", Ash told his mom.

"But, Ash it's only 7 am. The Professor asked the newbie trainers to reach by 10 am."

"I know mom, but I thought it would be nice if I arrived there a little time before, so that I may get the first choice, to choose my starter pokemon"

His mother nodded in understanding before asking him, "So have you decided which pokemon you would choose?"

Ash paused for a minute to think, before replying, "I don't know mom, and all three of them are great but... I can't choose between them. So, I have decided to choose on the spot"

"Okay, now go to the bathroom. You are stinking." Ash's mother told Ash with a teasing time.

"Yes ma'am." Ash replied before rushing off to the bathroom.

Ash went under the shower and opened the tap for the hot water. He had always found hot water to be effective to, relive the soreness of his muscles after a long training session.

After a 5 minute shower, Ash stepped out of the shower and changed into a new traveling outfit his mother had brought for him.

The upper outfit was a medium blue jacket with gold trim and white collar and sleeves, worn open over a dark cyan or teal T-shirt. His lower outfit consists of jeans with light blue cuffs, black and white sneakers with red dots on both sides, and a brown belt, used to hang PokéBalls.

Ash also wore green finger-less gloves with light green borders, and of course, his hat. He also had a green backpack with a yellow square label and slings with black adjusters on it. The backpack has two pockets and two open compartments on each side. The main, bigger pocket is delimited by a black zip fastener, while the external pocket has an orange stripe on it.

Ash then went outside his room, and hugged his mother, before running towards the Professors lab.

Pallet Town – Prof Oak's Lab

Prof Oak had just finished his morning routine of feeding all pokemon in the ranch. It was an exhausting job since there were hundreds of pokemon in the ranch, behind the Lab. Prof Oak was the sponsor of many of the trainers who had received their starter pokemon from him. So, every pokemon they captured were automatically sent to the professor.

As soon as the Prof Oak entered lab, he noticed the lights were turned off. The Prof saw that the switch also were turned on. So, he figured out that there must be a problem with the Generator.

The Professor quickly went down to the generator room to solve the problem. As soon as he entered the room, he was shocked. . Literally.

A short, chubby rodent Pokémon was chewing on the wires. It was covered in yellow fur, and its ears were long and pointed with black tips. It had a small mouth, brown eyes, and two red circles on its cheeks. There were pouches inside its cheeks where it stores electricity. Its forearms was short, with five fingers on each paw, and its feet had three toes. It also had two brown stripes on its back, and its tail was in the shape of a lightning bolt with a patch of brown fur at the base.

The rodent release its electricity into the professor as soon as it saw him. The professor fell down on the ground due to the sheer power of the electricity.

When the professor felt better, he stood up to see an electric mouse pokemon still chewing on the wires. The professor thought while cautiously looking towards the chubby mouse, 'What the hell! How did the Pikachu entered the room?'

The pokemon professor approached the Pikachu, carefully and when he saw that the pokemon was not aware that he was near him, he threw a PokéBall towards it.

The electric mouse pokemon looked over in shock, as the PokéBall engulfed it in a bright red light and it was sucked into the red and white device, which the humans called a PokéBall.

The PokéBall fell on the ground and began to shake. The center of the PokéBall was red, indicating a capture on process. After the PokéBall had shaken three time, it gave a Ding sound indicating the capture was complete.

The professor picked up the PokéBall containing the newly captured pokemon. He was about to scan it for the Pokémon's information, but the doorbell rang indicating the arrival of someone.

The professor climbed the stairs out of the basement, and went towards the door to open it.

As soon as he opened the door his old face lit up with a bright smile. He hugged the person before greeting him, "Happy Birthday, Ash".

"Thanks Prof Oak" Ash replied.

The professor invited him before asking him, "Ash I asked every one of you to come at the lab at 10 am, so why did you come so early?"

Ash looked over towards the professor before replying, "I came here early so that I may get to observe all the starter pokemon before I could choose any of them."

"A Wise Choice, Ash" Prof Oak replied, accepting Ash's decision. "So do you know what the starter pokemon available at Kanto are?"

"Of course, Professor", Ash answered with a smile, "The Fire type - Charmander, The Grass type - Bulbasaur, and at the end The Water type - Squirtle"

The world renowned professor went towards a table and picked up the three PokéBalls placed on it. Then he walk toward Ash and showed them to him before saying," These PokéBalls contain the three starter Pokemon of the Kanto region."

Ash took the PokéBall with a Tear shaped sticker pasted on it and threw it in the air while shouting, "Come on out, Squirtle"

The red beam emitted from the PokéBall transformed into the Tiny Turtle Pokemon.

Squirtle was a small Pokémon that resembles a light blue turtle. It had two short legs, large brown eyes and a slightly hooked upper lip. Each of its hands and feet had three pointed digits. The end of its long tail curled inward and its body is encased by a tough shell. This shell was brown on the top, pale yellow on the bottom, and had a thick white ridge between the two halves.

Then Ash took another PokéBall with a leaf shaped sticker, and threw it while yelling," Bulbasaur, I choose you"

Out of the PokéBall came out the Seed Pokemon.

Bulbasaur was a small, quadruped Pokémon with green to bluish-green skin and darker green patches. It had red eyes with white pupils and sclera and pointed, ear-like structure on top of its head. Its snout was short and blunt, and it had a wide mouth. A pair of small, pointed teeth was visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is open. Each of its thick legs ended with three sharp claws. On its back was a green plant bulb.

At last Ash took the last PokéBall from the Professor's hand and called it out,"Charmander, Come on out"

As the PokéBall flew through the air, it released the Lizard pokemon kept inside it.

Charmander was a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with an orange body, though its underside and soles are cream-colored. It had two small fangs visible in its upper and lower jaws and blue eyes and its arms and legs are short with four fingers and three clawed toes. A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon's slender tail.

Ash looked over to the different typed pokemon in front of him. The Squirtle was bulling over the Charmander in a cocky manner, while the Charmander was terrified. Bulbasaur was lost in some kind of thought... or was sleeping, Ash could not tell.

Ash, sighed when he looked over them, he wanted his first Pokemon to be similar to him and share his love for pokemon battles and his fire to be the best. But none of the pokemon that he could see can, had the Aura matching his determination to get stronger.

Ash looked towards the Professor and shook his head, indicating he didn't want any of them as his starter pokemon. Prof Oak was shocked at Ash's decision to not choose either of them.

Ash indicated the professor to put the Pokemon inside their PokéBall, which Prof Oak obliged.

"Professor, I know you are confused why I declined to accept any of these pokemon as my starter Pokemon because I always wanted my started to be as determined as me, if not more to become strong and to be the best. These pokemon lacked the determination and enthusiasm I wanted to have in my first Pokemon. "Ash explained to the Professor after seeing the look on his face.

"Ash, my boy, I understand what you are trying to say. I have one more pokemon which you can choose, but I warn you I have just caught him today, and he is untrained so, he will be hard to handle and train."

When, Ash nodded his approval, Prof Oak gave him a PokéBall with an electric bolt on it.

'So, it's an electric type pokemon ' Ash thought and threw the PokéBall, and shouted," Pokemon, come on out."

A red beam of the red and white ball, transformed into a chubby yellow rodent pokemon named, Pikachu.

As Ash looked over to the rodent, he could feel all its determination to grow stronger and to be the best. It had the fire within him, which made the pokemon drive towards power. But with all the determination and strength, its Aura showed Ash, it also showed him the Pokémon's mistrust towards humans. As felt through its Aura, that it was abandoned by a human, and it made the electric rodent to begin its quest for power and hard work to become powerful.

Ash knew that it was the pokemon for him and with Pikachu as his partner he could achieve a lot. Ash knew that to gain Pikachu's trust he had to open his heart to him.

Ash nodded his approval to the Professor and asked the Professor if he could have Pikachu as his starter pokemon. The professor saw that Ash really wanted Pikachu as his partner, so he approved of his decision.

The Professor then said," Ash, I give you Pikachu as your starter pokemon and hope that you take good care of it" The professor then went to fetch Ash's new PokeDex and some PokéBalls.

The Professor then went over to Ash and said," Here is your new PokeDex and Pikachu's PokéBall and five more PokéBalls for any new pokemon you catch.

Ash took the PokéBalls and put it in the belt attached to his pants. Then Ash took the PokeDex to scan Pikachu. He then opened his PokeDex.

The PokeDex booted on, and then spoke in a mechanical voice, "Hello, My name is Dexter and I serve as a guide and an ID for Ash Ketchum, of Pallet Town. I'm given to him by renowned Pokemon Professor, Prof Samuel Oak. If, broken or lost, I cannot be replaced!"

Ash then pointed his PokeDex towards Pikachu to scan it.

Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon.

It can generate electric attacks from the electric pouches located in both of its cheeks.

Type: Electic

Ability:Static, Lighting rod.

Gender: Male.

Moves: Tail Whip, Growl, Tackle, Thunder wave, Thunder shock, Thunder bolt, Quick Attack, Double Team, Slam, Agility.

Egg Move: Wish, Charge, Thunder punch, locked move Volt Tackle.

Ash looked at Pikachu with amazement because of the sheer number of moves it had. It was clear that Pikachu was very well trained. Even Prof Oak was shocked by the number of moves the electric mouse had.

Ash then tried to approach his starter pokemon but Pikachu release a Thunder shock at him. Due to his fast reflexes ash was able to dodge the attack, by backfilling away from the attack, however the Professor wasn't as lucky as he was, so the attack hit him and he fell on the ground with a thud.

Ash just stood there and sweat dropped at his Pokémon's antics. Then he helped the Professor to his bed, so that he could rest after being on the receiving end of two shocks in a single day.

After helping the professor to his bed, Ash left his bedroom and went to the hall where Pikachu was running around. Ash went over and sat down near the yellow mouse.

When Ash saw that Pikachu's eyes were on him, he began his explanation, "Pikachu, I know that you want be stronger, to improve and be the best and I understand your dream since even I have the same dream. So we have this opportunity to work together and be the best we can be. I know you don't trust humans, but please give me a chance to show you that all humans are not bad."

Pikachu looked towards Ash with an expression that he was doubtful whether Ash was speaking the truth or not. Pikachu wanted to give Ash a chance, so it gave a slight nod.

After seeing Pikachu's nod, Ash placed his hand on Pikachu's head. As soon as his hand touched the rodent's head, the hand started to grow brightly and a blue aura surrounded them. Ash was using his Aura to forge a bond between him and Pikachu.

Ash tried to open Pikachu's heart and soul to him, so that he could see everything it had every experienced or felt. Even, Pikachu could see Ash's memories and could feel his determination to be the best. This Aura bond had enabled, the bond between them to strengthen and grow. They now felt that they had known each other since their birth.

As, the Aura bonding procedure finished, Ash exclaimed, "I always wanted to do that, since I read this technique in the 'Book of Aura'. It felt Awesome!"

Pikachu was amazed of what he saw during the Bonding procedure, he knew that only Ash was capable of helping him reach his potential. He was shocked to find out that Ash had the power of Aura. He thought that Aura Guardians were extinct, but he was seeing one right in front of his face and now he was his partner.

Pikachu broke out of his dazed state and called out, "Hey Ash!"

"Yes, Pikachu" Ash replied.

"If everything's finished here, let's get going!" Pikachu asked him.

"Yes, Pikachu let's go!" Ash replied.

As a result of his Aura bond with Pikachu, Ash was able to understand everything the yellow rodent said.

Pikachu climbed up on Ash's shoulder, since it hated PokéBalls. Ash knew this information due to their Aura bond, so he didn't even bother to try and put Pikachu in his PokéBall. With everything solved, Ash went outside the lab and went on towards his house. He wanted to give his mother a final goodbye hug, before he left on his journey, with Pikachu.

Pallet Town - Ash's House

Delia was sitting on a couch in her house, while thinking, 'How will my child manage on his own?'

Even though she was confident in Ash's abilities, she could not help but worry about him. She knew Ash could take care of himself, since he had trained under her so that he could be ready for any situation he would ever fall into.

Even though she was not a trainer, she knew a lot about Pokemon. So, she had trained Ash how to take care of himself and his pokemon. Ash had been trained to heal his Pokemon if necessary. But the one thing she was worried about was, his cooking skills. Even though Ash could do just about anything, he was a disaster in cooking. Even, Delia being the owner of a Five Stared restaurant could not teach her child to cook.

Delia shuddered when she remembered that one time, while trying to cook Ash had burned the whole Kitchen down, and she was only gone to the washroom for two minutes.

As, she was thinking about lost in her thoughts about her son's horrible cooking skills, the doorbell rang.

Delia stood up, and went to open the door but when she opened it, she found that nobody was there. She looked towards the ground and saw a package with Ash's name on it. She considered about opening it, but did not do so because it wouldn't be nice to open a gift in Ash's name.

As she brought the package and put it on a table, intending to give it to Ash went he gets home, the doorbell rang once again.

As soon as she opened the door, she squealed happily. Ash was standing right outside, with a Pikachu on his left shoulder.

She picked up the rodent and hugged it tightly, while shouting, "It's so cute!"

Pikachu struggled to get free from the dead grip, but it couldn't do so. Pikachu was about to take help from his secret weapon, thunder shock when he was released and Delia ran over to hug the rodent's trainer.

When Delia released Ash, he was struggling for air. Delia then invited them inside and pointed Ash towards the package. Ash, got an idea from whom the package was, so he quickly went to his room with Pikachu, to open his gift and left his mother dazed.

After reaching the room, Ash locked the door. He quickly cleared the bed and sat on it, while beginning to rip off the wrapping on the package. He found an egg in an incubator. The egg was blue, while it had black markings on it. It was glowing with a faint blue aura. Ash put the incubator aside and look into the package once again. The package contained a letter too. Ash took out the letter and began reading.

Dear Ash,

I hope that you had trained your Aura from the book I sent you three years ago. Since it is your birthday and you are going to start your journey today, I have sent a present to you. It's an egg of a pokemon that is not native to Kanto, and the pokemon which will hatch will help you throughout your journey.

Connect your Aura with the egg, to hatch it. I hope you like my gift.

From,

A Friend

After reading the letter, Ash was feeling very lucky. Very few people ever receive an egg on the first day of their journey, let alone an egg containing a pokemon not native to their region.

Ash looked at the egg and then took it outside the incubator. Then he poured some Aura into his hand, before touching the egg. As soon as he touched the egg, it started to glow with a blinding white light and it transformed into the emanation pokemon, Riolu.

Riolu was a small, blue, canine Pokémon. It had black legs and torso, a blue tail, and a yellow collar. It had rounded bumps on the backs of its forepaws. It had a black "mask" and red eyes. It was standing on its toes instead of its entire foot.

The pokemon was looking around curiously and when it saw Ash, it yelled, "Papa!"

Since Ash was able to understand Riolu, he concluded that when he poured his Aura into the egg, it formed an Aura Bond between him and his now surrogate son, Riolu.

Ash took out Dexter to scan Riolu.

Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon.

When sad or scared, Riolu's aura becomes stronger as a way of signaling its allies.

Type: Fighting

Ability:Steadfast, Inner focus, Prankster.

Gender:Male.

Moves:Quick attack, Foresight, Endure, Counter.

Egg Move:Cross Chop, Detect, Agility, Low Kick, Iron Defense, Crunch, locked move Sky Uppercut, locked move High Jump Kick, locked move Blaze Kick.

Ash's mind blanked out when it heard the number of moves Riolu knew even though it only hatched a minute ago and on top of all it had nearly all the egg moves it can know.

Ash rechecked his PokeDex to know whether he heard correct that Riolu had three abilities. The combination of Steadfast and Inner Focus abilities was even more awesome, since Riolu cannot flinch while, its Speed will increase every time the opponent tries to flinch it.

Ash was sure that when Riolu evolves to Lucario it would be one of his most powerful pokemon. Ash could not wait to start his journey and train his pokemon. He had his whole routine set up to help his pokemon reach their potential.

Ash did not understand how both of his pokemon had all their abilities and had a large pool of moves. He knew it wasn't a coincidence, so he mentally thanked whoever was responsible for it.

After checking his PokeDex, Ash approached Riolu who was busy talking to Pikachu.

Ash took out a PokéBall and asked, "So, Riolu do you want to get stronger and battle alongside me?"

"Yes, Father", Riolu replied.

"Okay then, experiment the button on the middle of this ball to join my family", Ash informed Riolu.

Riolu touched the middle of the PokéBall and a red beam sucked it inside. Ash stared as the ball made a 'Ding' sound, without even shaking once, indicating Riolu accepted his capture without any hesitation.

Ash picked up the PokéBalls and then shouted with his voice full of enthusiasm, "Yes! I caught a Riolu." While Pikachu gave of delighted shout of 'Pi, Pikachu' in the background, while giving a V sign with his fingers.

"ASH KETCHUM… THERE WILL BE NO SHOUTING IN MY HOUSE", Delia shouted from her kitchen.

"Yes Mom" Ash replied as he sweat dropped.
