XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ash honey! Are you OK." a middle aged women with brown hair tied back into a pony tail yelled as she saw her son crying.
A 7 year old boy with raven hair and Z lines on his cheeks stood by the doorway, he was crying a little as he walked in, which worried his mother, Delia Ketchum.
"I'm *sniff* okay *sniff* mom." Said the boy.
"Then why are you crying Ash?! Did people say things about you? Are you hurt?!" asked the mother clearly worried for her son
"No, it was just Gary being a bully again." Replied Ash.
"Oh my, he really is changing, and not for the better, I thought you 2 were friends?"
"Yeah, we were friends, but he just started calling me names and bullying me when we got older, just because he is Professor Oak's son doesn't mean he's smarter or better than me!" said Ash becoming more upset now.
Delia looked at her son for a while, wiping away any tears that fell from his eyes before giving him a motherly hug.
"Oh… it will be okay Ash, tell you what, how about I take you to the Professor so you can play with the Pokémon in the ranch." Said the mother smiling at her son now
"Really, I can!?" the offer instantly made the raven haired child happy.
"Of course! Come on now let's go right now!" the mother said taking off her apron and putting it of the kitchen counter.
"Yay! Come on mom let's go!" said Ash running off.
Delia smiled at her child for a moment and started to chase after him.
"Wait for me son, if you run too fast you'll trip!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Oaks ranch…
Ash immediately stormed off to the ranch after entering the professor's lab, to which the old man did not complain about. In the ranch held quite the array of Pokémon, Pidgeys, Rattatas, Caterpies, etc.
"Oh my… I'm sorry if we are bothering you Professor, but my Ash was quite upset with Gary and I wanted to cheer him up." Said Delia to the old man next to her.
"It's quite alright Delia, I'm not bothered by this at all, rather I am happy Ash is enjoying himself right now. I need to teach Gary some humility sometime, otherwise the two of them may never be friends again." Said Oak happy for the boy and then sighed because of how troublesome his grandson was.
Delia became quite troubled at the thought of her son and the professors grandson losing their friendship, but that thought went away when she giggled a bit as she watch her son play, hug, and run with the all the Pokémon in the ranch.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ash was chasing a flock of Pidgey that were flying in the sky, laughing quite a bit. However, he stopped when he noticed a stray Rattata enter the forest.
"Huh!? W-wait Rattata! You shouldn't be running into the forest!" yelled Ash as he dashed towards the rat Pokémon.
Both adults looked to see a glimpse of Ash run into the forest before he became completely out of sight.
"Huh?! Ash wait, you shouldn't be going into the forest!" Delia cried out!
He looked around the forest calling out the Pokémon's name, and after a couple of attempts he heard a squeak deeper inside the forest. Venturing further in, he sees the purple rat in an opening chewing on some berries. '
"Rattata…!" Ash moaned/yelled.
He picked up the Rattata after it finished with the berry's it was eating.
"You shouldn't be running off like that! You could've gotten lost!" Ash scolded the Pokémon.
What he got was another squeak from Rattata as it pouted.
"Hah… let's get back to the ranch, okay?"
He proceeded to return to the ranch with Rattata in his hands, but he didn't get to walk too far as he was tackled into a tree, dropping Rattata as well.
"AH!" He screamed as he hit the tree.
Shaking his head a bit, he looked around to find the Rattata he dropped and the one who talked him. But he quickly grew afraid, for he saw three Beedrills swarming over the Rat.
"H-Hey! Leave it alone!" Ash yelled trying to get the bees attention.
They ignored him and continued to their pounce on the poor Pokémon, while it was screaming out for help. They were angry because it ate the berries that they collected.
Unknown to them all small figure watched the seen inside one of the bushes, getting angrier as it watched the Beedrills gang up on both Rattata and even more angry when the boy just stood there doing nothing.
Though after finally seeing enough, Ash ran over to it and covered it with his body. Surprising both the rat Pokémon and the shadowy figure. Yet, the three attackers still continued their attack, still ignoring the boy because of blind rage.
But before they could get close enough, the small figure jumped out of the bushes,
"Fro!" It screamed out, taking the stabs of the three bees.
Ash's eyes were tightly closed, waiting for the impact, but the stings never came. He opened his eyes to see a new Pokémon, one he never saw before.
The Pokémon was a blue frog, with white hands and some white foam like substance surrounding its neck, it had yellow eyes that seemed to be squinting, and a dark blue line in between the eyes the ended at 2 white balls that were on it's nose.
"Ah!" Ash yelped out, concerned for the new Pokémon, which was stung by the Beedrills.
The new arrival, landed on the ground after taking the stings, at was still standing, but panting quite a bit.
"…*Kie*…*Kie*…*Kie*… Fro!" finishing its deep breathes, The Pokémon turned around to send a glare towards the other three.
"A-Are you… O-OK?" asked Ash concerned for the unknown Pokémon.
The new arrival turned around, its glare softening when it looked at the boy. It gave Ash a nod to confirm it was alright. The frog Pokémon then turned around to return the glare again, alerting the 3 bees.
Preparing to attack, the blue frog charged up a ball of water in its hand and jumped up to launch it at his opponents.
It hit one of them, sending it back to a tree, and caused the other 2 to charge at it. But after getting close enough, their opponent launched a flurry of bubbles their way. Blinded for a moment they got hit by another 2 Water pulse attacks.
Ash sat back holding onto Rattata, staring in awe at the battle the was happening in front of him, this Pokémon that he never seen before, that saved him and the rat Pokémon, was strong enough to fend off three of these powerful bug types.
'Wow, that Pokémon i-is really strong, a-and really cool too!' thought Ash gazing at the seen in front of him.
Their battle continued for a bit, the blue frog was able to get in a great amount of damage to the 3 with attacks like Pound, Bubble and most likely its most powerful attack, Water pulse. And it was able to avoid many of their own attacks, for it was very fast, but it still was hit by a couple of attacks such as Pin missile or some Poison stings
Soon all three of the attackers retreated, leaving the rest of them alone now. However, they did succeed in poisoning the frog Pokémon.
"*Fro… *…*Kie…* Fro… Fro~." it stumbled a bit before collapsing.
"Oh no!" Ash rushed over to the blue frog, picking it up and rushing back to the ranch with both Pokémon in his hand.
"Hang in their… whoever you are, I promise you'll be alright!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ash has been gone a while now, I'm getting worried." Said Delia.
"The forest isn't too deep Delia, I'm sure he'll be back soo-." The professor didn't get to finish though, as he heard a scream from Ash.
"Mon! Prof. Oak! I need your help!" yelled Ash.
Both of them wondered why he was asking for their help, but soon saw the frog Pokémon in his hands.
"Oh my! You found him Ash, but what happened to it!" asked the professor worried for the poisoned Pokémon and Ash.
"I-I was looking for Rattata a-and I found it, but w-we were attacked by a few B-Beedrills." Replied Ash.
"You were attacked?! Are you all Ok?! Did any of you get hurt at all?!" Yelled Delia.
"N-no, I'm not hurt, b-but this Pokémon was stung by them and, it's poisoned!"
"Ash, hurry and bring it in the lab! I'll Contact Nurse Joy, in the meantime, Delia see to Froakie as much as you can!" yelled Oak as he rushed towards the phone.
'Froakie? Is that its name? Ugh! Now is not the time Ash, you gotta help out!'
"Ash honey, bring it in and fast!"
Both if them stormed into the Lab, and were getting ready to do their best to help the Pokémon, proclaimed Froakie.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A couple of hours later…
Delia, Prof. Oak, and Ash had sat down in front of the room where Froakie was being treated. While they were all silent, the tension was present in the room. But it quickly went away when nurse joy came out of the room the frog Pokémon was in.
"Nurse Joy!" yelled Ash.
"Is Froakie OK!?"
"Froakie is just fine young man, it didn't suffer any serious injuries, it was mostly the poison that was hurting Froakie." Replied the nurse.
*Deep breath* *Release*
"What a relief, I was getting really worried for it." Said Delia.
"It feels like I lost a couple of years in my life." Said Oak exhausted.
"Can we go see it?" asked Ash.
"Of course, just try not to wake it up though, it's resting." Asked the nurse
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Inside the room…
The 3 of them watched Froakie as it was resting on the bed, Ash seemed quite happy knowing that Froakie was alright after it saved him. The silence in the room was broken when Ash asked the professor a question.
"Professor?" asked Ash
"Yes my boy?" he replied.
"What kind of Pokémon is… Froakie, I don't think it's from Kanto is it?"
"Oh well actually, Froakie is from a region not too far from Kanto, the Kalos region."
"Kalos?"
"Yes, their Froakie is a starter for new trainers."
Hearing that got Ash excited, until a thought came up.
"Wait, if Froakie is from there and it's a starter Pokémon, how come it's in Kanto?" asked Ash
"Well, you see…" Oak began.
"This Froakie is, special."
"What do you mean?" asked Delia, finally speaking.
"For one, Froakie was different from its other species, the other Froakie that it grew up with were more playful and more care free, but this one in particular was more serious, and trained to become much stronger than how it was before. But because of this, it never involved itself with the other Froakie, and that was a problem for them, resolving in it fighting them eventually."
"It was bullied by them?!" Ash got serious after hearing that.
"That wasn't all, Froakie has a habit of running away from the trainer it was chosen by, simply because it didn't like them." He replied.
"Why didn't it like them?"
"That's what I and my friend, Prof. Sycamore, don't know."
"Prof. Sycamore?" asked Delia
"He is the Pokémon professor from Kalos."
"They have a Professor in Kalos?"
"Each region around the world has their own professor that gives trainers their first Pokémon." Replied Oak.
"Seriously! Are they as awesome as yo-!" but he was interrupted by a groan.
All three of them turned around to see Froakie, almost waking up, but after a few seconds went back to sleep.
"Oops." Ash said sheepishly.
"Anyway, back on topic, Prof. Sycamore sent Froakie here to me to see if I had a better chance of finding Froakie a trainer and to stop the conflict between it and the other Froakie. But as you can see, I have not been successful in finding Froakie a trainer yet." Oak explained.
"How long have these events been happening?" Delia asked.
"About a year and a half now."
Ash and his mother become shocked for a moment when they heard that, a Pokémon that was meant to be handed out for new trainers to start their journey, has been neglecting the trainers that chose him, for half a year! On top of that, because it was different from its clan, Froakie was bullied and isolated from them. The shocked faces turned solemn as they looked at Froakie.
'It's been bullied, and it has been running away for that long?' thought Ash.
Ash walked towards the bed and took a seat next to the bubble frog Pokémon.
"Wow, I know you must have had the professor there and some of the other starter Pokémon Froakie, but, you must have felt really lonely, huh?" said Ash.
His words woke up Froakie a little, as it opened one eye to look at the raven haired boy.
"No one likes to be alone, especially when their being bullied at the same time." His voice grew sad and had a sense of understanding in it.
"But don't worry!" he placed his hand on the Pokémon's head.
"Even if you don't have a friend now, when you get out of bed, I'll be your friend! We can play with each other at my house, you can eat there with me and mom, and then when I'm old enough, we can travel the world to become the best Pokémon trainer, ever!" Ash said enthusiastically.
Froakie's eye widen slightly when it heard this, even though it didn't know this boy, he instantly wanted to become friends with it just by hearing what it's been through, he wanted to give him a home, a place to eat, and then travel across the globe, something he Froakie wanted to do with the right trainer. And although it didn't really care if it was hurt by the other Froakie in the Kalos Prof. Lab, Ash cared a great deal that it was.
His mother and Prof were looking at the scene in front of them with soft smiles, his mother feeling proud of her Ash, to see how kind he was towards the Pokémon, and the professor was happy for the both of them, seeing them getting along so well, when other trainers were rejected by Froakie.
And after seeing Ash smile himself, after hearing his words, Froakie after quite some time of never being happy, smiled.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A day later…
"Come on mom! I wanna go see Froakie again!"
A day had passed since Ash and Delia saw the Kanto professor, and the bubble frog Pokémon, Froakie still needed a bit of rest until it was back to perfect health, so the Ketchum's decided to leave right after Ash finished speaking to it.
"I'm coming honey! I just needed to put on my shoes, please wait~!" said her mother chasing her son.
"I can't wait mom, Froakie may have just woken up! And I want to be friends with it right away! Come on!"
"I know, I know! You don't need to tell me twice!"
They continued their way towards the Lab again to see their friends, Ash stopped and turned around to see his mother chasing him occasionally, due to the fact that getting to see his friend again gave him the energy he had.
They were a couple of meters away from the lab by now, but after about the seventh time needing to stop and turn around to see his mother chasing him, something hit him behind his head.
"Woah!" he cried out in surprise.
Turning around again to look at the lab, moving closer, he saw the professor and the bubble frog Pokémon standing there. Both of them were waving at him with smiles on their face
"Ash! Me and Froakie have been waiting for you!" said Oak.
"Froakie!" came from the frog Pokémon next to the professor, making Ash light up and rush forward towards them.
Delia who just caught up to where Ash stood last, saw her son running towards the two.
'Heh… I honestly wonder where Ash gets that energy sometimes.' Thought Delia.
Ash immediately stopped in front of the professor and Froakie.
"Froakie! How ya doing little buddy!"
A thumbs up and a "Fro!" was his reply. Looking behind the frog, he saw a pile of strange white spheres.
"Professor, what are those behind Froakie?" asked the boy.
"Their called frubbles my boy, they are what grow on Froakie's neck." He replied
"Cool! What are they made of?"
"Well unfortunately, I haven't figured that out yet, what I do know though, is that they are quite sticky but at the same time, very soft."
"Wow! Hey! What are they for Froakie!" he asked the bubble frog Pokémon now.
His answer was a frubble ball to the face, and Froakie immediately ran away laughing it off. Ash shook off whatever remained of the frubbles on his face and watched Froakie run away from him.
"It looks like little Froakie wants to have a snowball fight, Ashy." His mother giggled from behind him.
"Only the snowballs are made of its, frubbles?" she asked the professor and got a nod.
"Oh. Okay Froakie you asked for it!" he grinned and carried his supply of frubble balls, then chased after it.
The two of them arrived at the ranch, where Froakie was hiding behind a rock with its supply of ammo, as it wanted for the raven haired boy. Ash showed up in no time and was looking around to see where it was.
"Fro! Fro!" Froakie appeared poked out its entire body and threw a one frubble, but Ash reacted in time to dodge it.
"Ha! You missed Froakie!" Ash yelled and threw one of his own frubbles, which hit Froakies face this time.
Ash was laughing at it for a while as it was shaking off the frubbles, and after it finished, it had to dodge another incoming frubble ball which shoot right pass its face. The two of them began their heated snow, or more accurately, a frubble fight, with frubbles flying all over the place, sticking to the rocks, the trees, and the grass, while the two of them were laughing all the way.
In the middle of it, the two adults were watching the bullets being fired from each field, looking back and forth between the battlers.
"Ehahahahaha…. I am so glad Froakie was able to make its first friend after so long, epically after it was isolated from its other Froakie members." Said Oak.
"Hmhmhmhmhm… yes, say professor," Delia began.
"Yes?" he asked
"Ash said that Froakie could live with us, he has my permission, but do we have yours?" she asked
"… Of course you do." The professor smiled at the thought of Froakie finally having friends, a family, that it was happy with.
Both children run out of ammo, resulting in their little war ending. Both were on their backs next to each other, still laughing.
"Man that was a lot of fun Froakie!" said Ash.
"Froakie!" it agreed with him, very much at that.
Because of the rigorous training it put itself through, it never really knew how to enjoy playing games with others, but now it realized how much fun it really was!
Ash sat up and looked at Froakie,
"Well Froakie, what do you want to play next!" he asked
Froakie thought for a moment thinking of what it should suggest, a "Fro!" came out as it snapped its fingers, and it tugged Ash's sleeve to get his attention.
"Did you think of something, buddy?"
He got a nod from it, before he was tapped on the shoulder, and it ran. It took Ash a moment before he realized what Froakie did.
"Hey! Okay Froakie, get ready! Because I'm gonna tag you!" Ash yelled out before chasing the frog again.
'Huuuu, haaaa. I wish you could be here to see this honey, you would be so proud and so happy, but I know you already are.' Thought Delia slightly sad, but happy nonetheless.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Mount silver…
A man, wearing red, was standing at the very top of this mountain, looking at the sun, on his shoulder a Pikachu hanging from it, and to his left, a big Charizard. His face was hidden by a looming shadow because of his hat, but under the shadow, he was smirking.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
5 years later, a day before Ash's birthday…
5 years have passed since Ash, and Froakie bonded, as promised, Froakie has been living in the Ketchum residence up until today. There him and Ash, would eat together, play together, sleep together. They would even train together with some of the Pokémon in the professor's lab, who were fighters, to improve Froakies fighting capabilities.
But it wasn't just Froakie who was improving, Ash was determined to become the world's best Pokémon trainer, and to do that, he needed to learn as much about Pokémon as he could. So every day, his mother and Oak would teach him certain subjects based on Pokémon, nutrition, health, certain Pokémon species, type advantages and disadvantages, and evolution, are just to name a few.
Other than training with each other, when Ash was going to school, he would keep Froakie in his bag to sneak it in. In school, Ash became more focused and more determined to learn thanks to Froakie, this resulted in more teasing from Gary and others because they felt Ash would become some kind of nerd, but he paid no mind to those insults at all as he had reason to learn so much. At lunch and recess, he would share his lunch with Froakie when others weren't looking, and at recess, he would move to an area where other kids never really played in, so that he and Froakie could play games with each other.
Eventually, secret went out, and some of the kids in school saw Ash and Froakie play in the ranch, where they also saw the both of them train with other Pokémon, even though Ash asked him to keep it a secret from Gary, the rest of the school still learned of it, while Gary still remained unaware, for he never intended to listen to a conversation that involved 'Ashy-boy'.
So Ash had no reason to worry about Gary finding out about Froakie if he had no intentions of listening to others speak of it.
All of this continued for a total of 5 years, and right now, it was only one day until it happened. One more day, until Ash started his journey through the Kanto region.
Right now Ash and Froakie were watching TV in his room, on screen a trainers Gengar was up against another trainers Nidorino, Gengar eventually beat its opponent by using Hypnosis, making it fall asleep.
The Nidorino's trainer returned it to its poke ball, and then threw out a new one. Out of it came an Onix, which started a stare down with the opponent.
"Man, it's such a close battle!" said a now older Ash.
"Fro!" came out from Froakie.
"Do you think that we might be up their buddy, an awesome Pokémon trainer and his awesome Pokémon?" he asked.
For his reply, Froakie lightly punched his shoulder, making him look at his partner. Froakie gave him a thumbs up and a grin of confidence, which got Ash to do the same.
Both of them returned their attention back to the battle, but before it got to finish, they heard their mothers call.
"Boys! It's time for bed! Tomorrow is a big day for the both of you!" she yelled.
"She's right Froakie, tomorrows my birthday, and they I become a trainer and you become my partner, officially!" he balled up his fist.
"Fro, Froakie!" it replied.
"Well then, let's get some rest."
They both went into the bathroom, brush their teeth, and Ash changed into his pajamas.
"Oh yeah, remind me to get up early, its better if we arrive their before anyone else." He asked his, soon to be, starter.
"Froakie." It nodded.
"Goodnight mom!"
"Froakie Fro!"
"Goodnight you two! Sweet dreams!" she replied.
Ash entered the room and laid down his back on his bed, with Froakie doing the same, he pulls the cover over them both and shuts off his lamp.
"Goodnight, partner."
"Fro Fro, Kie."
Both of them closed their eyes, and almost instantly fell asleep, but, there was a reason for that.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dream world…
Ash and Froakie had woken up, but now not in their bedroom, but in a desert like area, devoid of people from what they could see.
"W-what the!? Where are we?!" he yelled out confused.
"F-Fro Froa Kie!?"
The both of them had stood there, looking around to see any signs of people or Pokémon around. Things didn't make sense for them, how did they end up in a place like this in the first place? What was this place even? Was there even a soul in this dead place at all? That final question was answered when an earthquake, growing louder and stronger by the second, had begun.
"Woah! What's going on?!" he screamed as his and Froakie body began to shake around.
"Fro-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!"
Off in the distance, men riding on various Pokémon were charging towards the other side with weapons and armor at hand. There were also a bunch more things that had entered the battle field as well, many flying Pokémon, huge catapults, and even some younger looking people were present. Every person on this battle field had clothing, weapons, and armor that resembled that of a ninja's.
"Seriously, what the hell is happening, and why do these people look like they're ready to kill each other?!"
With that last sentence, WAR broke out and weapons, and Pokémon attacks were fired. They people and Pokémon began fighting, almost not noticing the boy in between them.
"Ah!" he screamed as he picked up Froakie and ran, though an explosion had gotten close enough to knock him into a patch of grass
"Froakie!" his partner yelled out as his trainer fell to the ground.
"O-ow…" he slowly sat back up and held his head in pain.
He looked back up to see what was going on, but soon regretted it. The seen that played out was that of blood shed! Left and right were either shots being fired, dead bodies, or people dying in front of him. Looks of horror had appeared on both Froakie's and Ash's face, as they stared at the horrendous battle in front of them.
"W-why… why is this happening, why are these people doing this…" he said with a shaky voice.
"Fro…" said Froakie, clutching onto Ash's clothes.
"Please… stop…"
All this death, this bloodshed, the violence, this was all unnecessary to Ash everything that was going seemed to have no meaning in it, no purpose, so why were these people killing each other?! Why would they be doing such a thing!?... it was enough… it had to stop!
"PLEASE STOP IT!" Ash shrieked, only to have the roars of both people and Pokémon cancel him out.
And right after her finished his scream, flames were moving right towards him. Time slows down at that very moment, the both of them seemed to be unable to react as the flames approached them, they stood there with their looks of horror frozen on their faces, this may maybe been where it ended. If not for someone, or something, picking them up and jumping out of the way of the fire.
"Eh!?" he yelped out as he tried to comprehend what just happened.
Whoever just saved them began jumping away from the battlefield, intent on getting them both to safety. The three of them, whoever the third one was, then landed in an area that was far away enough from the battle, but a line of sight that viewed the war could still be seen. The entity that saved them began to walk away, right towards the battle, but stopped when Ash talked to him.
"Wait! W-who are you, and can you explain what is going on, or why?!" he asked, sounding desperate.
"F-fro." Choked out Froakie, nodding its head.
Strangely enough, the clouds had cleared slightly, to allow a single beam of light hit the figure. It revealed a slightly humanoid figure, with webbed hands and feet, a blue and yellow body, black hair with red thunderbolt marks, a red crest, and most eye catching, a giant shuriken made of water on its back. Whoever this was is clearly a Pokémon, but one that Ash and not even Froakie has seen yet.
"W… who are you?' said Ash, in a more calm voice.
"Fro…
The Pokémon then turned its head to them and stared at them for a while, they all stood there staring at each other, and then a voice spoke to them before everything went black.
"Wake up, and save the world."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
9:00 am…
*Ring!* *Ring!* *Ring!*
"WAH!"
"AHH!"
The boys woke up to the sound of the alarm that instantly got them up.
"*Huff* *Huff* *Huff*… o-oh man, it was just a dream, and it felt so real too." Said Ash with a few tears in his eyes, believing his dream was actually a dream.
"No kidding, seeing something like that felt like it had completely changed my outlook on life, I hope to Arceus we don't live through a nightmare like that again." A new voice hoped.
"Huh? Who said that?" he asked
"What do you mean Ash, I didn't hear anything?" the voice said again.
… He looked to his left, and then down, to see Froakie.
"What?" he asked.
"… You're… speaking." He answered.
"What? I have always been able to talk Ash, are you losing it?" asked Froakie.
"No… I can… understand what you're saying!" he yelled out.
…
…
…
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!"
"I-I-I-I-I-I don't believe it! It's awesome, I-I can somehow understand you buddy!"
"That is awesome!"
They embraced each other for a moment, before realizing what day it was today.
"Oh my god! Todays the day buddy! Come on, I'll get dressed! You go down stairs and wait for breakfast!" he said as he ran to the bathroom.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Down stairs…
"Hmhmhmhm… todays the day Froakie! You and Ash are finally going to go on your journey today! You're no longer my little children anymore, you've both grown up so much now, oh, I'm so proud!" Delia hummed first and then squealed at the end.
"I'm coming down mom!" Ash yelled out from upstairs.
"Breakfast is ready honey!" She turned around to look at the stairs that Ash was coming down.
But she instantly got lost as she saw her, now grown up, child standing near the stairs.
Ash had red cap with a half circle detail in the front, he has a blue collared shirt with short sleeves with a black tang top under that could be seen past the waist, two black fingerless gloves, he wears dark blue jeans, and red and white sneakers (we're going with his Kalos design right off the bat).
"Oh my, my boy is now so handsome! I just know you'll get a girlfriend with those looks!"
That last statement made Ash blush a bit, and mad while giggle, a lot.
"Well, this food won't eat itself son! Come and eat!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After breakfast…
"Let's go buddy! Today, we're about to start our journey around the world! And at the end of the journey, we'll be the best Pokémon and Pokémon trainer ever!" Ash said enthusiastically as he picked up his bag.
"Let's go Ash!" said Froakie with the same amount of enthusiasm, jumping onto Ash's shoulder.
"Ash, wait~!" his mother yelled as she came out of the door.
"What is it mom?" Ash said confused.
"Take this!" she pulled out a, red and blue poke ball out of her hand.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"What is it?"
"…It's the last thing your father left behind for us, I think it's the perfect poke ball for Froakie." She explained.
"Ah!"
The last thing his father left behind, was a poke ball, for him? In a way it made sense, for if Ash ever made a wild Pokémon friend, and it wasn't captured yet, it would make sense to leave behind a poke ball to capture it. But how did his father know his partner would be a wild Pokémon? Though that thought quickly left as he smiled.
"Thanks a lot mom, bye bye, I'll be sure to stay in contact okay!?"
"Okay you two, stay safe, take care!" she replied.
"Bye!"
"Goodbye mom!"
Her eyes were watering as she started to lose sight of her children, it was if yesterday they were in the back yard have a frubble fight, now Ash is becoming a Pokémon trainer, with the frog Pokémon as his partner.
'You've both grown up so much, make me and your father proud Ash, Froakie.' She thought as she wiped away her tears.

Prof. Oak's lab…
Ash was running to the lab all the way, too excited for this to slow down, he would finally get to become a trainer, get to beat the gym leaders, battle with so many other trainers, and best of them all, catch new Pokémon along the way! From what he learned, if you include all 6 regions around the world, excluding the rumored Alola since the region itself was still under much construction, there would be a total of 721 POKEMON IN THE WHOLE WORLD!
"*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* were here Froakie!" said Ash as he looked at the lab.
"... It's really happening huh?" said Froakie with some disbelief.
"Yeah, let's go!" but he was stopped by a voice behind him.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Ashy-boy, it's been a while hasn't it."
A tick mark soon appeared above both of our protagonist head as he turned half of his body to the voice.
"Hoh, I could never forget about you! Gare-bare." Said Ash as he turned around, to see non other then, Gary Oak, the grandson of Prof. Oak.
"Heh, I thought a loser like you would've been late to get his starter, but for once, you surprise me by not being a loser today Ashy-boy." He teased.
Froakie was getting really annoyed by this guy's attitude, who was he talk about his trainer like that!
"Tch, you can worry about your own problems, Gare-bare, I will worry about mine, and right now I don't need to worry about choosing a starter." He replied with an annoyed voice.
"Ha! Why, because you already know what starter to choose, you know the best starter out of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle! Well sorry Ashy, if it's the best starter of them all, I can't let you have it! The best starter belongs to the best trainer!" he said even more arrogant.
"Oh no! I don't need to choose a starter because I already have one!" he said getting back at Gary.
"… Wait, What!?"
"That's right. Buddy come out and say, hi." The last part seemed to have a bit of malice in it then the rest.
Before he got to utter one word, he was hit by a something soft, making him stumble back a bit.
"Ah! E-hey! Who did that!" But he then saw the Pokémon on Ash's shoulder.
"Hi…" but what came to Gary was a "Fro…" but a dangerous one.
"So, that's your starter, heh! Doesn't look like much to me, I don't even know what kind of Pokémon it is, but it doesn't matter, since I'll be the best ever! You might as well just release it and give up now Ashy-boy!"
"Let me at 'im… LET ME AT 'IM!" it screamed out in anger.
Ash had to use all of his strength to hold his partner back, even though he too wanted to thrash his bitter rival.
"Ha… breathe Ash, breathe…" he whispered to himself.
"Keh! Enough of this talk, I need to get my things from the professor and get on with my journey, so much better than talking with a loser like you."
Gary walked into the lab casually, while Ash and Froakie were giving him glares behind his back, following later in pursuit.
"Grandpa, you in there! I'm here to become a Pokémon trainer!" he yelled out as he banged the door.
'Gosh, no respect.' Ash thought as he and his partner sweat dropped.
"Hold on a minute Gary! I just need to get everything ready… alright! Come on in!"
Both of them walked into the lab, at the same time all three of them were glaring daggers into each other. They stopped after hearing the professor speak to them
"Ah! Ash, you're here too! Excellent, come on in!" the professor yelled.
Stopping their glaring contest, they look in front of them and were into introduced to three poke balls on a machine, and the professor standing next to it.
"Now, since Ash already has Froakie with him, Gary is the only one who has to choose his starter."
"Hey gramps?"
"Yes Gary" he asked
"How come Ashy here got a Pokémon before I did, what's up with giving him a Pokémon first, and probably a rare one at that, huh?" he said quite annoyed.
"Hmph… I didn't get Froakie just recently Gary."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm mean, me and Froakie here, have been friends for about 5 years now."
Silence
Silence
Silence
"…ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" his yell seem to have shaken the whole lab.
"You're lying! If you have had that frog for that long how come I never hear of it! I-is that why you were so popular at school all that time!" he asked furious.
"Yyyyyup!" he said doing his best to annoy him.
"Argh…!"
"Gary?"
"What!?" he yelled at his grandfather.
"You still need to choose your partner." He answered.
"UH! Oh… ok?" he said as decided to give Ash and then his gramps one last glare.
"… Heh, his fault for not paying attention to what was happening in school." Froakie whispered.
"Hm… okay! I choose Squirtle!" he threw a poke ball in the air, out of it came a blue turtle, with an orange shell. It gave out a loud "Squirt!" when it appeared
"Heh… you see Ashy-boy, this is a real starter that a true Pokémon master would ha-!'
"Blah blah blah we don't care! Just get your stuff and go!"
"Blah blah blah we don't care! Just get your stuff and go!"
They both said the same sentence.
"G-grr… fine! It feels like I'm catching loser itis anyway!" he said as returned his starter and stormed out of the lab.
"Ha… I thought you told my mom you would teach him some humility some time, professor."
"I'm sorry Ash, hopefully, when you beat him in a battle, he will learn. Anyway! Since you already have Froakie, here is your Pokedex, and 6 poke balls, and another for Froakie."
"Thanks Professor, but I don't need the poke ball for Froakie."
"Oh? Why?"
Answering his question, Ash pulled out the red and blue poke ball out of his pocket.
'Gah! T-that poke ball!' Oak thought.
"Okay Froakie, today, you're officially my first partner Pokémon ever!" he said to the frog on his shoulder.
"Hell yeah!" he said as he tapped the button on the poke ball.
It wiggled a bit in his hand before it dinged.
"YES! Froakie is officially my starter Pokémon!" he cheered and did a pose.
The professor stared at the poke ball for a second, before remembering a certain memory that was, fairly similar to what was happening now.
Red hat, red jacket, brown hair, blue jeans, red sneakers, the appearance of a trainer before Ash.
"Oh my… it really is a 'like father, like son' moment right now." He whispered.
"Huh… did you say something Prof. Oak?" asked Ash.
"Oh, no, nothing, nothing at all." He said smiling.
"Well, come on out buddy!"
He released his partner Pokémon, but in a different state, its eyes were wide open, and he was shaking/shivering.
"Hey, what's wrong buddy?"
"Dark… really dark… cold…"
"I guess you don't want to return to your ball then huh?" he asked his partner.
"NO! NEVER AGAIN, PLEASE…!" he pleaded.
"Ok, thanks a lot Prof. Oak, I'll be sure to stay in contact with you too." He told the Oak.
"Thank you, and good luck on your journey, the both of you!"
"Goodbye!" he said as he walked out of the lab.
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye you two, stay well!"

"Well, it's happening buddy, he really have started our adventure." Ash said to his friend.
"Yeah, and I can tell it's gonna be awesome!" his partner replied.
"Well our first stop is Viridian city, so let's go!"
"Okay!"
And they run down the route on their way towards the city, new challenges await, new friends to be made, and a new life for our raven haired protagonist await.
To be continued…
