Chapter 1

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash Ketchum commanded his feisty friend Pikachu. Pikachu struck a piece of cardboard and it burned to a crisp. "Great work, Pikachu!" "Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed jumping into Ash's arms. "Ash!" said a voice. "Huh?" Ash questioned looking in the direction of the voice. It was his mother, Delia Ketchum. She had her hands on her hips and a stern expression on her face. "Enough training! Why aren't you at the New Years Eve Party?" Ash sighed. "Mom, the most important Pokemon Tournament is coming!" "That's not for a long time! Now please go to the party."

"But--!" Ash started.

"Ahem!"

"C'mon!"

"Please, Ash!"

"Okay!" Ash exclaimed walking off with his hands balled into fists. Ash would soon be grateful that he went to the New Years Eve Party, for there he would find a very special and familiar face. Ash walked into the doors to the party and sighed. "Oh, I'm so excited to be here." He muttered sarcastically. Meanwhile somewhere at the party.

"I can't believe Mom made us come all this way to go to this stupid party." Muttered a young boy.

"The only reason we came to this party is because later on where going to go to school here." Explained a girl who was a few years older then the boy.

"We're going to school at this place?!" the boy remarked.

"Don't be a smart aleck." The girl sneered. "Actually you always are a smart aleck."

Nearby there were two people getting finished with karaoke and the announcer was searching the crowd for another pair to go next. The spotlight was randomly moving around and lit up Ash.

"Wha…?" He winced at the power of the light. "We have our number one!" The announcer called out.

Ash let out a nervous laugh. "You've got it all wrong…I can't sing!" Ash was pushed from behind and was pulled up stage and given a microphone. He stood there stunned at all the people around him. Normally Ash didn't stage fright but this was different.

The spotlight went at it again and lit a young girl with brown hair and wore a red outfit.

"What?!" She squeaked, stepping out of the spotlight. "Looks like we have our number two!!" Shouted the announcer. She also was pulled up stage and given a microphone as well. Ash gasped.

"May!!?" May turned to her karaoke partner.

"Ash?!!" She was surprised just the same but was extremely happy, too.

"Seems you two know each other, eh? Makes singing together all the better, right?" The announcer said joyfully. Ash and May just give him a weird look. "Okay…let's begin."

Music begins to play. Numbers appeared on the screen showing May when to start singing. May closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 3, 2, 1…

"W-we were strangers starting out on a journey…never dreaming what we'd have to go through. Now here we are, suddenly standing…at the beginning with you."

Ash was taken by surprise. May could sing…really well. It was his turn to do the singing. He gulped and waited for his cue.

"No one told me I was going to find you. Unexpected what you did to my heart, when I lost hope you were there to remind me…this is the start."

May was staring at Ash as soon as he had started singing. She was so focused in looking at him she almost had forgotten they were both supposed to be singing and joined in with Ash two seconds later. A broad blush crossed her face.

"And life is a road and want to keep going! Love is a river I want to keep flowing! Life is a road, now and forever! Wonderful journey."

By this time Ash and May were singing and dancing to the music and having the time of their lives!

Moments later they were finally down to the last line of the song. "In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning…with you." Ash and May looked deep into each other's eyes as if in a trance. Soon the room filled with plenty of applause but Ash and May seemed to be more interested in just staring at each other.

Later that evening Ash had invited May and Max to his house.

"What brings you guys here to Kanto?" Ash asked.

"Well, since Max and I have been at home for awhile Max keeps complaining that he's bored." Ash chuckled at that.

"So our parents agreed that we should go to a normal school." May explained. "What school are you going to?" Ash wondered.

"Kento Middle School." May told him.

"Hey! Same here!" Ash exclaimed.

"That's great!" May smiled sweetly.

Max rolled his eyes. "I don't see what's so cool about going to school together." Ash and May glared at him.

"What school are you going to?" Ash uttered. May sighed. "Mom and Dad said that he's so smart he gets to go to our school as well." "You're kidding?!" Ash gaped surprised.

"Wish I was." May muttered.

"I heard that all your old friends are going to Kento Middle School, too." Delia explained "Brock, Misty, Tracey..."

Ash smiled. "All the better!"
