The real power he possessed

Chapter 1: The beginning he never regretted

A/N: This is my first fanfic, so sorry if it gets to be really bad or I get writers block. This is a pokemon fanfiction written after I saw that Ash lost again. I hope you don't mind me crediting a few sources for my ideas even though I won't have Ash as prepared, just better as a trainer. Credits go to "The Greatest There Was or Ever Will Be" by Forever United Never We Fall and assorted ash betrayal stories. Without further ado, let's start his Journey. Oh, and I might add an OC when I develop her. ;) I will pair Ash with an OC that will replace the girls even though you will see them all and he does meet them all in some form. The girl is a co-ordinator by the way. Now we can start.

Chapter 1: The Beginning he Never Regretted

It was a quiet day out in Pallet Town, and as always, there were two boys ready to play with the pokemon at the local ranch. One was the grandson of the legendary Professor Samuel Oak, Gary Oak. However, the other one was the chosen of the god pokemon Arceus, and the descendant of Sir Aaron, Ash Ketchum. Both boys wanted to be the best they could be and always competed. Ash knew he had to hold back because when he and Gary competed, he would crush Gary, so Ash just kept letting Gary win.

One fateful day, however, Ash woke up late.

"...What...time is it?" Ash asked. Delia, Ash's mom, was standing over him. She then lightly smacked him since it was so late in the morning

"IT'S 11:00 IN THE MORNING AND YOU JUST WOKE UP! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BIRTHDAY OF SOMEONE'S LIFE AND YOU WASTED IT! RUN OVER TO PROFESSOR OAK'S RIGHT NOW, APOLOGIZE, AND GET YOUR STARTER TO START ON THE JOURNEY YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR WHOLE LIFE!" Delia screamed.

"Alright mom, I will!" Ash whined, running as fast as he could to Professor Oak's lab.

"Hello my Boy! I trust you came late for a reason?" Professor Oak teased.

"I'm Sorry Professor! I overslept today!" Ash exclaimed back.

"It's quite alright, although we are out of pokemon except for one..." Oak replied.

"Which one is it?" Ash curiously questioned

"Why it's a Pikachu!" Oak informed Ash, "But because it's a bit weak, I am going to give you another Pokemon. This pokemon is extremely rare in the Kanto Region, and as such, I want to give it to you because I know your strength. I saw you hold back for Gary, but you held back too much. This Pokemon is a Riolu that needs your strength to train. So please use all of your strength to train it. I want you to know that if you train it, it might become the strongest Lucario to ever exist. However, I have researched the Riolu line and found that they might not have to become Lucario if you train them extremely hard. I'll leave it at that, my boy," Oak explained.

"Now Go set out on this Journey! I trust that my assistants will come and give you supplies," Oak declared. The assistants did indeed give Ash a pokedex and a few pokeballs, enough to get him to Viridian City. He also received a town map from Daisy, Gary's nicer sister. Eventually, he left Pallet Town to embark on his quest.

A/N: I hope you guys liked it, so please send me a review or PM, If you flame I won't care as much but I want actual critiques to work on. Next time, Ash catches a few pokemon (Including some other ones he didn't catch before), and challenges Brock! I hope you guys have a great time!
