"Home sweet home, right Pikachu?" Ash Ketchum asked, gazing over Pallet town. "PikaPi" answered Pikachu with a smile. For a couple of moments Ash and Pikachu simply stared a Pallet town, but suddenly Ash yelled "First one home gets seconds!" They both raced down the hill and caught Ash's mother about to go to the supermarket. "MOM!" Ash cried. "Sweetie!" Delia called back "I missed you! Oh, by the way, your friends are waiting for you outside in the backyard." Then, she left.
Ash raced into the backyard and found Misty, Brock, Cilan, Iris, Dawn, May, Max, and… Paul, Gary, and Trip waiting for him, with they're arms crossed. "Hey guys!" Ash yelled. "Wait, why are they here?" gesturing to Paul, Gary, and Trip.
They simply glared at him. ``What?!" he asked. "They are real Pokémon masters, unlike you!" Misty spat. "Ya! I'm ashamed to have a friend who competed in 5 Pokémon leagues and lost in 5 Pokémon leagues!" Brock continued. "We don't want to be friends with the likes of you!" Cilan said. "I knew you were pathetic the moment I saw you." Paul said.
Ash stumbled back, his jaw agape and eyes wide and stuttered: "F-f-fine. I g-guess th-this is the l-last you'll b-b-be seeing of m-me." "C'mon Pikachu." "PikaPi!" Pikachu shook his head and stuck his tongue out then ran to the others. "HA! Even your own Pokémon don't like you!
They then released all of Ash's Pokémon except for Charizard who growled at them. Ash hopped on Charizard, straightened up and glared at them all. "I'll prove you wrong, all of you! One day I will be a Pokémon master!" And then Charizard took off. And that was the last anyone saw of Ash Ketchum.
