Hey people! Well, I just felt like writing a chapter on a great idea I had for a series. It is indeed Pokemon and though I don't know too much about it right now, I really felt in a writing mood and just wrote what was on my mind!

Enjoy~

Chapter 1: The Appearance

"ASH! Wake up! :O"

"Come on, Ash. You wanted to go!"

Cookies. Oh how yummy.

"ASH!"

Ash jumped at Misty's loud shout, revealing the drool on his white pillow.

"Oops," said Ash, a little embarrassed.

Misty sighed. "Ash, weren't you the one who said you wanted to go on vacation?"

Ash wanted to go on vacation before his long days of pokemon battling and traveling. Misty and Brock agreed to go, so they all decided to wake up early and set out for the cold mountains in the summer. Secretly, he had hoped to see an Articuno.

"Oh yeah. Haha. Sorry guys, I'll be out in a little while!" said Ash, then ran to get his backpack. Pikachu then joined him, jumping ecstatically on Ash's red cap.

"Pika pi! Pika chu chu! (Ash! Are you ready?)" Pikachu asked happily.

"Let's go!" Ash confidently said, beckoning Misty and Brock toward the mountains.

It took a while to get to the mountains, but on the way, they saw many pokemon and occasionally stopped to eat Brock's delicious stew or to be fascinated by all the pokemon.

Finally, they were at the foot of the mountain. It got colder, so the group put on thin jackets and warm ski pants that went over their regular pants. Eventually, they went deeper into the mountains. Pikachu went into Ash's backpack as it got chillier walking in the snow.

But then, a blizzard started up and they had to set up camp. It was getting late. Brock cooked and Ash and Misty created a good fire that crackled. They were sitting on a log, warming themselves up. Then, Misty noticed the space between her and Ash. She blushed and moved closer to clueless Ash, who pushed his hands toward the fire like a child would, smiling his cooky smile. Misty laughed and looked up to the sky. She could see her favorite constellations. "Look at the stars, Ash. Aren't they beautiful?" said Misty, sighing and resting her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, they sure are, huh?" said Ash, "Do you know any constellations, Mist?"

His casual response made Misty feel warm inside.

"Oh yeah, I know some. But an idiot like you could probably only spot the easy ones to find, haha," Misty chuckled.

"Hey!" Ash said, frowning, but grinned a second after, leaning his head back to see the stars better.

"See, there's Sagitta." Misty pointed out.

"A what?" Ash asked, confused.

Misty laughed, "Sagitta is the arrow constellation. It's a summer constellation. It's a really simple one to find. It only has 4 points. It looks like a path that splits in two at the end."

"That's cool," said Ash, fascinated.

Then, they noticed some sort of bird flying toward their camp.

"What's that?" asked Ash, curiously.

Brock pulled out some binoculars and spotted an Articuno.

"It's an Articuno! What is it doing at this time?" said Brock.

"An Articuno?" said Ash, surprised yet overjoyed.

"It's so beautiful," Misty commented, fascinated.

They all looked at its beautiful majestic color. Then, its wings opened and as it flapped them, a blizzard quickly followed. Everything was fast then. Brock packed all the things so they wouldn't be affected by the snowstorm. Ash and Misty kept looking at the beautiful blue Articuno.

Then, they noticed something falling from the sky as the Articuno flew in circles quite far away from their camp. The object was falling, and on instinct, Ash took his backpack and sprinted out of the camp towards the slowly falling object, leaving Misty and Brock at the camp.
