Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, characters, names, logos, trademarks, etc. This is my first fanfic. Hope I get some reviews and please tell me if you see errors. Since I'm new to this, I'm just going to make this story one giant chapter, but keep updating. Part1: Current Life Ash Ketchum sat at his house in Pallet Town. His trusted Pikachu sat nobally on his shoulder while Ash scarfed down a bowl of cereal. He just got news that the newest challenger to the Indigo Plateau had just beaten the first of the Elite Four. You see, after Ash's journey, he became the fourth of the Elite Four in Kanto. Just as Ash was about to leave, he was stopped by a 9 year old boy by the name of Brock Ketchum, named after Ash's best human-friend. He was Ash's only child, but since his wife in the Ishu region for contests, Ash would have to leave him home alone for a few days. 'Oh boy...' would be any parents first thought, but all of Ash and his wife's pokemon resided on the property, so they could keep an eye on the boy. "Dad! Come quick! I think Mommy won!" the boy exclaimed as he dragged Ash into the living room. Sure enough, on the TV stood Ash's wife, accepting a contest ribbon. "Congratulations to the winner of the Hiun City pokemon contest... May Ketchum, from Petalburg City!" [That's just for you, advanceshippers :) ] Ash could not believe it. 'May had actually won an Ishu contest...' Part 2: The first Flashback Upon relizing this, Ash had a flashback, taking him back to a few weeks after he had beaten the Sinnoh League. Ash, Brock, and Dawn were staying at a pokemon center in the Resort Area. They were there to view a Magikarp Capturing competition. Members of the Ribbon Syndicate had given Dawn free tickets for winning the Grand Festival.
