Chapter One: Ketchum meets Ketchum
"Are you ready to go home King?" A tanned boy around sixteen years old with spiky black hair that was pushed downwards by his dark gray beanie and clear blue eyes wearing a short sleeved black jacket over a partially shown white shirt, blue jeans with noticeable stains, gray-and-silver boots, and a strange device over his right eye (It's the device from Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the device that let's the person see the Shadow Pokémon). King was a Pichu with very pale yellow, almost white, fur and dark silver markings instead of the usual pale yellow fur with black markings. "Pi-chu!" King replied happily as the boat neared an unknown region. "Home here we come!"
The boat docked at Blitz City, a city that was powered by electricity and home to the flying type gym, and the people on it including the boy and King left the boat until the boy stopped and looked around. "Where's Mary-Anne?" He asked King as they looked around. His father died when he was ten so his father's best friend and housekeeper Mary-Anne raised him like her own son but she refused to let him call her 'Mom'.
"I am so so so sorry I'm late!" Someone shouted, which made him look to the left to see a woman in her twenties with a sprawl of curly brown hair and gray eyes wearing a green coat over a pink shirt, a knee-length white skirt, and black sandals. She stopped in front of him and raised a hand so he wouldn't talk to her until she caught her breath. It was a few seconds later that she was able to straighten her back and catch her breath. "I still can't believe that the second you approached the starters that this little cutie jumped into your arms."
"Pi!" King agreed as they walked towards a cart that looked like a cross between ones the pioneers used and ones that British royalty use with a Rapidash waiting patiently for its' owner. "Hello Blaze Runner," The boy said as he patted the Rapidash's muzzle before getting into the cart. "How is Night?" Night is his father's Umbreon who was staying at the ranch due to throwing up once and sleeping most of the day.
"Well let's just say that Night wasn't a boy like your father thought," She said as they reached their hometown Sakuraba where the first gym was located. They reached the ranch where they live and put Blaze Runner in the stable before the boy went to the backyard where the ranch was and saw his father's Umbreon with one silver-white egg and one brown-cream egg. "Hey Night!" He shouted as he approached the Umbreon, who cooed in response before raising her head to get her ears scratched.
King sniffed the egg before helping the boy with scratching Night's ears. The Umbreon meowed in happiness before pushing the brown-cream egg towards him with her snout. "Are you sure?" He asked and she nodded, which meant that it was okay for him to have it. "Hey Satoshi," Mary-Anne called from the back door before she walked to him. "Professor Kiryu called and asked you to show a new trainer around the town tomorrow."
"Sure, but I have a job to do remember?" Satoshi said before he thought about it a bit. "Maybe I'll ask if they want to do the Pokémon League too."
"Hello Neo Region!" Ash shouted as he got off the plane with Serena and Bonnie. Bonnie pleaded with her father and brother to let her join Ash on another journey and they agreed, on the condition that Serena would go with them to the new region. So now here they are. "Professor Oak got a message from the region's professor that someone would show us around," Serena said as she tried to look through the crowd. "But I don't see anyone."
"Professor, I'll tell you when I find them!" Someone walking in their direction shouted through a holo-phone that looked similar to the holo-caster but it could open and close like a cellphone and you needed earbuds to listen through if you wanted privacy. "Hey! At least I didn't lose an Eevee on the day that I got King!" Whoever was on the holo-phone did not look happy. "BECAUSE I DON'T OWN AN EEVEE!" The boy shouted before he hung up and pulled the earbuds out before almost tripping over Dedenne. "Whoa!" He regained his footing before looking at the electric fairy mouse.
"Are you lost little one?" He asked before he got an answer. "Dedenne! There you are!" Bonnie shouted as she ran up to Dedenne with two other people chasing after her. "Thank you so much for finding Dedenne!" She shouted as the mouse jumped into her bag. "Well considering that I almost tripped over him, I probably wouldn't have found him unless you told me he was missing."
"BONNIE!" Someone shouted and they both turned to see a girl with short honey-color hair and blue eyes wearing a pinkish red fedora, a pink dress with white sleeves over a black shirt, a pinkish red sleeveless jacket that reached where her black leggings end, and brown riding boots approach them before stopping so she wouldn't run either of them over. "Clemont told us to keep an eye on you and it will not be wasted because you ran off!"
"Us?" He asked before a tanned boy with spiky black hair covered by a red cap with a white visor, a shortsleeved and blue version of his own jacket, blue jeans with no stains, black fingerless gloves with red cuffs, and red-and-black boots came up to them and bent over in exhaustion. "Nevermind."
"The professor of this region said that there would be someone to show us around his hometown." Bonnie said, reminding the boy of why he was even in the city. "Oh yeah! That's me! I'm Satoshi Ketchum!" He stuck his hand out for them to shake. "I'm Bonnie Voltage! And you already know Dedenne!" Bonnie said as she shook his hand. "I'm Serena, nice to meet you Satoshi." Serena said as she shook his hand.
"Did you say 'Ketchum'?" The boy asked as he ignored Satoshi's outstretched hand. "Yeah, why?" Satoshi asked before he saw his own face and brown eyes met blue eyes. "My name is Ash Ketchum."
