How The West Was Won
Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Pokemon. Same goes for the music.
A/N: I will show the ages for characters as they enter the story. This is my first fic no don't flame me too bad. Also, 4Kids never gave Brock a last name, so I shall use Slate. There will be romance but I don't want it to overcome the plot. Also, I want this to be a multisong-fic. I will use many songs but they will be from the same few bands (Zeppelin, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, etc.)

italics- thinking and lyrics

Chapter 1
Ash Ketchum looked ahead at the road that lay ahead of him. It went on for miles. Him and his closest friends, Brock Slate and Misty Waterflower, had been traveling on and off for several years after Ash returned from the Ishu region. They only went on a journey when there were new Pokemon or anything else discovered. Ash couldn't resist an oncoming quest. This particular time they had no clear destination and they traveled because they all wanted too. "Just like old times," Brock commented on the group's new journey. They had all became best friends when Ash started his journey 15 years ago. The trio was inseparable until Misty left to tend to the gym in Cerulean City when her sisters left for a trip around the world. Ash had 4 more companions (May, Max, Dawn, Iris) and all came and went. He wasn't as close to any of them as he was to Brock and Misty.
"ON TO A NEW JOURNEY!" Ash shouted, now running ahead reminding his friends of his once very young self. Ash and Co. were going to try to "relive", so to speak, their old adventures. Starting Pallet Town, Ash's hometown and where the journey began so long ago. The road to Viridian wasn't very long, but everyone had fun reminiscing. Then they reached that spot.
