I do not own Pokémon! It would be cool if I did, but I don't so...too bad for me I guess.
Oh well, welcome to my first story! :D

Riley Gen was hardly a morning person. Even if he was , he couldn't wake before 11:30 AM to save his life. Even his trusted companion, Lucario, had trouble waking him from his deep sleep.
Lucario sighed and looked at his sleeping Master's Poketch, of which told him the time: 10:24. The jackal sighed again. They were late. No surprise there. Lucario switched the app on the watch, changing it to the map. To get to Professor Oak's lab, they had to travel through Pewter City, Viridian Forest, and Viridian City in less than 8 hours. The Pokémon grabbed a bucket and filled it with water from the stream they had set up camp near.
Lucario knew that bringing the bucket would be a good idea.
If his master didn't want to wake himself up, He'd have to do it himself…

The sound that came from Riley as he got a faceful of ice cold water, courtesy of Lucario, was a gasp and cough as Riley spit up his un-welcome face full of water. The Humanoid Dog-like Pokémon snickered. He'd never get tired of this.
Riley scowled as he picked himself up and grabbed his clothes that he had set next to him the night before. "That was hardly necessary Lucario," He said calmly.
'Maybe not, but it was fun,' Lucario taunted Riley with his Aura speech. They may have been each other's best friends, but that didn't stop Lucario from showing his mischievous side, and that side was usually against Riley.
"Well, at least the egg isn't wet," Riley responded, putting his Black trousers on, along with his hat. The Egg the Professor requested to study in his gloved hands.
'Don't take it the wrong way, Master. We are already late enough for you to be dozing at this hour.' Lucario reasoned. Lucario may have liked to pull pranks on Riley, but the man was just as bad with his pranks as he was. Maybe worse.
Lucario shuddered at the memory of the time he tied his Master to a rock for taking an 'unnecessary' break and falling asleep. He was still trying to force that memory out of him. His Mentor would never let him live that down.
"Alright, fine. just this once I will allow you to get away with it," Riley said, eyes alit with humor. "We better head out now. Professor Oak would not like to be kept waiting."
Lucario nodded, and both human and Pokémon set out to their next destination, Pallet Town.

Ash Satoshi Ketchum, a 16 year old boy, was ready to start his journey.
After years of waiting, he could start his search for a certain person. Someone who almost never left his mind.
It was his father.
Ash clenched his fist at the thought of that man who thought he could hurt his mother and run away. The man who had left because he was a coward. The man Ash had as a father.
He would find answers as to why he left. The little he had known of his Father came from his mom's Journal, which, although he felt bad about it, had stolen and read it before. He tried to force the memory of the tear stained paper telling of what his mother lived with. He would search for him out there, and he would find him.
Ash had to find him. He had to know why his father could do those things to his mother. He had to know why.
"Ash? Are you still awake," He heard his mother scold him for being up too late. "You know you're supposed to get up early."
"Sorry mom, I'll go to bed now," He said to her.
"You better, you can't get up late for your journey now, that would be terrible!" And with that she was gone.
Ash knew that she depressed lately. He would be too, if he was left by his son to go on a dangerous journey that could possibly kill him, leaving her alone. But he had to go, he just had to know of his father.
Ash eventually got lost in thought, thinking of his mother. She wouldn't be completely alone, he knew. Professor Oak would most likely stop by to see her now and again. He just hoped she would be okay. She was quick to lose her cheerfulness at times, and that upset Ash. That man had no right to take away his mother's happiness. That was unforgivable.
Ash realised he had spent much more time thinking than he thought. Looking at the clock, it had been awhile since his mom had come in. With the thought of this mother on his mind, he drifted off to sleep.
He had no idea what awaited him when he awoke.
So how was that? Bad, good, terrible, amazing...You tell me. Review! Ask me questions or criticize me to make me a better writer. Anyways, I'm out. Peace! :) EDIT: I reworked this chapter a bit, hoping to make it a bit better. For one, I added scene breaks. I don't want people to close out a story for not having something like scene breaks, which I can add easily. EDITED: 11/26/14
