Ash's Cousin

Chapter 1

Meeting.

Ash woke up early that day. He wanted to look nice for his cousin who was coming to stay with him and his mom. The two-year-old boy, who wanted to become a Pokemon Master ran downstairs and was greeted by his mom.

"Good morning Ash. Say hello to you cousin Jade." She said pointing to an five-year-old girl with brown-layered hair. Jade hade bright jade green eyes, which explained her name. Ash noticed immediately that Jade was holding a Pokemon.

"Wow. What Pokemon is that?" he asked curiously looking at the red/orange fox, with six tails in her arms.

"Oh, this is a Vulpix that my parents caught and gave to me before they left. It's a fire type." She said hugging it.

"You like Pokemon. Cool. So do I and I want to be the World's greatest Pokemon Master." Said Ash

"Really? I want to be the World's greatest Pokemon Master." Jade said looking at him.

"Where did Auntie and Uncle go?" Ash asked his curiosity getting the better of him again.

"Auntie and Uncle went Pokemon training and won't be back for a long time. Until they do come back be good and play with Cousin Jade." Said Mrs. Ketchum

"You can call me Jade." Said Jade

"Ash go upstairs and change. Gary wanted to play. Take Jade with you too meet him. I'm sure they will like each other." Mrs. Ketchum said to Ash who was running upstairs as fast as he could.

When Ash came downstairs Jade was waiting for him. He signaled for her to follow him, she did of course with her Vulpix right behind her. Once outside Ash went looking for Gary, he found Gary in the usual spot not far from the Pokemon Research Lab.

"Hi Gary. I want you to meet my cousin Jade." Said Ash pushing Jade into Gary. "Jade, Gary, Gary, Jade. Now what was it you wanted to see me about?" Ash asked after quickly introducing them into each other.

"My Grandpa wants to know if you are interested in becoming a Pokemon trainer." Said Gary nodding his head towards the Lab.

"Of course I do, but first I will have to bring it up with mom." Said Ash

"Do you think I could be a trainer too?" asked Jade curiously

"Of course, I myself want to be a trainer but I think I won't start until I am 13 which will be in eight years." Said Gary

"Why 13?" asked Ash

"You have to be at least 10 to be a trainer, but I want to start as the same time as you so we can be rivals." Said Gary

"I don't want to go on my own so I will also leave at the age of 13." Said Jade picking up her Vulpix and petting it.

Later that day Ash brought up the question about being a Pokemon trainer and so did Jade.

"Professor Oak wanted to know if I could be a Pokemon trainer. Can I mom and Jade too please?" Ash asked

"But Ash if Jade wants to be a trainer she would leave in just five years and I think that is too early for her leave here alone."

"Auntie Delia, I was planning to leave when I was 13 so I could travel with Ash and Gary." Said Jade looking at her Aunt.

"Well I guess that's OK with me and your parents did say that if you wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer you could go ahead and do it." Mrs. Ketchum said smiling at her niece.

"What about me?" asked Ash impatiently

"Well I suppose it is OK, but please be careful." Mrs. Ketchum said looking at her son.
