Ash was just your average kid. He couldn't wait. Neither could his pen pal, Matt Flare. Matt Flare was a blue-haired boy, waiting to go on a journey, just like Ash. They were the same age, 10. Matt was a kid from Twinleaf Town, Sinnoh. He had come over to Pallet, so he could start his Pokemon Journey there. They were watching tv. It was Nidorina vs Gengar. Nidorina used Horn Attack, but Gengar used Hypnosis. The trainer called back Nidorina, and sent out Onix. "So cool" Matt said, "We're finally 10, so we can get our Pokemon licenses." "I know" Ash said, "I'm gonna be the best there ever was." "I think you mean me" said Matt. The two laughed. "You're on" Matt said. They were planning to get the Pokemon from rofessor Oak. "What are you doing up" Ash's mom asked, "You two need to get to bed, in order to actually get Pokemon!" "Yes, mom" Ash said. "Here's our spare bed" Ash's mom said, giving the bed to Matt, "It's 11 o clock, now get some rest!"

Ash was dreaming about throwing a Poke ball. He threw his clock. The two woke up. "Oh no" they said, "We're late!" The quickly put on their clothes and ran to Professor Oak's. The two ran into Gary Oak. "Hello" he said, "Late as usual." The fans were cheering for Gary. "Are all the Pokemon gone" asked Matt. "Yup" Gary said, "But you're lucky to even meet me, Ash and Matt." He walked away, laughing. Professor Oak walked up. "You're so late" he said. "Do you have anymore Pokemon" Matt said. "Sure, but I'm not too sure you want them" Professor Oak said. "We do" the two boys quickly replied. He took them to his lab. "Go, Poke Ball" he said. He threw two Poke Balls, and out came two Pikachu. "A Pikachu" Matt said, "Well, it's better than nothing. Come in your Poke Ball, Pikachu." The Pikachu nodded its head, no. "What" was Matt's response. "Come on" said Ash. The other Pikachu refused. "These are some fiesty Pokemon" Oak said. "Well, I guess you don't need to go in your Poke Ball" Matt said. "You're right" said Ash. They picked up their Pikachus. The Pikachus electrocuted everyone in the room. "Good luck" Professor Oak said, "You'll need it, and here are your Pokedexes and Poke Balls." Ash and Matt walked out and saw Ash's mom with a crowd of people. "Good luck on your journey" she said, "I packed everything that you two will need." "Thanks" said Matt, "My Pikachu will be the best that there is, and it will behave, right?" The two Pikachus electrocuted everyone. "Bye" Ash's mom said. Matt and Ash walked off, with their Pikachu's in pursuit.

"I sure am excited for my Pokemon journey" Matt said, "And I can't wait to wipe that smug look off of Gary's face when I challenge him." "Yeah" Ash said, "Now let's get to business. Pikachu get in your Poke Ball." The Pikachu refused. Ash tripped on a rock. Both of the Pikachus laughed. "You need to learn some manners" Matt said. His Pikachu electrocuted him again. "This is so not fair" Ash yelled, "How will I get all the Pokemon in the world?" Matt looked into his bag. "Hey" he said, "We have rubber gloves." "So" Ash said. "They'll stop us from getting electrocuted by our Pokemon" Matt said, "I can't believe that we have to carry our Pokemon on strings." "Wait" Ash said, "Quiet." It was a Pidgey. Matt aimed his Pokedex at it. "Pidgey" it said,"It's a flying Pokemon. Among all the flying Pokemon, it is the gentlest and easiest to capture. A perfect target for the beginning Pokemon Trainers to test his Pokemon's skills." "Okay, then" Ash said,"Go Pikachu!" Pikachu refused. "Go Pikachu" Matt said. Both of the Pikachus went up a tree. "Oh come on" Ash said, "Please." The Pikachu just turned its head. "Let's get this over with" Matt said. He took out a Poke Ball. "Go, Poke Ball" he said. The Poke Ball hit the Pidgey. The Poke Ball shook around a little. The Pidgey came right out and flew away. "Oh man" Matt said. "To catch a Pokemon, the Pokemon must be weakened" the Pokedex said. "I've got one" Matt said. He covered a Pidgey with his bag. He was blown in the air, and knocked back down. "What" Matt said. "Pidgey's gust power creates tornadoes" the Pokedex said, "It also has a Sand Attack." "Run" Ash said, right before he was hit with sand. "My eyes" Matt said. The Pikachus laughed again.

"Here's another one" Matt said. He threw a Poke Ball. It wasn't a Pidgey. It was a Spearow. "That's not a Pidgey" Ash said. Matt aimed his Pokedex at it. "Unlike Pidgey" said the Pokedex, " Spearow has a terrible attitude and is very wild and will sometimes attack other Pokemon and humans." "Uh oh" Ash said. The Spearow flew after Ash. Ash ducked for cover. The Spearow went for the Pikachus. "Why would it do that" Matt asked. "Wild pokemon tend to be jealous of trained Pokemon" the Pokedex said. "Wow" Matt said. The Pikachus electrocuted the Spearow. It called the other Spearows. The Trainers and Pokemon started to run. They attacked the Pikachus hurting them. The trainers jumped into the water. They swam. They saw Magikarp and a Gyraddos. They got out of the water and saw an orange head. "Whoa" she said, "Why are you mistreating your Pikachus?" "We're not" Matt said, "They were attacked by a flock of Spearow." "You better get them to the Pokemon Center" she said, "It's that way." "Thanks" Matt said. They could hear the Spearow right behind them. Matt and Ash grabbed the girl's bike. "We'll return it" Matt said. They ran off with it. "Get back here with my bike" she said. They ran some more. They threw the bike at the Spearow. It missed. "Oh man" Matt said. The Spearow had finally caught up to them, and were attacking. "Get in your Poke Balls" Ash said, "You guys need to get in your Poke Balls. Maybe we can save you, if you just trust us." "We won't let you hurt my Pokemon" Matt said. The Pikachus looked at their Trainers, and realized that their Trainers cared. The Spearow charged at the Trainers. Then, the two Pikachus jumped up, and electrocuted all of the Spearow. "Pikachu" they said. The Spearow were chased away. "Great job, buddy" Matt said. "Friends" Ash said. "Pika" the Pikachu said. They looked up and saw another flying Pokemon. "What's that" Matt asked. "There are still unidentified Pokemon to be discovered" the Pokedex said.

This is only the beginning of the fun adventure that these four will have. Their destined to discover new things. They'll travel the incredible world of Pokemon.

(A/N That's how Pokemon always ends. I want it to feel like you are actually reading Pokemon.)
