His Life, Our Life as Ketchums

Chapter 1: Burning Ash

Ash Satoshi Ketchum, son of Delia Ketchum and Red Ketchum, is a 10 year old boy who is now getting ready for his first ever pokemon adventure. He waited long but it was worth it. He always dreamed of becoming a Pokemon Master. Like any child, he went to school; learning Science (All about pokemon) and Math (Evolutions of Pokemon) even AP (History and Legends), he may be childish and immature that time but he was one of the brightest kids in Pallet Town. A lot of things happened during his childish years and because of that he knew he was ready to take on any challenge, he wasn't going to let anybody stop him in his way.

(Flashback: Ketchum Residence)

"Mom can I have a pokemon already?" asked by 5 year old Ash.
"No honey, you can't cause you're still too young, now run along outside and play with your friends." She said. Ash sighed sadly and went out to play. He told all his friends that he really wanted a pokemon of his own but couldn't for he was too young.

(Flashback: Pallet School)

MATH

"Eevee plus daylight training equals?" asked the teacher. All the kids raised their hands and the teacher called Gary. "Espeon, ma'am" he said. "Correct! Next one, Raichu minus thunderstone is?" asked the teacher. Nobody raised their hands except for Ash. "Yes, Ash" the teacher looked at Ash expectantly. "It is a Pikachu because Pikachu plus thunderstone is Raichu." Ash answered. The class went silent and muttered things like "that's right, a Pikachu", "how could I forget", "a Pikachu?" and went on.

SCIENCE

The whole class was filled with silence, everybody looked serious while taking the surprised test. Each one tried hard to poke their tiny little brains to remembering what their Science teacher taught them the past few days except for Ash. Ash didn't need to think, he knows all the answers to the questions whether multiple choice, essay or identification. He knew and recognized each one, as a result he got and A positive, a product of studying day and night.

(Flashback: Viridian forest)

8 year old Ash was walking by the forest for a stroll, it was peaceful and quiet until a pink pokemon bumped into him.

"Ouch! Watch where you're going!" shouted Ash. Ash looked up and saw a pink pokemon rubbing her head with her paws."

"Sorry Chosen One, I was looking for berries particularly the Oran Berrries. I didn't realize I was going to bump into you." The pokemon said.

"That's okay…who are you by the way cause I don't know any pokemon that is pink, small and can levitate from the ground. Perhaps, are you the only one of a kind or a legendary of some sort? And what did you call me, Chosen-what?" asked Ash.

"Well…you're right. I'm Lady Mew and it's nice to meet you Ash. Lord Arceus, king of Pokemon, has appointed you as his Chosen One." Mew said, she was about to speak again when she remembered that she was supposed to run an errand for Arceus. "Shucks, I gotta go. See ya!" she said.

"Wait!" Ash shouted but it was too late because Mew disappeared with a blink of an eye. "What was that all about?" he thought. He decided to walk back home even though he was confused whether it had happened or not.

"In time Chosen One, you will know." Mew giggled.

(Flashback: 9th birthday)

"Ash, there's a package for you. Come and get it." Mrs. Ketchum shouted.

Ash hurriedly walk down the stairs and took the package up to his room quickly. He locked the door and tightly shut the windows. He looked curiously at the package and thought, "I wonder what could be in it…" He opened the package and saw a book, a letter and a pokeball. He was shocked at the same time a bit cautious. A lot things came through his mind like "Who sent this, wow a pokeball or what's inside the book". He ripped the letter and read,

Dear son,

How have you been? Eating well? Is she okay? If you got to read this message then I'm sure you'll be thrilled to what I've put in this package. My son, my pride, read the book for it is essential to your growth, it will enhance your mind and your soul. As for the pokeball, I know it is a bit sudden to give you a pokemon of your own but I'm sure you'll take care of this little guy pretty well and you'll be able to handle this by yourself. Happy Birthday Ash and know that soon will meet at the right time. Make sure you meet your cousin, your Uncle Riley and others cause they too are like you and me.

Love always,
Red Ketchum (Your Dad)

"Wow a gift from dad!" Ash wondered. He took the book out of the box and the pokeball. "Well, here I go." Ash thought and took the pokeball in his hands. He threw the pokeball in the air and out came a short, chubby rodent Pokémon. It is covered in yellow fur, and its ears are long and pointed with black tips. It has a small mouth, brown eyes, and two red circles on its cheeks.

"Pika?" the pokemon said and looked around the room confused.
"Wow! A Pikachu..." Ash thought. "Ummm…hi, my name's Ash and it is nice to meet you Pikachu." Ash said.

"Pika Pikachu!" the pokemon replied while waving its little paws in the air. "He's my trainer? Wait a minute…Ash? Don't tell me this is Ash Ketchum, son of Red." Pikachu thought. Pikachu used his aura that enabled him to scan Ash' aura signature, what he found out was Ash's aura is the same as Red's. "Well, he is Red's son. Just as he told me, jet black hair with Z's on his face and a good thing too cause I'm not just an ordinary Pikachu, I was born with the gift of Aura just like him." Pikachu thought. He looked at the pokeball and kicked the pokeball out of Ash's hand and jumped on Ash's shoulder claiming his place as his master's loyal partner.

Ash was surprised but understood why his friend kicked the pokeball. Clearly, Pikachu doesn't like pokeballs much. He patted Pikachu and received a "Cha" as a response, he ran down the stairs to tell his mom all about the package and introduced his new friend.

(Flashbacks end)
(Present time)

"What do you say Pi? Are we ready to go?" Ash asked while checking the things that he packed.
"Ready!" Pikachu said through the Aura link that he and his master share last year.
"Well then, off we go!" "Cha!" Ash shouldered his backpack and now was on his way with Pikachu in his rightful place.
