Unova. It was like a home away from home, with a wide variety of pokemon to discover, new gym leaders to challenge, and most important of all...the food!

The thought of food made Ash Ketchum's stomach growl with hunger, sitting up from his seat on the airplane he was currently on. Professor Oak was needed by Professor Juniper, one of the head professors in Unova, for some projects they were working on with a couple of other regions. It had to do with the legendary pokemon. According to the professor, these pokemon may be holding power that even they were unaware about, so it was up to them to start researching asap!

Next to Ash sat Pikachu, his partner and very best friend. Pikachu had been with him throughout his entire journey, spending every moment by his trainer's side. He certainly wasn't going to stop anytime soon. Pikachu was currently napping, waiting for the flight to be over. To Ash's right was Professor Oak, reading a magazine one of the flight attendants had offered him earlier in the flight.

"It's a good thing Professor Juniper called me at a great time!" Oak began as he turned a page. "There really isn't much going on back in Kanto, and I thought you'd consider coming back here."

It was the end of May, almost June. Meaning, people had so much vacation time to spend. Unova is the place to be at this time of year. With its many beaches and attractions, how could anybody be bored?

"Are you kidding? I'm really glad to be back here!" Ash exclaimed as he looked out the window. His mom thought it would be a good idea to take a small "break" from his said journey. At first, Ash wasn't too happy with the idea of halting his journey of becoming the "ultimate pokemon master" just to kick back and relax. But after a few convincing words from Oak and his mom (not to mention the video calls he had been having with Iris), Ash agreed to accompany the Professor, in hopes of discovering even more Pokémon in Unova, perhaps enlarging his team. Which is why Ash packed the pokemon he had caught during his time in Unova. Snivy, Pignite, Oshawott, to name a few.

As if on cue, the plane finally landed near Unova's sea, the water shining brightly thanks to the sun's bright appearance. Soon, the passengers boarded off the plane and stepping foot into Unova's own land.

"I'm so excited to be back here, aren't you, Pikachu?" Ash asked his pokemon.

"Pika!" He exclaimed in reply, happy to be back as well.

"Well, I'm off to Professor Juniper's lab," Oak gathered his luggage, "you're more than welcome to join me, Ash. Unless, you're eager to go on and reunite with your friends?"

"Don't worry, Professor! I'll make sure to stop by soon!" The trainer reassured as he and Pikachu began to set off. They waved goodbye as they parted in separate directions.

"Well first things first," Ash said as he looked around for a Pokémon Center. To his luck, there was one not too far away from where they had landed.

"We gotta tell Iris that we made it!" Ash grinned as he and Pikachu nodded in agreement.

"Pika pi!" Pikachu agreed, mostly because he will get to see Axew, Iris's pokemon, once more. The duo began to race over to the center, about to call a certain friend...
