AN; I don't own Pokémon.
Sorry for those who are waiting patiently for my other stories. I'm not going to continue Changes in the Winds for lack of ideas. For Spoken Eyes, I won't able to update it until next year at the earliest. I want to have it half way done before I repost it.
This story will be more based off the games with some things from the anime [like Misty and Brock following]. This story will be written as a journal. I hope you don't mind it written like this.
Now that that's over, on with the story!
Journey Journal Entry One; Day Zero, 10:40 PM
My name is Ash Ketchum. I'm ten years old. I'm a boy. I hear people say I'm careless, rude and naïve. I don't know if this is true. I live in a small town name Pallet Town with my mom Delia and her Pokémon. One thing you might not know of me is that I am the son [and only child] of a famous Pokémon Trainer named Red.
I'm not surprise if you didn't know. He left my mom when I was young and my memory of him is fuzzy at best. The worst part is he never calls or sends mail to tell us how his life is. We have to find out in magazines, the news and watching the Pokémon League. And even then he doesn't mention us!
Here's the thing; everyone in town, who knows of my heritage, expects me to be like him, a great and respected Pokémon Trainer. The problem is I hate Pokémon! Yeah, my mom's Pokémon are great but I don't want to go on a journey and leave her like he did.
My mom wants me to have a Pokémon to take care of. Yeah, ok, I could understand that, sort of. I'll have to know how to care for a Pokémon if I want to run the family restaurant one day. That's my dream; to be the best chef there ever was. Who need Pokémon Battles and interviews? I sure don't. If I just have my mom than I'm happy.
I should get to bed. Tomorrow Professor Oak is planning on giving me one of his Pokémon to raise. Whoop-de-doo. I'll tell you one thing; I am NOT looking forward to tomorrow.
Ask Ketchum of Pallet Town
Sorry for the short chapter. The next one will be longer... and more like the game. If there are any questions please feel free to ask. Until next time, BYE!
