In a land where Pokemon trainers and coordinators are in a constant disagreement with each other, two would show that such a feud is pointless.

__________________________________________________________________

It was nice day in the little town of Pallet, perfect for a party. Ash had just won the title of Jhoto Champion. Ash saw most of his friends he meet on his journey, including Gary.

Ash's POV

"This is great an all but…" Ash though. "I wonder what the Hoenn region is like" He continued to wonder, until he heard some familiar voices start to announce there motto.

"Prepare-" a woman started before being cutoff with ash nonchalantly commanding Pikachu, his electric mouse and best friend, to thunderbolt the group.

Ash watched the three fly off, like usual, and now he had an even greater want for something new.

After the party was over, it was getting dark and Ash's friends had decided to stay at his house. When they were all in the living room Ash decided it was time to tell them his plans. "Misty, Brock, I've decided to go to the Hoenn region and continue my journey."

"Here we go again. How long are you gonna keep at this?" Misty asked, sounding quiet bored. "Well this time I'm going to start over" Ash said, which he was rewarded with odd looks.

"What?" Brock asked in confusion. "I'm only going to use only the pokemon I find in Hoenn and Pikachu." "That sounds like a great id-no it doesn't" Brock started before Misty cutoff. Brock an Misty started to get in an argument whether this was a good idea or not. Ash just left silently, knowing they would be at it for a while.

When he left the house he felt the nice breeze Pallet had to offer on this nice summer night. Then he silently mad his way to professor Oaks lab to get some advice. As he entered he noticed Tracey and Gary were talking about something but ignored them. When he saw professor Oak, he asked what he would do when he got there he notice Tracey and Gary talking about something, but he ignored them.

When he got to professor Oak he asked if he knew what the Hoenn region is like. "Well I've heard it's a nice region, and its quite warm and has little to no snow. Of course I've only heard about it through professor Birch." "Who's professor Birch" Ash asked. "He the professor of the Hoenn region. If your still planning to go there I can inform him that you will be there." "Sounds great!" Ash said. "Also I've heard that you wanted to use only Pikachu and the pokemon you catch in Hoenn" Oak continued.

Ash: that's right

Oak: Well, if you want, I can tell Birch to give you a starter Pokemon.

Ash: That would be nice, but I would prefer to catch it in the wild

Oak: alright then. Well you better get going, its getting late and I know you mother would not like her little champion to out very late at night.

Ash: Bye Professor.

With that he left, and when he got home he noticed his friends were asleep. He gave a big but silent yawn and left for his bed.

THE NEXT MORNING 8:24 A.M.

uugh… what time is it Pikachu. ASH BREAKFAST, he heard his mother call. "Man she must have some psychic power or something." he though to himself. He got up to see his friends wide and awake. "So did you tell professor Oak" Brock asked.

"Yeah and he told me he would tell professor Birch to take me to his lab." "Well when are we going" Misty asked. "Tomorrow at noon." Brock told her. The rest of the day was spent getting ready to go and saying some goodbye's.

THE DAY 9:30 A.M.

"C'mon guys we're gonna be late" Ash said. "wait up Ash" Misty told him. Soon they saw the ship. After getting on board they went to there rooms to get settled. "Hey Ash, look at this" Misty said while showing him a little flyer.

Flyer:

Tired of the same old fighting Gyms? Getting eight badges and fighting the leagues again and again?

Whether you're an experienced trainer or a new trainer entirely, you can enjoy a new sensation, Coordinating.

For more details ask a Contest Hall nearest to you.

Ash was in awe at what the flyer had said. "A new sensation? Coordinating?" he thought. "Ash? Ash? Earth to Ash." Misty called out. "Whaa" Ash said coming out of his thoughts. "You were spacing out" Misty told him. "Meh" Ash said. He tried to ignore what had happened and move on, but he felt that he might want to know more about this "Coordinating"

THE NEXT DAY 3:12 P.M. (This story is really moving)

Announcer: Well ladies and gentlemen, we are now arriving at the Hoenn region. We will be stopping near Littleroot town.

(After Exiting the Ship)

"WE'RE FINALLY HERE!" Ash exclaimed. "Well let's head to town and meet professor Birch" Brock said. Thus they went forth to Littleroot town. "Well the name 'Little' root town seems fitting." Misty said. "Except for the professor's lab over there" Ash pointed to a large building. Then Ash ran over to see if the building was the right one. He knocked on the door and waited. Then a man with brown hair and a brown beard appeared at the door.

"Hello you, must be Ash Ketchum." the man said. "Yeah, and your professor Birch?" he asked. "That would be me. C'mon in and we'll talk." "ok" Ash said. As Ash and friends walked in they noticed another girl. Misty and Brock simply took a single glance at her. Ash on the other hand started to stare without noticing.
