A plane had just landed in the region of Kanto, and out of this plane, two people and a Pikachu exited. One of them was a boy about the age of 18 and a girl around the same age as the boy. The boy had raven black hair and had a blue jacket on. The girl was was a bluenette and had a black sleeveless sweater and a pink skirt on. The boy was named Ash Ketchum and the girl was named Dawn Ketchum. Dawn is the adopted sister of Ash. When her mother, Johanna, died of cancer, she had no other family members to go to. Her mother and Delia were good friends so she took Dawn in as one of her own.

"Man that was a great journey, I caught so many new Pokemon." Ash smiled.

"And I won 5 contests!" Dawn cheered.

"And I'm sure mom and Ashley will be proud." Ash smiled.

"When is Ashley coming?"

"I think she's at home by now. Hey let's hurry and find out." Ash said.

"Okay." Dawn cheered.

They were in there way when they heard a person's voice.

"Ash, Dawn, is that you?" A girl asked. When they turned around, they were both happy and surprised. The girl had light brown ponytails and wore a red vest and black shorts. An accessory that gave it away was her red bandana.

"May, hey. It's been a while." Ash said.

"Pika pi cha." Pikachu leapt off of Ash's shoulder and onto May's shoulder.

"I know, I missed you guys." May smiled as she scratched Pikachu's neck.

"We missed you too." Dawn smiled.

The three began to socialize about their journeys. The siblings realized that it was time to go.

"Hey May, want to join us?"

"Sure, I mean the contests are on break so I don't have anyplace I need to be." May smiled.

It was settled. Ash, Pikachu, Dawn, and May headed to Pallet Town. After traveling for about two hours, they found the sign that was familiar to Ash Pikachu, and Dawn.

'Welcome to Pallet Town. Home to the world famous, Professor Samuel a Oak.'

"Hey Pikachu, last one there only gets firsts." Ash teased.

"PI?! Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he jumped off of Ash's shoulder and left a trail of dust as he sprinted towards the house.

"Hey wait up!" Ash said before leaving his own dust trail.

"*sigh* let's walk." Dawn sighed.

Ash ran after Pikachu in hopes of winning. He was stopped however when he heard shouting in his house and Pikachu waving to look into the window. Ash and Pikachu looked inside to see a 22 year old woman who was yelling at Misty, Max, Brock, Delia, Professor Oak, Gary, and Paul.

"Ashley, we're doing what's best." Professor Oak said.

"Bullshit. You're just deciding his future for him." Ashley gritted her teeth.

Ash wanted to know what they were talking about, so he got up and walked inside.

"What's going on?" Ash asked.

"Ash, why don't you and Dawn head to your rooms?" Delia asked.

"No, Ash. You want to hear this. Mom, tell them what you just said." Ashley said angrily.

"*sigh* Ash, your friends and I have talked and we would like you to stop traveling."

Ash felt like Pikachu just thundershocked his heart.

"W-What?" Ash asked.

"Ash, think about it, 6 years with that Pikachu and not only hasn't evolved, it get beaten up by other starter Pokemon. You have won zero leagues, no matter how hard you try. Just stop embarrassing yourself and give up." Max said. May and Dawn walked in when they heard this.

"MAX?! HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?!" May shouted.

"I'm sorry that your secret crush isn't a good trainer." Max shrugged.

May was about to smash Max's head when Ash just looked at them all and said.

"I…hate you." Ash said as he shed a tear and ran out of the house.

"Ash!" May and Dawn shouted as they ran after him.

Ashley was about to walk out, but she turned around and glared at all of them.

"Goodbye, mom. I doubt we'll be speaking to each other any time soon." Ashley glared before running after her younger brother.

"Ash… wait!" Dawn and May shouted as they ran after Ash.

Ash stopped. "Why are you guys following me? I'm a loser."

"Ash…" Dawn placed her hand on Ash. Ashley caught up with them. "You're not a loser."

Ash looked at all three of them. They were all smiling at him.

"We're all with you until the end." May smiled.

"Where will we go?" Dawn asked.

"I have an idea." Ashley said. "Let's go Dragonite!"

Ashley's dragon Pokemon came out.

"Let's go." Ashley said.

The five (including Pikachu) got on. "Dragonite, take us to professor Junipers."

In about 3 hours, they arrived at a certain professor's lab. Ashley walked up and knocked the door.

"Hm? Ashley, you're back so soon?" Professor Juniper asked.

"Professor Juniper… we need some help."

"Come in, come in. Ashley, tell me what happened?"

Ash, May and Dawn waited while Ashley and Professor Juniper talked. In about 15 minutes, professor Juniper entered and hugged Dawn and Ash.

"I'm so sorry for what's happened to you two. Ashley explained everything and I have an idea." Professor Juniper smiled.

"What is it?" Dawn asked.

"Give me your Pokedexs. Ashley, yours too." Professor Juniper said.

The three gave her their Pokedexs and she took them away. After about 10 minutes she returned with the Pokedexs.

"Look at your IDs."

They opened them and were surprised.

"Wait what?!" Ashley asked.

"I was just going to change your names to random names. But I have a better idea, I'm going to adopt the 3 of you and May you can stay too if you wish." Professor Juniper smiled.

"Can you do that?"

"Sure I can, you guys ran away from home and I took you in as my own." Professor Juniper said.

"Thank you, professor Juniper."

"Please, Dawn. Call me mom." Professor Juniper smiled.

"Okay, thank you mom." Dawn smiled.

"Now how about we go have some dinner." Professor Juniper said.

"I'm just gonna head to sleep, I'm a bit tired." Ash said emotionlessly.

"Okay, let me show you the guest room." Professor Juniper said.

The others decided to eat. While they ate, Ashley and professor Juniper talked to each other and May and Dawn spoke.

"So I hate to bring up family, but what will you do about your family, May?"

"I'll just say that I'm on a journey and if they don't believe me I'll just tell them to ask Max." May said.

"Speaking of Max what did he mean about your secret crush?" Dawn grinned.

"What?"

"He said, 'I'm sorry that your secret crush isn't a good trainer'" Dawn said.

"I don't know." May blushed.

'I knew it.' Dawn smirked. "Well, it probably was nothing."

They continued to socialize until…

"Hey, I think it's time for us to head to bed. It's almost 10:00." Professor Juniper said.

The three looked at the time and sure enough it was 9:55 pm.

"Okay, it is getting late. I'm gonna check on Ash and head to sleep." Dawn said.

Dawn got up and went to Ash's room. When she entered, Ash was not in there and the window was open. She looked outside and saw Ash sitting on the roof and looking at the moon.

"Hey, room for another?" Dawn asked.

"Sure. Spend time with the weak trainer." Ash said.

Dawn got onto the roof and sat down.

"Ash, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm just fine."

"I get that your upset."

Ash shed a tear and began to cry.

"Do you think that they're right? Do you think that I am a weak trainer?" Ash asked.

"No, Ash. None of us do. We are family and families should stick together." She didn't want to say they do because of Delia.

"Really?"

"Yes, Ash."

"*sigh* thanks, sis." Ash said.

"You're welcome, now come on. It's getting cold." Dawn smiled.

Ash and Dawn got down and headed to sleep. Meanwhile, Ashley was watching.

"It's gonna be tough, but I know that you can do it, little bro. And I'm gonna stand beside you every single step of the way." Ashley said quietly.
