Time-2:00 AM

It was a peaceful night in petulburg city. Everybody was sleeping and having sweet dreams, except a 18 year old boy, currently sleeping on the couch trying to keep himself warm with his blanket.

The boy was staying at May's house with his little yellow companion and best friend, who was also sleeping peacefully beside him dreaming about ketchup. The boy's name was Ash ketchum (soon to become Pokemon master, according to him). But looks like the pokemon master was not that lucky with his dream.

Ash's Dream….

Everything was white except a beam of darkness descending upon him. He shuddered at the thought of being hit by a night shade. when he focused on the darkness he felt a little dizzy but didn't stop staring at it. Breaking out of his trance, He looked around for his Pikachu and checked his belt for other Pokemon, but then realized he left them at the pokemon center. The darkness started enveloping him and everything seemed like a blur. Then he saw something bright coming or rather walking towards him.

But then he realized that it wasn't something but it was someone. "Who are you? " The boy demanded with a look of seriousness and a tinge of fear in his face.

But he didn't get an answer. The person was wearing a light dark blue vest under a black trench coat with two official pokemon league symbol on each side of his shirt. He was wearing a black jeans and black leather boots. His hair was black and unkempt and also long enough to cover his eyes. His hands were in his his pocket and he was walking towards Ash with an air of authority around him.

"Where am i and where are all my friends." He asked, with an angry tone.

The person approached him. There was a minute of silence and tension between the two, before he spoke, in a monotonous voice "Ash, I need your help."

" What help? How do you know my name, What is this place, and where is everyone?" Ash demanded, before finally calming down. " Ash every one is here, You will just see them later. I need your help Ash. It's urgent" The person said with no expression on his face.

"Why do you need me and for what?" Ash asked with a hint of fear in his voice. " Team rocket, Ash, Team rocket that's all I can tell, be prepared Ash, they are coming for you, you have to protect your loved ones. We will meet again, prepare yourself and your pokemon because a fierce battle is about to begin. " The person said and disappeared.

Back to reality...

Suddenly Ash felt ticklish, then the feeling grew into a tinge of pain, then he heard something that he didn't want to hear, "CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU".

"aaaaaaaaah Pikachu what are you doing" Ash hissed in pain. ''PIKA CHU PI(YOU KICKED ME)''. Pikachu said with a look of anger on his face.

May Maple a 17 year old girl was sleeping peacefully in her bed dreaming about a certain pokemon trainer. Until she heard a earsplitting scream coming from downstairs and, hell the shouting was so much that even a snorlax would wake up. May growned and buried her face deep in her pillow but still couldn't bear the noise. She stood, frowning because of how cold her feet felt but nonetheless went downstairs to check what all the noise was about.

"What do you mean i took your ketchup, there is nothing like ketchup here." Ash said trying to calm down his angry Pikachu. "PIKA PI PIKA PIKA CHUU (IT WAS IN MY DREAM AND YOU DESTROYED IT)" Pikachu said, again cheeks sparking and about to shock Ash for the second time.

"Pikachu please, calm down it was just a mistake buddy. Ketchup isn't that important as sleep so lets go back to sleep." Ash said with a pleading look. "Pika pi Pika Chu pi Pika ( what if I wake you when you are dreaming about May)."Pikachu said.

"C'mon Pikachu ketchup isn't your love,and what does May have to do with all of this?." Ash said with a confused look.

"Pika pikapi ka Chu Pika Chu Pika Pika (Cmon, accept it, you like her the same way i like ketchups )" Pikachu said with an evil smirk on his face.

"Pikachu, I really like her, but just as friends." Ash said with a blush crossing his face.

May overhearing this conversation felt a little disappointed that Ash doesn't like her more than a friend. She really liked him and fell in love with him because of the care he gives to everyone and how he is ready to sacrifice his life for what is right and put himself in danger for others.

But nonetheless she went down. "Calm down you two, you woke me up and everyone in this house I guess." May said with an amused look. "How much did you you hear, I swear it was Pikachu who ate your food last night. " Ash said scared that she might have heard about the food thing he talked secretly with Pikachu. "Pika pi pi Pikachu (Hey, you were the one who ate it, I was just tasting it )". Pikachu stated in his defence.

"Ugh guys what's all the noise ? " A 14 year old, sleepy looking max asked.

Soon following him came the Petulburg gym leader and his wife followed by a 22 year old pokemon breeder. "its nothing, Ash kicked

Pikachu in his sleep, and you can guess what pikachu did " May told to her brother.

"WOW how cool, I missed seeing Pikachu electrocute Ash, Pikachu please do it again I want to see it." Max exclaimed being excited.

Pikachu smirked and bowed and sparked his cheeks until he heard May say "Pikachu, please don't do it and MAX why do you want to hurt Ash again." May asked her little brother. Max and Pikachu looked down in shame.

They couldn't go to sleep after that, and decided to talk for a while. After their conversations they didn't realize it was nearly 6am.

"C,mon kids enough playing around, I am going to make breakfast." Caroline, May and Max's mother said. "And I am going to help her." Brock added. "Thank you Brock, now kids why don't you go shower." Caroline said.

Because of being a girl May went first, did her morning routine and went to take a shower. After that she put her usual clothes, A orange t shirt, with dark blue biking shorts with a matching orange mini skirt around it followed by orange and black sneakers. Then she brushed her hair tied a green bandana with a Pokeball like symbol on it. Then it was the turn for Max and then Ash and Pikachu.

Max was wearing a Red shirt with blue jeans and red and blue sneakers and a red cap while Ash was wearing a Black body tight T-shirt and light blue baggy jeans with blue and black sneakers followed by his his Red cap with green pokemon league symbol on it.

Ash and Pikachu came down to see everyone at the table except Brock and Caroline. Ash went and sat next to May. May turned to see Ash sitting next to her, their eyes locked and Ash smiled at her and May suddenly looked away, blushing. No one saw it except the gym leader himself. They eat their breakfast silently except, the two eating machines who were eating like it's the last meal of their life.

"You two should slow down its not like food is going anywhere "Caroline suggested to Ash and May.

"I am sorry mom, but the food is too good." May said. "Yeah, with your and Brock's cooking skills mixed, it's marvelous." Ash complemented.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOM"

Suddenly a explosion was heard all over the Petulburg city and everyone rushed out of their home to see what's going on. Ash and other came out of the gym too.

"That came from Petulburg museum, i think." Norman exclaimed and ran in the direction of explosion.

"Come on, let's have a look." Ash said while running after Norman. The others followed his suit too.

Reaching upon the explosion site they saw that Petulburg museum was on fire while there was a big hole in the wall through which some rocket members in black uniform were running. They were carrying a big dark pearl.

"HEY STOP!" Ash shouted. The Rocket grunts look behind, and one of them send out his zoobat.

"Zoobat, use supersonic to buy us some time" Rocket grunt ordered his zoobat, and Zoobat started producing a high ear piercing screech, which caused everyone to drop on the floor from the pain.

After the zoobat and rocket grunts had gone, Ash stood up followed by others still shaking from the pain.

"What did they took this time, can't those rockets learn to give up already, by the way Norman, do you know what was that black pearl thingy?" Ash asked.

Norman stood their without speaking a word, the expression of utter fear was completely seen on Norman's face. "Dad, Are you okay?" May asked waving her hand in front of her father.

Norman snapped back to reality. " We have to hurry, this is serious, I need to tell every member of Elite four and gym leaders that dark griseous orb has been stolen from the Museum." He said and ran in the direction of Pokemon center.

"Dark griseous orb?" May asked. " Hey, i have heard about it, legend has it that a counterpart of Giratina exist which uses dark griseous orb to obtain power and change form, but i don't know, why rockets are behind it?" Max said adjusting his glasses.

"Maybe because of the fact, Dark Giratina is pure evil and no one in centuries have actually seen him." Brock said with a look that suggested something bad was about to happen.

Everyone was silent for few minutes, registering what just happened and what Max and Brock said.

"Lets get back to home, children. I know Norman will handle it, we didn't dined properly. Brock, Max and May started walking towards the gym but Ash stood their wondering if it had any connection with his dream.

So guys, that's it. I am already working on chapter 2 so you won't have to wait much for the next update. And Don't forget to Review.
