Ash Ketchum started his pokemon journey when he was ten years old he has been all around the world battling and competing in pokemon leagues in different regions. Now he is eighteen and feels him and his strongest pokemon are ready to take on the champion. So Ash is on his way back to Pallet town to prepare his pokemon for the up coming challenge. Grrrr!

"Ha-ha I guess its time for lunch huh Pikachu?" Ash said holding his stomach

"Pika" said the small yellow mouse while nodding

"Hey, look over there Pikachu a nice river to have lunch by!" Ash exclaimed while pointing to the river just a little ways off the path.

Ash and Pikachu ran over to the river and sat in the shade of a tree towering over them. The grass was cool and soft. Ash closed his eyes while taking a deep breath taking in the fresh air with the sweet scent of the flower and the water relaxing him. As he took out a couple apples he handed one to the little yellow pokemon.

"Here Pikachu eat up."

"Pika Pikachu" purred Pikachu as he took the apple from his trainer.

Soon after they finished Ash laid down with the Pikachu cuddled up to him as they slowly drifted to sleep.

It had been years since Misty had seen her old friend, and when Delilah called her and told her about the homecoming party that she was going to have for Ash she got ecstatic. She began her journey to Pallet. Misty was no longer a gym leader but a member of the elite four. She loved it she could travel and still take care of her duties. As apposed to being a gym leader which is ok for some people just not her. As the red head girl approached Pallet town she remembered a fishing spot that would be great to rest at for a moment. She walked over to see none other than Ash Ketchum and Pikachu asleep in the shade of a tree she grinned and walked over leaned over the boy.

"Ash, Ash is that you wake up."

His eyes started to flutter open. All he saw was someone in his face screaming he jumped up smacking heads the person. Both trainers rubbed their forehead wincing at the pain. "What the heck, who are you and why were u…." he drifted off as he realized that he knew the red head.

"M-Misty?" he stuttered as he looked over the girl "is that you?"

"Of course it's me you idiot!" she screamed while giving her famous terrorizing glare.

"That hurt why on earth would you freak out like that?" still yelling at him knowing that this was mainly her fault she was not going to admit that she did not think through his reaction to her leaning over him.

"Sorry I didn't know it was you and you shouldn't have been leaning over me in the first place!" he argued back.

She just glared at him. Pikachu who was just watching the two fighting like old times finally ran up to Misty and jumped in her lap.

To end the fight Ash quickly asked "what are you even doing all the way out here anyway I thought you had to stay and watch the gym in cerulean?"

"First of all I'm not the gym leader at cerulean anymore; second I was on my way to pallet town to see you sorry for trying to visit you!"

"I didn't mean it like that Misty and w-Wait you're not a gym leader!"

"Nope, you're looking at one of the newest members of the elite four"

Ash's eyes bulged "yo-your and elite four!" he couldn't believe how he missed such a big change it made him wonder what else had changed. "That's great Misty!"

"That you really are one of the best trainers!"

"Yeah I guess so."

A sly grin soon appeared on Ash's face "So do you think you would let me have the honor in battling you sometime?"

Misty knowing her friend all too laughed knowing that he would ask "Sure who knows maybe I can help you train for your match with Lance."

"What makes you think I need your help to beat Lance?"

"Uhh, don't start with me Ash Ketchum!"

"Ha-ha only joking but I still can beat lance my way"

"Fine, anyway we should get going"

9 years later

"Mom when is daddy gonna get here" said the little black haired boy

"Soon sweetie." said the woman holding a young child.

'Knock, knock 'knock' "Aden can you get the door please!"

"Sure mommy!" yelled the boy as he ran to answer the door. He turned the knob and smiled as he saw who it was. "Lance! Trent!" Aden yelled as his mother walked in still holding the baby girl.

"Hey, Happy birthday kid"

"Happy birthday Aden!"

"Thanks Lance! Thanks Trent!"

Changing his attention to the woman and her baby Lance patted the boy on the head. "Hey Misty"

"Hi Lance." "How have you been?"

"Good and you?"

"Busy."

"Ha-ha I bet look how big this little cuties getting"

"Yeah Miss Laken is already a year old"

"Well your growing up on us haha, oh! Hey is ash still not here?"

"No he should be getting here soon"

"Is anyone else here yet?"

"Yeah, Gary and Crystal are here with Greyson and Lexie, Brock and Holly and their daughters Bailey and Haley, Tracey, Casey is here as well with their daughter Kim and of course Delilah is here."

"Wow! So I guess we are waiting on Ash then."

"Trent come on lets go play with the others!"

"Ok"

The two young boys ran off to play with the other kids laughing.

After a while of playing they heard something.

"Knock, Knock."

"Daddy!"

"Hey there Kiddo" said the tall man as he ruffed up the boys hair. He then leaned over and kissed his wife and daughter.

"Man Have I missed my girls, and you I brought you a special birthday surprise."

"Really let me see let me see"

"Haha chill you got to go wait in the other room with others while I talk to your mother."

"Ok!" Cheered the boy as he dashed to the other room.

"So what is this special surprise?"

"It the thing I told you about over the phone"

"Oh, you sure he is ready for that?"

"Of course he is a Ketchum after all"

"Well you better give it too him before he explodes."

The man reached in his bag grabbing the gift and hid it behind his back. When he walked in he was greeted by his many friends. After saying hi to everyone he finally told his son to sit down.

"Now son this present takes a lot of work you have to promise me you will try your hardest to take care of it."

"Of course daddy I promise"

The man then handed the boy a glass container witch contained a small green egg with red dots on it. As the boy took it from his father the other children awed at it will jealousy and amazement.

"Wow my own pokemon egg!" "What kind of pokemon is inside daddy?"

"You'll have to wait and see."

And so the adventure begins.
