This is my first fanfic, so try not to crush my soul too much. Would any feedback, and hope you enjoy.

Ash lazily rolled over to glance at the alarm clock, and fell back to his pillow. Realising the time suddenly he sat up quickly and struggled out of bed to fall to the floor. He was over an hour late to orientation, and may have lost his chance to get his very own Pokémon. Without a moment to think, he pulled on some trainers and rushed out the door.

Ash then headed straight for Professor Oaks lab, which luckily was only a few minutes' walk from Ash' dorm. But Ash sprinted across campus, stumbling and bumping into people on his way.

Sooner than expected, the professor's lab came into view, which had a small crowd near the entrance. Without giving them a second glance, Ash crashed into the entrance and fell onto the hard floor.

Professor Oak, startled by the loud noise, dropped his clipboard. His eyes shot towards the door to find a young boy, with raven coloured hair untidily spiked, struggling to stand. He appeared to still be in his pyjamas, a green and yellow matching pair of shorts and a top. He also wore a pair of trainers without socks. Once standing he grasped for air, and chocolate brown eyes looked longingly to Professor Oak. The older gentlemen couldn't help but laugh at the boy, it wasn't often he'd see a sight like this in his line of work.

'I'm here!' Ash struggled for air as he spoke to the aging grey haired man in lab coat. 'I'm ready… to get… my first… Pokémon!'

'You look like you're ready for bed,' said the professor humorously. 'Mr Ketchum I presume? You're running a little late,' he raised his eyebrow at the boy.

Ash managed to catch his breath, 'I'm so sorry, I over slept. But I'm ready to begin my Pokémon education!' Fully realising what the professor had said, Ash looked down embarrassed by his pyjamas that his mum had brought him when he left for University. 'I didn't think to change…' he smiled and rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly.

'But I'm still ready! I'm ready to receive my first Pokémon professor. And I've decided I want the Pokémon…'

'I'm afraid you're too late Mr Ketchum, all the Pokémon have been taken, some people even got two when everyone was done picking.'

'Wait, what?' Ash moaned, 'they can't be all gone?' I can't believe I've missed my chance; his head sunk down in shame, and stared at the floor. It had been his dream for all his life to become a Pokemon master, and all because of staying up out of excitement he'd been too late.

'I'm afraid so, I only have one Pokémon left in the lab that's being little difficult…'

Ash's head snapped up, 'so you do have one left? I'll take it!' he said excitedly, clenching his fists to his chest. 'I'll take it Professor!'

'Ash, I don't think you understand. This Pokémon has been aggressive to trainers, that's why it wasn't selected'

'I don't care! Professor, I gotta' have a Pokémon to start my Pokémon education! No matter how it acts, I'll train it, no problem!' Ash winked, and raised his hand doing a peace sign to professor Oak.

'hmm' said the Professor, pondering whether or not this was a good idea. 'Fine, but Ash, don't say didn't warn you…' Professor oak reach for the small red and white orb, and released a red glow around the room.

Ash stared eagerly to see what his first Pokémon would be, until the red glow quickly turned yellow. Suddenly Ash felt a shock of electricity flowing through his body causing intense pain, forcing him to yell out. When the shock ended, Ash was able to see the small yellow rodent Pokémon on the floor looking up at him.

Forgetting the first initial shock out of excitement, Ash leaned down and stocked the little mouse Pokémon between the ears with a massive grin on his face. 'Awesome! A Pikachu!' The grin from his face soon disappeared from another surge of electricity.

'I said she was difficult…' said professor Oak with a small smile. The professor turned and grabbed something from his table. 'You may find these a little useful…'

Hope you enjoyed, introduction of other characters, such as Gary, Mist and Brock would come in other chapters
