Pokémon Regeneration
Chapter 1: The Beginning
A long time ago, deep in a city called Kanto, lived a young boy named Ash Ketchum. He grew up a happy boy. One day he was invited over to the professor's house. The professor told him of creatures called pokémon. He showed Ash the pokémon he caught just a week ago, and gave it to him. The name of this pokémon was Pikachu.
There was one condition that Ash must find as many other pokémon as he could. The next day Ash started to pack while telling his mom bye. "Ash I love you, and take care of yourself", said mom.
The young lad, along with his Pikachu headed out for a great journey.
There was one problem Pikachu didn't seem to like Ash. Every time Ketchum would try to play with Pikachu, he would get shocked by Pikachu's powerful thunderbolt. "Pikachu please stop!" screamed Ash. Ash starts to feel discouraged. The following week nothing has changed.
Then one morning Ash awakens from a deep sleep to find storm clouds in the sky. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree! A huge limb fell and tumbled on Ash. Pikachu looks on in whoa. Pikachu thinking fast ran, and found a young man near the area. Pikachu led him to the location. The guy helped Ash get out from under the limb. "Are you ok dude?" asked the stranger. Ash replied, "Yes. I think I bruised myself." The young man said, "I'm Brock, what's your name?" Ash answered "my name is Ash, and this is Pikachu."
Over the next few days the two young men got to know one another, and Pikachu began to like Ash. "You know Ash, I'm a trainer too. Why don't we have a battle so that you can get some practice?" Ash happily accepted the offer. "Pikachu, are you ready?" asked Ash. "Wait!" a lady's voice screamed in the distance. "This is not the place for a battle." The boys looked on in suspense. "Excuse me, I'm Misty" said the girl. Brock asked, "what do you mean this isn't the place?" "You can't battle out here in the thin woods. It's too dangerous!" "She's right Ash" said Brock in a disappointed tone. Ash replied, "I guess so." Ash and Brock introduced themselves, and they became good friends from then on.
Over the next few years Ash caught more pokémon, met new people, and grew stronger with his Pikachu. New friends joined their party as they went from town to town. Dawn, May, Iris, Lyra, and they all became good friends. Ash has now beaten all gym leaders with the help of his friends and pokémon by his side. Now this is where the journey begins.
