Introduction- PLEASE READ STORY INTRO BEFORE READING. THANKS

About Author – Not much, just a 15 year old, and a huge fan of Pokémon and more particularly the kanto-jhoto portion. Naturally Asha and Misty are my Fav. Pair

About story- It's my remix version of Pokémon. I did introduced a new character, Andrew, Regarding the backdrop/setting, please note-

-I will be mixing all well-known regions, the Pokémon, characters etc. won't be limited to a region like kanto or jhoto. E.g. - Ash may see a piplup or such (while these Pokémon are found in sinnoh)

-Please, just for goodness sake, assume that-

a. Ash won Indigo league by winning 8 JHOTO badges, meaning he yet HAS TO COME ACROSS THE FACT THAT MISTY/BROCK ARE GYM LEADERS.

b. He did travelled with Misty and Brock (still not knowing they are gym leaders. Just please assume itJ)

- Main Characters I will be focussing on-

1. Ash- Ofc. Main protagonist, but unlike the series, he's not the only one. Andrew will be his -15

2. Misty – I simply LOVE AAML ^*^. She is my FAVOURITE! Age-15

3. Dawn – Yup, Dawn will be there for the journey JAge-14

4. Andrew – His character will be revealed as story progresses. Basically he cares for Pokémon like ashJ. (It's my own addition to story, it was not in Pokémon show, AFAIK. And he is NOT Drew of Hoenn. I just couldn't get a better name :S) Age-15 (Or 15.5 if you want)

Brocks character…well, I think four people are enough. Also I cannot find much significant dialogues or actions by him. It's up to YOU PEOPLE TO DECIDE. If I get reviews (before chapter 3 or 4) that he should be in journey, I will try my best to fit him in J

-PLEASE PLEASE PLASE GIVE REVIEWS J A word of encouragement goes very well :)

Oh and well, I do not own Pokémon, had I owned, Misty would be back (with Ash-Misty a couple: S)

Chapter -1 – A New Beginning

It was a silent morning as sun rose over Pallet Town. Ash was still in bed, and was drooling over the pillow with a gaped mouth when, while his poor yellow companion tried to wake him up. Pikachu shook his arm

THUD!

Ash flew his arm right on Pikachu throwing him on the floor. Pikachu climbed up the bed, with sparks on anger on his cheek.

"Piiii…Kaaaaaa..CHUUUUU," he exclaimed as he thunder shocked Ash.

"AAAAAAH", exclaimed Ash, now covered with dust and soot.

"What was that for?" he asked, to which the yellow mouse just turned his head,"Hmph, Pikaa," The conversation appeared to be over from Pikachu's side.

"Thanks a lot" grumbled Ash sarcastically as he got up from his bed.

It had been only a few days since he is back home, but he seemed to be missing things, like Brocks cooking. That battling with random strangers, thrill of a badge victory, the intense pressure of league, and how he couldn't sleep that night. Night….It reminded him of those night at camping in forest….Oh and by forest, he was reminded how misty would be so frightened by an innocent looking Caterpie or Weedle. And later not ready to admitting her weakness they would end up having a hush of arguments until brock quieted them up. She would often challenge him to a Pokémon battle and he must admit, no matter what, that she did made him cringe and gave him a tough match. And how she would pop out Togepi against Pikachu and win the match because the mouse just couldn't hurt togepi. Ash gave Pikachu a smirk, which confused it.

Those were the days. He thought, suddenly realizing that more than half of his thoughts were related to Misty. He blushed a bit, and let out a sigh.

Well, but now he was home, no more adventure, and what's worse, his mother was worse than a slave driver. He was missing the good old days-

"CHUUUUU…" Pikachu sent another thunder-wave on seeing Ash not moving at all. The mouse crawled up a suspicion that his master learned to sleep with eyes open, like his old friend Psyduck.

At the moment, Ash just grumbled something and gave Pikachu a I will get back at you look while the little mouse just jumped off the bed very coolly.

"Pika Pikachu" the mouse advised Ash before walking of coolly.

After getting ready, and eating a "normal" breakfast of 3 plates of pancakes, he went for a walk.

"Hey buddy! Missing the old action?" he asked to Pikachu who was sitting on his shoulder.

"Pika..CHU" Pikachu agreed.

"Yeah buddy, I just miss that time. Want to go out for a walk at forest?" He smiled and went on as Pikachu nodded.

...

(Scene Change- At Cerculean Gym)

"I am going for fishing Daisy" Misty said as she got in her shoes and took her fishing rod.

"I do..like.. wonder, what fun does it bring?" Asked Lily in a very matter of fact way.

"It's like, a waste of time. I could get myself a beauty sleep till then" Violet said yawning.

"Well, for your info, it wouldn't be a waste of time if you WOULD BE LOOKING AFTER THE GYM, instead of your stupid D-Grade face" Misty retorted and smiled as she passed out the last sentence.

"You'll sure regret that SIS!"Violet jumped but was waved off by Daisy who just now entered, "Well well, I really don't want any fuss in morning." She exclaimed, bored. Her eyes went to Misty's fishing rod. "Don't tell me that you're going to get us more MAGIKARPS."

"I DON'T GET US MAGIKARPS!" she yelled but mellowed down as she say Daisy's evil smirk,"Ok…but not ALWAYS" she shouted. "Besides, it lets me get some good Pokémon sometimes." She exclaimed, having an air of importance.

"Yeah, and even those wild Magikarps will beat your "good" Pokémon Mist-"Violet stopped mid remark when she saw Misty's furious glare, and more importantly, a mallet in her hands. "They will beat them I think, like, when they evolve to Gyradous..Haha?" She laughed nervously as a sweat drop came on her face. Suddenly a voice came up-

"Hey Misty! Glad to catch up to you so soon," the voice came from her back and Misty saw it was Dawn.

"Hi Dawn," Misty remarked as she smiled.

"Today I will get a good sketch of any Pokemon you catch," she exclaimed with excitement "And perhaps you will teach me how you fish all those good water Pokémon, like your Gyradous" Dawn said with starry eyes

"Lol, you do not need drawing. I can give you a picture of Magikarps already as that's what she ALWAYS gets, besides that Gyradous was also a Magikarps she caug-"Lily was interrupted in her mid-speech has earned herself a violent smash of Misty's famous mallet .

Note to myself, "Sensational Sisters Rule #1 Never,NEVER anger misty whenshe has a mallet with her." Violet thought to herself as she saw Misty in her action.

"Can I see your sketch book?" Misty asked as she grabbed Dawn's sketchbook. Perhaps she hoped that she would show her sisters some variety of Pokemon she catches.

Day 1. Here's what we caught. Misty saw a picture of Big, RED MAGIKARP that she caught after 4 hours of fishing. She flipped on nervously. Day 2- Another Magikarp. Day -3 MOAR MAGIKARPS! Day 4- Wow, Again a magikarp…. Misty bubbled in anger "DO YOU ONLY KNOW HOW TO DRAW A MAGIKARP!" She glared.

"But I only drew what you caught" Dawn exclaimed with a nervous face. "Besides…haha (laughs nervously)…yeah you do have a point. I can draw these Magikarps really good!"

"Thank Misty for tha-"Lily stopped as she saw Misty's red beaming eyes coming towards her. She gulped hesitantly.

"But hey! Perhaps today we could draw a big nice Gyradous! Who knows?" she tried to cheer Misty up.

"Hmph, but still you can draw only a Magikarp for her "Daisy remarked teasingly

"I am OFF" said Misty pissed as usual, as she slammed her feet to the ground.

"Well, perhaps we went a bit…like..overboard?" Daisy remarked.

...

Scene change- Back to Ash.

Ash trailed off the forest. He was getting BORED. It's not walking that suits him anyways.

"Gah, I don't know how I managed to walk that much n my last journey" he complained, and putting a hand on his stomach, "Besides, I am already hungry." He exclaimed.

Pikachu let out a sigh and shrugged his shoulders. Suddenly his eyes locked on another person wearing a cap and walking by, presumable looking like a Pokémon trainer.

"WAIT! Hey just Wait!" Ash exclaimed as he ran to him waving his shoulders. The trainer looked surprised, and waited for Ash to speak. "I challenge you!" Ash said pointing his fingers at him.

"Challenge? What challenge?" He asked looking oblivious.

"To a Pokemon Battle of course!" Ash answered impatiently, almost jumping with excitement.

"Oh well….There's a little Problem." The trainer hesitantly went on saying "I ..umh…actually…have no Pokémon. Hahah" He nervously said.

Ash sighed. "Well…." He kicked a stone.

"Ralt-Ralt" a cry came from behind and they turned to see an injured Ralts. The trainer immediately turned to it, running in its direction. "Oh no! What caused it to be injured so much…" he said as he took out a potion from his bag.

"Just have some faith on me buddy" he said as the wild Pokémon looked at him. It was a small Ralts, with lots of bruises and dust on his body. It's rare, that Ralts would normally show up, until they're separated from the group.

Ash took out his Pokedex, Ralts. An emotional psychic Pokemon, Ralts uses the horns on its head to read people and Pokémon's emotions. It is known to inhabit urban areas, but it does not normally show itself to humans. It takes cover if it senses hostility.

A sound from bushes caught their attention as an angry spearow emerged and made its way to attack Ralts. The trainer threw a stone and tried to shoo it away but it only got angry and made its way towards him.

"Pikachu! Thundershock!" Ash said as he pointed out at spearow.

"PikaaaCHuuuuuu" it exclaimed as it let out a sharp thundershock and jolted the bird. This drove the spearow away.

"Thanks a lot, I owe you one" the trainer said looking at Ash for a moment but immediately turned his attention to ralts.

"My names Ash." Said Ash forwarding his hand for a hand-shake.

"Its Andrew here" the trainer smiled, shaking hands once finished giving the medicine to Ralts. But their little 'meeting' was disturbed as they heard a loud screeching void of some very very angry pokemons.

"FEAROWWWWW". They gasped in surprise as five giant Fearows emerged to the sky circling around them. There were probably more behind…...And they were very unhappy that a member of their flock has been deprived of its prey.

"We cannot handle so many at once." Ash said. He had left out his Pokémon at Professor Oak's Lab and Pikachu cannot match so many Fearows alone.

"But it can't run…" Andrew said," It's hurt." But the situation demanded an action.

"We cannot possible fight them…" Ash exclaimed as Pikachu thundershocked a Fearow on its own in an attempt to buy his master some time, but the fearows only got angrier.

"Then there is only one thing to do…" said Andrew reaching for his pockets.

"Go, Pokeball!" he said as he threw a pokeball on ralts, the Pokémon quickly submitting in due to its injured sate.

"Run!" Andrew exclaimed as he dodged one of the Fearow's Drill Peck which cause his peck to be buried a bit in ground, raising dust. Ash and Andrew ran straight, trying to run between the trees so that Fearows cannot see them from above.

"Can you see them now?" ash said looking up in sky. "Perhaps we are getting away" he said panting.

"No I canno-"Andrew was saying when suddenly he and Ash tripped down a cliff. They should had been careful. The noise attracted the Fearows attention and they started flying off there.

Ash tried to get up, rubbing his head. He looked ahead, and gasped in horror. A River!

Now they were just beside a swift flowing river ahead, and a flock of Fearows behind. Running was useless.

"Urghhh….I wish I had brought my Pokémon from Oak" Ash grumbled. Pikachu jumped and used thundershock, but they Fearows were only getting angrier. Ash caught Pikachu as he saw a Fearow sneaking up on hum but his eyes gaped wide as he said another Fearow coming towards him in attempt to use 'Drill Peck'.

"Have faith!" was what he heard as he felt a jerk in his arm before a feeling of being washed away.
