The sun was setting. It had just dipped below the western horizon as a small sailboat, framed by the azure sea and scarlet sky, came into view. On the boat was Ash Ketchum, legendary Pokemon Master, who acquired his title four years ago, making him the youngest Pokemon Master at the age of thirteen. His look, even through the time of aging and (yes, of course) puberty, stayed pretty much the same as when he was younger. But he was without a doubt taller now and much more muscular. In fact, his body was so well built that girls actually get attracted to his physical properties now, leaving a much-desperate Brock look down in despair. With him were a couple of his best friends, Pikachu and Brock Slate. Brock visibly grew older compared to his teen years. But other than that, he looked about the same. Pikachu was still as energetic as ever. Well, maybe except for that day. He was lying down, chugging down a bottle of ketchup.
The group had been sailing for about three days now, heading to Cerulean City in Kanto from the Hoenn region. Ash moved to New Bark Town when he became Pokemon Master since the office was in the Hoenn region. He comes back to Pallet Town at this time for a three-week vacation every year to visit old friends and family. But who knew that this year would come with many problems as well?
Ash gazed over the horizon and saw something he hasn't seen for three days. "Brock, I think I see land!" Ash yelled in excitement.
"Really?" Brock got up from his seat and quickly walked over to where Ash was standing.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure its land," Ash said, "In fact, I think that's Cerulean. Yeah, it is!" Ash jumped up and down in glee, accidentally knocking over Pikachu's chair. Pikachu fell over and dropped the bottle of ketchup, which started to spill out. Pikachu started to cry and tried to lick the ketchup off the floor. Ash couldn't have cared less. He picked up Pikachu, swung him around in a full circle, and hugged him.
"Aren't you happy, Pikachu? We're almost at Cerulean City! We'll see Misty!" Pikachu instantly forgot about the ketchup "crisis" at the sound of Misty's name.
"Pika!"
Brock laughed, and said, "I bet she'll be waiting for us at the dock too."
"Yeah, Ash said, "knowing her, she probably is."
The sun was setting. Red, orange, and yellow rays shone onto the buildings of Cerulean City. At the docks is a red-haired girl with a Togepi cradled snugly in her arms. Her name is Misty Waterflower. She is currently the gym leader of Cerulean City. Her sisters, Lily, Daisy, and Violet, have all gone off somewhere else. Of the original trio (Ash, Brock, Misty), she changed the most. Whoever had called her a scrawny runt is dead wrong now. Her hair fell down to her shoulders and her body developed into a beautiful figure with full and sexy curves. One would be very surprised to learn that she is still single. She was waiting for the arrival of her friends, Ash, Brock, and Pikachu, who are coming from New Bark Town. Soon, she saw a sailboat and recognized it: it's Ash's. "Hey, Togepi, look," Misty said lightly to Togepi.
"Toge?" Togepi looked up towards the sea.
Misty pointed towards the sailboat. "You see that boat? It's Ash's. Our friends are in there."
"Priii!" Togepi said happily.
The boat started to approach the docks. "Hey, Misty!" Ash shouted across the distance that separated them from Misty.
"Hey!" Misty responded. "Dock over here!" Brock moved the sailboat towards the area Misty pointed at and docked there. Ash jumped off, ran to Misty, and hugged her.
"Hey, it's been so long," Ash said.
"Of course, silly. It's been a whole year. What do you think?" Misty slightly teased.
"Yeah, hehe..." Ash put his hand behind his head. Brock finally got off and hugged Misty as well.
"Hey Brock. How was your trip in the Hoenn?"
"It was good. Ash got us lost a few times again, but otherwise, it was fine," Brock replied.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault! The GPS screwed up!" Ash retorted.
"Yeah, sure. Whatever," Brock waved his hand over it.
"Hey, you guys got a place to stay?" Misty asked.
"Well, actually, we were planning on heading straight to Pallet Town, and if we can't make it, at least to Pewter and stay at Brock's place." Ash responded.
"Well, the sun already set, so why don't you guys stay over at my gym for the night and we can all head over tomorrow?" Misty asked.
"Sure! That'd be great! Thanks!" Both Ash and Brock said in unison. Misty giggled, and said, "Well, lets get going then. It's getting dark."
And so our heroes are off to Misty's gym.
A/N: So, wat do you guys think? I admit, it's a lil boring this chap, but it gets the facts straight for my story. I promise the next chapters are much much better. Plz review, plz. It would mean alot to me, since this is my first fanfic... Thanx for reading.
