So this is my first fan fiction I have ever wrote. It mainly involves Ash and Serena obviously but that doesn't mean that there'll be a few misadventures. Anyway, the beginning is a bit clichéd but I promise to not for make my story a bit like the anime, but instead, use ideas or the main plot and change it a bit. It's not going to be fully original but will have many original elements. I am going to write a few more, starting off with a few small ones but will keep writing this one. As always with all of the other fan fictions, I don't own Pokémon. T just to be safe.

As Ash packed his things, Alexa said, "So what do you think about the trip to Kalos? Do you want to go?"

The Kanto trainer sadly explained, "Well, Cilan and Iris are exploring the Kanto Region and my mom is eager to just have me back. She'll be devastated to find out I'm going to leave again." He sighed as he looked down. "But that won't stop me from being a Pokémon Master! So I accept your offer!"

Alexa was surprised at the trainer's response and smiled while looking forward to the adventures she will have with him. "Okay then, it's settled. We'll start off for Kalos tomorrow!"

"Yes!" exclaimed Ash as he leapt. "Did you hear that Pikachu? We're going to Kalos!"

"Pi Pikachu!" said the Mouse Pokémon.

"Let me just say good-bye to my Pokémon at Professor Oak's Lab, okay Alexa," said Ash excited about his new journey.

"Fine with me, just make sure you come back for dinner and invite Professor Oak!" said Alexa, who tried to be like his mom. To her surprise, Ash already left the building and sped towards Professor Oak's Lab. As Alexa went downstairs, she saw Delia, hard at work on dinner. "Mind if I help Delia?"

"Not a problem Alexa. You go set the table while I cook," Delia said. "From the sounds coming from upstairs, it seemed that Ash accepted your offer."

"Yup, you're right. He was very excited yet also a bit sad to have to face you saying he's going to go away again though."

"I really don't mind though. I just want my son to be happy" Delia explained, hoping to lighten Alexa's guilt in sending Ash away. "Because what matters to me is that my boy becomes a Pokémon Master! No matter what region, someday he'll beat all the trainers in the league and he'll finally accomplish his dream." Alexa was perplexed at Delia's response for being a bit like Ash.

"Say, you were a bit like Ash right now Delia," said Alexa, hoping to see what will spark up.

"Well, your kids are like yourself when you're a parent," said Delia as she smiled at what her Ash has become.

"Wait, that means that you were also was like Ash at his age," said Alexa, pondering at what Delia said.

"Wait, maybe I said the phrase wrong," Delia said. She tried to remember if the quote was real or not.

Both the adults laughed at Delia's mistake. Strangely, it resembled how Ash would act with his friends. They both saw the comparison laughing a bit more, seeing how Ash was in every one of them.

As Ash sped off towards Professor Oak's Lab. He imagined about his adventure in Kalos. To his surprise, he was already at the laboratory and was greeted by his favorite professor.

"Hello there my boy, what brings you here and how's Pikachu?"

"I came here to say good-bye to my Pokémon, and Pikachu's fine."

"Ah yes your Pokémon. Right this way Ash," said Professor Oak, escorting Ash to his collection of Pokémon. "So you're leaving again, right Ash?"

"Yes professor."

"Where to?"

"To Kalos."

"What a wonderful place to visit. I hope you have a good time."

"Thanks professor" agreed Ash, only to find himself with all of his Pokémon happy to see him once again.

"I remember when you visited my corral with Gary and you two fought over who had the most Pokémon. The only reason you had a bunch of Pokémon was because you caught a bunch of Tauros from the Safari Zone. Now look at all the Pokémon you've caught, all from different regions. And I've been studying them," smiled the professor, amazed at what Ash has done.

"I remember that too professor. Those were good times," the raven haired trainer said, petting all of his Pokémon and receiving a big dog pile soon after.

"Oh before I forget, when you get to Kalos, locate the professor and ask for a Kalos upgrade on your Pokédex," said the professor, making sure Ash can collect info on the new Pokémon he'll meet.

"And before I forget, uh, how would you like to eat dinner with us professor?" Ash asked, eager about the invitation despite the fact that all of his Pokémon were on him, barely being able to breathe.

"Snorlax" yawned the Sleeping Pokémon. Apparently, Snorlax wanted to join in the dogpile.

"Ahh! No Snorlax!" yelled Ash, not wanting to become a pancake. "Quick professor! Get Snorlax's Pokéball!"

"Right!" Professor Oak panicked and grabbed Snorlax's Pokéball exclaiming "Snorlax return!" As Snorlax turned into a beam of red light, the Pokéball suctioned up Snorlax's red beam and entrapped him in his Pokéball.

"Good job professor," sighed Ash relieved he wasn't a pancake. "Looks like you are still good with Pokéballs, despite not being a trainer. Plus, Snorlax never showed me this kind of affection before."

"Thank you my boy," Professor Oak said relieved as well.

"And to answer your question, I'll be glad to my boy. Hope you have a wonderful day" Professor Oak said, waving to Ash, along with all of Ash's Pokémon.

"Same to you professor. Bye!" Ash said, waving back to Professor Oak and his Pokémon.

Back at Ash's house, dinner was ready. Delia was ready at the door along with Ash to greet the professor. "Hey there professor, glad you came" they both smiled as they opened the door for him.

"Glad to be here my boy" said Professor Oak, holding a present. "Here, I got you a few more Pokéballs for your next journey."

"Thanks for the present professor" said Ash, excited to use them as soon as he arrives in Kalos. "Let's all sit down and eat because I'm hungry."

And with that, Ash ran to the table and sat down, almost falling out of his chair for jumping. Delia smiled and walked with Professor Oak to the table. There, they all ate together chatting until an awkward silence came upon them. It was Ash, ready to announce his journey to the Kalos region.

"So mom, I, well, want to go to the Kalos region with Alexa to see the new Pokémon over there and to try out for the Pokémon League too. Is that okay with you?" Ash didn't want to see his mother being upset so he looked down, a bit ashamed of leaving his mother every time he came back from his adventures, and was a bit relieved when Pikachu comforted him. To his mother however, she knew this was going to happen and decided to comfort him by answering his question.

"Yes Ash, you have my permission to go the Kalos region" Delia said while holding a little box.

"Really mom?! You mean it?! Thanks!" said Ash, really gaining some momentum in being able to go on his journey.

"Here Ash, a little present from me as well" Delia smiled as she handed Ash a box.

"Wow thanks, it's a new outfit!" Wanting to try it on, he figured he'll do it tomorrow when they leave. The group finished their dinner, and then left the table to go to sleep. Ash and Pikachu however were still awake when everyone fell asleep.

"Can you believe it Pikachu! We're going to Kalos tomorrow and meet new Pokémon and new friends and…" And with that, Ash fell asleep dreaming about his adventures.


The next day, Alexa was in Ash's room, hoping to wake up Ash quickly.

"Ash! Ash!" Alexa literally screamed into Ash's ear, hoping to wake him up.

"What do you want mom? Five more minutes," Ash said, waving his hand.

"Mom! It's Alexa and if you don't wake up we'll miss our flight."

"What do you want mom? Five more minutes," Ash said once again, waving his hand and repeating his actions. Pikachu was awake and awaited an order from Alexa.

"You know what to do Pikachu. Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" said Alexa, eager to see the results.

"Piii Kaaa Chuuu!"

"Yaaahhh!" Ash fell to the ground, burnt like toast. "Hey! What was that for?!" Ash pouted and wanted an answer.

"Well, we're going to be late for our flight if you don't get up and get dressed!" Alexa exclaimed wanting to put some life in the trainer.

The minute Ash heard 'late' and 'flight' made him dash around the room, jumping and hopping while he put on his new outfit.

"Yaaahhh!"

Ash was ready for his adventure, even though some of his garments were a bit unbalanced or slipping off. Dazed by his fall, Alexa decided to get Ash a present of a second Thunderbolt.

"Ready Pikachu? Now!"

"Pika chuuu!"

"Will ah! You eh! Stop ugh." With a thud to the ground, Ash was finally able to finish his sentence. "Doing that ha!" Leaving out a deep breath, Ash didn't want any more doses of electricity.

"Well, stop lagging behind. We're really late now."

"Then let's go right now!"

And in a blink of an eye, Ash ran and quickly made it outside only to be surprised by a somewhat surprise party outside. "Wait Ash, at least eat breakfast or fix yourself up! We still have a bit of time!" Alexa mentally slapped herself for ruining Ash's surprise outside. Pikachu decided to follow Alexa even though he wanted to be with Ash. He thought Alexa was going to eat.

"Is the banner ready guys? We have to finish before Ash gets…"

"Hey mom, what's up?" questioned Ash, ruining his own surprise.

"Hey Ash! Can you get inside the house for like five minutes until we finish? And do it quickly please. Don't disappoint your mother!" said Delia, hoping Ash wouldn't get suspicious.

"Okay mom but Alexa and I have to get to the airport quickly," said the hard-headed trainer unaware of his surprise going away party. And with that, Ash went inside off to eat something before he got really hungry.

"That was incredibly easy. Back to work everyone." Delia was very surprised the surprise is still a surprise.

"Did I ruin the surprise? I didn't think that Ash would dash off like that," said Alexa, panting a bit for trying to catch up with Ash.

"Nope and to my surprise, he didn't even notice." Delia smiled at Alexa to help relieve her that the surprise was still a go.

"Whew. Didn't think Ash was that rock hard," said Alexa a bit confused that the party was right in his face, yet he didn't even notice.

Pikachu was still with Alexa, looking around for Ash, thinking he was outside.

"Pika pi pi pika. Pikachu!"

"What's up Pikachu? Looking for Ash?" inquired Alexa.

"He's inside waiting for a while until we finish" answered Delia.

"Cha!" said Pikachu, knowing where his best friend was.

"You might as well stay with us Pikachu. Going to where Ash is might ruin the surprise," said Alexa, excited about the party.

"Pika!" answered the electric type, eager to stay with the two adults.

Inside the house, Ash was eating breakfast which turned into a buffet. "Boy am I hungry. Hmm, a few sandwiches won't hurt, ooh and a bit of leftovers from yesterday and some cereal. Hey! We still have a bit of pizza." Taking a bite in everything, he got a bottle of ketchup when Pikachu arrived while he enjoyed his 'breakfast'.

"Hey Ash, you can go outside now. Get ready to leave soon," said Alexa. "I'll be waiting here."

"Pika!"

"There you are Pikachu! Want some breakfast before we leave?" questioned Ash worried about his Pokémon.

"Pi!" cried Pikachu nodding his head to show that he agreed with Ash.

"Here ya go! Catch!"

And with a hurl, Ash accidently threw the bottle of ketchup like it was a Pokéball and hit Pikachu. Along with the smack, a yelp of pain from Pikachu was heard.

"Ahh! Sorry buddy, guess I should have just given it to you instead of throwing it," said Ash, sweat dropping at his actions as he tried to pick up Pikachu.

Retaliating and wanting to get revenge at Ash, Pikachu sent out a Thunderbolt to get even with his trainer. Falling down for the third time today, Ash felt like he couldn't get a break from electricity.

"Why me? Why can't I get a break," said Ash, dazed once more.

Pikachu just smiled and laughed at Ash, knowing Ash causes himself his troubles. He decided to grab his bottle of ketchup and started guzzling it down.

"Oh brother." Alexa mentally face palmed herself for Ash's clumsiness. "Come on Ash, get up and let's go."

After getting up, Ash grinned at Pikachu to show he was sorry for what he did. Pikachu already forgave Ash and decided to show it by climbing up his shoulder.

"Thanks buddy, I promise not to do that again."

Pikachu just nodded and nuzzled Ash. Both of them chuckled and Alexa smiled.

One thing about Ash and Pikachu is that no matter what goes between them, they always forgive each other thought Alexa, happy that Pikachu wasn't going to hold a grudge against Ash.

"Oh, can we hurry up? Our flight leaves in 20 minutes," said Alexa wanting to make sure that Ash actually goes outside for his party.

"Coming!"

And off Ash and Pikachu went only to find another surprise for the both of them.

"Surprise! This is your going away party Ash!" yelled Delia who was happy to organize it especially for her son.

"Wow thanks mom. You didn't have to do this. Hey, is this why you made me get inside the house a bit longer?" questioned Ash who never paid much attention to why his mom made him go back in the house.

Before Delia answered her son's question, Ash interrupted her with the astonishment that all of his friends that were currently in Kanto.

"Wow, hey Tracey, Cilan, Iris! How has it been?"

Before Ash's friends even answered, Ash turned around only to see his big brother figure.

"Brock! Is that really you!"

"Yup, how have you been Ash? I've finally finished my training at becoming a Pokémon Doctor. I'm currently working with the Nurse Joy of Pewter City."

Brock turned around with his eyes replaced with hearts. He stopped talking and started to think about Nurse Joy. Eventually, he started drooling only to be jabbed by his Croagunk.

"Well at least I had a bit of time to actually be with Nurse Joy, not in person though." Brock sighed while being dragged by Croagunk and being put on a chair.

Ash was happy his friend didn't change a bit and wondered if he'll travel with Ash again. "Say Brock, will you be traveling with me again? It'll be just like the old days."

Brock looked down, sad to give Ash the news. "Sorry Ash. As Nurse Joy's apprentice, I can't be absent a single work day so for now, I won't be able to travel with you."

"Oh, well that's too bad. It would have been fun."

Delia interrupted the conversation, deciding to start the festivity. "Okay everyone, enough of the bad news. Let's start this party! Let's congratulate Ash on his trip to Kalos."

Everyone agreed about starting the party. Everyone chatted and laughed, being happy and outgoing. Brock remembered a bit of information that Ash could use and decided to tell him.

"Hey Ash, while you were off on your other adventures, I got some information on a new Pokémon Champion of Kanto."

"Really? Who is it?" Ash was excited along with Pikachu to know who it is.

"See, that's the problem. No one really knows. We only know how he looks like. He seems to have an orange cap with a white arch on it along with and orange jacket with a white zipper. He also has navy blue short sleeves attached to the jacket while sporting navy blue gloves and blue pants, along with navy blue shoes with orange stripes. He never said his name and seemed to defeat the Champion with just the three starters of Kanto and three other Pokémon not from this region. One was some sort of grass snake, another was a sea otter, and the last was a fire pig."

"No way! He has a Snivy, Oshawott, and Tepig. Were they evolved or were they at their first stage?!"

"The Kanto starters weren't evolved yet but I'm not sure about the other three. Show me a picture of the other three."

Ash quickly scrolled through the list of Pokémon registered in his Pokédex.

"Here ya go Brock. The Pokémon I was talking about and their evolutions."

"Well it seems that the Pokémon I saw were all unevolved."

"No way! He was able to beat the Champion and the whole Pokémon League of Kanto with just six unevolved starters."

"It seems as though that his Oshawott likes to be out of its Pokéball just like your Pikachu. He's really quite mysterious."

Brock looked back at Ash only to find out that Ash stopped paying attention. Instead, he was imagining a battle with the new Kanto Champion.

"Did you hear that Pikachu! He sounds so strong, I want a battle with him."

"Pika!"

Both of them drooled of just the first scene of their battle in their imaginations, only to be followed with baby-doll eyes, an open mouth, and their arms in an upright position near their chests.

"Hey Ash, it's time to go. For real this time." Alexa smiled when suddenly Brock ran up to Alexa.

"Hello there my maiden, how did I miss you? My name's Brock, what about you?"

Alexa was very much flustered at Brock's diction and blushed.

"How would you like to take a walk with me!"

At that exact moment, Croagunk used Poison Jab on Brock to prevent him from 'over flirting' with Alexa.

Everyone laughed at another one of Brock's romantic fails, with Brock being stabbed by Croagunk. He was then pulled off somewhere in which that somewhere was Ash's house.

Alexa decided to tease Brock a bit, saying, "Okay Brock, I'll be thinking about you and your offer!"

Brock instantly wanted to recover from Croagunk's grip yelling out, "Please Croagunk, I'll finally be able to be with someone and you're pulling that moment away!" Brock literally wanted to cry, feeling sad that he got a chance with someone at least only to have Crogunk take it away.

"Nice guy," said Alexa sweat dropping and being a bit embarrassed at what just happened. "Anyway, time to go Ash!

"Right this way! Into the car heading for the airport," yelled Professor Oak.

"Oh, before we both forget, remember to call me Ash and change your you-know-whats!"

"Stop embarrassing me mom. I won't forget."

And with that, Alexa, Ash, Professor Oak, and Pikachu went into the car and headed for the airport where Ash's adventure in Kalos begins! What Ash didn't know is that a young man was watching him and Pikachu.

"You see that Oshawott. Ash and his friends now have info on us."

"Osha!"

Hope you like this story cause there will be many more to come despite being a new one. L-ater.
