{[( This is a story about Ash Ketchum's daughter going out on her Pokémon adventure. In this story, Ash has successfully become a Pokémon Master, and has also obtained the title of Champion. He's now settled down in Pallet Town and though he still occasionally goes on adventures, it's not nearly as frequent. Also, Ash and Misty are married and Luna is their daughter.)]}
A girl with messy pink hair, flowing halfway down her back. She wears a black t-shirt under an open pink shirt with short white sleeves and blue jeans. As she finishes tying her shoes, she smiles, humming a tune quietly. "Alright, I'm going now!" She shouted.
"Luna, wait!" Ash shouted. It'd been 15 years since Ash officially became a Pokémon Master, so he'd grown up, but he was still recognizably the same person. He was dressed in a black t-shirt and a white vest trimmed with white and blue jeans. "Here, I want you to have this." He said, placing a hat on her head.
Luna took it off to get a look at it. "Huh? But dad, this is your Pokémon League Expo hat. It's your favorite."
He smiled. "Yeah, well, think about it as a good luck charm." Ash said. "It's just… that hat holds a lot of memories for me, and I want it to do the same for you."
Luna smiled. "Okay." She placed it on her head and smiled. "How's it look?"
"It looks great, Luna." Misty said, walking out of the other room. "You look just like your father in that outfit."
She smiled. "Well, to become a Champion, you should dress like a Champion… but I couldn't find the clothes to dress like Cynthia, so I went with this."
"Thanks for that.." Ash said.
Luna giggled. "I'm just kidding dad." She really was just joking. Though she thought of Cynthia as an amazing person and Champion, her father was her hero and she wanted to be a Pokémon Master, just like him.
Misty smiled. "So, you're really ready to go, huh?" She asked.
She nodded. "Yep. Today marks my first step to become a Pokémon Master!" She said, energetically.
Ash and Misty smiled at each other. "Well I guess you'd better get to the lab then, huh?" Misty said.
Luna gave a nod. "Well, be sure to tell Gar- I mean the professor I said hi."
She nodded. "I will." She opened the door and walked out, stopping at the end of the walkway. She turned around quickly, running to her parents and giving them a hug. "I love you."
The two hugged her back. "Be safe out there, kiddo." Ash said, with a warm smile.
"Make sure you call us when you get to Viridian City." Misty said.
Luna nodded. "I will. I'm gonna go now."
"Pika-pi!" Pikachu ran over to her, hopping into her arms, giving her a hug.
"I'll miss you too, Pikachu." She said, placing her back down on the ground.
Luna made her way down the street to the lab. "My name is Luna Ketchum, and only a couple days ago, I finally turned 10 years old. My dad is Ash Ketchum, the Champion of the Kanto Region and one of the greatest Pokémon Masters of all time. That's not just me saying it, it's actually been recorded. My mom used to run the Cerulean City Gym, but since she moved to Pallet Town, she hasn't really battled that much. She is one of the greatest Water-type trainers in the world though, and I'm really proud to be their daughter. My goal is to become a Pokémon Master, just like my dad. I don't really know what it means to become a Pokémon Master, but my dad says that you'll know it when the time is right. So I'm looking forward to that moment. And it all starts here."
"Professor, I'm here!" Luna said, excitedly coming through the doors of the lab.
"Oh, hey there, Luna." Gary said, walking over to her.
"Professor Oak retired a couple years ago and though he comes to the lab a lot still, Uncle Gary has been taking over though and he's been doing a great job."
"You ready for your starter Pokémon?" Gary asked.
She nodded. "Oh, my dad told me to tell you hi."
He smiled. "I'll have to tell him I got the message then."
Luna smiled. "So where are the starter Pokémon?"
"Slow down, Luna, we still have to wait for Sasha." He said, as the door opened. "Ah, there she is."
A girl with long brown hair and wearing a black t-shirt with an open green short sleeved one over it and grey jeans rushed into the room. "I can't believe you didn't wake me up!" She shouted. "Huh? Luna? You better not have already picked a Pokémon."
She shook her head. "No, I just got here."
"So you were late too, then? Like father like daughter." She said in a mocking tone.
"Well, when my dad was late he got Pikachu, which is the strongest one in recorded history, so…" Sasha froze up a bit. "Also, you were more late than me."
Sasha looked annoyed. "Well… I'm still choosing my Pokémon first."
Luna nodded. "That's fine." She said, smiling.
"Wait, if I choose first, you'll just choose the one mine is weak to. You know what, you go first." Sasha said, smirking. "I see your game."
Luna looked confused. "I don't know what you mean, but if you want me to go first, I can."
"Wait, I know what you're doing. Reverse psychology. Well, it's not going to work on me. I'm picking first and that's final!"
Luna raised an eyebrow. "Okay, I guess?"
Gary laughed. "Come on you two, the starter Pokémon are in the next room."
"What?!" Sasha shouted. "One of them is already gone!"
Luna smiled. "I'm glad Bulbasaur has a trainer. I hope they're getting along."
Sasha groaned. "I thought I was gonna be first."
"It doesn't matter who chooses first, as long as we get one, it's fine, right?" Luna said, smiling.
Sasha sighed. "Well, I was going to pick Squirtle anyway." She said, picking up the ball. "That's the one you got, right dad?" Gary nodded. "Ha! I got the best one. Now you have to pick the fire-type, which is weak to mine."
Luna nodded. "That's okay. The Ketchum family doesn't go easy mode anyway." She said picking up the ball with Charmander in it and tossing it up in the air, letting Charmander out.
"Char?" Charmander looked around, looking over to Gary and then over to Luna.
"Oh, you're so cute! Hi Charmander, my name is Luna. And from today onward, we're going to be best friends!"
Charmander smiled. "Char Char!"
"My Pokémon is cute too." Sasha said, tossing the ball and letting Squirtle out.
Luna nodded. "You're right, Squirtle is pretty cute. Hey, since we both have our Pokémon out right now, why don't we have a battle?" She asked, energetically tossing Charmander's PokéBall in the air and swiping it out of the air, catching it.
Sasha saw how determined Luna looked and huffed. "I don't think so. I'd hate for you to have to rush to the Pokémon Center right after getting Charmander. We'll battle next time we see each other. Though, I'll probably win."
Luna smiled. "Alright then, it's a deal. Next time we see each other, we'll have a battle!"
Gary smiled. "Alright you two, here take these with you. These are the most up-to-date PokéDex models. And here are five PokéBalls." The two girls took them and placed them in their pockets. "Now go, you two. An exciting world of adventures await you. I wish you luck."
"I'll make you proud dad. Well, Luna, I'm gonna get a head-start. Smell ya later!" Sasha said as she ran out the door.
Gary shook his head. "Hey, watch out for her, alright. I used to be over confident like her. She'll come around eventually."
Luna nodded. "I'll make sure she's alright. Well, I guess we'd better go, right Charmander?" She said smiling. "Bye Uncle… Professor."
"You don't have to be so formal about it." Gary said, smiling.
She smiled. "Okay. I'm off!" She said, turning and running off to the town limits. "Well, Charmander, this is it. Our adventure begins now. Are you ready?" She asked.
Charmander nodded. "Charmander! Char Char! Cha?" Charmander looked up above her, seemingly in awe.
"What is it?" Luna asked, looking up. "Wait… that's…" She reached into her pocket and pulled out her PokéDex.
"Ho-Oh, the Rainbow Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is said to only appear to trainers destined for greatness. Many people have searched their entire lives and never seen it."
"It's Ho-Oh! It's really Ho-Oh!" Luna shouted.
At their home, Ash looked out the window, seeing Ho-Oh fly overhead. "Hey, look!"
"Huh? Oh wow!" Misty said, smiling.
Ash smiled. "Do you think Ho-Oh knows?"
Misty smiled at him. "Maybe. After all, Ho-Oh did give you it's blessing, Mr. Pokémon Master." She said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Ash blushed a bit. "Misty."
"What?" She said, smirking. "Come on, we've got some chores to take care of."
Luna made her way through Route 1 and happily hummed a theme she thought would be fitting for the walk. "And so begins the Adventures of Luna Ketchum on her quest to become a Pokémon Master. Along the way, she'll encounter new friends, tough battles, and more excitement than she could ever imagine. Who knows what lies ahead for her, in the incredible world of Pokémon!"
{[( Yes, that last narration part is her talking to herself. Honestly, I want to write Luna going on adventures so this is hopefully going to be more than just a few chapters. I'm really trying to think of more characters and how her story will go, since I initially came up with this idea when trying to write how I would end the anime, but while writing it, I realized I really wanted to write this.)]}
