I read somewhere that back when Pokemon started, Clefairy was the most popular pokemon in Japan, and that was the pokemon that Ash was going to start with. So I decided to make a fan fiction on it, and here we are now.
I haven't updated in a while, sorry every one. But I will soon.

It was crowded in the pokemon stadium that day, thousands of people showing up to see the battle between the elite four, and the most recent challengers.
On the battle field, two pokemon were facing off.
Nidorino charged at the Gengar, trying to poison it with its poison sting, only to have the other pokemon leap over its head. Nidorino kept going, and ran into the pillar that was behind the pokemon.
Gengar landed behind Nidorino, and put the pokemon to sleep with hypnosis.
Nidorino disappeared in a beam of red light, as his trainer returned his pokemon, and got ready to send out another pokemon.
All of this was being watched by nine year old Ash Ketchum It seemed that there had been many pokemon league challenges this day, and Ash had stayed up to watch them all.
Tomorrow was his tenth birthday, and he was going to go to professor Oaks lab to get his very first pokemon. One day, it would be him on the TV, using the pokemon that he had trained himself, to become a pokemon master.
With that thought, he picked up his alarm pokeball alarm clock, and held in over his head, imagining that he had just won the championship, and everyone was cheering his name.
Out of nowhere, his bed room door slammed open. He accidently threw his alarm clock, which was caught by his mom. The alarm clock opened, and a pidgey spouted out, making a cooing noise.
"Ash Ketchum, don't you know what time it is! You should have been in bed hours ago," scolded his mom.
"But mom, I'm too excited to sleep! And the pokemon league is still going," he stated excitedly.
"Well, you can find out what happens tomorrow," with that, she changed the channel, and Professor Oak appeared on the screen, "now I want you to get in bed, your big day is tomorrow." With that said, she left.
Ash got into his pjs, and got into bed. He fell asleep while listening to Professor Oak explain that tomorrow he would be giving the new trainers of Pallet Town a choice between Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur, and how he only had three pokemon to give out, and that anyone who was late would have to wait for another time.
In his dreams, he was a pokemon master. He won battle after battle, with thousands of people screaming his name. While Ash slept, his alarm clock sat on his bookshelf. Unknown to pokemon master to be, it wasn't turned on.
As he continued dreaming, the other kids in Pallet Town got their first pokemon.
Wondering what was taking her son so long; Delia went upstairs and opened the door. Seeing that he was still in bed, she whisked the covers off him, "Ash, you're late!"
Being snapped out of his dream, Ash tiredly sat up. Seeing his mom, and the TV in the corner, which was still on, Ash remembered what he was so excited about.
He leapt out of bed, and ran out the front door before anything else could be said.
Sighing, Delia turned off the TV, what was she going to do with that kid.
Ash ran all the way to Professor Oak's lab. He knew right where it was, since he used to hang out with Gary when they were younger. Thinking of Gary made Ash think of the reason he decided to become a pokemon trainer to begin with. When they were younger, they were the best of friends. They did everything together. After his parents passed away, Gary started hanging out more with his Grandfather. That's when he started becoming a know it all, thinking that he was better than everyone, since his Grandfather was a famous professor.
As Ash approached the lab, he saw that there was a crowd of people standing around the entrance. Wondering what was going on, he joined the group.
Before he could ask anyone what was going on, Gary walked out the door, and all of the people started to chant his name.
Seeing all the people, Gary started to wave to all the people gathered. Seeing Ash standing amongst the crowd, Gary approached him. "Well, well, well, if it isn't little Ashy coming to get his first pokemon. I see that you are keeping with the fashions"
Wondering what he was talking about, Ash finally realized that he was still in his pajamas. Deciding that there was nothing he could do about it, he wondered what pokemon Gary had chosen, and if there were any left. "Which one did you get!"
Grinning evilly, Gary took out the pokeball that contained his new pokemon, and showed to Ash. With everyone's eyes on them, Gary lazily spun the pokeball on his finger, "I'm not going to show you. And just to let you know, I got the last pokemon. And by the time you get your first one, I'll all ready be a pokemon master." With that said, he put the pokeball on his belt, and he started to walk away. He turned and faced the crowd of people, "people of Pallet Town, have no fear, for I, Gary Oak will soon become a pokemon master, and put Pallet Town on the map!"
Hearing this, the whole crowd cheered. With that, they all walked away, leaving Ash alone.
Now that Ash was alone, he had time to think about what Gary had said. Did he really take the last pokemon?
As he stood wondering, he didn't notice Professor Oak walk up behind him. "Can I help you with something?"
Jumping at the sudden appearance, he turned and faced the Professor. "Yes, sir, I'm here to get my first pokemon." He stated nervously, he knew that Gary said that he got the last pokemon, but maybe he was lying.
Looking Ash over, Professor Oak just had to sigh, "it doesn't look like you are ready for a pokemon journey, it looks like you are more ready for bed."
Seeing that his question wasn't answered, Ash decided to press on, "I'm ready, really I am!"
Allowing Ash to follow him, Professor Oak went into his lab. Sitting on the table were three pokeballs. Written on the pokeballs where the names Bulbasaur, charmander, and Squirtle.
Not knowing which pokemon that Gary had chosen, Ash decided to go with the one that he thought was the strongest, and picked up the pokeball that read Squirtle. After it came up empty, and hearing that someone else had gotten, he tried again with the Bulbasaur and charmander pokeball.
Seeing that Gary really did pick the last pokemon, he turned to Professor Oak, "if you had already given out all of the pokemon, why didn't you just tell me? And why where the pokeballs still there?"
Seeing his confusion, Professor Oak explained, "those where starter poke balls. I use them to hold the starter pokemon, until the trainer is there."
Hearing this, Ash felt desperate, "there has to be another pokemon, if I don't start now, then I'll never catch up to Gary."
Professor Oak remembered the rivalry between his Grandson and Ash. Then he thought of the pokemon he had been researching, "well, I do have one…"
Before he could finish, he was cut off "I'll take it!"
"Are you sure, this pokemon isn't given out to new trainers." Seeing the determination in Ash's eyes to get a pokemon no matter what, Professor Oak went and found the poke ball that held the pokemon that he was talking about. He wasn't sure about how this was going to work, but he figured he would give it a try. He went back into the room, and put the pokeball onto the table.
Ash picked up the pokeball, this was it! This was the moment that he was waiting for. He pushed the button on the pokeball, and in a flash of light, the pokemon appeared on the table.
Sitting on the table was a cute fairy pokemon. "This is clefairy, the fairy pokemon. This pokemon is quite rare."
Seeing his first pokemon, Ash had to admit, he was a little disappointed. It wasn't the big bad Squirtle that he was expecting. Clefairy must have sensed something, since she looked a little disappointed, then turned away from him.
Professor Oak saw the tension between the two of them, "are you sure you want this pokemon?"
Thinking it over, Ash realized that it didn't matter what pokemon he started, this was his chance to get as many pokemon as he could. With that, he picked Clefairy up, and gave her a hug.
Clefairy still didn't look convinced.
Professor Oak turned to Ash, "well, you need to work on that. Here are your 6 poke balls and your pokedex." Ash took the items. "Since that pokemon isn't one of the normal starter pokemon that I give out, it might be harder for you to handle, but if you put your mind to it, you can do anything!"
With that said, Ash took his pokemon and the items that the Professor gave him, and walked out the door. As soon as he was outside, he was surrounded by a group of people cheering for him.
His mom walked up to him, "oh my little Ash is all grown up and now has his first pokemon! I packed everything you need." With that, she handed him a bag full of clothes and anything else he needed to travel. She then saw what pokemon her son had, "Awww, it is so cute!" With that, she took Clefairy, and gave it a hug.
While his mom was holding clefairy, Ash took his clothes and went back into Professor Oaks lab, where he changed.
When he came back out, he got his back pack from his mom. "Now don't forget to call and change your you know whats everyday!"
With that said, Ash returned clefairy to her pokeball, and started walking down the road, waving to the crowd that had gathered to say goodbye and wish him luck.
Making it out of the town was easy. As he walked down the road, a voice called out of nowhere, "so I see that you actually got a pokemon."
Turning around, Ash saw Gary standing on the path in front of him. Gary held out his poke ball, "let's see which one is stronger!"
I checked over this chapter, and made a couple of changes, nothing to big. I thought the name of this story would be better than The Adventures of Clefairy. In case anyone doesn't know Pippi is Clefairys name in Japanese.
I don't know if anyone is reading this, but it will be fun to write!
