The End of The Beginning

After the Sinnoh League, Ash wonders what he will do next. He had already been to every league championship there is, so he decided to take a brake from it all. The journey back to his hometown was just a night sleep. His mother kept calling him through his Pokenav, so decided to shut it off. He knew his mom was only worried about him but she didn't have be so overprotective.

Ash and his friends, Brock and Misty, were sleeping peacefully in their own beds. The cruiser they were sailing on their way back to Kanto was luxurious. But it was all right for Ash. The money he spent on the trip was nothing compared to the money he had won at the Sinnoh league championship.

His faithful partner, Pikachu, lies asleep on Ash's bed. Ash had gotten Pikachu three years ago, or was it four? He didn't remember, but he will never forget the times and memories that they have gone through together. Whenever Pikachu is in trouble, Ash will always be there to protect and rescue him. The same goes for Ash.

That night, no matter how hard he tries, Ash couldn't fall asleep. He always wondered what the future holds for him. He had always been confident that the future will always be great for him and his friends. He never loses faith and hope. This time, Ash's confidence is disappearing the more he thinks about it. He gazed at the night sky outside of their cabin. He just stared above him, wondering what will happen next when he got back home. Will he never see his frends again? Will he lose his Pokemon, especially Pikachu? No, not pikachu, never! Ash thought to himself, but what if ? What if he did lose his Pikachu?

Just then, something nudged at the back of his leg. He turned. It was his ever faithful friend, Pikachu. "Hey there, buddy! Aren't you asleep yet?" he told the Pokemon but Pikachu just suddenly jumped into his arms.

"Pika, Pika!" the Pokemon replied to it's master.

"Don't worry, Pikachu! We will always be together forever!" Ash said with confidence.

"Pika, pika, pikachu!" the yellow roddent Pokemon replied. Both of them will always know that they will be together until the end of time.

"Hey, Ash. What's wrong? Can't go to sleep yet?" said a voice Ash was familiar with. He turned to see Brock and Misty standing at the front door.

"Is there a problem?" Misty asks with concern in her voice. Brock, from the looks of his face, he was worried too.

"No, guys. Everything's just fine. Oh, yeah. Can you guys promise me something?" Ash said, almost to tears.

"Sure, what is it?" Brock asked, curious. He had never seen Ash like this before. He glanced beside him. Misty was not curious or concerend at all. She was looking really serious. Brock returned his gaze to Ash. He never saw his friends before like this. " Hey, Ash-" he began but was interrupted when a hand was placed on his shoulder. He turned to see it was Misty. She looked at Brock and shook his head. Not now. Brock recieved the message. Yes, it is best to let Ash go first. He thought. They then turned their attention to Ash.

"Promise me, we'll always be together forever," he said.

"You got it, Ash! Together forever." Both of them exclaimed. The four of them then continued on their journey. Neither one of them could ever forget each other. That night, Ash learned his most important lesson yet. The most important thing is today then tommorow.

This marks the end of his journey, and the beggining of a new one.
