Certain things to remember

Ash will catch all his canon pokemon

He will be catching other pokemon

This will be a story mixing Anime, Game and Manga

Ash will be smarter but he still will need to learn more

Lastly Ash will catch the Legends he just won't use them for more than training and when the setting needs them.

Chapter 1

It was a normal night in the quiet town of Pallet town, as tomorrow was the day that four young kids for the town were going to be leaving to start their pokemon journeys. Everybody was sleeping in their beds, Except for the young man, Ash Ketchum as he was still up reading his favourite book, a book all about Fire types; he was reading this as he is hoping to get a Charmander as his starter pokemon. He hears his bedroom door open and a head pop in.

"Ash, sweetie its time to go to sleep if you want to wake up early tomorrow" said his Mother, the sweet and kind Delia Ketchum.

"Ok, mom, remember I have to be there by nine, ok" said Ash as he put his bookmark in his book and placed the book on his nightstand.

"Yes, I know sweetie now go to sleep" said Delia, with the last part being a bit sterner.

Delia left the room after that and Ash turned off his bedside light and laid down and closed his eyes and started to count Mareep.

"One, Mareep, Two, Mareep, Three, Mareep, Four, Mareep, Five, Mareep, Six, Mare..." was all Ash could count up to before he was asleep.

Ash was woken up the next day by his mother shouting up at him that it was time to get up and that breakfast was on the table ready for him.

"ASH, Get up it's already half eight, and breakfast is ready" shouted up to Ash.

Ash woke up and fell out the left side of his bed and hit his head on the floor, dazing him for a bit before he remembered what day it was and shouted back to his mum.

"I'm up mum; I'll be down in a minute"

Ash started to get dressed and head down stairs to his mum. He walked in to the kitchen and say his mother plating up a big stack of chocolate chip pancakes for him.

"There you go, Sweetie, your favourite breakfast for your first day of your journey, since this will be the last time for a while that you will be able to eat this" said Delia

"Thanks, mum, and don't you worry I will be home and a Master before you know it" said Ash as he sat down and started to dig in to the plate of pancakes.

"So, have you decided who you're going to choose as your first pokemon?" said Delia as she sat down herself to eat her breakfast.

"I was hoping to be able to get a Charmander but a Bulbasaur or Squirtle wouldn't be so bad" said Ash as he went back to eating his breakfast and seemed to scarfing them down very quickly.

"Just, like your father then" said Delia, and she remembered the last time all three of them where together.

"Yeah, I did promise him when the day came I would chose him and he did give me the book so I would be able to handle him as he said they can be difficult at first when they become a Charizard but once you can get past that and fully bond then they can become a real powerhouse for your team" Ash replied braking Delia from her thoughts.

Ash finished his breakfast and went into the living room to recheck his backpack that he and his mother had spent, the evening yesterday packing, to make sure that everything is in there that he needs for his journey. He closed his backpack up again and checked the clock he only had ten more minutes until he had to be at the Professor's, so he went back into the kitchen to see his mother cleaning up the dishes.

"Hey, mum I'm heading over to the Professor's now" said Ash as he stood at the kitchen door

"Ok, sweetie, Keep safe on your journey and don't forget to call when you get to Viridian City" replied Delia as Ash was leaving the house with his Backpack.

Ash was making his way over to Professor Oak's ranch and less the ten minutes later he was in front of the ranch, ringing the front door bell and one of the professor's aides answered the door.

"Ash, finally you got here the other's are already her" said the aide

Ash steeped into the lab and made his way to the room with the other new trainers, the people in the room were Professor Oak, his grandson and Ash's rival Gary Oak, Leaf green, one of Ash's and Gary's best friends from their childhoods and the last one was a girl named Samantha Williams a girl that was helping out around the lab for soon time she was a bit older than the others at the age of twelve as she was a bit afraid of pokemon and had being helping the professor to help get over her fear, which she had and would now be starting her journey.

"About time Ash, I knew you would be the last one here as you always were a bit slow" said Gary from the corner of the room.

"Be quiet Gary you only got here a few minutes before ash did so you have no reason to complain" said Leaf and looked at the smug face of Gary change to an annoyed one.

Before things could escalate further Professor Oak spoke up.

"Ok, know that we are all here why don't we being now we will be going in the order you arrived so Leaf will go first then Samantha the Gary and Lastly you Ash, is everyone happy with this" said Professor Oak, and when he got his reply of it was ok he started off by giving his normal speech about how the world was filled with many different pokemon and that there where many dangerous pokemon in the world and that we should all be careful when we are out in the world and then he started to point to the machine in the middle of the room , where there were three pokeballs on the machine. "Now would you like to come over here leaf and chose one of these pokeballs, the one with the water drop on it contains the starter pokemon Squirtle, the one with the Fire on it contains the starter Charmander and lastly the one with the leaf on it contains the starter Bulbasaur, So which one will you chose"

Leaf walked over to the machine and instantly chose the pokeball containing the Grass starter Bulbasaur; she then turned to professor and said "I chose this one as I have always wanted this one". Leaf then went to the side as Oak called Samantha up next, Samantha went up to the two remaining two pokeballs and chose the one with Charmander in it and then walked over to were leaf was when Gary strolled over and took the one with Squirtle and said " I got the best one out of the lot of them, nothing you get will be better Ash" and then he walked over to the two girls and Ash walked over to professor Oak and asked if there were other pokeballs as there were none left.

"Well, the other starters are coming a bit later on, but there is a pokemon I could give you if you want" said professor Oak as he walked over to were the pokeballs where and pushed a button that made the centre open and another pokeball come out, this pokeball was one with a lightning bolt on it, he then turned to face Ash and then spoke," this is a pokemon that I found injured during one of my walks and I was going to release it soon but if you would like to take it you can or you can wait until later to chose one of the starters"

Ash looked at the pokeball for a bit then asked if he could see what pokemon it was, professor Oak then opened the pokeball to reveal the small yellow mouse pokemon, Pikachu, Ash then bent down to Pikachu's level and spoke to him, he could tell it was male by the shape of his tail.

"Hi, there, my name is Ash Ketchum and I plan on becoming the world's greatest pokemon master and was wondering if you would like to help me with that" said Ash as he watched Pikachu study him as what the professor didn't know was how this Pikachu had gotten injured, as Pikachu had been attacked by some trainers for fun and then they left him there until the professor had found him, so Pikachu was a little bit scared of humans right now, but after a while he felt no bad vibes coming from this person so he walked over to the boy named Ash and took his hand with his paw and asked him in his own tongue.

"Pika pi pika chu pi chu" (Are you share you what a pokemon like me) said Pikachu

Now what Pikachu or anyone else knew was that since Ash was a little kid he was able to sometimes understand what pokemon were saying, so when Pikachu spoke there, Ash was able to answer easily

"Yes, Pikachu, would love to have a pokemon like you" said Ash as he saw the shocked look that Pikachu was giving him

"Pi chu pika pi" (you could understand me) said Pikachu again as he pointed to himself then again at Ash

"Partially, I just get the feeling that was what you were trying to say" said ash as Pikachu and everyone else was looking at him, before Ash stood up again and told the professor that he was going to be taking Pikachu as his starter, Ash was then handed Pikachu pokeball and was about to return him when he saw the look on his face and then he asked if Pikachu wanted to stay out and when Pikachu nodded he clipped the pokeball onto his waist and then held out his arm and pointed to his shoulder and Pikachu got what he wanted and ran up his arm and sat on his shoulder, Ash then looked around the room at the others while the Professor was doing something in the corner, leaf was the first to talk.

"So, now that we all have are starters, what are you going to be doing on your travels" Said leaf as she swirled the pokeball in her hand. Gary said he was going to become the champion and Samantha said she just wanted to be able to travel the world to see the world and Ash said he would return a master to which Gary said then he shouldn't leave as he was never going to come back then, Leaf was about to responded when Professor Oak came back and handed each of the four trainers a small red notebook type item.

"This item is called the Pokedex, I hope you are able to fill it with many types of pokemon and to help you do that here are five pokeballs" and then handed the four trainers five shrunken red and white balls, he then gave another speech about the importance of being safe and he then told them that he wishes them luck and left to go outside to work on his research.

Gary then said he was going to head out and that he was going to be the first to collect all his badges and then left out the door, leaf then turned to the others and said that they better hurry up if they don't want to be left behind and ran after Gary, Samantha followed soon after words but Ash waited a bit as he wanted to check his Pikachu first.

"Hey, Pikachu would you mind getting on the floor for a minute, I just want to scan you to see what moves you know" said Ash and Pikachu replied by jumping off his shoulder and landing on the floor facing him. Ash then took out pokedex and pointed it at Pikachu.

Pikachu, the Small Mouse Pokémon, and the evolved form of Pichu, whenever Pikachu comes across something new, it blasts it with a jolt of Electricity. If you ever come across a Blackened berry, it is evidence that this pokemon mistook the power of its attack. This Pikachu is male and has the ability Static. He knows the moves Thunder shock, Quick attack, Thunder wave and Growl. This Pikachu also possess the Egg moves, Volt Tackle and Thunder Punch, which are still to be unlocked.

"Wow, Pikachu, so you have two egg moves and I can't wait until we will unlock them" said Ash as he put the pokedex back in to his pocket and held his arm out again for Pikachu to climb on to his shoulder again. Pikachu climbed back up to his shoulder and Ash left the room and went out the door to see the whole town there wait to see the four trainers off, Gary was in a bright red sports car with a group of cheerleaders and was giving a speech about how he was going to be the one that would make Pallet town proud, but was also getting a stern look from his Father, Blue Oak, while his mother Green was walking to Ash and Leaf's mothers, Delia and Rose, Leaf was standing next to her bike as she was going through her small backpack and Samantha was talking to her parents. When Delia noticed Ash walking towards them with a pokemon on his shoulder she stopped her chat with the mothers and went over to him.

"So, who's this you have on your shoulder" said Delia as she went to rub the mouse's head but he pulled back.

"This, is my starter and Friend, Pikachu, you see since the professor only had the three starters available at the time and more wouldn't get here until later, I asked if he had any other pokeballs and then he told me about how he had found Pikachu injured during one of his walks and was going to release him but I could take him if I wanted to, so I did and I'm sure we are going to be best friends right Pikachu" said Ash as he moved his hand up to scratch Pikachu behind the ear.

"Well, I know you wanted a Charmander, but I'm sure that you will do your best with Pikachu here and hey you could evolve him and have a very strong Raichu then" said Delia, but at the sound of being evolved, Pikachu let out a loud "Pika" and started to shake his head and make an "X" shape with his hands.

"Oh, so you don't want to evolve, Pikachu" asked Ash as he lifted Pikachu from his shoulder and held him in front of himself, Pikachu once again shook his head.

"Well, if that's what you want I won't force you to but we have to be careful, with Thunderstones then" said Ash as he put Pikachu back on to his shoulder. It was at this moment that Gary spoke up.

"Well, I'm out of here and I will return the champion" as he sat down and the cheerleaders in his car sped off, leaving those behind in a dust cloud. After everybody had finished coughing, leaf gave her mother one last hug and started to peddle off on her bike and Samantha followed shortly afterwards, Ash was the last to leave as he was being hugged by his mother and she just didn't want to let go.

"Come on, mom, I have to go" said Ash as he tried to release himself from the hug, his mum did release him from her hug but she still had some tears in her eyes.

"Come on Delia, Ash will be safe out there and I'm sure nothing is going to happen to him" said Rose, leafs mother and Green, Gary's mother as they pulled her in to a group hug.

"I'll call ya, when I get to Viridian City ok to make sure I got there safe, ok" said Ash as he started to walk away from the crowd and towards route one, with one last look at his home town Ash took his first steps to become the master he was destined to be.
