Ash Ketchum smiled, He'd just won the Sinnoh league Championship and was on his way home, it was a sight to see, him holding the trophy which glimmered in the sunlight shining through one of the trains many windows. "Hey buddy we're almost there" said Ash waking up Pikachu "pika pika pi" he responded "yeah it will be great to see all of our friends, I can't wait" said Ash happily, his mother would be holding a rather large party at the house to celebrate his victory in a couple of days.

"Well here we are, back home, back in Pallet Town" he said a wave of nostalgia washing through him, "pika pikachu" said Pikachu "I know, it is great to be back" said Ash feeling quite good.

"Oh my little baby has returned!" squealed Delia crushing him in a giant bear hug as he walked in through the door "uh, hello to you too" said Ash somewhat sarcastically, "so how are you?" asked Delia "I feel great after winning the championship" said Ash "have you been changing your you-know-whats?" she asked "Yes!" shouted Ash rather red faced and embarrassed even though no one else was there to hear their conversation "merely checking, anyways I hope your excited for the party" said Delia "sure am, I can't wait to see all of my friends again" said Ash. "I'm glad to hear that, now why don't you go upstairs and make yourself comfortable, it surely must have been a long train trip yes?" asked Delia "sure was, are you going to make breakfast now? because I'm starting to get hungry" said Ash "yes I am going to so why don't you go and get some rest for now" suggested Delia "okay see you at breakfast" he said running upstairs. "Ahhh" he breathed as he lay down on his bed and dropped his backpack on the floor, he was soon asleep, tired from his long days of travel"
