A/N: So this is my first fanfic so be nice! I revised this chapter and changed a little bit of the original plot! This story will be in no one's POV. I will try and update it every Sunday, so without further ado here it is.
Chapter 1: The Return of Ash
"You know Ash, we're really going to miss you!" a green haired boy said.
Yeah! And don't be such a kid!" a girl with big bushy hair stated. These two of course were Ash's traveling companions in Unova, Iris and Cilan.
"Promise we will keep in touch! I can't wait to get back to Kanto!" said a messy raven haired boy. He is none other than our hero Ash Ketchum.
**BEEEEEEPPP**
"There's my ship! I better get going or I'm going to be late!" he yelled running to board the ship home to Kanto.
Back in Kanto at Professor Oak's Lab
"Mom! Professor Oak! We're home!" Ash yelled as he barged through the lab doors.
"Ash, sweetie, we didn't expect you home until tomorrow!" his mother Delia exclaimed excitedly. Professor Oak offered a friendly 'hello' and 'how was the trip'. The three plus Ash's Pikachu stayed and talked late into the night about all of Ash's new friends, Pokémon and memories.
The Next Day
"Pika, pi!" exclaimed the little mouse Pokémon, who was perched upon Ash's sleeping body. Pikachu wanted to wake Ash up. He prodded and poked him with all his might but Ash still wouldn't wake up. "PIKAAA CHUUUUUUUU!" The little mouse had shocked Ash to wake him up and it sure did the trick!
"AHHHHAHAHAHHAHAH! What was that for?" Ash stated very madly.
"Pika pi! Pika chu chu."
"There's somebody here? Ok, let me get dressed."
Ash hurried to put on his usual attire and galloped down the stairs. Turning into the kitchen he saw someone whom he had not seen in a very long time.
"Dawn? What are you doing here in Kanto? More importantly, why are you in my kitchen?" Ash asked.
Dawn replied. "Oh, Professor Oak didn't tell you? I work for him now! I just got back from Hoenn! I was doing a research project over there for him.
"Wow, that's great. But what about contests, I mean they were your passion for like, ever."
"I still do them on occasions. But now I feel as if doing research is more important than showing off my Pokémon on a stage.
Ash had a very confused look on his face but he just rolled with it.
"Well, I better get back to the lab. Professor Oak will be wanting me to get back to my research about Pokémon diets." Dawn said.
"Wait," Ash said. "How did you know that I was here? I only got back yesterday.
"Oh, Pikachu came to the lab this morning when I was feeding your Pokémon! Bye Ash, I really need to go!"
"Bye Dawn." Dawn let herself out and closed the door behind her leaving behind a very hungry Ash.
"Alright buddy, time for breakfast" Ash said excitedly.
