Chapter 1: My name is Ash


Hello world, my name is Ash. Tomorrow, I'm going on my journey to become a Pokemon Master. I'm very excited and I know I can fulfill my dreams!

Right now, even though it was very late, I was not asleep, or even tired, despite being in my bedroom. After I try on the new trainer outfit my mom bought for me, I pick up my alarm clock, which was shaped like a Pokeball. "To all of the Pokemon in the world, I will become a Pokemon Master! Pokemon Master! That is what I..." I say, my voice getting louder with each word.

"Ash, get to bed!" I suddenly hear someone shout. This startled me to the point of throwing my alarm clock forward. Luckily my mom, who was the one who shouted, caught it, though she never took her eyes off of me. "It's eleven o'clock and you should be asleep."

"But tomorrow I begin my Pokemon journey. I can't sleep." I respond.

To my surprise she seemed to accept the excuse... sort of. "If you can't sleep you should at least get ready for tomorrow. Here, watch this." She changed the channel on my TV. I turn and begin watching. Professor Oak talking about the three starter Pokemon and what they were capable of. "Go to bed when this is done. And change into your pajamas."

"Okay Mom." I say, my eyes still on the TV screen.

As I closely examine the three Pokemon the professor shows off, I think to myself that they all look so cool. I haven't got a clue yet though which one I want. I just hope that I can decide once I go to the professor's lab.
