Journey of the Chosen One

A/N: This is my first fanfiction, so I'm sorry if it's not that good. This will be based off of Ash's pokemon journey. In this Fic, he'll be able to talk in poke-speech, and will be smarter/more fit. All pokemon will be Kanto based (except houndour). I hope you enjoy. Flames will be ignored. Hey, I'm re-writing both my chapters. I realized that they aren't that good and frankly, far too short. I highly suggest re-reading. R&R.

Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon.

Prologue: The Beginning

A little boy, seeming about 1 1/2 years old, was crawling through the woods. He didn't know where he was. All he knew was it was starting to get dark. This baby had never been outside during the night and was getting scared by the unusual darkness. "grrrr" A creature snarled.

The child turned around to see a menacing dog-looking creature that would scare most people. However, he was just a infant. To him, it was just another puppy. The baby, being scared and lost, crawled over to the creature and hugged him.

Saying the creature was shocked would be an understatement. "Why is this infant hugging me? Most would cower away in fear," creature thought. The creature noticed the baby had fallen asleep. against his leg. He smiled softly at the sight."Don't worry infant, I'll get you home," the creature whispered.

The creature felt strangely attached to the human. He had never felt this way to ANY human before. He just seemed to have a peaceful calming aura radiating off of him. He felt like this human was special. He didn't know why, he just felt that way. After all, pokemon have much sharper senses than humans.

The creature had been searching for nearly 3 hours and no signs of the boy's home. The creature settled to take the infant to his den, where he could rest for the night. The den wasn't too far away from where they currently were, so he could continue where he left off tomorrow.

At the den:

The den wasn't much. It was just a small cave in the side of a mountain.There was a bit of meat laying around, a few crumbs, and blood. The blood likely coming from the meat. There was one thing that could be horrible for the boy's life though. There were more creatures like the one who found the boy. "WHO IS THE HUMAN AND WHAT IS HE DOING IN OUR HOME?!" one of the creatures bellowed.

This got all the other creatures to turn toward the entrance. As soon as they laid eyes on the boy, they all went out in a rage. All screaming at the creature to bring this HUMAN to THEIR home. "SILENCE," shouted a creature, who looked far stronger than the others and looked slightly different, "Maybe our fellow houndour has brought this child here for a reason. Would you like to share why this young one is here?"

Everyone, now known has houndour, look towards the houndour at the entrance. "Of course houndoom. This child was lost in the forest. I was trying to help find it's home. I had been looking for several hours and I couldn't find his parents. I opted to come back to the den and continue my search tomorrow."

"Very well. He may stay her for one night and one night only. Be warned though. If you bring him, or any other human ever again, you will both be punished."

Houndour thanked him for his kindness, and laid down to sleep. He'd had a very trying day. The boy started waking up. He looked around and saw all of the houndour. Normally he'd be afraid of all the strangers, but since they all looked like the houndour that helped him, he felt calm and at peace. After about a minute, he began to drift back to sleep.

The boy started to wake up again, but his time he was on houndour's back. He didn't recognize where he was. He started moving around on houndour's back and houndour looked up. "I see you have woken up infant," the houndour said.

The boy was confused as he looked around at his surroundings. They were currently on a path in the woods. There were trees on the left and right of them, but not in front of them. Houndour looked sharply to the left. The bush was rustling. He set the boy down, and went to inspect the bush.

Ash, noticing he was set down, went over to some caterpie. The caterpie noticed him and were cautious. They're parents had told them not to approach humans. Though this one was just an infant, and was riding on a houndour. Surely he couldn't mean any harm to them. They started to crawl towards him. "Piiee!" "Hi!" the caterpie welcomed.

"p-pi-piiee?" responed ash, attempting to communicate.

"Did you just...speak our language? Was it just a fluke?"

Ash just giggled and patted the caterpie. The caterpie assumed it was a fluke and they all started playing. Houndour started to head back to ash, after realizing it was just a ratata, to find that ash wasn't where he was before. He quickly looked around, then saw him with the caterpie. "Infant, come here," the houndour spoke.

Ash heard the familiar voice and crawled back to houndour, who promptly put him on his back to continue the search. "Ca-terCater" "Good-bye," the boy said.

Houndour and the caterpie were shocked. This infant just spoke their language. Houndour wasn't sure if we was just trying to repeat what the other caterpie were saying, so he began to continue the search.

After several hours (of the boy playing, and houndour searching) the houndour decided they need to go back to the den. He knew he wasn't supposed to bring the human back, but this human was very special, showing signs of learning the pokemon language. He would keep looking tomorrow, hopefully with some help.

At the den:

The houndour entered the den. "I have not been able to find the child's home. May he stay one more night? He is very special."

The leader of the pack walked up to houndour, "So you returned with the human? That was off limits. You must either leave him in the woods, or leave with him," the houndoom said sternly yet calmly.

"Please!" the houndour pleaded. "Just one more night! This child is very special! he's even showing signs of learning our language!"

"Oh he is, now is he? Then show us. Have him say something".

"Okay young one, say something to prove them wrong," houndour said in a shaky voice.

The boy, sensing his friend's discomfort, got scared and started to cry. He didn't know what was happening that scared his friend."It seem you have lied to us. We do not accept one's who betray the pack. You must now leave. Or we'll make you leave."

Houndour realized it was a lost cause. He and the boy sought shelter. The next 3 days were troubling. Food was scarce, and other pokemon did not like them trying to eat berries that they had "claimed". Just when houndour was about to give up, he heard a voice...

A/N Aaand end! So that's the redo of the prologue. The first version was not very good. The storyline didn't make too much sense. I hope this is better, and it's definitely much longer! I don't know how pokemon talk. I'm basing the speech on a bulbapedia article about pikachu that shows some recurring phrases of pikachu's speech. If you know of anything that would help me with their speech, pm me. Don't forget to review! Jay4921, signing out!
