TOGETHER FOREVER Hey everyone, pokemon wars 22 here. I wanted to say that this is my first fanfiction so please tell me my flaws. Also, remember to review my story. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pokemon

CHAPTER 1

It was a beautiful sunny day in the Kanto region, more specifically Pallet Town were a certain young man was eating breakfast. Ash Ketchum was chomping down a pile of pancakes, not because he was glutton(although he ate a lot still), but because today was the day he would begin yet again another Pokemon journey, which was far off in the region of Kalos. Ash was going to ask a certain girl to accompany him on his new journey. " Ash Ketchum, if you don't hurry up you'll miss the plane and you don't have your backpack ready!" " Don't worry mom, I already know what to take on my journey." Ash said, finishing the last of his pancakes and running upstairs. Ash decided to bring one potion, ten pokeballs, his Xtranserver, an Oran berry, a full heal, and the half of his treasured Terracotta ribbon.

" Pika Pi, chuuuu!(Hey Ash, what about me!) Pikachu said, jumping on Ash's shoulder and giving him a small electric shock. " Ha ha ha, don't worry Pikachu, I could never forget you buddy." Ash said, patting Pikachu on the head. "Chaaaa, Pika!(Yeah, you better!)" " Ash, we have to leave now if we want to make it on time." Delia called to Ash from downstairs. " Coming mom." Ash called back. Then turning to Pikachu he said " Are you ready buddy?" " Pikachuu!(Yeah I'm ready!)" The two friends ran downstairs, caught up with Delia who was entering the car, and got in with her. " Do you have everything you need, Ash?" Delia asked. " Yeah mom, don't worry, I'm sixteen years old." Ash responded to his mom. " I know, but to me you'll always be my little boy." The rest of the trip was silent as Delia drove towards the airport in Viridian City. Forty minutes later, they arrived at the airport where Ash had his bags x-rayed and turned around and said "Bye mom, I'll see you later." "Remember to call me when you get to Hoenn. I'll miss you so much." "Mom, don't worry I can take care of myself." " I know you can, but Pikachu, can you take care of Ash for me?" "Pikachu, Pika( Don't worry, I always have.) " Well, people are already starting to board my flight, come on Pikachu." " Pika-chuuu!( Let's show them what we're made of!) The two partners grabbed their bags and ran towards their flight.

Once inside and when the plane was in the air, Ash put on the entertainment system where a live champion battle was taking place. It was Cynthia, who was facing a trainer from Cherrygrove City. Both were down to their last Pokemon, Cynthia, her Garchomp, the trainer, his Feraligator. " Garchomp, use Dragon Rush!" " Feraligator, counter with Ice Beam!" " Garchomp, stop your attack and use Flamethrower!" Both attacks intercepted, with Garchomp's Flamethrower being more powerful because of type advantage. "Feraligator, hold on!" "Garchomp, finish of with Earthquake!" Garchomp brought down its hands and created a strong tremor which sent Feraligator flying towards the wall. Feraligator then slid down, unconscious. " Feraligator is unable to battle," the announcer was saying, "so that means Cynthia is the winner!" The crowd went wild after the announcer's words. The challenger went over to the other side of the field and shook hands with Cynthia, saying "Thanks Cynthia, that was a great battle, I hope to see you again sometime." "Thank you, and good luck out there." "Wow Pikachu, that was a great battle wasn't it?" "Pikachu Pika(It's going to be us, winning the Kalos League)" A breaking news story came on and the two friends turned around to watch it. "Hello I'm Sam Tucker and we've received some breaking news in the town of Geosenge, in Kalos. Today a man was found dead on the ground, killed in the most gruesome way. His chest was torn open, and his face was stabbed multiple times. Police say this could be the work of a new serial killer. If you are a trainer in or traveling to Kalos, remember to take extreme caution. I'm Sam Tucker, and this was breaking news."

"PIKACHU!(THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING!)" "What the fuck, it just had to be in Kalos!" Both friends looked at each other "I've got a bad feeling about this." Ash said. Later, when the plane docked in Hoenn, Ash went out to get May, the girl he was asking to accompany him in Kalos. He found her arguing with her parents, and, as he got closer, he heard what they were saying. "I'll be alright, Ash will protect me if anything happens." Ash blushed as he heard that comment May made. "May, it's a serial killer you're facing with!" Norman yelled. "Honey, couldn't you stay home, at least until the serial killer is caught?" Caroline said. "Mom, if I had to stay home for every little crime that goes on in my travels, I wouldn't have even completed my journey in Hoenn!" She protested, starting to move away to run. " Honey not even Ash can protect you from a man who is out to KILL!" " I'm sorry dad." she said, as she turned around and started running away from them. "Honey, stop, we only want what's best for you!" "Leave me alone!" May screamed as she kept running, and bumped into Ash. May was momentarily surprised, then grabbed Ash's hand and started pulling him towards the gate. Both entered the plane before Norman and Caroline could catch them. "Pika Pikachu(Glad you could make it May.)" Pikachu said. "Ash, it's great to see you again." May said happily. "You heard the news, right May? "Yes, it's terrible, isn't it? The poor man probably had a family." She responded sadly. "May if anything happens, don't worry, I'll protect you." "Oh Ash, that's so sweet." May said, her eyes shining.

What will await them in Kalos? Will anything happen to them? Why am I speaking like this? I hope you liked this chapter, so stay on the lookout for the next one. Also remember to review and tell me where I can improve. This was pokemon wars 22, sayonara.
