I would like to thank Soof49 for the review telling me on the things I have overlooked. He/she opened my eyes to grammar mistakes and some problems that I will try to fix.
As usual, I do not own Pokémon, and I will never unless Nintendo sells me it after becoming bankrupt. Which, we all know, will never happen.

Beep Beep Beep!
"Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have stayed up so late," Ash groggily pushed the covers off of himself, hitting the sleep button on his alarm clock on his desk. "I know today's the day I get a Pokémon, but why do I have to get up so early?"
"Ash, breakfast is ready," Delia Ketchum called from downstairs. "If you don't hurry up, you'll miss it!"
"I'll be down in a minute," Ash yelled down to her. "Give me a minute!"
Making his bed, Ash Ketchum hurried up and got dressed in his usual outfit, a black t-shirt with a light jacket over it, along with light blue pants and black/white sneakers. He grabbed his backpack which he had set next to his bed the day before.
Ash opened the door to his room and walked downstairs to greet his mother and the family Pokémon, Mr. Mime. Ash really didn't know much about the Psychic Pokémon, despite living with it for years. He only ever saw it cleaning the house, or doing chores with his mother. It was almost always silent anyways.
"Good morning Ash," Delia greeted him. "How was your sleep?"
"Good, I may have stayed up later than I needed to," he responded, "I guess I was a little excited." 'Excited to find him at least.' Ash mentally scowled. He wouldn't forget to find him. No, he wouldn't. Not after leaving him and mom to live by themselves.
"Well, you must have been, I know your dad was excited. Did you know he woke up late on the day he was to get a Pokémon?" Delia smiled at the memories, although Ash could tell it was forced.
Ash sat down at the table. He scowled when his mother mentioned his dad, but he hid it from her. He quickly began eating to finish early. He had to be at Professor Oak's soon. He only had a bit of time before he had to meet the Professor.
"Sorry to cut this short mom, but I have to go now," Ash said as he made his way to the door. "Will you be there when I get my Pokémon?"
"Of course honey, just let me put my work clothes on. I still have to manage the Restaurant today, so I may have to cut it a bit short." Delia told him.
"Oh, its fine," To Ash, that was a little disappointing, "It only matters if I see you at all there."
"I will, don't worry about that," Delia assured him, with a real smile this time.
With that, Ash made his way to the famed Professor's lab was.
To his start as a Pokémon Trainer.

'Master, I believe we have made another wrong turn,' Lucario was getting sick of this. Riley shouldn't of been this bad at following a map. 'Let me see that map.'
Riley sighed. It wasn't his fault. Why was Viridian forest so hard to navigate? Its like the forest wanted them to get lost. Giving the map to Lucario, he waited to see what the Pokémon said.
'Master...' Lucario began, 'This is a map of Santalune Forest in Kalos, not Viridian Forest.'
Riley really wished he hadn't bought the map from the crazy guy selling rocks at Pewter City.

Ash walked up to the hill that held the famed Professor Oak's lab. It was there that he would begin his Journey. There he would begin his quest to find his father. There he would find the beginning of his quest as a Pokémon Master.
And there, he would find his least favorite Oak, Gary.
Driving a red mercedes of all things. How did he get his license when Ash didn't? He wasn't that bad at driving. Not that he had much use for a car on the road.
Probably begging his Grandfather for one.
"Hey Ashy-Boy," Oak began, using his degrading nickname for him again, "Finally showed up, eh? I thought you would chicken out!"
"Say that name again, and I won't refrain from punching you in the face," and with that, Ash made his way into Samuel Oak's Lab, ignoring Gary, who sent a glare to him.
One of Oak's Aides noticed him, "Right this way, Ash," The Aide said, and led him into a room that had a circular table in the middle. This table held 2 Pokéballs, containing 2 of the starter Pokémon that Oak had left. Gary must've took the other one. That also meant that the other trainer either hadn't made it, or was late.
Gary was one of the people Ash hated the most. He acted like he should own everything. And he expected to get it, too.
Samuel Oak finally walked in.
"Hello Ash, welcome to my lab," Oak began "I have two Pokéballs here, one of the Pokémon inside will travel with you on your journey."
He walked over and grabbed the two Pokéballs.
"This one," Oak held up the left Pokéball, "Is the Fire-type, Charmander. It is a stubborn natured Pokémon, but have incredible strength."
Oak held up the right Pokéball. "This one contains a Grass-type, Bulbasaur. It is easy to raise, and amazingly loyal."
Ash looked at the two Pokéballs, studying them.
"So Ash, which one will you choose?" Oak asked.
Ash had made the choice long ago.
"I choose…

ZOMG CLIFFHANGER! Also, just so you know, I made this chapter right away when I read that review of yours, Soof49. It filled me with excitement to hear some criticism for once, and I made sure to proofread it at least 3 times. And no, it did not sound condescending :D
