Start of the Journey

Hospital
'Come on Ash wake up soon I don't want your dream to vanish because of this coma' thought Delia sitting by her son's bed side in he hospital
And just like that Ash's eyes started to open, squinting because of the light he can hear his mom call the doctor over, he then slowly started to sit up
"Wow young man you've made an incredible recovery you woke up in half the time you were expected to" said Doctor "And it seems you are moveable but we still need to run some tests on you"
"Ash there are some things you missed but I can list a few of them if you allow me to" said Delia
"Sure thing mom!" said Ash
"Well during that earth quake Kanto, Johto Hoenn Sinnoh and Unova have all merged together to form one country" said Delia
"What!, what do you mean?" asked Ash
"Yes but it wasn't just shifting them over together some pieces broke off and joined other parts for example castelia city from unova which would have been towards the south is now more in the center and pallet town instead of in the middle is more west than it was making it closer to where Hoenn would be" said Delia
"So everything has changed, so wait what about the pokemon league and all the pokemon?" asked Ash
"The pokemon league had to go through some changes as well since having around 40 gyms and 20 elite four members is way to many a select few were chosen to stay being gym leaders and elite four members while the other gyms are now for fun and good training luckily they all still get funded as usual, all gyms that count towards the pokemon league will have this symbol on their gym" said Delia holding a book which had the symbol on it, it was a pokeball tilted with the white part being spiked
"So being a gym leader is harder than it was before, making sure you are the master of your type" said Ash
"Um Ash sweetie there is something else I have to tell you that I think you should know" said Delia started to look at the ground
"What is it mom?" asked Ash
"Pallet Town was moved to a remote location making it hard to support ourselves so I had to sell the house and we now live with Gary's sister" said Delia
"What!" said Ash
"I'm sorry sweetie I had used all the money to make sure they didn't take you off of live support" said Delia
"No need to worry mom" said Ash smiling "I'm going to be able to support us one day when my career as a trainer starts but until then I need to prepare for my journey since the world is all different now I have to *shudders* study"
His mom laughed at her son's not liking of bookwork but it pleases her to see her son up well
"Alright sweetie I will borrow some books for you alright" said Delia

Profesor Oak's lab
Professor Oak moved his lab outside o Pallet town but is still able to get there with no trouble
"So Ash I hear you want to start your journey it seems" said Professor Oak
"Yeah I came hear for my starter Pokemon please" said Ash
Ash is wearing a blue with little white markings jacket shirt with a black undershirt underneath, he is also wearing blue cargo pants, with red high top sneakers and his hat which was red with a white pokeball marking on it (Ash's Kalos design but the shirt can open) he is also wearing a green backpack
"Well I only have one pokemon for you and I haven't officially caught it yet either so you will have to convince it to go inside your pokeball" said Oak showing Ash to the back he can see the pokemon who doesn't like pokeballs
"That right there is a Pikachu they are around the same strength of the original starter three pokemon Bulbasaur Charmander and Squirtle maybe a little stronger if raised right it can be stronger than there fill evolutions" said Oak
"Hey Pikachu I hear you don't like getting in your pokeball huh" said Ash kneeling down to get closer to Pikachu's level
"Pika" the pikachu replied
"Well if you come with me you never have to get in your pokeball you can travel with me by my side and see the world, battle, make friends and you can help make my dream come true of being acknowledged as one of the best trainers in the world" said Ash
"Pikachu" it said happily
"So all you have to do is to get in this Ultra ball once to register you as mine and no one else can try to catch you" said Ash taking out the Ultra ball from may and clicking the button to make it grow to a regular sized ball
"Pika!" it cheered happily hitting the ball and then being transferred into the ball by the red beam, it shook a few times in Ash's hands then it clicked signifying that it has been caught
"Yay! I just got my first pokemon" cheered Ash "Come out Pikachu!" throwing the ball up allowing Pikachu to come out
Pikachu came out a comfortably rested itself upon Ash's shoulder they exited the lab almost to the first route until Professor Oak and his mother stopped
"Wait Ash! Here are your 6 pokeballs and this is the most updated pokedex that covers all of the previous 5 regions pokedex (sinnoh) and this is an updated c-gear which includes the xtransceiver which allows you to talk and see with other people, the most updated map of the region, a watch , a radio, calculator, note pad, the pokemon list that allows you to check on your pokemon status, a dowsing machine, a stopwatch and an alarm clock (looks like c-gear but with features of pokegear, pokenav, and poketch)" said Oak catching his breath
"And I put a berry case some pokemon food and some cooking books for you in your bag" said Delia
"Thanks Mom and Thank you too Professor Oak I'll talk to you later when I reach the next town" said Ash walking away with Pikachu on his shoulder
"Pika Pi!" said Pikachu waving back at Delia and Oak
