Okay, I lied. You won't find out how the wish changes Ash's life, but you will see Ash make everyone think he's psychic. XD

Chapter Two: July 21st

Ash woke up with a start. He looked around. He saw his clock on the floor. He had thrown it in his sleep! He slept in! Ash jumped out of bed. How long had he slept in? He hoped all the pokémon weren't gone. Maybe there had been a delay, or no-one else wanted a pokémon, or-

"What the hell?"

Ash looked around. He was in his room.

He looked at his calendar. It was July 21st (I don't really know when Ash's birthday is, so I just made that up). It was his birthday. But wait-no it wasn't. Yesterday was April 14th. His birthday wasn't for at least 3 months. What was going on? Was his calendar off? And what was he doing in his room? Maybe something had happened, and he had been brought home.

But that still wouldn't explain that feeling he had when he got up. The same feeling he had when he first woke up on his tenth birthday. A mixture of panic that he had missed the pokémon ceremony, and excitement that he could now have a pokémon.

Then it hit him. It was a dream. This was all just a dream. He was on his way to his final gym battle in Kanto, so his subconscious was looking back on the day when he first got his pokémon. He decided that as long as he was here he might go along with it.

A few minutes later Ash was running to the pokémon ceremony (fully dressed, unlike when it had really happened). He got there and pushed Gary Oak's cheerleaders out of the way. He didn't care about being rude-after all, they weren't real.

This time, however, he made sure not to bump into Gary.

"Well, lookie lookie, it's Ash Ketchum!" said Gary. "Sorry, but all the pokémon are gone. I took the last one!"

"What do you think of it?" Ash asked.

"Well, I'm pretty sure it's gonna pound anyone who challenges me!"

Huh? That was weird. Usually no-one would ever tell him their opinion in his dreams. That was weird…

"Anyways, your too late," said Gary with a sneer. "You slept in and now all the pokémon are gone!"

"Actually, I think your grandpa has one other pokémon left," Ash replied, and ran off into professor Oak's lab.

He opened the door just as professor Oak walked up to it.

"Oh, hello," he said. "You're Ash, aren't you? Yes, well, I'm afraid all the pokémon are gone. My grandson took the last one."

"Actually," said Ash, "I think you still have one. A pikachu, I think?"

"But...why, yes, but-how did you know?"

"Lucky guess."

"Well, okay," said professor Oak, "Yes, I do have a pikachu left. Though I must warn you, it's-"

"Not very friendly," Ash finished Oak's sentence. "Don't worry. I know."

"Yes," said professor Oak, now starting to look suspiciously at Ash. "Well, here it is."

Oak pressed a button and another pokeball rose up in the center of the other three. A pikachu came out of it onto the counter.

"Pika-pi!" It said, looking at Ash.

"Hey, there, little buddy," said Ash. "I know you probably don't wanna come with me, but I'm pretty sure we'll get use to each other in time."

"Pika…CHUUUUUUU!!!!!" Pikachu shocked Ash with a huge thunderbolt.

"AA-EE-AA-EE-AA-EE-AA-EE-AA!!!!!" Ash fell to the ground, burn marks all over him. That had hurt. "Wait a minute," thought Ash, "I can never fell things in dreams…"

Then it hit him like that thunderbolt that pikachu had just used. This wasn't a dream. This was his wish. He was being given the chance to make it so that he had never met Misty.

Ash got up. He looked at pikachu. "Alright," he said, "if that's how you wanna be, then fine."

"Oh," said professor Oak, "I almost forgot-I have something for you. A-"

"Pokedex and some pokeballs. I know."

"Yes…" said professor Oak, now eyeing Ash with obvious suspicion. "Well, now that you have your pokémon you can be off."

"Thanks, professor!" Ash said, and headed out the door. Just as he had expected, his mom and her friends and neighbors were out there waiting for him.

"Oh Ash," his mom said, "I'm so proud of you. You're going to set off on your own journey now, and I may never see you again."

"Mom," Ash said reassuringly, "you know your gonna see me again. I'll come visit sometimes."

"I know. But say," she said, looking down at pikachu, "Aren't pokémon supposed to stay in their pokeballs?"

"Oh, pikachu doesn't like being in his pokeball," Ash explained. "He finds it too cramped."

Pikachu looked up, confused. How did Ash know this fact about him?

"Oh," she said. "Well, okay. I've packed you-"

"A backpack," Ash finished. He was having fun. "Thanks. Yes, I'll brush my teeth and change my underwear every day."

Ash's mother stared at him, dumfounded. "Oh," she Said. "Okay. Now you be careful."

"I will. C'mon, pikachu." And with that, Ash started off towards Viridian City, with pikachu at his heels.

____________________________________________________________

After walking for about 15 minutes, Ash saw a familiar site. It was the tree that pikachu had climbed up on before, when he was trying to get away from Ash.

Ash looked over the grass and saw the pidgey that he had tried to catch before. But this time he wouldn't. This time he just kept on going.

After another 20 minutes Ash could see Viridian city. He ran up to it, stepped into the city…

And woke up. Ash opened his eyes. Then he shielded them from the light. It had been a dream. Just another stupid dream. He would still have to put up with Misty.

But then he noticed something. He was much more comfortable than he should be on the ground. There also should be so much light with all the trees in the forest.

Eventually Ash's eyes got used to the light. He looked around.

He wasn't in the forest. It looked like he was in one of the rooms in they had in pokémon centers for trainers to sleep in. He sat up. He was in a soft, comfy bed. He looked around for pikachu.

But he wasn't there. Ash got out of bed and searched the room. Pikachu was nowhere to be found.

Ash would soon find out that he had been given a gift that most people would give anything for.

His wish had come true.

Alright, so that's chapter two! So in chapter three you'll get to see how much Ash's life has changed now that he's never met Misty. Again, I'll try to get the next chapter up as quickly as possible.

But don't think the cliffhangers are going to end anytime soon. No, no, I'm gonna be making a sequel! I won't tell you anything about it except the title: master's orders. Just wait-it's gonna be awesome!
