Chapter 1: The day the proverbial shit hit the fans.

It was a normal day in Pallet Town. The Sun was shining brightly, the Pidgeys were getting their asses kicked by their much more viable Kanto playthrough counterparts- The Spearows and Gary Oak and his gang was getting ready to terrorize the town.

Speaking of Gary Oak's gang, there were only three children in it so calling them a gang was a bit of a stretch but since he wished to be addressed as a gang, we shall be calling them as such. Gary, the grandson of the legendary Professor Oak was the undisputed leader of the bunch. There were rumors that he secured the position using candies that his dad brought but that was just a rumor spread by kids who were jealous of his unparalleled charm. Other than that, he was like every other kid on the block with a rather impressive talent for throwing a tantrum to get what he wanted. Although this talent was nerfed now due to the birth of his little sister Daisy, he still could use it once in a fortnight or so.

Leaf Green whose name may or may not create copyright issues if we were to name something after it IRL, was the self-proclaimed elder sister of the group. Like all good elder siblings, she was the first to turn tails when things went south, opting to valiantly sacrifice her lacke-- little brothers to avoid the first wave of anger from their parents.

Ash Ketchum was the third and final member of the gang and was the henchmen of the bunch (not self-proclaimed by the way). He was a dumb kid whose only redeeming quality being his disgustingly high ability to connect with just about anything on an emotional level. He had a heart wider than the Kanto sea and a brain as empty as the number of new Fire-type Pokemon introduced in Sinnoh.

The gang's usual acts of domestic terrorism include but not limited to Disturbing Professor Oak's work and demand that he play with them, go across the houses in the town, and collect protection fees (candy) from the residents, trying to make the local Pokemon statues look more artistic (aka Vandalism) and trying to capture local wild Pokemon with nets, clothes or even mouse traps. When they are finally captured, Leaf would pull a disappearing act, Gary would start throwing tantrums and Ash would apologize even though he himself had no idea why.

All said and done, the Townfolks were rather fond of the three idiots who kept the otherwise quiet town rowdy, leading to the trio getting lukewarm gazes from the residents when they were being dragged by their parents back home which pissed Gary off for some reason.

Anyways, on such a regular day, we reach the Ketchum house where our story begins. Speaking about the Ketchum household, there were currently three members in it including our protagonist. Richard Ketchum, the dad(?) of the house was (an extra emphasis on the was part) a Pokemon trainer but he for the lack of a better term, sucked at it. Delia Ketchum, the mom of the house used to be an assistant of Professor Oak and was quite good at it. She was extremely beautiful and intelligent, so much that people still had doubts about how Richard managed to land someone like her. Alas, love is blind and Richard landed himself a 10/10 (Go explode you ducking normie!!)

Now since Delia had a working brain and our protagonist needed to inherit his dumbassery from somewhere, Richard magnanimously stepped up for the task. Once he had a stroke of genius where he planned on leaving his wife and then 2-month-old son behind and go on a journey to be the very best like no one ever was. But he ended up facing his real test that same night and his cause ended up changing. A door to a new world was opened to the young couple and a mysterious new item named CW made its way into the Ketchum household budget but we shan't talk about that.

Breakfast in the Ketchum household was a grand affair. Both father and son were bottomless abysses when it came to food which Delia was more than happy to provide. Since Richard had made a fortune by doing businesses that Delia recommended to him, the household finances was more than stable enough to support their grand life. Richard was a tall dude with black hair and blue eyes. Since he burned off the excess energy he gained in the gym, he was really buff which gave him the aura of a manly man.

Ash on the other hand was five. He properly inherited his black hair from his father along with his brain but his brown eyes were quite similar to his mother's. Since his body didn't produce enough testosterone for muscle building, his brain decided to invest all the extra energy points into the height attribute making him the tallest kid around.

"Mom I'm done." Ash, in a typical Ash fashion, yelled out after finishing his third serving.

"Okay honey. Put the plates on the sink for mom." Delia, who was eating her own food replied.

Richard, who was on his fourth serving smugly looked down on his son like a king looking down on his subjects and got smacked in the head with a frying pan for his efforts.

"I'm going out to play." After properly placing the plates in the sink lest he anger his mother, Ash walked out of the house.

"Take care, honey."

The stroll through Pallet town was a smooth one for Ash. He greeted everyone he came across properly and moved towards the outer edge of the town where Gary and Leaf were supposed to meet up with him to capture a few Pidgeys. What he didn't know was that due to some miraculous reason, both of them were out with a cold.

Anyways, Ash reached the small Brooklet overlooking the town which flowed into the ocean a few dozen kilometers down the line. The Brooklet was surrounded by small hills and there was a small forest nearby. It was inhabited by a small amount of Magikarps and Goldeens with the odd Psyduck and Seaking popping up here and there.

After waiting for ten minutes, Ash who had the attention span of a headless chicken started to feel bored. He decided to best his own hill-climbing speed record before the others arrived. He started running up the tallest hill around which was not very steep and reached halfway to the top when he stepped on a loose pebble and lost his footing.

In a fluid rotating motion that would put even the most experienced of Sandshrews to shame, Ash started rolling down the hill. His rolling speed reached terminal velocity as he was about to crash into a tree when in a miraculous series of events, the tree opened up and swallowed the rolling figure.

After his splendid rotation came to an abrupt stop, Ash sat up and checked his surroundings out. He was in a lab with a large number of contraptions lying around. Since he had no idea what they did, he left them alone and tried to find the way out like a normal person. He walked around for a few minutes until he came across something strange. In a corner of the lab, there was a book. It was a pitch-black book that stood out from the rest of its surroundings no matter how you looked at it. Hell, there were even a few golden torches pointed at it while a recorder played a triumphant theme in the background which emphasized the book even more.

Normally, a normal person who comes across such a spectacle would think about traps but (un)luckily, 5-year-old Ash had no notion about the concept of traps. Like every other kid who finds a shiny new toy in the wild, Ash was quick to take possession of the book from its pedestal.

With his current dilemma of being lost forgotten, Ash decided to read his new book. Since Ash was a super-duper intelligent boy (his words, not mine) he was able to read a book for the most part.

The title of the book was "How to train your Pokémon." He opened the book and read what was written on the first page.

Rejoice, puny mortal! You have obtained the Great One's guide for training Pokémon. You will now become the greatest Pokémon trainer of all time whether you like it or not. Do you understand?

"Okay." The implications of what was written were lost to the five-year-olds head. He had latched onto the phrase "The greatest Pokémon trainer of all time." You see, Ash had a dream. He wanted to become a Pokémon trainer like his dad. He often told him stories about his grand adventures and how great of a trainer he was (Press X to doubt). So he wanted to be like his dad.

Good. The Great One in his limitless wisdom understands that you are still a child. As such, the Great One's words shall be tailored for your intelligence level. Now here is the first thing. To your left, you should be able to see a big red button. Go ahead and press it.

"Okay."

When he pushed the button, six hatches nearby opened suddenly and inside them were what looked like eggs. Now Ash was no stranger to eggs having eaten a few for breakfast, these ones were just strange. They were big, so big that they were half the size of his entire body. He read the book for guidance.

The eggs that are in front of you are the results of the Great One's meticulous research. They have a perfect IV, Nature etc... stuff that we shall discuss on another day. Rejoice, for they are yours from now on. Now the Great One in his limitless compassion understands that a puny child such as you wouldn't be able to carry them. Near the eggs, there is a big green button. Go and press it.

Ash did as he was told and all the eggs were sucked into a Purple Pokeball that appeared from another hatch.

The ball you see is called an egg ball and it should be enough for you to carry the eggs to your house. Know that the Great One did this because he took pity on you and not because the Great One was worried about you, okay? Now that we are done here, a new door will open now which shall lead you back home. The Great One shall begin your training tomorrow.

Ash entered the elevator that showed up where there was previously a brick wall and like every kid who finds new stuff, he ran to his parents who got the shock of their lives. Things soon got hectic in Pallet Town which lead to an unfortunate set of events happening that ended with Professor Oak having to let Ash keep the eggs all the while finding some for Gary and Leaf as well.

Sup people. This is just a small story idea that I had which I decided to publish so that I could get back in the groove. The other stories might take a while to update but I haven't dropped them. Anyways, If you liked the premise of this story, feel free to fav or follow it.

See ya.
