M.R: Okay this is the first chapter of the Pokémon story right?
S.R: Yes, now before we begin this chapter there is one thing we need to do…
Both: We do not, we repeat do not own Pokémon… Well we have a few of the games, but we don't own the anime or the characters we've used in this story.
S.R: Now then…Ash doesn't wear a hat in this story. Anyway, TO THE STORY!
ASH'S POV
I heard my alarm clock going off. For a moment I groggily thought about ignoring it. But then I remembered what Today is. Jumping up from my bed I sped to the bathroom for a quick shower. I dried myself off and then used one hand to dry my hair with my towel while brushing my teeth with the other. Once I was done I quickly ran to my room to get dressed. I pulled on a fresh pair of underwear, a pair of black pants, and a blue t-shirt with a pokeball design on the front. I put a pair of socks on and made my way downstairs calling out good morning to my mom while she made breakfast. I put my shoes and jacket on as I made my way out into the garden and sat down to meditate for a bit like my dad had shown me when he taught me how to use aura.
After a little while I heard mom putting breakfast on our plates, so I stood up and stretched. Knowing she would be mad at me if I had my jacket or my tennis shoes on at the table I took them off and sat down at the table waiting for breakfast.
"Morning Sweetie" Mom said placing a plate in front of me as she moved to sit down with her plate. I waited politely for her to sit before digging in, wanted her to know how much I appreciate her. After eating quickly I told her I'd be back to grab my bag and say goodbye, before walking out the door and making my way over to professor Oak's lab.
"Good morning professor" I called out after knocking on his lab door. A few seconds later the door was opened by the professor, who then led me to the presentation room he had set up for trainers to receive their starters in. Professor Oak then proceeded to tell me good morning and congratulate me for starting my Pokémon journey today.
"Professor, I know that counting Gary and I there are four people who are supposed to be receiving a starter Pokémon today. I'm willing to let Gary and the other two pick the regular starters." I told the professor because I hadn't been able to decide which one I wanted. He smiled at me and said that was pretty swell of me, but warned me the only other Pokémon he could give as a starter was untamed as it had only been caught recently. Nodding my head at his warning, I reminded him that I could use Aura and knew how to form Aura bonds.
With that done he hit a special switch that opened up a room full of Pokeballs. He grabbed one of the ones closest to the door. Before he handed the ball to me I noticed that there was a thunderbolt sticker on it, signifying that it was an electric type Pokémon. Closing my eyes in thought over the fact the professor said the Pokémon had yet to be tamed, and that it was electric type I let out a sigh. I opened my eyes and released the Pokémon, which upon seeing I instantly knew to be a Pikachu. I slowly raised my hands as it's attention was directed at me. Showing the Pikachu I meant no harm, I slowly moved in a non-threatening manner until I had a hand placed on its head.
I then using my Aura, shared my emotions and thoughts with the Pikachu showing it that I just wanted to be friends. After a few seconds the Pikachu moved it's head so that we made eye contact. After staring at each other for a few seconds Pikachu nodded it's head and I created a full Aura bond with it. Letting it settle before using the bond to say 'Hi there Pikachu. I'm Ash' as I moved my hand away from it's head. Pikachu smiled at me, jumping up onto my shoulder responding through our bond 'Hi Ash.' I smiled back at Pikachu, before receiving a national Pokedex from the professor as a special gift due to being an assistant to him for the past few years. He also gave me five regular Pokeballs and the one Pikachu was in. After seeing Pikachu back away from the Pokeball I decided to let it stay out of the Pokeball. Speaking out loud I looked at Pikachu and asked if I could scan it with the Pokedex, receiving a nod.
"Pikachu, the mouse Pokémon. It can generate electric attacks from the electric pouches located in both of its cheeks. This Pikachu is male. It's ability is Lightning Rod. It knows the moves Tackle, Thunder Wave, Thunder Shock, and Quick Attack. It's egg move Volt Tackle hasn't been activated yet" the Pokedex stated. I turned my head to look at Pikachu as I told him that he was pretty strong. Pikachu puffed his chest up a little at the compliment, but then I told him that together we'd make him even stronger. "Pika!" Pikachu called out in excitement. I thanked professor Oak, and took my leave of the lab to head home and grab my bag. Before I got through the front door however I was tackled with a hug by mom who had begun crying.
"My baby boy's leaving home!" she wailed as I hugged her and tried to comfort her. Finally after a few minutes she calmed down enough to properly say goodbye after I grabbed my bag.
"Don't worry mom, I won't be alone I've got Pikachu with me." I told mom with a smile. She nodded at that and a few minutes later Pikachu and I had left Pallet town and were standing in route 1. Taking a deep breath I went to step forward and start my journey but was distracted by a cawing sound. Looking up I saw a breath taking sight. It was a Ho-oh, flying overhead blessing my journey.
