Greetings from me to you! I thank you all for your reviews, favorites, and follows! I'm glad that you would all like to read this. I am glad you have enjoyed it so far. So I have another chap for you! I (technically) have not thought of anything to continue, yet I have. I write as I think. That's how I write most of the time. Thank you all for supporting me through my second story, even though I only started, what, less than a week ago?
I hope you enjoy this awaited chapter! ;-)
PS. I do NOT own any of the Pokémon franchise. It would be nice to, but then Pokémon would surely die by my ideas (or lack of them). Enjoy!

When the plane finally landed in Kanto in the city of Viridian City, Ash walked off the plane with Pikachu on his shoulder. He had his backpack flung over his shoulder, as he was in a hurry to leave. He was glad he did not have any extra luggage, for he saw a very large group at the baggage pick-up. He knew the Professor would pick him up out front of the airport, so he waked outside.
Ash remembered some of the times he had spent in this city. "Hey Pikachu, do you remember that time when we went here when we first started off?"
Pikachu replied (in Pokespeech of course), "Of course I do! How can I forget anything we do together, Ash?"
Ash chuckled. "Point taken. But now let's try to get to the Professor! He can't be that far, can he?"
Ash should've stayed.
He went out into town because he did not see the Professor's car anywhere. After a complete hour of searching, he just decided to walk back home. It didn't take that long last time.
He just hoped he wasn't ambushed again.
He soon made it to Route 1, and he walked on the path to Pallet, remembering the beginning of his journey with Pikachu. Sure, their bond wasn't strong at all then, but thanks to both Ash's willingness to protect his Pokémon and Pikachu's Thundershock attack strengthened by lightning, their bond truly started to grow.
Ash then made it to Pallet. The air was so fresh, with the scent of grass in the air…
But Ash knew it wasn't the time for that. No, he had to get to the lab. Professor Oak was waiting after all.
As he walked up to the lab, he began to grow anxious. He wondered why the Professor could possibly want him. Frankly, he had no clue. Pikachu didn't either, and said so. So, none of them knew what was going to be next, but they anticipated it nonetheless.
Ash opened the door to the lab to find the professor that called him pacing the room while all of the other professors from the different regions were sitting on multiple different pieces of furniture spread across the room in no noticeable pattern. Professor Elm from Johto was sitting on a chair near Oak with a contemplative look on his face, and didn't seem to pay much attention to anything at the moment. Professor Birch from Hoenn was sitting on a two seater couch found on one side of the room, trying to calm down Professor Rowan, who was sitting next to him and was quite flustered for some reason. Both Professor Juniper from the Unova Region were also here. The older Juniper was trying his best to calm the worried Oak while the younger Juniper was having a pleasant chat with Professor Sycamore of the Kalos Region to pass the time. They were currently talking about… Ash and his Pokémon?! They were sitting on a three seater couch on the opposite side of Birch and Rowan.
No one noticed Ash enter. Everyone was too busy with… something, but Ash wondered what they were worried about. He waited for ten minutes to see if anyone one would notice him. No one did, not even a glance. So Ash said aloud, "Pikachu, it looks like they need a little encouragement. They're not even noticing us!"
All of the professors turned around to Ash, suddenly aware he was there with a strangely sparking Pikachu on his shoulder. It took a split second to realize what Ash meant and tried to get away…
But they were far too late.
"Pi-ka-CHUUUUU!" Everyone in the room (except Ash and Pikachu of course) were shocked out of their lab coats (literally, as they threw them off to prevent getting more static than necessary). Then they all landed on the floor, paralyzed with comical swirls in their eyes. Ash and Pikachu couldn't help but laugh at the scene, as the professors all had afros due to the electricity. After laughing for a few minutes, they decided to get to work on helping he professors up and making sure they were okay.

After everyone was decent, they all returned to their seats. Professor Oak went to an armchair near the center of the room, near a small table. Elder Juniper went to sit next to his daughter on the sofa.
Ash himself found nowhere to sit, so he leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, still with a smirk on his face after what transpired. Pikachu decided to go to the kitchen to look for ketchup. Oh that beloved ketchup…
After everyone was seated (or in Ash's case leaning), Oak decided to say something. "Well, that was quite shocking my boy! I was worried when I didn't see you at the airport when I came to pick you up. We were afraid something happened to you."
Ash replied, "Well, I guess it was my fault. You see, I left the airport as soon as possible so I could find you, but I didn't so I walked from Viridian."
Oak and some of the other professors gained relieved expressions on their faces after learning nothing bad really happened. Oak continued however by saying, "But now is not the time to be catching up, my boy. We have very grave matters on our hands…"
"And you seem to be the center of it all, it looks like."

Another chapter DONE! Yay! Sorry for the cliffhanger, but I wanted to deliver this to you guys. For those of you also reading Immortal Hearts- don't worry, I'll do another chap soon. Just gotta get some ideas. I will just be working on these fics for now, but I have plans on more later on. Let me know if there is something you guys really want to see, and I'll see if I can write it. Don't worry, Ash will be going to Ransei soon, but…
What is Ash a part of? Why do the professors need to talk to him about it? What exactly do they mean? Please, review and comment! Looking forward to the next chapter!
Mew: Thank you all!
What Mew sa- wait a sec, MEW?! What are you doing here? Aren't you, you know, supposed to be at the Tree of Life or something?
Mew: I came here with a very important message for you readers out there. (grins evilly). Ash will get- (muffled due to my hand covering Mew's mouth).
Mew… No spoilers! I want my readers to anticipate the next thing. If they know anything too early, the story would be ruined! How do you know what'll happen next, anyway?
Mew, now without my hand in front of its mouth: (grins mischievously) I. See. ALL! And… Arceus may have told me…?
Arceus doesn't know either… Wait. Have you inferred what my story may be like by reading my journal?!
Mew: Ummm… Maybe…?
You are so dead, Mew! (I borrow Paolini's magic from the Inheritance Cycle and proceed to probe Mew's mind) Before I look into Mew's mind and erase it, I have one thing to say to you all still reading…
I hope to catch you all later! Not in Pokeballs, but reading! Please review! Criticize me if you want. I'm only just beginning. Now Mew, stay still….
(Mew gains a scared look on its face, as it knows it cannot escape its fate)
