It wasn't just any normal morning for Ashley Ketchup, the youngest cousin
of the great pokemon master Ash Ketchum. Nope, it wasn't. She immediately
jumped out of bed to get dressed. Her usual attire was a white t-shirt,
denim overalls and the red cap that Ash senior wore on his journey.
Before she left the room, she heard the sound of pebbles hitting her window. She walked over and opened it and unfortunately, a larger stone hit her square on the face. She prepared to curse at the attacker until she heard the familiar voice of her life-long friend, Jolly Raindrops, "Hurry up, Ash! The professor wants to see both of us. We're finally going to be authorised Pokemon trainers!"
That made her even more eager to go. She rushed downstairs only to be greeted by her parents. "Good morning, Ash." Ash managed a really fast speech before she dashed out the door, "Mom-dad. I'm-going-to-see-Professor- Oak-because-I-am-finally-going-to-be-a-pokemon-trainer. I-will-eat-later- on,-okay? Bye-bye."
"What took you so long, Ash? I was already going to leave without you," said Jolly. She was wearing her trademark red dress with a pokeball logo and her two ponytails tied up with black ribbons.
"Nothing. Why are you up so early? You usually stay up late studying for one of my cousin's super-hard surprise quizzes." Ash senior was a teacher at Cream County's local school. He taught P.E. (Pokemon Education)
"What can I say?" she shrugged. "I'm a very disciplined girl."
When they both arrived at Professor Oak's new laboratory here in Cream County, they said hello to each and every one of his lab assistants. They went downstairs to his private office where Misty worked as his secretary. Misty was Ash senior's wife and Jolly's cousin.
"Hey guys!" She smiled warmly at Ash and Jolly. "Professor Oak's inside waiting for you. Go on in."
Ash glanced at Jolly. "Let's go!" Ash shouted excitedly.
The white doors opened to reveal a smoky atmosphere. "Misty, Misty! Get the extinguisher. The pokemon are going crazy. They're playing with the wires and fuses in all my machines," came Professor Oak's panicked screams.
Misty didn't go to retrieve the extinguisher. Instead, she summoned her pokemons Squirtle, Starmie and Staryu who used watergun to stop the fire. "Are you okay, professor?" She rushed to his side.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Misty." He stopped and looked at the frightened pre-teens. "Oh, Ash, Jolly. So nice of you to come down. Here to visit? Well, that's nice. But it's quite dangerous here so why don't you two skedaddle on home, now."
"Um, actually professor. Ash and Jolly are here to receive their Poke I.D.s and pokemon so that they can go on their journey," Misty explained.
"Oh yes. I forgot. Sorry I'm getting a little old and my memory isn't as good as it used to be. When I was young, my looks were almost as good as my memory and when." Misty cut him off as the pokemon trainers-to-be giggled.
"Oh alrightie then. I'm afraid we only have two pokemon for you to choose and they aren't very obedient considering the way they have wrecked my lab. They are both however legendary pokemon and extremely rare. Jolly, since you are Misty's cousin, why don't you have the first pick?" Professor Oak said.
The two pokemon running around popped up in front of the professor as soon as he snapped his fingers. One of them looked like a small pink fur ball with a white cotton-like tail. The other one looked even weirder. It was brown and yellow. It looked like a reptile but a rock at the same time.
It was blindingly obvious that Jolly would choose the cute pink one over the brown one. "I'll take the pink one! By the way, what's its name?" Jolly asked.
"Oh. It's a relative of jigglypuff. A very rare species this is, it's uh, uh. Peaypuff. That's right." Peaypuff jumped right into the arms of Jolly and snuggled. "One reminder Jolly, like Jigglypuff, Peaypuff can only evolve with the power of the moonstone which is not very easy to find." He then turned to Ash. "I suppose you're stuck with Roketan then. He may not be the subtlest but he is strong. But evolving him is going to be a very hard task."
Ash's expression changed from excited to worried. "Exactly how hard is it going to be?"
"Well. there are ancient records saying that Roketan can be evolved but either than that, there's no existing proof at all. You have to find something called the starstone which is practically a legend." Ash was now afraid. How could she get through the three pokemon leagues without her pokemon evolving?
Suddenly, the doors burst open, "Brother!" someone who sounded like Professor Oak shouted.
"Could it be? Maple? Oh my! Long time no see," Both the old men hugged as if they have not met for ages.
Behind Professor Maple was a short young boy smirking and tossing and catching a pokeball.
