Welcome to my story that might change the way you look at Pokemon. Hope you
enjoy it.

"Chapter 1: Catching Up"
(Narration): Life: a mystery to one and all who share it. Oh, I'm sorry. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Professor Samuel Oak. I'm a Pokémon Researcher. I have dedicated my life to studying the mysteries of Pokémon. The greatest mystery of all, the one all Pokémon Researchers hope to one- day answer, is the origins of Pokémon. Where did they come from? Some believe they evolved from simpler lifeforms here on Earth. Others believe they were placed on this planet by a higher power. Still others believe Pokémon arrived here from outer space. All theories are plausible and are being thoroughly studied. Still, you never know when one of life's greatest mysteries will present its answer to you when you least expect it. That is where our story begins....
"It's coming," a voice echoed in the darkness. "It's coming..."
"Ash Ketchum, wake up this second, you're going to be late for school!" Delia Ketchum shouted from the hallway, just outside her son's room. 17- year old Ash woke up slowly, still half-asleep.
"Pika!" Pikachu said, trying to encourage Ash to move faster.
"I'm up, I'm up," he said, rubbing his eyes as they adjusted to the morning sunlight. "Man, what a weird dream."
Ash got up out of his bed began to get dressed. Just as he was pulling his t-shirt over his head, the phone rang, surprising Ash and causing him to fall the the floor.
"Ring ring ring! Ring ring ring! Phone call! Phone call!" the videophone said.
"I hate that phone," Ash said, climbing back to his feet to finish dressing. He turned on the audio function on the phone.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Yo Ash, you awake?" a female voice on the other end said.
"Just barely," the groggy Ash said.
"Where are you?" she asked. "Put the visual on!"
"Just hold on a sec, I'm getting dressed."
"Well, if you insist."
Ash finished putting on his clothes and turned on the video. Misty's face came up on the screen.
"Looking good, sweetie," Misty said. "I like the messy-hair look."
"Thanks," Ash said sarcastically. "What do you want?"
"Just wanted to let you know I'm coming down this afternoon to see you, after my gym battle this morning."
"Why?"
"Why?! Because I'm your girlfriend and I haven't seen you in months, that's why!"
"Whoa, okay."
"That's better. Brock says he wants to come down for the weekend as well, so I'm going to pick him up on the way."
"Cool, I'll see you then."
"Have a nice day at school. Bye!"
The screen went blank as Misty hung up on her end. Ash proceeded to head downstairs for breakfast. He was greeted by a piece of toast being shoved into his face by his mom.
"Here!" she said. "You're going to be late, get going!"
"Okay, okay," Ash said, quickly eating the toast and heading out the door. "Bye mom, bye Pikachu!" Delia Ketchum and Pikachu waved bye to Ash as he set off towards school. He was getting pretty tired of going to school, actually. It was very boring compared to his previous years of Pokémon journeys and gym battles. But, a promise was a promise. His mom wanted him to finish school, so that's what he was going to do. Graduation wasn't too far off, so he figured he could take it.
"Just a few more weeks," he said, and started to run off towards school.
