Chapter 1
TWO YEARS LATER
Ash looked out at the thick and lush green forest. The summer breeze blew calmly as a few Pidgey's chirped and a pair of Rattata played happily . The air felt warm and relaxing. Unmoving, Ash continued to stare out into the open sky. He then noticed a few dark clouds were forming in the distance. Suddenly a huge gust of wind blew in blowing leaves and the hanging wind chime around.
" Looks like a storm's coming." Ash said to Pikachu.
The little yellow mouse perked its ears up then sniffed the warm air. It looked out at the clouds and sniffed again.
" Pika." It murmured as it settled back into the porch bench and drifted once again into sleep.
" We could use some rain." Said Ash.
Pikachu suddenly perked its ears back up and turned to the front door. It then jumped up and walked inside.
" Where're you going Pikachu?" Ash called.
He then heard the faint voice of his mother calling him. Quickly he followed Pikachu inside. He walked into the living room where his mother sat talking in front off the vid-phone.
" Oh, and he'll be so glad to see you.oh here he is now." Ash's mom said as she moved aside. Ash looked into the screen and recognized a familiar face. He had somewhat long black hair and brown eyes. He also wore a familiar red band around his head.
" Tracey?" Ash asked.
" Ash!" Tracy said with a smile that turned into a perplexed look. " You look different." He added.
Ash smiled at the remark and realized it had been a few years since he last saw Tracey. He was a few noticeable inches taller and had shortened his messy black hair causing it to spike up a bit.
" .And you look.pretty much the same." Ash trailed off.
" Well.how've yah been?" Tracey asked. " Uh.fine, you?"
" Can't complain." Tracey scratched his head. " Uh.Listen.I'm calling because the Professor needs you to get here right away."
" What?, get to where?, where are you?"
" Indigo Plateau." He answered.
" What'er yah doing over there?"
" A meeting regarding the next league competition is going on and your invited." Tracey moved aside revealing the League building in the back round. " The Elite Four and some of the greatest researchers and trainers are going to be here."
" What's the meeting about?"
" Don't know; Professor Oak wouldn't tell me; all he said to me was that I should send for you."
" Okay.I'll be there as soon as I can I guess." Ash said still curious.
" I'll let the Professor know then." Tracey casually smiled. " Good to see you again Ash."
" Likewise Tracey."
Ash clicked the phone off and turned to his mom pondering what the meeting is about.
" I'm glad your going son; I thought you could use some activity; you've been spending to much time training around here alone."
" Maybe.I guess."
" Of course you have." She replied sternly. " You haven't even spoken to your friends in ages."
" There's a good reason for that Mom."
Ash stood up sharply and motioned for Pikachu to come to him. The little mouse trotted over to him and climbed on to his shoulder.
" Lets go pack real quick buddy." Ash said to Pikachu.
They both disappeared upstairs together. After twenty minutes or so they came back down. Ash was still dropping pokeballs into his bag as he approached his mother.
" Do you need to take all of your pokemon with you?" She asked. " When was the last time you've seen me not take all of them with me?"
" Alright, be careful then."
Ash walked out the door. He started to head over to the side of the house when he noticed the sky was full of dark clouds. He looked in aw as he wondered how those distant clouds managed to blanket the sky so quickly. Ignoring them he unlocked the door to his jeep and hopped in.
" Lets go see what this is about Pikachu."
Ash drove off on the dusty brown road as lightning streaked across the sky.
