**Pokemon Transilation**
Thought
Gear? Check. Money? Check. Pokemon? Check. One last look at my hometown? 16 year old Ash Ketchum sighed, both sad, and happy. He took a look at Pallet town and could help but laugh. It was good to be on the road again. He might not be with his friends, but being on the road and seeing the world in all it's glory... it might just be what his life was missing for the past few days.
A few months before hand, Ash was drawn into a depressed state, feeling as if his life was missing something. It wasn't until he had an awsome Pokemon battle with Gary that he realized something. It might have been adventure, the thrill of battle, danger, exitement and humor that he was missing. So, with some made plans, 4 years worth of battling money, a model 2000 convertable and some camping gear, Ash began a new journey. When he expalaned it to his mother, he told her that he just wanted to do some soul searching. His mother didn't argue it and in fact told Ash that it would be best to wait for this date to do it.
So, Ash turned around and got in his car. Pikachu ran up and sat on Ash's shoulder as he got in the drivers side. **Ready to go Ash?** the eletric mouse asked.
"Yup little buddy. From here on out, it's open roads, open fire meals and noterioty of the kind no one has heard of! Pikachu, let us begin this great adventure!" Ash then threw back his head and laughed. His raven black hair flew back as they drove off.
**Hey, I know, if we are going to go on an adventure, what's an adventure without some mountian climbing gear? I mean for you. I can climb anything.** Pikachu suggested.
"Ya know, not a bad idea, but where could we find a store with climbing gear in it?"
**Well I remember a place in Cerulean that has some climbing equipment!**
"Well then...TO CERULEAN WE GO!"
Brock Granite was beat. After having to play with his brothers and sisters all day, all he wanted to do was sit down and think of girls. Well he did that anyways all the time, but hey, he was Brock and Brock was Brock. (Authors Comment: Betcha Didn't get that did ya?) He walked down the street to the Pokemon Center to get some food for his Steelix. The sun was just setting in the west, bathing everything in a fiery red light. It was this same light by which Brock, Misty, Ash and May all parted ways, the guys with huge grins and the girls almost bawling in tears.
Brock had to laugh. Sometimes he had to admit, life wasn't anyfun without listening to Ash's stupidity or getting lost because of him. Or hearing the arguments between Misty and Ash. He knew that Misty really loved Ash from the bottom of her heart but because of her attitude, she was afraid of telling him.
Brock walked inside the Poke Mart and began to look in the rock asle when he heard it.
"So Pikachu, what did you say you wanted again?" came a voice over in the electric asle. Brock shook his head. Pure crazyness. If he didn't know any better he would have thought that was Ash's voice. He laughed quietly to himself but stopped when the voice replied, "Gotcha. Extra batteries...don't know why, but hey, you must have your reasons. Hey, Pikachu, imagine seeing Brock here! HAHAHAHA!" the voice laughed. Brock's eyes went wide and he grined. He snuck around the corner and looked. He was right. Ash Ketchum in all his foolish glory standing there with three packs of batteries and a dopy smile on his face. Brock quietly snuck up behind Ash and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Yello? Can I help...HOLY HO-OH! Brock Granite or my eyes have already gone the way of the old Ketchums! Brocko!" Ash and Brock high fived and grined at one another.
"How have you been Ash! And why of all places are you here buying batteries?"
"Well the batteries are Pikachu's Idea and as for why I'm here...well...it's a long story..."
"Well...come over to my house and we can talk about it there?"
"Well Brocko...I might just take up that idea!"
"One question for Pikachu...Why the batteries?"
**Well...if you must know...it's an attractor to a female...** Pikachu laughed nervously as Brock and Ash guffawed.
