A/N: Finally. After a long wait of no internet and no access to a computer,
I can finally add this chapter. Sorry for the long wait, I couldn't use a
computer for almost 2 weeks. Anyways, here's chapter 5.
~
"Awesome! We're here!" I exclaimed, as I made a fist in the air. Pikachu looked excited for our first gym battle with the gym leader of Petalberg City, and I felt the same way too.
We were on the outskirts of the city, as usual because I usually tend to stand on the outskirts of cities. I just like the cool windy breeze to blow across my face. It surprises me that a few people actually view the city from up here. There's a great view from here and you can see most of the city.
"C'mon Pikachu, I'll race you down to the gym!" I challenged Pikachu and he accepted. He jumped off my shoulder, which he was sitting on and looked ready for the challenge.
"Okay. On your mark! Get set! G-" I was interrupted by the only person that happened to be traveling with me, May.
"Hold it! Don't go racing off again. It took me a while to catch up with you guys, and I'm not playing another game of 'let's go ditch May'. Can't we just walk?" She complained again for the millionth time.
I begin to giggle and Pikachu cracked up in laughter. I finally calmed down and agreed. "Okay May, we'll walk"

Ash introducing title: Pikachu vs. Vigoroth!
~
Pikachu, May, and I, entered a small park to relax. It was a small nice park. It had a small fountain in the center, a few benches around the fountain, some grassy areas a few feet from the benches, and big luxurious green trees that were placed in the grassy areas. The park's boundaries were 4 foot red bricks and it seemed pretty easy for someone to just climb over it.
I went to go lie down under one of the many trees and I was soon covered by cool nice shade. I wanted to take a nap so badly, that I forgot about Pikachu and May.
"You guys can do whatever you guys want in the park, just don't leave. I'm going to go take a short nap" I said to them sleepily and I pulled my hat down over my eyes.
"Actually, I have some business to go take care of, so I'll have to leave the park. I'll be back soon. I won't take that long" May replied to me, and I shot up out of my sleep and stood up very confused.
"Huh? What? Why?!" I asked even though I don't know why.
"Oh, just to go visit somewhere" She said to me and left the park.
"What was all that about Pikachu?" I ask my friend. He just nods and I sigh. "Well now that I'm up, I don't feel like sleeping anymore. C'mon. Let's go to the gym"
Pikachu and I leave the park to go to the gym. I figured that I can go look for May later after I have a match with the gym leader, whether I won or lost.
~
"Well, here we are Pikachu" I say to him and he just nods. "Ready to have your first gym battle?"
"Pika! (Yeah!)" Pikachu exclaims to me.
"Excellent. Now c'mon. Let's go inside." I Say before entering the gym.
The gym looked pretty small on the outside, but the inside was gigantic! I was in the arena area, but first I had to locate the gym leader.
"Now where is the gym leader?" I say to myself as I check several different rooms. I enter one of the rooms and I see a small boy with circular shaped glasses.
I observe the boy closer and I could tell he was younger than May and I. He had black hair which was combed back, almost touching his light green shirt but was touching his white collar. He was wearing Dark green shorts that went down to his knees and had green shoes on. He was apparently reading a book by-what the heck!?- Is that Professor Oak on the cover? I sneak closer to the boy to see who it was. It was Professor Oak on the cover. That book looks pretty new and that means, he might know that I tried to kill Professor Oak!
I turned a very white pale and I begin to exit out the room, when suddenly the boy turns around and notices me. I begin to panic and tried to run out, but something in my mind told me not to.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Are you another challenger to face?" The boy asks me. I begin to feel relieve until the buy starts to say something again.
"Wait a sec. You look like this kid in this picture of this book I was reading" He begins to look back into the book and starts flipping pages. I turn pale again and I feel a bit dizzy.
"Pikachu, be ready to get in defensive mode" I whisper to him. He nods and leaps off my shoulder.
"Ah ha! I finally know who you are!" The boy says. I was ready to order an attack until he says something else. "You're name is Ash Ketchum. You were born in pallet Town but was raised in New York. You finally came all the way here in Kanto, Japan to compete in the Indigo League, but apparently there was no more room. So you went to Hoenn to compete in the Hoenn League. More details to come"
I sigh a great amount of relieve. I guess the professor didn't spill the beans about me after all. But I wondered why he didn't. He had a chance to. I guess he didn't want me to get revenge or something. Whatever.
"So, do you know where the gym leader is?" I ask the boy and he nods.
"Yep. By the way, my name is Max." He says shaking my hand.
"And you already know my name" I say to him, shaking his hand back.
"So you wanna battle my dad, the gym leader? Well you have to pass this Pokemon Quiz I made myself. Get all the answers right and you pass. Miss 1 and you have to come back another day. Deal?" Max says to me.
I thought long and hard about what to do. Finally I decide. "Whatever. Fine with me"
"Okay. Number one. How many gym badges are needed to enter the Hoenn League?"
"8"
"Number 2. How many Kinds of Pokemon are there discovered so far?"
"Err... 384?"
"Wrong. 386"
"What no fair! How am I supposed to know all the legendaries?"
"Well you should have studied"
"No fair! I came here unprepared!"
"You should always be prepared!"
"This is stupid! I just wanna have a battle!"
Max and I were now arguing against the stupidest of things. Pikachu just sweat dropped and did nothing about it. We were putting out heads together trying to overcome the other head. It seemed pretty stupid to me but I didn't care. We were soon interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Oh hi Max. Hi Ash." That voice sounded so familiar. I stopped fighting with Max and went to see who it was. I turned to where I heard the voice and saw someone. That person happened to be May.
"Oh hi sis." Max said to her.
"What!? You mean she's your sister?" I asked disbelieving.
"Yeah. May's my sister" Max said as he took a seat on the ground. I took a seat right next to him. And May took one right next to me.
"So May. You never told me your father was the gym leader" I say to her in a dull voice. She just blushes and says nervously.
"I didn't want anybody to know" She says. Just then 2 adults walked into the room we were in and took a seat across from us.
"May. You're back from Professor Birch. Did you get your Pokemon?" The male adult asked her, which I assumed was her father.
"Yes I did. Oh yeah. Mom. Dad. I want you to meet Ash. I met him at Professor Birch's. I traveled with him, since we were going the same way." May said, introducing me.
"Yeah, and Professor Oak knows him too. Ash must be pretty famous to be in Professor Oak's books" Max added in. I blush in embarrassment.
"Oh May. This is wonderful. I didn't know you got a boyfriend" May's mom said. I didn't say anything but May just blushed.
"He's not my boyfriend. He's just a friend. And by the way he wanted to have a gym battle with you dad" May said, trying to end the subject. I was relieved that I can finally have a gym battle.
"Alright then" May's dad stood up. He helped me up and shook my hand. "Well Ash. My name is Norman and are you ready for your battle?"
"Yes. I'm ready when you are ready!" I say with great determination. He smiles at me.
"You know, I like you. You have great determination to do anything you want. I think you would be perfect for May" Norman says as he entered the area where the battle would be held. May blushed once again and we entered the arena. May and her brother and mother sat on a bench that was against the wall while Norman and I were facing each other.
"Let this be a one on one match" Norman says to me.
"Fine with me!" I say back to him. I only have Pikachu with me anyways.
"Vigoroth go!"
"Pikachu get ready!"
Norman's Pokemon, Vigoroth, stands before Pikachu and looked ready for battle.
"Let the match begin!"
