The Pokemon World Cup
Introduction
Four years since he started his journey, Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town has finally made it to the Pokemon World Cup, the biggest Pokemon tournament in the world and the top event in the calendar. With help from his friends/coaches Misty and Brock he collected the 12 badges needed to qualify for the tournament. Now he has to defeat 31 other players in order to become the Pokemon World Champion and enter into the Hall of Fame as a Pokemon Master. The biggest challenge of Ash's life is finally here...
Chapter 1: The Group Arrives
It was a bright sunny afternoon as we followed the bus taking Ash and the 31 other contenders to the Pokemon Village to register and prepare for tonight's opening ceremony of the Pokemon World Cup. At about 3pm, the bus finally arrived at it's destination and everyone got off. Ash, Misty and Brock entered a large reception hall with desks in the middle and people getting themselves registered as contenders. They walked up to one of the desks.
'My name is Ash Ketchum and these are my friends Misty and Brock,' said Ash. 'OK, now I need to see your Pokedex please Ash' said the receptionist. Ash handed over his Pokedex. The receptionist scanned it and Ash was registered. He was then given a set of keys for their lodge that they were to spend the next month or so in. 'OK, thank you' said Ash.
'Don't forget the opening ceremony is tonight at 8pm.' said the receptionist.
They all went out of the building and took the short walk to their lodge. Theirs was in a group of three and when they got there they found their next-door neighbour unlocking the door to his lodge. 'Hello, I'm Ash' said Ash. 'And I'm Misty and he's Brock' said Misty. 'Oh, hi guys, I'm Thomas' said the boy as he walked into the house. 'I'll speak to you later. Nice to meet you guys' said Thomas. 'Well he seems alright' said Brock. 'I hope so. We've gotta live next door to him for the next month' said Misty.
They went into their lodge and for about a minute stood by the front door oohing and aahing at the look of the place. They walked into a hallway with stairs to their left, leading up to the bedrooms. Just ahead of them were several doors leading into the kitchen/dining area and the lounge. Brock went straight into the kitchen to prepare their food as there were just four hours until the opening ceremony. Misty and Ash went up to their rooms to make their beds and unpack their stuff. 'Food's ready in about an hour!' Brock called up from the kitchen.
An hour later, they all settled down for some food. After they finished that they went back upstairs to get ready for the journey to the stadium for the opening ceremony.
That's the first chappie up...now, to wait for the reviews to start flowing in...
