Pallet town, a quaint town in southern Kanto while the general population is small the locals more than make up with it with the kindness they show each other.Here lies the the lab of the famous Professor Oak one of the most famous professors in the world.In the Ketchum Residence is a young man by the name of Ash Ketchum who was one of four Pallet trainers to start their journey the very next day,his Journey would be like no other encountering many different kinds of pokemon and even legendaries truly something special.

Is what would normally happen…

Tobin woke up actually feeling refreshed which was a little odd for normally when he wakes up he is normally extremely groggy as high school as you know sucks.As the sunlight peered through the window as he pulled off the covers, stretched a bit and proceeded to fall off the bed.

"OW!"Tobin said, now fully awake as he rubbed the sore part of his head as he took a look around his room and his blood turned cold.

This room wasn't his normal room as his bed was high off the ground and there was an old poster filled with the Kanto starters, a medium sized Snorlax plush on the ground and an old fashioned TV box on a table.

Tobin was hyperventilating at this point trying so hard not to completely panic as this was really freaky had he been kidnapped in his sleep? Or in a coma? He instinctively takes some steps back as ran towards the window to see where the hell he was.

He looked out to see a small town and some weird looking birds…

"Wait a minute…ARE THOSE PIDGEY!?"Tobin practically screamed out to the heavens and back as he gawked at the mere sight of a living breathing Pokemon in front of him he had to be dreaming at this point as this was essentially impossible that he was seeing a Pokemon even one as common as Pidgey in the flesh.

His rapid breathing intensifies as he struggles to find a logical explanation for this as he rushed to the nearest bathroom and washed his face praying that this was a really realistic dream.

"What the hell is happening? Pokemon just don't show up out of nowhere,"Tobin said as he finally got to look at his reflection.

Green and yellow Pajamas.

Unkempt Spiky black hair.

Lightning shaped birthmarks…

He was Ash Ketchum and screamed his lungs out and fully panicked as a million questions circled through his head.

"Ash dear, are you ok!"Delia said, rushing into the bathroom in a yellow robe and pink night dress.

Tobin looked up at the woman who he recognized as Delia Ketchum who was Ash's mom in the anime even though while he was in this body she was technically his mom now this is gonna be awkward later.

"I'm fine mom just had a really bad nightmare,"Tobin said only now recognizing that he was speaking in Ash's voice and it wasn't even his original series voice but his Advanced generation voice welp he wasn't complaining about that.

Delia hugged her 'son' and patted him on the head as Tobin just felt more Awkward but nonetheless accepted the hug as he couldn't just not do it.

"Do you wanna talk about it over breakfast? I made your favorite considering it is your special day,"Delia said with a smile.

In typical anime fashion Tobin's stomach let out a large growl as Delia giggled at this.

"Sure… mom,"Tobin said, still getting used to calling her that this was gonna take awhile.

The duo then got properly dressed and proceeded to eat what Tobin calls the food of the gods themselves cuz damn this food but hitting different powers of anime food man.

"Ok so judging by my clothes and what Delia is talking about i think i'm in the first episode?" Tobin thought trying to make sense of situation he was still processing a lot of what was going on but at the same time as person who as a kid dreamed of going on a pokemon journey before the harsh nature of reality kicked in it was actually kind of exciting even though he has like a gazillion question on how the hell he was in this world the walk to the professor would certainly help clear his head.

"Well I'm off now to becoming the very best that no one ever was,"Tobin said with a grin knowing that he probably went insane somehow and was probably in his own world which made the most sense for now so he'll just roll with it he thought to himself as he grabbed his backpack.

"Good luck honey, don't forget to change your underwear!"Delia said, tearing up a bit.

Tobin saw this and felt really bad impersonating her son on a very hard day for her. He was about to leave and rarely come home after all her feelings were justified.So without really thinking about it he turned around and gave her a hug.

Delia with no hesitation accepted it as the mother and 'son' embraced right in the kitchen.

"I'm ok Ash dear all boys leave home one day it said so on tv,"Delia said wiping her tears away.

"Just make me proud alright Ashy?"She said with a warm smile as Tobin unconsciously nodded and left the house. Delia just stood there in deep thought as Ash after that nightmare was acting a little strange though after a supposed nightmare like that anyone would but even after he ate in a more refined manner though still in an 'Ash' like way he was more well mannered as well perhaps he wanted to make it easier on her.


Tobin walked across the fields of pallet simply admiring the small town he found it quite peaceful as he stopped to take a deep breath of the fresh air. It was way better than all the noxious fumes in the city plus all the pokemon! He is living the dream seeing pokemon like Dodrio, Rattata and some more Pidgey it is truly amazing!

"This is quite nice, It's a beautiful day out today, Pidgey are singing, Flowers are blooming and on days like these people like me… NEED TO FIND OUT WHERE THE HELL I AM!"Tobin said screaming that last part as despite the fact that he did appreciate the walk as it was really calming him down he needed to get to the damn lab! How else is he gonna get his pokemon… even though it's probably gonna be Pikachu… but damnit it was way bigger than the show made it out to be!

"Ashy boy?"A female voice said from behind him as Tobin noticed her. She was a brunette wearing a sleeveless cyan with some black on it, a short pinkish red skirt, white shoes with a stripe the same color as her skirt and a white hat with a pokeball symbol colored red.

Tobin suddenly felt a sharp split second pain at the back of his head like someone shoved a needle in his cranium and immediately took it out as she looked familiar?

"Blue?"Tobin said, somehow knowing how this girl, maybe whatever gods were out there was looking out for him somehow welp he thanks them anyway!

"Of course who else ya dum dum,"Blue said with a hint of sass and an eyeroll.Tobin sweatdropped at this and had even more questions cuz she was not in the original anime so how the hell was she here?!

"Of course you would get lost on your way to the lab,"She said with a small grin.

"Hey!"Tobin said not wanting his pride to already die in less than a day give him a break he has only been here less than 2 hours and he has been handling himself fine! Maybe!

"If you admit your lost i'll throw you a bone and tell you where gramps lab is,"Blue says with a massive grin Tobin knows she is absolutely loving this but if he ever wants to obtain a pokemon the thought itself fills him with excitement going crazy isn't so bad afterall.

"Fine, I'm lost happy now,"Tobin said sarcastically.

"Yep!" Blue said with no regrets Tobin sweat drops at this display.

"C'mon let's go!"She says, grabbing his hand and dragging him with her.

"Woah!"Tobin said not expecting this but just went along with it as less trouble

The duo made their way towards the lab and made a quick pace towards the lab as excitement filled Tobin as he was gonna get a pokemon holy crap! Kids only dream of this moment.

Blue, seeing Tobin's excitement, smiled and brought him back to reality as he was dreaming of what he would use Pikachu's plot armor with.

"Get your head out of the clouds doofus you won't even pass the first gym,"She says much to Tobin's ire she in his mind takes after her manga counterpart in a way which is all good she was great in the manga.

"I'll have you know I am more than capable of beating the first gym and second and all of em!"Tobin said in a very 'Ash' kind of way his pride could only handle so much before eventually dying like his school grades which brings him great joy that no more school! More time catching pocket monsters,.

"Yeah yeah whatever actions speak louder words Ashy boy,"Blue said in a playful manner.


The duo eventually reach the lab and get in. Tobin was just staring around before the duo witnessed an elderly professor approach them.

"Ash! Blue! Welcome!,"The professor said, greeting them warmly with a soft smile on his face.

"Hey grandpa,"

"Hey professor,"

"I know you must be excited to receive your starters so i won't keep you waiting,"The professor said, bringing the pair to the machine.Tobin couldn't stop a grin from popping on his face as the professor opened the machine revealing two pokeballs with elemental stickers on them.

"Why are there only two pokeballs here?"Tobin asked in confusion.

"There was a trainer who came before you both and took Charmander so the only other options left are Bulbasaur and Squirtle,"The professor said calmly.

"It doesn't matter, it won't influence my decision anyway,"Blue said nonchalantly as she picked up the pokeball with the leaf on it, throwing it in the air as a burst of light as a green frog-like dinosaur appeared.

"Bulbasaur,"It said as Blue smiled and petted it much to its pleasure.

"Hello there I'm Blue Oak, would you like to travel with me?" Blue said in a very straightforward way.

Bulbasaur looked intently at her before unveiling a vine for a handshake to which Blue obviously accepted and picked him up.

"He seems to like you,"Tobin said, petting the Bulbasaur trying so hard not to die right then and there for petting an actual pokemon.

"Duh,who doesn't like me?"Blue said cheekily.Tobin rolled his eyes at this display.

"By the way grandpa, where is Gary? He wasn't at the house when I woke up this morning,"Blue asked the old professor with mild concern.

Professor Oak smiled at this display and patted her on the head.

"Don't worry about him, he was helping me with the ranch and getting to know his starter,"Professor Oak said with a smile.

"His starter?"Tobin questioned, hold the phone, what do you mean Squirtle was right there, was it some other weird weird anomaly like the existence of Blue and her relation to Gary?

"Oh yes, you see as you are aware there were four certified Pallet trainers set to start their journey today,however as you know we only have three official Kanto starters, I had spoken to Gary and Blue the other day telling them about this in exchange for allowing the other three Pallet trainers take the official starters i would provide them with a more than adequate replacement for them Gary was the one to accept this,"Professor Oak explained professionally.

Tobin was processing this Gary Oak the smuggest person in the entire show doing something some would even consider humble yep not even his insanity could get the characterization right.

"You also promised egg moves as well grandpa…,"Blue said with a deadpan expression yep that sounded way more like him.

"Er well…,Ash, would you like to meet your partner?"The professor said, trying to change the subject.

Blue sighed at the attempt to change the topic while.Tobin immediately rushed for the machine and grabbed the pokeball with the water elemental sticker and had the biggest grin on his face as he threw the ball in the air he forgot all the crazy stuff that happened today as the tiny turtle pokemon appeared right in front of him.

"Squirtle,"It said as it emerged from the ball with a somewhat cocky grin on its face now I can see how Gary and it got along…

"HI! I'm To… I mean Ash you wanna come with me to be the very best that no one ever was?" Tobin asked as he stretched his arm out as a sign of friendship

Squirtle gave him a questioning look but took the hand he could respect the goal he had in mind.

"Oh yeah!" Tobin said, grabbing Squirtle with one arm.

The Professor and even Blue smiled at the display between the two; this was truly the start of a beautiful friendship.

"Well well well look what we have here," a familiar voice said.

Tobin looked at the new figure in the room and couldn't help but smile.The figure had spiky brown hair, a long purple shirt, dark gray pants, a yin and yang necklace, and brown boots with black straps encircling them to top a smirk on his face.

"Looks like Ashy boy finally got a pokemon too bad it's a runt like you,"Gary said, eyeing Squirtle much to its ire as it started to growl at the boy.

Tobin couldn't help but feel ticked off at the claim he just got the definitive best starter in Kanto in his own opinion so he can't let that slide.

"Please I'm sure that Squirtle can beat whatever pokemon you have,"Tobin said with Confidence as Squirtle hopped on his shoulder and puffed his chest out in pride.

"As if you're anywhere near my level Ashy boy,"Gary said, spinning a pokeball on his finger as a weird side note he needed to learn how to do that!

Before the banter continued the duo felt a vine wack 'em on the head as they held their heads in pain.

"If you two are done we have better things to do,"Blue said as she sighed some things never change.

"Well now that I have you here Gary, did you carry out your task?"Professor Oak asked his grandson.Gary nodded at this and handed his grandpa something.

"What is that?"Tobin couldn't help but ask.

"Squirtle,"His partner agreed with him.

"Nothing much, just some extra registration for this,"Professor Oak said as he went to his monitor and inputted a few commands as three small boxes popped out.

"This is a Pokedex, a digital encyclopedia holding information on many different species of Pokemon, it will also serve as your identification if need be in my other hand are Pokeballs special digivices which let you capture and befriend Pokemon,"The Professor said, handing the items to the three trainers.

As Tobin reached out for the Pokedex his vision started to get blurry as the headache from earlier came back with a vengeance as he clenched his head much to the concern of the others and even more so Squirtle as it looked at his trainer with worry as Tobin lifted his head the others seemed to have vanished as he could some kind of figures one big one small but it was almost static as the bigger one handed the smaller one an object as they started to get just a little clearer as Tobin only barely clinging onto to consciousness tried to make it out and as the faces were getting clearer he passed out…
