Near Pallet Town, in a forest...

A green light flashed, scaring the nearby Pokemon away. A white haired boy appeared out of nowhere. Though he was not alone, a yellow rodent like creature was perched upon his shoulder. The boy slowly opened his eyes, where one could see the residue of a blue glow fading away. His crimson red eyes were deep and mysterious yet calm at the same time.

"It's been a while, huh..." He said while slowly looking around, "I've finally returned to the present."

He was Ben, Ben Colton. He was white haired, fair skinned and around 16 year old. His crimson red eyes and his pointy ears with earrings, when paired with his white hair, gave him quite the unique charm.

Just like any other person, his dream was to be one of the best, if not the best Pokemon trainer in this world. But on the fateful day of his start of a wonderful journey, he found himself entangled in a fate that was impossible to escape.

He time travelled to the past on accident. Around that time, he was half a year away from turning 15 year old. He was transported to the time when technology was not advanced; bloody wars happened often, large kingdoms and empires ruled the world.

What could a child like him do? Even adults of that time were not guaranteed a peaceful life. But as fate would have it, he survived! He adventured and gained plenty of experience and fortunately, found a way to return back to the exact time when he time travelled. Many things happened throughout his time in the past, but that is a story for another time...

"Pika piii", the yellow rodent like creature chimed in, snapping him out of his daze. A trace of concern was also visible on its tiny face.

"Don't worry, Pikachu" The boy smiled, reassuring the concerned creature called as Pikachu, "I am fine, it's just the nostalgia".

"Pika" nodded Pikachu, relieved.

Pikachu was his first Pokemon. It was a male Pikachu. It had pointy ears, zigzag tail and a very cute face with a pair of red spots on its cheeks. Don't go on its looks though, because they had travelled and battled together, experienced many things and overcame many hurdles. Its full powered Thunder Shock probably might send you to coma for a full week.

He had met Pikachu when he was only 5. Pikachu was injured at that time, so he helped him to a nearby Pokemon center and saved its life. They had become friends since then, though he was never able to capture it in a pokeball since at that time, he didn't have a Trainer license. And, when he was about to receive one, he was transported to the past.

"Eh? Is that my..." Ben noticed a black coloured bag lying near him. It looked quite new, without any dirt on it since it was lying on the grass.

'Hmm, now that I remember' Ben thought, 'I had prepared a bag with a few essentials in it. I was about to go on a journey, after all. It probably got left behind'.

As he crouched down and opened the bag, he found several spare clothes and some face cleaning essentials along with a roll of toilet paper lying messily around. He rummaged in the bag for some time and found a smartphone too.

'10:00 AM, Sunday' read on the smartphone.

"Pi pika, pika!" exclaimed Pikachu, pointing at the time on smartphone.

"Huh?" Ben was confused for a second but soon a look of realization appeared on his face, "Oh! Yea, this was the appointed time to receive Pokemon, wasn't it?"

"PIka!" affirmed Pikachu with a cheerful face.

A look of nostalgia appeared on his face, as he gazed at the nearby town. He was originally not from Pallet town but from Saffron City, a sprawling metropolis in the Kanto region. His Parents had died in an accident when he was just a little over 2 year old and since then he had lived with his uncle.

He had come to Pallet town because his uncle required a parcel to be delivered personally to Professor Oak. It was something important, his uncle had said. And since he was of the minimum age required to receive a Trainer license, i.e. 14, he agreed to deliver the parcel himself and went to pallet town.

His uncle had made an appointment with Professor Oak, and since they were friends, Professor Oak had agreed to personally give Ben his Trainer license and Pokemon to him.

"Pi pi pika, pika chu. Piiiika wiiiika!" said Pikachu, making gestures with his tiny paws.

"Hmm? You want me to go there and receive the license right now?" Ben asked the rodent, raising an eyebrow, "But we just returned, shouldn't we head over to the Inn and take a rest?"

"PIIKA WIIKA!"

"It will be too late?" Ben sighed helplessly, shaking his head, "But is it that important? I am tired right now, moreover we can contact Professor Oak later, I am sure he will understand since my uncle is his friend."

"Chuuuuuuuuu" making a cute face, Pikachu pleaded.

"Alright alright, we'll head over there right now" Ben agreed, sighing. Though when he thought about it a bit more, he agreed that it wasn't that bad of an idea. After all, he can get a license through which he can officially make Pikachu his Pokemon. As for receiving Pokemon from Prof. Oak, he wasn't a least bit interested in that.

"Though, it is a surprise that you can remember that much, Pikachu" Ben glanced at Pikachu through the corner of his eyes, while slightly smiling.

"Pikaaa" Pikachu, perched on top of Ben's shoulder, proudly smiled while pointing at his head. Its eyes glowed blue faintly for a brief moment.

"Indeed, you have gotten better" Smiled Ben, while caressing Pikachu's head and rubbing its cheeks.

"Alright, let's go" He picked up the black bag from the ground and started heading towards the nearby town.

A wiff of cold breeze blew past, trees and the surrounding shrubbery rustling. Occasionally, you could hear the sound of wild Pidgeys chirping. It was a quiet and serene environment. You could also see green farmlands stretching out from the town and the Pokemon ranch behind the famous Pokemon Research Lab of Professor Oak.

As he entered the vicinity of the town, he started to get lost in thoughts again. Today was the day he was going to receive his first Pokemon in the past. But a lot of time has passed, and he wasn't that interested in receiving Pokemon from Prof. Oak. And he has also aged quite a bit, though the time he spent in the past wasn't exactly 2 years(Important). He had spent more than that, but he has aged only 2 years because the circumstances were somewhat special...

Wait a second! He has aged!

Suddenly, he stopped midway. Remembering his age, a troubled look appeared on his face. Before going to the past, he was 14 year old but now he was 16. His face has changed, although not by much and he had grown taller also.

Just imagine, a boy of age 14 suddenly appeared to be in his 16, how weird would that situation be? Or would anyone recognize him in the first place? If he suddenly appeared at the Oak's lab like this...

'Hmm...!? My clothes!' Looking at his clothes, which were of medieval era, Ben face palmed.

"On the second thought, let's first head over to the inn that I remember registering in" He said, shaking his head.

"Pikaaaaachuuuuuuu" Pouted Pikachu, seemingly trying to appear hurt.

"Hey now, if I appear like this, I would probably be embarrassing myself." He glanced at the surrounding before gesturing at the few people that were passing by, "Look, they are already giving me weird looks"

"Pika pi" Pikachu suddenly turned around and made a frightening face at the people while releasing a few sparks from its cheeks. This in turn, made the people almost run away in cold sweat.

Huuuuuu

Taking a deep breath, he thought, 'Let's take things slowly, and get a nice rest before figuring out what to do.'

This is much tougher than I thought. *sigh* Welp, it's my first time writing a story, and English is not my first language. Feel free to give any kind of feedback in the comments.

You can also suggest some unique words in the story comments, as my vocabulary is not good. (Nor is my grammar, anyways...)
