Hello, this will be a multi chapter fanfiction about Ash Ketchum's childhood and the events that led to him getting Pikachu.

Professor Oak was walking through his long lab to go and see his pet Bulbasaur. He had owned this Bulbasaur for ten years.

As he walked through the tall doors that led to his lab, he saw a Pikachu sitting on the floor eating from a bowl that was full of Pokemon food. Professor Oak hoped to one day give this Pikachu to a trainer. This Pikachu had so much energy and passion for battles.

As Professor Oak turned around to go and get Pikachu another bowl of food, he noticed a young kid was standing by the enterance of his lab, looking amazed at all the Pokemon inside.

Professor Oak knelt down and spoke to the boy. "Why hello there, what's your name?"

The boy looked up at Professor Oak. "Ash Ketchum. I'd like to be a Pokemon trainer someday when I'm a little older."

Professor Oak looked at Ash. "Well, I look forward to giving you a starter Pokemon once you're ready."

That's all for now. Chapter 2 will be up soon.
