Hi every one Ok here is the third chapter of Sinnoh's last stand sorry its taken me so long to update I have been busy with school work, but now that the holidays have begun I'm free! And enjoy this chapter and remember I don't own Pokemon or any of the characters.

Chapter three: A journey begins

"Pikachu!" I yelled out to my long time good friend

"Come on turtwig, I know you can do it!" James encouraged

"Pika" Pikachu called back weakly

No response came from turtwig

"This is taking to long" Dawn muttered impatiently. She pulled out a pokeball and expanded it "Go Beautifly, use gust to clear the smoke"

"Beau beautifly" it said while flapping it's wing furiously. Slowly the smoke started to clear revealing Pikachu panting exhaustedly on one knee while turtwig was lying unconscious

"hooray" said dawn sarcastically "Ash and Pikachu win can we please go inside now I'm starved and I can smell dinner" she said impatiently before storming inside

"great job Pikachu buddy, I knew you could do it buddy" I told him happily "lets get your strength back for tomorrow with a nice meal"

"pika" he said sounding a little better. We then headed inside for dinner while James just stared at the spot where turtwig lay unconscious he slowly pulled out turtwig's pokeball expanded it and returned turtwig before heading inside as well.

The only sound that could be heard from the Ketchum residence was a ripping sound. No one knew what it was unless they were inside witnessing this horrific sight of me tearing through my third serving of roasted chicken.

"Ash slow down" my mom said calmly

"Ha! Ash slow down, nice one mum" Dawn smirked

"Wha?" I looked up with my mouth full

"Nothing Ashy" Dawn replied still with a smirk on her face

"Why you" I swallowed what was in my mouth and chased Dawn around the hall and up the stairs until I was stopped by James who told me to calm down.

I was getting ready for bed while making sure that i had everything packed for the start of my new sinnoh adventure tomorrow. I had both Pikachu and chimchar asleep while dustox was keeping me company.

"cant wait for tomorrow, can you dustox?" I asked excitedly

"dust tox dustox" dustox sleepily replied

"yea your right, its getting kinda late, lets go to bed so we won't be late" I agreed, I got into bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

"I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you" Was the first thing I heard when I woke up. Its wasn't that I minded the song, its just the tone deaf person that was singing it that was driving me crazy. I looked up and heard that it was coming from the bathroom, to be more precise, James. An evil smile spread across my face I quickly pulled out my Phone and recorded every second I could.

"morning" James said brightly when he exited the bathroom "you exited boute today?"

"most definitely, nothing wakes you up more than I good song" and I hit play on the recording, James looked absolutely dumbstruck. Before he could recover I was in the bathroom and the door was locked behind me.

Once I was showered and ready, I went downstairs and was welcomed by the amazing smell of waffles in the morning.

Once I was done eating I ran a quick checklist of things to pack, once that was done I set of for Rowan's lab to wait for Dawn and James to arrive.

I walked through the meadow to get to sandgem, however as I approached the clearing I saw a bird pokemon on the ground that looked injured. I ran over to it instantly to se if there was something I could do to help. When I approached it, it was knocked out, so I picked it up and ran straight to Sandgem pokemon centre.

When I arrived in the pokemon centre nurse Joy asked "how may I help you today?"

"nurse joy it's urgent, I just found this pokemon lying injured in the meadow, PLEASE HELP!" I shouted in urgency

"Oh my, thank heavens you found it, I'd hate to imagine what would have happened to the poor creature had you not, I'm going to have to operate on it right away, please wait in the waiting room" nurse Joy said calmly but urgently

After what felt like hours the operating light went off, and I looked up as nurse Joy exited the room

"Is it going to be alright?" I asked fearing the worst

"He's going to be fine, he just needs some rest is all, he'll be back on his feat within a couple of hours" she replied calmly

"That's a relief, um one more question, what pokemon was he anyway?" I asked curiously

She giggled and said "that's a starly, they are very common in this area"

"Thanks again, nurse Joy see you later" I said before heading for Rowan's lab.

As I approached the lab I heard worried voices coming from inside. When I went in I saw Rowan his assistants and James in heavy discussion, while Dawn was at the side on the verge of tears.

"hey everyone" I said as I entered

Everyone instantly looked up shocked. Dawn was the first one to recover and she ran over to me and gave me a hug that squeezed the air out of me

"whoa, too much love sis" I said pushing her away

"Sorry, but we thought you were dead" Dawn said happily

"yeah, you left half an hour before us then just disappear, it's not cool man" James said

"mm, since you are all here we can get started with business before you start of on your journey, I want each of you to carry this upgraded sinnoh pokedex so that it may help you with the pokemon, also I need to add that registration to become a co-ordinator is in Jubilife city so if you wish to register dawn, that is where you do so. As for the boys, registration for the pokemon league is in Oreburgh city, now that's also where your first gym battle will be. Now I wish you good luck as you embark on your very own adventure in the Sinnoh region" Rowan explained

After we exited the lab James said "you know, that guy's not as bad as he seems, way less grumpy as well"

I agreed then heard someone calling my name, I turned and saw that it was nurse joy, and in her hands were two pokeballs, she handed them to me and said "here, one of them is that starly and the other one you mom sent, she said you left your Pikachu" suddenly as if on que Pikachu popped out of his ball

"thanks nurse joy" I said before heading away Jubilife city with Dawn and James.

"Wait, when did you get a starly?" James asked

I sighed and started to explain.

*fade in to darkness as they walk away*

Well other than the cheesy ending, thanks for reading, sorry if my facts or even my names are slightly wrong, I haven't played or watched pokemon for quite a while actually. And I realize that the name James might be from the team rocket one, if so then sorry for the confusion I actually named my rival James and didn't consider the team rocket one until this chapter so sorry for any confusion or spelling and grammar mistakes in here. Thanks for reading, I might update if I can be bothered :D
