Three more long and painful weeks of grieving and mourning passed before Ash seemed to be returning to normal. He went to Professor Oak's for a friendly visit with his mom and his best buddy Pikachu.

"Hey, Professor, why are you packing?" Ash asked.

"You, see, Ash, I have an important conference in the Unova region with Professor Juniper." Oak explained.

"The Unova region, huh?" Ash said.

"That's right, my boy the Unova region is very far away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and even Sinnoh." Oak explained.

"Say, Professor would you mind if I tagged along I'd love to see this new region!" Ash exclaimed.

"Ash, you don't go and invite yourself places like that, it's rude, honey, especially since you didn't even ask my permission. Now, Professor Oak, may I come with you a vacation would do Ash and I good to get our mind off of things." Delia asked.

"But, Mom you just said that-" Ash said, confused.

"Shh, Ash it isn't polite to interrupt people." Delia said.

"I don't see why not the more the merrier!" Oak agreed. "We leave first thing tomorrow morning!" Oak exclaimed informatively.

"Well, then we better get prepared and pack our things I've got to remind Ash to remember to pack his you-know-what's!" Delia exclaimed.

"See you tomorrow, Professor, thanks!" Ash exclaimed, back at the Ketchum's Delia began sewing Ash a new pair of clothes in the attic as Ash and Pikachu began preparations for their next vacation adventure in the Unova region. That night Ash prayed to his father and made a solemn oath to him to one day become a Pokemon Master and shut down Team Snagem. As his adventures continue not knowing what lies around the bend, one thing's for sure, Ash Ketchum, the boy from Pallet Town alongside with his partner, Pikachu will keep working to be the very best, like no one ever was…
