The story takes place shortly after Ash falls just short of the Championship in the Sinnoh League. Ash loses to Cynthia on a last minute attack that left Pikachu unconcious. Cynthia offers to battle Ash again, but Ash declines and tells her that he has new places to explore. The story starts off with Ash and Dawn walking back to Pallet Town, which they are only about 5 miles away from.

The story starts out at about a PG-13 rating or so.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ash and Dawn are walking along the road, when Ash suddenly blurts out, "Man, I can't wait for some homecooking." "I don't think I've ever met your mom, is she a good cook," Dawn asks inquisitively. "One of the best," Ash replies. They continue walking and talking with nothing in particular being discussed before they reach the outskirts of town.

"Dawn, lets race to the sign there at the front of the town, no rules apply," Ash proposes. "You are always trying to make it a competitive situation, aren't you Ashy-Boy." "No, not always, hey that's not fair, you got a head start," Ash protested after Dawn was already half way there.

Ash gets there second and out of breath, "You.....are.....sneaky," Ash pants out. "Yeah, well I won anyways," Dawn clearly pointed out to Ash. They continue on into town, which has grown some, but not as much as some of the other cities had grown. Ash walked past Professor Oak's lab and explained that was where he got Pikachu from. A few questions popping up about the Professor by Dawn was happily answered by Ash and before long they find themselves in front of Ash's childhood home. "Well we're here," Ash remaked. And with that Ash opened up the door and yelled to his mom, "Mom, we're ho..." And before Ash could finish his sentence, Deliah had put her baby boy in a chokehold. "Mom....I....can't.....breathe...." Ash said as he sputtered for air. "And this must be Dawn, I've heard so many great things about you," as Deliah smiled at Dawn. "Pleasure to meet you Mrs. Ketchum," Dawn replied.

"Well, I happened to have some food ready, why don't you go and wash your hands," Deliah instructed two the two teens. Both teens did as they instructed and washed their hands. Ash led Dawn to the extra room where she could put her stuff down. After taking a quick look around the room, Dawn accompanied Ash to dinner where Ash's mom had cooked an extravagent meal with the help of Mr. Mime. Ash started stuffind his face immediately and almost choked on some spaghetti noodles, which caused Dawn to laugh histerically.

After dinner everyone is sitting around the table stuffed when Deliah gets up and picks up an envelope from the counter. "Oh, this came for you Ash," Deliah said as she handed the package to Ash.

Dear Guest;

You are cordially invited to the wedding of Susie and Brock on August 11th. You are allowed to bring a guest.

Sincerely,

Brock & Susie

"So that is why Brock dissapeared, he was busy getting himself ready to marry Susie," Ash scoffed mockingly. "Who is Susie," Dawn asked Ash. "Oh, she was this Pokemon Beautician who would bring out the outer and inner beauty of pokemon and was one of Brock's many crushes," Ash explained. "Oh, that makes sense." "Well since I'm allowed to bring a guest, would you care to join me Dawn as my guest," Ash asked. "I'd love to join you Ash," Dawn replied, "it'd be great to catch up with Brock." So that means the wedding is in two days and that Ash and Dawn would need to prepare for their journey. Ash and Dawn execused themselves from the dinner table as Mr. Mime happily cleaned up the dishes. They both went upstairs and gave each other their good night niceties and both went off to their seperate bed room.

Ash went into his room and took off his shirt immediately and lied down in his bed after he kicked his shoes off. Lying in bed he began to imagine what food would be at the wedding. Chicken wings, big cake, and lots of other wonderfully tasting food. "Pikachu must be getting himself full with all the ketchup my mom keeps around him," Ash thought to himself. Before long, Ash found himself in a deep sleep.

Dawn on the other hand couldn't fill up her mind as to what the wedding dress was going to look like. She wondered what Susie would like and if Susie would like her. She took off her boots and her socks came off with it. It was nice for her feet to get some air for a change. Man, she needed a bath she thought to herself and so she walked into the joining bathroom and turned on the hot water along with a little bit of cold water, so she wouldn't burn herself. Once satisfied with the temperature, she strolled back into the room and proceeded to take off her skirt, leaving her Pikachu panties showing. Then she takes off her scarf, the vest and her shirt that she kept on leaving her in just her underwear. When she first started developing breasts, she tried on a bra, but it was just uncomfortable, so she would take it off once she left her mom's sight and stuff it in her bag, so that it would like she was wearing it. To help prevent her breasts from showing, she would wear a dark vest over her white shirt she always wore. She strolled to the door to her bedroom to lock it to make sure no one came in on her while she was bathing. She walked back to the bathroom where she pulled off her final article of clothing before setting herself in the bathtub. She sat here for a few minutes thinking to herself before cleaning herself up. Once satisfied that she had scrubbed every part of her body, she pulled the plug on the water and drained the tub. She reached out for the towel on the edge and dried herself off. After getting out of the bath and drying herself off, she strolled over to her bag to grab a pair of shorts on. She decided against putting a shirt on as she didn't want to hastle with laundry or make Mrs. Ketchum do it. She went back to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Once she checker her teeth thoroughly, she jumped into bed and got underneath the covers before dozing off.

Not much happening in this story, more of just setup to the rest of the story. Brock & Susie are getting married, which will be the focus of the next chapter. For some reason the dialogue sentences just seem bad. Maybe it's just me.

I'd love some reviews.
