Chapter 1

KETCHUM HOUSEHOLD

"Pika-CHUUUU" a yellow mouse-like pokemon yelled as it shot a large lightning bolt at a large lump completely covered in blankets. "Ahhhh!" yelled the lump as it twitched and spasmed from the large lightning bolt. "All right! I'm up! I'm up!" yelled the lump, as it removed the blanket to reveal a 12 year old Ash Ketchum. "Why do you have to shock me almost every morning to wake me up?" Ash said in exasperation. "pika pi pi pika chu" said pikachu. "Well atleast your more reliable than my alarm clock."

"Ash, honey! Breakfast is ready!" yelled Ash's mom from the kitchen, "hurry up or your gonna miss your big day!" "All right! I almost forgot! Today is the day that I finally become a pokemon trainer!" said Ash. Ash hurriedly got dressed and flew down the stairs and straight into the aroma that was Delia Ketchum's cooking. Just the smell would be enough to make you to drool. As Ash sat down for breakfast he said to his mom, "I can tell you one thing is that when I go on my journey is that I'm totally gonna miss your cooking mom!" "Oh, stop it you." said an embarrassed momma Ketchum. "Pika pi!" pikachu agreed with Ash as they inhaled their breakfasts at lightning speed.

"Now hurry along, and don't forget your underwear sweety!" yelled Delia as Ash and pikachu zoomed out of the house. "MOOOOOM!" yelled an embarrassed Ash. As Ash left behind his house he ran through the neighborhood waving to his neighbors as he flashed by. He waved towards Daisy Oak as she exited her household, "See ya later Daisy!" " We'll meet again soon I hope!" She yelled back! "You better believe it!" Ash yelled taking a hard corner. Finally Prof. Oak's lab came into view as he ran over a large grassy hill. "Oh yeah there it is. The famed Prof. Oak's lab." "I can't wait to get registered!" Ash bolted down the hill with pikachu following.

In a matter of minutes Ash arrived and blasted the door open. "Ash Ketchum here to begin my journey towards becoming the greatest Pokemon Master!" Ash shouted. "I'm right here, no need to shout," said an older man coming out of a door in the back. "Ah Ash, your right on time." "Hey old man, how ya doing?" "My bones are starting to creak, how do you think I'm doing?" exasperated Prof. Oak. "Well you are old," said Ash. "Gee thanks you make me feel soo much better." Prof. Oak said cheekily. "Now just let me get a pokedex and register you and you will be all set. "Ahh yea!" "You will be using pikachu as your starter right?" "Of course I am! I couldn't imagine starting without pikachu." "Pika chu" pikachu agreed.

(FLASHBACK)

The story of how Ash tamed a pikachu goes back many years, around the time he was six years old. He was out playing around the forest when he heard a strange cry. Curious he made his way towards the strange cry, and what he saw when he got there surpised him to say the least. A Pichu was running away from an Ekans. Ash, being the person who he was, charged right in to save the little Pichu. His sudden appearence from the bushes startled the Ekans and it hissed and ran away fromt the sudden larger animal. Safe from the Ekans the Pichu huddled behind Ash's legs with its eyes closed. "It's all right now," Ash said gently to the Pichu. "It won't hurt you anymore." "Pi chu" said the Pichu as it warily eyed its suroundings. "That's right, I scared away the mean Ekans." "Pi chu pi," sighed the Pichu as it finally relaxed. "How about you come home with me," asked Ash. "I'm sure my mother won't mind. In fact, I'm pretty sure she'll be ecstatic to have another mouth to feed." And with that Ash brought home the Pichu and they've been friends ever since. Pichu had evolved into Pikachu about a year later.

(END FLASHBACK)

Ash got his Pokedex and checked his ID. "My name is Dex, the pokedex belonging to the trainer Ash Ketchum." said a robotic voice as it showed a picture of Ash. "All right! I got my pokedex!" "Hold on Ash, I got a few things to say," said Prof. Oak. "If you run into Gary out there, please try not to fight to much." Ash snorted, "No promises," "That's all I ask, and what are pokemon to trainers?" Prof. Oak asked? "Our friends and partners!" Ash said exuberantly. "Correct!" said Prof. Oak. "Ok, off you go," Prof. Oak made a shooing motion. "I'll call you guys when Pikachu and I make it to the next town." said Ash as he made his way towards the exit. "Oh Ash! I almost forgot! Here's 6 pokeballs and a couple of potions. You might want to catch Pikachu in a pokeball so he is officially registered as your pokemon." "Thanks!" yelled Ash as he finally left the lab.

"All right!" Ash yelled "Let's get going!" Ash yelled as he situated his pack. "Pika pi" Pikachu agreed from his shoulder. Ash bolted towards the town's exit. "I'm going to become the greatest Pokemon Master in the world!" Yelled Ash as he passes the exit and moved towards the horizon. Little did he know, up in the sky, a pink feline creature studied him. Feeling the emotions the boy gave off the floating pink feline let off a happy warble, "Mew!" and followed after the boy who's destiny could literally reshape the entire world...

(Sorry if my chapters are a little short. I promise that they will get longer after this chapter. Just needed the prologue and this first chapter to get this story off the ground. Now I can start getting into the body of the story. Thanks for being patient with me. I'll accept any kind of review, especially critique. I need it to make it a better story for all who are reading.)
