Chapter 1
Turns out the person living in the cottage was a trainer who had just completed his journey. His name was Ash Ketchum. Yeah. The Ash Ketchum. He was my dad. He became a recluse living in the woods hoping to train in peace. Obviously, that didn't happen. He had spent his life teaching me everything he learned on his travels about pokemon and even gave allowed me to befriend a very odd pichu I found injured in the forest just a few days before my tenth birthday. That Pichu is my closest and only friend. What can I say living alone in the woods doesn't allow for many oppurtunities for making new friends. Perfect fro peace and quiet though. I wasn't sure what it would be like to finally be able to travel the region with my Pichu in tow. But I hoped I'd be able to meet lots of people and make plenty of friends!
"Today is the day Pichu! We are finally going on an adventure!Let's go!" I reminded Pichu excitedly.
"Pi-Pichu! (I know! I'm so excited!)" Pichu responded just as excitedly.
Well what were we waiting for.
"Bye dad!" I waved bye and hugged my dad as I ran out the door.
"Be careful you two" I heard him call after me.
This was it. The official start of my new life. I thought this as I stood at the fork in the road. One way lead to Xerina City Where the first gym was and the other lead the way to Aphelia town. A small oceanside town where the ocean shone beautifully under the afternoon sun. I Imagined it sparkling just like it always did. I took the path leading to Xerina City. Away from what was familiar. Good by old life in the Waylon region and hello to a wonderful adventure...
Is what I thought at the time. I wasn't wrong about the adventure part. But it was always going to be wonderful. There were going to be many challenges ahead. One such challenge I would face very soon...
