We find ourselves in Pallet Town, a place where journeys begin. It's here that we find a young man named Ash Ketchum sitting in his room watching a battle on TV. He was excited, but why? Because he was starting his Pokemon journey tomorrow, he continued to watch TV until he heard a voice call out.

"Ash, your mom said to go to bed." The voice said

Ash turned to see his friend Cody Andrews standing by the door.

"sorry Cody I just can't sleep. Tomorrow I begin my Pokemon journey, and I'm just really excited." Ash explained.

Cody smiled.

"I understand, but even you need your sleep here," he said as he changed the channel to a lecture from Professor Oak.

"Watch this and go to bed, alright, and don't forget that I'm going with you on your journey, okay?" he said.

"I know, but are you getting one of the starter Pokemon from Professor Oak?" Ash questioned.

"Nope, I'm getting a Pokemon from another region as a starter," Cody explained, making Ash smile excitedly.

"Wow, really, that's awesome. What kind of Pokemon is it?" Ash questioned.

"Sorry, but it's a surprise." Cody said he was making Ash pout.

"Aw, oh well, I'm sure that it will be cool," Ash said as he sat back down and continued watching the lecture, making Cody chuckle at his friend before remembering something.

"Oh, right before I forget, I have something to tell you." He said.

This catches Ash's attention.

"What is it?" Ash questioned.

"The professor wanted me to tell you that he has a surprise for you." Cody said, causing Ash to go wide-eyed.

"Really a surprise for me!" Ash questioned excitedly.

"Yep, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow, so finish watching that lecture, then go to bed." Cody said.

"Okay, I will." Ash said before continuing to watch the lecture, making Cody chuckle before leaving the room.

Cody's pov

Now you're probably wondering how i came to live with Ash and his mom well it actually began a few years ago Ash and his mom Delia were having a picnic when Ash decided to go exploring with his mom telling him not to wonder to far off as he explored he saw plenty of Pokemon all around the forest he even befriended a Pichu that lives in the area after looking around for a minute he had decided to go back to the picnic area when he heard rustling in the bushes curious he went to check it out to find me on the ground unconscious and covered in scratches worried Ash decided to take me to his mom knowing that she could help me so he carried me back to the picnic area though he struggled a little due to the fact that I was heavy but he managed to get me to his mom who tended to my injuries. I woke up an hour later noticing that I was patched up and got up to see where I was only to see Ash and his mom standing in front of me making me freak out before they calmed me down and explained what happened after thanking them for helping me they asked what my name was and where I came from so I introduced myself and explained that I was living in the forest after an accident claimed my parents lives saddened by my story they offered to let me live with them at first I declined the offer saying that I didn't want to be a burden but after a little insisting from mostly Ash I agreed making Ash cheer and I've been living with them ever since me and Ash became the best of friends almost like brothers even though I was older than him by a couple of years we then made a promise to go on a Pokemon journey together and strive to become the very best and the rest was history.

Nobody's pov

As morning came, Cody went to see if Ash was awake, only to see him still asleep with his alarm clock broken again.

Shaking his head, Cody began to shake Ash awake.

"Ash, wake up!" He said he was causing Ash to wake up.

"Cody, what's going on?" Ash questioned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Dude, you broke your alarm clock again. You're going to be late for getting your starter!" Cody said, causing Ash's eyes to widen in shock.

"what!? Then we better hurry!" Ash exclaimed.

He got out of bed and was about to run out the door when Cody stopped him.

"Hold on, Ash, unless you want to run to Professor Oak's lab in your pajamas, you better get changed," Cody said, making Ash chuckle sheepishly before changing into his traveling clothes and running out the door with Cody following him.

"Charmander, Bulbasaur, squirtle, either one is good; just save one for me!" Ash said as he ran, only to crash into someone. He looked up to see his rival, Gary Oak, standing in front of him.

"Hey, watch it!" Gary said this before noticing who bumped into him.

"Well, if it isn't Ash and Cody, better late than ever, I guess." Gary said it mockingly.

"We don't have time for an ego trip, Gary." Cody said while helping Ash up.

"Anyway, Ash, you snooze, you lose you, and Cody is way behind from the start. I've got a Pokemon, and you don't," Gary gloated.

"You got your first Pokemon?" Ash questioned.

"That's right, loser, and it's right inside this pokeball." Gary said as he took a pokeball from his belt and enlarged it.

"Isn't a Pokemon usually in its pokeball? That's not really something to boast about." Cody said, making Gary frown at him.

"What kind of Pokemon did you get, Gary?" Ash questioned.

"None of your business; if you had shown up on time, you would have seen that I got the best Pokemon from my grandfather." Gary said it with a smug grin.

"It's squirtle, isn't it?" Cody guessed, surprising Gary.

"How did you know?" Gary questioned.

"Because you wouldn't shut up about it." Cody said.

Gary glared at him.

"Anyway, now I must be off to become a Pokemon master!" Gary announced.

"Yeah, yeah, are you going to leave or are you going to waste our time some more?" Cody said, causing Gary to growl angrily before getting in a car and driving off.

"Don't listen to that blowhard Ash; we'll show him who's the better trainer." Cody said it reassuringly.

"I know we will." Ash said that before he heard someone clearing their throat, he turned to see Professor Oak standing in front of the gate.

"So you decided to show up after all," he said.

"Sorry, Professor, I accidentally broke my alarm clock, so I ended up sleeping in, and luckily Cody was there; otherwise, I probably would have ran here in my pajamas." Ash said.

the old man chuckled.

"Quite right now, I believe we should get down to business, don't you think?" the professor said.

"Sure, let's go." Ash said as they walked up the steps to the lab.

Oak's Lab

In the lab, a container opened up to show three pokeballs.

"I know Gary got squirtle, so my Pokemon will be Bulbasaur." Ash opened a pokeball only to find it empty.

"Sorry, Ash, but that one was taken by someone who was on time," Oak said.

"That means that Charmander was also taken, right, Professor?" Cody questioned.

Oak nodded.

"Does that mean all of the Pokemon are gone?" Ash was questioned in disappointment.

"Actually, I do have one, and of course, my little surprise." Oak said she was getting Ash's attention.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about the surprise." Ash said as another pokeball appeared in the container, this one with a lightning bolt on top.

"Here, this one may be familiar to you." Oak said it knowingly.

confused Ash opened the pokeball to reveal a yellow mouse with a lightning bolt tail.

"This is Pikachu." Oak was introduced as the Pikachu looked around before his eyes landed on Ash. The moment he saw Ash, he smiled happily.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu said before jumping into Ash's arms and rubbing his cheek against Ash's chest, confusing Ash for a bit before it suddenly dawned on him.

"You're the little Pichu I used to play with, aren't you?" Ash questioned, making the little mouse smile at him while nodding before going back to rubbing his cheek against Ash's cheek.

"Heh, I see he missed you a lot." Cody said.

"Yeah, I missed him too." Ash said, chuckling as Pikachu started licking his cheek.

Professor Oak cleared his throat, getting their attention.

"Sorry to interrupt the touching moment, but I believe that it's Cody's turn for his starter." Oak said he was pulling out a pokeball from his coat pocket.

Cody walked up to Oak, who handed him the ball.

"Now, as you wanted, this Pokemon was ordered from the Sinnoh region." Oak explained.

Cody opens the pokeball to reveal a bipedal canine like Pokemon with blue and black fur and two dreadlocks on its head.

"Rio!" It said it happily.

"It's name is Riolu." Oak said as Cody kneeled in front of Riolu.

"hello Riolu I'm your new trainer." Cody greeted Riolu, making him yip happily before jumping into his new trainer's arms.

"It seems Riolu has taken a liking to you already." Oak said.

"Right, no doubt me and Riolu will be great friends, right?" Cody asked Riolu, who nodded, making the professor laugh.

"I'm glad to hear that now, to Ash's surprise." Oak said she was getting Ash's attention.

"Now, Ash, normally I don't do this, but I decided to give you three Pokemon instead of one." He surprised Ash and Cody.

"really!?" They exclaimed, getting a nod from the professor as he grabbed two pokeballs from his pockets.

"Now, Ash, like with Riolu, these two Pokemon are from two different regions: one is from the Hoenn region and the other is from the Kalos region, so are you ready?" Oak asked, getting a nod from Ash.

"Alright, then here's the first one." He opened the ball, revealing a bipedal bird like Pokemon, who was a foot taller than the professor with red and cream-colored feathers.

"This is Blaziken, the evolved form of the Hoenn fire-type starter Torchic." Oak explained Ash stared in awe at the fire type.

"Wow, Blaziken looks awesome!" He said.

A blush formed on Blaziken's face.

"I'm sure that she is; now here's the second one." Oak said he opened the other pokeball, revealing a small fox-like Pokemon with red and orange fur.

"This is Fennekin, the fire-type starter from Kalos," he explained.

As the fox Pokemon stared at her new trainer, a blush appeared on her face.

"Awesome, aren't you cute?" Ash said, causing her blush to deepen.

"Now here are your pokeballs and your pokeexes." Oak said he was handing them said items.

"thanks Professor!" They thanked him.

"No problem, my boys. Now go out and catch some Pokemon." Oak said he was getting a nod from them.

"You got it, Professor!" They said.

Outside the lab.

As they left the lab, they were greeted by Ash's mom and their neighbors standing in front of the gates holding signs.

"Mom, what are all of you doing here?" Ash questioned.

"We came here to see you two off; my baby is growing up so fast," she said before giving Ash his backpack.

"Be careful out there, Ash, and make sure to call me from time to time to let me know how you are doing." Delia said.

"I will, mom, don't worry." Ash said this before Delia turned to Cody.

"And Cody, make sure to look out for Ash, okay?" Delia said.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Ketchum. I will." Cody said this before he and Ash began to walk down the road.

"Take care, you two, and have fun." Delia said as she waved them goodbye.

And with that, Ash and Cody's journey has begun. What obstacles will they overcome and what challenges will they face? Find out next time on Ash's Pokemon Harem journey.
