Hello! This is the second chapter in this story, enjoy.

Turns out I don't know how to make transitions in the story (-), if somebody knows how, would you please tell me?

Chapter 2:
The Journey Begins Today.

It was last year that Ash met two Pokémon in Professor Oak's summer camp, a Pikachu and an Eevee. They spent a great deal of time together, but the summer camp had to come to an end, and the two Pokémon did not like that idea, so they followed Ash home, where his mother allowed them to stay Unless professor Oak minds so.

"Not at all", was his response.

So Ash kept the two Pokémon.

The present _ Ash's house_ at 6 a.m.

"Eevee?" Pikachu called, after seeing the Pokémon open its eyes.

"Hmm?" Eevee wasn't completely up, but hearing Pikachu's voice did the trick, "Oh! morning Pikachu."

"Had a nice rest?" Pikachu asked.

"Yeah, wait, Were you up for a long time before me?" Eevee returned the question with a question.

"No, just a short time before you."

"Oh, I see."

Long minutes of silence passed, "So, what do you wanna do?" Pikachu asked, deciding to stop that.

"I don't know", Eevee replied, "Ash is still asleep, and I don't wanna wake him up."

"Ya, you're right", Pikachu said thoughtfully, "How about Hide And Find? don't tell me what it's called, I gave it a new name, it just rhymes."

"OK, you name it whatever you want, I just want to play, I'm bored."

"Hide And Find it is", Pikachu hopped off the bed, and ran, "Find me then, if you can, that is."

"I'll find you", Eevee closed his eyes after hopping off the bed as well, "Hmmmm", he listened carefully, and followed the footstep sound, "Found him."

Eevee opened his eyes and ran towards the place he heard the footsteps? paw steps? Anyways, coming from, but Pikachu was not in sight, "Under the table of the kitchen", Eevee said, as he dashed towards the said place, "Found you."

"Well that was quick", Pikachu muttered, "Now you go."

Eevee didn't wait for another second and ran to hide.

The two continued like that until they heard a voice, "Good morning."

"Hmm?" both stopped, and looked to the speaker, Delia Ketchum, "Oh, hey Ash's mom!"

"I see you're too energetic today, is it because Ash's birthday is getting sooner?" she asked.

"Wha?" Pikachu wasn't able to finish, either because of Eevee's interruption or because he didn't know about Ash's birthday, both are possible.

"Yes, we are", Eevee said nodding.

"I am too, soon he is going to be ten, he grew up so fast", Delia said.

Eevee smiled, he couldn't speak human, so that was the best action to do.

(Ash's mother did not understand Eevee, she just asoomed that he agrees with her do to him nodding his head, however, he can not explain with human speech how does he feel)

"Well, I'll go make breakfast, when it's ready would you wake Ash up for me?"

"sure we will", Eevee said nodding.

"thank you", Delia got the message and thanked the Pokémon, "I'll leave you to the game you were playing, but be careful, OK?" a nod from the Pokémon made Delia smile, then she left to go make breakfast, while the two Pokémon talked.

"Is Ash actually becoming ten soon?" Pikachu asked, finally recovering.

"Uh, according to his mother yes", Eevee replied.

"O O, this isn't good", Pikachu's worriedness was evident in his voice.

"Don't you want Ash to grow up?"

"No, not that, look! When kids become ten, they are allowed to go on a Pokémon journey, and that means-"

"I will stick him to the wall if he trys to leave us and go away, I'm not planning on getting betrayed."

"Whoa whoa whoa! I didn't say anything about betrayal."

Eevee sighed, "I know, I know, I just exaggerate things, I finally have friends who I want to stay with."

"I know what you mean, now we can stay with a human."

"Yeah, but let's not come to conclusions like that again, moving on, find me if you –"

"It's my turn to hide."

Three days later- Ash's house.

The two Pokémon bolted out of the living room like lightning, their tiny feet pounding against the floor. Their objective was clear - to be the first one to wake up their beloved trainer, Ash, they have talked about Ash's journey, and agreed on going, or at least trying to go with him on his journey, but they knew that if he did not wake up soon, their journey might not even begin.

Pikachu, being the speedy little guy that he was, quickly dashed through the house towards the door of Ash's room, and Eevee was right on his tail, determined to beat him to it. As they raced down the hall, they knew they couldn't let their trainer sleep through this big day.

"Come on, Ash! Wake up!" Eevee called out, his voice surprisingly low-pitched for such a tiny creature.

"Raise your voice, or he won't hear you", Pikachu told Eevee, as they entered the room, then he yelled, "Ash, Wake up, it's your tenth birthday, if you don't, thunder shock is coming."

"Are we sure we want this?" Eevee asked, his tiny voice back.

"We've talked about this, we'll follow him, and why the deep voice before."

"I thought that'll wake him up quicker", Eevee said, "And I meant the Thundershock thing."

"Oh! That, yeah, don't worry, Very small thunder shock", Pikachu said, letting out a weak jolt of electricity.

"What the ", Ash was shocked, literally, he quickly woke up after a second.

"told you", Pikachu said to Eevee.

"Ouch, Pikachu! Why'd you do that?" Ash asked.

"You didn't wake up."

Eevee jumped, knowing that Ash does not understand him Even if he had spoken, he pointed to Ash's alarm clock,` it also works as a normal clock, doesn't it?`

"the alarm clock?" Ash said, then he realized, "What time is it?" he quickly started to get himself ready.

As he got dressed and ready for the day ahead, Ash couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement building inside him. Today was the day he would finally set out on his Pokémon journey.

He then went downstairs and said good morning to his mom, and ran out of the house, his mom said something, but the Pokémon did not hear it well, something about hurrying up because it was too late.

"Do humans know Agility?" was Pikachu's question.

"I don't know", Eevee replied, but after seeing Ash's quick actions, I think they do.. kinda."

"Let's follow him, quick", the two rushed out of the room and the house, only to see Delia outside.

Oak's Pokémon laboratory

"What?" Ash's shock, not in a literal way, was clear, on his face and in his voice, "No starters left?"

"Yes, you were too late my boy, all the starters were given to people who arrived in time", professor Oak responded.

`the only people I know that arrive too early are Red and Leaf, so who's the, Garry`, Ash was frustrated that he didn't wake up sooner and that his rival beat him.

"So what do I do now?"

"I'm afraid you will have to wait until I have more starter Pokémon to give."

"When will that happen."

"After half a year at least."

"What? But that's too long, I have to get a starter."

"Sorry, Ash! But none are left."

"Why can't we go", Eevee asked worriedly.

"Eevee! Calm down, everything'll be fine", Pikachu said.

"But we agreed to follow him", Eevee tried to convince Pikachu.

"He'll be back, with a starter, then we'll follow him to give him the message, `we wanna go with you`, don't worry", when Pikachu said the message, he moved his paws in a way, signaling that message in body language.

Delia was waiting with several other people that live in Pallet Town for Ash, the other trainers had already left, so when Ash came back with no starter, she was surprised, she asked him what happened and he explained, Eevee didn't know how to feel at first, while Pikachu was sad, he did not want Ash to leave them, but he also wanted the boy to be happy, that is the reason he had convinced Eevee after all, after minutes of thinking, Eevee finally knew what he wanted to do, he could also feel Pikachu's sadness.

"Um, Pikachu!" he said.

"What", Pikachu replied.

"How about us becoming his starter Pokémon?"

"Hmm?" Pikachu immediately perked up, "Wait but I thought-"

"Yes or no."

"Yes, yes, yes, definitely yes, please", Pikachu pleaded.

"Pikachu?" Ash noticed Pikachu doing that, "What's wrong?"

"Oh! Right, he can't understand us", Pikachu said, "How do we tell-"

Before Pikachu could finish, Eevee had started to point at Ash, then back at them, then far away, and repeated that action a few times.

"It seems Eevee is trying to tell you something."

Ash looked where he heard the voice, "Professor?"

"I came to give you those, I thought even if you are not starting today, you will be happy to get them", the professor said, then he gave Ash Pokéballs and a Pokédex, "But Eevee gave me a better idea."

"Thanks", Ash thanked the professor for the things that the professor gave him, "But, a better idea?"

"Yes, as you three" Oak pointed to Pikachu and Eevee, and Ash "Have bonded so much, I think that you should get the two as your starters, an unusual way to get a starter, and these two are not official starters, but that is allowed."

"Really?" Ash exclaimed.

"Yes, if Pikachu and Eevee want to, I –"

"Yeah, WE DO", Pikachu and Eevee exclaimed while jumping in happiness.

"Well, it looks like they want to, you just need their Pokéballs, I'll go get them."

"OK", Ash said to the professor, then he looked at the two Pokémon standing close to him, "You hear that you two? We're gonna go on a Pokémon journey together, this is going to be so fun."

"Ya", Pikachu said.

"right", Eevee said happily.

After professor Oak gave Ash their pokéballs, Pikachu and Eevee refused to get in them.

"Well, some Pokémon don't like pokéballs", was Oak's explanation, "Either they walk with you, or you have to find another way to-"

"No pokéballs", Pikachu said, then jumped on Ash's shoulder, Eevee doing the same, jumping on Ash's other shoulder.

"Well, that solves the problem", Ash pointed out to Oak.

"Yes, it does. you're registered already and ready to go, have a good time on your journey, OK?" Oak told the boy.

"We will, right?" he asked the two Pokémon on his shoulders.

"right." Both agreed, giving a nod as well.

And so, Ash's Pokémon journey begins, what adventures will they have?

I doubt you will read very long chapters in this story until I figure out how to lengthen the chapters with interesting content.

Thank you for reading.
