I wrote this a year ago, but it's still
good, and I revised it a little so it's written better, but I still love the
idea, and I hope you do to!
So this is what I think is going to happen 13
years (or something close to that) from the
show.
Ash Ketchum sat
down at small, but clean desk. It was a normal computer desk, space for the
monitor, PC, printer and keyboard. There were a few sections for some CDs and
some papers stuffed to the right of the computer. He stretched slightly, making
himself comfortable. He would be here a lot, might as well make sure he would be
enjoying it without backaches. A sandwich and a drink sat beside him for the
long day of typing. He turned on his computer and his fingers started to go.
A lot of people have been asking about how I got here and about the
people who helped me get where I am, so I decided to write something about it.
So here is just a small - but important - portion of my story….
Once I
had finally beaten the Johto league, my friends and I finally made way out to
Kanto so I could fulfill my dream of being a pokemon master.
At the time
I had two people traveling with me.
One’s name was Brock. He was the big
brother I never had. He taught me about girls, mostly about what I shouldn’t do.
He was totally girl crazy. Twice he tried to leave us for a girl. Once was for a
breeder who owned her own shop named Suzie. They both almost looked right
together, I was almost about to invite her to join with us because she wanted to
learn more about pokemon. The next time he wanted to leave, he succeeded that
time. He fell in love with Prof. Ivy, and stayed with her. He came back after we
(Me, Tracey, and Misty) had come back from the Orange Islands. After that, he
stayed with me most of the time.
One of my other people friends was
Tracey. He wasn’t there a while, but he sure helped us out a lot. After Brock
left, he was my older brother, although, occasionally, he really did act kind of
gay. Off all the love crazy people, we had to get both of them. Tracey likes to
trace pokemon – and girls. He likes Nurse Joys. It sure looks like Brock has
some competition! Then he left because he was a huge fan of Prof. Oak’s and he
wanted to stay with him, luckily, Brock was back at my house, so he traveled
with us. But seriously, I’m glad he came, if he didn’t me and Misty would’ve
killed each other.
Speaking of Misty, she was my best human friend.
Despite the times we almost killed each other, and acted like we hated each
other, at least, I acted, but I never meant any of the things I said. If you’re
reading this, I’m sorry Misty. Many people told us, ‘You hurt the one you love’.
And it’s been proven right many times. Misty stayed with me the whole time. At
first, the only reason she followed me was because of some dumb bike, but later
on, (much later) she told me she followed me because she wanted a friend. And
you know, I still never paid her back for her bike… Oops! MISTY DON’T READ THIS!
Do you know how long it took for her to completely forget about the bike? This
won’t help! But, besides that, she helped me in so many ways! I guess the reason
I showed off so much was to impress her, and she pushed and shoved me to be a
master.
Well, those are the people who have helped me. Well, actually,
there are two more people, Jessie and James. Although, people may be thinking
I’ve had some brain damage for saying that, but they really have helped us many
times, and if they weren’t after my Pikachu, who knows what other rockets would
be after me. So, thank-you Jessie, James, and even Meowth.
Of course, my
mother, Prof. Oak, and many other people helped me get this far, but the main
people were Brock, Tracey, Misty, and even Jessie, James, and
Meowth.
I’ve told some pretty funny stories about what happened from when
I started to when I won the Johto. So I’m going to tell you about after the
Johto. When I began to see there was more to life then just pokemon, I began to
realize more about my friends and how they were just as important as pokemon.
Who knows, maybe some people will read this and since I can’t say many things
out loud, maybe people will see how grateful or hurt I was….
We were
walking from the end of Johto to my home in Pallet, and nothing had changed.
"Ash Ketchum, do you even have a clue as to where we are?" 14 year old
Misty Waterflower screamed in my face. Even now, I’m as bad as I was when I was
13. I’m ‘directionally challenged’ as I like to put it. Misty liked to put it as
–
"You are so dense Ash Ketchum! I can’t believe you don’t even know how
to get home!"
Brock stepped in as the many times he or Pikachu has done
before.
"Give him a break Misty, you know he’s trying, and besides, this
isn’t very knew, and hitting him will only make it worse."
Misty sighed,
defeated and threw up her hands. "Whatever. I just want to get into a nice, warm
soft bed!" Her eyes started to sparkle. "Maybe if we go somewhere else other
than Pallet, we can sleep in one of those fancy hotels! Then we can get nice hot
baths and sleep in warm beds!" She sighed happily and pictured herself in one of
those hotels.
I stifled a laugh. "Like we could ever afford
that."
Misty sighed once again. "I know, a girl can dream, can’t
she?"
"No. OW!"
Brock stood over me and shook his head.
"Grasshopper have big mouth-"
"But little sense, I know I
know!"
"Then show it!"
I think that ‘Grasshopper have big mouth
but little sense’ was and still is Brock’s favorite saying for me. You know what
the worst part is? It was, and always will be true.
I rubbed my head and
sat up. My Pikachu came up to me with a concerned look. "Pikachu Pika-Pi?
Pikachu, Pika Pikachu. ((How are you doing Pika-Pi? You know, Brock is
right.))"
I groaned. Why is everyone on my case? We’ve been together for
three years, and for three years I had to put up with it. Well, actually, I have
to put up with it for the rest of my life. I can’t even begin to count how many
times my big mouth has gotten me into some serious trouble. (Mostly from misty
and Pikachu) But some other times and I don’t even want to
mention!
"Hey!" Misty cried. We all looked at her.
"What?" I
asked.
"That tree looks familiar!" She pointed to a tree.
She was
right; it was the same distinct tree we had been admiring for the past forty
times we’d past it. "Uh, maybe it’s not so distinct," I said putting my hands up
in front of me. I backed up nervously from the glaring eyes of Misty. One of
those, ‘If looks could kill….’….
Misty grumbled something and snatched
the map out of my hands. She studied it for a moment then declared. "I’m so sick
of getting lost! I’m going to show off my wonderful sense of
direction."
"Gee Misty, that’s kind of hard without any sense at
all-OWWWW OW OW OW!"
Brock and Pikachu just shook their heads. "Don’t
even say it." I growled.
They both smiled and walked on to follow Misty.
I sighed and ran to catch up with them.
A half an hour later,
guess where we were?
"Mom, I’m home!" Home. It turned out, all we had to
do was walk around a large mountain and there was Pallet, once again showing off
my ‘directionally challenged’ problem.
"Oh! You’re home!" We ran to each
other with one of those, ‘John! Marsha!’ scene, but of course, same old
mom.
"How are you doing Pikachu and Togepi?" She walked right under my
open arms right up to Pikachu and Togepi.
"Pikachu! ((Just
fine!))"
"Toge! ((Peachy!))"
"Hi Mrs. Ketchum!" Misty greeted mom
with a hug.
"Hello dear! How’ve you been? Oh I’ve been wondering…" She
leaned over and whispered something in Misty’s ear that made her blush like mad
and shake her head violently.
I cocked my head in confusion and was
about to ask what she asked Misty, but something stopped me.
"MIME MR.
MIME! MIME! ((Oh no, not you again! LET GO!))"
We all turned our heads
and saw Mr. Mime and Brock having a tug-o-war with the broom.
"NO! You
get to mop all the time while I’m not here so let me have it!"
We all
stared at them with a large sweat drop growing on our heads.
Finally mom
was the first to brake out of her phase. "Alright you two! Now stop it!" She
clapped her hands and put them on her hips.
"Now, I know how to solve
this, Brock, how about you go to the store for me while Mr. Mime continues to
sweep. How is that?"
Brock and Mr. Mime nodded. Mom walked over to the
cubboard and pulled out a large piece of paper filled with items of things to
buy. "I’ll expect you back in four hours." She shoved the list into his hands,
"Have fun!"
Brock just stared and that large list and walked off in
surprise. Misty and I just stood there. "Now see that right there? That was
messed up." Misty started. A thought suddenly entered into my mind.
"Hey
Brock!" I cried running out the door.
Brock looked up form the long list
he was reading. "When you get back form the store, do you want to do my
chores?"
Brock laughed. "Not a chance!" I sighed and slumped my
shoulders. It was worth a try.
When I got back in, I found Misty and my
mom talking about something on the couch in the living room. I was trying to be
quiet, but Pikachu and Togepi are more observant than I thought.
"Pika
Pika-Pi! ((Hey Pika-Pi!))"
"Toge Togepri Toge Togepriiiii? ((Why were you
sneaking around Daddy?))"
I don’t know when Togepi started calling me
daddy, but he did…
"Oh Ash! Don’t sneak up like that!" Misty snapped.
Mom was about to comment when –
*Ring ring* Phone call phone call!
"Hello?" Mom picked up
the phone.
"Oh! Hold on please!" She motioned for Misty and me to come
over and turned on the speaker phone.
"Hi Ash and Misty!"
"Hi
Professor Oak!"
"I see you all are doing
fine!"
"Yep!"
"Where’s Brock?"
"He went shopping for
mom."
"Oh, so he won’t be back for three or four
hours."
"Right."
"Ok, well, I’ll be over in a minute, I would like
to discuss something with you and Misty, ok Ash."
"OK."
Professor
Oak was at our house in five minutes, that's the advantage of being in a small
town - everyone's five minutes from everyone.
"Go ahead and make
yourself at home Professor!" Mom said motioning to the couches.
Misty,
Professor Oak and I sat down in the Living room.
"So when does the
pokemon league start?"
"In two weeks."
"Two weeks?!
Wow!"
"Yes, and Misty the element competition is two weeks after that. I
know you like water so, I thought you would like to participate in
that."
"Oh I would! Thank-you!" She nodded her head to emphasize her
eagerness, then turned to wink at Ash, "Well Ash, looks like we both will be
training."
"Yea. Thanks Professor! We’ll train hard!"
"I’m sure
you will! Now I have to go, so you two be good!"
"We will!"
After
he left Misty jumped up. "Let’s go to the river Ash! I want to catch some
pokemon!"
"Ok."
So we were off.
We went to a lake about
five miles from my house. Actually, I never told Misty, but we got lost and I’d
never seen this lake before.
So we fished.
And we
fished.
And we fished.
And just for a change of pace, we fished
some more.
Finally after 3 and a half-hours, Misty's line
jerked.
"Ash! I think I caught something!"
"Pull it
up!"
Misty pulled it up, a little too easy.
"Magicarp carp!
((Weeeeeee!))"
"Aw!" She picked it up by it's tail to examine it. "It’s
just a Magicarp!" She was about to throw it back when I stopped her.
"Wait Misty! Maybe you can evolve it! It looks strong enough to evolve
into a Gyarados soon."
"You’re right!" She reached in her pack, searching
for an empty poke'ball. "Found it!" She declared. She enlarge it and let it fly.
"Poke’ball go!" And with little effort, Misty caught a Magicarp.
As soon
as we went back to fishing, Misty caught something else! This time it was a lot
harder to pull!
"Ash!" She cried, "Help me!" She dug her heels into the
ground to stop from sliding into the water. I quickly grabbed on to Misty’s poll
to help her pull.
Suddenly, whatever was on Misty’s poll gave up and it,
and us went flying backwards. Along with the pokemon flying over our heads to
land behind us.
"OH MY GOSH!"
"Aaaa? ((Hello?))"
"It’s a
Dratini!"
"I’m gonna catch it! Go Staru!"
"HYIA!
((Ready!))"
"Staru, tackle!"
"HYIA!"
Dratini was hit pretty
good, but wasn’t going down without a fight. Dratini powered up, drawing light
into it's mouth and hit Staru with a hyper beam!
"Return Staru! Go
Togepi! Charm!"
Togepi waddled up and clung to Dratini.
"Poke’ball
go!" Dratini disappeared in the ball. Did she catch it? NO! After three shakes,
It popped out again.
"Aw! I was so close! Togepi,
Metronome!"
"Toge, Toge…"
It was a Thunder shock! I wish I were
that lucky...
Misty used the poke’ball again, and this time she caught
it.
"ALRIGHT! I CAUGHT A DRATINI!"
"Alright Misty! Now we can
train with each other!"
"Ok!"
And so, we both trained with each
other for one week, and in that one week, I was right, Magicarp was about to
evolve, unfortunately, we weren’t ready…"
"Wow! Look Ash! Magicarp is
evolving!"
"GAAAAA!"
"AGHHHHHHHHH!" I ran. I ran like crazy. It
came charging after me for some unknown reason.
"GYARADOS stop! STOP!
STOOOOOP!" Gyarados finally stopped.
She walked up to it and went right
into its face, pulling slightly on it's nose. "Are you going to listen to me
now?"
It hesitated a bit. "ARE YOU?!"
Scared, it nodded its head
vigorously.
Me? I was shocked, A Gyarados was listening to Misty that
easily? Although, it really shouldn't be that big of a shock, misty can be quite
scary!
The next week, Dratini evolved too. It was obviously also ready to
evolve. So Misty had four new pokemon, and what did I get? None. But since
Misty’s pokemon weren’t as trained, luckily, I won most of the time.
And
soon, it was time for the pokemon league, and this time, I as more determined
than ever to win!
Ash sighed happily and stretched. He looked
at his watch it was already 9:00 at night. He quickly shut off his computer and
headed of to bed. The next part of his life would be tomorrow. Till then, the
computer sat there.
So, how’d you like it? I thought it was actually pretty good! (Wow! I’m saying good things about my stories! Aren’t you proud of me?!)
*please keep in mind I wrote this
a year ago, the chapters get better as it goes* ^_^
