The sun has risen in Pallet Town the Pidgey were out bright and early chirping letting its inhabitants know that it was morning and that it was time to get up. In a room upstairs lay a boy who was about to have the most exciting adventure of his life but doesn't know that yet.

An alarm clock went off at 7:30 alerting the boy that it was time to get up and do his daily routine. Waking up with a grumble he turned the alarm off and looked at the window with a smile it showed three Pokémon eggs he had found in the forest.

5-Years Ago

Ash was running through the forest playing with some Pokémon he found just sitting around looking bored out of their minds so he asked if they wanted to play with him which they responded with a corresponding yes. He laughed and asked them what they wanted to play, the said they wanted to play hide and seek he agreed which surprised the little Pokémon. They asked if he could actually understand them, which he replied to with a "yes". That seemed to make them happy, it had been a long time since there was a human that could communicate with them. As Ash was counting down to ten and the Pokémon was hiding quietly he noticed three eggs from behind the tree he was leaning on. Walking from behind the tree he was able to get a good look at them. There were three; one had yellow at the tip with the center of it black and the bottom of it blue. The second one was blue with white spots at the tip with one in the middle and one at the bottom. The third was big it was bigger then the others the top was covered in green with a red horn sticking out of it while the bottom half was white.

For some reason he felt a pull coming from the eggs almost as if they were calling out to him. He touched the black and blue one and felt a surge of power surround him, it felt both calming and powerful. He felt his vision turn blue almost as if he can see things differently than what other people see. After awhile his felt his vision return to normal but his hand was still on the egg, he picked up the two smaller eggs but needed help with the third big one. His problem was solved when one of the Pokémon he was playing with used vine whip to grab the egg he thanked the little Pokémon and they began walking to his home. The Pokémon brought the egg up to his room by using the window setting it on the window seal, while Ash walked through the front doors heading upstairs to his room putting the two eggs next to the big one.

Waving goodbye to his friend he laid in his bed closing his eye with a smile on his face.

Now

Having finally gotten dressed for the day he put the eggs (Even the big one) in his backpack and headed downstairs to begin his journey. When he made it downstairs he was greeted by the sight if his mom smiling at him.

"Oh, look at you! You look so handsome in your training clothes!" Delia Ketchum squealed happy that her son was finally starting his journey.

"Mom! What are you doing up so early?" Ash said surprised that his mother was up.

She giggled, "I knew you would get up early so you could start your journey so I set my alarm at 6:30 and waited for you." she explained.

Ash sweat-dropped. That's mom for you.

"Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you have everything ready. You do right?" she asked.

"Yep! I'm all set!" he said happily.

"Your almost set, hold on." She walked into the kitchen then came back with Pokémon food and normal food with a little pot for Ash to make food for himself and his Pokémon if he wants.

"Oh wow! Thanks mom!" he took the items out of her hand and out them in his backpack putting the eggs on top of them so they wouldn't get harmed. Putting his backpack back on he headed out the door, "Bye mom!" he said.

"Goodbye honey, be safe on your journey!" she yelled back waving at her sons back.

Ash was heading straight to Prof. Oak's lab to get his starter Pokémon and set off on his journey. When he arrived he saw that no one else was there, it was only natural because the time for people to arrive to get their starter Pokémon was 10:00 am. He knocked on the door hearing someone yell 'coming', the person who opened the door was none other than Prof. Oak.

"I was wondering who was knocking at my door so early in the morning, its nice to see you Ash!" he smiled.

"Sorry Prof. Oak, were you sleeping?" he asked wondering if he was asleep.

The Prof. just waved it off, "Not at all you see I'm always up early. Now then come inside you probably want your starter Pokémon right?"

Ash nodded his head, "That's right," he said walking inside.

"I'm actually glad you came here early because I have the perfect Pokémon for you!" he said enthusiastically.

The boy raised an eyebrow, "What kind of Pokémon?" He asked.

The professor simply laughed, "You'll see."

Ash was confused but didn't question it he simply followed the man to his lab. They walked all the way back to the lab where he saw four poke balls, one had a fire symbol on it, the other one had a water symbol on it, the next one had a grass symbol on it, and the last one had a thunder symbol on it.

Prof. Oak walked behind the one with the thunder symbol on it, "The Pokémon in this poke ball will be your starter Pokémon but I must warn you, he doesn't exactly have a nice attitude." He released the Pokémon from the poke ball and revealed a yellow mouse with red cheeks, brown stripes and a tail in the shape of a lightning bolt.

"A Pikachu." Ash said.

"That's right, and as you probably already know its an electric type Pokémon. You see I found him chewing on some wires outside and captured him and got shocked because of it," he laughed.

Ash stared at Pikachu and Pikachu stared back wary of Ash thinking he might force him into obeying him. The boy smiled and leaned down, "Hi, my names Ash," he said gently putting a hand out to the mouse, "Is it alright if I touch you?" he asked.

Pikachu was surprised he came across humans before trying to force him into obeying them but this boy was different he actually asked if it was okay to touch him. He nodded yes and allowed Ash to touch him.

Ash touched Pikachu's cheek the moment he did he felt a strange pulse like feeling and thought for a split second he saw Pikachu turn blue but it disappeared soon after. In that short instant he closed his eyes and felt all of Pikachu's memories, he felt anger and mistrust towards humans but the those emotions soon faded and were replaced with love and loyalty. When Ash opened his eyes he saw the Pokémon nuzzling his hand with his eyes closed saying 'cha' symbolizing that he liked it. Ash felt happy that Pikachu was happy, the mouse Pokémon hopped on his shoulder rubbing his cheek against Ash's. The raven-haired teen rubbed Pikachu's head, "Prof. I choose Pikachu."

Prof. Oak wasn't surprised that Ash befriended Pikachu so easily, when it comes to Pokémon Ash always had a way with them and loved them dearly and they loved him back.

"Well then Ash let me just get your Pokédex and poke balls and you'll be all se-'' he was cut off when another Pokémon appeared and grabbed Ash's pants getting his attention. Ash looked down in shock, the Pokémon had white fur with the tips of its ears curled. The tuft of fur between its ears was yellow and curled; the collar of fur around its neck was also yellow with a curl rising up to its face it had yellow eyes with red pupils. The tails were yellow at the base and end in white fluffy curls. Its arms were white and end in yellow and its legs were yellow.

Ash looked at Prof. Oak the look of shock not leaving his face, "Prof. Oak this Pokémon is a-''

"A Shiny Meowstic." He finished for him; "You see her trainer abandoned her because she would ignore the trainers commands in battle probably because of the lack of trust." He explained. Ash felt angry what kind of trainer just abandons their Pokémon like that without any hesitation?

"This is the first time I'm seeing her interacting with someone. She must really like you Ash." He complemented. Ash was still kind of surprised that a Pokémon from the Kalos region would end up with Prof. Oak but after hearing the explanation he didn't comment on it. He bent down and asked the same question he asked Pikachu, "Is it alright if I touch you?" the female Shiny Meowstic said 'yes' without any hesitation. He pet her on the head and felt the same sensation he did with Pikachu and felt her emotions, which was only mistrust but like Pikachu the emotion faded as well and she began purring liking the petting.

"Its settled!" the Prof. said, "Meowstic will be going with you on your journey!"

Ash's eyes got big, "Wait a minute Prof. is that okay?"

"Of course it is my boy, she's obviously taken a liking to you so why not take her with you besides I think she likes being with you more than her previous trainer." He said.

Ash had to admit that he liked the cat Pokémon and wouldn't mind adding her to the family. "Is that alright with you Meowstic?" he asked.

She responded by lifting herself up and into Ash's arms, she was facing Prof. Oak and rubbed her head against her new trainer. "Looks like that's a yes."

"Excellent! Now then lets get your Pokédex and Pokéballs shall we?" he said.

"Right!" Ash said.

Prof. Oak handed him his Pokédex and sixteen Pokéballs he asked why he gave him sixteen instead of five the old man said that Ash had three eggs with him and he would want to keep them on his journey.

"Thank you so much Prof." Ash said.

"Think nothing of it my boy. Now go on its time to start your journey." He smiled at the boy, "Oh, I almost forgot before you go I have some egg incubators for you so your eggs will be safe and warm." The Prof. pulled out three egg incubators and gave them to Ash. Ash took the eggs out of his backpack and put them in the incubators and put them back in his bag.

"Thanks Prof. well I'm off." He said running out the door with his two Pokémon.

"Be safe on your journey Ash and I hope you find what you're looking for." Prof. Oak said.

Ash ran outside to the town border and saw his mom waiting for him, "Mom! What are doing here?" he asked having stopped running.

Instead of answering his question she engulfed him in a hug squeezing the air out of him, "M-mom, can't breathe." He wheezed.

She reluctantly let go, "Sorry. I'm just so proud of you. Going off on your very own journey just like your father."

Ash stiffened she mentioned his father before but every time he tried to ask she would start crying. He felt both Pikachu and Meowstic rub against him out of worry he shook his head and smiled. "Thanks mom."

She rubbed her face "Oh look at me crying like this I'm just really proud of you I know you'll do well out there and Pikachu, Meowstic please take good care of him." She said smiling at the Pokémon.

"Pi Pikachu!" Pikachu said.

"Meowstic Meow!" Meowstic said.

Ash wasn't surprised when he heard them speak after all he's been able to understand them ever since he was little. His mother not knowing what they said simply petted them on their heads getting a pleasant growl from them both.

"Now then, off you go!" she said.

"Right! Bye mom I'll be sure to contact you once I make it to Viridian City!" he said running with his two Pokémon and eggs his mother waving behind him as she watched his retreating for with a smile.

"You can do it. I know you can."
