Chapter 1 - Home Sweet Home

Ash and Pikachu were walking down the path that leads to Pallet Town, on their way home from the Kalos Region, after saying farewell to Clement, Bonnie, and Serena at the airport. Ash was proud of himself and his Pokémon since the Kalos Leauge, although Ash lost to Alain the battle had only made him stronger. Goodra was back in the Wetlands with its friends and Greninja was helping Zygarde with the root problem in Kalos.

"We did good in Kalos didn't we Pikachu?" Asked Ash.

"Pikachu! (We sure did Ash!)" Pikachu replied happily.

"I know we'll get stronger and next time we'll win for sure!" Said Ash.

Sometime later they reached Pallet Town and saw not much had changed.

"Let's go buddy!" Ash called.

"Pika! (Race you!)" Pikachu called back.

And the 2 ran down the hill towards Ash's house and it ended in a tie with them both reaching the doorstep together.

"Mom I'm home!" Called Ash the door opened and their was Delia Ketchum Ash's mother.

"Welcome home you 2!" She said greeting them with a hug. "Ash all your friends are waiting for you upstairs."

"Really? Come on Pikachu!" Ash said excitedly.

"Pikachu Pika Pi! (I'm right behind you Ash!)" The little Pokémon called back.

Ash and Pikachu hope that all their friends will be happy to see them again. But little did they know is that some of them aren't happy. But that's another chapter.
