"Ashley get to sleep!" Ash Ketchum yelled at his and his wife of four years, Misty, son. It was about twenty years since Ash had left his house that day to become a Pokemon Master, and finally after many years he had succeeded. He was now 30 and Misty was 32. They decided to get married because they truly loved each other and then they decided to try for a baby, and in no time at all Misty was pregnant and then within 9 months Ashley had been born.

"Ashley get to sleep this instant!" Ash yelled as he opened his son's bedroom door.

"Sorry Dad, I just can't wait till tomorrow!" He said, sighing.

"I know how you feel son, just you don't want to be late for the retrieval of your Pokemon!" Ash said laughing as he went over to his son and kissed him goodnight.

"Now get some sleep!" Ash smirked as he took out the batteries off his son's TV remote and turned the TV off.

"OK Dad!" Ashley moaned as his dad closed his door. He soon felt himself drift off to sleep. Ash was back in his and Misty's room and they were lying next to each other talking about Ashley and his oncoming Pokemon adventure.

"I think we should make sure he get's up early so he can get the Pokemon he would like." Misty said as she tapped her husbands nose. Ash giggled.

"Well, who knows what Pokemon he might get if he's late up. After all since Gary took over his Grandfathers job after he died and all those Pokemon had been discovered it would be no mystery if he gets a strange Pokemon." Ash and Misty were giggling as they kissed each other goodnight before falling asleep in each others arms.

"ASHLEY!" Misty yelled from the kitchen, waking up her sleeping son.

"W..W, WHAT?" He managed to mumble as he rolled out of bed. He looked at his alarm clock and noticed that it was 9:26 and he had until 10 o'clock to retrieve his Pokemon from Professor Gary Oak.

When Ashley finally managed to get dressed and head downstairs for breakfast he noticed that his dad had packed his bag full of items he might need, like a sleeping bag and a tent, and his mum had made breakfast for him.

After breakfast Ashley noticed that the time was 9:51 so he grabbed his bag and gave his mum and dad one quick hug and kiss before leaving for the Oak Laboratory. The road to Oak's Laboratory was not a long one, but had a hill in between his house and the Lab. He walked steadily over to the Lab and by the time he had reached the Lab he saw that three other trainers were there, one being Gary's son, Peter. Ashley walked over to Peter and they started to talk about what Pokemon they wanted.

"Hey Ashley, what Pokemon do you want?" Peter asked, looking over at his father who was readying the Pokeballs and Pokedexes. One by one they stepped up until only Peter and Ashley remained. The problem was that there was only one Pokeball left, a Squirtle.

"Hey Ashley, you take the Pokemon, I can always get dad to get me another one." Peter said, Ashley was quick to protest though, saying that it was his.

"Are you sure Ashley, you can take it you know!"

"Nah, you take it! Your dad had a Squirtle after all so it fits in with the family!" Gary just smiled at this remark and Peter went and grabbed his Pokemon. He smiled at Ashley and they shook each others hands.

"See you around Ashley!" Peter said, looking disappointed that they wont get to spend as much time together as they used to.

"It's ok! See you around!" They both smiled as Peter left before him, heading out on his own Pokemon adventure.

"Well, Ashley, it seems if there is no Pokemon left!" Gary looked sad for the boy.

"Ahh, It's ok, I can always borrow one of my dads." He said shrugging.

"Well, there is one thing I could do..." Gary said, pointing at the middle of the Pokeball stadium.

"What?" Ashley said, looking confused. Gary flicked a switch and a Pokeball popped up. The Pokeball had a brown fist-like shape on it and Gary passed the ball over to Ashley.

"Thank you Professor!" Ashley was beaming.

"GO POKEBALL!" Ashley yelled as a beam of white burst out of the Pokeball and hit the floor...

HEHE! I feel horrible for the cliffhanger but if you could leave some constructive criticism that would be great! Don't forget to R&R! Peace!
