Hey, this is my first story on fanfiction.net and I thought I'd give it a try. I don't usually write aamrn, but this idea was so cute, I couldn't resist

This chapter is really just the prologue. Since the story takes place 10 years in the future, I just thought it'd be a creative way to update all readers on what's happened. Enjoy.



Dear Diary,

Ash and Misty were made for each other, we all agree on that much. I've been looking into the stories of when they first met. It's absolutely fascinating. Did you know that they used to hate each others guts, and the only reason Misty followed Ash originally was to get a new bike? Or that one of the Orange gym leaders named Rudy fell in love with Misty, and when she had to chose between the two of them, she chose Ash? And you ask, why is it, ten years later, that nothing's ever happened? Good question. I wish I had an answer.

But more on their pasts later. After all, it's, well, in the past. Here's the situation. A lot can happen in ten years, and a lot did. No, Ash and Misty never have gone out on a date, and no, they've never kissed. They've hugged a few times, but whether it was a brother-sister type hug or something more, even they're not sure. Each day, each new adventure, these two grew closer than ever, but so far, nothing has come out of it.

After lots of hard work, Ash became a champion in every part of the Pokemon League that he competed in. He was always finding new pokemon, and even if they never seemed that strong, he put all of his heart into them until his team became renown in many places. Pikachu, having been with him from the very beginning, continued to take Ash to the top. Eventually, Pikachu became so strong, that even if there was a way to measure its exact level, it would be off the charts. As long as Ash has been nearby, Pikachu has never lost a battle in a very long time.

Ash succeeded in his dream of becoming a pokemon master. Many people think that he just might be the greatest master ever. His mom couldn't be more proud. With great pokemon and an even greater heart, he went straight to the top. Ash is now the grand champion of the Pokemon League. He is head of the Elite Four which includes a new batch of masters.

Ash's rival Gary is also well-known as a great master. Their story is fairly interesting. As you know, they were always in competition, always claiming to be better than the other. They've both shown strengths and weaknesses in various areas. Well, Gary became a master before Ash, and actually went to the top then. To become the Grand Champion of the Pokemon League, Ash had to beat Gary, and he did. However, a few weeks later, Gary came back for a rematch and won. The moment Ash's pokemon were healed, he then demanded another rematch. Gary made him wait at least a month. Ash won that next time and has remained champion ever since. Gary eventually accepted this and gratefully received a position in the Elite Four.

Another Elite Four master you might know is Richie. He usually keeps the peace between Ash and Gary. He is well-liked and fun to be around. Richie's close friendship with Ash has never wavered. I don't know the other two masters in the Elite Four very well, but if I ever find out anything interesting, you can be sure I'll tell you.

Brock became a master breeder. He is now the official breeder of the Indigo League Games and to the Elite Four. Even Ash will come to him every so often for advice. But Brock isn't tied down in one place. He will occasionally take a trip to some part of Kanto, Johto, or the Orange Islands to pick up some new techniques, to investigate a new pokemon or poke-problem or just to keep in practice. Ash has been known to go with him a couple times as well. Still, the poor guy hasn't found a girl yet who would commit herself to him. (But, I have it on good authority that lately he's had several long conversations with one of Misty's sisters. Let's see if this one will last)

Professor Oak has officially retired from his work at studying pokemon and teaching future trainers. However, that doesn't end his love of pokemon or his fascination with the ways they live. He is still highly respected and occasionally he is still consulted about various matters.

Tracey has taken over the Professor's lab and is quickly making a name for himself in the world of pokemon research. Already, he is occasionally called upon when a new or unusual pokemon is discovered. Still learning, Tracey employs the help of Brock and, once in a while, Professor Oak in the training of new trainers; never forgetting his friend Ash, and teaching others to care for pokemon like him. Tracey refuses to let anyone call him "professor" or "Dr. Sketchet" and goes by his first name.

Todd, having established himself as the greatest pokemon photo-master a long time ago, still loves hunting for a good shot. Although he is mostly independent, he and Ash have had some meaningful conversations. When Tracey is able to contact him, Todd is usually one of the first photographers to find out about and see any important discoveries.

Team Rocket is past it's glory days. After becoming the champion, Ash led the Elite Four in a terrific battle that proved to be devastating for this criminal organization. Giovanni is behind bars for life along with Cassidy and Butch who have a number of years left. Most of Giovanni's minions were placed in jail for various amounts of time. There are still a number of this criminal group who haven't yet been apprehended and work independently or in small gangs.

Jessie, James, and Meowth, since they had never actually succeeded in stealing anything, were released on probation. They got honest jobs, but they never lasted very long in any particular situation. They still resort to petty theft when they're hungry and have been known to bother newer trainers looking for any rare pokemon to make a few bucks from. Because they haven't yet been arrested, I assume that they still haven't succeeded. They eventually gave up on Pikachu when it became just too powerful

And, well, since Team Rocket was disbanded, the Viridian City gym has been closed down with no sign of being reopened. Except for the Celadon City, and Saffron City gyms, the rest are under new leadership. Brock's younger brother Blake now runs the Pewter City gym for their father. Also, three new gyms have become official Pokemon League gyms: the Yas & Kas gyms - which had to undergo a special inspection by Ash himself - and the Fighting Spirit Gym.

Misty's sisters finally gave up being gym leaders in hopes of taking their shows on the road. They are currently on tour at Belensia Island. They closed their gym temporarily, but after Ash became the champion and stopped traveling as much, Misty moved back home and reopened the gym. She has proven herself as a master of water pokemon, and with a tough team of experienced water pokemon, Misty is known as the toughest gym leader in Kanto.

She and Ash are still close and they visit each other whenever they can as well as their other close friends who have spread out. But they both lead their own lives and one can only wonder if things will ever work out between the two of them.



don't worry, there's not really much diary stuff in this story. Personally, I think diarys are boring, but then again, so is me just telling u what happened. Now that that's out of the way…. Keep reading!
