"Pokémon: The Adventures Of Ash Ketchup"
By Scott D. Holmes
Chapter One "A New Beginning"

   Ash Ketchup is a kid that lives in "New Bark Town" His parents were big fans of the famous "Ash Ketchem" so they named their son Ash. Ash lives with his Dad cause his mom is part of the Elite 4 in a far off land, so Ash don't get to see her much. Ash is a big fan of "Ash Ketchem" too, he even has Ash, Brock, and Misty action figures, not to mention action figures of all 681 Pokémon.

   Today Ash turned ten, the age his Idol was when he started his Pokémon adventure. He didn't wake up on time to leave when he wanted, cause his Dad over flooded the washing machine and short-circuited the fuse box. He didn't know this though cause he was sleeping too. Ash woke up in the afternoon just to see his clock was blinking 12:00. "Dad!!!" Ash yelled, as he ran in the living room looking for his pop. "Good morning Son" His dad said. "Morning?? Do you know what time it is?" Asked Ash. "Just a sec, I'll check the TV Guide Channel." ... "1:45 pm" Dad said. "What happened to my clock, and why didn't you wake me up?" Ash asked. His Dad replied "Ask the Narrator, he knows." Ash was like "Huh?... Whatever, I got to go."

   Ash left his house and went to Proffessor Elm's Lab. He asked Elm "How is the fastest way to Pallet Town?" And she replied "Just take Mr. Briney's National Boating Service." ... "Here you go, this is a ticket on me." "Thanks!" Replied Ash. And he then got on the boat & ask the ticket guy "Is Mr. Briney on the ship?" The guy says "No, no, no, Mr. Briney past away long ago, his legend still lives on through the years though." Ash says "Sorry to hear that. May he rest in peace."

   The ship was filled with young soon to be trainers, so there wasn't any battling. Ash went to his cabin to rest, but it wasn't long before they got to Pallet town. As he gets off the boat, he looks at Proffessor Oaks Lab and says "I'm here, I have finaly begun my adventure."

   Ash walked upto the north side of town, and set off onto route #001. Ash thought Professor Oak would come out and stop him, so after a few steps he turned around & decided to just go to his Lab, but before he could make it back.... "SpEAroW!!" Ash heard as a Spearow few from the bushes right in his face. "Ahhh! Help!" Ask screamed. "Wait! This wasn't suppose to happen." Spearow few twards Ash with a peck attack. Ash jumps behind a bolder lying by the side of the path. "Geodude, Go!" a voice cries out. "Use rock throw!" Ash looks out from behind the bolder to see a strange guy standing there. The guy says "It's alright, he flew away." ... "I don't think he will bother you again." Ash comes out and says "thanks, I don't have a Pokémon yet." The guy says "You need to go get one at Proffessor Oak's Lab" Ash says "Yeah, can you walk me back incase that spearow comes back?" "Sure, My name is Brock by the way." "Brock? THE Brock?" Ash asked. "No, no, but he is my Uncle." Brock replied. "Wow, Really??" ... "Anyway, My names Ash, Ash Ketchup." "Wait, wasn't my Uncle's best friend's name Ash Ketchup?" Brock asked. "No, You're thinking of Ketchum." Ash said.

   As they get back to Pallet town, Brock waits out side while Ash goes into Oak's Lab. "I want to enjoy the sun while its still out." Brock said. Ash went inside and talked to Proffessor Oak. "Hi Porffessor." Ash said. "Please, call me Gary." Replied Prof. Gary Oak. "You're late!" ... "But I don't expect anything else from someone named after Ash Ketchum" Ash says, "I'm sorry, but I missed the first boat from New Bark cause my Dad didn't wake me." "So" Gary says, "Are you ready to start your journey?" "Absolutely, I want Pikchu! Just like Ash picked." Said Ash. "You're lucky, thats the only one I have left." Gray says "However, there is something not quite right with this one." Ash replies saying "I don't care what is wrong with it Just give me." Ash grabs the Pokéball and unleashes Pikachu. "Pi ka tuuu!" it says. Ash looks at it saying "It looks like it really likes to eat." "Yeah, thats what I was ganna tell you." gary says "He is a'lil over weight." Ashes jaw drops, then he says "A'lil?... Look at him.... He is almost as big as a Snorlax." "Well thats the only Pokémon we have." Gary says. "Okay, Hi there Pikachu." Ash says as he reaches over to pat Pikachu on the head. "Tuu!" Pikachu says. Ash freezes, then gary asks whats wrong. Ash whispers, "I can't move." Gary sprays him with prz heal and says, "Here are some prz heal, you will need them." "Thanks Proffessor, bye." Ash says. "Wait, here, you almost forgot your Pokédex." Gary said. Ash thanked him and left.

   Outside, Brock was waiting for Ash, and Brock said "It's getting late, come on we can stay the night at my friend's house here in Pallet." They walk upto Ash Ketchem's old house. They go inside and Brock introduces Ash to his friend Molly. "Molly? The Molly from Pokémon 3: Spell Of The Unown?" Ash askes with excitement in his voice. "Yes, THE Molly." ... "Glad to meet ya Ash."

   As Ash makes friends in Kanto it looks like he is starting off pretty good, beside his Pikachu being over weight. All the fun and excitement will continue in Chapter Two "The Atkins' Diet For Pikachu!"

Chapter Two "The Atkins' Diet For Pikachu!"

   It's been more than six long years since Ash Ketchup set out on his journey and there he stands at the door that leads to the Elite Four of the Daito Region. "Ash!, What do you have to say to your fans before you head off to finaly battle your own Mother?" The Reporter asked. "I couldn't have done it without my friends." Ash answers. "And Brock, What do you have to say?" He asks Brock. "Gary wants to talk to you." Brock says. "Huh?" Ash says with a questioning look on his face. "Ash, wake up! Gary is here & he wants to talk to you." Brock yells. Just then Ash realized that he was dreaming, and he woke up. "Oh, I hate sleeping, it just gets ya in trouble." He says.

   Ash came downstairs and Molly had breakfast set out on the table. "Yummy, scrambled eggs, my favorite." Ash commented. "So Gary, whats on your mind?" He asks. "Well ya see, yesterday my daughter left on her Pokémon journey, however, I don't like the idea of sending her off all alone." Gary pauses long enough to take a slip of orange juice. "This morning she called me from Viridian City, and I talked to her about it." ... "So what I want from you is to meet her there and travel with her. Do you think you could do that for me?" Gary asked. Ash thought about it for a second then said, "Sure, whats her name, and what does she look like?" "Her name is Cammy, she's blond with ponytails on each side, and a'lil shorter than you" Gary answered. "Okay then, will she be at the Pokémon Center?" Ash asked. Gary replied, "Yuppers." Ash and Brock gobbled down the rest of their food, for today they head on the road to Viridian City.

   They say goodbye to Gary and Molly, and as they were leaving Ashes Dad, of all people, was there to see him off. "Hey son!" Ashes Dad says. "Proffessor Oak called me and told me you were still in town, so I took the early boat over here to see how you were doing." "Pretty good, but look at this." ... "Come out, Pikachu!" Ash says as he throws out his Pokéball. "Pi-ka-ka, pi-pi-tu!" Pikachu said as it lies on its back as if it were a Snorlax. "What is that, a Snorchu?" Ashes Dad says as he pokes Pikachu seeing if its awake. Brock says, "No, Snorchus have little black stripes acrossed its face." "Help." Ashes Dad says as he can not move an inch do to paralysis. "I'll take care of Max, you just go take care of my daughter." Gary says. "Bye son." Max whispers with a blank look on his face.

   Now as Ash and Brock go down Rt.001 for real this time, Ash eyes the sky hoping he will see the legendary Ho-oh. Further down the path, two strangers seem to be doing something. What? It is unclear. "Stupid Narrator, can't you see it IS clear." Said, what appears to be a talking Persian. "So I talk, do you have a problem with that?" "Shut up Meowth!" One of the strangers say. "Get over here and help us with this glass cage." "But Lawrence, how can I help ya with something I can't even see?" Asked the Persian named Meowth. "Okay, Martin and I won't split you in on the reward we're ganna get from The Boss." Lawrence said laughingly. Meowth asks, "What good is this going to do anyways?" Lawrence says, "When the next trainers come down this path, they will walk in the cage and we will steal all their Pokémon."

   Meanwhile, a motorcycle is coming from the direction of Pallet Town. "Whats that?" Brock asks. "Looks like a Growlithe." ... "Oh, hey, its officer Jenny." Says Ash. Jenny pulls up and stops by them, she gets off the cycle and says, "You two better be carefull, there are Pokémon thieves in the area." Ash asks Brock, "Hey, aren't you ganna go tell her she is pretty?" Brock replies, "No, I may have the same name as my Uncle, but I don't act like him." "Okay then, I will." ... Ash says ... "Oh Jenny, you are even more beautifull than I have seen on TV." She then replies saying, "Please stop that, you're freaking me out." "Sorry." Ash says as he turns around looking at the ground with an embarrassed look on his face. "So, are you starting an adventure?" Jenny asks Ash. "Yeah, I already have my first Pokémon." Ash says as he grabs his Pokéball and tosses it out. "Come out Pikachu!" As he pops out of the ball he cries out his name and wobbles over trying to hug Jenny. "Ahh!!! Get him off me!" She says as she can not help herself do to paralysis. Ash calls back Pikachu, and Brock gives Jenny a prz heal. "You know, that Pikachu of your's is a'lil overweight." She says. Then Ash asks, "Do you know anyway I can get it to lose some weight?" Jenny answers him saying, "Yeah! There is a office in Pewter City that can put him on the Atkins' Diet." "Great, then thats where I will go then." Ash says with joy in his voice. Jenny says, "Well I better get back to looking for those thieves. I'll look around here and then start heading back to Viridian City." Ash bids farewell and set back on the path with Brock to Viridian.

   At the north end of Rt.001, Team Rocket are just finishing up their trap. "Okay, I'll help yas out." Meowth says, as he walks in where the others were checking out the inside of the trap. "NOOOO!" Yelled Martin. They heard a click as Meowth trips over the trigger of the trap. "Now you've done it. How are we going to get out of here now?" Said Lawrence.

   Ash and Brock come peeking over the hill, and they see the two strangers with their hands pressed up against the glass. "Oh look, Brock, Mimes." Said Ash. Brock replies saying, "Mimes normaly have a Mr. Mime with them though, not a Persian." Ash says, "I'd leave them a Pokébuck, but I don't see a pan or hat to put it in." "Oh well, you need to meet Cammy at the Viridian Pokémon Center, so lets get going." Brock reminded Ash. Ash says, "Bye mime people. Good luck with your act." Soon after that, they went around the corner and saw that Viridian City is just over the next hill.

   As Ash and Brock approach Viridian, they bask in the sunlight that peaks over the dusk sky. Will Ash ever get his Pikachu to lose weight? Will he have a true Rival like Gary was to Ash Ketchem?
