Now we can see a 12-year-old Ash Ketchum looking at the broken alarm clock which shows 10:00 am.

{ 'What I am late again. I don't know why I wake up late from past few days ' } thought ash

Along with him there is a yellow mouse still sleeping having a tall lightning bolt shaped tail, red eyes, black cheeks.

He was staying with ash for past 6 years. He plays with ash, trains with Ash's other Pokemon friends. This yellow mouse is called Pikachu, the electric type Pokemon which stores electricity in its red circular sacs present on its cheeks but ash's pikachu has black pouches which is larger than a trained raichu storage .

"Aww man I am gonna late," said ash groaning

From past 8 years, ash always woke up before the dawn but today the day is different. Today he was going to get his trainer license. Well, he already has a team of 6 Pokémon and few of them are in their second stage while others are in their final stage.

Pikachu on other hand doesn't want to evolve and he doesn't like to stay in Pokeball.

He quickly got up get took shower changed his outfit. He quickly grabs the black on silver jeans and running shoes. Blue hooded jacket. And a red cap with blue Pokeball symbol and ten slot pokebelt which can hold up to ten Pokeball

Also professor oak raised his Pokémon carry limit to 10 as a surprise for clearing the exam.

Ash daily follow a routine as he woke up before dawn, does physical exercise for 2 hours then he freshens up and eat breakfast after which he goes to Oak's lab and play with his Pokémon friends and study under him on each and every topic ranging from Pokémon abilities to their grooming.

Flashback...

7-year-old Ash is training with riolu, ralts, beldum,bagon,froakie.

" OK riolu use bullet punch on beldum and beldum just try to dodge it using hover up and down as fast as you can and just tell me if you get tired ." said ash

" Ralts just try to teleport to avoid the incoming attack of bagon's rage." said ash to ralts

"And ,froakie practice water gun on me and I will try to dodge okay." said ash

Ash being a moving target help golett a lot as it increases its speed.

Not much later ash and froakie reached the edge of the ranch that joins the pallet woods.

"Pichu pi ." said a voice.

"Hey, froakie you heard that," asked ash to which he nodded.

"froakie," said froakie pointing to spearows hovering in air

Meanwhile, Pokémon opened his eyes and see the boy fighting with the then used his hands to send the mud at spearows that make their wings heavy. ,froakie then used rollout to hit them.

Spearows then came back with steelwing.

",froakie use defense curl, and then use watergun in one place," said ash after which ,froakie start to send water in the air blocking their view.

All spearows them used gust attack that sends ,froakie backward. All of sudden ,froakie then used cut that sends spearows away making the retreat

"That was awesome move golett and your water gun was perfect." ash praised its ground and ghost type.

"Let's see what move was it," said ash he took Pokedex out which states, ,froakie recently learned cut was happy that he learned cut.

First, let's take this little guy to professor oak's lab.

After ten minutes ash takes the Pokémon to the professor while his Pokémon asked him as he told them that he was attacked by three spearows.

"Hey professor, please help this little one," said ash

"Wait for me ash, " said professor as he came out and when he saw a small Pichu in Ash's hand

"Professor this little guy was attacked by spearows, they hurt him but with the help of ,froakie we defeated them, and ,froakie learned the cut in the process," said ash

"That's good ash now place him on table," said professor

And from that day Pichu stayed with ash.

Flashback end...

When ash was 8 professor took a test of him which consisted of question covered different topics. And ash scored fairly well which amazes professor, not even his grandson scored this well.

As promised as a surprise professor allow ash to have its carry limit increased to 12 when he begins his journey and give him the complete set of tm and hm so that he could teach his Pokémon wide variety of good moves.

While training past few year few of Ash's friend evolved and ash teach them all possible movesets they could learn which gives them an edge in battle.

Riolu is now a Lucario, little ralts is now gardevoir,beldum is now matang and finally, Bagon is now shellgon and froakie is now greninja. Shellgon and matang are close to evolving to their next form.

Ash, on the other hand, tried in aura but his body is still not that strong to use aura. But he formed aura bond with his Pokemon so that he could understand and communicate with his Pokemon from long distance and learned to use some aura spheres and he also learned to use psychic powers and is now on Sabrina's level.

When ash was not training with them they were sleeping inside their Pokeball which remain at Oak's lab.

"Good morning mom" ash greeted his mother.

"Morning ash"Delia greeted back.

"You sleep well," asked Delia. "You bet I am"ash replied back with enthusiasm. "and you Pikachu,"Delia asked Pikachu.

"I know how you are when it came to Pokémon, food, and sleep," Delia said. "But ash don't you have to be at professor oak's place right now for your starter Pokémon," Delia asked.

"Mum you know that I already have Pikachu and 5 best Pokémon friends at professor's lab"ash replied.

"Oh yeah, it kinda slipped out of my mind"Delia replied.

Ash and Pikachu quickly finished their breakfast and sprinted towards the lab but before that ash asked Pikachu to get in the bag so no one could see him. Ash told him that there is a bottle of ketchup inside.

-11:00 am-

Ash is now the reached the front of the door where he saw large crowd is gathered circling none other than Gary oak along with his cheerleader squad who was showing off his starter.

As ash about to enter he was stopped by Gary who started mocking ash." where are you going Ashy-boy ?" Gary asked ash

"Going to get my starter" replied back ash

"I doubt it, Ash, that there are any decent Pokémon left for far as I knew all starters were taken by me and other two trainers. Maybe you will get some pathetic Pokémon like Magikarp" said Gary.

"OK so why don't you wait here till I get my starter and then we could battle to test who is strong"ash replied.

"Hah ..! I don't wanna waste my precious time, smell ya later Ashy-boy" said Gary as he moved in his car towards route 1.

And ash then moved to the lab ...

"Hello professor, are you here ?" Ash said loud.

"Yes Ash, I am here come inside"oak replied

"Professor I am here to get my license and new Pokedex," said ash

"I know you are." Professor Oak replied. "And I take it you intend to take them all with you?"

"There's no doubt about it," Ash replied with a smile

"Good." Professor Oak replied. He handed Ash a small black device that was slightly sleeker than a normal Pokedex

"Here's your National Pokedex Ash. I am very happy that you asked for it. With your diverse regional team the information that this will give you will be essential." said professor

"I know Professor." Ash nodded "I want to be able to train my Pokémon to the best of their ability so that their deepest potential can be unlocked. So, together, we can be the best we can."

"I'm glad to hear that Ash." Oak smiled at his young protege "To be honest, Gary's knowledge is very limited compared to yours, well even compared to other trainers your age. "Now, why don't you check your Pokémon's stats?"oak replied handing him Pokeball.

Ash then throw five pokeballs and opened his bag from which emerges five Pokémon and Pikachu. Pikachu then greeted professor and all of his friends, brothers, and sister. One is blue jackal known as Lucario, one is a feminine figure known as gardevoir. Another one is a ninja Pokémon greninja.A Pokémon covered in a white shell with yellow eyes known as shellgon and finally an iron claw Pokémon called metang.

When they appeared, they all hugged him to death. Ash then said, "OK guys give me some air" as all Pokemon get off him.

Ash then stood gained his composure. OK guys you know today is the day when we finally begin our journey and before departure, I want to scan you to know our progress, then ash pointed the Pokedex at each and every Pokémon.

Once the Pokedex deactivated ash look at his Pokemon and said

"You know everyone I am very happy the way we made progress in past six years, today we show the world what we are made off.

("Yeah we are ash" ) all of his Pokémon said in unison.

Ok, everyone return. With that ash returned his Pokémon and Pikachu hopped on ash head.

"So ash who do you want to register as your starter?" the professor asked ash.

"Frankly speaking professor I want them all of my starters but it is difficult for me to select one of them because they are all unique in their own way". ash replied

After thinking a lot professor spoke" would you like if I select Pikachu as your starter because he will gain less attraction while others may get unwanted attention"

Ash then nodded to professor which professor asked Ash's Pokedex to update it.

After few minutes professor return and said all set ash professor then return ash his Pokedex and give some pokeballs.

"I will call you once we reach Veridian city". Ash said."Pikachu says Goodbye to the professor, "ash asked his electric type.

When ash exited the lab he found his mother she asked: "have you got your license" to which Ash nodded in response.

Ash, I want to just say that" good luck and stay safe. And don't get into any reckless things".

"Don't worry mom when Pikachu and others are with me. There's no way I could get hurt" ash replied.

"And Pikachu make sure ash found a girl for himself, " Delia said to Pikachu with smile to which Pikachu replied with a devious smile

"Pika...pi!pikachu pi!" and Ash facepalmed at Pikachu's antics

{ ' Why mom says such things to Pikachu '} ash though.

"OK mom I will call you as soon as we get to Veridian city," ash said and he and Pikachu headed towards route 1.
