In the Kanto region, pallet town.
It was 10 o'clock in the morning, and the people in Pallet Town were awake doing their jobs and ready to start their day.
On this day, there were people preparing to start their adventure as Pokemon trainers and traveling with their partners to achieve their dreams.
And our story begin this town…
In a specific house of a specific room.
Ash Ketchum awoke slowly, at first his eyes showed a trace of sleepiness but gradually became active and alert.
Ash knew something was wrong right away, despite his naivety some times but he didn't become world champion for nothing.
The first thing he noticed was that he didn't have Pikachu with him...
Usually he will think that Pikachu has gone to stay with his mom since he does that sometimes.
But Ash notices something different in his room.
All his rewards and badges that he earned after 5 years of hard work have suddenly disappeared, and the strangest thing is that the different Pokemon stickers that he had collected since the age of six are not there…
And the last thing Ash noticed was the difference in his body, he immediately got up and looked at the mirror in his room and was surprised that he had become younger, the last time Ash checked his age and he was sure that he had reached 15 years old.
But Ash is definitely looking at his ten-year-old self...
In the end, he came to a conclusion quickly, he traveled back in time...
If it was another person, he would not accept what is happening to him, and would try to deny this though, but ash is different…
After all, Ash has traveled back in time several times, which is not strange to him...
But he frowned thinking about his time travel this time...
Normally when he was traveling in time Ash always had a specific mission...
But this time it was different, he traveled to the past just like this? Thinking about his past experiences, it could be said that this is impossible…
There was definitely a reason and the Pokemon that will give him the answer are Dialga, Celebi and… Arcues.
Ash sighed tiredly. Looks like he's going to start a big adventure again… but he smiled though. If there's one thing Ash loves after Pokemon, it's an adventure.
Ash's thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock and he looked at his room door strangely...
"Who?" Ash asked strangely.
"…it's me." It was his mother's hesitant voice.
This made Ash confused by his mother's knocking on the door, after all, his mother had never knocked on the door.
"Come in, mom.." Although Ash thought it was strange, he didn't pay any attention to it.
The door opened and Delia walked in with a hesitant look and looked at ash with mixed feelings which made Ash suspicious for a moment.
"…Ash aren't you going to claim your pokemon to begin your journey?" Delia said in a questioning but strangely somber tone.
Although Ash was wondering about his mother's strange expression and behavior , he forgot all of this upon hearing what she said and froze for a moment and widened his eyes.
"…Ah! I have to hurry up, or I won't have any starting Pokemon left!"
Before Delia react to what had happened, she found that her son had already rushed out of his room quickly.
She looked at the rushing Ash in astonishment, but Ash didn't notice her surprised expression.
"Mom! I'm going to Professor Oak!" Ash said and ran out of the house.
Delia looked at her son, who left in suprise, and muttered softly:
"I thought he didn't want to be a Pokémon trainer ."
—
Ash was in a hurry and was running through Pallet Town.
But despite his haste, he noticed some surprised looks coming from the people of his town.
Ash couldn't think much about it because Pikachu was waiting for him and he couldn't make him wait any longer.
After running for two minutes, Ash finally reached his destination, which is Professor Oak's institute.
Ash notices Gary's absence, which causes him to add him to a list of things different from the original timeline.
Ash quickly headed inside the Pokemon Institute and noticed something else different...
And that was the increase in the number of people inside Professor Oak's institute, this was strange when you consider that Dr. Oak like to work alone without being disturbed.
"Satoshi?" A voice pulled Ash out of his thoughts.
He looked back to notice that Dr. Oak was behind him before he noticed and looked at him in confusion and surprise.
"Dr. Oak, sorry I'm late. I fell asleep and before I knew I was late."
Ash scratched his head in embarrassment, but didn't notice that Dr. Oak was looking at him with an expression of surprise, shock, and a little nostalgia.
"Dr. Oak ?" Ash was surprised by the professor's sudden silence, then his expression changed and he looked at Dr. Oak in horror and said: "Don't tell me that there are no starting Pokemon left for me?!"
Dr. Oak snapped out of his surprise and looked at Ash's horrified expression and laughed lightly, "Don't worry Satoshi, it's your luck that there's only one Pokemon left."
Ash sighed with relief. He didn't know what to do without Pikachu.
"Follow me"
Following Dr. Oak to the storage machine the kept the pokeball.
Dr. Oak pressed a certain button and a Pokeball came out with a distinctive lightning mark on it, showing that it was Pikachu's Pokeball.
Dr. Oak looked at the pokeball in his hand, then looked at Ash and said seriously, "Normally I wouldn't give this Pokemon to a new trainer, after all, this Pokemon hates humans for some reason."
but Dr. Ok smiled as he looked at Ash kindly :"But I feel you will be able to overcome this and become great partners."
Ash looked at Dr. Oak in surprise and scratched his face in embarrassment, but he nodded resolutely.
Dr. Oak looked at Ash's firm look with approval and then released the Pokémon to reveal its shape.
Pokemon with mouse-like shape, yellow fur with brown stripes on its back, yellow tail with a brown side at the end of the tail in the shape of thunder, which shows that this is a male Pikachu.
Two red cheeks, and some sparks of lightning emanate from them, which shows its danger.
This was Ash's first companion in his life, his destined partner and future strongest Pokemon named Pikachu.
"Pika..?"
