"Ash wake! Today’s your birthday and your
friends have arrived." Ash’s mother was trying to wake her son up.
"Pikachu. Can you wake up Ash." Pikachu nodded and jumped on to bed.
"Pikkkkaaaaaaaaaaaachuuuuuuuuu." Pikachu
shocked Ash into waking up.
"Uh...What is it? Good morning Mom. Morning
Pikachu....what time is it?"
"It’s Ten o’clock." Ash jumped
out of bed sending Pikachu flying.
"Ten. I got to get to Prof. Oak in a half hour.
I got to get ready." Ash rushed into the bathroom. Ash mother shakes her head.
It was five after eleven when Ash and Pikachu
arrived. When they got there, they found Prof. Oak waiting for them at the door. "Oh,
hi Ash. I see that you’re late as usual. I guess your going to be late for own
wedding if you keep this up."
"Sorry I’m late. Have the others waited
long."
"No. There out in back. Let’s go see
them." Ash, Pikachu, and Prof. Oak go in a room where Misty, Brock, and Gary Oak
where waiting. Ever since Ash beat Gary for the title of pokemon master, he humbled and
quit pokemon training for acting. However Gary still acted like a jerk.
"Hey Ash. We thought you would never arrive. For
the greatest pokemon master you have very poor timing." Gary said.
"Hey quit Gary. Or do you want to challenge my
timing in a pokemon battle." Ash replied. Gary mummers something and shut up down.
"Say Ash happy birthday." Brock says.
"Yah, happy birthday."
"Thanks guys."
"Say you look a bit depressed. What’s
bothering you." Brock asked.
"It’s just that I’m getting bored,
that’s all. I mean all that I do now is just defend my title. I can’t even go
looking for new pokemon with the media following me."
"That’s right me and Ash can’t go
anywhere with out a photographer following us." Misty said.
"It’s just that I miss the adventures that
we used to go on. Our journey was sure fun. Would you believe that I actually miss team
rocket trying to steal Pikachu."
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"No I don’t you kidnapped."
"You must really be bored then." Brock
nodded knowingly.
"I just wish I could go another journey to be a
pokemon master." Ash sighed.
"Well then Ash, I might have your answer."
Prof. Oak said.
"What is Prof. Oak." Ash asked with hopes
rising.
"Well I found out that there is a new pokemon
league."
"A new league? Where is it?" Ash was
getting excited.
"The league is in the US. Over the past few
years pokemon has started to appear in the US, as well as some new species. Also since
there enough trainers there, they started a pokemon league."
"A new league. A new challenge. That sounds just
like what I need." Ash stands up and starts pacing. "I’m going to the US
and become there new champion."
"Ash." Misty interrupted his dramatic
speech. "Are you nuts. Not only are still champion here, but you can’t afford
the trip there." Ash’s hopes where just then shot down.
"Your right. I haven’t thought about
that." Suddenly the door bell rings.
