Journeys Of A Pokémon Trainer

Episode 100: The Origin of the Pallet Town Kids! How They Came To Met!

*16 years ago*

In a hospital, a baby could be heard crying. This baby belong to Nicole Shiro. Standing beside her was her loving husband and best friend, Diablo Shiro and Rosie Moeru. In Rosie's hands was her one month old child, Toru.

"He's so cute Nicole!" Rosie said. Nicole smiled and looked at her son. "He is. He looks just like you Diabla," Nicole said. Diabla looked at Ashton and smiled. "I can definitely see the similarities," Diabla said. Suddenly, his phone began to rang. "Excuse me while I take this," Diabla said as he stepped out of the room. "So, have you decided a name for him?" Rosie asked. "Yep! It's a name I've had in mind for a long time," Nicole said as she rubbed her son's head. "Ashton."

A couple days later, Nicole was carrying her son out of the hospital and to her house. "I cant believe you're coming home already. You must be so excited!" Nicole said happily. Ashton cooed cutely at this. "(You're too precious for this world.)" Nicole thought with a look of adoration on her face.

As the years began to pass, Ashton got older and older. He learned to walk, talk, and do things by himself. "Hey Mom, when's dad coming home?" A six year old Ash asked Nicole. "Oh, he's still on his business trip, so he won't be back for a while," Nicole said. Suddenly, a knock on the front door was heard. "I'll get it!" Ashton exclaimed. He ran to the front door and grabbed his stool beside the door.

He stood on it and opened the door. It was Rosie and Toru. "Oh hi Ashton! I brought my son with me so you two can play!" Rosie said. "Hi Ash!" Toru exclaimed. "Hey Toru!" Ashton said happily. "You boys can go play outside, just don't go too far!" Nicole said. "Yes ma'am!" Both said before they turned and ran out the door.

"Hey Ash, I met this kid! He's really cool! He's a year older than us!" Toru said. "Really? Can I meet him?" Ashton asked. "Of course! Let's go!" Toru said as they ran down the street. They got to a playground and saw a boy climbing a tree. "Hey Justin! It's me, Toru!" Toru called out, getting his attention. "Oh, hey Toru! Who's this?" The boy asked as he jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the two younger boys.

"My name's Ashton! What about you?" Ashton asked. "My name's Justin! So, do you know how to climb a tree?" Justin asked. "Um, I think so. I've never tried," Ashton said. "Then, give it a try," Justin said. "Yeah! Give it a try! You might be good at it," Toru said. Ashton walked up to the tree and started climbing it. He got pretty high, but lost his balance and fell off, landing on his back. "Ow," Ashton groaned as Justin and Toru helped him to his feet.

"You did pretty well for never climbing a tree," Justin said. The boys began to become great friends with Justin and would hang out with him everyday. Justin's mom also got to know Nicole and Rosie and became great friends.

A year later, Ashton was running an errand for his four year old brother and sister. Along the way, he passed a hill and saw a lab he had never seen before. "Was that always there?" Ashton asked. He decided to check it out. He walked up the hill and got to the front door. He knocked on the door gently. "Hold on a minute, I'm coming!" A voice said.

A couple seconds later, the door opened and a man came out. "Oh, who might you be?" The man asked. "I'm Ashton! Say, was this place always here?" Ashton asked. "Ashton? Wait, are you Nicole's Son?" The man asked. "Yeah. Do you know my mom?" Ashton asked. "Yeah! She was my rival back when we were Pokemon trainers!" The man exclaimed. "Pokemon trainers? What's that?" Ashton asked. "You don't know? Ok, come in Ashton. By the way, I'm Stewart, the new Professor of Pallet Town," Professor Stewart said.

He and Ashton walked into the lab and to the back. He grabbed a PokeBall and started tossing it into the air and catching it. "This is a PokeBall. Inside a creature known as a Pokemon. Pokemon are interesting creatures that possess great powers. Inside this one is one of the three Pokemon I give to trainers who are old enough to become trainers," Professor Stewart said as he called the Pokemon out of it's PokeBall. A Squirtle came out. "Woah! It looks so cool!" Ashton exclaimed. Ashton stuck his hand forward and rubbed Squirtle's head, making it happily cry.
