Pokemon: Back to Basics

Note: This will be in TV format. Also, Gen 6

Spoilers!

Note 2: People have been asking how they got from

Pewter City to Cerulean City, and I only have this to

say: Anime Physics. :P

Note 3: Brock as a doctor graduate will be able to

communicate with Pokemon. This isn't real canon,

just headcanon.

~~~GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!~~~

The words "Going Back To Basics!" appeared on a

title card, which Ash read.

~~~GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!~~~

A boy of about fifteen years old was in his room

with his starter Pokemon, Pikachu. He hadn't been

out for days. Ever since he lost the Unova League

to Virgil, he had been really depressed. How could

he have lost? In every league, he had some so

close, but someone took victory from his grasp. In

Kanto, it was Richie (he could have won it all, if only

Charizard didn't fall asleep!). In Johto, it was

Harrison (at least it wasn't Gary, the jerk he was

back then!), in Hoenn, it was Tyson (he hated

Meowth even more now!), in Sinnoh, Tobias (the

cheater! Why was he allowed to have legendaries?),

and now in Unova, the region he just came from, it

was Virgil, a huge fan of Eevee and its evolutions.

He didn't understand how he went from taking on

two legendaries to losing to a team of Eevee

evolutions.

One thing was certain: He and Pikachu had grown

to really hate the Eevee line, even moreso than

Meowth back when Tyson beat him. It was bad

enough when Gary's Eevee beat him, but this was

terrible.

He replayed the events of his league matches in his

mind, but he just didn't see what he could have

done better.

"Ash, are you still moping?" a voice called out. That

could only be his mom. His thoughts were proven

true when she opened the door, though she wasn't

alone. Next to her were Tracey and Professor Oak.

"Tracey! Professor Oak! Mom!" he said, forcing a

smile.

"Ash, you have to go out now," said Professor Oak

sternly. "There's no use dwelling on the past."

"The Indigo League is reopening soon. Why don't

you sign up?" Tracey asked.

Ash perked up for a moment. This was his chance
