A New Life

Chapter 7 - Starting a New Life (Johto.)

Ash and his family had relaxed for one month now after Ash defeated Red in Kanto, they had decided to stay in contact with one another as they had a lot in common. Ash did not want Red to know who he really was just yet, but he thought that in the future he would be able to share it with the ex champion.

"You did it love, you are now the Kanto champion!" Latias squealed. Ash however felt bad, it had been a year since he had proposed to the dragon pokemon and they had done nothing for it. Ash had been so focused that he hasn't made love with his girlfriend and they haven't even talked about their wedding yet.

"Latias, I'm sorry that we haven't talked about the wedding." Ash said.

"Oh don't worry about it Ash I know this is important to you." Latias explained, she didn't mind as much that they had not talked about this but there was a part of her that wanted to be married to Ash sooner rather than later.

Latias must have forgotten to close her mind as Ash heard everything she was thinking, she didn't mind that they had not talked about it, but she did want to be married soon. He understood that feeling, wherever they went the males all stared at Latias like they wanted to jump her, he wanted to marry her so she was his and only his.

"I promise, during the first couple of months we will talk about this wedding okay? At least then we would have an idea." Ash said to his finance, who smiled and nodded her head happily.

A few days later and they were on the boat to Johto, and Ash couldn't be happier that he was leaving Kanto. "I'm glad we are out of that region, seeing those two brought back bad memories. So are we going to stick to our routine then, in the first few months we spend looking around the area getting to know it, around the 3rd - 4th month we will start catching pokemon and then in the 5th month we will train them and then head of to the first gym in the 6th month?" Ash asked his family. He always asked them what they wanted to do before they got to their destination, he wanted to make sure that everyone was happy and that everyone was comfortable with what they were going to do.

Everyone nodded their heads at him and he nodded back. They were on the boat only a few hours this time as Johto was close to Kanto, and when they got of the ship they immediately went of on their journey.

Like the previous 2 years they spent the first month travelling around, going to every area that they could in the Johto region, Johto was one of the bigger areas with small islands surrounding it, they also explored all of these too.

The next 2 months were spent by Ash telling them all about the area, this was one place that none of them had ever been to before so they relied on Ash to tell them what was good and what was bad. Ash also went through the Nanodex after asking to see a list of all of the pokemon available in the Johto region, that was another good thing about the Nanodex. If you ask it about pokemon in a certain region then it will bring up a list of all of the known ones, which made it easier to look for the pokemon that interest you. It took them a few days to listen to Ash explain and show them all of the pokemon but at the end they all had pokemon that they wanted to catch.

By the 4th month everyone had new pokemon and were asking Ash on how best to train them, for the rest of the 4th month and all of the 5th month they stayed in one area and trained their new pokemon as well as their old pokemon. By now some of the older pokemon had begun to evolve, and on top of that some of them were even able to mega evolve now that they looked in each region for the mega stones.

It was now the 6th month and they headed of in search of the first gym. "The first gym we will be going to is Violet gym, lead by Falkner." Max said as he looked at his navigator.

Ash nodded and they headed over the to the gym, Ash also knew this gym and that it was a flying type gym.

"Yes may I help you?" The gym leader asked them, and Ash challenged him to a battle. By the look on the mans face he had not had a battle for a little while and was clearly looking forward to this one.
