i ran up to my house with pikachu running next to me, as we ran i saw ho-oh go overhead, i couldn't help but smile as i saw it leave a rainbow behind it, i loved that sight it always reminds me of my first day as a trainer with pikachu. i looked at my electric companion and said "race you home pikachu" as soon as i said it i started running as fast as i can down the road to pallet town. "pika" he said suprised and realised i had got the head start. i slowed down a little until i stopped on top of the hill overlooking the town. i breathed in a big breath and let it out. "ah it's good to be home" i looked behind me to see were pikachu was, he was still quite a way aways, i decided to start running again, but not sprinting i wanna beat pikachu for once, and started going down the hill, as i got closer i could hear a pokemon using a move i couldn't hear what but i was sure i was about to find out. "pika pika pika pika" pikachu exclaimed running past me with quick attack. as soon as i saw him i started sprinting to my house. as we got close to the house we were neck and neck until pikachu released a small burst of energy and beat me. "dammit pikachu... one of these days i will beat you in a race" i panted pikachu just snickered at my frustration "oh well, i guess today isn't that day, come on pikachu lets go tell mom we're back." as i walked up to the door i could hear multiple voices and all of them sounded familiar. 'what is going on' i though to myself. what will they do? will any of them stand up for ash? what will happen to him after? read on to find out.All Rights Reserved
