He's Back! So yeah, I had to change my first chapter because I forgot that Ash was 10 years old at the start of the anime. I mean, LOL, how did I forgot such an integral part of the anime? The immortal 10 year old, doctors hate him and all that jazz. Anyway, You've probably saw that I replaced "Predicting the Weather" with a different story, this time for DxD. Anyway, let's go to what most of you came for. Enjoy!

I don't own Pokemon or its characters, or I would be a rich, rich man.

Rai and Hikaru can be seen peacefully walking through Route 1. It was quite peaceful, the sun lazily hung from the sky and there was a young girl trying to drag a Pikachu along on a leash. The two goggled at the sight, that Pikachu must really hate its trainer. In addition, that is not the correct way of treating a Pikachu, a pokemon notable for its want for freedom. It is not exactly a good and placid starter for a new trainer.

"Hey!" Rai called, "Do you need help?" He observed the 10 year old who suddenly looked at him gratefully. She had raven-black hair with a red and blue cap on top. She wore a light blue jacket and had zigzags on her cheeks. She was pouting from the Pikachu's non-reaction.

"Yeah," She responded, "My Pikachu doesn't want to be friends with me and I want to go on a journey! Why can't he be like your Eevee?" She crossed her arm and was then shocked by the Pikachu's strong Thunderbolt. Rai used his body to shield Hikaru and channeled some of his electrical powers in order to deflect the charge. The girl screamed in pain as Rai motioned to grab her as well. He dragged her off the Pikachu as it continued to rage.

"What's your deal?!" Rai yelled at the Pikachu, utilizing his Auric Voice. He held the girl behind him.

"That old man caught me without my permission!" Pikachu yelled, still launching thunderbolts after thunderbolts.

"But why take it out on the girl?" Rai asked, to which the yellow rodent shrugged.

"She's friends with him." Pikachu answered.

"I'm going to assume that the old man is Professor Oak? Well, I'll go talk to him!" Rai said to both the Pikachu and the girl, "By the way, what's your name raven-hair?"

The girl looked shocked at the fact that he can talk to Pokemon, that's something that only Aura Guardians can do after all. She then realized that while she stood there gobsmack, Rai and Hikaru were looking at her expectantly. "How did you do that? I thought only Aura Guardians can do that? Anyway, my name is Ashlyn Ketchum and my dream is to become the next Pokemon Master!" She struck a pose, to which Pikachu once again shocked her.

Rai chuckled a little at the ridiculous pose and then answered, "Yes. I do know how to use Aura, because I'm cool like that. Anyway, I have to go see Professor Oak to register for a Pokedex. So, have fun! Oh, and stop bullying her, Pikachu." Ashlyn waved as he walked away while Pikachu turned his head to the side and chu'd in thought. Rai laughed once again and waved goodbye. Ashlyn enthusiastically responded and asked if she can be taught how to use Aura. Rai agreed to it if they meet again.

We see our hero finally reach Pallet Town, a pastoral and sunny town. Rai is once again walking with Hikaru lagging not that far behind him. He questioned some of the townspeople and was led by a kindly brown-haired woman to Professor Oak's Ranch on the top of a hill. As he opened the door to the lab, Hikaru quickly jumped onto his shoulders.

"Why now?" Rai winced as his body suddenly had to compensate for the weight of the creature on one side of his body.

"Because," Hikaru sighed, "My pretty little toes got tired of walking." Rai face-palmed as they walked up to the professor who appeared to be typing furiously down on his PC.

"Hey, Professor." Rai exclaimed, shocking the old man as she flung out of his chair and looked wildly around the room. He finally calmed down when he saw only a 10 year old boy with an Eevee on his shoulder. Eevee are trustworthy pokemon they'll only ride someone that they would implicitly trust, after all, so this boy is probably safe to talk to without needing any security.

"So. How may I help you, my boy?"

"Ah." Rai murmured. "I was looking to see if I can apply for a Pokedex." He shuffled his feet around. I am technically licensed, but I never was able to receive a Pokedex. Professor Oak frowned at that statement, "Well that wouldn't do." He responded, "All good Pokemon trainers should have one. You did pass the exam?" He sharply looked at the boy.

Rai searched through his duffel bag to find a piece of paper that was stamped with an A, to which he handed it to the Professor. Oak looked at it for a few moments and clapped his hands. "Okay, you are one lucky fellow! I had a spare Pokedex that you can just use. Now why don't you use the Dex to scan your Eevee?"

At that prompt, Rai flipped open the red cover and aimed the camera at Eevee.

Ding!

Eevee. The Evolution Pokemon. It has the Brave Nature. Its genetic code is irregular. It may mutate if it is exposed to radiation from element Stones. It currently knows: Covet, Tackle, Growl, Quick Attack, Dig, Iron Tail.

"Huh." Rai mused, "You are quite strong, Hikaru." He ruffled the Eevee's head.

"Hey, stop that." Hikaru cried as it batted his hands as Rai rubbed the Eevee's ears. Rai decided to stop and thanked the Professor for giving him the Pokedex.

"Thanks for giving me this Pokedex. I'll make sure to take care of it and send you information!" Rai thanked the good Professor before leaving once again for the wide world of Pokemon.

Maybe soon I can finally actually reach the Pokemon Episodes.. Just maybe. Anyway, have a nice day.

Tata!
