Chapter One
It was May 22nd, 1996, a special day for a young boy living in Pallet Town named Ash Ketchum; it was his 10th birthday! Not only that but his mother, Delia, had an unexpected surprise for him.
"Here's your present Ash!" she said after they finished eating the cake.
"What is it mom?" the boy asked, as he took the wrapped box.
"It's a surprise," said his mother.
Opening the box, the boy was pleasantly surprised to see what it contained.
"A Poké Ball!" he exclaimed, amazed. "What kind of Pokémon is it?" he asked, excited.
"You will find out soon"
The boy took the Poké Ball and touched the button, which caused the ball to open and release a quadrupled brown fox Pokémon.
"Eevee!" it exclaimed.
"Wow! An Eevee!" said the boy, showing the biggest grin he had ever given. He immediately scratched the cute little fox on her forehead, obtaining a happy purr in return. "Thank you, mom!"
"You're welcome, honey!" said the woman, smiling at the sight of her son and his new Pokémon bonding so quickly.
It was March 31st, 1997, and Ash was watching the final match of Pokémon League Conference at Indigo Plateau.
"Gengar, use Hypnosis ", commanded a Trainer to his Ghost-type
The attack hit, causing the opponent's Pokémon to fell asleep.
"Nidorino, returned", said its Trainer, returning his sleeping Poison-type, before adding "Onix, go!" A giant rock snake materialized from its Poké Ball.
"Ash!", called his mother, seeing her son still awake.
"Yes, mom?" responded the boy.
"You should be asleep. If you're late to the lab, you may miss your chance to pick Charmander"
"I want to know who will win this match", the boy protested.
"You will learn about it tomorrow at the news. Now, honey, go to sleep before its too late."
"OK, mom!" said the boy before turning off the TV.
Ash's Voltorb alarm clock rang many times that morning, but not only he wouldn't wake up, he even ended up smashing it against the wall during his sleep. His mother had to wake him up by herself.
"Ash Ketchum! Wake up, honey!"
"Can I sleep more mom?"
"It's 7:30. Professor Oak will give out the starters in 30 minutes"
Seeing her son still snoring, the woman brought her Arcanine pet, Arca, and told her to lick her son.
"I am awake", said a laughing Ash, and scratched the forehead of the dog.
"Now, dress up quickly and go eat your breakfast," ordered the mother to her son.
After having some quick breakfast with Eevee, the raven-haired boy put the brown mammal on his shoulder and went running to Professor Oak's lab. Arriving near the building, he saw his former-childhood-friend-now-turned-rival, Gary Oak.
"I see you're late as always, Ash-boy", said the mahogany-haired boy, him too having an Eevee on his shoulder. "You should give up because you're never going to make it to the Indigo League", he added, with a grin.
"Don't listen to him, Ash. Plus, it's still 7:55 AM", said Leaf, a friendly rival of the raven-haired boy. She had a Cleffa on her shoulder.
When the time came, the Professor opened the door of his laboratory and let the three children in.
"Hello Gary, Ash, and Leaf," said the old man, before pointing to a table with three Poké Balls on it. Each ball has a symbol; the one containing Bulbasaur was marked with a leaf, the one containing Charmander was marked with a flame, and the one containing Squirtle was marked with a drop of water.
"While I know that each of you already has a Pokémon, it wouldn't hurt to give you each a regional starter. Since these Pokémon are hard to find in the wild, you must choose wisely which Pokémon you will pick", finished the Pokémon professor.
"That's easy gramps! I will go with Squirtle", said Gary.
"I like Charmander", said Ash.
"I always wanted Bulbasaur, plus, it fits with my name", said Leaf.
"Now that each of you made their choice, pick the Poké Ball of the Pokémon you want, and take one of these", said Gary's grandfather while pointing to three devices on the table.
"What are these?" asked Ash.
"This is called a Pokédex. It's an electronic Pokémon encyclopedia. If you point it at a Pokémon, it will give you information about that Pokémon's species. It also collects data about Pokémon you catch", said the old man. He also gave 4 Poké Balls to the three children. "Now, go on your journeys, try to catch as much Pokémon as you can, and try also to make Pallet Town proud at the League," finished the Pokémon professor.
"Don't worry gramps! I will catch all the Pokémon that are in Kanto", said a smirking Gary, before adding "you two better give up, I will become the best Pokémon Master in the world. Smell ya later gramps!"
"He doesn't change, does he?" asked Leaf, after the cocky boy left the lab.
"I hope this journey makes him more mature. It's not with this attitude that I became Champion", said Prof Oak.
"Ash, would you mind if we travel together to Pewter City?" asked Leaf.
"Of course not!"
"Thanks! You know, I am afraid of forests even since that incident…"
As Ash exited the building, he was met by his mother and a cheering crowd with "Go Ash Go" signs. Gary was arrogantly proclaiming that he will become the best Pokémon Master in the world, before leaving with his annoying cheerleaders who kept chanting "Gary, Gary is our man. If he can't do it, no one can"
"Oh Ash, I am so proud of you", she said while hugging him tightly, before adding "I am going to miss you so much. Stay safe and don't forget to change your underwear."
"Mom! You're embarrassing me!" exclaimed the boy.
"I see you got yourself another cute Pokémon. Hello Charmander!"
"Charmander", exclaimed the lizard, happy.
"Just watch me catch all the Pokémon in Kanto, right Charmander and Eevee?" said the boy. Eevee made a thrilling sound while Charmander cried his name.
"I am so proud of my boy. Before you leave, I have something for you. It's your own Pokégear, don't forget to call me", said Delia Ketchum.
"Thanks, mom! I promise that I won't forget to call you", said the boy while taking the device and hugging his mother tightly.
Like the overexcited kid he was, Ash started running towards the hill separating Pallet Town from Route 1. His Eevee tried to attract his attention to something, pointing a paw towards the city they just left, but to no avail. After she finished talking to her dad, Leaf looked around and facepalmed at seeing Ash on the hill without her. She started running after him. But as Ash reached the summit, he noticed something in the sky. Wondering what it was, he pointed his Pokédex at it.
Ho-Oh
Type: Fire
Category: Rainbow Pokémon
Description: It will reveal itself before a pure-hearted trainer by shining its bright rainbow-coloured wings.
"A pure-hearted Trainer?" exclaimed the boy. "Does it think I have a pure heart?" he wondered. He then heard footsteps and a familiar voice calling him.
"Ash!!!" shouted someone behind him.
"Leaf?"
"Ash, did you forget that we are supposed to travel together to Pewter City," she said, in a reproach.
"Oops! Sorry! I forgot"
"It's no big deal," she said, before adding "By the way, I think I saw a Pokémon flying, but it's something I have never seen before. Maybe it was my imagination," she finished, wondering.
"I too saw it, it's a Pokémon called Ho-Oh"
"Ho-Oh?"
"Yes. The Pokédex said it appears to a pure-hearted Trainer."
"Knowing you, that wouldn't surprise me," said the girl, before adding "it's good that it decided to show itself at that moment, else it would have been harder to catch up to you"
"Sorry!"
"No need to apologize again. I already am used to you. Also, how about we check what the Pokédex has to say about our Pokémon before we start catching others?"
"Great idea", said Ash, before he took a look at his Pokédex.
He started with his Starter.
Eevee
Gender: F
Ability: Anticipation
Type: Normal
Category: Evolution Pokémon
Moves: Growl, Tackle, Tail Whip, and Sand Attack.
Description: Possessing an unbalanced and unstable genetic makeup, it conceals many possible evolutions. Its genes are easily influenced by its surroundings. Even its face starts to look like that of its Trainer.
He then looked at what the little electronic encyclopedia had to say about his Regional Starter.
Charmander
Gender: M
Ability: Blaze
Type: Fire
Category: Lizard Pokémon
Moves: Scratch and Growl
Description: From the time it is born, a flame burns at the tip of its tail. Its life would end if the flame were to go out.
His friend did the same, starting with Cleffa then with Bulbasaur.
Cleffa
Gender: F
Ability: Magic Guard
Type: Fairy
Category: Star Shape Pokémon
Moves: Pound, Charm, and Encore
Description: Because of its unusual, star-like silhouette, people believe that it came here on a meteor. On nights with many shooting stars, they gather in packs and dance in circles. If you should see them, something good will happen!
Bulbasaur
Gender: F
Ability: Chlorophyll
Type: Grass/Poison
Category: Seed Pokémon
Moves: Tackle and Growl
Description: It can go for days without eating a single morsel. In the bulb on its back, it stores energy.
As the two Pallet Town natives entered the large route surrounded by oak trees on its both sides, they were met by a small electric shock. Ash looked at the culprit, who was smiling mischievously. He had no time to reach for his Pokédex as the mouse was charging another attack, so he sent out Eevee against it.
"Eevee, use Tackle", shouted the Trainer.
The fox-like Pokémon obliged, but got hit by a Thunder Shock. Pichu started recharging his attack.
"Dodge and use Sand Attack, then Tackle"
The quadrupled fox-like Pokémon got out of the way of the Thunder Shock before it hit and threw sand on Pichu's face. While the mouse was trying to get the sand away from him, she Tackled him. Ash spared no time and lobbed a Poké Ball at Pichu, the device wobbled thrice, and there was a click.
"I caught a Pichu!" exclaimed the Trainer, with a pose. Eevee congratulated him with a thrill.
He took his Pokédex and looked at Pichu's entry.
Pichu
Gender: M
Ability: Lightning Rod
Type: Electric
Category: Tiny Mouse Pokémon
Moves: Thunder Shock and Charm
Description: Despite this Pokémon's cute appearance, those who want to live with one should prepare to be on the receiving end of its electric jolts.
Ash's stomach started to rumble, which drew a chuckle from Leaf.
"I guess it's time for a break. Let's sit under that big tree," said the girl, pointing to a tree taller than the rest located at fifty centimetres from them. Once they sat down, Ash let his Regional Starter and his newly-captured Pokémon out of their Poké Balls.
"Ouch!" he shouted, after receiving an electric shock. The culprit was grinning.
"What was that for?" he asked in an annoyed tone.
"What you did wasn't nice," said Charmander in Pokémon, angry.
"And what will you do if I do it again?"
Charmander's flame grew slightly hotter. "Don't test me", he said.
Each of the humans called for the Pokémon to come eating, serving them Berries they had in their backpacks. As Leaf was trying to put more ketchup on her hamburger, she realized that the bottle was gone. Turning around, she saw the culprit and went after him.
"Gotcha", she said, taking the bottle from him, earning a Thunder Shock in return.
"Pichu! That wasn't nice at all!" shouted his Trainer, who had been giving more food to the Pokémon. "Apologize now!" he ordered. The mouse responded by shocking him. Seeing this, Charmander became enraged, and run after the rodent, slapping him with his tail, which sent Pichu flying. Bulbasaur caught him with her vine, avoiding the little mouse more injury.
"Hey! Knock it off!" shouted Ash to Pichu and Charmander, trying to avoid more tensions between the two Pokémon.
"I don't think that was necessary, Charmander," said Eevee to him.
"Did you see what he did?"
"I know he's a jerk, but violence isn't always the answer."
"He needs to improve his behaviour."
"I agree. Hopefully, Ash manages to make him improve."
Now that everyone, including Ash, was full, the two Pallet Town Trainers returned all of their Pokémon to their Poké Balls (save for Eevee and Cleffa) and continued walking the long route. It would take 3 days for them to reach the next city, so they would have to sleep under the stars. But for now, what the Trainers needed was more Pokémon. Looking right, Ash saw a potential new capture at a distance away. He took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the creature. While, like with many common Pokémon, he already knew what it was, he still wanted to see what the encyclopedia had to say about it.
Pidgey
Type: Normal/Flying
Category: Tiny Bird Pokémon
Description: Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction. It is capable of unerringly returning home to its nest, however far it may be removed from its familiar surroundings.
Holding a Poké Ball in one hand, Ash sent out Charmander.
"Charmander, use Scratch" commanded his Trainer.
The orange lizard ran towards its target, startling it. The bird started flapping its wings, but while doing so, Charmander managed to Scratch it. His Trainer took no time in throwing an empty Poké Ball at the bird, and it clicked.
"I caught a Pidgey!" exclaimed Ash, making a pose with the device. Both Eevee and Charmander congratulated him in their language.
As Ash spotted Pidgey, Leaf spotted a familiar rodent Pokémon at her left and sent her Grass-type to catch it.
"Bulbasaur, use Tackle", she ordered.
"Saur", said her Regional Starter, and she launched herself at the purple rodent. The latter managed to move out of the way a few centimeters, but it soon was attacked again by the Grass-type. It was immediately hit by a Poké Ball, and soon enough, it was caught. Leaf took out her Pokédex to see what it said about her new capture.
Rattata
Gender: F
Ability: Guts
Type: Normal
Category: Rat Pokémon
Moves: Tackle
Description: Will chew on anything with its fangs. If you see one, it is certain that 40 more live in the area.
"Well, now my Pokédex has 3 Pokémon registered", said the female Trainer, happy.
As the Sun was starting to set, the two humans sat down and begun to take their stuff out of their backpacks. This is where they will sleep. Unfortunately, that zone of very large oak trees was considered by some brown bird Pokémon to be their territory, and so they started to aggressively attack the humans, who had to quickly put their stuff back, and the Pokémon on the shoulder of each Trainer with repeated Pecks. Both Ash and Leaf tried to reach to their Poké Balls, but the Spearow's attack grew too painful, so they had no choice but to run for their lives from the psychotic birds. Suddenly, something crossed Leaf's mind, it was risky as it could slow her down, but she decided it was worth the risk. Grabbing Ash's hand, she teleported.
"Huh?" exclaimed Ash, baffled.
"I decided to take the risk, and teleported us."
"Good thing you're a psychic. Also, it was you who told me about my special powers."
"Yeah, but my skills aren't very good."
"I understand. It's the same with my Aura skills.
"I wonder where we are," started the girl, before adding "this city looks familiar…"
Suddenly, they heard an alarm sound coming from the nearby Pokémon Centre. They saw a large Meowth balloon approaching about the building, and went to see what was going on.
A.N.
1. This is me trying to remake the anime, while keeping everyone in-character. There would be serious moments and funny moments. Ash won't become a Gary Stu like in many other fanfics.
2. There will be shipping, but not right now. I don't know yet if I would end this in DP or no.
3. If you are wondering why I had Rattata's category to be like in Gen I (Rat Pokémon), it's because it's clearly a rat. I dunno why GF changed that.
4. If you're worried about Brock and Misty, they will appear starting from their Gyms.
5. While Natures don't affect Pokémon stats, I find them useful to describe a Pokémon's behaviour. As you can see, Pichu is mischievous, so I give him an Impish Nature. Charmander is hot-tempered (he's a Fire-type after all), so I give him a Rash Nature. Eevee has a Calm Nature. 6. Green seem to be missing from anime fanfics (Leaf/Green doesn’t have an official name in the games, but if she had one, I guess it would have been Green, since you have Red and Blue. I am calling her Leaf in this fic because you have Ash and Gary instead of Red and Blue.)
7. I also would like to thank my beta ( @Cresselia92 ) for helping me with this work and Bulbapedia for the information they have on Pokémon (like dex entries and learn sets).

Both Ash and Leaf tried to reach to their Poké Balls, but the Spearow's attack grew too painful, so they had no choice but to run for their lives from the psychotic birds. Suddenly, something crossed Leaf's mind, it was risky as it could slow her down, but she decided it was worth the risk. Grabbing Ash's hand, she teleported.
"Huh?" exclaimed Ash, baffled.
"I decided to take the risk, and teleported us."
"Good thing you're a psychic. Also, it was you who told me about my special powers."
"Yeah, but my skills aren't very good."
"I understand. It's the same with my Aura skills.
"I wonder where we are," started the girl, before adding "this city looks familiar…"
Suddenly, they heard an alarm sound coming from the nearby Pokémon Centre. They saw a large Meowth balloon approaching about the building, and went to see what was going on.
Ash:
Eevee (F):
Charmander (M)
Pichu (M)
Pidgey (F)
Leaf:
Cleffa (F)
Bulbasaur (F)
Rattata (F)

A.N.
1. This is me trying to remake the anime, while keeping everyone in-character. There would be serious moments and funny moments. Ash won't become a Gary Stu like in many other fanfics.
2. There will be shipping, but not right now. I don't know yet if I would end this in DP or no.
3. If you are wondering why I had Rattata's category to be like in Gen I (Rat Pokémon), it's because it's clearly a rat. I dunno why GF changed that.
4. If you're worried about Brock and Misty, they will appear starting from their Gyms.
5. While Natures don't affect Pokémon stats, I find them useful to describe a Pokémon's behaviour. As you can see, Pichu is mischievous, so I give him an Impish Nature. Charmander is hot-tempered (he's a Fire-type after all), so I give him a Rash Nature. Eevee has a Calm Nature. 6. Green seem to be missing from anime fanfics (Leaf/Green doesn’t have an official name in the games, but if she had one, I guess it would have been Green, since you have Red and Blue. I am calling her Leaf in this fic because you have Ash and Gary instead of Red and Blue.)
7. I also would like to thank my beta ( @Cresselia92 ) for helping me with this work and Bulbapedia for the information they have on Pokémon (like dex entries and learn sets).
