The Choosing by DragoniteHyperBeam Synopsis 6 and a half years ago, Ash Ketchum beat the Elite Four and Gary to become the pokemon master. His reign was short-lived however when AJ annihilates him for the title. Gary who had been training for a rematch saw how Ash was beaten badly and since he had close matches with Ash saw that attempting to fight AJ was useless. Gary remembered that Agatha was retiring from the Elite Four and a contest was being held to see who would be the master ghost trainer in the Elite Four. Gary won and later had a son who is applying for a license from Prof. Oak. AJ's first insistution as Pokemon master was to add two badges: The Honey and The Magical and you had to get at least 8 badges for pokemon league. Meanwhile Ash signs up as an assistant for Prof.Oak's lab hoping to get revenge against AJ by coaching a youth. Ash sees the same bird he did at the beginning of his journey and vows to catch it as a seconardy goal. Now for our second journey...... "Oooh!!What'd I get" A boy named Josh says as he opens a pokeball as a present for his birthday..." A Geodude , Mom that's what I wanted" Josh says. The rules were changed awhile ago by AJ which is that: For his/her birthday a person who hasn't become a trainer can only receive TWO pokemon, One more and the trainer cannot choose a starting pokemon. "Pick out mine next" Erika , Josh's sister (she'd traveled to Pallet to see her parents and to give him a present) "Another pokemon , I'll just be loaded down" says Josh jokingly as he opens the pokeball."Bulbasaur" the pokemon said."Yay!! A Bulbasaur" " I've got a present too , says his father" as he pulls out a check for $5000 "I understand pokemon journeys can be expensive" "My present last" Says his grandfather , who used to be a breeder. "This is a Dratini" says his grandfather. "How am I supposed to take it?? You know the rules" Josh says " I'd like you to forsake the choosing because you already have the Bulbasaur" Josh's grandfather says. "I can feel this Dratini is special" His grandfather says "Since I already have a Bulbasaur , I think I will" Josh says The next day , Josh has three pokeballs on his belt as he walks to Prof.Oak's lab. When he get there a aide says: "Listen I'd like to talk to you" the man says What does the man want? I think we already know who the man is. Anyway next part coming soon.
