Sample:
In the pokémon professor's lab Samuel Oak sighed as he eyed the contraption he had created in conjunction with his colleagues abroad to study and record pokémon behaviour and species. The pokédex and this one in particular was going to the most curious of the people he knew, Ash Ketchum. If he was honest with himself ever since he and Delia had found in the forest, well Delia had found him in the forest, he had always held a special place for the boy and with time he had come to see him as his own son. He would miss the boy when he was gone but he couldn't help but feel excited at the prospect the amount of information he would gather with the help of Ash. He had installed by Ash's request a small camera on the pokédex, allowing him to record pokémon's behaviour and battles for further study, along with a cellphone feature allowing them to communicate with each other no matter how far away they were as long as the area was covered by Kanto's wireless information network, K-WIN for short. He just hoped he wouldn't mind the extra weight.
Ash smirked to himself as he approached the pokémon laboratory main door and mentally plotted his course across Kanto. He was so distracted that he would have run into one of the professor's aides had vaporeon not tugged him out the way. After giving vaporeon a pat on the had as a thank you Ash quickly found professor Oak in the backroom of the lab looking over a pokédex with a faraway look.
"Hello professor. Anybody home?" Ash playfully asked waving his hand in front of Samuel's face.
Professor Oak gave a start and jumped back holding the pokédex as a weapon and groaned as he watched as Ash sniggered at his expanse. Taking several deep breaths to calm himself down the professor greeted Ash with a strained smile.
"Hello to you too Ash, I see you took upon yourself the task of sending me to an early grave" the professor greeted the tall pre-teen back and watched with annoyance as Ash stopped sniggering and settled for an unnaturally large grin.
"So is this my pokédex?" Ash inquired already examining the machine he had discreetly taken from Oak's hands.
More than used to Ash's behaviour just nodded his head in answer to the question before taking the device from the youth's hands.
"I have added the extra features as you asked and that had the side effect of your pokédex being quite a bit heavier than a normal one. I hope you understand that you are a special case as I was only able to make this changes on the bases that you would be helping me and countless other people with their research with the footage you will be gathering throughout your trip. And on a side note I have already given your mother your mother the number of your pokédex so that she can contact you anytime during your travel." professor Oak explained to Ash as he showed the features of the pokédex.
After thanking him and picking up the pokéball professor Oak had put aside for his pokémon, secured them to his belt and left with his pokémon for Virdian City.
Ash was already half the way to Virdian City when he heard screams coming from behind him. Looking back he saw a red haired girl, that he had seen fishing on the nearby stream, on a bicicle being chased by an angry cloud of spearow.
Misty Mayflower hadn't been having a very good day. She had spent her entire day seating on the bank of a stream where she had caught her goldeen two years back and not even a magikarp had bitten. She had been so frustrated she had pulled back on her cane with al her force and hit a spearow who had been flying by. Now normally that would be nothing bad but the god damned bird had started squawking like a loon and called on all of the spearow of the forest. They had atacked her all at once not giving starmie and staryu a chance. They had continued to chase her even after she had got on her bike. She had been on her last breath when she had seen a man on the road ahead of her with three pokémon around him. Fuelled by hope she began peddling with all her strength trying to catch up to him all the way yelling to get his attention. She saw him and his pokémon stop and look at her but as she approached and he did nothing despair once again took over and tears were already pouring over her face when she suddenly felt a strong arm lifting her by the waist and her head being pressed against a chest as a strong voice commanded "Jolteon, thundervolt!". She sobbed against his chest while the sound of electricity filled her ears and when they ended and she couldn't hear no more cries of spearows she let herself fall asleep in whoever arms she was in.
Ash looked over the sleeping redhead he held in his arms and and sighed. This wasn't how he had expected his journey to begin. Nonetheless he couldn't stop now so might as well continue on and leave her at Virdian's Pokémon Center. Taking a treat from his backpack and throwing it to jolteon to congratulate him for a job well done Ash stood up from his kneeling position and put his feet to the road intent on reaching Virdian before sundown.
