Summary: The start of a young boy's journey through the world of Pokemon. This is his quest to find his identity as he was born into a famous family and is painfully and absolutely ordinary. Team Rocket has formed a new initiative in this future of the current game/anime world and their plan is to harness the power of the legendary Pokemon to accomplish this task. A new group has also emerged and will be introduced later in the story, are they to be trusted?
Author's Note: I know that OT Fics are frowned upon by a lot of people but this is just the first in a series I am planning and it will have some nice little twists here and there. There will be a nice mix of existing and original characters in this series. I took a few creative liberties with some characters so if I altered your favorite character in anyway I am sorry! Also I am not the best writer in the world and I acknowledge that if anything feels weak to the reader or if I made a mistake (there will be a lot trust me) or if you have ANY critiques at all feel free to share them I love constructive criticism but please be gentle. I am new to fanfiction I have dabbled before but this is the culmination of all that dabbling and should be a fun ride. I hope you all stick around for it! Also if you would like a character in the story or a cameo at all PM me and I WILL find a place for you/them as some parts of the story are not fully fleshed out as of yet (mainly in the sequels the Kanto saga is pretty much just ready to be fully written). Enjoy this and please leave a review of it as this project can only get better.

Now without further ado the story!
==========================================================
"The Pokemon world is full of many mysteries and intrepid people determined to delve deep into these mysteries. These people range from hopeful young Pokemon trainers to skilled gym leaders to powerful elite four members to world-renowned professors to stylish and hip Pokemon coordinators and so many more. There also exist evil people in this world as in any world that aim to harness the power of the mysterious legendary Pokemon to realize their own nefarious plans. Many have heard the legends and believe them to all be a myth, some people however, do not see these stories as myths and are determined to protect the delicate balance of the world that these legendary Pokemon have preserved for many years."
CHAPTER 1
An alarm clock blared and violently penetrated the ears of a young boy trying to cling to the last few precious seconds of sleep. With a yelp he rolled over abruptly and tumbled off his bed onto the hard floor of his room causing his sleeping Growlithe to jump and yip in surprise.
"Sorry buddy! I guess I just wasn't ready to wake up yet." He laughed nervously seeing the displeased look on his pet's face. The Growlithe simply turned its back on the boy and laid back down on its bed to return to sleep. The young boy just shook his head and walked out of his room and wandered down the hall to the bathroom.
After a nice long shower the boy was drying his long messy brown hair while staring into the mirror not really thinking anything. As he brushed his teeth his mind drifted into glorious daydreams about the life ahead of him. Today was no ordinary day for this boy as it was finally his time to become the next in his family's proud history of Pokemon trainers. Today was the first day since he turned the magic age of 10 that Professor Oak would be giving out "starter Pokemon" to rookie trainers. He was more than excited as he ran his hand through his hair and decided that was good enough without a comb and bolted out the door of the bathroom.
He was Yuki, the son of world-famous Ash Ketchum and Kanto Gym Leader Misty (now) Ketchum. Not only did he have that to live up to, but his older brothers (two of them) had both become famous Pokemon trainers already. He was painfully ordinary when it came to… Anything, in his opinion, he was never the smartest or the most athletic kid in school. He wasn't even stunningly attractive, he was plain looking, he had dull brown eyes and dark brown hair, he was average in height and he was cursed with bad eyesight he had worn glasses for as long as he could remember. Confidence was never his strong suit he always preferred to keep to himself whenever possible because, he was worried about being compared to his father, mother, or worse his brothers. Being shy didn't prevent him from making friends however, he still struggled to sort the ones who liked him from the ones who just wanted to get a chance to meet Ash Ketchum through him.
Yuki pulled on a pair of dark jeans and a black t-shirt deciding on a journey it was better to just dress comfortably as opposed to fashionably. He pulled on some plain white sneakers tying them slowly as he glanced around his messy room smiling fondly but with a hint of sadness. As a final touch to his outfit he put a necklace around his neck on it was a lightning bolt charm that his best friend had given him on his 10th birthday as a good luck charm for his journey. Picking up a black backpack full of supplies and some extra clothing he'd need for his journey he sighed and left the room pausing only to give Growlithe time to scamper out.
Walking down the only too familiar squeaky stairs of his house he stopped and took the time to look at each photo carefully placed on the wall. He knew he'd miss his parents and this house. Then Growlithe brushed past him running for the kitchen and the smell of breakfast snapping him out of his daze. He slowly walked into the kitchen to find his mother and father sitting at the table already eating what could only be described as the most immaculate breakfast Yuki had ever seen. He was about to point out this was out of the ordinary before he was hugged tightly by an overly excited Mr. Mime.
Laughing and pushing the Mr. Mime off himself he said, "Hey dude! You and Grandma must have whipped all this up!" The Mr. Mime nodded enthusiastically and led him to his place at the table so he could eat.
"Now just because they are here doesn't mean I didn't cook!" His mother said looking a little offended. Ash tried (unsuccessfully) to stifle a laugh earning him a glare from Misty.
"I am not saying you can't cook Mom… Well actually, you can't cook Mom." Yuki said with a big grin, not able to contain himself Ash roared with laughter and mustering whatever dignity she could Misty took a large bite of a pancake and turned her attention to the newspaper, "The Kanto Times", and tuned them out as she was accustomed to doing.
Delia Ketchum entered the room shaking her head smiling at them, "You are all just alike you know that?" She sat down with them after hugging her youngest grandson and they all ate slowly laughing and joking together while enjoying Delia's amazing cooking as Mr. Mime threw a ball for Growlithe in an unsuccessful attempt to stop him from begging.
Ash cleared his throat glancing up at the clock, "So Yuki have you put any thought into your first Pokemon yet?" The women stopped their conversation about the latest Pokemon clothing to listen to this conversation as they were all curious.
"Well I was thinking of going with Charmander because your Charizard was always such a reliable Pokemon." Yuki said nervously, this choice had been haunting him for about a month now as the date drew closer and closer.
"I think Squirtle is the only real choice for you honey." Misty interjected, every time one of her sons became a trainer she had hoped one of them would have decided to be a water Pokemon master like she was. To her dismay none of them had so far and Yuki was her youngest child.
Another reason he had been so hesitant about his choice is because he knew everyone wanted him to pick something different it was becoming very confusing for him at this point.
"PIKA-PIIII!" The yellow electric Pokemon, Pikachu, had been quiet up to this point sitting in a booster seat at the table next to Ash.
"Pikachu buddy I would choose a Pikachu but that was a special thing because dad could never be on time anywhere." Yuki explained shooting a grin at his dad.
"Well son just pick what your heart tells you ok?" Ash said. Misty nodded her agreement secretly trying to convince herself it was his choice and if he chose not to be a water Pokemon master she'd support his decision.
When breakfast was finished and Delia made a move to do the dishes Mr. Mime stopped her and pointed to the door indicating she should go with Yuki and the others to the ceremony and he'd do the dishes and watch after Growlithe. Sighing in defeat as she knew it was pointless to argue with Mr. Mime she followed the others out the door and they set off for the famous Oak Laboratory.
