Ash Ketchum was home. After almost ten years. He had left Kanto in order to become a pokemon master. Now that that dream had turned into reality, he decided to take a little break. He had met a lot of people on his journey. But the ones he missed the most were his earliest aquaintances and his oldest friends. Brock, Misty and Tracy were his three oldest friends. After them had come May,Max,Dawn and many others.
Ash had decided to go and meet all his friends. First, he went over to Professor Oak's lab. To his surprise, the professor was not alone. With him were Brock, Tracy and Gary.
"Oh my God!!!! Ash!!", shouted Tracy in surprise. He almost dropped a tray of pokeballs in his excitement. A large smile emerged on his face.
"Ash!!!", said Brock, his voice full of brotherly affection, as he went over and gave him a hug."It's been so long."
"Hey guys," said Ash shyly. It surprised him that he was feeling nervous talking to his best friends.
"Well Ash. congratulations. You did it. Pokemon Master." This was Gary. No longer the jealous type, Gary had long forgotten the rivalry between him and Ash and now considered Ash his friend.
"Ash, my dear boy",said Professor Oak affectionately,"come sit down. It's been so long. We have a lot to catch up on."
"It's so good to be home." Sitting in the Professor's lab, with his friends, Ash found this the only thing recurring in his thoughts and words."So tell me. How have you all been?"
"Well",said the Professor,"I have officially retired as head scientist and have given over my lab to Gary. I am now studying deformities and diseases in pokemon, in my spare time, apart from pursuing golf." He laughed at the look on Ash's face and continued,"Yes. I am now a member of the Retiree's Golf Foundation. But that doesn't mean that I don't love researching on Pokemon. I do."
"Oh yes",added Gary."Though he's handed over the lab to me, he still plays an active role here and frankly, I need the guaidance. You know Ash, if ten years ago someone had told me that I would make Pokemon Research my life,I would have laughed at them. But now......." He smiled, remembering the past.
"So Brock, Tracy, what about you guys? Got any shocking news for me?", said Ash.
"Well",said Tracy,"I'm currently on board Gary's new project-Cross evolution of Pokemon. It's basically the study of all those pokemon that can evolve into those of another element,like,a water pokemon becoming a fire pokemon or a ground pokemon becoming psychic. My job is to monitor and record all changes in the pokemon. It works through certain stones,whose composition scientists are still trying to figure out."
"Wow! Impressive!"said Ash,"Seems like you've found the perfect job Trace".
"As for me",said Brock,holding up his hand,"I'm engaged!!"
"Oh my God Brock!! Congratulations",said Ash,truly happy for his friend,"Who's the lucky maiden who could not only capture, but also hold on to your heart?" He laughed, remembering Brock's days of Jenny's and Joy's.
"Believe it or not, it's Daisy Waterflower!!!", said Brock." I used to visit Misty alot and I don't know how or when, but Daisy and I fell in love. Now here we are, a week from getting married. Ash, no excuses. You have to come to our weddind."
"Of course,I wouldn't miss it for the world",said Ash,"Well, I better get going. I have to rent a tux. Can't meet the bride dressed in slacks can I?" He laughed.
On his way home, Ash knew that it wasn't tbe bride alone he wanted to see. It was someone very close to the bride, someone very close and very special.
