Here is a quick post about the story that I am currently reading this week. This is a cute furthershipping story. For those who don't know what furthershipping, it is the relationship between Ash and Leaf (Blue), the girl from the FireRed and LeafGreen games. I like this couple because they never talk about the other two trainers that left Pallet Town except that they gave up on their journey. Well I always thought that one of those two could have been the a girl, similar to how Blue is in the comic.

The story is called Master of Johto by Rayquaza45, and can be found at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5937462/1/Masters_of_Johto.

As always, here is the first chapter of Master of Johto

Chapter 1: Finding out

A raven haired teenager woke up late on a Friday, feeling completely exhausted from the surprise 14th birthday party thrown for him during the previous night at his friend and former rival, Gary Oak's house. Proud of his recent accomplishments in the Sinnoh region, Ash Ketchum of Pallet town had come home two weeks prior. His mother Delia, Professor Oak, Gary himself and Tracy Sketchit had all been at the party, along side the teenage trainer's most recent traveling buddies: Dawn Berlitz and Brock Harrison. Not to mention all of their pokemon. The party had gone on till early in the morning and involved some questionable activities while Delia Ketchum and the Professor had left to attend to some business in town.

It's didn't exactly help that Gary's 14th birthday party had run a similar length just one day prior and had involved even more questionable activities. Not having adults in the house was awesome. Strange that it happened on two consecutive days. Ash tried to get out of his bed while exhausted, resulting in him falling on his ass. The pain quickly put him in an alert state of mind. Quickly brushing his teeth, taking a bath and getting dressed, Ash got ready to chow down. He ran downstairs, almost tripping on the stairs on the way.

"Hey, mom?" Ash said quietly while looking around. There was no response. "Strange."

His mother was nowhere to be seen. Her trusty Mr. Mime had also vanished. Ash put his shoes on, assuming that his mom had gone out. Suddenly, Pikachu came up to him.

"Hey Pikachu. Do you know where mom went?"

Pikachu simply pointed out the large building that could be seen from the window: Professor Oak's lab. Dawn had been staying there since Ash had finished up in Sinnoh two weeks prior. Brock had visited his own family and returned for the party the previous day. He left once again late in the night after an emergency in the Pewter City gym required his immediate attention. In contrast, Dawn's intention was to travel Kanto for pokemon contests as Ash's friend May once did. Her 12th birthday had already passed by just before the group finished up in Sinnoh; it was unfortunate that she didn't get to spend it with her family, having been far away from her home in Twinleaf Town. As to the accomplished pokemon trainer: he didn't have an immediate plan regarding where to go next on his journey and was just biding his time till something came up. Grabbing his belt containing his pokeballs and putting on his coat, he exited the house.
