When I Meet Ash, Misty and Brock! It was a day like any other at my home. My family had died a long time ago. Today was the anniversary of the day I found out that they were dead. This made me feel even more upset than before. I was all alone now. I was watching my favorite show, Pokemon. Not even that could cheer me up now. The episode ended. I plopped in my bed, crying into my pillow. I was just about to go and get my meds and water when I started to feel like I was being sent somewhere! I woke up in a strange world. I walked around a bit. I was amazed at what I saw. Me: This is amazing! This is the world of Pokemon! However, where am I? I looked around for a sign that would tell me where I was. I soon came across a sign that said Pallet Town. I knew this place! This was Ash Ketchum’s hometown! I decided to go sit down outside of Ash’s house for a while. As soon as I sat down, I saw a Ryhorn! It was charging right at me! I tried to get out of its way, however, no such luck! It trampled me! After it was done, it went back into the wild. I was groaning in pain! I tried my best to get up, but to no luck. I was on the ground outside of Ash’s home. Misty looked through the window. Misty: Ash, there is someone on the ground in front of your house. It looks like he is in a lot of pain. Ash, Misty and Brock opened the door and ran right over to me. They helped me up and took me into Ash’s home. After a few hours, I woke up. Me: Where am I? I saw Ash, Misty and Brock next to me. Ash: You are in my home. We found you on the ground in front of my house. Who are you? Me: My name is Joshua. I was trampled by a Ryhorn. It did a number on me. Misty: Joshua, huh? That is a nice name. I told Ash Misty and Brock what happened and how I got here. My head was hurting me a lot. Brock: You do look to be in a lot of pain, Joshua. Maybe you should rest. I took Brock’s advice. Therefore, I went to sleep for a while. I woke up several hours later. I looked around; however, I did not see Ash, Misty or Brock anywhere beside me. I decided to get up and look for them. For some reason I felt like I knew Ash somehow. I got to the kitchen and I saw Mrs. Ketchum there. I went up to her. Me: Hi, Mrs. Ketchum. I am Joshua. Your son, Ash and his friends found me on the ground in front of your home. They brought me in. Mrs. Ketchum looked at me. Mrs. Ketchum: Oh yeah! Ash told me that he, Misty and Brock brought a boy in the house. What happened to you, Josh? Why were you on the ground? I told Mrs. Ketchum what happened to me. Mrs. Ketchum: Oh, my! Well, at least you look better now. Would you like something to eat and drink to get your strength back? Me: I do not want you to go to the trouble. Mrs. Ketchum: It is no trouble at all, Josh. Mrs. Ketchum made me something to eat and gave me something to drink. I had a lot of stuff on my mind. Mrs. Ketchum: Is something wrong, Josh? Me: Well, there is something bothering me, Mrs. Ketchum. I feel like I know Ash somehow. Mrs. Ketchum: Well, you actually do know him Josh. Here, let me show you what I mean. Mrs. Ketchum got up from the table. She got what looked like a picture book. She skimmed through a couple of pages. She finally found the page she was looking for. She than sat down next to me at the table. She showed me what looked like an old picture. My eyes widened. It was a picture of Ash and me! I did not know what this meant. Mrs. Ketchum: This was taken just a few days after Ash was born. You are Ash’s brother Josh. I put you up for adoption so Team Rocket could not find you. I had to take care of Ash. I truly am sorry for leaving you at that orphanage. Ash was upset. I think he missed you more than I did. Mrs. Ketchum closed the book. She put back where she got it. She sat back at the table with me. Me: Mrs. Ketchum, dose Ash know this? Mrs. Ketchum: I think he may have forgotten that you are his brother. You will have to tell him.
