Chapter 1: Adam's Arrival
 
Pallet Town, 9:26 P.M.
 
A bluish - purple van pulled up in the Ketchum's driveway. Out stepped Lisa Keye, a slender, beautiful woman in her early 40's, wearing a yellow - green outfit, & Adam Keye, a little taller than his Mom. He was wearing black pants and a black shirt, with a red overshirt. His black hair was parted in the middle. They advanced towards the door, while the silhouette of Delia Ketchum appearing at the doorway.
 
" Lisa, Adam, come in! Hey! "
 
Delia & Lisa exchanged their hellos several times, when Adam stepped in. Delia about went berserk. " Hey, there you are, Adam! Oh, my God, you're getting tall! "
 
She ran over, and threw her arms around Adam, who smiled. She was only 5'8,'' while he was 6'2.'' He spoke, " Hey, remember the last time when I was here? I was only two, and I had gotten into your makeup, because I didn't know what it was? "
 
" Yeah, " Delia said. " And you were as pink as cotton candy when we found you. You looked hilarious! "
 
Adam laughed with Delia, who continued:
 
" Oh, Adam, this's Ash. "
 
" Hey, Adam. " Ash said, studying him. The two shook hands, while Ash was surprised to find that he was a foot taller than him.
 
" Ash, " Adam said. " I'd like to challenge you to a quick battle. One - on - one. Would that be okay, Delia? "
 
" Yeah, I'd like to see how you battle. " She replied. " But, just to make sure we're completely safe, Lisa, let's just stay inside, and watch out the window. "
 
" Yeah, I agree. "
 
                                                                                                                               ************************************************
 
Outside,  Adam said:
 
" Okay, you know the rules: 1 - On - 1, No Holds Barred... "
 
Adam looked at Delia and Lisa, who were evidently clearing their throats, to let him know of their existence.

" Well, maybe a little bit of restraint, & the last Pokemon with HP wins. Agreed? "
 
" You bet. "
 
" All right, you wanna' send out your first Pokemon? "
 
" Okay, you're askin' for it, here's my strongest, comin' at ya!' Pikachu, let's Go! "
 
" Pika! " The yellow, electric rodent said. He hopped off of Ash's shoulder, & landed on the ground, ready to battle.
 
" All right. Haunter, Go! "
 
Ash suddenly got a chill, which he hid. It wasn't about the challenge, either.
 
" Pikachu, try to pull off a Foresight! "
 
Pikachu grimaced, and beared his fists, while he glowed with electricity, and shot out a charge of electricity.
 
" We're gonna' make sure it doesn't happen! " Adam said. " Dodge it! "
 
Haunter faded out, and appeared to the left. Then, Adam decided,
 
" Hey, I've got an idea, Haunter! Let him hit you with it! We haven't had a considerably skilled challenge yet! Okay? "
 
" Haunter. " He said, nodding.
 
The surge of electricity struck Haunter, but didn't hurt him. It merely made him flash.
 
" Okay, " Ash said. " It's going according to plan! Pikachu, do the Secret Move! "
 
Pikachu charged in for a Quck Attack, but feinted for an Agility, then used a Thunderbolt from behind, striking Haunter, who rebounded with a Night Shade, catching Pikachu off - balance for a Lick.
 
" Pikachu, Quick Attack! "
 
Pikachu now, really, charged in for a Quick Attack. However:
 
" Night Shade! "
 
Pikachu was blasted back, evidently badly injured. Even so, Adam showed no mercy in battle, & anyone who had faced him knew that. " Shadow Ball! "
 
Haunter focused purplish energy into a ball, which shot out at Pikachu, exploding on impact. Adam won.
 
" Good fight. " Ash said.
 
" Yeah, you too. "
 
The two shook hands again, and went inside.
