A year had passed since Ash Ketchum came to this world, and as he stood near his hiding spot by Route 1 Forest, a smile spread across his face.
The forest had become a sanctuary for him—a place where he had spent countless hours training, exploring, and honing his skills.
With the rustling leaves overhead and the chirping of wild Pokémon in the distance, Ash felt a comforting sense of peace.
His training sessions had paid off; he had achieved intermediate levels in both his Aura and Psychic abilities.
This accomplishment was significant, and Ash relished the progress he had made. Every day brought new challenges, and he approached them with a calm determination that was becoming his trademark.
After finishing his practice, Ash took a moment to admire the Luxury Ball, a symbol of his hard work.
He carefully placed it in his bag alongside his Max Potion, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over him. With his items secured, he headed home, the familiar sight of his house drawing nearer.
As he approached, a wave of warmth enveloped him. He couldn't wait to share his progress with his mom.
Upon entering, the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals greeted him. Delia looked up from the kitchen counter, her smile brightening the room. "Welcome back, Ash! How was your training today?"
"It was amazing, Mom! I made progress in my Psychic abilities!" he exclaimed, excitement bubbling over.
Delia beamed with pride. "I knew you could do it! You've worked so hard over the past year." She placed a plate of food in front of him, and he eagerly dug in.
As they enjoyed their meal, Delia's expression shifted to one of excitement.
"I have some news for you, Ash! Professor Oak is hosting a summer camp next week, and I've already taken care of the paperwork for you to join."
Ash paused mid-bite, his eyes widening with excitement. "A summer camp? With Professor Oak?"
"Yes! It's a great opportunity for young aspiring trainers to learn and experience more about Pokémon and training techniques. I thought it would be perfect for you," she explained, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
Ash felt a rush of anticipation. This camp was more than just an event; it was a chance to learn directly from one of the best Pokémon researchers in the world. "That sounds incredible! What will we be doing there?"
Delia smiled, pleased with his enthusiasm. "You'll participate in workshops, interact with different Pokémon, and even go on field trips. It'll be a lot of fun, and you might even meet other kids your age!"
"Wow, I can't wait!" Ash exclaimed, his mind racing with possibilities. This summer camp could open up new avenues for him in the Pokémon world.
"Just remember, Ash, to take everything you learn to heart. This is a great opportunity for you to grow," Delia encouraged, her tone warm and supportive.
"I will, Mom! I promise!" he said, a determined gleam in his eyes.
As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow through the kitchen window, Ash felt a renewed sense of excitement about the upcoming week. With his improved abilities and the chance to attend Professor Oak's summer camp, he was ready for the adventures that lay ahead.
After finishing his meal, Ash excused himself and headed to his room, still buzzing with excitement from the day. As he settled onto his bed, he opened the Pokémon Master System to access his status window.
