(NOTE: This is basically a modern version of Pokemon Yellow, set to Pokemon manga. But some things are different. Like to start, this involves Ash & Dawn)

Characters:
Ash, 30
Dawn, 29, Kanto's Professor
Mary, 10
Steve, 10
Paul, 10 (nothing at ALL related to anime's Paul)

Chapter 1
It was a bright sunny day in Pallet Town. The sun rose over the mountains showering the area in sunlight. The sunlight shown through the window of a girl named Mary. She has hair like her mothers’ and it was her mothers’ hair color as well. It was her 10th birthday today and like all 10 year olds before her, she’d get her starter today. Her father, Ash was reading the morning paper, sipping coffee from his mug
“Dad, where’s Mom?” Mary asked
“Don’t you remember? She’s at the Lab waiting to give you a starter Pokemon” Ash replied, glancing over at his daughter. Mary grabbed her Bag which was flung over a chair. She ran up to the Lab where she was greeted by Tracey
“Hey there, Mary, so today’s the big day” Tracey said
“Yes. It is” Mary replied
“Your mother is out back. Just go talk to her” Tracey replied before leaving to go into another room. Mary walked out into the back where the Pokemon get fresh air. She saw her mother over with the Ponyta and Rapidash, giving them hay and food
“Mom? I’m here for my Pokemon” Mary asked
“Oh hello there, dear. Can you wait a little bit? It’s hard taking care of the whole Lab by myself” she said, shaking her fist in the air

Later...
“Okay, now which Pokemon were you planning on starting with?” Dawn asked her daughter. She showed her a Charmander, Squritle and Bulbasaur.
“I need you to take all three of these Pokemon” she replied
“Why?” Mary asked
“You’re going to travel with two other Trainers. They couldn’t come here so you’ll bring the Pokemon to them” Dawn stated
“Oh, okay” Mary replied, taking the Pokeballs
“Oh, wait” Dawn replied, giving her a Poketch, “You can communicate with me by using the phone function on the Poketch”. And Mary walked out of the Lab and ran down the road out of town

“Where’s that girl who’s supposed to give us our Pokemon?” a kid with dark brown hair asked
“I’m not sure. She should’ve been here an hour ago” a boy with black hair replied. Then, they see a girl running up towards them
“Sorry I’m late” she said, showing them three Pokeballs
“So, you’re the girl who’s supposed to travel with us” the black-haired boy stated
“What are you’re names?” Mary asked
“My names’ Steve” the dark brown haired boy said
“And my name is Paul” the black haired boy replied
“What’s yours?” Steve asked
“Mary. Mary Ketchum” Mary replied. Her reply was met with flabbergasted looks from Steve and Paul
“Ketchum? Did you say your last name is Ketchum?” Steve said, shocked
“Yes. Why?” Mary replied
“The Ketchum name is Pokemon royalty!” Steve shouted, “Ash is by far the best Pokemon Trainer to ever live. And Dawn is the best Coordinator to ever live. I want to be just like Ash and my little sister wants to be like Dawn. Anyway, do you know how great your parents are?”
“Yes. I know. They have all they’re trophies, badges and ribbons all over the house” Mary replied

The group continued before the reached a clearing. The spotted a flock of wild Pidgey
“Let’s catch them!” Mary said, quietly
“How do we do that?” Paul asked. You take the Pokemon you want to battle it, then you weaken the wild Pokemon before throwing a Poke Ball. Here, I’ll show you” Mary said, walking out of the dense grass. She threw a Poke Ball and out popped Squritle
“Squritle use Bubblebeam!” Mary ordered. Squritle shot a beam of bubbles at the wild Pidgey. A cloud of smoke erupted, envolping the wild Pidgey in smoke. The wild Pidgey blew away the smoke and sent dust in the air
“That’s Pidgey’s Sand-Attack!” Steve stated
“Squritle, use Water Gun!” Mary ordered. Squritle shot water at the wild Pidgey. The Pidgey flew backwards and didn’t move
“Now, go Poke Ball!” Mary shouted, throwing a Poke Ball. It hit the wild Pidgey and sucked it inside. The ball rocked a couple of times before it stopped
“And that’s how you do it” Mary said, holding the Poke Ball that incased her wild Pidgey. Another wild Pidgey flew into the area that Mary’s Pidgey occupied.
Steve walked out of the grass and pulled out his Poke Ball. Out popped Charmander
“Charmander, Ember!” Steve ordered. Charmander launched small flares at the wild Pidgey. It hit the wild Pidgey. As the Pidgey turned around, the right wing was burned
“Pidgey was burned! Throw a Poke Ball!” Mary shouted. Steve nodded before taking a Poke Ball out of his pocket
“Go, Poke Ball!” Steve shouted. The Poke Ball flew at Pidgey and envolped it in red light. The wild Pidgey got sucked into the Poke Ball and it fell to the ground. The ball rocked three times before it too, stopped. Steve grinned as he picked up his wild Pidgey and returned to the grass
“Your turn, Paul” Steve said, looking at him. Paul recutantly stepped out of the grass and waited for a wild Pidgey to appear. When one did, he unleashed his Pokemon. Out of his Poke Ball popped Bulbasaur
“Oh, that’s not good” Mary said, “Grass types are weak against Flying types”
“Bulbasaur, Tackle!” Paul ordered. Bulbasaur charged at the Pidgey. The Pidgey dodged it and began chasing Bulbasaur from behind
“Bulbasaur, Leech Seed!” Bulbasaur stopped and launched a seed at the Pidgey. It hit it’s mark and ensnared it in weeds. The Pidgey glowed with red light as energy was being sucked out it
“Finish it off!” Mary shouted. Paul nodded
“Bulbasaur, Tackle!” Paul shouted. Bulbasaur charged at the wild Pidgey and hit its mark. The Pidgey fell to the ground
“Now go, Poke Ball!” Paul shouted, throwing a Poke Ball. The Poke Ball bounced off Pidgey and sucked it in. The ball rocked several times, before it, like the others, stopped. Paul picked up his new Pidgey and walked over to Mary and Steve
“Now, let’s get to Viridian City and heal our Pokemon” Mary said. And the three Trainers ran all the way to Viridian City

“Guess what Mom, I made it to Viridian City in one day!” Mary said to her mom via the Pokemon Center telephone
“Oh you’re just like your father, getting there in one day. Now I have things to take care of so be good and call me when you reach Pewter City” Dawn replied
“Okay Mom, I will” Mary said, and with that she hung up the phone and the screen went black
“Okay guys, lets go to Pewter City” Mary replied. And with that, the three left Viridian City and headed to Viridian Forest

END Chapter 1
 
Pretty good so far.
You might want to include Mary's feelings about her parents being famous. On the one hand, she is probably fairly proud of her parent's achievements. On the other hand, she might feel a little sad that a lot could be expected of her. After all, she is the daughter of Ash and Dawn.

I expect that they're going to meet Brock in Pewter city, so that should be good.

I'm looking forward to this story. It's an interesting idea, writing about a character's child's adventure. Just try to make sure it focuses more around Mary than Ash and Dawn.
