Hey guys, paintball331 here with my first FanFiction story :). Since this is my first then the writing style probably won't be to good

:(. I won't have a regular uploading schedule since I have school. So without further ado let's get to chapter 1!

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN POKEMON (I wish I did :P)

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Ash POV

"ASH." I hear someone yell. I turn my head towards the voice and smile, Serena and Clemont run towards me with wide smiles and good intentions. I finish putting my books in my locker, then after I latch my lock I turn and before I can take one step, Serena and Clemont are already 3 feet away from me.

"Ash how was your summer vacation?" Clemont asks with a goofy grin. But of course I gave him the usual answer.

"Oh you know the usual, I went back to Kanto to see my mom." I say with a smile but I hear Serena groan and I turn to her direction.

"Ash why can't you go somewhere fun for summer vacation for once?" She frowns while placing her hands on her hips.

I roll my eyes and decided to change the subject. "What are your schedules for this semester?"

Clemont pulled out a small yellow sheet of paper while adjusting his glasses. He hands it to me and I start reading:

Innovative Thinking

Robotics 101

Lunch

Mechanical Engineering

Pokemon Basics

"Wait you are taking Pokemon basics too?" I smile while saying, clearly enjoying the thought of being in the same class as my friend.

Serena rolls her eyes and let's out a sigh. "It's mandatory Ash, you have to take it whether you like it or not".

"Oh… But still we're in the same class that's cool right?" I continue to smile while letting out the reply. I hand Clemont back his schedule, he gives me a smile while taking it.

Serena shakes her head and let's out another sigh. "Look at mine." She says while handing me her schedule, I take a look at that little yellow sheet of paper.

Showcasing for the best

Fashion and Design

Lunch

Foods

Pokemon Basics

I hand her back the paper and look into her blue eyes. She changed over the summer, her short honey-blonde hair grew reaching to her shoulders. She had a light tan on her, she dressed with a grey sleeveless top with a red skirt, she had black stockings on with shoes that climbed halfway to her knees... ASH STOP IT THIS IS SERENA, STOP IT.

"Hello, Kalos to Ash, can you hear me?" Serena waves her hand in front me while Clemont is standing next to her, snapping his fingers right next to my ear.

I shake my head a bit and give them a knowing smile. "I see you are looking into showcasing now, what happened to Ryhorn Racing?".

She punches me in the arm lightly and says "Shut up Ketchum, you know my mom will never get me to Ryhorn Race". Clemont starts chuckling quite a bit "Come on Ash," he says "Show us your schedule." I hand them my little yellow slip and they eye it carefully.

Kalos League History

8 Gyms you will battle

Lunch

Battling with your Pokemon

Pokemon Basics

They hand me back my schedule. Clemont opens his mouth to speak but the PA beats him to it.

"Attention all students, this is Headmaster Sycamore speaking. I just want to welcome students to the 100th year of Lumiose High, the staff and I are prepared to give you the best education Kalos can give you, so without further delay please head to your dorms and meet with dorm leaders of you have not yet done so already. Let's have a great year at Lumiose High everyone."

We just stare at the speaker and Clemont breaks out laughing. Serena and I stare at him like he's nuts. He regains his composure and starts digging out a piece of paper to give to us. He hands it over and we read it over.

To Clemont

Dear Clemont since you will be attending grade 12 after the summer, the grade 12 coordinators and I decided that you would be a good dorm leader for the last year you are attending Kalos High. We expect many things from you so show us the best you got.

With Regards

Headmaster Sycamore

Serena and I look at the letter with jaws dropped. Finally Serena shrieks "HOW DID YOU GET THE DORM LEADERSHIP AND NOT ME? I APPLIED YEARS AGO AND YOU JUST GOT IT LIKE THAT? DID YOU EVEN APPLY FOR IT?."

Clemont backs up a few steps. I quickly clamp my hand over Serena's mouth to shut her up. Slowly but surely she loses her temper, I take my hand off her mouth and she lets out a huge sigh. She opens her mouth to say something else but I give her a look saying 'No.'

We head off towards our dorms in silence, seemed a bit awkward so I decided to break it with a question. "You know I never asked what you guys did on summer vacation!"

That seemed to put a smile on their faces. Clemont and Serena look at each other, Clemont gives her a nod as if saying 'You first.' Serena turns to me and gives another warming smile, she starts talking about how she went to the beach with her friend Shauna (explains where the tan came from). She then explained how she met some guys while on vacation but I suddenly lose interest. My mind goes on Autopilot and I start thinking about how it was possible one of those guys probably charmed her or something, none of those guys probably don't deserve Serena's attention… Ash Ketchum what do you think you're doing? Serena's not your girlfriend so why are you complaining?

"Hello Ash? Are you ok?" Serena says with confusion "Why do you keep blasting off to Lala Land?"

I shake my head and give them another smile. "No reason… Let's just head to our dorms."

We reached our dorms not to long after, we look at the room number on our sheet, it says '33B.' We locate the room and I open the door, inside there are 3 beds and 2 bathrooms.

Serena walks into the room and flops on the bed to the far left. "This one's mine called it!" She proclaims.

Clemont points to the bed to the far right saying "I guess I'll take this one then."

I look at the bed in the middle, nothing fancy but it could use improvement.

I sit down on it and I take out a pokeball from my belt, Serena notices and asks "Ash what are you doing? You know there is a no open Pokemon policy in place right?"

I look at her with a moodless face. "Right I know, I'm just looking."

She shakes her head for the millionth time today and turns to Clemont.

"When do classes start Clemont?." Serena asks.

Clemont stops fumbling with the parts in his hands and looks up at his watch. "Uh sometime around… 12:30 I think, not entirely sure," Serena let's out a exasperated sigh and opens her mouth to say a reply, but her phone buzzes and she turns her attention to it.

She squints at the screen and squeals, "Oh My Gosh, Shauna just texted me saying she just arrived. I'll see you guys later, I'm going to meet up with her." We give her a nod and she exits through the door, I decided to grab the remote to watch TV. I turn it on and the news comes on, I keep switching through channels but nothing seems to catch my interest.

I let out another sigh, I turn to Clemont and ask "You wanna explore the campus till class starts?".

He looks up at me and shakes his head, "No I'm fine you can go yourself if you want."

I give him a small smile and say, "Yeah sure, see you in a bit." I walk out the door and as soon as I turn this corner, there is this huge crowd surrounding this guy, I walk up to a guy standing around the outskirts of the crowd and I tap his shoulder to get his attention.

He turns around with a smile and asks, "Hey, what can I help you with?"

I return the smile and ask, "What's with the huge crowd?"

"Oh, you see the guy in the middle?" He asks. I crane my neck just to get a visual, I get a small view of him but it's enough to tell his personality. He looks around 6 feet tall with brown hair and these huge muscles that nobody wants to mess with.

I look back to the guy and let out a simple "Yeah?"

"He is the winner of the Kalos Youth League. Apparently him and his Charizard wiped the floor with all his opponents!" I just stare at him with shock then I look back at the crowd.

"Wait you are telling me that's THE Calem everyone is talking about?" The guy nods his head in reply.

I just stand there before the guy speaks again, "My name is Gary by the way. What's yours?" He stretches his hand out for a handshake.

I grab his hand and shake it with reply, "My name's Ash."

He smiles and says "Nice to meet you Ash, mind if I see your schedule?" I give him my paper and he reads over it, "Cool," he says, "I have 'Kalos League History' with you!"

I let out another smile and reply saying "I'll see you 1st period then", He nods his head. Soon enough the PA comes back on.

"Attention all students, this is Headmaster Sycamore again. I just have a short message so this won't take long. It is nearing 12:30pm so will all students head to their first period classes please? Thank you and have a nice first day at Lumiose High everyone!"

Gary looks at me and says "So then let's go to class". I nod in reply, heading off for the start of the first day of school.

So I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Lumiose High! Sorry if it was a bit short but like I said it is my first FanFiction so it will be rusty in some areas. But if you did like it please send me a review or just favourite it. Thanks and paintball331 out!
