Oddities: Has anyone ever noticed the oddities in Pokemon? Well I have, and here are the one shots addressing them.

Oddity #1: Schooling: No one in the pokemon world goes out with an education beyond what you would get as a ten year old. So that would put you in what, Grade 4/5? How could you really get a job with that?

Ash Ketchum had finally realized his dream. Now at the tender age of 27, he was finally recognized as a pokemon master. The question now was what to do? There weren't any new regions to explore (that he knew of) and training his pokemon had become boring ever since Gary had gone into being a pokemon researcher. The challenge just wasn't there any more. These days, he sat at home in his mom's house watching contests. Translation, he watched t.v. all day.

For the first week his mom had been happy to have her little baby home, after the second, she was getting tired of picking up after him, after a month she finally got tired of it and kicked him out of the house, *"I don't care where you go Ash Ketchum, but until you are ready to take responsability for your own life, you aren't welcome here!" and then she slammed the door behind him.

"Guess I need to get a job." Ash muttered, scratching Pikachu's ears, "I know, we'll go to Professor Oaks! I'm sure I can get a job there!"

As it turned out, the old man had more company than he knew what to do with, what with Max (May's little bro), Tracey, and Gary all there helping out. "Sorry Ash, there just isn't anything for you to do here." He had said kindly

Viridian wasn't much better. When Giovanni had been arrested as the leader of Team Rocket, the gym which he had started fell into disrepair for want of a gym leader. Eventually a new road was built to the league so even the trainers that had been stopping there as a pre-stop to the league didn't visit anymore.

Everywhere Ash stopped it was the same story, the economy was bad because new trainers couldn't afford the prices at the pokemarts. Even the pokecenter had fallen on hard times, charging trainers for staying the night. And when he did get an interview, as soon as they heard that he was a pokemon master, they turned him away. It was a never ending circle. He couldn't get a job without experience, and he couldn't get experience without a job. He eventually found his way to Saffron where he stayed with the ghost pokemon, eventually turning the place into a tourist attraction.

End?

*yes i know delia is a little ooc here, but wouldn't you get tired of a bum living in your house even if he was your son?
