Author note: This has nothing to do with my kidnapped story. In this world ash never went to Isshu or what ever the new region is called.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or any of the characters.
My name is Ashton Jackson Ketchum. I am married to my lovely wife Misty and have my two kids name Kris and Kira. They are six year old twins and my pride and joy. We live in Pallet town. Misty sister have take over the gym since we gotten married. They not happy about but who care about them. Don't tell Misty I said that. I work at Pallet Elementary school and Misty work at a flower shop run by my mother.
It has been ten year since I had travel or train with pokémon. I was eighteen when I went back to school. I decide to become a teacher so that I could past on the knowledge that I had learned on my journey. It took few years to get my teaching license. When I got it there was an opening to teach fifth grade and I took it.
It was hard at first; none of my new colleague wanted anything to do with me. I was young, energetic and could wait to start to teach my new class. My first week was the worst days of my life, that include fight all the stupid teams at once. No one would listen to me, there were some boys that would backtalk me, girl were drooling over a picture of the new league champion and worst of all I had start to have second thought about teaching.
Once that week was over, I when home and thought about how to get my class under control. Then it struck me when I look over at Pikachu who was a sleep in his basket next to the fireplace. I walk over to him and shook him awake.
"Hey bud, how would you like to come to class with me?"
"Pika pikachu." He exclaimed and nodded.
"Great, I better call my boss and tell her that I am bringing you to school with me on Monday." I got up and walk over to the phone and dial my boss's number. My boss name was Jade Wolfheart.
"Hallo, this Jade speaking"
"Hallo, this is Ash Ketchum; I am the new Fifth grade teacher."
"Oh, Mr. Ketchum, how was your first week as a teacher?"
"It didn't go as great as I want it to."
"Sorry to hear that. Why are you calling me?"
"I want to know if I can bring in my Pikachu in on Monday."
"Why would you want to do that?"
"I think it would help the kids. If they learn about pokémon in a book they will get bored and hate the class but if they learn from the book and interact with pokémon, they would enjoy the class more and learn more too. Book facts are okay but learning through experience is a whole lot better." There was a brief silence, I bit my lip in hope that she said yes.
"I think that is a great idea, Mr. Ketchum but Pikachu has to be on his best behavior."
"Yes he is a very docile pokémon, thank you. See you on Monday." She hung. I jump into the air and whoop. The door open and Misty and my kids walk in. I walk up to her and kiss her on the cheek. I scoop up my kids and gave them a big bear hug.
"Misty, I'll make dinner tonight" In the corner of my eye I could see my kids with relief on their faces. Misty cooking had not improved at all but she tries her best. I made tacos that night, it is the family favorite.
Monday arrived; all my students were in their desk wait to hand in the homework that I had assigned. It would an easy homework assignment, I ask them to write down a list of their ten favorite pokémon. I walk into class with Pikachu on my shoulder. I stride over to my deck and put my briefcase down on it. Pikachu jump off my shoulder and on to my messy desk.
"Okay class, before we began today lesson, I like you to meet my best friend in the world beside my wife." That got a few of my student to giggle.
"Can anyone tell me what kind pokémon he is?" A girl in the front row raises her hand. Look at my seating chart to see what her name was, it was May Anderson.
"Yes, May"
"He is a Pikachu, Mr. Ketchum."
"That is correct." A boy hand shot into the air. His name was Drew Miller.
"Yes, Drew?"
"I thought that the starter pokémon of Kanto was a Charmander, a Squirtle or a Bulbasaur."
"That is correct also. There is a story on why I got Pikachu but you don't want to hear that old story; it boring." The kids start to whine that they want to hear it. So I told them the only reason I got pikachu was because I was late to get out of bed. I told them about the first night I was a trainer, how we were attack by hundred of Spearow and that I saw a mysterious pokémon that the pokedex could not name. I didn't tell them that it was Ho-Ho; I was going to save that story for another time.
I told the class that it was time to turn in the homework. That day we talk about how to care for pokémon and their needs. I let them pet pikachu during lunch break and even let them play with him during recess. I look over the list of pokémon that the student had hand in. Many of these pokémon I have seen or had caught.
From that day forward I brought in different kind of pokémon into class. I asked special guest to come by and teach class a special lesson. I ask Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, Lance, a few of my Pokémon Ranger friend and even Looker of the International Police to tell my class about the different kind of job that include pokémon. But there was one lesson that I knew that could not teach in the classroom. We studying a subject that I knew a lot about. Legendary Pokémon; I think it is time for a field trip but to where is the real question?
Author note: I sorry that I have not been work on Kidnapped but this idea keeps running through my head and would not leave. I can't decide where Ash should take his class. I going to put vote on what region they should go to and you guy get to decide. Choices are Orange islands, Sinnoh, Hoenn or Johto.
