Hey everyone! Thanks for reading and I just came up with this story and I hope you all enjoy it and it meets your expectations! And my other story about May being a ranger is not going to be discontinued, but it is on a long hiatus, but it shall be updated someday! Meanwhile, I'm going to be focusing on this story. I would also like to say, that this story takes place at May, Dawn, Leaf, Misty, Drew, Paul, Gary, and Ash's boarding school in the summer before senior year, on a six region tour from their school in Lumiose City, Kalos. Enjoy!

"Dawn! Leaf! Misty! Ready to go? I'm so excited! A two month, six region tour? Amazing! Before this, we were barely let out to roam Lumiose City! Now, we're taking a bus to Coumarine City and a boat to Vermillion City, KANTO! And touring all of Kanto, then to Johto, and Hoenn, oh maybe I'll be able to see my family in Petalburg again! And Sinnoh, Unova, and finally, the rest of Kalos! This is going to be so awesome!" May sighed excitedly and happily at the same time. She walked with her friends, Leaf, Dawn, and Misty, along with their luggage for the two month tour of the six major regions.

Leaf smiled. Everyone was wearing their traveling clothes. Leaf wore a blue tank top with a red skirt along with leg warmers rolled down to her ankles. Leaf had a yellow messenger bag and a white hat with red lines. She looked extremely nervous with wearing the skirt. "Um Dawn, why is the skirt this short?" Leaf asked, her voice a bit shaky.

"Oh relax Leaf! You look fine! Honestly, it's not that short! You look very pretty though!" Dawn smiled happily while skipping aside with her two pink luggage. Dawn was wearing a black, jagged ended tank top with a white under top and pink skirt. She wore black knee high socks and pink boots. Her midnight blue hair was covered on top with a white, accented pink hat and a red scarf and carried a yellow, mini duffle bag.

"Dawn, are you sure about this top?" Misty frowned, looking at herself. Her hair did not possess a hat and was in a side ponytail and a yellow midriff top with red suspenders, connecting with her jean shorts and high tops. She carried a red knapsack on her back.

"Why is everyone doubting Dawn? Besides, Serena also made sure that we brought loads of extra clothes with us! Skinny jeans, tops, shoes, boots, Serena had it all! It's so sad she can't come! She's just staying in Vanville with Shauna and her boyfriend, Calem!" May pipped happily, sighing at Serena and her little love life. May wore a red t-shirt with a black collar and blue biker shorts. On her brown hair was a red and white bandana and a small yellow bag that settled on the side of her hip along with white gloves with blue linings.

"Exactly! See, May agrees with me!" Dawn smiled, completely satisfied. "Oh! There's the bus! It's so big!" Dawn ran up to the white double-decker bus and marveled at its size. Misty rolled her eyes and followed.

"Oh yay! Let's get on the bus now!" May squealed happily and handed her red luggage over to the attendant. "Thanks!" May smiled to the attendant and skipped onto the bus. "I'll get seats next to each other!" she announced before completely walking in.

"Awesome! I'm coming too!" Dawn perked and mimicked May's actions and went into the bus.

"I hope it's on the second deck!" Leaf jumped with Misty and they both put their luggage into the luggage compartment of the bus. Misty and Leaf both went onto the bus and climbed up to the second floor.

"This looks really great!" Misty grinned, looking out of the window. Dawn and May were already sitting in front of the bus. Misty and Leaf sat next to the seats next to them.

"Where are we going to sit?" a voice asked from the stair case. The voice belonged to a green-haired boy, Drew Hayden, the most popular boy at school. He was talking to his friends, Gary Oak (the flirty brunet playboy), Ash Ketchum (the adorable raven haired dimwit), and Paul Shinji (the distant plum haired "iceberg"), of course, also extremely popular.

"The back. Obviously," Gary smirked and walked over to the place he mentioned. The girls he walked by suddenly swooned and giggled. Drew flipped his hair and sat down. Ash ignored the girls and happily sat down and opened a bag of chips. Paul rolled his eyes and sat next to a window, putting in music while girls silently observed him, not daring to get closer.

"Oh! It's Drew all of the other boys! Wait, why don't we play something! It's an hour or so to Coumarine City! OHHHHHHH, KISS KILL MARRY!" Dawn squealed happily while turning back to May who was sitting next to her.

"What's that?" Leaf asked, confused completely. She gave a curious look at Dawn, having never played that game before. Leaf turned to face May.

"It's loads of fun! Oh, so we give a list of three boys, one you kill, the other you kiss, and the one you can marry! This game is so much fun!" May grinned happily. She looked at Misty and said, "Misty! Let me give you a kiss kill marry!" May smiled evilly. Misty gulped but kept her cool. "Ummmmmm... Rudy, Ash, and Barry!"

"Oh, well Barry is quite annoying to me so kill him, no offense Dawn, I know you're friends. Kiss maybe Rudy and I guess marry Ash," Misty shrugged.

"Looks like you fancy Ash huh?" Dawn stuck her tongue out playfully. Misty gained a sudden anger mark and started blushing madly.

"Oh Dawn Berlitz! I am so going to kill you!" Misty growled angrily and pulled her signature mallet out of nowhere. Dawn gave a scared squeak. and Leaf rolled her eyes as if saying, 'here we go again' when Misty's mallet made contact with Dawn.

"Don't say you didn't see that one coming!" Leaf smirked and began laughing so hard. May grinned and began laughing too. Dawn gave an angry huff and flushed. Misty gave a defiant expression and opened her mouth with a confident smirk.

"Yes, okay Misty, Leaf, May! I say that one coming!" Dawn sighed with a puff and crossed her arms and sunk into her chair.

"This is gonna be so much fun!" Leaf squealed uncharacteristically and brought out her iPod and started blasting her music and singing along with Misty, Dawn, and May.


"We're here!" Ash smiled happily and hopped off of the bus. He seemed extremely peppy for some random reason. Ash quickly ran out and stretched, looking out at the Coumarine city subway station.

Gary, Paul, and Drew ran out to catch up with Ash, only to find him completely crestfallen. "Jeez Ash. It's like someone told you that all the bacon in the world was gone," Gary put his hands behind his head thoughtfully after they caught up with Ash.

"Wha?! Bacon?!" Ash exclaimed, completely startled at the thought of there being no bacon. "Oh it was a simile, or was it a metaphor? Anyways, I was just told that on our seven hour ride to Vermillion City, we only have to eat the 'necessary' meals so no snacks or anything!" Ash whined, upset. He emphasized his sadness by slumping down.

"Then go an buy something from the subway station," Drew rolled his eyes, standing next to Gary. Drew flipped his hair and gave Ash a 'duh' look.

"Oh yeah! Wah! The train's gonna leave in a minute!" Ash yipped and ran straight to the convenience store. Gary had a stupefied look on his face while Paul shook his head at Ash's idioticness. Drew rubbed his templese.

"I need to go! I just heard there aren't going to be any snacks on the boat ride!" May wailed from the bus and sprinted to get stuff from the convenience store. Dawn, Leaf, and Misty followed behind to get a bag of chips and candy with an iced tea.

"What was that all about?" Paul asked, looking at the girls. Gary gave a shrug.

"I for one have no idea," Drew sighed and flipped his hair. The boys looked at the convenience store in awe, where Dawn, Misty, Leaf, May, and Ash ran into, five seconds ago.


"Hurry up May! We'll meet you at the station!" Leaf called, stuffing her snacks into her yellow messenger bag while running. Dawn was doing the same while Misty was swinging her knapsack onto her back.

"Okay! So, that's my noodles? Perfect!" May grinned while paying for her instant noodles, Sprite, iced tea, chips, candy, and gum and put them into a plastic bag.

"Oh wow! That looks good! I'll have the same things as her!" Ash smiled and pulled out all of the things that May had. He happily pulled out his money and followed May's actions. He smiled happily to himself, as if he had just won an award.

"You like those stuff too?! Awesome! My friends think I eat too much!" May confessed while taking her bag and walking to the station. Ash followed with his food with the same goofy grin on his face.

"My friends think I eat way too much too!" Ash agreed. They both smiled and walked over to the train station, babbling on and on about food and their favorite foods and type of ramen the whole entire way around.

"Ready to go? I think the train's leaving school," May said, looking down at her phone which displayed the time.

"We need to go! Drew said that we needed to leave soon!" Ash said, beginning to run.

"Leaf said the same thing!" May wailed and they both sprinted to the Coumarine City Tram Station.

"May!" Leaf shouted when Ash and May both ran into the closing tram. "Oh my God, where were you?! And where did you see Ash?" Leaf asked. Dawn perked up and gave a look to May. Misty looked at Ash and then May. Dawn gave Misty a nudge and Misty gained an anger mark, but kept her cool.

"Um hi?" Ash asked, completely confused with everything. "So I didn't actually catch anyone's name so who are you people? I know Misty though! Oh, and I'm Ash!" Ash grinned while he introduced himself. Dawn smirked at this but Misty wasn't paying attention to Dawn.

"Hi Ash! We have PE together, right? Well this is Dawn, May, and Leaf. Ash, the dense one, right?" Misty smirked while looking at Ash.

"Hey! I'm not dense!" Ash protested with a whining tone. The tram door opened from the connecting caraigges. Gary, Paul, and Drew all walked in rolling their eyes at Ash's comment.

"Yes, you are Ash," Paul snorted. Dawn looked in awe that the popular kids were all around her. She gave a small smile to Paul. Picking the smile up, May gave Dawn a wink. Dawn blushed.

"Whatever! But I got my food!" Ash concluded happily. Drew flicked his hair, Paul was showing a pissed off look, while Gary face palmed for the third time that day. Misty rolled her eyes, May glanced at her food, Leaf brought a book out of her bag, and Dawn was whispering to May.

"Hi! You know, it's kind of rude to not introduce yourselves," Dawn mock scolded the boys. She had a peppy smile which greatly annoyed Paul. Gary shot a wink at Leaf who was not paying attention. "And definitely rude to hit on my best friend," Dawn frowned while looking at Gary. Gary ran his fingers through his auburn hair and ignored her.

"Oh sorry Dawn! This is Paul, Drew, and Gary! My best friends!" Ash introduced them.

Dawn gave a small smile and said, "Ash, we did know who they were, you are the most popular boys in school after all. We were just being sarcastic." Dawn smiled sheepishly.

Ash opened his mouth but Paul interrupted, "And you call us rude for not introducing ourselves. Who are you little miss sunshine?"

"That was rude you know! Anyways, I'm Dawn, that's May, Misty, and Leaf," Dawn answered Paul. Paul looked at her friends. Misty was fidgeting with her knapsack, Leaf was shrugging off Gary, and May and Ash had began talking about food again.

"Come on guys, the train stopped," Drew said and walked out of the train. Paul and Ash followed while Gary shot Leaf another wink.

"Wow! I can't believe we just met the most popular guys at school!" Dawn squealed happily.

"Oh, Ash was really cool though! But I think we're going to run out of food soon. I still can't believe he likes beef ramen versus chicken ramen!" May frowned and crossed her arms and they were walking out of the train.

"I barely read anything! You guys know that this is my favorite book after all. And even if I know what's going to happen next, I still and upset because of that stupid playboy interrupting me!" Leaf scowled angrily and placed a bookmark in her page. She then put the book into her messenger bag gingerly.

"What is with you and 'The Lord of the Rings'?" Misty asked, showing her distaste for books. "I'd rather do sports and swimming."

"Number one, don't insult 'The Lord of the Rings'. Number 2, it's Christopher Paolini's 'Inheritance' not J.R.R Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings', but I do have them in my luggage," Leaf trailed off, thinking about what books she brought on her trip.

"Why don't we just stop talking about this and have a good topic, like food!" May suggested, butting into their conversation.

"No!" Misty, Leaf, and Dawn yelled in perfect sync.

"Okie!" May sweatdropped and opened her phone to play Flappy Birds. It was suddenly, awkwardly silent.


"Hey Leaf, April, Dawn, Misty," Drew walked by and sat next to them. May looked up from Flappy Birds and glared at Drew. "What? April?" Drew teased May.

"Drew! You know it's May! Grasshead!" May whined, suddenly smirking when she said grasshead.

"Airhead," Drew rolled his eyes.

"At least my hair's not a messed up garden experiment!" May retorted.

"I'm sorry, April, I didn't know that you could even come up with a theory! Makes sense since it's not true," Drew began to smirk. Paul, Gary, and Ash arrived, and began watching the argument go back and forth with Dawn, Leaf, and Misty.

Meanwhile, Dawn muttered, "Check it out! The iceberg."

Paul heard her and growled, "Troublesome," purposely loud enough for Dawn to hear.

"I heard that!" Dawn snapped defensively.

"You were meant to," Paul shrugged.

"Okay! That's it!" Dawn snarled and went up to Paul and petty slapped him. Paul began to smirk. Gary couldn't help but smile at the two's action. Paul and Dawn suddenly stopped, wondering why they felt a spark when they touched. Dawn blushed and gave a sheepish smile. She then walked back to Leaf and Misty.

"That was it wasn't it?" Gary asked unexpectedly. Paul gave a shrug and ignored him. Gary rolled his eyes and sighed at Paul.

Back with May and Drew, "Arrogant grasshead!" May growled and stepped closer to Drew. Drew mimicked May and they were both head to head without realizing it. Their gazes were so intense, it looked like sapphires and emeralds were clashing. "Hmph!" May finally grumbled and stormed off to the other direction. Drew rolled his eyes and walked over to Gary and Paul.

"Well that was certainly the most interesting five minutes of the trip so far," Gary reclined on his chair. Paul grunted and Drew grumbled.

"Hey where did Ash go?" Drew wondered, only to be knocked over by a running Ash being chased by Misty.

"Wah! All I said was that food is better than swimming!" Ash protested while Misty held her mallet out in front of her. They were both running, but Misty was catching up.

"Hmph! Idiot! Swimming is better than food!" Misty smirked defiantly as she successfully hit Ash on the head.

"Okay..." Ash trailed off, rubbing his head after being hit. "Guys, don't we need to be going? We have about one minute," Ash looked at his phone and looked back up innocently. The girls looked up wildly and began to collect their things and run. "Dock number 6!" Ash got his stuff and the guys began to run.


"We're good everyone!" Dawn sighed, completely relieved. She checked her belongings. The guys and girls boarded the boat and sat down.

"Hi everyone! Welcome to Royal Coumarine! Your ticket got you in here, so no ticket inspection will be collected here since it is a relatively short ride! Say goodbye to the Kalos region and we are now headed to Slateport City, Hoenn!" the speaker shut off.

Gary, who was drinking Sprite at the time, spit it back up and started hacking and coughing. "Ash, why the freaking HELL did that lady say fucking SLATEPORT CITY?!" Gary snapped wildly as the boat began to move.

Ash glanced at the ticket and sweat dropped. "Um, I read it upside down!" Ash smiled innocently again. Everyone anime fell.

"This means that we're going to be stuck with you guys!" everyone except Ash screamed in horror.

"Oh this is going to be a lovely journey," Paul sighed and sat back into his chair.
