My first fanfic so go easy on me, the pairings will include AshxMisty, DrewxMay, hopefully PaulxDawn. My English isn't too good either so you can find some wrong grammars in here.


CHAPTER 1

Wake-Up Call

"HOOT! HOOT!"

I suddenly heard a loud, but annoying noise, my eyes were still shut tight and I can feel that I'm lying in a bed of flowers, it was soft and comfortable, as the pleasant scent soothed my entire body, prompting me to relax a bit more, so I decided to ignore the noise.

"HOOT! HOOT!"

There it is again! That annoying noise, okay calm down, calm down, if I ignore it long enough maybe it will disappear, having thought of that, and took a deep breath, I continued to relax.

"HOOT! HOOT! HOOT! HOOT! HOOT!"

What the hell, not only did the noise became louder, but it is beginning to drive me insane, my body is becoming agitated and I can feel my sweat dripping from my entire body. Okay, if I hear that annoying noise one more time, I will- "HEY! WAKE UP ALREADY!" What the, a female voice? Now where did that come from? I tried to open my eyes but I can't seem to do so, even my body couldn't move either.

"IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP SOON, YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU!"

Suddenly, my whole body jerked by that powerful and scary voice as memories began to flood in my head, making me remember when somebody pulled my feet and dragged me from my bed while I was having a peaceful nap, and crushed my body with a powerful hug out of nowhere. "OKAY, I'M UP ALREADY!" I suddenly said, my anger before quickly turned to fear as the frightened voice made me sweat even more.

"HURRY UP AND GET CHANGED! YOU DON'T WANT TO BE LATE FOR THE ENROLLMENTS!"

I was relieved since she wasn't threatening me anymore, but what did she say again? Enrollments? Wait, I remember now! That's why I couldn't sleep much, I was thinking about that the entire time, I can still recall what me and my friends had promised to one another.

FLASHBACK

It was Graduation Day, as every student was very excited to have completed their high school year, everyone wore a black toga, along with a weird looking hat. We could see our parents in their respective 

seats applauding while the others, mostly mothers were weeping. As each of us got our diplomas, we all congratulated each one of us for making it this far and happily shook hands. As for me and my friends, we made a promise to one another before we all left,

"Hey, all of us will enroll at Alkia University, right? Just like we planned before!"

"Yeah! So we can still hang out with each other!" A girl said.

"Not only that, my Grandpa works there too!" A Boy said.

"Not only its one of the best universities around the world, it gives the best education and low tuition fees! My parents were thrilled when I showed her their flyers." All of us laughed,

"But too bad, he had to transfer to another school. " Another girl said.

"Strange, I could remember an incident that happened about a year ago but couldn't remember the details, but when that happened, he never came back to school, did he?" A boy said.

"Now that you think of it, you're right." Another boy said. Everyone became silent for a while.

"Oh well, let's just hope we can see him next time." I broke the silence, hoping it would cheer them up.

"Yeah!" Everyone said.

And before we dispersed, I extended my hand with my palms facing downwards and said, "All of us will enroll at Alkia University, promise?" Everyone smiled and chuckled as they put their hands on top of mine, "Yeah, it's a promise!" They all shouted. After our last laugh at the last day of High School, we all said goodbye and returned to our parents who all hugged, congratulated and drove us back home.

END OF FLASHBACK

That was a special day, and I didn't forget that promise that all of us made, strange, now I suddenly remember him, we only got to know him for a short while, even if he doesn't talk much, we still made friends with him, then the incident came, although I don't know really happened, but he suddenly never came to school anymore. But enough of that, I really need to wake up, after gathering enough power, I tried to open my eyes. They slowly opened, everything became white.

I woke up from a dream, I found myself lying in my bed, as I looked at my blanket which covered every part except for my head, I can see yellow colored creatures called Pokémon which were used as designs for my blanket, the Pokémons were identically the same, all of them had two large pointy ears with its tips colored black, it had round, dark brown eyes, a small nose, a mouth and its cheeks were round and colored red, its hands were short but large and its standing on its legs, and its tail is shaped like a cartoon thunderbolt.

"Pikachu"



I mumbled to myself, chuckling after saying that, Pikachu is my favorite pokemon, that's why I begged my mother to buy this blanket for me. I leapt out from my bed, feeling energized and did a few stretching exercises. Afterwards, I went to my mirror and stared to myself, I could see my black hair completely standing, but I simply fixed it with my own hands and made it the same hairdo I usually have.

"HOOT! HOOT! HOOT! HOOT! HOOT! HOOT!"

As soon as I heard that noise, I quickly remembered that it was the same noise that interrupted me when I was having a nice relaxation. I quickly turned around to see where the noise was coming from, only to realize it was only my HootHoot Alarm Clock, I quickly turned it off by tapping the switch on its head. My mother bought this clock especially for my habit in destroying the previous alarm clocks she had bought before.

But this clock is really different than before, unlike from those other alarm clocks before that were made in plastic, this one is made of good-quality metal especially made for any kind of "accidents" it had to go through, like being thrown around, getting mercilessly hammered by any blunt objects like baseball bats, etc. My mother had enough of me having to destroy those alarm clocks she bought, now this thing is practically indestructible, it even had a feature if the impact it had made when it lands was powerful enough, the ringing will increase tenfold, which can wake everyone within a few miles.

I quickly changed. I wore a hat, with a half – poke ball colored green at its front to cover my messed-up do. A white t-shirt and a black vest with a yellow V-pattern on the chest part to top it off. My favorite navy-blue baggy jeans and my sneakers. I was content with what I wore, who cares about fashion anyway? I grabbed my luggage where I've put my clothes, and other gear, I opened it and checked if I have everything prepared, shirts, underwear, pants, socks, other sanitary equipment, etc. I could still remember what my mother told me to bring:

"Bring your toothbrush and toothpaste and don't forget to brush."

"Make sure you brought your underwear with you and don't forget to change them every day."

"Here's your shampoo and soap and make sure you use them while you're taking a bath, sweetie."

And that's only a few of these things she had said to me. Mothers this days, sheesh. I closed my luggage, carried it with my two hands as it was heavy all right and proceeded downstairs to meet my mom who was preparing breakfast at the kitchen.

"Good morning, Ash! Put your luggage by the door and eat your breakfast, and make sure you eat plenty."

"Sure thing, mom" I happily replied as I quickly sat down, I stared at the food, it was bacon and eggs. The aroma entered my nostrils and it made me drool, as I wiped the saliva from my mouth, I began to eat quickly, my mother Delia smiled, happy to see his son to be growing to be a fine, young man.

"If you want to, you can have seconds, Ash." She happily said as she went through the front door,



"When you need me, I'll be at my garden as always." Ash looked at het with food still in his mouth, he couldn't speak so he nodded instead, she smiled as she opened the door. She quickly but quietly put an envelope in his luggage, and proceeded outside.

Oh Ash, you're so forgetful, but oh well, that's what mothers are for. She happily thought as she took her straw hat, and water can with her.

"Pika, Pikachu!"

Ash quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, but since the food was not yet chewed completely, he began to choke. Pikachu quickly saw his master in trouble and quickly used a Thunderbolt attack on him, as electricity drove into his body, inflicting pain on every part, but he was able to swallow the food completely. After a sigh of relief, Ash was alright as Pikachu jumped to his master's arms and embraced him.

"Pika, pika?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks Pikachu, you saved me."

Ash hugged his yellow rodent pokemon tightly but lovingly, as Pikachu cooed in his arms, happy to be praised by his master. Ash released the hug while Pikachu leapt to his shoulders, as he stared at his partially burnt clothes, but didn't mind as he sat down and continued to eat what's left in his plate, he could have seconds if he wanted to, but the electrifying moment he had made him lose his appetite. After finishing his plate, he placed them at the sink, while Pikachu finished emptying the ketchup bottle with his mouth and started licking his hands, Ash smiled at his Pikachu on how it cute was.

"Are you ready to go, Pikachu?" He called; Pikachu quickly placed the empty ketchup bottle on the table and leapt to his shoulders, and raised one of his arms to the skies.

"Pikachu!" He was raring to go, and Ash too. He stared at the wallclock and his eyes widened,

"Oh my god, its already 7 : 46, the ferry to Alkia University leaves at 8 : 00!" He screamed as he darted outside with his luggage with him. Pikachu ran alongside him, also fearing that he might not make it in time.

"Bye, Mom I'll miss you!" As he waved to his mother for only a short while since the load of the luggage was too much on only one arm. Delia heard this and smiled at him.

"Bye Ash, I'll love you! Don't forget to brush okay?" She shouted, as Ash sweatdropped when he heard his mom clearly as she continued her gardening.

--

Ash quickly went to the ferry and was relieved that there were only 3 minutes left till the ferry leaves port. As the guard asked him for his ferry ticket, realization struck him; he completely forgot the very important thing he needs to bring with him that can allow him to enter Alkia University, he reached for his pockets, but came up empty handed. The guard noticed this and sighed,

"Look kid, if you don't have the ferry ticket to Alkia, I can't let you in." The guard said which only made him more nervous than before. He checked everything that were on his clothes, but no ferry ticket. But there was one last thing he had not checked, and that was his luggage.

But Ash doubted that since the last time he had checked, there were no papers in his luggage, but still he opened his luggage while his face was sweating tremendously as he made the biggest mistake he had made in his life. He slowly opened his luggage while imagining the worst sermons her mother will say to him, but his eyes widened as he saw an envelope containing papers, he quickly scanned each of it and to his surprise, his ticket to Alkia was there.

"Yahoo!" He shouted while hugging Pikachu in his arms.

"Oh thank you, Mom, thank you!" He kissed the ticket for about ten times before showing it to the Guard who was somehow disgusted as he saw saliva kiss marks all over the ticket but quickly regained his composure.

"Hmph, get in kid, we're about to leave. You should be extremely lucky that mother wasn't as forgetful as you are."

Ash could only chuckle as he heard that, he is really lucky to have a mother like that. Pikachu leapt to his shoulder while he struggled carrying his heavy luggage to the stairs to the ferry. Another good thing that happened to him that there is still one room available for him to stay for the whole day trip to Alkia University, but the only problem is that the room is at the 3rd floor of the ship, but it was worth it.


After 10 minutes of climbing the stairs and resting every 5 successful steps, he had reached the 3rd floor. Wiping the sweat from his face, he proceeded to look for his room.

"Room 312, Room 312, Room 312." He stared at the number on the key given to him and mumbled to himself over and over again as Pikachu walked alongside him with his head down sighing as Ash strolled along the rooms looking for the room with 312 imprinted on it. Pikachu had been trying to get Ash to look at the ship's map he found hanging by a wall for anyone who were lost, but to no avail. The search took almost forever.

"Oh, here it is, Room 312, finally." He entered the room and placed his luggage beside the door, and leaped towards the bed, while Pikachu jumped to the pillow and curled himself and made himself comfortable. He stared at the clock on the endtable beside the bed and talked to Pikachu.

"It's 8:25 and we're already tired, right buddy?"

"Pika, pika." He replied to his trainer.



Suddenly, a voice which came out of nowhere that startled Ash and Pikachu as they looked around the room where the voice came from.

"This is the S.S Chatot, our destination will be Alkia University. This will be a whole day trip, so please feel free to use our service and facilities to your heart's content, I hope you can enjoy your stay here, and have a good day."

Ash and Pikachu stared at the speaker that was placed on top of the door which they finally found, but instead of going out and trying what kind of services they have in store for them; he lied down on his back with both of his hands at the back of his head as he stared at the ceiling.

"After this nap…" Ash yawned, "Then we can explore the ship, right buddy?" Pikachu nodded and also proceeded to sleep. Ash slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

To be continued…


This chapter only showed Ash, Pikachu, and his mother. But don't worry as I will introduce the rest of the characters in the next few chapters. So read and review.
