School Daze

Chapter 1: Flashback of Freshman year

"Ash! WAKE UP!" Ash sat up quick. His mother, Deliah, was sitting there along with his chilhood friend Misty. "Misty? What are you doing here?" Misty laughed. "Don't you remember? Today is our first day of school! We're walking there together!" Ash suddenly went back to reality. "Crap! Let me get dressed really fast." Ash got dressed, Then ran out the door. "Ash sweetie!" His mother called. "You forgot Pikachu!" Ash stopped dead. "Let him out! I'll get him!" Pikachu came running right as Misty appeared behind Ash. "PIIIKAAAAACHUUUUU!" Next thing Ash knew he was being thunder-bolted. Misty laughed. Ash got up, and Pikachu jumped on his shoulder. Misty let Azurill out. "Riiiiiillllll!" Misty and Ash started walking to school. When they were almost there, Misty got bubble-beamed. "What's the big idea?" A girl with blue hair appeared. I'm so sorry! Piplup! Be more careful!" Ash took a good look at her. She was beautiful. She was so much more girly than Misty. Misty always wore a cutoff tanktop, suspenders, and shorts. The blue-haired girl wore a scarf, a pretty tanktop with a black vest, and a skirt. She wore no makeup. Ash couldn't stop staring. "Ash? HELLO?" Ash then got thunder-bolted. "PIIIIKAAAAACHUUUUUU!" Ash came back from space. "What?" Misty laughed. The blue-haired girl asked if he was alright. "Yea, I'm used to it. Pikachu does that A LOT." The blue-haired girl laughed. Suddenly, her pokeball popped open. "Buneary!" A Buneary came out. Buneary saw Pikachu, and instantly fell in love. She blushed."Buneeeaaary!" Pikachu blushed and hid in Ash's hat. Misty laughed. "Looks like Pikachu has an admirer!" The blue-haired girl laughed. "Buneary return!" The blue-haired girl introduced herself."I'm Dawn. I just moved here from the Sinnoh region." Ash shook her hand. "I'm Ash. This is Misty." Misty waved. "What town in Sinnoh? Dawn laughed. "You probably have never heard of it. It's a small town called Twinleaf." Ash thought for a second. "I've heard a little bit about it. But I'll confess. I haven't heard much." Dawn smiled. "Awesome! I just moved here." Ash smiled. " Hey we'll show you around!" Dawn smiled. "Really!" Misty nodded. "Sure!" Ash and Misty showed Dawn the way to school. Dawn thanked them, and went to her first class."I've got math, Dawn had science, and you have reading, Misty. Meet me out by the pond at lunch. Oh, and find Dawn on your way out, please." Misty nodded. "Ok, see you after class." They split ways. Ash couldn't pay attention to any word Mrs. Angela was saying. All he could think about was Dawn. "PIIIKAAAACHUUUU!" The whole class turned around. Ash was being thunder-bolted. Mrs. Angela was tapping her foot. "Ash Ketchum. Pay more attention. Pikachu, thank you." Ash blushed. "Pikachuuu!" The rest of class Ash payed half attention to Mrs. Angela. He was REALLY thankful when the lunch bell rang. He sat at a lunchtable by the huge pond outside. Soon he saw Misty and Dawn walking over. They sat down, and Dawn's hand brushed Ash's. Both of them blushed, and tried to hide it. But Misty saw it. She was kind of upset. Ever since she had moved to Viridian City and met Ash, she had fallen in love with him. "I'm gonna go get my lunch." She finally said to break the tense silence. Ash looked up. "Hey here's some cash. Can you get me mine?" Misty nodded. " Need anything Dawn?" Dawn shook her head. "I brought my lunch. Thank you though." Misty walked off, and Ash tried to make small talk with Dawn. "So, uh, what were your friends like in Twinleaf?" Dawn teared up a bit. "What's wrong Dawn?" Dawn wiped hr eyes. " My f-first friend, K-Kenny got k-killed in a c-car accident." Ash looked worried. "Oh I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have asked." Dawn shook her head. "No I'm ok." Piplup wiped her tears away with a tiny whirlpool. "Piiiplup!" Dawn looked over. "Thanks, Piplup. But yeah. My other friends were Lucas and Barry. They were nice, but were way into pokemon." Misty came over. "Here's your lunch Ash. Did I miss anything?" Ash shook his head. "Nope." Misty smiled. "Ok! Let's eat!" Two weeks later and Dawn found out that she fit in perfectly with Ash and Misty. Although she had a HUGE secret. Dawn had a huge crush on Ash. But she was absolutely sure Misty did to. She was no match for Misty. Misty and Ash had known each other for years. Dawn had known Ash for two weeks. And, Misty was beautiful, AND the icing on the cake was she had REALLY strong pokemon. Dawn was a hobo compared to her. She was ugly. And her pokemon were weak compared to Misty's. Dawn started crying thinking about it. "Dawn! Are you ok sweety?" Her mother, Johanna, had entered her room. "Yeah mom. I'm alright." Her mom still looked concerned when she left the room. "Piplup, I'm worried about Dawn. Can you make sure she's ok at school for me?" Piplup puffed out his chest. "Piiiplup!" He ended up falling at the last syllable. Johanna laughed. "Same old Piplup." Piplup used bubble-beam on her. "Piplup! Ugh, Dawn! Get Piplup! I need to dry off and get new clothes on." Dawn dried her tears. "Ok, mom. Coming." Her voice kept cracking. Johanna was really worried about her, but didn't show it. "Dawn grabbed Piplup, and took him into her room. "Oh, and sweety! Bedtime!" Dawn groaned. "Ok mom, whatever." Dawn couldn't go to sleep that night, and it REALLY showed that morning. "Are you ok Dawn?" Ash got no answer. "Piiiplup!" Dawn was now soaked from bubble-beam, but still didn't move. Misty looked over. "Ash, she's asleep. I wonder why she's so tired." Dawn fell off her seat, and woke up. "I'm awake! And soaking wet." Ash and Misty laughed. "Thanks to Piplup. Hey, I'll go get a towel from the locker room." Misty walked off, and left Dawn and Ash alone. Dawn went to follow Misty, when she tripped and fell into Ash. With their lips touching.
