Chapter One: Decisions
Ash stared at the letter in his hands; he had just been accepted to Poke School. There was a new law passed that a trainer, under the age of 15, had to attended poke school, for a term or two, before they could continue on their journey. He, Misty, May, Drew, Dawn and Paul had all send off application letters to the school and were all accepted! The reason of Poke School was to make sure all younger trainers knew what to do in certain situations and how to care for their pokemon properly; it also gave them the chance to work on their own unique style for battling or contests.
They were to arrive tomorrow afternoon so Ash was packing his backpack; he peered round his room pondering over what he was to take. His letter had a list of basic equipment and others items he was required to take. He had already packed all his clothes and toiletries, he had also packed his favourite books, drawing pad and colours and his pokeball care kit.
His mother called him downstairs for tea, where she questioned him over which pokemon he was taking with him. "You can only take three remember honey". "I know mum... but which three? I will obviously be taking Pikachu with me" His best friend jumped onto the table and stared at Ash "Pika Pi" Ash scratched his best friends head and Pikachu giggled in delight. "But who else shall I take? How about you decide Pikachu." Pikachu stared at Ash hard and pulled a funny face that looked remotely like Bulbasaur. Ash laughed and wrote Bulbasaur's name on the school form in front of him. It instructed him to write down the names of the pokemon he was taking and all their move levels and stats.
"ok... ummmmm I think I might take Infernape as he's my strongest fire type I've got at the moment and the strongest too. I'll go see professor Oak now and pick them up and grab a bag of poke food on the way."
After returning from Professor Oak's laboratory Ash had packed his backpack, with Bulbasaur and Infernape safely inside their newly polished pokeballs. Pikachu sat on his bunk bed scratching his ear, watching Ash type an email on his computer to Misty, May, Drew, Dawn and Paul.
"Heya guys" it read "wat pokemon are you taking to Poke skol? I've got Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Infernape all ready,
From Ash"
Almost instantly he received answers back from his friends
He read Misty's first,
"heya Ash, can't wait to see you 2moz I'm taking Azurill, Corsola and Starmie love Misty x"
He closed the message and turned to the others,
May was taking Glaceon, Wartortle and Munchlax.
Drew was taking Roserade, Flygon andAbsol.
Dawn was taking Piplup, Togekiss and Buneary
And Paul was taking powerhouses Frosslass, Torterra and Electrivire.
"Woh" Ash thought "thank god I picked my team right. I'll beat Misty with Pikachu, May shouldn't be hard and Dawn will be easy apart from Togekiss but Paul and Drew will be hard to beat. But I'll never give up till the end"
Ash sat on her floor rechecking his letter to make sure he had everything, Ash looked up at his Pidgey Pokeball clock and it read it was already 10:30pm! Ash closed his pc down and switched it off at the switch as he won't be here to use it when he leaves tomorrow. He shrugged on his pokeball pyjamas and climbed into his bed where Pikachu was already curled up asleep.
What will happen now? Will Ash make it safely to poke school? Will he get enough points to pass, so he can continue with his journey? Read on to see :D
