A YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL
Hey guys, I've read a lot of high school Pokémon stories and tbh many of them are just crap. I don't disrespect anyone, but really, many authors just go around bashing characters in their stories which they don't like, which I hope is not in my stories at least. So, this is my version of a high school with AAML. So, sit back, and enjoy…
Ages-
Ash- 16 and half
Misty- 16 and half
Brock- 17 and half
May- 16
Dawn- 16
Serena- 16 and half
Iris- 17
Macy- 16
Melody- 16 and half
Drew- 17
Paul- 17
And as others will be introduced, I will list their ages.
FINDING THE PERFECT HIGH SCHOOL
The sky was a shade of light blue, with snow-white clouds soaring here and there by the force of the winds. The breeze was strong, laden with thousand of yellow-red leaves. It was autumn in Cerulean City, and people wanted to take maximum benefits of this weather before the hands of cold and snow envelopes them. The citizens were scattered here and there, some playing, some merrymaking, some performing shows, and some roaming idle. In short, they were all doing whatever they wanted as the autumn break was in full swing, not only of schools and colleges, but also of workplaces. While some students were thinking ways of getting their holiday homework done, some were middle school passed outs and were looking for high school to enter. This particular girl belonged to the second category and was currently busy with a lot of choices and a mug of hot chocolate.
"Hmm…let's see" Misty said, taking a sip of the drink. She was currently dressed in a feminine black tee and denim shorts. Her long, fiery-red hair was tousled all over her back, a result of losing her hair-tie. She was presently in front of her laptop looking over the schools which she could start from January.
NORTH HAMPTONS HIGH SCHOOL
Situated in the middle of a valley, promises to give you an enclosure on nature and various bugs plus….
"BUGS! No way am I entering this one." With another sip started the next option.
\SOUTH STARS HIGH SCHOOL
Situated in Vermillion City. Looks forward for those students interested in contests and breeding…
"Not for me." Next option.
SUNKISSED HIGH SCHOOL
Very sophisticated and elite school. The students are expected to follow discipline at all time. No questions, no answers, just learn and write.
"It's too strict" Misty pondered. "I won't be able to enjoy. Next"
WESTCHESTER COUNTRY DAY HIGH SCHOOL
Aims at providing the students the best of choices and skills. Teachers are skilled in their fields. Looks forward to battlers…..
As the others, the redhead would've rejected this one too but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. Something seemed magnetic about this one and hence she was bound to find out more about this particular school.
After two full hours of research, and her mind was made. This was an important decision, and her sisters were supporting her too. Another five minutes later, she picked up her black-colored cell phone and dialed a familiar number. After four rings someone finally picked it up.
"Hi Misty!"
"Hey, Dawn! How you doing?"
"It's been boring without you and our other friends. I missed our little adventures together..."
"Like the one sneaking into the janitor's closet behind the principal's back?"
"That was awesome, but actually I was missing the time when we made that prank call to your ex-boyfriend from the library phone- without the passes!"
"Come on, Nicole totally asked for it!"
"Okay, okay. So what's up?"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Have you started searching for high schools?"
"Yeah, I did. As a matter of fact I have made my mind on this one. What about you?"
"I finalized mine just a few minutes ago…"
"Whoa! So which is the lucky school?"
"First you tell!"
"No, I asked first!"
"So what? I am your BFF, aren't I?"
"And I am your BFF, aren't I?"
"Okay…fine! It's Westchester Country Day."
"Say that again!"
"What? Why?"
"It's MY school!"
"You're kidding!"
"No, I am serious. I finalized it a few days ago, and they have already admitted me."
"Holy Mother! Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I tried to, but that idiot Kenny broke my cell phone and I didn't have your number saved anywhere else. I just got it repaired an hour ago"
"Is Kenny really that stupid?"
"Well, maybe, but his sweetness and caring nature more than makes up for it."
"Anyways, I'm so glad we are going to high school together too!"
"You said it, girl! This year too we're gonna rock it"
"BTW have you researched for any other people we might know who are also joining WCD?"
"Uh…as a matter of fact I have, but in don't think you are gonna like it misty…"
"Whatever, I can't run from it. Tell…"
"Okay, first is that Serena Thornton…"
"That manipulator bitch! She was the one who had tried to degrade me before Crasher Wake in that function."
"I know, but Mr. Wake knew you weren't involved in hurting his Gyarados, so what does it matter? Let that evil witch do whatever she wants."
"Yeah, I was fortunate that the whole clipping was recorded by the camera or I could've landed in serious trouble."
"But you didn't and that's what matters. Sometimes, I wish she could've been nicer, but I guess people don't change"
"Yeah, but she better hold on to her pointy little hat if she comes pouncing upon me again…"
"Calm down, she's not worth thinking of. Anyways, next are her biggest hanger-on's"
"Lemme guess, is it Melody and Macy?"
"BINGO! And you win 500 dollars for answering this question correctly"
"I bet you don't have that much money!"
"Correct again. So, next is…May Maple"
"That's awesome. Remember how we three used to hang around perfectly?"
"Yeah, the whole school used to call us 'The Thrilling Trio' "
"Sometimes in wonder how easily and quickly she blended in our little group…"
"Yep, she's a real nice girl. The next is Drew Hayden"
"May's crush?"
"Yeah. She says he might be arrogant sometimes, but his heart is in the right place"
"That's good. Who's next?"
"Paul Smith"
"The guy with cold eyes and who doesn't speak much except bare essentials?"
"Yeah, sometimes I wish he would say more, but I guess it's better for people to shut up rather than say something nasty"
"You're right girl-friend. Who's next?"
"Wait….ooh, there's Brock too!"
"Wow! That's good, but he shouldn't be here…"
"What do you mean, Misty?"
"This school is meant for battlers, right? The latest I heard from Schoolfeed is that he is now aspiring for a Pokémon doctor"
"True. I don't know why he opted for WCD then. But I guess he is in for medical scholarship. Some Nurse Joy recommended him."
"That can be the reason. Anyway, is there anyone else?"
"There are a couple of new admissions. First is Iris."
"Oh, I know her. I bumped into her by accident in the Vileplume Park the other day. She seemed nice to me. Oh, and she loves Dragon Pokémon."
"She seems cool then. And the other one is Ash Ketchum"
"I've never heard about him. Is he new in Kanto?"
"Nope. According to his reports, he is from Pallet Town. It is pretty remote and quiet."
"Wish I lived in one of these places. The noise here in Cerulean sometimes is deafening."
"Oh, that's oka-Whoa, Piplup! Stop jumping on me! Ow!"
"What's up?"
"Piplup says hi. Whoa! Clam down! - pipluup pipluup pip lup pipippiplup"
"Hey there buddy! How ya doing?"
"Pipiipiplup! Pip lup- piplup! It's not nice to disturb someone while she's on phone. Understand?"
"Wow, the little buddy seems real excited, huh?"
"Yeah, he's missing Azurill very much. But he can't meet him, so he's misbehaving lately"
"Oh…wait! How about you and Piplup visit over to the Gym now for night stay, Dawn? Azurill will get a chance to meet piplup too."
"That sounds like a great idea, Misty. Okay, see you in 30 minutes."
"Will be waiting for ya! Bye"
"Bye!- Pipiplupluppp!"
As she disconnected the call, a smile was dancing upon Misty's lips. When you've been busy searching your next destination for a whole week, a call from your best friend is all you need to get your spirits up again. She and Dawn had gotten a chance to be very close when they had studied in the middle school together, and in a few months, they had become best friends. One could hardly imagine two more different girls, but they gotten along much more better than the most synced pair. "Well, no time for brooding now, gotta get ready for late night party."
As she was choosing the best songs to play on full volume in the interiors of the Gym, her mind and heart were shouting the same thing. 'This year is gonna be a lot different and difficult than you can ever imagine'
END OF INTRODUCTION
A/N: This was just an introduction, because I believe that without proper introduction, the readers are unable to get the gist of the whole story, and it doesn't make sense. This story doesn't revolve much around Ash, it revolves around Misty. I wanted to show a glance of a mind of a girl in high school and I hope I do it correctly.
I know this is not very good, but all I ask is a little support from your side. PLEASE REVIEW
THANKS GUYS. LOVE YOU ALL. TILL THE NEXT TIME…..
