This is my first fanfiction...oh boy! In this story Gary Oak is an entertainer, not a trainer or researcher. It's based on the anime storyline, since that's what I know best. I hope you enjoy!
…Prologue…
A young man entered the high school. He'd shown up in a beat-up old station wagon, a large striped orange dog beside him. The story was that the dog was a variation of a St Bernard, mixed with this or that wolf breed. The young man, young enough to attend the school, found the main office and he and his canine stepped in. The receptionist was on the phone.
"Yes, ma'am, your son has skipped seven classes this month…no, ma'am, that's not very good in the least…we have him here in the office…yes, that would be wonderful. Goodbye." The receptionist woman sighed exasperatedly as she hung up the phone, and then looked at the student sitting there before her. "Your mother is coming to get you." She said. The student rolled her eyes and moved to a chair further away from the desk, the young man and his gigantic dog, and the disgruntled receptionist woman.
"Can I help you?" she asked, gazing not at the person before her but his pet.
"Yes, miss, I am here for the event this evening. Entertainment, you see." He assured her.
She nodded, never removing her eyes from the animal in her presence. "Down the hall to the right, there'll be the assistant principal's office. He asked to speak to you when you arrived."
"Thank you." He said politely before heading down the hall. He found the door and knocked, and next thing the door was opened before him and he was escorted in. He sat as he was bidden, and his dog followed suit. They were joined by a man in his sixties.
"Mr. Oak." The assistant principal said.
"Yes sir." The young man replied.
"Listen very carefully to what I am about to tell you. Do not interrupt, I have to be at a meeting in a few minutes and they are some things you need to know."
Mr. Oak gave a nod in agreement.
"At this event, there will be several girls who will try to flirt with you. They will offer you phone numbers and other nonsense. You will turn them all down with the reasoning that you already are committed to someone. You, of course, are not, yet. However, they will respect you for this deed. Later in the evening, you will meet a girl whom you will be attracted to, emotionally if not physically as well. She will be the one you will accept all things from. You will learn her name when you meet her, and it will feel as though you already knew it. You will understand all this when it comes up, but it is very important that you remember it now. Understood?"
Young Mr. Oak gave another nod.
"Good. This is a prophecy; I am here to make sure it goes through. Now, you may take your beast here to the football field and practice if you wish. There is food in the teacher's lounge if you want it."
The assistant principal got up and escorted the boy out of the office. He went off back further in the office area, while young Mr. Oak headed back to the main office. The girl was still there, reading a book now. The receptionist was on the phone again. He nodded to the hassled receptionist woman, and she stared back at his dog again. He stepped outside, and began heading around the school and down the hill to the football field.
