Chapter 2

my update took longer than planned, but who cares.

STORY TIME!

DAWN'S POV

I really love flying, though the first time I tried I almost screamed my head off. I giggled to myself, I was afraid of something this amazing, good thing I learned to love it, flying makes me feel free, with all the missions that we get we really need to relax more.

"Hey, Dawn. Are you okay?" Misty's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned my head to look at her, her Mantine was rather larger in size than normal Mantines so she had no problem riding it.

"Yeah," I replied, "why do you ask?"

"You spaced out a bit there. What were you thinking about?"

"It was nothing. No need to worry!"

"That's when we worry the most, you know."

"Look!" we turned our heads towards Leaf's voice. She was flying on her Wigglytuff at first I didn't believe her when she told me she can fly on her Wigglytuff, but she proved me wrong. "There's the school!" she sounded really excited, and I can see why. May woke up to Leaf's screaming. When she saw the school she did a double-take.

"Wow." Misty and I breathed out.

The school is AMAZING.

"Cynthia said that Richard Hayden will meet us at the school's entrance," Leaf announced, "let's land, I think I can see him already."

"I just messaged Cynthia and told her we're here." Misty said, "She said Richard Hayden has our pictures so he can identify us."

Leaf nodded and slowly, her Wigglytuff landed. She returned her pokemon and ran towards the gates.

We followed her lead. This is the first time for all of us to go to a school and just do normal thing, not worrying about the world ending or evil villains. I was pretty excited.

AT THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE…

PAUL'S POV

"What's taking him so long?" Ash complained. It was getting pretty annoying.

"Ash, will you just shut up for just 1 freakin' minute?!" I snapped at him and glared. He may be my friend but he was getting on my nerve. Though he was right though, where is he?

Drew was on his phone playing 'Flappy Pidgey'. Gary was listening to music and I was stuck babysitting Ash, can this day get anymore worse?

Then the door opened and in walked Mr. Hayden, a.k.a. Drew's dad, along with 4 other girls, 2 brunettes, a red-head and a blunette. Drew's dad sat down at the chair near his desk while the girls remained standing. One of the brunettes had shorter hair just above her shoulder in what looked like dog-ears style and had a red bandanna on and she had sapphire blue eyes. The other brunette had hair at waist level and her hair was darker, she was wearing a white hat with a pink half pokeball design at the front and she has forest green eyes. The red-head's hair was slightly longer than the first brunette's hair and she had cerulean eyes. The last one was the blunette, her navy blue hair was slightly below her shoulder, she was wearing a beany that had the same color and design as the second brunette's hat and she had cobalt blue eyes. I had to admit they were all good-looking, but no doubt that they will turn out to be the same as all the girls in these stupid school who only like us because of our looks. It's so annoying.

"You boys are probably wondering why I called you here, correct?" Mr. Hayden asked.

"Dad, just get to the point." Drew said.

His dad sighed and the 3 of us rolled our eyes at his direct-to-the-point attitude. "Very well then. As you can see these girls are new. I want all of you to show them around the school."

"But why do we have to do it? Why not pick somebody else?" Drew asked. We all agreed though, why us?

His dad seemed taken aback, "We-well, b-because-", he stuttered but bandanna-girl answered for him.

"Because he told us that you guys are the top trainers of this school, and since this is our first day and class has already started last month, he figured that he could rely on you guys to tour us." She said while smiling. She looked so disgustingly happy, I wrinkled my nose.

Drew's dad on the other hand looked relieved. "Yes, that's right. Anymore questions?"

He looked at us, Ash raised his hand. "Why are you starting school one month late?" he asked. Ash may not be very smart, But he can be when he wants to be.

This time, it was the blunette who answered, like bandanna over there, she looked too cheerful for my taste, "Because we just moved here to La Rousse last week and spent the rest of our time unpacking."

We all nodded, it seemed believable enough.

"OK," Mr. Hayden continued, "you guys can go now. I've told all your teachers from 7:30 am till before lunch that you guys are excused. That's all. You're all dismissed."

We then all proceeded outside the door. Touring 4 girls at this school. Oh, joy (note the sarcasm). This is gonna be a long day.

LEAF'S POV

When we were out of the office the boys turned to us. "Maybe you girls would like to introduce yourselves?" said the spiky brunette with a raised eyebrow. They were all looking at us expectantly.

I started. Well, might as well get this done and over with fast, I thought. "My name's Leaf Green"

"Misty Waterflower"

"May Maple"

"Dawn Berlitz"

"Now it's your turn, mind introducing yourselves?" Misty said copying spiky over there.

The brunette and grass head smirked, the plum head (Paul, the one I'm protecting) looked impassive, The file was right he really DOESN'T talk much, I thought, and the raven hair looked like he was happy to meet us, his smile was so big I thought his face would split.

"My name is Drew, Drew Hayden, and you girls just met my dad." Grass head said. It was obvious they were related, they looked almost exactly alike. They both have green hair but Mr. Hayden's hair was darker, but unlike Drew who has eyes the color of his hair, Mr. Hayden had blue eyes. He was wearing the school's uniform which was a white button down long sleeved shirt with a red tie, it was covered by a green blazer (a shade darker than the girls' uniforms' blazer) that was unbuttoned, he also had brown khakis and black shoes. He flicked his fringe. He really does look like he cares about his image.

"Hi, I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, and this is my buddy Pikachu." so raven hair was Ash, May's client. His hair was messily spiked in the opposite directions and he had hazel brown eyes. He is also wearing the school's uniform but his blazer was buttoned to his chest and his tie was missing and his pants were wrinkled. He looked like a carefree person to me.

"Paul Shinji." My client said. His hair was the color of a plum and is just above his shoulder. He has a pair of onyx eyes that looks emotionless. He wore the uniform the same way Ash did but he had a red tie, and he wore a pair of black jeans instead of brown khakis.

The 4 of us sweatdropped. He was really, and I mean REALLY, an introvert.

"Anyway," spiky said, "last but definitely not the least, I'm Gary Oak." He then turned to me, and smirked, not an arrogant smirk, but a flirty smirk. "Hello, there Beautiful. When would you like to go out on a date with this awesome guy?" he said pointing to himself.

I scooted a bit farther from him. "When I'm dead." I replied, "Plus, 3 days. Just to make sure I'm dead." (guess where I got that from?) I added.

The girls giggled at my response.

He seemed to falter for a moment, I smirked. That seems like it bruised his ego pretty badly. But he quickly composed himself and smirked again. "A feisty one, eh?" he said, "I like it."

I rolled my eyes. Seriously, can't he take a hint, I thought, if I have to put up with him for a year, oh boy, this would be torture. I sighed.

"My name is MAY! M-A-Y! 3 freakin' letters you Grasshead!"

May's voice jolted me back to the present. She and Drew seemed to be arguing with each other. Misty and Ash on the other hand were having a civilized conversation, Dawn was trying to get Paul to talk but from the looks of it, she was just annoying the heck out of him. And from the looks of it, he has had enough.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP YOU TROUBLESOME GIRL?!" Paul snapped at Dawn. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the two. But Dawn was smiling.

"Yes!" she cheered, "I got you to say more than just 3 words and 'Hn'." She said obviously pleased with herself.

Everyone sweatdropped. Even us, we knew Dawn was very unpredictable.

Paul just humphed, but if you look closely you could see hints of pink on his cheeks. "Let's just start this stupid tour so we can get it over with." He said.

"Oh yeah," Ash said, suddenly remembering, "where do you guys wanna go-?"

"TO THE CAFETERIA!" May screamed and fist pumped to the air. Ash's eyes lit up. "Really?!" he asked not believing what May just said.

"Yeah," May said, "I'm so hungry because a certain someone," she glared at me, I just put on an innocent face, "didn't let me have some extra pancakes."

"You ate 6 pancakes just 30 minutes ago." I deadpanned.

She nodded, "Exactly, 30 minutes ago and now I'm-" her stomach growled and she blushed, "hungry."

Ash's stomach growled too. We all laughed. Drew smirked, "Are you sure you two aren't related?"

Our (the girls and I) smiles faded. "Yeah," May replied smiling, not a happy one but a sad one, "I'm sure."

They were about to ask us more questions but May's stomach growled again. Our smiles, the happy ones this time, returned.

"Let's just go to the cafeteria, I wanna eat now." May said enthusiastically.

"Alright!" Ash said as he pumped his fist into the air, "Follow me everyone." And he began walking in the direction that must be leading to the cafeteria. Everyone (except May who happily followed him) even his Pikachu, sweatdropped.

"Now I know why one of May's first pokemon was her Munchlax." Misty muttered. "Well, we better follow them before they finish all the food."

Drew smirked, "Yeah we wouldn't want that now would we."

"Hey Misty, Leaf." Dawn called us, "Race you there!" and she took off running.

"Troublesome." We heard Paul mutter. Misty and I rolled our eyes. "You have no idea."

ASH'S POV

May and I both stacked our trays so high. I looked at her, "Are you sure you can eat all of that?" I asked. It looked almost impossible.

"Of course." She smiled, then I think I just saw a light bulb light up on her head, "Why don't we have a race. Whoever finishes first can make the loser do one thing he or she wants."

Just as our friends, entered I said, "You're on."

Leaf volunteered to be the referee. "3, 2, 1… GO!"

3 minutes later our trays were empty. We turned to Leaf, "Who won?"

The winner was, "Ash. But May came close."

I turned to May, since I won she has to do one thing I say. "Hey May," I told her, "what I want you to do is… Battle with me on a 3 on 3 with no time limit." I challenged her.

*skip to the battle field*

THIRD PERSON POV

"This battle is a 3 on 3 pokemon match. No substitutions. The battle is over if all your three pokemon are unable to battle. And, BEGIN."

Ash chose first, "Sceptile, I choose you!"

Then it was May's turn, "Delcatty, take the stage!"

A: Sceptile, start it off with Bullet Seed!

M: Counter it with Blizzard Delcatty!

The attacks collided and caused an explosion.

A: Now, use Leaf Blade!

Delcatty's cry was heard as she was hit directly as the smoke cleared.

A: Alright Sceptile!

M: Perfect!

A: Huh?

M: *smile* Let me give you a little hint.

She pointed at Ash's Sceptile. It had hearts' in its eyes!

A: Oh no Sceptile!

M: That's Delcatty's Cute Charm ability. Now use Flamethrower!

A: Sceptile look out!

It hit Sceptile head-on while an audience was gathering. Flamethrower was finished revealing a fainted Sceptile.

L: Sceptile is unable to battle. Delcatty is the winner!

A: You did well Sceptile, take a good long rest. It's not over yet! Scrafty, I choose you!

M: Delcatty use Thunder!

A: Dodge and use Hi Jump Kick!

Thunder missed and Scrafty nailed its opponent. The super effective and powerful hit was able to make it faint.

L: Delcatty is unable to battle! Scrafty wins!

M: Thank you Delcatty, return. Now, Beautifly, come on out!

M: Start it off with Gust!

Gust was strong enough to knock Scrafty off its feet and sailing towards a tree.

A: Use that tree to launch Headbutt!

Scrafty managed to do so and was heading towards Beautifly with a strong Headbutt.

M: Use Silver Wind!

Scrafty was hit by Silver Wind but also landed a strong blow on Beautifly. Both were knocked out.

L: Both pokemon are unable to battle! It's a draw!

A: Take a good long rest Scrafty.

M: You were awesome Beautifly, return.

A: Pikachu, you're up!

M: Blaziken, take the stage!

A: Pikachu, use Quick Attack!

M: Wait for it Blaziken.

Once Pikachu was close enough, Blaziken attacked.

M: Use Blaze Kick!

Pikachu was launched into the air.

A: Now use Thunderbolt!

Blaziken was hit and it did a lot of damage. Both Blaziken and Pikachu are injured but still have some energy left in them.

A/M: Let's finish this!

A: Pikachu Electro Ball!

M: Overheat!

Both attacks hit their marks causing an explosion. When the smoke cleared, Pikachu has fainted and Blaziken is barely standing.

L: Pikachu is unable to battle! Blaziken wins! Victory goes to May!

ASH'S POV

I didn't even notice that there was a crowd until they started cheering.

"You did a good job Pikachu." I told my best friend. When I saw May's first two pokemon I didn't worry about the third one. But when she sent out Blaziken, I was so shocked. It was easily the strongest looking Blaziken I have ever seen.

May came over to us and stretched out her hand for us to shake, "That was a good battle Ash. You're pretty strong." she said. I shook her hand. " Thanks," I replied, "you were really strong too."

The guys also came over and they all looked shocked, even Paul. The girls were only smiling like this was normal. "Great job as usual May." Leaf said.

"Alright let's continue the tour!" I said. That loss got me all fired up. It's been a while since I had a battle like that. Maybe these girls being our friends would actually make this school year fun.

that was longer than planned but eh.

Review!

The next chapter will have all the shippings in it.
