Episode 2:Trip

"Have a good day at school Ash, you better behave yourself or else!" Ash's mom, Delia, yelled from the car as he walked to the big, red bricked building. He looked back and waved at his mom. How embarrassing can you get?, Ash thought.

He was glad she hadn't decided she would hold his hand into the school like she did in his freshman year of high school , he was a junior now but he still remembered the looks he got especially from Misty. Oh, Misty he missed her so much even though he could visit her anytime he wanted afterschool, but it was weird not having her at his school, they had been together since pre-school. Oh how he wished he was back in Kanto going to school with all his friends. Even Gary. Ash looked down at the map in his hand, getting confused by all the little symbols. This would've never happened If I was at my old school, Ash thought bitterly. Finding bad things about the school here and there.

"Hi, I'm Cilan and you look lost", A boy with an unusual color of green hair whose name was apparently Cilan said. Ash thought of how unuasaul the guy's hair was, but reminded himself that he has seen weirder.

"Um yeah, where is the office", He asked. Cilan pointed over to the smaller building to the right of the school.

Great I have to walk, the boy in the hat thought to himself. Ash thanked the green haired boy and headed towards the office. The school was made up of three big buildings. One for the office, one for the main school building, and the last one was for the gym which seemed to be bigger than the other two building.

The school buildings looked like a school you would find in a scary movie, by winter it looked even creepier than ever. Ash wondered what his mother thought when she had seen the creppy school. He was sure he would get lost at least ten times that year because of the size. Who would ever want to get lost in a school that looked haunted anyways.

In the office

"Can I talk to the principal", Ash asked the assistant at the desk. He had to hand in some first day of school paper to the principal.

"One second sweet heart", she said with a New York style accent. He lounged on the couch just across the desk. Next to him sat a boy with blonde hair and gray eyes. Wierd but of course he had seen weirder. Eagar to make at least one friend this year he turned to the side the boy sat on putting on his best smile.

"Hi, I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town and I wanna be a Pokémon master!" He practically shouted.

The boy frowned at this, "Oh great a Kanto hillbilly", He scoffed.

"Trip, the principal will see you know", the assistant annnounced. The boy stood up and headed towards the office but not before giving Ash a mean look. Not really friend potential, now I know someone to stay away from, Ash thought. Trip. It was a stupid name to the brown eyed boy.

"Don't worry, he is rude to everybody" Cilan said while walking over to the couch. He plopped down onto the couch, next to Ash. He figured this might've been what Cress meant by getting some friends or whatever he had told him that morning. The boy in front of him was new, he could just tell. When you have no friends for a long amount of time, you basically have no distractions which allows you to take notice of the smallest details. This Ash kid seemed nice enough to become friends with, plus he seemed quite intereasting.

"Good, I thought it was only me, Oh yeah by the way I'm Ash, and I wan-"

"I know I heard your whole conversation while leaving the nurses office."

"Oh". That was kind of embarrassing, Ash thought. Maybe this guy could be friend potential.

"You don't want to get on the wrong side of Trip, but I'm not really sure if there is a good side."

"Thanks for the advice", right when Ash said that Trip reemerged from the office, not even bothering to say bye to Ash he walked out. Damn this guy's rude, Ash thought, frowning.

"Ash the principal will see you now". Ash waved goodbye to the boy on the couch and headed into the office. He hoped to see the green haired boy again sometime, he was friend potential unlike that jerkwad Trip.

In the hall

Ash walked through the big hallway filled with students of different ages and sizes. Of course he was thinking about how in his old shcool in Kanto there wasn't that many children and the hall wasn't so crowded.

He felt someone push past him, which caused him to fall on his butt. He looked up to see who had pushed passed him and he none other than Trip, the rude boy he had met in the office.

"Watch where your going Boonie," He didn't bother to apologize knowing that it wasn't his fault. Then he just walked off with his hands in his pockets. Cilan walked over to the newbie, that was sitting on the tiled floor of the hallway. Ash cussed under his breath, as he Cilan helped him up.

"You ok," Cilan asked. Ash nodded, though he was not okay at all. His school year was starting out quite poorly and he yearned to be back in the halls of his Kanto High School.

"You need any help finding you way around," Cilan offered in a friendly voice.

"Yes please," Ash said, smiling a bit. The taller boy in front of him must've been the only good thing about the wretched school he was stuck in. Cilan looked over Ash's schedule ready to help anyway he could.
