"Pikapi!"
The raven haired boy opened his eyes, looking around briefly before sitting up. He wasn't the slightest bit surprised he was sleeping on the floor even though he didn't remember the details of the previous night.
"Morning buddy," Ash pulls a slight smile at the electric mouse.
"Pi ka!" Pikachu smiles in return.
With that, Ash picked himself up and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
"Get up you lazy, good-for-nothing kid!" A female voice shouts sharply as she kicks the girl, who was sleeping on the floor, sharply in the stomach.
Summer wakes up with a gasp, slightly winded by the kick.
"What did I just-" The voice cuts itself off as Summer quickly gets up.
"Good morning Heather," she says, faking cheerfulness.
"Hurry up!" The voice, now revealed to be Heather, snapped.
Ash forced a slight smile onto his face as he walked out of the house, not eating breakfast. Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder and settled down for the short walk to the bus stop.
"Well buddy, first day of school. Let's try to enjoy it?" He joked. Pikachu, however, frowned. His trainer never enjoyed anything anymore, sadly. Not even battling!
"Just don't mention anything about me, other than maybe the fact that I'm your trainer. Not like other's would understand, but still..." He continued, not exactly noticing Pikachu wasn't paying attention. "Between you, Greninja, Sceptile, Charizard, Garchomp and Noivern, I'm not sure who to trust with doing so."
Summer sighed, walking to the bus stop with Aqua in her hand-made pouch. Aqua, Midnight, Rose, Bounce, Stars and Lightning were her set of six that she brought. Other than those, she had Lavender and Crystal.
Basically, Aqua is a Piplup, Midnight is a Misdreavus, Rose is a Roserade, Bounce is a Loppunny, Stars is a Staraptor, Lightning is a Parchirisu, Lavender is an Espeon and Crystal is a Gardevoir.
"Well girl, what do you think the first day of school will be like. Maybe... Hyper crazy? I seriously hope there are no fans," she smiled while stroking the top of Aqua's head before shuddering at the thought of that. "Fans are by far worse case although the most likely scenario. Although I must say, maybe taking me and ripping me to shreds is more merciful than letting me live."
"Ashy-boy!" Gary Oak yelled as the raven haired boy walked into range of the bus stop.
"Sum!" Dawn yelled at the same time as the pastel green haired girl walked closer.
Instantly, the both of them stopped, looking at each other.
"Who's Ashy-boy/Sum?" They asked each other simultaneously.
By that time, both people in concern had officially reached the bus stop but had not noticed them.
After some explanation, the misunderstanding was cleared up and it was confirmed that Ashy-boy was Ash Ketchum, champion of Kanto and Sum was Summer Emerald, Sinnoh's champion.
Boyfriend and girlfriend finally came to an agreement and turned to look for Ash and Summer, only to find that they were nowhere to be seen. Scratch that, the entire bus stop was devoid of people. The bus had already left. Sighing, the duo decides to ride their Pokemon to school, a Togekiss and a Pidgeot respectively. Actually, not like they have many choices unless they want to be late.
"OMA! Its the Kanto champion!"
"The Sinnoh one too!"
"What are they doing here in Kalos?"
"Do you think-"
Ash sighs and plugs his headphones in. Seriously? Can a boy not get a break from fans?
Pikachu jumps down from his perch on his trainer's shoulder and onto his lap, curling up into a ball. Instinctively, Ash starts to stroke his starter. Pikachu coos softly before falling asleep.
Summer, unknowingly seated next to Ash, leans back slightly, eyes close and only one side of the earpieces in.
So the Kanto champion is here too? That makes life more interesting.
"Where are they?"
"They're seated next to each other!"
"Do you think they're an item?"
She takes a deep breath. She is more than tempted to punch whoever suggested that in the face.
Turning around, she looks at the boy next to her. Messy raven black hair barely covered by the black hoodie, he looks as if he wants nothing more to do with the world, like her. Then, she looked at herself. A simple white dress that had rather short sleeves and a light blue cardigan with long sleeves. At least she looks less suicidal.
Taking another deep breath, she removes her earpieces and forces a smile. Reaching out to the boy, she taps him lightly on the shoulder.
He felt tapping on his shoulder. Okay, which fan now?
Opening his eyes and facing the person who tapped him, he took a quick examination of her. A white dress with a blue cardigan, pale yellow pouch with a Piplup inside and long pastel green hair with emerald eyes. Likely to be either a coordinator or a performer due to the unevolved Pokemon still in the cute stage.
"Yes?" He asked.
"I'm Summer Emerald, champion of Sinnoh, nice to meet you," the girl smiles.
Not a coordinator? Not a performer? A champion like him? The world is getting a little too messed up for his liking.
"I'm Ash Ketchum, champion of Kanto. Nice to meet you too!" He forces a smile and offers his hand.
They exchange handshakes and sit in silence for a while, unsure of what to say.
"Would you like a battle before school starts?" She asks out of the blue.
"Sure, why not?" He shrugs.
"Your best versus my best?" Summer suggests.
"I'm fine with that," he says calmly.
The conversation comes to a standstill again.
