Chapter 27: RPA High

After leaving Fiero City, the group is now heading towards Quest Town, but before they head there, they notice a lot of children training Pokemon as well as studying. Max asks, "Where are we, and why is there a lot of children here?"

Alice says, "Welcome you guys to the RPA High School. As you can see, this school is where our company and other places find the workers and staff members."

Ash says, "Mother is the principal of this school, as she has to come here very often, but Alice and I are also teachers here in the school as we like to teach the others what we have learned."

"That sure is interesting to know," Serena says. "Can we have a look at what the school is doing?"

"Why not?" Delia asks, "It will be a great experience to know about this whole place."

As they enter the school, they are amazed at the school grounds, as they are big and full of students. As they walk to the Principal's office, they hear a voice, "If it isn't my sister who is going to get married?"

They turn around and find that Eve is the one that calls out to them. Alice hugs her sister and she says, "It is so great to see you again, Sister Eve."

"Same here." Eve smiles, and the others recognize Eve as Max says, "Hey, aren't you the Professor of this region? What are you doing here?"

Eve says, "It sure is nice to see you all again, being a regional Professor, I have to give out speeches to the students here as well."

Delia says, "We usually have a lot of Professors teach students here about being a trainer, and the other stuff such as the jobs for them in the future."

Ash says, "And us being the owners of all kinds of facilities, we have to become teachers of the school as we will teach them about the jobs and the risks. I am sure that it is something that they will need to have if they want to be successful."

"I see." Brock says, "That sure is interesting to know."

Eve says, "By the way, Ash. The Pokemon League Conference is about to hold in Mt. Iceat, you are going there to see the winner, right?"

"Of course, Alice and I have to be there to see the new League Winner." Ash says, "If you guys don't know, Eve is the first Elite 4 member to be faced after getting 14 badges or winning the League Conference."

"A Professor who is also the Elite 4 member? I don't think I have heard of that." Clemont says.

"Well, Professor Oak was once a Champion after defeating Agatha, so I don't see a reason not to." Eve says, "But I am the first one since I focus on researching more than battling. I specialize in Dark Type, and I also offer help to take care of Ash and Alice's Dark Type Pokemon."

"Dark Type Pokemon...does Ash have any Dark Type Pokemon that we know of?" Bonnie asks.

"You'll see." Eve says as she takes them to a room, it is the Massage Room as students are training with the Massage. Ash notices how some girls are rubbing the fur of an Alolan Persian, and he just walks towards them.

"President Ash!" The students are surprised to see him as Persian hugs Ash. "Hello, Persian. How are you doing?"

The Perisan just nuzzles at Ash and it gives a purr, Lillie asks, "When did you get an Alolan Persian?"

"It was a Meowth when I tried the Grand Trial of Officer Nanu again in the Alola Region, I was there for the Darkium Z since the first time I challenged him, he feels that the darkness inside me is not enough to activate the Dark Type Z Crystal."

Alice says, "Your betrayal has made Ash's heart fall into darkness, which makes Nanu agree to give him the Darkium Z and an Alolan Meowth to him."

"I remember that Officer Nanu has a lot of Alolan Meowth, but it was surprising that he would give you one like that." Sophocles says.

"Even Meowth thinks the same thing, but as long as Meowth enjoys it, it is not my place for saying anything." Ash says.

While continuing to the classrooms, they see a lot of teachers teaching some knowledge, and Misty asks, "So what are they teaching? I mean...how is the school system works?"

"People have to study here for four years, we have people from 15 to 18 study here." Delia says, "There are classes that talk about the Pokemon, and there are others that talk about the jobs and the other activities such as Math, Music and so on."

"For the Types, Normal, Water, Bug, Psychic and Flying Type are required for 3 classes a week, Poison, Ground, Rock, Fire, Grass and Electric have required two classes in a week, and the rest needs only one day." Eve says, "The Pokemon to learn are based on their Base Stats since we don't want freshmen to take care of dangerous Pokmon for their safety." Ash says.

"These Type related classes are about the Pokemon of that specific type and their evolutions, as well as all of the information about the Pokemon. If possible, we will like to have teachers tell their experiences about Pokemon to the students so that they will enjoy the classes very much." Alice says.

"Like that class over there." Eve points at the class that is talking about the Umbreon. "Since we are in the second semester, as the seniors will be graduating once the semester ends. They are having a Dark Type Class and the Pokemon is Umbreon."

"That Umbreon is also mine, since I lend my Pokemon to the teachers so that they can talk about the Pokemon and how to take care of them." Ash says.

"I never know you have an Umbreon as well." Serena says, "But then again, you might have all the Eeveelutions with you, right?"

"Yeah." Ash says. "Umbreon is also one of the Pokemon that had depression, but with the moonlight talk, it evolves into a powerful Umbreon in the end."

"That is a good thing to know." Dawn says.

As they leave the school building, Ash and the others are taking the group to the dorms, Dawn asks, "What is that building over there? Is that also the dorm?"

"Well, that is the Golden Dorm of the building, only those who have the score of top twenty will be able to live in that dorm." Ash says. "Of all the dorms, only this dorm doesn't divide into boys and girls."

Delia says, "Indeed. There is a social system for this school and making the dorm as this will be attracted to the students as they want to have the higher treatment."

"I see..." They notice a Houndoom growling at them as they feel a little terrified, Ash smiles and pets the dog, "Hey there, Houndoom, how are you doing?"

The dog Pokemon just barks and they are just relaxing, they also notice the Ketchum Gem and Misty says, "Let me guess, this Houndoom is also your Pokemon?"

"Of course, it is also capable of Mega Evolution as well." Alice says. "It has been helping as a keeper dog since there are people who try to get inside the dorm uninvited."

"I see...if you think about that, it is very capable." Kiawe adds.

After they are done looking around the School Dorms, they are now at the Running Court, they can see a lot of people running in laps, Serena says, "So why do you guys decide to build a school? I mean...it is better to have Education, but usually, there are not many high schools for us since we can already travel when we are ten."

"That's because of my past." Alice says with a frown. Eve sighs and says, "We attended the boarding school when we are younger, and that is also the reason why we never got to meet Ash back in my mother's gym. But Alice has been bullied in the school."

"We heard it from Konomi sensei." Mallow says, "It is true that the reason she was bullied was because of Aura?"

Ash nods and says, "Yes, Aura powers are not something that you can get if you want to. As you can see, Ketchum and Masho are supposed to be enemies in the past."

"The reason behind it is the fact that a lot of years ago, Queen Rin gives the Rota Kingdom to the member of the Ketchum Family, Sir Aaron Ketchum. Members of our family think that it is a disgrace as they want to use violence to take back the castle and give out punishment to Queen Rin." Eve says. "But it fails as Sir Aaron sacrificed himself in the Tree of Beginning to stop the battle."

"Wait, I think we heard it back in the Rota Kingdom about this story, but that was the reason they battled?" Max asks.

"Yeah." Delia says, "Even Adam's father and mother are still treating enemies with the Masho Family and vice versa, we have to ask Arceus to help us stop the family feud and becomes friends together. That was before Ash and Alice were born after all."

"So how many Aura Families are there?" Lillie asks, "I have been trying to find the information in books, but I couldn't find them."

Ash says, "The last one is the Sakaki Family, it is independent of the Ketchum Family. Since Sir Aaron's brother, Arata Ketchum learns the Dark Aura, he wants to use the power to rule the whole world. Therefore, they declare war towards the other two families."

"What is the Dark Aura?" Eve asks.

"Dark Aura is a kind of aura, but it is forbidden to use because of the danger it contains. Those who have a great evil heart will be able to use it with ease and use it to harm others. Arata Ketchum is jealous of his brother Sir Aaron to be the hero, thus he wants revenge. But it is thanks to Sir Aaron, who sacrifices himself to the Tree of Beginning, Arata lost all his soldiers, who refused to battle, and thus he escapes. By cutting ties with the Ketchum Family, he created a name Sakaki and his descendants will try to get revenge on both families for this cause." Delia says.

"For example, Giovanni of the Team Rocket is one of the members of the Sakaki Family." This causes the others to widen their eyes in surprise. "As you can see, he knows that my family is the Ketchum family, therefore he has been telling those three idiots to stalk on me for years. Their motto, their machine exploded in the end, all are just acts made by themselves so that Giovanni can gain much more information on me."

"Wait, so that's why we are able to blast them off these easily?" Brock asks, and Ash sighs, "It is a good thing that they all turn from evil to good and it is thanks to them that we are able to stop Giovanni from harming others again."

"I see." The others nod as Ash and Alice continue to show them around the campus and also finding their Pokemon that was taken care by Eve.

Here is the new chapter, and I intend to have 4 chapters of each type from now on. I am not sure how it works, but I will decide to talk about more in this story. I hope you like it, and in the next chapter, let's say that we are going to have a famous cheering group from the Galar Region and their Gym Leader in Spikemuth to show on the field. I hope you like it.
