Chapter 12: Adventures in Kindergarten

The group was getting ready to leave the Pokémon Center after resting there for the night. They then handed their room key over to Nurse Joy and thanked her for checking on their Pokémon and headed off. While walking along down the road Drake was analyzing his new Vivillion for moves and other information. "Now let's see." Drake said while checking on his Pokéwatch

Vivillion

Gender:Male

Abilities: Compound Eyes,Shield Dust (secondary),Friend Guard (hidden ability)

Current Moves: Quiver Dance,Sleep Powder,Bug Buzz,Psybeam,U-turn

"Wow Vivillion has quite an arsenal." Drake said "I agree,and knowing you. You'll train him to his fullest potential." Ash said. He knew that Drake always has the capability to unlock a Pokémon's potential with the training and caring. "Thanks,And I'll work alongside him all the way." Drake said. "Hey you guys coming?" Clemont asked. Ash and Drake then realized how far they were behind. "We're coming." They then catch up and the group continues to walk down the road. After two hours of non stop walking everyone decided it was time to rest and have lunch. "Alright I'll handle the cooking." Said Clemont while taking out a large oven from his bag. Drake actually wondered how does a thing that big fit in such a small bag,but then put the thought aside. "I'll give you a hand." Drake said while getting a loaf of bread from Clemont's bag. Meanwhile Ash,Serena,and Bonnie were settled up the table,chairs,and sliver ware while Drake and Clemont handle the cooking. Fifteen minutes later everyone was already sitting at the table with spaghetti along with a few sandwiches on the side.

"Wow so yummy." Said Bonnie drooling while looking at all the yummy food on the table. "I hope you guys enjoy the spaghetti because it's cooked Kanto style." Drake said with pride. Even though he learned how to make a few dishes from some experienced cooks,it was his mom who taught him everything he knew and her spaghetti dish was his #1. "Aww sweet you know how much I miss mom's cooking." Ash said with his eyes nearly popping out of his sockets. In his mind it's been forever since he ate his mom's cooking. "I know Ash so have I". Said Drake. "Wow this pasta is delicious Drake." Serena said while getting other serving. "I agree your mom really taught you well." Clemont said. "Thanks guys now let's continue eating ok." Drake said while chuckling. After lunch everyone then cleaned up and put the table and chairs away and were getting really to leave. "Alright let's get going." Ash said then as they were about to head back into the road they heard someone calling them.

"Hey wait up." Everyone turned around to see a girl around Ash's age. She had red hair,wore a short white tank top that her stomach was exposed,pink jeans with the leggings rolled up abit,and pink sneakers. "Hello" Ash said. "I challenge you to a battle." She pointed at Ash. "Ha very well,you're on." Ash stated. "Well that escalated quickly." Drake said. Ash and the girl then stood across from each other. "Well the truth is that when two trainer's eyes happen to meet,rule is they have a battle." The girl stated. "Is that really a rule?" Serena asked. "I'm not certain if it's a legitimate rule,but it is standard among trainers." Clemont explained.

"My name's Penelope and this is Sylveon." She then released a white Pokémon with a slender body,a pink tail,a two pink and white bow on the neck and it's right ear,pink ankles and ears, lastly it has scarf like appendages with pink and blue tips on the ends. "Wow looks like an Espeon." Ash then took out his Pokédex to scan it.

"Sylveon,The Intertwining Pokémon, and the evolved form of Eevee. It wraps its ribbonlike feelers around the arm of its beloved Trainer and walks with him or her."

"Wow another Eeveelution I'd never heard of it before" Drake said. "You know Drake Sylveon is actually a fairy type." Clemont said. "Really?,I've heard of fairy types before but I never knew much about them." Drake said. "Yep,even Dedenne is part Fairy type."

"Dede." It said. "Wow that part I missed," Drake said feeling embarrassed. Meanwhile Ash got ready to battle. "A new type,a new Pokémon,Froakie lets go." Ash then released Froakie to get things started.


Ash vs. Penelope: One on One.

"Now before we get started there is one little thing." Penelope stated "I need your word. If I'm the victor of our battle you're coming with me sweetheart." Penelope smiled. Meanwhile Serena nearly fell over as she couldn't believe what she proposed especially to Ash. "She can't be serious. Her and Ash,no way." She said nervously while everyone watched her in confusion. She really hopes Ash could win this one. "You have my word,but there's no way I'll lose." Ash stated.

"Froakie use Water Pulse." Froakie then fired a ball of water at Sylveon. "Dodge it." Sylveon was able to dodge it with elegance and agility. "Well it's sure is agile." Ash said to himself. "Alright get in close and use Pound." Froakie then rushed in and jumped to gain momentum to use a Pound. "Use Fairy Wind." Sylveon then twirl her Feelers around to create a strong pink draft above Froakie. Froakie was then caught in the middle and was toss back to Ash,causing damage. "Froakie are you ok?" There was noticeable damage on Froakie,despite this Froakie nodded. "Alright use Water Pulse." Froakie then tried to get close to aim easily and fired his attack. "Use Moonblast." Sylveon then absorb moonlight and fired a pink blast at Froakie's Water Pulse,causing a shock wave. The shock wave pushed Froakie back since he was too close,hurling him to a tree causing damage and a few apples to fall. Ash notice this and use it to his advantage. "Quick use the apples." Froakie then got up and directed the apples to Sylveon to attack.

"Block them." Using her Feelers Sylveon then blocked the incoming apples but failed to to notice Froakie already charging at her. "Gotcha,Use Water Pulse." Penelope gasp as she failed to notice that the apples were merely a distraction so Froakie could get in close,but by then it was too late. Froakie then launched his attack at close range,dealing damage to Sylveon. "Are you ok Sylveon?" Sylveon nodded and got ready. "Froakie use Pound." Froakie then charged in and tried to use Pound. "I don't think so,use Attract." Sylveon then winked causing hearts to float to Froakie. Froakie stopped mid attack as the Attract floated around him and he knew there was nothing he can do,there the Attract worked and Froakie was now in a complete obsession with hearts in his eyes.

"Uh why is Froakie dancing?" Bonnie asked,"its the Attract,it's a move in which the Pokémon of the opposite gender is immobilized by love." Clemont said. "That means Ash is in trouble." Serena clasped her hands together. "Froakie snap out of it." Ash said. But Froakie was still dancing around. "That's it,use Draining Kiss." Sylveon then hopped over and peck Froakie on the check,causing him to scream in joy,but then the remaining energy was transferred from him to Sylveon causing him to faint.


Ash then rush over to see if Froakie was ok. "Here Ash this Oran Berry will restore Froakie strength back." Ash thanked and accepted the berry and fed it the Bubble Frog Pokémon to heal. "Wow I got to say to say that kiss took Froakie's breath away." Bonnie said. "Combine Attract and the Draining Kiss was a lovable combination." Clemont said. "I hope you guys had no puns intended when you said that." Drake said while what they said was true,it really wasn't much of a joke. Everyone then walked over as Ash thanked Penelope for the battle. "Well you gave your word." She said.

"huh?" Ash said,she really wasn't kidding about that bet they made. "So you agreed that If you lost. You have to come with me." Penelope smiled. Meanwhile Serena wasn't happy about this at all. "Surely you're not gonna go with her are you?" Serena said all concerned. "I gave her my word,I have to go." Ash said. Serena's heart then sank down to her stomach,she really hope this girl doesn't try anything with Ash. "You guys can come along as well." Penelope said. "Wait where are you-" Drake said until he was interrupted. "Of course we will" Serena said hastily,no way she would be leaving Ash alone with this girl.

Penelope then lead the group down the road. As they get closer Serena felt more and more anxious as to where Penelope was taking them. Then a sudden thought crept into her mind,of which Penelope was leading them to an alter with a priest in front. In a blink of an eye,she saw Penelope in a wedding gown and Ash in tux. Then as the priest finished their heads were get closer and closer to seal their new marriage. This fueled Serena's paranoia as they were merely centimeters away until something broke her trance.

"Here we are." Serena then looked around and what she saw made her feel relief. Everyone then looked to see a building with drawings of Pokémon around. On the yard was a playground was swings,slides,and a washing station. After they set foot on the yard. The front door opened and a class of young children came to greet the group. Many tried to greet Pikachu,who felt surrounded and then climbed to Ash's head. "So what you bring this time Miss Penelope." One boy said while Drake didn't understood by what he meant. Smiling Penelope then explained to the group that every once in a while she heads into the forest to befriend a wild Pokémon,She then takes to show it to the whole class. If she can she'll even invite trainers and their Pokémon to show to her class as well. "You know,we would've came anyway,no matter the result of our battle." Ash said "Thanks for understanding,all of you." Everyone nodded and continued to socialize with the children. The group then decided to release their Pokémon,from there the children enjoyed playing with Froakie,Pikachu,Bunnelby,Vivillion,and Fletchling. While Serena shows Fennekin to a few little girls and Drake demonstrated his Raichu's and Charizard's strength,wowing the rest of the children.

While everyone was enjoying themselves. Team Rocket was stalking the group nearby on a tree,their eyes set on the Mouse Pokémon they obsess over the years. "Alright today's the day we catch Pikachu. Said Jessie. "True but even if we get the little rascal,how are we gonna make our escape?" James asked then a drooling Meowth broke their focus. "Ahhh,that Sylveon has certainly caught my eye and my heart." Meowth said with hearts in his eyes. "Don't tell me he got hit by Attract." James said in embarrassment. Jessie then smacked Meowth in the back of the head,getting his attention. "Uhh,right we need to catch Pikachu." He said while the three climb down the tree.

While playing with the children Penelope then realized one of them was missing. "Hey where's Randall?" She said,then one of the boys then pointed him sitting down at the steps at the front boy. "Hey Ash can you help me?" She asked. Ash nodded and she filled him in on Randall, a boy with a teo shirt,shorts and simple sneakers,along with a yellow-orange ski cap on his head. She explained to Ash that Randall wasn't used to Pokémon,always hiding from them or keeping his distance,there they reach Randall to talk to him

"Hi Randall." Ash said,but the boy didn't respond back nor look at Ash. "I'm Ash and this is Pikachu and Froakie." Ash Randall was hesitant to even look at the two Pokémon. "Randall,don't you want to meet Pikachu and Froakie?" Penelope asked,Randall shook his head in response. "Why Randall they're not gonna hurt you." Ash said. "I'm not worried about that. Im afraid they won't like that."

"Why?" Penelope asked.

Randall then told them about when he was younger he met a Hoppip and when he approached it,it got scared and ran away,leaving the young boy scared of Pokémon ever since then,but unknowingly to him there was a Beedrill behind him that scared Hoppip away that day. "I'm sure Hoppip didn't mean to do that." Ash said,trying to cheer the young boy. "Maybe...but maybe he didn't want to be my friend." Randall said. "I'm sure that's not true Randall." Ash said. "You can befriend any Pokémon Randall. Trust them,trust yourself and you can overcome this." Ash said trying to help him.

Then all the sudden a truck came and parked outside the entrance. There all the kids and the group approached it,only for the trailer to open up,revealing some kind of set up. "Heellooo we arrived as promised." She a pink dress female. "I never scheduled a stage truck to come." Penelope said wondering why would they come. From there while dancing a little person in a clown suit dropped several colored balls on the ground. At first the children were going to pick them up but Drake prevented this,knowing that may not be a good idea,he now knew how right he was. The balls then dispense smoke,leaving everyone coughing and running for air. During all this two arms appeared and grabbed Pikachu and Sylveon,but Randall saw this and ran after them,unknown to him Ash saw him running off and went after him. Drake then appeared though the smoke and saw that the truck was leaving,using his Aura vision he saw five Aura signatures in the trailer and three red ones in the drivers seat. He chased after it and managed to climb to the top of the trailer only to see that they were approaching a tunnel. From there he ran to the back and jumped off to avoid going splat,he then rolled as soon as possible to break his fall,from there it was too late since truck was already out of reach,leaving him behind.

"Dammit" Drake hit the ground in frustration. Then a car approached from behind and he saw it was Penelope and the others. "Drake where's Ash?" Serena asked. "He's in the trailer." Drake said. "Ok get in." Drake then gets in and tells Penelope some more bad new. "And Penelope,Randall and Sylveon are inside as well." Penelope nearly braked and started to worry. "Don't worry Ash will take care of them.

Inside the Trailer Froakie was using Pound to free Pikachu from his glass prison,but the glass was extremely durable to the point that it doesn't even make a mark. Meanwhile Ash was trying to help him break Pikachu's cage. While Randall was just sitting beside the wall unsure what to do. Ash saw this and tried to get him back on his feet. "Hey Randall we could use your help." Ash said. Meanwhile Randall didn't listen and stay sitting there. "But...I can't...I can't help." He said. But Ash wasn't really to give up on him. "Remember I said, Trust them,trust yourself,and you can do anything." Ash said before continuing. "Look,they need you,and you need them,you can save them,you can be their friend." Ash said. While Randall looks at Penelope's Sylveon who was still trapped in her cage. He saw himself in Sylveon,afraid at the moment,but he knew Ash was right. If he believes in them,he can believe in himself. "Ok lets free them." They then ram the the glass a few times until it finally broke,freeing Pikachu. He thanked Randall and his trainer until Ash and the others then did the same thing with Sylveon's cage. Moments later the truck finally and Team Rocket got off.

"Ha,those twerps never saw that coming." Said James. "You could say that again Jimmy boy." Said Meowth "And now we finally caught Pikachu!" The three cheer as they opened the trailer but were then shocked to see somebody else.

"And us too." Ash said angrily. He didn't enjoy been taken to Arceus knows where. "TWERP!" They said shocked to see Ash storway on their truck. "Now the Easy way or the Hard way." Ash asked. Team Rocket responded by releasing their Pumpkaboo and Inkay. "Alright Inkay/Pumpkaboo,Shadow Ball/Psybeam." Both Pokémon then launched their attacks. "Everyone GO!" Pikachu,Froakie,and Sylveon then launched their signature attacks overpowering Inkay and Pumpkaboo attacks,knocking them out. "Hey Randall can you give me a hand?" Ash asked. Randall nodded and stood right beside him.

"Pikachu/Froakie Use Thunderbolt/Water Pulse." Both said. Both Pokémon then combined their attacks and struck Team Rocket with overwhelming force,senting them flying

"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" They said as they lose once again.

"Alright" Both boys said. When they head outside they see a car park by,there everyone greeted them. "Ash" Serena said. "Hey guys." Ash greeted everyone. "So what happen?" Clemont asked. "Team Rocket." Ash said,those two words were enough for everyone to understand. From there they head back to the Classroom. It was late afternoon and the sun was beginning to set,so if they needed to get to a Pokémon Center they had to get going. "Well Ash thank you for everything." Randall shook his hand. "Hey I was happy to help Randall." Ash said. "As soon as I become a trainer. I want to challenge you to a battle." Randall declared. "Looking forward to the day Randall." Ash promised. There everyone waved goodbye as they walked down the road to head to the next Pokémon Center as the Journey continues.
