ASH'S POV
RING RING RING! RING RING RING! SCHOOLTIME! SCHOOLTIME! The siren sounded. I wearily got up and got dressed. The process took all of 15 minutes. I found Misty waiting
for me outside my door. "Hurry up Ash! We're gunna be late! And I gotta tell Jessie and James that we'll meet em at the same place today!"
I heard Misty hurrying me along.
"Hold your Ponytas!" I cried back as I dashed out the door. Misty sighed and started walking quickly. I struggled to keep up with her.
"Hey slow down! I only just woke up," I scampered after her.
"Well if you had of gotten up at the time they said we should have then you wouldn't be so tired Mr. Ketchum!" Misty snapped back.
I sighed and continued walking after her.
"Late again I see? Well as Officer Penny I must inform you to go to the office immediatly!" our home-room teacher scolded us.
"I hate Officer Penny," I scowled as we walked to the front office. Misty facefaulted at me.
"Well I wouldn't have to go to the office if you hadn't of slept in!" she pointed out.
"I DID NOT SLEEP IN! IT'S MY CHIKUSHO ALARM CLOCK!" Ash spat back.
"What did Mrs. Ketchum say about your language?"
"I don't care I can say whatever I want, whenever I want!"
"NO! I'M OLDER AND YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME!"
"WHO SAYS?!"
"I SAY!!"
"WELL WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT WHAT A SCRAWNY LITTLE RED-HEAD SAYS?"
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME SCRAWNY?!"
"YEAH CUS THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE!"
"WELL YOU'RE JUST A STUBBORN LITTLE BOY WHO CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!"
"I DO NOT! I KNOW A LOT ABOUT POKEMON!"
"AND YOU HAVE A ONE TRACK MIND! ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IS POKEMON BATTLES!"
"YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?!"
"YEAH!!!!"
Now we were nose to nose.
"HEY BREAK IT UP YOUSE TWO!" a voice shouted from below. His grammer seemed unusually cut short.
"Baka humans, what are dey good for?" the same voice said.
Misty and I looked up and down everywhere.
"You idiots! Down here!" the voice snapped. Then I felt a searing pain pass over my face. I winced and looked down.
There was a Meowth standing on two legs! And he was talking!
"Dat'll teach ya!" the Meowth smirked blowing on his claws.
"Meowth?! What did you do to them?" I heard Jessie's voice yelling angrily at the Meowth.
The Meowth started explaining what had just happened.
James came running after Jessie and asked what happened in here. Jessie picked Meowth up and tossed him aside.
"Little fuzzbrain. Don't hurt him or be mad at him, he's our friend," Jessie apologised to Misty and I. She sent James to get some
antiseptic.
Once we were treated Jessie and James explained that they had receptionist leave today, as the normal receptionist called in sick.
"Well we got sent here for being late at home-room. So what's our punishment going to be?" Misty said sadly.
James' face fell into a soft smile. "Well, I think that's a pretty stupid reason to be sent here so I'll drop the normal
charges. Now I know this isn't right but who cares? I'm gonna let you stay here with us and say that yuor punishment is to help with the filing kay?"
James explained. I grinned. Misty grinned too.
"Hey, sorry Me-owth scratched ya up," Meowth apologised. I leant down to pat him.
"Well what are you waiting for you pathetic kids? Come on hurry up and get some filing done!" Jessie yanked us up playfully.

When the first break bell went, we all went back to that same bench we were sitting on the other day.
"Hey let's go find Lame Girl!" James suggested. We all agreed and got up. I kept making cracks about Yugoslavia.
It was nearly the end of first break and we still hadn't found Lame Girl.
"But I'm bored! Can't we just get something to eat?" I complained. Misty started fighting with me again until I heard
Jessie say something.
"Is it?" James replied to her. What were they talking about? I asked myself. Then I looked to where they were pointing, it was Lame Girl!
"Hey! TARA!" we shouted in unison. She came over to us.
We tried to talk to her again, and she kept walking off! How rude!
When the second school bell rang the girl started walking aimlessly to the upper-grade door. Misty
quickly ran after her to tell her she was going the wrong way. I followed Jessie and James inside.
When Misty returned she told us all that happened.
"Ok this was our conversation with me starting it;
'hey you're going the wrong way'
'do you know that people in Yugoslavia speak a different language?'
'ooohhh, well why aren't you going back to class?'
'i like going back to class'
'then why aren't you?'
'I told you I like going back to class'
'alright then but why aren't you doing it'
Then she ran off and said something about my friends," Misty explained.
"What a little bitch!" Jessie scoffed.
"Newsletter! Newsletter!" He-she came crashing around the corner. He cried in his cold-like accent.
I looked at the front page, it said that a gala day was coming up. I had to go! And there was even a chance that
I could win a pokemon! Or at least a pokeball... Maybe Misty would come too!
