Episode 4: A Rocking Reunion!
Wow so this is the school's main stage it's huge but there's not that many people here. Said Ash.
Well the reason behind that is because this is specifically for the freshmen. Said Leaf who then put on a thinking face on with a finger on her chin. About...over 100 students.
That's some useful information I'll make a note of it. Said Sawyer who started to write in his notebook.
So that means there is that many rivals for us. Said Alain
Well look what the Meowth dragged in. Said a voice.
The group turned to see none other than Gary Oak.
Hey Gary how's it going? As you can see I made it into the Academy. Said Ash with a prideful look on his face.
Gary smirked. Don't get cocky Ashy-boy everyone here made it in so don't feel so special. I mean it's not like you defeated 3 Legendary Pokemon all in a row to get here.
No one said anything as an awkward silence was around them.
Well. Started Ash. Actually I -.
Before he can finish though Leaf slapped her hand over his mouth muffling his voice.
Need to go over to the stage were everyone else is so they can pay attention to the opening speech form the Headmaster. Finished Leaf as she dragged him to were the stage is with everyone else in tow.
The lights then dimmers with a single spotlight at the center of the stage on a man none other than Prof. Oak himself.
PROFESSOR OAK?! Shouted everyone but Gary, Leaf, and Alain.
PIKA PIKA?! Shouted Pikachu.
Riolu tilted it's head in confusion at the groups reaction since it has no idea who the old man was.
Greetings Students! My name is Professor Samuel Oak and I am the Headmaster of Pokemon Academy. Now as some of you may know me but for those who don't my research is the relationships between Pokémon and humans. What the best way to improve the relationships between Pokémon and humans? The answer is Pokemon battles in this school you will be able to have as many Pokemon Battles as you want and we have plenty of wild Pokemon living on this island so you can catch them and have more members of you're family. Which is why I have increased the Pokeball limit to 7 for all students who have made it into their 2nd year and 8 for 3rd years. For those who inspire other Pokemon careers there are other schools that specialize in that subject. For here you can also improve you're skills as a Pokemon Coordinator here as well as to take care of Pokemon. Now to wrap this up I will have one of my most accomplished students. Ash Ketchum please come onto the stage!
Ash was surprised to be called onto the stage and went around it to enter from backstage with Leaf guiding him.
Ash was now standing in front of a whole crowd with a microphone.
Oh, sorry to be talking to you all from up here. Said Ash. I'm not that great at speeches.
The be quick about it please. Said Prof. Oak politely.
I'll keep it short and sweet, then. Began Ash. Just a couple of sentences.
Uh, my name is Ash Ketchum. To be honest, this academy is just a stepping stone for me!
The people in the crowd were beginning to be confused by what he said. What exactly does he mean?
I wasn't sure if I would've been accepted here at first, but since I'm here I don't plan on losing to folks who've didn't make it here with their battling skills.
The crowd was beginning to get angry. Who the hell does he think he is.
Scattered around the crowd were some of Ash's rivals were beginning to smirk by what he said. One person in particular who has pitch black hair with a left red hair bang with red and green eyes wearing a blue blazer over a white shirt wearing black shorts was paying the most attention.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is. Basically, now that I'm here...
Ash the pointed up.
I'm gonna take the number one spot!
This shocked almost everyone in the whole crowd.
Looking forward to being with you all for the next three years!
And with that Ash returned backstage leaving a very pissed off crowd.
YOU LITLLE...!
HEY!
I'MMA KICK YOUR BUTT IN A BATTLE!
All of Ash's rivals smirked at his speech.
When Ash went backstage he breathed a sigh of relief.
Phew, I managed not to bite my tongue. He said.
Ash then saw that Leaf was looking at him like he was crazy or something.
What's with the look? He asked.
You do know that you probably made enemies with all first year students right? Asked Leaf.
Ash just laughed.
Nah! You're probably just imagining things Leaf. Anyway Prof. Oak just emailed me my schedule when I was giving my speech and you won't believe this we have only three classes and the rest of the day is ours. How great is that. Said Ash.
Uh Ash in case you forgot I'm a second year student I already know how the schedule works. Said Leaf.
Oh yeah I forgot you're a year older than me well anyway see ya around I have to get to my class.
Ash was just about to leave when Leaf grabbed his arm preventing him from moving.
Huh? Leaf what's up? Asked Ash as he turned to look at Leaf.
Leaf's head was down and her face was hidden by her hat and hair but if wasn't you would see she was blushing as she let go of Ash's arm.
Well Ash. Leaf started to say in a shy tone as she was beginning to twiddle her thumbs. I was wondering that since your new here and all I could give you a small tour around the school sometime. You just the two of us three if you count Pikachu.
Sure that sounds great Leaf. How about after school and we eat lunch.
You mean it!? She asked with a hopeful expression.
Ash nods. Of course.
Great it's a date! Leaf said happily.
Pikachu was shocked to hear such a bold declaration.
Ash on the other hand was confused.
Um..yeah cause that's how days work. Said Ash making Pikachu facepalm at his trainer's denseness (not that Ash noticed).Well see ya soon.
With that Ash and Pikachu left leaving Leaf alone backstage and once she was sure he was out of eyesight she facepalmed.
Ugh I'm so STUPID! Exclaimed Leaf. I mean I knew he was dense and all but I didn't think was THAT dense and I just went and embarrassed myself by trying to get a date out of him. *Sigh* oh well can't stick around much I need to get my schedule.
With that Leaf went to her designated home room to get her schedule.
It it was almost the end of the first day of classes and Ash is now heading for his last class of the day after returning Riolu to it's Pokéball. Pokémon healing which from what he heard from some upper classmen he asked (for some reason no one in the same year as him didn't want to tell him or ignored him) this class was being taught by a Pokémon Doctor. It was then Ash and Pikachu started to remembered their old travel buddy Brock. The guy was like a older brother to Ash. Brock started out wanting to be the best Pokémon Breeder but after their adventures in the Sinnoh region the ex-gym leader decided to become a Pokémon Doctor and so in order to study into becoming a doctor he had to stop traveling with Ash. But that was OK he wanted to pursue his dream and Ash supported him all the way. He was a good friend, a good cook too but he might like Cilan and Clemont's cooking a bit more.
Hey Pikachu I wonder how Brock is doing don't you? He asked his starter.
Chu. Agreed Pikachu thinking the same thing.
When the duo entered the class they were NOT expecting to see that his teacher was none other than Brock himself.
BROCK!/PIKACHU! The two exclaimed in unison with happiness in their voices.
Brock turned around and saw that the ones who called his name was Ash and Pikachu.
Ash! Pikachu! Is that really you!? Asked Brock.
Yeah it's us! Replied Ash. The two then went and gave each other a big man hug with Pikachu joining in as well after that the two then fist bumped.
Man it's great to see you man how've you been? Asked Ash.
Great not only am I teaching this class but I'm a certified Pokémon Doctor now.
Ash was enthusiastic to hear that. Awesome that means you achieved your dream Brock.
Thanks it's nice to hear you say that but you won't believe what else. Said Brock.
What?! Said Ash.
Just as Brock was about to answer a voice interrupted him.
Brock I'm back with the supplies you asked for. Said an unknown voice.
When Ash turned to see who it was he was surprised to see Suzy. (Brock's Vulpix's original trainer)
Oh hello Ash. Greeted Suzy. I see that you're in this class.
Yeah but what are you doing here? Not to be rude. Asked Ash.
Simple. I'm Brock's assistant see since I'm a Pokémon Breeder and Brock is a Pokémon Doctor Professor Oak thought it would be a great idea for a breeder and a doctor to work together and seeing as there was no better people than Brock and I here we are.
Wow that's pretty cool. Said Ash.
Thank you. Oh and Brock here are the supplies you asked for. Said Suzy as she handed a small box to Brock who accepted it.
Thank you I couldn't have asked for a better partner or girlfriend. Said Brock.
This struck a cord in Ash and Pikachu as they both widened their eyes in shock.
GIRLFRIEND?!
That's right Ash I actually have a girlfriend who so happens to be an amazing partner. Said Brock with pride.
Well I'll be damned you actually got a girlfriend. Said Ash.
Hey! It's not that surprising. Said Brock.
Before Ash can make a joke about his "skills" in the art of love students were beginning to enter the room one by one having them to finish their conversation later. What shocked Ash was to see a familiar purple haired trainer enter a room wearing the same clothes as when they last met with the exception of a gold blazer.
It was Paul.
No one said anything as the two trainers locked eyes and began to have what appears to be a staring contest. The whole room felt like it became 10 degrees colder and you can feel the tension in the air.
The two trainers began to walk toward each other with their fist winded back.
Ketchum.
Shinji.
The two then launched their fists toward each other and when it looked like they were about to punch each other in the face they opened their fists and clasped each other hand like one would do in a arm wrestle and smirked at each other.
Been a while hasn't it Ash? Said Paul.
It has hasn't it Paul? Said Ash.
My Pokémon and I have improved a lot more than the last time we battled.
I see it's a shame it won't make a difference me and my Pokémon have gotten a lot better too.
Things won't turn out like last time.
I beg to differ I believe it WILL turn out like last time with me the winnner.
I'll take you on anytime anywhere.
Name the time and the place.
Before an all out war can take place between the two Brock decided it was time to clear the tension.
OK as nice as it is to see two rivals going head to head why don't we start off our first day of class with a Pokémon Battle? And Ash I will be your opponent. Said Brock.
Sounds good to me. Said Ash. Care to referee Paul?
And miss out on the chance of declaring you the loser how can I not?
The whole class the left to the main battle arena located at the heart of the school.
Leaf was in the middle of class taking Cornell Notes on Professor Rowan's lecture on Pokémon Evolution. She was bored *Sigh* oh well it's not like an epic battle is going on. She had no idea just how wrong she is.
This is a 1 on 1 battle between Ash and Brock. Declared Paul. Battle begin!
Steelix go! Said Brock as he sent out his first Pokémon.
Alright Pikachu I choose you! Said Ash.
Sandstorm! Called out Brock.
A huge sandstorm appeared surrounding the whole field surrounding Ash and Brock as well blocking themselves from everyone.
See if you remember this strategy Steelix use screech! Said Brock.
Steelix then blasted a blast of sound at Pikachu.
That's Roark and Byron's strategy and I know how to counter that Pikachu spin and dodge!
Pikachu did so and spun out of the way.
Steelix/Pikachu use Iron Tail! Command both trainers.
And the two Pokémons' Iron Tail collided creating a powerful shockwave that it vibrated throughout the whole school.
Leaf was still in class and the whole class felt unknown vibrations everyone was starting to make noise and started to talk about what happened until Professor Rowen shut them up and told everyone to continue working.
What was that?! Out of my time here I never felt a vibration so strong. Someone somewhere must be having an extremely strong battle. I hope Ash is ok. Thought Leaf. Little did she know it was Ash who was the cause of the vibrations.
The two Pokémon were still at a stalemate with each other creating shockwaves until an explosion happened causing the two to fly from each other leaving each of them with great damage.
Not bad Ash I see you've gotten better. Let's see how you handle this. Said Brock as he pulled his shirt and vest off leaving him shirtless revealing his strong toned body with a special stone wrapped around his neck.
A keystone! Thought Ash in excitement as he now noticed a small stone attached to Steelix's forehead.
Let's go MEGA EVOLVE! Shouted Brock.
Steelix then Mega Evolved into Mega-Steelix.
Mega Evolution. Said Ash a little nervously as he sweats a little.
Use dig!
Steelix burrows underground leaving a hole at where it was.
That won't work Pikachu use Iron Tail and aim it at the ground! Said Ash.
Pikachu's tail turned metal and slammed it into the center of the field creating a huge crater and causing Steelix to appear in pain.
Now Iron Tail right on the head!
Pikachu started to run up Steelix's body using Quick Attack.
Steelix shake it off! Cried Brock.
It was no use Pikachu was too fast and was able to land it square in the head causing Steelix to fall onto the ground making it revert back to normal it had swirls in it's eyes.
The sandstorm subsided revealing the results of the battle.
Steelix is unable to battle Pikachu wins and victory goes to Ash! Said Paul.
Return Steelix. Said Brock as he then thanked it for it's hard work and walked to Ash.
Ash hugged Pikachu and thanked it for a great job before it climbed onto his shoulder and he then walked to Brock.
The two then shook hands.
Great battle. The two said in unison.
Paul and Suzy then walked up to them.
Well it's about time for class to end. Said Suzy. The two of you were so into the battle you didn't notice how fast time went by and Brock please put your shirt back on you'll catch a cold.
Way ahead of you. Said Brock as he magically had his shirt and vest suddenly back on.
Right I'm gonna look for a place that's peaceful and eat wanna come? Asked Ash.
Paul nodded and Brock did too but Suzy declined as she said she had her own business to do. They accepted and went off.
Ash, Pikachu, Paul, and Brock were walking in the hall when they saw Leaf running toward them.
Ash! She said as she ran up to him and the others.
Hey Leaf what's up? Asked Ash.
Ash did you feel the shockwaves that were vibrating throughout the school rumors say that it was some sort of colossal Pokémon that caused it.
Ash and the others sweat dropped at the statement recalling the battle between Ash and Brock.
I'm out of here this is too social for my taste. Said Paul as he walked away from the group.
Who was that? Asked Leaf.
Don't about him his name is Paul he's not bad guy when you get to know him. Replied Brock.
Oh I didn't recognize you Dr. Harrison what are you doing here?
Call me Brock outside of class it's too formal for me. Asked Brock.
Ok Brock. Said Leaf.
Anyway where are you two heading? She asked.
Looking for a place to eat. Said Ash.
In that case follow me I know a spot. Said Leaf.
Lead the way. Replied Brock.
Ash, Leaf, Pikachu, and Brock were now at the spot Leaf talked about nod and was surprised to see other people there too what was interesting was that they were all people Ash knew.
Ash is that you? Said one of the people.
Ash turned to the one who spoke and saw it was May.
Hey May long time no see! Called out Ash.
May was wearing her usual traveling outfit but she had a blue blazer on.
Nice to see you how's Max doing?
He's doing great actually he's even a student here for the junior high division. Said May.
So that means he's a trainer now? He asked.
Yeah he chose Treecko has his starter. Said May.
Hey Ash wassup man! Said Stephan who was wearing a gold blazer.
Hey Stephan! Greeted Ash.
It's nice to see you again Ash. Said Virgil who has a blue blazer.
Thanks you two.
Well I'd be damned you actually got accepted here. Said Misty who had a blue one too.
Ha ha very funny Misty good to see you too.
Leaf was a confused at this. You know all of them?
Ash nodded. Yeah I met them all during my journey. I won my second badge from Misty.
You got the Kanto badges Ash? Asked Virgil.
Yup won all 8 of them. He said.
Misty and Brock then made a face.
Ours he won out of pity! Said Misty.
Yeeeah that did happened. Said Brock nervously.
Anyway Let's eat! Said Ash.
Itadakimasu! Said Everyone in unison as they all began to eat.
Ash has had his first day at the academy go off with a bang. Wonder what adventures await him as the story continues.
