The Chosen of the Self-Learning
In the Principal's office of RPA High, Ash is sitting on the sofa with Aurora on her desk. Ash is drinking a cup of tea and he asks, "So Mother, what do you want to talk about?"
Aurora says, "First of all, next week I am going to set up a three-week activity. But in order to do so, I asked you to look for the top three students of each type, how is it going?"
Ash sighs, "It is not a hard task, I was just disappointed."
"And why is that, my dear?" Aurora raises her eyebrow. Ash says, "Those people stole my Pokemon and killed some of them, but they aren't able to get into the top list? Don't you think that it is unforgivable?"
Aurora sighs and says, "Well, they are just busy acting all high and mighty to others, can't blame you for thinking like that. But that will be better for you, since the teacher of this three-week activity is you, Ash."
"Me?" Ash asks in surprise. "Why me? I am just a student, how can I be a teacher while I am the same age as them and I have to learn as much as them as well?"
"Relax, Ash." Aurora says. "You already live in solitude for a couple of years after the incident, but to tell you the truth, I have been observing you during those days and I can say you self-taught yourself very well."
"If you say so, Mother. But you still didn't tell me what this three-week activity is about." Ash says.
"It is simple. I want you to take these people to your respective houses and train them." This causes Ash to pale and he asks, "That's dangerous, mother. Nobody would dare to go there unless they have a strong heart."
"I know, but as you said, those are the perfect places to train those types of Pokemon. And I trust you to take care of them, but if you are afraid of it, I notice that you gave me four Ice Type members, which means that there are two of them having the third best. So I will let Alice accompany you, is that okay?"
Ash blushes at the thought of being with Alice in his house, he asks, "But why her? I could call Mark to help me as well."
"She almost made you smile, isn't that right, dear?" Aurora asks, causing Ash to blush again. Ash sighs and says, "Yeah...every time when I was with her, I feel like my lost smile is returning to me...but that is still not enough to make me fully laugh like I used to."
"And there is a chance you can fully smile after she accompanies you." Aurora says. "I love you so much and I want you to smile like you used to again."
"Okay, I'll bring her. So how are you going to tell them about this activity?" Ash asks in confusion.
"Simple, I will send e-mails to the students, and I'll ask the School Council President Leon to help you out."
Ash nods as he excuses himself out of the office so he can get back to classes.
During lunchtime, Ash and his friends are having lunch together as Alice asks, "Ash, where were you this whole time? You used to hang out with us and why didn't you do it today?"
"Well, I was at the Student Council, since my mother asks me about something that needs to talk about." Ash says.
"What does Mother want to have you do this thing?" Golly asks.
"It is a secret, but you should check your e-mails." Ash says as they all take out their cellphone and open it. They see a mail and they are surprised to see the e-mail saying One Day Pokemon Camp, and they are confused.
"What is this about? One Day Pokemon Camp?" Mark asks.
Nate says, "It says that due to the fact that you are the Top 1 of the Normal Type Class, so on xx/xx you will be taken to a place so you can learn more about Normal Type Pokemon that isn't taught in books."
"Mine is Electric...does that mean everyone has one?" Elline asks.
Ash smiles, "Well, my mother has picked the top 3 students of each class and you will be taken to the places for the lesson for a day."
Nate says, "And it seems like I am heading to the Lumiose City in the Kalos Region, what about you guys?"
"I am going to Pinwheel Forest of Unova Region." Insey says.
"For me, I am going to Eterna Forest in Sinnoh." Flora says.
"I am going to Whirl Islands in the Johto Region." Reisa says.
"For me, I am going to Mauville City in the Hoenn Region." Elline says.
"I am going to Haina Desert of the Alola Region." Trenor says.
"I am heading to Iron Island in Sinnoh." David says.
"Mt. Moon in the Kanto Region." Luke says.
"For me, I am going to Mt. Chimney in the Hoenn Region." Helen says.
"I am also in Hoenn, but I am in Mt. Pyre." Golly says.
"I am going to Kalos Canyon in the Kalos Region." East says.
"And for me, I am going to the Virbank City in Unova." Tox says.
"I am going to Ilex Forest in Johto." Daniel says.
"And I am going to the Galar Region, the place is Glimwood Tangle." Minami says.
"I am in Mt. Silver in the Johto Region, that was kinda strange." Eve says.
"And for me, I am going to the Lake of Outrage in the Galar Region." Daniel says.
"And I am going to Rota, it sure has been a while since I went there." Mark says.
Alice doesn't say anything and Eve asks, "Alice, what about you?"
Alice frowns and says, "I didn't get an e-mail for it." This causes surprise to the others. "What do you mean? You are the Ice Type Elite 4 and you should have taken first place in the Ice Type class..."
"Ash, what is the big idea?" Flora asks, feeling unfair to her sister.
Ash says, "To tell you the truth. Mother wants me to be the teacher in this three-week activity, for you for only one day, but due to the fact that I needed to recover and Alice was chosen to accompany me. Meaning that she will be with me throughout all 18 places."
This causes Alice to be surprised and shocked, the others are starting to feel jealous and Alice asks, "Why me? I mean, Ms. Ketchum could have asked one of your siblings to be the one."
"But whenever I was with you, I feel like the old me is about to come back. I told my mother about this and she thinks that maybe you could help me get my smile back." Ash says, causing her to blush since she also vows to get Ash's smile back.
"Good for you. Though it is still a surprise that you aren't a couple yet." Reisa says.
Alice yells, "Reisa, what are you talking about?"
"I wanted to ask you the same question, but seems like Alice beats me to it." Alice gives a sigh and Ash says, "I mean, we already confessed with each other and we are actually in a relationship."
"What?" Alice yelps in surprise as the others are in shock as well. Eve asks, "When and how did it happen? How come we didn't know anything about it?"
Ash says, "You just forgot about it, I confessed to her the same time I gave her the locket."
Alice pales as she forgot all about it, she rushes to leave and the others notice that she is crying. "Alice, wait up!" Ash quickly chases her as the others just give them a confused look.
"Are we inside of a love novel or something?" Daniel asks after a silence.
"How come I didn't go into the Water Special Class?" Misty is yelling at Leon, along with Iris, Clemont, Brock, Kiawe, and Mallow. They see the billboard and they are furious that they aren't the top students in their respective classes.
Leon says, "The reason is simple, you claim that you are the strongest students in class, but there are still people being stronger than you. I don't see the reason why I should let you in."
"But they aren't as good as us, how come they are able to go while we can't, just give us another chance." Clemont says.
"That isn't for me to decide." Leon says. "If you want to know, Ash Ketchum is the one that chooses these students. And it is reasonable why he didn't choose you. From what I heard, you stole his Pokemon and even killed some of them, but without evidence, you all escape the law. You are lucky that he didn't get his revenge on you."
The bullies are furious that the setup is made by Ash, and they decide to find him and demand him, Leon sighs and says, "Idiots..."
"Alice, open the door please." Ash knocks on his room door as it is locked by Alice. Alice says, "Go away, Ash. I don't deserve to be your girlfriend."
"What are you talking about?" Ash says, "We both confessed to each other and we are happy that we got reunited. What do you mean you don't deserve it? Please let me in, I want to know why you are like this."
After banging the door, Alice manages to open it and Ash notices her teary face. Alice says, "I forgot how we confessed, I feel sorry for you. That's why I don't deserve to be your girlfriend."
Ash says, "That is the reason? You shouldn't worry about that. What matters is the fact that we are both happy when we are together. Why are you caring about how we confess?"
Alice says, "Because I broke your heart! I broke your heart by forgetting how we confess, that's why!"
Ash gives her a kiss on the lips and he says, "Alice, my heart is already broken because of those bullies. You forgetting about how we met isn't going to bother me, sadness isn't good for you, so please, don't cry."
Alice sniffs and looks at Ash, "And how do you know? What if I find another person and cheated on you? Are you sure you won't mind about that as well?"
Ash says, "The Alice I know is not some kind of mean person like you said. I trust the Alice I know. So don't you worry about it."
Alice realizes that Ash is truly loving her as his girlfriend. They share a kiss again and then Ash asks, "Are you feeling better?"
Alice nods and says, "Thank you, Ash. For believing me and for everything. I want to come with you to those houses as well, so we can be together."
Ash nods and they quickly head back to the others so that they won't be worrying about anything.
But just as they find the others, they are confronted by the bullies as they demand to see Ash. Ash says, "Here I am." This causes everyone to look at him. "Now what do you guys want?"
"How dare you didn't give us the chance to these so-called special classes?" Iris yells at him. Ash says, "Simple, you don't deserve being in these classes. Your grades might be able to fit in with the talented students, but your attitude makes the reason why you can't go."
"How dare you..." Kiawe yells back. Ash says, "No, how dare you try to sabotage the others' chance of reaching new heights. These students all work hard for it and you just wanted to deprive them of the list for your own gain."
He turns to the others and says, "Ignore them, let's go back to our classes." The others agree as they leave the shocked and angry traitors alone.
And here is the new chapter. The next chapter it will be about Ash's past and my other OCs. I hope you like it.
