GPS: Hey, Mew! Guess what?!
Mew: WHAT?!
GPS: Don't use that tone, girl!
Mew: What do you want?
GPS: A surprise in this chapter! You have to wait to find out! I own nothing pertaining to legal rights of this franchise!
Mew: Check out GPS's new story "What a Wonderful Loss"! I'll distribute cookies to those who do!
GPS: ...No, you aren't. Don't fib.
A knock was heard on Mew's door and she sighed. She opened it to see Arceus and sighed yet again. "What now?" she asked in a grumpy tone.
"You know what time it is," he said as he shook his head.
"I gotta get ready for school...right?" she asked rhetorically.
"Yep. Learn from your mistakes and don't repeat that at school if you want to stay out of trouble," said Arceus. "You know that your powers will be restored once you return."
"Yeah, about that," said Mew as she looked downwards a bit shy.
"What is it?" he responded with a roll of his eyes.
"We had gym class and I couldn't use any powers. Can't I at least gain control of one of them so I don't look stupid when gym time comes around?"
"Fine, I'll let you use only one of your moves, but I won't tell you which one it is," he responded as he cooked a scrambled egg sandwich for Mew. He poured her some milk and the same procedure as yesterday occurred; Mew woke up in the front lawn of the school. Plus, she saw her psychic abilities had been drained and couldn't fly! However, on the flip side of this, Mew saw something very interesting: her Hello Skitty backpack was now a My Little Ponyta backpack!
"Hey! I got a new backpack!" shouted Mew with joy as she once again became the center of attention.
"Who cares?" said a Magby who was in the first grade. Mew scoffed and ignored that remark as she looked at the pink lunch box. She opened it and saw a potato salad sandwich with fresh ground pepper and slices of strawberries. There was a thermos filled with tomato soup and a blue Kool-Aid bottle and Mew knew that she couldn't wait till lunch. She turned around and saw someone she had never seen before and a larger Pokemon was standing next to it. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was a small Dratini and a mother Dragonite.
"Now I want you to be a good girl and not cause trouble," said the mother Dragonite as she patted her child's head. The female Dratini nodded and then blew a huge raspberry at her mother followed by a giggle. Dragonite sighed and shook her head. "Please behave...Please?"
Dratini responded by blowing another raspberry and Mew's eyes grew in surprise and smiled. Dratini saw Mew and said, "What are you looking at?"
"My name is Mew. I like the way you disrespected your mom!" she giggled.
"If you think that was funny, you should see the way I disrespect my daddy who is a Garchomp! After all, he's the one who wrecked havoc in Luminose City!" she said as she slid across the lawn and entered the building with the pink kitten.
"Um, where is that?" asked Mew as she scratched her head.
"It's in a distant place called Kalos," said Shannon the Dratini. The two of them entered the classroom where the other nine students were and Mrs. Khan was writing something on the board. She turned around and placed the chalk on the little rail thing underneath it and said,
"First thing I would like to say, we have a new student. Dratini, come up tot he front of the class."
Dratini inched her way up to the front of the class and said, "Hi, I'm Shannon the Dratini. I live in the Safari Zone. My middle name is Grace and I like to eat shrimp and chocolate pie!" The students giggled and Mrs. Khan resumed her lecture.
"Today, class, we will be starting with the alphabet. It is important that you understand the human's alphabet to read and understand signs that they have made to avoid being captured. Plus, it is also-"
"Excuse me!" said Dratini loudly, interrupting the teacher's lecture.
"Yes?" said Mrs. Khan.
"What do you have against humans? My daddy says he loves humans!"
"It's a long story not worth mentioning," said Mrs. Khan.
"Shh! Be quiet!" said Machop as he placed a finger on his lips to hush Dratini.
"Phbbbt!" Dratini made a raspberry sound and the muscular toddler gasped in response to the teal dragon's antics. Mew couldn't help but smile at what Dratini had just done and giggled.
"Very rude manners!" said Mrs. Khan to Dratini while Mew continued to giggle. Mew, who was sitting next to Dratini at the table, elbowed Dratini to get her attention.
"I think we are going to be good friends," whispered Mew.
"Me, too," said Dratini, but a little more loudly than Mew's whisper.
"Shh!" said Machop again and Mime Jr. joined him.
"Phbbt!" was the response of both Dratini and Mew.
"Waaaaaaaaaah!" bawled Machop as he buried his face into his hands. Mime Jr. imitated and buried his face into his pink paddled-shaped hands.
"ENOUGH!" said Mrs. Khan so loudly her baby started crying. "Sorry, baby, I didn't mean to yell. Mew and Dratini, both of you in the opposite corners!"
"Let's resume in gym time," said Mew.
"Okay," said Dratini as they parted ways to two different corners of the classroom. Mrs. Khan did a basic rundown of what the ABC's were and asked the students to recite them with her. Mew and Dratini both participated as well and there were no more interruptions from them.
"Okay, everyone! Sing with me!" said Mrs. Khan as she pointed to the blackboard. "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P. Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z. Now, as I said, there are 26 letters of the alphabet. These are the order they appear in. A is the first letter of the alphabet." She made the different types of vowel sounds A made since it was a very complex letter. "Does anyone know someone whose name starts with A?"
"Mine does!" said Andrew the Machop with a huge smile on his face. "My mommy and daddy both told me my name Andrew means manly. I wanna be a big strong manly Machamp in the future, too! Just like my daddy!"
"Yes, indeed Andrew starts with A!" said Mrs. Khan. They continued running through the alphabet and Dratini kept giggling multiple times and Mew couldn't help but join in as well. The Kangaskhan teacher was reaching near the end of her patience, so she devised an idea to get the giggling dragon and pink kitten out of her theoretical hair.
"Okay, everyone, the time has come for gym glass!" said Mrs. Khan as she went out the door and told the students following them. After a few minutes they finally arrived to the gym and sure enough Coach Machamp was sitting on a chair and reading one of the human's local newspapers on his uPad. (Yes, uPad, it isn't a typo.) He looked up and saw the eleven small Pokemon and smiled as it was now time to do what he did best with not only the small Pokemon (he's a big softy at heart) but with his beloved son.
"All right, everyone, how's y'all's day coming along?" he asked as he put the electronic tablet in a drawer.
"Good!" said everyone and Machop ran up to this dad and hugged him while wagging his stubby grey tail.
Mew waved to Coach Machamp and Machop. The two fighting-type males looked at one another and awkwardly returned this hand gesture. "Look! We got a new classmate today!" exclaimed Mew as she grabbed Dratini's "ear" and dragged her to Coach Machamp.
"Fascinatin'," said Coach Machamp with his southern drawl more prominent than ever. "I never have seen a Dratini up close." He extended his bottom right arm and petted her head. "What's your name?"
"Shannon the Dratini," said the serpentine dragon. She removed her head from his hand and blew a giant raspberry at a very loud decibel, causing him to cover his "ears".
"Oh, boy, hopefully not another trouble maker," he murmured under his breath and released a quiet sigh. He went to the center of the gym and said, "Okay, what we're gonna do today is explore our element type. Everyone here should already know their own type, but some may not know that of others. Let us also discuss evolution and then we can train." (It's a duel education/exercise P.E. class) He placed his lower left arm on his chin and thought for a second. "How about...you?"
He pointed to Jill the Larvitar. The other children turned to her and she pointed to herself. "Me?" she said with a bit of doubt.
"Yes," responded Coach Machamp with a nod. "What is your name?"
"Jill the Larvitar," she said.
"Do you know what your primary type is?" asked Machamp with a smile as his lower arms were on his hips while his upper ones were folded.
"Um...earth?" she asked a bit confused.
"Uh...sorry to say, but there is no such thing as an earth type," said Coach Machamp. "There are Pokemon and types that are based off elements of the earth, but-"
"ELEPHANTS?!" shouted Dratini and the pink female kitten started laughing rambunctiously.
"I said elements," said the Pokemon that embodied the definition of masculinity. "Elements, like rock, ground, steel."
"Ooh..." said Jill. "Um. I think my primary type is ground?"
"Very close. That is your secondary type, and it is handy to have ground in you since you avoid getting zapped with electricity...like my thunderpunch!" Coach Machamp's fist began to glow yellow as electricity was accumulating in his fist. He then gently tapped Jill the Larvitar with his giant hand and she giggled.
"That tickles!" she said.
"Did you feel anything?" he asked with a smile.
"Nothing except a little crackle," she responded.
"And that's the beauty of being a ground type," said Machamp. "Your primary type is rock and your secondary is ground. Keep that in mind, young'n. Now. Let's go through the rest of y'all." Machamp did the same thing with the remaining 10 and sighed with content now that the boring part was out of the way. "Now, I'm gonna divide y'all up into group so y'all can start practicing dueling for stamina."
"Yay!" said Mew as she clapped her hands and laughed. Machop turned to her and said,
"You sure are happy."
"Of course I am!" said the female. "You need to smile more!"
"I do smile!" said Machop defensively. "It's just that...I don't wanna..."
"Now, now, no need to bother mah son," said Machamp as he gently moved Machop out of the way. "Let's see...Mew, you'll get paired with Andrew after all."
"Why, daddy? Why you put me with her?" responded a not-so-happy Andrew the Machop.
"Because you two need to improve your social skills. Plus, you two are conflicting types; Mew has the advantage and it is your job to improve yourself."
Machop looked at the other groups. They included Piplup and Oddish, Bonsley and Charmander, Pikachu and Larvitar, and Mime Jr. and Eevee.
"Why can't I be with Richie the Eevee?" asked Andrew as he frowned.
"Because then Mew would be paired with Mime Jr. and they are both psychic; it just wouldn't be a good match-up, mah son," said Coach Machamp as he patted his son's head, earning a tail wag in response.
All the sudden, a large raspberry was blown by Dratini.
"Well, excuse you," said Piplup. Mime Jr., who was good at imitating others, blew a raspberry at Dratini.
"Oh, come on! Enough of this!" said Machamp as he was shaking his head. "I mean, y'all are little kids, but seriously!"
"You left me out!" said Shannon the Dratini. "Whose group do I join?"
"Just choose whichever one; I honestly don't care," said Coach Machamp. He was a Pokemon who always managed to keep his cool, but the fact that Dratini was being ridiculously annoying and Mew's joining her wasn't really lowering his stress.
"I choose...you!" said Dratini as she went up to Mew and Andrew the Machop.
"Yay!" cheered Mew as she giggled into her face. Mew extended her hand and Dratini wagged her tail and gave Mew her version of a high-five.
"Oh, boy," said both father-and-son fighting types. It was gonna be a long gym class...
GPS: And there you have it! Part one of Mew's new friendship!
Mew: Yay! I got a friend! *giggles and does back-flips*
Andrew the Machop: *sighs* Great...
