HotXbun: Ash will have to deal with more bullying in this chapter.

lucienhalf58: I agree.

Lover of Pokémon: It is.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon, Violetta or Avatar The Last Airbender. But I do own Sky and the Pokémon Academy as well as Ella, my OC introduced in this chapter.

Chapter 42 Hang In There

Ash's POV

I walked into the academy when everybody started laughing at me.

"Look", a guy started. "It's the Pikachu! You ditch the tail?"

With that everybody started laughing again.

Suddenly, Sky walked up to us.

"You clowns done laughing", she asked causing everybody to shut up. "Good."

With that everybody left and Sky walked up to me.

"You okay", she asked.

"Yeah", I replied. "Andy told me to just ignore them."

"Good", Sky stated before leaving.

Suddenly, Gary walked up to me.

"Listen here you", he started. "I don't want you anywhere near my girlfriend!"

"What", I asked in confusion.

"Stay away from Sky", Gary commanded.

I looked at Gary in shock.

"Wait", I said in realization. "Sky is your girlfriend?"

"Yes", Gary replied. "So stay away from her!"

With that Gary stormed off.

Sky is dating him? [Follow Your Heart Extra: I know buddy. I don't get it either.]

May's POV

I was outside practicing a routine.

I was wearing my Pallet House delivery girl uniform that consisted of a baby pink, short sleeved top with two buttons that was buttoned up; white jean shorts; white, knee length socks and baby pink trainers.

My hair was tied into pigtails.

I turned around...and stopped dead in my tracks.

Ella (who was the head of the Coordinator program) was watching me!

She had waist length, purple hair that was straight and loose as well rectangular bangs that covered her forehead; bright blue eyes and pale skin.

She was wearing a white, knee length, sleeveless skater dress; bright blue sneakers with white laces, white tips and white soles over white socks with the ends turned over; a bright blue, long sleeved leather jacket and bright blue, wrist length, fingerless gloves.

Her Sprtzee was standing on her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry", I apologized.

"Sorry", Ella asked in shock. "Why are you sorry? That was amazing!"

This comment made me blush.

"Are you enrolling here", Ella asked.

This made my smile drop.

"No", I replied sadly. "My family can't afford it."

"You could always sign up for a scholarship", Ella pointed out. "I'll talk to Sophie about it."

"You don't have to do that", I stated.

"I know", Ella said. "I want to." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Awe.]

I smiled as Ella walked away.

Suddenly, Ash walked up to me.

"Hey Ash", I greeted "What's up?"

"I couldn't help but overhear what you and Ella were talking about", Ash revealed. "I agree with her."

"Agree on what", I asked in confusion.

"You should enroll here", Ash stated.

"You really think so", I asked.

"I do", Ash replied.

I smiled at this.

"Thanks Ash."

Gary's POV

Belle and I watched May and Ash talk.

"Well well well", Belle started. "It looks like you have competition for May's heart."

I scoffed at this.

"Don't humor me Isabella", I commanded. "I have always beaten Ash. This time will be no different."

HotXbun: Oh no.

Sorry there was only two 'Follow Your Heart Extras.'

Challenge: Tell me what team you're on. Team Ash or Team Gary.

My Answer: Team Ash of course!
