Hi guys: just thought I should say before we dive into things: I got my inspiration for this story from a post on a Diodeshipping website I found: someone was talking about how Clemont could be a science teacher and Ash a gym teacher, and then the idea got stuck in my head. Therefore, I decided to write a fanfic about it, and god bless the fabulous specimen that came up with the idea - I salute them wholeheartedly! Anyway. Clemont and Ash are both young adults in this, and I have changed some of the character's personalities as you'll see in the story. I hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave any suggestions and feedback. Here we go!

Clemont's PoV.

"Bonnie! Have you seen my bag?" I shout to my 14 year old sister who looks at me, replying in exasperation: "The door Clemont. You left everything you need by the door. Is your phone in your pocket?"

"Erm... yup!" I grin, holding it up and nearly throwing it into the fridge in excitement. "Go go go GO! You're going to be late to school!" The younger girl cries; I looked at her and say nervously: "Well... ok. HEY: you're also going to be late young lady!" She laughs cheekily and rushes out: I grab my already packed bag and leave too. I can vaguely hear my father telling me to have a good day, but befire I can respond the door has already swung closed with a 'click' behind me. Spotting my bus, I run up to it and get on nervously, thrilled to be finally going back to school!

Sitting on the bus floor like normal, I reminisce of my life story befire now: I graduated from university years ago, bring the youngest graduate in Kalos history at 15 years old! I got a degree in Science and Mechanics, and I've worked in many different places. But a few years ago, I decided to try and go for a teaching job, enrolling myself in a Teacher Training course! Today, I'm starting my new job at Kalos Primary school! It's gonna be AWESOME! But... I'm scared of it as well! What if the kids don't like me? What if the order teachers don't like me? What if I can't teach the kids anything? What if -

"Hey! Are you ok?" I hear a voice from behind me - oh god I've lost time! I've just been sat on the floor for nearly 15 minutes now!

"I'm... well, yes, sorry about that!" I reply, hastily getting up and running to the bus door so I can actually focus on arriving at the right place! I really don't want to show up late on my first day...

When I walk in, a man with dark blue hair shakes my hand and asks: "Hello - are you lost?"

"Yes sir... are you Principle Sycamore please?" I ask nervously - the man chuckles and nods, shaking my hand vigorously and saying: "Clemont, I presume? Yes; I'm the principal. But please. Call me Augustine." I nod in terror as a few young children come running down the corridor yelling and chatting.

"Are they...?" I try to speak but it seemed like the words just got stuck in my throat! Principle Sycamore laughs and says happily;

"A few of your students, yes. Don't worry - we're a small school so you'll get to know them all in time! Only 5 classes in the entire school; you teach them twice a week. 4 lessons per day, 5 days per week. That means during the school week, half your lessons are teaching, and half are free periods! I dare say there'll be challenges though, yet I have faith in you Clemont! I believe you can do this - the kids will love you! They aren't a bad lot, but the 16 year olds can be a handful! Typically, we don't have students older than that here, and our youngest students are 11. Erm.. is this all going in?"

"Erm... yes sir! Whether it's going in the right place is a mystery though..." I reply nervously - the principle laughs before showing me to the staff room.

When we get there, I smile nervously at a large group of adults; a portly man waved and says happily: "The science teacher?"

"Yup - at least, he looks like one!" Another teacher replies: a tall man with brown skin and black hair with crystals in it. "Bit young though, aren't you? My kid's nearly your age!"

"My GRANDKID'S nearly his age!" A short man with grey hair and a walking stick chuckles: a lot of the teachers laugh at this including 2 ladies with blond hair, a woman with black pigtails and an older woman with purple hair and rather a majestic manner about her. I admit, this is terrifying!

"Right Clemont: the oldest man is called Ramos; the purple haired lady is Olympia; the youngest blond - well now technically second youngest blond is Korrina - the other blond is Viola; Grant is the dark man with the crazy hair -"

"Sup!" He says, raising a hand to me - I shakily raise mine back as the principle continues:

"Wolfric is the man over there; Valerie is the black haired girl; and where on the sodding planet is our bloody gym teacher?"

"TRAINING." They all replies in unison - I get confused as of who this mystery gym teacher is! However, right as Valerie and Korrina pull me over towards them for a conversation, the door is flung open and a man runs in... WHOAH!

His skin is tanned and muscled; his black hair shines in the light, and I see sweat running down his face - presumably from this training I heard of. He's wearing a black and dark blue t-shirt, and black trousers; typical athletic clothing, and has a big cheesy grin on his face! He's also noticeably younger than the other teachers, and could probably be a model if he wanted! He's so... good looking? There's a different word that comes to mind but I'm not sure if it's a good one to use... but the word I think of is Hot! But... that makes it sound like I'm into him; and I don't date boys... right?! As he strides towards me, I try to squirm away as I realise what's coming but it's too late - before I know it, I'm in a headlock.

"Yo - nerd! You be the scientist bro hired to teach the midgets about blowing stuff up!"

"Science is a lot more complicated than blowing stuff up Ash! And what is with that grammar?!" Korrina groans. She's only a few years older than me - maybe 5 years older or so? Ash on the other hand looks around 24 - I'm only 23, so he's probably very close to being my age!

"Ash?" I ask, in awe at how cute his name is. Wait: cute? What's going on with me?! Why do I feel flushed all of a sudden - what is Ash doing to me?!

Ash's PoV.

Whew! 45 minute run around the field before school; a few stretches, pulse-raisers: the usual warmup. Aw man, I could do with a coffee... ah yeah. The staff room! Where all the good biscuits are - providing Korrina's not scoffed them all! Anyway, I run into the room and there's a new boy in there: shiny blond hair, large oversized glasses, black trousers with a white shirt and blue overcoat with ocean blue eyes. Wait why am I staring at his eyes? Oh no - he looks terrified! Ah yes; I know! The good ol' friendly headlock ought to make him feel welcome! I rush up to him and pull my signature stunt!

"Yo - nerd! You be the scientist bro hired to teach the midgets about blowing stuff up!" I grin, hoping that he'd warm up to me. I'll admit; he's so tiny, and small, and adorable! What what the heck?! Adorable?! Does this make me gay? Am I gay? Oh cool - I might be gay! Hmm, I know! I'll ask my girlfriend about it later and see what she thinks.

"Science is a lot more complicated than blowing stuff up Ash! And what is with that grammar?!" Korrina groans at me - like I'm supposed to care about grammar! I shake my head and release the nerd from the headlock, extending my hand and saying;

"Ash."

"C-Clemont..." he replies shakily. Maybe I scared him...? Hey ho - you live and you learn.

"Do you have a timetable and shit?" I ask cockily - then I jump as I hear my boss say:

"Ah yes: here we go Clemont! Thank you for reminding me Ash - although I disapprove of the vulgar language."

"Hehe..." I reply, rubbing my hand on the back of my head in embarrassment like I usually do. Clemont blushes as I take his hand and drag him out of the door, yelling;

"I'LL SHOW YOU AROUND THE SCHOOL!"
