(Freddie's POV)

This is probably the best day of my life! No tick baths, no safety stuff. It's all about battles and catching.

"Before you leave to go anywhere, you three go to Jubilife to go to the Trainer School. There you will learn all about potions , TMs, HMs, evolutions, etc..," Spencer added.

"School?" Sam asked.

"Sam, you get to fight the school kids with your Pokemon," Spencer persuaded.

"Awesome, my dream was to fight the nerds in school. Are you psychic or something?" Sam inquired.

"Maybe," Spencer teased.

"Let's just go already," Carly said.

I wonder why I haven't been here. I mean, Spencer knows, but what about Carly? If Spencer trained here when he was young, where's Carly?

Well, I should just stop thinking and start training.

"Hey, wait up!" I shouted while catching up to Carly and Sam.

(Sam's POV)

While we were walking to what they call "Jubilife City", Freddie caught some Pokemon. I stole his caught Pokemon, so he had to catch the same Pokemon twice.

Once we got to school, the teacher gave us seats and the lessons begin...

Instead of sleeping, I'm going to actually listen to the teacher.

If you were wondering why, it's because of the fact that you beat up losers' Pokemon!

"For the first lesson, you will learn about potions, the different types of Pokeballs, and types of Pokemon," the teacher explained.

"Will we do Pokemon battles today?" I asked.

"If we have the time, Ms. Puckett," he answered. "Now, on to the potions."

After an hour...

"Now, class. That's all for today. As Ms. Puckett mention before, we will hold a Pokemon battle. Ms. Puckett, choose your opponent."

"Anyone here except Carly."

"Ok, Mr. Benson. You fight."

"Oh, no. I'm not fighting Sam again," Fredward responded.

"I would like to battle Sam," a voice said.

"Ah, Barry. Of course you can battle Ms. Puckett."

"Barry?" I asked.

"I want to be the greatest Pokemon trainer in the world!" he shouted.

"I doubt that!" I shouted back.

A few minutes later...

"And the winner is Ms. Puckett!" the teacher said.

"Yeah! Told you you're not the greatest!" I shouted.

"Well, I'll battle you the next time we see again, Sam," Barry said.

"Or, maybe you could give me some trainer tips?" I suggested.

"I'd love to. Meet me at my house near Twinleaf later, okay?"

"Sure."

(Barry's POV)

At Barry's house...

What's wrong with me?

Something feels different...

Is it because Sam Puckett is here?

I overheard that she's the meanest bully around Seattle, and possibly the world.

Now she's here to train as a Pokemon Trainer...

"But, I'm going to capture the Red Gyarados first!" I shouted.

"Red Gyarados? What's that?"

I turned around, and I saw Sam.

I sighed, and answered, "A Red Gyaradosis probably the rarest Pokemon ever. There is only one Red Gyarados around, and it happens that it's living here."

"Well, can I help you catch it. Then, if I do catch it, I'll let you keep it, even though that was the only Red Gyaradosin the world."

"Really? You would try to catch the rarest Pokemon for me?" I felt shocked.

"Since you look so desperate, yeah. Why not? How hard can it possibly be?"

"Uh, very hard? I mean, you can't even track it down! But, I'm not saying that it's impossible, just very hard," I shrugged.

"Well, whatever it takes, I'm still catching a Red Gyarados."

"I want to see you try," I said.

"Really? You'll see!"

"Wanna bet?" I asked.

"Yeah. Whoever catches the Red Gyarados first keeps it!" Sam answered.

"You got yourself a deal." I held out my hand.

Sam spit on her hand, then shook my hand with that hand.

That is so disjusting. I just hope I get used to it.

(Spencer's POV)

At the lab...

"Professor Shay, I have news," Professor Rowan announces.

"What is it, Rowan?"

"It seems that there is a new region that has not been explored. They call it the 'Isshu' region."

"What Pokemon are there?"

"Don't know. But, we need to send Pokemon Trainers there."

"Maybe we should send Carly, Sam, Freddie, Dawn, Lucas, and even Barry," I suggest.

"Are you insane? Carly, Sam and Freddie aren't even ready to catch high-level Pokemon, and you want to send them to this unknown region?"

"I'll go with them, then."

"One more thing, though. The language there is Japanese."

"No worries, Rowan, I've been training myself to speak Japanese."

Flashback...

"Konnichiwa. O-genki desu ka?"

"O-gen ki what?"

"I'm sorry."

Then, the neck-electrifying-thing shocked me.

End of flashback...

"Okay, then. Get the trainers, and get them here. Oh, wait. I have an incoming message. It seems that there is a professor in the Isshu region. His name is Professor Araragi."

"So, when we get there, we have to find Araragi?"

"Guess so. Now go! The less time you waste, the more time you get to spend at the Isshu region!"

"Okay, okay! I choose you, Pidgeot!" I throw out a Great Ball.
