Ash's Pov (August 31st)

"Pika Pi!"

I groaned, feeling a tail tickling my nose. I sneezed, Pikachu laughing. "Very funny Pikachu." I got up from bed, sighing and going to the mirror. I'm Ash Ketchum, 17, and my dream is to be a Pokémon Trainer. I never achieved that dream though, not yet anyways. I ran a hand through my black hair, staring back at myself in the mirror. I had brown eyes, or hazel, nothing really special though. "Pika Pi!" I smiled. My trusty partner was Pikachu, we've been through so much together. I don't know where I'd be without him.

"Ash! Come and get your breakfast!" I walked down the stairs, passing by Mr Mime as he swept the floor. I sat at the table, smiling at the plates of pancakes on the table. I handed Pikachu the ketchup bottle, the yellow mouse happily taking it. How someone could ever like ketchup on pancakes, I'll never know. "So Ash, you never did tell me how your adventure in Sinnoh was. Your mother wants to know about everything you did!" My mother, Delia Ketchum, said. I smiled. "It was good mom. I almost could've won.." She smiled now. "I know you can do it though Ash. I believe in you."

Ever since I was ten, I've been on my Pokémon journey. I traveled through Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. I would've traveled to Unova from Sinnoh, but I decided that I'd come home first, besides, I'm happy with how far I have gotten so far in my journey. I met amazing friends, rivals, and had a blast so far. "How have you been mom?" She smiled. "Good, I missed my little boy though. Everyone in Pallet Town is proud of you, Ash."

I loved my hometown. Pallet Town, Kanto. A beautiful town, where the grass is always shining, and the air is nice and fresh. A perfect place to start your adventure. I finished my pancakes, Pikachu cheered happily, carrying the bottle as he jumped on my shoulder. I fixed my hat, nodding. I wore a red and black hat with half a blue pokeball on it, a black sleeveless jacket over a white shirt, the collar sticking up and blue jeans with black and red shoes. I had open finger gloves on to, which were black. "I'm going out mom! I want to visit Prof Oak!" "Okay, bye Ash!"

I walked out of the door, me and Pikachu breathing in the clean, fresh air of Pallet Town. "Ready Pikachu?" "Pika!" I ran towards the lab, running past houses. People waved at me, and I waved back. Kids were playing with their parent's Pokémon, laughing and having fun. I smiled, this town is amazing. I walked up the steps to the lab, knocking on the door. "Hold on!" I heard a crash, the door opening. "Oh, hello Ash!" Prof Oak said. I chuckled. "Hi professor." I walked in, sitting on the couch as he sat across from me. "I was wondering when you would come over."

"Sorry, I was sleeping. It feels good to be home." He chuckled, smiling. Prof Oak hasn't really changed at all. Same gray hair, same height. Someone came walking down the stairs, smiling. "Hi Ash!" Daisy. She had brown hair the reached mid back, green eyes as well. She is a Pokémon coordinator, a famous one at that. One of the best. "Hello Daisy." She smiled, sitting down. "How was your journey?" "Good." Prof Oak chuckled. "Now, I want to see your Pokedex." I handed it to him. I never caught a lot of Pokémon, but I have enough. He smiled. "All these Sinnoh Pokémon, good for research. Thank you Ash." I nodded, smiling. "Pika Pi!" Pikachu ran up to Prof Oak, the old man chuckling. "Hello Pikachu, how are you?" "Pika! Pika chu Pi!" I laughed.

I looked around, sighing. "It feels like yesterday when I first got Pikachu. I'll never forget that day." Professor Oak gave me my Pokedex back. "What is your team now?" I smiled. "I'll show you." We walked outside. I grabbed my pokeballs, throwing them into the air. "Everybody, come on out!" The capsules opened, white light emitting from them and forming into shapes of Pokémon. "Tauros!" "Staraptor!" "Infernape!" "Sceptile.." "Gliscor!" My Pokémon cried out. I smiled, I'm proud of them.

"Oh! You mixed up your team, nicely done." I nodded, my Pokémon looking at Prof Oak in confusion. "Guys, this is Prof Oak!" They greeted him, Daisy walking out with Pokémon food. "You all must be hungry, eat up." I smiled, watching my Pokémon eat. I sat in the grass. "You've grown since we've last seen you. I remember when you were ten, starting your journey!" I chuckled along with Prof Oak, Pikachu sharing ketchup with Infernape.

"How has everyone been Professor?" He smiled. "Daisy and I have been fine, Gary has been his usual self, but otherwise fine." Speaking of Gary.. "Where is Gary?" Prof Oak sighed. "I believe he is in the forest. He thought he saw a rare Pokémon. He should be back in a few minutes." I nodded. Gary and I have been childhood friends since I moved here. Our parents became close immediately, apparently knowing each other from long ago. I stared up at the clear sky, the Pidgey flying by. "I feel like I'm old. The way these memories are hitting me." Prof Oak laughed at my comment, smiling. "I feel like that when I see the trainers I have chosen. I feel pride, I feel success. I also feel sadness, because you all had to grow up so fast." I laughed.

I got up, stretching as I saw a familiar figure walking towards us. I smiled as he smirked. "Hey Ash!" "Hey Gary!" Gary, 17, had green eyes and dangerous spiky brown hair. His hair seemed to have grown more, covering his eye sometimes and more sharp. He wore a black shirt, the collar up, just like mine. He had purple cargo pants on, a white and somewhat gray bag around his waist. He had purple wristbands on, and black shoes. He still had the necklace on. I always wondered why that necklace is so important to him..

"How have you been Gary?" He shrugged, "Fine I guess. Could be better." I nodded, deciding to not ask him why he said it could be better. He seemed thankful for that, I knew he didn't want to talk about it. "So, how has your research been? What is your team now, I haven't seen it in a while." He chuckled, sitting in the grass. "My research has been great, helped gramps a lot. My team? Well I'll show you." He grabbed six pokeballs, throwing them into the air. They formed into six figures, cries emitting from them. "Blastoise!" "Umbre!" "Scizor.." "Arcanine!" "Nidoking!" "Electivire!" Ah, so this is his team. I smiled.

"You can already see my team over there." He nodded, looking. "Looks powerful." "Just like your team." We laughed, sighing as we stared up at the sky. "You know. I didn't think we'd get far when we started our journey." I nodded in agreement. I didn't think we'd get far at all. I'm happy we did though. "Boys." We looked up, seeing Prof Oak there. "I need to discuss some things with you. It is very important!" We nodded, getting up. "Hey sis." "Hey Gary! I'll feed your Pokémon." He nodded as we walked in, sitting back down on the couch.

Professor Oak sighed. "Have you heard of Cinnabar Academy?" We nodded. The place where the best of the best go to. The island only allows people onto it for them to challenge the gym. Other than that, the island is blocked off for the academy. "Well, I got a letter asking for students to come. Apparently, there is a tournament going on, plus they need more students. I decided you two should go." I thought about it. I'd like to go.

I'm not going alone though. Gary nodded. "I'll go. Maybe we'll experience something new there." Professor Oak smiled. "Good. I don't know much about the tournament, I'm guessing you'll learn more about it over there." We nodded, Pikachu letting off sparks in determination. "So, do you know anything about it?" He nodded. "You'll need your Pokémon team, which you have. You'll also need a team for the tournament." I nodded, remembering that.

"Okay then." Daisy walked back in, walking by. "I'm going to start cooking soon, I'll make sure to make enough for Ash." She teased. I rolled my eyes while Gary laughed. "You'll take either a boat, or fly there. You'll be over there in a few days." I got up, stretching. "Do you know anyone else that will be there?" Professor Oak looked like he was about to answer, when he smiled. "No.." I nodded, while Gary frowned. Maybe he noticed something. "Pikapi?" I sighed, rubbing his head. "I'm okay buddy, just thinking. "Do I need to update my trainer card?" Prof Oak nodded, and I handed him the card. He went to his computer, Gary yawning.

"I already updated my card. I hope it'll be worth it. I don't want to go just to be bored to death." I sat back down, Pikachu falling asleep on my lap. Minutes passed, and Professor Oak finally came back. "I updated your card. I'll be there though, so they should tell you who to go to." I nodded, while Gary got up. "I'm going to go work on some more research soon, or after we eat." He said, seeing Daisy bringing the food. "Enjoy you guys." We started eating, and I realized that I was still hungry. Again.

After spending a few more hours here at the Oak house, I left. I learned a few things. The tournament has a huge surprise, something about new ranking. Also, you will not be able to change teams, or leave. You need to complete it.

Misty's Pov

I walked towards the door, picking up the mail, opening it.

Dear Misty of Cerulean City Gym,

We would like for you to attend the Cinnabar Academy opening ceremony. We would also like if you would join the Academy. There are many things going on at this prestigious school. You can learn new tactics, contest appeals, breeding tips, and take part in the tournament to win the new ranks. We would appreciate it if you would consider this offer, so we hope to see you there.

-Cinnabar Academy

An academy, huh? Attending the ceremony.. Sounds good I guess. I'm Misty Waterflower, 17. I have orange hair in a side ponytail and sea green eyes. I was wearing a yellow sleeveless top with a large blue button on the top and matching shorts, along with short orange boots. I sighed, looking at the letter once more. I'll go to the ceremony, but I don't know if I'll attend. Either way, I believe the Pokémon League will tell me I have to go anyways. I do have to listen to my superiors anyways.

I wonder if Ash will be there? He probably won't be there. He is busy traveling the world, meeting other people. I'm happy for him though, he gets to enjoy traveling. He gets to meet people and make new friends, get new Pokémon. It must be fun. I wish I could travel with him though, but I guess I'll get my chance in the future. Whenever that will be. "Azurill!" I smiled, picking up my Pokémon. "Are you okay Azurill?" It chirped happily, and I laughed. I loved my Pokémon, and I loved being a Gym Leader, it was amazing. I did miss traveling with Ash though, through Kanto.. I wish I could travel with him again..

"Azuri?" I snapped out of my thoughts, smiling tiredly. "I'm fine Azurill. Just thinking." I walked towards the pool in the gym, smiling as the largest of my Pokémon surfaced. "Gyarados!" I pet Gyarados's head, the Pokémon grumbling in response. I smiled. I got my trainer card out, sighing in relief. It's still updated, good. Azurill jumped in the water, swimming happily as Gyarados watched. "I'm going to need you guys to line up!" I called.

All my Pokémon surfaced, staring expectantly. I smiled. "Who would like to leave with me? We won't be coming back for a while though." Immediately some dived back down, and I giggled. Thats okay, some will want to come. I saw six still surfaced. Gyarados, Politoed, Azurill, Starmie, Staryu, and Corsola. "You guys are the best." I recalled them to their pokeballs, sighing as I walked into the living room. My sisters would be home later, they'd see the note I left on the door.

I walked out of the gym, moving out of the way as kids ran past me, laughing and enjoying their freedom. I smiled. The river ran fast, people walking in and out of the bike shop. The trees were beautiful, and the atmosphere was amazing. The sky shined brightly as well. I suddenly remembered something. I have no way of getting to Cinnabar Island. Oh well, might as well go to the League and see if anything is going on.

I stared heading towards there. I swear I saw Ash, but I guess it was just my imagination. "Azurill Azu!" Azurill jumped happily, running ahead as she knew where we were going. I ran after her, laughing as she tripped. "Don't rush next time." "Azurill!" We walked towards Viridian, going through Pewter City. I remember Brock and his nonstop flirting. I smiled sadly at the memories.

I finally made it to Viridian, happy to be out of that forest. I hate bugs. I sighed, sitting down and taking a rest. I looked at the road leading to the League, smiling. It always brought memories.

"Azurill Az!" "I know, we are almost there." I got back up, heading towards the road. I smiled. Even if it was tiring, these meetings were somewhat fun, always sharing laughs here and there. I walked past the security, going towards the huge building. I walked in, seeing Brock there. "Oh, hey Brock. Is there a meeting going on?" He shrugged. "I don't know, but I saw some pretty girls!" I rolled my eyes, smiling. I sat down as I Azurill fell asleep in my arms.

I wonder what the meeting will be about.

Dawn's Pov

"Dawn! You have a letter in the mail!" I'm Dawn Berlitz, 16. I have blue, mid back hair and cobalt blue eyes. I'm wearing a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside and a short pink skirt. I have my favourite beanie on, which is white with a pink pokeball print on it. I have pink knee-high boots on with black socks underneath. Yay, i described myself~

I ran downstairs, running into my mom. She shrieked in surprise, dropping clothing everywhere. "Dawn!" I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry.." She shook her head, handing me a letter. "Check it out." I ran back upstairs, smiling excitedly. Could this be a love letter? Probably not but whatever! "Piplup pip!" Piplup jumped up, landing on my lap. I giggled. "Read this with me Piplup!" I started looking through it, my eyes widening.

Dear Dawn Berlitz,

We of Cinnabar Academy would be honoured if you were to attend our school. You can learn many new things here related to contests. Appeals, battle styles, environments, clothing tips, and more. There is also a tournament going on, mixing battlers and coordinators together. The first team to win will earn the new rank. We hope you will consider joining our academy. Thank you.

-Cinnabar Academy

I squealed. I heard of this Academy, and I never expected to be offered to join. New appeals, battle styles, environment training, clothing tips. Count me in! I'm surprised though, I only ever won one Grand Festival. May won two, so I hope she is going to be there as well. I quickly got up, brushing my hair as Piplup cheered happily. "I'm excited Piplup! Its going to be a whole new experience!" "Piplup!" I smiled. Now, I need to make sure my Trainer Card and Contest Pass are updated.

I checked them, smiling. Still updated, good! Now, which Pokémon will I take? I grabbed my pokeballs, sighing. I know they'll come with me, or at least I hope they will. I threw the pokeballs out the window, running out as they formed into shapes. "Hey guys! I want to know who wants to come with me to an academy?" They all cheered, "Mamoswine!" "Quilava!" "Togekiss!" "Buneary!" "Pachi Pachi!" I smiled. They always stood by my side. I love them.

"Thanks guys. This won't be a walk in the park though. This academy is where the best of the best go. There may be better, more powerful coordinators there, we'll just have to do our best!" My Pokémon cried in agreement, and I headed inside to get them food. I headed back out, handing them the food as my mom joined me. "What was the letter about?" I smiled.

"I got accepted into Cinnabar Academy. I'm not going to be able to leave, unless they allow people to leave when it is the holidays. I'll make sure to call you sometimes though." My mother laughed, hugging me tightly. "That's my girl. You are going to achieve big things there, I know it." I nodded.

The leaves flew in the wind, the grass swaying. I looked around the little town, smiling softly. Twinleaf town. I'm going to miss this place, but I know taking the chance to go to the academy will be worth it. The Starly flew past, chirping happily as the sun shined down. I'm going to miss Sinnoh a whole bunch, but Cinnabar will be worth it.

"Honey, just be proud of where you come from." I nodded. I wasn't rich, or royalty or in a high class per say, but that didn't mean I wasn't one of the best. I may not be the region's princess, like May, but I'm still one of the best.

Speaking of May, I wonder how she is..

May's Pov

I'm May Maple, 16. I have brown hair, that many people tell me look like dog ears, but this is my favorite hair style so I smile. I have sapphire blue eyes as well. I'm wearing a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around my neck, dark blue bike shorts, a white skirt, and red and yellow sneakers. I have a red bandana on, that has a white pokeball print. I also have a yellow waistpack on and dark blue and white gloves on. "May! Stop talking out loud!"

"Sorry Max!" I sighed, getting up and heading out the door. The short grass tickled my leg as I sat down, the smell of the ocean hitting my nose. Even if we didn't live directly near the ocean, Littleroot Town always had this smell in the air. I loved it though, because the air was also fresh, and different. "Blaziken.." I smiled at my starter Pokémon, which sat next to me. "Blaziken, I wonder what we should do.." Mom came running out the door, squealing like a maniac as my father joined us. "May! May, you won't believe it! Read this!" I grabbed the letter, dropping it in shock.

I squealed with her, my father looking confused. He grabbed the letter. He started squealing as well, all of us jumping around like idiots. "My daughter is going to Cinnabar Academy! I'm so proud of you!" I nodded, excited. "Is my trainer card updated though?" Norman nodded, smiling. "I updated it a few weeks ago, I don't know about your contest pass though." I handed it to him as he went to go update it. Mom dragged me inside, literally throwing me onto the couch.

"Which Pokémon are you taking with you?" I could only take six, of course. I would have to leave one behind, but who? One that couldn't handle the heat of Cinnabar Island. Venasaur. Oh well.. "I'll take Blaziken, Glaceon, Beautifly, Munchlax, Skitty and Wartortle." Mom nodded, smiling. "I'll take care of Venasaur then!" I handed her his pokeball, smiling. "I need to buy the ticket there though. I hope it isn't to expensive." Mom smiled. "It shouldn't be. I'll check." I nodded, going upstairs to my room. My Pokegear was laying on the table, the red cover shining brightly. I switched my Pokenav for it, and I was happy with the trade.

I searched through it, seeing Dawn's number. I quickly texted her, getting a response a second later. She got the same letter, and I couldn't help but sigh in relief. I wouldn't be alone in that intimidating place, good. "Skitty ski!" I smiled, picking up Skitty. "Its going to be fun Skitty, the academy. I'm sure all of our friends will be there. I know they will be." Skitty purred in content, curling up and sleeping. I laughed, picking her up and placing her on my bed. I quickly opened my window, the wind hitting my hair, making it sway. I'm going to miss Hoenn, but it is worth it. I think it is extremely worth it, I'll get to learn new appeals.

It'll help me become a better coordinator, I'll be able to gain confidence. I'll train with Dawn, and take part in the tournament.

It'll be fun.

Ash's Pov (The next day, September 1st)

Today we were heading to Vermillion City, to get on the ship heading towards Cinnabar. Gary was next to me, humming some tune I never heard. We walked past trainers, Poliwag swimming in the rivers and Magikarp jumping out of the water. I could smell the sea, and it made me smile. The ocean was always so beautiful. "Hey Ash, you think anyone we know will be there?" I shrugged. "Hopefully. I don't want to form a team with someone I don't know." He nodded in agreement, his Umbreon walking next to him. Pikachu was sitting on my shoulder, making funny faces.

We made it into Vermillion City, which looked as lively as ever. The waves of the ocean hit land, splashing upwards before going back down once more. I looked to the left, seeing the Machop from a while back, still making the land flat. I wonder how that old man is doing. "Our ship doesn't come until six. It's four now, want to go get something to eat? Or just watch TV in the Pokémon Center?" I nodded. My legs were killing me.

Gary walked ahead, walking into the center as I followed him. I sat down on the plush seats, sighing in relief. The light blue walls seemed to be repainted, and it made me feel comfortable. The pc and healing machine beeped now and then, trainers brushing their Pokémon and feeding them. I love Pokémon Centers. Gary's Umbreon sat down with Pikachu, talking animatedly. I chuckled.

"I'm hoping it won't be to difficult. I know it is for the best of the best, but I don't know. I guess I'm nervous." He nodded, sighing. "Remember though. You are the second runner-up of the League, and I'm the first." I nodded, sighing. We both lost in the end, but at least we were still runner-ups. That meant something.

Gary sighed, his hair swaying a little as he turned his head. "I remember I used to be such a rude person. Arrogant, cocky, thinking I was the best. I guess traveling really does change you, make you different and all." I nodded. He was still arrogant sometimes, but if anything he became more nice, more helpful and everything. I changed I guess. Changed from being somewhat dense to more smart I think. "Pika!" Pikachu leaped off my shoulder, running away. "Pikachu! Where are you going?!" I quickly ran after him.

I finally found him, seeing him pout. "What was it buddy?" Pikachu pointed towards the crowd. "Pika pi.." I guess he saw somebody familiar. Oh well, whoever it was we'll see them again. I smiled. "Its okay buddy, we'll see them again." He hopped back onto my shoulder as we sat back down. Gary raised an eyebrow in amusement. "That was random." I nodded as he laughed.

Nurse Joy came by, offering us snacks. I told her about my journey, and she congratulated me. Everyone in Kanto is so nice. "You know, maybe we'll run into old friends. I got this feeling something is going to happen that'll surprise me greatly." Gary said, Umbreon around his neck. I hope our old friends will be there, because I'm kind of nervous myself. I don't want it to be so weird and all.

"The ship bound for Cinnabar will be leaving in five minutes." My eyes widened as Gary nearly choked. "Time flew by that fast?!" We got up, rushing towards the ship, trying not to trip and shove others. We ran inside the ship, sighing in relief. The ship's horns sounded as it started moving. We started heading towards our room, which was room 102. We walked in, Pikachu running towards the beds and jumping on them. "Pika!" I smiled. Gary fell onto his, sighing loudly once more. "I thought we would have missed our ship." I agree. I thought we would have missed it.

He started laughing, freaking me out. "S-sorry.. I just noticed how stupid we look right now. The way we were rushing was hilarious." I started chuckling as well. It was pretty funny. Everyone was giving us weird looks, obviously freaked and confused. I smiled. "I'm going to go outside the ship, I want to watch the scenery and see the Pokémon." He got up, sighing. "I'll join you then. I need to calm my nerves anyways." We started heading towards there, Pikachu grabbing a ketchup bottle that was on a table I passed. I shook my head while he ate it happily.

We made it to the deck, a smile forming on my face as I stared out at the ocean. "Makes me think of my memories when we traveled together." I turned, my eyes widening as Misty stood there. Pikachu cheered happily, hopping on her shoulder as she rubbed his chin. "Hey Ash!" I smiled brightly, Gary walking towards us. "Hey Gary!" "Hey Misty." We both said, a smile on my face. "You are going to the academy to?" She nodded, a huge smile on her face. "I was wondering if anyone I knew would be there." She is wearing the clothes she had on when she visited me in Hoenn. Her hair seemed to have grown a bit though, and her eyes seemed to be shining brightly, more than before.

I missed her. I miss all my friends. "So, what is it like being a Gym Leader?" I asked. She shrugged, "Its amazing. I never thought I'd have so much fun. The meetings, the parties, the battling, its all amazing." She smiled as she said that. I'm happy for her. "How about you guys?" I shrugged. "Sinnoh was amazing, like Hoenn. Nothing beats your home region though." She nodded in agreement, waiting for Gary to talk. "I guess it was good, the research in Sinnoh, although that Dawn girl and her fangirling kind of got on my nerves." I laughed while Misty giggled. "Well thanks for not showing it though." He nodded. There was a roar, followed by a Gyarados surfacing next to the ship.

I love Kanto. Its amazing. "So, if you do take part in the tournament, will you join our team?" Misty immediately nodded. "Actually, I was invited to join the opening ceremony because I'm a Gym Leader, but I'm also allowed to attend the academy. I wasn't going to, but now I will. Plus, the tournament sounds fun." I nodded, feeling happy and determined. Three members, hopefully my other friends will be there.

"Do you know the set amount of people allowed in a team?" Misty shook her head. "They didn't talk about it at the meeting earlier, so I didn't ask. I guess they'll tell us over at the academy though." They probably will. The Pokémon in the ocean swam next to the ship, chirping their names. Pokémon flew overhead, and the sky was clear. The weather was perfect, it all was perfect. I loved it.

I know this experience will be amazing. I can tell.
