There were many buses, all to take the students new home. The students all entered a bus, with at least one teacher on board. Gary boarded one of the buses with a sigh. He looked around to see were to sit. "Looks like he isn't here…" Gary thought.
"Hey you can sit here," Ursula said. Gary looked over at her. She was innocently smiling at him.
"So this is one of the famous Oak boys, huh? Well, I think I'll just snag him for myself," Ursula thought to herself. Then the other girls on the bus tried to get him to sit next to him, so he just sat by some loner kid who was reading some comic. They all whined, while Ursula crossed her arms and looked out the window. "I won't give up that easily…" Ursula thought. Looking outside of the window, Gary finally found the person he was looking for, but then the bus closed and the driver got up and yelled, "All right everyone! Bus is full, so we are leaving now! Everyone sit down!" Gary frowned as the bus drove away from the school.

Ash boarded a bus with a bunch of his friends, and it seemed to take off quick afterwards. He was sitting next to Richie, while May and Dawn sat behind him, and Misty and Iris getting to know each other in the seat ahead of him.
"So you're a water type expert, huh? Well, water types are pretty cool I guess, but they're nothing to Dragon types!" Iris said.
"I don't know about that. There so many varieties of beautiful, talented, and powerful water types, while there are only strong Dragon Pokémon!" Misty said confidently. AJ, who sat in the seat across from Ash, was telling him about how he was doing. Seems he and his Sandslash, that evolved from his Sandshrew, have won a couple Pokémon Leagues. May looked out the window, looking forward to her match with Drew. A half an hour passed with all of them caching up, and the bus came to a complete stop. Everyone got off, and was directed all toward an area where all the students were to go. After a while someone spoke.
"Attention everyone, this is where you well be after school. There is plenty to do after you finish your homework, since all your belongings and Pokémon that were with you were sent here to your rooms!"
Jessie and James huddled up together when they heard that.
"This is our chance to grab Pikachu," Jessie whispered.
"If we had Meowth, we could do it," James silently said. They both got depressed.
"Hey guys, where've you been? I've been waiting for yea," a familiar voice said. They both looked down.
"Meowth!" they shouted. A couple people looked at them that made them both grab and hug Meowth.
"We've missed you so, our dear Meowth!" Jessie said. The people gave them a weird look.
"This is important information, so listen up!" the man in fount shouted. Everyone's attention was back on him, so they made their getaway. Everyone else was explained the rules and punishments. A lot were happy that there was a battle area, and a place to practice contest as well. They also had a pool and Jacuzzis. They had lot of other things and stuff to do here as well.
"But remember, homework first!" they were all told.

They quietly left the crowd and unlocked the place where the male's dorm room were kept. Once inside, they crept around, slowly unlocking doors one by one. Then they finally found a Pikachu napping on a bed. They nabbed it and scammed. Then they got into the Meowth balloon and left unnoticed.
"We should get this to the boss pronto!" Jessie said.
"Why's that?" James asked.
"Haven't you learned what happened every time we take our time getting Pikachu to the boss? The twerps use some flying type Pokémon and find us and get Pikachu back!"
"You're right…"
"So let's hurry up and go surprise the boss!" Meowth said.
"Right!" Jessie and James both said.

Everyone went into their rooms to unpack, see their Pokémon and unwind. Red went into his room, but when he got their however, someone was missing.
"Pikachu? Pikachu?" Red shouted. Red ran out of his room and looked around the halls. There he found Ash's Pikachu. It seems to have gotten separated from Ash with all the people around.
"There you are Pikachu," Red said. Thinking it was Ash, Pikachu ran toward him and jumped into his arms. Something seemed off to Pikachu though once he was in his arms.
"I was so worried. Why were you out here?" Red asked. The Pikachu looked at him questionably. Then Ash popped up in fount of Red and saw his Pikachu.
"Pikachu?" Ash said. Pikachu looked around and saw Ash. It jumped out of Red's hands and into Ash's. Ash gave his Pikachu a big hug. "Pikachu! You're okay!" Red frowned. "That's his Pikachu," Red thought.
"Have you seen another Pikachu around?" Red asked.
"No, I haven't," Ash said. Red then looked worried, as he turned around and went to look for his Pikachu.
"Hey, thanks for helping me look for May!" Ash shouted.
"Don't mention it…"
"Are you missing your Pikachu? We can help-"
"I don't need help." Red then walked away. Ash crossed his arms and stared at him.
"Man, what's his problem…"
Red went outside and sent out his Charizard. He then hopped on his back and flew around the area. Red still has Pikachu's pokeball, so there might be a chance that Red can spot the people who took him. Sadly after flying around the whole area, Red didn't see him, so he went left the area to look.

Jessie, James and Meowth were finally at Giovanni's room, and Pikachu had just woken up. It looked around with a confused look on its face.
"We've finally done it, boss! We've gotten the powerful Pikachu from those twerps!" Jessie happily said.
"… Let's just see how powerful this Pikachu really is," Giovanni said. They went to a battle area outside. There, the boss came out with another Pikachu. One that he had for quite some time, and had it fight hard like he has with all his Pokémon.
"If this Pikachu can beat this, the strongest Pikachu I have here, then I will reward you," he said. Jessie, James, and Meowth got excited. "But I doubt it can do anything to it," Giovanni silently said to himself. "Attack!" When he said that, the Pikachu sped off after Red's Pikachu. But it dodged and climbed over the fenced area. Giovanni returned the Pikachu.
"I have no use for a coward," Giovanni said.
"Wait, it just doesn't know who the boss is yet!" Jessie said.
"We'll get it to fight!" Meowth said.
"Hurry it up then!" Giovanni shouted. With that, all three of them ran after Red's Pikachu. Once they found it, James jumped on it, and grabbed it, but it zapped him with Thunderbolt.
"Should've seen that coming," Meowth said. Meowth left to get something to stop Pikachu's electric attacks. But once he got backed, they all got barbequed to a crisp with a Blast Burn. Then an explosion happened, and the three went flying. Red has been searching for Pikachu for quite some time. Luckily, he saw his Pikachu Thunderbolt. Pikachu jumped onto Charizard and they left.

Red returned with Pikachu, and then returned Charizard. Daisy, Leaf, and Blue came running up to him.
"Red! Thank goodness! I was so worried!" Daisy said.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to worry you," Red said.
"Where did you run off to, anyways?" Blue asked.
"Just looking around…" Red really didn't want to worry them.
Blue crossed his arms and glared at Red.
"Well, it's good that you're okay. But would you let us know next time?" Leaf asked.
"Okay." Blue doesn't believe him. It's not like this was Red's first time he's done this. Though for some reason, he couldn't hate him. He doesn't understand why. With all that Red did, he should, but couldn't. Blue just left them. He wanted to show Gary what for. Leaf and Daisy were now busy chatting away about how school went. Red watched as Blue walked away with a little pain in his eyes. Ever since he beat him at the Indigo Plateau, he couldn't seem to face Blue again. Before he defeated Blue and becoming the new champion, Blue used to take losing so well. But after that defeat, he became so upset. That's why he went away to Mt. Silver. Red had no clue he just won, and he had to take all that hard work away from him. But he couldn't just let all his hard work go to waste ether.

May's Beautifly and Drew's Masquerain both went down and fainted after their last attack.
"It's a tie!" May shouted. May's shocked face changed to confused. "So… What should we do?"
Drew shrugged. "I guess nothing, since neither of us won," Drew said.
"I guess you're right," May said. She then made a sad face. "And I was looking forward to that free meal too," she thought. Drew couldn't stand to see her so upset.
"Well, since you had a pretty rough day and all, I guess I can take you somewhere," he said.
"Wow, really?" She said excided.
"Can't be anything too expensive though."
"Really…"
"Well, if you don't want to, then whatever…" Drew then started to walk away.
"Wait!" May shouted. Drew turned around. "It's a free meal I guess…" May thought. "Fine, nothing too expensive."
"Right then. Let's go."
