Kanto Saga

Chapter 10

The Pokémon Semi School of Hard Knocks

As our story continues, we once again find our heroes traveling together on their Pokémon journey in this unexpected fog and Rei Hino uses her spiritual skills to help the gang through the fog when they suddenly came across a gate that leads to Saffron City and Route 6 has been closed leaving the others confused and Ash spoke to Rei.

"Uh, Rei?" Ash asked "Not to question your spiritual powers or anything but are you sure that this is the way to Vermilion City?"

"Yes, Ash." Rei said

"But the gate said 'gate closed' there's gotta be another way." Ash said

"Yeah, why is it closed?!" Usagi whined

"There's no time for whining Bunhead!" Rei shouted sounding irritated

"I'm not whining, I'm just asking Rei!" Usagi shouted sounding angry

"I have a map that said if we take a tunnel-" Ash said while Rei angrily interrupted

"What is it with guys and Maps?!" Rei shouted at Ash

"I'm trying to come up with another way to get accross Rei!" Ash shouted sounding angry

"Oh yeah?! Are you saying the fog is clouding up my powers?!" Rei shouted as she glared at Ash but he and Usagi glared at her back until Ami stopped the argument.

"GUYS, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Ami shouted which Ash, Rei, Usagi, Pikachu, Makoto and Minako immediately froze and looked at Ami while she blushes red as a cherry for her outburst "Ash is right, there's an entrance to a tunnel that goes under Saffron City and onto Route 6, but we have to take a break first to calm everyone down."

Ash, Rei and Usagi then calmed down and helped Makoto, Minako and Ami a table and set it up for a lunch break. And Makoto would do some cooking the lunch

"Let's cook something for lunch!" Makoto said happily "and I'm letting Ash help me out."

"Yeah! I wonder what are we gonna make?" Ash asked

"Mabye some Tokoyaki, Okonomiyaki, Ramen, Sausage Curry, Pork Buns, Onigiri with meat filled the possibilities are endless!" Makoto smiled

"Mabye I'll boil the water for rose or Jasmine tea with a Siphon" Rei said getting a Siphon "and Mako is amazing at making tea"

"Tea? I hope Mako's and Rei's tea tastes good." Ash said hopfully

"Good thing I brought a tea set with Pokémon!" Usagi smiled while bringing her tea set and spring water "But in order to make tea the most important thing is water, Spring water from Mt. Moon which we stopped by 2 days ago it's famous for being very tasty."

"We could eat some pork buns with a side of Muffins for tea, but why not be fashionable and make French crepes?" Ami suggested in a French accent

This made Makoto smile brightly "that's so wonderful! I love French things! They're so romantic, aren't they?" She smiled

"I know! They are awesome I would love to go to the Kalos region with you girls one day!" Ash smiled while Makoto holds his hands

"Pikachu."

"Ash, you're so romantic!" Makoto smiled brightly while giving him the adorable eyes

"Did you know that The Kalos region is based off of France?" Ami asked "and Paris is called La ville de l'amour, that's French for "The city of love", for a reason."

"Wow, Ami you speak French?" Usagi and Minako asked

"By that way we need some fire to make Lunch and Boil water." Makoto said

"Looks like 3 is gonna have to go into the forest and bring back some firewood." Rei said

"As they say 'the old man goes up to the mountains to gather wood, the old lady to the river to do laundry,' so finding wood is a man's job." Minako said

"Yep nobody says that." Artemis said

"Wait does that mean..." Luna asked

"Yep, Me, Mako and Rei are going to get firewood." Ash sighed


Soon Ash, Pikachu, Makoto and Rei set out to the foggy woods to find some firewood it is so hard to see anything without a light.

"Aw man!" Rei sighed "There's no firewood."

"We gotta keep looking, Rei." Ash said

"It's not like we're finding some chopped logs, out on the open." Makoto said "and Ash, was you saying that you want to go to the Kalos Region with us true?"

"Why Yeah, Girls I want to-" Ash said

"Pika Pi! Pikachu!"

Before Ash can complete his sentence, Pikachu spots something up ahead then Everyone there turns their heads and sees a strange light in front of them

"What is that?" Makoto asked

"It's not firewood, but it is a fire." Ash answered

"So we're not the only travelers out here in this soup?" Rei asked "Well, let's check it out!"


Ash, Pikachu, Makoto and Rei rushed to see what's going on and they spot a boy running on a treadmill being quizzed on Pokémon by 3 students.

"Well then..." a voice said as he showed a picture "what is this?"

"A Zubat?" Said the boy

"Mabye it's because the fog's obstructing you," Said another voice "But that's not a bat Pokémon."

The boy looked hard and Answered "It's a Pidgey."

"That's right, But knowing that is par for the course." Said the voice "What we want to know is it's special moves."

"Pidgey's special move is gust" said the boy "at level 5, sand attack. At level 10, quick attack."

"So exactly what level does Pidgey evolve?" Said the voice "and what is an evolved Pidgey's name?"

"Come on. If you don't answer quick, we'll make the track go faster." Said the voice

Then the bullies made the track go faster anyway and the bullies look at the boy with very cold glares, Suddenly, the boy who was running ends up tripping and falling off the treadmill. Causing The other boys surrounding him sigh at his response and laugh at him, making Ash, Pikachu, Makoto and Rei very Angry.

"So do you think you can get away with 'I forgot'?" The bully laughed "and you call yourself a student of the Pokémon Semi? Ha ha ha! Well, we don't want to study with the likes of you."

"Ugh!" Makoto grunted "Damn it! I can't watch any longer!"

"Let's get them!" Rei said

"Hold up! Leave that kid alone, man!" Ash shouted angrily

"Pikachu!"

Ash, Pikachu, Makoto and Rei then rushed to the boy's side and confronts the 3 bullies.

"We'd prefer those uninvolved kept their mouths shut." Said the bully "This is our special training."

"You call this special training?!" Asked Rei angrily "You all forcing that kid to run on a treadmill in the middle of this fog is your idea of training?!"

"Yes, Someone who doesn't know Pidgey's evolved form, can't stay in our School." Said the second bully

"That is the most B.S. reason I ever heard!" Makoto shouted "Just because he doesn't know Pidgey's evolved form because it's foggy and it's hard to think because of the treadmill, doesn't mean you get to kick him out!"

"And you call this special training?!" Ash asked angrily "it's true that we were just passing by, but I can't just sit and watch when something like this happens!"

"Pika, Pika!"

"That's right, Ash let's get them." Rei said cracking her knuckles "I think they need to learned their lesson the hard way."

"I'll take on the first one, Ash you and Pikachu take on the second one like a tag team and Rei you take on the third one." Makoto planned punching her hand into her fist

Suddenly Usagi, Ami and Minako come by to see what is going on and they were shocked to see that Ash, Pikachu, Makoto and Rei were about to help the boy who is being bullied by 3 bullies. Then Ash, Makoto, Pikachu and Rei looked at the 3 girls.

"Hold it!" Usagi shouted "What's going on here?"

"Ami?!" Ash asked "I thought you 3 were at the campsite waiting with for us while we were searching for firewood."

"I was, but I soon heard all the shouting and came to see what was up." Ami said "why are you guys fighting?!"

"Now as for you boys, you better stop bullying that kid or you'll have to answer to us! Right, guys?" Minako said

"Hell yeah!" Ash said

"Damn right." Rei said

"However I'm afraid that I'll have to inform your principal about this sort of behavior." Ami said

"We the world's 5 beauties Ami, Makoto, Minako, Rei and Usagi will never forgive those who pick on the weak." Minako said

"In the name of the beauty we'll punish you." Usagi smiled

"Girls, let me, Mako and Rei will handle this," Ash said

"We'll 3 to 3 seems like one great battle." Said Minako excitingly "Mako would take them out in like one hit."

"How uncivilized" the bully said "Challenging us with bride strength. It's like this in the prehistoric era."

"What the hell did you just say?!?!" Rei shouted while Makoto and Ash held her.

"Take back what you all said!" Makoto shouted angrily "or Rei will go insane!"

"We'd harm the reputation of the Pokémon semi if we fought monkey-like opponents." Said the third bully

"Damn you." Makoto said softly and angrily

"Well, Joe we'll see you at the Semi." Said the student

"Woah! wait a minute, maybe a match instead?!" Ash and Makoto said

"Pika?!

"You 3 are not taking my challenge?" Said the student "we don't take matches with strangers like you."

As the 3 students walked away Ash, Makoto and Rei wondered what is up with those 3 trying to pick on Joe Ami talked Ash, Makoto and Rei to drop the fight which it works. Pikachu letted it go as well

"So that's the Pokémon Semi tech I heard about." Minako said

"You mean they were students of the region renowned Pokémon Seminar Institution?" Asked Usagi

"Yeah A Pokémon trainer's school, I have a panphlet for it." Ami said while getting the pamphlet for Pokémon Seminar "there."

"A School in the middle of Route 5?" Asked Ash

"That's our girl genius for you." Usagi said "Did you know that Ami's IQ is 300? But that is a rumor and Math and science are her favorite subjects."

"Wow, that's great and Ami is amazing the way she is." Ash said

"Aw, T-Thank you Ash." Ami smiled and blushed

Pikachu suddenly investigates the treadmill Joe was running on until he accidentally starts it up and Pikachu starts running as fast as he can go. Minako leaned on the controls as it goes a little faster. Causing Pikachu to fall off and he kicked the treadmill casing his foot to hurt and cries in pain.

"Let's see, the Pokémon trainer boarding Prep School, Pokémon Seminar." Ami said "Upon leaving this school, one is granted permission to train in the Pokémon league without a need for the practical tests, in short the semi is for becoming qualified in a short time without traveling to collect the badges in the gyms of various locations, this beloved school exists for those among to be Pokémon trainers."

"Getting into the Pokémon League without badges, that's underhanded." Ash said

"There's more." Ami continued "in order for all training to account for a bright education entrance and campus fee aren't cheep. And I mostly go to cram school after school."

"In other words only the richest kids in the country can enroll, the rumored noble children." Rei said


The fog lifts to reveal the main dormitory of the school which the P.A announced "attention students, the Practice in the mist is now over. Afterwards is practice in the snow."

"In the snow, huh?" Joe said "Tomorrow, I'm sure to be made into a snowman."

"You mean those bastards again?" Makoto asked

"It's friendship. It's a whip of love." Joe said

"Calling it 'Love' is streching the whip a bit." Usagi said

"But because of that, Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto at level 18." Joe explained "it learns Whirlwind at level 21, wing attack at Level 31. It learns various attacks as its level increases. If it evolves into Pidgeotto, it can Fly Mach2 at 1100 meters. I was able to memorize all of that."

"Wow, kinda like Ami's Pidgey evolving to Pidgeotto a day ago." Ash said "and you, Ami and I know a lot about Pidgeotto."

"Well, my Pidgeotto did help yours out, Ash." Ami giggled

"Why didn't you answer back then?" Usagi asked

"If they knew that I knew, their whip of love would grant me harder questions. Joe answered "It's very strict. However I want to be here my father and mother worked hard and I was able to get into this Semi, look at my Senior over there."

Ash, Pikachu and the girls all turned to Joe's Senior who is reading a textbook under the tree.

"The classes are so hard, there are even people who repeat for several years." Joe explained "You see, if you enter and break down without receiving a diploma, you can't return home due to the shame, that person and I are both in the elementary class."

"Elementary?" Minako asked

"Elementary levers have the same capabilities as someone with 2 badges," Joe went on "intermediate level is a class with the capabilities of 4 badges and the advanced level graduate students can graduate directly into the Pokémon league without traveling to obtain the badges of various gyms. That person is an elementary level, but he's so old that nobody wants to train him with their whip of love."

"Do the teachers tolerate this 'training of love'?" Ami asked

"They neither tolerate it nor do they know about it." Joe answered the Bluenette "even if they knew, it'd be like they didn't."

"Unforgivable." Ash said sternly "Be it 'training' or 'whip of love', no matter what you call it, it's the bulling of the weak, So I'm gonna go have a talk the person who originated this training."

Joe then got out the picture out of his pocket and showed it to the group "Here, this person" Joe said then everyone got a closer look.

"Wow, it's a girl." Makoto said

"That she is cute." Ash said while blushing which make the 5 girls a little jealous

"Wait just a damn minute." Makoto said "Why are you carrying a girl's picture?"

"Whoever gave it to him must be a real pervert." Rei said

"It's ok, her personality's bad, but she's really cute." Joe answered

"Ashy!" Usagi whined "Stop staring at that girl."

Ash quickly snapped himself out of it "She is cute alright, but not as beautiful as these 5 beautiful girls by my side." He said while pointing at Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Minako

This made Ami, Makoto, Minako, Rei and Usagi very very happy that Ash would tell them that they are beautiful not to mention blushing and Minako and Usagi glomped on the young man and Rei and Makoto hugged him while Ami blushed and smiled.

"Ashy, your so kind!" Usagi smiled

Pikachu wouldn't help but jump on his shoulder and Ami had an idea

"Girls, let's go in with Joe and he'll show us around." Ami suggested

"Oh, Yeah, follow me." Joe said while he and the gang enter the school

The tall brunette and the long raven haired priestess could not stop holding on to Ash's hands

"Mabye me and my friends can go to the changing room so we can go put on our school uniforms that we packed just in case we came across a school." Usagi said

"Great idea!" Minako smiled


As our heroes head inside far away from them up on a tree hiding in the leaves, Jessie, James and Meowth watch from above them and they had memories at the semi before meeting Meowth which they were really bad memories.

"That place alone is very unpleasant." Jessie said sadly

"It is to me as well." James sighed "I mourn over my dark past."

"Dark pasts and such are the same as always." Meowth said

"The cherry blossom petals will fall." Jessie said

"It's over when you say that." James sighed once again

"The cherry blossom petals will fall some day." Meowth said

"When I passed the entry exam, the Cherry Tree were blooming." Jessie said

"When I failed the exam, the cherry blossoms fell." James said

"We once applied for Pokémon Semi!" They both said in tears

"And the cherry blossoms fall?" Meowth asked "those who don't have to ask have etiquette."

"Your so sweet, Meowth!" Jessie said

"And caring too!" James said

"So cute, So Cute, Meowth!!" They both said while crying tears of joy

"Aren't you two saying a bit much?" Meowth said "let's rethink this over."


Back at the school Ash and Pikachu are waiting for the 5 girls to change into their school uniforms and once they came out they are wearing their school uniforms.

Ami and Usagi are wearing their Juban Public Middle School outfits Their uniforms has a blue sailor collar with three white stripes. They both have red ribbons on the front of their uniforms, Usagi ties her magical brooch to. They has white blouse with blue sleeve-cuffs that have three white stripes, just like the collar. Makoto is wearing her former School outfit which is a white long-sleeved sailor uniform with white laced ribbon at the center and has a cross corset design on her uniform with two white designs with khaki linings in each side at the edge of her uniform, a long khaki skirt with a matching long lace ribbon at the back and black heels. Rei's uniform is a gray blouse that had a black collar with red stripes on it, a red bow, a black skirt, white socks with a red stripe, and black shoes. And Minako's uniform is a white blouse with sailor neckerchief, a red scarf, blue skirt, white socks, and black Mary Jane shoes.

"Ash, I hope we didn't take too long." Makoto said smiling

"So what do you think?" Usagi asked

"Do you like our school uniforms?" Rei asked sweetly

Ash's face is red as a cherry "Y-Y-You girls look so wonderful in your school outfits. Especially Ami who is wearing glasses."

"Chaaa.."

The girls blushed and smiled at the young man.

"You're just as sweeter than ever!" Rei said

"T-Thank you, Ashy." Ami blushed and smiled "I see that you like mine the most. Mostly that I'm wearing glasses."


After Ash gave the girls very sweet compliments, the gang followed Joe to the elevator which leads up to the 3rd floor which leads to a study area which it had some Pokémon battle simulators, Ash and the others were Amazed

"So this girl's name is Giselle and this is where she hangs out?" Rei asked

"This technology is very fascinating and amazing!" Ami smiled

"Yes, she always trains in her by herself" Joe answered "When it comes to settling things, you won't impress Giselle by simply winning an argument. At this Semi, we speak through our prowess as Pokémon Trainers."

"Guess she's a little lonely on the inside." Usagi said sadly

"It kinda reminds me of myself before I Met you 4 and Ash." Ami pointed out and she stood by Ash's side

"So according to you, Joe, Giselle doesn't care if you beat her in a fight?" Minako said

"Exactly, it all depends on your skill as a trainer." Joe said

"Well, Ash here has 2 badges here." Makoto said patting Ash on the back while he shows his badges "and me and the girls also have the same badges!"

"You know, Giselle's at the top of the elementary level her skill is better than someone with 3 badges," Joe said "in actuality, even with my terrible grades, I'm better than someone with two badges."

Minako is very Jealous "What the hell is that?!" Minako shouted "Are you saying you can beat all 6 of us?! If this is how it is then bring it on!"

"Cerulean Gym is the one with Water Pokémon." Joe said starting the simulator with his Weepinbell battles Misty's Starmie and Ash, Pikachu and the girls watch.

"So, this is how you know what type to use to win a battle." Usagi said

"Yes, I won the simulation several times." He said while his Weepingbell knocks out Starmie

"Ok, Ok, a simulation's a Simulation! Let's do a real life battle!" Minako shouted "You and Me the goddess of love!"

"Ok, I won't lose." Joe said

Ash, Pikachu, Ami, Makoto, Rei and Usagi took cover to the other side by Minako's half of the Battlefield and Joe got on the other side of the battlefield and Ami thought of just hope that Joe both knows what he's doing and doesn't think about challenging The other girls and Ash after this because they can easily knock him out and Making Ami worried.

"Why are you and Joe fighting, Minako?" Makoto asked

"I'm not sure, it turned out this way, so you guys stay out of this." Minako said holding her PokéBall "I'm gonna teach Joe how to not mess with the goddess of love!"

"Alright, this will be a one on one battle. Joe, beginner student of Pokémon Tech, versus Minako Aino, the Goddess of Love." Ami called "Both trainers will use just one Pokémon. Trainers! Bring out your Pokémon, and let the battle begin!"

"Go, Eevee!" Minako called tossing the PokéBall up to the air and Eevee came out and materializes from her PokéBall

"A normal type Pokémon, Huh?" Joe asked "Well I have a Grass Pokémon that is stronger against it, Go Weepinbell!

Joe tosses the PokéBall up to the air and Weepinbell came out and materializes from his PokéBall.

Ash sees the Weepinbell and he analyzed it with his PokéDex and it reads: "Weepinbell, the Flycatcher Pokémon, and the evolved form of Bellsprout. Weepinbell often uses its body to camouflage itself in the forest in order to lure and trap prey by spraying it with Poison Powder to immobilize it before melting it with internal acids."

"Hey, Ash I guess we both analyzed that Weepinbell at the same time." Smiled Makoto "well let's see if Joe's Weepinbell can whiteness Minako's starter Eevee's actual battle experience."

"Don't underestimate the Goddess of Love, ever!" Minako shouted "Eevee use swift!"

Eevee used swift on Weepinbell and after one Swift Weepinbell is knocked out leaving Joe completely surprised and Ash, Pikachu, and the girls shocked.

"Oh, my goodness!" Ami cried "he's down in one hit. Weepinbell is unable to battle, Eevee wins and The victory goes to Minako Aino the goddess of love!"

"No way! My Weepinbell should've been stronger" Joe cried

"That's why you're no good." Said a female voice "You're opponent's a Goddess of Love and is a student at Shiba Koen Junior High School she has grown used to battling. You lack in your studies. It's painful to look at you like that."

"So that's Giselle?" Asked Rei and Makoto

"She's not as beautiful as the 5 girls next to me." Ash said which makes Ami, Makoto, Minako, Rei and Usagi smile and blush at him

"Chaa.."

"There you go again Ash, with the very sweet compliments." Makoto giggled then hugged him from behind

"Excuse me, ma'am , but are you this Giselle that we heard about?" Ami asked

"Yes, at the illustrious prep School, Pokémon Semi, I'm the elementary class's brightest star." Giselle answered "Some people even call me Andromeda, after the star whose shining light can reach the edge of the Galaxy and even farther! This entity is Giselle Seiyo Yuto!"


Outside the School Team Rocket were spying on our heroes and is on a tree and Jessie was jealous but James is in love with Giselle

"She talks more grandiose then us." Jessie said

"I don't care about that, She's lovely." James said with cute eyes

"Whatever, not as lovely as Meowth." Meowth cut in

Jessie and James are annoyed and punches Meowth up into the air telling him that he's in their way and to stop bothering them Meowth screams his name as he flies upwards disappears in a twinkle of light.


Back at the School Giselle approached Joe saying that she wishes to say that she always consider her classmates as rivals to chant together, to hold respect for one another, to create the next era of Pokémon and tells Joe to get stronger than the rest, however if he doesn't he could get out of hers and the Semi's sight causing Joe to have a shocked and stunned face Ash, Pikachu, and the girls cannot watch this any longer and Usagi interjects and confronts Giselle.

"Stop right there, Giselle!" Usagi shouted angrily "A real Girl is The Who protects a innocent boy, as for i Usagi Tsukino won't forgive you!"

"I won't be nice to a fellow girl." Giselle smirked snootily

"What should we do?" Ash said

"I think we better let Usagi handle this." Ami said "because things will turn scary if you get involved into fights between us girls."

Ami then called the battle once more "I Guess that means another battle for me to referee." Ami called "This will be a one on one battle, both trainers will have one Pokémon each. Begin!"

"I'll use my Pokémon against yours, I choose Graveler! Go!" Giselle called sending out Graveler out to battle then Graveler materializes

"Wow, That's the evolved form of Geodude." Makoto said while getting out her PokeDex and analyzed it which it says: "Graveler, the Rock Pokémon, the evolved form of Geodude. Due to its slowness, Graveler prefers to roll around rather than walk. It often feasts on rocks and rolls down mountain paths at high speeds, but is known to explode when it rolls into a river."

"Oh, yeah?" Usagi said while getting her PokéBall out "I'll use Mankey, let's go!" Usagi sents out her Mankey which it materializes

"No way! Rock Pokémon are weak against Fighting Pokémon!" Rei said

"Rock Pokémon hate water, but depending on the levels, it should be able to win." Giselle said

Graveler leaps and attempts to land on Mankey, but Mankey evades. Graveler leaps backwards toward Mankey, who fires a Double kick at it. But Graveler tucks and rolls toward Mankey and slams into it so hard that it's jewel breaks and its sent flying out the window and into the school pool leaving Usagi, Ash, Pikachu and the girls in shock.

"Oh my gosh!" Ami cried "Mankey is unable to battle! Graveler wins! The victory goes to Giselle!"

"I don't believe it. Mankey was supposed to knock Graveler out with one hit." Makoto said

"No way!" Usagi cried


The students and our heroes head to the pool where Starmie landed. Mankey then quickly got out of the water and landed by Usagi's side and did a fighting pose meaning it's not out.

"Wow, so you're Mankey is able to survive." Giselle said

"Wow, Mankey close call." Usagi said hugging it "hey Mako, I think it's your turn to take her on."

"Hell yeah, now it's my time to shine!" Makoto said "and Ash is gonna join."

"You got that right- Huh?!" Ash said then head over to Makoto's side"Ok, I'll battle, you know I would like to battle you and Rei and the girls someday."

"Ok you two." Giselle said "just as you know, Pokémon grow strong as they're raised. Depending on the level, even a Pokémon weak to fighting can win. That's strategy, Joe, do you know what that means? It means What decides a Pokémon match isn't just that Pokémon's Traits. Levels are also Important. Those who strategize are the top Pokémon Trainers."

"Well, a Strategy is a Strategy coming up with a good one is a good way to win and have a great time." Makoto said

"And you two are?" Giselle asked

"I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town." Ash Introcduced

"I'm Makoto Kino." Makoto Introduced "we're not boasting, but me, Ash and my friends behind us have 2 badges that we won for having trust in one another!"

"A tall busty girl with rose earrings and a hansome cutie." Giselle giggled "with 2 badges that's so Elementary level, the tall one is from Juban Public Middle School along with the intelligent Blunette and the bunny. By the way, how many days have you 6 been striving as a Pokémon Trainer?"

"I guess a couple of days." Ash answered and Makoto nodded

"My goodness!" Giselle gasped mockingly "Even after a couple of days, you're letting a Pikachu run free without taming it? It's common sense to put Pokémon inside of their PokéBalls."

"I don't intend to tame Pikachu!" Ash shouted "he's my friend! As well as Butterfree, Pidgeotto, Bulbasaur, Shiny Charmander, Squirtle, Geodude, Nidoran Male, Nidoran female, BellSprout, Ekens, Mankey, Beedrill, Krabby, Clefable and Shiny Onix!"

"Which I was a little Jealous about him getting a Shiny Onix but mine is bigger than his!" Makoto pointed out

"Pokémon trainers Normally carry 6 Pokémon with them and the other ones your stored in your PC." Giselle explained "you must be very lucky to obtain 2 badges by switching your Pokémon teams to get the type advantage and the rest of you girls have gotten lucky to obtain the 2 badges with your full or short teams."

"She is so full of herself." Rei thought

"Each one of ours has the strength of two!" Ash shouted

"I thought of that." Giselle mocked "As a Pokémon with a couple of days of experience after meeting, you're Pikachu should be a Level 25 at best, probably even less then that."

"Pika..."

"Damn, she IS full of herself." Makoto thought

"First of all choosing a Pikachu, which is difficult to handle, as your starter Pokémon is ignorant at best." Giselle went on "It says that in any Pokémon manual did you know that? Wah, you and the girls didn't know? And you 6 have two badges like that?! That's laughable!"

"Well, when Pikachu evolves, it turns into the Electric Pokémon Raichu and grows to a height of 80 centimeters." Ami said

Giselle was stunned to find a girl smarter than her "What, a Bluenette studied more than me?!" She said

"That's right!" Ash said "Ami is the most intelligent person I know and she's studies WAY more than you!"

"And don't you forget that!" Makoto shouted

"Pikachu!!"

Giselle used two PokéBalls for a double battle "these two should be enough for your two Pokémon. I'll keep Graveler for the tall one and as for your Pikachu," Giselle said sending out her second Pokémon "Cubone, go!" Then Cubone and Graveler materialize from their PokéBalls

"Ok, then I'll use Oddish!" Makoto said while sending out Oddish "let's do it!" Then Oddish came out and materialize from her PokéBall.

"Wow, a Cubone. it's so cute!" Usagi awed as she is about to analyzed it with her PokéDex until Ami looked Cubone up on her textbook.

"Cubone is the Lonely Pokémon." Ami said "On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother as a helmet. Because of this, much of its actual face has never been seen, except for its triangular, black eyes and a small area surrounding them. It is called the Lonely Pokémon because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid social situations, due to the trauma caused by the death of its mother."

"Aw, that's so sad." Usagi said in tears "and way to use you're textbook."

Then Ami ran to the middle and called the battle "This will be a handicap tag battle with Ash Ketchum and Makoto Kino and their Pokémon, Pikachu and Oddish, against Giselle and her Pokémon, Graveler and Cubone! Let the battle, begin!"

"This Pikachu is my friend!" Ash said "It's different from Just any Pikachu!"

"So is my Oddish!" Makoto said "it's different than any other!"

"Pikachu, Iron tail on Cubone!" Ash Commanded

"Oddish, Asorb on Graveler" Makoto commanded

Makoto's Oddish used Asorb on Giselle's Graveler doing 2x the damage while Pikachu's tail turned into Iron then lunged at it and Cubone held his bone with two hands to deflect it but Pikachu is not giving up.

"A steel type attack?!" Giselle gasps "I haven't read that in a text book. Cubone bone club!"

Cubone used bone club to hit Pikachu on the head but Pikachu still has Iron tail and deflect it and hit Cubone doing a good amount of damage then suddenly Oddish begins to glow leaving the others shocked

"Oddish?" Makoto gasped

"She's evolving!" Ash said

Then Makoto's Oddish evolved into Gloom then the light fades Ash looked up Gloom in his PokéDex which reads: "Gloom the weed Pokémon. Gloom gives off a very unpleasant smell while strong against water type Pokémon who Gloom is weak against fire and flying types."

"Oh my god!" Makoto smiled "Gloom you evolved!"

"I'll give you a hug later, Makoto." Ash smiled "Let's finish off this battle."

"Ok, Gloom, use Mega Drain!" Makoto Commanded

"Pikachu use Iron tail once more!" Ash commanded

Gloom Used Mega Drain on Graveler draining his energy and one super effective hit Graveler is out and Pikachu hit Cubone with Iron tail agian and one hit knocks Cubone out and making it cry.

"Graveler and Cubone are unable to battle! Gloom and Pikachu wins!" Ami called "Which the victory goes to Ash Ketchum and Makoto Kino!"

"We did it!" Makoto and Ash shouted while hugging one another and Rei can't help but join Ash, Makoto and Pikachu for a hug.

"Pi-Pikachu!"

Giselle slumped to the floor, upset and distraught

"I lost." Giselle sighed then gets out Cubone's PokéBall "Cubone, you did well. Don't cry and return." Then Giselle recalls Cubone and returns it back to its Pokéball.

"A Pikachu winning without any electric type moves wasn't in any textbooks or reference books." Giselle said sadly

"It wasn't in the textbooks, incredible." Joe said

"That was a once of a lifetime double battle the first one I ever had." Ash said to the brunette

"Y-You think so?" Makoto smiled and blushed

"Yeah I know so, Mako" Ash said which Makoto hold his hands as the other Girls gathered around the two

"You all did great, especially Gloom, it evolved because you showed your kindness to it." Joe said


Not too far Jessie and James looked on to the students and our heroes.

"Of course, there's that method." Jessie said "Even if we don't use special moves, it's fine if we win. We'll work through force."

"Let's do it." James said

Then Jessie and James used low smoke/Fog to steal the School's Pokémon while Giselle morns over losing to Ash and Makoto she is in aware that the fog comes rolling In then Ash, Pikachu and the Girls realized who is causing this.

"What is this?" Ash asked

"Oh crap, it's Team Rocket." Makoto said while holding Ash and Pikachu

"If you ask us about it whatever." Jessie and James said "Our answer will be the world's compassion."

"To protect the world from devastation." Jessie said

"To unite all peoples within our nation." James said

"To denounce the evils of truth and love." Jessie and James said "To extend our reach to the stars above."

"Jessie."

"James."

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light." Jessie said

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight." James said holding a rose

Then suddenly Meowth falls from the sky and into the water of the pool but jumps out in a back-flip and did a final pose.

"Meowth, I love a final Pose!" Meowh said

"Team Rocket, huh?" Giselle said snapping out of her loss "I heard about them. I'm not picky when it comes to measures against bad guys. The rule is there are no rules." Then she got an empty Pokéball Than the other students as well

"Everyone'a our opponent?!" Jessie gasped

"Matches are one on one, that's what the rules say." James feared

"Ok, everyone let's get them!" Giselle said

The the she, the students Ash, Pikachu and the girls threw the empty PokéBalls at Team Rocket to the point that the trio retreated for their lives and they would stick to the rules. Even Pikachu zapped the trio

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Said the trio running into the sunset.


Later that evening, Giselle watched the sunset when Joe came by her side and she learned that there are lots of things that you can't learn at school alone and Joe will think about returning to his hometown and start his first Pokémon like Ash.

"Giselle, it'd be nice if we could meet at the Pokémon league." Joe said

"I'll do my best too, that's what a true rival does." Giselle said

"Giselle, May I keep your picture? Joe asked

"I also keep pictures of my classmates." Giselle said

"Even mine too?" He asked

"You're my classmate." She said "Let's do our best."

They shake hands As Ash, Pikachu, Ami, Makoto, Minako, Rei and Usagi looked on and the girls are back to their casual outfits and Ash spoke to Rei

"Hey, Rei I'm sorry for questioning you about your spiritual powers." Ash apologized

Then Rei smiled hugged Ash "it's ok, Ashy so let's wave goodbye head to Route 6."


As Ash, Pikachu, Ami, Makoto, Minako, Rei and Usagi waved goodbye to Giselle and Joe they make their way to the underground tunnel and they make it to Route 6 and they decided to set up camp for the night and while they setted up 2 tents Ash agreed to sleep with Rei and Makoto for the night while Usagi, Ami and Minako sleep in another tent then Ash and Makoto made Okonomiyaki for dinner and they all loved it.

"Wow, Ash this is the first time you cooked with Mako," Ami said "it is amazing."

"Aw, thanks, Ami." Ash blushed

"Yeah, Ash you gotta teach me and Minako how to cook as good as you, Mako, Ami and Rei." Usagi said

"Mabye one day during our journey I will." Ash said

"Pikachu."

"Mabye you should try Ami's and Rei's cooking." Minako pointed out.


After dinner everyone picked up after themselves and they changed into their PJs and Ash and Pikachu went to the tent with Makoto and Rei and cudded and later that night when everyone went to sleep Ash wakes up and nodices Makoto is not in her sleeping bag so he quietly went to go look for her as Pikachu follows him and while they hide behind the bushes, they spot her in a swimming spot doing a deep zen waterfall meditation in her green bikini and Ash relized that Makoto's boobs are big and he tries not to look at them as he has his swim trunks underneath his PJs as he is in his trunks as he walks over to Makoto then he immediately feels the icy temperature which made his shiver

"Yikes! the water is so cold even at night." Ash said

however, it didn't let that stop him he looked at Makoto as he tried to step in underneath the waterfall next to her and tried his best to zen as Makoto only for her to open her eyes and see Ash in his swim trunk and She was startled as well as Ash and he jumped out of the waterfall

"Ash, what are you doing here?" Makoto asked

"I was gonna ask the same thing!" Ash said

And when Ash told her he was looking for her because he Nodices that she was gone she thought he was worried about her which made her smile. They say near a rock and put their feet in the water then Pikachu sat next to Ash and Makoto Spoke.

"Well I thought I might come here while and Meditate in the water and get ready for the next gym battle." Makoto explained and smiled "and I wanted to do so in my bikini. What do you think?"

"Y-You look so amazing, Mako." Ash blushed "and I would love to train with you before we can enter a gym battle if it's ok with you."

This made Makoto smile brighter then ever then she wrapped her arms around the boy much to his surprise as she lets him lay on her big breasts slowly and gently.

"Thank you, Ashy." Makoto spoke to the boy quietly as she held him close "you're really sweet, and your really more handsome then the guy who broke my heart."

This made Ash worried "Mako, can you tell me what happened to you and him?" He said while returning a hug

Makoto then sadly told Ash about the guy who broke her heart as she held both of her hands to her lap.


The story is told in a flashback at her old school waiting for her Old Boyfriend in a winter day on a sunset. She spots her Old boyfriend while heading behind a wall and she took a deep breath and approached him.

"Hey, wait up!" Makoto called "Are you on your way home?"

Then he spots Makoto approached him "Huh?" He said "Oh, hey there Kino."

"I thought we could walk home together." Makoto said "Just you and me."

"Didn't I tell you?" He declined "I have a girlfriend now."

Makoto was Confused "Girlfriend?" She asked

"So yeah." He said "I'm gonna walk home with her from now on. Sorry Kino! See you!"

He leaves with his new girlfriend to walk home with her instead leaving Makoto shocked and heartbroken.


Then it cuts back to Makoto and Ash still in their swimsuits and her head down while her face was sad.

"And from here on out I was very heartbroken since." Makoto said while tears run down her face and begins to cry softly.

then upon hearing such a heartbreaking moment that Makoto had to go through Ash's shoulders begin to shake, at this moment a single drop of water dripped on his hands. And then another, and another, and another. Makoto then looked at Ash while her eyes are still filled with tears. Ash's eyes were now leaking with tears with trickled down his cheeks as he begins to cry because he felt really bad what Makoto had went through.

"T-That was really heartbreaking, Mako." He sobbed and he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her once more. "And I feel really horrible, and I'm really sorry what you had to go through. it's just that you deserve love no matter what! And I want to do anything in my heart to make you happy you just say the word!"

This made Makoto look at Ash and smiled hugged him very tightly and rubs his raven hair gently as Pikachu's eyes starts leaking with tears as well

"You're so beautiful and wonderful..." Ash sobbed and buried his face on Makoto's chest and hugged the tall brunette tightly.

Makoto wiped her tears and she then wiped Ash's and Pikachu's tears and cuddled with Ash and Pikachu that he would say such kind words to her after what happened to her.

"Ash," she spoke gently and blushed "You're the sweetest person I ever met and your the only guy in the whole wide world who cares for me. Let's get dried up and get our PJs back on and get to bed."

Then Ash and Pikachu calmed down and they dried off and they putted their PJs back on and Makoto picked Ash up and held him in her arms and walked slowly back to their tent that Rei is sleeping and he hugged Makoto and Pikachu and Rei hugged The boy from behind and they went to sleep.


The next morning Ash, Pikachu, Ami, Makoto, Minako, Rei and Usagi are walking down the path of Route 6 to Vermilion City as they had a well balanced Breakfast that Ash and Makoto made pancakes before leaving and packing their camping stuff and as they walked Minako nodices Ash and Makoto holding hands and teased them.

"Oooh." Minako teased "Someone's holding hands with Mako."

"Minako, what are you doing?" Ash asked while blushing "we were just talking."

"What were you and Mako doing last night?" Usagi then teased "Doing some Hanky Panky stuff?"

"We did nothing!" Makoto hesitated while blushing "we just had a talk. And Ash is not old enough to some dirty stuff!"

"Now, girls let's not ask Mako and Ash what they did last night," Ami said "and we shouldn't tease them about. And we got to wait till Ash is older to do such things."

"Pikaa.."

As our heroes continued on Ash and the others are determined to win the next gym battle and win the third Kanto Gym badge to compete in the Pokémon league will they come up with an amazing strategy to win? And get out of the forest? Find out as the journey continues!
