I do apologize if it took so long for this episode to get finished and uploaded. I've been caught up with work, group events, some of my DeviantArt stuff and model train table making. But none the less, I finished the episode. I'm also going to answer some questions some of you have been asking in your reviews. Jdtperry, I think I may have Butterfree stay with Ash and his mate. But since their starting a family, which will be at Professor Oak's lab, he's not going to show up for a couple of episodes since they would have to take care of the little ones. Guest reviewer, I'll take your suggestion about Tentacruel and Gastly actually being brought down a peg. Kyogre could be the one to intercept Tentacruel and I may even have Babs transform into Babszilla for real. As for Gastly, if I choose too, I may feature a Pokémon version of the Ghostbusters, especially after seeing Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire recently. One common theme that's going to appear in later episodes, the toons will learn that they can't really do some of their toony stuff without getting in trouble with the law. Elmyra's already learnig that the hard way. In regards to Fifi's aggressive wooing to boys, Fifi will get in trouble in later episodes and our heroes will have to teach her the proper way to flirt. And when Plucky appears, he's going to learn his greediness will have bad consequences depending on the episode and what he does. I almost forgot to add Sandshrew until a reader pointed out in a review. So I fixed it. But anway, onto the next episode.

Episode 11: The School of Hard Knocks
(Insert "Setting Off" from Pokémon)
As our story continues, we once again find our friends traveling together, on their Pokémon journey in perfect harmony. "I'm not letting you out of my sight, Ash Ketchum until you pay for my broken bike," said Misty.
"'My bike. My bike'! That's all I ever hear from you!" yelled Ash.
"Right! My name may be Misty, but I'm perfectly clear that owe me and you're not gonna get away without paying!" said Misty.
"Maybe if you three spent less time arguing, and paid more attention to where we're going, we'd already be in Vermillion City by now," said Mary.
"Come on, we're already late. We gotta start the show," said Brock.
"Chu," said Pikachu.
(End Music)
The group stopped for a break. "I think we all need a little break," said Brock taking out some random stuff out of his backpack. He had set up a table. "Why don't I just throw a little something together," said Brock. Ash and the others sweated in embarrassment. "Ah, there's nothing as satisfying as a cup of 100% Cerulean Coffee. Some of you are too young for this stuff, but it's really quite good. How about some prune juice?" asked Brock.
"I think I'll pass," said Ash.
"How about some herbal tea?" asked Misty.
"You must be kidding," said Ash.
"Not so fast, Ash. I brought my official Pokémon tea set!" said Brock, taking out a tea set that had Pokémon decorations on them. "Now the key to good tea and coffee is good water," said Brock. He began to look through his backpack again. "And I have a generous supply of sparkling, delicious Mt. Moon, pure spring water!" said Brock, taking out a bottle of water that had label with a picture of Mt. Moon on it. "And for ze special snack, I have for some French crapes," said Brock with a fake french accent.
"Deed you say French crapes?!" asked Fifi excitedly.
"Yes," said Brock.
"My mother always makes delicious crapes," said Fifi.
"I love French things! They're so romantic! Aren't they?" asked Misty. Ash began crunching up some of the french crapes. But then, Misty hit Ash with a log. "All that crunching is ruining my romantic daydreams!" said Misty. Shirley whacked Misty with a rock.
"Like, will you cut it out, Misty!" said Shirley.
"Why are you toons always siding with Ash?!" asked Misty.
"Because he's more likable than you," said Fowlmouth smugly. Misty growled angrily. She was about to do something to the rude rooster when Brock spoke up.
"By the way, I can't cook crapes and I can't boil water if I don't have a fire!" said Brock.
"One of you has to go into the forest and carry back some firewood," said Brock.
"That's an excellent idea, Brock! And I'm willing to sacrifice the excitement of searching for firewood and keep you company!" said Misty.
"Let's see, there's Ash and the toons. That means we're gonna have to decide who goes and who stays," said Brock.
"I'll go," said Ash.
"So will I," said Mary.
"I'd rather be weeth Pikachu than weeth Misty," said Fifi.
"Me three," said Buster.
Ash, Pikachu and the toons accompanying began to look for the firewood. "Here, firewood! Here, firewood! No firewood here, Pikachu," said Ash.
"Why do we have to do all the dirty . . . ," said Buster.
"Pika pi. Pikachu," said Pikachu.
"Huh? Hey, looks like a fire," said Ash.
(Insert "Creeping Shadow" from Pokémon)
The light was at the sight of where a group of boys dressed in formal clothes were at. Most of them held candles. A brown hair boy was running on a treadmill while some other students were asking him questions. And they were actually toons. They included Roderick Rat, Danforth Drake and some other toon students. "Alright. What's the name of this one?" asked Roderick, holding out a card that had a Pidgey on it.
"Is it a Zubat?" asked the brown-haired boy.
"Listen, just because its foggy out here, doesn't mean your brain has to be in a fog," said the Danforth.
"It's a Pidgey," said the brown-haired boy.
"Nice guess. You just got lucky," said Roderick.
"Okay. Now tell us what its special attack is," said Danforth.
"Pidgey's attack is gust. Level 5, Sand Attack and Level 12 . . . ," said the brown-haired boy.
"Everybody knows that. Now tell what level Pidgey evolves and what's the name of Pidgey's advanced stage," said the Roderick. "
Umm . . . ," said the brown-haired boy.
"You better come up with answers quick or you'll have to run faster," said Danforth. Suddenly, the boy tripped and fell.
"I'm sorry, I forgot," said the brown-haired boy. The other kids sighed.
"You forgot, huh? And you call yourself a Pokémon Tech student?" said Roderick.
"I'm sorry," said the brown-haired boy. Roderick suddenly grabbed a whip and struck the student with it. The boy cried out in pain. He could see the anger in Roderick's face.
"STOP PRETENDING TO BE DUMB TO AVOID HARDER QUESTIONS! PERFECTO PREP STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE BEST! THEREFORE, YOU MUST STRIVE TO BE THE BEST! So you better answer all the questions correctly this time and stop acting like a slacker, unless you want to be locked up in the dumpster again!" said Roderick. The boy's face turned into that of horror. Roderick raise his whip again. "Now get back on the treadmill, NOW!" said Roderick.
(End Music)
Ash decided he had had enough of the bullies' torments on the boy. Suddenly, he grabbed the whip just as Roderick was pulling back to hit the boy. "Huh?" asked Roderick. Ash then pulled the whip, causing Roderick to thrown to the ground. The boy was surprised by this. Roderick got up as his fellow students gathered near him. "Insubordinate fool! Nobody attacks Perfecto Prep's students! Teach this cur a lesson!" said Roderick. But Ash and Pikachu were not afraid of them. Pidgeotto, Butterfree, Shroomish, Seedot and Rattata were out too. Roderick and his fellow students charged at Ash and his Pokémon. Pidgeotto and Butterfree slapped Danforth and another student with their wings. Pikachu zapped the rogue students with a Thunderbolt attack. Rattata bit Roderick on the tail, causing him to yelp. Seedot head butted a Perfecto Prep student in the noggin, giving him a goose egg. Shroomish drained some of their energy with Leech Seed. Seeing that they were outmatched, Roderick, Danforth and the others made a run for it. "You'll rue the day you messed with Perfecto Prep!" yelled Roderick. Ash helped the brown haired student back on his feet.
"Are you okay?" asked Ash.
"I think so. The name's Joe," said the boy.
"Who do those guys think they are?" asked Ash.
"Those didn't look like the infamous Tech students," said Brock as he and Misty arrived into the area. The toons revealed themselves too.
"Tech students?" asked everybody.
"Pokémon Tech. I think it's short for Pokémon Technical, a school for Pokémon Trainers. I know I had flier here somewhere," said Misty, reaching into her pants pockets.
"Those weren't Pokémon Tech students. Those were Perfecto Prep students," said Buster. Misty took the flier out, which was folded.
"Yeah. Here it is," said Misty. She opened it up.
"A Pokémon School in the middle of nowhere?" asked Ash. Brock then snatched the flier from Misty.
"Hmm. Let's see what it says here about this place," said Brock. Pikachu was looking at the treadmill. "Pokémon Technical Institute, a boarding school for serious Pokémon Trainer preparation," said Brock. Then, Pikachu started the treadmill and began to run on it. "All students guaranteed to enter the Pokémon League upon graduation. Pokémon Technical is the educational facility for exceptional students who want to become Pokémon trainers in a very short time without having to travel on difficult badge collecting journeys," said Brock.
"Come on, Pikachu! Burn that extra fat!" said Buster.
"Feel ze burn," said Fifi. As Brock was reading, he suddenly made the tread mill go faster and Pikachu tripped and fell off the treadmill. Brock turned off the treadmill. "Oh, so that's the story," said Brock.
"Getting into the Pokémon League without badges is too easy," said Ash. Pikachu angrily kicked the treadmill, but only hurt his foot, making it red.
"But wait, there's more. Student entrance fees are kinda expensive," said Brock.
"You know what that means, don't you? It's one of those snobby private schools that only millionaire kids can go to," said Misty.
"Oh, that really makes me mad! Where is this place?!" asked Ash.
"It's right over there," said Joe, pointing ahead of Ash.
"Today's special class, fog battle techniques has now ended. Tomorrow's lesson will be snow competition secrets," said a female voice over an intercom. Joe sighed.
"Oh well. I guess they'll make me into a snowman again," said Joe.
"Do they treat you like that all the time?" asked Tommy.
"My friends were just trying to help me. But now, these Perfecto Prep students have taken over our lessons," said Joe.
"You call them friends?!" asked Ash.
"With friends like that, who needs enemies," said Fowlmouth.
"But they helped me learn that Pidgey evolves to Pidgeotto at Level 18. It learns Whirlwind at Level 21, Wing Attack at Level 31 and as it level rises, it learns various tricks. After evolving into Pidgeot, it can fly at 1,200 meters in speeds up to mach 2," said Joe.
"I don't get it. If you know everything about Pidgey, why didn't you just answer them before?" asked Ash.
"Sometimes I make them believe I don't know all the answers. Because if I do, they'll ask me questions that are much harder. But I have to stay at Pokémon Tech. My mother and father worked hard and saved money so they can pay to send me to school here," said Joe.
"Geez, what a slacker. He's wasting all the money his parents paid to get into him into the school," said Shirley. Joe turned his attention toward a guy sitting near a tree.
"You see that guy over there, he's an upperclassman. The classes are so hard here, some students are held back for many years. Everybody is too ashamed to go back home without a diploma. That guy, he's in the beginner's class with me," said Joe.
"You're a beginner?" asked Ash.
"Beginners have the same qualifications as someone with two badges. The intermediate classes have the qualification of four and advanced students have the same as six. If you graduate, you enter the Pokémon League without traveling around to collect the badges. That guy's a beginner, but he's so much older than anyone in the class. The kids don't bother to help him as much as they help me," said Joe.
"What did the teacher say about that kinda help?" asked Mary.
"They don't even know about it. If they do, they pretend not to. Things have gotten worse ever since the Perfecto Prep students came along. They took over the school, hog tied and locked up the staff who knows where and have confiscated everybody of their Pokémon. Anybody who doesn't work or study hard, they lock in the dumpster, which they almost did to me if you didn't come along, Ash," said Joe.
"Well, I for one think this is a violation of student rights that must stop immediately, if not sooner!" said Mary.
"I wanna met the student in charge of this system and I'll see that it stops!" said Ash. Joe took out a photo from his jacket.
"Here's a picture," said Joe. Everybody stared at the picture. The photo pictured a brown-haired girl.
"It's a girl?" asked Misty. Brock blushed at the sight of the girl in the photo.
"She can violate my rights if . . . ," said Brock.
"Hey! Eef she's making your life so miserable, how come you're carrying her picture around?" asked Fifi.
"I hate the way she treats us, but I like the way she looks," said Joe.
"Yeah. Not like some other girls who treat you badly and look even worse," said Buster.
"While you're slobbering over that dopey picture, I'm gonna find that little witch and straighten her out!" said Misty.
"About that. She's been oppressed as much as the other students," said Joe.
"She is?" asked Mary.
"Yes. After the Perfecto Prep students defeated her in a Pokémon battle, she's been reduced to a maid to attend to their needs. Some of the boys even sexually harass her with inappropriate comments and groping," said Joe.
"I get it. They're doing it on purpose. Think about it, guys. Joe says she was the best Pokémon Trainer in the school. Therefore, if they humiliate and break her, they break the spirit of the rest of the student body," said Brock.
"Cruel, but effective for jerks like them," said Ash.
"Well, I'll show those Perfecto pinheads a thing or two!" said Misty as she prepared to storm into the school. But then, Buster grabbed Misty by the waist.
"No, Misty! That's a death sentence! You don't know these guys like we do!" said Buster.
"They're cruel and unrelenting! They will eat you alive!" said Joe.
"So what do we do?" asked Ash.
"We have to play it smart. Okay, here's what we do," said Buster.
(Insert "Team Rocket's Secret Strategy" from Pokémon)
A few yards from where Ash and his friends were at, Team Rocket were spying on the heroes. Meowth was using binoculars. Then, they eyed the Pokémon Tech school. "That place brings back memories, James," said Jessie sadly.
"It certainly does, Jessie. And all of them are awful," said James mournfully.
"Tell me a tale of failure again," said Meowth.
"We studied for the big tests," said Jessie.
"So sure we would beat all the rest," said James.
"And here's the part that I like best," said Meowth.
"We've frolicked all night. For our future seemed bright," said Jessie.
"But things weren't right," said James. The two thieves hung their heads down.
"We've got the lowest scores in the history of the school!" cried Jessie & James.
"You should look on the bright side," said Meowth.
"What's the bright side?" asked Jessie & James.
"At least you guys were at the top of the bottom," said Meowth. But then, both Jessie and James hugged Meowth and began to say nice things about Meowth. These two are worse off than I thought, thought Meowth.
(End Music)
Joe led Ash and co. into the school. "The Perfecto Prep students practice here," explained Joe as he along with Ash and co. exited off an elevator. Ash and his friends were wearing disguises to blend in. They all wore school outfits. Some of them wore wigs and glasses to hid their faces too. They were led to a room full of students on computers. They looked sad since they were oppressed by the Perfecto Prep students. "Nobody has been able to beat them in battle ever since they took over," said Joe.
"More likely they cheat. They always cheat in the sport events they compete in against us," whispered Buster.
"Even though I'm at the bottom of my class, I'm still more powerful than someone with two badges," said Joe.
"Hold on a second here! I've learned to be a Pokémon Trainer at the Cerulean City Gym! Are you saying you can beat either of us?!" said Misty.
"Aw, Cerulean City," said Joe, turning on a nearby computer. "Water Pokémon," said Joe. On the computer was simulator of a Weepinbell fighting a Starmie.
"How'd you know?" asked Misty.
"I always beat 'em on the simulator, see?" asked Joe. Everybody saw the Weepinbell take out the Starmie.
"What is this?! A simulation's one thing, but this is real life! Let's battle!" said Misty, angrily taking out Starmie's Pokéball.
"I can't. Because they took my Pokémon once they took over," said Joe.
"Le what? Zen what's ze point of learning to be a Pokémon Trainer if zey won't let you keep your Pokémon?" asked Fifi.
"In order for a student to get their Pokémon back, we have to learn to fight like they do," said Joe.
"In other words, they're trying to turn you all into a bunch of cheaters like them," said Buster.
Outside, Team Rocket were climbing up a tree. Using the binoculars, they were overhearing the conversation. "Pokémon Tech has been a shell of its former self," said James.
"Great. More toons. Rotten toons," said Jessie.
"There you are, Joe," said a female voice. The voice belonged to Rhubella Rat, Roderick's girlfriend. Margot Mallard and the other Perfecto Prep students were with them too. Everybody saw Giselle too, who was dressed like a maid.
"Who are these guys?" asked Margot.
"These are some people who came to join our school," fibbed Joe.
"It's Margot Mallard and Rhubella Rat," said Hamton. Everybody saw Giselle, who looked miserable. Brock felt pity for her.
"Poor girl," whispered Brock.
"I used to be the top student in the beginning class of the most exclusive prep school in the world. Pokémon Tech. But now, I've been reduced to a maid for these creeps," said Giselle sadly.
"Hey, where's my lemonade?! It should've been brought to me by now!" said a boy student.
"Here," said Giselle, handing it to the Perfecto Prep student. As she was leaving, one of the other boys groped her in the butt. Giselle yelped as the boy Perfecto Prep students snickered.
"I think she was more conceited than we are before those Perfecto Prep students took over," said Jessie.
"Yes, but she's awfully cute, isn't she, even as a maid," said James.
"Not as cute as Meowth," said Meowth. Jessie and James growled and punched him.
"You're in the way!" said Jessie.
"Stop bothering us!" said James. The punch sent Meowth flying into the air.
"Meowth!" screamed Meowth as he disappeared.
"We want to continue to help our classmates be the very best they can be," said Roderick.
"To teach each other, respect each other and insure the Pokémon of tomorrow," said Rhubella.
"But you're a weakling," said Danforth to Joe.
"Uh . . . ," said Joe.
"You better get stronger fast or before you know it, your fellow students will turn their backs on you for good! Hmph!" said Margot. She turned around and was beginning to leave.
"Not so fast! A true friend wouldn't walk away from someone who needs their help! You may look beautiful, but you remind of an old saying about how beauty is only skin deep!" said Misty.
"Heh. Jealousy is not pretty either, is it?" retorted Margot.
"I better do something," whispered Buster.
"Wise Pokémon Trainers never get involved in a cat fight," said Brock.
"Pika?" asked Pikachu.
"I see," said Buster.
(Insert "Who is Stronger Epic Battle" from Pokémon)
"And what Pokémon do you intend to use against me?" asked Margot.
"I choose . . . Starmie!" said Misty. She threw the ball and Starmie was summoned.
"Against your Water Pokémon, I'll choose . . . Graveler, go!" said Margot. Margot threw the Pokéball and the chosen Pokémon came out. Graveler was a living, bipedal boulder. Its skin becomes tougher when it evolves from a Geodude. It also had four arms, but mainly uses the longer two to lift things, using the shorter two as a defense against attackers. Ash got out his Pokédex to get data on Graveler.
"Graveler, the Rock Pokémon. Graveler is the evolved form of Geodude. A slow walker, it rolls to move. It pays no attention to any object that happens to be in its path," said the Pokédex.
"Graveler? But Rock Pokémon are weak against Water Pokémon!" said Brock.
"My Pokémon are at such an advanced level that they can beat Water Pokémon," said Margot.
"But that was my Graveller," said Giselle. Margot suddenly slapped Giselle, knocking her down.
"You lost the right to use Graveller after you were beaten the day we joined this school. And we told you, only speak when we tell you that you can," said Margot. Ash's clenched his hands tightly in anger. He couldn't stand another minute seeing this cruelty. This had to stop. Graveler grunted and jumped into the air. The Rock Pokémon began to descend toward Starmie. Starmie jumped out of the way before Graveler could stomp on it. Graveller jumped backwards, rolling toward Starmie in the air. Starmie fired a Water Gun, but it wasn't stopping Graveler. But as Starmie was firing its Water Gun, it suddenly froze for some reason and stopped firing Water Gun.
"Come on, Starmie! Fight back!" cried Misty. Starmie tried to fire another Water Gun, but it couldn't for some reason. Graveler rammed Starmie in the core, shattering its precious gem. Starmie was sent crashing out the window and into a pool. "I can't believe it," said Misty sadly.
(End Music)
Very soon, Misty got Starmie out of the pool. She covered the hole in Starmie's gem with her hand. The others were outside as well. "Hmph. Looks like you were all bark and no bite," said Margot.
"Looks like we're gonna have to confiscate you of your Pokémon until you learn to battle like us," said Roderick. Misty's eyes widened hearing this.
"No please! I worked hard to raise my Pokémon!" said Misty.
"Ha! By the way I beat you, you probably slacked off on some of your training," said Margot. Ash and the toons may hate Misty for always bullying them and pestering Ash about her bike. But seeing Misty being threatened with her Pokémon in danger of being taken away, they couldn't stand there and do nothing.
"Pokémon are only as strong as the trainer who raises them. A Pokémon that's weaker, but trained can still win. It depends on the Trainer. I hope you're listening to this, Joe," said Roderick.
"Uhh . . . ," said Joe.
"A Pokémon's level of training is just as important a factor as a Pokémon's type when deciding a match. A first class Pokémon Trainer can calculate that," said Rhubella. The Perfecto Prep students were about to seize Misty's Poké Balls when Ash stepped forward.
"Not so fast!" said Ash.
"What's this?! You dare question our rule?!" asked Roderick.
"Rule?! The way I see it, all of you are nothing but heartless bullies flaunting your power over the students! Especially since this school wasn't yours to begin with!" said Ash. As Ash argued with the Perfecto Prep students, Shirley was troubled.
"What eez ze matter, Shirley?" asked Fifi.
"During the battle between Misty and Margot, I sensed psychic energy coming from somewhere. It was concentrated on Starmie," said Shirley.
"Sacrebleu. You zink eet may be ze cause ov ze cheating?" asked Fifi.
"I don't think. I know. And I'm going to find out what it is," said Shirley. And she began to leave along with Buster. Shirley began her psychic powers to track it down.
"Who do you think you are, boy?!" asked Roderick. Ash decided to drop the act and threw off his disguise. "YOU!" said Roderick.
"That's right! And I have a name! I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet and I've already got two badges!" said Ash.
"In other words, you're a beginner. And how long have you been trying to become a Pokémon Trainer?" asked Roderick.
"Two months," said Ash. Roderick gasped.
"Two months already and you let your Pikachu run free? Have you been able to tame it yet?" asked Roderick.
"Pika?" asked Pikachu.
"Maybe your Pokémon are training you," said Roderick.
"Chu," said Pikachu.
"Pikachu's my friend and so are Butterfree, Pidgeotto, Shroomish, Seedot and Rattata and everybody else!" said Ash.
"Is that all you have?" asked Roderick.
"What's so important about asking me that question?" asked Ash.
"You have more than six I see, for a new Pokémon Trainer," said Roderick.
"Every one of my Pokémon helped me get my achievements!" said Ash.
"With two months of Pokémon Trainer, your Pikachu should be at Level 25. But its not there, is it?" asked Roderick.
"Chaaaa," growled Pikachu angrily.
"I suppose you don't know much about Pokémon if you picked a Pikachu as your first one. Pikachu tend to be hard to handle. It says so in any beginning Pokémon manual," said Roderick. Ash growled angrily.
"You really didn't know and you still got two badges? How funny! A Pikachu evolves into an electric Pokémon called Raichu. It gets to about 2 feet and 6 inches tall. Pikachu can shock you, but otherwise its pretty cute, don't you think. So if you don't let them evolve, they make great pets, especially for little girls. But I'm sure you knew that, didn't you? Of course you didn't!" said Margot. She began to laugh.
"Knock it off! If you know so much about Pikachus, answer me this question! From what Pokémon does Pikachu evolve from?" asked Ash. Margot, looking surprised began to think. "Aha! There's something you don't know. It evolves from a Pokémon called Pichu," said Ash, taking out a picture of one. A Pichu was a small ground-dwelling rodent. Its fur was very short, and it was pale yellow in color. The tips of its large ears were black, and it had additional black markings on its neck and tail. Its tail was short, but still bears some resemblance to the large lightning-bolt structure it will develop later on in life. It had pouches in its cheeks, which were pinkish colored and used for storing small amounts of electricity. Its nose was extremely small, almost like a dot. It is classified as a quadruped, but many have been known to walk easily on their hind legs.
Ooh la la. I didn't think Pikachu would be so cute as a baby too!, thought Fifi.
"Despite their size, Pichus can release bursts of electricity that can shock even humans. However, Pichu are unskilled at controlling their electricity, and sometimes release if by accident when surprised, or when laughing and shock themselves," said Ash.
"That doesn't change a thing. Cause we're still the best," said Roderick.
"That's rich, coming from a school that specializes in cheating all the time!" said Ash. Perfecto Prep's eyes widened hearing this. "That's right! The Acme Looniversity students told me about how you cheat all the time! You probably cheated in your fight to humiliate Giselle. And what's to say you cheated in the fight against Misty!" said Ash. Ash smirked, deciding to add the final nail to the coffin. "In other words, because you are not confident to win on your own and resort to cheating . . . you are the beginners," said Ash with a smirk.
"Ooh!" said Buster and his friends.
"Burn," said Joe with a grin. Roderick gnashed at his teeth and his clinching his fist so hard that his nails dug into his hands, causing them to bleed.
"Nobody talks down to Perfecto Prep students like that and gets away with it! There's only one way to settle this! I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!" said Roderick.
"I'll prove I'm not weak by battling! And also, if I win, you are to give the students back their Pokémon, vacate the school and never show your faces around the students and staff again!" said Ash.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"But if I win, we get your Pokémon, and you along with all your friends will be locked in the dumpster . . . for life! We cannot allow any witnesses to roam free!" said Roderick.
"Careful Ash. It's most likely they cheated in Misty's battle. So they're bound to cheat in this match too," said Mary.
"I know. But I we can't just sit around and do nothing," said Ash.
(Insert "A Huge Free-for-All" from Pokémon)
"For your Pikachu, this should be more than a match. Cubone, go!" said Roderick. He threw the Pokéball and the chosen Pokémon came out. Cubone was a ground Pokémon just like Graveler. It was a small Pokémon that stood up on two legs. Its golden-brown hide covered its arms, legs, tail, and most of its body, including both dorsal spikes. Cubone's belly was a very light brown. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as thumbs for Cubone, and two large nails make up its toes. On its head, Cubone wore the skull of its dead mother, so much of its actual face has never actually been seen. The skull was worn like a helmet in such a way that the only visible part of Cubone's face is its eyes and a small area surrounding them. Cubone's eyes were triangular and white with black irises. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head, and under the skull, Cubone had a brown snout, with two fangs protruding from its mouth. It carried a bone as a weapon.
"Cubone, bone, bone, bone," said the Pokémon. Ash took out his Pokédex once again to get data on Cubone.
"Cubone, the Lonely Pokémon. Cubone always wears the skull of its deceased mother on its head and never shows its face. It cries mournfully in the moonlight," said the Pokédex.
"Careful Pikachu, since Cubone is a Ground-type, your electricity won't work. You'll have to use other tactics to win," said Ash.
"Pika," said Pikachu.
"Please win this match, Ash. Our freedom along with our Pokémon's freedom are at stake. You can't afford to lose," said Giselle.
"We told you to speak only when asked to!" said Danforth as he smacked Giselle.
"Pikachu, start the battle with Swift!" said Ash. Pikachu fired a couple of glowing starts, which hit Cubone.
"Oh yeah?! Cubone, Bone Club!" said Roderick. Cubone charged at Pikachu.
"Pikachu, dodge it!" said Ash. Pikachu began to dodge each swing that Cubone executed. Seeing that he was getting nowhere, Roderick made some signal that was unseen by everybody except his fellow Perfecto Prep Students. "Pikachu, use Quick Attack!" said Ash. Pikachu started to run. But suddenly, something bad happened. Without warning, Pikachu froze in place, just like Starmie. Ash and his friends gasped. Jessie and James also gasped too. Roderick snickered.
"Cubone, Bone Club!" said Roderick. Cubone charged and whacked Pikachu with its bone club.
"Pikaaaaa!" cried Pikachu.
"Pikachu!" cried Ash and Fifi. Pikachu crashed to the ground. But he managed to get back up.
"This is just like when I was fighting against Margot. Pikachu froze in place like Starmie," said Misty.
"This is bad," said Mary.
"Pikachu, try to use Swift!" said Ash. Pikachu tried to use the attack, but something froze him up again.
"Cubone, Boomerang attack!" said Roderick. Cubone threw his bone, which hit Pikachu.
"I don't know what you're doing, but you better stop that cheating technique you're doing to Pikachu! How are you doing it?!" said Ash.
"We're not telling! This is our battlefield, so we make the rules! The only way you are going to win is to go down to our level!" said Roderick. And he let out an overconfident laugh. Ash growled angrily.
Jessie and James were mad too. "We can't let them beat Pikachu! If they do, that'll prove Sweetie's lies about him being not valuable right!" said James.
"We'll step in if things get out of hand!" said Jessie.
Buster and Shirley continued their search until Shirley stopped outside a specific door. "It's here," said Shirley. She used a new psychic technique she was experimenting with that allows her to see into another room. She saw two Perfecto Prep students with a Psychic-type Pokémon. It was a bipedal Pokémon that resembled a tapir. It had tired-looking eyes, a short trunk above its mouth, and triangular ears with brown interiors. The upper half of the Pokémon's body was yellow and the lower half was brown. A wavy line separated the two halves. It had a round belly and short legs. Its feet were brown, except for its two toes, which were yellow. The bottom of each foot has a small, round, pink pad in the middle of it. There were three fingers on each of its hands. Drowzee was believed to have a common ancestor with its fellow Psychic Pokémon, Munna and Musharna. The room they were in were behind Roderick's part of the arena.
"That kid made a bad mistake trying to mess with Perfecto Prep," said Student #1.
"Yeah. As long as we have this Drowzee keep freezing Pikachu in its track, like we did with Giselle's Pokémon, Misty's Starmie and the other Trainers we fought, we'll always win," said Student #2.
"Drowzee, freeze Pikachu again," said Student #1.
"Drowzee," said Drowzee. It's eyes glowed blue and Pikachu was frozen again, which allowed Cubone to strike him with another Boomerang. Buster and Shirley growled angrily.
"It's time we put a stop to their cheating," said Buster.
"Like, totally," said Shirley as she took out her Abra's Poké Ball. She pressed the button and Abra was summoned. "Abra, those students in there are using a Drowzee to help Roderick cheat in his match against Ash. We must stop them," said Shirley.
"Abra," said Abra. Shirley and Abra's eyes glowed and they used their psychic powers to force the door off of its hinges. It sent the door flying forward and it hit the two Perfecto Prep students. They yelped as they got hit by the door.
"Drowzee?" asked Drowzee.
"The jig is up, you cheaters!" said Buster.
"Like, totally!" said Shirley.
"Oh no!" said Perfecto Prep Student #2.
"It's the Acme Losers!" said Perfecto Prep #1.
"It's Acme Looniversity, you jerks!" said Buster.
"Drowzee, stop them!" said Perfecto Prep Student #2. Drowzee's eyes began to glow as it prepared to try to free Buster and Shirley in their places.
"Oh no you don't! Abra, Reflect!" said Shirley. Abra created a barrier, which the psychic attack from Drowzee reflected off of. Instead it hit Drowzee, freezing it instead. The two students gasped seeing what happened. Shirley and Abra then froze the two students with their psychic powers as well.
"That should take care of them," said Buster.
"Hey, is anybody out there!" said a first voice.
"Get us out of here!" said a second voice.
"Huh?" asked Buster and Shirley.

"Cubone, Boomerang!" said Roderick.
"Cubone!" said Cubone. It threw its bone once again.
"Pikachu, dodge it!" said Ash. Roderick smirked thinking that Drowzee would freeze him again. But unfortunately for him, Pikachu successfully jumped over the spinning bone. Roderick's smile faded.
"What?!" asked Roderick. Pikachu jumped onto Cubone's snout. When Pikachu jumped off, it caused Cubone's bone mask to spin around. The ground Pokémon couldn't see a thing! Roderick gasped.
"Go on, Pikachu! Give it everything you've got it!" said Ash.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"This can't be happening!" said Roderick. He jumped toward Cubone and bit Cubone in the tail.
"Cubone!" cried Cubone. Pikachu then began to scratch Cubone in the back. Pikachu then kicked Cubone's mask, spinning it around. The mask moved back to its normal position. It's eyes widened, for its own bone club was coming right at it! It tried to dodge, but it was too late. WHAM! The bone club hit Cubone right in the face. Cubone fell to the ground on his back.
(End Music)
"NO!" cried Roderick. Cubone began to cry like a baby.
"We did it!" said Ash.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"I lost," said Roderick. He got angry and went up to Cubone. He kicked Cubone. "You idiot! How could you lose to a Pokémon you were supposed to have the type advantage over?!" yelled Roderick. He was about to strike Cubone again when Giselle finally had enough. She ran toward Roderick and tackled the rat. "Hey!" cried Roderick. The two began to wrestle.
"Leave my Cubone alone!" said Giselle.
"It's not yours anymore! Remember?!" asked Roderick.
"I don't care! It was mine to begin with!" said Giselle. Everybody heard some glass crashing as the two students with the Drowzee were sent flying out of the window. The Perfecto Prep students gasped when they saw Buster and Shirley.
"Hey! Those two are from Acme Looniversity! If they're here, then that means . . . !" said Margot. The other Acme Loo students then threw off their disguises.
"We're here!" said Hamton. Giselle finally kicked Roderick off of her and picked up Cubone.
"It's okay. It's okay. Don't cry. I'm here. Shh. Shh," said Giselle. She turned to Ash. "None of the textbooks said about Pikachu winning with other tactics than electricity," said Giselle.
"How's that for weak?" asked Ash.
"You're stronger and smarter than I thought," said Giselle.
"That was a once in a lifetime battle," said Joe.
"And don't try to copy it. It was kind of a fluke," said Misty.
"It was a cool fluke, wasn't it?" asked Joe. Jessie and James were outside the fence that was around the pool. They saw the whole battle.
"There's another way to win that's not in the text books too. Isn't there, James?" asked Jessie.
"Let's show em!" said James. Ash turned to Roderick.
"Alright, I won the battle. Now you must give the students back their Pokémon and leave," said Ash. Now Roderick was really mad.
"No way! Nobody humiliates me and gets away with it! My fellow students, lock them ALL in the dumpster!" said Roderick. The students started to advance toward Ash and co. But before they could seize the heroes, smoke began to fill the air.
"Huh?" asked Roderick.
"Oh no! It's not . . . ," said Ash.
"Allow us to reintroduce ourselves!" said Jessie & James.
(Insert "Team Rocket Motto, Kanto-Johto Version" from Pokémon)
"To protect the world from devastation!" said Jessie.
"To unite all peoples within our nation!" said James.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" said Jessie.
"To extend our reach to the stars above!" said James.
"Jessie!" said Jessie.
"James!" said James.
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" said Jessie.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!" said James.
"Meeeeeowth!" screamed Meowth as he fell into the pool with a splash. Meowth jumped out of the pool and landed on his hind legs.
"I love a splashy entrance," said Meowth.
(End Music)
"I've heard of Team Rocket. You're the ones who got the worst grades on the entrance exam," said Giselle.
"What do you want?" asked Rhubella.
"We're not going to allow you to lock Pikachu in the dumpster with the twerps!" aid Jessie.
"And why do you care?!" asked Roderick.
"Cause we need to steal that Pikachu so he'll help Team Rocket conquer the world cause he's the rarest and most valuable Pokémon in the whole world!" said Meowth. The Perfecto Prep students laughed.
"There are Pokémon more powerful and more valuable in this world! And Pikachu isn't one of them!" said Margot.
"You dare mock Team Rocket! You're going to suffer the consequences for insulting us!" said Jessie. But then, something hit Team Rocket and Perfecto Prep, knocking them down like bowling pins. The one who did it was a wild Sandshrew that was curled up into a ball, but uncurled.
"Sandshrew!" said Sandshrew.
"A Sandshrew?" asked Ash. The Sandshrew growled at both Team Rocket and the Perfecto Prep students.
"You better back down, you little walking brick wall, or you're going to be sorry!" said Roderick.
"Wrong! All of you villains are going to!" said a voice. Everybody turned and saw that it was a group of adults. Perfecto Prep's students eyes widened.
"It's the teachers!" cried Roderick.
"That's right. This blue bunny and psychic loon found us and freed us," said Teacher #1.
"You Perfecto Prep scum are gonna pay for locking us up and oppressing our students," said Teacher #2. Shirley and Abra then used their psychic powers to snatch all the Pokémon that the rogue students confiscated from the students.
"Hey!" cried Roderick. Every Pokémon Tech Student grabbed their Poké Balls.
"Time to teach you ruffians a lesson for dragging Pokémon Tech's name through the mud!" said Giselle.
(Insert "Silly Psyduck" from Pokémon)
All the students let loose all their Pokémon from their Poké Ball. Team Rocket and Perfecto Prep's eyes widened in horror. The Pokémon then attacked the bad guys with all their fury as payback for their abuse. Roderick Rat got zapped by a group of Electric-type Pokémon, with his skeleton showing, cartoon style. Danforth Drake was roasted into roast duck by the Fire-type Pokémon's burning hot attacks. Rhubella was drenched in sludge and gunk from the Poison-type Pokémon, but she wasn't poisoned. Margot was pelted by rocks from the Rock-type Pokémon, including Giselle's Graveler. The wild Sandshrew attacked Meowth by not just rolling over him several times, but scratching him too. All the other Perfecto Prep students and Team Rocket were attacked by random Pokémon. Giselle's Cubone charged and whacked Roderick with all it's fury with its bone club . . . right on the groin. Roderick let out a loud girlish scream as he clutched his jewels. The ground Pokémon whacked him again, sending him crashing into his fellow students and Team Rocket. All of them then fell into the dreaded dumpster. As Roderick was recovering, the dumpster lid slammed on his head. "OUCH!" cried Roderick. He then fell unconscious. A student's Growlithe fired a Flamethrower, which sealed the lid shut.
"Ready Abra?" asked Shirley.
"Abra," said Abra. The two psychics then lifted the dumpster into the air with their psychic energy. They then threw the dumpster away from the school.
"Look's like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" cried Team Rocket.
"OH SHUT UP!" cried Margot. And the villains disappeared into the distance.
(End Music)
All the Pokémon Tech students cheered loudly. "We're free!" cried Student #1.
"Freedom!" said Student #2. Ash then found himself getting hugged by Giselle.
"Thank you! Thank you for helping evict those Perfecto Prep snobs out our school! I thought I'd be a maid to those savages for life!" said Giselle.
"Your welcome. I had to do what to do," said Ash. Without warning, Giselle began to plant a big kiss on Ash's cheek. Everybody gasped in surprise due to what they were seeing. Giselle then broke the kiss, leaving a pink kiss mark on Ash's cheek. Ash stood there blushing with bewilderment, earning a giggle from Giselle and some of the other girls. Pikachu spotted this as a chance to tease Ash. He giggled before making kissy faces to mock Ash. He resumed giggling. But he didn't laugh for long. Fifi scooped Pikachu into her arms before forcing a big kiss on his lips.
"Mmmmmmmwah!" said Fifi as she kissed Pikachu.
"Yuck!" groaned Pikachu.
"Zat was for doing a good job against Perfecto Prep," said Fifi. She then let out a giggle. Giselle approached Fifi and Pikachu.
"Can I give him my thanks too please?" asked Giselle.
"Le sigh. Okay," said Fifi. Giselle picked up Pikachu and began to hug him.
"You're such a brave Pikachu. I used to think your species were only good as pets for girls. But today, you proved me wrong," said Giselle sweetly. She then gave Pikachu a big kiss on his cheek, leaving a pink lipstick mark.
"Double yuck!" groaned Pikachu.
"Aaaawwww. What's the matter? Are you afraid you're gonna get cooties?" teased Giselle. Both she and Fifi then let out girly giggles.
The Sandshrew approached Ash and stared at him. "Shrew," said Sandshrew.
"Me?" asked Ash. Sandshrew nodded. Shirley used her psychic powers to read Sandshrew's mind.
"I don't believe it. This is the same Sandshrew that you rehydrated back at Mt. Moon. It followed us all the way here," said Shirley.
"Is this true?" asked Ash.
"Shrew," said Sandshrew.
"I think it wants to come with you," said Buster.
"You should totally add him to your Pokémon team. Since it's a Ground-type Pokémon, that means you'll like, have an advantage against Lt. Surge's Electric-type Pokémon," said Shirley.
"Do you want to come with us?" asked Ash.
"Sandshrew," said Sandshrew.
"Okay," said Ash. He took out a Poké Ball and Sandshrew tapped the button. In an instant, the Poké Ball opened and Sandshrew was transformed into energy that was sucked into the ball. The ding that is heard when a Pokémon is caught sounded instantly.
(Insert "Fanfare! Get Pokémon!" from Pokémon)
Ash then held up the Poké Ball that contained his brand new Pokémon. "Alright! I got a new Pokémon! It's Sandshrew!" said Ash.
"Pi Pikachu!" said Pikachu.
(End Music)
(Insert "A Meeting & Parting" from Pokémon)
The sun was now setting at the Pokémon Tech School. Giselle was siting near the pool. Mary Melody and one of the teachers was present too. "So what's going to happen?" asked Mary.
"Well, after what Perfecto Prep put Pokémon Tech through, all the unfair rules and techniques will no longer be used. Not only that, the school will enforce a zero tolerance policy when it comes to bullying. Never again will we turn a blind eye," said the Teacher. And the teacher left to take care of some other things.
"There are just some things you can't learn in school. And that's a good lesson," said Giselle. Just then, Joe approached Giselle.
"I'm going back home to start from scratch with my first Pokémon. Just like Ash did. Hey, Giselle. Maybe we'll meet someday in the Pokémon League," said Joe.
"I hope so. I'll try my hardest to be a worthy opponent if we do," said Giselle.
"Alright if I keep your picture with me?" asked Joe.
"Sure. I have pictures of my friends too," said Giselle.
"Huh? Do you have mine?" asked Joe.
"We're friends now, aren't we?" asked Giselle as she got up.
"Good luck, Joe," said Giselle, extending her hand. Joe then shook Giselle's hand.
"You too, Giselle," said Joe.
"See? Why can't you and I be like that, Misty?" asked Ash.
"Huh? I'll tell you exactly why. Because you still owe me a new bike," said Misty.
"Weell you quit eet already?!" yelled Fifi, pointing her tail at Misty threatening like a gun. Misty groaned in annoyance.
"So, maybe we'll battle each other once my Pokémon recover from the abuse they were put through, someday," said Giselle to Ash and Misty.
"I sure hope so," said Misty.
"Me too," said Ash. So as Ash and his friends journey on, they take one last look at the school where they learned so much.
(End Music)
Elsewhere, the dumpster landed on the ground, shattering to pieces. Team Rocket and the Perfecto Prep students all ground as they recovered. They were covered in bruises, cuts and black eyes from the Pokémon attacks. "My head," groaned Roderick.
"My pride hurts more than my body," groaned Rhubella.
"Perfecto Prep, what a stupid name," taunted James.
"The way you allowed yourselves to get beaten by the twerps, shows you're not Perfect," said Jessie.
"Maybe you should change your name to Imperfect Idiots," said Meowth. He began to laugh at his bad joke. Roderick's face turned red in anger before he let out a loud yell. He tackled Meowth and they fell to the ground. "You're breaking my arm!" cried Meowth.
"That's because I can't reach your neck!" yelled Roderick. Suddenly, Jessie and James kicked Roderick off of him. "GET THEM!" yelled Roderick. The Perfecto Prep students charged at Team Rocket. The three thieves screamed as the rogue students chased them into the sunset.
