The one week for the inter regional students went by just like it was a grin of sand. Sadly, coincidences don't occur when you want them to. Ash hadn't faced Serena for a single time during the whole week. Calem as the Alolan champ, had a whole bunch of Torrential cronies at his feet. Also , some girls always tried to hit on him. To Serena's chagrin , he enjoyed that very much.Dawn had a hearty reunion with Ash and introduced Neo to him. The got along pretty well. Zappy and Pikachu also were good friends. However , the two Mouse Pokemon had a rough start ,they got into a fight about what is better : Ketchup or Jam.

It figures that Lillie's mother was now accompanied by Some G-Men officials on her quest to find Mohn. After Lusamine heard about C.U.T. , she encouraged Lillie to attend, it in order to increase her knowledge. Also, she knew that finding Mohn may take a lot of time and she didn't want Lillie to get depressed due to it. All her life, she was concentrated n Aether Foundations, but now she wanted to be a good mother. Gladion was to accompany her on her quest i n search of his father. And he was planning too, however , while reading an article about Torrent, he came to know that some people of Torrent had rather prejudicial and discriminating views regarding women. Lillie was a shy and innocent girl. Right away, he consulted his mother.

Now he was living in an apartment two hundred metres away from the campus. He had his Lycanroc bare his fangs, for any pervert's ass who had any disturbing thoughts about his little sister.

Almost all the students have arrived and settled in their dorms. Ash's dorm had space for six people. Consulting his future father in law or the principal, Goh had manged to setup their dorm. It now had Ash, Goh, Gary, Paul, Drew and Neo.

They had gotten their schedule. Neo's favorite Schedule was Tuesday's. Ash preferred days with Physical Education Periods and Battling classes. Drew adored the ones with Contests/Performing education. In Paul's opinions all the days were Pathetic.

___________________________________________________________________________

Today was the first day of C.U.T. All the stuff like welcome speech and ceremonies and all were done the day before. Serena was stuck with Miette and four Torrential Tanned girls. Calem was also living in dorm with his five fans turned cronies.

Well going to Ash's dorm, it was five in the morning. Neo was the only one awake. It was not on his will though. He sometimes had instances of insomnia . He was unable to sleep sometimes..well, many times(in real life too). Just like last night.He never told anybody about it. It was not a matter of importance , right?

He hated to be unable to sleep. Sometimes, he was sleepy like hell but as soon as his head would hit the pillow, the sleep would go away. Periods will start from seven after breakfast.

After a nice warm shower,Neo spent the next hour playing chess with Rose, who was a morning Pokemon. Yeah he had taught Rose how to play his favorite game. Rose had taken interest in Chess ever since she was a timid Raltz, although, at that time, she only understood the concept of Black pieces and White Pieces. As soon as the clock hit six, Paul got out of bed, followed with Drew and Goh.

"Morning," Neo greeted the three.

"Morning," The three greeted back. The four then went out to feed all their Pokemon. Paul's Aggron was being friendly with Inferno, which Paul rarely saw. Goh's Cinderace tried to hit on Rose, but backed off,scared of the look Blitzfang gave him. Paul's Electivire lauged loudly when Zappy told him a joke. Drew's Roserade , Paul's Torterra and Joker socialized with each other.Shadow and Weavile were also friendly with them. All of the Pokemon seemd Happy together when Neo felt a tugging on his pants. He looked down to see a worried Pikachu.

Neo quickly kneeled to his level ,"Something, wrong ,pal?"

"PIKACHU!" the yellow mouse anxiously gestured towards the dorm and began to run towards it . Paul , Drew, Goh and Neo quickly followed suite after returning their Pokemon. They thought that something had probably happened to either Ash or Gary.

Neo and Zappy were the first ones to enter the dorm. As soon as Paul, Goh and Drew entered, they saw Neo and Zappy sprawled on the floor, anime style.

"What happened , Neo!" Goh exclaimed.

Came Neo's week voice,"Pikachu's ketchup supplies ran out."

___________________________________________________________

Serena got out of the dorm she and Miette Shared. Miette along with her.

On the airport, as soon as Miette saw Serena , She planned to tease her about Ash. However , as soon as Serena said,"Miette! Meet my sweet boyfriend Calem!", she decided to rest the matter for a while, not knowing that how in hell Ash Serena about Ash. Also, she didn't wear her Blue ribbon! How is that possible, if someone even touched it, Serena would kill them and now?

Removing the thoughts, Miette followed Serena outside her dorm, there she met Calem who grabbed Serena's hand roughly and pulled her towards Cafeteria. There , they saw a large table , eight Torrential girls around it. Only one chair was empty. One of the girls, who had a curvy and attractive body got up walked towards them, making sure to sway her hips in the process.

Serena looked insecure.

Miette's face chortled with disgust. That girl loved attention.

As soon as the girl reached them, she played with her red hair and puckered out her already puckered lips,"So, you wan't to eat breakfast with us? We have one seat left," She then came close to his ear to speak in a sexy tone when Serena wasn't looking,"especially for you."

Miette, however noticed but she thought that how 'good' Calem was according to Serena, he would politely refuse.

"Okay,fine. I am coming."

Serena looked at Calem with hurt evident in her eyes.

As Calem, ignored Serena and began to walk away, Miette saw that Serena felt humiliated. Perfect. The first step to separate her friend and rival from this fucker.

However, being a friend, she can't stand while Serena came closer to crying. She grabbed her hand and led her to a table for two in the corner. As they sat down, Miette muttered,"It's evident that he isn't loyal or reliable."

Serena's face changed to one of anger as she snapped,"He is just trying to make friends that's all."

"Oh, yeah? He could have just refused that girl."

"He is a champion, Miette! He can't refuse his fans!"

"Yeah, whatever. I am gonna go get breakfast. "

________________________________________________________________________________

Ash, in his new outfit ,with his mask on along with Gary ,Drew ,Pikachu and sat around a Table that was out of Serena's view. They were waiting for Paul ,Neo and Zappy who had gone to get breakfast for everyone. Pikachu sat in the center of the table. Goh had gone to get breakfast with Chloe and could be seen seen on the table next to them, cleaning some bread crumbs over Chloe's lips in a rather steamy way.

______________________________________________________________________________

Before Serena was completely out of sight, Miette quickly peered towards Calem's table. Serena's back was facing Calem's table, so she couldn't see anything. What Miette saw filled her with Anger. Calem's tongue was travellin down the throat of the bitch who invited him. Yeah, what a fanbase. She reached for her pocket. Darn! Did she had to forget her phone today only?

Fuming over the cheater, Miette went to the counter.

ONLY IF SHE KNEW, HE WAS MUCH MORE THAN A CHEATER.

____________________________________________________________________________

Neo and Paul stood at the counter , waiting for their breakfast to be ready. Zappy stood beside Neo.

Neo tried to socialize with Paul. However, he took the wrongest approach possible.

"You ever chased after girls?"

Paul turned his face to make eye contact with Neo. From the look Paul gave, Neo was sure he would follow in Lucas's footsteps but to his surprise, came the normal reply,"No."

Jeez. This chap was strange, first gives a look like Neo committed a sin and then gives a normal answer.

"Okay," Neo nodded, not daring to take the socialization process further.

_________________________________________________________________

Ash then saw Paul and Neo carrying two trays each while Zappy carried one over his head, supporting it with his tail.

"Here comes breakfast," Neo informed as they sat down. The trays were distributed between the five people. Ash removed his mask in order to eat. Neo took the plate that Zappy carried. In the side, it had a small puddle of jam. Today's breakfast was a Torrential one.Sweet roles called Bolos, hot coffee and some toast and cheese.( TORRENT IS BASED ON SPAIN...IF ANYONE READING THIS IS FROM SPAIN, PLEASE INBOX ME SO I CAN PUT THE SPANISH INPUTS IN IT AFTER CONSULTING WITH YOU).

Soon after everyone had finished breakfast, it was time for the first period. Everyone took out the copy of their schedule. Goh and Chloe probably had the same first periods as they happily walked away, hand in hand. Gary had mathematics along with Drew. Paul had Chemistry. Ash had Physics while Neo proved out to be the luckiest. Pokemon battling class.

The five parted ways, promising to meet at the play ground.

_________________________________________________________________________

Ash had just entered the class for Physics that was at the end of the middle corridor of the third floor. He had his mask on. He proceeded to sit down at the right corner at the last. He kept his bag down after taking out a notebook and his textbook. Pikachu laid it on the ground, using the bag as a couch for a power nap.

In case someone might be wondering, Ash had given his name Red Younge. Keeping his father's first name and his mother's maiden surname. Soon students began to flood. Ash then saw someone who filled his heart with bliss. A honey Blond girl. She was sitting in somewhere near the middle, her back facing him. As she turned to set her hair, her identity was assured when Ash saw her cerulean eyes. Soon the teacher,a middle aged brown haired woman, entered and introduced herself, Ash didn't hear anything, except that her name is Maria Mott.

She was just thinking about the girl that sat only few seats away from him.

The first girl he befriended.

The first girl he hugged.

The first girl whose hand he held.

The first girl he told his mantra,"Never give up until it's over!"

The first girl whose departure made him depressed.

The first girl he forgot about.

The first girl who understood him.

The first girl who kissed him.

The first girl who...

........ he loved.

__________________________________________________________________

As soon as reached the Ground which had four battlefields in it and was the place for the battling class, he got a surprised, he saw a man who he met the day Dawn introduced him to Ash. He was standing where the teacher is supposed to be ?

He was sleek and tall. He wore ripped black pants and a hoodie of the same color. He had piercing green eyes. His hair were blond with five thick tufts covering his right eye.On his wrist, he wore a red Z-ring, which Neo thought to be some wrist watch. One couldn't blame him, he had never been to Alola.

As the lines formed in front of Gladion, a student called out in a disrespectful way,"Huh! Now a teen's gonna teach teens!"

Several other morons who were like him begin to laugh at Gladion.

Neo then spoke up in an impulsive way,"Shut your holes--I mean mouthes. I know him via my friends. Goldeen is a very capable trainer !"

Gladion couldn't decide who to be angry on. O

Shaking his fury away, Gladion tried to introduce himself," I am Gladion Aether. Your teacher in battling and the former final Elite four Of Alola."

Neo and Zappy had formed an 'o' with their mouths, clearly impressed.

Just then the jerk from before muttered loud enough for Gladion to hear,"More Like an elite-fool." Chuckles began to commence among the students. Gladion still remained quit until the same boy spoke,"I heard he has a sister. Saw her. She could entertain us for a while."

Okay. That does it. Humiliate Gladion, he won't say aything. However,put a finger over his sister, he is gonna destroy you.

Gladion then turned to the sixteen year old, a gruff chap with white hair. Gladion had to do something to quit this chap, nobody get away after trying Antagonize Lillie. This was a battling class. He would challenge him to a battle. No, he can't do that himself. Right, now, with the aggression he felt, he could seriously destroy this kid's pokemon. His gaze then went over to the free living black haired guy with the Raichu by his side.

"Hey! What are the names of you two?" Gladion inguired while looking at the two.

"Dan is my name," The white head replied in sassy tone.

"I'm Neo," Came the reply from the boy who called him 'Goldeen'.

Gladion then smirked to himself and announced,"In my opinion, battling must be most interesting concept for a trainer, so to the start of the battling class in this new academic session would also be interesting. Therefore we start this academic year with a friendly one on one battle between our two students : Dan and Neo!"

Although, in his mind, Gladion wished for Neo to ravage Dan. He didn't mean the word 'friendly'.

__________________________________________________________

Physics class was going smoothly . The teacher bickering about Pressure and what . He could see Serena . Seeing her made him the happiest. He remembered Serena's gift she gave him on the escalator. He now understood what it meant. He wasn't that dense anymore. That dense shell of his was broken the instant Serena's soft lips touched his. His eyes were shining after that.

All he hoped now was that he could reach Serena as soon as possible and -

"MR YOUNGE!"

"Yes ma'am!" Ash tensed up as he stood up.

"I have called your name for three times before ! Do you even know the answer to this!" Ms Mott yelled. Ash had immediately taken a disliking to her. She was pointing to the board which had an calculation written on it. Ash didn't know what it was. He was far too busy thinking about Serena. Ms Mott let it pass. Since it was the first day of School.

___________________________________________________________________________

"Trainers bring out your Pokemon!" Gladion yelled as he acted as the referee.The battle was happening on one of the four battlefields of the ground with Neo on the right side.

"Metagross, crush them!" Dan yelled as he threw a Pokeball. Out of it came a metallic spider like pokemon with red eyes. Each of its iron legs had three claws at the end.

"METAA!" the iron leg pokemon roared.Neo too took out a Pokeball, one he just got after sending Shadow to Unova region to Professor Juniper.

"Come on out ,Crusher !" Neo too threw a pokeball, out of it came a draconic beast. It was blue in color with red spikes on its body. It had wings and a very hard red head with yelow irises. It had an olive underbelly with muscular arms that were bigger that its legs.

"Druddigon! " the unovan Dragon roared, ready to fight.

Gladion raised his arm and then brought it down,"LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!"

"Metagross, Psychic!"

The iron leg Pokemon's eyes glowed blue as Crusher was surrounded by the outline of same color. She was then raised up into the air and slammed onto the ground Neo had been in many situations like this. He knew what to do.

"Crusher, flamethrower!"

As Metagross raised Crusher to slam her into the ground, the drddigon let out a stream of fire from her mouth, heading straight towards Metagross. It Hit straight at its leg, causing a damage enough for Metagross to lose his hold over Crusher.

Dan's expression became furious and he impatiently yelled," Flash Canon!"

"Crusher, Water Pulse!"

Metagross opened his mouth and released a beam of metallic shine while Crusher brought her hands close and formed a glowing blue ball of water type energy, which she launched.

The beam and the sphere collided, causing a minor Explosion.

Neo took the opportunity to command," Fire spin on the battle field!"

While the smoke was still there, Crusher released swirling streams of flare that joined to become a cyclonic jet of fire that traveled across the battlefield.

When the smoke cleared , the battlefield was burning red, making Metagross unable to move due to his weakness to heat. Crusher on the other hand was flying over the battlefield, waiting for a command. But Gladion knew that the match already was over.

_________________________________________________________________________

Ash was now half attentive at the class. His main focus was Serena, he always kinda felt jealous whenever he saw Goh and Chloe together. He wanted to see her reaction. He wanted to hug her, curl her honey blond strands in his fingers and --

RIIINNGGGG!!!!!!

Yes! The period is over ! Time to meet Serena, he saw her getting up and heading for the door in a hurry. Ash too got up and began to go for the door but he was sitting as he was sitting at last so the students in front of him were escaping the classroom before Ash. As finally he got out , to his disappointment , Serena was nowhere in sight. But,he was happy that She was here. Eventually she will run into him eventually. He then ,along with Pikachu on his shoulder, walked Downstairs for Physical Education class. There he would meet Misty. It would be good.

He quickly got downstairs and jogged towards the sports field. It was lush and very large. Many stables were also there.

As soon as he reached, he got the surprise of his life. At the center of the field stood Misty, alright. Next to her was a certain Rhyhorn racer. 

"Good morning ! Class, I am Grace Yvonne , your physical education teacher. "

"And I am her assistant , Misty Waterflower. "

_______________________________________ ______________________________________

All those classes went by smoothly, as Ash began to move towards the playground, he heard a thumping  noise near a corridor, as he went to inspect, his heart broke. There was Serena,pinned to the wall, her legs wrapped around Calem's waist, his  hands on her hips. On seeing Calem's face , Ash remembered when he lost his title. He remembered his depression. How he was inappropriate to his mom. How his last words to her were full of rudeness and hate. How there was a possibility that Delia might have killed herself due to the condition he put her in.

He remembered how he was worthless. All the possibility and hope for a new start was lost
