ASH POV

As I lay silently on my warm bed, thoughts bounce around my head like many Spoinks in a small box. Should I accept? Or should I not? The million-dollar question that I couldn't answer.

If I do accept then I would gain amazing magical powers. I would also create groundbreaking connections with Pokemon. That sound so Awesome just thinking about it

But then I put the lives of everyone I care about at risk. I could destroy the peace of prosperity pokemon enjoy. And if my mum finds out she is going to flip. Or faint one of the two. What if people at school find out? Then they will treat me like an outcast.

If I don't accept then my life goes on as normal. Go to school get talked down to, then come home and get talked down to even more. But at least I will not have to worry about destroying the flora and fauna of a whole alternate dimension right?

What am I saying, I have no idea what to do?

Annoyed, I cover my face with my hands, letting out my frustration as I breathe heavily. "Dad. I wish you were here," I croak thought my fingers.

Suddenly a bright light appeared in front of me illumining that black night around me. When it dissipates I see a tall man dressed in a red jacket, red hat and blue shorts. Like me but in red.

"Dad," I shout. I ran to the figure, enveloping him in a loving hug. But when I do, the feeling of loneliest and nothingness lingered in my body. My body phased through his like a sailfish gliding in water. I bow my head in sorrow. The ghost of my father then places his palm hand over my shoulder. My body then suddenly was coursing with warmth, removing all the darkness left in it.

"Life is full of tough decisions. You can't make them any easier."

"But, what should I do? Can you help me?"

"The decision is yours. Only you can make it. Choices are the hinges of destiny. Only you can shape your own."

"But what if I choose wrong?"

"No matter your choice I will always love you. Your life changes the moment you make a new and committed decision. So when you make your decision, put your whole heart into it. Embrace it. No matter what you choose you will face challenging obstacles that will test your mind and body. But you have to keep pushing. There are going to be high's and lows caused by your decision. But remember there has never been a smooth mountain. It's going to be a rocky journey. But when you reach the top, the end of your journey, you will know that you have made the right choice." He then releases his hand from my shoulder. The feeling of warmth oozing out of my body rapidly.

"No dad wait!" I bellow.

"I love you, Ash." He calmly exclaims. I then reach out to grasps his redshirt but to no avail. His ghostly figure fading into the curtain of the night. The colour of the darkness once again encapsulating my body. And the cold feel of loneliness returns filling my body with fear.

"Pika?" I hear an innocent voice squeak behind me. Without looking I know its Pikachu

"Pikachu? What are you doing here?" I question while facing away from him.

Suddenly I hear the yelp "Pika Chuuuuuuuuuu," with the crackle of electricity being unleashed.

3rd Person

It's a beautiful clear day in the small town. The sun rays cascading down over the mountain that shadowed around the town. The citizen of Pallet Town all awake, or waking up ,to start their day. Well, almost everyone. The boy was still fast asleep, in his comfy bed with little care of the world around him. Caught up in his own mystical world, imagined in his head. Little did he know, there was a yellow guardian angel watching over him throughout the night. Through his bedroom window. Suddenly a small pink kitten-like creature with a long tail glides over and places it self-next to Pikachu. "Wow, you really are a stalker Pikachu. Watching Ash while he is sleeping what else are you going to do," Mew exclaimed in its native tongue.

"What. What the hell mew!? I'm just watching over him because that is what Arceus told US to protect him." Pikachu yelped.

"Yeah. He told us to protect him. Not watch him in his sleep," Mew replied.

"He could die in his sleep Mew! Someone could murder him! And if he doesn't wake up soon then he will be late for school." Pikachu defended.

Confused, Mew asked, "School?"

Pikachu facepalms when hearing this. "Urg. I'll tell you later. First, we need to get into his room... But how?" Pikachu announces.

"Break the glass dummy." Mew retorted.

"We can't just break into his room. That makes me look even more creepy. We have to be hidden." Pikachu criticized.

"Yeah cause staring through his window is hidden," Mew remarked.

In a fit, Pikachu threw his paws in the air and huffed, "Ugh you are so annoying." Mew chuckles at the behaviour. "O yeah cause this is really funny. You listen here, you annoying little bra-," Mew then used teleport to silence the rant. Transporting the small monsters into Ash's room. Pikachu falls onto his stomach, clinching at it.

"Ugh. What happened? My stomach fills like it's been sat on by a Snorlax" Pikachu remarked while in pain.

"I teleported us into his room." Mew innocently stated.

Pikachu suddenly whipped back onto his feet and hissed, "Why didn't you do that in the first place!"

"Cause it was fun. I can see you are excited to be in here." Mew replied.

"CaUSe iT WaS FuN" Pikachu mocks. Suddenly the sound of Ash's bellowing snores echoed his room. "Come on let's wake the Snorlax," Pikachu announced. He then leapt out on his bed and yelped "Pika pi (wake up)." The wild Snorlax doesn't response. "Ugh, guess we will do this the painful way." Suddenly the red checks bubbled with electricity. "Pika Chuuuuuu," the electric pokemon yelped, coursing its electricity onto the sleeping giant.

"Ahhhhh," Ash bellowed while he was rudely awakened. He then looks around to see what happened and notices Pikachu and Mew. With a scowl on his face he then angrily questions, "What are you guys-"

"Ash, is everything all right?" A feminine voice yelled from bellow.

"Everything fine mum. I- I just fell over and landed funny that's all."

"Ok, be careful next time." She naively replies.

Ash then turns his attention to the culprits in front of him. Pikachu backs away in intimidation.

"What are you guys doing here!" Ash hissed.

Mew then answered, "Pikachu he has been watching you while you been slee-."

"What the hell, you were watching me!?" He yelped

"No. Don't listen to the annoying child. We were tasked to protect you by Arceus."

"Ok? So why wake me up?" Ash asked.

"Because you are going to be late for school," Pikachu calmly stated.

Ash's eyes dilate when hearing the news. "WHAT THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP EARLIER" He yelped while beginning to put his blue clothes on.

"Cause this thing kept annoy me," While pointing towards the Pink legendary.

"Hey, I'm the reason we are here right now." Mew retorted.

"Will you two babies stop, it's like a bunch of Taurus are running through my head." While hopping around to put on his jeans.

Mew then sees a peculiar pillow and announces, "Hey look is that the Typolhison pillow you were talking about"

"Not the time mew" Pikachu mumbles.

"It also never the time for being a creep" Mew shot.

"For the last time, I was not being a creep. I was expertly protecting Ash," Pikachu gasped.

"Are you two done? Because I am ready to go" Ash announced while putting on his red baseball cap.

"We will meet you at the bus stop". Pikachu answered. Ash nodded his head and sprinted out of his room. Running down the stairs where Delia was waiting at the front door.

"Ash we have to chat this afternoon, you been acting... different," Delia exclaims while Ash was tying his shoes.

He then finishes with his shoes and exclaims, "Ok mum. Bye. Love you." And then quickly leaves the house. That boy never stops moving Delia thought. She then closes the door and goes back to her daily duties.

***

"No. Wait I'm right here," Ash yells when he sees the bus pulling away from his stop. He then stops and sits down on the bench panting heavily sweat beading down from his black raven hair. Like a fast-flowing river.

"Ah, Sh-t. What do I do now?" Ash mumbled.

Suddenly Mew and Pikachu levitate down. Into a nearby bush. Ash then stood up walked towards them. He then sees Pikachu panting for his life. Pikachu then asserts, "I'm never letting you levitate me again."

"Good, cause I didn't realize you are so heavy." Mew spat.

"Guys stop. I missed my bus now and I'm going to be late for school." Ash solemnly states.

"We can help." Mew voiced.

"How" questioned Ash.

"Well, what is one of my special abilities... Hint its to do with my moves." Mew quizzed.

"You... You can use any move! Can you use teleport?" Ash beamed with his face filled with hope.

Mew giggles at the boy's enthusiasm and exclaims, "He is smart. Unlike you Pikachu."

Pikachu huffed, "As smart as my as-,"

"What was that" Mew interrupted.

"Nothing." Pikachu murmured.

Ash then lifted his fist and ordered, "Well, what are we waiting for lets teleport."

Concerned with the effects Mew warned, "It may be weird for you since it's your first tim-"

"I don't care let's go!" Ash injected.

Pikachu scared with the prospect protested, "Wait no let's think about thi-, "His protest is then drowned out as Mew seemingly blinks them out of existence.

Behind all the main buildings of Pallet High. Behind a little hill, there was a flat area that had trees providing shade. It was where Ash went to eat.  To get away from the harsh world. It was peaceful. Silent... Well until they came along. Suddenly, the 3 musketeers appeared, blinking back into existence, with Ash a Pikachu collapsing to the ground.

"I feel like I've been slapped by one of the females when trying to flirt with them," Pikachu mumbled.

"I feel like I've been punched by Giovanni." Ash gasped. He then lifted his head to see his surroundings. Suddenly, he leapt onto his feet and shouted, "O my gosh that was so cool." Mew giggled at his reaction. He then admitted, "Thanks mew you saved my as-."

"Who there? Show your self!" A female voice demanded.

Ash hastily turns to the two small Pokémon and ordered "Quick hide." In a flash, mew used its ability to turn invisible while Pikachu scampered up a tree.

Suddenly the female voice rang "Ash? What are you doing here."

Making Ash turn immediate turn away and see a honey blond girl standing in front of him. He then immediately chirped, "Serena. Hey! Hi Serena. Hi Serena. Hi Serena," while flailing his arms about. Mentally, Ash cringed at his reaction. While Pikachu and Mew face-palmed when hearing and seeing the boy in his panic state.

"Your acting weird Ash. Now answer the question what are you doing here this early?" As Serena steps forward, asserting her dominance, forcing Ash back into a tree.

Hesitantly, Ash mumbles"Ummm. Well"

"Well, what?!" Serena demands.

"Well, this is where I usually eat my lunch... It's also where we first meet... Before the first concrete was laid for school. Before a part of the forest transformed into a concrete jungle. This is where we meet. You on the ground with clutching at your wounded right leg. Suddenly, as you call it, your 'knight in shining armour' came to rescue you. This is where we ran to when we wanted to disconnect from the world. This is where we went when you needed couping with breaking up with Calem for the first time. This is where you swore you would never get back with 'that backstabbing, lying, cheating pig' 5 years ago. That obviously went well did it? It was great those times, no electronics, no expectations, nobody to bother us. Just the two here. Talking, laughing to our heart's content. While making memories that should have lasted forever. But apparently you forgot all that. You know cause when Calem came knocking again, you abandoned all our memories and dove right into his arms. Leaving me alone with all the memories you left behind. It's not fun reminiscing when you are alone. Instead, it hurts more. A lot more.

"I... I didn't abandon those memories. They are some of the best times I had in my life. I hold them with the utmost importance."

"Yet you still left me. Even with these memories we forged, you let Calem throw me, like trash, beat me, like a test dummy. You sacrificed me for your own good. Leading the lamb to the slaughterhouse. You didn't even say goodbye to the innocent lamb next to you. You just left it behind to be slaughtered.

"Ash... please I didn't. It was a mis-"

"Mistake... Yeah... And you didn't bother to correct it. For the past 3 years, you have seen me suffer and shrieval up in front of your beautiful blue eyes. Tell me, Serena. The day I became the laughing stock of the school, did you even think about asking me if I was ok?" Serena bowed her head. "That's right. You didn't. No one did besides Gary... Much like how no one bothered to ask what happened to my father? You all assume he left me but in fact, he disappeared with no trace. Chances are he is dead now... I needed friends Serena. Someone I could rely on. I thought I could fall into your arms when I needed them the most. Rely on you. Guess I was wrong... It was a... mistake."

Ash could then see Serena start to tear up. Sympathetically, Ash walks up to her and places a hand on her shoulder. He then announced, "Serena. As much as I hate what you did. I can't bring myself to hate you. Or even really dislike you. It's like you have an aura that affects me when you are around. We have made memories that we will never forget. An unbreakable bond. Even if it's one way. You helped me when I had no one. So I thank you for that. But like everyone else you left me for others. And to be honest. I don't blame you. Who would want to hang around a useless kid like me."

Serena then leapt out wrapping her arms around the broken boy. She then exclaimed, "Ash! I would. I want to come back. Help you. Stay by your side. Walkthrough the fire you face. I don't care if the school looks down at me, as long as I'm with you. These last 3 years have been the worst in my life. Because you weren't there... I will do anything for you to accept me back. Gain your trust... I would do anything for you. Ash, please." The two of them stick together like glue in their embrace. Unable to break eye contact with each other. Ash's chocolate brown eyes mixing with Serena's sapphire blue ones. Their hearts were pounding, and their minds were racing. Serena's arm slowly tightening to ensure he won't escape. But it won't matter. Ash is paralyzed by her embrace.

Suddenly, a booming voice rings around the stadium. Breaking the trance, they were in. "SERENA WHERE ARE YOU?!" It was Dawn.

Ash sighs and shakes his head in disappointment. "I appreciate what you are doing Serena. But actions speak louder than words Serena. A painting paints a thousand words. So if you want my unwavering trust back, you have to act as if you want it. Not say it." He solemnly announces. He then managed to shake off the loving embrace and walks further into the small forest.

Suddenly, the blue-haired girl coming rushing around the corner. Announcing, "There you are Serena. I've been looking everywhere for you.

"Ha. Well, I guess you found me." Serena tried to joke.

" Is everything alright you seem down?" Dawn inquired.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Serena lies.

Seeing through who lives like a hot knife through butter she exclaims, "I know that you are lying Serena. Is it Ash?"

"... I've done terrible things, Dawn. I didn't realise I had the man of my dreams in my arms. My knight in shining armour was in between my fingers and I let him slip through...I'll tell you the rest later. Let's go." Serena then walks past Dawn heading for the school. Dawn then follows.

"So is that what you do when you have a crush Ash?" Pikachu exclaims.

Mew then spits "Pikachu stop teasing him. Just because you can't get any females to like you doesn't mean you tease Ash about his," Pikachu then slumps dramatically at the words. While Ash burst at laughing at his action.

"Its. Ok. Pikachu. Sometimes it's better to go solo." Ash comforts while still chuckling a bit. "Anyways, how are you two going 'protect' me while being undetected. You can't just walk through the front door."

"Well, I can go through the vents of the school," Pikachu suggest

"And I can turn invisible. But make it so only you can see me." Mew added.

"That so co-" Suddenly, a loud roar came from Ash's bare stomach. Ash sweat drops. "I guessed I missed breakfast." He jokes.

"Do you want to go get something to eat?" Mew questions.

"No its-" Suddenly Mew vanishes from his sight. Seconds later the magical Pokémon reappears with a large delicious Iran berry in its hand offering it. Ash thanks mew and then quickly devours it. And joyfully exclaims "My goodness, that was so good. Thanks again Me-" Ash then loudly burps interrupting his thanks. "Hehe sorry," Ash apologizes. Mew laughs at the childish behaviour.

"So what do you want to do?" Pikachu questions.

"Let's just chat. It's been a long time since I had people around at school." Ash answeres.

"Umm. Well, what made you 'the laughing stock of the school." Mew spoke.

Ash blandly spoke, "I made a fool out of myself. The laughing stock of the school... I was distracted with my father's disappearance. And because of that, I turned up with my Pikachu oneziee on."

Pikachu whispers, "And you say I'm the creep."

Mew hits him and spits, "Not the time Pikachu."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Pikachu immediate blurts after. While rubbing his sore shoulder.

"What do you think?" Ash suddenly asked.

"What" the confused Pokémon reply.

"About her apology? Should I trust it." Ash clears.

"Well, obviously I don't know her like you. But to me. It seemed like she was talking from the heart. To me, she was telling the truth." Mew injected. Pikachu nodded.

"You like her still. Don't you?" Mew claims.

"I always did. When I was watching my world burn I was still constantly thinking about her. I was magnetized to her. She came, unlocked the door into my heart then left. Making it rust."

"Ash, I definitely do not know females. But, from what I saw from her it seems to me that she still likes you. She gets really nervous when she sees you. Starts to fidget and gets emotional. She cares about what you say and do. I saw it yesterday and I saw it now. I believe she cares about you but is too scared to do anything." Pikachu announced.

"My father always through that we were meant to be together," Ash exclaimed.

"Can I ask you a personal question Ash?" Mew asked. Ash the nodded "Do you know where your father was the last seen?"

"Vidiran forest... Its where we came out of the portal." Ash answered. Pikachu and Mew take sharp looks at each other when hearing the news. They both then nod there head.

"What was your father like?" Pikachu quizzed.

"A Charming, handsome man with a persistence attitude. He worked his ass off every single day and was rewarded greatly. With recognitions for his contribution to Pallet Town. He engrained the words 'never give up' into my system. And I have followed them ever since. He enjoyed wearing the colour of red a lot. Hence the name Red obviously. That's probably one of the few features I didn't want to take from him. I don't like the colour red. As you can see, I like wearing blue much better."

"He sounds like a good father." Mew injected

"He is..." Ash replies.

"Ash... Do you want to be trained in aura." Pikachu questioned.

"Haven't decided yet. And it would be cool to have some magical powers... On the contrary, I'm scared of the effects of this action. Can I control it? If I can't, Is it going to affect my family?" Ash states.

"It's a hard decision. But know whatever you say, we will always be welcomed back to our world." Mew announces. 

"Thanks. It means a lot."Ash rejoiced.

Suddenly the sound of a bell ringing goes off. Ash gets up from the tree and announces, "Schools about to start. I have to go. Now, remember, do not get spotted." While running off the class.

"Pfff, easy." Pikachu boasts.

"Yeah, it was so easy that you got spotted last time," Mew recalls.

"No... I let him see me obviously." Pikachu responds.

"Yeah, sureeeee." Mew retorts.

Suddenly both Pokémon disappear from the face of the Earth.

"What!. I didn't know you could turn other things invisible." Pikachu shouts.

Mew then exclaims. "Well, that's cause you are a Pikachu and I'm a mew. Duh. Quickly let's catch up to." Both Pokémon then speeds off to find Ash.

Suddenly a booming voice could be heard directed at Ash "Ash. What the hell did you do to Serena? I should done something when I had the chance. Consider yourself lucky."

"Calem!" A female voice shouts. When looking at the source a fuming Serena come barreling through with Dawn and Gary quickly behind her.

"Enough is enough Calem, you stop agonizing Ash right now!" Gary yells.

Shocked Calem demands, "Gary, what are you doi-,"

"Stop. I had enough of this Calem. This is not the person I want to become. I want to help people not destroy them. I want to make this community a better place. Now go to class before I do more serious things to you." When Calem wouldn't budge Serena yanks Calem's arm and drags him to class with dawn and Gary following.

"Who is that?" Mew inquires.

"It's Calem. One of the people who were chasing me yesterday. He hates me because he doesn't like how Serena was so... affectionate to me."

"This is why I don't do relationships." Pikachu mumbles.

"But lately they have become even more worst," Ash reveals.

"Do you know why" Pikachu inquires.

"I heard that Giovanni basically made me open season for them" Ash answered.

"Giovanni?" Mew asked.

"He is the principal of the school." Pikachu

Mew confused

"He runs the place," Ash told.

"O." Mew expressed.

"And he is also my stepfather..." Ash confesses.

"What!" Both Pokémon bellow.

"I know a match made in heaven." Ash chirped. "Look, I got class now. Stay hidden and don't destroy anything. Especially you Pikachu." Ash then turns around and runs to his class.

Pikachu then questions, "Giovanni? Does he mean?"

"Yes, the one Arecus has been talking about. This is bad. We need to tell Arecues when we get back. Also about Red." Mew demands. Pikachu nods. They both then head to the class where Ash is in.

Brock class

Ash POV

Ah, Brock's class, my favourite teacher in the school. He is funny and chill but he can bring down justice when needed. His classes are always so fun and interesting. The conversations can range from making our biology work interesting to talking about his sorrowful love life. Yeah, Brock's love life, its like fire burning wood to ashes. It's not good. Every pretty lady he sees, he falls head over heels for her. He then promptly gets heartbroken by her rejection. But he always bounces back like a rubber ball. He is a determined one with love. Let's say he is obsessed with it. Even worst, he not only cares about his love life but his student's as well. He is as crazy as a monkey when he finds out that there is a new couple in class. Usually resulting in the couple being completely embarrassed. He also tries to matchmake people together. It's a little weird (and creepy) at times but that is just him. You can't have the real Brock without the topic of love thrown in.

Brock then walks into the classroom waving pieces of paper around. He then announces with his booming voice, "Ok everyone to your seat. I have your assessment here." Everyone then hasilty finds a seat to sit, excited to start the lesson. Brock then exclaims, "Your assignment is to be done in pairs. Now I decided to make this task a bit more fun and enjoyable. Your task is to choose 6 characters in a TV show and analyses them. Such as their characteristics, biological makeup, tendencies etc." All the student's eyes light up with excitement.

"Now, this assignment won't affect your overall grade that much. This task is marking you on how well you convey your information, make sure it's in an interesting way, and grammar and punctuation. So, if you fail this, don't worry. This assignment is meant to give you a break from all the torture us teachers have given to you over the years." All the students start chatting and looking around for their partners."

"Hold your horses now. Don't pick a partner yet. The draft is due on Friday. It doesn't need it to be completed just show me the plan of what have and how you are going to illustrate the characters. But I can give you more feedback if there is more information on it. The final is due the Friday after. You should work on this outside of school times. I have already chosen your pairs." Brock announces. Collective groans could be heard from other students but me. Brock then replies "O shush, maybe you will find your partner will be your true love." Everyone rolls their eyes at Brocks unrealistic fantasy. 'Yeah this isn't a novel Brock' I think. "Now, Any questions... Good. I will read out the pairs... O yea. I may have made these pairs in relation to who I believe would make a... good couple." Everyone sat up in their sit with the news. "Don't worry its not every pair. I guess you can try to figure out which ones I did. Now the pairs are on the projector. He then switches on the projector revealing a PowerPoint with the name "Pairs for assignment" and a lot of blurred photos and words. O my God, he put way too much effort into this. He then pressed on his computer making the blurs disappear revealing...

Everyone's face immediately turned as red as a strawberry, and bellowed in unison,  "What the hell Brock!"

Brock then fell off his chair from the booming voices and nervously replied, "Um. Good luck with your assignment. And er... Have fun with your partner?"
