Ash's POV:
"Hey there, Ash! Who are your friends?", Misty asked me seeing Paul and Trip.
"This is Paul. He's from the Sinnoh region, and he is the 3 time winner of the Sinnoh League, and this is Trip, he's the 3 time winner of the Unova League", I introduced them and Misty seemed impressed. Trip and Paul recognised Ritchie.
"Nice to see you, Ritchie", Paul greeted.
"Nice to know you aren't a TOTAL boonie head, Ritchie", Trip greeted causing Ritchie to rub the back of his head nervously.
"Wow! The two of you have won the leagues of your respective regions thrice? That's not a small feat. It's highly impressive!", Misty told them impressed by their performance. Trip shrugged his shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal while Paul snorted.
"They didn't give me a challenge. Nobody knows what happened to Tobias after he lost the semi-finals to Ash. I would've enjoyed my victory if I had defeated Ash. He gave me the greatest battle I could ask for", Paul told her and she wiggled her eyes at me.
"Well, well, well! As long as I can remember, I once knew a guy who battled my Goldeen with a Charmander just because the little guy wanted some action!", she told me and I rolled my eyes.
"As far as I can remember, I won the battle!", I countered causing her to pout.
"I went easy on you because you were a child", she told me.
"Good excuse", I told her and before she could start another round, May came in between us and placed her hands on our chests separating us.
"Alright, that's enough for a day! You've been having a verbal spar since we've been coming from the other side!!", she told me and I just shrugged my shoulders. Then, she saw Paul and Trip.
"This is Paul, and this is Trip. I guess you'll remember them", I told May and she nodded her head giving them a smile.
"I'm May, Ash's cousin", she introduced herself and the two of them gave her an acknowledging smile.
"I'm Dawn, the same, cousin of Ash, and an unfortunate cousin of brown head", Dawn introduced herself rubbing May's head in a headlock resulting in yet another Meowth fight between my cousins. Drew and Gary had learnt to ignore them and the two of them were busy chatting. Trip and Paul just chuckled looking at them fight like small kids.
"I believe we've met before. In case you don't remember me, I'm Gary and this is Drew", Gary introduced himself for both himself and Drew causing the latter to flip his hair and roll his eyes. Paul seemed to strike a friendly rivalry with Gary while I could say the same about Drew and Trip.
"Who is that?", Paul asked me pointing his chin towards Serena.
"I'm Serena, Ash's girlfriend-to-be!", she introduced herself causing me to groan in embarassment.
"Well, nice to meet you, but what does that mean?", Trip asked her causing her to giggle.
"He's too Torchiced to ask me out, that's why I'm his girlfriend-to-be!", she told them wrapping her arm around my waist and stroking my chest with her other hand.
"I understand how you feel. Back in Unova, there were tons of girls behind him, and he wouldn't bother to look at them again. I recall Bianca, Georgia umm....Iris, and uh.....a girl from Johto named Lyra", Trip told her causing me to look at him with a shocked expression. Was he playing with me, or was it true?
"Wow! Lyra followed him to Unova, huh? She was head over heels for him back in Sinnoh", Paul added smirking causing Serena to let out a low whistle.
"So I'm gonna be dating a Casanova, huh?", she asked me teasingly and suddenly pressed her lips to mine, causing me to groan in pleasure. The others were too busy breaking up the fight. Ritchie was busy getting shocked by his Raichu Sparky, and the two of them seemed to enjoy it a lot. Misty meanwhile, was waving a mallet around May and Dawn for some apparent reason.
After a minute or so, at least to the time I could mentally process, we separated and she went back to her room giving me that beautiful smile of hers, and that cheeky wink which SOMEHOW always managed to bring a blush across my cheeks.
"Huh! Who knew YOU'D be in the clutches of THAT diva? I always assumed you'd turn out to fall for Iris", Trip mocked me and I rolled my eyes.
"It's true! She wouldn't stop talking about you when she came to know that I knew you", Paul supported Trip causing me to huff in annoyance. Yet, I was happy to realise that for ONCE, they got along.
Time Skip
"WHO IN THE WORLD CAN TAKE POKEMON BIOLOGY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?", Gary yelled walking to the class like a Slakoth, while Dawn wasn't faring any better either. Somehow, Drew and I dragged Gary to his seat, while May managed to do the same with Dawn, though she herself was rather groggy.
To our surprise, the whole classroom was like the Viridian Forest....behaviour wise. It was like standing in a classroom filled with 4 year olds running on a sugar rush. Dodging the paper Planes sent our way, and avoiding other 'attacks', we got to our respective seats.
Suddenly, a pair of hands covered my eyes from behind, and the familiar intoxicating scent of strawberries and vanilla filled my nose.
"Guess who?", she whispered slowly in my ear.
"I don't know, Misty?", I asked her teasingly causing her to slap my shoulder playfully. Her hands dropped down, and she wrapped her arms around mine rather tightly, placing her chin on my right shoulder. Without even turning, I could nearly see her pouting.
"You are a HORRIBLE liar, Ash! First of all, Misty is a third year student. There's NO chance that we'd share a class with her", she told me and I simply tapped my head with hers.
"STILL not gonna ask me out?", she purred, and I shook my head causing her to scoff.
"Look! There's something....wierd going here, alright? My gut tells me something, and my gut hasn't been wrong before. I just......something does NOT feel right here, blondie!", I told her causing her to slap my chest when I called her blondie, but she gave me a concerned look which I waved it off.
Suddenly, the doors opened and I saw my arch nemesis - the guy I wanted to literally rip apart....Calem.
"Here to help that A-hole of your dad take over the world?", I asked him glaring at him and he snorted.
"You are being paranoid, brother! I am just here to learn...like the rest of you. To answer your question, I am here to follow my father's footsteps!", he told me grinning.
"And pray, HOW do you plan on doing that?", I asked him knowing that I had gained an upper hand.
"Do you even read the newspapers, Chump?", he asked me tossing me a copy of the EveryDayHootHoot.
"Insane prank by Red Xavier! People shocked!
The most successful Pokemon battler Red Xavier had troubled the world by being OPEN as a joint leader of Team Flare. But to the surprise of the public, Red himself arrested Lysandre and brought half of Team Flare to its knees. The police assume it to be a covert operation.

"Believe me now, KetCHUMP?", he asked me mockingly and Serena was already glaring daggers at him, tightening her grip around me.
"How do I know that your piece-of-s**t dad hasn't duped the whole region, and he'll show his true colours in time?", I asked him causing him to growl.
"Do you remember that we share the same father, genius?", he asked me.
"Giving a bloody sperm doesn't make someone a dad, Calem! The word has a HUGE meaning. Though you are on the wrong side, I feel jealous of you, Calem. I just hope you don't have to go through what I've been going through for the past 17 years", I told him and Serena kissed my cheek cuddling closer, and at that moment, he noticed her.
"Oh! Serena? Nice to see you again. I hoped to attend the welcoming event with you, but I didn't receive an invitation from your side. May I know why?", he asked her and she looked away huffing.
"Possibly because you were SUCH a creep? Staring under my skirt the previous time, feeling me once and whatnot!!", she accused him brutally, and his expression hardened.
"You're being paranoid. You're not worth my time. I just thought that I'd be doing you a favour by going out with you. But it seems like you're too stupid to look at it staring at you face to face", he told her proudly.
"I'm famous enough, thank you!", she told him sarcastically giving him a sickly sweet smile.
"Or are trying to get into his pants, like the kind of the girl you are? How many guys have you spread your legs to? I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't have lasted a whole round if you had participated by yourself.....LEGALLY. So, who was it? Monsieur Pierre?", he asked her and her fingernails began to dig into my skin, and I accidentally kicked him in his crotch causing him to double over in pain.
"I'm so sorry! I have leg spasms, which I had contracted by training with Greninja", I told him cheerfully and he began to curse me, limping towards his seat.
"I could've taken him by myself!", Serena accused me, now sitting on my desk and I rolled my eyes.
"I just need an excuse to pulp someone, and thankfully, he was my victim today", I told her and she walked back to her seat visibly rolling her eyes.
It was just a minute for class to begin, but we heard a shriek. Astrid came in with her right arm covered with blood moaning in pain, tears streaming down her face, while Alain was supporting her. What were they doing here? They should've gone to the nurse instead of wasting time with us, and they were second year students too. They might land themselves in trouble.
"We were attacked! Ash, can you send out your Greninja to heal her?", Alain asked me and I sent him out in a jiffy.
"W..who was it?", I asked Alain when he finally calmed down, and he just stared at me.
"Hunter J", he breathed.
