New Beginning (Pearlshipping-AshxDawn)

Chapter Three

Ash walked into Alex's room and walked over to his bed, shaking his shoulder.

"Alex, wake up." he said.

Alex muttered something and opened his eyes, looking at his dad.

"It's time to get up and get ready for school." Ash said.

Alex blinked sleepily and nodded his head.

Meanwhile, Dawn walked into Julia's room and walked over to her bed.

"It's time to get up, Julia." she said, shaking her gently.

Julia rolled over and looked at her mom.

"It's the first day of school." Dawn said.

Julia nodded her head and sat up.

Today was Alex and Julia's first day of the third grade.

As Dawn set the plates down on the table for breakfast, Alex walked into the kitchen. He was wearing a pair of blue jean shorts, a light blue polo, and black and blue sneakers. Alex sat down at the table and started eating. A few minutes later, Julia walked into the kitchen. She was wearing a white plaid pleated skirt, a white collar shirt, and black boots. This outfit was one of the outfits that her mom had gotten her in Kalos from Boutique Couture. Julia had decided that she didn't mind dressing up and had asked for her mom to buy her some clothes that were a little more girly. After all, she was going to be a coordinator one day.

Once the Ketchums had finished their breakfast, they got into Dawn's car and drove towards Twinleaf Elementary. Once they arrived at the school, Dawn parked the car and they got out.

"Have a good day." Ash and Dawn said, hugging their kids.

"Bye, love you." Alex and Julia said, pulling their backpacks onto their shoulders.

"Love you, too."

Alex and Julia turned and headed towards the school's front doors. As they walked into the school, they saw students standing in the foyer and halls, talking, laughing, and hugging one another.

"The two walked around, looking for their friends. After walking for a few minutes, Julia spotted Grace's pink hair and saw all of their friends standing together by the wall.

Alex and Julia hurried over to where they were and Grace was the first one to spot them.

"Hey!" she cried, hugging Julia.

"Hey, guys." Alex greeted.

"Hey," Julia greeted.

"I hope that we're all in the same class this year." Alan said.

"Yeah, me, too." said Anthony.

Alan and Anthony hadn't been in the same class as the others' last year.

Grace was wearing a yellow sun dress and white flats and her pink hair was pulled into a high ponytail. Isla was wearing a pair of cut off jean shorts with a white tee with a smiley face on it and blue converses. Alan was wearing a pair of dark jean shorts, a red tee, and red sneakers. Anthony was wearing a pair of light blue jeans, a black tee, and black boots. Trey was wearing a pair of black jeans, a white tee, and white sneakers.

"That outfit is amazing, Julia. Where did you get it?" Grace asked.

"Thanks. My mom got in Kalos from Boutique Couture." Julia replied.

"Well, it's fabulous. I hear that that store is hard to get into."

"It is, you have to be stylish to get in. Luckily, when my mom told them that she was a Top Coordinator, they let her and my dad come in."
