The Pokemon Summer Academy

One day the gang were running in a panic. "We are going to be late!" shouted Ash. "This is because Dawn was messing about with her bedhead!" shouted Tomo. "Hey don't put the blame on me!" shouted Dawn. "We have to hurry!" shouted Brock. The gang continued to run till they ran through a gate. "Phew we made it at last" sighed Ash. "But you are still late" said a voice. It was from Prof Rowan. "I welcome you to the ruin research facility on Mt Coronet or, for purposes, your school". Thing is once a year in summer Prof Rowan and his assistants ran a pokemon summer school, like a pokemon summer camp, for a week at one of Prof Rowan's research facilities at Mt Coronet. So the gang were taking a break of their journey to join in the pokemon summer academy.

At this academy the students who attended it would split up into three teams; a red team, a blue team and a green team. During the week the students take part in different activities and earn points for their achievements. And by the end of the week you find out which team has the most points and wins the whole competition. Prof Rowan's assistant Yuzo told everyone to look at the black board to see which team they would be in. As it turns out Ash, Tomo, Dawn and Brock were all in the red team. There was a little surprise for the gang. Conway, who they met at the Hearthome tag team tournament, was attending the pokemon summer academy too and he was in the blue team.

"I have to say it feels a bit strange attending a school again; I haven't been at school since I was nine years old" said Ash. "Same here" said Brock. "This is my first time going to school" said Tomo. Ranger Jenny taught Tomo to read and write and other things when he lived with her so he never went to school like other kids. "You'll be alright Tomo," said Ash "just pay close attention to the lessons and if you do have trouble with something just ask a teacher; they are always there to help a student. And do not yawn when you get to a boring lesson; teachers absolutely hate that". "Got it" said Tomo.

Prof Rowan and his assistants welcomed all the students to the academy. Then they explained what the first activity at the academy was. The students were to have a pokemon battle with each other, but not with their pokemon. The activity was the students were to team up with the pokemon they were given. One of Prof Rowan's assistants presented a box filled with pokeballs. No one knew what pokemon they were getting so each student just had to pick.

Tomo made a grab for a pokeball, but someone else grabbed it too; it was a girl with short green hair and she looked very tomboyish. "Excuse me but I got to this pokeball first" said Tomo. "Oh really," said the girl "I take you don't know the rule about it being ladies first". "What, you're a girl?" said Tomo. The girl looked so tomboyish Tomo didn't recognize her as a girl. "The name is Angie," said the girl "and I challenge you to a battle". Tomo didn't like Angie's rude attitude and accepted the challenge. But Prof Rowan reminded them they were to bond with the pokemon they picked out. Angie's pokemon turned out to be an orangey monkey type pokemon with a flame on its tail.

Tomo looked at the pokemon on his pokedex: Monferno, the playful pokemon. The evolved form of Chimchar. It uses ceilings and walls to launch aerial attacks. Its fiery tail is but one weapon.

"Cool so my Chimchar will evolve to that huh?" said Tomo. Angie said hi to Monferno, but it looked away; it was a moody type pokemon. Tomo and Growlithe thought it was a bit funny. Tomo tossed his pokeball and his chosen pokemon was a Raichu. Tomo said hello to it but Raichu dug into the ground; it was a shy type. Angie thought this was funny; Tomo and Angie had hit a rough start with each other.
