Poke High

Enrolling

"Mom! You should've woken me up! I'm so late."

Ash said hurriedly as he quickly gathered his things, shoved them into a bag and ran downstairs.
Even though he almost tumbled down the stairs, he managed to make it down in time for breakfast, just that there wasn't any time left for breakfast. He hesitated to go without taking a bite. His mouth was watering but the clock was ticking.

"Oh, you packed food for me? Sweet! I can skip breakfast carefree now! See you later, Mom!"
He said as he rushed through the door.

"This boy, I swear. He barges in after all these years and still hasn't changed a bit."
Mrs. Ketcham couldn't help but chuckle at this thought.

Seventeen year old Ash Ketchum was finally enrolling into PokeHigh  where every aspiring pokemon trainer goes to, either making it big or becoming just one of the many who failed to make an impact.
This was a gamble for sure, but Ash knew that already. He wasn't scared of a little risk. All these years of adventures had prepared him for that already.

"And now for the most important part."
He mumbled to himself.
He turned towards the Pallet town Pokemon center and quickly rushed in.

"Nurse Joy! I'm running late! Is he ready to go?"

Ash asked as he tried peeking through the window.
His head suddenly slammed on the door as Nurse Joy opened the door without any warning.

"Ouch!"

Ash looked up at Nurse Joy hurtfully, patting his hand over his head.

"I'm so sorry! My eyesight is getting worser by the day. Are you okay?"
Nurse Joy said worriedly.

"It's fine. Is he ready?"

Ash said getting up, still rubbing his head.

"Oh! He's readier than ever! I haven't seen him so energetic in a while. It must be a big day for the both of you."

"It sure is! We're finally enrolling in PokeHigh"
Ash said excitedly.

"About time! I'm looking forward to seeing how you do. Best of luck! Now don't be late, hurry up little guy."
Nurse Joy said looking at the bed, just to see that it was empty.
Ash's little friend was already on his shoulder, ready for this journey and just as excited as his owner.

"Pikapi! Pikachuu"

Nurse Joy smiled at Pikachu's exclamation and wished them well.
Ash nodded at her reassuringly and rushed out the door.

"Now what do I do about my eyes? Maybe it's about time I saw a doctor. Should I call my cousin to take care of the hospital.."
Nurse Joy sighed as she rolled the bed back to the room.

"Daisy! Have you seen my bag? And my shoelaces? Oh and can I borrow your hairband?"
Misty asked while hurriedly trying to sort out her things.

"Hey! Wake up Togetic! There's no time."
Misty said shaking togetic, attempting to wake him up.
Seeing as he refused to budge, Misty sighed in defeat and picked him up.

Running downstairs in a hurry, she came across Daisy.

"Oh, Misty! Where you calling for me earlier? I'm sorry if it was something important, I was too busy with my work that I couldn't hear clearly..."
Daisy said placing her hand on her chin.

"And by that you mean your manicure."
Misty sighed as she began searching for her things.

"Hey now, that is a part of my work"
Daisy said smiling at Misty and going along her way.
