Ash Ketchum Attends Duel Academy

Arriving in Kanto

"What do you mean we're back in your world?" Alexis questioned him.

It wasn't exactly easy to explain what he meant, so Ash put that on the back burner for now.

"Let's just say that we somehow appeared here." Ash simply stated.

Teddiursa slowly opened it's eyes and saw Jasmine.

It then wrapped it's paws around Jasmine's neck and hugged her.

"How sweet." She smiled at how affectionate the Pokemon was being.

Ash had a idea why Teddiursa was really hugging her.

"Um Jasmine, he's not just hugging you because it's sweet." Ash told her.

He went on to say that when a Pokemon hatches they imprint on the first person they see.

"Aw, no fair." Mindy complained, pouting that Teddiursa hugged Jasmine and not her.

"Hold on! It thinks I'm it's mother!?" Jasmine was flustered.

Jasmine then started freaking out when he explained what was really going on with Teddiursa.

"I'm too young to be a mom." She cried. "What am I going to do?"

"You know. I might be able to help." Alexis offered her roommate some assistance.

She didn't quite understand what Jasmine was going through with the baby Teddiursa, but it was essentially like looking after Pikachu.

They took a walk around the area. To the west was a cave entrance.

'Are we in Vermilion City?' Ash thought, curious.

A blue-haired girl with a beanie hat on her head was in the city to compete in a Pokemon Contest. Walking close by her was a small blue penguin.

At the same time...

The others were exploring Vermilion City. Ash had hid Pharaoh before they entered the city. He didn't want their cover to be blown.

'I also don't want Pharaoh to be mistaken for a Pokemon.' He thought.

They take a look around the area, having split up into pairs to cover more ground.

Ash's group, which consisted of Alexis, Jaden and Pikachu, headed towards the Pokemon Center and bumped into the blue-haired girl from earlier.

"Sorry about that." Ash apologized to her.

"It's okay." The blue-haired girl apologized in return.

Alexis and Jaden had no idea who this was, but Ash and Pikachu did.

"That voice." They recognized who was speaking.

"Ash." The blue-haired girl spoke.

"Dawn." Ash said her name.

The two then hug each other. Dawn then proceeded to hit him on the head out of nowhere.

"Ow. What was that for?" Ash complained after rubbing his head.

"You suddenly disappeared and caused us to worry!" Dawn yelled at him.

"It's not my fault!" Ash waved his hands.

"Then who's fault was it?" Dawn asked.

Jaden then got between the two.

"Chill out." Jaden suggested.

"This doesn't concern you." Dawn snapped at him.

Dawn then calmed down after snapping at Jaden.

"Sorry about that." She apologized for her outburst.
