"Ash, your scholarship result letter has arrived. Here go ahead open it and read it aloud," Oak says while handing him a letter.

Ash takes the letter which has the seal of the Kalos Institute of Pokemon.

"OK. Fingers crossed. I swear I have never been this nervous. Not even before a Pokemon battle," Ash says in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

He then opens the letter with trembling hands. Once open, he proceeds reading the letter.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

Dear Mr Ketchum,

We are pleased to inform you that you have successfully passed the KIP entrance examination and have been accepted as a student at the Kalos Institute of Pokemon.

The term starts on the 26th of this month. You are expected to arrive, confirm your student position and check into your room by 5 PM, the day before. A private jet, which shall ferry all the selected students from the Kanto region, shall be present at the airport in Viridian City on the 24th of this month.

"That's wonderful, sweetheart. I am so proud of you. Well done," Delia says as tears trickle out of her eyes.

Without a moment's thought, she gives her son a big hug and a peck on his cheeks. Pikachu and Mr Mime also look extremely happy with this outcome.

"Congrats Ash. I hope you'll do well there." Tracey congratulates Ash.

"Indeed young man. Congratulations indeed. Now, before we start celebrating with your mom's food. First take out your plane ticket. When does the flight leave?" the professor asks while beaming from end to end.

"Alright. As you say, professor," Ash replies as he takes out the ticket.

"No way !!" Ash inspects the ticket which causes him to suddenly jump out of his skin.
