Chapter 1: First day back

Brrrrring! The alarm clock beside Ash's bed rang loudly. He punched the off button and sat up wearily in bed.

"Ash, get a move on! It's 6:30, and you've got to be ready by 7:00!" Ash's mom, Delia called up the stairs to her son.

"I'm up, I'm up," Ash called back. "How am I supposed to get to Johto in 30 minutes to get to school?"

"Well today, you're going to take a train over to New Bark Town. You'll be staying there with Prof. Elm until Spring Break, then you'll come back down here, and so on," Delia replied.

Spring Break's months away. I'm staying with Prof. Elm that long? Ash thought to himself. He quickly changed from his pajamas to his school clothes.

"You done yet?" Delia asked, poking her head into the room. Ash was pulling his black gloves onto his hands.

"Almost," he answered, running a comb through his hair and putting his usual red and black hat on.

"Well, pack up some extra clothes and things like that for Prof. Elm's," Delia said. "You'll be there for a couple of months." Ash nodded and grabbed his backpack.

A few minutes later, Ash was on a train, going to the Johto Region. A train attendant was constantly walking up and down the aisle, checking on the passengers.

Ash's Pikachu sat in the seat beside him. A loud bell rang through the train, and they stopped moving.

"That bell means we have arrived in New Bark Town," the train attendant announced. Ash and a bunch of other people got up and off the train. Ash walked over to Prof. Elm's lab and knocked.

"Hello?" Prof. Elm asked, answering the door. "Oh, hello Ash! Come on in." He opened the door wider and Ash stepped inside. "Just so you know, you won't be staying in the lab. You'll be staying at my house in the spare room. That ok?" Ash nodded. "Wait, why am I leading you into the lab? I need to show you to your room in my house so you can get settled in before school!" Prof. Elm exclaimed. He quickly rushed out of the lab and next door to his house. Ash followed.

"Here we are! Now, you've only got 15 minutes, so hurry!" Prof. Elm stated as he led Ash upstairs to the spare room.

"Thanks, Professor. I'll be out in a minute," Ash smiled, walking into the room. He quickly unpacked his belongings and put them away. After making sure everything was in his backpack, he slung it over his shoulders and rushed down the stairs, Pikachu at his heels.

"Are you ready?" Prof. Elm asked. Ash nodded. "Ok. Do you think you could wait on my niece and walk to school with her? It's her first day at New Bark High, and she doesn't know anybody." Prof. Elm said.

"Uh, sure," Ash replied. He leaned against the wall, waiting for Prof. Elm's niece to come downstairs.

"Monica, hurry! You're going to be late!" Prof. Elm called up the stairs.

"Coming!" A girl appeared at the top of the stairs. She had dark brown hair and green eyes. She wore a pink tanktop with silver sequins all over it and a dark red skirt that sparkled when it hit the light. A pair of sliver high heeled sandals completed her look.

"Ok you two go on, before you're late!" Prof. Elm exclaimed.

Ash and Monica walked out the door.

"You know, you don't have to dress up for school," Ash said playfully as they walked down a dusty path toward New Bark High.

"I know. I just like wearing stuff like this," Monica replied.

"So, this is your first time at New Bark High?" Ash asked. Monica nodded.

"Yeah. You?" she answered.

"No. This is my second year," Ash replied.

"Cool. So, what's your name?" Monica questioned.

"Ash Ketchum," Ash replied.

"I'm Monica Taylor," Monica stated.

"So, how come you're here with Prof. Elm instead of back in your hometown?" Ash asked.

"Well, my mom wanted me to start a new school because I was having a really bad time at my old one, so we called Uncle Elm and he said I could come up here and stay with him until the school year's over," Monica replied.

By now, Ash and Monica had reached the school and were walking up the stairs and into the school.

"That's sort of how my deal is. I'm staying with Prof. Elm until Spring Break, then I'm going back to Kanto for two weeks, and at the end of Spring Break, I'll come back up here," Ash said.

"Cool," Monica said.

Just then, four boys approached Ash.

"Hey man, how's it going?" one of them said.

"Great," Ash answered.

"Who's the new girl?" another asked.

"This is Monica Taylor. She's staying with Prof. Elm for the school year," Ash replied.

"Cool. Hey, my name's Brendan Stone," the first boy introduced himself. He had white hair and blue eyes. He wore a black jumpsuit with a red sash looking thing going from his right shoulder to just below the left side of his waist. A black headband was on his head. It had a white Poke Ball symbol in the middle.

"I'm Tory Lund," another boy said. He also had white hair and blue eyes. He wore a light blue shirt and white pants.

"I'm Brock," another boy stated. He had spiky brown hair and wore a brown vest with a green shirt underneath and brown pants.

"And I'm Tracey," the last boy said. He had black hair and brown eyes. He wore a blue shirt with red pants and a red headband.

"Nice to meet you all," Monica smiled. A teacher walked by and handed her a piece of paper.

"Looks like your locker is right her beside mine, and we've got the same classes!" Ash exclaimed as he opened his locker and took his morning books out.

"Come on. We need to get to our first class before the bell rings," Tory said.

"Right. Let's go," Ash said. Monica opened her locker using the combination on her paper and took out the same books she had seen Ash take out. He had said her classes were the same as his. She closed the locker and ran to catch up with the boys.
