~Leaf's POV~

  I got out of bed and began to comb my shaggy brown hair. I put on a white hat, covering the knots around my roots. I decide on a teal shirt, with a red miniskirt. I slip on my white vans and blue leg warmers.

   Downstairs Mom is making some sausage. I can smell it all the way from my room. I turn on my computer and check the time. It is only 5:46. Well, I have time to waste.

   I begin to play around with some programming. I'm trying to make a mod that allows the seasons to change naturally. Outside, Venusaur is playing in the grass. The early spring breeze wafts in through my open window.

  I open a Minecraft single player world called "Seasons Mod". I begin to play around with the different features I added. It appears to be summer in the world. Apparently, I didn't program the potion effect for summer correctly. Its supposed to make you light on fire after you've been exposed in the sun too long, and have no effect at night. The problem is, it is night and everything is on fire. Back to programming.

   Pidgeotto has begun to rest on my head. I shake my head, the weight becoming uncomfortable.

    "Leaf! Come down for breakfast!" Mom calls from downstairs.

   "Coming!" I shut off my computer, and scurry downstairs. I was my hands in the kitchen sink, before taking a seat at the table.

    "Here you go, Leaf. Are you ready for school?" Mom asks me. I nod and begin to eat my breakfast, scrambled eggs and sausage.

   After I finish, I put my plate in the sink before feeding my Pokemon.

   "Vap! Por!" Vaporeon jumps at the food.

   "Boo, pum!" Pumpkaboo swiftly eats her share of food.

    "See you guys after school!" I wave as I walk inside, Pidgeotto on my shoulder. Of all my Pokémon, Pidgeotto is the only one who bothers to come to school with me.

   I gather my bag, before walking outside. Red was already walking ahead with Gary.

    "Hi guys!" I run up to them, allowing Pidgeotto to fly behind me.

   "Hello beautiful!" Gary starts the conversation the same way he starts every conversation with a girl, with flirting.

   "Gary, what did we say about the flirting?" Red puts his hand on Gary's shoulder, rolling his eyes.

   "What, you jealous Red?" Gary turns around to face him and chuckles. His signature smirk is plastered on his face.

   "No! Its just rude!" Red yells at him in embarrassment.

   "Yeah, Gary, you can't just go flirting to random girls. And leave Red alone." I tell him, standing on my toes to reach his height.

   "Fine. I see that you two don't seem to realize how much of a heartthrob I am." Gary turns and walks towards the school. Yeah, no. I'll never see him as a heartthrob. And I doubt Red will either.

   "The nerve of that guy!" I chuckle, fixing my hat.

  "I know." Red yawns, and looks down at me. His eyes have massive eyes, and our half closed.

   "Red, did you get any sleep last night?" I ask him, giving him a concerned look.

   "I just got caught up in, *yawn*, student council duties. Nothing you need to worry about." He yawns a second time.

    "Sleep deprivation can lead to serious medical consequences!" I find it as good a time as any to boast about my outstanding intellect.

    "Yeah, yeah. I'll be, *yawn*, fine. I realize that you are smart and, *yawn*, all, but you need to trust me." By now, I'm seriously worried.

   "If you say so." I grab his wrist and begin to drag him to school.

~le time skip~ Serena's POV~

  "Hey Sere!" Ash walks up beside me. Pikachu is perched on his shoulder. The electric rat let's out a squeak in greeting as well.

   "Hello Ash!" Fennekin gets up from my shoulder and bounds over to him.

  "Any ideas about the riddle?" He asks me, wiping some sweat from his brow. Why he was sweating, I have no idea. He was probably jogging or something.

   "None, unfortunately." I begin to scratch
Fennekin's head, herself purring on delight.

    "We'll work it out." Ash says confidently, as we begin to walk to class.

   "First up, berry class!" I put the uneccery books in my locker, before heading to class. A lot of people say that berry class is boring, but there really is importance to it.

    "Hello class!" Mrs. Yolik greets us enthusiastically. "Today, we have a special guest! Noble Rosenstake, champion of the trainers' league in Oblast! She is also Crystal's sister!" Wow, she is very excited. "Before class starts, you may ask her some questions."

   Me, as well as some other people, immediately raise their hands.

   "Crystal? What could you possibly have to ask?" Noble points at her sister.
    "Well, I'd like to know where specifically in Oblast is the trainers' league?" Crystal, not bothering to correct her posture, asks her question.
    "Monto, the capital of Oblast. You know, where Esfir is from. The champion's league is held in St. Pastrice." Noble begins to start looking for another question, but is interrupted by Mrs. Yolik.

   "Pardon me for asking, but is the Esfir your talking about Esfir Oshiro? She said something about once living in Monto." Mrs. Yolik asks the two, checking on the berries being grown at the back of the classroom.

   "The one that's a year younger then us? Yeah, she's our cousin." Crystal explains.

   "Crystal, you seem to be related to so many talented people! Not that you aren't talented. It must be wonderful. May I ask if your related to anyone else that's talented like that?" Mrs. Yolik has completely forgotten about that rest of the class.

   "My youngest sister is Kandi, the one who came up with the riddle, then Lilly, who is advancing to our grade for academic achievement, then me, then Noble here, then my brother, Kyle Rosenstake, the technical champion of Oblast. My parents like to participate in different competitions from all over, Robert and Sylvie Rosenstake, and Esfir is my cousin." Crystal let's out a breath before sighing.

   "That's very interesting Crystal. Three more questions class!" Ms. Yolik returns to the front desk.

   We finish asking questions before proceeding with the lesson. The lesson was about the most important berry uses in battle. Occasionally, I glanced over at Noble. She looked like Crystal, though her hair was more greenish. A Glaceon rested under her desk, and a shiny wurmple curled up on her head. She caught me staring, and furrowed her brow. I reverted my eyes.

  Class ends. I walk out into the hall, and am greeted by Dawn and May.

Short filler chapter because I got a request to update but I'm having writers block for this story. Sorry!
