I woke up to Lycanroc barking to try and get me up. I sat up groggily and rubbed my eyes. I looked at my alarm clock. 7:54. Oh shit! I rushed around my room, talking to my Pokemon, trying to get dressed and brush my teeth at the same time.

I ran downstairs and grabbed a protein bar. I rushed outside after saying goodbye to my mom. I ran to the bus stop, Pikachu clinging onto my shoulder for dear life, and Lycanroc at my side. I saw Serena and Dawn getting on the bus. "Wait!" I shouted, to get their attention. Serena looked at me and said something inaudible. The bus waited for me to get there. I jumped on the bus, returning Lycanroc at the same time. I caught my breath when I sat next to Gary.

"What happened?" He asked me. "Alarm...Clock...Forgot...To...Set." I said, pausing in-between words. We continued to talk, battle strategies, different kinds of Pokemon, advantages in battle, more things I can't bother to list.

We stepped off the bus and headed towards our Math classroom. We walked in and sat down. We took out our homework and turned it in. "I hope I don't flunk this class." I muttered. "Pika..."
---
"We have so much math homework." Gary groaned. "You should have seen how much homework there was in Kanto." I said. We walked towards the Battle Classroom. We sat down.

"Today will be more one on one battles. Today we will have a tournament!" Said Prof. Oak. He looked at me, glaring slightly. "Also, whoever battles Ash, I feel sorry for you." I sweatdropped. He listed the matchups.

Percy vs. Leo
Serena vs. Miette
Calem vs. Me
Clemont vs. Paul
Misty vs. Dawn
Sawyer vs. John
Drew vs. Jack
May vs. Cameron
Alain vs. Andrew
Dawn vs. Will
Gary vs. Alex
Sam vs. Jason

We walked out to the battlefield. Lycanroc's Pokeball was shaking, telling me he wanted to battle, which I was okay with, he hadn't battled for a while.

We reached the battlefield. Prof. Oak called Calem and I up. Calem was shaking nervously. "Trainers call out your Pokemon!" The ref announced.

"Quilladin, battle time!"

Calem released the grass type starter Pokemon. I pulled out my Pokedex.

Quilladin, The Spiny Armor Pokemon, evolved form of Chespin. They strengthen their lower bodies by running into one another. They are very kind and won't start fights.

"Alright then, if it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get! Lycanroc, battle stance!"

The Rock-Type Wolf Pokemon came out and looked at his opponent, his blue eyes gleamed with pride.

After scanning Lycanroc with his Pokedex, Calem sniggered. "It looks weak."

My auburn eyes locked onto him. My gaze became a murderous glare. Calem stepped backwards in surprise. I clenched my fists.

"What did you say?" I snapped.

"I-it looks weak."

"B-battle Begin!"

"Nobody, and I mean, Nobody, ever insults my Pokemon and gets away with it. Especially not Lycanroc."

Calem looked around in fear.

"You have no idea what it is like to have a bond with your Pokemon. Lycanroc had to endure a year and a half of abuse from his pack. I found him as a Rockruff. He was running through a forest, badly wounded. I brought him to a Pokemon Center and they helped him. We formed a connection. I have been with him since he was a pup. Never, ever, insult his strength." I growled.

Lycanroc's blue eyes had a murderous glint in them. He growled at Quilladin.

"Lycanroc, Accelrock!"

Lycanroc's form flickered. White streaks were following behind him. Suddenly Quilladin was sent flying fifty feet backwards. Lycanroc appeared before me, his eyes still having a murderous gleam. I looked at Calem.

"That will teach you to never insult my Pokemon." I growled.

Lycanroc at my side, Pikachu on my shoulder, I pushed through the crowd. I leaned against a school wall. Lycanroc laid at my feet. Pikachu jumped onto Lycanroc's back. We continued to watch the battles. Turns out, I was paired up with Drew this round. Jason was disqualified, so there were only five matches

Drew vs. Me
Percy vs. Miette
Dawn vs. May
Paul vs. Gary
Alain vs. Sawyer

"Trainers release your Pokemon!"

"Roserade!"

I looked at Lycanroc.

Lycanroc jumped onto the field. He glared at Roserade.

"Battle Begin!"

"Razo-"

Before he could finish, Roserade was on the ground, fainted.

"Wh-what?"

I walked back to the wall.
---
It was now the finals. I was battling Paul. I guess this is the Sinnoh League rematch.

"Battle Begin!"

"Lycanroc!"

"Electivire!"

The two Pokemon glared at each other.

"Thunder Punch!"

Electivire ran towards Lycanroc and hit him with his fist, which was encased in electricity.

Lycanroc was pushed back a few feet, but wasn't hurt.

"Earthquake!"

Lycanroc stomped on the ground and somehow made an Earthquake. I was able to keep my balance while others, not so much.

"Fire Punch!"

Electivire's fists became encased in flames. It ran towards Lycanroc.

"Dodge."

Lycanroc jumped out of the way and Electivire lost its balance.

"Now, Accelrock!"

Lycanroc's form flickered again and the next second Electivire was fainted and Lycanroc was infront of me again.

"Electivire is unable to battle! Lycanroc wins, meaning Ash Ketchum has beaten the strongest trainer in the school!"

Great, just don't say my surname, please. I thought.

I walked towards Paul, who had just thanked his Pokemon. I held out my hand and he shook it.

"Class dismissed!"

I walked back into the building, this time though, there wasn't much talk. "Sorry if I....you know, scared you, back there." I said, apologetically. "Hey, that was amazing back there!" Serena exclaimed with a light tint of pink on her cheeks. I scratched my cheek. "T-thanks." I said, blushing a bit.

We walked into History and opened our books and got started on homework.
---
It was lunch now. I got ketchup for Pikachu and Pokemon food for Lycanroc. Alain didn't bother me this time, which was great considering I had only had a protein bar before school.

I sat down next to Gary and ate my burger. There was some small talk before Dawn exclaimed, "Gossip time, girls!" All the boys groaned, including me. "Well," Gary said, "time to switch tables. 

It was now time for Pokemon Grooming, we had been sitting here for a few minutes brushing our Pokemon. I heard a bell go off, and then someone came over the loudspeakers. "If Ash Ketchum does not come to the office right now, we will bring him here by force." I ran towards the office, with Lycanroc in tow. Pikachu was in my backpack. When I got inside the office I saw people who I never wanted to see again.

"Team Rocket!"

"Prepare for trouble."

"And make it double."

"To protect the world from devastation."

"To unite all people within our nation."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above."

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light."

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth, that's right!"

"Team Rocket! Why are you here!"

"To take that Pikachu!"

"Lycanroc, Accelrock!" I snarled. Team Rocket and their Pokemon got blasted through the wall.

"Okay, Inkay, Psybeam!"

"Gourgeist, Shadow Ball."

Lycanroc and I dodged the attacks, but the wall didn't. The attacks caused a massive explosion, which attracted the attention of many people.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu jumped out of my bag and shot a Thunderbolt at Team Rocket, but they avoided the attack. Pikachu continued to fire Thunderbolts until Twam Rocket was sent blasting off again.

The problem now, was that the roof was collapsing around me. I rushed to get put of the building. The roof was cracking right over me.

Then it fell.
