After everything happened, the gang did finally go back to Pallet to watch the graduation, they even dragged Chloe along much to her parents' pleasure and her dismay.

The graduation for this year seemed smaller, but it still had Sliver who was graduating, along with the underclassmen.

Of which 5 wanted to be trainers being Pink, Brown, Orange, Cyan, and Violet. No, that wasn't describing them, that was their names, they were other kids from Pallet who were a year younger than the main cast.

But one thing they didn't expect was when Paul walked up and announced he was also leaving and left it at that.

After that everyone went back to normal as everyone left to go back home using Oak's Alakazam, everyone said goodbye and such and left, leaving Pallet Town kinda empty again.

After that, the next interesting thing was that Gary had his birthday meaning Ash was the only one who was still 10.

And after that, another Month passed meaning it was almost time for the holidays, it even started snowing, Ash, Green, and Gary exchanged gifts then Ash brought out Santa Abra and gave her a delivery for everyone.

{Yellow}

Yellow was sitting next to the fireplace enjoying time with Wilton and his Pokemon like old times. There wasn't any big celebration due to everything that happened but she was still satisfied with playing with her Pokemon.

She even got everyone presents, as she was about to pass her gifts out Santa Abra appeared and handed her a gift, and disappeared.

Yellow looked confused but when she opened it it was a framed picture of all of them, Ash, Gary, Green, Misty, and Brock together with all their Pokemon.

{Brock}

The Breeding competition for today happened, and Brock did see both Suzie and Yui at this one, he did his best but in the end, he didn't even make it in the top 3, so he lost.

He came back with a smile for his siblings, he already set everything up and set a tree with gifts, when he walked in he was immediately greeted by his siblings.

"Brock!" Cindy said, "Santa came and left you a gift!"

Brock smiled and gave her a head pat, "I'm sure Santa did,"

"She's not lying, well not completely," Forrest said pointing at the tree where there was a box labeled Brock.

Brock looked confused and walked over to open it, as he did he saw an incubator with an Egg and a note on top.

-

Hey Brock, I said I'd get you an Egg, didn't I?

– Ash the knight of the bro code order

-

Brock smiled as his siblings started looking at the Egg wondering what was inside.

{Misty}

It's been a bit of time, a few packs of band-aids later and Misty was starting to make progress with this Lapras, which was also starting to grow, which was why she was brushing his shell.

At least now Lapras won't bite her immediately, though she isn't sure about training him or giving him commands.

Then suddenly a maid walked into the room holding a box, "Lady Misty, a gift from a particular Abra came for you."

Misty was about to question it but then she remembered Abra and took the gift, "Thank you, have my sisters arrived yet?"

"They're on their way, I'll contact you when they arrive." the made said as she dismissed herself and left.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

Misty sighed as she set the box down and opened it, the first thing she saw was a note saying,

-You'll need this!-

Misty lifted up and pulled out a pair of pants, which she immediately threw in the corner, "Dang it Ash!"

As she did the Box tilted over and another note with a box rolled out, she picked it up,

-

Sorry couldn't resist, anyway real gift.

I got you a special type of Pokemon food sold in the Sevii Islands.

This kind is one that Lapras love,

And I threw in some more of the Psyduck headache medicine

Good luck.

– Ash the ultimate troll

–

Misty sighed as she grabbed the treats, "How good can this be."

As soon as she opened it Lapras looked at her and saw the bag, but tried to hide it, but was doing a really bad job at it.

'Huh,' Misty thought as she smiled, 'Best Gift Ever.'

—

And after that, New Year's came and went, as winter did the same, revealing Spring again, The League would start soon, actually it would be next week, but they got to skip the first few rounds so they had time.

At the moment the 3 Pallet kids were back to training, this time having the other kids in Pallet Town as their audience.

The battle was finished with Ash vs. Gary. It was Kingler vs Electabuzz battling in this 1 v 1.

"Kingler use [Brick Break]!" Ash commanded as a last stand.

Gary smiled, "Electabuzz, let's end this with [Thunder Punch]!"

Kingler and Electabuzz both ran forward, with one having a glowing red arm and the other a glowing yellow. The 2 fists collided as the pressure knocked them both down.

But Electabuzz was the only one that got up as Kingler was knocked out. Making the crowd cheer to see another battle.

Gary smiled and ran up to Electabuzz and slapped him on the back, "And that ties us up doesn't it!"

Ash rolled his eyes and returned Kingler, "Sure if that makes you sleep better at night,"

Green appeared and grabbed Ash, "Alright then you had your fun, now it's my turn, I'm taking the lead this time!"

"Actually," Ash said slipping out of Green's hands and pulling out a notebook, "It says here on the official Kanto Kids transcript that you and Gary need to settle your score,"

"What? It doesn't say that we never did that,"

"Oh yeah, it says exactly what I said," Ash said.

"Oh yeah show us then," Green said as she grabbed the notebook and flipped it over, and what it said was.

-Exactly what I said-

Green and Gary looked at the notebook as they then looked at Ash, "Hey I don't make the rules,"

Green rolled her eyes and threw the notebook back at Ash, "Well whatever, I've been meaning to settle this for a while!"

Gary looked at her, "Please I'll show you why I'm the best trainer."

"Oh you mean like how you told Grace that you like her," Green said smugly

Gary had a double take at that, "Wha- I- er- no- But-"

Ash waved his hands in front of Gary's face, "Well I think you broke him."

"Hey, not my fault he can't grow a spine and tell Grace he likes her," Green said stretching her legs, now that it was warm she was back to shorts completing the Sygna Suit.

Ash shrugged, "I mean fair like I'm pretty sure everyone but Grace knows,"

Then Ash walked over to address the crows, "Shows over everyone! Gary broke again!"

The crowd was audibly sad but dispersed and walked away as Green dragged the broken Gary over to Ash, and Ash helped pick him up as they carried him over to his house, where they were greeted by Daisy.

Daisy saw Gary being carried over and sighed, "Let me guess you called him out on his crush?"

"Pretty much" x2

Daisy sighed and put her hand to her face, "Man at times like this it's embarrassing to have him as a brother, you know where his room is just dump him in there." Daisy said as she sat back down and read her magazine.

Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder and went to Daisy's arms as Ash and Green started walking toward the hall.

Green let go and slapped Ash on the back, "Well I'll leave him to you, you know me being a girl and entering a boy's room and all,"

Ash rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah sure, I know better than to argue with you on this,"

Green gave a thumbs up and left the house as Ash put Gary on his shoulder and took him over to his room before dumping him on the bed and walking out.

When he got out he saw that Professor Oak came in, and he noticed him, "Oh, Ash my boy, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, I just had to dump Gary in his room, he kinda broke again," Ash said.

Oak raised a hand and he looked like he was going to say something but lowered it slowly, "That makes too much sense, and that complicates things,"

Oak thought for a moment before looking at Ash, "Ash can I ask you for a favor?"

"Depends on what that is?" Ash said as Pikachu jumped back on him.

"Well, you need to follow me to the Lab," Oak said, and Ash had nothing better to do so he agreed.

A short walk later and Ash was standing in the familiar Lab he started all this from, and where he got Pikachu. But something strange was that on the desk were a few Boxes.

"Well you see, Recently one of the sister schools here in Kanto made a commission for starters, usually they pick it up themselves but some complications have occurred, I can't take it for personal reasons and Alakazam hasn't been there."

"So you want me to go and drop these off?" Ash said bluntly, and Oak nodded.

"Yes, this batch is exceptionally special, we have Pokemon from every professor in every region… except Paldea, none of us professors have been able to get into contact with their professors, instead a sister school with their director Clavell sent us a pair."

Ash in his mind smiled, but in real life, his eyebrow twitched, "So, you can get starters from every region, yet you only had 2 official starters when we went out on our journey?"

Oak scratched his cheek, "Err, I thought we agreed to forget about that."

"I said I would forgive you, not that I wouldn't hold a grudge," Ash said, then he smiled, "But sure why not, but under one condition, I want something,"

Oak felt like he should say no but he had to ask, "What do you have in mind as compensation?"

Ash smiled wider, "Oh nothing big, I just want you to get me a…"

—-

Ash was flying in the air with Pidgeot, Pidgeot had the crates strapped to his feet as they were currently flying over Viridian City, he was given a map by Oak, and then he said goodbye to everyone and such formalities since he would be gone.

The main thing this job required was that he needed to deliver these Pokemon, maybe give a speech or something, and stay around for a week and give the students advice until they get a short break since the Indigo League Conference was considered a holiday, which just seemed like an oversite.

Ash was looking at the note, "Indigo Academy… why does that sound familiar," Ash thought, trying to remember where he heard that name from.

"Well whatever, let's see, it's somewhere between here and Route 22, that's not specific at all," Ash sighed as he looked at the ground, "Well I guess I might as well start looking."

With that Pidgeot started flying toward the west to find this Indigo Academy.

—----

On a bus there sat a girl, she was wearing what appeared to be a school uniform, she had black hair with blue highlights on the inside that was tied with a green clip, and had light blue eyes. She was Liko.

Currently, she sat on the bus keeping to herself, being too nervous to talk to anyone. She recently came here to Kanto from Paldea, so she could come and study at Indigo Academy where her parents studied.

But she wasn't exactly thrilled to be here all alone, but she didn't say anything and kept going, as the bus stopped she finally got a good look at this place, Indigo Academy.

She took a deep breath and walked in to find her room, and hopefully make the most out of this situation.

—

Ash stood on the top of the main clock tower of Indigo Academy, he was overlooking everything and that's when he saw her, Liko.

"So that's where I remember this from," Ash said as he saw Liko walking to the building, "I guess the theory of her being Ash's daughter was wrong, man and I really thought that too, I owe him 20 bucks- oh wait no I don't I died, kinda forgot about that."
