Hey guys, this is my first fan fiction ever. I've been reading a lot of fan fiction since December 2014, so I think I'm finally ready. Tell me what you think in the reviews.

The birds chirped and the sun made the morning dew on the leaves and grass glisten. A 6'3" 17 year old boy with spiky, jet black hair, tan skin, and auburn brown eyes rose from his bed and let out a huge yawn before groaning. He looked over to his clock which read 6:30.

"Ugggghhhh…. It should be illegal to get up this early."

The boy was known as Ash Ketchum, who was starting his first day of his senior year of high school. But this was no ordinary boy. Ash was the captain and starting quarterback of Pallet High's varsity football team. Ash was a special talent, attracting college scouts since he was a sophomore. He's lead Pallet High to a national championship every year since he's been there. He was very popular around town and was adored by basically everyone because of his warm heart and his selflessness, always putting himself before others, even if they were his enemies. He was also very muscular and had perfectly chisseled abs, along with being completely handsome, which always got him attention from girls, but he was too dense to understand their intentions.

He dragged himself out of his bed and groggily walked over to the bathroom to take a shower. He got undressed, and made his way to the shower. He turned it on, and waited a minute to let it warm up, before stepping tiredly into the shower. He stood there for about five minutes before doing anything and started doing his routine in the shower. He stayed in there for 10 minutes, stepped out and grabbed his towel, and dried himself off.

As he stepped out of the bathroom, his mom called to him from downstairs, "Ash, are you up yet?!"

"Yeah mom, I just got out of the shower!"

He went over to his closet and picked out a pair of dark blue jeans and a navy blue tee shirt with the words "All American" in white and outlined in red across where his chest would be. He looked at his clock, which read 7:10, before going down stairs.

He approached the kitchen and said, "Morning mom."

"Morning honey. Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, just a little anxious for my first day of school, I guess."

"You know, this your last first day of high school."

"Huh, I guess it is. Where has the time gone?"

"I can still remember putting you on the bus for your first day of school. My little boy is all grown up," the young woman known as Delia said as she teared up a little. She grabbed a tissue to wipe the tears from her face.

Ash laughed knowing how emotional his mom can get at times. But, he knows it's only because she cares about him so much. He then said, "Mom, I know you love me, but you don't have to cry."

She sniffled before replying, "I know, but you've grown up so much and after this year you'll be off to college and I won't see you as often as I do."

Delia looked at the clock, which read 7:15, and then said, "Your bus is going to be here in 15 minutes. Here's your breakfast, sweetie."

Ash eyed his plate as if the waiter at a restaurant just served him his food. There were two scrambled eggs with salt and pepper on top, four slices of turkey bacon, and a piece of rye toast with butter. He also had a glass of milk.

He devoured his meal in ten minutes and chugged down his milk. He set down his glass on the table and sighed in satisfaction. "Thanks mom."

"No problem. I'm glad you enjoyed it."

Ash rose from his chair and grabbed his backpack, and slung it over his shoulder. He turned to his mom and said, "Bye mom."

"Bye honey. Have a great day. I love you."

Ash put on his shoes and started to walk out the he walked out the door, Delia started to tear up and started to think about all the times Ash has walked out for his first day of school. She was so proud of him and all his accomplishments throughout the years, and was glad he has grown up to be the kind, warm-hearted, and compassionate boy she has raised him to be.

Ash waited at his bus stop before it came to pick him up. The bus rolled to a stop at 7:30 and opened its doors. Ash stepped onto the bus and groaned. He never enjoyed the bus, even as a little kid. It was too loud, for one. You would think kids would barely be moving this early in the morning, but this disproved that thought. Next, the seats were uncomfortable. He couldn't figure out why, but every time he sat on them he would be adjusting himself trying to find a comfortable position. But worst of all, there was no one on the bus he was really friendly with. All his friends lived on the east side of Pallet Town, and he lived on the west side. Now that he can drive, he doesn't have to worry about relying on his mom or the bus for transportation all the time, but he still rode the bus when he didn't feel like driving.

The bus pulled up to the front of the school, Pallet Town Regional High School (but everyone just called it Pallet High), at 7:45. He got off and made his way to his locker to exchange his books. He opened his locker and spotted his best friend, Gary Oak. He said, "Sup Gary?"

Gary was about 6'0" with spiky auburn brown hair, and hazel eyes. He had on blue jeans, a red polo with blue stripes, and and a gold chain with a cross around his neck and concealed under his shirt. He was pretty fit, had a perfect six-pack, and a gorgeous face. He was quite the ladies man, always hooking up with girls and breaking their hearts a few days later, something Ash never really approved of, but he rarely ever said anything to him about it. He was also on the football team, as the team's best wide receiver. He and Ash were known as the best quarterback-wide receiver tandem in the country.

"Sup Ashy-boy. Ready for one last year of school? After this we'll be done with school forever!"

Ash sweat dropped before saying, "You know Gary, we still have college after this. I plan on playing college football with a top-notch school. Maybe I'll go to the University of Cianwood, home of the Feraligatrs. (A.N. comment to try to figure out what school I'm referring to and there might be something in it for the first person to guess correctly)

"Man, I'm not going to dumb ol' college. I'm going to study to with my grandfather and become an animal researcher."

Ash sweat dropped and fell down anime style before saying to his best friend, "Gary, even if that is your plan, and a crappy one at best, your still going to be learning from your grandfather. It will still be like school, just not in a classroom. Plus, don't you want to play college football, too?"

"Maybe if I get a good enough offer, I still gotta think about it."

Gary realized his best friend was right, but decided not to let him know that and shrugged it off. The bell then rang and the two went their separate ways to their classes. Ash had English first, which was his least favorite subject. Even though he's been told before by his past teachers that he's a very good writer, he just never was much of an outside-the-box thinker. He was always more analytical and more "black and white" about things, meaning he preferred more straightfoward things, like math.

First Period, 8:00

As Ash entered his English classroom, he spotted a few of his friends, Drew Rose and Paul Shinji. He waved to them, as Drew only waved back, while Paul just nodded to recognize Ash's wave.

Drew was a senior as well. He was about 5'9", had emerald green hair that was the same color as his eyes. His hair was wavy and long, which made practically every girl swoon over him. Because of all that attention, his confidence is sky-high, a little too high to his friends. He wore a black long sleeve shirt with a purple short sleeved jacket over it. He also wore blueish-green pants with black shoes. He was a little on the lean side, but was a little muscular. Drew was also on the football team, as the starting kicker and punter.

Paul was also a senior. He was about 5'11" and had long and shaggy purple hair. He wore a blue-violet and black fleece over a blue shirt, along with gray pants and shoes the same color as his fleece. Paul was more of a loner, not real sociable and often was labeled as emo, even though he wasn't. He had a dark past that he never told anyone about, which made him quite the mystery. Paul as well was on the football team, as the starting linebacker. His mean demeanor has helped him demolish opposing team's players in the past and has become well respected around the country and was recruited highly by colleges. He was also completely jacked, which would impress any girl, but his attitude always left girls reluctant about asking him out.

Ash went over to his friends and sat next to them. "Hey guys, what's up?"

Drew was the first to respond. "Not much. I went to Slateport City for the summer, but other than that I didn't do much. How about you?"

"I just stayed home and worked out for football most of the time and hung out with Gary. I did go to Cinnabar Island for two weeks, though. How was your summer Paul?"

Paul waited a few moments before responding. "Not much. I just stayed home while Reggie was on business trips. Same old boring and depressing life."

Ash and Drew felt bad for Paul. He may have been a great athlete, but he lived a life no one should. Both of Paul's parents died in a car crash when Paul was 10, so Reggie, his brother who's 10 years older than he is, had to take care of him since then. But Reggie's job as a financial consultant has sent him on many business trips, so Paul is alone most of the time and has to take care of himself. That's why he wants to become a football player, so he can do what he loves the most as a profession.

A minute later, the teacher came in to the classroom. "Hello class, my name's Professor Juniper. I'll be your teacher for English this year."

"Oh boy," Ash thought, "another boring year of school. I'm so glad football exists or else I wouldn't have much of a motive to attend school."

First Lunch, 11:35

Ash walked into the cafeteria, and got his food, mac n' cheese and hotdogs, along with a glass of chocolate milk. He was scoping out the lunchroom looking for his friends, before his eyes came upon Drew's oddly colored hair. He teased him about it sometimes, but Drew's oddly colored hair came in handy sometimes. As he approached the table he also saw Paul, Gary, and some girls he's seen around school, but never have met before. The first girl had shoulder-length, orange hair with a ponytail on the side of her head, and ocean blue eyes. She wore blue shorts that went down to her thighs and and a yellow shirt.

The next girl was a brunette that had hair in a "V" shape, sapphire blue eyes, a red bandana, tight blue biker shorts, and a tight red shirt, which made her bust extremely noticeable. Ash couldn't help but take a quick glance at her rack before looking over to the third girl.

The third girl was also a brunette, but a lighter shade of brown. Her hair came down to her mid-back and she had light brown eyes. She wore a tight blue shirt, a red skirt, and a white hat that had a round brim, a red stripe around the hat, and the outline of a red semi circle on the front of the hat.

The last girl had deep blue hair that went down to her mid-back, the same color eyes, and she wore a white beanie with a pink circle on it. She also wore a magenta scarf, a black and pink miniskirt over a white undershirt, and knee high black sock and pink boots. He found her the most attractive out of the four.

Ash sat down and said hi to his friends before introduing himself to the four girls. "Hey, I don't think we've met before," speaking to all four girls, "but I've seen you around. My name's Ash Ketchum. What's your names?"

The brunette with the red bandana spoke up first. "Well, I'm May Maple. The other brunette's name is Leaf Green, the red head is Misty Waterflower, and the bluenette is Dawn Berlitz."

"Dawn...I'm sure I've heard that name somewhere. Are you on the cheerleading squad?"

"Yeah I am," the bluenette responded. "I'm the captain, in fact. But you didn't need to introduce yourself, I'm fully aware of who you are. You're the star quarterback of the football team."

Ash scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "Yeah I guess I am, but I don't like to bask in the fame. My friends are on the football team too. Gary's the top wide receiver, Drew's the kicker, and Paul's the starting middle linebacker."

"I've seen you all before," said Misty. "You," she said pointing to Paul, "I heard are the number one linebacker in the country."

Paul had a bland look on his face and only nodded in agreement. Although he didn't gloat as much as Drew and Gary, he wasn't going to deny he was the best high school linebacker in the country, something he was particularly proud of.

Leaf finally spoke and said to Gary, "You and Ash are quite the duo. You guys seem to really have perfect chemistry."

"Yeah, Ashy and I go back a long way. We've been best friends since we were toddlers," Gary said.

Drew spoke confidently saying, "And I'm the starting kicker."

"There's only one kicker so you start by default, " May said.

Ash, Gary, and even Paul started to chuckle.

"Hey, the kicker has an important job! I just make it look easy. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't make any field goals, which is better than coming up with no points and a turnover on downs."

"I guess so," May replied.

Ash looked at his phone before saying, "Hey class starts in ten minutes and I got to go exchange my books, let's go guys."

The other guys nodded and got up and walked to dump their trash. "It was nice meeting you girls," Ash said.

"You too, we'll probably see each other around school," May said.

As the guys walked away, Dawn said dreamily, "Wow, that Ash sure is something else. Plus, he's really cute."

Well, that was my first chapter ever. It might not be that long, but they will probably get longer as the story goes on and I get more experience. Review please so I can fix any mistakes I made. But no flaming, seriously guys it's not cool.

I also just came back to school from spring break today. I also a fairly busy school schedule, being a junior and all, plus I manage the baseball team (since I got cut despite making it the past two years), so I'll try to update when I can. Don't worry though I won't take forever to update. Again, review and have a great day.
