pokemon the animation : scarlet and violet

Chapter 11: Uniqueness makes strategy

It was another beautiful day in Paldea where everyone got ready to go to school, sleep in or do something else that eases the stress of oncoming tests, it's also the week where the Treasure Hunt begins, and everyone is preparing to go on their adventure soon enough. Ash is seen getting up on a beautiful Monday morning with Pikachu, Quaxly, and Cyclizar up and ready to go.

"Morning everyone, sleep good?" Ash asked his Pokemon who cheered their names happily as Ash got up to put his slippers on, "Alright let's get you some breakfast going and then we can get to class on time." Ash said as he goes to grab a bag of Pokemon food and dumps it each to their bowls before Ash decides to heat up a Breakfast bowl in the microwave and wait. Ash looks to his team and smiles, I think it's time to catch a new Pokemon soon enough, but I wonder where? Ash thought to himself as a knock on the door was heard.

"Coming!" Ash said going to the door, he opens it to reveal Arven and Sneasel pushing a rather large person-sized box on a cart, "Special delivery for Ash Ketchum!" Arven said as Ash lets them through and both of them take a breath. "I didn't order anything, is it a gift?" Ash asks curious about the box, "Kind of, it's a gift from Mr. Clavell. He was supposed to give it to you himself, but he had a last-minute meeting with La Primera, so he asked me to give this to you." Arven replied setting the box down near a corner and opening it. The box was opened to reveal PC machine made for calls and transfer Pokemon which seems to surprise Ash.

"A-a PC machine?" Ash said surprised to which Arven nods and replies, "Yep, it's a gift from the Champion's association for your win as World Champion. Only professors like my parents, politicians, Centers, police stations and champions usually get this and since you're a champion, you get one of these at least from what Clavell told me."

The duo then proceeded to plug the machine in which opened up a slot where you could put your phone or dex in and Ash proceeded to grab his phone to place the phone in while Arven and Morada rest on the floor huffing.

"Say Ash, this is your first Monday, isn't it?" Arven asks out of breath to which Ash nods, "Then today's your first day of Geography with Mr. Biscus and Battle training/theater with Ms. Cycus and Cycus is a huge fan of your battle strategies especially during the Sinnoh tournament." Arven continued which made Ash think for a moment.

My battle strategies? Ash thought to himself until he remembered back in Sinnoh where he used a technique called Countershield where his Pikachu and Buizel used their bodies to spin to deflect and attack as well as Buizel's Ice Aqua Jet and Ash starts to look back fondly at those moves.

"Ah those were the days; I should really do more with those moves." Ash said happily as he placed his Dexphone into the machine and started to glow up with various contacts such as professors and friends, his Pokemon information as well as Dex information about Pokemon he encountered on his journeys.

"Registered Ash Ketchum as owner of PC Machine 9619, I'm pleased to work with you Ash Ketchum." The machine said as the screen turns into a generic computer screen, "Well, if you got your information all set up, I'll get going." Arven said but Ash stops him for a moment. "Actually, could I see your Sneasel real quick? Professor Oak studies all types of Pokemon so he'll be very surprised about a form that hasn't been seen in forever." Ash asks.

"I've heard of him; my parents talk to him in different meetings about all sorts of things so, why not." Arven said as Ash pressed on Professor Oak's number which causes the screen to display a phone until the screen changes once more to an energetic smiling Oak alongside Ash's Buizel, Muk, Gliscor and Oshawott (who was on Gliscor's shoulder) go to the screen with happiness in their eyes to see their trainer.

"Oh, hello my boy, have your school pictures arrived, Delia is very anxious about them?" Oak said happily as he waved back, "Hi Oak, they'll be in the mail soon and hi guys how are you?" Ash said happily as his Pokemon cheered their names happily.
