37 Humbling

"Well alright then," Giselle said, putting Graveler Pokemon back onto the stand, "How about three-on-three?"

"Fine with me," Ash said, pulling out a Pokeball.

Giselle pulled out one of her own Pokeballs, "I will only need one, Goooooo, Jigglypuff"

'So she has a Jigglypuff like her game counterpart has, well then she will probably have a Nidoran as well,' Ash thought before also releasing Poliwag.

"Let's make this Quick I have better things to do, Jigglypuff Pound," Jigglypuff ran forward and Punched Poliwag, which did not deal much damage.

"Poliwag Bubble Beam," Poliwag Jumped back and started spitting bubbles at the Pink ball.

"How could you hit my poor Jigglypuff," Both Giselle and Jigglypuff used Fake Tears, Ash was unaffected but Poliwag along with most of the students were affected, some students were trying to intervene, but Misty proceeded to pull on all of their ears.

"Poliwag Double Slap," Poliwag hesitated for a second before jumping forward and using his tail and slapping Jigglypuff twice.

Giselle smiled, "Covet" Jigglypuff started acting like it was severely hurt which made Poliwag put his guard down, so Jigglypuff took the advantage and hit Poliwag again.

"Now Jigglypuff, Disarming Voice," Jigglypuff started releasing a sweet song that caused Poliwag to suffer more pain.

"Poliwag!" Ash called out getting his attention, "How about we start taking this seriously." causing Poliwag to start grinning the best way a tadpole could and started lighting up, and grew arms to push himself up and lost the tail, and he evolved.

Giselle grits her teeth, "It doesn't matter you can't win either way, Body slam"

"Hypnosis, then Wake-Up Slap," as Jigglypuff jumped forward aiming to hit Poliwhirl, Poliwhirl's swirl released energy putting the Kirby wannabe to sleep, then Poliwhirl slapped it throwing it onto the ground, knocking it out.

"T-this can't be," Giselle said before looking back at Ash, "Fine then, Nidoran" Releasing a female Nidoran.

"Oh I have one too," Ash said returning Poliwhirl and sending his Nidoran♂.

This seemed to annoy Giselle, "Nidoran Fury Swipes" the blue Pokemon charged forward recklessly,

Ash and Nidoran were unimpressed, "Focus energy then counter with Peck".

Nidoran♀ ran forward and tried to slash Nidoran♂, Nidoran♂ just dodged the slashes looking bored more than anything then aimed to stab the Nidoran♀ with his horn.

Giselle got worried, "Nidoran♀ use Captivate" Nidoran♀ started flickering her eyes trying to seduce Nidoran♂, but it was ineffective because Nidoran♂ is a battle junky.

"Alright let's end this, Confusion" Nidoran♂ sent out psychic energy shooting towards the Blue Pokemon, and due to her being Poison type it was super effective. Leaving her unable to battle.

Giselle was shocked, two of her Pokemon were down and this guy was just toying with her.

"Fine, then I still have one more Pokemon, Cubone go."

"Cubone, bone, bone, bone." a small dinosaur-like Pokemon with a skull on his head and a large bone in his hand.

Ash returned Nidoran♂ and looked towards Pikachu, "What do you say, want to show her what you're made of." receiving a nod from Pikachu as she ran in.

"Ho, ho, ho, using an electric type against my ground, I see your battling until now was a fluke," Giselle said trying to provoke Ash, "I bet those other two Pokemon you had aren't even yours".

"Shure whatever helps you sleep at night", Ash said, stretching a bit, making Giselle frown, "Hey don't frown so much, you don't want to start getting wrinkles by the time you're in your 20s."

On the side, Joe was next to Brock, "Why is he so calm he sent an electric type to fight a ground type, on top of that Cubone is Giselle's strongest Pokemon?"

Brock put his hand on Joe's shoulder, "Calm down, do you think Ash doesn't know that," He said making Joe get quiet, "I don't know why he did that either but I am sure he has a plan."

"Besides, Ash can win," Yellow adds as she cheers for him and Pikachu.

Giselle was the one who got frustrated hearing Ash tease her, "Cubone Bone club,"

The bone in Cubone's hand started glowing as it ran forward to try and hit Pikachu, "Counter with Iron Tail," Pikachu's tail glowed Silver as he dashed forward.

They began clashing with each other and Pikachu countered Cubone with his tail before using it to slam the dinosaur back.

"Cubone use Knock Off" Giselle ordered as Cubone ran forward and Hit Pikachu with his bone on top of his head, "Now jump back and use Bonemerang."

"Alright then, Pikachu use Iron tail to hit it back, Then double kick," Ash commanded as Pikachu used his tail like a bat to send the bone back hitting Cubone and spinning the skull on its head.

Then Pikachu ran forward and Jumped to deliver an Axe Kick with his stubby legs sending Cubone face first onto the ground, then a second Kick to send it back and lose its bone.

Cubone was unable to battle after that mainly because he was crying on the ground, Giselle returned Cubone and tried to comfort him, "I lost. Cubone, good try, You'll be okay now."

All of the students were shocked seeing that Giselle lost, "H-he won?" Joe said, shocked at the results.

Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder as he approached Giselle, "So what have we learned?"

Giselle looked down, "That you're a better Pokemon trainer than me,"

"Aw, how kind of you to say that, but no, would you like another guess," Ash said continuing to tease her.

"That I shouldn't underestimate my Opponent,"

"Well, that is a lesson but not what I'm looking for,"

"Then what-" Giselle was cut off by Misty cutting in.

"You shouldn't look down on people," Misty said, "Just because you have a pretty face you act like the world should treat you like royalty and treat others as such."

"And that isn't even mentioning the horrible treatment you show your classmates and the system you enforce," Misty said before walking back to her friends followed by Ash.

Giselle was thinking about what Misty and Ash told her.

A few minutes later everyone was back in front of the school again, And Joe was with them.

"I'm going back home to start from scratch with my first Pokémon," Joe said, "Today showed me what I was missing sitting here and studying."

"What about you Parents?" Yellow asked.

"I am sure my parents would understand," Joe said, "I will make it back to them somehow."

"Do you think you'll be able to make it to the League?" Ash asked

"I don't know, but if I do then let's battle," Joe said as they shook hands.

"I hope you're not going to leave without saying goodbye," a new voice approached them, revealing Giselle walking towards them.

"Joe" Giselle said, making Joe tense up a bit, "I'm sorry for the way I treated you, and for everything I said"

Joe didn't know how to respond, "It's Ok you don't need to apologize."

"I hope you make it to the league, I'll be cheering for you," She said, holding out her hand, which Joe took, before he left in his direction.

Giselle then turned to the group, "Thank you for what you taught me, I'll try and be better."

"Just be sure to keep your ego in check, or I'll be back to teach you a lesson," Misty said, causing Giselle to laugh a little.

"Ok, I deserved that, but thank you," Giselle said, "So what is your plan for now?"

'Ash thought for a second before asking, "Hey, is there a kitchen we can use in the school?" making everyone confused.

"Well there's one but hardly anyone uses it" Giselle answered.

Ash ground before turning towards Brock, "We haven't had those Crepes yet." making Brock smile.

Then he turned towards Misty, "And while we waited, the word about us hasn't spread yet, wanna go beat up some more rich kids." which made Misty give an evil smirk.

The three went off leaving Yellow and Giselle wondering what they were planning, "Should we do something about them" Yellow asked.

Giselle shrugged, "Probably not, but we should go after them." And so they did.

Over the rest of the day Misty and Ash battled the majority of the school including some upperclassmen.

And they also sold Crepes to the rich kids at such an exorbitant price that it makes Disney World look like a non-profit organization. Letting the group leave with their Pockets much heavier than before.

If it wasn't obvious I am planning to change the League quite a bit since Ash should have seen some trainers he met on his journey in the league.
