Uh Oh~ I don't want an F, Professor Ace~

A week later

Ace stretched outside and turned to Brock, Lucy, May, Misty, and Dawn, "Okay, you're all ready?" They all nodded in unison, "Yep!" Ace nodded and said, "I'm leaving!" Elesa waved over her shoulder, "Love you." Ace smiled, "Love you." as he scooped everyone up, flying away on Noivern towards Naranja.

It didn't take long as Ace landed in the square with everyone. Noivern shrank back as Ace led everyone through the school gates. Dendra ran over, "Mr Ace! Hahaha!" while waving her hand.

Ace looked at her and smiled, "Hey!" Dendra grinned, "You brought people with you?" as she peeked, "Who are you guys?" They introduced themselves one by one and Dendra nodded, "Oh! Cool! You guys are coming to learn? That's good. Though, we don't really have a Contest Instructor… Hey! That's a good idea! I'll come with you to the Director. I heard Ms Geeta is here today too!"

Ace nodded, "Alright, you can tag along." Dendra fist pumped and walked next to Ace with a happy smile, "Mr Ace, are you gonna be a teacher here?" Ace rolled his eyes and said, "Just call me Ace… and how many times are you gonna ask?" 

Dendra smiled, "Until you become a teacher, obviously!" Ace's lips twitched, "I don't know." Dendra nodded and said, "Well, I think you should be a teacher. You know one of the Instructor exams is to break down one of your battles." Ace was dumbfounded, "What?!"

Dendra nodded, "Mhm! It's true! I had to break down a battle that you played 6v6 against a Gym Challenger with a team full of Fossil Pokemon. You used Cranidos, Shieldon, Amaura, Aerodactyl, Lileep, and Tirtouga. The Challenger even used a team of half fully evolved Pokemon and lost! I was shocked, you know! Now, you're my idol!"

Ace was speechless…

He wasn't getting Royalties for this!

Dendra asked 26 million questions and Ace answered slowly as they reached the Director's office… The others felt like they just went through hell… Dendra was very happy! Ace didn't really care that much.

I liked hearing the sound of his voic- Ahem!

I loved teaching!

Right!

As they walked in, Ace looked at the guy and Geeta, who smiled at him, "How's it going?" Ace gave her a thumbs up, "They should be ready now. I already handed a lot of them out. From what I got back, they all had no problems. There was only one time where they got a bit angry, but after being settled, there was never a problem again."

Geeta rubbed her chin and nodded, "I see… That's great! These are…" Geeta tilted her head as Ace introduced them one by one, adding, "I came here to help them get in through the backdoor." Geeta's lips twitched and the Director rubbed his forehead…

So direct!

Ace waved, "I can pay their tuition anyway, I have enough money." everyone in the room sweatdropped…

Rich people!

Ace looked at the Director, "So? Can it happen or what?" The Director looked at Geeta and sighed, can it be done… There's nothing else to say! "Of course, it's not a problem. Just fill out these documents and hand them back to me, I'll handle it."

Ace nodded and smiled, "Great! Do I still have to pay?" The Director nearly collapsed, can I say yes? Geeta smiled and shook her head, "No." Ace smiled happier than before, but froze as Geeta grinned, "But you'll get a Salary!" Ace looked at her and waved a finger, "Nono, I have a 3 year break!"

Geeta covered her mouth and chuckled, "Who said that?" Ace was speechless and she rolled her eyes, "I'm just joking. Of course you get your well deserved break, but Teaching isn't a heavy task is it? You only have to teach one class a week."

Ace groaned and under Dendra's excited gaze, "Fine…" Dendra jumped up, swinging her fist, "YES!" before rushing to the Director, "Director! Teachers can sign up for class too, right!?" The Director held his forehead, "Sure…"

Dendra excitedly took out a paper, signing her name first, titling it 'Ace's Ace Battle Class'

Lucy thought about it and signed up, Misty signed up too which means… May and Dawn also signed up. Brock didn't sign up, looking at the other classes available. He was shocked, such detailed classes! 

Coming here was a good idea!

Ace inexplicably had a class and 5 female students…

He stood around in the Director's office as Brock, May, Misty, Lucy, and Dawn filled out forms… looking like he was ready to be buried in the ground. Geeta patted his back, smiling, "It won't be that bad! You start next week!"

Ace drooped, "Yes… Massa…" Geeta rolled her eyes and brought him out, "So, shall we go pick the Pokemon up?" Ace dragged his feet, sighing as he trudged out…

My sparkling freedom…

Alas!

Shackled again!

Ace flew to Raimon City and landed in the backyard with Geeta. Elesa looked out from her chair, she took out a knife and saw Geeta before putting it away, going back to her magazine as her delicate foot rocked a cradle gently.

This mother thing, Elesa had it figured out!

There was even an umbrella shading the babies.

Ace whistled and the Pokemon came over, lining up.

Of course, many were missing…

Geeta didn't care about that, she cared about the Pokemon themselves… Plus, what happened to the Professor, but if an 'expert' couldn't do it, she had no other way. She couldn't go down into the Time Machine herself!

She didn't even know how to work a RotomRunner, you're asking to fix a Time Machine?

Are you stupid or is she stupid?

Ace looked at the Paradox Pokemon and nodded, the most basic ones were here.

Walking Wake was sitting in Misty's Pocket along with Iron Bundle. 

Slither Wing was with May along with Iron Leaves.

Iron Moth and Iron Crown were with Dawn.

Finally, Iron Jugulis was on the side, waiting for Paul to come pick him up.

Kinda like a kid waiting at school for his parent…

Ahem! Anyway!

Ace packed them all up and handed them to Geeta, she took the Pokeballs and put them away, nodding, "Good job." Ace yawned, "It's nothing special. They just need to be rehabilitated to normal standards. Honestly, you could've done it yourself." Geeta chuckled and grinned, "I have you, why work?"

Ace was stunned and Geeta laughed as she shook her head, walking away. She came to Elesa, "Hello, Elesa. How are you?" Elesa smiled at her, "Geeta, long time no see!" Geeta sighed and complained, "I would come around more often, but I'm always busy." Elesa sighed and nodded understandingly.

They chatted for a bit, Geeta teased the babies, before she left.

Ace was in a daze as Elesa looked at him, laughing as she asked, "Should I call you Professor Ace, now?" Ace sighed and looked at the sky helplessly, saying "Day is never finished… Massa got me workin'... Someday Massa set me freeeee…" Elesa giggled and curled her finger, "Come here."

Ace walked over and Elesa pulled his shirt, kissing him, "I think I need extra credit, 'Professor'~" Ace's eyes lit up and he grabbed her thigh, "That can be arranged…"
