(Our story continues as Mew and her friends are now walking in a foggy area as they try to find Vermilion City.)
Mew: "It's official… we're never going to find Vermilion City in this fog."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "Yeah. I'm also getting hungry."
(Misty says.)
Pikachu: "Pikachu," (I'm hungry too,)
(Pikachu says.)
(Eevee sits down and says.)
Eevee: "Eevee Eevee." (And I'm tired.)
(Brock has set his backpack down and taken stuff out.)
Brock: "I think we all need a little break. Why don't I just throw a little something together?"
(He soon brings out a table and places a tablecloth on it, as well as plates, cuts, utensils, and a lot of stuff.)
Brock: "Ah! There's nothing as satisfying as a cup of 100 percent Cerulean coffee. You kids are too young for this stuff, but it's really quite good. How about some prune juice?"
(Brock says, bringing out water.)
Mew: I think I'll pass,"
(Mew says.)
(Then Misty suggests.)
Misty: "How about some herbal tea?"
Mew: "Um, do we have anything to make tea with?"
(Mew asks.)
(Then Brock says.)
Brock: "Not so fast, everyone."
(Then brings out a tea set.)
Brock: "I brought my official Pokemon tea set! Now, of course, the key to good tea and coffee is good water. And I just happen to have a generous supply of sparkling, delicious Mount Moon Pure Spring Water!"
(He then takes the bottle out of his backpack.)
(Then says in a french accent.)
Brock: "And for ze special snack, I have for you some French Crepes."
(Misty gasps in excitement.)
Misty: "I love French things! They're so romantic, aren't they?"
(Then Brock says.)
Brock: "By the way, I can't cook crepes and I can't boil water if I don't have a fire! One of you is gonna have to go into the forest and bring back some firewood."
Mew: "Okay. I'll stay here while you and Misty start getting everything ready."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "Sounds good to me."
(Misty happily says.)
[Sometime later...]
(Mew, Pikachu, and Eevee are walking around in the woods as they try to find any firewood for them to use.)
(Luckily, they already find some food for them to use.)
Mew: "I think we need to collect a little more firewood and then we can head back."
(Mew says.)
Pikachu: "Pika pi," (Sounds good.)
(Pikachu says.)
Eevee: "Eevee," (Okay.)
(Eevee replies.)
[Suddenly...]
(Pikachu noticed something.)
Pikachu: Pika Pi! Pikachu! (Mew! Look up ahead!)
(Mew and Eevee look ahead to notice a big ball of light.)
Mew: "What's that?"
(Mew wonders.)
(Three then decide to walk over to see what it is.)
(When they walk closer, they see a young boy that is running on a running machine.)
(He looks a bit tired.)
(He is also being surrounded by a group of boys and each is holding a candle.)
(All the boys including the one on the machine are wearing the same uniform.)
One boy: "Alright, what's the name of this one?"
(One boy asks, holding a card.)
(The boy on the machine answers.)
The boy: "Is it a Zubat?"
Another boy: "Listen, just because it's foggy out here doesn't mean your brain has to be in a fog."
(One of the boys says.)
(The boy on the machine says.)
The boy: "It's a Pidgey!"
A boy holding a candle: "Nice guess. You just got lucky."
(A boy holding a candle says.)
(Another boy asks.)
Another boy: "Okay, now tell us what its special attack is."
The boy: "Pidgey's attack is Gust. At level 5, Sand Attack. At level 12."
(The boy on the machine says.)
The boy with the candle: "Everybody knows that. Now, can you just tell me at what level Pidgey evolves? And what's the name of Pidgey's advanced stage?"
(The boy with the candle says.)
The boy: "Um,"
(The boy on the machine tries to think.)
(Another boy sternly says.)
Another boy: "You better come up with answers quickly, or you'll have to run faster."
(The boy who is running stops and feels very tired.)
(He groans in pain and says.)
The boy: "I'm sorry, I forgot."
(The boys around him sigh.)
Another boy: "You forgot,"
(One of the boys says.)
(He scoffs and says.)
Another boy: "And you call yourself a Pokemon Tech student? Well, we don't want to study with the likes of you."
The boy: "I'm sorry,"
(The tired boy replies.)
(Seeing the young boy being bullied, Mew sternly walk over and angrily says.)
Mew: "Hey you! You better leave that kid alone!"
(The group of boys turn to see Mew and her Pokemon walking over to them.)
Mew: "What's going on here?"
(Mew angrily asks.)
The boy, holding the cards: "There's nothing going on here. Mind your own business, this is a private training session."
(The boy, holding the cards says.)
(Then a boy with green hair says.)
a boy with green hair: "There's no room at our Pokemon school for losers who don't even know Pidgey's evolve stage. We have to maintain standards."
(Mew puts the firewood down and helps the boy up.)
Mew: "I don't know about this school of yours, but if it's turning out students like you, I'd say that the standards are pretty low!"
Misty: "That's right, Mew! You tell em!"
(Misty says, arriving at the scene.)
Mew: "Misty? I thought you were at the campsite waiting with Brock."
(Mew says, surprised.)
Misty: "I was, but I soon heard all the shouting and came to see what was up. Now as for you boys, you better stop bullying that kid or you'll have to answer to us! Right, Mew?"
(Misty says.)
(Mew smiles.)
Mew: "Right."
(Then turns to the boys.)
Mew: "Now listen, leave that boy alone or you'll have to deal with me and my friends."
The spiky haired boy: "We don't fight,"
(The spiky haired boy says.)
(Then the green haired boy says.)
the green haired boy: "Fighting is for cavemen. This isn't the stone age, you know."
The boy with the long hair: "And if we wasted our time having a fight with a couple of little insects like you, it'd just make Pokemon Tech look really bad."
(The boy with the long hair says.)
(The green haired boy walks up to them.)
The green haired boy: "We'll see you back at the Tech, Joe."
Joe: "Okay,"
(The boy, Joe sadly says.)
(Then the boys leave the scene.)
(Mew asks.)
Mew: "Who are those creeps anyway?"
Brock: "So those are the infamous tech students?"
(Brock replies, stirring the crepes in a bowl with a whisk.)
Mew: "Tech students?"
(Mew says, confused.)
Misty: "Pokemon Tech. I think it's short for Pokemon Technical. Yeah. It's a school for Pokemon trainers. I know I have a flyer here somewhere."
(Misty says, and reaches in her pocket.)
(Then take it out.)
Misty: "Here it is."
Mew: "A Pokemon school in the middle of nowhere?"
(Mew says, confused.)
(Then turns to see her Pokemon looking at the machine.)
Mew: "Careful you two, that machine isn't safe."
(Mew says.)
(The Pokemon nod their heads in reply.)
(Brock takes the flyer and reads it.)
Brock: "Pokemon Technical Institute, a boarding school for serious Pokemon trainer preparation. All students are guaranteed to enter Pokemon League upon graduation. Pokemon Technical is the educational facility for exceptional students who want to be Pokemon trainers in a very short time, without having to travel on difficult badge collecting journeys.
(And finishes reading.)
Brock: "Oh. So that's the story."
Mew: "Getting into the Pokemon League without badges is too easy. It also doesn't sound fun."
(Mew says.)
(Then Brock says.)
Brock: "Wait, there's more. Student entrance fees and tuition are in keeping with the high standards set by Pokemon Technical."
Misty: "You know what that means, don't you? It's one of those snobby, private schools that only millionaire's kids go to."
(Misty says.)
Mew: "I think it sounds like a bunch of phooey. Where is this school anyway?"
(Mew replies.)
(The boy Joe points out.)
Joe: "It's right over there!"
(The fog clears to reveal a large school and it's as clear as day.)
[Just then...]
(the P.A announcer on the speaker.)
P.A Announcer: "Today's special class, fog battle techniques, is now ending. Tomorrow's lesson will be snow competition secrets."
Joe: "Oh well. I guess tomorrow they'll make me into a snowman again."
(Joe sadly says.)
Mew: "Do they treat you like that all the time?"
(Mew asks.)
Joe: "My friends are just trying to help me."
(Joe answers.)
(Mew arches her eyebrow.)
Mew: "You call them friends?!"
Brock: "With friends like that, who needs enemies?"
(Brock comments.)
(Joe then says.)
Joe: "But they helped me learn that Pidgey evolves into Pidgeotto at level 18, it learns Whirlwind at level 21, Wing Attack at level 31, and then as its level rises, it learns various tricks. After evolving to Pidgeot, it can fly at twelve-hundred meters at speeds of up to mach two!"
(Confused, Mew asks.)
Mew: "I don't get it. If you know everything about Pidgey, why didn't you just answer them before?"
Joe: "Sometimes I make-believe that I don't know all the answers, because if I do, they make the questions that much harder. But I have to stay here at Pokemon Tech. My mother and father worked hard and saved money so they could pay to send me to school here."
(Joe says.)
(He then turns his head.)
Joe: "You see that guy over there?"
(The group turns their heads to see a man reading under a tree.)
Misty: "That guy? What about him?"
(Misty asks.)
Joe: "He's an upper classmate, but the classes are so hard here, some students are held back for many years! Everyone's too ashamed to go home without getting a diploma. That guy, he's in the beginner's class with me."
(Joe says.)
Mew: "You're a beginner?"
(Mew asks.)
(Joe says.)
Joe: "A beginner has the same qualifications as someone with two badges. The intermediate class has the qualifications of four, and the advanced students have the same as six. If you graduate, you can enter the Pokemon League without traveling around to collect the badges. That guy is a beginner, but he's so much older than everybody in the class, the kids don't bother to help him like they help me."
Misty: "What do the teachers say about that kind of help?"
(Misty asks.)
Joe: "They don't even know about it. Or if they do, they pretend not to."
(Joe answers.)
(Mew angrily says.)
Mew: "Well, I for one think that this is a violation of students' rights that must stop immediately if not sooner! I want to meet the student in charge of this system and I'll see that it's stopped!"
(Joe then holds out a photo.)
Joe: "Here's a picture."
(The group looks at the photo to see a light skin girl with long brown hair.)
Joe: "Her name is Giselle."
Misty: "Huh? It's a girl?"
(Misty says, confused.)
(Brock blushes as he says.)
Brock: "Oh, yeah. You're right about that. She can violate my rights."
(Misty then asks, looking confused.)
Misty: "Hey! If she's making your life so miserable, how come you're carrying her picture around?"
Joe: "I hate the way she treats us, but I like the way she looks."
(Joe says.)
Mew: "Maybe so, but she's not very nice if she makes the system like that. I think it's time we talk to this Giselle."
(Mew says.)
Misty: "I agree,"
(Misty says.)
