" Ho , ho , ho , to think that the great Drew has actually performed this pathetically " A new voice caused everyone to turn and see Giselle with the group that were with Joe earlier. "You and Joe are an embarrassment to this school."

Austin narrowed his eyes at hearing that as Joe looked ready to cry and he remembered that Joe was still a ten year old who probably just lost the only confidence he had because of that . While Drew just snorted and left with miles .

"She's just like a Movie Star." Brock said with a red face.

"Get it together Brock." Austin told him as he crossed his arms before glaring at her. "Who the heck do you think you are to say that to him?!"

"I'm the top beginning student in the most impressive Prep School in the world, Pokemon Tech." Giselle said as she brushed her hair back as if it meant something. "It's sad that others aren't blessed by my beauty, talent and humble attitude. People call me a star but I'm just Giselle."

Austin just gave a deadpanned look. "Not exactly humble if you're bragging about it."

Giselle just ignored him and walked up to Joe. "I want to help my classmates be the very best that they can be. To teach and respect each other and enjoy the Pokemon of tomorrow." Giselle began before frowning as she glared at Joe. "But you're just a weakling."

Joe took a step back in shock as everyone was now looking on in disbelief at what she just said, only Austin was quiet.

"You better get stronger fast or before you know it everyone will leave you behind-."

"Why don't you shut up!" Austin shouted out in complete anger.

Pikachu, Yellow, Misty and Brock looked at Austin in surprise while Giselle looked dumbfounded for a second before glaring. "Excuse me?" Giselle asked with a look. "What did you say to me?"

"I told you to shut up!" Austin snapped giving a full glare to her as this was seeming very familiar to him, only it was him in Joe's position back in Middle School.

~ Three Years Ago ~

Austin was sweating as he had on a regular blue shirt and shorts, looking at the clock in school.

'Come on.' He thought looking from the clock to a girl in his class with silky black hair and gray eyes.

That girl was Jane Price and she was a girl that he's had a crush on for two years.

Today was the day he was finally going to ask her out.

The bell rang after a few minutes with Austin immediately going out of the class.

"You can do this." Austin said taking a deep breath as he smiled, showing some braces that looked new. "Just speak like you practiced."

It changed to the courtyard where the buses were as Austin approached Jane and tapped her shoulder.

Jane just gave him a look with a raised brow as Austin took a deep breath. "H-Hi."

"What?" Jane asked in a bored tone.

Swallowing nervously, Austin began. "I was just wondering if… Maybe you would like to-."

"No way, are you actually?" Jane didn't even let him finish as she began laughing. "Me? With you?"

Austin blinked at this as some people were paying attention due to the laughter.

"I don't date geeks." Jane said as Austin blinked. "But then again who would date one like you?"

"W-What?" Austin asked taking a step back.

"Do I have to spell it out metal face?" Jane asked taking a shot at his braces. "You're a nerd, a geek, I would rather be shot then go on a date with you."

Austin took a step back at hearing that.

"Besides I also know that you're a stalker from how you've been looking at me the last two years." Jane continued as Austin's eyes widened.

"I-I'm not a stalker." Austin tried to say as Jane shook her head.

"So get out of here before I sick my boyfriend on you." Jane said before putting a finger to her chin. "Maybe I'll let him know what happened so he can deal with you."

Austin was quiet as she walked off, still laughing as he looked down with pain in his chest and his eyes were getting wet.

It took him two years to work up the courage to do this and this was how it ended.

~Present Time~

'She's as bad as Jane was.' Austin thought shaking in anger.

"You may think you're all that but textbooks and schools do nothing to real experience." Austin continued glaring at her. "So stop putting him down."

"Oh really, how many badges do you have and how long have you been travelling?" Giselle challenged.

"Two badges and two months-."

Giselle busted out laughing in a way that made Austin's mood worse as it was a familiar, condescending one. "A beginner and you've had two months with letting your Pikachu walk around freely, you haven't been able to tame it yet?" She asked as Austin clenched his teeth while Pikachu was now glaring.

"Why don't you stop talking about stuff you don't understand." Austin said as his mood was getting worse.

"I don't understand? I am the top beginning trainer in this academy." Giselle snapped with a look of her own.

"Then prove it." Austin said taking a deep breath to force himself to calm down. "Three-On-Three?"

"I only need one." Giselle said wanting to show this kid he was nothing.

As she turned to grab her Pokemon, Austin turned only to see the others looked concerned. "I've never seen you worked up like that Ash, what happened?" Brock asked with a raised brow.

"Sorry, it's just… She brought up some bad memories." Austin said looking away.

"Chu?" Pikachu poked his foot.

"Are you alright?" Yellow asked giving a frown.

"I'm fine now." Austin said as he saw that she was coming back.

"Show her that she's not as strong as she thinks." Misty said wanting to see the arrogant smirk wiped off Giselle's face.

"I will." Austin promised as he turned just in time to see her release her Graveler.

"Let's make this quick, I have a study session to get to." Giselle said flipping her hair back.

Austin glared before taking a Pokeball off his belt. "Pidgeotto take the field!"

"Wouldn't Raticate make a better choice?" Misty asked in shock. "At least she doesn't have any weaknesses to rock types."

"Oh using a weak type against a rock? I knew you had no idea what you were doing." Giselle said as she looked at Graveler. "Use Rock Throw!"

"Vler!" Graveler dug his four arms into the ground and began throwing huge chunks of the field.

"Double Team!" Austin ordered as Pidgeotto began making various copies of herself, using them to dodge the attacks as all of them flew quickly around Graveler causing him to try to find out which one was the real deal. "Steel Wing!"

The real Pidgeotto shot out of nowhere and slammed into Graveler causing him to roll as she shot back in with the copies, making more as she did so.

"Show that bird why you're the best!" Giselle said not expecting the first battle to go this way. "Rock Blast!"

Graveler began shooting pure energy that was coated in rocks, each one missing until one got a lucky shot and sent Pidgeotto down to the ground.

"Now Smack Down to cripple her!" Giselle ordered as Graveler reared his arms back.

"Run out of the way with Quick Attack!" Austin ordered as Pidgeotto forced herself up and began running using her talons to dodge the various Smack Downs.

"Whoa, I never seen a Pidgeotto do that before." Joe said in shock at how the bird kept dodging attack after attack without flying.

"And he's only just beginning." Yellow said remembering how Pidgeotto was in the Pewter Gym and how far the bird has come.

"Now use Twister!" Austin ordered as Pidgeotto ran before flying up in the air as she circled around and used the blast of air to knock Graveler into the air. "Now finish this with Aerial Wing."

With that done, Pidgeotto shot in, using the same combo that Fearow sometimes uses, slamming into the Graveler, sending him into the ground as he was unconscious.

"T-That can't be." Giselle said in shock that her Graveler lost to a Pidgeotto.
