This takes place after the first chapter, where Ash left to go get himself lunch.

Ash's POV

Hello. My name is Ash Ketchum and I want to be...

Well to be honest with you, I really don't know what I want to be. When I was just a kid, I always wanted to be a Pokémon Master. I don't know why I lost my dream of becoming a master since I love Pokémon battles with a fiery passion. I guess it all started when my siblings, N, Concordia, and Anthea, came into my life.

They are not related to me by blood, my mom adopted them when I was just 8 years old. Just so you know, N is older than me by a couple of months. Anthea and Concordia are twins, but we don't know who is older (If you ask me, Anthea is the older one. Concordia is always the barely controls her energy. Hehehe~); they are both younger than me by one month.

My mom adopted them because she is just that kind. Also, it is rare to find orphans running around in Hau'oli city; heck there is not even an orphanage in any of the islands of Alola. So before they were adopted by mom, those three were the only kids in Melemele Island to not have a roof over their heads. Sad, huh?

I first saw them when I went out with my mom to help with groceries at a local marketplace. For the first eight years of life, I never met saw anything sad before the day I met with my future siblings. Their clothes were so dirty and ragged, heck they were not even wearing shoes.

My mom and I were not the only ones looking at them in pity. I'm pretty sure everyone was looking at them and it scared Anthea and Concordia while N tried to be brave. He asked the old lady for some fruit and she kindly gave them some and even offered some drinks.

N, Anthea, nor Concordia accept the offer. They just took the fruit and left in a hurry.

If there is one thing I know about my adopted-siblings is that they do not like being a bother. When they were first brought into my family, they showed their gratitude by help clean around the house. Heh~ I remembered how they failed miserably at doing the laundry and how they tried to vacuum the house.

My mom was not mad; in fact, she just laughed that before cleaning up the mess with Mimey (A Mr. Mime) helping her.

After that incident, I tried to have us play together, but they were apprehensive around me. The reason? My love for Pokémon battle. My siblings hate seeing Pokémon getting hurt which I don't blame them. When I was growing up, I never knew there were trainers who abuse their Pokémon for unjustifiable reasons. Also, I never knew there were people who just see Pokémon was tools or trophies.

(People like that make me sick)

Also (before my mom took them in) other than themselves, the only other family that they have are the Pokémon who were with them. They kept them a secret which anyone would understand because it is rare to find them in Alola. A Ralts, a Gothita, and a Zorua.

I won't bother you with the details on how they started to warm up to me because I just reached the cafeteria. (Because it will be explained in future chapters)

Third POV

If there is one thing that Ash can say that makes High Hau'oli Academy a great school is that they allowed Mallow to cook for everyone. For those who do not know Mallow, she is the daughter of a chef, who owns a well-known restaurant in Melemele Island called Aina Café. Mallow has definitely inherited her father's culinary skill and she happily feeds anyone so she can see them enjoy her cooking.

Mallow is not the only one is allowed to cook. Ash's blonde sister, Concordia, also has a knack for cooking, but she hardly cooks at school since she wants to save her energy to work at her mother's restaurant, Melemele House. She may have the energy, but working at Melemele House really saps away all of her energy thanks to all the customers.

Mallow's father and Ash's mother are competitive with one another, but they do not let it affect their kids.

"Here, Ash!" Mallow said as she hands him a tray of food.

"Thanks, Mallow." He thanked as he fished around in his front right pocket, looking for his wallet.

The green haired chef stopped him right there.

"Don't worry. It's on the house." She told him with a smile. "You can pay me back by eating at my papa's restaurant."

She actually gets paid by cooking at the school.

Ash chuckled, "But Concordia will be mad at me if I do that."

"What she doesn't know won't hurt anyone"

"Except me if she ever finds out." Ash said. Not wanting to argue with Mallow anymore and because his stomach is ordering him to eat something, he ended up paying for his food. Before he left to go find a table, he said one last thing, "By the way, Anthea needs you to model for a project that she is working on."

Mallow put on a seductive smile, "Want to join us?"

Ash did not notice the lust in her voice because he started fearing for his own life.

"And risk myself becoming my sister's personal human mannequin!?" Ash asked rhetorically. "No way! I learned my lesson two days ago."

N suddenly felt a chill that went up his spine. Kiawe noticed it and knew what it means.

"Let me guess. Anthea?"

"Yep," N replied as he look around. Fearing a certain bubblegum haired girl will appear at any second.

"Want to help fix my family's barn?" Kiawe asked, knowing what the answer will be.

"Sure!" N said enthusiastically with a nervous smile. "I'll even come to your house after school!"
