Hello everyone and welcome to the latest fan-fiction from the insane mind of Naso. I know I should let more voting take place before I decide which fic I should do, but I did plan on doing two new fictions. One, being voter choice, and the other being my choice. When I stopped and thought about it I realized that I had a lot of fun writing Pokemon High, and that if I really wanted to enjoy writing a fan-fiction then as a personal choice I should write Pokemon High 2! I have even more nutty ideas than I listed at the end of Pokemon High, and they offer more appeal to me as far as writing skill goes. I don't write fan-fiction for work though! I write Fusion for work. Anyway I hope you all appreciate this decision, and keep in mind voting is still taking place on what the other new fiction will be. Without further wait I now bring you Pokemon High 2!

**Sorry, but I'm currently starting a new list of quotes to use in my fics. I didn't expect to start a fic again so soon! Hopefully no one really cares, ouch.**

Chapter 1- I Slept In!

In Pallet town lived a former pokemon master known as Ash Ketchum. He had given up the sport of pokemon a long time ago, and in his old home he had started the rest of his life with his wife Misty. In the first years of their marriage the young couple started a ranch to raise tauros on, and it soon developed into a breeding ranch for all pokemon types. From that success there came speculation from friends and family that Ash was going to expand the ranch into other towns. All of those rumors ceased when Misty announced her pregnancy.

In the spring of the following year the couple were blessed with what they still consider their most valuable treasure. Named after a tree planted by Ash's mother, and resembling her own mother very much, was born one Sakura Ketchum. She was raised all around pokemon of all types, and she has helped her parents breed pokemon since she was six. Now she is sixteen, and she has decided to try something different. Can her parents live through the ensuing heart attack however?

In the Ketchum residence in Pallet there was peace and quiet all around. Ash was coming in to have breakfast after feeding some of the pokemon, and Misty had gotten up after him to make breakfast. Both were enjoying a quaint conversation at the kitchen table when Ash raised his head suddenly. "Misty what time is it exactly?" Ash asked his wife. Misty only swatted him upside the head absently before returning to her cooking. "There is a clock on the wall you know dummy." She said as she shook her head.

Ash grinned as he looked at the clock on the wall. "Misty I think Sakura overslept." Ash said as he started to reach for something near Misty's general location by the stove. "She does take after her father." Misty said. She smiled slightly at that comment, but generally she was still only paying attention to her cooking. Then, she felt a hand on her hind end. "If she takes after her father too much I have a felling Poppy is going to be hurting some young men." Misty added as Ash got the hint and returned his hand to the dinner table.

"Why'd you want to know the exact time though Ash?" Misty asked as she turned the burner off and dished out her own breakfast of scrambled eggs. Before Ash could answer his wife however they heard a loud crash from upstairs as their daughter obviously fell out of bed. "No reason really." Ash said as he finished his breakfast, "Three, two, one." As if on cue there came a loud shout from upstairs.

"OH MY GOD IT'S AFTER 9:00!" Sakura screamed as she looked at her alarm clock from the floor of her room. Cursing herself rather openly the young girl rushed into her bathroom and quickly began to shower and get ready in record time. Then, she ran back into her room and changed from her nightgown into her daily outfit of blue jeans and orange tube-top. She then made sure to put on her socks, sneakers, and also grab her two most treasured accessories. One was a sky blue bandanna with a horsea that she tied around her neck, and the other was a blue and orange jacket her father had given her just the other day for her journey.

Sakura quickly looked over her short red hair in the mirror before she dashed downstairs. Upon reaching the first floor she poked her head into the kitchen to give her most heartfelt of goodbye to her parents. "Bye Mom! Bye Dad! I'll call you from Pewter tonight!" Sakura yelled as she started to bolt towards the door. Her progress was cut short however when she was struck silly by an electrical blast. Looking down at her feet Sakura noticed two things. The first was that she was now on her rear end in the living room. The second was a very peeved pikachu at her feet. "Oh I'm sorry!" Sakura giggled as she picked the upset pokemon up in a gentle hug, "I'll miss you most of all Poppy."

Ash looked on from the kitchen, and he seemed to realize something at that point in time. "I've never seen Poppy shock Sakura before." Ash noted, "Then again Sakura was kind of like Poppy's niece, so I could understand that." Misty only smiled as she took a bite of her eggs. "Don't forget your backpack sweety." Misty called after her daughter, and she was soon greeted with the sound of Sakura bolting back up to her room. Ash sighed and leaned his head down across the table.

"Told you she takes after you." Misty said as she knocked her husband over the head. Sakura flew back down the step once again a minute later and both grownups continued with their breakfast in the renewed peace of the morning now that their daughter had finally departed. Poppy entered the kitchen, and jumped lightly onto the counter to get her some food. "I hope Gary doesn't give her a hard time about getting a pokemon." Ash said as he remembered what he had gone through his first day as a pokemon trainer. "I hope she don't ruin someone's bike." Misty mumbled to herself as she continued breakfast.

Gary Oak himself was having a good time in the lab. He had given out all but one of the pokemon to the new trainers, and he was just waiting on one more. Sakura had waited until sixteen to start her pokemon journey, and it was supposedly so she could choose if she wanted to be a trainer or keep breeding with her parents. That wasn't why Gary was so happy however. As he dusted random pieces of lab equipment his grandfather waited nearby the door to the lab. The wizened old professor only smiled as Gary polished his beaker shelf for a third time.

As if on instinct, the older of the two Oaks stepped away from the door of the lab. He continued to watch Gary for a minute, but then he shrugged and returned to his previous spot in front of the door. "Grandpa why did you just move like that?" Gary asked as he noted his elder's actions. "No reason I guess Gary." The professor admitted. Approximately three seconds later he was smashed into the wall as Sakura burst through the door of the lab. "Wait, there was a reason." He stated as he felt an odd mix of pain and déjà vu wash over him.

"Well it looks like someone overslept." Gary said as he turned to greet Sakura. She only responded to what Gary said however with a death-glare. "Oh your father's slow thinking, AND your mother's glare. You certainly are in fine form today." Gary mocked before he went over to a small mechanical pillar in the center of the lab, "I assume that you don't plan on being so rude to your new pokemon? Is that right Sakura?" Sakura dropped the death glare as she looked at the pillar with eyes full of hope. "So there's still pokemon left?" She asked Gary as she joined him by the pillar.

Gary only continued to smile. "So you've decided what you want then Sakura?" He asked her in the best deadpan he could muster. "Well I did think about it a lot last night." Sakura said as she put a hand to her chin in thought, "I decided that I wanted a type that would be versatile when I started, and I picked a water type! I choose totadile!" Her thin hand left her chin to hit the release button on a ball located over a blue sphere on the pillar, but the ball only popped open to reveal an empty shell.

"I'm so sorry." Gary said as he looked at the empty case over Sakura's shoulder, "That pokemon was already chosen by a trainer who got up on time today." Sakura's shoulder's slumped, but she reasserted herself and chose again, and again, and I think you know the rest.

Okay so it was a short first chapter, but I promise more next time! Much more now that I think about it. I apologize to anyone, who is reading this without reading Pokemon High, as you won't understand just how Ash and Misty got together. It doesn't really subtract from the story yet, but it will if you keep reading. Hello to all of the fans of my last installment in this, boy I guess it's a series isn't it? I hope you all enjoyed what little there was to this first chapter, and I promise more soon. Next chapter Sakura meets her first pokemon and she also meets her first trainer. Hopefully she won't follow in her father's first day exploits and get someone upset with her!
