Clap clap!!!
At that moment, a round of applause filled the room as a slightly overweight, middle-aged man in his forties walked in, clapping his hands.
"Ah! Principal!" Joe exclaimed in surprise when he saw who it was, but at the same time, he looked a bit worried.
"Principal!" the other students echoed. The boys who had been causing trouble earlier didn't look too pleased. The school had a rule that students were not allowed to battle Trainers from outside the school.
While it wasn't a major issue, they had instigated the conflict, and losing now meant tarnishing the school's reputation.
"What a wonderful showdown!" The principal approached the two Trainers. At this point, Sundae noticed him as well. She glanced at the principal but didn't change her expression. She wasn't concerned about the rules, knowing the school couldn't really do anything to her.
For her, losing the match was what stung the most.
"Young man, what's your name?"
"My name is Ash, and I'm from Pallet Town!" Ash responded, eyeing the principal with little hostility. He seemed much more approachable than the students here.
But when you think about it, this school caters to its students. The high tuition fees are what keep it running, and they even go as far as to treat the students as their top priority.
Most of these students come from prominent families, so the school isn't too strict with them. It's no surprise that some of these students have developed arrogant attitudes.
"Pallet Town? No wonder..."
The principal was slightly taken aback upon hearing that. Pallet Town has produced many outstanding Trainers over the years. It was even known as the birthplace of talented Trainers long ago. It's not surprising that such young and exceptional Trainers come from there.
"I've been following your battles, and it seems you don't fully agree with our school's education."
"Not really. The school only teaches the pros and cons of types, level differences, and single-skill knowledge. That alone can't be considered excellent," Ash replied calmly.
The principal fell silent after hearing Ash's words. He knew that Pokémon battles involved much more than just basic knowledge, but the school struggled with how to teach those deeper lessons.
Focusing on this limited knowledge for too long can make students lose their creativity. When faced with unexpected moves in competitions, they often don't know how to react.
This is why their students rarely reach the finals in the League competitions, but they've never found a way to address it.
"I'm not trying to criticize your school's education level," Ash continued, "but I believe that all Trainers are the same. As a school, you should teach not only Pokémon knowledge but also the values a Trainer should uphold."
"Just because you attend an elite academy that not everyone can afford, doesn't mean you should disregard the efforts of other Trainers. A Trainer doesn't need to attend a prestigious school to have a successful future."
"Few of the strongest Trainers today, the Elite Four and Champions from various regions, come from Pokémon Academies!"
Seeing that the principal remained silent, Ash didn't ramble on but simply spoke his mind.
Hearing Ash's words, many students glanced at each other, feeling uneasy. His words struck a chord with many of them.
They were used to looking down on others, but it wasn't just because of the school. It was more about themselves. They were born into wealthy families and usually didn't have to work hard to get what they wanted.
After a long time, it's inevitable for such habits to form. Even if they didn't fully agree with Ash's words, they didn't dare to argue further. Deep down, they knew they weren't his equals in battle.
"You make a lot of sense, Yuto. Do you understand?" The principal nodded slightly, showing his agreement with Ash's words.
He then turned his attention to Yuto Sundae. She was one of the school's top students, someone the principal had high hopes for. However, he hadn't been able to identify where the problem lay or how to address it. Ash's arrival seemed to demonstrate, through action, that certain lessons couldn't be learned just from books.
Sundae remained silent after hearing the principal's words. She then looked at Ash, Joe, and the others.
"Joe, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have forced my ideas on you." The so-called "tough love" approach had been her idea. With her arrogant personality, she had believed that Joe, who struggled academically, wasn't fit to be their classmate.
That's why she had encouraged others to make things difficult for him. But now, after hearing Ash's words, she began to understand.
"Yuto..." Joe was surprised. He never expected Yuto Sundae to apologize to him. It was something he hadn't even dared to imagine.
Even if she hadn't apologized, he never would have expected her to.
"Your name is Ash, right? Thank you for your advice. You've made me realize how many shortcomings I have. I apologize for my previous rudeness." Sundae walked up to Ash and spoke sincerely.
This didn't mean her personality had suddenly changed. She was still proud, but it wasn't the same arrogant pride as before. Now, she could distinguish right from wrong.
She also no longer looked down on Trainers who aimed to travel and earn Badges. After all, if she truly thought that way, wouldn't she be looking down on the Elite Four and Champions as well?
"I'm very sorry!" Not only did Yuto Sundae apologize, but the others, who had once looked up to her as their leader, also came forward to bow and apologize to Ash and the others.
Seeing that their attitudes had changed, Ash didn't hold a grudge. He wasn't the type to be unreasonable.
"By the way, Ash, why did you come to our school?" the principal asked at this moment.
Their school was located in a secluded area deep in the mountains and was managed in a closed manner. Outsiders rarely knew of its existence, so he was curious about how Ash had ended up there and even gotten into a conflict with the students.
"We were originally headed to Vermilion City, but we got caught in thick fog and lost our way," Brock explained, stepping in to answer for Ash.
