Journey Towards Greatness

After Julian had his dinner with Samson, he went back to the hotel he is staying at as it was closer to the restaurant they were eating at and the view was also very lovely.

After bidding farewell to Samson, Julian headed back to his hotel room, on his way there he enjoyed the night sky of Alola, the clear sky highlighted the shining stars and the cool breeze coming from the ocean was a refreshing feeling.

Tomorrow will be another day of his searching for answers, he is also a teacher now, and even though temporary, he will have to think of something to teach the children, being the experienced trainer that he is, he has a lot to teach, from preparing a special recipe for each pokemon to different training methods depending on the shape and type of pokemon.

With all the knowledge that he has inside his head, the students will benefit a lot from it.

He returned to his hotel room and went to sleep as tomorrow will be a very different day for him and he is looking forward to it.

The next morning, he was woken up by the first ray of sunlight entering his room and touching his face, he opened his eyes and got up from his bed, and started stretching, he then did his usual morning routine and cleaned himself up for today.

Making his way to the pokemon school, he saw the same Alola from yesterday, the people were busy walking around and attending their daily work even though it is very early in the morning, he took out his bike and rode it to the pokemon school.

When he got there, he saw that students were already there running around and playing with their pokemon, they seemed happy to be there and genuinely loved spending their time there, not like the schools in his previous life where most students didn't like going to school.

A friendly and better environment seems to be very important for a student's education. Parking his bike inside the school ground, he made his way towards principal Samson's office, he will be the one who will introduce Julian to his students.

When he arrived at principal Samson's office, he was already there waiting for Julian. When he saw Julian, the smile on Samson's face got brighter as he welcomed Julian.

Samson "Good morning, are you excited for your first day as a teacher?"

He asked enthusiastically.

Julian "Well this is something new so I don't mind seeing how it goes".

Julian replied.

Samson "Great, and you don't need to worry about teaching the whole school, you will only be in charge of a small group".

He said.

Julian "I thought I will be teaching the whole school".

Julian said.

Samson "Well, our teaching methods are very different, we allocate just one teacher for a small group of children so they can bond with their teacher and the learning process will be much more immersive".

Samson replied.

Julian "Well, it sounds better in theory".

Julian replied.

Samson "Hahaha, it is also very practical, since the children who attend the school are very small in number we don't need to stuff all of them in one small room and it works wonders".

Julian "So which class will I be teaching?"

Samson "Well, Kukui was the one who was teaching this class before but since you are here, you will be in charge of them, but don't worry, if you are busy and need to attend something else, Kukui can take over for you, you can also ask him to assist you during classes".

Julian "Ok then, let's go meet these students".

Samson "Great, let's go".

Samson said and guided Julian towards the classroom where his new students are waiting for him.

Inside Julian's class_

Kukui is standing in front of the board and looking at the group of students in front of him, there are six students sitting at their desks and all of them have a confused look on their faces.

One of the students with an orange hair color raised his hand to question Kukui.

"Professor Kukui, what do you mean by you will not be teaching us anymore, are you going somewhere else?"

"Professor Kukui, don't leave please".

Another one chimed in thinking that Kukui is going to leave.

Kukui "Hahaha, you got it all wrong, I am not going anywhere, it's just that someone else will be teaching you from now on, but that doesn't mean I will not be here, I will sometimes be your substitute teacher when he is not around".

Kukui explained.

"Who is this new teacher, Professor Kukui?"

The orange-haired kid asked again.

Kukui "Well, you all are very lucky that he decided to teach you, I think there is no one better at understanding pokemon than him, even though I have a Ph.D., I only specialize in certain subjects but him being a traveler and a pokemon trainer, he has trained a lot of powerful pokemons and understood them better than most people.

He can teach you a lot of things when it comes to pokemon, some things that even I don't know, this is all because of his vast experience when it comes to pokemon.

Actually one of you already knows him".

Kukui said and looked at the kid sitting in front of the class, this kid is none other than Ash, seeing Kukui was looking at him, Ash got confused and wondered who this person is, even the other children looked at Ash for an answer.

"Ash, do you know who are new teacher is?".

A girl with green-colored hair asked.

Ash "I don't know".

Ash replied as he couldn't make a connection even after all the information that Kukui threw at him, Kukui just sighed and smiled.

Kukui "Well, he will be here shortly and you all will find out".

As soon as he said this Principal Samson walked into the class along with Julian who is right behind him, the students turned their heads and looked at Samson and then at the person standing next to him, they recognized his face as they had seen him in front of the school a few days ago.

Ash "JULIAN!!"

Ash got excited seeing him and yelled out loud.

Julian was also surprised by seeing Ash here, he didn't expect Ash would be attending school here and he will be in his class.
