Chapter 1: Carlota's In Trouble

Chapter Text

[Morning at Chavez Academy, and Carl is in a particularly euphoric mood]

Carl: "Ah, I love Fridays. I can already smell the weekend. Freedom. Pizza."

[Ronnie Anne and Carlota are walking behind him, feeling desolate]

Ronnie Anne: "It's Monday, Carl."

[Carl groans, joining his hermana and prima's desolation. Just then, Principal Valenzuela approaches them]

Principal Valenzuela: [Upset] "Ah, just the Casagrande I've been looking for. I need to speak to you and it's important."

Carl: [Gasps] "Principal V! She knows about my milk scam. Initiate getaway plan!" [Pounds on a locker which reveals a biometric scanner, Carl scans his hand and the locker opens revealing a

teal backpack. Carl puts it on] "Arrivederci, chumps."

[Two rocket boosters emerge from the backpack sending Carl - who forgot that he's inside - flying straight up, straight into the ceiling]

Principal Valenzuela: "Relax, Carl, I'm here for Carlota. This time."

[Carl pulls himself out of the ceiling]

Carl: "Ah, thank goodness."

[Carl suddenly remembers he's on the ceiling and drops. Meanwhile, Carlota approaches the principal squealing with excitement]

Carlota: "Does this mean you're finally taking me up on my makeover offer? I'll grab my emergency kit." [Takes out a little pink box which she drops to the floor, it opens and several containers of makeup emerge from it followed by a mirror] "We'll start with the hair right?"

[Grabs spray and a brush and prepares to start]

Principal Valenzuela: "Carlota, I'm here to tell you that you're missing a PE credit, you'll have to make it up, ASAP."

Carlota: [Not liking this] "Oh, no, see… I don't love sports so I took extra art classes. That should be enough credits, right?"

Principal Valenzuela: "I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. If you don't get that PE credit you can't graduate."

Carlota: [Shocked] "What!?"

Principal Valenzuela: [Suddenly more positive] "Good news is… there's still time to join a sport." [Walks away] "Have fun."

Carlota: [To her prima and hermano] "Worst day ever! First, it's Monday and now I'm not gonna graduate?"

Ronnie Anne: "What? Carlota, you just have to join a sport. Easy peasy."

Carlota: "You don't understand, Ronnie Anne. Sports are really not my thing."

Ronnie Anne: "Not yet. Maybe you just haven't found the right one. I can help with that. And I have someone in mind who can also help."

Carl: "Pfft. Good luck. Wouldn't want her on my team."

[Just then, Becky walks up]

Becky: "Cool backpack, Carl. What does this cord do?"

[Pulls it]

Carl: "No! Stop! Degalo!"

[A pogo stick emerges from the bottom of the backpack, sending Carl bouncing into and off the ceiling over and over right down the hall]

Carlota: "I'll try any sport except whatever that was."

Ronnie Anne: First let's wait for my friend.

[A star portal opens and Goh walks through.]

Ronnie Anne: Goh?! I was thinking of Lincoln.

Goh: Yeah, America knew, but he’s on his own mission so she sent me, and gave me this watch and wanted me to give you one as well.

[Goh hands over the extra watch to Ronnie Anne and she puts it on.]

Carlota: How is he supposed to help with sports?

Goh: Well I know a lot about Pokemon and their strength, I’m sure I can warp it into human sports.

Ronnie Anne: The co-leader chose him, so I’m confident.
