Math (Learning League): Difference between revisions

Ash and his pals walk into a Pokémon Center and notice that there are several large boxes all over the place. Ash wants to know what's going on while Dawn wonders if it's closing. They find Nurse Joy and Dawn is just about to ask her what's going on but Brock interrupts her in his usual girl-crazy mode. He immediately decides to show her [[Brock's Happiny|his Happiny]]. Nurse Joy comments that it's adorable. Ash asks what exactly is going on at the center and is concerned if it's closing or not. Nurse Joy replies that they're actually getting food and supplies ready for a small town that doesn't have it's own [[Pokémon Center]]. Dawn inquires if there's anything they can do to help, and Nurse Joy requests for the largest boxes from the storage room. Brock gladly agrees. When they get there, they find that nearly all the boxes appear to be around the same size. Brock suggests that they look at the sides. However, this only tells them about the area of the sides and not how much the boxes can hold. As they ponder, they all immediately exclaim who they can ask for help: Ada! They call her up and ask her about how to get the volume of the boxes.

A crowed has gathered in the middle of the town and Ash and Dawn come across it. They wonder what are they looking at. Officer Jenny explains that a Pokémon Trainer, who is also an artist, was commissioned to paint a mural to beautify the city. He is apparently famous for counting the number of brushstrokes in his works and being very meticulous. Helping him is his Smeargle, but as it paints on the wall, a bit of paint flys off it's tail and lands onto the sketch the artist was working on. Smeargle apologizes, and the artist forgives it, but now he's isn't able to follow his sketch. Ash and Dawn agree to help him out. He explains how his mural is supposed to look, but the instructions seem a tad complicated for Ash and Dawn. They don't want to do a bad job on it, so Dawn calls Ada for advice on patterns. They find Ada looking at a shirt she plans on giving away to charity, but she doubts that anyone would want it due to it being an unpleasing design. However, the shirt helps her explain how patterns with numbers work.
