Quest of Time and Space
Chapter One – Begin Lucas!
Lucas, who couldn't tell his odds and evens, but he should have counted his luck- not anybody knew what would become of this mere child. "Uh….random evil homework obsessed teachers…never eat roast oranges…whatever- uh, the end of the hols now…" he moaned.
He wasn't a strange pupil, more of an overactive one, a messy green haired student. "Lucas, hurry up your coach has arrived!" Flick, his father yelled.
"You don't want to be late do you?" Sakura, his mother called
Sierra, one of Flick's friends was sleeping over, as she walked down the stairs, yawning and noticed Lucas.
"Ah, you must be Lucas Sydney, Flick's son! I've heard so much about you! My daughter definitely wants to meet you!" She said as Lucas started on his breakfast, a simple bowl of cornflakes.
He messily rushed to finish them, then ran out of the door, grabbing his schoolbag as he left. He leapt down the stairs and ran onto the coach, panting as he sat down.
Minutes passed like seconds, and after about 10 of them, the coach stopped. "The bus has stopped at Kyoto High".
"Oh, great!" Lucas muttered as most of the children on the bus poured out of it, leaving him on the bus, he yawned then trotted off the coach and onto the grounds of the colossal Kyoto High.
He adjusted his backpack, and ran off into the school reception. He had recently done his test to see if he could become a Pokemon Ranger, but the results hadn't arrived, only ONE child per year would become one, which Lucas wished was him.
"And the lucky one is…" Shouted Mr. White, the headmaster. "Lucas Tengarin Sydney!"
"Yes! But NOO!! They used my non-existent middle name!" Lucas yelled back at the speakers.
"Dude, you did it!" Yelled Naoko. Naoko was Lucas's girlfriend- he was more courageous than Flick, his dad, when he was at 'his age'.
"You hit bull's eye!" Continued Hiroshi, Lucas's friend.
"Please could this Pupil report to my office!" White Shouted.
Lucas slowly opened the door, adjusting his beret as he entered. He looked around for White, and saw him opening a package.
"It's FINALLY HERE!" He yelled.
"What's here, sir" Lucas asked.
"Oh, yes; come in" White said as Lucas closed the door and sat down.
"Ok, you've become a Pokemon Ranger, so what do you plan to do first?"
"Umm…Explore the world?" Lucas replied, nervously
"WRONG!" White boomed "You need a Capture Styler! Take this!"
Professor White handed Lucas the package he was holding, Lucas unrolled it, and in the bubble wrap was a new, metallic black Capture Styler with the words 'Lucas Sydney, Pokemon Ranger 437' engraved in the polished surface.
"Whoa…It's…um outstanding sir, thank you very much" He responded.
"You don't need to act all 'proper Japanese' with me, it doesn't matter if you say 'Man, That's off the Hook!'" White chuckled.
Lucas nervously laughed "I rather not sir. Thank you sir; I should get going now, sensei is waiting for me…" Lucas finished and leapt out of the room, rushing to get to class to stare at sensei.
He ran through the halls, dodging the deputy head and skidded left, into the study hall, where his sensei was waiting eagerly for his return.
"Congratulations, Lucas!" She cheered, crouching to Lucas's height to give him a cuddle.
During the next hour, study-hall was simple. All he had to do was kick back and relax, and gaze at his new Capture Styler and Sensei in turn …even though Silver, his rival of the class was plotting against him; this was his plan.
O.K, here's what Im gonna do. First, at the trip, I'll rush to the fountain and unplug the spring water supply- then stick this bottle of booze in its place; where Lucas will drink it. Then when we come back to Kyoto, the booze'll kick in, making him do all stupid stuff to Sensei; making her fall for me! The most beautiful teacher in the world WILL BE MINE!!
"Stop now, study hall has ended; free period had started!" Sensei yelled.
What Lucas hated more than the coach flood, was the study hall flood; which he was usually in, but now, since he ranked higher than most pupils so now he had to act more…'sophisticated' than most of the other kids.
After the flood, Lucas started to strut out, but Sensei stopped him.
"Lucas, sorry to stop you but…were going on a field trip to explore Kyoto, beyond the school!" Sensei explained, "And, best of all, I'm going to be your group leader!"
Later, after the school day ended, they retreated to their dormitories- Lucas shared dormitory 31 with Hiroshi and Naoko, but Silver was in the other room, and tended to play loud music during the time, Team 31 were trying to study for the test- but all was over for Lucas- he became a rookie ranger today.
He walked onto the balcony, and gazed out onto the garden, covered in cherry blossom and glared, there was one singular mountain- its name was Mount Coronet. He always wondered what was on top, and according to Flick, was some place called 'Spear Pillar'. His hair blew in the breeze.
"K, Lucas, lets-" Naoko started, but then stopped when she saw Lucas's far off gaze.
"What?" Lucas asked, turning to face her.
"I was going to ask you if you could help me with my work- but you are already doing something" She explained.
"O-K then, what's the work, oh- math…well you um… kinda…K, I'm stumped- but you could ask Hiroshi, maybe he knows!" He replied.
He walked in, closing the door, looking through the window; sighed and turned, to come face to face with Hiroshi.
"Whaddya doin'?" He asked.
"Nothing, uh, I'm goin' to sleep…" Lucas replied
"But it's only 7!" Hiroshi reminded.
"And Im sleepy, duh" Lucas lied. He actually wanted to go to the top of Spear Pillar and become a veteran by capturing powerful Pokemon there. He also wanted Sensei to kiss him- but that was far off. O.K you must get this- he expects all of them to occur at the field trip.
About 3 Hours later, when everyone was asleep, Lucas got up off his bed, grabbing the metal post at the end of his bed, then dropped it and ran up to the balcony…and waited…and waited and a sharp gust of wind came, sweeping Lucas of his feet, and into the darkness below, with a variety of moans and crashed following.
"Will he live?" Someone asked. "Lucas…"
Lucas woke up- in the trauma centre of the Kyoto hospital, with a bandage on his head and his arm in a sling.
"What happened? Why am I here… who-what-why-whoa!" Lucas asked, collapsing onto his bed in pain.
"When you lied, you kinda…well…how do I put it gently…um- you fell like 9 stories from our dormitory…" Naoko started
"Then hit the concrete on your arm…when we found you...-you were almost dead-ed!" She continued, scolding Lucas in her anger's wake.
"And…um…that's all- Hey you didn't leave any of the explaining to me!" Hiroshi argued with Naoko.
Above all of this, Lucas was thinking about sensei…how she must be feeling, currently unaware of Lucas- she was currently at school- no-one would tell her, just thinking of her star (And favourite) pupil dieing… would crush her to pieces.
Someone walked up to Lucas's bed.
"Hello Lucas, my name is Shinji, one of Flick's friends." He claimed.
"And why hasn't he told me about you…?" Lucas replied.
Shinji smiled, pushed Naoko and Hiroshi aside, and grabbed Lucas. He smirked, then lunged forwards and dug his teeth into Lucas's neck, making random slurping sounds as the sucked away on the boy.
"Mmm…" He muttered and sucked on Lucas, who had passed out. He finished drinking, then turned away, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, and sprinted away.
"Hey! Whaddya do that for!" Hiroshi yelled, stunned.
"Get your hands off him, FREAK!" Naoko yelled after, still stunned. Her eyes rolled back into her head, and fell to the ground…
