Pokemon Special High School Edition!
"Red! Get your butt downstairs for breakfast, its time for school!"
Red whom has just woken up drags his feet to the bathroom to prepare for school. Red is just your average high school boy in a very normal world. Red washes himself up in a jiffy and stares into the mirror.
"Today's the day I'll finally conquer you!"
Red picks up his brush and begins combing his hair furiously. "God damn hair… go down already!" The current score is Hair: 378 and Red: 0, but alas, his spiky hair prevails, pointing upwards triumphantly.
"Oh forget it…" He wears the blouse hastily and straightens his red tie. "Coming mum!"
Finishing his breakfast quickly, Red bid farewell to his family and embark on his journey…to school.
Red attends a local high school called Poke High which is a fairly prestigious school known throughout the nation for its unique logo; a circle with the upper half being red and the bottom half being white.
Within Poke High, there are four sections to its infrastructure; the cafeteria, gymnasium, the field and finally the studying block where all the different cohorts attends their lesson and lectures.
Red, being a second year, makes his usual routine up the staircase of the studying block and onto the second floor. He makes it to class earlier than expected and is greeted by a familiar sight as usual. Green, his childhood friend, with his green tie and distinct brownish spiky hair is always in his seat reading some sort of novel. Red pulls his chair back and seats down next to him.
"Morning Green,early as usual, by the way, do you have that thing ready?"
Green replies Red without putting down his novel. "I always have that thing ready."
"Good, let's settle the problem quickly," Red stretches out his hand while grinning widely.
Green sighs, reaches out to his bagpack by the side of the table and tosses it to Red, "You really have got to stop taking this for granted you know."
"Thank you so much Green! I owe you one! It can't be helped; I have my usual part time work last night and couldn't finish my homework…" Red takes out his own notes and place them side by side on his table.
"The amount of favors you owe me could probably reach the moon if stacked upon one another."
Red stops copying his notes and tilts his head towards Green whom apparently has resumed his reading session.
"Did you just make a joke?"
"No."
"Is that so…? I must have misheard it then," Red continues his homework when suddenly the announcing system rings. Apparently when an announcment is about o be made, a certain tone will be played beforehand.
"Eh, testing peanut butter jelly time… okay its working, can Green of class 2-D come to the student council room please?" While everyone is laughing at that ridiculous statement, Red and Green both freezes on the spot. They would recognize that familiar voice anywhere, that voice that carries trouble wherever it goes. The next instance, another voice interrupts the broadcast like a roaring lion.
"HEY Blue! Don't misuse the system!" After a while, it becomes quiet again and everyone resumes their work, completely disregarding the incident as an everyday happening. Yup, the one broadcasting that absurd message was Blue, who is the childhood friend of both Red and Green, and also happens to be the student council president of the school due to her insane popularity amongst the boys and some of the girls.
"That annoying woman, Red, I'll be going to the Council room for a while, return me the notes when I come back."
"No problem! Better get cracking then"
Green leaves the room and Red continues to scribble furiously in hopes of finishing the homework due for the next lesson. Just then, Red feel someone gently tapping him on the back of his shoulders, forcing him to stop work and turn back.
"R-Red, was that Blue that spoke in the P.A system?"
"Morning Yellow, and yes it is Blue… who else do we know will attempt to hijack the P.A system early in the morning…"
"I thought so…"
Standing next to Red, is a cute blond girl called Yellow whose yellow ponytail pretty much stands out from the crowd. She is the gang's other childhood friend, repetitive yes, but still a childhood friend since they pretty much live close to one another and plays in the same neighborhood. Yellow is pretty short for a second year high school student and have a tendency to stick around the gang, especially Red and Green due to her shy nature. They go by the nickname 'Kanto', which Blue chose on a whim.
"Red, are you doing your homework again? It's not healthy if you keep this up you know. Red, would you like to go home to-to..., Yellow's words trail off as she struggles to put across what she wants to say, blushing bright red. On the other hand, Red is waiting patiently for Yellow to finish her sentence without reading the mood.
"W-what I'm trying to say is…"
Before Yellow could finish her sentence, the school bell rings, signaling the start of homeroom and the arrival of their homeroom teacher.
"Hmm? What wrong?"
"Ah, never mind, its nothing important…"
Yellow dejectedly walks back to her seat as the teacher and Green enters the classroom.
"AH, THE HOMEWORK! It's not done yet!" Red gets back to work immediately, but in the end, he could not make it in time and was sent out of the classroom as punishment for handing in a half done assignment.
After three hours of boring non-stop lessons, its finally lunchtime. Normally Red and Green would eat at the cafeteria while Yellow and Blue will eat together in Blue's class room 2-A, however, there's a change in plans today. When the teacher leaves the classroom, Red and Green both stands up from their seats and faces each other. It was a showdown! Everyone starts crowding around them to witness the battle between the popular childhood friends whom have been depicted in boys romance fanfiction written by many of their fangirls. Within no time, crowds of students encircles the duo as the two stares down at each other, neither refusing to back down.
"Green... I'm not going to lose now."
"Hmph."
Both of them clenches their fists as they attempt to read the movements of the other in hopes of having an advantage. It is an intense battle of patience and willpower as both of them observes each other predicting their next moves.
The air is still and tense, the tension is soon reaching its peak as the two steadies their fist, preparing for their first assault.
Then, the fight begins, both Red and Green makes their first move at the same time!
"Let's go Green!" Red rushes forward with his ever changing fingers hoping to gain the upper hand at the last minute.
"This match is mine." Green on the other hand shows utmost confidence with a fighting spirit intent on winning.
Silence envelops the air as everyone stares in disbelief at the two fighters. On the other hand, Yellow is still trying to get past the rings of students blocking her from the centre of action. The result is clear and the victor determined.
"I won, Green…", Red smiles victoriously, shoving his winning hand into Green's face.
An amazing turnout from the battle, Red beats Green in… Rock-Paper-Scissors?
Red is paper while Blue is rock. In actual fact, this whole battle was about whom to stay and distract Blue while the other goes to buy lunch. Green was summoned by Blue this morning whom told him to stay in class to have lunch with her and Yellow. Red and Blue didn't have their own lunches and knowing Blue, she would have concocted something outrageous for them to eat. This was their usual way of handling things regarding Blue since most of her suggestions or actions would mean their suffering in many ways than one.
"Red, I will entrust my lunch with you."
"Got it, I'll be back!"
Red dashes through the crowd and out into the corridor. The crowd encircling them starts to disperse after realizing how meaningless this display is. Green goes back to his seat and picks up the novel while chanting safety prayers. Moments later, a blood curdling scream echoes through the corridor and then it went completely silent again.
"She got him", Green sighs and closes his novel before whipping out a bun as his backup lunch in case things like this happens. The classroom door opens and Blue steps in with her hands fix firmly onto Red's face and dragging his body across the floor like a giant plushie.
Blue smiles devilishly as her grip tightens significantly on Red's face as he squirms around trying to break free, "Green…I would like to have a word with you."
