Shadow: Hello peoples. This is a story about Ranger School located in Almia. Featuring Kate, Keith, Rythmi, and Isaac. Now if Miss April would be so kind to say the disclaimer.
Miss April: Light and Darkness are Brother doesn't own pokemon or any of the characters.
Shadow: Thank you, now lets get this show on the road.
Enters the Fiery Brunette
Loop by loop, points were adding up until 'Capture Complete' was shown on the screen of the green machine in her grip, the Pikachu she was capturing was loyal to her.
"Okay, good going. That's pretty impressive." A voice was heard and the Pikachu scampered over to a man.
"Hehehe…My name, it is Kaplan. You are now a member of our secret army, the indestructible Team School." Eh?!?!? I thought this was Ranger School!!!
"Oh, please, Mr. Kaplan!" A high voice echoed through the room, soon after that, a beautiful woman with brown hair and green eyes walked into the room.
"Please don't tease my student with a silly performance like that." The woman began to scowl at the man known as Kaplan.
"Ahahaha, sorry, sorry. The timing was just too perfect to miss. Ahem… Congratulations! You have passed the Ranger School's entrance exam with flying colors! That really was quite an impressive capture." This is just plain weird…
"Congratulations! You've been accepted. Starting today, you are officially a student of the Ranger School. I'm Ms. April. I'm your class's teacher. I'm pleased to meet you. Your classmates are waiting for you. I'll show you to our class." I followed Ms. April out and to the classroom. I heard Kaplan shout "Enjoy your school life" or something like that.
I was standing outside of the classroom, waiting for Ms. April to call me in. I heard voices and conversations from the students inside.
"As I mentioned yesterday, we have a new member of our class."
"Is it a guy? Or a girl? Which is it?"
"Is the new student cute? Cool? Or look like a celebrity?"
"Okay, that's enough! You can see for yourself. Here's our latest classmate! Come on in!" That's my cue. I opened the door and walked into the class observing every inch I could. One thing I noticed was a machine in the front of the class, another thing I noticed was that there were only six students there, including me.
"Our new friend came alone to our Almia region to become a pokemon ranger. Oh, yes. You should introduce yourself to the class rather than me." Alrighty, then.
"My name is Kate, from the Fiore region. Being a ranger has been dreams of mine since pokemon have saved my life numerous times before. I am very proud to be here and to soon be able to live my dream as a Top Ranger." My voice was strong and determination burned in my eye, which was until I heard a chuckle from a spiky haired boy.
"What? What's the matter?" My voice was still strong, but it had a pinch of irritation that someone was laughing at my dream.
"The matter is that you think you can be a Top Ranger. There's a thin chance of even graduating because so many people drop out of this school. Even if you do graduate, most rangers usually stay an Area Ranger their entire life until they retire, you'd have to be gifted and tough as nails to be a Top Ranger, how long did it even take you to catch the Pikachu? Two? Three hours?" The spiky haired boy was speaking to me as if he was the greatest Ranger out there, what a jerk.
"Hey what's your name, 'cause I think your familiar… Oh, that's right; you were the front cover of 'Egoistical and Bratty Jerks' right?" I asked with sweet innocence in my voice and a crooked grin marked on my face.
"Listen here, you little bratty—"
"Don't you call me bratty, you were the one that laughed at my dreams!!!"
"I was only saying the truth and you wouldn't have been able to be a Top Ranger anyway!!!"
"How do you know that and what's it to ya?!? If I fail or succeed, that's my own business. You have no right to tell me if I can or can't do something, who the heck do you think you are?!?!"
"I think I'm Keith Auburn, somebody who will be a Top Ranger because I got the highest score in the school for catching a pokemon."
"So you're Keith Auburn, well news flash, you no longer have the highest score in the school anymore! Before Kaplan gave his 'Welcome to Team School' act, he told me that I beat the highest score for catching a pokemon, and I'm the new kid who wasn't even here for ten minutes and I beat your score by 99 points on an entrance exam." This Keith kid was seriously getting on my nerves, which isn't good news for him because last time someone got on my nerves like this they learned the hard way that I am in advanced karate. That boys aftermath was a black eye and a broken arm.
"Impressive, kid. That's really impressive. Truthfully I just wanted to see how easily you would snap and what score you got. Hmm, so you got 999 on your final score? Someone hasn't got a score like that since Spencer about 13 years ago. You got real talent kid." Wait a second this person just wanted to see my score and how 'easily I would snap'? Now I really want to snap something of his.
"I'm sorry about everything I said, it would've been really boring to just ask you if you got a high score, so I decided to push your buttons a little. You actually blow up a lot easier than most girls here, can we be friends? I promise I will never try to anger you like that again." The boy looked really sincere and he was holding his School Styler over his heart which meant he must really true about not wanting to anger me. What the heck might as well make a friend.
"Sure, we can be friends. You are also forgiven for what you said. I must say you dodged a bullet today, last time someone angered me like that I gave him a black eye and a broken arm."Keith was holding his hand up for wanting to shake. Why not?
After I shook hands with Keith we became friends (AN: Sorry bout cutting it quick). Ms. April sighed and said"Keith why do you always do that with every student?" A shrug from Keith and an "I don't know. Its fun I guess." Ms. April let today be a special free study class and went to the teachers lounge. After the door shut all the students came around me (except Keith, who was sitting next to me.)
"Hey Kate, I'm Rythmi, I want to be an Operator. I'm the one that always shows the new students around the school, nice to meet you. By the way, Keith always does that trick on every student, it's really annoying sometimes, but what do you expect from Keith?" Rythmi had curly brown hair and light brown eyes. She was being really friendly to me and looked like she did this millions of times before. I think I'm gonna like it here.
"Then let's go! I really want to see the rest of the Ranger School." Excitement was layering my voice with every breath.
"Then follow me young Padawan." Rythmi told me in a impersonation of a Star Wars character while walking to the door.
I followed her with rhythm in my step. Once we got out of the classroom, we turned to the left and walked down the hall to find another classroom with the sign 'Kincaid's Class' on the door.
"I gotta warn ya, whatever you see, no matter how funny contain your laughter until we get out. Plus don't be shocked if you hear Kincaid say or yell 'No running in the halls' cause that's like his pet saying." I really didn't know what to expect what I would see if I went through that door, but it was something you really don't see, or smell, everyday.
Once I entered that classroom, I had to swallow my laughter, and not breathe out of my nose. The teacher looked like he had a yellow swirly lollipop on his head, but that was his hair. I couldn't breathe out of my nose because as soon as the door opened my nose was invaded by the smell of strawberry hairspray.
"Mr. Kincaid I'm taking our new classmate on a tour of the school, and wanted to show her this classroom." I noticed that Rythmi was trying her hardest to not breathe out of her nose.
"No running in the halls you two." Were the only words out of Kincaid's mouth, no hello, no nice to meet you, no what's your name, just no running in the halls. How charming.
After escaping into the hallway and closing the door, both me and Rythmi took a big breathe of fresh air and trying to get the cheap, strawberry scent out of our noses. Even after that we were coughing for air.
"Rythmi *cough* how does *cough* he get his *cough* hair like *cough, cough* that?"
"With a *cough, cough* ton of *cough* hairspray."
After a few moments of coughing, we started to laugh about Kincaid's ridiculous hairstyle and pet saying. Soon the laughter just shriveled up and died, soon there was a award silence between us. That was until Rythmi decided to break the silence.
"Hey Kate, I shouldn't say this out loud, but I think that Keith sees you as a real rival, either that or he really likes you." I nearly tripped over my own two feet. The girl must be kidding me, we hardly know each other. I was about to say something but when we were heading for the hall in between Kincaid and April's class room we heard Keith's voice.
"ISAAC, IT'S NOT TRUE, QUIT SAYING THAT!!!" After that, we heard a slam. On instinct, we both ran to Ms. April's classroom and upon opening the door we found Keith putting a blonde boy with a mushroom haircut, presumably Isaac, in a headlock.
"What the heck happened here?!?!?!?!?" I screamed at the top of my lungs while I pulled Keith away from the poor boy while Rythmi kneeled down to the blonde boy on the floor.
"Keith, why did you put that boy in a headlock?" I gave him a disappointed look and crossed my arms, which always made me look like an ashamed mother.
"I'm going up to my bed." Keith said darkly, with his bangs covering his eyes.
"I'm sorry about what Keith did, my name's Kate. What about yours?" I tried to apologize and to strike up a conversation at the same time.
"Hi Kate, I'm Isaac. I used to be in Kincaid's class, but it turns out he's the uncle that I never knew I had, and relatives aren't allowed to be in the same class. Please don't blame Keith for that, it was my fault for irritating him." Isaac was determined to make sure that I knew that Keith wasn't the reason for this.
"What did you say to him anyway?" I had to admit, I was curious to know.
"I was teasing him saying that he likes you." After Isaac said that he looked around, in fear that Keith might be around.
"That's not true Isaac and I won't believe you unless you have proof." Now this way he can't prove it.
"Actually, he was drawing a picture of you in a white sundress, surrounded by Gracidea flowers, Vileplume, Bellosom, Sunkern, and Hoppip."Crap. I grabbed the paper he was holding and looked at the drawing, which looked really life-like. What does this mean? I'll ask him later. I didn't notice the smile and pink tinge sneak onto my face.
If you guys like this, I will make another chapter, but it may take a while with all the work I have.
Peace,
Shadow
