Hello, everyone and welcome to another fic by yours truly, Icee The Hedgehog. I've decided to branch out and actually write a fic for the Pokemon Category with an idea I've had in mind for quite awhile. Yes, another human Legendary High School story focusing on how the Legndaries from the various Pokemon Regions deal with being humanized and the campus life.
This fic takes place in Hoenn in a school I made up called the Poketech Academy. It's most likely located near/around Mauville City.
In the future, this fic will contain minor romance and pairings (not sure of all pairs that will be involved yet though), and violence/blood, so it is rated T for those reasons.
Please enjoy...and apologies for the slightly sloppy Prologue.
Prologue
We shouldn't be here...
Those were my first thoughts as I stepped onto this loud, crowded contraption known as a "school bus", loaded with all of my belongings, and who knows how many other people, headed to the new campus in which I will be calling home until who knows when.
Why did things end up this way you ask? Well, needless to say, it wasn't my fault it happened, or at least, I don't believe it to be.. It's Kyogre, Groudon, Palkia, Dialga, and any other set of Legendaries who choose to fight on a daily basis' fault for making Arceus get mad and send us here in the first place.
I still remember how things ended up this way as if it happened yesterday (wait, it did happen yesterday)...
As what always happens every few years,, some nuts of humans had plans for Kyogre and Groudon, and awakened them, attempting to use their Primal Forms to revert the world to how it was in the beginning. However, their plans backfired when the two Pokemon chose to fight and nearly cause our planet to be destroyed once again - and guess who has to play mediator? ME! I stopped them, back to their holes they went, dealt with Deoxys afterwards, and that was that. Nothing too out of the ordinary, right?
Well, until the word got to Arceus...
Not an hour after the situation had been rectified, I found my happy tail, along with all of the other Legendaries sitting in Arceus' shrine, hearing him yell about how he is tired of our planet nearly being destroyed because we choose to act like brats. He went on to say that we need to start connecting with each other and the humans that we live with instead of sitting in our shrines all day long and coming out only when forced to come out, thus getting mad and "unnecessarily fighting" with people and Pokemon. He went on to say that until we connect with other humans and Pokemon, we shall never be able to live in harmony like we all dream.
So, without hearing out anybody else's opinions on the topic, Arceus turned us all into humans, gave us belongings, got us into a college called The Poketech Academy, and here we sit in this smelly bus, headed to the campus, not knowing how long we will be in this state or if we'll ever be in our Pokemon forms again. Absolutely not fair in any way whatsoever...
Now here I sit on this stinky bus (and I mean stinky, because someone didn't freshen up before they hopped on this bus), crammed against the window because Giratina isn't kind enough to scoot over and give me any room. In front of me, I see Regice, snoring away. The only reason I know it's him is because of his very light blue, almost white colored hair, and the necklace around his neck, which is blue and has yellow dots inside, arranged in the same fashion as the dots on his face when he's in Pokemon form. To anyone else he would seem just like any other human - as well as the rest of us. Arceus purposely did that, since he knew that if our true identities were revealed outright it may very well start a war, and nobody needs any more of those (well, at least I don't...).
A big part of me wonders how in the world Regice can comfortably sleep on this bus. I mean, don't get me wrong. I would love to be asleep in my shrine right now, as probably would any of the Legendaries on this bus, but my mind is wandering too much for me to just sleep right now (and Giratina's butt is just about touching mine in this crammed seat, but that's beside the point.). My blood's boiling at the fact that Kyogre and Groudon's (and everyone else's) unnecessary, childish fighting pushed Arceus to this point. I'm sure you, whoever is reading this stuff, would probably feel the same way if you actually knew about the ridiculous things they nearly destroy the planet over. Heck, one of the many things that have caused those two to argue was how Groudon felt that Kyogre's screechy cry was annoying and needed to change. Like we can control our voices, right? Times like that are when I question the maturity of Legendary Pokemon who have roamed this Earth for ages. You'd think they'd be more mature than this, right? I'm sure if Legendary Pokemon were just a tad bit more mature and just minded their own business, we wouldn't have our planet getting destroyed nearly as many times as it has by angry Legendaries. Sure, not every incident would have been avoided, since the humans are also at fault for getting us out of our shrines and attempting to use us, and that's out of our control, but I'm sure over half the incidents that have happened over the years would not have occurred if Legendaries just left each other alone.
I'm sure some of you are probably calling me a bit hypocritical by complaining about how the other Legendaries fighting, as I am often fighting with Deoxys as well. Well, in my opinion, the fighting we do is not of the same nature as the fighting between the other Legendaries because unlike their fights, ours are not over immature childish things. The only reason that we fight is because I don't trust Deoxys. I have questioned his motives for constantly trying to get onto our planet many times, never to receive an answer. As such, I fight him off until he leaves, because I don't trust that he won't harm the Pokemon and humans on the planet. He insists he's not intending to cause harm, but I don't believe that. I mean, you don't just send a highly destructive meteor at Hoenn and not be intending to hurt people - there's just no way, right? Until I get reasonable answers from Deoxys about the subject, I will continue to fight him off every time he tries to come, no matter what it takes out of me, to ensure the safety of the people and Pokemon on the planet. That, I feel, is my duty as a Legendary.
"Alright, we are arriving at the campus!" the driver's voice sounds over the intercom. "Please make sure you leave nothing on the bus, because once you get off, I will be driving away and you will not be able to get it! Have a great school year at Poketech!"
The intercom clicks off and we grab our bags, preparing to leave the bus. Just moving in this new body feels unreal. I'm not used to it at all. My arms in this body sport a much longer reach than they do in my Pokemon body, and the legs just flat out feel unreal. I often have trouble balancing myself on my new legs, sometimes forgetting that they are there. Nonetheless, I manage to grab the green colored book bag that I brought with me and prepare to leave the bus. Giratina finally scoots over enough so that I have some room, grabbing her own bag.
No sooner do I get my bag together, I hear commotion in the back.
"Ow! What the heck, Sapphire!?" someone snaps.
I recognize that voice right away even if it isn't their Pokemon voice - there's just no mistaking the anger in it. It's Groudon, and he's yelling at Kyogre, AKA Sapphire. (Yes, Arceus even gave us names for our new forms, mine simply being Ray. It's not much of a change compared to some others' changes). I swear, it's too early for them to start fighting again especialy since they caused this. I suppose there's a slight bright side to this - at least their powers are disabled.
"Sorry, it was an accident!" Sapphire yells, shaking her long blue hair out of her face. "Why do you have to snap at everything, Ruby?!" she yells at the boy who is out of his seat, Groudon, AKA Ruby.
"Accident!?" Groudon snaps. "Whatever! Like I'll believe that! You're always here to stir trouble, that's why we're here! You're so annoying!"
"Young man!" the driver yells over the intercom "Have a seat!"
Of course, the command is disregarded. One thing I know about Groudon is that he won't listen to anyone. He barely even listens to me half the time. The only reason I always manage to stop him from fighting with Kyogre is because I get Kyogre to stop responding to Groudon's insults. Kyogre's alot easier to calm down, as I've known for years. Calming Groudon is impossible unless he has nothing to respond to. Unfortunately, Kyogre has a bad temper, and has trouble resisting the insults Groudon hurls, hence why they constantly fight.
"You're who's annoying!" Kyogre snaps. "Why don't you just go away? We'd all appreciate it, you have no reason to even be here!"
I sigh as the two argue back and forth for about five minutes. I feel us being pulled over since Groudon is still not seated.
"Young man!" the driver repeats. "Have a seat!"
The driver is again ignored as Kyogre and Groudon continue to bicker about who's the most annoying person. In my opinion, right now, they both are being annoying, and they had better stop disrupting our bus ride or else. After five minutes, I cannot hold it in anymore.
"SIT DOWN ALREADY!" I yell at the arguing humanized Legendaries. "WHO CARES WHO'S ANNOYING? YOU ALL ARE ANNOYING! SAVE IT FOR THE CAMPUS!"
Several people turn to look at me, some Legendries, some just average humans. Luckily, Groudon knows that he ticked me off, so he sits down, though he does not stop bickering with Kyogre. I could care less on if they bicker since they can't hurt each other. I just wanted us to keep moving.
Luckily, the driver must think the same way, as as soon as Groudon sits his butt down, we are moving again, Kyogre and Groudon arguing away the entire rest of the trip. Luckily for me, we arrive within a few minutes, and the doors open.
"Have a wonderful year at Poketech!" the driver farewells.
Yeah...we'll see about that.. Not even at campus, and those two have already started to bicker. At this rate, we'll be stuck as humans forever...
