Chapter 1 – First Impressions

Hey guys! Insane Dominator here with a fresh idea! I thought of this as I watched Fairy Tail OVA 2, and I wondered what would happen if Nic and friends from The Fairy Contender were involved. I'm not certain as to how long this story will be, but it'll be short. Probably no less than five chapters, so I hope this story is worth it.

I'm not entirely certain when OVA 2 is dated, but I would say maybe around the Oracion Seis Arc or before the Edolas Arc, so that's where this will take place, so Vanessa won't be included, but will be mentioned.

So this is The Fairy Contender version of Fairy Tail OVA 2, hope you all enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Fairy Tail nor Pokémon. Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima, and Pokémon belongs to Satoshi Tajiri and Nintendo.

Chapter 1 – First Impressions

In a rather small makeshift bungalow close to town, there was a lone boy, who had just woke up as the sunlight beamed onto his face, signaling that another day of school.

Nic Pularis, a newbie in Fairy Academy, slowly arose from the boarded floor he slept on and felt his back crack as he stretched. Sleeping on floors wasn't an issue for him, he always slept under bridges, trees, practically anywhere that would make the normal human being ache and whine. The only reason he made a crappy bungalow was because as a part of attending Fairy Academy, he had to have fresh clothes, and considering that he only had a couple of anything, he had to make sure he washed them every day and night.

He wasn't gonna complain. His actions always spoke louder than words, as he was known for being a top-class fighter back from where he came from. He was imported from a different continent named Kalos, along with his 'pets', or as he would call his family. There was a dragon with a tail flame, a giant cobra, a walking chameleon, a huge predatory bird, another dragon that was more of a hammerhead combo of a raptor, and a large ninja frog. Apparently his country was big on having these creatures fight, and Nic physically taught them how to fight. They considered Nic family in return, as he always helped them out and vice versa. They would follow Nic anywhere.

Nic put on some gray dress pants and a purple dress shirt and a black tie as he prepared for another day of Fairy Academy. He turned towards his team as they obediently looked on. "I'll be back. Greninja, you're in charge."

Greninja nodded. "No problem."

Kecleon tilted her head. "I like my mornings sunny-side up."

Nic snickered. "I do to. It's better than having a stormy morning I'd say." He then turned and exited his shelter. Nic made way through the thin woods towards town and made way towards the academy.

20 minutes later…

Nic was the only student who wasn't wearing the acquired uniform, which was a white shirt, as he wore purple. It was a dilemma for the student counselors, but Nic had a way with words, and they allowed Nic to be an exception.

A little variety wouldn't hurt.

Nic walked into the building, where he made way towards his assigned homeroom on the third and top floor of the three-story building.

Nic stopped at his locker, where it was spotless. He huffed lightly as he opened it and saw that it was only containing a few of his art supplies that he always carried about before he came to the country of Fiore. He looked and inspected the rest of his locker to check for vandalizing, in which he was all clear for.

A female voice called out from his left. She had multiple blonde bangs and pink lipstick as she looked all glee for the day. "Boker tov, Nic!" She greeted.

Nic glanced towards his left and grinned. "And good morning to you too Sophie." He responded mildly, closing his locker and turning towards his new friend. Sophie was one of the first people to have made acquaintance with him, so he didn't have any problems when conversing with her.

"I trust that you're faring better in terms of productivity." Nic said.

Sophie raised a brow. "What are you talking about silly? You adapted far faster than anyone ever has!" She stammered.

Nic chuckled and looked at the ground below. "True, but Carla was making quite a fuss about my attire."

"I don't doubt you there. She can be such a pushover." Sophie groaned with hands behind her head. "Honestly, I have no idea how you weaseled your way through the dress code."

Nic smirked in remembrance.

He was called in his first day, in which he sat in front of a desk that was supplied for the counselor he's supposed to see. He sat patiently in a lone chair, right next to another person. A girl. She was a brunette with a large skirt, massive buxoms, and her blouse wasn't adjusted like the other girls.

Nic was in a mental debate as he was trying to think as to how he could make a conversation, or if he should keep his mouth shut. He just looked at her, seeing the impatient and disinterested glance she gave to a nearby area in the room.

Nic just went for broke and turned his head slightly towards his left. "So what you in for?" He asked.

The brunette kept her disinterested gaze as she looked towards Nic. She took a brief moment to process what he said, as she wasn't paying attention.

"That damn Carla keeps pulling me in here because of my dress." She explained. Her skirt was longer compared to the other girls attending Fairy Academy, reaching to her shins. Her blouse was unbuttoned enough so as to expose a fair amount of her buxoms, to which Nic tried his best to ignore as he addressed the brunette's situation.

"I see. Too be honest, I find your attire okay." Nic innocently said. "There's nothing long with a little variety here and there."

"That's exactly what I said!" She stammered in disbelief. "You can't imagine how much she breathes down my neck just because my skirt is too long."

Nic snickered. "I don't doubt you there; if anything, I oppose uniforms." He admitted. "These stamps they give us are alright, but I would think a little freedom in what we wear is important too."

The brunette smirked as Nic was on her side, compared to everyone else. Another subtle rebel like her, yet he doesn't seem too resistant if people played their cards right. She took notice to Nic's attire being different, with the purple dress shirt.

"What's your name?" She asked.

Nic grinned. "Nic. Nic Pularis."

"Cana." She responded back, crossing her arms under her breasts and leaning back against the chair, relaxing. "I think you and I are gonna get along just fine."

"Well Sophie, let's just say that I speak for the ones who wish to express themselves while feeling confined." Nic explained. He turned aside and made way around Sophie and walked off towards homeroom.

Of course he didn't say anything about his dislike of uniforms, but he did give Carla his point of view, and she made Nic an exception given his reasoning that he paraphrased from when he spoke to Cana, nothing more, nothing less.

Nic and Sophie walked towards homeroom, where they made their way towards the doorway. From the doorway, they could see the various people inside. They were conversing and talking about irrelevant stuff, and Nic paid no heed to any of that.

Nic's sharp eyes caught a something from below the doorway. A rope. Nic stopped in place before he could trip and put an arm out in front of Sophie, keeping her from going inside.

"Huh? Why the sudden halt Nic?" Sophie asked. Nic turned his head towards here, but gave gesticulation by nudging his head downwards, to which Sophie looked down and saw Nic's warning. She too realized that they were about to walk into a trap. "Got it."

They then proceeded in single-file fashion, with Nic taking the lead and walking over the rope. Sophie followed behind and the two made way into the classroom, where they looked on at the students present.

Sophie crossed her arms. "Honestly, pranks?" She asked. "Why does anybody even do those?"

"If I knew, I would tell you." Nic said. "Antics like those really are troublesome. Someone could get-!"

"Good morning, everyone!" Lucy called out as she happily walked inside the classroom, getting everyone's attention as she absent-mindedly walked right into the rope, making a bucket of water pour down on her head.

Everyone looked on with surprise, a majority of the guys laughed at the prank Lucy walked right into, as to where the girls were left startled. Among them, Sophie and Nic groaned. They were fortunate that Wendy came up with a blue cloth to help with Lucy's wet head.

"Lucy, are you alright?" Wendy asked innocently.

Though still left in shock, Lucy was thankful Wendy was around and politely took the cloth. "Thank you, Wendy." Lucy wiped her head and shoulders quickly and fumed as she turned towards the classroom. "Which one of you did this?!"

Bisca had her hat on as she leaned on a desk, her hand holding Alzack's. "It was probably Natsu." She said.

"Only Natsu would pull such simple pranks such as those." Alzack explained.

Sophie face palmed. "When will Natsu grow up? He does this on a daily basis."

Nic kept his arms folded as he glanced over towards Sophie. "I know just how you feel. I despise those kinds of jokes."

"Agreed."

Lucy had a tick mark on her blonde head as he had fists clenched as she darted right in front of Natsu, who had a clenched fist that was shaking. "Natsu!" Lucy growled in annoyance.

Natsu was shaking all about in frustration. "Look at what you've done! I was planning on getting Gray with that!"

"Huh?!" Lucy looked baffled at Natsu's plan.

"Only an idiot would fall for that!" He shouted, now getting into a comical tussle with Lucy on the ground.

"Why you little-!" Lucy and Natsu were seen comically tussling and pounding in a small dust cloud, shouting at each other while Gray walked in the room, amused by the fuss the two were making.

Gray rolled his eyes. "It's just like you two to get heated up so early just because of a little water." He stated.

In a few seconds, Lucy was seen on top of a struggling Natsu, tick marks surrounding the air around them as she looked at Gray. "What gave you that idea?!"

Natsu flailed his arms on the ground. "You were supposed to fall for that!" The pink-haired prankster retorted at Gray. Gray merely walked away and made way towards his seat.

As Gray was about to grab his chair, Nic and Sophie caught a glimpse of something in Gray's seat, which provoked them to take action.

"Oy. Should we intervene?" Sophie sighed as she asked Nic. Nic nodded in response.

Gray began to sit down. "Like I'd fall for a childish prank like that." He stated, his behind slowly sitting down.

"Childish." Lucy said as she narrowed her eyes as she too saw the object in Gray's chair. All Natsu did was devilishly grin in sure victory, with Gray falling right into his second trap.

Nic walked over. "Gray! Don't move!" He shouted.

Gray glanced over towards Nic, stopping in place just before his behind could sit down. "Heh? Why?"

Nic walked on over, with Sophie following in accompaniment, and stood in front of Gray's seat. "Get back up." He calmly said, in which Gray responded to by doing as Nic told and got out of his seat. Natsu watched in comical shock as his second prank was found out and foiled by Nic. Gray stepped away from his seat and looked with surprise as there was a burning rock on his seat. It would've sizzled his behind if it weren't for Nic.

Everyone looked at the foiled prank Nic warned Gray about. "A burning rock in a chair?" Bisca exclaimed, hands close to her mouth.

"That would've been really harsh!" Alzack exclaimed.

Elfman clenched fists. "That's so unmanly!"

Nic sighed in annoyance and turned towards Sophie. "Sophie, could you go to the restroom and get wet paper towels please?" He asked. Sophie nodded and she bolted out of the classroom towards the nearest girl's restroom, where she retrieved as many paper towels and dampened them with water.

"Whoa. Thanks man." Gray said, grateful Nic save his behind, literally.

Natsu bolted in front of Nic and Gray, having fists and tick marks. "No fair! Gray was supposed to fall for that too!"

Nic narrowed his eyes. "What's unfair is that you tried pulling pranks, much to everyone's dismay Natsu!" He retorted, his tone making Natsu uneasy. "Your antics are annoying, and you need to refrain from doing anymore, understand?"

"Who made you the boss of-?!" Before Natsu could retort, Nic whacked Natsu in the head with a fist, leaving a sizzling bump on Natsu's head as he was twitching on the floor. Everyone saw with some hints of fear at Nic's fluctuation in tolerance. In a way, he reminded them of the student council president.

"Geez. Calm and negotiable one moment, but painful the next?" Alzack said with a sweatdrop.

"R-Remind me to stay on his good side." Lucy whispered to Wendy.

Though everyone was startled, they did agree with Nic when Natsu should stop. Personally, they were somewhat satisfied when Nic came about. Throughout the few days he's been here, Nic has been a helping hand when people needed it. When someone spilled paint on themselves, a majority of people looked in shock and a few laughed, but Nic was the only sympathetic individual and helped in getting wet paper towels, taking the matter seriously and helping with getting them to the office to address the mess and assist in another uniform until said uniform with paint was cleaned up.

Aside from a few similar messes Nic helped clean up, he got good grades and was a fine helper when people need it. If someone needed help beside him, he'd simplify what the teacher said, so even simpletons like Natsu would understand. There really wasn't anything wrong with him, he's a supportive person. Everyone respected him and made sure to stay on his good side, because from that display, he could get ticked off with harsh antics.

As Natsu groaned and rubbed his head, Sophie rushed back in and had a plethora of paper towel drenched by cold water. Sophie covered the burning rock in said cold paper towels and everyone heard the rock sizzle out, signaling it being cooled down. Sophie then picked up the rock wrapped in paper towel and put it into the trash bin.

Natsu was back to reality and Gray emanated an icy aura while Natsu emanated a fiery aura, both butting heads. "That could've hurt my behind!" Gray sneered.

"That was the point! You wanna go? I'm fired up already!" Natsu exclaimed, more than eager to get into a fight.

Gray reached for his shirt and looked at Natsu with a small shadow over his forehead and glared at Natsu like he was a hazard. "I'll take you on!" Gray's clothes then came off – all of them. He was exposed to the bare skin, appalling Sophie and Nic as they face palmed and Sophie turned away.

"Bemet?! Why?!" Sophie scowled as she looked away.

Lucy looked with horror as Gray was naked and was facing Natsu, who gestured for Gray to fight. "Don't take all of your clothes off!" Wendy shrieked as she looked away in embarrassment as Gray realized he wasn't decent.

Before anything drastic would come about, a redhead with glasses appeared at the doorway. Unlike the present students, she had a red uniform, signifying her status. The red uniform made her stand out, as did her hair.

"That's enough!" She announced, adjusting her glasses. "Class is about to start! Everyone to your seats!"

As though by magic, Gray's clothes were seen back on his body and he and Natsu were shaking in the knees and having arms over the other's shoulder, as though they were as tight as family. They both feared Erza greatly.

"Aye!" They squealed in unison.

Nic knew full-well that even the most juvenile delinquents wouldn't dare ignore Erza, the student council president. When Nic first met her a few days back, he saw her red hair, which stood out from everyone else, and her red uniform complemented her long, flowing hair that cascaded down her back. Nic never met anyone like Erza before, in terms of appearance that is. He's seen many strict and stoic people in the past in his country where he traveled, but Erza's level of stoic seemed mild, which he admired.

Nic did take note how she was very serious in work, yet didn't converse with her. There was that first day when Nic was introduced to the class, and the teacher assigned his seat right next to Erza's.

After the teacher told Nic where to sit, Nic quietly, yet firmly, made way towards his eat, right next to Erza. He only glanced for a few seconds at Erza, seeing her brown eyes looking briefly at Nic.

Nic still didn't say anything, but as he began to sit down, he quickly grinned at the student council president and then looked down at his desk, with a solemn pencil on it. He looked ahead at the board, where there were some diagrams, and he jotted down notes as class rolled on.

About fifteen minutes in, Nic glanced up back at the clock, which revealed there to be less than an hour left of class before next period. Nic's curiosity about Erza made him push his luck and he slowly glanced back down at Erza, who was paying attention.

He had to admire her hair and her eyes. She was very pretty in his perspective, but didn't think anymore as it would be awkward. As he glanced back at the board, he noticed in the corner of his eye that Erza shot a quick glance at the new student.

Nic froze his glance in place, which was between the space between Erza and the teacher, which was roughly somewhere close to a wall with the open door on it. For a solemn second, he thought he was caught staring at Erza, which wouldn't end well if he did. Still, Nic had to make a choice between looking back at the teacher or Erza. He chose the latter, and he glanced back at her face and looked briefly as she looked at him.

Erza saw Nic looking at her and she saw the curious look deep within his blue eyes. Given that he was the new student, she didn't paid much heed, but something about Nic made him stand out like she did. She did notice how his attire was a purple dress shirt, which was peculiar, but she shoved any distractions out of her head and tried to pay attention.

Before Erza could glance back at the teacher, Nic resorted to putting a small grin on his face. He thought a small grin would suffice for now.

Erza responded by deciding to grin back at Nic, both seeing the small smiles plastered on their faces. As to where some people were groaning, and some were curious, Nic and Erza's facial expressions were mild and placid. They both then turned their attention back up front, paying attention for the rest of the class period and didn't look or grin at the other once after that.

After the bell rang for them to be dismissed, Erza gathered her books and started getting out of her seat as the other students nonchalantly and lazily arose and started exiting. Nic arose out of his seat and looked back at Erza quickly.

As thought by coincidence, Erza glanced back at him, both eyes locked onto the other yet again. The two broke their sudden glances by one of them grinning, said individual being Nic. Erza responded by grinning back at him.

As everyone exited, Nic went for broke. "Hi."

Erza heard him greet and she kept her grin on her face. "Hi." She responded back. She paused briefly as students passed her. "Are you the new student, correct?"

Nic nodded.

"Then it's a pleasure to have you here at Fairy Academy." Erza then slowly started making way from her desk, but still had her glance at Nic from the corner of her eye.

Nic kept his brief grin. "Thank you." Nic then finally broke away from their eyes fixed on the other and they both walked out of the classroom, heading opposite directions.

Even though they didn't see it, they still had small grins on their faces as they walked off, their grins soon to fade in the next few minutes when their next class commenced.

Nic sat in his seat, with Sophie behind him. Erza eventually made way to her seat, sitting down and getting out her notes. Nic tried his best not to think of his first impression from a few days ago, as he personally thought it was awkward. But he didn't realize in Erza's perspective that his first impression was okay. Like Nic, she didn't interact at all after that first day, so the two just went about their respective business.

In a few minutes, the teacher opened the door and made way inside. For some odd reason that nobody could ever hope to understand, the teacher was a small cat. A walking, talking, blue cat. The feline was wearing a suit as he made way towards his platform.

"Aye! Let's begin!" Happy announced, though he was behind the platform, so nobody could see him.

'I can't even see him!' Lucy thought as she gawked at the realization.

Happy struggled as he repeatedly jumped up to the top of the platform due to his small height, and he attempted a few times before he gave up and gawked at the platform above him as he could not reach it. He was found seconds later in the corner sulking out of self-pity.

"He's sulking." Lucy said.

"Don't give up mister Happy!" Wendy encouraged.

A woman walked out of her seat with a smile as she made way towards the sulking cat. "Oh my. Looks like someone needs help." The woman, revealed to be the kind-natured Mira, picked up Happy and placed him on his platform. "Please let me know when you need any assistance."

Happy felt grateful for Mira's assistance and complied. "Aye!" He then turned around sheepishly. "I wish I could use magic and had wings." He admitted.

Mira chuckled. "If you did, you would be able to get up to the platform no problem, right?"

Lucy had her head resting on her hand as she had her elbow on the desk. 'Mira's a kind role-model to follow…although when I said that much a few days ago…'

A few days back, Elfman gave a dark glare as Lucy was pushing away as she felt awkward with Elfman having his arm around her. "Anyone who dares to date my sister has to be a better man than me!" He announced, his spiky white head flaring.

"It's…not like that. Besides, I'm not a man either." Lucy explained, trying to find her way out of Elfman's menacing hold.

Happy grabbed his long stick he used for pointing and held it up. "Stand up! Bow! Aye, sir!"

Everyone did as told and they stood up. "Aye, sir!" They exclaimed.

Class proceeded after that, and Nic and everyone took notes as Happy explained his lessons, which were 'The Classification of Fish', 'The History of Fish', and 'How to make Fish Taste Good'. Nic didn't argue, though it did seem rather fishy. Still, Nic made it once again without glancing over at Erza or saying "Hi" to her.

The bell rang, and everyone went off to their next class. Sophie and Nic both got up and made way out of the classroom, where they started making way towards art class. Nic did slow his pace down as he turned from exiting to catch a small fragment of red turning in the other direction. He couldn't help it for some reason. He figured it was the wrong thing to do, and his conscience slowly complied and he physically shook his head and pressed on.

Later…

In art class, Nic was always precise in his art, as he acquired drawing and overall art skills along his journey in his country. He only spent so little time from where he came from, but in Fairy Academy, he was free to explore as he had more time than he did from before.

Scorpio was the current teacher for the art department. He enjoyed it because he thought variety in art was 'wicked' and he wanted students to realize just how 'wicked' art can be. He had great appreciation for the students who really try in their art, and among them, Sophie and Nic both stood out. Despite the few days Nic's been around, his art was phenomenal.

Cana had a smock on, as did everyone else, and they are required to. With smocks, Nic had no trouble with. Uniforms are completely different from smocks in his perspective, and he painted away.

Cana looked nonchalant as she was painting a bottle of booze, much to Scorpio's questioning, but thought the idea as wicked as Cana thought of something…unique. Sophie expertly drew a simple tree with little apples on it. The detail she put on it was fairly complex, but she managed.

In the middle of the two, Nic had his earbuds in at a low volume as he listened to his metal. This was the only time during school, besides lunch, that Nic could listen to his earbuds. He looked appeased as he painted a waterfall in an autumn setting. Different colored leaves took up the foreground, painting the waterfall behind, and that left the cliffs and trees behind as background.

Sophie looked over as she was impressed. "Wow Nic, you're really good with this stuff!"

Nic was able to hear what Sophie said and grinned. "Thanks." He said, and proceeded with applying some more red on the leaves in front. Nic glanced over at her painting. "Yours is pretty good as well."

Sophie turned back to her painting with pride. "Well, I do have that photographic memory you know." She bragged with pride.

"You guys sure are nature lovers." Cana said, idly applying slow brush strokes in her art. She slowly applied black in the background to make the brown booze bottle stand out.

Nic turned towards Cana. "Well I do get around. I've traveled and been to places before I came here." He explained, as the growling and screaming in his music filled his ears at a minimal level.

Sophie turned towards Nic. "Why do you listen to that stuff? Doesn't that give you headaches?"

Nic blinked and he looked back at Sophie. He looked blank as he answered. "Not really. I makes me pump more blood when I exercise; and besides, it helps filters out the anger and frustration for me." He explained.

"Oh." Sophie said. "Okay, I guess that makes sense…" She then proceeded to her own painting, adding some faint yellow among the leaves and apples to give contrast to the various green on her painting.

A few minutes passed by before the small silence was erased, with Cana looking over towards Nic, seeing how he painted with such sharp precision. It was as if you could actually touch the leaves he painted. Cana had to admire her friend's creativity, but she also raised a brow and smirked.

"Hey Nic." The brunette asked, making Nic pay attention to her. "Are you interested in anyone?"

Immediately, Nic froze, his brush freezing just mere inches away from the nearly finished canvas. He blinked tremendously when Cana asked that question, as he was caught off guard.

Sophie heard this and she felt interested. "Now that you mention it Cana, I think he is taking a small notice of someone." She teased, making Nic get light pink in the cheeks. "Yup, and I think I know who."

Nic tried to drown them out by increasing the volume a bit more on his phone, to the point of barely hearing them, He felt so awkward and embarrassed with Cana and Sophie catching on that quickly. "I defy your accusations!" He testified.

Cana ignored her flustered friend's order and she chuckled with a grin, as she flashed a card with Nic (The Fairy Contender)'s image. "Oh don't play dumb with us. My cards tell me that you've taken quite an appeal to someone, and you're at a mere standstill."

Nic gulped as Cana was right, making him worry.

Sophie smirked. "Hmmmm, I wonder who that person is who Nic already admires?" She asked sarcastically. "Just who might it be? Maybe a certain girl, maybe brown eyes, perhaps red…"

"Silence your tongue!" Nic demanded, pointing his brush at Sophie, his face full of red, his temperature escalating.

Cana looked over Nic's shoulder. "Looks like she's gotcha." She teased, making both girls giggle at Nic's embarrassing cover up.

"Uhhh…" Nic sighed and sulked in defeat as the girls finished giggling. "Fine, I admired how Erza is able to handle situations and her appearance too, okay?" He spat out. "You happy?"

Cana pat a clean hand on his back. "N'aw cheer up champ! We're just yanking your chains. Erza is serious, but she can be nice when she wants to be."

"You just need to get better acquainted with her is all." Sophie added. "If I remember correctly, and I do, you and Erza are much alike. You're both highly mature, you hate jokers, and you both seem to address matters seriously." She listed. "Don't worry, you'll learn more about her eventually, I'm sure you'll have a chance to befriend her soon enough."

Nic remained contemplative as his metal clogged his thoughts, and he fiddled with his paintbrush about and looked back at the calm and exotic painting he made. Perhaps he was overreacting a bit. He should try and talk to Erza when the time's convenient. It wouldn't hurt to try at least. He had Cana and Sophie for support after all.

"Yeah. Thanks." Nic said, damping his brush into some brown paint for the parts where the light didn't touch the trees. He applied it to calm picture he painted, filtering out his worries with pleasant scenery to behold.

You see what kinds of changes I've made compared to The Fairy Contender? I had to make them reasonable to say the least, and you saw the little alterations I've made from the actual OVA 2.

Like I said, this might be at least five chapters, and the length of the chapters in this story will be half as long.

Please Favorite, Follow, & Review this story and/or chapter if you guys like the variety of twists I made, the plot in general, and are appreciating and hoping for more updates.
