Hi guys (and girls), I worked with The Jay Chronicles to come up with this story, I hope you like it. Read, review, and i'm open to any new ideas.
Chapter 1
"I have to go there," I roared, my parents had just told me I had to go to the school with the worst battle program in the whole region. Battling is the one thing I'm good at, I was even planning on entering the poke-tournament, but when I got kicked out of that last school suddenly no one wanted to accept me. Unfortunately my parents made a good point, "You almost killed those boys." Said my mom, But honestly what was I supposed to do, "they were picking on that girl, I told them to stop and they went to far."
My mom, an ampharos, started to yell something then stopped and sat down, "we have been trying to help you but you need to stop getting in fights. To get away from what happened, not replay it." My dad came over to me and said in the deep voice of a garchomp, "your mother and I think this will be good for you." I looked at him, growled, and stomped off to my room, slamming the door with my tail. I'm cinthro, a luxray, I've had a lot of bad things happen in my life and battling is the one thing that takes my mind off those things. I thought for awhile then went to bed, not being able to stand being conscious.
My mother woke me up the next morning, and told me I had to pack for school, they still hadn't changed their minds. I quickly changed into some brown cargo pants and a black tee shirt. I really didn't have very much to pack, a few pairs of camouflage cargo pants, and some black tee shirts, then I went over to my desk and looked through what was there. In the end I decided on one thing from it, it was a picture I had of my old girlfriend, Sara, a froslass. Unfortunately she was the link to one of the worst things that ever happened to me, so bringing her picture also brought sadness.
We had met 2 years ago and soon after that I fell deeply in love with her, and her with me. She had always been some what depressed but I helped her cope with it. One day a few bullies were picking on her, and I fought with them, and almost killed them. I had gotten kicked out of the school for that and before I had a chance to talk with her... she committed suicide. I was devastated, I almost overdosed the next day, but my parents caught me. Since that day, if someone is getting bullied or hurt by someone else, it flips this switch inside me, and every single time I almost kill the person who did it.
After I put her picture in the bag I was ready to leave, to another school, where I couldn't even do the thing I loved... Battle.
The drive to the school was pretty boring, it also seemed to take forever. When we got there I discovered that it didn't look that bad, large cast-iron gates marked the entrance, and there was and elegant magicarp fountain in the center of the driveway. My parents dropped me off at the entrance where I was met by a dragonair, "hello, my name is principal sapphire, please follow me." When we got to her office I sat down and waited for a lecture, surprisingly I didn't get one.
"Now I am fully aware of your, situation. Your parents explained everything to me and as long as you try and keep out of trouble you should do fine. Now, as for the reason you are here, to continue your scholarship you must win the school battle tournament and continue to the city poke-battle." This shocked me "I was told..."I decided it would not be a good idea to tell her I wasn't supposed to be battling "you didn't have a battle program." She looked at me, then continued "it was just recently implemented, we have brought in many skilled battlers from around the region, all with the same premise you were given. They also all have some of the same... required implementations, as you."
Ok, that hurt "Principal sapphire, I know I have a problem, you don't have to try not to be nice." This seemed to surprise her but she continued none the less "very well, here is your schedule and room key, you will be given full access to the gym and other training facilities." Now that was a problem, "I would like to be able to train alone," I seemed to be a constant surprise to this dragonair, I liked that "very well, I will allow you access to the forest behind the school, we own it so do not worry about breaking things." I smiled, took my schedule and key card and left without another word.
The walk to my room wasn't very eventful seeing as afternoon classes were still going on. I walked into my room and started looking around, it was small compared to other dorms I've been in but it only had one bed so I assumed that I didn't have a roommate. I liked that, being alone was always my preference. The room also had a large living room, a desk with a laptop, a flat screen TV, and an x-box 360. So overall it was pretty good, not that I would use any of it. I would have spend most of my free time training now that I was going to be able to battle again.
I set my bag down and left for the forest, it was in the back of the school so it took me awhile to figure out how to get there. Once I did I was happy to see that it was much larger then I had expected. It would be full of wild Pokémon to spar against, it was also mostly made of ironwood trees witch would be very hard to break. I found a large clearing in the forest, and decided to train there. I started simply by practicing a multi-target volt tackle. A move I had mastered a long time ago, I mostly used it for taking out groups of weak enemies.
After that I decided to try a different method, I would focus on one tree at a time and see how long it took me to make it fall, I had to make a mental note to get a stopwatch from the office. In an half-hour I had felled four trees and I decided to start breaking them into planks. My father was a carpenter and he had taught me to work with wood. I had a method for separating the lumber, I would hit it with small and concentrated bursts to char it slightly and make it easier to break. Then I just ripped it apart.
I was quite strong for my age, so it only took me about another hour to separate the four trees. It was more of busying work but I had to do it, because after that I started the real work. The whole idea for this was to make training dummies. It took me all night but I finally finished. I had stuffed them with leaves and lined them with bark so they would be extremely durable. The trees made 2 dummies each so I had 8 in total witch I used to line the clearing. As I walked back to school an about 6:00am, I used the electricity in my paws to leave a path of burned paw prints as a trail. When I got back to school I went straight to bed, seeing as you don't see very many people at 6:15 in the morning, especially on a school day.
I woke up about an hour later, still tired from last night I thought about just skipping school, but decided against it. I didn't bother changing, I just grabbed my schedule and left. For the first time there were people in the hallways, and they all seemed interested in me. I had never liked very attention so going to a new school was a nightmare, luckily I had developed a strategy by now. I roared to get their attention and announced "Next person to start whispering about me gets sent through a wall." Luckily there were smart people in this school so most stayed silent.
Then three Pokémon walked up to me, I could tell they were the tough guys of the school, they were usually were. It was gurdurr in the front, flanked by askarmory and a seviper. "You think your tough, do you," Said the gurdurr, he leaned over to his friend and started whispering, I was ready for this. I quickly cast protect while charging a hyper beam, by the time he had seen what I was doing I shot the hyper beam slamming him in the chest and through the side wall. His friends both tried to hit me,the Skarmory with steel wing and the seviper with poison tail.
Both were blocked by protect, and I then used volt tackle to throw both of them through the hole their friend had made. I landed and simply started walking to my poke-history class. People left me alone then and I was able to sit through the first two periods without being noticed. However when I got to battle class that changed. The teacher announced that we would be doing group battles and we should find a partner. No one wanted to partner with me, so I decided I would battle alone.
I started to regret it the moment I found out who my partners were, the three boys from earlier. As we all got ready to start I heard the gurdurr saying "you ready to die kid," and the way he said it made me feel like I was. But instead I said "you talking to yourself again." In my opinion it is always easier fighting people when they're mad, and that did the trick. He signaled his head and skarmory and seviper charged at me, I dove out of the way and hit them both with Electro ball, I turned just I'm time to see gurdurr swing and bat me into a wall.
I hit hard and pain shot through my body, I struggled to get up as he came in for another swing. I turned my head and used x-ray vision to see that I was at the wall next to the soccer field. With that information I was quickly able to think of a plan, as he swung for me I rolled out of the way so he smashed open the wall. The hole, to my relief, was big enough to jump through, so I did. Once I was outside I knew I would be able to turn things around.
As he clambered out the hole I was given enough time to charge and use thunder, knocking him down to one knee. I let him get up and then to my surprise he used high jump kick to sail over my head. He landed right behind me and as I was turning around he was able to hit me again. I managed to take the hit and complete my spin, as he went for a third strike I used thunder fang and bit his neck. I grabbed onto his body as he staggered back, I then let go and hit him in the groin with iron tail, sending him flying.
As I turned back around my iron tail hit seviper as well and I cursed, I had forgotten about them. Then I thought for a moment and remembered about skarmory, just as I did so I was sent through the hole in the wall with steel wing. I landed on my feet but collapsed, I tried to get up but they were to fast, getting to me first and hitting me with constant attacks. As I got close to blacking out I thought of Sara, maybe I would finally get to see her, but with that thought came a new feeling I had never felt before. It was like love except stronger, I could feel its power inside me, and it was getting bigger and bigger until, finally it came. It came, and as I felt skarmory and seviper stop hitting me and I looked up, I saw what I had done.
Everyone in the room had feinted, and I had done it.
So what will happen to him now, will he run or will he stay and face what he did, stay tuned to find out, as always review and PM. Tell me if you liked it, if you didn't, and what should change.
