A New Life
I inhaled the academy yard air deeply. I smiled as I took in the sight of my new life. A courtyard the size of two football fields had gently swaying gardens. Large evergreens offered long strand of shade from the rising sun. a fountain kept the air in the center of the courtyard cool in the later hours. I snuggled in my coat, pulling it closer to cut off the breeze that threatened to freeze me.
I exhaled as I walked through the iron gates. The moment I did, the black, sharp thorns surrounding the yard severed the thread of my old life. For a while, I just stood there, relishing the moment.
"This is my new life. No more boring book lessons for me! I promised myself and Father that I will get here. This…this is my time…this is my time to-"
"HEY! YOU THERE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" the voice snapped me out of my reverie. I turned a guilty face to look at a boy my age walking towards me. His emerald hair was sticking out in odd angles, as if he had just rolled out of bed. His brown eyes, however, were bright and alert. I held my breath as I recognized the uniform he was wearing:
He had a short-sleeved black polo with gray outlines and red tie. An unzipped brown school jacket with a fluffy white collar hung onto his shoulders loosely by his left hand. I noticed how on the left chest part of the jacket had the school symbol and mascot: an Eevee with a Shadow Ball ready to fire. The boy's right hand had snuck into the right pocket of his dress white pants. His pants had three grey stripes near the end of the left leg. I tilted my head at the loose belt he hung diagonal across his pants. Was that a fashion statement here?
"Hey, new girl," his right head shot out and flicked my forehead. I gave a small cry of surprise, rubbing the sore spot. I was sure that it was getting red now. "What are you doing here?" he repeated. I drew myself up but still didn't match his height. How tall was he? 5' 8"? (I'm 5' 4" for those readers who are wondering.)
"I'm applying for Eevee Burst Warrior Academy," I exclaimed proudly. His eyes widened.
"Oh! You're the new student in my class! What luck running into the new kid!" he laughed. I smiled. Despite the flick to the forehead, he seemed like a really nice guy. He held out his hand, "I'm Chao Ngo, a student here. And your name?"
I took his hand and shook it, "I'm Akiko Meishi. It's nice to meet you." I glanced at his hair. "So…um…I don't mean to be rude, but…your hair…it's not natural, is it?"
He smiled, "Oh, so polite! Why aren't the other girls this polite?" He mocked-sighed. I giggled at that. His smile returned soon after, "No, it's not. I dyed it green because I wanted to be a bit different. Some people have brown hair and green eyes. Now I have green hair and brown eyes. Nice, huh?
I nodded, still fascinated with the color. He grinned, "Want to walk to school together?"
I smiled, "Sure. Why not?"
…
I shrunk deeper into my coat as I felt everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY'S, eyes on me. Chao laughed at my embarrassment.
"Ah, poor Akiko. Embarrassed to death…"
"I'm just not used to all this attention…" I muttered as we continued walking down the halls. The academy on the inside was even more impressive than on the outside. The halls were lined with big windows that enabled the students to look outside to the courtyard. The floor was lined with a soft velvet carpet. Already I felt some electricity building up in my boots. The walls were lined with portraits of famous Pokemon Burst Warriors in action. Chao had to hurry me along when I was gaping at a portrait of Ryouga about to release a Thunderbolt in his Zekrom Burst. The ceilings were lined with mini chandeliers, some looking suspiciously like the Pokémon, Chandelure. Some potted plants added some greenery to the hallway. A student bent down to sniff at one of them. She suddenly squealed in surprise as a Bellossom popped out of the pot. It suddenly scurried to another pot and hopped in. The Cherrim already occupying that pot floated out and floated into the one the Bellossom was originally in. The student just shook her head, smiling, as she continued to walk down the hallway. I giggled at that scene as Chao smiled.
Some of the students stood in same groups chatting with each other while others rushed down the room. A few called out a greeting to Chao, who waved back.
"Wow, a lot of people know you," I surmised. He just grinned at me.
"Eh…you can say I have a reputation…"
I tilted my head at that, "For what?" He shrugged.
"Nothing much. Here's the office," he stopped in front of a door with gold engravings of the word office. I looked at it for a moment. Then I felt Chao push me towards it, laughing.
"Go on! The principal's not going to eat you!" The bell suddenly rang and I felt the push disappear. "Whoops, got to go. Two minute bell," Chao said. "See you after school?" he back-walked. I nodded.
"Sure. Better get to class!"
He grinned at me before turning and sprinting down the hallway. I watched his disappearing figure for a while before opening the door to the office. The lady at the desk looked up from her computer as I walked in. Her hair was up in a bun, and her glasses hung from her neck by a chain. She smiled at me as I approached her desk.
"You're Akiko, am I correct?" she asked. I swallowed and nodded.
"Yes," my voice came out in a whisper. "I'll like to apply here please."
The woman, Anne Harwood from her nametag, handed me some papers. I stopped her by pulling out a yellow envelope.
"I've finished all the paperwork at home, Mrs. Harwood. I just need my I.D. card and schedule."
Her smile widened. "I wish more students could be as accomplished as you, Miss Meishi," she sighed as she took the envelope. She scanned a paper into her computer, typed for a few moments, and clicked her mouse. The printing machine came to life, whirling and working. When Mrs. Harwood rolled her chair over to the printer, a blue paper faced-down was at the finishing line. She took it, rolled back to the front, and handed it to me. I looked at my schedule for a brief moment.
"You only have one class here. It's your teacher's choice whether to permit his or her class to another teacher for another subject. You can take your I.D. photo after school. Welcome to the Eevee Burst Warrior Academy, Miss Meishi."
I smiled and nodded to her, "Thank you."
…
The whole class looked to the door as I creaked it open. The teacher looked at me then at his clipboard.
"Miss…Akiko Meishi, the new student. Welcome to my classroom at the EBWA. I'm Shukin Sensei, your homeroom teacher. Why don't you come in and introduce yourself?" he asked. I cautiously walked in.
All around, I heard the students whispering:
"A new student?"
"Nice."
"Think she's nice?"
"She's H-O-T!"
"Shut up!"
When I reached the front, I finally got the courage to look at the class. They stared back and I felt like a Pokémon being examined by scientists. I finally found my voice, which thankfully wasn't quiet or cracked:
"Hi, I'm Akiko Meishi. I recently transferred from a normal school for Pokemon Trainers to this academy. I hope that I can meet everyone and be friends with all of you," I tucked a loose strain of ebony hair behind my ear.
"Yeah, Akiko!" Chao clapped his hands. Some of the students laughed as my face turned even redder than a Magikarp.
"Enough of that, Mr. Ngo. Akiko, you may take that empty seat right of Mr. Genji. Mr. Genji, raise your hand so Miss Meishi knows where you are."
I heard a boy sigh as the movement of a raised hand caught my eye. I turned to see a boy sitting near the window. He was wearing his brown jacket zipped up, unlike Chao. His head was resting in his right hand as he held up his left hand. His blue-highlighted black hair partly covered his dark, almost black eyes. They were staring out the window with a bored expression.
I hesitantly moved to the chair and sat down. The boy placed his left hand near his right elbow, still not acknowledging my presence. I just shrugged at that.
"Hey," I heard a voice from my other side. I turned to see a girl with yellow pigtails in corkscrews. She smiled at me. "I'm Miku Walker. It's nice to meet you, Akiko."
I returned her smile, "Nice to meet you, Miku." I glanced back at boy looking out the window. "Who's that? Something Genji?"
Miku laughed lightly, "That's Haru Genji, the best Burst Warrior in the academy. Don't mind him. He's really cold to other people."
"We're going to the gym to start our Burst Battles," Shukin Sensei announced, drawing my attention to him. "Everyone, file out and go to the gym." He picked up his books and walked out the door. The students pushed in their seats, chatting with each other as they followed our teacher. As I picked up my backpack, Chao strolled over to Miku and me. He was clapping his hands slowly and grinning.
"Simply amazing, Akiko," he laughed. I blushed.
"Shut up, Chao. If I remember correctly, you embarrassed yourself when you first came here," Miku smirked.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault that that Shinx was there sleeping," Chao sweatdropped. "Never liked Electric-type Pokemon in the first place…"
"And what's wrong with Electric-types?" Haru stood up, glaring at us. "They only have one weakness and already one Pokemon and its evolutions have developed into not being affected by Ground moves." He picked up his book and walked out of the room. I stared after him. Then I looked at my new friends.
"What's with him?"
Chao shrugged, grinning, "Haru likes Electric Pokemon. The funny thing is, we've never seen him use an Electric-type before."
"Really? That's seems…odd…" I said as I started walking out. Miku walked behind me, cheerfully texting someone.
"Yup, what he uses are Castform and Absol in battles. He's really good at countering his Pokemon's weaknesses," she slipped her phone into her pocket and looked at me. "What Pokemon do you use?"
I looked at her quizzically, "Can't you use three Burst Hearts?"
Chao nodded, "Yeah. Haru has another Burst Heart, but he won't let anyone see what Pokemon is inside. He's never used it before."
"Oh…is this the gym?" I asked, pointing to two broad doors. Chao nodded. He stepped up to the door and bowed like he was some kind of a butler.
"I give you…the EBWA gym!" he declared, pulling the doors open. I gasped as I slowly stepped into the room.
It was a great, shiny room. The school's mascot was painted onto the opposite wall. There were individual squares, presumably for the battles. There were also comfortable-looking benches for on-lookers to watch the battle. My friends and I hurried over to where Shukin Sensei was assembling the students. He looked at us until we joined his mass of eager kids.
"How kind of you three to join us," he smiled. He spread his gaze across his class. "Now…we'll follow our original schedule: single Burst Battles until class is over. Who wants to go first?" he looked straight at me. "Akiko? Would you like to be the first one up?"
I nodded eagerly. This is it!
Shukin Sensei swept his arms, gesturing to the class, "You may pick whoever you want." I followed the arm, examining each student. Most looked confident enough, but only one student stuck out particularly in my mind.
"Haru? Want to battle me?" I asked, tossing my Burst Heart in the air. The boy just looked at me. Then he shrugged.
"If you're not good enough the first time, you won't be the second time," he muttered, taking out his own Burst Heart. I smiled as we both took our spots. At the corner of my eye, the students began to settle themselves down on the benches. Sensei Shukin took his place at the edge of the boundary.
"You can do it, Akiko!" Chao called.
"Shut up, you're embarrassing her!" Miku laughed. I looked over to them and waved.
"Contestants, Burst!" Shukin Sensei shouted. I placed my Burst Heart on my glove. Already I felt the energy course through my body as a blindingly white light surrounded me. I felt my hair grow longer and wavier. My clothes morphed into my body to create a soft outer coat of fur. On my neck were two glass-like bands. Similar bands were on my wrists. My forelimbs had wing-like appendages, enabling me to fly. On my chest was a feathered feature with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. More feathers spread from my thighs. My hands and feet had four, sharp claws. My tail represented an electric turbine and had ribbon-like extensions surrounded by two large bands. My coloration was pure white.
I heard many of the students gasp as I open my eyes. I blushed slightly when I saw Chao gapping at me. I looked over to Shukin Sensei and saw how surprised he was as well. His glasses had dropped slightly over his nose and his mouth was hanging.
"Well, well, well…the legendary Reshiram," I heard Haru snicker. "How nice…"
I looked over to see a shocking sight. He was shaded in dark gray with certain darker parts. Haru's head sported a plume tipped with a light-blue coloration. He had black, stud-like feature at the base of his neck and armor padding on his shoulders. His wings spread out majestically behind him, gently flapping the air. His arms extenuate into splayed, webbed-like formations and his hands had three claws. His body was covered in light blue striations. He also had three-clawed feet and spiked heels. His conical and spiked tail represented an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the outside. I took a step back in surprise.
"You're…" I couldn't form the word in my mouth. He smirked at me with his red eyes as his hand began to crackle with electricity.
"The legendary Zekrom. Surprise?" he spread out his hands. Lightning traveled between them, crackling and sizzling. "I think I mentioned that Electric-types only have one weakness. A pity that you will be affected by my shock."
I stood with my knees apart. Flames began to lick around my lips, singing but not burning. My tail glowed a red-yellow as I charged up my attack. I smiled, "Well, at least you'll be affected by my burns!" I shot the Blue Flare at him, aiming for his face.
Me: Hey, look at that. Now I can speak with mi characters. Hello…*looks at paper* Akiko, Haru, Chao, and Miku!
Akiko: Hello!
Chao: Yo, Blade!
Miku: Hi, Blade!
Haru: …

Haru: Why should I?
Chao: Le gasp! He speaks!
Haru: How many idiots do we need here?
Akiko: Apparently, at least two…
Me: Exacadedtacally.
Miku: Exaca-what now?
Me: Excadedtacally. You need to learn your ingles!
Haru: That's not English; that's Spanish.
Me: All right then, wise guy. Do the disclaimer in español then!
Haru: Blade no Pokémon propios o lo que sea tiene copyright. Lo único que posee los caracteres que usted nunca ha oído hablar de antes hasta que lea esta historia.
Chao: *cracks up*
Me: …shut up…Anyways, I got this idea from a forum I am currently in. It is called PokePlayers: A Roleplay Forum. You can look up MewBladeXxX and it should be on her profile. Hi, MewBladeXxX if you're reading this! I hope you liked it!
Akiko: What...? ...you're advertising for your friend's forum?
Me: Yes, I'm shamelessly advertising for my friend's forum. Hope you all liked mi cuento!
Miku: And don't forget to submit OCs if you feel like it!
Chao: So Blade can coughtorturethemcough.
Me: I heard that.
Haru: It's not that hard to hear, Blade. He deliberately coughed loudly to get our attention. You'll have to be as deaf as a corpse not to hear his underlining statement.
Me: For a cold guy in my story, you sure are annoying.
Haru: *shrugs* I try.
