"Tim! Come on, it's your first day of school, get up!" My mom, a female lucario barked up the stairs. "I'm getting up…" I muttered, and I got ready for the day.
My dad, however, was taking ages in the bathroom. "Dad, hurry up, I have to get ready!" I practically yelled, while he took a shower or whatever he was doing in there. "I'll take my damn time, you impatient riolu" I heard him mumble through the door. A few minutes later, my dad, who was a male floatzel by the way, unlocked the door and stumbled into the hallway. I quickly slid past him and locked the door behind me, and I started brushing my teeth.
"Tim hurry up, you're gonna be late for your first day of school!" I heard my mom call up, and I grabbed my bag and raced out the door, but not before yelling "Cya guys in a few months!" However, I apparently accidentally got the wrong bag…
So after going inside and getting the right bag, I found my way to the bus stop, where I managed to catch the bus.
Now… I'm not the most social person. In fact, I'm probably the loneliest person in the school. But I manage.
Anyways, I found a vacant seat in the bus, and slumped down onto it. When the bus started moving again, everyone was talking with each other about how they hoped they would be roommates, or which teacher they hoped to have.
Personally, I hoped that the school manages to get me my own room, just like last year.
And… About that whole 'not being social' thing, it does have a lot of drawbacks, like being picked on by a lot of people.
"Hey, faggot." I heard someone behind me say. I sighed. What's with everyone calling people 'faggot' all the time? I ignored him and continued to stare out the window.
"Hey, are you listening, you fucking punk?!" The bully, a kadabra, continued to offend me, which was slowly getting on my nerves. And, him being a psychic type didn't help either, they had a type advantage.
But still, after a while, I just snapped. "WOULD YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!?" I yelled, and everyone stared at me, shocked. I shrunk into my seat, I hated being the center of attention.
But at least the kadabra finally shut up. That means it's worth it, right?
Finally, the bus arrived at the school. Everyone met with their friends who lived elsewhere, before heading into the gym. I ignored everyone and just walked straight inside, and found the place with the least people. The head teacher was talking about stuff, I wasn't paying much attention, but still.
"Now, before we let you go and get your room numbers, how about we have a little sparring match between two of our students?"
Ugh. They did this every year, they just pick two random students, (Usually the ones who are on the fighting team) and then they have to have a battle on the stage. In front of everyone.
I yawned and sat back, wondering who they would be this year.
"Alright, if you get picked, then you can decline and pick a different pokemon instead." This was new to me. I guess they realized that not everyone wants to be up on the stage.
"The first one will be…" He picked up a piece of paper. "Colin the Kadabra" He ran up on the stage with a smug smile on his face. I rolled my eyes. It was obvious that he would want to compete, so the head teacher continued. "The second one will be…"
He picked up the paper, and his eyes widened. He spoke to the teacher next to him and started discussing something. Yet another way to delay the battle. Wonderful.
Eventually, he continued to read out the next name.
"Tim the riolu…"
