Times at Pokemon Academy

Ok, so I also like CommonerShipping, so I'll probably write another fic with CommenerShippy hints. I don't like writing stories with three-way relationships like ScarfShipping, so I'm just gonna write another one, if I have time that is XD

Disclaimer I only gonna say this once and I'm not going to repeat in other chapters, so...Pokemon, Berlitz/Platinum, Pearl and Dia/Diamond don't belong to me, for pete's sake! I ONLY own the story.

Notes First of, from what I heard, the third game's gonna be Platinum, so I named Berlitz Platinum here. But since her family name is more known, I use Berlitz more here. Yeah, and this happens when Pearl and Diamond already know she's rich, and they're all like, 14 now.

In a room of a huge mansion in Sandgem, a young girl sigh sadly as she fixed her hair up in front of a mirror. This girl is Platinum Berlitz, descendant of the prestigious Berlitz family. Hardly anyone knows her first name, though, and she's always called Lady Berlitz.

"Lady Berlitz, time to leave!" An old man yelled out from down.

She sigh and took a deep breath before yelling "Coming!" to her butler, then turn back to the mirror, still with a sad look on.

You all may be wondering why she's sad, and where's she's going. Well, I, as the narrator, will tell you why. Now, let's go back a few days, shall we? Huh? What? No?! You don't wanna go back in time? I'm the narrator so obey me! We're ONLY going a FEW little days back, for pete's sake! Snap, I broke the fourth wall... If you have problems with time travel, fine. Skip the next few tens of lines and feel like you don't know a single thing in this whole entire plot! Yes, this story has a plot, every story has a plot! Jeez! Now, please, stop asking stupid questions and move on with the story already...

--A few days ago--

Berlitz was on her Ponyta's back, ahead of two other boys while walking on a clear path. "Come on. Hurry up, Pearl, Dia!" Berlitz said cheerfully.

Pearl slouch his back with his parrot Pokemon flapping its wings beside him. Feathers slowly fall off as Chatot flapped its wings vigourously. "Easy for you to say...You're on a Pokemon!" He yelled. "On a Pokemon! On a Pokemon!" Chatot imitated its master.

Diamond was eating food, as usual. This time, he was eating a chocolate bar, with chocolate smuttered all around his mouth. "She's grown more opened, huh?" He whispered to Pearl.

Pearl thought about it for a while, and yes, for once, Dia was right. When they started their journey, Berlitz would've said things with not much emotion, but she's more open now and smiles to them more. Over the years, she does that occasionally, though the two boys couldn't figure out if there was a reason or if she just became more open. After all that thinking, Pearl just nodded in agreement.

Berlitz just rolled her eyes when Pearl talked back at her, not paying much attention about what the boys talk about earlier on.

Suddenly, a screeching sound of wheels came from behind them, which caught the three trainers' attention. They turned around and to their horror, a large fancy black car was heading right towards them. However, right before the car hit them, it suddenly stopped.

Berlitz and Pearl sigh in relieve and closed their eyes. They opened their eyes again and stared at the black car. Pearl had a somewhat annoyed look on his face, angry that the whoever person who was driving the crazy car almost hit them. Dai, on the other hand, was staring in mid-air, his face turning white from fear. He looked like he saw a ghost or something, but the others couldn't be bothered.

As expected, Pearl marched towards the car with an incredibly annoyed and angry look. Berlitz just stared at him emotionlessly, followed by blinking her eyes. She then smile a little, for no apparent reason.

"Hey! Come out here! Your car almost hit us!" Pearl yelled angrily, banging on the window of the car.

Suddenly, the door Pearl was banging on opened, and Pearl immediatly stopped banging on it. After a few seconds passed, a tall man in black came out of the car, looking towards Berlitz. Berlitz knew who was he and he smile fade into a slight frown.

"Hey-!" Pearl yelled at the tall man, but the man just shoved him aside.

"Get outta my way, kid." The man pushed Pearl away by putting his large hand on Pearl's face, then simply shove him aside.

The man approached Berlitz while Pearl fell down on his backside. "Ow!" Pearl glared at the man.

All this while, Dia was actually still gazing in mid-air.

Pearl didn't care, nor noticed, and unexpectedly jumped in front of Berlitz, spreading his arms out, as if wanting to protect her.

Berlitz put on an emotionless face, exactly like how she used to when she started traveling with the two boys. Slowly, she lifted her left arm and placed it on Pearl's left arm, as if telling him it's alright.

Pearl, getting the message, dropped his hands down, still glaring at the man intensively.

"What is it?" Berlitz shift her gaze from Pearl to the man.

"Master Berlitz wants you to go to a school, so I was sent here to pick you up." The man replied.

"Speaking of schools, you should re-learn how to drive so that you won't kill anyone by crashing into them..." Pearl mumbled, though loud enough for everyone to hear, everyone except Dia, that is. He was still in a daze.

The man didn't react to Pearl's mumbling, but Berlitz looked at Pearl.

Taking it as if that was a glare, Pearl immediatly shut up.

Berlitz then looked back at the man. "Why does father want me to go to a school?"

"Uh, I have no idea, Lady Berlitz. But he wants you to quit traveling so that you could attend the school." The man said.

"What?! Quit traveling?!" Pearl yelled, cutting into their conversation again.

Berlitz turned to him again, silencing him once more.

"I'll keep quiet..." Pearl got her message.

"Tell father that I'll come back a little later." Berlitz told the man.

"Sorry, miss, but Master Berlitz wants you back right now." The man said.

"...Alright, then. I just need a moment with my friends first." Berlitz replied.

The man nodded in response, and Berlitz went off to the side of the path, where there was a forest, expecting Pearl to follow.

Pearl knew what to do and followed, but not before asking Dia. "Hey, are you coming?!"

Dia gave no response and just stared into space.

"I'll...take that as a no..." Pearl mumbled and went pass him, over towards Berlitz.

Berlitz stopped walking right in front of the forest, then turned back, waiting for Pearl to come over.

Pearl shortly arrived and stared at her, folding his arms.

"What?" Berlitz asked, quite annoyed by his stare.

"Are you seriously going with that guy? What about with the whole traveling with us? And-"

"I have no choice. I am from the Berlitz family, after all, and that's what rich kids need to do: Obey their parents." Berlitz cut him off.

"Wrong. Us, 'commoners', also need to do that, but we sometimes protest. Not like rich kids like you..." Pearl said, mumbling the last sentence.

"I heard that. And, if rich kids protest...Well, we can't protest! We have bodygaurds watching us, and everything!" Berlitz complained.

"But-"

"Pearl, we're not 12 anymore, so I don't want to start another long quarrel." Berlitz calmly said, cutting him off again.

Pearl finally dropped the subject and hung his head low. "Okay, but do you really have to go?"

"..." Berlitz didn't reply and looked down. "...Y-Yes..." Berlitz finally replied.

Just as Pearl was about to say something, the car suddenly honked loudly, nearly deafening Pearl. The only good thing the honk did was wake up Dia from his daydream.

"Lady Berlitz! We have to go!" The man yelled out.

Berlitz sigh then looked at Pearl. "I guess this is good-bye..." She said and walked off. She seem to have completely forgotten about Dia standing over there.

As she walked off, Pearl could've sworn she said "For now..."
