Remember to R&R, people. It's the only way i can sleep easily at night, knowing somebody gives a damn about this fanfic.
St. Elmo's Fire: I PMed you about the review, and i used parts of your constructive criticism for help with the fic (It was mostly a mess before i heavily edited it), such as getting a beta reader.

It all went in a blur. Nicky used Shadow Ball. Vera fell to the floor. Bertha screamed. Nicky was taken to the floor by Lee. There were more screams. Nicky went to the principal's office, somewhat regretful of what she did.
"I didn't know she was a Psychic-type, I thought it would do neutral damage!" The Steel-type's excuses were to no avail, as she was going to be taken to Mewtwo's office.
Lee called an ambulance. Parents were called, and everybody was to be picked up. The only ones left in the gym court where Gerard, Missy, Bertha, Nicky, the unconscious Vera, and Lee.
"Gerard, I want you to take care of this unconscious girl while I go take Nicky to the office," Lee told the worried gallade.
"Are you sure, sir?"
"Definitively! All my years of experience showed that it's perfectly ok to leave an unconscious girl near a teenage male! Why, it's FOOL-PROOF!" Lee exclaimed obliviously. Gerard cringed.
"Huh…"
"I'LL CHOOSE TO TAKE THAT AS A YES! LEE AWAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" He used High Jump Kick through a window, and kept going until he faded out of view, to the amazement of no one.
"I'm supposed to be taken to the principal office," Nicky said dully. Mewtwo popped their head through the door.
"Don't discipline yourself, young lady. Now, please whine and complain," Mewtwo said as they carried her with their psychic-type powers.
"Yes, okay," Nicky then cleared her voice. "Why? I don't want to. It was somebody else, I swear…" She whined and complained all the way to Mewtwo's office.
Mew showed up while talking to somebody in their phone.
"Yes. Yes. I see. Ambiguous response, yes, yeah," Mew hung up and announced to Gerard, "The ambulance may take a few hours. Nobody except the poor young gardevoir over there knows Teleport, so we'll have to wait and hope." Mew then floated off.
"Ger Ger, let's go to, like, the mall, where all the cool kids, like, hang out and have fun when a classmate, like, faints" Missy pleaded to Gerard. "She'll be, like, fine, her empty head, like, cushioned the fall."
Gerard suddenly gained a look of sheer determination as he picked up Vera, bridal-style.
"No," he said, "it's my duty as a teenage male!" Suddenly, his legs began making motorcycle noises, with the engine roaring and the gears changing. Then, he dashed off to the hospital, leaving a shocked mismagius behind. Then, Bertha screamed:
"Run, Gerard, run!"
Gerard ran to the center while doing needless parkour in the buildings and houses. At one point, Lee, who was still in the air with his High Jump Kick, passed by. He gave the young male a thumbs up.
Gerard dropped out of the tall buildings and ran by the streets, where a biker muk was speeding. They looked at each other and nodded. It was going to be a totally edgy ILLEGAL STREET RACE FUCK YEAH! Since there are no rules in a ILLEGAL STREET RACE FUCK YEAH!, the muk pushed Gerard towards the sidewalk. Although Gerard was fine, Vera hit her head with a post and woke up.
"Wut?" She said, dazed and confused. The muk pushed Gerard again, which caused Vera to hit her head and faint again. Poor girl, she was just caught up in a ILLEGAL STREET RACE FUCK YEAH!
After a few minutes, the biker received a text. He read it, taking his eyes off the road.
"'Don't be a dummy. Don't take your eyes off the road. This was a Poke-Government PSA,'" the simple Poison-type read slowly. When he turned back to the road, he saw he was about to fall off a convenient cliff. As he fell to his death, he screamed like Wile E. Coyote.
At a street near the convenient cliff, there was an arcanine cop with his phone out. He said into the radio, "A street racer has been taken down, I repeat, taken down." He glancec at his phone. He looked towards an invisible audience. "Ain't I a stinker?" Suddenly, the world became completely black, except for his face, which remained in a circle as he smirked. After a few seconds, the world became completely black, the Looney Tunes ending playing as it did.
Meanwhile, a blissey doctor was waiting in her office in the Castelia Pokemon Center.
"Doctor Betty, there are no more patients today. You can go home," a bored voice over the intercom told the blissey, who sighed and began to pack her things.
"Finally. I have been in this hospital for a month" Betty picked up a family portrait of her, a jumpluff and a happiny. "I can't wait to see my family…" Suddenly, Gerard came crashing through the window. "Oh ok. Alrighty then. Fuck me then."
"Can you nurse this gardevoir back to health?" Gerard asked before fainting on the floor. Betty just sighed and turned towards the intercom.
"Audrey, bring me the Payapa juice."
Silence.
"Doctor Betty, you know the side effects of Payapa juice, such as..."
"I don't give a shit"
"My Verita! Let me see my Verita!" Vera's mom pushed against the crowd of nurses who tried to hold her back. "VERITA WHERE ARE YOU!?"
"She's… in the room number 12, floor 2…" A injured nurse groaned helpfully.
"Oh, thanks!" Vera's mom stepped over the nurse as she ran to room number 12, floor 2. There, she saw Vera lying on a bed, still unconscious. "VERA! MY VERA! VERITA! MY VERITA! VERA VERITA! MY VERA VERITA! VERERITA! MY VERERITA! VERERERITA! MY VERERERITA! VERERERERITA! MY VERERERERITA! SWEETIE! MY SWEETIE! SWEETIE PIE! MY SWEETIE PIE! HOMIE! MY HOMIE!"
"Ugh, mom, what do you want?" Vera said, just waking up from her nap.
"CAN'T YOU JUST STAY OUT OF PROBLEMS FOR TWO SECONDS BEFORE YOU GIVE YOUR MOTHER AN ANEURYSM?!" cried Vera's mom as she shook her daughter.
Gerard then entered the room, due to his concern about Vera's condition.
"The nurses said I could enter now. Is everything-" He never got to finish his sentence, because Vera's mom whacked him with Psychic.
"You pervert! How dare you try to harass my daughter!" she yelled as she began beating up Gerard, as Vera sweat-dropped (because a nurse left the stove on).
"Mom, stop, he didn't do anything!" Vera pleaded, but to no avail, for her mother kept beating up the poor gallade, who could (but would not, out of respect) fight back. Fortunately, nurses appeared and dragged her mom off. Then, Doctor Betty appeared, frowning at the sight of Vera's mom being dragged away.
"I hate this job. Anyway, due to a combination of luck and free healthcare, you'll be good to go in a few days," she told Vera.
"Yahoo!" Vera cheered, raising her arms in triumph.
"Unfortunately, there's a high chance you might have gotten permanent brain damage." Betty handed her a drawing of an apple. "What color is this?"
Vera looked at the drawing for a second, before turning to Betty.
"Maybe a little Payapa would refresh my memory," she said with a grin. Betty sighed and injected Vera with Payapa juice. Vera then laughed as the Payapa started to take effect. "Ah, yes, i remember, it's orange of course!" When Betty gave her a disapproving look, she pleaded, "Another chance!"
"Alright..."
"It's red!" Before Betty could say anything, Vera shouted again, "Another chance!"
Mewtwo came into the room.
"Can somebody explain whatever happened to this poor gardevoir, please?" Mewtwo asked seriously. Before Gerard could explain, Vera interrupted.
"Don't you worry, hot stuff," She winked at Gerard, who slowly walked away and then bolted out of the room, weirded out by Vera's drugged out state. "I will explain to the principal what really happened."
A more attractive and elegant Vera entered a psychedelic gym, which made all male students drool and enraged all girls, and Gerard tried to kiss her.
"Oh, Vera make me yours…" Gerard said while they both made out.
"Gimme a second, honey. First, I gotta crush these wimps at dodgeball," Vera told him as she quickly won dodgeball and made a small and wimpy Missy cry.
However, a single player remained, aside from Vera. It was a vicious and brutish Nicky, who threw all the balls in the gym at Vera, who swiftly and gracefully dodged them and hit her with a single ball.
"Looks like you haven't got-" Vera pulled sunglasses out of nowhere and put them on, "balls"
At that moment, the president, a slaking, appeared and saluted Vera, who did the same.
"Vera, for your bravery and coolness, I award you this medal," he said as he handed a medal to her. Everyone clapped.
"Thank you! And now, my guitar solo!" Vera started playing the guitar and did an awesome solo, without realizing that Nicky sneaked behind her, and then…
"-and then I turned around and punched her, and she cried to her mom, and then I did another guitar solo, and then I got another medal, and then…" Vera couldn't continue, as she passed out because of the Papaya in her body. Mewtwo face-palmed as Betty took the morphine Papaya needles away.
"No more Payapa… No more Payapa…" Betty repeated endlessly.
"I can't believe it..." said a Banette the next day at Palkia's High School in the lunch time. "That Gardevoir was taken to the hospital single-handedly by PIKACHU!" The Banette pointed at a Pikachu, who was eating an apple, and who peeked his head out from behind his lunch tray.
"What did I do this time?" he asked, unaware, as the school cheered him on and carried him on their arms. Gerard sweat-dropped (stove again) besides the Lucario from before and a Machamp.
"It was me you idiots! How could you not notice- Lemme at 'em Lucas!" Gerard said to the crowd in vain while being held by the Lucario effortlessly with one hand.
"I h-hope Vera's a-alright..." Bertha said calmly as she poked at her food.
As Vera was desperately poking around her room for the precious berry juice, Betty read her the status.
"So after a single day of physical therapy, you seem to be alright and can resume your life as normal after brain injury. I don't even know. Your mom is doing her nails, responsible parenting, so it seems you'll have to walk to your home alone"
"WHERE'S THE PAYAPA!?" Vera screamed at the top of her lungs at Betty.
"I'm legally disabled to give it to a patient after you tore off your physical therapist's ear because you thought you saw Payapa in there," Betty sighed. "Anyway, goodbye and I hope I never have to see you again."
"Thanks! Oh, and doctor, dear," Vera put an arm across the doctor as she raised an eyebrow in exasperation, "I know it's hard to live life while being colorblind, but do it for me, alright? I tell you," She then put her face nears Betty's, "the apple was blue." Vera went away, dancing, as it became obvious to Betty she found Payapa minutes ago.
Betty then sighed yet again and put her things in her bag.
"I'm going to be the one to need therapy after I get home..."
She was then promptly kicked across the face and knocked out by Lee, who just crashed through the hospital window.
"I'm alright!" Lee screamed to no one.
While dancing out of the center, druggy Vera waved to strangers and took a deep breath when out.
"Okay, I'm young, alone, and full of juice. What do I do?" She thought for a minute before pointing at the sky triumphantly. "Go crazy, Castelia-style!" She grabbed onto a streetlight as she sang. "Castelia, Castelia, a helluva town!"
She drunk danced at a party very badly as the other partygoers looked with contempt.
"The Mode is up, but the Central's down!"
A machamp bodyguard grabbed her by the throat and threw her out.
"Screw this anyway."
She went to Narrow Street and sang with the wild meowths, ending their disharmonic chorus.
"The people ride in a hole in the ground-!"
The wild meowth then scratched her in the face for her troubles.
She opened the doors of a bustling auditorium, marched to the piano, then somehow played a beautiful solo on it, ending to a standing ovation.
She then sang the grand finale of the song in the sidewalk triumphantly.
"Castelia, Castelia, it's a helluva town!" A shoe was aimed at her by a sleepy and angry aipom. She went towards her house as if nothing happened.
Mind you, she did all this while wobbling like a drunken Spinda.
"Ugh my head... I'm never taking Payapa again..." Vera said, after waking up with a hangover (or something).
"What have you done last night, young lady?!" her mother, who was right besides her, screamed.
"Mom?! What are you doing here?"
"I was not spying on you all night to confront you right when you woke up, no sir," she then fell asleep on the floor.
Vera noticed her phone had 9 messages.
From: Bertha.
'Hi, are you alright?'
'Vera answer me'
'Oh Arceus Vera where are youuuu!?'
Vera laughed a little. Silly old Bertha, she knew her only for a day, yet she was very clingy. Didn't she had other friends?
She frowned when she remembered she hadn't.
She frowned when she remembered neither she had any friends.
Oh well. She was a good friend, however. Loners have to stay together.
'I'm fine'
From: Gerard.
'Heya. Just wanted to make sure you were fine'
'Also, tell your mom to hit a bit harder. It's not like i had a heavy concussion or anything'
Vera literally had hearts in her eyes. Her day long crush sent her a message! How more romantic could this get?
'I'm fine'
From: Vice-Principal Mewtwo.
'To the student:
We, at the school, are really sorry for what happened the last Tuesday. As a result, appropriate methods to handle the aggressor have been taken. We are really sorry for any inconveniences.
- Vice-Principal Mewtwo.'
From: Principal Mew.
'Please don't sue us'
From: THE REALLY REALLY AWESOME NICKY.
'ATTENTION TO ALL THE SCHOOL. THIS IS A GROUP MESSAGE. IT MEANS EVERYBODY WILL RECEIVE IT. I WANT TO ANNOUNCE, VERA'S A LOSER WHO FAINTS IN CLASS AND PICKS HER NOSE. IF SHE ISN'T A COWARD, SHE WILL FIGHT ME MONDAY AFTER SCHOOL'
What? How could she know about her picking her nose? She hadn't done that in public since third grade! There was no way she could know about that, unless she bribed Ms. Kangaskhan, her third grade teacher. That bitch would do anything for a cup of coffee.
But the point stands, Vera's reputation was ruined. She would not be able to get near the school ever again! And how could she fight, her only direct attack was Confusion! Nicky resisted it and could take her out with a single Shadow Ball. How could she fight?
From: Self-Defense School.
'Hiya there! We will get you in shape in no time!
Train under the famous Hitmontop to learn powerful moves!
Find us at the dojo, in the Ditto Avenue! Open from 10:00 to 20:00!
Reporting us for spam will be futile!'
Vera smirked.
This was going to be easy.
