Chapter 2

Signing Up for Enhancement School

Finding a home was actually hard. Every place I tried just shut me out. In the city, I tried Goodra's Hotel, Tauros's Condos, and Granbull's Apartment Building. I guess my luck will always be out of favor. It's like I'm a sell-out.

But my hopes aren't completely crushed.

I still have a good life ahead of me. I'm the smartest one on this island. I could blow minds away with future inventions that I could make. Just let them wait. It'll take time, but they will all eventually find respect for me.

My spirits were lifted even higher when I found the perfect opportunity to make myself more respected. I saw an announcement board with sign-ups for an enhancement school. So many young Pokémon were signing up, and some teens were signing up too. I hope there is still a place for me to sign up. I leaped towards the board and was pushed around by so many Pokémon that it was hard to get in.

"Get lost!" yelled one of the Pokémon to another.

"Give me the pen!" said another.

"Step aside, runts!" yelled a voice of another Pokémon. It sounded like a female teen. I figured it was Servine, and sure enough it was her. She slapped others with her leaf on her tail, shoved others to her side, and even used Tackle on one of the other Pokémon. Then she went on a speech. "Alright, noobs!" she yelled. "I know I may already be perfect, and the best of all of you, and now you guys are asking, why I'm signing up. Because I'm going to take over the school and rule it! Even the teachers will bow down to me! So be careful! I'm watching ALL of you!"

"Yea, good luck with that," I retorted, which wasn't one of my best moves. She immediately stomped over and glared at me and picked me up using Vine Whip.

"What'd you say, nerd?" she screamed.

I sneered. "You heard me."

"WHAT did you say to me?"

I chuckled. "Can't you comprehend? I mean seriously, you being a queen? Good luck with that dream-not-come-true." I heard a bit of canned laughter in the background, and Servine just lost it. She started to whip me on the ground. Fortunate for me, I knew what I had to do. She's a girl, and I know just the thing to scare her. I escaped from Vine Whip, thought like a Ghost type, and used Lick. I didn't know if she was paralyzed or not because she just stood there with her eyes wide and her mouth was wide open.

"EWW! NOW I HAVE FROAKIE'S DNA ALL OVER ME! NOT A GUY'S DNA, NOT A GUY'S!" she screamed. She ran away, crying and screaming.

I actually kinda felt bad. She was sensitive to actions and words. I got a whole lot of attention, but I didn't know if it was good or not. But the attention was drawn away when Sewaddle yelled, "I call dibs on the last space of the Bug type class!" and hell brewed up again.

I managed to get a spot on the Water type class. I feel kinda lucky to get a spot. There were only three slots left, and my chances of getting to the front of the crowd were pretty grim. But I prevailed, and I couldn't wait for class. I wonder if I'll meet some more friends there, and I wonder if my teacher is nice. When night came, I just wandered through the city and was dreaming about the next big milestone in my life.
