Chapter 2

Night Terrors

Kate Prov

It was late at night and I was sitting on the fluffy pink bed, my new friend Rhythmi, told me I could sleep in from now on. She gave me some PJ's to wear at night to sleep in. The PJ's were silky, royal blue, button up long sleeved shirt and matching silky long pants, she even gave me the matching slippers. She is so kind. She told me that next weekend the two of us are going to go shopping.

I climbed out of bed and looked around the room, I noticed that there were no where near as many female students as male. There were only around four or five girls counting me and Rhythmi.

I felt my heart strings pull a bit when I started thinking of that darling Squirtle. She must be scared... all by herself... The principal said she will be able to sleep with me once her wounds are healed... I just feel so empty without her... So... alone, why is that...

Rhythmi told me that only one of the girls was in Rhythmi's class, the one with medium length auburn hair and hazel eyes, her name is Jessica Hart, although I don't think that Rhythmi likes her all that much.

Rhythmi walked over to me, "Hey Kate! Follow me!" She took my hand and pulled me out the door and into the commons room where I see Keith, who was wearing Plaid PJ pants and a gray T-shirt, Ponte who was wearing green Pj pants and a green Graphic T and two other students. I noticed that that nice boy named Isaac wasn't there.

"Hey Rhythmi, you kept us waiting... AGAIN." Keith sighed.

"Hey, watch your mouth Ruby." She growled at him, flipping her hair, "I brought her didn't I..."

Ponte giggled, "She DID do as you asked Keith... cant argue with her there."

Keith rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah yeah... Okay then let's get this show on the road!"

"Okay Kate. I know you haven't technically started school yet but... Mr. Lamont told Keith to give you your styler, for him." Rhythmi motioned to Keith who was holding a strange little green machine, "Okay so. This is what we call the Test of Courage. Everyone in this school has done it. It's to prove that you are brave enough to become a Ranger. These four have hidden there Stylers on the first floor and you need to find them. After finding them you need to put them at the door at the back of the basement."

I nodded, a bit worried, I don't believe that I am the bravest of beings... maybe in my past I was but... now... I just don't know.

"Keith has to go too!" Rhythmi spoke up, "It's to dangerous to do this alone!"

"Yeah- WAIT ME!" Keith pointed to himself, his eyes wide.

"Yes you dumb ass... Now..." She started pushing the two of us towards the stairs, "Go go!"

Soon we were downstairs and I noticed that it was pitch dark.

"Gee... This place is sorta creepy at night..." Keith spoke his voice shaky.

"BIIIIIDOOOOOOOO" A loud noise echoed throughout the halls of the school.

Me and Keith both screamed and held onto each other.

A Bidoof walked up the hall towards are scream.

"Bidoo?" It tilted it's head to the side.

"O-O-Oh... It's only a Bidoof." Keith sighed in relief.

"Wow... That sure scared me..." I sighed... I blushed when I noticed how close we were.

We both quickly jumped apart, and we spoke at the same time, "Sorry!"

"K-Kate. Try and Catch that Bidoof, you'll need it to get a few of the stylers." He informed me.

"O-Okay." I looked at the styler... unsure of how to use it.

Keith sighed, "Here let me show you how..." He came up behind me, wrapped his arms around me and helped me aim the styler at the Pokemon, he showed me how to turn it on and all of it's functions, then finally helped me loop the Pokemon and capture it. He was pressed up against my back.

Soon the Pokemon was "Captured" As he called it. He quickly moved away from me a slight blush on his cheeks.

I was amazed at the piece of Technology I held in my hands... "So amazing..."

He smiled and led me to the library.

As we walked into the Library I noticed two crates blocking our path towards the back of the library where a small green machine just like the one strapped onto my wrist was placed on the table.

"Hey see those crates over there? Bidoof is able to break them with a move that Rangers call Target clears. Ask Bidoof to break the crates." Keith informed.

I nodded, "Okay." I crouched down to talk to the Bidoof, "H-Hey little guy... can you please crush those crates for me...?"

The little beaver like Pokemon nodded and tackled the crates one after another until our path was clear.

"T-Thank you little fella." I rubbed it's head, "W-Would you please help us a bit longer?"

The Pokemon smiled and nodded.

We walked over to the table and I picked up the styler and with that we left Keith's 'Nap room.'

"Hey Kate. Our next stop is the Staff room okay. Here. I'll give you s bit of a hint. The styler is hidden in a place that doesn't sit still." He smiled.

"What...?" I felt confused.

"You'll see..."

I nodded as we went into the staff room.

I noticed a little yellow Pokemon in the back of the room a styler tied around it's neck.

"Who's that Pokemon?" I questioned.

"Oh that's a Pichu, Pichu's can be used to refill your styler energy, you gotta capture it to get the styler back." He sighed.

"Okay." I slowly walked over to the Pokemon, unsure of what to do... before the Pokemon noticed me I used my styler to capture it as quickly as I could.

I rushed over and took the styler from around it's neck, but got zapped by a small burst of electricity into my hand.

"EEP!" I withdrew my hand quickly, "T-that hurt... I don't think I really like electric types..." I pouted, on the floor, crossing my arms across my chest.

"Hey-Hey now... I'm sure Pichu didn't mean to zap you..." He sweatdropped and blushes a bit. He quickly looked away.

With a sigh I stand up, "Okay. So that's two down right? The other two are in the classrooms correct?" I question.

"Yeah, come on let's go." He walked out of the staff room and started walking down the long hallway, Bidoof still followed us around. I quickly followed after him.

We both walked into the room that he man known as Mr. Kincaid teaches in. The room as dark just like the rest of the school, I saw a Pokemon Keith called Zubat, and the poorly hidden styler on a table in the corner.

"C-C-Capture on!" I captured the Zubat just in case I needed to use it later and quietly walked over to the table with the styler on it, "That wasn't a very hard one to find..."

He laughed a bit, "Agreed."

With a sigh I walked out the door.

"It must suck not to be able to remember anything..." Keith stated.

"Yeah... it really does... It's a bit scary even... all I have is that sweet little Squirtle... And I do not even know if she is alright..." I spoke sadly...

"Yeah... I see..." He spoke in a soft knowing voice, "Kate?"

"Hmm? Yeah what is it Keith?" I looked at him with kind eyes.

Keith Prov

It was like all the thoughts in my head just completely vanished! G-Gee... she's really pretty! "Y-Y-Y-Your really pretty... W-WAIT! I-I-I-I mean!" My face was as red as my hair, I just can't believe I said that out loud... I was just going to tell her that I was going to help her find out who she was and BAM I looked into those gorgeous blue eyes of hers... DAMMIT!

I didn't hear what she said to me over all the yelling in my head but whatever she said she blushed and smiled sweetly, I think she was saying thank you.

"I-I um... hey let's just get going to Ms. A-April's room!" I announced turning on my heels and rushing to the lady teachers classroom.

Kate Prov

I giggled a bit as Keith ran off... It was funny how he got all embarrassed, and I'm not even sure why... he called me pretty, that was mighty sweet of him... he's sorta cute himself... I followed him out of the one class and into another.

Keith smiled at me, "Hey Kate I'll give you a hint for this class too! It's the only thing that wasn't here in the day time!"

"The crates?" I asked.

"Yep."

"Okay! Alright. Um mister bidoof can you pretty please crush this crate for me?" I pointed to the one by the teachers desk.

The Pokemon obeyed and in the middle on the crushed crate there was a styler.

"Thank you so much Bidoof! Do you think you can stay with me for a little longer maybe?" I asked.

The Pokemon smiled blushing a bit and nodded.

Keith sighed, "I think that Bidoof has a crush on you..."

"You think so? Why?" I asked him confused, picking up the cute little Pokemon.

Bidoof had little hearts in his eyes and he had a small blush on his cheeks.

"Bidoof is such a cute Pokemon!" I giggled holding the Pokemon.

In the back of Keith's mind he was thinking something along the lines of: Great more competition... and it's a Bidoof no less...

Keith sighed in defeat, "Come on Sapphire... Let's head to the basement... and get this over with... I'm getting tired..."

I nodded, still holding the Pokemon and began walking towards the Basement stairs...

"Kate... W-We're going to have to be really careful... okay... we don't want to get caught..." He looked at me with a smile.

I nod quickly and with that we descended the stairs to the basement... I saw yet another crate and asked Bidoof to crush it.

The lovestruck Pokemon did as told.

Though I haven't noticed it till now... but the Zubat I caught in Kinkaid's room was still following me... I quickly asked it to please cut the barrier in the way.

It shrieked and did as told...

"Thank you Zubat... Bye-bye..." I pressed the release button and the Zubat left.

I timidly walked through the basement... using the walls to help me move through the pitch black basement...

I was just about to sit the stylers down when I hear a loud shriek...

I screamed out and dived into Keith's arms, I shook as we were surrounded by four Gastly... I felt really scared...

Keith quickly grabbed his styler from my arms.

"CAPTURE ON!" He shouted.

He tried desperately to catch all the Pokemon as fast as he could...

After what seemed like forever he captured all of the gastly's and released them...

"C-Capture... Complete..." He sounded exhausted...

"K-Keith... Y-Y-You s-saved me..." I hugged him tightly, in tears...

"So you're afraid of Ghost types it seems..." He hugs me as if to protect me...

I tearfully nodded... I then heard the basement door open...

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING DOWN HERE!?" Mr. Kinkaid's voice boomed.

"KATE RUN!" Keith Shouted, taking my hand and running... I was having a hard time running after him... my legs weren't exactly the strongest things on the planet... as soon as we made it back to the now empty commons room, I collapsed to the floor...

The Bidoof was clinging to my shoulder... "T-Thanks for your help B-Bidoof..." I smiles at him and pressed release... the Pokemon smiled and quietly walked down the stairs...

"You okay Sapphire?" Keith asked me.

"Y-Yeah I-I'm o-okay R-Ruby... J-Just really sleepy... N-Night night Keith..." I stand up and hug him.

He hugs he be back, "Night Night Kate... Sweet dreams..."

We let go of each other and he kisses my cheek before rushes away from me and going into the boys dorm, leaving me alone in the darkness of the commons room touching my freshly kissed cheek...

After standing there for a good ten minutes I walked into the Girls dorm, walked over to my bed, and climbed in to sleep...

I curled up on the bed hugging my new styler... thinking about nothing else but... being a Ranger with Keith...

Oh Keith~ And you're quirky attempts at flirting XD And Kate and you cute naive self~
