Previously, on School, Nahh..

"Damn. We still need 4," a voice said over a pokegear.

"True, true. But I've got 7's help."

"That will be a great asset."

"I will do my best," a voice said as it joined in on their chat.

"Good. Now, we've been stalling, but once we get 4, I want to be done," Blue sighed.

"So, I'll get 8, she'll get 9?" The first voice said.

"No.. you'll both get 8, use plan G again."

"You said I was capturing 9," the second voice asked.

"Hmm.. 8 or 9.. 8 I think. Then use 8 to get 9. That will work."

"So what do I do?"

"Get 8. Use 8 to get 9 with my assistant."

"Ok. This will cost extra."

"I get it. Just get the people. I'll focus on the money."

"Ok.."

Sapphire was sitting in a branch. She had dragged Ruby off to the woods and was planning to play a trick on him. She was holding a bucket full of muddy water.

"Come on.." Sapphire muttered.

But Ruby, who had been running after her a second ago, didn't appear. Where was he? Sapphire growled.

"I swear if he much longer, I'm killing him.."

Previously..

"Hey Sapph! Wait up!"

Ruby was running after Sapphire, who was swinging from tree to tree at superhuman speeds, gaining ground every second, until she disappeared from his sight.

Now..

Ruby was still running in the direction that Sapphire was going, but he was getting tired. He wished he hadn't lost his running shoes. Ruby stopped for a second and looked around, trying to catch his breath and get his bearings. He had never been to this part of the forest. It was much darker here.

THUD!

Something landed on top of him, presumably falling or jumping from a branch. It pinned him down.

"Ok, not funny Sapph," Ruby said and tried to get her off of him.

Then Ruby looked up and realized that it wasn't Sapphire pinning him down.

"Aghh! Who the hell are you?"

A ninja thingy person was pinning him down. He had a length of rope in his hand and slowly reaching towards Ruby's head.

"No! Stop! I'm too young to die!"

Then the ninja person grabbed Ruby's hat off his head. That's when something clicked inside Ruby's head. With a surge of strength, he did a backflip thing out from under the ninja-dressed person, somehow reversing their positions so that he was pinned under Ruby.

"No. One. Touches. My. Hat," Ruby hissed in the ninja's ear before sprinting off in the direction he presumed was the way out of the forest.

In a few minutes, Ruby reached the edge to the forest, only to remember something. The ninja still had his hat. Woops. Ruby thought for a moment before heading back inside the forest. 'No one is going to see me without my hat,' he thought.

"Well.. that was unexpected," the ninja mumbled, pulling herself off the ground.

She pulled out a pokégear and dialed a number. It rang once before answering. "Yes?"

"I failed. But.." The ninja-person thingy glanced at the hat in her hand. "Based on what Blue said, he should be coming back. Leave the other one."

"Roger that. I'm heading to your position."

Ruby was walking through the forest, trying to head back to where the ninja person was. He was being very careful not to make any noise, for he didn't want his opponent to have any advantage. As in being able to have a sneak attack on him. So he quietly walked through the jungle, trying to pinpoint the location where the ninja who had his hat was.

Finally, he managed to find the place where the ninja has tackled him. The person was still there, their back turned to him. Ruby could see his hat in their hand. He decided to go for a surprise attack, and suddenly sprinted for the ninja.

Before he got within twelve feet of her, she whirled around. Now that he could see her properly it was obvious she was a she. The ninja released a Noctowl and hopped on it's back.

"Only a coward would refuse a battle," she called out.

Ruby gritted his teeth. Only a coward would refuse a battle.

"Plus," she continued from her Noctowl's back, "I believe Sapphire mentioned that you could be a great battler when you wanted too."

"Wait, what? What have you done with Sapph?"

She giggled. "Nothing important. Now.. HYPER BEAM!"

Ruby barely had time to leap out of the way before the hyper beam struck the ground where he had been standing a second ago. It made a crater at least five feet deep.

He looked at in disbelief at the ninja person. She was just a random trainer, yet she had power that coukd rival that of the dex-holders. And she had apparently overpowered Sapph...It was incredible.

"Go Mimi!"

Ruby released Mimi, his Milotic.

"Use Captivate!"

[Mimi attempted to charm the foe's Noctowl!]

The ninja yawned. "Is that all you've got? I guess Sapph doesn't need her head.."

"Huh?" The ninja looked down to see that her Noctowl was looking at Milotic, obviously swooning. "Hmm.. That move was much move powerful than expected.. I guess you aren't just a contest sissy after all! Well.. then I won't treat you like one! Use Sky Attack!"

The Noctowl started charging up the attack, it's body cloaked in light.

Ruby could see where this was going. "Quick, use Hydro Pump!"

The Milotic opened it's mouth, but the enemy's Noctowl had charged up the attack miraculously fast. It swooped down and hit Mimi with the powerful attack, causing her to flinch and miss the opening after the attack, so Mimi lost her chance to attack.

Ruby looked at Noctowl. No way it should of been able to charge up that move that quickly.

The ninja girl giggled and said, "Power Herb. Items can do some marvelous things, eh? But it was a one time use. I better win this battle, or I will have wasted an item! So, Hypnosis!"

Noctowl's eyes glowed and focused themselves on Milotic, who fell over, fast asleep.

"Mimi!" Ruby cried.

"Give up yet?" The ninja smirked.

"In your dreams!"

The ninja girl looked bored. "Fine. Noctowl, Hypnosis."

Ruby was looking at the ninja girl when she said this, who was on top of Noctowl, so he didn't have time to look away before the effects of hypnosis came over him and he fell asleep. When Ruby fell to the ground, he desperately tried to give one more command to Mimi.

"Bli-blizz…"

[It's super effective! Ruby fell fast asleep!]

Mimi began stirring. She lifted her head up, and blinked once, twice. Then she shook her head and screeched. The sky darkened with clouds and a flurry of snow came flying from the sky until you couldn't see your hand in front of your head. When it finally cleared, Noctowl was lying on the ground, fainted. Ruby's Milotic let out an eerie screech of triumph; it sounded music with only one note, though everyone who heard it knew that there were millions of songs within it, each with it's own tune.

"What? It knew ice attacks all along? I-I lost?"

The ninja fell to her knees in front of her fallen Noctowl, with Mimi towering above her. She didn't seem to notice. Then she shakily got to her feet. "This battle isn't over yet!" she shouted angrily.

"Oh yes it is."

The ninja turned around to find-

"Janine," she grumbled, "what are you doing here?"

"You told me to come here," she replied before ordering her Ariados to tie up the boy with it's thread. Mimi roared her disapproval, before Ariados made the final blow to the already weakened sea serpent.

"Oh, yeah." The ninja girl smiled sheepishly.

"Well, we got him. That's all that matters."

"But," the ninja girl said dejectedly, "I still lost."

"It's not time to be all sad, Lyra."

"I TOLD you to call me Ninja Girl of Awesomeness!"

"Pfft."

Red gave a jerk as he woke up and hit his head on the ceiling. He looked around the pitch black area, wondering where he was and how he got there. Then, memories started flooding back of Blue using sing on him, ect. Red tried to stand up to get his bearings, but once again hit his head on the ceiling.

"Stupid Blue.." he muttered, rubbing his head.

Then Red reached out his arms and tried to feel his way out of wherever he was. Almost immediately, both of his arms hit walls. Walls made of what felt like wood. He felt his way down one of the walls, trying to find out how big the space he was in was. Red estimated about four feet squared. Then he reechoed to the other wall and tried to do the same, but when his hands should've hit the floor, he found something warm and squishy.

"Aghh!"

Red jumped back as he yelled and hit the opposite wall. Then the wall tipped over and became the new ground, flinging the body or whatever it at Red. It hit him and seemed to wake up from a deep sleep.

"Red?"

It was Yellow's voice.

"Red, is that you? Where are we?"

"In a crate, I think."

CLIFFY!
