Lavender Academy Chapter 4: The Power of Eight!, a pokémon fanfic

Hi people! Sorry I haven't updated for so long but school gives me too much homework and I can only work on this story – bit by bit. This chapter will introduce you fully to all Dawn's friend's talents. This should be good.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or the songs that I put in this.

Chapter 4: The Power of Eight!

Third Person's POV

Dawn hurried to her next class: Geography. Dawn has always taken a liking to Geography. It made her feel a lot older – knowing a lot about what's going on in the world. And Dawn has always wanted that.

She went into the classroom. Leaf was sitting in the front row with her pencils and pens with her trusty writing book laid neatly at the top of her desk. Leaf was scanning the room looking for someone to take pity on her and SIT NEXT TO HER ALREADY.

Dawn wanted to be that girl. She walked over and poked Leaf on the arm. Leaf nodded, immediately knowing what Dawn wanted to do.

Dawn and Leaf proceeded with whispering to each other until the teacher would arrive. The teacher arrived in, looking slightly startled by the fact that she was late. It was Erika! The grass type gym leader from the Kanto region! Dawn had always admired Erika. She was always cool, calm and collected [except now of course]. Erika was wearing a grassy green kimono with delicate orange flower patterns.

Erika bowed to Dawn and asked her to come up to the front. Dawn obeyed and stood up looking to the class with pure confidence. After the few hours of being in this school, Daw has definitely upgraded with her shyness. Dawn wasn't that much of a scaredy cat. It just took her a little while to get used to her surroundings. She certainly wasn't shy when it comes to Paul though! That b***h! He deserves to be severely punished for his smirk and frown! Dawn thought with passion. Dawn's throat was dry and didn't know what to say to the class. Leaf gave her a supportive smile but that didn't do much. She looked at a tall boy with blonde, curly hair with a striped sweater and a green scarf. He made a face that made her laugh. She didn't realise that she was laughing out loud!

Dawn's POV

"I see that you've met Barry then." Erika says with a smile toying on her lips.

So that's his name. He makes another face and I smile.

"I guess so. Anyway, my name is Dawn Berlitz and my talent is music! I hope I settle down here and stuff." I say.

Erika nods at me approvingly. I kinda want to impress her. I've always wanted to be a Coordinator [despite my boyish style] but if I couldn't be that then I'd probably want to be a trainer! A champion for all regions! I'd definitely want to battle Erika one day. I sit down again.

"What's Barry's talent?" I whisper to Leaf while Erika is taking the register.

"Comedic. He's a comedian. It sounds kinda lame for a talent but I think his aunt is the Principal. He's really funny though." Leaf whispers quickly so that Erika doesn't catch on.

I nod and force my attention to the lesson. We're doing this project about pollution and global warming. For our presentation to the Principal, Erika wants us to tie in our talent as well as explain our projects. My mind is whirring when Erika mentions that the best one gets a prize. The class start to chatter with excitement.

I wonder what the prize could be. A trip to another region? An egg? A shiny Pokemon?

Geography ends quite quickly and I remember that Paul told me that the last hour is where everyone practices their talent. Leaf and I walk out of the classroom and she directs me the hall. I get excited! I can't wait to see my friends in action!

o.0.o

When I arrive in the hall, I gape. The hall is so big [about the size of a football pitch] and has white washed walls with a light brown floor. The best thing though is that every pupil has their own station. I scan the hall for mine. I see it immediately because it has a recording studio room! There are my guitar [acoustic, bass and electric], violin, microphone, headphones, amp, banjo, keyboard and many more that we don't remember buying! I see my skateboard there and I can't help thinking that it's kinda creepy to have it there when I locked it in my locker. Never mind, I'm too happy for that.

What makes me most excited though is that Principal Cynthia is standing there waiting there! I also respect Cynthia as she's the champion of the Sinnoh region where I'm from. I've seen her before. She was talking to Professor Rowan in my hometown: Twinleaf. Cynthia has a black tank top and matching trouser that show all her curves. She also has a long black coat that goes down to her knees. She has black flats on her feet and a black headband adorns her head. Her blonde silky hair is out loose and goes down to her lower back. Did I mention she likes black?

Cynthia has her famous Garchomp next to her which makes my hear pound faster. I've always wanted to see one up close. Cynthia beckons me over and I leave Leaf happily to see her.

"Welcome, Dawn. Do you like your station? It's like your own sanctuary." Cynthia says with her elegant smile.

I nod dumbly and Cynthia starts explaining me a bit about the hall. When she's finished, she walks off with a small wave.

I immediately run into my recording studio and sing [and rap!] a song I made up a little while ago.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Oh oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah

Now for my awesome rapping skills!

Yes I can, doubt that I leave, I'm running with this plan
Pull me, grab me, crabs in the bucket can't have me
I'll be the president one day
January first, oh, you like that gossip
Like you the one drinking what God sip dot com
Now I gotta work with your tongue
How many rolling stones you want
Yeah I got a brand new spirit,
Speak it and it's done
Woke up on the side of the bed like I won
Talk like a winner, my chest to that sun
G5 dealer, US to Taiwan
Now who can say that, I wanna play back
Mama knew I was a needle in a hay stack
A Bugatti boy, plus Maybach
I got a feeling it's a wrap, ASAP

Oh, oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah
Oh oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah
I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no
I get a good feeling, yeah

The mountain top, walk on water
I got power, feel so royal
One second, I'm a strike oil
Diamond, platinum, no more for you
Got adrenaline, never giving in
Giving up's not an option, gotta get it in
Witness I got the heart of 20 men
No fear, go to sleep in the lion's den
That flow, that spark, that crown
You looking at the king of the jungle now
Stronger than ever can't hold me down
A hundred miles gunnin' from the pitcher's mound
Straight game face, it's game day
See me running through the crowd full of melee
No trick plays, I'm Bill Gates,
Take a genius to understand me

Let's get it, let's get it
I know you got the good feeling'
Let's get it, let's get it
Gotta love the life that we living'
Let's get it, let's get it
I know you got the good feeling'
Let's get it, let's get it
Gotta love the life that we living'

Oh oh, sometimes I get a good feeling, yeah

I finish the song and I'm surprised to see May, Drew, Leaf, Gary, Misty, Ash and PAUL applauding me. I didn't know they could hear that! I go over to them and smile.

"That was so good! No wonder you got in!" May exclaimed.

I smile and look at Paul. His face is blank. I bet he never listened to my song but followed everyone else just not to be lonely! Jerk.

"Thanks guys! Since I'm new here, do you think you could show me your stations?" I ask, pleading a little.

They nod and we decide that we'll see May's station first.

She has a balance beam, a horse [A/N not the actual one, look it up if you don't know!] and other gymnastics stuff that I'll never understand. I nod approvingly and she beams. Next is Drew's station.

His is just a messy lab with screws and metal object everywhere. He suddenly gets a green curtain out of nowhere and puts it in front of his lab.

"Sorry. This is private. I'm working on the upcoming Science Fair." Drew says sheepishly.

"The Science Fair's not for six months!" May points out.

"The Science Fair's not for six months! Unlike YOU January, I like to be prepared." Drew says imitating May.

I look at May and I can literally see her fuming! Puffs of smoke are coming out her ears but she calms down and simply taps Misty. Misty knows what to do. She gets out her signature mallet and precedes whacking Drew on the head!

"Don't call May that ever again!" Misty shouts after the whacking.

"Don't count on it!" Ash exclaims with his happy go lucky face.

I sigh. The power of eight? This is the start of something new.

Finished! Yay! I quite like the name of this chapter! The first part of this chapter is a new style I'm trying out. Tell me if you like it! I quite like the fact that Dawn started rapping! Yay for raps!

Please review, review and review!
