I finally got to work on this chapter! Phew! Sorry you guys for the really late update and all…school (insert evil death glare) anyways! I'm so sorry please forgive me and I hope this chapter peaks your interests. ENJOY!

~Cross's P.O.V.~

Everyday day. Every single freaking day, I see him. I can't believe he completely forgot about me, I mean, I know we weren't so close back then but he was my only friend besides my Eevee and Igglybuff. I don't want to keep bugging him about it, but it really hurts to know that the one person you thought would remember you doesn't.

-Flashback-

"I'm leaving," he said with a stern voice.

"Why? Why are you leaving me?"

He said nothing and left. My world fell apart, now, I would truly be alone. But that didn't stop me, I was already a year living on the streets but didn't let anyone know. With all the training I've done I decided to go on my own journey and find him. I won't let another person close to me slip right before my eyes.

-End of flashback-

'Ring ring ring!'

I snapped out of my daily daydreaming in history and gathered up my books for next period. Tyron was waiting in front of my locker with some guy I've never met. I went up to them, "hey Tyron, who's this?"

"Oh, this is my friend Mason. He just transferred today and I gave him a tour of the place."

"Hi," I extended my hand for him to shake, "I'm Cross, it's nice to meet you," he shook my hand with a smile. His green eyes were very pretty, almost mesmerizing, and went well with his short and spiky brown hair. I looked him up and down almost analyzing him, but that's what I do and I can't help it.

He was what he called a Pokemon Enthusiast, so I'm guessing he was either in the breeders or researchers class. But right now, he's going to be in our math class.

We arrived at math and of course the teacher was late, I took my seat as Tyron sat behind me and Mason sat beside him. AnnaLisa walked in and I eagerly placed her in the seat beside me, "why are you here?" I asked her.

"Oh, I just got moved here. They took me out of science for some weird reason." She was shyly put her books on the desk and began clutching her red t-shirt.

"Something wrong?"

She nodded, "there are so many people here, and it's pretty noisy."

"Yeah well the-" But I got stopped by the class jokester.

"Hey AnnaLisa! Great to see you here!"

"Hi Tyron, who's this?" She pointed to Mason, Tyron introduced the two and when he was done I violently poked him in the middle of his forehead.

"Ow!" He rubbed his forehead which had a red spot, "what was that for?"

"That was for interrupting me when I was talking!"

"Well you didn't have to do that!"

"Would you rather I burn you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and held up Kyuubi's Pokeball.

He scowled at me and muttered random things, I stuck out my tongue at him, "don't be such an over dramatic," he kept grumbling away and I knew he would keep this up until the end of the day.

The teacher had finally walked in with two kids behind him. A girl and boy, "now class I'd like to introduce you to students who will be starting to learn here. So be nice or else," and that 'or else' meant by 'or else I'm just going to sit here and watch you go crazy as you think I'm going to do something bad'.

The girl stepped forward and looked at everyone with her icy blue eyes behind black bangs. She was short and skinny, her pale skin contrasted greatly with her black, short, spiky hair, "my name is Mimi Pike and don't mess with me." She spoke in whispers and seemed to get the attention of many people. I could hear them say she was a goth or a punk, possibly from her clothes.

Her black and purple plaid skirt with chains swayed as she made her way to the desk in front of me, the purple suspenders didn't seem to move from their place although they were hanging. I didn't think they would allow girls to wear corsets at the school but in her case it seemed like some were.

She gave me a hard stare and I smiled at her, she took her seat as the teacher introduced the other kid.

"Hi, I'm Akira Syoran and I just moved here from Twinleaf Town over in Sinnoh and I hope I have fun here!" He gave a nice smile and slightly ruffled his wavy brown hair, he took a seat behind Mason and greeted him.

Math class went by pretty fast and I jumped out of my seat the moment the bell rang for lunch. I invited Mason and Akira to join us and they agreed.

On a nearby hill, Maikee and I were fighting over how ninjas are better than pirates. It was pure nonsense but full of fun, I got worried when Skyala hadn't shown up yet.

She eventually did and out of breath, "sorry, I got kind of lost."

"I would believe that since it is your first year but then again, could it be someone caught your attention?" Her face became cherry red and my smile grew wide, "don't worry, I know who it is."

"What!"

"Mhm! But I won't tell you!" I actually knew who she was crushing on but it was fun seeing her adorable reactions. She shoved the thought out of her head and went to meet Mason and Akira.

"So, you still want to take up on that offer yesterday Cross?" Tyron turned to me.

I pouted and replied, "of course! And I'm gonna show you that I can totally beat you!"

"Ha, well good luck with that Shorty!"

"I'm not that short!"

"Yes you are. Skyala is two years younger than us yet she's still taller than you."

"By a few inches," I crossed my arms in annoyance until Akira came by and ruffled my hair.

"Don't worry kid, I'm sure you can beat him," his brown eyes gave me a spark of confidence as we all went to an empty clearing.

There was no judge because it would be a one-on-one.

~Battle music! No P.O.V.~

"Let's beat them Vap!"

"Go Todo!"

Vaporeon against Totodile. Two water type match ups resulting in a very interesting battle.

"Start with Crunch Todo!" And Totodile charged towards Vaporeon with its jaws wide open.

"Jump!" Vaporeon jumped in the nick of time and flicked Totodile off balance with her tail.

"Launch with Water Gun," Tyron said. His Totodile faced the ground and shot a stream of water which literally launched it off the ground and delivered a Crunch attack to Vaporeon.

"Hang in there Vap and Hydro Pump!" Vaporeon was up quickly, almost unharmed and sent a powerful blast of water towards Totodile.

"Use Thrash to break it!" Totodile flailed itself against the rushing water until it was caught off guard.

"Ice Beam!" Vaporeon had once again 'melted' itself into the water attack and sent an Ice Beam into Totodile who had unfortunately fainted.

Vaporeon went back to her trainer in a fit of happiness, "that was awesome Vap! Thank you so much!" And she was back in her Pokeball.

"I told ya!" Cross said to Tyron.

"I was going easy on you and you know it."

"Oh? That wasn't what it seemed like."

"Next time I won't beat you, Shorty," he smirked.

She sighed heavily and pouted again. Their friends applauded both their efforts before the bell rang, signalling that afternoon classes are about to start. They separated as the wave of students went through the halls and staircases.

In a rush, Cross shoved her books into her bag and scurried off to class, just arriving before the final bell rang.

"Now class, the seniors have invited all the battle classes in the school to show what is expected when you get to their grade level. Now, single file to the field outside," the teacher clapped. Of course though, none listened and went over at their own paces.

Cross spotted Maikee who helped her find the rest of the group, they snuck behind their teachers and sat away from the classes they were in.

The principle stepped forth and straightened her red pencil skirt and long black hair before speaking, "thank you for being here today, although it is unusual for something like this kind of event to happen, I found it has a very educational opportunity for you to see what is expected of you once you reach the final stage of your high school lives. Now, without further ado I'd like to let the teacher of the contest portion step out and show you what her students have achieved," the principle stepped back and handed the microphone over to the contest manager.

She was tall and curvy. Her milk white skin seemed flawless as her honey golden hair bounced in curls and framed her face and torso. She gracefully took the microphone and spoke with a soft, clear voice, "as Ms. Tanner has told you, we teachers of the twelfth grade department have decided to show you what you should be able to learn and do by the time you graduate. Now please pay attention to not just the performance, but also what is used and how to put the things together."

Many of the seniors did amazing performances, AnnaLisa's eyes were practically glued to the scenes unfolding before her until Mason tapped her should and snapped her out of her gaze.

A tall man with sharp features and piercing black eyes got up. He ruffled his short brown hair and quickly fixed his respectable grey suit before speaking, "I am Mr. Simone and I am in charge of the battling portions of this school. And I actually have someone special I would like you all to meet."

A guy about six feet tall with messy black hair and sharp green eyes came out from the crowd of seniors. The end of his faded and worn out jeans brushed against the dirt as he walked and rolled up the sleeves of his black sweatshirt. Students around have talked about and called him 'The Dark Angel of Hoenn'. No one in the group knew why but they were about to find out.

"Although it probably wouldn't be fair, is there anyone who would like to challenge him to see what the potential of our student can be?" Mr. Simone asked. None raised their hands, and although Cross wanted to, she didn't as a single arm came up.

I feel like such a fail! But oh well, I got this chapter done and I just hope to every living thing that I will be able to finish things *flops on a bed and sighs of relief* Review if you'd like and please, no flames!
