Hey guys, this is my next chapter, it has been a while, and I haven't been writing all this time, and I almost gave up. But I held on, and this is the longest chapter yet. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 6
A lot of things had happened since everyone had arrived back at Pallet Town. They had obviously unpacked, and Harvey and Luke had been signed up for Kanto High School. They were put into year eight, and they didn't have school uniforms, which pleased them both. When the time came for them to come to go to school, they were actually pretty interested. When they got there, they looked around, and they were pretty excited for classes, even with no experience in Pokémon.
"Wow, so there are Pokémon classes," Harvey said, impressed and excited.
Ash and the gang met Serena, and they walked into class.
"Hey," Serena said to Ash, and they hugged, quickly breaking apart.
"Don't I get one?" Luke said, chuckling.
"What?" Serena said, confused.
"Jokes," Luke quickly replied.
"Well, well, well..."
A Japanese girl with black hair and a sneering expression walked over with her gang of friends.
"Look who's here," she sneered, walking over casually and surrounding the gang with her friends.
"Go away," Ash said, backing away.
As he tried to, the girl's friends blocked him, and pushed him back.
"Back off Leiko!" Serena yelled, and pushed Leiko.
"Oooh, look who can fight back," Leiko's friends taunted, and Harvey looked at them angrily.
Leiko had previously not acknowledged Harvey and Luke's presence.
"Oooh, newbies, what fun!" She said, and raised her fists at Harvey.
He raised them back, at acted like she was going to strike, but never did. Just when it seemed like she was going to do something, the bell went, and they rushed to class. Serena and Ash headed to their class, and Luke and Harvey went to their class, using the map they had been given.
When they entered the class, the teacher brought them to the front and introduced them to everybody in the class.
"Hello class, this is Harvey and Luke, they are a new part of this class, so treat them nicely," She said.
"Why would we do that?"
"Excuse me?"
Leiko had shouted out to the teacher.
"What did you say?" The teacher yelled.
"Why would we do that?" Leiko sneered.
"Detention for being incredibly rude to Luke and Harvey!" The teacher boomed.
Leiko looked sadly down at the table, and Harvey and Luke sat down at their seats right next to each other.
"Let's begin," The teacher said. "This lesson is about Pokémon typing, so I'll begin with a question. Harvey, what type beat's the fairy type?"
Harvey paused for a moment, and thought about it. What was it? He didn't know. He just sat there, and the teacher took the hint. She asked another person, and they got the answer correct.
"Dragon type,"
"Correct!"
Harvey sat there, feeling a bit humiliated.
The rest of the lesson was humiliating for Harvey and Luke, and once they left for 15 minute break, they sat down with Ash and Serena, hoping the next lesson would go better.
"So, how was your fist lesson?" Ash taunted.
"Shut up," Harvey and Luke said at the same time.
They all sat there for a while, until their peace and solitude was once again disturbed by Leiko.
"Well, well, well..." She taunted.
Harvey raised his fist by her face, causing her to flinch and back away slightly.
"Go away before you regret not going," Harvey said.
She remained where she was, and Harvey took the hint.
"Well, your choice," He said, and he lunged for her. She jumped out of the way, and Harvey landed right by her lackies. They all attacked him, but he resisted the pain and backed away.
"Pitiful, how you rely on people you look down on to fight your battles," Harvey said, walking slowly. "For that, I won't fight you, get out of my sight,"
Leiko and her lackies left, and as Ash and everybody else left, the bell went, and they left for their lessons.
The next lesson for Harvey and Luke was Pokémon battles. Most people had their own. Harvey didn't so when he was called up to fight a kid with a Treeko, to get the advantage, Harvey chose a Charmander.
"Let the battle begin!".
The kid with the Treeko yelled, "Use quick attack!"
With incredible speed, Treeko hit Charmander, causing him to fall to the floor.
"Charmander, use scratch!" Harvey yelled, and Charmander used his claws to scratch Treeko.
Treeko backed away, and his trainer yelled, "Mega Drain, now!".
Treeko fired a green bolt at Charmander, and the life and energy of Charmander was slightly sucked out, and transferred to Treeko.
"It's not very effective!" Harvey yelled. "Charmander, use smoke screen!"
Charmander fired a ball of grey smoke at the floor, causing Treeko to blindly stumble around.
Eventually, Treeko walked out of the smoke, but couldn't react, as his eyes had trouble adjusting to the light.
"Charmander, Aerial Ace, now!" Harvey yelled, and Charmander slashed Treeko, causing him to crash to the floor, fainted and beaten.
"It's super effective, and Harvey wins the battle!"The teacher yelled, and everybody cheered loudly. Harvey and the defeated kid shook hands, and they left for their lines showing victory and defeat.
"Next up, Luke!" The teacher yelled.
Luke came to the battlefield, versing a kid with Pidgeot. Luke chose a Houndour.
"Begin!" The teacher yelled.
"Houndour, use Ember!" Luke yelled, and Houndour fired a bolt of fire at Pidgeot, causing the bird to fall over in pain.
"Pidgeot, use Aerial Ace!" The kid screamed, and Pidgeot slashed at Houndour.
Luke quickly retaliated by yelling, "Use Bite!".
Houndour sped towards Pidgeot, and bit the bird in the chest, causing it to topple over.
"Houndour, use fire blast!" Luke boomed, and Houndour fired the kanji for fire in the air. It hit Pidgeot in the chest, and exploded. Smoke covered the scene, and when it finally cleared, the Pokemon was laying on the floor, defeated.
"Luke is the victor!" The techer boomed, and everybody cheered. He lined up in the victor's area, and shook hands with Harvey, and waited to see what would happen with the winners of their battles.
As the teacher prepared to say something, the bell went. She looked at her watch, and said, "End of the class, I appeared to have lost track of the time, class dismissed.
Harvey and Luke left the battlefield, and went to get lunch with Ash and Serena. As they lined up to get food, a teacher looked a bit familiar. They let it go, and rushed in to get their lunch. They were a bit saddened to find out they served Pokemon. The meal of the day was Farfetch'd stew, and Harvey decided to pass, and eat a chicken sandwich. After they got their meals, they sat down and tucked in. Ash noticed that Harvey wasn't eating the stew, and asked why.
"Why aren't you eating the stew?"He questioned.
"Because it's Farfetch'd, and their almost extinct, so it would just be making them more rare," Harvey explained, and continued eating.
"Fair enough," Ash said, and he started to gobble his food down as if he'd never eaten in his life.
"Jeez, could you eat faster?" Luke said, backing away.
"Yes, do you want me to?" Ash replied.
"SARCASM!" Luke boomed, and he stormed off and sat on another table.
"Jeez, what's up with him?" Ash said to Harvey and Serena.
"Dunno," Harvey replied. "He doesn't usually lose it randomly, so something is probably bothering him, or it's just you,".
"What did I do? Ash asked.
"I have no clue," Harvey said, and the three went back to eating their food.
About an hour later, after the bell had went for class, they all headed to their respective classes, and Harvey had physical training with Luke, one of the few lessons not related to Pokemon. There was a massive track around the school, and they had to run four laps around it.
"Begin!" The teacher yelled, and they all started their sprint. Most people used all of their speed right in one go, and they were out of energy before they were even halfway. The smart people, including Harvey and Luke, saved their energy, and used it in bursts, running fast and slow at certain points to stop them from getting tired out. By the second lap, most of the people running fast at the start had started walking, and a few had just given up. Harvey and Luke weren't absolutely fit and able to do anything sporty of athletics related, and they didn't even like sports, but their membership in Super Sentai had boosted their strength, speed, and resistance. The smart people were still going strong, and once they had finally finished the four laps, a few of the smart people had got bored and given up.
The teacher then called everybody to him, and said they could take a 10 minute break, and get a drink from the water fountain or the vending machine. Harvey bought a bottle of coke, and sat down next to Luke.
"Why did you lose it earlier?" Harvey questioned.
"I dunno, just, Ash is a good guy, but he can sometimes drive me insane, and that's what his piggy eating did, coupled with the stress of all this, it just made me snap," Luke explained, sipping his Sprite.
After that lesson ended, they left for home, and walked back with Ash and Serena. Luke apologised to Ash, and they happily walked back, until 3 red laser bolts hit the floor by them, sending sparks by them and blocking their view. Once the smoke had cleared, Harvey and the gang noticed who it was. A Zangyack General.
"Zangyack!" Harvey yelled, and prepared to morph.
As he started to morph, he felt a beam of energy hit him in the chest, and he stumbled onto the floor in pain. Luke tried to hit the General, but his fist was grabbed and twisted.
"You guys are Sentai members? Die!" The general yelled, and he punched Luke in the face causing him to smash into the ground.
The general was about to finish them off, and Ash and Serena stood there, paralysed with fear. The General prepared to deliver the finishing blow, a lightning fast person struck him in the chest with a sword, causing him to topple over. Ninja Red was standing there, and he was ready to hit again. The general tried to hit Ninja Red, but was hit with a Ninja Sword, and couldn't get in close enough.
"Ninja Technique, 5 Body Split!" Ninja Red yelled, and his body became 5, and all of them started hitting the general, overwhelming him. The General fell onto the ground, and slowly tried to get up, but pain prevented him from doing so. Ninja Red grabbed onto Harvey, Luke, Ash and Serena, and yelled, "Ninja Technique, Smoke Disappear!"
In a puff of smoke, Ninja Red and everybody else were teleported by Ash's house.
"Hey, why did you-".
Before they could say anything, Ninja Red had ran away in a blur of red.
"What on Earth just happened?" Ash asked.
"If I could tell you I honestly would,"Harvey replied, and they all entered the house.
They sat down with drinks and explained what had happened to Delia. She was as puzzled as they were. She gave them a blank look and shrugged when they asked her if they knew what had happened.
"How can a man like that appear out of nowhere?" Ash asked Harvey.
"I know," Luke said, and everyone looked over at him at the opposite side of the room."He's Ninja Red, so he can travel faster than the speed of light, so he could of been over 300,000km away, as that's how fast light travels in a second.
"Still, that doesn't explain how he knew we were about to be killed," Harvey said.
"I know that, so we may have to assume it's coincidence, or he somehow was looking for the general and that he had found him, just as we were about to be murdered," Luke explained.
"Guys, it's probably coincidence, let it go for now," Ash said, and they stopped talking about the subject.
Everybody had dinner at Ash's house, and Serena then left for her own house. Harvey and Luke sat on the sofa, using the supercomputer they had developed. They were looking for CCTV footage of Ninja Red, but even slowing it down by an incredible amount didn't get them any closer to an answer of where the mystery Ninja Red came from.
"Where is this guy?" Harvey said, getting a bit frustrated with the computer.
"Just give up, we're not gonna get any answers anytime soon," Luke said, and Harvey, though begrudgingly, put down the computer and shut it off.
"I'm going to bed, turn the T.V down," Harvey said to Luke, and he pulled out a blanket and a pillow and started to sleep on the sofa.
Luke just sat there, watching T.V, thinking about random things and trying to keep Ninja Red out of his head. All was going fine until he heard a bloodcurdling bang coming from outside. He leaped off the sofa and left the house to investigate. Over the other side of Pallet Town, there was a crater in the ground. Luke slowly walked over to it, slightly paranoid.
"Come on...nothing scary...just do it..." He thought to himself.
As he approached the crater, he noticed it was deeper than he originally thought it would be. There was a man in there, facing in the opposite direction, so his face wasn't visible to Luke. He forced himself to jump inside, and as he got closer to the man, no, the boy, he noticed he looked familiar. When he finally approached the boy, he went to turn him over to see his face, but as he touched the boy, a bright blue beam came out of the sky and him right in the chest, causing him to fly backwards out of the crater and land by somebody's house nearby.
It took a few seconds for Luke to recover from the hit, but when he did, he got up and peered in the crater, only to find that the man on the ground was gone. He started to wonder what had happened, and eventually landed on the answer that he had been disintegrated by the beam, due to prolonged exposure to it. Other people were emerging from their houses, woken up from either the noise or the bright blue beam. Luke just left the scene and went back to his (or Ash's ) house.
The Next Day
When everybody else got up for the day, Luke told them about when happened , and they were as confused and puzzled as he was. It made them completely forget about Ninja Red, but they remembered how much talking about Ninja Red bothered Luke, so they didn't talk about this new mystery much either, saying their excuse was that they weren't there, so they didn't have answers.
Eventually, they left for school, and once again, met up with Serena. Ash and Serena talked all the way there, and Harvey and Luke just walked in silence, trying not to interfere in what so obviously was Ash trying to get in good with Serena. Once they actually arrived, Harvey and Luke rushed away from Ash and Serena before the flirting and romance made them crack. They waited near their class, ready to learn something new about Pokemon, until they were, yet again, bothered by Leiko.
"Look, it's the newbie nerds again!" She sneered, and her lackies all laughed in a screeching tone.
"F*ck off!"Luke yelled, raising his fist by Leiko's head.
"Look at this guy, he thinks he can fight!" Leiko screeched. "David, take care of this guy,"
In the crowd of lackies, a tall and large guy came to the front and prepared to fight Luke. Luke threw a punch at the guy, only to find that his fist had been caught by David. David then kicked Luke in the chest, causing him to fly into a shelf of books by a classroom. As Luke then got up, the bell went, and David then said, "We'll finish this at break,"
Harvey approached Luke and helped him up, and the two entered the classroom.
"Should I tell someone?" Harvey asked.
"No, I'll finish this myself, and hopefully me winning will make them realise that we are not people to be picked on," Luke replied, and they took their seats.
"Okay, "The teacher said, and everybody got out their textbooks."Did I say anything else? Put them away, I've booked the battlefield, so come on,"
Everybody put away their books and headed out to the battlefield with the teacher.
"Okay, we are going to be testing the effectiveness of stat changingmoves in the outcome of a battle, compared to one with only special of physical moves," The teacher explained. "There are 2 fields, so one will fight with stat changing moves, and the other won't. Harvey and Meg, you will fight on the stat field, Luke and Noah, you will fight on the non stat field,"
"Why are they fighting and not us?" A student asked.
"Because they were the best fighters in the match yesterday done by a different teacher,". The teacher explained.
"How'd you know that?" Harvey asked.
"I asked that very teacher to find out who would perform the best for this experiment to get the most effective results," The teacher said.
Harvey, once again, chose a Charmander, and Luke chose a Cyndaquil.
"Begin!"
Harvey's Battle
"Charmander, use growl!" Harvey yelled.
Charmander growled so loudly that it caused the foe's Pokemon, a Munchlax, to back away, frightened.
"Munchlax, Quick Attack, now!" The Foe yelled, and the Munchlax struck Charmander with incredible speed, but it didn't do as much damage as it should have done.
"Growl, lowers attack, nice!" The teacher yelled.
"Charmander, smokescreen!" Harvey yelled, and Charmander fired a ball of smoke at the foe's Pokemon, causing it to blindly walk around.
"Munchlax, thunderbolt!" The Foe yelled.
Due to Munchlax not being able to see, he fired the bolt of pure electricity into the sky.
"Charmander, Double Team!"Harvey yelled, and Charmander split into 5, no, 100, no , 1000 copies and ran towards Munchlax.
"Munchlax, Thunderbolt!" The foe yelled, and Munchlax fired bolts of lightning at the Charmander's.
Once he had hit them all, there were no left.#
"What?" The foe yelled.
"Flamethrower!" Harvey yelled.
Munchlax looked confused, until a blast of fire hit him in the back, causing him to faint.
"Harvey wins!" The teacher yelled.
"What?!" The foe yelled.
"While you were focusing on all the copies, the real Charmander got behind Munchlax, and made him faint," Harvey explained.
The two shook hands, and everybody else recorded results.
Luke's Battle
"Begin!".
"Cyndaquil, use Ember!" Luke yelled, and Cyndaquil fired a ball of flaming magma at the Mareep, causing it to crash to the floor.
"Mareep, use spark!" The Foe yelled, and the Mareep fired a bolt of yellow lightning at Cyndaquil.
"Dodge it!" Luke Boomed.
Cyndaquil jumped up in the air, just as the bolt hit him, causing him to shoot further in the air, and land on the floor with a crash. Cyndaquil had fainted.
"Mareep wins!"
Luke made Cyndaquil made Cyndaquil return, and shook hands with the foe. He walked to the area of people that weren't doing anything, and met up with Harvey.
"Better luck next time," Harvey said, patting Luke on the back.
"So, looking at the results, it seems it would be better to use stat moves, but anyway, class dismissed." The teacher said, and everybody left the field and entered the grounds.
Harvey and Luke met up with Ash and Serena, and Luke told Ash about the fight.
"Don't fight, you letting them get to you, and that David is very powerful, so he will hurt you so bad," Ash warned, but Luke didn't listen.
"You underestimate me, and I want them to know that they can't mess with us," Luke said.
"Well, well, well," Leiko and David said.
"Are we gonna fight then?" Luke asked.
"David picked up Luke, and to everybody's surprise, pulled him above his head and went outside, and finally threw him onto the concrete.
Arrrrggggghhhh!
"Now we fight," David yelled.
Luke threw a punch at David, and he caught the fist and punched Luke. Luke kicked David in the stomach, but due to his size, he didn't feel it very much. David then kicked Luke in the stomach, causing immense pain. David then grabbed Luke and put him in a headlock.
"Go to sleep..." He said.
Luke was suffocating. He couldn't breathe. He was going to pass out. He had one option.
"Choriki Henshin!"
David was blasted away, and Luke shined gold for a while until his Kingranger suit came on.
"What...the...hell..." David thought, and he tried to punch Luke, but his new power gave him more strength, and he blocked the punch, and delivered one back. He flew backwards, clearly hurt.
"Fight better!" Leiko demanded.
"He's strong, GET OFF MY BACK!" David boomed, and he charged at Luke, who jumped and flipped in the air, and kicked David in the back while he ran past him.
Clearly hurt and tired, David put his hands up in surrender and said, "I give up,"
Luke de-morphed, and left the area. People were all around the area, and looked shocked and amazed at Luke's power.
When Luke got to Harvey, Ash and Serena, he told them what happened, Harvey was outraged.
"You have shown your powers! Now people will be flooding us, because of our powers!" He boomed.
"Sorry," Luke said quietly.
"In order to stop ourselves from being flooded, there is one option," Harvey said.
"What?" Luke asked.
"Leave the school," Harvey said.
"Leave as in bunk off or literally quit?" Ash questioned.
"Quit," Harvey replied.
"What, we're not leaving," Serena said.
"No, you're not understanding, only me and Luke would quit," Harvey explained.
"Oh," Serena said, looking at the floor.
"That doesn't sound bad, but after 2 days," Luke said.
"Come on, I don't want to be driven insane," Harvey moaned, and as he said that, a group, no, a swarm of people spotted Luke and ran after him. In order to not be trampled, Harvey, Ash and Serena had to run. Luke stopped the main exit door, and everybody followed, with the swarm not too far behind.
As exhaust started to kick in, the swarm approached. Luke kicked the front door down, and sprinted out, with the swarm not noticing that they were no longer on the school grounds. Luke and everybody else ran round a corner, exhausted.
"Woah," Harvey panted.
"Yeah, woah," Luke said. "Ash, Serena, get back into the school through another exit, me and Harvey aren't going back, ever," Luke said, and they split up. Harvey and Luke just went to a restaurant for Lunch, and were going to spend the afternoon there. Harvey ordered a burger, and Luke ordered a steak.
"Where are you gonna get the money from?" Luke asked.
Harvey smiled, and clicked his fingers, and green flames appeared by his fingers, and eventually formed Pokedollars.
"How do you do that?" Luke asked.
"I dunno, just an ability I got when we were sent here," Harvey said, and as he said that, their food arrived, and Luke licked his lips hungrily.
Luke tucked in quickly, and Harvey, surprised by his eagerness, looked at him for a few seconds, and started eating as well. People at other tables started looking at Luke, and looked as if he had been starved for a couple of weeks.
"Damn, eat slower, you're putting me of MY food," Harvey said.
Luke looked up and said, "Whoops, sorry,"
After they had eaten, which took about 2 hours (including dessert), they paid the bill and left, and took a slow walk back home. When they arrived, Ash had already arrived, but Senrena had to go home straight away.
"Finally back are we?" Delia said.
"What, we've been gone for 2 hours," Harvey replied.
"Umm, no you haven't, Ash said you left the school at 12:00, and it's 6:00," Delia explained.
"WHAT!" Luke boomed.
"Yup," Ash said, walking into the room.
"Well, either way, I'm tired, so I'm going to bed," Harvey said.
"Me too," Luke added.
They both walked into the living room and dozed off on the couch.
5 hours later
Above Ash's House
"It's invisible, right?"
"Yes,"
"Circuits engaged,"
"Sweet,"
"These guys really are cool,"
"I know, and I really do KNOW why, that obvious how,"
"Now, one last hop and we can go,"
"3,2,1, go!"
All was calm in Pallet Town, Ash and the gang, good as ever. But this will change. Will they continue to combat the evil, or will they crumble? Will Harvey and Luke be able to continue staying in Kanto, fine and untouched? Find out in later chapters!
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and the next one will be about 3,000 words, not 4,000. The next two chapters are a split one. Harvey and Luke go somewhere, and Ash and Serena somewhere else. Chapter 7 is what Ash and Serena are doing, but 8 is Harvey and Luke. They go one at the same time, and they both start and end in the same way.
