Pokemorph Academy
Hey guys, It's me Akkionn250 here with Chapter 7 of Pokemorph Academy. This chapter will be a special one as the day this chapter is uploaded, which is Friday, January 29, a very good friend of mine, Anonymous Trainer, turns 16, which means Stryker will be having a birthday in this chapter. This chapter will also have a story scene. But enough of me talking, On with the Story!
Aresa was happily walking down the hall when she noticed Akkionn, Ariana, Carlos and Hazel walking towards her slumped down like they're in pain.
"Let me guess, Mr. Ignateous?" Aresa asked as the four said yes.
"He was a monster." Carlos said. "He took on all thirteen students and destroyed us in little time." Akkionn added. "That Mega he had." Ariana also said. "Nothing worked with that Ability." Hazel said.
"Yeah I know your trouble, but a little less, Stryker and I actually somehow defeated him. Speaking of Stryker guess what today is?" Aresa told them then asked.
"No clue." "I don't know." "I have no idea." "Got nothing." Was their responses, Aresa only giggled.
"It's his BIRTHDAY!" She said the last part really loud. "That's cool." Akkionn said. "Yeah but, you see, Stryker didn't really have the best childhood." Aresa told them.
"How?" Hazel asked. "Stryker watched both his parents die in front of him at the age of ten." Aresa replied sadly.
"Seriously?" The four asked her. "Yes, the story went like this."
(Flashback 7-8 years ago)
The two of us lived in Asperita Town. The growing town was famous for the powerful trainers that had settled there, for its quiet and scenic landscape. One such house beside my house belonged to such powerful trainers.
The house was small but big enough to support a family of three. After entering the house one can see the pictures framed in the house that adorn the corridor.
The first of such photos shows two trainers, one male and one female, the latter clutching the formers hand cheerfully, with the former being embarrassed slightly about it.
The second one shows the male trainer from before proposing to the female trainer and two being wed. The next few images hold the precious moments shared by the two, until a baby is seen being held in the woman's hand with the man beside her, while smiling.
As the corridor which leads to the backyard, ends, you could see that the final pictures show the growth of the boy till teenage years with his loving parents.
The cries of a boy playing with a pokemon came into earshot gradually, and a boy was seen training a young Riolu in the backyard. He shouted a command to the emanation pokemon, "Riolu try a Force Palm again!"
The Riolu dashes towards it target, a block on stone and his palm begins to glow a little as it gets ready to use to attack. The pokemon yells and attacks the block of stone with a Force Palm, but does little effect. Instead of the intended force that was to push the block quite a distance, it moves only a couple of inches.
The Riolu, disappointed, hangs its head down, but after a cheering from its trainer, "Come on Riolu! I know you can do it! Just a little more practice!", it gets ready with renewed strength to perfect its Force Palm.
The Riolu gets back in its position awaiting the command from the boy, which he gave, "Riolu, use Force Pa-".
He was interrupted by a masked man holding a hand over his mouth and holding a knife to his throat. The boy struggled to get out of the situation but he was nothing against the strength of the man.
The Riolu voices its defiance and charged to attack the man that threatened the boy.
The man intending to rob the boy of his pokemon was amused by the weak Riolu's attempt to stop him as he brought forth a pokemon of his own, a Darmanitan.
Meanwhile the boy's parents had arrived at home. Hearing the commotion and quickly head to the backyard. They were shocked at the scene that lied in front of them. The boy's Riolu had fainted and the boy himself was still in the grip of the man.
The boy seeing his parents called out to them and his father told him, "Everything will be alright, don't worry!" The man holding the boy at knifepoint demanded them, "Give me your pokemon or the boy gets it!"
The boy's parents were clearly faced with a hard decision. The man grew impatient and yelled to them, "Seems like you guys didn't get the gravity of my demand! I will make it clear to you!" And in rage and anger the man slashed the knife against the boy's back.
The boy's father fuming because of the outrageous act done by the pokemon thief, send out a pokemon, a Gallade and commanded it to take out the looming Darmanitan as the boy's mother went to get her son back.
The pokemon thief watches as the situation goes out of his control and recalled his fainted Darmanitan and unleashed his most powerful pokemon. The beast now out of its pokeball was revealed to be a Gigalith.
The man, now overcame with rage, not thinking clearly, unleashed his wrath, "Use Explosion!" and subsequently, the Gigalith began glowing, charging itself for the big bang.
The boy's father knew that it could deal tremendous damage to not only his Gallade but also to his family, called out one last command to his Gallade, "Protect!" while pointing at his son, knowing that Gallade couldn't save them all.
The pokemon itself, in the blink of an eye moves in front of the boy and forms a barrier.
The Gigalith executes the attack and faints. The blast killed the boy's parents with the boy watching the scene unfold before his own eyes.
The man himself though, was just knocked out. Fleeing from the scene, he gives one last look towards the boy and Gallade standing protectively in front of him.
The boy broke down, and began crying besides the dead bodies of his parents, hoping for them to come back and prove his father's words- Everything will be alright, don't worry.
Aresa continued the sad tale, "A woman, my mother, having heard the blast heads through the wreckage of the once cozy house and approached the him and Gallade".
The woman glances at the scene in front of her trying to compel what could have happened there.
The Gallade sensing another person approaching, turned to face her in an attack stance, but on recognizing the familiar lady he moved aside.
My mother quickly walked beside the sniffling boy's side and knelt down to be at his level. Sensing his grief, she hugged him while consoling him, "Sh-sh, it's okay. "
The boy cried more and starts hiccupping. My mother stood him up and lead the boy outside. The Gallade gazed at the charred body of his once kind trainer and took his own pokeball which was the only one present on the man's belt. It later followed the boy and the lady outside.
The boy was still crying and a bit surprised when the Gallade handed him his pokeball and looked at him hopefully and nodded before pressing the button, getting sucked in acknowledging the boy as his new trainer.
The boy stopped crying as a sense of understanding washed over him. My mother lead the quiet boy over to her house which had the name 'Laseals'.
My mother took him inside and explained the situation to her husband, my father, while her 9 year old daughter, me, watched on quietly from behind a door.
My family being really great friends with his parents, agreed to take him in.
"Scott, " My mother spook to him, "Would you like to be a part of our family?", to which the boy quietly replied yes.
(End Flashback)
"His real name is Scott?" Akkionn asked. "Yes, also the reason Stryker or Scott doesn't trust people much is because the person responsible for his parents death was his uncle." Aresa replied as every stared at her in shock.
"Why?" Hazel asked. "Because my uncle was bribed by Team Plasma to get my parents' powerful pokemon." Stryker said walking around the corner in anger, scaring everyone especially Aresa.
"He wanted to take their pokemon, but my father overpowered his Darmanitan in a single move, then in his rage and certain demise, my uncle killed them." He added clenching his fist before punching the wall cracking it.
"Scott?" Aresa asked concerned for her boyfriend. "Aresa, I know it's my birthday, but I would like to be left alone for a while." Stryker said walking away.
(Time skip 2 hours. Location Roof)
"Mom, dad, if you are listening, I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough, if I had been stronger none of this would've happened, I had and still have the chance to save you two, but who knows what will happen if I do, everything will change, again I'm sorry." Stryker said as one small tear fell from his eye and blew off in the wind.
"I should be going back now, everyone might be worried about me." Stryker said as he left the roof and went to his and Aresa's room, the Green Team Dorm.
When he entered he saw Akkionn, Ariana, Carlos and Hazel with Aresa holding a cake with eighteen lit candles in a circle and said 'Happy 18th Birthday Scott' in bold navy blue letters.
The five of them started singing, "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Scott, Happy Birthday to you."
Stryker was overwhelmed by the emotional rush, but composed himself and in slight happiness, blew out the candles after Aresa took it back to the kitchen and came back with a slice of cake, the flavour was chocolate.
"Here you go." Aresa said giving Scott the plate and kissing him on the cheek. After everyone had a slice of cake they went on to presents. Aresa was the only one to get him something because she was the only one who knew when his birthday was and what he likes.
"Happy Birthday Scott." Aresa said giving him a medium size box. When he opened the box he took out the contents inside to show everyone. Aresa had given him a Mega ring with a Keystone and a Lucarionite as well as a locket in the shape of a clock.
Scott opened the locket and was surprised to see what was inside, one was a picture of Aresa while the other one was the last picture he had taken with his parents before the day they had died.
"Where did you find this?" Stryker asked. "My mom helped me search through the wreckage of your house at night and we found that one photo and I waited a few years for it to be restored so I could give it to you." Aresa said as Stryker stood up with water in his eyes, which rarely happened, walked over to Aresa, hugged her then grabbed her by the shoulders and kissed her on the lips. "Awwww!" Ariana and Hazel said as Stryker and Aresa separated.
"Thank you so much." Stryker said to Aresa as the Blue Team left the room to head back to their dorm.
"Goodnight you two!" Ariana shouted from down the hall. "Same to you!" Aresa shouted back.
(Time Skip ten minutes. Location Blue Team Dorm)
"Where were you four?" Star asked as the group walked in. "Green Team Dorm celebrating Scott's birthday." Akkionn replied. "Oh it was his birthday? I will wish him later." Vex said smirking as he watch the four go into their rooms.
"What are you planning?" Star asked him. "You'll see Star." Vex replied. "You'll see in the morning." He added while laughing.
And that's it for Chapter 7.
Anyways Happy Birthday Anonymous Trainer and thank you for everything you've done to help me, from Beta-Reading my stories to giving me 7 different OCs, again Thank-You.
