Part 10 of the Pokémon Academy series… yes, this is it, this is the last part, so say farewell to the craziness that goes on the Academy while Zoey and Dawn were around. XP Like I mentioned before, this is a supplementary part, and it will revolve around the memories Dawn had before she and Zoey were finally together in terms of relationship… XP
This also has a comic version, which can be viewed here: avegaille./art/The-Gym-Battle-Episode-75555875
Warning: Oh yeah, all the events that you are about to read here are supposed to be assumptions of the author, meaning, what the author wished would have happened during that certain episode, so be warned. These never happened in the actual episodes btw, so yeah. Might also contain a lot of OOC-ness. XP

One week had passed since Zoey and Dawn left the Pokémon Academy in Rustboro City in order to continue their journey through the Hoenn region. Since then, majority of the students of the Academy had been looking forward to any contests Dawn entered which is shown in their Pokémon Coordinating Class. Roxanne is back to her usual teaching self and resumes class as usual but two of her students can't seem to get over the fact of Zoey and Dawn leaving the Academy for a long time.
It was lunchtime when Avegaille and Nicole May were out in the garden, eating their lunch under the tree shades while their Pokémon were playing in the garden. Avegaille could not help but wonder if Nicole May knew something that she didn't know. She was still regretting the day that she fell asleep while Zoey and Dawn bid their farewell. All she had to remember them was a photo album that Zoey gave to her, which was the same album she used in attempt of blackmailing Zoey for Dawn's sake. Nicole May noticed that Avegaille was quietly looking through the pages of the album and thought of a good way to entertain Avegaille.
"Hey Avegaille," Nicole May called as she tapped Avegaille's shoulder.
"Huh? What?" Avegaille turned around as she looked at Nicole May curiously.
"If there's anything you want to know about any coordinator, you can ask me you know…" Nicole May said as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Oh really? Then, tell me stories about Zoey pretty please?" Avegaille pleaded as she started to laugh.
"About Zoey?" Nicole May pretended to look skeptically at Avegaille, even if she already knew Avegaille wanted to talk about Zoey.
"Yeah, I'll bet Dawn told you a lot of things about Zoey that could never be revealed to the public or something similar to that," Avegaille insisted as she looked at Nicole May excitedly.
"All right, all right… let's see… there was this time when…"
.-.-.-.-
Dawn told me so many interesting things about Zoey… one of them was while she was in Veilstone City. It was Dawn's first time to actually participate in a Gym Battle and during that time, she was traveling with her friends Ash and Brock. After Dawn got out of the Veilstone Gym and lost to Maylene, she saw Zoey right in front of the door, and it seems that Zoey seemed so mad. During that time, Zoey had a grudge against people who compete in Contests and Gym Battles, although that somehow subsided during the Wallace Cup.
"…Just what you were doing in there?" Zoey asked furiously as she pointed at the Veilstone Gym's door. "Don't tell me you had a gym battle!"
"Uum, no, of course not!" Dawn replied nervously as she sweat-dropped. Although, on the back of her mind, she really did took part in a gym battle. "Why would you think I actually participated in a gym battle?"
"Then, if you didn't have a gym battle… don't tell me you and Maylene… did 'something' in there!" Zoey declared as she looked at Dawn suspiciously.
Dawn could not help but to fall over the ground and sweat-drop after she heard Zoey's accusation while Zoey stared at Dawn innocently after that.
.-.-.-.-
"Oh man, I wish I could have been there when that happened!" Avegaille remarked as she continued laughing while Nicole May sighed as she tried to remember the other stories Dawn told her while she was assigned as Dawn's assistant for a week. Then, Avegaille calmed down as she looked at Nicole May curiously. "Oh, Nicole May, is there a story involving Zoey and Dawn in which both of them were trapped in a room?"
"…Do you even want to know that?" Nicole May muttered as she stared at Avegaille blankly. Then, she sighed as she saw how Avegaille was willing to listen. "Very well then, this happened at the Lake Valor Resort…"
.-.-.-.-
At this point of time, Zoey and Dawn meets May for the first time. Dawn couldn't believe that she was meeting one of her favorite coordinators in person. As for Zoey, she and May got along nicely, as both of them wanted to help out Dawn with her little problem. All the three of them were all fired up for the Wallace Cup. It seems that the three of them decided to have a little slumber party in Dawn's room at the resort the night after the first-time meeting. While having a chat on their journeys through the Sinnoh region, the three of them heard a rather strange noise. May quickly got out of the room, and while rushing to the room where the noise came from, she accidentally bumped into a ladder near their room. The ladder started wobbling and fell in front of the door where Zoey and Dawn are, which made the door quite impossible to open from the inside.
"Oh crap, it won't open!" Zoey groaned as she tried pushing the door, but the door just won't budge.
"Whaa, we can't be stuck in here forever, now can we?" Dawn whined as she started hugging Zoey while cowering in fear. "I don't want to die!"
All of Dawn's Pokémon started staring at her as Dawn realized that she was going beyond the limit and Zoey couldn't say anything and only stared at Dawn blankly while blushing. Then, Dawn quickly released Zoey as she turned away from Zoey while blushing.
"That was… quaint…" Zoey muttered to herself as she continued pushing the door to open but it still wouldn't open.
Then, Dawn stood behind her as she also helped in pushing the door open. As both of them continued pushing the door open, the door quickly opened through another force, making Zoey and Dawn lose their balance and both of them fell down on the floor, with Dawn landing on Zoey's back. In front of them were May, Ash and Brock, who were standing in front while staring at them with blank looks, which Dawn noticed immediately upon looking up.
"What, what's wrong?" Dawn asked nervously as she sweat-dropped.
"Dawn… get off… of me, please?" Zoey groaned as she tried to bear the pain from Dawn's weight.

Avegaille couldn't stop laughing after hearing the story while Nicole May stared at her blankly. Then, as Avegaille continued laughing, Roxanne slowly approached them as she sat down on the grass with the two students. Nicole May wondered what Roxanne wanted, knowing it's very rare for Roxanne to join her students during lunch time. As Avegaille stopped laughing, she noticed Roxanne and looked at her teacher curiously.
"Oh Miss Roxanne, Nicole May was just telling stories about Zoey and Dawn… do you have some to share?" Avegaille asked as she tried to control her laughter.
"Actually… I don't…" Roxanne replied as she sweat-dropped upon hearing what her students were doing. "I'm here because I was getting bored plus the fact that Bianca told me that I need to socialize with the students more…"
"…But Miss Roxanne, aren't you as sociable as it is?" Nicole May asked as she scratched her head.
"Doesn't matter, I'm pretty sure Miss Roxanne will enjoy hearing stories that Dawn told to you!" Avegaille interrupted, as she looked at Nicole May closer while Nicole May looked at her exasperatedly. "Come on, tell me one more story about Dawn and Zoey while they were—"
"While they were stuck inside an elevator!" Roxanne interrupted as Avegaille and Nicole May turned to her and stared at her blankly. Roxanne looked at them innocently and told them, "What? It could happen…"
"Noooo Miss Roxanne… while Zoey had a sprain!" Avegaille declared as she started laughing.
"What's so funny about that?" Nicole May muttered as she stared at Avegaille exasperatedly. Avegaille grinned innocently as she laughed nervously upon seeing Nicole May's reaction. "Although, there is actually an event like that… it all starts with…"
.-.-.-.-
Dawn was training with her Pokémon, while Ash and Brock were helping her out when a very familiar Glameow and Misdreavus approached them. As Dawn's Piplup and Ash's Pikachu picked upon what the two Pokémon in distress were saying, they started following the direction Glameow and Misdreavus were going through. Dawn, Ash and Brock quickly followed the Pokémon afterwards until they finally reached their destination. With much surprised, they saw Zoey sitting on the ground, and in a lot of pain.
"Zoey?" Dawn asked surprisingly as she quickly approached Zoey.
"Hey, Dawn…" Zoey muttered as she tried to hold on her sprained ankle. "Don't worry, this is nothing… just a little sprain."
"Whaaa, Zoey, what were you doing?" Dawn asked anxiously as she started searching on her backpack for something to help Zoey. As she looked inside her bag, all she found was some things for her hygiene plus a bar of chocolate and a can of soda. "Oh crud, how am I suppose to help with Zoey with this stuff?"
"Don't worry Zoey, I have all the things you need to get your sprained ankle better!" Brock declared as he took out some pain relievers, ointment and bandages while he held them up in the air. "All you have to do is say your undying love for me!"
"…What the? I already told you Brock, I'm not interested…" Zoey muttered as she groaned while slowly shaking her head. Zoey could not help but to think about how she's not interested in any guy, at all.
"What? But… but… but… you know that you can I can get along very well! I'll be your slave and…" Brock declared as Ash, his Pikachu and Dawn's Piplup tried to restrain him while Brock continued ranting. Dawn was staring at Brock nervously while Zoey sighed exasperatedly at the scene.
"Pedophile…" Zoey muttered to herself as Brock continued ranting while Ash and the Pokémon helped in restraining him.

"Oh shit, you reminded me of that pervert who comes here every September to flirt with me and then after that, the other female Gym Leaders of Hoenn… namely, Scott!" Roxanne exclaimed furiously as she folded her arms across her chest. "He hasn't been showing up recently though… thank goodness."
"I'm surely Avegaille's banstick plus Linole is enough to stop him from coming back…" Nicole May muttered as she groaned while recalling the events where one time Scott was desperately flirting Roxanne inside the girl's bathroom and scared all the women inside.
"Ehehe, I didn't know Zoey had some admirers aside from Dawn…" Avegaille remarked as she giggled nervously.
"Well now you know…" Nicole May muttered as she sighed. Then, she stared at both Avegaille and Roxanne seriously. "Oh yeah, Dawn told me something… Of all the stories she told me…"
"What?" Avegaille asked curiously as she looked at Nicole May closely.
"Of all the things Dawn told me, she told me that… none of them actually happened to her or Zoey… in terms of anime reality," Nicole May said apathetically as Avegaille and Roxanne stared at her blankly.
"I don't get it…" Avegaille muttered as she scratched her head. Then, she turned to Roxanne and looked at her teacher with curiosity. "Miss Roxanne, what about you?"
"Hey, don't look at me, I may be a teacher, but I have absolutely no idea what that means," Roxanne protested as she shrugged. Then, as she saw Avegaille's mischievous look, she started backing away slowly.
"People will never get it…" Nicole May muttered to herself as she watched Avegaille annoying Roxanne on different things and Roxanne tried to deny what Avegaille was saying.
