Chapter 9: Difference in Power
It was five in the afternoon, and was time for the dorm dinner. Every student and staff are going to be there. It was obvious that there were going to be battles at the main training ground, and not for nothing, I would not mind watching some of them; to see how powerful the seniors are. Draco, the dorm master of the Suicune dorm, my dorm master, seemed powerful. Maybe every dorm master is powerful.
Silk, my roommate, and I, began walking to the main lobby where we are too meet up with Kasumi and her roommate. It wasn't a long walk, since the dorm lobby was only three doors down from my room.
In the lobby, I saw Kasumi sitting down on a couch next to another girl. Her green eyes matched her hair in color that was done up in a ponytail with a green ribbon. She wore a white tank top and a super short blue skirt. On her feet was a pair of white and green sneakers.
"Hey Mezuki! Hey Silk!" Kasumi waved at the two of us. Her roommate smiled at us. "This is my friend Wynn Kazimaki. She is from the Sinnoh region."
Wynn waved her hand like Kasumi. "Hey guys. She looked down, say hi Ranmaru."
Ranmaru? I did not see anyone else around.
"Okay!" It was a Pokémon speaking from underneath Wynn. After a few wiggles from underneath the couch, it appeared.
It was a short, chubby, rodent-like Pokémon with yellow fur all over its body. It's ears were long and came to a point with black tips. It's small mouth resembled a sideways three. It had black eyes and two red circles on its cheeks. Its forearms were short and somewhat stubby. It had two brown stripes on its back, and its tail is in the shape of Zigzag-styled lightning bolt, with a patch of brown fur at the base of the tail. I knew exactly what this Pokémon breed was. It was a a Pikachu.
Pikachu, or Ranmaru waved at me. It was a cute little creature, but powerful when properly trained. I went up against plenty of Pikachus in my life, and even though electricity does not do much damage to rock types, they have a great attack pool that can become dangerous sometimes. However, I am not the type of trainer to use small agile Pokémon, but powerful and durable Pokémon that can take hits and still be able to fight with little to no changes. Like in my battle against Brad. He might have had the type advantage, but Rhydon had enough durability to last enough to defeat two steel types.
"Lets start going." Kasumi said as she and Wynn got up from the couch. The five of us began to move; I decided to count Ranmaru as one of us because he was walking along until Wynn picked him up in her arms.
We went to the auditorium, where we saw more students. Some were walking around, and others were just sitting around and chatting. I just noticed that Kasumi and Wynn were reading similar papers.
"What is it that your reading?" I asked.
Kasumi, without even looking at me answered, "Its the map of the school. You should have grabbed on when you were in your room. As far as I can tell, all rooms have two maps; one for each student."
I saw that Silk was also had a map of the school. I guess I missed it while I was in the room.
"Through that door, should b e the hallway that leads to the cafeteria." Kasumi stated.
I looked at the door; I didn't notice it when we first entered the auditorium earlier today. Now that I think about it, there were three other doors that I did not see and a staircase that led up to another floor.
We walked through the door that Kasumi pointed to. Wynn and Kasumi seemed to be endlessly talking, while Silk and I, were like two trees in a forest that stood next to eachother. Always near eachother, yet not talking to one another.
It took us less than a minute to reach the cafeteria. It was large, but not as big as the auditorium. It had over thirty tables that were places in a rectangular pattern, with a empty space in the center. The tables were all made out of a nice fine wood and he walls were white. The school's crest was designed on a flag and hung from the center of the room. It the white walls complemented its beautiful design.
In back of the serving counter, was another room that I was sure to be the kitchen. It was most likely an exotic kitchen since the rest of the academy seemed to be like a five star hotel.
We walked to the far side of the cafeteria and walked through the doors.
We entered a large field; it extended beyond what I can see. It was so peaceful with the bright sun shining down upon it. I saw mountains on the northern side, and a huge lake a few hundred yards. But like I said, I saw no ending to the field.
After three minutes following Kasumi's directions, we entered a field with a different colored grass. Instead of the natural green color; it was a dark blue color. The dark blue grass entended about a hundred yard radius; and was filled with dozens of grills and coolers and hundreds of students There were more people here than on the train I took to get to goldenrod city.
"We're here guys." Wynn informed the obvious.
The smell of grilled steak and ribs filled the air around us. I just hope that the school had enough food to cover everyone here for atleast three servings.
Wynn looked around; "Wow, so many people here. I wonder if anyone plans on having a battle since we are all here. I think its allowed because there must be staff around."
I looked at Silk, who hasn't said a word since we left the dorm. He seemed tensed for some reason. One goal for the year is too break his shy shell.
"Excuse me students." Said someone behind us.
We all turned to an adult with a bushy brown beard that wore a cloak similar to those of Headmistress Kocho, the vice minister Henry Cold, and the Dean of Students, Abraham Bagswell. The difference between his and theirs was that instead of a black cloak, it was a dark purple. Maybe there is a diffence in terms of power in the school based on the color of the cloak. His posture made him look clumsy and his face expression made him look dull.
He continued, "I am William Highsmith; the environmental intructor of this school. You can just call be Mister Highsmith. I hope that your time here during the dinner cookout is pleasing. If you have any questions; feel free to ask. The only thing that I must ask is if you decide to summon your Pokémon, to limit it only to one to prevent over crowding."
"Okay, thanks Mister Highsmith." I said, being polite." The four of us, and Ranmaru was was falling asleep in Wynn's arms, began to walk into the crowd.
"Hey Mezuki," Kasumi said, "Lets summon one of our Pokémon. I am going to summon Warturtle, who are you going to summon?"
I wondered who I should summon. Aerodactyl is still on time-out due to his behavior, and Rhydon should still be exhausted because of his recent battle a few hours ago. Cranidos will have the urge to start battles that may be a nuisance at the moment. Tirtouga is most likely sleeping by now, since he is still a baby and needs his nap time. Onix is way to big for me to let her out and there is barely any room around for her to have full mobility. I do not want to let Geodude or Lunatone out because I just recently caught them. I'd rather not have them in cramp places with too many humans before I get to know them better. My only choice is simple and my closest Pokémon.
I took out a Pokéball from my waist belt. I pressed the center button, expanding the ball, and released what was held inside. I summoned Tyranitar.
I saw Ranmaru flinch when he saw him. Tyranitar stood more than ten times the size of the Pikachu. Wynn snuggled Ranmaru more to ensure that nothing bad will happen. He calmed down.
"Hey Tyranitar, welcome to the academy." I smiled, looking at his face while he looked around and saw all of the space and Pokémon that surrounded him.
"Mezuki," He said, "I know that you won't be able to properly respond to me, but this school has a lot of space. Roaming this area will be good for the rest of your Pokémon. All we need to do is make sure that they don't cause any trouble."
I nodded my head in agreement; still hiding the fact that I can talk to Pokémon. Kasumi summoned Warturtle as she said she would. I looked at Silk, and notice he didn't summon anything. "Hey Silk, why don't you summon one of your Pokémon? Let it get some fresh air."
He took out a Pokéball with hesitation and looked at it for a moment. "Okay... go Beedrill." A smaller than average Beedrill was summoned. We all just stared at it. It was not making any noise whatsoever, even with his wings moving quickly. Just like its owner, it was a hesitant being. So Silk is a bug type trainer. It fits him right.
"He is so cute!" Kasumi cheerfully said.
"Its a girl..." Silk stated, making Kasumi become dumbfounded. We all continued to walk.
We soon arrived at a table full of food. All types of meat that existed in the world seemed to be on this one table. On the side was another table full of PokéBlocks. We all ate, including the Pokémon. After another two hours of talking about random topics, with Silk being quiet, and walking around the field seeing all sorts of Pokémon, the sun began to set.
"Well, that was a great dinner!" Wynn said, "Can't wait for the next one. Maybe the cafeteria food is just as good as this."
Ranmaru agreed with a smile.
Everyone found a group that they fit into, even though it is the first day of school. I'm glad that I found my small group of friends, and possibly find more.
Suddenly, a small explosion occured deeper into the field. Everyone got quiet. Then loud cheering occured. What was happening? What was that noise?"
"Let's go check it out." Wynn suggested. And We did.
Even though we struggled to get to the origin of the noise, we did it. In front of us was a large Pokémon battle field. It was a plain field with a few rocks that had white painting around it distinguishing itself as a battle field.
There were two trainers on each side of the field. On the left side was a young trainer. He was definately not a freshmen because he already had the school's blazer; so from my perception, was a sophmore. On the right side, was a trainer that I have battled earlier today... Brad. By the looks of it, he was picking on a weaker trainer as before. His smile told me that he was on the winning side of the battle. He had his Aagron summoned, who seemed to be doing fine since its earlier defeat. The other trainer, had a Nuzleaf has his Pokémon. Nuzleaf seemed to be exhausted going up against the metallic wall.
"Nuzleaf, attack with magical leaf!" The trainer ordered. The leaf on top of Nuzleaf's head turned a purple color as it swung its head. A second leaf was thrown frizby like towards Aggron.
"Aggron, repel it with iron tail, then use takedown." Aggron, with a single swing, changed the path of the leaf and sent it into the sky, where it had dispersed. The iron wall began charging at the Nuzleaf.
The Nuzleaf was too tired to dodge, and was toppled over by Aggron, causing it to go unconcious.
People cheered at the victory of the bully. I saw Norma standing in the background looking at the treatment that Brad gave the sophmore that he had just recently gave her at the Suicune's training field.
"Aren't we going to battle Mezuki?" Tyranitar asked.
I placed a right hand on his arm. It wasn't to make him feel better, but for me. "Earlier today, I battled him with Rhydon because he was picking on another freshmen. Rhydon was able to take on two of his Pokémon. I could do it again. Should I though?"
"It is your choice, and you know I have always agreed with your decisions."
I thought about it for a second, then got Rhydon's Pokéball out and began walking to take the place of the sophmore to show Brad once again why he shouldn't pick on weaker trainers.
A hand grabbed my left shoulder. I turned to see that the hand belonged to Draco; the dorm master of my dorm.
He spoke, "Trust me, you do not want to embarrass yourself in front of all these people."
What is he talking about? I could defeat Brad Shipley, I did it once before. It was today when I did it. How much training could Brad had possibly get within a few hours.
"What do you mean? I beat Brad today. And I could do it again."
Draco had let go of my shoulder. "Your Pokémon and not yet ready to defeat Brad just yet. Maybe in a few months if you keep up the good work. As of right now, you are still not a powerful trainer. Just don't do it too yourself. Keep your battling range within the freshmen and sophmores."
Did he not see the battle with me and Brad? I withdrew my Pokéball into my pocket, following the orders of my dorm master. I was disappointed that I was not allowed to have a rematch with Brad.
"Sorry Mezuki, but there is a difference of power between the freshmen and the upperclassmen. However, you are a strong trainer; don't get me wrong. You are probably the best freshmen of our dorm, and could defeat most of the sophmores. You still have a lot to learn." Draco looked at his hand. Then looked back up at me. "Don't worry, you will have your rematch with Brad. The Elemental Academy Tournament is coming up in two months. Four members of each dorm will be allowed to participate in the tournament. All you need to do is to be one of the four members of the Suicune dorm to qualify."
So soon? I thought to myself.
"There will be a preliminary tournament prior to the main tournament to see which members will go on. Keep training your Pokémon and get stronger." He began walking away in a cool posture. "See you later."
I watched him. He was definately the dorm master. I want to battle him one day before he graduates. I turned to Brad, who had just finish defeating another Pokémon. I will beat you Brad. I don't know why Draco said that their is a difference of power between the two of us. If there was, I am the higher between the difference. I was sure of it; unless he has a much more powerful Pokémon in his possession.
"Mezuki, I want my battle right here and now!" That voice.
I turned. I couldn't believe it who it was. I never knew that he attended the Elemental Academy.
Things are going to get interesting now isn't it? I saw Tyranitar's face. He smiled at the upcoming event. I did as well.
I personally do not like this chapter. I think there was too little action and mainly speaking. But i needed to add some detail. Sorry guys. However, next chapter will be a little more exciting, I promise.
