The Thing With Hajimes

Me: Okay! To clear a few things! BTW, this story is not supposed to go exactly along with SOA's story line. I tried to get some events in order and failed (Chapters 8 &9 are examples) so yeah. To make matters worst I don't own a SOA game so I can't play that and find all the little things...I have played it before, well parts of it. One of my cousins needed help...i remember each time I defeated a goon they would jump off the boat, it was stupid, then I had to save Keith's behind...but I do have Guardian Signs and I pretty much done with the game and my bro says I really good at captures (somewhere around 10 seconds is my best time I think, not counting easy captures that take only two to four loops that just takes me 2 – 7 seconds)...

SOA cast: *sweat drops*

GS (Guardian Signs) Cast: *sweat drops*

Me: I get it! Quit sweat dropping!

Kellyn: pokelover0ash does not own Pokemon

Me: Yay! I didn't have to remind you! You're hired! I've been wanting to get rid of that Disclaimer Dude for a while! He was being a little annoying...

Kellyn: um, thanks?

Keith: how much do you pay him?

Me: *sweat drops* um...nothing...

Karrie: no budget?

Me: was I supposed to have one?

Chapter 10: The New Kid

Kate woke up to the sound of Rythmi's yelling to wake up. It was the beginning of June now. It had been so many months since she last saw Kellyn. She had turned 15 on January 1, Kellyn had turned 15 on May 11. He always hated how she was older then him by a few months.

"Kate! It's about time!" exclaimed Rythmi as Kate sat up while in bed.

"Morning Rythmi," replied Kate.

"So how are those letters you got from sister?" asked Rythmi.

"My sister says that they're planning on buying a house in Almia." replied Kate.

"That's great!" replied Rythmi.

"Can I get changed now that you woke me up?" asked Kate.

"Oh, oh yes! I'm sorry!" replied Rythmi. Kate got changed and fixed her hair, then she walked back to where Rythmi was waiting.

"What has you all excited today?" asked Kate.

"This week we're supposed to get a new student!" replied Rythmi.

"Oh yeah," replied Kate.

"Everyone else is excited too!" said Rythmi.

"The new kid will have to take the Trial Of Courage, right?" asked Kate.

"Yep!" replied Rythmi, then she turned to the window over looking the front of the school. "Beautiful day, isn't it?"

"Yeah," replied Kate as she looked out the window.

"Let's go," said Rythmi and the two girls left. They went to class and took their seats, but Ms. April wasn't there yet, but everyone else was.

"Where's Ms. April?" asked Kate.

"I dunno." replied Keith. "But it looks like there's a new seat that's been put in since last time." Kate looked next to her to see a new desk that was empty, right next to her.

"At least the new kid won't have a guide that's afraid of ghosts this time." said Kate.

"Hey," protested Keith. He was about to say more but then their teacher came in.

"Good morning class," said Ms. April.

"Morning Ms. April," replied the class.

"I'm sorry I was a little late today, but the new student I talked to you about last week is here." said Ms. April. "Oh, and we're rearranging the seats today."

"Is it a boy or is it a girl?" asked a student.

"Is the student cute? Cool? Or look like a celebrity?" asked a female student.

"Did they do the same thing before?" asked Kate to Keith.

"Pretty much." replied Keith.

"Wonder if it will be a boy since the last one was a girl." said Rythmi.

"Alright, that's enough. I've led you into suspense long enough. Let's meet our newest member to the class. COME ON OUT!" said Ms. April and then the opened and slowly closed as a young nervous girl walked into the classroom. Kate gasped as she saw what looked like the spitting image of Kellyn, only in girl form. Rythmi was amused by Kate's reaction but Keith's interested her more. He put on a big dopy grin but his eyes gave away something else. Determination. Determination to not to let his real thoughts and feelings show. But why? "Now why don't you come up to the front of the class?" The brunette made her way as fast as she could while still walking. "Now, why don't you tell us a little about yourself? Maybe start with your name?"

"M-m-my name is Karrie Hajime, I am 13 years old, I'm turning 14 on August 5." replied the girl. Her last name had rung through Kate's head like a hundred bells chiming.

"HAJIME?" Kate let out by accident and startled the poor girl. "You're Kellyn's sister!" The girl, who's name we now know as Karrie, nodded.

"You must be Kate. Kellyn talks a lot about you. It is a pleasure to meet you." replied Karrie as she respectfully bowed to Kate.

"I take it you know Karrie, Kate, right?" asked Ms. April.

"Well, sort of. I've really never actually met her before. Her older brother, Kellyn, is my best friend and he has mentioned her a few times to me." replied Kate.

"Alright, I am going to go over the basics with Karrie. Keith, first, why are you smiling? Second, I need you and the other boys to help move the desks in a certain order. Rythmi and Kate, I'm putting you two in charge of the seating arrangement, but, I would like Karrie's desk to be placed next to Kate's, alright?" asked Ms. April.

"Yes Ms. April," replied Kate, Rythmi, and Keith. Soon Rythmi was ordering the boys around and Kate made sure that she didn't go too far while keeping an eye on her desk, and the new desk that would be Karrie's.

"Done." said Keith as he slouched back into his seat.

"Why did you put Karrie's desk next to yours?" asked Rythmi.

"Um...because it was either in between me and Kate or in between you and Kate, and you're kind of bossy and she seems to be really nervous and possibly shy, and you might just scare her or make her uncomfortable." replied Keith while his face turned red.

"And you wouldn't? May I remind you that you have a very loud mouth and have a tendency to speak before thinking?" asked Rythmi.

"Ah, good thinking Keith, grouping those who want to be Rangers together." said Ms. April. "Alright class, everyone take a seat. Karrie, you can sit in between Kate and Keith, okay?" Karrie nodded and sat down. Kate noticed that Karrie had a long braid that went down to the middle of her back in place of Kellyn's spiky hair. She was shorter than Kate by an good inch or so.

"Rythmi, I would like you to take Karrie on a tour of the school since you did so well last time, but it might be best if I just have Kate go and show her around." said Ms. April.

"Why not send both of us? I mean, I'm not to sure I'm quite ready to give a tour since it hasn't even been a year yet." replied Kate.

"Yeah," said Rythmi.

"Is this alright with you Karrie?" asked Ms. April.

"Yes," replied Karrie shyly.

"Okay, Kate and Rythmi will take Karrie on a tour." announced Ms. April. "I know Karrie seems to be a bit too young to be in this class, but she passed the exam with flying colors and had an extremely high recommendation." Karrie turned red and shrunk back into her seat. "Alright, from now on all of you are my students, people I am proud of. Let's do our best to pursue your dreams of becoming Operators, Mechanics, and Rangers!"

"Yeah!" replied the class.

"I'm changing this class period into free-style." said Ms. April. "I will be in the Staff Room if any one needs me." As soon as she left, the class gathered around Karrie.

"Hey new kid, I forgot your name, but just how long did it take you to capture that Pikachu? Like an hour?" asked Keith. It was then Kate noticed Karrie gleam with confidence for the first time.

"About 15 seconds, it was really easy." replied Karrie and everyone's jaws dropped. "What?"

"That's impossible." replied Keith.

"Says you." replied Karrie.

"How did you do it then?" asked Keith.

"Simple, released the Capture Disc, draw loops, and viola! Capture Complete!" replied Karrie.

"But no one has that time, ever, not a newbie anyways. Only Top Ranger Solana can do a capture that fast and even she can't do that often!" said Keith.

"I'm not really a newbie at using a Styler." replied Karrie. "The high recommendation was from the Union itself. I was noticed for my talent to connect with Pokemon by Solana. I then ended up getting special training from Solana and Lunick and tutoring from Spencer and Professor Hastings."

"YOU KNOW SOLANA, LUNICK, SPENCER, AND PROFESSOR HASTINGS?" asked Keith and once again someone managed to scare Karrie.

"Y-y-yeah." replied Karrie.

"THAT'S SO COOL!" exclaimed Keith.

"Keith! Quiet! At least try not to scare her half to death." said Kate.

"Sorry," replied Keith as he started to turn red.

"I wasn't scared. I was, I was just startled." protested Karrie, obviously not wanting to admit that she was scared.

"Come on! Let's start the tour!" said Rythmi as she dragged Kate and Karrie out of the classroom. Karrie had wrinkled her nose at the smell of Mr. Kincaid's strawberry scented hair spray. She seemed to like the library and the resting area. She sweat dropped when Rythmi had mention the principal's eyes twinkling happily under his glasses. Then they went out side and since Karrie didn't need to know about Target Clear, they headed down to Ascension Square. Then they heard a scream.

Me: Now things get interesting. I've been waiting to put Karrie in.

Kate: She's so, small

Karrie: Excuse me! I'm a year younger than you! Hello?

Keith: You were so shy

Karrie: You try having everyone stare at you!

Keith: I have, not that scary

Karrie: D:

Kellyn: Chill Karrie

Me: Review! Review! Review!
