Disclaimer: I don't own anything of Pokémon.
This is it! The last chapter of the story! I hope you enjoy it to the fullest!
Neutral P.O.V
On the roof of Victory High, Absol and Metagross stare each other down.
"I hope you realize that Metagross is in a complete different league than my other Pokémon." Carl says quietly.
"I don't give a damn! I'll still beat you and kick your ass out of this school!" Tyler harshly replies.
"Metagross, use Meteor Mash!"
"Jump over it and use Shadow Claw!"
Fast as a bullet, Absol easily dodges the attack before inflicting considerable damage with its vicious claws.
"Hmph! Use Hammer Arm!"
"Counter with X-Scissor!"
The cutting attack, however, merely deflects the trajectory of Hammer Arm.
"Use Meteor Mash!"
The hit connects but Absol bounces back on the wall near the door and charges at Metagross.
"Absol, use Night Slash!"
Absol slashes Metagross viciously and the Steel Type falls on the ground.
"Metagross, Hyper Beam!"
An energy beam of destruction hits Absol. It faints. Tyler calls it back with an angry expression.
"… Arcanine, full power!" Arcanine comes out and roars in anger, emitting steel-smoldering waves of heat.
"Here it is. The setting is the same as last time. You will get flattened again." Carl confidently says.
"Don't think you've won! From this moment, I'll pull out all the stops!"
"I'd like to see you try!"
"Arcanine, use Flamethrower!"
… …
Meanwhile, Mr. Damian, otherwise known as The Coach, is continuing his one-sided massacre of the four Elysium students. Even after they sent out all the Pokémon they had on them at once, they never stood a chance. Conkeldurr was having a blast by himself beating them and tossing them around like toys.
"So… Had enough yet, ya punks?!" The Coach yells at them.
"It's… A nightmare!" Janine looks with a traumatized expression.
"How can someone who is not even from our almighty school beat us like that at once?" Falkner fails to comprehend.
"How strong. That's unexpected." Maylene says, a bit surprised.
"…"
Then, in the middle of the defeated thugs, Bianca and the whole A class emerge.
"We finished fending off the delinquents on our end." Bianca says to everyone.
The Special teacher steps beside The Coach with his Alakazam.
"I heard that you took a whole group by yourself, Joe. As expected, you don't need my help." He says.
"Yeah! Leave'em ta me! Didn't whoop ass for a while now." He boastfully answers.
"I still took the liberty of calling the police; they might show up any moment."
"Damn! This is bad! What the hell is Carl doing?!" Falkner asks angrily.
Maylene looks at the roof at the school.
"… It seems like he's also duking it out with somebody." She says.
"Somebody? But who?"
Then the answer comes to him all of a sudden. He grits his teeth so hard that a little more would cause them to break. He looks up at the roof and furiously screams: "TYLER, YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRDDDD!"
… …
Arcanine has already thrown a dozen of Flamethrower attacks. But Metagross is still hanging in there.
"I'm impressed your Arcanine is still standing after taking so much. But you won't last long."
"Shut the hell up! Arcanine, Flare Blitz!"
Arcanine lunges at Metagross with its body engulfed in flames. Metagross recoils a lot.
"Metagross, Zen Headbutt!"
"Counter with Fire Blast and duck!"
The fire sign blasts through Metagross and Zen Headbutt then misses the crouching Arcanine.
"Metagross, make him pay! Use Meteor Mash!"
But Metagross starts to suffer from burns all over its body.
"What?"
"Would you look at that? Burn status! Guess Fire Blast packs a punch. Hahaha!" Tyler laughs mockingly.
"SHUT UP, YOU WEAK RUNT!" Carl snaps. "A MEASLY BURN WON'T STOP THE STRONGEST POKEMON OF THIS SHIT SCHOOL! METAGROSS, USE METEOR MASH!"
The Pokémon battle then became a war of attrition. Both Pokémon started trading blows at a faster pace. Arcanine receives a Meteor Mash before recovering and sending a violent Flare Blitz. Metagross doesn't give up and hits with Hammer Arm but Arcanine gets back up and sends a hot Flamethrower. Metagross endures it before sending a Zen Headbutt well placed; however Arcanine shrugs it off and sends another Fire Blast. Metagross tires out due to the burn and Arcanine is losing stamina due to fighting non-stop at this intensity against such a strong opponent. Carl starts to lose even more composure when he sees that a first year is fighting with his Metagross on an even level. Humiliation grows deeper in Carl's boastful pride.
"Having a hard time against a first year? INNACCEPTABLE! I'LL BLOW UP THIS SHITHOLE SCHOOL SKY-HIGH! METAGROSS, HYPER BEAM ON THE WHOLE SCHOOL! REDUCE IT TO RUBBLE!"
"No!" Connor, the vice-president shouts; having regained consciousness.
"YOU CAN'T STOP ME ANYMORE, CONNOR! YOU WILL ALL BURN TO THE GROUND!"
"Like hell I'll let you!" Tyler shouts back.
Metagross jumps up so high it looks like a takeoff and prepares to fire.
"Arcanine, jump up to it!"
Arcanine leaps like it rides the wind. It gets just under Metagross.
"Now use Overheat!"
The column of fire is that it flips Metagross by 120 degrees. The trajectory of the Hyper Beam is completely deflected and the dreadful beam is instead shot into the cloudy sky. The beam is so powerful that it pierces many clouds. As a result, sunset sunrays pierce through and touch Arcanine. His flames being powered up a bit by the sun, the falling Arcanine awaits for orders.
As both Pokémon fall, Tyler gives his last command: "Arcanine, finish it with Flare Blitz!"
Like a falling comet, Arcanine forcefully brings Metagross down to the rooftop floor in a burning embrace. An immense flaming explosion ensues and is seen by everyone in the school.
… …
During that time, Cheren just ended his duel against the delinquent boss on the little bridge.
Grub couldn't believe his eyes.
(How? How could I lose to a first year brat? He mopped the floor with me with only his Serperior? Impossible!)
He gets on his knees in disbelief.
"I guess that pathetic buffoon, Ernest was right." He says disinterestedly. He does not even pay attention to Grub's expression. "I guess craving only for power is the only way to get strong. I suppose that means power is everything. HA! Why didn't I realize that sooner?!"
The laugh he lets out afterwards would have created a sense of dread into whoever would have heard it.
"You MONSTA! YE CAN'T BE A FIRST YEAR TA BEAT ME LIKE THIS! WHAT ARE YA?" Grub says in emotions mixed from fear to denial.
Cheren turns his gaze to him by the corner of the eye. He looks at him with a scorn that would remind you how you would look at something lower than dirt.
"Oh. I almost forgot you. Disappear. Serperior, use Leaf Storm!"
"NOOOOOOOO-"
His panic cry is interrupted by the impact of the attack that sends him flying through the wall of the abandoned building. Loud crashing sounds are heard inside that end at the bottom.
But Cheren pays no heed to his condition and turns his head toward the bright flaming explosion on the rooftop.
"Guess he is done on his side too."
… …
The smoke from the impact is starting to clear. Arcanine leaps out of it; tired, but still standing. Metagross… Finally fainted. But before Carl has any reaction about it, Arcanine head butts him into unconsciousness. Tyler then drags his tattered body by the collar and comes to the edge of the roof. He then brandishes his body like a trophy over the void for everybody to see. He then addresses the remaining thugs that haven't fallen yet.
"LISTEN UP, YOU PUNKS! I KICKED YOUR 'LEADER''S ASS WITH MY MAD SKILLS! YOU LOST! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SCHOOL!"
Following these words, everyone started to cheer. As for the thugs, they fled like nobody's business. Coincidentally, during the confusion, the four Elysium students and Roxie vanished into thin air. And then, at the school entrance, the police arrive.
And thus, the Victory High invasion came to a failure and an end…
… …
It's now the end of June and summer vacation is waiting at the corner.
Rock Academy's students were held responsible of the attack by the authorities. Elysium got away with it because of the lack of proof and testimonies. Tyler was sure that their influence would cover up the scandal anyway. Roxie did not come back since the incident. Carl got arrested too and Connor graduated along with all the third years in advance of a few days. It's now sunset. After picking up their stuff, Tyler and his friends are in the empty playground and ready to leave.
"Huh? Where's Jack?" Tyler asks.
"He left already." Whitney replies.
"And Jimmy and his buddies?"
"Gone too. I saw them leave a few minutes ago. But they said they are thankful to you for all you've showed them." Bianca says.
"But it's nothing, really."
"Well, here is my father's car. Cheren lives near my house so he's coming too. I had fun with all of you. See you next year!" Bianca happily says while waving her hands as she leaves with a quiet Cheren.
Whitney leaves when the bus arrives for her. She cheerfully says: "See you; I loved every moment we spent!"
Brock then starts walking away.
"You're not waiting for your bus, Brock?" Tyler asks, perplexed.
"I'd rather go home by walking. I got a lot of stuff in my mind. I'll take my time."
"See you next year, Brock. Hope we'll end up in the same class." Tyler extends his arm towards Brock, presenting his fist.
Then, they both do a Brofist.
"I hope so too. Until next time, my friend."
Tyler nods proudly. And so, Brock left. Only Skyna and Tyler are left in the empty playground now.
"When are you leaving, lazy bum?
"Come on; is that any way to talk to the hero of this school?"
"Ah, fine! I recognize that you did a good job back there. You looked kinda cool, well… Just a little." She says in a softened tone.
"Hehe! I was waiting for everyone to leave and then I was going to ride home on my Arcanine."
"Oh? I thought about the same thing. Except I was going to fly home on Altaria."
A long silence occurs.
"W-well, I'll be going."
"Did you enjoy your year here?" Tyler suddenly asks.
"W-why are you saying all of a sudden?"
"I'm just asking. So?"
"Not really. I just spent it chasing after you while you just did whatever you wanted and skip classes and break the rules just because you're a little strong."
Tyler looks slightly disturbed hearing that.
"Well, school's boring without challenge so…"
"But!"
"?"
"I'm glad I made such good friends. The laughs, the cries, the fights. I was never bored. And that's all because of a certain someone".
"W-who are-"
He is interrupted by a tender kiss from her out of nowhere. Her soft lips collide with his as Tyler, albeit surprised, goes with the flow. Seeing Tyler's puzzled face she says: "D-don't get carried away! I just did this to express my thanks. It-it's only out of obligation that I did that!"
"Uh. OK."
Altaria is called out and she gets on.
"Maybe you did this out of gratitude, or maybe you did this cuz you've fallen for me." Tyler says teasingly.
Skyna gets irked and blushes.
"… … As if, dummy." She replies with a cutely annoyed face.
She then takes off to the skies.
Alone Tyler calls out Arcanine.
"Mission complete buddy, let's go home!"
At more than 100 mph, the Arcanine boy disappears in the sunset.
Tyler's P.O.V
Hahaha! And that's a wrap for this year! But it's not over. I'll train this summer and master my new abilities. Be they from Elysium or from anywhere else, I'll take all challenges to reach the goal I chase. That's what my skills are all about.
But for now, I'll go home to taste my mom's cooking.
"They will all know the Mad Skills of Tyler Dark! Right, buddy?!"
*WOOF*
And so it ends. Did you like it? Should I make a second year story? I'm considering whether I should do it. If you've read this story from chapter 1, I thank you for your time and for sticking so long. Feel free to leave a review or something. I shall pick up another story soon enough. Until then, take care.
The end… Or is it?
