Chapter55: Back to school where nightmares rule

''Excuse me, but the gym leader will return in three days'' said a security man in front of the gym '' damn, thank you sir'' said a disappointed Draco ''now what?'' asked an also disappointed Nyx ''well we could always train like hell'' said Draco but then Marina realized something ''why don't we go to Aunt Mary? After what we got through I think we should relax for a while'' she suggested and the others got happy ''ok then let's go, it should be almost an hour away from here''. After almost an hour, they reached Pallet town and saw from a distance Mary cleaning the windows ''Mom, we are back'' shouted Draco as they were approaching ''welcome back kids, how you didn't go at Viridian City?'', ''well we went, but the gym leader will be absent and so...'' ''you decided to come see me'' she finished saying smiling. ''Anyway, you came right on time'' ''for what?'' asked Oceania, ''it's the last day of the pokemon school and they requested sweets, bread etc.'' The trio then looked at the sky, '' the pokemon school huh? It brings memories'' said a nostalgic Draco ''tell me about it'' said Nyx with Marina getting out of trance and being furious ''what's wrong?'' asked her Draco puzzled ''n-nothing'' replied a nervous Marina who in her mind had flashbacks of moments with Candice.

After a while, they were at the pokemon school ''it sure has a smell of nostalgia'' said Draco after taking a deep breath and seemed to smell something, but the girls seemed frustrated and terrified ''what's wrong girls?'' asked Mary as she was holding boxes that had food inside ''n-nothing'' said both of them nervous and Mary gave a fast glance ''ok then, let's go inside'' she said and they headed inside. When they went inside, they saw a well-shaped, tall woman at her thirties with long blonde hair, crystal blue eyes and red school uniform dress, and white shoes with yellow loggings ''hello Margaret, I brought the food'' ''good, leave it here '' replied Margaret as she was pointing a point in the hall. Then she saw the kids and had her mouth opened ''oh my, Draco-kun and Marina and Nyx-chan, how much you have changed'' she said really excited as she hugged them tightly to their dismay ''it has been a while Margaret-san'' said Draco ''yeah'' said Nyx ''I remember when you came to the kindergarten and ended up graduating from school. After all, you were the best students'' she said happy and as she finished talking, she threw a quick glance at Nyx, making her afraid.

Then the bell for a break rung and many kids came out in school uniforms, going out in order to play ''by the way kids, I want you to do something for me'' she said with a happy face and clapping her hands ''what?'' asked Nyx. Margaret lead the trio outside and she clapped her hands twice ''kids gather here, I have to show you something fun'' said Margaret in a happy go lucky tone and the kids gathered around her ''those are Draco, Marina and Nyx, they have graduated from our school and became trainers with many pokemon, right?'' she asked them with the same tone and the kids got excited ''well...yes'' answered a nervous Draco ''can you show us then your pokemon?'', ''well sure I guess'' ''yes we will'' said Nyx ''come out everyone'' they said as they threw up their pokeballs and everyone came out. The kids then were left speechless upon seeing so many pokemon ''hey, can we play with them?'' asked a kid as it stepped up and raised its hand ''sure'' said Draco smiling to the kids over enjoyment. Some were flying around with charizard and hydreigon, girls were playing with umbreon, espeon and vaporeon while some boys were doing various facial expressions with gengar. There was a fierce competition among girls over who will pet chinchou and dratini, a couple of others were petting slowbro without it responding, kingler along with drapion and primeape were picking up kids to swing them, kingdra was trying to playfully wet some kids with her hydro pump.

''They sure have fun'' said Draco as he was watching them happy ''well, if that happened to us too, we would be as excited as them'' said Nyx ''oh kids, thank you so much for letting the little kids play with your pokemon, they are so much happy'' said Miss Margaret while approaching them from behind. ''It's nothing Margaret-san, our pokemon enjoy themselves too'' said Draco and Margaret gave a quick glance at Nyx to her fear ''anyway'' she said regaining her sweet tone ''I have some preparations to do'' she said and left, Draco then looked Nyx ''alright, what's wrong? Every time you look at her you become afraid, tell me the truth'' he said concerned. Nyx then closed her eyes and took a deep breath ''it's just…it's just that she never liked me, whenever I was alone with her she was intimidating me and in the class she would try to ridicule me and other worse things'' she said saddened, Draco was left speechless ''why you stayed silent about that?'' ''I talked to my parents many times when they were here, but she was claiming that I was imagining things'', ''anyway, the past is the past, you can only try to fight your phobias''. Then Nyx snapped and when she got up, she began running fast ''wh…where are you going?'' ''to fight my phobias!'' , then she ended up in Miss Margaret's office where there was her along with Mary ''what's wrong Nyx?'' asked Mary ''do you want something? We have an adult conversation here, oh such luck of manners you have'' said Margaret as she was drinking ''heh, you are one to talk bitch''.

''What? Nyx, apologize to Margaret-san this instant!'' demanded an annoyed Mary ''with pleasure, if she apologizes first for the bullying she has done to me when I was her student all these years'' ''what? Stop lying, I was good with you like I am with all my students'' said Miss Margaret with a confused face ''Miss Margaret, it's time to cut the act, time for me to fight my phobias'' she said to their confusion ''I challenge you to a pokemon battle!''.
