Our Anti-Hero Academia
Chapter 21 – Free Time?
"What?!"
The class could not have believed what their teacher had said, but the three student-teachers could.
"Your performance in the chamber was evaluated, and Ms. Belladonna suggested this idea. Your overall grade for Hero Class is pretty much set aside from a final they would have to give. For now, you will be on Independent Study on the island." Aizawa said flatly.
"So, if we already live on the island, we can just go home early." Bakugo said as he nodded. "Hell yeah! I take back all the mean shit I said about you space bastards!"
"Anyone who hasn't claimed or doesn't want to live on the island, you're basically staying put on the island until school's over." Aizawa said before leaving the room. "You're free to go to lunch."
Having more free time was music to the students' ears. Lunch tasted quite sweet that moment as they were in the cafetria eating.
"Where's Drake-kun?" Tsuyu asked.
"Busy working on something for Mei." Jericho said putting her tray next to hers.
Albedo was in the midst of chatting with Toru when Shoto got his attention asking to him. Once taken aside, Shoto inquired about the house along with a stipulation.
"I see. Your siblings would be more than welcome to stay with you." Albedo mused. "How soon?"
"ASAP. Natsuo and Fuyumi are already packed and waiting." Shoto said serious in tone.
"Ok, I can get you three moved today, right after class." Albedo said. "Have your siblings near the school later today."
Shoto nodded. Onboard the New Horizon, Drake was hard at work on the Omnitrix for Mei. He was rather glad for Albedo's old watch was still around. Clones were rapidly working on the watch, and, with Harley's help, would soon get the watch made by the end of lunchtime. His stomach growled before Harley handed him a bento meal for him to eat.
"5th Period, Assisting with Class H." Drake said putting the finished watched in the spherical case before putting it his backpack.
He took of his lab coat, got on his backpack, and went off to do his duty. Hound Dog was clearly nervous with his presence as he had realized him, and Mei were a recipe for chaos. Mei came to a weary Drake.
"Give me a moment, I really need to eat." Drake said putting his bento on the table. "I was busy working on something all lunch break."
"Cool. I got something to show you really. I went on the WarpNet and connected with this company that sells stuff. So, I make a deal, and sold off some of my gadgets and some things I did not need to get some stuff." Mei said excitedly as Hound Dog started to sweat.
Even Drake was a bit nervous before asking what she got.
"Well, I got my own capsule house that I modified to be my own mobile lab. I hope you don't mind that I continue to stay with you and the gang." Mei said sheepishly. "It's nice to have the company."
"Of course, Mei." Drake said as Mei walked up to something that was under a sheet.
"And some clothes I got, I also got this car. The Buffalo S." Mei said unveiling it. "Imported and modified in Los Santos before being delivered to me."
A snazzy four door sports-sedan with a carbon splitter front, a custom rear bumper, dual titanium exhaust, chrome open grille, carbon skirt and roof, roll cage, and a GT wing spoiler. The car was painted a metallic gold and black.
"What company did you get this from?" Drake asked.
"XanTech, but I had to go through the Twilight Company." Mei remarked as Drake made a note to check that out. "I even got you some stuff from it that you'd like."
"Aren't you supposed to make stuff to support heroes, Hatsume?" A student asked.
"Obviously, the car has weapons, armor plating, fine-tuned everything, and my modifications." Mei said. "I put in a built-in gun that shoots out an adhesive to restrain bad guys! Want to see it in action?"
"NO!" Hound Dog screamed. "We take your word."
Hound Dog really wanted to deck Power Loader for convincing him to take over for him while he does hero work to fix roads after a quake in another part of Japan.
Drake had finished his food and got it the sphere out of his bag.
"Mei, you're very lucky Albedo left behind what was critical for me to grant your wish." Drake said as the sphere opened up to show a bright glow.
Mei lights up like it was Christmas and Hound Dog whined internally.
"Thankfully, my time working on my own and Albedo's current one allowed me to make fewer mistakes the second go-round." Drake said revealing an Omnitrix like his.
The watch had a white and gold color scheme. The faceplate is white with gold stripes forming an outline for the hourglass of the intergalactic peace symbol. Mei squeed as she put on her right-hand leaving Drake to take a sigh in relief. Mei's first action, fiddle with it. She triggered it…causing her to transform into a… Planchaküle.
After ten minutes of that, Hound Dog dragged himself to Nezu begging him for a vacation. Nezu had to call up Drake and Mei for answers and he came to a decision. Thankfully, Mei was back in her human form.
"Given what you have done, Drake. I actually think Mei has a valid shot moving up to the hero course…and join Class 1-A." Nezu said as Hound Dog looked relieved for the moment only to hear. "I'd still want her in 1-H to foster her growth. That said, I will have you keeping a closer eye on her."
"Hound Dog, do remember that if Mei joins in on hero class, so she's not in the studio as long as before." Drake said as Hound Dog sighed.
"Fine, but if she builds a tank, I want a vacation." Hound Dog said. "Call Power Loader back, I don't care!"
~SLJ~
Come the last period, where at least for Class 1-A and Mei, they were leaving the school for the island. Mei got her car out of her capsule which turned heads. As they were leaving, everyone got a text message on their Messenger apps from Kyu letting them know that a new shop was opening up. What surprised them was this shop was not one of Kyu's investments, another company decided on picking their universe as their third branching out.
"XanTech?" Drake said looking them up. "An interesting company. C.E.O. is pretty secretive, going under a codename, Xan Ice, in the warping society. Seems to be another recent warper whose playing it smart. You don't think…"
"Nah, records don't match the other guy. This one is from the RWBY universes. Odd history this one, ties to dead FusionFall universes for scalping, an active GTA universe, and an active Animal Crossing universe on top of the smaller RWBYverses under Xan's grip. Protected status even which is a first…" Jericho said surprised. "His company has to be doing well if the Order wants them out of the multiversial drama."
"It seems according to this article. Him and a good chunk of his staff have been warpers for some time, but apparently the Order missed them repeatedly until recently." Izuku said as they all walked to the warp point.
"Honestly, that's no surprise. RWBY is a show desparetly trying to be like you…and Naruto…and anime in general and just sucking at it. It's common for people to ignore the RWBYverse, better observed then to let warpers come out from it." Drake said as they were all warped away to the island.
"How tragic. So, how are the waifus?" Mineta said asking the 'important' questions.
"Oh, they're attractive…but it's cheap fapbait at worse and moderately ok at best. Like why go for Yang Xiao Long when you can spring for Ino or Android 18?" Jericho lampooned.
They all walked onto the island with them noticing the XanTech shop right on the row of shops. Frankly, it stuck out as it was about twice as size as the other shops.
"I do want to arrange an exploring party on other areas of the island. I'm only taking three people with me though." Drake explained. "I do want to keep the groups small to randomize who I take with me. Basically, if you go with today. Next time, you can't until everyone else has a turn. I'll sure Jericho and Albedo will hold their own parties."
"Yeah, no. Look I need a break to relax, and this is a good time to do so. If you do want to chill out on the beach, I'm not penalizing you." Jericho said before flying away. "Later guys!"
"Albedo-senpai, can you take me exploring?" Toru asked him.
"Sure, one less matter that Drake has to worry about." Albedo said sending out his Skarmory for them to climb on. "Shall we?"
Toru hummed as she got on with him. Shoto reminded Drake about his siblings.
"Right, let's go back for them. I am still going to take three out after I deal with another matter." Drake said.
"Make it two, I want first crack." Shoto said intently.
"Anyone else?" He asked.
"I'm down." Kirishima said with a fanged grin.
"Same. I'd rather not go in a group with Deku. Maybe this time, I'll get to shine." Bakugo touted.
"All right then, you two stick around. Ojiro, Sero, Shoji. You three will be shown your houses on the island by Harley. So, she should be here now." Drake said.
Out from the beacon was Harley and the Todoroki siblings with their bags. Natsuo tossed Shoto his own duffel bag.
"Welcome to Gekkokage Island." Drake said calmly. "Natsuo, Fuyumi, I'm Arashi Drake, your brother's sensei."
"Nice to meet you. If my father dislikes you so much, you've already won points in my book." Natsuo said shaking Drake's hand.
"I'd take you to the house, but you guys need some wheels. Thankfully, we got a place on the island buy some." Drake remarked. "I'll cover the cost for you. Least I can do."
"Ah, you're here."
Out from the XanTech office came a man with a woman around his arm. American, late 30's, tousled dark hair, brown eyes, and faded cuts on his face while dressed up in dark blue suit with an ice blue tie. The woman was a beautiful slender, dark-skinned Middle Eastern woman with dark blue eyes and long black hair that fell to her mid back. She wore ruby red earrings that matched her dress. She wore a dark blue skirt suit with black tights and high heeled boots.
"I'm Brian. Brian Meech. And the lady with me is my wife, Masika. We want to welcome you to XanTech as we're the branch managers for your universe." Brian said formally with a bow. "You must be Drake Arashi. My boss has had an eye for people like him. He sends his regards."
"I see. Well, Mr. Ice is too kind. I do know inquire on what's being imported to the island and what the company wants in exchange." Drake said with an air of authority.
"Straight to the point, we like that. My husband and I are forerunners for a company allied to XanTech, Potentcy Produces. We are interested in the berries from not only on your island but on the Pokémon regions. The health benefits alone are worth investing in, and XanTech was willing to invest in our idea. Berry farms have already been set up in other regions on small islands outside the regions." Masika said with a wry look. "The berry farm on this island is on Bovine Hill where we also have some Miltank being farmed for milk, Fern Farms. You'll find me there on most days while you can find my husband at the shop here."
"We also have your cut of the pie. As you and your trio are the ruling party of the island, you'll each receive 10% of earnings by the month and a 20% discount on XanTech purchases. We'll have payments readied for you to pick up later." Brian said before addressing the rest. "Now allow me to welcome you in!"
Everyone was shown into the XanTech store. The walls were painted off-white. Once inside they noticed that the place had racks of clothes, weaponry, and various other items. It appeared to sell almost everything, even having a grocery aisle.
"Seeing that Variance deals imports clothes from the FusionFall and Pokémon universes along with clothing and products from various Time Patrol shops. We sell products from two universes XanTech has hold in, the Animal Crossing universe and my and my wife's home universe, the world of Grand Theft Auto. Along with an aside in FusionFall weaponry." Brian said showing them around. "Along with various other projects."
"Wait, you sell guns?!" Fuyumi said agape. "Don't you need a license?"
Drake, Albedo, Brian, and Masika started laughing at her.
"License. We're warpers. We don't have to go through licensing, a warper ID is enough. We at XanTech pride ourselves at being…mostly legal. At least legal enough for people not to care too much." Masika said with a chuckle.
"We can have guns…and explosives. I love being a warper!" Bakugo said excitedly going over to the firearms sections only for Masika to grab him by the back of his collar to pull him back.
"One more thing. We teamed up with Silver Wing Motors to sell cars, motorcycles, and other modes of transport from our universe along with the means to customize and upgrade them." Brian said bowing respectfully. "And we'll also have…potential jobs for those who are interested in a little work."
"What kind of jobs?" Mina asked.
"High risk, high reward jobs. But that's for later. Enjoy your shopping." Masika said as the two took their leave.
Drake did not say for long having taken the Todoroki siblings over to SWM which now was expanded.
"Drake, my man. These XanTech guys upped my stock!" Drayden said high-fiving them.
"I heard. Let me get those three set up. You three pick, whatever car you want." Drake said gesturing.
"Whatever we want…are you…"
"Yeah, man. This guy got deep pockets. Besides, you could work it off if you feel a thing about it, man." Drayden said. "So let me show you what's new?"
Fuyumi settled for a Huntley S not really one for a fancy sports car and more for practicality. Natsuo? He was happy to take up Drake's offer to get a Bullet. Drake and Shoto had a moment of solidarity as they both picked a Sultan RS for themselves. Both went a bit nutty on the customization. Shoto's Sultan RS had a white paintjob, GT bumpers, roof vent, roll cage, twin straight side exhaust, and a mid level spoiler. He even got Articuno and Moltres' shillouttes on the hood of it.
Drake's was a metallic dark grey with a C2 Loop bumper, Vented GT rear bumper, carbon rally foglights, carbon roof vent, padded roll cage, big bore side exhaust, carbon bolt-on arches for fenders, intercooler with water sprayer, carbon hood, and limo tinted windows, chromed Shadow rims, custom license plate that said 'KAGE', and a carbon wing spoiler. Drake opted to make his car an itasha with livery design of Miruko on the sides posing seductively in her tight-fitting hero costume while on the hood was a chibi version of her do the Sexy Jutsu pose with her naughty bits covered by yellow clouds.
"Damn, aren't you going to have an issue driving it in public…" Natsuo asked.
"Nah, warper rules. Plus, Rumi is going to laugh at this." Drake said getting in the car.
"Now, the cars can be stored into capsules like the other vehicles. Other than that, have fun tearing it up." Drayden said as Shoto had to explain to his siblings what capsules were.
Drake had paid Nora for the cars, the upgrades, and the customizations. A pretty penny but a small drop in the bucket given the profits from working with Kyu. Drake had texted Shoto the location of where the house was and told him he could join an exploration group tomorrow citing he could deal with his siblings. Drake had drove back out before seeing that most of the class were inside XanTech shopping. Right out the beacon, out came Aizawa and Rumi.
"Where did you…"
"Another company came to do business…new shop and the Silver Wing Motors place now sells cars from another universe." Drake said. "This is my new Sultan RS."
"Is that me painted up all over the hood? Damn, who is the artist? He got my good side!" Rumi said excitedly as Aizawa shook his head.
"I'm here to deliver Rumi. She wanted to become a trainer and wants to help promote you three to Hero Comission." Aizawa said as Drake got out of his car a bit shocked.
"After the whole training in the chamber, I'm grown to really admire you and your work ethic. Frankly, learning from you was a pleasure and I realized if I help you, you can help me." Rumi said humbly. "And I do enjoy your company…"
"Well, I can't say no to a heroine in need. I suppose you can join today's group. I'll need to get you a phone with the app and a starter. And probably get you some new clothes. Guess I'm taking you shopping…my treat." Drake said blushing. "Aizawa, you staying to train?"
"I'm actually not until I get a proper mapping out of the place which Jericho remarked would take a bit of time. I'll stick with Kyu's cave for now." Aizawa said before leaving.
Drake gave Rumi a quick rundown of the island as several students were leaving shops. Most of them noticed the pro-hero and the car.
"I can pay to have a car painted like that?" Mineta said drooling.
"If you have the money." Drake teased as Mineta wailed.
Drake took Rumi over to Variance as Valerie was on a laptop as Valeriya was fooling around with a deck of cards.
"Oh hey. I heard I got some competition. Well, a little of that will be fun as I just announced that Variance has new stuff in stock." Valerie said. "What can I do for you?"
"She is in need of a backpack and a hat to start with. How about something from your line?" He said getting her attention.
Valerie took one look at Rumi and let out a squee before saying she was a huge Miruko fan. Valerie got Rumi a backpack from her line. A sporty yet spooky looking black backpack which various ghost-type Pokémon shilloulettes on it. As for a hat, she got her one from her line, a sun hat modeled after a Mismagius's head adjusted for her ears.
"Consider them both gifts, all I ask in request is for you to autograph this Chocolate Bunny Bag." Valerie said holding it and a permanent marker.
Rumi happily signed unaware that Valerie fully intended to sell that autographed bag online. The money from that would be enough to get employees and maybe a branch on the mainland.
"So, what's the deal with the XanTech shop?" Rumi asked. "Another of your contacts from beyond coming for you for business?"
"No. Apparently, this universe was in the neighboorhood of an interdimensional business that's interested in expanding. Already has two universes under them while scalping for things to sell from smaller, wrecked universes. If things work out, we could have a powerful ally in interest to see the heroes succeed." Drake said mirthfully as his phone buzzed with a text from Mei. "I don't know the head guy, but apparently we had his eye for a while."
'Drake, I want your thoughts on a few things later. See ya at home, sensei~.' Mei texted.
"Oh, so she's living with you." Rumi teased.
"I got too used to her around…among other reasons." Drake said. "Let's just get you some clothes. How about I pick something out for you start with?"
XanTech was new on the scene, Drake did want to support Valerie's business first. His mind ran wild at the idea of Rumi in some of the outfit and Valerie had a knowing look thinking the same. Rumi went to the changing room as Drake gave her what she picked. She came out in a white sleeveless loose shirt under a pink T-shirt, black spandex short shorts, black fingerless gloves, and yellow boots.
"Got anything else?" Rumi asked.
Both him and Valerie let her try a variety of outfits. Rumi settled on the sport top, sports gloves, trackie bottoms, tracksuit jacket, sports sunglasses, sports high tops from Galarian Fighting-type set. She also had a brown belt around her waist.
"How much?" Rumi asked.
"Tell you what, if you can take up a side gig as my muse to try on products here and from my line. I could grant you a discount on future purchases." Valerie said ringing her up. "That'll be 39,950 yen. And we do take card."
"I'll pay for it, Drake. Least I could do." Rumi said handing Valerie her credit card. "Besides, you'll need the cash to pay for my phone."
Drake and Rumi left with Valerie discretely taking a picture of Rumi's behind. She looked to the autographed bag…and had an idea. It was a short walk to XanTech only to see a spaceship out on the beach. The Alieh III model ship but it was painted green. Izuku was wiping his new ride with an eager grin and a rag. Drake simply took her inside to the cell phone kiosk.
"I'd like a cell phone for the lady. What can recommend…that's not iFruit." Drake asked the worker.
"BitterSweet Ace 5. Comes with DroneX OS, hi-speed connectivity, HD camera, decent battery life, and its interface is easily malleable with warper energy to customize the phone's color. 500 doll…wait, we're selling in yen so 55,114.50 yen."
Drake was never the more relived to value American currency as he paid for the phone. Rumi took the box to put in her bag before noticing the weapons section. She walked over noticing a rather odd gun.
"Are those gun barrels, popsicles?" She asked.
The mustached military-looking guy running the sectoring wearing an army-green shirt, dirt brown pants, a XanTech gilet, and combat boots eyed her up before smiling a bit.
"Yes, m'am. The world of FusionFall has some silly but…effective weapons. Those there are the Pop Guns, they're basically freeze rays that make the ice sweet and tasty. Good for making ice cold drinks. Side note, name's Chuck." Chuck said with a bow.
"Well, one of these would help my hero work. How much for one?" Rumi asked.
"300 Yen. What flavor? Blueberry, Lemon, Grape, Lime, or Cherry?" Chuck asked.
"Cherry." Rumi said putting the money down as Chuck handed her a Cherry Pop Gun with it's special holster.
"Hope you kick some ass." Chuck said before leaving.
"Find something you like?" Drake asked.
"Yeah, I did." Rumi remarked.
"Well, go ahead and look around. I need to get Bakugo and Kirishima." Drake said before leaving her alone.
"I'm right here."
Bakugo was the only side admiring his new Atomic Meta Mace in his new clothes: a black motorcycle jacket over a Suburban yellow t-shirt, sand colored work pants, orange accent skate sneakers, smoke colored aviator glasses, a neon blue band on his right hand, and a Hawk and Little baseball cap. He kept his trainer bag and belt though.
"I'm just digging this weapon Midoriya recommend. Times like this, I really do appreciate his brains." Bakugo said before making the mace vanish into the blue band. "Good thing, XanTech can mod the weapons to easily store like the rides from Silver Wing. Speaking of…I want to ask for a recommendation. I'm thinking motorcycles."
"Sure, I can help Bakugo. Let me just find Kirishima." Drake said sensing him out. "Got him."
Drake moved further into the store to see Kirishima dusting off his new maroon Sypde track top.
"Fits perfectly." Kirishima said before sensing Drake. "Yo."
Kirshima tossed Drake a navy Spyde track top saying it was for him.
"Oh, you didn't have to." Drake remarked.
"Nah, I had to, bro. You got me on a path to make myself even manlier than before. Plus, 2 for 1 sale." Kirishima said as Drake had a wistful look.
"Thanks. You done shopping?" Drake asked. "Because Variance got in new stock."
"Choice!" Kirishima said excitedly. "I'm heading there now before going to SW."
"I can help with that. I owe you one for this, saved me the trouble of buying this myself." Drake remarked. "Go ahead and take Bakugo with you. I'll meet you at SW."
Drake had done a brief shopping before having all that packed into capsules. By the done he was done and leaving with Rumi, Kirishima waltzed out of Variance wear the trackie bottoms, sport gloves, and sport high tops from the Galarian Rock-type set. Bakugo obviously wore the sport gloves from the Fire-type set.
"All right, let's get some wheels. Well, you three. I got mine already." Drake said gesturing to his Sultan RS.
"You're ok with the paint job?" Bakugo asked Rumi who laughed at the question.
"Oh please, I've seen the dark corners of our fandom has done. That is tame in comparison." Rumi said boisteriously.
Bakugo shuddered inwardly not wanting to think on it too much. Damn fangirls and their lust for BakuDeku, he thought murderously. The four walked into Silver Wing Motors.
"Ay-yo, welcome to Silver Wing Motors. What can I do for you?" Drayden asked.
"Motorcycles. Specifically, this one." Bakugo said showing him the image of a Wolfsbane on his phone. "I don't exactly got the cash for too much upgrades. So, the only thing I'll take customized is a black paintjob and a 20% Armor Upgrade."
"Right away. And you two?" Drayden asked Kirishima and Rumi.
"Any motorcycles on the cheap side?" Kirishima asked.
"I can help that." Nora said rolling out a Sanchez. "Dirtbike's basic. I know you're good for it so I'll offer at half price with a few free customizations if you can do something for me."
Nora really wanted to get out of babysitting Phillip and Kimona for a night. Despite Drayden and Kyanna giving her the stinkeye, Kirishima happily accepted being the babysitter for tonight. Nora happily got that dirtbike a red paintjob giving it turbo tuning. As for Rumi, Drake inquired about something.
"Stock from the Auto Merchant in Liberty City…yeah, I got stock from them. Triads be selling rides cheap." Drayden remarked.
"Can you match me up on an NRG 900F?" Drake asked.
"Man, you lucky you, Jericho, and me are cool. I'll match you up." Drayden said as Drake paid up. "Still, 800 US Dollars in yen is quite the take."
The three were soon wheeling out their new bikes as Drake got in the car.
"Try to keep up. I need to head to the house to get Rumi's phone set up, change, and get myself ready." Drake said starting the engine.
It was a brisk race to the base where Jericho and Mei were out in swimsuits getting their sun on. Drake created a Shadow Clone to help Rumi set up her phone while he went up to his room to change and put away the shopping. He did settle to wear that track top Kirishima bought him, a pair of navy and black track pants, dark Hinterland boots, and black fingerless gloves. He got his gear in order before taking his backpack. The clone dispelled and he relived to see that the clone succeeded. All that was left was to ge her a starter which he had in his hand as he walked out.
"Here, your starter. Normally, there's the matter of picking but we had that already…so you're getting what's leftover." Drake said as Rumi looked down at the Poké Ball in question. "Considering I had the clone load you with some trainer supplies from my own inventory, you'll do fine."
What Rumi got was a small Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. It has large, purplish or reddish eyes and a slightly hooked upper lip. Each of its hands and feet have three pointed digits. The end of its long tail curls inward. Its body is encased by a tough shell that is brown on the top, pale yellow on the bottom, and has a thick white ridge between the two halves.
"Hello." Squirtle spoke as Rumi took it up.
"Male one by the way, you can give it a nickname." Drake remarked.
"Hamato it is." Rumi said as Hamato let out a happy cry.
"Is it weird that we're all a bit taller than the Pro Hero?" Kirishima asked.
Bakugo and Drake just shrugged that off. Drake left the Sultan RS to bust out a classic, a blue NRG-500. They biked on Swoopneck Lake and down the underground path to the other side to hilly plains.
[Cues: Smash Bros Brawl ST – Hidden Mountain and Forest]
"Bovine Hill, named for it's notable hill that is prime grazing material for herbivorous Pokémon. The place actually has a few smaller hills. A milk farm rest at the top of the largest hill, and a berry farm on another hill. The average Pokémon's level here is about 20. The building at the end leads to the Underground Path which takes you to Swoopneck Lake. Drake named this place."
That was what Rumi got off the app. The four returned their bikes to their capsules and started walking up the hill. The three trainers were on the prowl for captures while Drake took in the breeze. Bakugo, having taken a note from Deku, used the app to get a feel for variety available in the area. A few Miltanks were gazing on the hill. Rumi was quick to get some information with the app and snap a photo. She focused on one particular.
"Miltank, the Milk Cow Pokémon. A female only specices, its milk is packed with nutrition, making it the ultimate beverage for the sick or weary. Most people raise it for its sweet and flavorful milk, but it's quite tough and strong, so it's also well suited for battle. Miltank produces highly nutritious milk, so it's been supporting the lives of people and other Pokémon since ancient times. This Miltank is at level 15 with a Jolly naïve, Scrappy for an ability; knows Dizzy Punch, Rollout, Stomp, and Tackle."
"I'm going for it." Rumi said as she was given a Quick Ball.
"A Quick Ball, works best when you make it the first move." Drake said. "Now let's see your throw."
Rumi wound up the pitch, threw, and the ball stuck the landing taking it inside. It waggled and waggled before it clicked. Rumi took up the ball confident about her first capture. She let her out and Miltank gave a light hum.
"Luckily, a docile natured Pokémon can be easy to raise." Drake said as Bakugo took to fighting the remaining herd with Burnette and Deathflame.
Each took down one rather handily, and the herd called for backup which came in the form of a group of Tauros. Kirishima spied the Tauros that was clearly had to be the leader. He sent out Ikari to face it, first trapping it with Rock Tomb. Rumi promptly joined in the fight with her Miltank and Hamato.
"Rocks?! You'll need more than that to fight me!" Tauros bellowed using Rock Climb to charge through the rocks.
Leaving a white trail as he ran on the ground tearing at it, he tackled Ikari sending the Pig Monkey Pokémon tumbling back before getting up. Kirishima called for Ikari to use Revenge as a vein on Ikari's head throbbed.
"And you'll need some brains!" Ikari said glowing bright orange.
WHAM! Ikari slugged the Tauros into the dirt landing a critical and knocking out the bull. With the leader defeated, the herd promptly retreated much to Bakugo and Miruko's ire. Kirishima got out a Luxury Ball to easily capture it before checking the Dex for information.
"Not bad. Rumi, you're catching on." Drake remarked.
They moved on returning their Pokémon as a figure came down riding on a Ponyta, namely a trainer of the Cowgirl class. Blonde, blue-eyed, freckles…the whole show. Bakugo deemed that fire horse up on his cool list.
"Howdy, strangers. We noticed one of the wild herds were scattering and I was sent down to investigate." She said.
"Oh, it's nothing but some trainers messing about." Drake said.
"Right…" The cowgirl said before riding off on her Ponyta to go after the wild herd.
Kirishima sent out the fainted Tauros and used a Revive and a Super Potion to heal it up.
"I'm calling you Whiplash." Kirishima said as Tauros glared at him.
Whiplash would have complained had it not been for the Luxury Ball making the stay inside comfortable. But then Kirishima got on his back, and Whiplash decided to play bucking bronco.
"The human is hanging on…humph, I'll give him that." Whiplash said.
"C'mon, Kirishima! Tame that Tauros!" Bakugo said as Kirishima gave a confident look.
He grabbed Whiplash by the horns and got him to heel. Whiplash had pouted, but he admitted defeat. Drake gave Kirishima some berries to feed Whiplash as they went on ahead. The farm was a big place with fenced in arenas for various Pokémon, people going around working, and the group entered the building.
"Welcome to Fern Farm." The lady at the front desk said. "How can I help you today?"
"I'm here to inquire about services." Drake said as the clerk at the front desk realized who she was talking.
"Mr. Arashi! So glad to meet our investor. I'm Prudence." She said shaking his hand. "While we do stock the mart and the XanTech, residents of the island can come to us for special services."
Aside from buying farm products, they learned they could potentially buy Pokémon. Due to breeding, there were around.
"We're selling Mareeps, Miltanks, Tauros, Boufflants, Skiddos, Torchics, Ponytas, Wooloos, and Turtwigs currently." Prudence explained.
Bakugo bought a Turtwig seeing he wanted defense against water and ground types. He even got himself Ponyta.
"I'll call him, Thorn." Bakugo said.
"That Turtwig is female, sir." Prudence said.
"Blood Thorn, then." Bakugo said as Drake inwardly facepalmed.
At least the Ponyta got the better name of 'Sunburn Shimmer'. Even then, that got Drake seriously questioning Bakugo's mindset.
Kirishima purchased himself a Skiddo upon looking up on the Dex. Rumi put money down for a Torchic and a Turtwig. Drake did put an order for a few dozen Moomoo Milks and various Pokémon meat to be delivered to his home. He also decided to post up that what Pokémon were available for sale at Fern Farms along with other products on the group chat.
"That was a pleasant expedition. A bit on the easy side of things." Drake said thoughtfully before his phone rang.
He saw it was Momo and answered.
"Momes, what I do for you?" Drake asked.
"I wanted to ask if you were done on your expedition. I just claimed my pick from the center, and I saw your post. I really want a Wooloo." Momo said.
"Speaking of reward, what were the Pokémon like?" Drake asked.
"Those poachers mostly had Poison, Dark, Fairy, Dragon, or Steel type Pokémon. So, I got a Gabite." Momo said.
"As for the expedition, I guess we can call it complete." Drake remarked as Kirishima gave him the thumbs up. "So, I'll come to you, where are you?"
"Checking out the place I have on the island. I'll see you there." Momo said before hanging up.
"Cutting our trip short so you can chase your students." Bakugo mocked playfully.
"So, you getting that sempai/kouhai action? I'll keep your secret." Rumi teased.
He got the Wooloo before flipping off Bakugo and going right out the door. Drake took the
[Music Ends]
He flew over to the residental side of the island seeing that several students were already settling in their bases of operation. Momo's home, he had designed to be fancy. A model of the De Santa Residence in Los Santos only it was not gated. It still had the pool and the tennis court to which he was sure once the others found out about it, they'd bug him for a pool. Berry bushes and trees were planted. With a few leaps, he was over the house and in the back where Momo's Pokémon were various states of relaxation. Bascard was in the pool, Pangaea was laying out in the sun, Hercules was napping ontop of Pangaea, and Onyx was eating ore. Her Gabite, Takala, was eating from a pile of berries.
"Momes?" Drake called out.
"Coming…" Momo said coming out.
He tossed her the ball with the Wooloo, and she immediately let it out. She cuddled the fluffy sheep Pokémon calling it adorable.
"Don't worry about paying me back." Drake remarked.
"Oh no, I insist." Momo said. "Stick around and relax."
Drake was not going to refuse the offer.

Riding out of Silver Wing Motors, Izuku, Mina, and Ochako all sported a shiny new Bati 801RR in their respective colors with their own designs.
"Thanks for getting me a new bike, Izu-kun." Mina said with a wink.
"I…I couldn't let you ride that capsule vehicle up the hill." Izuku said sheepish as Ochako revved the engine.
"Don't forget, we need to go to the center to claim our rewards." Ochako said as she raced ahead.
The other two caught up as they arrived at the center. Nurse Joy was at the counter reading a novel.
"Afternoon, we're here to claim our reward." Ochako said as the nurse closed her novel.
Nurse Joy showed them the room where they could have a pick out of the haul which was a limited selection of Poison, Fairy, Dragon, Dark, and Steel type Pokémon. Our heroes in the making noticed Momo's signature on the checklist. Mina was looking over at the Poison-types only for a Goomy to rush her affectionately rubbing on her leg.
"She's perfect." Goomy said as Mina took him up as Izuku used the app.
"Goomy, the Soft Tissue Pokémon. Because most of its body is water, it will dry up if the weather becomes too arid. It's considered the weakest dragon Pokémon. It's covered in a slimy membrane that makes any punches or kicks slide off it harmlessly. It is advised to wash your hands when handling wild Goomy. This male Goomy is at Level 25, has the ability Gooey, an Impish nature, and currently knows: Dragon Breath, Absorb, Acid Armor, and Water Pulse."
Goomy licked Mina's face giving her his best cute face to which she picked him. Izuku was approached by a Pokémon, a Kirlia had danced towards him. Using telepathy, she spoke to Izuku saying that he was 'the one' for her and wanted to join his party. Izuku was not going to pass up an offer and selected her. Ochako chose a Liepard having wanted a cat. Liepard was happier to get out of the center and she figured Ochako was easy to please and manipulate.
"I'm going to call you Parda." Ochako said rubbing her affectionately.
"Hopefully you live well and I never have to see these jokers again. Call me whatever you want." Parda thought as they left.
Izuku's Kirlia held onto her trainer's hand.
"It's so cute. What are you going to call her?" Mina asked.
"Juniper." Izuku said. "What about your Goomy?"
"Sir Sauce." Mina said before her phone buzzed.
She took it up.
"Kirishima posted up on the group chat with a phot-Wait, there's a place selling Pokémon?" Mina said seeing Drake's pinned post above. "Guys, check this out."
Izuku had looked at it and decided to make a trip out there after buying a few things at the mart.

The real end of the school day came as Drake was in his swim trunks lounging on the pool with Momo. People were putting up status updates on the group chat.
"Hey, it seems everyone's gathering at Fern Farm. Masika is holding a 'Welcome to the Island' BBQ. You wanna go?" Drake asked.
"May as well." Momo said getting out of the water. "Just let me change."
He watched her go and his heart skipped a beat. Most would have eyed her rear, but his focus was the muscle on the back go down.
"I took a ten and make her an eleven." He thought before getting out of the water.
He scamped off to dry himself and change back into his clothes before getting his stuff together. Momo came out and she whistled for all her Pokémon to come to her as she returned them all.
"You good to fly?" He asked her.
She responded by taking off to the skies and he followed suit showing her the way to Fern Farm. The BBQ was held outdoor with a party in swing as everyone was having a good time with food, drinks, and battles.
"Drake, I expected you here soon. What were you doing with Miss-"
"Training, Iida." Drake said covering his bases. "By the way, did you claim your reward from the center?"
"Yes, I have. Two…because they both bit me on my arms…and wouldn't let go until I took them with me." Iida said gesturing to his new Krokorok and Mawile.
"Look at the bright side, you have another Pokémon who can Mega Evolve." Drake said jokingly before spying Izuku. "Izuku, leaving already?"
"Yeah, I need to deliver some of the product I bought to my back." Izuku said revving his motorcycle.
"Tell Inko a steady diet of Pokémon will do wonders for her." Drake said before Izuku raced off.
Bakugo and Kirishima both took off next to go down to the center, and Rumi had come up to Drake.
"Thanks for expedition. I need to go now, duty calls." Rumi said getting her bike out and racing down the hill.

Down at the Center, Bakugo and Kirishima came to find not much was left. Kirishima snatched up a Metang for himself after looking up its entry. A Pokémon with a big brain would be very useful to someone who struggled in school. Bakugo ended up with the last Pokémon there, a Seviper. He would not complain as he found the snake cool...plus it could learn Flamethrower. The two jovially went over to mart to buy some TMs with some of cash earned today. Kirishima ended up being told he had hit an accomplishment for having a full team and having his seventh capture. The app had briefly explained how the PC system works. Kirishima begrudgingly had Takeshi sent to the PC to bring 'Omega' to the main party.

A winded Drake plopped on the couch in thought as Jericho reminded them that they were doing to have to deal with the USJ. He groaned in annoyance. Frankly, he wondered if he could kill Decaying Hands and call it an accident to the public.
"Aw well, at least we're prepared for it. What could possibly go wrong?" Drake said.
Come tomorrow…he would have wished he never said that.
(A/N: Because we all know Murphy's Law is petty with everyone. Yes, we're back and I did have to update past chapters once again. Chapters 6, 11, 15, and 16 were edited for sloppy lapses in writing and errors. Moving on, this series is going to dive into the overarching plot point I had promised was going to happen in this story from FusionFall Infinite, things are going to change.)
