"Bunear." A brown rabbit-like pokemon with bits of fur covering it, though more commonly known as Buneary said as it poked the Black-haired Boy who laid in bed.
"I'm up, just give me a few more minutes..." Said Boy replied. The Buneary replied with climbing onto one on the shelves.
"Bu, Nea, Ry!" It said as if counting down before leaping down.
"I said give me a few more min.. Wait, stop, I'm up!" The Boy instantly sprang up but far too late as the Buneary collided into him.
Senroy groaned as he clutched his stomach. He soon glared at the Perpetrator of his pain. His Ace Pokemon, Spring the Buneary, who just scratched their head sheepishly.
"Don't try and cute your way out of this."
As Senroy rose from his bed, he looked at his white long-sleeved shirt. Of which only had a few stains.
"Eh, it's fine," He then grabbed a red hoodie and threw it on before slipping into light brown trousers from his laundry basket.
A small buzz soon rang out, coming from the red USB with watch straps. He grabbed it and strapped to his wrist while checking who it was. The message was from Mr Vall , Senroy's employer. 'Team Dusk Lead. Meet at Office after your classes end.'
Well, no need to come up with an excuse to skip class then. Senroy set down the plate of leftovers and set them down before pulling out a plate for Spring.
"Spring, remind me to go shopping after today's case unless you want takeout again," Senroy muttered, to which Spring nodded vigorously, most likely wanting to have something different after having the only takeout for the past 3 days.
As soon as they finished, they instantly rushed out, just noticing the time. Not Late, but most likely not going to be able to catch up on sleep before Class began, much to Senroy's dismay.
"Now Class before we begin, I would like to acknowledge that today is Brianna's Birthday. Please make sure to congratulate her." The Teacher stated before moving on.
"Please gather up your items and let us head out to the field." Senroy would be lying if he said he didn't forget about how this Teacher would often drag students into battles on their birthdays.
The Students all let out a collective cheer, with a girl with light green hair styled into a ponytail with bangs swept to the left grinning widely.
"I assume you don't need me to explain the rules to a Drive Battle, Brianna."
The light greened hair girl in a black shirt, blue shorts over black tights, and a blue jacket, now known as Brianna smirked. Taking out a purple USB watch from their pocket, they replied with, "No need Mam, I've participated in plenty of them to understand!" in a very energetic way.
Drive Battles often involve trainers fighting themselves by using the USB watches, though it is more commonly know as Pokedrives. Which is Senroy was shocked at Brianna's statement.
How could someone as airheaded as her participate in those kinds of things? Then again, from what little interaction Senroy had with his Peers, Brianna has begun to get into quite a few fights. And the last time Senroy talked to her was when they were 7, which was eight years ago. It is quite possible now that Senroy began to think about it.
"Splendid, now just so we're clear only one Pokemon and no items," the Teacher said as the threw out a Corsola, a pink rock shaped Pokemon with branches on it's back.
Brianna's turquoise eyes seemingly glowed in excitement as she threw out an orange canine with black strips, more well known as Archanine or in her case.
"Archy!"
Did she decide to a fire type against a water AND rock type pokemon? That's about as bad as a matchup as you can get! The Teacher seemed to agree with what Senroi thought as she let off a comment about not teaching well.
3! The Countdown soon began.
2! Their Pokedrives both glowed as a faint field appeared around them before vanishing.
1! They both got into ready positions.
GO!
"Extreme Speed!" Both Brianna and Archy shot forward.
Brianna grabbed the Corsola before throwing it aside. Archy continued before being cut off by a Water Gun from The Teacher.
"Archy, Boost!" Brianna shouted as she cut off the Flamethrower that had embedded Corsola into a wall.
"Corsola, Water Gun!" The Teacher shouted.
The Corsola, who had its face embedded in the wall, shot off the Water Gun, causing it to shoot out of the wall. Brianna, who had Archy use Flamethrower to boost herself towards the Teacher, collided with the Corsola.
"Aqua Ring!" Upon this command, a ring of water instantly surrounds Corsola, of which caught Brianna in it, leading to her spinning around.
"Water Gun." That would probably end the fight.
After all, from all the spinning, Brianna would most likely be disoriented, meaning she couldn't dodge. Though now that Senroi thought of it, Archy was nowhere to be seen. That is until it appeared right under Brianna, having used Dig, and used Flamethrower to shoot Brianna out of the Water Gun.
Brianna then began to position herself, as if preparing to do a kick. Archy had shot up and used Flame Wheel. To which Brianna kicked the Wheel of Fire at the Teacher. The kick was likely enhanced by Extreme Speed due to how fast Archy rocketed towards the Teacher.
Senroy couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen this move before but was pulled out of his thoughts as the battle ended. Well, as nice as it was to see this Teacher finally be beaten, the bell just rang, informing everyone to leave.
"The rumors of you being a Creep really are true!" Brianna screamed at Senory, who was just walking with his bike.
"Who are you calling a Creep? And what rumors exactly?" Senroy instantly questioned.
"Well, first off, you've been following me for three blocks, not saying anything! If you going to follow me at least say 'Hi' or be secretive about it!" Since when was he following her, he was just on his way to work. Senroy was about to say this before Brianna continued.
"Then you're always taking pictures of people from afar and I even heard you once snuck into the Girls' locker room!" Senroy recalled doing that. It was for a case Mr Vall had assigned him involving a kidnapping and a cursed locker.
"That was for a case."
"That doesn't explain why you used your Haunter to go through Luica's locker!"
Spook, his Haunter, had a habit of taking other's people stuff and laughing at their humiliation. But it seems Brianna wasn't going to accept it as an excuse, though she seemed to have calmed down slightly.
"Well, if you let me finished, those were all for a Cases I was helping Valliant Detective Agency with because I work there." He included a promotion, "This path just so happens to be the quickest way there, and you also happened to be here as well." He failed to notice Brianna's paling as he mentioned his place of work.
"Though it is quite odd, as you often take the train on your way to school and back, of which at the station you always buy Flareon Chips, which you eat on the way to school and back. This-" Senroy was interrupted by Brianna who just whispered.
"How do you know that? And..." She sucked in a breath, "And why did Dad choose you!" Before continuing to scream.
Oh yeah, Mr Vall was Brianna's dad. Senroy was embarrassed at the fact he forgot this.
"Still can't believe Dad choose you to work with him instead, though seeing as how Pure, Sweet and Innocent Senroy was replaced with Creep, Pervert Enroy. I don't think I'm missing out." Brianna sighed as she opened the door of a one-story building that had a wooden roof with yellowish walls.
"And for the last time, I'm not a Pervert or a Creep. And stop calling me that." Senroy said as he stored his bike on the Bike rack.
Hearing no reply, he turned and went to see what had silenced Brianna. The sight caused him to freeze. The normally, organized office was covered in burn and claw marks, a few destroyed pieces of furniture."
"What happened here?" Brianna slowly asked. Huh taking this better than Senroy expected.
"Ambush most likely," Senroy threw out Spring. "Look for anything that may help us."
"Wouldn't your Haunter be better for that?" Brianna asked as Senroi took out a pair of gloves and his camera.
"Spring is unnaturally good at finding clues."
"Well give me a pair too, I'm helping."
"I only have one camera."
"Just give me gloves."
"Wow, I thought you'd be trying to get me to stop and call the authorities," Senroi stated as he handed out another pair of Gloves.
"The people next door probably already called them. Besides, I at least want to have the chance to look around if Dad's rant turns out to be right." Brianna shrugged as she began to look around.
Senroy followed after as he began to look around. Burn and claw marks. Burn marks most likely came from , seeing as he does specialize in fire types. That means the Claw marks came from a Pokemon with three claws seeing as each mark is made up of three scratches. Senroy took a few pictures so he could reference it later.
"Bunear!" Spring called out, causing Senroy and Brianna to go over to see what it was.
Spring then presented a slightly damaged PokeDrive, which was under one of the few intact desks.
"Nice find Spring," Senroy stated as he picked it up.
"That's Dad's..." Brianna revealed as Senroy turned it on.
"There's a recording on it." Most likely of the battle, seeing as the PokeDrive had opened on the app first.
"I can see that just play it already." Senroy did just that, but not before mentioning Brianna's inpatients.
"Quillava, Flame Whee-, Finish him!" The Recording played before going to static. Not as much info, as Senroi would have liked.
"Why was he using Quills?!" Brianna questioned as the recording ended.
"Because it's his Ace," Senroy and Spring both looked at Brianna as if the answer was obvious.
"No it isn't, Quills is the Familly Pet, he has way stronger options." It isn't his Ace? Why use a Family Pet when there were better options?
"What other Pokemon does he have?"
"Well, there's his Coalosal, his Actually Ace," Brianna said, emphasizing the last part. " Salazzle, Talonflame, Emboar, Infernape, Camerupt, and Ninetales." She finished the List.
Those are all far more powerful than Quillava, all in their final stages. Most likely better suited for the battle as well. So why Quillava. And More importantly, why these Pokemon.
"There all Fire Types. Most of them are dual types, except for two. But that doesn't explain his battle choice. How does he have a Coalosal as well, those are rare to find anywhere other than Galar..." Senroy then grew quiet as he began to connect the dots.
"What's wrong, did I way something?"
"Johto."
"That has nothing to do with this." Brianna deadpanned at his response.
"It actually does. Each of his Pokemon is from a different region."
"His Pokemon are from each Region why does it matter?"
"Because he most likely uses Pokemon from different Regions to fight Pokemon of that Region."
Brianna was about to say something before a look of realization dawned on her face. "He does only use Ninetales whenever we battle. And when he and Mom battle, he always used Coalosal against her and her team."
"Of which is comprised fully of Galar Pokemon?"
Brianna only replied with, " Ah crap, it was from Johto wasn't it."
"Sneasel most likely due to how deep the claw marks are."
"Okay, we know it's a Sneasel or some other Pokemon from Johto. How does this help us?" Brianna Questioned as Senroy stood up and went to where Spring was once again motioning them.
"Well, if you look at all previous Evil Teams, they all have those select few Pokemon they use. And we have been investigating something called Team Dusk." Senroy looked at the spot Spring had pointed at, of which had a letter D made from claw marks.
"And a Dark Type Pokemon fits the name, doesn't it."
"Yeah, it does. But, I was thinking that their usual Calling Card is a better clue."
"Say Enroy what Trainer Academy are you picking?" Brianna asked as she sat down next to him with her lunch.
Senroy was shocked at the question. Only because he expected it to be about Mr Vall. Then again she has been taking it extremely well.
"GoldenFlame," Senroy responded.
"That nice, so am I." Brianna smiled as she stored away a pile of paper in her bag.
Curiosity got the better of him, so he asked. "What were those papers?"
"A large waste of effort is all," Brianna stated, looking quite somber.
"Hm, is that so?" Senroy instantly resumed eating, but not before releasing Spook underneath the Table.
"Aren't you suppose to question me further on them?" Brianna looked at Senroy with an expectant look in her eyes.
"Waste of time to question you about the papers in your bag." Of which Senroy instantly ignored.
"The way you said that gives me bad vibes." A purple ghost-like Pokemon with floating hands, though more known as Spook in Senroy's case, soon popped out from behind them. The papers in hand.
"Haun, Haun, Haunter," Spook exclaimed, shaking its hand at Senroy as if scolding him.
How the Troublesome Haunter who laughed at other's despair became this? It was beyond Senroy's comprehension. But that doesn't matter, since he got the papers all the same.
"Are those my..." Brianna instantly looked in her bag while Senroy took the Papers and began to read as he returned Spook.
Hmm? It seems to be some Essay on why someone should go to GoldenFlame.
"Don't just take other's people stuff!" Brianna screamed as she hit Senroy on the head.
"AH, What was that for?!"
"If you wanted to see the papers, you just had to ask!"
"I told you it'd be a waste of time," Senroy rubbed the area she had struck.
"That's no excuse!" Brianna then held her head and Grimanced, "I really am going to have my work cut out for me. Having to look over a creep like him."
"Wait, don't I have a say in that?" Turquoise eyes meet Green.
"No, you do not."
Senroy: Welcome to my board. Where I explain the mysteries done in far greater depth as well as inform you of things you may need to know.
Brianna: What Enroy is trying to say is. Welcome to Senroy's Board, where we tell you the things the Lazy Author who hasn't even finished my character sheet while writing is too lazy to incorporate into the story.
Senroy: Today, we will be explaining GoldenFlame because Brianna was insistent on her essay being used.
Brianna: GoldenFlame is one of the 3 Trainer Academies of the Kalos Region.
Senroy: It says on Brianna's Essay that it has a large amount of funding, allowing for high-quality equipment for Research and their studies. The academy itself has produced some of The Greatest Researchers and Trainers, making it the most Prestigious Academy in Kalos.
Brianna: Hey, give me that back! I wrote it, let me at least say some of it. At least let me talk about how it helped produce the PokeDrive!
Senroy: And in turn created the Drive Battle system, your favorite battle system.
Brianna: Of course it is! Now give me that!
Senroy: You said the introduction and PokeDrive part. Just let me get the team part finished.
Brianna: That's the only cool part left!
Senroy: Don't pad your essay with not 'cool' stuff then. Honestly half the stuff is just filler.
Brianna: Teams are used to form bonds between students as well as to serve as companions in events! And it was not just filler, my passing score is enough to prove that.
Senroy: The fact you scored so high is a miracle.
Brianna: That's it get over here!
That concludes today's Senroy's Board.
Well this is the first chapter of the rewrite. I hope you enjoyed, I am already planning out the second chapter. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Character sheet is found in bio.
