We start by passing by an array of trees before looking upon our first building: The Cian F. Lance Public School for Pokemon(Or PSP for short). We zoom in to the front of the school to see multiple trainers with their pokemon, some trainers walking their pokemon up, and some trainers hugging and saying goodbye as the pokemon enter the facility. There is one trainer that stands apart from everyone else, as we see a woman hugging her Squirtle…for 5 minutes.
May: "Squirtle, you have to let go now. We have been hugging for 5 minutes and I think people are staring at us.."
Squirtle immediately started to get nervous, and when he was about to cry..
May: "Squirtle, it's going to be alright."
May quickly lets go of Squirtle and holds his hand.
May: "We will both go in together!"
Squirtle smiled as May followed him into the school.
—-
"So, this is where you are!" May said, arriving at classroom 5D.
Squirtle was in the 5th step, or grade, and was about to approach 6th, where both Trainer's and Pokemon are in the same school together.
As Squirtle was peeking inside the window with all the pokemon, May took one last look at Squirtle and said:
"Don't be afraid to ask to go to the bathroom. They won't mind."
Squirtle: "Squirtle….Squirtle….(But what if they say no?)"
May: "I already told the teacher about your condition. It will be alright, as long as you ask and pay attention to what she is saying."
Squirtle: "Squirtle!(Okay!)"
May: "I will see you after class!" *walks backward and waves bye to squirtle*
Squirtle takes one deep breath while holding the door handle as he then turns it, revealing many familiar sights.
Pokemon were sitting down at their desks talking to each other, the chalkboard written with today's homework, and the teacher who was a Primeape.
Wait..The teacher IS a Primeape!
Squirtle: "Squirtle?!(What?!)"
The pokemon looked at the Squirtle, including the teacher.
Squirtle was terrified of everyone staring at him, thinking he did something wrong, but just seconds later was filled with conversation and everything was back to normal..or so Squirtle thought.
*RRIIIINNNGGG!*
The bell rang, and everyone who was talking slowly quieted down into mumbles. Squirtle quickly took a seat at an empty desk, right next to a Luxio who had his feet on his desk.
Squirtle was a bit terrified, but then took his attention over to his teacher.
Primeape: "Ok, class! Welcome to the 5th Step in this school! This is your last grade before moving on with the rest of your trainers, where it will become harder for you to keep up."
Primeape: "So, lets start off with something easy."
Primeape then picked up a piece of chalk and began to write on the board "Introductions."
Primeape: We will be introducing ourselves in this class, with each one of you stating at least one thing that makes you special. Let's start off with…"
Primeape picked up a book and flipped through the pages with ease, and then pointed at a random pokemon.
Primeape: "You."
Primeape points at Wartortle, the evolved form of Squirtle. He stands up and heads towards the front of the classroom.
Wartortle: "Wartortle, Wartortle, Wartortle! (Hi, my name is Wartortle, and I like hanging out with my friends.)"
Primeape: "Very good Wartortle! Now who wants to present next?"
…
The class began presenting one by one, each with their own unique thing to people. Some pokemon clapped, some pokemon cheered, and some were completely silent. As it was nearing the end of introductions, Squirtle was getting nervous, as he hasn't been called yet.
Primeape: "Ok! There are two more pokemon who haven't been introduced yet. That's you,"
*Primeape points at Luxio*
"And you."
*Primeape points at Squirtle*
Primeape: "So, which one of you want to go?"
…
…
It was completely muted in the classroom, with the only sounds being the clock in the middle of the wall on top of the chalkboard, ticking the seconds until the next minute.
Suddenly, Luxio speaked up:
Luxio: "Luxio…(I want to go last.)"
Primeape: "Then I guess that leaves you, Squirtle."
Squirtle started to sweat bullets, with the one incentive being that he started to twitch his legs..he immediately started to urge.
Squirtle raised his hand and called out:
Squirtle: "Squirtle! Squirtle Squirt?(Can I use the bathroom please?)"
Primeape: "Squirtle, this isn't the time for bailing out in my class. I've seen that trick before. Now please get up here and present to the class."
Squirtle: "Squirt-(But-)"
Primeape: "No buts! Get up here and present, and then you can go to the bathroom."
Squirtle stood up, or at least tried to. He was walking down to the front of the classroom slowly, trying to hold back his bladder inside.
Primeape: "Come on, pick up the pace. We don't have all day."
Squirtle couldn't hold it much longer. It would be minutes until he would burst.
Squirtle: (I should have gone before I went here…)
He finally reached the front of the classroom and he saw many faces staring at him, waiting for Squirtle to say something.
Squirtle: (I should have chosen another teacher…)
*FLASHBACK BEGINS*
Squirtle was in the 1st Step of PSP, and was just about to enter the classroom(10 minutes late), and saw what appears to be a classroom of pokemon, with Primeape writing on the chalkboard, crossing out Pokemons names under the Title: "Presentations".
Primeape instantly saw Squirtle enter the classroom and he re-written his name on the board and said:
Primeape: "Come on Squirtle! You are the last one up, everyone else has already presented."
Squirtle started to walk up to the front, and when he was trying to find the right words to start with, he felt something very cold behind his back…
It was Primeape, whose hands were cold from washing her hands just minutes earlier.
Primeape: "Sorry if that scared you, I have just washed my hands earlier. Now, if you don't know where to start, just try saying your-"
Primeape looked down and saw a yellow liquid streaming from Squirtle…
Primeape looked back up and Squirtle was showing a face of shame. The cold touch of the hand was enough to trigger what would only be described a shock factor to what have caused Squirtle to react like this.
He was peeing down on the sky blue carpet for around 2 minutes, and when the stream came down to a trickle, he ran away, with his hands covering his eyes as he dashed out the classroom into the nearby restroom, which was just across of Primeapes classroom, while Primeape stood still, with her only expression was confusion, followed up by disgust..
Primeape: "Wha….how…huh? How can he possibly do this to everyone…?"
And that was when he first was seen with a fear of public speaking, and was later diagnosed with an overactive bladder later after May took him to the hospital after school.
This continued throughout 2nd Step, 3rd Step, 4th Step, where he would do the same thing out of pity, out of shame. Squirtle faced confusion, disgust, and laughter from the classmates watching him. Squirtle was humiliated out of all of it. He knew that it would happen again on the last step..but he was afraid to speak up. No matter what.
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
Squirtle was still trying to hold his bladder in, while the classroom started to whisper about Squirtle. Then it turned into mumbling, and mumbling turned into full on conversations. Primeape was trying to quiet down the class by using a gavel on her desk, which had no effect.
Squirtle: (I…can't….hold…it..)
Squirtle dashed to the classroom door, but it was closed by a doorknob barely out of Squirtle's height range. He reached out as far as he could, and he couldn't open the door. He tried jumping to open it, but alas, he still couldn't touch it.
That's when Squirtle saw a stool in the corner right next to the door, used for small pokemon to draw on the chalkboard after school hours. Squirtle dragged the stool to the door and was able to open the door! He pushed the door just barely enough and slipped outside and dashed for the nearest restroom. He ended up with the restroom right across the classroom but unfortunately, the bathroom he had approached has been remodeled into a janitor's closet.
Squirtle: (Why…Why…)
It was now onto the breaking point. Squirtle turned to the right as he was running, his legs being squeezed tighter and tighter as he tried to dash to the other restroom. As he was running with his two legs, he switched to running on all fours, even if he was going slower. He passed multiple classrooms, until he saw the restroom dead ahead, and pushed open the door. As he sees the toilet, he is almost relieved, but then he hears Primeape running down the hall, and fast.
As Primeape was running down the hall, she was telling Squirtle to stop opening the door and when she got to Squirtle, she said:
Primeape: "Squirtle! Please, there must be an explanation for this!"
Primeape quickly picks Squirtle up and says:
"There you are. Now lets go back to the classroom."
Squirtle started to squirm, as the restroom got farther and farther away from him, and eventually managed to squeeze out.
Squirtle ran as quickly as he could from Primeape, and pushed the door one last time to reveal the toilet, and shut the door on Primeape.
Primeape was trying to open the door with her hands, which to no avail, and started pounding the door, while quickly saying:
Primeape: "Hey! Open this door, you have to finish your presentation!"
Squirtle didn't listen, as he was looking at what he came here for, and that was to finally use the restroom.
Squirtle: Squirtle..!(Finally….!)
He approached the toilet with beams in his eyes, as he never dreamed about this happening. Squirtle slowly walked his way up to the toilet with his hands still holding his bladder, and began to climb the toilet.
Things were starting to finally go normal for Squirtle..or so he thought.
Squirtle: "HNNKK!"
Squirtle's body began to hurt. His bladder was burning. Squirtle had his head over the toilet bowl and all he needed was to turn around. But If Squirtle were to take one more rotation, he would begin to relieve himself.
All he needed to do was to turn around…
Squirtle: "HGGGAAAAAHHHHH!"
Squirtle began to turn his body, and was on the verge of collapsing. He just needed to turn his shell over the bowl and it would be over.
Squirtle turned left one last time, letting one last moan out of his mouth and..
…
…It was over.
Squirtle has begun to let out every drop of fluid possible. Squirtle sighed so much that he started drooling.
He began crying tears of relief, tears of joy. He felt like he was in heaven. The whole process took over 5 minutes to empty his bladder, and after he was done, he stood there, embracing the moment, in which he looked down at himself in the reflection in the once-was toilet water and now fully yellow liquid. He mumbled to himself..
Squirtle: "Squirt…le..(I did….it..)
He never presented himself to class that day.
…
…
The next day:
Squirtle was standing in front of all of the class while Primeape was speaking about what happened yesterday.
Primeape: "Alright, since Squirtle over here was the one who really screwed us up yesterday, Squirtle has to present again today."
Primeape: "Now, please tell us your name and one thing that is special about you."
Squirtle: "Squirtle…Squirtle Squirt Squirtle…(My name is squirtle and..)
Squirtle paused and began to twitch his legs..
Primeape: "And? Go on."
He blurted out:
Squirtle: "Squirt..SQUIRTLE SQUIRTLE!(And..I HAVE A OVERACTIVE BLADDER!)
Squirtle pants heavily, while he squeezes his legs again, about to burst.
It was silent…
Until it turned into a pokemon clapping.
And that turns into 2.
And then 3.
And then many more.
Squirtle: "Squirtle?(Huh?)"
Squirtle hasn't felt much praise before by his peers. Was it a misunderstanding? Was it a joke?
Squirtle returned back to his desk, with his legs still squeezed.
The classroom has quieted down again, as Primeape began her lesson..
Primeape: "Well, that was a start to our day…"
Primeape: "ANYWAYS, let's get into what a pokeball means and the 35 different variants. I hope you studied for this because there is going to be a quiz on this tomorrow!"
The class moans and gets back to work.
Squirtle, though still needed to use the restroom, didn't worry too much about it, as he conquered his fear of public speaking. As he stared into the classroom window, watching the Pidgey flying by….
Squirtle got the urge again.
The End(for now…)
