Chapter 2: May's embarrassment (Part 2)

January 1st 2005

Rustboro Academy

Lunchroom

Jackie, Emily and Sam entered the lunchroom a few minutes after May had arrive and went to Marina to tell her that they did not succeed in teasing May all the way to the lunchroom.

The minute Brendan saw May stepped in; he started to blush furiously after what Marina had said in English class. May did the same too. May was tired from all this teasing and decided to try convince Marina somehow to stop teasing her and Brendan for at least a day. May slowly walked to Marina preparing what she was going to say to Marina and hoped she did not say anything that would get Marina to cause even more trouble.

Marina and Kerry were talking about Brendan and May and did not notice May coming towards their way.

" Umm, Hi Marina, umm. Could you please stop all the teasing?" May's voice was suddenly heard and that gave a scare to Marina and Kerry.

" Why? Teasing you and Brendan really is fun, right Kerry?"

" Yep! It is fun!"

" Well can you at least stop for the rest of today please? We have only about 3 more hours to go before school is over. So could you please don't tease for the rest of today?" May asked hoping Marina would agree.

" Nah. That isn't fun!"

" Well teasing isn't fun either."

"Why you want me to stop teasing anyway? Is it because you love Brendan?" Marina asked mockingly.

" No I don't!" May stuttered blushing a bit.

" Aw you're blushing already! So that means you do love him!"

"NO I DON'T! STOP IT!" May screamed at the top of her lungs.

May's scream was heard loud and clear in the lunchroom. Everyone who heard the scream stared at May. May looked at them and gave a nervous laugh. Everyone stopped staring at May and went back doing whatever they were doing before the scream was heard.

" Please Marina please?"

" Nuh uh I am not stopping all the teasing"

" I know! How about you have a battle with May?" Kerry suggested.

" That's a great idea!" Both May and Marina agreed at the same time.

" Ok, if you win, I'll stop the teasing for today but if I win, I'll continue, Okay?"

" Right. Lets battle now?"

" Yep!" Marina said as she started walking towards the hall with May following behind.

After May and Marina left, Kerry told every one of her classmates that May and Marina are going to have a battle in the hall. After Kerry told everyone, everyone rushed to the hall.

When May and Marina arrived the hall, the hall was packed with every one of their classmates who somehow heard of the battle they were going to have.

I guess Kerry must have told everyone about the battle" May thought to herself.

Kerry, Jackie, Emily and Sam were talking to each other about who will win the battle.

" I think Marina is going to win the battle!" Sam, a 13-year-old, who had a little crush on Marina, said.

" I hope so too" The others said.

" One on one battle and no time limit sounds good?" Marina asked.

" Okay. Go Torchic!" May said as she threw a poke ball. The poke ball landed on the floor releasing a small chick pokemon.

" Torchic!" The little chick pokemon cried out its battle cry.

"This is going to be a tough one with Chikorita if Torchic uses ember but I'm going to try no matter what even if May has the type advantage!" Marina thought to herself.

" Go Chikorita!" Marina said as she threw a poke ball her style, which looked as if she was kicking the poke ball.

"Chikeri!" The grass type pokemon cried out as it came out of its poke ball.

" Ok Torchic lets finish this with em!" Marina cut May short.

" Hey what's the big idea!" May yelled at Marina.

" Stun spore now!" Marina told Chikorita ignoring May.

"Chika!" Chikorita cried out as it obeyed its trainer and released a brown powder at Torchic. The brown powder landed on Torchic all over the place and Torchic tried to dodge by it could not move somehow.

"Woo hoo! Torchic's paralyzed!" Kerry shouted.

" Oh great, Torchic's paralyzed, I think I have a paralyzed heal somewhere in my bag." May told herself and began digging up the items inside her phanny pack.

" Okay Chikorita, while she's distracted keep tackling Torchic!" Marina said confidently that she would win the battle.

The grass type pokemon rushed to Torchic and started tackling it non-stop. Torchic's health was now in the red zone and any minute now it was going to faint.

" I found it!" May shouted as she pulled out a paralyzed heal from her bag and used it on Torchic. Torchic was now able to move and dodged Chikorita's tackle attacks as Chikorita was getting tired.

" Okay Torchic ember!" May shouted, as she could smell victory.

" Torchiiiiiiiiiiiiic!" The fire chick pokemon cried out as it shot tiny fireballs at Chikorita. One of the fireballs landed at Chikorita's leaf and started burning.

"Chika!" Chikorita cried out rolling about trying to put the fire out.

" Chikorita!" Marina shouted as she watched her pokemon rolling about desperately trying to put the fire out. Soon, Chikorita fainted.

" Yes! May won! I knew she would win!" Brendan, who overheard every single word what May, Marina and Kerry were talking about in the lunchroom, shouted happily from his seat, as he was too happy to hear no more teasing from Marina for the rest of today.

" Aww Marina lost." Kerry, Jackie and Emily said in unison.

" Well she did put up a great fight." Sam told the girls. The girls nodded their head agreeing with what Sam had just said.

" Return Chikorita" Marina said feeling a bit down and guilty for getting Chikorita badly hurt. May returned Torchic and went up to Marina.

" Hey that was a great battle you put up even though me and Torchic had the advantage."

" Yeah. I still lost anyway. I won't tease you for the rest of today," Marina said and ran away to the pokemon center to heal Chikorita. After Marina left, May was partying mentally.

Kerry, Jackie, Emily and Sam saw Marina running away and quickly gave chase.

" I'm sorry Chikorita that I got you hurt so bad," Marina mumbled to herself as she entered the pokemon center. Marina handed Chikorita's poke ball to Nurse Joy.

" I'm afraid Chikorita has to stay in the pokemon center overnight. Chikorita got hurt really bad " Nurse Joy told Marina.

" Okay then, I'll pick Chikorita up in the morning tomorrow."

" Marina!" Kerry, Jackie, Emily and Sam shouted as they rushed in the pokemon center. Marina looked at them confused.

" Why did you all come here? Pokemon battle techniques are going to start soon! I don't want to get you all in trouble because of me!" Marina said.

" We just came to see if you were alright." Kerry told Marina.

" I'm okay. Anyway, we better go to pokemon battle techniques class now, you don't want to get battle techniques-sensei (It means teacher in Japanese, I think) mad." Marina told them, as the battle techniques teacher was very strict about being late for class. They agreed and started heading towards pokemon battle techniques class.

Lucky for them, they arrived a few minutes before class started. The pokemon battle techniques-sensei arrived after Marina and her group entered the class.

" Miss May and Marina had a very interesting battle today." Battle techniques-sensei said as he started teaching the class battle techniques on how to win in a situation like what Marina had. Pokemon battle techniques class continued until the end of school. As this was a boarding school, most of the pupils in Rustboro Academy sleep and eat inside the school but some of the pupils who live nearby go back to their homes. Marina and Kerry were among those who lived in Rustboro Academy while Jackie, Emily and Sam went back to their homes.
