Stop the Bullies

At the dinner time, everyone is having their dinner until Ash leaves to take the cake from the freezer, Ash says, "Hey, guys. I have brought the cake that we made back in the Baking class. Who wants to try some?"

The others are surprised and Insey says, "Believe me, they made the Chocolate Mousse Cake."

"No way, I really like that cake, but it is quite expensive if you buy it." Reisa says.

"Well, don't worry. You can have them." Ash takes out the cake and they are amazed at the sight of the cake. Then Lillie cuts the cake for each person as they try out the cake. Serena says, "Wow, this is really good."

"Well, Ash and Lillie are also good chefs, it is no wonder that they have these good cakes." Helen says.

Luke says, "And to tell you guys the truth, Ash and Lillie get the first place again with this cake in the baking class."

"That is quite expected since the cake sure needs to be in the first place." Daniel says.

As the others are talking about the cake that they have eaten, Ash turns to Lillie, "I think it is time we should go."

"Sure, Ash." Lillie says as they both stand up, but their action causes the others to stop their conversation and looks at them. Eve asks, "Ash? Lillie? What's wrong? Where are you going?"

Ash takes out a paper, it is the request paper from the bullies. Mark says, "Isn't that the Registration form from the laboratories? What's wrong with that?"

"I am going to find Professor Geo. You know, the ones from the Kalos High say that they have asked signature from Professor Geo. Although I let them go there with our permission, after looking at the signatures, I feel like it is fake and I want to check if Professor Geo is with them."

Lillie says, "Breaking the rules can cause a lot of trouble to a lot of students and teachers, which is why we need to stop it as possible."

Ash nods as they bid farewell to others as they head towards the office. Professor Geo is at his desk writing a paper about Aromatisse's perfumes, then he hears the door knock and says, "Please enter."

Ash and Lillie enter the office room and Professor Geo says, "Prince Red and Princess White, may I ask why you are here?"

"Professor Geo, sorry to interrupt your work, but do you have a moment now?" Ash asks.

Professor Geo looks at the paper and he smiles, "Well, I just finished my paper that I needed to give to the Principal. So what can I help you with?"

Ash takes out the paper and says, "You see, we want to clarify something. As you can see, this is the Registration Form of the Science Labs, and the time it is written is right now."

Geo is confused and he says, "What are you talking about? I didn't ask students to do something at the labs, besides, if someone needs to experiment, then I have to be there so that there won't be any harm and trouble happening there."

Ash says, "So that is why we are here." He takes out the paper and says, "Did you ever sign this paper?"

Geo looks at the paper, and he notices that there is his signature on it. Geo says, "But I don't remember that I have signed this paper..."

Lillie says, "So it means that the eight of them use the lab without your permission, they must be trying to do something in the labs."

Geo is now furious and he says, "Take me there. Faking Signatures can lead to Minor demerits, especially my labs."

Ash and Lillie follow Professor Geo to the Lab, and Ash starts to worry that something bad is going to happen.

Meanwhile, Misty and the others have already put a lot of solutions and medicines on the table. Dawn is stirring the solution in the beaker and she asks, "Are you sure this is the way to make the poison?"

Drew looks at the instructions in his smartphone and he says, "According to the instructions on my phone, I have already added the Roserade's poison inside the beaker, it should be done after the color turns purple."

"Good, which means that the poison that we need to ruin Ash is going to be done." Iris says. But then they hear a loud door slam and a voice, "What are you guys doing?"

The eight are shocked as they turn around, they see Ash, Lillie, and Geo standing at the door. And the Professor is very furious.

"Professor, we are just..." May says as the group is now sweating.

"If you want to experiment, you should get my signature, not faking it. You do know that doing so can lead to Minor demerits, right? It will influence your score and your graduation!" Professor Geo says.

"We know, but..." Paul says.

"Not to mention, you have to use the labs with me by your side, but you didn't call me here to keep your safety, which means you are rather doing something that would be dangerous. Now show me what are you making." Geo demands.

The Professor reaches out his hand, but even though the 8 of them are sweating, they refuse to let go of the things that they are holding. Ash says, "This is just a waste of time."

He takes out a Pokeball and sends out his Gardevoir. "Use Psychic to get whatever they are making."

Gardevoir nods as the medicine on Dawn's hands suddenly floats into the air, Trip yells, "Hey, you can't just do that! Give it back!"

"And why is that? What are you making that causes you to be in such a hurry?" Geo asks. Ash looks at the bottle and says, "The color is purple, but there are a lot of solutions that are colored purple."

He opens it and says, "And this smell...wait... this smell..." Ash suddenly feels his limbs shaking and then he drops down onto the floor. Professor Geo widens his eyes as he recognizes the poison, as for Lillie, she is in horror after seeing Ash falls to the ground.

"Ash!" Lillie yells as she tries to approach him, but Geo grabs her arm and stops her, he says, "Wait, Lillie. Don't get close to that, or you will be the same fate as Ash."

Geo quickly takes out a rag and then picks up the fallen bottle, he mutters, "I know it, no wonder they try to fake my signature. I won't allow anybody to make this."

He turns to the group and gives them a roar, "Are you out of your mind?! Do you know what are you making?"

The 8 people are terrified at Geo's roar, especially since he is a strict teacher that won't hesitate to give nasty scores if you do bad, but they still try to struggle and Gary says, "Um...no?"

Professor Geo is trembling and he says, "No? Then let me break it to you, this is the Toxical Perfume. Just hearing the name knows that it is poison! But instead of humans, when Pokemon smells the perfume, they will be weak and faint immediately, if inhaling the excess amount of perfume may cause life danger!"

Lillie gasps and says, "I also read it from the book, no wonder Ash is in this state." She quickly takes the respirator and puts it on, then she quickly puts it on Ash's face.

"I want to know, why are doing this?" Professor Geo asks.

"We are just curious..." Iris says.

"Curious? Do you know how terrible that word is? You almost killed Ash if I didn't take it away!" Geo yells. He quickly sends out his Gogoat, "Gogoat, get Ash to the ward. Lillie, you go too."

"Yes, Professor." Lillie says as they leave. Professor Geo says, "What are you guys thinking? This is not your original Kalos High School! Do you think you can do anything you want in this school? Just because you lost a lot of battles or scores to Ash and Lillie, do you seriously need to go this far to harm them? Are you out of your mind?"

"But..." Misty tries to retort, but Geo stops them and he says, "This can't go unpunished, you will have to come with me to the Principal's Office."

Their faces start to get pale as they know that the Principal has the authority to inform their parents about what they are doing, and if the news spread out, they are going to be in a big horror. So they try to flee the place as soon as possible. But Professor Geo takes out a Tangrowth and he says, "Use Wrap, don't let them escape."

After the 8 people are tied up, Professor Geo says, "You are not going anywhere until your punishment arrives."

In the Hospital Wing, the nurse Amelia was about to leave the place and lock the door, until she hears hasty footsteps and a loud cry, "Professor Amelia!"

She turns around and sees Lillie and a Gogoat that carries Ash, but Ash is in a critical state and Amelia widens her eyes, "What happened to Ash? Why is he like that? And why are you two wearing respirators?"

Lillie takes out the respirators and says, "Ash just smelled the Toxical Perfume. We managed to put them on before it starts to infect me or too late for Ash. Can you please save him?"

Amelia gasps in surprise, "What? The Toxical Perfume?" Then she gives a determined face and says, "Okay, I get it. I'll try my best to save him."

With Gogoat's help, Amelia has put Ash on the bed, then she calls Audino and Venusaur to give Ash a check-up. Amelia is a little angry and she asks Lillie, "How did Ash smell the Toxical Perfume? I thought that the teachers have taken away and destroyed all of them."

Lillie tells everything to the nurse, and her reaction is the same as Professor Geo, who can't believe that those people from the Kalos High would try any means to harm Ash and her.

After some while, Aurora and Geo arrive at the hospital wing. Aurora was trying to arrange a meeting with Professor Shade until Professor Geo rushes into the room and tells her about Ash's state. So she quickly rushes towards the place and turns to Amelia, "Amelia, how is my son? Is he okay? How much Toxical Perfume that he inhaled?"

Amelia shakes her head with a frown and says, "His life is now at risk, Aurora, we have to observe for a few days."

Aurora starts to form tears as she kneels beside Ash's bed, "This can't be happening..."

Lillie hugs Aurora and says, "Ms. Ketchum..."

Geo says, "The 8 people admit that they do it because that they want to take revenge on Ash for defeating them since they are supposed to be the strongest. I have never seen such selfish people..."

Aurora says, "This can't go unpunished. Professor Oak and those guys' family will come tomorrow, they will need to know what their children are doing."

Amelia says, "So Lillie, are you going to stay here or you are going back to your dorm?"

Lillie says, "I am staying here. I can't leave Ash alone..." Lillie starts to form tears. "Not when the day after my birthday...the day after he proposed to me..."

Aurora hugs her as Lillie cries in her arms, then Geo and Amelia decide to leave them alone for now.
