THAT SYLVEON

Have you read 'That Lucario' by Jirulius? Do it. It's part of the 'Pokemon High-School' community too, as this story is as well. Take a look at it, it's really good!

Hi, how are you doing? It's solely Luanastar here, bringing you chapter seven of the 'That Sylveon' saga. I presume that you're asking yourself, "Where the heck is the Sawss at?" If he's not in your fridge, then he would be at his pop's house, looking after his little cousins for the week. This led him to come over and beg for my help on getting this chapter done and dusted while he was occupied, thus, I'm here now. This is going to mean that the style of writing is going to incredibly different. I hope you're all okay with that. By the way, I was told this late, so this resulted in the chapter also being slightly delayed. Yeah, we're sorry about that.

Luanastar does not own anything, unfortunately.

"Ah! Right. You'll be paired up with Raidon Atos, okay?" Anais' heart felt a little uplifted. She knew about the Luxray's abilities; That'll help her big time to win their upcoming match.

It'll also help you big time with something else, if you 'nawwww mean.

…

I'm talking about sex.

STOP TALKING!

Anais tried to steal a glance at said Luxray, but was caught in the act as he was already looking at her, putting on a smile as he did. Anais returned that smile with grin, before turning back to the Weavile.

"You two will be facing the pair of... Bella Wolf-Sheaqua and Barry Bursyamo. Please make your way to the centre mat." A squeal was heard indefinitely by the Mightyena beside her. The cold command clasped around Anais' once spirited heart, and dashed it to pieces once her ears had picked up the name of Barry Bursyamo on her list of opponents. The only thing that she could do was ensure that both herself and Raidon did their best.

Anais hopped off the benches with a slightly low esteem, and took place aside Raidon, who stood tall and proud against his approaching rivals. Her eyes darted to the left, and she was very shocked to see the toned intensity of Raidon's muscles bulging from underneath his fur – Something she hadn't noticed before. It wasn't as impressive as a real fighters' arms, but at this age, she would consider that to be a world class body. From his biceps to his triceps, Anais was quite upset that she hadn't seen this way earlier.

Barry and Bella strolled onto the mat. The Mightyena seemed to be looking back and forth at the Blaziken, contrary to his persistent focus. Her tail wagged in happiness, and her ears were rolled back as if there weren't just about to duel just now. Barry adjusted his baggy magenta hoodie, before bowing down in respect to his opponents.

Mrs. Easel straightened out her lips, exhalation rate increasing as she compared fighting statistics with each of the battlers. It was too early to call a victor, but she could probably already tell who it was going to be. Once she found that both sides were ready, she cleared her throat to announce a start.

"If you are ready now, the battle may commence."

Anais turned to her Mightyena friend, charging up a blast of energy as she had the type advantage against her. She caught a glimpse of Raidon dart off to Barry, who landed a punch straight into the Luxray's skull, sending him back to where he started. Anais sent the sphere of pure plasma barrelling towards the tip of Bella's nose, who had no time to react as she was still staring at Barry, thus allowing it to explode at her muzzle and knock her off the mat.

Barry could only look and sigh at his fallen partner, twitching on the ground outside the foamy mat, as some other Pokemon came to help her out. He couldn't decide between Anais and Raidon to attack first, so he assumed a defensive position and waited for one of them to make a move.

Raidon had the feel to lurch forward and expel a discharge of free electrons all over the Blaziken's body, but was stopped by a pink paw blocking his way. To his right, Anais stared at him, determination in her eyes and a smile on her maw.

"Don't worry." she said. "I can take him."

Stepping backwards with a small frown, Raidon blinked surprisingly but allowed the Sylveon to have it her way. Thus, Anais stepped forward as Raidon spectated, bending down slightly to feign an imminent pounce and unsheathing her claws.

Immediately, her calves went to action, lifting her off the ground in a arch to land on Barry with her extended claws. She was persistent on showing the class that Barry wasn't some superhero when it came to battling - he was just one of them, regardless of who his father or mother was.

Barry twirled on his left heel and roundhouse kicked the Sylveon in the face, throwing her out of the competition and on the floor. Oh well.

That was incredibly anti-climactic.

Indeed, dragon man. Raidon grit his teeth to concentrate, since if he made one mistake now, he'd be done for. However, he couldn't focus with so many thoughts running through his head, with the most prominent being the defeat of his partner. It hadn't occurred to him until the day before, how Anais was so important to him, despite meeting not too long ago. It was as if they had known each other for years. He was certain that she would be quite impressed if she found out that he could beat one of the best fighters in the school at their own game.

"Alright! The winner is Barry Bursyamo and Bella Wolf-Sheaqua!" called Mrs. Easel. Raidon was confused. He was still standing there on the mat - What in the rules and regulations made his opponents win by default?

Raidon blinked again, and realised he was on the floor with a splitting pain in between his eyes. Before him stood Anais, half-lidded eyes with the tip of her top teeth poking out from within her lips.

"What… what happened?" asked Raidon, struggling to get up on all fours. Anais giggled, making Raidon blush a little.

"Barry punched you in the face as soon as he knocked me off the mat! Didn't you feel it?"

Uh, I don't know. You may as well ask a Rapidash if they feel the burning inferno on their backs… stupid.

I was just asking! What? Is it a problem to be concerned for someone's health?

Dude. If I had the answer to everything, I'd be Arceus.

No, if you had the answer to everything, you'd be boring.

My point exactly. I think this calls for a: #Roasted

Raidon rubbed his head and groaned. "Not really. All I remembered was you getting kicked by Barry, and everything seemed to freeze from then on."

Anais kept up her smile and helped the Luxray up to his feet, bringing him over to the bleachers to rest. She really enjoyed the look of his bright blue and relaxing yellow irises. They were gusto in themselves to look at, at the risk of getting caught staring, though.

"Well, we lost, but not shamefully though." Anais took a seat next to Raidon, and suddenly, the pressure in the air increased exponentially for the electric type. "I'd consider myself as a rival against Barry. He's my cousin and all, but I want to surpass him. I need to surpass him."

Raidon actually turned to look at the Sylveon this time. He didn't want to be the first to call her crazy, but…

"What? You'd kind of have to be crazy. Barry… he's unreal! He moves at crazy speeds with crazy strength, but if you talked to him off the mat, he sounds just like he had no experience with battling at all!"

Anais chuckled a bit louder this time. She could tell that that was probably the first impression that he had found upon meeting Barry. "Once you get to know him, you'd realise that he's a big nerd."

Raidon laughed too. He felt himself becoming more and more attracted to the eye-catching Sylveon as he spend time with her. They only permanent obstacle was her affair with Nester, undoubtedly the most popular kid in the school. Those two, he bet, were like an unbreakable covalent bond. One that he'd just have to accept. There were many other Magikarps in the ocean.

Shows what he knows. Magikarps prefer freshwater. #Roasted

It's an expression, ya doofus. Personally, I prefer if you stayed out of my conversations.

Personally, I prefer green shower caps over blue ones, but we can't always have what we want, can we?

I thought that YOU specifically can!

It's an expression, ya doofus.

"So Mr. Brendan Bursyamo, that was a spectacular battle you fought against the Ruby Omegas! How do you feel about your win?"

Brendan used a towel to wipe his face, before looking at the happy Sceptile interviewer holding a microphone to his beak.

"Well, it was a very big match. I know that the Emerald Deltas and the Ruby Omegas have a fierce rivalry: The 'El Clasico' of battling, if you would. Thankfully, we were able to win. Uh, I'd like to thank my best friend Francisco Tornupto for giving me awesome competition, as it was his vicious battle savvy that I thought, should've gotten them the win and the three points. Unfortunately, we were one step ahead. I'd like to thank also, my family at home. I love you, Jasmine, and I hope that you're continuing to train, Barry. Julley and Cass, I hope you're doing well with Anais and Julius. And… My sister, I guess. Hi Bonnie."

The Sceptile grinned profusely as another question popped into his mind. "It's amazing to know how much you care about your family, Brendan. Would you ever think that you would want your son to become a professional battler?"

"Of course, no doubts about it. Battling has been in our blood since day one, and I want to keep that trend up. However, my mother, Aurora Bursyamo, and my father, Borealis Bursyamo, hadn't always been around as I grew up. I don't want to make that same mistake with my son. Barry, my son, has a lot of potential to reach that 100th level. I mean, my battling days are coming to a swift end. I'm thirty-two now, and my arms and legs aren't feeling as active as they used to sixteen years ago, when I first stepped on the mat. Barry's around level 70 now or there about, so I'm certain that he's going to get somewhere with that sort of power."

"That's amazing, Brendan. You're a battler just as good as you are a parent. Now, for the standings. At the top of the URBL table are the Emerald Deltas, with 36 points. Behind them are the Ruby Omegas, wi-"

Unexpectedly, the television turned off. Julley was stunned for a second before he frantically looked all over for the remote. He really wanted to know how the United-Regions Battling league played out so he could join into some conversations at work.

The remote was surprisingly under the furry body of Julius, who was playing around the environment of the house. Julley shook his head as he picked his three year old son by the scruff of his neck off the ground and onto the couch.

"Come on, Julius. Don't play around with the remote." sighed the Umbreon, switching on the television again and putting down the remote on the table. All he wanted to do was watch some .

Julius smiled with mischief being his main portion of emotion, as he got up to mess around with the controls of the remote again. Julley didn't know how he didn't see this coming, as the television switched off once again with a *CLICK*.

"Julius, stop. If you're bored, why don't you go outside while you wait for Anais and Barry to come back home. It's a great and sunny day, isn't it?" told Julley, getting up to scoot the three year old hazard out of the room before he could mess anything else up.

Julius fumbled about in his grasp, before nodding and heading out into the kitchen that lead to the garden, where he could bother his mother. His small Eevee paws met with the soft, distinct sensation of the green grass and occasional vegetable sprouts. His hazel irises saw Cassidy working hard under the scorching glare of the sun, not very optimal for ice types like her. He hopped over to the Glaceon and groomed against her in elation.

"Hello Julius! And how is my cute little sonny doing today?!" squeaked Cassidy, tickling the Eevee with paws of tenderness. Julius giggled and writhed with laughter while trying valiantly to escape from the Glaceon. eventually, she let go of him, but was fed back with fond memories of the times when she used to do the same to Julley in their times of high school.

She plucked an Oran berry off from one of the bushes that she had been growing for years, and gave it to Julius to try. However, Julius moved his mouth away from it, signalling that he either wasn't hungry, or he didn't like what he was seeing. "Nu-uh." he said, backing away from the berry like it was. It was a wonder why the recent generation didn't like Oran berries anymore. Perhaps it had subtle links to her younger brother, now around twenty five years of age.

"What? You don't like them? If you don't eat them, you'll become a loser, like your uncle Cody." Julius' eyes widened greatly, and without a second thought, he dived into the Oran berry bush, shrugging off the grazes from the branches and such and munching on every berry he could see.

Cassidy looked at the rumbling bush, a sweat drop slowly trickling down the side of her head. Eventually, she was able to shake the weird realisation off and try to get her son out of the bush, who then appeared with a mouthful of Oran berries lodged in his maw.

"Oh Julius, you never fail to amuse me. Now come out of there before you get all dirty."

Julius swallowed the food in his mouth, and scampered back inside. Cassidy smiled and walked back in after her son. Being a mother was hard work - she could now empathize with her mother, bringing up all three of her children by herself.

When she entered into the front foyer, she looked upon a photo of all of her family: Julley, Julius, Anais and herself all stared and smiled at the camera. They all looked the same, as this photo was taken only a few months ago. Cassidy's current smile broadened as she saw her children too. She'll never get over the fact that she had a family of her own now. Maybe she'll consider having another child…

"So… What shall we name him?" asked Julley, peering into the wooden cot that held their second child. The small Eevee slept without moving a muscle, snoring every few seconds. At his side stood Cassidy and their thirteen year old daughter, Anais. Cassidy scratched the back of her head.

"I think that we should name him something with relevance to your name, Julley." suggested Cassidy, applying a turquoise paw to the Umbreon's side, stroking his fur caringly. It had been about fourteen years since Julley had audaciously asked her to be his girlfriend, and she hadn't regretted saying 'yes' since.

"Yeah! Maybe we can call him 'Julley Jr.' so I can make fun of him easier!" giggled Anais, peeking over into the cot as well. Cassidy glared grievously at the growing Eevee. "I was just kidding, Mom."

"How about… Juli? July? Julius? Jullian? Julo? Juno?" listed Julley off the top of his head. Names had never been his strong suit. It took Cassidy and her mother to think intricately of what to name their first-born.

"That's it, Julian! Get the birth certificate, Julley!" cried Cassidy, finally coming to an end to what kept her up at night.

"Right, it's here now. What did you say his name shall be?" asked Julley, about to put pen to paper.

"His name will be Juliu- Sorry, I mean Julian." told Cassidy, smiling and hugging her excited daughter.

"Uhh… I thought you said Julius…" croaked Julley.

"What!? Did you make a mistake!?"

"N-No! I-I'll just c-cross it out!"

Cassidy pounced over to the struggling Umbreon, and knocked the pen out of his hand. "No! You can't make any mistakes on a birth certificate!"

Julley stared at the Glaceon dumbfoundedly. "So what should I do!?"

Cassidy's forehead met with her paw in disappointment thanks to the ultimate failure of her husband. At least she was aware that he hadn't changed a bit after all these years. "Just leave it." sighed the Glaceon. "His name will just have to be Julius."

Julley felt like an idiot now. How could he mess up this bad? "I'm s-sorry, Cassidy."

Cassidy looked up, and smiled. "Don't worry dear. Julius is a lovely name." She walked closer to the Umbreon, and wrapped her arms around his neck, embracing his warmth in contrast to her coldness. "And you're my lovely husband. There's no way I could be mad at you."

Julley smiled too, and leaned in to give Cassidy a kiss on her lips.

"HEY! Not in front of me!" shouted Anais, cringing and running out of the room.

Cassidy hadn't told Julley that he was able to just file a name change and get another certificate to sign, but she realised that Julius was a way better name than Julian, so she just let it slide. What Julley didn't know couldn't hurt him - She cared for him in that regard.

Two shadows appeared at the front door that caught Cassidy's attention. The sound of jangling keys emitted from the smaller shadow, before the door was opened, unveiling her eldest daughter and nephew.

"Hi Mom!"

"Good afternoon Aunt Cassidy!"

Cassidy smiled and gave big hugs to both of the Pokemon standing at the doorway, with Julius joining in the fray, ecstatic to see his two best friends back from school. "Good afternoon to both of you, my dears!"

The wave of happiness spread over to Anais' lips, as she joined in with the smile. Barry could only grin as he was squeezed between the paws of the elder Glaceon.

Once they were let go, Anais walked into the lounge and met up with her dad, who was watching the live aftermath of the Ruby Omegas versus the Emerald Deltas.

"Hiya Pops!" said Anais, climbing on the couch and cuddling up to her dad.

"Hi, Uncle Julley." said Barry, calmly sitting down in the seat across from them to enjoy his own personal space.

"Hello guys. How was your school day?" Julley barely looked at the duo walk in; He was completely engrossed in his programme.

"It was decent." answered Anais, wiping her forehead of grime, sweat and other substances that she could've picked up during the school day. "Although, Barry beat me and this other kid, Raidon Atos, in a two-on-two battle, so, you know."

Julley bothered to take his eyes away from the television for one second to look at his daughter. "Hold on - What was his name?" asked the Umbreon, curiously.

"Raidon Atos." replied the Sylveon, but she hadn't seen the significance of his name to her father just yet. Julley only nodded, since it wasn't anything that he should concern his daughter over.

"Right… That's interesting, though. Good job, Barry. But Anais, you need to keep trying. It would be amazing to see a Breon-Solian on the squad roster for the Emerald Deltas when you're older!"

I'm getting the hang of your mortal customs, as I think the following is appropriate. Ahem: #Roasted.

Hey! What are you doing in my room!?

…

Oh, sorry, I thought this was cooking class.

What is actually wrong with you people?

Anais discreetly rolled her eyes at the ignorance of the Umbreon.

"But Dad, there's not a huge majority of battling leagues that would accept women over men. We have to work way harder to get a spot." Julley only shrugged. It wasn't like there was something he could do about that.

"I know that, but you'd get way more popularity if you did get signed one day. For example, do you know Sally Easel?"

Anais nodded. "Sure, she's my gym class teacher, who served at the Emerald Deltas for a few years."

"Aha, but did you know that she was signed the exact same day as Brendan? In fact, she was only 3 levels below him when they were both sixteen, and she was the best female fighter in the whole school! You could try learning from her example." scoffed Julley, looking back at the television just in time to see Brendan deck Tyson in the face during a gruelling battle between the ED's and the RO's.

"I wouldn't go that far, Dad." bluntly stated Anais, getting up and walking upstairs. Julley looked over at Barry, the prodigy marvel of fifteen years old.

"So I bet you're aspiring to be just as great as your father, no?" Barry nodded, although he could've sworn that they had just had this conversation the day before.

"Yeah! I've been working hard during training sessions to make a name for myself, and I really think that I can learn a lot from my dad, too." answered Barry. Julley smiled. What a perfect son that Brendan had. He couldn't be envious of his Blaziken buddy. Instead, he couldn't be any happier.

"That's great. It would be even better if you took Anais to these sessions of yours, too. I know she's really eager about battling, so I really want her to pursue that as a career."

Barry smiled and nodded. "Don't worry at all, uncle. My mom had always told me that I'm good with responsibility."

Julley grinned and gave the Blaziken a little wink, before getting up himself. His duties at work were finally calling back on him for the night shift. As he approached the lounge door, a knock came from the main door. Julley walked over to open it, and found his step-sister being the culprit of accost.

"Hey, broski! What's going on?" giddily said Jasmine, ruffling the top of his head like they did when they were teenagers. "Is Barry here? I wanna take him back home."

Julley nodded, and called the Blaziken up to the door. He hugged his mother upon eye contact. It had been a long while since they had talked, let alone seen each other.

"Great to see you again, Mom!" saluted Barry, sinking into the Lucario's furry warmth, minding the blunt spike on her chest. Jasmine wrapped her toned arms around the shorter Blaziken's muscular body. Jasmine would be elevating this tender moment if it was Brendan in her arms instead of Barry. However, aside from height, eye colour and athleticism, what was the difference?

Who else but Jasmine?!

…

Oh, so I guess it's only funny when Giratina says it? Whatever. I'm outta here.

…

Who else but Arceus?!

"Great to see you too, son." She parted with Barry to take a glance out of respect for her Umbreon brother. "Thanks for taking care of him, too."

"Don't worry about it - It was great to have him around." complemented the father of two, running a paw through his fur. As he said that, an idle Julius, approached the door, reaching out and jumping towards Jasmine with glee.

"Aunt Jasmine! Aunt Jasmine!" called the young and innocent Eevee. Jasmine grinned and scooped Julius into her arms effortlessly.

"And how are you doing, my dear?" said Jasmine, bopping him on his shining black nose. This was a quality of her brother's house that she loved the most out of them all. Julius snuggled deeper into her fur. As addicting as it was, Jasmine had just came back from the hospital; The last thing that someone would want to be doing is exactly that. "Aww, dude! He's so cute!"

Julley laughed a bit. "I don't think he got that from my side, I'll say that."

Jasmine chuckled too. "Isn't it kind of hard to raise him up in a really mature environment? Say, with Anais being sixteen and you guys getting older?"

Julley never really thought about that. Julius had no friends that he spoke of, or that he knew to be honest.

"I'd imagine that he is. What? Did you have anything in mind? Aside from preschool, I don't know any other way he could interact with kids his age." told Julley, huffing as Jasmine set the Eevee down on the ground.

"Well, I was just wanting to repay the favour of giving me the hook up with Barry. You see, my old friend, Alice, has a daughter, too, around Julius' age. If you want, I could contact her and perhaps… arrange a playdate?"

Julley considered his options. Option A stated that there were no other options.

"Uh, I guess that could work, you know. Thanks."

Jasmine put her paw up and waved it from side to side. "Hey now. There's no need to thank me. I'm just an awesome sister."

With that, she ostentatiously sashayed over to her convertible without so much as a goodbye, and hopped into the driver's seat. Barry waved at the two Pokemon standing at the doorway. At least his gratitude was genuine. Following a vroom vroom here and a vroom vroom there, Jasmine revved the engine and swivelled out of her parking spot, hitting the main road in seconds.

As the Lucario drove down the road at a speed of 20 miles per- No, 30 miles per- Nope, 40 miles per hour and counting, she took frequent glances at Barry.

"Hey kid, are you alright?" asked Jasmine, taking a clean left turn at the end of the road.

"I'm fine, thanks." replied Barry, being used to the intense velocities that his mother would drive in.

"Just asking. Anyway, your father came back from Johto early. Supposedly their second battle was rescheduled. All the more time we have to hang out with him, right?" Barry nodded in agreement.

"I guess so. It would be great to see him again. You know, not as a battler, but just as a father."

Jasmine smiled and ruffled her son's head. She seemingly did that to everyone she knew. "Don't you worry, Barry." There was no one to blame, though. Brendan was occupied every which way, therefore he hadn't much time to be raising up Barry like he should.

Jasmine looked at the Blaziken's purple irises and smiled again. "Oh, and by the way sweetie, I hope you remembered your ear plugs for later tonight." Barry took them out from his furry chest area and wagged his head.

"For sure. By the way, Mom, do you think that I'm going to be just as strong as Dad when I'm older?" Jasmine scoffed and slapped her knee to emphasize her point… With wasn't a good idea since that leg was holding the brake.

Whoa, wait - Are we just going to forget completely about the fact that Jasmine just told her son: "Ya, your dad is gonna bang me later tonight. Make sure you don't hear us."

Well I don't know, what do think Latios and Latias do literally every night?

… I gotta put strict rules around here. Starting with that drink of yours.

The car jumped the driver and the passenger equally, although that latter remembered to put on his seatbelt. Jasmine only laughed it off and continued forward. They lived on the street leading up to Talonflame Heights, but couldn't bag a spot there since it was way too expensive to simply rent the place. Jasmine pulled a gnarly parallel park thanks to her skills at the bumper car arena downtown.

"So Barry, have you found any girls you like?" asked Jasmine with a grin on her face. Barry wrapped his chin with a talon. He was sort of meek to these subjects because he had no idea on how to talk to a girl that actually liked him. He was sort of popular thanks to the reign of his father in the battling industry, making many girls want to give him their attention. He was grateful for that, but hadn't much experience with girls his age.

"I'm not sure. There's this Lopunny that keeps looking at me during gym class. I want to talk to her, but I don't know what to say." told Barry, climbing out of the expensive sports car.

"I see. So she's crushing on you. I can't blame them, though. You are your father's son, as well as mine, so you have both of our stunning looks." boasted the Lucario, sandwiching her face between her paws. "Anyway, just go up to her, and perhaps ask her if she needs help with anything homework-wise, or maybe ask her out on a date somewhere. I like Lopunnys. They're cute."

lol wut

Giratina! I thought I told you to stay off the mortal's internet!?

Don't blame me! What do you think Cresselia's doing every night with her computer system?

"Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll ask her tomorrow."

Jasmine opened the door to the Bursyamo residence with her keys, and made herself at home quite quickly. She found her husband, idle, on the couch, looking as if he hadn't had any sleep for six months. He grinned to see his wife and son back after work, opening his arms out for Jasmine to come bounding into them.

"Hello, beautiful. Hiya, Barry." Barry gave a salute to his father. "Sorry about leaving you at Julley's place all this time. I was in a whole different region. Although, I did get you some souvenirs from Johto. They're in the box in the kitchen, if you're wondering."

"Thanks dad."

Barry left the lounge from where his parents initiated a very intense make out. Thankfully, he escaped before the sight was burned into his retinas. The box was indeed in the kitchen, and was about half of his size. Bear in mind, Barry was only five feet and about 6 inches, so to him, it was a pretty big box.

Upon opening it, he found a red hoodie saying "F. Tornupto" on it's back, as well as the crest of a Yvetal on it's front. He assumed that most of the people in Johto were fans of the RO's. Next, there was a T-shirt that said 'Lacrosse' on it's front. It must be a pretty popular sport there. He remembered that there used to be some local Glaceon who was really good at that sport, but couldn't remember her name.

Finally, Barry pulled out another hoodie. He sensed a very big trend here. Anyway, the hoodie was green and had the crest of a Latias in typical Emerald Delta fashion. However, printed on the back was the name "BARRY B. BURSYAMO". If there was anything Barry loved in this world, it was cookies. His second favourite, hands-down, was hoodies. That especially had his name on it, too. All this time, he just wore Everlast High's hoodie make, since they had his name on them. As of now, he had to really work and train hard to bag a spot on a professional team.

"Thanks again, Dad!" Barry shouted from the kitchen. He got muffles as a response. Perhaps the two were still going at it. He'd just thank him later. Now, he had a date with a new hoodie.

Thanks for correcting that, Jirulius. Anyway, It's Sawss here. I think Luan did an amazing job on this chapter, considering it was essentially done by herself. We apologize about the very late update time. I'm sure most of you guys were expecting it the day before.

If you haven't already, take some time to look at the various stories in the 'Pokemon High-School' community. Also, check out 'That Lucario' by Jirulius. You'd be really hooked once you start reading it. It's amazing. Once again, thanks for reading this chapter, and hopefully, we'd work harder on the eighth chapter next week. Thanks again for beta reading, Jirulius :P
