Chapter 27 Learn to Work Together [Follow Your Heart Extra: The original name for this chapter was 'Field Trip!']
Third Person POV
Dawn walked up to her friends in a new style.
She was wearing a hot pink, short sleeved shirt that said 'punk's not dead' in small, black letters under a black, leather waits coat with white gems on the torso; a hot pink skirt with a black plaid pattern and black lace on the hem over black, sheer tights under black ankle boots; black, elbow length, fingers gloves; a hot pink bracelet with white spikes on her wrist and a hot pink chocker with white spikes on it.
Her hair had pink highlights in it and was straight and loose.
She was wearing hot pink eyeshadow with black eyeshadow around it; black mascara; hot pink blush and hot pink lipstick with black lipliner.
Her nails were painted hot pink with black skulls and crossbones on them.
"Hey Dawn", Misty greeted. "What's the look today?"
"Punk", Dawn replied.
"Nice", Iris stated.
Suddenly, the Rotten Core Four walked in.
"Alright", Sky said getting everyone's attention. "Listen up losers! If you any of you are thinking about making a move on Gary, forget it!"
"That's right", Gary confirmed. "The greatest couple in the academy is together again!"
With that Gary and Sky walked away while Cora and Belle cheered for them! [Follow Your Heart Extra: Isn't that a little much?]
"Wait", Dawn said in confusion. "They're back together? After everything that happened?"
"Oh my word", Drew said before putting his head on the table.
Suddenly, Oliver walked in.
"Alright class", he started. "Everyone who is participating in Principle Yūijin's tag team tournament please came to the front of the classroom please." [Follow Your Heart Extra: That's Sophie by the way.]
With that everybody participating in the tournament went to the front of the classroom.
"Alright", Oliver started. "Progress update. How is your strategising going?"
"Um", Dawn started. "We haven't been able to Mr Genkaku."
"What", Oliver yelled in shock. "Now why haven't you?"
"We've been trying to but they won't let us", Dawn stated referring to the Rotten Core Four.
"And why is this?"
Everybody turned around and saw Sophie.
She walked up to the group.
"Why are you not listening to your partners strategy ideas", she asked.
"Well you see Principle Yūijin", Gary started. "Our's is just better!" [Follow Your Heart Extra: That's Sophie by the way.]
"Have you heard your partners strategy plans yet", Sophie asked.
"Well no", Gary started. "But..."
"Exactly", Sophie stated. "How do you know if your strategies are better if you even haven't heard your partners suggestions?"
"Um...", Gary started.
Sophie sighed before putting her hand on her forehead.
"Listen guys", she started as she removed her hand. "This is a tag team tournament. That means you need to work WITH your teammate. Do I make myself clear?"
Everybody sighed in defeat.
"Yes Principle Yūijin", everybody replied.
"Good", Sophie replied. "Now for more happy news. We have been invited to the backstage of a Coordinator's concert tonight at the Pallet Town Convention Centre! She was actually a student here."
"Really", Dawn asked excitedly. "Who is it?"
"The one and only...DIAMOND STAR!" [Follow Your Heart Extra: For those who don't remember...Dawn mentioned Diamond Star in the last chapter.]
"Oh my word", Dawn said in shock. "The Diamond Star! I love her!"
And that's when Dawn got an idea.
She raised her hand.
"Principle Yūijin", she said. "Is it okay if we invite people?"
"That depends", Sophie started. "Who do you want to invite?"
"My friend May", Dawn replied. "She's a great coordinator from Hoenn. They even call her the Hoenn Princess!"
"The Hoenn Princess", Sophie said. "Well, you've got to be a good coordinator to get a nickname like that."
"Oh she is", Drew stated. "We went on our journey together!"
"Well then", Sophie started. "I would be more than happy to let May come with."
Before Sophie could say anything more...Oliver pulled her to the side.
"What are you doing", he asked her. "If you let one person take bring somebody then everybody is going to bring somebody."
"Well luckily I am not the one taking the kids to this event", Sophie revealed. "You and Ashton are."
HotXbun: So, the kids from the academy are going to a concert at the same place Ash and his father are going to watch a tournament. Interesting.
Challenge: Tell me what you think is going to happen at the concert.
My Answer: A lot.
