"Show Me Your Skill! The Test of Dena Kazuki!"
By eshonen
Mrs. Dena Kazuki has finally arrived and dispelled a dangerous situation, showcasing her skills to everybody watching in the process.
Dena: I am Mrs. Dena Kazuki, and I'll be your teacher…provided that you pass my test first~ ^w^
e-chan: Test?
Dena: Yes, a test.
Rukia: No-no-no, not a test! I completely bombed the written test of the entrance exam; how am I going to-?
Dena: Oh no, it's not a test like that, dearie; those will come later ^w^ You see, unlike most of the teachers here at the Pokémon Academy, I'm one of the few that'll take more than the usual amount of other students, but at the same time, I won't be taking in every student that comes to me. No, not unless they have a particular quality; and my test will see if any of you have that particular quality.
Rize: So…what is this quality? :3
Dena: Oh sweetie, if I told you what I was looking for right from the beginning you could bluster your way through my test. No, I want to see how you each fare as you are right now at this very moment.
Sugar: *snatches her arm away from Dena* how can you be a teacher? You're no older than any of us here!
Dena: On the contrary, although I look like this I'm actually 28 years-old. ^w^ If you feel that my skill as a teacher is inadequate, even after what I just showed you, you're free to leave and find another teacher…although in your case I don't think that'll be possible.
Sugar: *makes an angry, pouty face* _#
Dena: Now, before we begin I feel that I should warn you that my methods are a bit unconventional. If you're not sure about what you're about to get yourself into, you're free to leave via the teleporter right now. Even after the test begins, you'll be free to leave anytime you choose; just know that once you leave via the teleporter, you won't be able to warp back here until a new school year starts…or until certain conditions are met. You all have thirty minutes to decide what you're going to do; when thirty minutes have passed by, the test will begin.
*All the students begin to talk with each other, deciding what they're going to do; a small handful of the students actually leave the building and warp out of the area.*
Lucca: Wow, quite a few of them already left.
Riley: I guess that the fear of the unknown must've been too strong for them to handle.
Rukia: But to give up without even trying? I just couldn't do that…
Quirk: … *tugs on e-chan's shirt*
e-chan: …you okay, Quirk?
Quirk: Um…is it okay if I join your team?
e-chan: Wait, you mean that you're not a part of Team Diva?
Quirk: No, I'm not. I accidentally cauzzzzzed a blackout last year while going through the electrical system; Sugar found out and threatened to tell everybody and get me exzzzzpelled. Ever since then I've been her gopher, doing anything she told me to do. I thought that I'd be her zzzzlave forever…but when I got caught in your room last night and you hugged me in your sleep, I felt…safe, loved, like you were someone who would move mountains to help someone in need; and thizzzz morning you confirmed that feeling, so…I want to help you out.
e-chan: In that case, I'd love to have you aboard! :D But...you don't seem to have a Poké Band…
Quirk: Rotoms don't need one. Did you know that Poké Bands have special parts in them made ezzzzpecially for Rotoms? There are even features in every Poké Band that can only be accessed when you have a Rotom with you? Watch!
*Quirk flies into e-chan's Poké Band and activates a hidden program inside of it which makes it, Rize's, Rukia's, Evie's and Raine's band glow for a short period before going back to normal. Quirk exits out of e-chan's band and when he checks it out he sees that Quirk is registered as one of his team members and that quite a few new programs that weren't there before are now accessible but also to the rest of his team mates.*
e-chan: Wow, I'll have to check these programs out later; I look forward to working with you, Quirk! :D And don't worry, I'll help you in explaining that the blackout you caused was an accident to the-
Quirk: About that: when Ms. Sugar pulled Raine and I aside I told her about that and she told me that the true cause of the blackout was due to a large group of Joltik getting into the Power Plant that night and having a very large midnight snack. I wazzzz tricked! ~
e-chan: …well, at least now you know that you're innocent. ^^;
Quirk: Yeah, I guess… -3-
*Meanwhile with Sugar and the rest of Team Diva off in a corner.*
Sugar: That woman; she's not going to get away with humiliating me like that in front of all of those people!
Kyle: But boss, she's a teacher; a strong one at that!
K-Rock: Normally I'm all for a bit of vengeance against ones like her but I get the feeling that taking her on as we are now would be biting off way more than we can chew.
Karoo: So maybe we can just, you know, let it slide this one time?
Sugar: No way; she is going DOWN!
Silk: *sighs* -o-;
*Silk looks around and sees that while some students were indeed rattled and looked quite panicked by Dena's announcement of a test that could end their only chances of securing a teacher, she sees quite a few students that looked very determined and seemed to be talking out a game plan. Among such ones were a green-eyed, dark-skinned cat girl with long, red hair with two twin Meditite girls, a boy that had rodent-like features with a Hitmonlee boy and a Buneary girl, and a tall bat boy with a Piplup boy and a Honedge girl. Then her sight fell on e-chan, Lucca and their Pokémon team mates; it had only been a day since e-chan arrived at the Pokémon Academy and he already had so many friends. In her three years at the academy, Silk really hadn't made any friends with anybody, including her team mates. She originally thought that Sugar was her friend but now with the way that she has been treated by her, Silk is now wondering if Sugar only reached out to her to have somebody who could make outfits for her during Performance lessons and exhibitions. Team Diva just didn't have the closeness that all of these other teams seemed to have; everyday within the group was just tense as each of them just did their best not to piss Sugar off and face her wrath. The more Silk thought about this the more she began to think about making a change for herself this school year…and if she did make that change she wanted to help the rest of the members of Team Diva make a change as well. After all, even though she wasn't particularly close with any of her current team mates she still cared about their well-being. Kyle works so hard on coming up with training programs and strategies for all of them but Sugar only gives him complaints and fails to recognize the purpose of them. Juan had a lot of knowledge but had very low self-esteem that Sugar took advantage of by making him believe that only she would put up with his nerdy ways, even though she doesn't show him any respect for the sacrifices he makes to help her get passing grades. Karoo, on the other hand, knew Sugar's true colors and only hung around to in order to witness the very moment when the others all finally had enough of Sugar's nonsense. K-Rock…was just plain in love with Sugar and basically overlooked everything she did and blindly supported her even if he knew deep down that she was in the wrong; but Silk knew the moment that K-Rock stopped living in denial, Sugar would eventually lose him if she refused to change. In fact, despite the fact that Sugar treated her the way she did, Silk's heart went out to Sugar as well when she reminded herself that she wasn't always the way she was. Silk's thoughts are interrupted when the sound of a whistle pierces through the many voices. It was Mrs. Kazuki; it was now time for her test to start.*
Dena: So is this everybody who has decided to stay? Good; this is a much larger crowd than last year. Now, my test will take place on the roof, so everybody please make your way up there.
*Everybody in attendance makes their way to the stairwell and goes up the three flights of stairs, passing up a class room and teacher's office on the second floor, an entirely empty third floor and then finally the roof top. Once everybody is on the roof top, Dena Kazuki goes over to a corner where an inactive teleport was then activated it.*
Dena: Now, my test is very simple; you all are going to take my team on in a battle. You each can come at us separately or as teams and you can choose which one of us you'd like as an opponent. Oh, and just so that I'm absolutely clear, we'll be using the Unlimited battle rules, which means that you can choose to battle me as well.
*A few of the students gasp and begin to talk to each other about this bizarre choice of battle.*
Sugar: Perfect *cracks her knuckles* just the chance I was looking for… :devilish:
Dena: Now, to introduce the members of my team helping me in this little test. You've all already met Miss Shinobu…
*The Bisharp woman stands next to Dena then bows.*
Dena: Now I'd like to introduce you all to three other members of my team that are here to help me conduct this test. First up, Big Boss!
*A Shiftry man dressed in ninja garb descends from the tree canopy onto the roof top in stylish manner.*
Big Boss: *shoots a glare at the students as he takes a battle stance, whipping up a small whirlwind of leaves that circle around him*
Dena: And of course, Boss Kuro!
*A Honchcrow woman dressed as if she were a lady mob boss flies down to the roof top next to Big Boss.*
Boss Kuro: *lifts her hat to reveal that her hair was also shaped like her hat then tosses it like a boomerang, where it effortlessly cuts through some tree limbs before returning to her where she catches it and puts it back on her head*
Dena: And last but not least, Daria!
*A few seconds pass by but Daria doesn't show.*
Dena: …uh, friends, did Daria come with you?
Boss Kuro: She's here but I don't think that she's going to come out anytime soon…
Dena: Why not?
Big Boss: *motions to the big crowd of students before them all*
Dena: Oh yeah, right; Daria doesn't do well at all in huge crowds in close proximity like this ^^; Sorry, I forgot, Daria, you can sit this one out if you need to; I'll understand. ^w^
*The students look to one another, confused as to why Dena was saying all of that out loud to a person that wasn't there…well, all except for e-chan who knew exactly who Dena was talking to.*
e-chan: Aw man, I was hoping I'd get to meet Daria in the flesh! I've got SO many questions for her…
Rukia: You seem to know a lot regarding Mrs. Kazuki; just who is she?
e-chan: You mean that you don't know!? I thought that everybody knew about her at this point…well, you see, Dena Kazuki is-
Dena: As I mentioned earlier, you are all free to leave at any time; just keep in mind that you won't be able to return to this area…unless certain conditions are met. To any of you who can defeat us you'll have a guaranteed spot in my class. So…who's up first? ^w^
*The students all look to one another, waiting for somebody to make the first move; just before e-chan could move to challenge Dena, one team of three steps forward. This team was led by a young dark-skinned girl with red hair and green eyes; she seemed to be a rare breed of Nekofi known as a Were-Nekofi. Her two Pokémon team mates were two twin Meditite girls.*
All 3: We do!
Angel: I'm Angel Nitori from Canalave City of the Sinnoh region of Earth. These are my friends, Pied and Piper, and we challenge you! XD
Dena: I like that eagerness; which of us do you choose as your opponent?
Angel: The three of us knew from the beginning that our opponent would have to be you, Miss Shinobu!
Shinobu: Alright then, I accept your challenge. *nods*
*Angel, Pied, Piper and Shinobu all step forward to the center of the rooftop.*
Pied: Um, before we begin… w
Piper: We'd all just like to say that…we're…we're… w
Angel: We're all such huge fans! *jumps excitedly*
Shinobu: Why thank you; I look forward to seeing how you three grow throughout the year. ^w^ *takes a battle stance* now show me what you've got; don't hold back! w
Dena: Ready? Battle, begin!
*Shinobu dashes off towards Pied and Piper, aiming to attack both of them using Aerial Ace.*
Angel: Pied, Piper, jump up and dodge!
Pied and Piper: *does so and jumps up high*
Shinobu: You won't escape~ XD
Angel: *dashes forth and grabs Shinobu by her arms*
Shinobu: Huh!? *tries to free her arms from Angel's grip but can't due to Angel's raw physical strength*
Angel: Now, do it! Gatling Force Palm!
*As both Pied and Piper begin to fall, they reposition themselves upside down and then rapidly use Force Palm to rain multiple attacks down on Shinobu, all of them causing huge damage and even inducing the Paralysis status condition.*
Angel: Now, hold her still!
Pied and Piper: *each grabs one of Shinobu's arms*
Angel: I'm going to end this in one hit! *begins channeling power into her right arm*
Shinobu: (Focus Punch, eh?) *begins to focus her energy*
Angel: *finishes gathering her energy* Here it come! One-Hit KO! Focus Punch!
*Just as Angel is throwing her punch, Shinobu completely shakes off the paralysis then grabs a hold of both Pied and Piper, lifts them up and pulls them in front of her to act as a shield. Angel's attack connects with her team mates with explosive power, knocking them both out in the process.*
Pied and Piper: o *out cold*
Angel: EEEEEEEP! I'M SO SORRY, GUYS! QxQ
Shinobu: *releases Pied and Piper then stands up* you three battled very well *pops the kinks out of her neck* I look forward to seeing just how much stronger you three can get ^w^ *head glows brightly as she head butts Angel's forehead hard using Iron Head*
Angel: QwQ … w *faints*
Dena: And the winner is, Shinobu! ^o^
*Shinobu picks up all three girls and carries them out of the ring to rest.*
Dena: Now then, any more challengers? ^w^
*The students once again begin talking to one another, wondering if it was even possible for them to defeat Dena and her team mates.*
e-chan: Now's our chance! :D C'mon, let's go n-
Sugar: I challenge you! n
*All eyes turn towards Sugar and the rest of Team Diva as they walk to the center of roof top battle ring.*
Sugar: I am Sugar, the strongest one out of all of these candidates; and we challenge you, Kazuki! You and you alone…
Dena: Of course ^w^ *steps forward into the battle ring*
Kyle: Okay boss, we know that our opponent has the ability to stop us from providing energy to each other and render special attacks useless, so what I recomm-
Sugar: The only thing we need to do is overwhelm her with our numbers. I don't care how good she supposedly is; nobody can take on six opponents and win.
Kyle: But boss, just because we outnumber her doesn't mean that we-
Sugar: Just do your job and make sure that you provide me with energy; that is all you need to do.
Kyle: …okay boss…
Sugar: That goes for all of you, too; keep that energy up and flowing into me or no desert for you tonight! o
Kyle, Juan, Silk, K-Rock and Karoo: *groans*
Dena: *chuckles to herself* Battle, begin!
*Kyle, Juan, Silk, K-Rock and Karoo begin channeling their energy into Sugar who then creates an Energy Ball attack just like the one she made earlier.*
Dena: :3
Sugar: Take this! *hurls the massive Energy Ball at Dena*
Dena: *simply smacks the attack away into the air where it explodes with huge power*
Sugar: *fires multiple Energy Balls in the air above Dena then holds them in place with Psychic before sending them hurdling at Dena like green meteors*
Dena: *simply sidesteps the raining attacks, occasionally batting them away*
Sugar: Ha! Got you! XD
*Suddenly a gigantic blast of energy comes out of nowhere at Dena; apparently Sugar had used Future Sight before the battle had even begun and it was just now activating. Despite it being a very smart tactic, Dena wasn't phased in the slightest as she simply just moved out of the way, knowing exactly where the attack was coming from.*
Sugar: WHAT!? OoO
Dena: That was quite underhanded just now: using Future Sight on me before the battle officially began. The way the leaves in the trees surrounding us shook despite there being no breeze whatsoever, that's a clear sight of an attack like Future Sight being used.
Sugar: So what? The condition for getting in your class was to defeat any of you *dashes towards Dena* and that's just what I intend to do! o
*Sugar throws a series of Pound attacks at Dena who easily dodges each and every one.*
Dena: *dodging the incoming attacks* you've got potential but there is a LOT that you need to learn before you can become great *throws one well aimed, powerful punch in Sugar's gut*
Sugar: ACK! O3O *goes limp and falls to the ground coughing*
Kyle, Juan, Silk, K-Rock and Karoo: OoO … *stop providing energy to Sugar*
Sugar: *weakly tries to get back up but is unable to due to the pain then passes out, defeated*
Riley: Wow did you see that? She didn't use any attacks at her disposal, just a simple punch.
Lucca: Just who is she?
e-chan: A Universal Champion.
Lucca: Universal Champion?
e-chan: That title is reserved exclusively for those in the Pokémon League who win at the Universal Pokémon League Games held every four years. Only three teams are given that title at the end of that special League: one for battle teams, one for sports teams and one for performer teams. The one you see before you is Dena Kazuki, leader of Team Shadow Majesty, and wife to the Legendary Champion, Arzekiel Kazuki, leader of Team Cosmic Drake!
Upon hearing this piece of news, all of the students erupt in gasps at the realization of the one in front of them. The one testing them was a Universal Champion!
