Yay… Yay… I'm finally getting back into the story, just as I'm already starting my new semester. Shame on me, sorry to keep you waiting! Well, here goes! Chapter 4: Roommates, School and Trouble?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Taking a quick shower and changing into his school uniform, Yu headed out the door… with Izanagi right behind. It was impossible to ask him to stay home, the whole 'must not be separate thing'…. Yeah. At least Lucari- I mean Izanagi can stay on school grounds, its close enough and hopefully he won't get in trouble!
The first four classes were a breeze, no attention, no trouble, no questions. As far as Yu was concerned. The fifth class was outdoor gym. The boys were to run track. Once, twice, but three times did Yu see Izanagi peek from his hiding spot before it was his turn to run.
Yu ran half way round track before Izanagi decided to make an appearance – right next to him!
"WTFFFFFFFFFFF!". Yu practically had his hand on his chest. Just what he needed, a heart attack in HIGHSCHOOL!
"What are you doing here?"
'We agreed that I would have to stay close to you'.
"Not that… what are you doing out in the open. People are going to see you".
'Humans already saw me when you had that "scare" episode'.
"What?". Low and behold, some people were starting to point and talk about them.
Was it so much to ask if Yu could have a moment being normal… could he. No.
"Whoa! There's a Pokemon – There's a Lucario! – Let's catch it!". Yu could only wonder if his day would get worse. Thinking fast and avoiding altercation, Yu took hold of Izanagi's hand running a good distance away from the student trainers. Yes, student trainers. Half of the school is for trainers preparing to phase out of school to journey the world. Lucky them.
"Well that was something. Why did you come out?". Like his question wasn't the most obvious thing to ask.
'I wanted to exercise like you humans were doing. It's great training for my typing'. Great.
The two stayed in silence, dipping and dodging trainers till lunch. Yu got in and out under a minute warring off questions about the Pokemon's whereabouts. His friend Yosuke saw the mob and dust clouds, deciding to follow.
'What is this?'. Lucario question as he gazed upon the food Yu had gotten him.
"It's school lunch: Yakisoba bread, chicken salad, mixed berries and milk". Yu listed as he began eating his sushi.
'I was not expecting to get something… thank you master'. Izanagi expressed his gratitude bowing.
"No problem, we're together now. I wouldn't let you starve while I eat… not that cruel; oh and don't call me master, we are partners". Yu mumbled to himself. Smiling.
Lucario just chuckled and started eating. Soon after the two were joined by Yosuke, who conveniently pointed the trainers in the wrong direction. What a good friend!
School let out for our highschoolers and people were going home. Yu and Yosuke joked around till they parted ways.
"See you next week, partner". Waved Yosuke.
Yu and Izanagi gave their greeting and went home. Soon the two found themselves standing outside Yu's front door.
'Why are we not entering, master?'. Izanagi asked, starting to get annoyed by his master's hesitation.
"I'm thinking of how to sneak you in without getting caught. Also thinking of an excuse in case we do get caught". Decision, decision. Why was it so hard?
After a moment the pair finally entered the house. The plan was to sneak quietly past Yu's mother, upstairs to Yu's bedroom, keep Izanagi up there, and repeat the process… only until Yu can get his trainers license. However, fate was a dastardly, evil Giratina waiting for the ambush. Yu's mother!
"Please, please, please, please, please… let him stay! I'm working hard in school, have amazing grades. Just please let me keep him. He came to me all sad and lonely, not wanting to leave my side. I promise to be responsible, I'll work hard to pay for his needs. I'm so close, so close to getting my trainers license. Why can't I be a trainer like HIM". Yu pleaded, countered, protested with all his strength. In the end, the ordeal left him crying.
"Yu. Sigh. Fine". She looked Lucario over and noticed how healthy he was. Clean, strong, bonded really well with her son; enough to comfort him. She had made her decision.
"If you want to be a Pokemon trainer than now's the time to register. Once you get your license you'll have free rein to travel. Just in time to, you'll be finished this year soon….. if this is about catching up to HIM, than I guess I can't stop you anymore… right… Yu?". With that mom left the room before Yu could say anything.
[Months passed and Yu is registered: It's Time!]
In his room, Yu stood looking at an old picture. License pocketed, PokeDex soon acquired, travel bag packed. Izanagi came to stand next to Yu.
'Who is that in the picture with you?'. He had seen the photo before, but for some reason he felt like not prying… unlike with the rest of Yu's stuff.
"Just someone I've been trying to catch up with. Someone very important to me". Yu set aside the picture, picking up his belongings and heading out the door. This would be the perfect chance for Yu to finally reach HIM!
