Ruby Rocked
Chapter 3: Academy Hijinks
-Airship to Beacon; A Few Days Later- Bradley looked out the window as Ruby was bear hugged by Yang.
"I can't believe my little sister and my boyfriend are gonna attend Beacon with me!" Yang giggled as she swung Ruby around.
"Oof... Can't... Breathe," Ruby gasped.
"Ok, Yang... Let her go," Bradley sighed as he shook his head.
"Okay," Yang said as she lets Ruby go and Ruby gasped.
"Thank you," Ruby groaned.
"No problem," Bradley smirked. He stood up and looked at Sparx... Who was wandering around and looking at everyone. Suddenly, he stopped and looked up at a certain girl with tiger ears and a tail.
"Chu!" Sparx said in amazement.
"Oh, hello there... You look so cute!" the girl smiled as she picked Sparx up and hugged him.
"Pika! Pikachu!" Sparx called as electricity sparked from his cheeks. He accidentally shocked the tiger girl and she lets out a shout of surprise. When Sparx stopped shocking her, she was charred black and soot came out of her mouth as she fell backwards.
"Pika Pika! Chu!" Sparx panicked as he shook the girl.
"Wowie! That was tingly!" the girl giggled as she sat up and pets Sparx's head.
"Ka!" Sparx smiled as he snuggled into the girl's arms.
"Excuse me... That's my little buddy you're holding," Bradley told the girl.
"Oh! I'm sorry... I just couldn't resist his cuteness!" the tiger girl giggled as she stood up, "Shelia Valentine... Nice to meet you."
"Bradley Phoenix. That's my little buddy, Sparx the Pikachu," Bradley smiled. Sparx waved up to Sheila and smiled at her.
"Pikachu," Sparx smiled.
"It's nice to meet you, too!" Shelia giggled as she looked down at Sparx.
"Jeez... Can't a guy get a little rest around here?" a male voice grumbled. An orange haired boy sat up and took his orange hood off of his green eyes.
"I wouldn't be sleeping on a big old tub like this," Callison's voice called to them. She walked up to Bradley and smiled.
"Callie... Nice to see you again," Bradley told her, "Where did you go that night?"
"Well... I was heading back to Beacon. But, I missed my ride," Callison sighed as she shook her head, "The woman that helped you and Ruby is... My mother, Glenda Goodwitch."
"Yo... What? That was your mother?" Bradley gasped as he looked at Callison.
"Yep..." Callison smirked, "She taught me everything I know."
"Hmm... That's good to know," Sheila smiled as she hugged Sparx again.
"Pika! Pika..." Sparx panicked as he was smothered in Sheila's huge bust.
"Uh... Sparx?" Bradley said.
"PIKA!" Sparx called as he zapped Sheila again. Sheila lets out another squeak as she was zapped with thousand volts of electricity. When Sparx stopped, Sheila fell backwards and coughed out soot.
"Wowzers... That really smarts," Sheila said. Sparx hopped out of Sheila's arms and raced over to Ruby. He hops onto Ruby's shoulder and hid behind Ruby's head.
"We can still see you, Sparx... I'm sorry, Sheila. Sparx isn't exactly used to hugs like that," Bradley told Sheila, "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay!" Sheila giggled as she shook the soot off of her.
"Can a guy get some rest around here?!" the same male growled as he sat up and glared at Bradley and Sheila.
"Excuse me, bruh! We're trying to talk here!" Bradley told him.
"The name's Ryan Camelot... And, I'm not your bro!" the male told Bradley.
"Hey, guys... Calm down. We're not here to fight each other," Yang told them as she got in between them.
"Look, we're sorry for making a lot of noise and waking you up... But, there are other places to nap," Bradley told Ryan.
"..."
"Truce?"
"Fine." Ryan and Bradley shook hands.
"Name's Phoenix... Bradley Phoenix. This is my girlfriend, Yang Xiao Long," Bradley told him, "That's Callison Northwind, a friend of ours... This is Sheila Valentine... And, this is Ruby Rose. Ruby is Yang's younger sister."
"Hi there! It's very nice to meet you!" Sheila giggled as she shook Ryan's hand.
"Nice to meet you," Callison said respectfully.
"Hi there," Yang smirked.
"Hello," Ruby smiled.
"Oh... And, the little yellow mouse is Sparx the Pikachu," Bradley said. Sparx poked his head from behind Ruby and waved at Ryan.
"Cute... Well, I'm gonna sleep over there," Ryan told them, "I had a long night of slaying Grimm near my homeland." He laid down on a bench and fell asleep.
"Oh... That's why he was tired," Callison realized as she fold her arms.
"Ok... Well, we're almost there, anyway," Yang called to the others as she walked up to a window. Suddenly, a blonde male rushed past Yang and bent over, vomiting on Bradley's shoes.
"Dagh! Watch it, you idiot!" Bradley roared as he picked the male up by the shoulders and hoisted him into the air, "Those are my favorite shoes!"
"Ugh... Sorry," the male groaned, "I don't like flying..."
"Watch where you hurl, man... I only bought 2 pairs with me," Bradley told him as he dropped the male.
"Excuse me... I have to go barf again," the male groaned as he raced past Bradley.
"Eww! Get away from me! Get away!" Ruby panicked as the male raced past her.
"Aww, man... My shoes," Bradley groaned as he looked at his favorite gold and black shoes all covered in puke, "That's gonna stain... What do I do?"
"Pika..." Sparx said.
"Oh, right... SirKnight, could you lend me a hand?" Bradley asked as he tossed out a black Poke Ball. SirKnight came out and looked at Bradley's shoes.
"Those are the shoes your father gave you before you headed out to Unova, right?" SirKnight asked Bradley.
"Yep... And, now... Some quirky idiot puked all over them. Could you use Hidden Power and wash them off for me?" Bradley asked her.
"Of course... This will only take a second," SirKnight smiled as she held a blue orb in the middle of her hands. She hovered the blue orb over Bradley's shoes and the puke immediately washed off his shoes.
"Thank you, SirKnight... You're a lifesaver," Bradley smiled as he dried off his shoes. She smiled and nodded as she evaporates the blue orb with the puke inside and bowed to Bradley.
"You know I got your back," SirKnight smiled.
-Beacon Academy; A Little Later- The airship lands on a platform and several groups of students walked out of the airship. The blonde male rushed out of the airship and stopped near a trash can. He ducked his head inside and vomits into the trash can.
"Poor guy," a voice called. Bradley and his friends walked past him and up to the courtyard... Where there was a large fountain in the middle of the square and many students passed by it.
"Wow..." Yang and Ruby called as they looked on in amazement.
"This is Beacon... Every huntsman and huntress' alma mater," Callison called as she looked around.
"This looks a lot like Lighthouse Academy," Bradley told SirKnight, "Brings back memories, huh?"
"Yeah... This school is prestigious, all right," SirKnight said, "I miss Hilda and Satoni... They were real good friends."
"Yeah... Same here," Bradley sighed as he walked ahead of everyone.
"Hey, you okay?" Yang called as she grabbed Bradley's arm and looked at him.
"Yeah, sorry... I'm just having a trip down memory lane," Bradley smiled as he looked up at the large school building, "I'm okay, Yang. But... This takes me back to when I was 12 and I attended school for a little bit at this academy called Lighthouse Academy. I was there for 2 years and I made a lot of friends... Including 2 kids named Satoni Ketchum and Hilda Berlitz. We were the top 3 ranked in the entire school... And, that really didn't matter to us. All we wanted to do is become closer to our Pokémon... But, one day... Satoni was killed in a tragic accident by a pack of wild Tauros. Hilda and I were devastated by it. But, after his death... His brother told me to never worry. Life happens... And, it'll hit you harder than a Bouffalant's Head Charge," Bradley told Yang.
"Oh, jeez... I'm sorry for your loss," Yang told him.
"It's okay, Yang... I'm fine. Wait... Where's Sparx and Ruby?" Bradley asked as he looked around.
"Oh... I think they're by the courtyard," Yang told him, "I'm sure they're fine... Besides... You and I have some catching up to do."
"Oh, boy..." Bradley said as Yang pulled him away.
-Meanwhile- Ruby was being chewed out by a long white haired girl as Sparx hid behind Ruby's left leg.
"What do you have to say for yourself?!" the girl scolded Ruby as she shook a bottle of dust into Ruby's face. Ruby sneezed and an explosion blew her off her feet. Sparx rolled backwards and stopped when Ruby lands on her back.
"You imbecile! Now, look at what you did!"
"You waved dust into my nose... It was bound to happen," Ruby told the girl.
"Do you know who I am?" the girl asked seriously as she glared at Ruby.
"Weiss Schnee... Heir to the Schnee Dust company. Home to many different fawness labor laws being broken, that is," a black haired girl told the white haired girl as she walked up to Ruby and helped her to her feet.
"Why, you... Oh!" the white haired girl scoffed and walked off.
"Thanks..." Ruby said... But, as she turned... The girl who helped her was walking off.
"Ok..." Ruby sighed. Suddenly, the blonde male from before walked up to Ruby and smiled.
"Hi there... I'm Jaune Arc," he smiled as he held out his hand.
"Ruby... This is Sparx," Ruby smiled as she shook his hand, "Wait... Are you the guy who puked on my sister's boyfriend's shoes?"
-Later- Ruby and Jaune walked and talked with each other as they passed by several other people.
"All I'm saying is... Air sickness is not a laughing matter. It sucks," Jaune told Ruby.
"I believe you... Besides... I'm here to show my stuff. You can't let something like that keep you down," Ruby told Jaune.
"Yeah... You're right. Thanks, Crater Face," Jaune teased.
"Hey! I'm trying to help you!" Ruby scolded Jaune.
"Sorry, sorry... By the way, what's that thing on your shoulder?" Jaune asked as he points at Sparx.
"Oh, him? This is Sparx," Ruby told Jaune, "Isn't he cute?"
"Yeah... For a yellow creature," Jaune said. Electricity sparked from Sparx's cheeks.
"Hey, don't be like that! Sparx has feelings, too!" Ruby told Jaune.
"Right... Sorry," Jaune said, "Anyway... What kind of weapon do you have?" Ruby pulled out her collapsible scythe and held it out in front of her.
"This is Crescent Rose... My weapon of choice. It's a large scythe... But, it also doubles as a high powered sniper rifle," Ruby smirked as she spun her scythe behind her and set it on her right side.
"Whoa..." Jaune said.
"Well, I still have to make a few modifications to it..." Ruby said.
"Wait... You made that thing?!" Jaune gasped. Sparx looked at Ruby in shock.
"Yep... This is my pride and joy," Ruby smiled.
-Meanwhile- Bradley and Yang walked past a large classroom and stopped.
"So, let me get this straight... You're a champion of your home region?" Yang asked as she leaned her back against the wall.
"Yes..." Bradley said as he did the same.
"Also, you beaten 5 regions... But, you're not done with Unova?" Yang asked.
"Correct," Bradley told her.
"And, this being called Arceus... It summoned you to a rift in time and space and brought you here?" Yang asked.
"Bingo," Bradley smiled, "You catch on fast, Yang."
"If you told me all that when we first met... I would've knocked you out and blocked that memory out," Yang told him as she looked at him, "But, obviously... After seeing you in action, how can I not believe you?"
"Well... You could always punch me," Bradley joked.
"What good will that do?" Yang asked him.
"Just in case," Bradley laughed.
"You are one weird individual, Bradley Phoenix," Yang smirked as she punched him in the left shoulder.
"See? I know what you'll do next before you realize it," Bradley told her.
"How do you do that, anyway?" Yang asked curiously.
"Well, you remember back at the club? That attack I did? Aura Sphere? It's part of my abilities... Or, Aura Mastery. I've did a lot of special training myself and that was the result," Bradley told her.
"Ahh... That makes sense," Yang said, "Hey, we'd better get to the auditorium... They might be waiting on us."
"True," Bradley said he stood up straight, "Do you know the way?"
"No," Yang said simply as she looked at him.
"Didn't think so," Bradley teased. Yang punched Bradley on the shoulder again.
"You're so stupid," Yang giggled as she kissed him.
"Mm... Strawberry," Bradley smirked as he kissed Yang, "One of my favorite flavors..."
"I know you so well, huh?" Yang giggled as she held him. He nods as he kissed her again.
"Get a room, you two," a voice called. A dark skinned male walked up to them and frowned.
"Ahem!" Bradley coughed as he and Yang quickly separated and looked at the male. He had brown eyes and black hair in an afro. He also had sharp teeth and a snout as well.
"Another faunus," Yang said as she looked at him, "A lot of faunus are attending Beacon thus year, huh?"
"You can say that again," the male growled as he walked up to Bradley, "You try anything with any of the faunus... It won't be a nice time for you, pal."
"All right, wolfie... Back off," Yang told him.
"No, Yang... It's ok," Bradley told Yang, "I promise... Now, you promise not to bother me in return."
"Deal... Now, you'd better get moving to the auditorium. The meeting is gonna start," the male said as he walked off.
"Wait a minute," Bradley called to him. The male stopped and he turned back to Bradley.
"What?" he asked.
"What's your name?"
"Jonah Lancelot."
"Bradley Phoenix. This is Yang Xiao Long," Bradley told him. Jonah nods and walked off.
"We'd better follow him... Or, we might get lost," Yang told Bradley.
"Right... Come on," Bradley said as he followed Jonah. Yang followed behind them.
