"Pokémon: Poké High School"
Chapter 2 – History High Jinks:
"Silence Class. I'm Professor Kabutops, your History Teacher."
A young woman with long brown hair and menacing hazel eyes prepared all of the materials necessary for her class. Her clothes were somewhat uncommon, consisting on tribal-like armor with some modernizations, such as the metallic boots and gauntlets.
"Teacher!" Everybody turned to Lucario, a noteworthy student, with high marks in both theory classes and practical activities, such as fighting. Red eyes and blue hair, wearing short sleeved blue and yellow shirt and blue shorts, he was always ready for a battle. His hand was raised up high.
"A question already? The class hasn't even begun."
"It's more of a personal question." Lucario justified. "Was it really necessary to bring your scythes?"
Kabutops looked aside, finding her signature weapons, a pair of scythes she usually carried in her hands. "Is there a problem?"
"Not necessarily, but it might be intimidating to other students."
"Then how come that boy over there brought his own weapon?"
All of the classmates turned to Gallade, whose tonfa was right next to him.
"…I have my reasons."
"And so do I." Kabutops affirmed, making Lucario accept defeat. After every note was set in place, Kabutops gave an official start to the class.
"The creation of the universe took place by the one thousand hands of Arceus, who emerged from a cosmic egg, and used it to create the cosmos."
"…Is this really history?" Sylveon wondered to herself, noticing that all of her classmates must have been thinking the same as her.
In the middle of the void, many billions of years ago…
A single being floated around, with her hands placed behind her head and staring at seemingly nothing.
"…This is really boring… Hmm? Maybe I could… Nah, nah, that would be stupid… Unless…"
And that's how the universe was formed.
"Shortly after, Arceus created three other deities, for each one of them to look over Time, Space and Anti-Matter respectively. These were named Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. While Dialga and Palkia had their own dimensions to control Time and Space, Giratina couldn't leave its own dimension, the Distortion World."
"Why?" Zoroark, a girl with blue eyes, red hair with black highlights, wearing a rather seductive black outfit, let the question escape through her lips.
"That has remained undetermined."
"Arceus!" Dialga and Palkia, knight-like men clad in armor, yelled, making the Goddess of the Universe appear.
"Okay, what is it this time?"
"Giratina destroyed the world again."
"Damn it Giratina!" Arceus yelled at the third deity, a shy woman with long pale blonde hair and black red eyes, bearing large black wings.
"I-I'm sorry…"
"How many times have I told you not to touch my things?! That's it, go to your room and think about what you did!"
"Okay…"
Creating a portal, Giratina entered the Distortion World, not looking back to an angry Arceus with her arms crossed and a taken aback Dialga and Palkia.
"Boy, she sure is moody today."
"You tell me."
"And no dinner for you until you've learned your lesson!" Arceus marched off. "I can't believe I have to start everything from scratch. Again!"
"Shortly after our world was created, three new beings came forth in order to help giving shape to it, named Rayquaza, Groundon and Kyogre, the first being a sort of leader to the trio."
"The land is better!"
"No, the sea is better!"
Rayquaza couldn't bear it anymore. She couldn't stand the noise any longer. Her yellow eyes fixated on the man with red spikey hair and the woman with long blue hair, both wearing clothes with intriguing patterns.
The leader of the Weather Trio appeared, her deep green long and thin hair flowing along the strong air current. Arms crossed, wearing green menacing armor, Kyogre and Groundon looked up and flinched.
"R-Rayquaza…"
"…WILL YOU TWO KIDS SHUT UP ALREADY!?" Her yells made the two shiver in fear. "It doesn't matter which one is better, so just shut it!" Rayquaza turned back, ready to return to the ozone layer, until she turned to the other two. "The sky is better anyway."
"Following their creation, three more Deities were created: Lugia, Ho-Oh and Regigigas, in order to watch over the oceans, skies and land respectively. Regigigas even moved the continents around with the use of ropes."
"Alright, hold it!"
Kabutops looked up and found a boy standing up straight, wearing an expression of disbelief. The spiky green hair with matching clothes contrasted with his red eyes.
"Is there a problem, Mr. Tyranitar?"
"Do you really expect us to believe that this so called 'Regigigas' managed to move great masses of land with ROPES?! The Arceus thing is already a bit hard to believe, but that's flat out ridiculous! Where exactly is the proof that that actually happened?"
"I was there, you know?"
Everybody in the class flinched.
"…I'm sorry, what?"
"I was there."
"B-But you're…"
"300 Million."
"…I'm sorry, what?"
"I am 300 Million years old."
Everyone dropped their jaws in confusion.
"But you look like you're 27!"
"Oh, thanks, I try." Kabutops, for once, broke her serious expression and giggled, blushing.
Tyranitar gave up and sat down, hanging his head low, just like the rest of the class.
"Weirdest. Class. Ever." Gallade admitted, as he popped open a soda can. He and Gardevoir had decided to use the break to fetch for some drinks. While Gallade immediately picked his favorite, the Enigma Berry Cola, Gardevoir liked to vary every now and then and try out new flavors in the Drink Machine at the school's corridor.
"It wasn't a bad one…"
"Yeah, but seriously, it sounds more like a cult or religion than… actual History."
"We've only been learning recent History in previous years, no wonder everybody's reacting badly to Kabutops's class… Oh!" Gardevoir spotted a flavor that picked her curiosity. Pressing the button after inserting the coin, the drink dropped down.
As Gardevoir bent down in order to pick it up, Gallade asked. "What are you going to drink?"
"Tamato Coffee!"
Gallade suddenly spat out a small burst of his drink and coughed. "What?!"
"What's wrong?" She was genuinely confused.
"Tamato Coffee, that's what's wrong!" Gallade pointed out. "What kind of demon would come up with something like that?!"
"Oh, don't be like that. It can't be that bad." Gardevoir optimistically opened the can and placed her lips on the rim. Tilting it back, she took a long sip and upon swallowing, her cheeks flustered in pink. "So good…!"
"Wait, what? Let me try…" Gardevoir and Gallade exchanged cans, but just as he was about to drink, he stopped and stared at the wet rim. "Wait, is this an indirect kiss?! … D-Don't think about it…" Taking a sip himself, Gardevoir observed he boy removed the can from his lips, handing her the can, and, after taking it into her free hand, falling forward into the floor.
"G-Gallade?!"
"Call an ambulance…!"
"R-Right!"
Lucario and Tyranitar chatted, both leaning against the lockers, until the one with spikier hair spotted the remaining members of their little group approach: Manectric, Flygon, Salamence and Metagross.
Manectric wore simple blue and yellow clothes, and his red eyes showed confidence to do anything. Not to mention, his stylish blond hair was rather captivating.
Flygon preferred to wear a green dress and matching stockings. Her green hair was styled as two long pigtails, both tied up by a round red hairband accessory, which matched her eyes rather nicely. Another noteworthy detail would be her long tail with a fan-like fin at the very end, and her thin green wings outlined in red.
Salamence's outfit was mainly blue, just like his hair. Oddly enough, it was styled to resemble his red wings.
Metagross was yet another female, but with a rather odd sense of style. She wore a skin suit, along with metallic gauntlets and greaves, in addition to a belt around her waist and a small one around her neck. A silver 'X' covered her face, showing her red emotionless eyes. Her hair, however, was much more normal, being colored teal and styled as neck lengthened pigtails.
"Hey guys." Tyranitar rose a hand, as if saying hi. Lucario turned and smirked, happy to seehis closest friends as well.
"What's up?"
"Nothing much." Manectric responded. "What about you?"
Lucario frowned at his friend's cocky look. "What about me?"
"How are things between you and Zoroark?" Manectric's teasing look made Flygon giggle and Salamence chuckle. But what made Tyranitar laugh was the popping vein on Lucario's forehead.
"As they've always been." Crossing his arms, he leaned back onto the lockers.
"Oh, c'mon, don't be like that." Salamence poked Lucario with his elbow.
"Give us details!" Flygon begged, despite knowing that Lucario and Zoroark had nothing going on in between them. It really was just a teasing joke due to certain events that transpired the previous year, not to mention that they were indeed cute to be seen together.
Lucario simply leered at his friend and poked her forehead. "Oh yeah, what about you and Salamence?"
"What about me and Salamence?" Flygon was completely oblivious to the major crush Salamence had on her. One couldn't tell whether or not she had actual feelings for him beyond friendship, but the point is, Salamence got angry rather quickly.
"What are you implying?!"
"C-Calm down dude…" Manectric requested, somewhat scared to the demeanor Salamence possessed when totally embarrassed. "I think next class will be Team Strategy. We really need to shine there."
"Yup. Especially if we want to make it to Mega Class." Tyranitar's statement made them all lay a hand over each other's. Looking at each other and smirking, with the exception of the silent Metagross, she pushed down and raised them up.
"Go, Future Fighters!"
