"Wow, these are some great ideas Nemona! Will be sure to inform the rest of the student council!"
Slightly embarrassed by the praise, a blush spreads across the student council president's face. "Oh please, it's nothing really I was just-"
Before she can finish, the academy bell rings dictating the start of the free period for some students. Elated by the sound and what it means for her she hastily excuses herself from her fellow council members and makes her way to the cafeteria.
Entering the lunch room she quickly surveys the lunchroom. Her excitement however quickly turns to concern as she fails to spot her eternal rival. Hope emerges as she spots a girl with a familiar shade of red and purple hair, making a b line toward her Nemona slams her hands on the table the girl was sitting at. "Penny!"
Startled by Nemona's abrupt entrance, Penny tries her best to compose herself. "Y-yes?"
"Have you seen Florian? We usually meet up during this time."
Penny pushes up her glasses. "I believe he went up to the schoolyard… I think he said something about getting ready for a battle?"
A battle!? Nemona's heart begins to beat faster as her mind begins to swirl with ideas. He really is my one true rival.
"Isn't Florian just perfect Penny? I didn't even say anything and he already knew what I wanted. My rival and I are just perfectly synced, don't you think penny?"
"Yeah sure whatever…"
"Well better not keep him waiting. I wonder what he and his pokemon have in store for me."
Taking the elevator to the schoolyard Nemona hastily exits the elevator pulling out one of her pokeballs. "Sorry to keep you waiting Florian but I'm here no-"
"Skeledirge use torch song!"
Stopping dead in her tracks Nemona can only stare in disbelief at the sight before her, there on the battlefield was Florian with his Skeledirge in a battle with another student and her Gengar.
My eyes must be playing tricks on me, Florian… Florian would never do something like this to me!
The other schoolgirl commands her Gengar to use thunder, which has a direct hit on the Skeledirge."Wow Marie you Gengars really strong!"
"Geez thanks, Florian, your Skeledirge is amazing too!"
His compliment to the girl sends an invisible dagger right into the heart of Nemona.
Florian… you- you're cheating on me!?
The pain she feels finally lets her register what she was seeing. Nemona grows out a low whimper of disapproval. Why Florian, why would you do this to me?
Unaware of his rival Florian continues the battle. Sending his fire croc to close the distance.
Nemona shakes her head as she tries to voice her displeasure. "...No. Please, please stop."
Too low for either of them to hear, the unknown girl and Florian continue their battle.
"Quick Skeledirge dodge and use shadow ball!"
Taking slow steps toward the arena Nemona's low murmurs grow louder and louder. "Why… Why are you doing this to me, Florian!"
Unaware of her nearing proximity, Florina seeks to end his battle. "Alright, Skeledrige let's end this with a fire blast!"
Watching as the fire croc charged up for its attack. Nemonas fears and anger burst out like dame. "Stooooop!"
Both Pokemon stop in their tracks as their trainers flinch at the sudden scream, turning they both lock eyes on the distraught figure of Nemona.
Taking a few large steps the young trainer finds the student president hovering over him. "F-Florina what do you think you're doing!"
"Uh… having a battle?"
"A-a battle!?" wrapping her arms around herself she begins to slowly shake and laugh. After everything we've been through h-he throws me away just like that.
Walking over to them the unknown school places a hand on his shoulder. "Hey Florian, is everything okay?" Seeing her place a hand on him sends Nemona into a tizzy.
"Get away from him!"
Rearing back in fright, the girl takes a few steps back. "W-what's your problem?"
Enraged at the sheer audacity of this no-name loser Nemona attempts to lunge at the girl. However sensing that Nemona was going to do something she'd regret, Florina wraps his arms around his rival, stopping her in her tracks.
"Get out of here you- you homewrecker!"
Slightly fearing for her safety the young girl recalls her pokemon and books it.
Now alone Florian is left to deal with Nemona's ire by himself. Glaring down at him, the young boy lets her go.
"Why were you battling with that girl!?"
Unable to handle her intense stare Florian turns around shrugging his shoulders. "I don't know, I like to battle."
Not willing to let the matter go, Nemona presses the issue. "Who was she!? Why were you battling with her!?"
"Nemona, she-she was just a friend. We were just having a battle."
"What about us!? You're supposed to battle with just me, and maybe some gym leaders, but mostly just me!"
While Florian didn't really understand what the problem was, seeing the hurt in her eyes pushed him to try and mend this strange situation. "Man Nemona I'm sorry it wasn't my intent to hurt you."
"Heh Sorry… you're sorry you-you battled with another trainer and all you can say is sorry!"
Grasping his cheeks she brings his face inches from her."You're my treasure Florian you got that! Mine!"
Scared and not knowing how to get out of this strange predicament the young trainer can only hope that asking his seemingly deranged friend what his next step should be.
"T-Then Nemona what can I do to make it right?"
A large grin snakes its way across her features. "Battle with me!"
"T-that's it?!"
A vigorous nod is the answer he receives.
"….Here, right now?"
"Yes!"
Shaking her head the president rethinjs her idea. "I mean no." letting go of his face, she scans their surroundings. "Someone might see us and then they'll try to take you from me."
"Hmm… Oh, I know!" Grabbing his arm, Nemona begins to drag Florian away. "It's a little ways away but my house will be the perfect spot for us to have a private battle from any unwanted visitors. Yep, I'll have you all to myself. Doesn't that sound like fun!?"
A sense of dread sinks into the young boy's stomach still he'd rather not upset Nemona any further. "Sure… I-I mean w-we are rivals r-right?"
The girl's grin widnes "Yep! Rivals forever."
