Pokémon Academy!
I got an idea from a story called Ranger School Adventure. But this story won't be that close too it just that theres a school. Kids who have a Pokémon can go to an academy and battle and become trainers. They can wear a uniform and are put into mixed grades. Theres no age for grades it's just the level of your Pokémon and nothing else. You're graded on your normal stuff, but did I mention that you have one class period devoted to training and playing with your Pokémon? Well you are!
Haha make that 12 from the last chapter to many people!
~Mustach~Mustach~Mustach~Mustach~WHAT? ~Mustache~
TALENT SHOW TIME!
~Mustach~Mustach~Mustach~Mustach~WHAT? ~Mustache~
I got up the next morning exhausted. I was up till 1 in the morning practicing and didn't fall asleep till 2 and now it's 5. I'll just drink five hour energy or two and eat some sort of sugar and I'll be all set. I quickly showered using my very favorite sweet pea shower set and shaved my legs and underarms. I got out and got dressed (it's on my profile along with all the characters that are OC's that were sent in at the time this chapter was being made)At least I don't have to wear that stupid uniform today. I did my hair and put on my sweet pea body mist and deodorant and did some light makeup. I sighed and walked outside. I saw Sam all dressed up. He was gonna play an instrument for me. "Sam you all ready?" "Yup!" He lifted up his fiddle and smile. "Well let's get going!" We started to walk with me eating a bagel. I was nervous and I knew I probably looked like a train wreck but I didn't care.
I soon saw some dark hair I easily recognized. "Hey Mike!" I yelled running as fast as I could over to him in my shoes. "Hey there Lizzie!" I hugged him and we started to chat while walking. "So what are you doing for your performance?" asked Mike. "I'm gonna sing a song…" "What song?" "If I Die Young by The Band Perry." "Cool!" "Yeah it's cool…" I was cut off by a large yawn. "Tired Liz?" "No dip Sherlock. I got like three hours of sleep last night and that's all I'm running on!" He laughed slightly. I laughed also but covered my mouth with both hands. "Why aren't you laughing?" asked Mike. "Because I have a horrible laugh! I sound like a pig giving birth and that is not a pretty sound!" "You sound fine! Trust me!" He took my hands and moved them away from my mouth. Sam had walked way ahead of us.
"Now laugh. Or I'll tickle you!" "Never!" I yelled and started to run but tripped backwards. I screamed but felt strong hand grab me. "You okay?" asked an out of breath Mike. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm a klutz like I've always been. Don't worry!" He smiled and laughed which made me laugh and I didn't even bother stopping myself. "Hey you finally laughed! And I love your laugh!" I was blushing.
Soon we reached school and me and him went our separate ways. I then noticed he had a guitar case in his hand hmmm I wonder what that's for. Probably his performance. He had to go to the designated boy's room on the opposite side of the stage and I had to go to the girl's area. "Where is my $400 per ounce perfume!" screeched Susanna. She was glaring at me the whole time. "Hey I didn't even touch the thing! I just got here so don't be saying I did it!" I yelled at her fuming. I walked over to a table to fix my hair and lightly fix my makeup.
My phone went off with a text from Sam "my fiddle broke! i cant play for you! Srry!" I sighed and texted back "it's okay Sammie, i'll go on without instruments i guess. And even if i'm off key it don't matter its just a talent show and its for funn" I turned my phone off and fixed my makeup. Soon I realized that the only person in the room was Susanna and she was going through my bag.
"YOU DID HAVE MY PERFUME!" yelled Susanna as she held up a small maybe 4 oz. bottle. "What I didn't take it!" "Thief!" she ran off and came back with a teacher. It was the grumpy principal Mr. Stevens "Miss Soles you cannot steal and think you can still participate in the Talent Show. You have been banned from the talent show. I am sorry but you have to be locked into here." He and Susanna walked out. I sighed and sat in the chair. I turned the TV on and saw the people going onto the stage and performing a few names I memorized: Vash Vasorsisunatu, Devin Daniels, and Moselle Urania. Wait Mike was gonna go right before me and I was last. I took out my cell phone and called him.
"Where the heck are you?" asked Mike. "Susanna put her perfume in my bag and framed me for stealing it! I didn't steal! I'm in the girls dressing room and it's locked I need help out!" "I'll come and get you out of there. I'll be there in 5 minutes!" he hung up and I sighed tears threatening to spill. I didn't steal anything! I was framed! I heard a knock on the door and Mike yelling "I'll be in there in a minute Soles!" "Okay!" I yelled back. I heard numerous locks being clicked and unlocked and then Mike yell "try to open the door!" I ran and tried to open it. "I think it opens from the outside." "I'll open it in a moment then!" He went and pushed it open and it opened. "Oh my god! Are you okay? You were crying!" He hugged me and I slightly cried into his shoulder. "Mike you have to go out there and perform!" "I need you to come onto stage with me." "What? Why?" "I just need you to!" I nodded because the urgency in his voice told me to listen to him. "Let's go!" He dragged me outside.
I looked at the sheet with the performance things. "Wait Mike why do I go before you?" He looked at it for a minute then said "I don't know!" The principal was on stage saying the next act "Now put your hands together for Miss Susanna McKinnon singing, If I Die Young by The Band Perry!" Susanna pushed past him and started to sing. I cringed and said "We have to stop her!" "Here take this!" said a boy I recognized as Devin Daniels. He handed me a microphone that I put on over my head so it hung onto my ear. I set my hat back and covered the microphone with one hand. "What am I supposed to do?" "Go out there and sing!" said Mike. "Okay…" Stage Fright step one starting now. I walked behind a curtain and started to sing "If I die young, bury me in sat inlay me down on a bed of roses Sink me in the river at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song…" I stepped onto the stage and continued with the full song "Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
there's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
so put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing
Funny, when you're dead how people start listening
if I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears; keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
the sharp knife of a short life
Well, I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys
And I'll wear my pearls"
As I finished Susanna had left. Everyone started to clap. "Well that was a surprise song! Give it up for Miss Lizbeth Soles!" said the principal. I rushed off the stage blushing like crazy. "That was really good Liz!" said Mike as I walked backstage. "Thanks Mike. Now get out there and rock the stage!" He smiled and I gave him a quick hug and kissed his cheek, in a friendly way of course, and he walked out onto the stage. "This song I want to dedicate to a close friend of mine. Liz could you come out please?" I blushed and stepped onto the stage. Susanna was fuming in the front row. "What are you doing?" I whispered. "You'll see." He took out a white guitar and started to play and sing this song "Last night's dream
We rode our bikes
To our tree house by the sea
And there we lay and said we'd never leave.
Last night's dream I promised you would have
The whole world at your feet
And that we'd lay
On a bed we made of leaves.
And we both know
You're everything I need
And now I know
What she does to me
She takes me High She takes me High She takes me High She takes me
High
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
She's got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me High, high
She takes me high tonight
Last night's dream
We drove your car
To the dead end of your street
And we made love where no one else could see.
Last night's dream I held your hand
And asked if you would be
Forever mine, together you and me.
And we both know
You're everything I need
And now I know
What she does to me
She takes me High
She takes me High
She takes me high
She takes me high
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
She's got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me High tonight.
I'll keep sleeping
If I don't stop dreaming
I would stop my breathing for you
I'm not leaving
This life I'm dreaming
Cause I can't stop living with you.
She takes me High
She takes me high
She takes me high
She takes me high...
She wakes me up
She breaks me down
She's got me 10 feet off the ground
She takes me High, high
She takes me high tonight"
I sat there just staring at him and looked like an idiot. What does the song me? Does he like me or something? No he can't like me! I just met him! Ugh I'm an idiot! "Thanks for listening guys!" said Mike as he waved at the crowd. I ran outside and to the parking lot. I felt like I couldn't breathe.
Once again tears threatened to spill and I let them spill this time. "Hey you okay?" asked a girl with red hair cut into a bob. "Huh? Yeah I'm fine." "My names Mara and you were a really good singer out there earlier." "T-thanks. I'm Lizbeth." "I know that. Why did you run out of there like that?" (Sorry if she's a bit OOC) "Because I'm an idiot." "Why do you say that?" "I think I might like Mike. And now I think he likes me…" "Mike he wouldn't stop talking about you last night! My brother and I were over at Mike's house with Devin, Moselle, Ace, Martin or as we call him Hatter and Dana, you're all he talked about! He really likes you and I can tell you like him so don't give up quite yet give him a bit." I nodded. "Okay I will. I should go talk to him." I looked at my cell phone I'd been out here for 15 minutes, 10 of which I spent alone and crying. "Good. I should get going my brother and I are going to visit our grandma." I nodded. "Bye Mar." "Don't call me that." And like that Mara was gone.
I sat there looking at the fountain trying to earn the courage to go and talk to Mike. I probably made him look like a fool; I was sitting there the whole time just staring off in space and made him look like an idiot. Thunder rumbled over head but I couldn't move. I have a fear of thunder, it's called Broncophobia, and it puts me in an almost paralyzed state. The wind started to blow and thunder shook the fountain and lightning flashed overhead yet I wouldn't move. Soon the rain came down, at first lightly then it turned into a full on downpour, the rain coming down in sheets around me. "Lizbeth?" I heard a voice yell. It was really quiet because of the rumbling thunder. I looked at the water as the voice yelling my name, accompanied by many other voices, but that first voice stood out. Like really stood out I knew who it was and I wasn't gonna let them see me.
The rain made it hard to see but I saw numerous flashlights bobbing around me. I shivered in the cold rain cursing myself because I wore a thin material dress. I had tooken my boots off a while ago because the water was piling into them. My hair was drenched from the rain soaking through it and the rain covered my tears and my makeup was off my face tooken away with the rain.
"Lizbeth!" yelled a voice. It was Mike. I got off of the ledge of the fountain and started to run. I wasn't allowing him to see me. Pikachu was in my tote bag all dry and warm in a blanket. I ran and kept running, not stopping. I soon saw a lake. I stopped at a retaining wall that water was just near the edge.
I set my bag down in a little dry spot under a tree and set Pikachu on his blanket by my bag. I looked at the water and then started to run. Memories of my parent's death swirled around me. The screaming as the boat they were in sank and then my parents being dragged with the boat. My siblings and I had gotten out but my parents didn't. I soon was jumping over the water. "Liz!" yelled Mike. I didn't scream but my feet skimmed over the water and soon I went under and couldn't move. I couldn't swim and I didn't want to resurface.
~Mikes POV~
As I had finished the song Liz ran off stage. "Liz?" I yelled as I followed her. Marcie, Vash, Zayla, Thomas, Rin, Fraser, Devin, Vash, Dana, Lynn, Yuna, Michael, Zyon, Kaylee, Ace, Mara, Victor, Hyung, Candence or Andy, Moselle, Mark and Hatter crowded around me. "Dude that was awesome!" said Devin. "Yeah like super great!" said Rin. "Did you see the look on her face? She totally likes you!" said Zyon. "Now all you need to do is ask her out!" said Candence. "And plan a proper date!" said Mara. "Yeah uh thanks guys. Has anyone seen Liz?" "Um I think I saw her run outside looking like she was gonna faint!" said Victor. "I should go talk to her…" "No I'll go talk to her Mike. You stay here and wait for the awards." Said Mara. I nodded and she ran outside. "Kaylee that was some sick dancing." Said Vash. "Haha thanks." Said Kaylee. She had danced to Blow by Keasha. "So what was that song called Mike?" asked Fraser. "It was a He Is We song that's all." "Well that was a cool song." Said Hatter. "Yeah what else can you play?" asked Andy. "A few songs is all." I looked back at the door growing worried. "You really like her don't you?" asked Hyung. "Yeah I really do but she probably doesn't. Did you see that look on her face?" "She probably wasn't feeling well is all." Said Marcie. "Yeah maybe she ate some bad tofu or something." Stated Vash. "Or got to close to Susanna." Said Moselle. "Or maybe she was poisoned!" said Hatter. "Yeah by Susanna!" shouted Devin. "Dude just shut up."
After standing in an awkward silence for awhile Mara came back in. "She doesn't know what to say to you right now is all. She likes you but she's worried that you don't like her back." Then the school shook with thunder. "Wait she hates thunder!" That's when the power went out. At least the school makes everyone keep flashlights in our backpacks. "Let's go find her!" yelled Victor. We all grabbed our flashlights, or each other's we don't know which bags we grabbed just that they were from the pile we made. I ran outside and yelled "Lizbeth?" no answer. After a while of yelling I saw a blue flash pass me and noticed that Liz's boots were on the ground in front of me. She was heading for the lake.
I started to run followed by no one else. I saw her set Pikachu down by a tree and run for the water. I reached the retaining wall moments after she jumped. "Liz!" I yelled as she fell into the water. This is an old Mining Lake and right here its 40 feet deep. I took my shirt off (hehe yeah cute boy taking his shirt off!) and jumped in after Liz. I couldn't find her so I resurfaced grabbed a breath of air and re jumped into the water. I saw a flash of her blond hair and swam towards it. She was uncouncise and I was just praying she didn't die on me. I swam back to the beach and set her on the ground. I went and ran to grab something that I hoped would wake her up. "Pikachu please try to help her with your powerful shock." He shocked her but it didn't work. "Shit!" I yelled and then started to perform CPR. I called 911 right before I did CPR and soon after I performed CPR over and over again the ambulance arrived. They laid her onto a stretcher and put a neck brace on her neck and I climbed into the back with her, pulling my shirt on of course. I had Pikachu sitting next to me along with her tote bag.
I gripped onto Liz's hand as the ambulance performed work. "She has a concussion and a possible coma." Said the Paramedics. We reached the hospital in record time and they rushed Liz into the hospital. I sat in the waiting room with a worried Pikachu next to me. "Mr. Hughes?" "Yeah that's me." I picked Pikachu up and he climbed onto my head. I walked over to the doctor and she told me the worst ever news: "Miss Soles has a coma and we're thinking she won't make it out."
