IMN: Hello fellow Pokémon lovers and welcome to Chapter 12!

Keith: WHO IS THIS WES GUY?!

IMN: Patience my young eegit!

Keith: HEY! I'm not an eegit!

Rhythmi: Then would you mind telling us about your scores on the last five tests you've taken Keith?

Keith: ...

IMN: I rest my case! KAAAAAAAAATE DO THE DISCLAIMER PLEASE!

Kate: *Turns towards audience* Infusion Masters Nightmare doesn't own Pokémon or it's characters. She only owns Wes *Cue glaring red-head* Rosie, Mace and the caped group!

Keith: THERE'S MORE OF THEM?! *Knocks out cold by IMN's bazooka*

IMN: On with the shoooooooooooooww~!

Chapter 12: Ghosts from the past and a jealous prodigy!

Keith's Pov

I couldn't believe what was going on; Kate is hugging a GUY! Who the heck does he think he is trying to kill us and now he has the nerve to. Hug. KATE?! I never thought I could hate a guy so much as I do at this moment! Before I could stomp over and kick this 'Wes' guy in the face there was a guy shouting from the other end of the court yard.

"MOTHER F($&!£G SON OF A B&(%* THAT HURT LIKE HELL!" shouted the bulky guy in the cape but he had his hood down so I could see what he looks like now. He had dark greenish brown spiky hair, dark purple eyes and fair skin. The guy was holding his left leg and rolling on the ground. Then I saw the graceful girl with the Beautifly themed fan had her hood down. She had snow white skin, loose jet black hair that reaches to the end of her back and silver eyes. She looked like a fragile porcelain doll.

"KING HOW MANY TIME DID I TELL YOU TO NOT CURSE IN FRONT OF A LADY?!" shouted the girl as she marched up to the bulky guy she started hitting him with the fan. 'Okay maybe she's not so fragile.' I thought while looking at the scene.

"Shizuka I get it! Ow! Ow! OW! QUIT IT WOMAN! OWWWW!" shouted the guy known as King while all the time he was getting hit by a fan. Then there was a girl around fifteen years old with white and pale purple hair and red eyes walking towards the couple. She had an emotionless face so I don't know what she's feeling.

"Even after we lost, you two still fight like a married couple." said the emotionless girl in a toneless voice.

"WE ARE NOT A MARRIED COUPLE MYSTIC!" shouted King and Shizuka with huge blushes on their faces. Just then a guy around the red eyed girl's age walked next to the girl and started laughing. He had light brown shaggy hair that reached to his shoulders but was tied into a pony tail at the nape of his neck, dark brown eyes, pale skin and a huge pair of brown mechanic goggles on his head.

"Mystic is right you guys. You do act like a married couple. Just say you love each other and get married for real already! I want to be an uncle!" said the goggles guy. King and Shizuka just glared at the boy and the blushes got even brighter than before.

"STAY OUT OF THIS ARTHUR!" shouted the couple of the moment at the same time. The guy just laughed even harder. Then the tomboyish-girl came up behind Shizuka and hugged her from behind. The hood flew off the girls head showing a nineteen year old girl with shoulder length spikey purple hair, with ocean blue eyes and a slight tan. I noticed that her forehead and hands were covered in bandages.

"Come on Shizuka! You promised that I would be the godmother of your children so hurry up already!" whined the purple headed girl playfully.

"Lisa, don't sprout something like that in public!" shouted Shizuka still blushing. Suddenly there was a loud wailing sound coming from the other side of the court yard, where the youngest members of the group sat. The one wailing was a girl with navy blue hair that ended mid-back with silver bangs framing her face and slightly tanned skin. The guy next to her looked exactly like her except his hair was shorter. He was trying to calm down the girl crying in front of him.

"Ste it's only a scratch, no big deal. It'll heal just like that!" said the guy while clicking his fingers showing how fast the scratch would heal.

"But it huuuurts El!" wailed the girl. Then Wes and Kate were laughing at the scene. I could feel my blood boil just looking at them.

"Just like the old days huh Wes?" asked Kate while smiling at Wes. I wished I had laser vision so I could melt his face!

"I agree with you Big Sister." Wes said reflecting the smile on Kate's face. The group stopped what they were doing and looked at the pair with surprise. The others were looking especially at Kate before huge grins broke out of their faces.

"BIG SISTER!" shouted everyone in joy while the girls and El ran up to Kate and sort of tackle/hugged her. Arthur and King just jogged up to them with smile on their faces.

"We missed you so much Big Sister! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Ste and El said before bursting into tears.

"HEY! Don't forget about your favourite Ice type pokémon!" shouted Fro while she floating over to them but accidentally tripped and landed on her face. The group's pokemon looked at Fro and tackle hugged her as well. The pokémon were laughing as they tried to hug Fro.

"Help! I'm being attacked by hugs!" laughed Fro. Rosie and Ivy ran to their own groups and were greeted the same way as the Ice duo was.

"Uh Kate, how do you know the thieves?" asked Isaac with confusion. Kate just looked at Isaac and smiled.

"They're my friends and I haven't seen them in two whole years!" Suddenly the atmosphere changed around Kate. "That reminds me... WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS THINKING?!" Kate said calmly before she shouted with rage. The thieves then lined up in front of Kate with a look of fear on their faces. The pokémon lined up next to their master's with Fro glaring at them as well. Rosie and Ivy looked nervous at the situation.

"What in the name of Arceus were you doing trying to steal the school stylers?! Do you have any idea how much trouble you guys caused?! Because of your actions not only have you almost got one of my best friends expelled but you exposed the existence of Mewmans to humans! Also why did you attack me?! Did I change so much over the years that you didn't recognise me?! I understand about me, but FRO?! How many pale Froslass with freckles are there in the world? I thought that there was only ONE IN EXISTENCE! Give me five reasons why I can't freeze your asses to the side of the cliff!" shouted Kate with rage. The group were shaking in fear at Kate's anger.

"Stop it Big Sister! They get the point!" screamed Rosie with worry while holding onto Kate's tail; trying to save the group from Kate's wrath. Ivy was doing the same with Fro by using 'Vine Whip' to hold the Froslass back. Just then Grandpa and Principal Lamont slowly walked out the door and were surprised to see the thieves shaking in fear because of Kate.

"*Ahem!* Now that the battle is over may I see you all in the Staff Room please?" announced Principal Lamont stopping Kate and Fro's wrath.

"Yeah but first can Mace go the infirmary because she got hurt really badly by the Suicune's attack." asked Kellyn while holding up Mace and minding her arm.

"Sorry about Suicune. It may be strong but it's still a baby so this little guy doesn't know when enough is enough. Let me help you with that, Gallade." said Wes while walking over to Mace and Gallade ran to him. They suddenly combined into one and Wes had blades coming out of his elbows, a pink fin on his chest and a streak of green in his hair. His hands glowed pink and a weak pulse went on Mace's injured arm. Before anyone knew it the bleeding stopped and the wound sealed up.

"She had a broken arm and the 'Heal Pulse' fixed it a little but I would advise you to get a check-up just in case." said Wes as he and Gallade split apart. Kellyn helped Mace to the infirmary while everyone else and I followed Principal Lamont into the Staff Room.

Staff Room-Ten minutes later, Still Keith's Pov

"Mewmans, of all the things that could explain this situation it has to be Mewmans?" said Lamont while rubbing his head. I was standing with Rhythmi, Isaac, Kateand Rosie in a line. Kellyn and Mace came back with Mace's arm in a cast to insure that it heals properly. Wes and his group were near the door with Mr. Kincaid and Ms April keeping an eye on them.

"Even though I see them with my own eyes I still can't believe it. Keith why didn't you tell me or Rhythmi about it?" said Grandpa with confusion. I felt horrible about hurting my childhood friend and my Grandpa by hiding the fact but I wanted to protect Kate from people trying to hurt her. Especially after the Hunter incident.

"Sorry guys but I promised not to tell and I thought that I would put everyone in danger if I said anything." I said.

"If anyone should say sorry it's me. I made Keith promise that he wouldn't tell and I didn't think it would have consequences. I'm sorry." said Kate while looking at my Grandpa with sincerely. Grandpa just sighed and gazed at Kate with a gentle look on his face.

"Even though I'm a tad hurt that Keith would keep a secret from me, I'm proud that he has kept his word. That is what I would like in all Rangers; to keep their word and to trust their friends." said Grandpa with a smile. He then looked over to Wes and his gang with seriousness in his eyes.

"As for you our young thieves, would you mind explaining why you wanted to steal our stylers?" asked Lamont and Grandpa at the same time. I kinda found it creepy but then again they knew each other since they were six, so it's expected for them to think the same thing.

"You see Mr. Lamont we actually have no money. We were just passing through Almia on our journey and we found this school. We heard that if people sell some stylers on the black market they would get lots of money. We definitely need money to keep a group of eight and our pokémon in food. We're sorry for the trouble." said Wes with a said look on his face.

"Well do you have your parent's phone numbers so I can report this to them?" asked Ms April. The group became silent and Kate looked at them with sadness.

"The truth is Ms April that they're actually orphans. They all lost their parents a couple of years back thanks to the Hunters, an awful organisation that sell or kill Mewmans for money." Kate said while looking at the red-headed teacher. I felt horrified by the fact that the Hunters would take away Mewman's parents when they were so young for money!

"It's true ma'am, the only people with living relatives is Ste and El. They have an older brother but he's too busy with responsibilities to mind them so he left the twins in our care," said Wes while patting the twins on the head. Mr. Kincaid then marched up to Lamont and glared at him.

"Principal Lamont, you don't believe these delinquents do you?! They tried to steal our stylers and destroyed our court yard! For all we know they could be nothing but liars and Miss Icecia could be their accomplice! She could have given them the information about the school and helped them steal the stylers!" lectured Sir Hair-Spray.

"How dare you accuse Big Sister as a criminal? If she was helping them then why would she fight them and expose Mewmans to the school in order to protect us? Also Lisa, King and the others didn't even know that Big Sister and I were in the region, much less the school! And another thing, if you read the pokémon legends book then you should know that Psychic type Mewmans can't lie!" shouted Rosie with anger before she collapsed into a chair brought over by Ivy. She was panting and clutching her heart but she soon calmed down. I forgot that Rosie had a weak heart condition, I'm just glad she didn't collapse like last time.

"What Rosie said is true Mr. Kincaid; Psychic type Mewmans can't tell a lie. It's a personality thing with them. In fact my Aunt Sophia and cousin Remi are both Psychic types and not once have they told a lie!" said Kellyn with confidence. 'So if Kate's mum and sister can't tell a lie then that means that time on Visiting Day...WAIT A MINUTE!' I thought.

"Kate you mean to tell me that the part about you and I getting married one day is TRUE?!" I shouted with shock and I felt a huge amount of blood rush to my cheeks.

"WHAAAAAT?!" shouted the adults and the Mewman group with surprise and anger. I could feel eight pairs of eyes glaring holes into my back but I was too shocked by the fact that I didn't care about it at the moment. Kate had a huge blush on her face and stared at me with embarrassment. In fact she was so embarrassed that her Mew ears and tail popped out in surprise.

"K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Keith this is not the time or place to discuss that now! My Mum may look into any time line with her powers but there are many possibilities for the future! S-S-She could see lots of possible futures and she just picks one that she likes the best. F-F-F-F-For all we know we might not get married because I mean you're my best friend right?" rambled Kate while moving her arms wildly.

"Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Yeah, it would be totally weird because we're best friends and it's not like we liiiiiiiike each other, right?" I said trying to get rid of the awkward atmosphere.

"We just like each other as friends and nothing more!" Kate said and we both awkwardly laughed before looking away from each other. I could still feel the Mewman gang glaring at me along with Kellyn.

"Okay now that the odd love-birds have finished their conversation, let's get back to the subject at hand. What should we do about the Mewmans here and the students' knowledge of Mewmans, Tomas?" asked Lamont. Grandpa was about to answer but was interrupted by a ringtone from his pocket. He picked up the phone and answered it with reluctance.

"Hello?... It's great that you called but it is very bad timing on your part. I'm in a meeting with Lamont now. ...Oh, you know about that? Even the Mewmans?... YOU KNEW ALL ALONG AND DIDN'T TELL ME?! WHAT TYPE OF FRIEND ARE YOU?!...Yes the thieves are here with us along with Kate. ...What?!... Are you crazy?!...You don't have to get sassy with me, I get the point. ...You want me to put you on to Lamont? Okay then." said Grandpa to the person on the phone before passing the phone to the Principal.

"Hello?... Ahh, it's been a long time!...I'm fine thanks and you?...Good, good. What is it you want to talk to me about?...What?! Are you sure about this?...B-B-B-B-B-But-... I see your point; they do sound reliable but can we really trust them?...Okay but how did you know about them in the first place?...WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?! TOMAS IS RIGHT; WHAT TYPE OF FRIEND ARE YOU?!...Alright no need to be sassy, I'll do it. Why do you do this to me?...I get it, I get it. Goodbye." said Lamont before hanging up the phone. He and Grandpa were rubbing their heads like they had a bad headache before looking back to Wes and the others.

"Due to 'certain circumstances' we can't send these group of children to prison because of the chances more people would find out their identity. So until they repent for their crimes they have to work at the school until the school year is over." said Principal Lamont until he dropped his head on his desk like he ran a marathon. Kate and Rosie were smiling from ear to ear then ran to their friends in joy. Wes picked up Kate and spun her around while the others hugged Rosie.

I don't know why but I felt my blood boil at the sight of Kate in this guy's arms. It's great that Kate can be with her friends but HOW LONG CAN SHE BE IN THAT GUY'S ARMS?! I took several breathes in and out to calm down. I just told myself that Kate and Wes are nothing but friends and everything would be alright.

Two days later-Still Keith's Pov

*SNAP!*

That was the sound of a pencil I had snapped in two with my hand because I. am. so. MAD! A couple of minutes after the meeting was over Lamont asked the Mewmans to help fix the court yard from their battle. What would have taken weeks to fix was finished in a couple of hours. Mewmans are quiet amazing, but that's not what I was mad about.

After Kate's friends fixed the court yard Lamont gave jobs to each person he thought would do a good job. King helped Mr. Kaplan and Ms. Claire with the gym. Shizuka is taking care of the pokémon instead of Janice. Arthur helps Mechanic and Operators students if they have any technical problems because as it turns out he is a genius with machines. Mystic helps keep the group of Gastley in line so they don't go scaring the baby pokémon at night. Lisa along with her baby Suicune waters the plants and give pokémon drinks. Ste and El do errands around the school for the teachers and help Janice with odd jobs. That's not what upsets me though.

It turns out that Wes is super smart and has mesmerised every book he ever read, which is a lot by the way. Miss April thought he would make a perfect teacher so she's teaching him about how to be one. He was flying in the lessons so Lamont assigned him as a tutor for the students when they have a problem. He is so popular with the girls that he has his own fan-club! That is not what makes me so mad. The reason I'm so mad is because while I'm in the library with my friends for a study session and what did I find when I got there? Wes, aka my newly dubbed arch-enemy, was tutoring Kate and in my opinion they're sitting TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER!

"Keith stop it! That's the tenth pencil you've broken in the past five minutes. What wrong with you?" asked Rhythmi in a harsh whisper even though of our group, Kate and Wes were the only ones in the library. I just growled out 'nothing' and picked up another pencil to write my homework with. From the corner of my eye I saw Isaac frantically writing on a note pad with a serious look on his face.

"What's up with you Isaac? You're writing as fast as Mace eating sweets which is super-fast by the way. What are you writing?" asked Kellyn who was opposite Isaac with curiosity. Isaac stopped writing and looked at everyone like he won a science competition or some award.

"Don't you see what is happening here? In our very school we have a race of people that should have died off thousands of years ago! This is a huge scientific discovery! We could unlock so much information that no human has ever known! I'm just trying to write up experiments and questions I could do without offending or hurting them." exclaimed Isaac with stars in his eyes. Guess there is a bright side to having girl-wooing-best-friend-stealing-jerk in the school aka Wes.

"Oh that does sound exciting! If you want lots of information you should ask Wes- *SNAP!*" said Rosie before she was interrupted by the sound of the eleventh pencil I broke with my hand. Everyone at the table was staring at me and my pile of broken pencils in confusion. Then I saw 'She-Hulk'/Mace look from me to Wes and Kate together then back to me with a smirk on her face. Uh oh.

"I get it. Keithy-Weithy is jealous of Wes hanging out with the girl he liiiike a lot. Drama bomb~!" sang Mace as she sat next to me and poked my cheeks. Someone has been eating too much sugary stuff again.

"I'm not jealous of that Wes hanging out with Kate." I grumbled while crossing my arms.

"I said 'the girl you liiiiike a lot', I never said anything about Kate in fact I didn't say her name." said Mace as her smirk grew bigger. I felt my cheeks burning with the blood rushing to them. Then Mace turned to Kellyn and he smirked as well and finally they put one arm over their shoulders while swaying side to side.

"Keith's in love with Kaaaate! Keith's in love with Kaaaate! Keith's in love with Kaaaaate!" sang Kellyn and Mace together as Isaac tried to stop laughing holding his hand over his mouth while Rosie and Rhythmi silently fan-girl in front of me. I sat there horrified at what my friends were thinking. 'I don't like Kate that way! I don't like Kate that way! I don't like Kate that way!' I thought saying the same mantra in my head.

'Would you keep it down human? Your thoughts are so loud that it's giving me a headache.' said a voice in my head. I turned my head around to see Wes looking at me with a frown on his face while Kate was studying something. Great, the last person I want to talk to right now is having a conversation with me in my head.

'I thought Mewmans can't block out a person's mind when they want to?' While I turned away from Wes so Kate wouldn't get suspicious.

'That is true but I want to have a word with you in private about Big Sister. Meet me outside in the court yard in five minutes. Come alone and don't be late.' said Wes via telepathy before saying something to Kate and walked out. Two minutes later I told my friends that I had to do something and walked towards the school doors. Standing beside the door was Wes himself with his book in hand.

He was wearing a long sleeve white shirt with a jumper that was the same shade of silvery blue as his hair. He had a dark red tie around his neck as well. He tucked the shirt and jumper in a pair dark navy jeans with the ends turned up to show that it was silver underneath with a black belt holding them up. Finally he wore casual boots that were the same shade of red as the tie. He looked like an 'A' plus student in a high school.

"Thank you for coming to meet me human." said Wes as he closed his book and looked me in the eye.

"Okay 1: don't call me human, my name is Keith not 'human'. 2: What is it you want to talk to me about that involves Kate?" I said to him while crossing my arms. Wes just turned his head away from me and looked at the court yard.

"Humans are nothing but a walking disaster waiting to happen. They only cause destruction and pain to everything around them. I would have walked out of here without a moments hesitation if it wasn't for Big Sister and Rosie." Wes said and looked back to me with pure hatred in his eyes. I was a little bit shaken from the look but calmed myself down and tried to act brave.

"True that some humans can do destructive things but there are also some humans that are the complete opposite of that. There are people like Pokémon Rangers who help people and pokémon in need of help around the world and to keep peace in all the Regions. I may not be a Mewman or have some special abilities but I'll help Kate in whatever problem she's in. I'll give her a shoulder when she cries. I'll do anything I can to protect Kate that I promise!" I said with confidence. Wes looked at me like he saw a ghost but then I saw his face turning emotionless.

"What I learned over the years is that humans always make these insane or near impossible promises but only some of them achieve those promises. I hope you are one of them Keith Adams. Big Sister may not show it but she has many scars from the past and was broken for two years at least that's what I saw when I read her mind. I never would have thought Big Sister would turn back to her old self after what she went through because of some humans. Watch over Big Sister for me and heal her scars." Wes said before he walked to the gym to meet King.

"One more thing; I think of Big Sister as nothing more than family! If you want to date her then go ahead, just try to convince Lisa and the others first! They're not as easy as I am!" shouted Wes before he entered the gym with a smirk on his face. I felt my cheeks heat up again, I suddenly wished I could sink into the ground and disappear.

"So what were you and Wes talking about Keith?" said a familiar voice from behind me. I let out a (manly) scream and jumped away from the person that sneaked up on me. I turned around to see Kate with her head tilted cutely at an angle with a confused look on her face.

"Kate, when did you get here?" I said as soon as I caught my breathe from the fright.

"Just now, I wanted to apologise about not hanging out with you and the others. It's just I haven't talked to Wes, Lisa and the others for two years and I wanted to catch up. I'm so sorry Keith." Kate said while fidgeting with her fingers. I was about to say something about her hanging out with Wes a lot more than her other friends but Wes' words entered my mind.

'Big Sister may not show it but she has many scars from the past and was broken for two years at least that's what I saw when I read her mind.' Was the exact sentence that repeated around my mind the most. I looked at Kate and smiled my usual goofy smile.

"It's okay, no need to worry! I would do the same if I haven't seen my parents or Rhythmi for two years. It's no big deal." I said and I saw Kate's face light up like a Christmas tree. Then she took out her school styler and looked at me with fire in her eyes.

"How about we both have a capture competition? Loser has to do three things that the winner orders without question. Think you're up for it Mr. Prodigy?" asked Kate with a smirk on her face. I just gave a rye smile and pulled out my styler.

"Bring it on Little Miss Ice!" I said before we set off to capture any pokémon we saw. During the competition I kept looking at Kate smiling without a care in the world. I couldn't help but think what is Kate hiding from me and what happened to her in the past?

IMN: Chapter 12 is finished! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY!

Keith:... 0.0

Mace: Hey, what's up with the red-head? *Waves hand in front of Keith's face*

Isaac: He's just in shock about the fact that he was jealous over nothing.

Rhythmi: You got to admit it was kinda fun teasing Keith about Kate and Wes so called 'romantic relationship'.

Rosie: Question is how do we get Keith out of this state?

Kellyn: I got it! *Walks over to Mace* Hey Mace did you see Wes and Kate going over to that door over there together, alone? *Points to random door*

Keith: *Snaps out of shock* WHAT?! AFTER HE TOLD ME HE THINKS OF HER AS FAMILY! WES YOU'RE A DEAD MAN! *Runs over to door*

IMN: Keith I wouldn't do that if I were you! That room belongs to-!

Keith: *Opens door to see an angry Garchomp glaring at him* Hi? *Runs away from Garchomp using 'Dragon Rage' on him* AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

IMN: Diggie-Wiggie, my Garchomp and he hates strangers barging into his room.

Kellyn and Mace: *Rolling on the floor laughing their butts off*

Kate: *Walks to IMN with a slice of strawberry shortcake in her hands* Hey guys what did I miss? :)

Isaac: The usual; Keith running for his life from one of IMN's deadly but oddly named pokémon.

IMN: *Hands on hips and glaring at Isaac* What do you mean 'oddly named pokémon'? Are you saying I'm terrible at nicknaming pokémon?

Isaac: *Sweating a lot* W-W-W-What I meant when I said 'oddly named pokémon' is uuummm. *Turns towards audience* Looks like we ran out of time! See you guys in chapter 13 and remember to review! BYE! *Quickly runs away*

IMN: *Runs after Isaac* GET BACK HERE ISAAC!

Rhythmi: RUN ISAAC RUN!
