IMN: AT LAST, WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF OUR BELOVED SCHOOL ARC!

Keith: FINALLY! WE'RE FREE!

Rhythmi: 'End of the School Arc', as in one part of the story is done. Did you honestly think we would get off that easily?

Keith: ...No?... I'll just check on KJ for now. *Walks over to check on his egg*

Fro: To think that one part of the story has ended. That reminds me, what happened to that hoard of Gyarados?

IMN: I had to get some of my pokémon and Sakura Touko's pokémon to get them off of the set. Thanks for that Sakura Touko! Also I got virtual cake and chocolate for all the cast members and reviewers to celebrate the end of this arc!

Mace: DID YOU SAY CHOCOLATE?!

Kellyn: Mace, you should not be getting anything sweet! You know what it does to you!

Mace: *Uses the puppy dog eyes on Kellyn* Ke-Ke this is a special occasion. Can't I have one little piece?

Kellyn: NO!

Mace: Ke-Ke, why are you so mean to me?! TT^TT

Kellyn: Because the last time you ate some sweets, you sent a guy to a hospital!

Mace: He lived in the end didn't he?!

IMN: Enough of your lovers quarrel! We have an arc to finish! Isaac, the disclaimer if you please?

Isaac: Okay. *Turns to the audience* Infusion Masters Nightmare doesn't own Pokémon or it's characters. She only owns Mace, Rosie and the Mewman gang.

Kate: Now that's over and done with-

Cast: ON WITH THE SHOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Chapter 16: We're Graduating!

Keith's Pov

"Ugh! Stupid tie!" I groaned as I tried to tie my tie. I was in my dorm getting ready for the graduation ceremony this morning. Yep, you heard me: We're all graduating! After months of hard work, chaos and surviving the twin's pranks (they haven't shown any mercy on me since they found out that I slept in Kate's dorm), the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived. Soon I'll be an official Ranger and the others will be Rangers too Operators or Mechanic (or two out of three in Mace's case).

"Ugh! I hate ties! Why do they have to be so difficult?" I groaned as I failed to tie my tie for the twentieth time. Graduation starts in thirty minutes and I've been trying to tie this stupid piece of fabric for an hour! Usually the graduating students wear their uniforms but we have to wear something formal because my family is coming over to see me graduate. It's so troublesome to have a famous family if it means I have to wear a stupid suit and tie.

"Hey Keith, you're still having tie troubles?" said Isaac as he and Kellyn enter the dorm. Isaac was wearing a white suit with a pink rose on his left breast pocket (I have a feeling that it wasn't a coincidence that Isaac is wearing Rhythmi's favourite flower). Kellyn was wearing the same black suit as me except he had his tie tied and was wearing a dark blue dress shirt instead of a plain white one.

"Is it really that hard for you to tie a single tie?" Kellyn asked with doubt. I sent him a little glare before going back to my (failed) attempts at tying my tie.

"Hey guys, are you ready yet?" Rhythmi said as she entered the room. She was wearing a soft pink ankle length dress with sequins making fancy swirling designs on the skirt and wearing pale pink kitten heels. I could see Isaac blushing from the corner of my eye.

"R-R-R-Rhythmi, you look very p-pretty in that dress. Not that you don't look pretty in everything you wear! You just look-Wow!" rambled Isaac. Rhythmi just giggled and blushed at Isaac's compliment. I swear you don't have to be her childhood friend to know that she has a huge crush on the mushroom head and vice versa.

"LET GO OF ME! I AM NOT WEARING THIS! I HAVE MY RIGHTS!" shouted a familiar voice. I heard some hushed whispering outside the door. Kellyn got curious and walks over to see who it was. That was when a dark blue blob crashes into his chest.

"OW! Hey watch were you're going, you-!" Kellyn lectured before seeing what crashed into his arms. It was a girl with long loose black hair that was curled at the end. She wore a dark blue off shoulder dress that went down to her knees. There were golden patterns of dragons flying on the skirt and a golden belt; she also wore dark blue flats. If it wasn't for the familiar purple highlights in her hair and yellow eyes, I would never realised it was the She-Hulk.

"Mace? Y-You're wearing a dress? I thought you hate this type of thing?" Kellyn asked while looking everywhere but Mace's face. Mace was blushing and fidgeting with one strand of her hair nervously.

"W-Well it's graduation and all, so I thought 'what the hell'? I know I look stupid in this and-" Mace stuttered before Kellyn smiled and looked at her in the eye.

"You look great. It suits you perfectly. Plus I like it when your hair is down." Kellyn said while he and Mace stared at each other in the eye. I stopped my tie attempts to see Rhythmi silently fan-girling at the scene in front of her. I would have thought they would kiss if it wasn't for Rosie walking in.

"Is everyone ready?" Rosie innocently asked. Rosie seemed to snap the Dragon Mewman and female Blessed out of their trance. They both just jumped out of each other's arms and turned away to hide their blushing faces. Kellyn also had his Mewman ears and tail out, a sure sign that he was embarrassed.

"Did something happen between-" "NOTHING HAPPENED!" "Then why are you both blushing-" "IT'S NOTHING!" "Why are Kellyn's ears and tail-" "JUST DROP IT ALREADY!" "...Okay then?" Poor Rosie didn't have a chance to ask her questions without Mace and Kellyn shouting at her. I noticed that Rosie was wearing a light green long sleeved dress that reached to her ankles, showing her green kitten heeled shoes. Her dress had waves of blue on the skirt which reminds me of a waterfall in a forest. She had her long green hair in a bun and a blue flower stuck in the side in her hair. She looked like a supermodel in that outfit but that's what you'd expect from her being Drew's older sister.

"I still can't believe we're all graduating! I hope were in the same base together. That way I can boss Keith around all day," Rhythmi said while she smiled from ear to ear. I just glared at her for the last comment she made and went back to my tie. Just then I heard footsteps coming towards us. I turned my head to see who it was and I swear my heart skipped a beat.

Kate was wearing a pale blue three quarter sleeved dress that reached to her knees. On the dress was a thin white veil with small pearls sewn in random places. She wore white flats and a weird blue flower that looked like a hybrid of a snowflake and a star. To me Kate looked like a goddess but I wouldn't say that because of my pride and the fact that Rhythmi would never let me hear the end of it.

"Well we'll be going ahead. See you both downstairs," said Isaac as everyone went downstairs, leaving Kate and I alone. I was still staring at her. I kept telling myself to tell her she's pretty or beautiful or SOMETHING. Instead I said the first stupid thing that popped into my head.

"What's with the weird flower?" I asked. 'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I can't believe I said that!' I thought and Kate quietly laughed.

"It's an Iceilight Flower. They're only found in special ice groves that a Mewman can find. It's an Icecia tradition to wear them on special occasion because we believe that it would bring hope, courage, strength and happiness in our future," Kate explained.

"Why are they called 'Iceilight Flowers'?" I asked stupidly. Kate just smiled and summoned a little bit of ice on her finger. She touched the flower with the ice and the next thing I knew was that the flower was glowing the colours of the rainbow. After a minute the glow died down until it was back to normal.

"The reason they're called 'Iceilight Flowers' is because you need ice to make them light up. Oh! That reminds me! This is for you, Keith," Kate said as she reached into the secret pocket of her dress and took out another Iceilight Flower. She then got close to me and pinned the flower on my lapel before stepping back to admire her work.

"Perfect! I knew it would suit you. Now let's go, everyone's waiting downstairs," Kate exclaimed before grabbing my hand and dragging me out the door. As we went to the hall hand in hand, I couldn't help but feel that we look like an actual couple. Just as quickly as the thought entered my head, I'd blushed a million shades of red and shook the thought out of my head. I tried to think of something else and fortunately for me there was. It was Mace and her dad wrestling in the hall in front of everyone.

"TAKE THAT YOU STUPID OLD MAN!" shouted Mace before doing a painful move on her dad. Luckily she wore shorts underneath her dress or it would be awkward. I saw the rest of our friends and Drew watching the fight, feeling sorry for Mace's dad after last time they had a wrestling match.

"What happened this time?" I asked while Kate and I walked over to our friends. Drew just looked our way and then back at the fight.

"I just got here and Mace was talking to her dad in front of the others before the fight started. Something about 'Kellyn' and 'grand-babies'? By the way Big Sister, how long are you going to hold the red head's hand for?" Drew said before glancing at our hands. Kate and I were confused for a second before we remembered that we were still holding hands. We quickly let go of each other's hands. I saw that Kate was trying to keep her Mew ears and tail sealed because Principal Lamont made the students promise not to reveal the truth about Mewmans to the adults or anyone outside the school. He and everyone else agreed that the world isn't ready to know about Mewmans yet, heck, it took me four months for the thought that Mewmans exist to sink into my head!

"What do you think you're doing standing so close to my daughter?!" growled a voice behind me. I let out a yelp and turned around to see Kate's dad and his Abomasnow glaring at me like I was a criminal or something.

"ALBERT! Don't scare the poor boy!" shouted Kate's mum as Crawford and Remi were on her tail (not literally but you know what I mean). Kate's dad was saying something about 'protecting his little girl' but I wasn't paying attention. I was looking through the crowd to find my parents. They promised me that they would be here. I was about to give up hope until I saw a familiar couple.

There was a man who looked like an older version of me except he had tameable short red hair instead of my wild spiky red hair. The woman next to him looked like a model with her brown hair put up in a neat bun and how her red slim dress fitted her perfectly. I was so excited to see them that I ran into the crowd and didn't stop until I was in front of the couple.

"Mum! Dad! You're both here! You're both are actually here!" I exclaimed before I hugged them both and smiled like an idiot.

"Of course we're here. We would never miss our son's graduation," my mother said to me while she hugged me back. When I let go I saw my father looking at something, well more like glaring at something. He nudged my mum and then she too was glaring in the same direction as my dad. I turned around and saw that they were looking at the Mewman gang. They were just laughing and joking around with each other. I didn't see anything unusual until I looked really close at Arthur. On the back of his neck was some sort of black dot. I couldn't see what it really was since I was on the other side of the hall from them. Apparently Wes, Shizuka, King and Lisa saw my parents glaring at them before they glared back and got everyone to walk out of our sight. What was that about?

"Ladies and gentleman, please take your seats. The Ranger School Graduation Ceremony is about to begin," Ms. April announced into the microphone on the podium. Everyone rushed into their seats and I sat right at the front with the other students. Kate was to my right and Isaac was to my left. Isaac was looking through his cue cards nervously since he's valedictorian. Rhythmi, who was on his left, placed her hand on top of his and whispered "You'll be great. Don't worry about everyone here, this is your moment."

Then the ceremony began with Principal Lamont's speech about how never forget to smile. I wasn't paying too much attention because I was looking around me, taking in all the flower decorations, the hall, all my classmates and friends. I can't believe that our school journey ends here. Even though I knew a Ranger School year is five months because Rangers are in such a high demand but I can't believe how much has happened in those past months. It was almost too hard to think it wasn't a dream.

"Now we shall give out the graduation certificates!" announced Mr. Kincaid. DAMN IT! I was too busy daydreaming that I missed Isaac's speech! Rhythmi is so going to kill me later!

'Heh heh. Don't worry about it. I'll tell you what he said later,' said Kate's voice in my head via telepathy. I looked at her in surprise before giving her a quick 'thank-you' smile. Before the teachers announced the first name, BOOM! There was an explosion in the basement. Everyone was in a bit of a panic while the teachers were trying to calm everyone down.

"I'll-I'll check what it was!" Sir Stinks-a-lot volunteered before running down stairs into the basement. I saw that both Drew and Rosie tensed while staring at the entrance to the basement.

"Something's wrong down there..." Rosie mumbled quietly.

"There's something going on in the basement and they're both big," Drew mumbled as he glared at the entrance. 'Wait, "they're both big"? There's two of them? Two of what?!' I thought before Mr Kincaid was screaming as he was sent flying backwards and outside the front door. Then two giant blobs of blue vines stormed out of basement and one of them tackled Rosie. Ms. April and some other women screamed in fear as they realised that Rosie was held down by a Tangrowth while the other one was terrorising the hall. Everyone else ran out of the hall except for Kate, Kellyn, Drew, Mace and I. Once everyone left the school, Drew growled as he grabbed a seed from his pocket and the seed grew into a whip with thorns. By the way, if I said that he's mad, it would be an understatement.

"Let. Go. Of. My. SISTER!" growled Drew as he flicked his wrist and the tip of the whip hit the Tangrowth so it fell back in surprise and released of Rosie. Remind me never to harm Rosie when Drew is around. Drew ran to pick up his sister before running to the entrance and getting her to safety. The other Tangrowth stopped destroying the hall and started shooting random attacks in all directions. Kate tried to freeze the Tangrowth with her 'Ice Beam' attack but it seemed to have no effect on it. Wait, WHAT?!

"Ice type moves aren't affecting it?! It's a Grass type; they're weak against Ice type moves!" I shouted before dodging the first Tangrowth after it came to it's senses from Drew's hit.

"TELL THEM THAT!" shouted Kellyn as he was having a battle of strengths with one of them. I saw that Mace was trying to capture the one Kellyn was fighting. She successfully captured it but it just kept fighting Kellyn with loose vines. Just then Fro floats in like nothing is going on and she's holding a camera.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late for the ceremony! I had to find my camera. So what did I miss?" Fro said before a giant Tangrowth attacked her with a Grass type move which sent her flying into a wall. Fro wasn't hurt but her camera was in pieces. Fro stared at her broken camera in horror before she glared at the Tangrowth who attacked her.

"I don't care if you're strong or some big shot but no one and I mean NO ONE DESTROYS MY CAMERA OR MESS WITH KATE'S BIG DAY! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Fro shouted before she attacked the Tangrowth with one of her attacks, but nothing was working. She even used a 'Blizzard' attack and the Tangrowth pair just brushed it aside and continued attacking.

"It doesn't make sense! Ice type moves aren't working and they won't stop fighting after we capture it. What's going on?" Kate stated as she dodged another attack from the Tangrowth duo. I looked around the room to try and find a solution but something caught my eye on both the Tangrowth's necks. It was two familiar thick metal black collars that were locked around their necks. Now that I think of it, back on Nabiki Beach the Buizel back then was exactly like the Tangrowth pair and had the same collar around it's neck. That must be it!

"Guys, aims for their necks then capture them! Trust me!" I shouted before I took out my styler from my jacket pocket. The others looked at me like I was crazy but then they too noticed the collars. Mace landed a powerful kick to one of the Tangrowth's necks and the collar broke instantly while Kellyn unleashed a strong 'Dragon Claw' on the other Tangrowth's collar. The Tangrowth pair was still attacking them but it was a little less aggressive and they appeared like they were in a trance. Kate got her styler from a strap around her leg hidden under her skirt and got ready for the capture.

"Three. Two. One! CAPTURE ON!" Kate and I shouted at the same time as we released the capture disc. The Tangrowth were hard to capture with their powerful attacks but Fro helped a bit with her 'Blizzard' attack to weaken them, which worked this time! After a minute (well forty seven seconds for me and a minute to Kate) we successfully captured the Tangrowth. They were dazed for a bit, like they didn't know what happened in the past few minutes before running out of the building. Everyone came back inside with caution, as if there was a third Tangrowth going to pop out of nowhere. Luckily there wasn't so everyone calmed down.

"Is everyone okay?!" my mother shouted as her and the rest of the adults came running towards us in a worry. I was almost squeezed to death by my mum while Kate and Kellyn were being fussed over by Kate's parents. Mace was getting a hard pat on the back by her dad and it looked like it would hurt a normal human but then again this is Mace we're talking about.

"We were so worried about you, Keith. We had to calm down the crowd while we almost had a panic attack when you didn't come out. Thank Arceus you're safe," said my dad before he hugged me as well. I felt guilty and happy at the same time that my parents were hugging me. Guilty because I made them worry but I was also happy. I was happy because it's been a long time since my parents and I've been together like this. I just wished that this moment would last forever.

"Ahem! Sorry about that everyone. That didn't go as planned but thanks to our students, those two Tangrowth and all of us are fine. It is because of their bravery, initiative, intelligence and trust in each other that we are all unharmed. To that let us give them a round of applause and thank them," Principal Lamont announced before he started clapping. Soon everyone clapped and congratulated us. Kate turned towards me and smiled at me. 'We did great Keith,' Kate said through her telepathy and I smiled back at her. Then when everyone else sat down in their seats and all the teachers stood on the stage (even Mr. Kincaid since Chrom caught him in time before he crashed into a rock), the graduation ceremony continued. Before we knew it, my friends and I officially graduated from Ranger School!

Kate's Pov One hour later

After the graduation ceremony there was this huge party in honour of the students who graduated. All the students changed their clothes to be more comfortable. I was wearing a blue tank top with white sneakers and black leggings underneath blue shorts since it was a warm summer night.

Everyone was enjoying themselves while I had to do one of the things that would break my heart: saying 'goodbye' to Wes and the gang. Thanks to Principal Lamont telling all the other Ranger School principals around the world about how great they were: Lisa, King and the others got offered job placements in every Ranger School. They're going tonight so they can see every school and choose the right one before the new school year starts next month. Arceus, I'm going to miss them.

"Are you sure you'll be alright Big Sister? You might get in trouble and we'll be in a completely different region," Arthur says as he meddles with some type of machine in his hand which usually indicates that he's upset. The twins were hugging me like their lives depended on it. I kept telling myself not to cry but I'm slowly losing my will power to stop the tears.

"This is a great opportunity for you guys. You can't pass this up because of me. I'll be fine," I soothed Ste and El since they're starting to cry. Wes put his hand on my shoulder and looks t me with worry and sadness in his eyes.

"We all know that the prophecy is happening and the Hunters are after you, of course we will worry. Plus if the Rangers find out who you really are-"

"They will know sooner or later, Wes. It can't be stopped. That's in the prophecy after all," I explained to Wes before he cursed in Mewlatin. Lisa put her hands on my shoulders and gave me a sad smile.

"Even though the prophecy is coming true and we'll be in a different region, we always help you in a heartbeat. Just give us the word and we'll come charging in," Lisa said before the gang gave me a group hug. The hug lasted for a moment until we broke apart. I said my 'goodbyes' before going over to Keith, who was sitting in a chair wearing a green t-shirt, light blue jeans and green sneakers.

Keith had been waiting for me this whole time since he knew how hard this was for me. I'm glad to have someone like him as a friend.

"So Keith, what did I miss?" I asked casually trying to get rid of the sadness. Keith stood up from his chair and smiled at me.

"Well you missed the adults doing the 'Macarena Dance'. Let's just say that Ms. April is not the most graceful dancer. Also my mother nearly had a heart-attack when your mum was talking about how we would get married in the future," Keith joked and I laughed as the scenes came in to my head. Before I knew it, Keith was holding my hand and my heart suddenly started to beat faster.

"Come on, the others are waiting for us. Let's go!" Keith said as we ran out the door. I could hear my dad and Crawford making a fuss about how I'm being kidnapped by Keith but I didn't care. I'm just happy that Keith is with me.

"Guys, they're here!" Rosie exclaimed as Keith and I ran down the stairs to the Ascension Square where Kellyn, Mace, Rhythmi, Isaac and Rosie were. They were wearing summer clothes as well because of the heat. Everyone was holding the envelopes they got at the ceremony along with Keith and I. These envelopes contain the places where our new lives would begin and we agreed to open them together.

"Okay, on the count of 'three', we'll all open our envelopes at the same time. Ready?" Isaac said as we all got ready to open our envelopes.

"One...Two...THREE!" We all shouted as we ripped the envelopes open and took out the paper inside. I saw on my paper that I'm based in Veintown, Almia. Just like my mum knew I would be (She can never keep a secret when it comes to something like this).

"Kate, you're in Veintown too! We'll be Rangers in the same base," Keith said as he showed his paper, which was like a game of 'SNAP' reading the exact same location as mine. I was so happy that I jumped into Keith's arms. We were both laughing like idiots as we hugged.

"Hey! What about me? I'm going to be your new Operator!" Rhythmi exclaimed as she joined our hug. After we stopped hugging I learned that Kellyn, Rosie and Mace are based in Summerland, Fiore while Isaac will be working for Altru Inc., one of the biggest energy companies in the world and its headquarters is in Almia.

"I can't believe that we're actually going to do our dream jobs. Someone pinch me!" Mace exclaimed. Kellyn had an evil glint in his eye as he picked up Mace from around the waist.

"Pinches are overdone. How about we do this the old fashion way, Mace!" Kellyn said as he walked to the port. Mace was struggling in his arms, trying to get out of his grip. Her shoes fell off as she tried to break free.

"Ke-Ke, don't you da-AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mace ordered but she was thrown into the ocean by Kellyn before she could finish her sentence. When she got out from under the water, Kellyn was laughing at Mace's misfortune. Then Mace grabbed Kellyn's hand and pulled him into the ocean, catching him by surprise. We couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

"Come on in guys! The waters great!" Kellyn shouted as Mace splashed him with water. Roise just giggled at their antics before she herself took off her shoes dived in with her Leafeon. Isaac was lifted by Chrom and was dropped into the ocean. Chrom 'Cannon balled' into the water, splashing everyone. Rhythmi was giggling before she was caught by surprise when Fro pushed her in. Fro was about to make a cool dive but she tripped and fell in. I was laughing my heart out from the sight. I was happy that we're all together like this before we separate.

Then Keith grabbed my hand again and gave me his usual goofy smile.

"Ready to make a splash, partner?" Keith asked. I smiled back at him and held his hand. I nodded 'yes' and we both did a running jump into the ocean. I forgot my worries. I forgot my sadness. I forgot the prophecy. I felt like a normal girl playing with her friends. I would never replace my friends or this feeling for the world.

Rhythmi: WE FINISHED THE SCHOOL ARC PEOPLE!

Keith: Hey, wait. Where's IMN?

Kate: Guys, what's that door over there? *Points to a random door that is opened*
