(Regular POV)
"Alright" the hyperactive red head beamed, finally figuring out what uniform to wear when, as she grabbed all her things and shoved them into her school bag along with her pokeballs, slung it over her shoulder and called out "I'm heading out now, Ami!"
Her indigo haired roommate peeked her head out from the bathroom door and waved merrily.
"Bye, bye sweetie! Would you like a goodbye kiss?"
"No thanks!" Eri quickly replied before darting out the door.
"She's so cute when she's bashful…" the older girl giggled.
Meanwhile, the girl dashing down the hall slowed her pace to a walk as she panted "why does she have to tease me like that, it reminds me of…" she shook her head, pushing away the memories. "He's not here right now, he's in Unova."
"…what am I doing depressing myself now? I need to get some grub!"
And with a hop, skip, and step, the red head made her way down the hall into the cafeteria, instantly looking for her Korean breeder friend as she made her way into the line.
"…Geez. I don't see him. Where could that stupid Sung be hiding anyway?"
"Ah, miss, please order something."
"Oh sorry! I'll have the B breakfast, with the D side dish."
"Alright, let me see your card."
"Right away." Eri beamed, while she pulled a golden credit card-like piece of plastic out of her bag, and handed it to the twenty something lady behind the counter.
"thank you." She smiled briefly before sliding the card in the machine and handing it back. "Here's your meal." She said, handing Eri her tray.
"thanks"
Taking one more look around the cafeteria, she noted that Sung wasn't there, and that she should look outside instead. "Whoa…" the redhead spoke to herself. "I was so busy running away in fear, I forgot to notice what a beautiful day it is!"
With her eyes on the sky, Eri watched the clouds float by in the warm breeze. One looked like a bunneary, the next like a charizard, Pikachu, ursaring, and—
"Ough!"
She hit the ground with a thud as her lunch tray went flying in the sky after shy tripped over a large but low surface.
"Aw man, there goes my breakfast" the trainer cried as the tripped over object got up with a grunt.
"Hey." He growled darkly.
"Huh?" Eri turned around to see a teenage boy with shoulder length, ebony, spiked hair, tanned skin, and one of his eyes was red while the other was purple. He was also a great deal taller then her when he stood up with a sour look plastered across his face. "Oh, hello!"
"How…can you be so cheery…" he started, "When you just tripped over someone?"
"Oh, I…uh…"
"SHOULDN'T YOU AT LEAST BE SORRY?"
He clamped down on her shoulders tightly and glared deeply into her bright yellow eyes, as if he were using leer.
'wow…he has really pretty eyes…' was the last thing going through her mind as her head turned back and she was out.
"What the…?"
"zzz…"
"H-hey! You did NOT just fall asleep on me!" He shouted, starting to shake the unconscious body back and forth. "Why isn't she waking up?" he asked, moving his hand over to her forhead. "Either she's a really heavy sleeper, or she's got a AH-!"
He quickly pulled his hand away from the heated surface.
"…fever…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Well, I can't settle this with the brat if she dies here, might as well take her to the infirmary…"
So, he tossed the trainer over his shoulder like a rice sack, and headed out towards the nurse's office.
(Elsewhere)
The cool breeze tussled through the man's raven hair pulled back in a short ponytail. The sun heated up his black jacket as he walked up to the main building laxly, despite being about 15 minutes late.
"Sou, you actually made it!" a pleased, 40-something looking man said excitedly. "I would scold you for being late, if I weren't surprised that you came at all."
"Hn."
"You'll have a sixth period class to teach that will be held in the red building when not outside."
"…Sounds good."
"and you'll start once you have enough students."
"You mean, you didn't tell people about my class yet?"
"Well, we couldn't since we weren't sure if you'd show up or not. We can't exactly say that we're gonna have a class, then the teacher doesn't show up, leaving disappointed kids."
"…fine."
"But don't worry, your class is sure to be popular. It'll only take a day or two for you to have a full class if we sent out an announcement."
"Great, there's a certain student that I intend on getting."
(Back to Eri)
"No!" Eri called, sitting up in a cold sweat in the nurse's bed.
"Ah! You woke up!" Nurse joy beamed "You slept through your first three classes, so I got worried."
"First three…on my first day? Aw, man…I was trying to avoid that."
"Well a boy with red and purple eyes brought you here, he was such a bashful fellow…"
'Ah! The boy from before…'
"Okay…" She said, pulling out her schedule "I missed 'training, items, and P.E. (yay) …so what's left is bonding/care taking, Strategy, and the free period before homeroom with Miss Suzuki…Thanks for taking care of me, nurse!" she called, before dashing out of the door before the main building.
"Okay, so the red building is right there and –ough!"
She had just smacked right into some poor guy in a green uniform.
"WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS TODAY?" She cursed at herself, before dusting the blonde boy in front of her off. "So sorry, I'm just having a rough day…"
"No problem," he charmed, flashing a winning smile to prove he wasn't mad at the little clutz. "I'm Kairi by the way."
"Eri."
"Eri, you wouldn't happen to be lost, would you?"
"…maybe."
"here." He charmed, "I'll take you to your next class."
"Ah! Arigatou!"
"No problem, what's your next class?"
"Bonding…"
"That should be in the yellow building, come on."
"Okay."
Though, while she was following the kind student, certain thoughts flew through his head. 'That's strange, she doesn't seem to be effected by my charm…oh well, it's good to see someone a bit different.'
"So," Eri started. "How long have you been attending this school?"
"About a year or so…"
"So you started around my age."
"Something like that."
They continued their small talk for another 30 seconds before he stopped.
"This should be it."
"Ah! Thank you so much, Kairi! It would have taken me forever without your help." the girl beamed, peering into his eyes gratefully with her own golden ones.
He felt his face heat up.
"D-don't mention it."
"Oh, your face is red! Are you sick? I get like that sometimes, but my body gives out before I have the chance to—"
"Do you want to be late for class?"
"Oh, guess you're right…well, thanks again for all your help! I hope we bump into each other again, sempai." She beamed before turning around and heading into her class.
"Y-yeah…" he trailed off before turning to leave and getting lost in thought. 'Just what exactly is with that girl…? She's so…different.'
"Sorry if I'm late!" Eri cried, opening the door to see a class full of mostly yellows with a couple reds and blues scattered, and an older man standing in the front. The next person she saw lit up her face.
"Oh there you are, Sung! I couldn't find you this morning!"
"Ahem!" a voice cut her off. "Miss Tsukimoto I presume?" Mr. Salin coughed to get her attention. "I suppose you have a good reason for being late today, hm?"
"I was in the nurse's office."
"Do you have a slip?"
"Oh, I uh…" Eri trailed off, avoiding eye contact 'crap!' she thought, 'I was in such a hurry, I forgot my slip.'
"If I may add something," Sung cut in "She shouldn't need passes due to her condition."
"Do you have proof?"
"Call the councilor."
The late forty something picked up the phone and dialed in a number before having a brief conversation and hanging up. "Very well, Tsukimoto, you're excused…now take your seat."
She nodded before giving Sung the "I love you" look as she sat behind him. Though he returned it with the look of "I better be getting paid."
"Alright kids, for our starting lesson, please send out one pokemon…the smaller the better please."
Now the problem with that is her two smallest pokemon are her two biggest trouble makers. After a bit of debating, she decided Arra would get in less trouble, so she let out her tiny, blue and cream colored electric type that sat on her desk patiently.
Looking around, there was actually a large assortment of pokemon released, Sung didn't have many small pokemon, so he just let out his deino, Lyssa.
The class went by quickly, and the students moved onto their other classes, while Eri had to go to the second story of the red building in four minutes, barely making it on time, claiming her seat, right by the door.
Pleased with herself, she smugly grinned before deciding to scan the class. Ironically, right next to her was—
"Ah! You're that boy from before!"
"Tch. It's going to get annoying if you keep calling me 'that boy,' it's Raven."
"Well, I'm Eri. Thanks for actually bringing me to the nurse, most people would have left me there!"
"The only reason why I saved you was so I could evoke revenge on you myself. So don't get any ideas on dying, cause the one who's going to take you out is me."
"…I don't follow."
"My nap, you woke me up from it."
"Oh, sorry about that."
"Hn."
"But if it makes you feel better, I didn't get breakfast because of that (or lunch)."
"Whatever."
"Okay, class. Settle down." The teacher sighed while walking in.
She was a slim and beautiful young adult with strawberry blonde hair put up in a ponytail, and shining bright green eyes. Her sky blue sun dress was accented by her silver sandals fastened safely around her feet.
"I'm Miss Adara Mars Johanson, but please just call me something along the lines of Miss Adara…because Ms. Johanson makes me seem older then I actually am…many of you recognize me from your training class, because I was the assistant teacher, but Mr. Watanuki canceled on us last minute, so I guess I'm your new teacher!...or at least until we find a new one to take over."
The apple haired spaz attack of a trainer raised her hand.
"Ah, yes?"
"Why can't you just be our teacher?"
"Weren't you listening? I'm an assistant teacher. I don't quite have the qualifications to—"
"I'm not buying it."
"Excuse me?"
"You're probably just as skilled if not more than any other teacher in this school. You are the person who walked in and started teaching us on our first day, so you're the one I recognize as my teacher."
Adara flushed as all eyes were on the young teen with a big mouth.
"and what is your name, miss?"
"Eri Tsukimoto."
"Well, Eri. Thanks for the little pep talk. Now shall we get started on today's lesson plan?"
"Yes, sensei~"
The class period went by rather quickly, 47 minutes just went by like lightning before an announcement came on.
"A new class option for sixth period is available, if you are interested in the possibility of becoming a pokemon ranger, then please excuse yourself, and head to class 14 in the red building. There are no restrictions on your color group also."
'A ranger?' Eri perked up instantly, she had heard about these rangers, and how they could befriend and travel with as many pokemon as they please without the six pokemon rule, thanks to the little gadgets they had. 'Sounds like fun.'
She stood up and left with the other students, heading down the hall after waving to the young teacher she had befriended.
"Hey, are you stalking me?" Raven glowered darkly, noticing that she had left too.
"What? No. I just wanna be a ranger! If anything, you're stalking me…creep."
"What…?" He hissed, far more irritated then before; about to snap.
"Hey, bro calm down. I was kidding, jeez…you're just like my little brother."
"…"
There was an assorted amount of faces and colors in the room, mostly reds and blues with a few yellows and greens and very little whites, before she could look for anyone she might know, something caught her attention.
"EEERRRIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
"Wha—?" was all she could get out before being tackled to the ground by her blue haired roommate and nearly hugged to death.
"A…Ami….…n't…..brea…th…!" The red headed trainer gasped, as her face turned red, then purple, and nearly blue.
"Hey," Raven cut in "You're going to kill her, get off."
"Hm?" Ami looked up, almost annoyed with the person who was interrupted Her Eri time until she saw him standing above her. "O-oh…sorry." She sighed releasing the younger girl.
'Tch.' Raven thought 'I'm not letting anyone kill the baka before me…though this seems to be harder then originally thought.'
Meanwhile, what was going through Ami's head at the time was: 'Wow, he seemed pretty concerned over her…maybe he likes her as much as me! We could start an Eri brigade! …holy miltank, I think I'm in love.'
The class took their seats, Eri's happy-go-lucky and excited when she heard a voice in the hall.
"Well excuse me for having trouble finding a class room in a place I've never been before…"
"Oh dear Arceus why?" she mumbled before standing up and saying "You know what? Maybe rangering isn't for me…"
"But you just got here."
"I just gotta go!" She cried, about to dash out the door before crashing dead smack into the chest of the raven haired young man before her, grinning darkly at her.
"My…what have we here? You wouldn't be trying to escape my class, now would you?"
"Ehehe?"
"You know this means punishment, right?"
The red head stared up in horror at the person who had told her about rangers in the first place. "But…"
"No excuses, Riri."
"Don't just bluntly call me by my nickname, I told you that was special!"
"My…you were a lot cuter when you would follow me around calling 'Onii-tan! Onii-tan!'"
She flushed.
"I never did that and you know it!"
"Yeah, I know…but you're just so adorable when you get all flustered." He grinned, placing his hand to her soft cheek, only to get it slapped away by Ami as she pulled Eri's face into her chest protectively.
"And who are you to sexually harass my waifu?"
"W-wife?" Eri cried.
"Oh really now." The dark haired teacher exclaimed unimpressed. "I believe I called dibs a little bit ago in Unova."
"What the heck, guys, I'm not married to either of you!"
"Aw~ how sweet, she's denying our love! It's ok, Eri. You don't need to be ashamed!"
"Back off, I saw her first!"
"Well you let her go, now didn't you?"
"What was I supposed to do? Follow her home like a lost growlith?"
"How annoying." Raven said flatly "This is like watching one of those harem animes…"
"Enough of this mindless bickering," The adult of the group cut in "Eri, I'm not letting you quit this class because I know you want to be a ranger."
"Oh, really now? DO tell Sou."
"Think of all those pokemon that will follow you around with blind love…"
"…you've managed to talk me into it." She spoke, going off into her own delusional dream land.
"Excelent! Now take your seat."
"Okay…" she moped, heading over to her seat as he stood in front of the classroom.
"Hello class, My name is Sou. As for my last name? It makes me feel like my father so I won't let you address me by it. Just call My Sou Sensei. Yes I will teach you about being a ranger and the tools you need to befriend wild pokemon, though when you get good enough, You won't need it."
Eri rolled her eyes. "Like you?"
"Yes, just like me. I can't help it if pokemon adore me."
"My pokemon hate you."
"Yes, my dear…that's because YOU hate me." He replied, faking a sad face.
"I don't hate you; you just say and do stupid things that annoy me."
And the class went on like that for another half hour with Eri's witty retorts all through until the bell rang, excusing them to homeroom.
"Freedom!" The firey haired ranger in training cheered, heading down the hall to her homeroom with Raven. The irony of it all was that the two shared most their classes despite his "rivalry" with her. "I swear, any teacher they give me is better then him."
"Ah," a young woman smiled, noticing the two teens walk down the hall. "A few strands escaped her loose platinum blonde bun as she waved, noticing that they were headed towards her class.
"Welcome, you two! I'm Miss Kagura, or Miss Suzu if you prefer. Go ahead and pick your seats!"
"Ah, thanks!" Eri grinned, noticing she was quite young with her youthful face and the way she dressed (minus the lab coat).
She had homeroom with a lot of people she knew, and sat next to Sung (again).
Though she wasn't sure about having an old friend as a teacher, she knew this would be an interesting year, full of surprises."
Well then what did you think about this chapter, Hm?
I'm sorry I made some people rangers without permission first, we can change that if you'd like. (there are some other characters I stuck in that class that aren't in this chapter.) Also if you want to be a ranger too, either PM me or put it in your review.
I kinda purposefully waited until school started for me to post this because It'd make more sense on my calendar so I don't have to write about summer in the middle of January. :I
Ah… what else…what else…?
Oh, I think I'm pretty much done accepting OCs, because this story is pretty full and I still have some of MY characters I want to put in.
Also next episode is where a lot of cool stuff happens (hopefully if I remember and put it in correctly). Eri should start her job, meet some new people, the head of the school is introduced and all that fun junk!
