Char's Days in Nido City
By: Alpha29King
Chapter 4: First Day of School and of Work
Sidenote: I'm making it that mammal-like Pokemon give birth like real world mammals and the only ones to lay eggs are the reptile-like and bird-like Pokemon. This way the story is more interesting to read. Oh yeah, one more thing. Thank you Calvarygirl15 for the suggestion, but 'Blade' is a too common a name. But I might use it on another Gallade that's going to make an appearance soon. So thank you. And for the last name I've chosen, well you'll just have to read and see.
One week later…? Monday Morning
"Kids," called Char from the foot of the stairs, "you're gonna miss the bus if you don't hurry." She smiled as they came down. She crouched down gave them each a kiss on the cheek before they walked out the door.
Knight came down and hugged his wife. He then swung her and held her from falling on her back. They stared into each other's eyes for what felt like minutes. He then started kissing her passionately as he pulled back up. Char then wrapped her arms around his neck. She let out a moan as Knight tightened his arms around her waist as he pulled her closer.
When they pulled apart to catch their breaths, Char had a flirting smirk on her face. All he could do was twirl her in a short waltz. God, he loved her. He kissed her forehead.
"Thank you," he sweetly whispered in her ear.
Char pulled away from his warm embrace, confused. She asked, "What for?"
Knight pulled her back into his arms and positioned his chin on her head. He rubbed her back and answered her questions, "For being my only reason to reject confessions from other girls and all those marriage offers my parents tried to force on me."
"You're welcome, honey," she blushed. He chuckled
At the bus stop…
"Here it comes," Coco told everybody when she saw the school bus turn the corner.
As the bus rolled to a stop, all the children started to line up to hop on board. It was a big green bus. It was about thirty-feet long. The name of the academy on the side read, 'Nidoria Academy,' was printed in brightest white ever. The borderlines above and beneath the name were cherry-red. The academy logo was on the rims and as a hood ornament. It was also painted on the end of the bus. The windows were all tinted.
The doors swung open and a laugh came from the inside. "Looks like we got some new faces today, Ehh."
The young psychic-types were in front and were nervous. Arthur said, "Hi," when he saw the bus driver.
"Ahhahahaha, no need to be afraid," the driver encouraged them in. He gave another hearty laugh when climbed in slowly. "Ahhahahaha. The name's Tony, but everybody calls me Big Tony. You can me Big, you can call me Tony, or you can call me Big Tony. Heck, you can call me B.T. for all I care," he introduced himself. Then he asked, "So what are your names?"
Roger introduced himself and his siblings, "I'm Roger, my sister Juliet, my brother Arthur, and the twins Bianca and Dorothy."
"Nice to meet you yung'uns. Find a seat and sit down. Now," he paused with a great big smile on his face, "ALL ABOARD THE NIDORIA ACADEMY EXPRESS!"
With that, all of the other young Pokemon climbed in and took their seats. The academy logo was even embossed on all of the seats. The seats even had seatbelts. Roger sat next to the window behind Tony. A teenager sat next to him. Roger stared. The teen noticed this and smiled.
"H-Hi," Arthur nervously opened up to the teen.
"Good morning little one. I'm Juan," replied the teen, "are you new in town?" Roger just nodded for an answer. "I was chosen to run the academy's student store this year. It sells from school supplies and towels for the pool to snacks and ice cream."
Roger looked at him in awe. Ice cream in school sounded nice.
Back at the house…
Knight and Char were dancing in the living room. They stopped when it was time for Knight to go to work. Before he left, Char went to the kitchen and came back with a lunch he had prepared for him. Knight raised a brow when he saw the lunchbox.
"Is that my old school lunchbox?" he asked in confusion. 'I know I threw that tin box away,' he thought. She nodded with an embarrassed look on her face. He knew it was his old lunchbox even though it looked clean. The lightly carved-in heart with his and Char's name in the middle. The flower sticker Char gave him during their first date was still stuck there. Arthur's hospital wristband from when he was born was still hanging from the handle. Knight was only seventeen and Char was sixteen when they became parents. He smiled, took box from her hands, and said, "Thanks Hun."
"Go. You'll be late for your first day as an NCPD officer," Char hugged him, "just be careful."
Knight nodded and left. He climbed into the passenger seat of Silver's black sedan and Silver drove off. Char closed the door and went to the kitchen to make some breakfast when the doorbell rang. She went to see who it was. It was Mage. And she brought a large jug of her homemade carrot and orange juice and somebody else.
"G' morning," greeted Mage.
"Morning Mage," Char greeted back as her eye fell on the Espeon.
Mage noticed this and said, "Oh, sorry. Where are my manners? Char this is Susan and this," she motioned to the stroller with a sleeping Eevee, "is Sunny. Susan and her husband Shadow, he's an architect, live on the other side of your house."
"Nice to make your acquaintance," nodded Char.
"Same here," bowed Susan.
Mage just smiled until she said, "Now that we're all acquainted with each other lets have breakfast," as she hurried both of them inside.
At the academy…
The bus pulled up behind five other buses. All the passengers departed and walked to their part of the school. When the psychic siblings got off, they stared at the academy in wide-eyed amazement.
Nidoria Academy was an ancient castle built from great stone blocks. Two huge banners hung down from either sides of the entrance. Flags wave in the wind every ten feet along the top of the outer wall. The banners and flags had the school logos and were in the school colors. The large, hand-carved, oak double-doors were well polished. It was a grand site.
"Come on, guys," Coco's call brought them back from their trance, "this way. I'll show you where your classes are. Lets start with Bianca and Dorothy first."
They nodded and followed Coco and Aaron inside. Through the oak doors was the former throne room, as there were two thrones at the end of the room. There were two statues sitting on the thrones. They went through the passageway to left and turned to the first door on the left. Coco opened and greeted the teacher, an Infernape sitting in her desk.
"Hello, Ms. Verity."
The Infernape looked up and greeted back, "Why hello Coco. I believe you got the wrong room."
"I know Ms. Verity," Coco explained, "Bianca and Dorothy just transferred here and they'll be in your class. I was just showing them where your class is located."
"Welcome you two. Come in. Come in," Miss Verity said while swinging her arms signaling them both to enter the room. They entered and went to the desk.
Coco closed the door and said, "Aaron go to your class please." The young Riolu nodded before trotting to his preschool class. Coco sighed and continued, "okay. Roger you're next. Follow."
Coco took Roger to his class and introduced him to Ms. Georgiana. Then she took Juliet to her class and introduced her to Ms. Reba. When Coco closed the door to the second grade classroom, she turned Arthur and smiled, "Now follow me before we're late."
Arthur followed her to the first grade classroom and opened the door. Coco called out the Vespiquen at the front desk, "Good morning Ms. Nina!"
The Vespiquen looked up saw them and smiled. Coco grabbed Arthur's arm pulled him into the classroom. The bug-type then asked, "Who's this handsome lad?" Coco explained everything. "You're going to have fun in this class," Ms. Nina promised.
At the eighth police precinct…
"Well everything seems to be in order Mr. Everglade," stated the chief, a Ledian named Red.
Silver walked to the chief's desk and grinned, "Yo, chief. I got a suggestion."
"What's your suggestion, Lieutenant Nightwinter?"
Keeping the grin on his face he answered, "I want Knight here as my partner. I've been partnered with so many other guys that I never got along with. I get along just fine with him. And not just because we're neighbors."
Red nodded while taking a sip of his coffee. He then gave out a heavy sigh before he spoke, "You do make a good argument. I always want the officers to get along with one another. Fine, the rookie can be your partner."
Before Silver and Knight left the chief's office, Silver added, "Even if I make it as detective, Knight stays as my partner." With that, they left the chief to enjoy his bagel, coffee, and newspaper.
Silver escorted Knight to the locker-room. The lockers were all black with the slots that hold the nametags at head height. There they changed into their cop uniforms.
"You have a cute lunchbox," Silver picked on his new partner.
Knight just smiled, "Yea, that's my old box from my school days."
"I noticed the carving," said Silver wanting the details.
"I embarrassed her that day since I did it in front of her," he chuckled.
"What about the flower sticker?" craved Silver.
"Our first date. She had bought a book of stickers and gave me one," he explained.
"And the plastic bracelet?" asked Silver before drinking from a water bottle
"The day Roger was born. I was seventeen and Char was sixteen," said Knight with a glad smile on his face.
Silver choked on the water. He tried to talk while gasping for air, "Wait…What? How"
Knight grabbed his gun and attached the holster to his belt. He then proceeded with a low tone, "It a really long story. I'll tell you later."
Silver nodded and finished putting his uniform on. When they were both done changing, they left the locker-room and headed for the garage. They climbed into their squad cruiser and went to start their and patrol. While patrolling, Knight told his story.
Back at the house…
After breakfast, the ladies talked about their lives a home and their families. Mage and Susan commented Char on how good the meal she'd prepared was. She showed them the recipe book she had bought the previous week. Mage and Susan skimmed through the book, hand copying the recipes they would like to try. As soon as they were done, they went to the living room and watched a movie. Throughout the movie, they made comments or remarks about the characters or the storylines of some scenes. They laughed like crazy.
Mage and Susan wanted to the secret on how Char kept her young appearance after having five kids.
"C'mon, tell us. Please!" Susan pleaded.
"Yea, please, please, please," Mage joined in the pleading.
Char looked down at her hands on her knees and sighed, "It's not a secret at all, I'm just twenty-four."
Both of her friends stared wide-eyed at her, gawking.
Mage finally asked, "What…? How…?"
Char sighed again. This is going to be hard explaining this to her friends. Harder than she thought. Char continued, "I gave birth to Roger when I was sixteen. Juliet at seventeen. Arthur at eighteen. And the twins at nineteen."
"It must have been hard on you two," Mage said in shock.
Char shook her head, "No, not really. Knight moved out of his parents' house at sixteen into his own apartment. I moved in with him when I got pregnant. Knight and I struggled for a while. We were both still in high school. He was accepted into the Vista County Police Academy. Roger was born two weeks before Knight's high school graduation. I planned on dropping out, but Knight encouraged me to finish high school with honors. Two month after Roger was born, Knight's parents' house burned to the ground while they were asleep. Knight was left with a big inheritance. I graduated a week before Juliet was born. We got married by judge three days after giving birth to Juliet. The doctor, the nurses, and the other patients in the hospital were happy to be our witnesses."
In awe Susan asked, "What made you move here?"
Char gave another sigh before continuing, "The entire town pretty much shunned Knight and I. Knight promised me that when he was finished with the academy and found us a house out of town we would move. He kept that promise. Even though he had three extra mouths to feed with Arthur and the twins. But Knight didn't care about those details, all care about was getting us out of there."
Both Mage and Susan were crying when Char finished telling her families life story, then they realized what time it was. They bid good day to Char and left to their own separate homes. Char got up from the couch and went to do some housecleaning.

Note: The last name I chose for Knight and his family was Everglade. Don't criticize me, it came to me while watching Miami Animal Police this morning. The last name I chose for Silver and his family was Nightwinter. It came to me like this. I started to type this story at night during the winter.
I GOTTA BOUNCE. PEACE OUT MAGGOTS! (^o^)
