Kates' P.O.V
I yawned as I sat in class, Keith on my right, daydreaming away, Rythmi on my left listening intently, Glaceon by my side, sleeping the day away without a care in the world, lucky girl.
"Alright class, now as you know, today's the day of our trip to Summerland," Ms April announced, my head shot up from Glaceon as she woke up, jumping to her feet, I smiled a little, "Now Kate, I know you haven't been here very long, but we will be visiting Summerland for a week or so," Ms April added, I looked at her.
"Why?" I asked, she only smiled at me.
"To observe all the pokemon in the forest and the sea, I hear it's the best place, but you have to be careful of rampaging Sharpedo," she explained, then went deep in thought, I looked at Glaceon, who just cocked her head to the side, I smiled as I petted her head.
"Now, you have an hour to talk amongst yourselves, before we finish packing and head out," Ms April said, everyone nodded as we all began talking.
Rythmi, Seren and Kellyn came over to talk to us, Glaceon jumped onto my desk as I carried on petting her, Rythmi and Seren copying my actions, Keith and Kellyn smiled.
"I know what I'm doing when I get there," Kellyn said, we all looked at him.
"What's that?" Seren asked, Kellyn smiled widely.
"I'm going hunting for Summerlands' Gift," he said, Glaceon growled a little but the petting calmed her down.
"You won't find it, no one's ever seen it," I said, Keith smirked.
"Actually people have seen it," he said, we all looked at him, I cocked a brow, "I did some research last night," he said, all our eyes went wide, "Don't give me that look," he growled.
"Ok Mr Smarty Pants, who has seen Summerlands' Gift?" I asked him, he smirked at me.
"That's where the beauty of the situation lies my dear Kate," he said, I gagged while rolling my eyes at him, "You see, most people won't say if they've seen Summerlands' gift," he began, I raised a brow at him, "But, after much, much research, I have some to the conclusion that Summerlands' Gift is a," he stopped to build up the tension, though I think I knew what was coming, "Building," he finished, I stared at him, then blinked, I blinked again, and I third time, then I burst out laughing.
"Oh man, that's rich that is," I said, "I needed that, thanks Keith," I called as I began walking out the door, Glaceon on my tail.
I sat in mine and Rythmis' dorm room, I had just finished putting a bikini on when the door opened, I turned my head to see Kellyn, Seren, Rythmi, Isaac and Keith. Kellyn and Isaacs' mouths dropped while Rythmi and Seren started fussing over how cute I looked, while Keith was just staring in shock.
"Woah, Flat Chest has some," he said, I growled.
"Well, too bad I can't say the same for you," I said to him, he rolled his eyes, Rythmi groaned.
"When will you two grow up?" she asked, I looked at Keith, then smirked.
"When he loses his virginity," I answered, everyones' mouths dropped open, but Keith just smirked.
"Who's to say I haven't lost it already?" he asked, the others turned to him in shock; I rolled my eyes then sighed.
"Who would be able to feel such a small dick in them?" I asked him, I felt arms slip around my bare waist as I slipped my top over my head, "What the…." I trailed off as I felt something poke my ass cheeks, turning my head I saw Keith behind me, I smirked.
"Feel it?" he whispered to me, I smirked wider.
"Didn't know you had the hots for me, I think it's time you cooled down," I said, Glaceon then shot an ice beam out of her mouth freezing the pervert in place, Rythmi and the others clapped, I smiled, "Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week," I said as I pulled my skirt on, we then all sat around on mine and Ryths' bed as we began talking, leaving Keith frozen, I enjoyed the peace.
Later the same day we were all stood in the hallway, all of Ms Aprils' class, oh and Isaac, Kincaid let him come with us a, still frozen, Keith was stood next to me. Ms April gave me a stern look, I sighed as I hit the ice bang in the middle, making it crumble away, an almost blue Keith emerged, almost, he glared at me.
"You're fucking crazy," he said, I smiled at him.
"Did you only just figure that out?" I asked, he growled before walking over to Kellyn and the other guy in our class, I didn't bother memorising his name like.
We listened as Ms April began to talk about what we would do, how we would behave, where we were staying.
"We're staying at Summerlands' Gift Hotel," she said, I pumped my fist in the air, attracting her attention, "what is it Kate?" she asked, I only smiled.
"Nothing," I answered, once all that was done we walked out the school to a waiting coach, I smiled as I sat next to Seren, Rythmi sat across from us, making it easy to talk to her, Keith and Kellyn sat in front of us, while Isaac took the seat next to Rythmi, who blushed, I rolled my eyes at her then made a kissy face, she glared at me.
I was ordered by Ms April to put Glaceon into her pokeball until the end of the trip, though I knew once we were on the boat she'd come back out.
The ride to Pueltown was quick and fast, since we were on a coach. Once we got to the docks we were having one of them speedboats take us, making our journey to Summerland incredibly quick.
Everyone began getting their luggage off the coach as we walked towards the boat.
"This is gonna be a fast trip," Ryth muttered, I smiled as I jumped on the speedboat.
"Cheer up," I said while putting a thumbs up, "Nothing's better than the salty sea air running through your hair," I said.
"Is that our Katherine Jones I hear?" someone said, I turned around, an old man, in his early fifties smiled at me.
"Grandpapa?" I asked, the man smiled wider.
"GRANDPAPA!" I yelled as I hugged the older man, he laughed at me.
"How've you been sweetheart?" he asked, I smiled at him.
"I've been great, how are mom, dad, Remi and grandmamma doing?" I asked, my grandpapa smiled at me.
"They're fine, they're looking forwards to your little trip, now who are your friends?" he asked looking at the class, and Ms April, who had just joined us.
"Oh, this is my class, this is my teacher Ms April," I said as I pointed to her, "This is Rythmi," I pointed to Ryth, "This is Seren," I pointed to Seren, "This is Kellyn," I pointed to Kellyn, "This is Isaac," I pointed to Isaac, this is "This is Sean," I pointed to the other boy in our class, "And this is the annoying Keith," I finished, everyone greeted my grandpapa as we climbed onto the boat, once he started it going he pulled me away from my friends and into his cabin before locking the door.
"Are you out of your mind?" he asked me, I rolled my eyes.
"Grandpapa, if this is about Keith-,"
"This is not about him, this is about how you feel for him," he said, I looked at him confused, mainly as to what he was implying, "You know that his father is after Summerlands' Gift, if he gets his hands on you, he will kill you," he exaggerated the final words, making me grimace, "You can't go around falling in love with Keith," he said, I looked at him in shock.
"I'm so checking you into a mental home when we get back," I said, he glared at me, I held my hands up in defeat, "Grandpapa, I don't feel anything for him, trust me," I said, my grandpapa looked at me concerned then narrowed his eyes.
"Cross your heart and hope to die," he said, I rolled my eyes.
"Cross my heart and hope to die, or let Arcues bleed me dry," I said, my grandpapa nodded as he unlocked his cabin, I walked back out to the others, who looked a little shocked, Ms April looked concerned.
"What was that about?" Rythmi asked, I looked at her.
"Family stuff," I answered before we continued talking, I saw Keith looking at me then my grandpapa before joining in the convo.
"LAND HO!" Grandpapa yelled, I turned to see Summerland coming into view, everyone was stood on the pier, I smiled as I stood from my seat.
"We're here," I called to Ms April, who nodded, while Keith rubbed his ears.
"For an old geezer he sure has a loud mouth," he said, I slapped him over the head, "HEY!" he yelled, I growled.
"That old geezer is my grandpapa," I seethed through clenched teeth, "So shut up," I said, Keith rolled his eyes again, once the boat stopped I jumped out of it, instantly getting glomped by my bestie.
"OH MY ARCEUS!" my bestie, Safia, yelled, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE BACK!" she yelled again, I pushed her away.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE SCREAMING IN MY EARHOLE!" I yelled back, she burst out laughing as did I, she then grabbed my top and skirt and ripped them off, "HEY THEY'RE MY FAVOURITE!" I yelled, she only winked and began running off; I followed after her as everyone on the pier gave me high fives.
"WELCOME BACK KATIE!" they all yelled, I turned, jumped in the air and pumped my fists up, Glaceon came out of her pokeball and used blizzard to make a white effect in the background, everyone cheered, it felt good to be home.
As we ventured through the boardwalk in Summerland, everyone was talking, high fiving me or saying 'hey' to me, I smiled and said 'hey' to everyone back, Rythmi and Seren walked next to me, even though I was only in a bikini, everyone was confortable, the guys walked in swimming trunks. We finally made it to Summerlands' Gift Hotel; I took a deep breath before walking in.
There was no one at the front desk, or at the tables in the lobby, I cocked a brow, Ms April walked next to me.
"Wonder where they are," she said, we walked forwards, she rang the bell, I rolled my eyes as I jumped up on the desk, knowing full well what happened.
"So, which 'en is it this time?" I asked as I looked at my father, who was laid on the floor, "Get shocked or burned?" I asked again, my dads' eyes shot straight open.
"KATIE!" he yelled, people are yelling too much around this place.
"The one and only," I said, my dad jumped around the desk before spinning me around.
"Honey what's with all the racket?" my mom asked as she walked down the stairs, Remi walked behind her.
"BIG SISTER!" she also yelled, she ran towards me once dad set me down, I picked her up and spun her around.
"Oh Kate," my mom said as she hugged me, she also gave me a kiss on the cheek, I smiled at her, Ms April looked at me.
"Well, this explains why you didn't pack anything," she said, I turned to her.
"Yep," I nodded, my dad then got that stern father look on his face.
"Which one of you is the one who gave my little girl a condom?" he asked, his eyes wondered around the group until they landed on Keith.
"I bet it was you, wasn't it Dazzle?" he asked, Keith only glared at him.
"Dad, chill, it was a joke Keith didn't do anything," I said, my dad turned to me, shock evident in his eyes, then he frowned.
"When did you become so friendly with him?" he asked, I sighed.
"Why would I be friendly with Small Dick over there?" I asked, Keith glared at me.
"Shut it Flat Chest," he said, my dad turned to him, about to yell at him when my mom spoke up.
"Adir, don't be so impolite," she said, she stepped forwards, offering her hand to Ms April, "My name is Freya, I apologize for my husband's behaviour," she said, my dad glared at Keith one last time before looking at Ms April.
"My name is Adir, I also apologize for my behaviour, I was out of line," he said as he shook her hand, Ms April smiled.
"Well, I can see where Kate gets her manners, I'm Ms April" she said, my mom and dad smiled at her.
"I'm Remi, I'm Kates' little sister," Remi said as she also shook Ms Aprils' hand, Rythmi and Seren looked at her as mom and dad went over to check us all in.
"Aw aren't you cute," Rythmi said as she picked her up, "I'm Rythmi," she said, Remi smiled at her as she hugged her.
"I'm Seren," Seren said as she took Remi from Ryth, Remi then hugged her.
"My name's Isaac, nice to meet you," Isaac said, Remi smiled at him, "I have a sister about your age, maybe you could meet her someday, I'm sure you'd get along great," he added, Remi nodded as she shook his hand.
"My name's Kellyn," Kellyn held his hand out as Remi shook it, he shook her hand making her arm go all over the place, Remi just laughed at him.
"My name's Sean," Sean said as he shook her hand, Remi smiled at him, Remi looked at Keith, knowing full well who he was, but wanting to know how he'd introduce himself.
"I'm Keith," he said as he looked down at her, he knelt to her level, everyone looked at him, my parents were quite scared that he was getting so close to their youngest, "Nice to meet you," he said, Remi smiled as she held her hand out, Keith shook it as he smiled back at her.
"Well, Keith does have a soft spot," I said, he glared at me.
"For children yes, for you," his eyes trailed over my body, "Never," he said, I rolled my eyes at him, then noticed I was still in my bikini, I blushed at the thought of him only doing it to check me out. Remi ran over to one of the tables in the room as Glaceon followed her.
"Alright, we will show you to your rooms, please follow us," my mom said, "Kate you have your room as normal," she said, I nodded but followed them anyway.
"Your family are nice," Ryth said, I nodded my head.
"Yeah, your sister's so cute," Seren said, Kellyn fell back with Keith to talk to us.
"We can see who you take after," Kellyn laughed, I rolled my eyes, then remembered something.
"Hey mom," I called running to her, she turned to me, "How's dad anyway, is he ok now?" I asked, my mom laughed.
"Oh your father, he always bounces back, he's fine," she said as we continued walking, she showed Ms April her room and Sean his room, "How's Crawford?" she asked, I smiled.
"He's doing great, he may even get a girlfriend," I said, my moms' eyes went wide, "Oh and he's grown an afro," I added, my moms' face filled with horror.
"Your brother always was a strange one for fashion," she said, then smiled at me, "Who may his girlfriend be?" she asked, I smirked.
"Luana, you know the one he talks about from his base?" I asked, mom nodded, "I saw her, she's gotten prettier," I said as we showed Seren, Rythmi, Isaac and Kellyn their rooms, now it was just me, mom and Keith, I could tell she was really uncomfortable.
"Hey, Mrs Jones?" Keith asked, my mom turned to him in shock.
"Y-yes?" she asked, Keith looked at her, then around the hallway we were walking through.
"I was wondering, why is this hotel named Summerlands' Gift?" he asked, my moms' eyes shot wide open.
"Well, that's because we're very grateful to have Summerlands' Gift, even though no one has seen it or knows where it is," she explained, Keith nodded his head before his eyes rested on a picture of me and Remi when we were younger.
"You've got a nice family," he said, my mom nodded towards him.
"Thank you," she said, we carried on walking until we were at Keiths' room, which was across from mine, with that my mom left, Keith turned to me.
"Don't think because I'm polite to your family, I will be to you Flat Chest," he said, I rolled my eyes.
"Zip it up Small Dick, Ms April wants us to rest, so rest, tomorrow we're going to the forest," I said, Keith rolled his eyes before walking into his own room, I sighed as I walked into mine, it hadn't been touched. I smiled as I flopped onto my bed, not even bothering to put any pyjamas on, it was unusually hot tonight, I shrugged it off as nothing as I went to sleep.
Rythmis' P.O.V
I tossed and turned in my bed, I couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't, I sighed as I got up out of bed and walked towards my door.
I knew Seren would be asleep, Keith would be, so would Kellyn and Isaac, I could try Kate, maybe she would still be up.
Walking down the halls I stopped in front of a door that said 'KATE' in gold letters, I knocked on the door, no reply, I opened the door to see Kate sleeping peacefully, under the covers, my mouth dropped, it was boiling and she was under the covers, I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair.
"Guess she's used to it," I muttered as I walked towards the entrance of the Hotel.
"I'm going for a walk Mrs Jones," I said as I neared the reception counter, Mrs Jones looked at me.
"Oh of course, it's unusually hot tonight," she said, I laughed.
"Tell me about it, Kate's asleep under the covers," I said, Mrs Jones laughed at that.
"Same old Kate, anyway be safe Rythmi," she called, I smiled at her.
"I will Mrs Jones," I said as I began to walked out the door.
"Rythmi," Mrs Jones called, I turned to her, "My name's Freya, not Mrs Jones," she said, I laughed but nodded my head.
"All right, I'll be back soon Freya," I said as I left, I began walking down the boardwalks, they were still warm, I sat at the edge of one as I dipped my feet into them, a couple of teenage girls walked passed me talking about random things, then one topic caught my attention.
"I'm glad Summerlands' Gift's back, even if it is only for a while," one of them said, the other girl laughed.
"Imagine what that Dazzel boy's father would do if he found out she was back," the same girl who laughed had said that, I kept listening for a while.
"Yeah, I know, I just can't believe that she wanted to be a Ranger," the other said before they were out of ear shot.
"Summerlands' gift is back, it's a person, and she wanted to be a Ranger," I muttered, my eyes shot open as I realised who Summerlands' Gift was. With that I began to make my way back to the hotel, making sure to confront Kate about it the minute I got back.
Kates' P.O.V
I shot up in my bed as thunder clapped in my head, someone who wasn't supposed to know knew I was Summerlands' Gift, why the thunder? I had no idea, I was just having a normal dream until it clapped in my head, making me jolt awake. I gasped for breath as I placed a hand over my heart, the thunder clapped again, that's when I realised it wasn't in my head, Summerland was having a storm, I looked out my window, the lightening spread throughout the sky as the thunder clapped, a roar was heard, I smiled slightly.
"Raikou the god of thunder and lightning, leaps great distances and can communicate with the one hero of the world," I muttered as I placed my hand on the glass, the lightning and thunder began to settle down, but then there was a knock at my door, my eyes trailed to it as a frown came on my face, the person who knew I was Summerlands' Gift was on the other side.
"Come in," I called, the door opened, a blonde with curls stepped in, my frown left my face a little as I looked at Rythmi, "So," I said as I looked her in the eyes, "You know huh?" I asked her, Rythmi closed the door before sitting on my bed.
"You're really Summerlands' Gift?" she asked, I sighed, I was hoping she would say 'know what?' or something along those eyes.
"How'd you find out?" I asked, she shrugged.
"Two girls were talking about it, I pieced it together," she said, I shook my head.
"I told no one to say anything about it when tourists are here," I muttered, Rythmi placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Secret's safe with me," she said, I smiled at her.
"Thanks," I muttered.
"But why didn't you tell us?" she asked, I looked at her with the 'Are-you-really-that-stupid?' look, which made her rethink her question, "Keith," she said, I nodded my head.
"I didn't say anything because he would tell his father, who would come here and try to use my 'powers'," I said doing air quotes around powers, Rythmi giggled.
"So what do you do?" she asked, I shrugged.
"Nothing really, I can befriend and calm down any pokemon I need to," I answered, then looked at Rythmi, "The whole of Summerland knows, including the odd few from other Regions and cities, you cannot tell anyone," I said to her, she nodded her head.
"I won't," she answered.
"Cross your heart and hope to die," I said, Rythmi rolled her eyes, déjà vu much.
"Cross my heart and hope to die, let Raikou strike me down if I lie," she said, I nodded my head.
"Alright," I said, Rythmis' attention them turned to the sky, the storm had calmed down, the clouds were going as the stars appeared, Glaceon turned in her sleep, Rythmi smiled at me as she stood up.
"I'm gonna hit the hay, night Kate," she said, I smiled.
"Night Ryth," I answered as she closed my door, I climbed back under my covers as I went back to sleep.
Well that's chapter 5 done, I had to add in this little trip, I don't think enough goes off in the Ranger school, if you want them to do something on their trip, just say so and I'll make it happen, other than that please REVIEW :D
