Chapter 2: Let the Rivalry Begin

Disclaimer: I do not own pokémon or the characters. Only the storyline.

Dawn's POV

After a while of talking to the boys, excluding Paul who just listened to his iPod; we decided to go check out our dorm room. Someone had already come by and got our luggage to put in our room so we didn't need to worry about it. Once we had finally found our room and Gary did the honours of opening it; trying to show how much of a gentlemen he is.

"Oh my Arceus," we all said except May, Drew and of course Paul.

"Eh, it's not as big as I'm used to but, I guess it will do for now." Drew said in a cocky tone, well I mean he was rich in all. So I guess he would say it and not care what everyone thinks.

May began to examine the room a bit more. "My bedroom was bigger. Oh well I'm living with my friends and away from my stupid parents!" everyone just stared at her in confusion. She saw this, and her only statement was, "it's a long story. I'll tell you later."

"I'm going to find my room." I didn't recognize the voice. I then realized it was Paul actually say something for once.

I stared at him. "It speaks!" there was laughter in the room. Paul gave me a death glare before turning to the long hallway; I'm guessing where the room were.

I went to the kitchen of our dorm to get a glass of water. Apparently I wasn't the only one who had that idea. I found everybody there drinking water. May ran up to me with a panicked look on her face. She grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me, "there's no food in the fridge!"

I grabbed her hands and put them at her side, "then go find some. Knowing you, you could sniff some out in about ten minutes." Drew was in the middle of taking a sip of water and hearing me say that made him do a good old fashion spit take.

I drank my water and went to find my room. After opening all the doors in the hall except two, I mentally sighed. "of course this would be hard to find the room I'm staying in for the year." I sighed again, but out loud this time. I tried the next door. Once I opened it I realized this was once again the wrong room, but this time I realized it different from the others. See the other rooms had people's luggage in them, this one, well it had a person. Well, I wouldn't have cared usually but this was a little different; it had Paul, a shirtless Paul to be exact. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.

I guess Paul had heard me open the door because he turned around. "Don't you knock?" he said it in a rude tone, I didn't expect anything else because for the like two hours I've known him, he has said a total of nine words.

I was shocked he said anything to be honest. "s-sorry, I was trying to find my room," I was trying to get rid of the blush on my face, but it just wasn't working. I mean for a person who is such a jack ass, he is ripped as hell and dare I say it, hot. Ugh, I can't believe I just thought that.

He noticed the blush on my face. Shit. "I'll take it you like what you see, you're blushing." Shit shit shit shit shit. What the hell am I supposed to say to that!

I raised my arms straight out, as if I was showing someone to stop. "NO! I just wasn't expecting to see you without a shirt on is all."

He grabbed a black shirt with a skull on it and put it on. "Sure. Now get out of my room." He turned my around and shoved me out the door; closing it behind me. Well it was more of a slam.

I went to the last room and opened the door. "Finally found it. Yes!" The blush on my face was going away at last. I looked around the room. The walls were pink. Yay, my favourite colour. There was a queen sized bed with my magenta suitcase on it and my guitars and microphone were set up in the corner. I opened one of the doors located within the room; it lead to a huge walk in closet. I then closed the other door and it was the bathroom; a fancy one to. The bathroom consisted of a glass shower, a bathtub, sink, toilet, a cupboard and mirror. I closed that door and grabbed my acoustic guitar, it had belonged to my dad before he died, and headed to the living room.

The others had moved to the living room. Once I walked in I was greeted with smiles. "Dawn! Let's here you play something! I haven't heard any of you guys play yet!" Ash stated as he got up from his seat.

Gary nodded in agreement, "Ya, you should defiantly play something. All of you should. Then we could play after you." He put his hand on Ash's shoulder.

"A chance to see how much you suck...I'm down with that." Leaf stood up while smirking at Gary. She ran to go get one of her instruments from her room.

Once Leaf returned, she was holding her violin and bow. "I vote on hold. What about you guys?" she looked towards Misty and May.

"Sure," they replied in unison. They got up and went to their drum set and keyboard that were set up in the living room.

"One sec. I need to grab my electric and mic," I ran off to my room to switch from my dad's acoustic guitar to my black and blue electric one. I didn't need to grab an amp because one was already set up in the living room. I also grabbed my mic and mic stand.

As I headed back to the living room, I saw another body in the living room. As I passed him I said, "Decided to come out of the cave I see." I went over to set up my guitar and mic; I could tell he was glaring at me without even turning around.

Once my things were ready I nodded towards the girls signaling I was ready. We began to play. (A/N: hold by Superchick)

[Dawn] Tell me that it's gonna be okay
Tell me that you'll help me find my way
Tell me you can see the light of dawn [all] is breaking
[Dawn] Tell me that it's gonna be all right
Tell me that you'll help me fight this fight
Tell me that you won't leave me alone[all] in this

'Cause I need
I need a hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding over slowly
'Cause I need
I need your hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding past
Hold on to me

Leaf began on her violin.

[Dawn] Tell me I can make it through this day
I don't even have the words to pray
You have been the only one who never left me
Help me find the way through all my fears
Help me see the light through all my tears
Help me see that I am not alone in this

[all] 'Cause I need
I need a hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding over slowly
'Cause I need
I need your hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding past
Hold on to me

I began with my guitar solo, which went into Leaf's amazing violin skills.

'Cause I need
I need a hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding over slowly
'Cause I need
I need your hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding past
[Dawn] Hold on to me

Once we finished Iris and Cilan clapped well, the boys just kinda stared at us, like they did when we first met. I needed to know what was going on in their minds, so I asked. "uuhhh guys, what's with you?"

Ash started to respond; it was like a chain between three of them. "That was-"

Next was Gary, "actually-"

And last Drew, "good."

Paul just slid his guitar to the front of him and unplugged my guitar from the amp. "Well, aren't you grumpy today." I said as I walked away.

Gary's POV

Damn. I wasn't expecting them to be that good. May was like a goddess playing her keyboard. And Misty just seemed like she was born to play drums. Dawn was like the girl version of Paul, she was super talented. Finally, Leaf. That girl is already smoking hot, funny and smart, but now she goes and is an amazing musician. Fuck. I can't believe this, I have never seemed to notice things about girls other than their looks. I mean the four of them are all hot, but there's just something about that Leaf. She's interesting, but she wouldn't even think about going out with me. She seems to hate me. I mean she's already punched me like 100 times for flirting with her; I don't think she's getting the hint.

Then it came to me; what if I could win her over with my music. She might like me. I need to find a way to do that.

"Yo Leaf, can I use your violin? I asked her as I held out my hand

She handed it to me, "you break it. I will kill you." I walked over to the others who were getting ready. Well it was only Paul; he was getting his dull purple and grey plaid guitar ready.

Once Paul was ready he thought for a second before turning to us, "We're playing Comatose." There was no arguing we all agreed. I began to play the Leaf's violin. (A/N: Comatose by Skillet)

[Paul] I hate, feeling like this
I'm so tired, of trying to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of
Is waking to you

Tell me, that you will listen
Your touch, is what I'm missing
And the more I hide I realize
I'm slowly losing you

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an
Overdose, of you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'Less I feel you next to me
You take, the pain I feel
{Drew}Waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way, you make me feel
{Drew}Waking up to you never felt so real

I hate, living without you
Dead wrong, to ever doubt you
But my demons lay in waiting
Tempting me away

Oh, how I adore you
Oh, how I thirst for you
Oh, how I need you

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an
Overdose, of you
[ Lyrics from: . ]
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'Less I feel you next to me
You take, the pain I feel
{Drew}Waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way, you make me feel
{Drew}Waking up to you never felt so real

Breathing life
Waking up
My eyes open up

Comatose
I'll never wake up without an
Overdose, of you

I don't wanna live!
I don't wanna breathe!
'Less I feel you next to me
You take, the pain I feel
{Drew} Waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way, you make me feel
{Drew} Waking up to you never felt so real

Oh, how I adore you
{Drew}Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh, how I thirst for you
{Drew}Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh, how I adore you {Drew} (Comatose)
{Drew} (Oh! )
The way, you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real

That should show her. "I wouldn't picture you as the type to play a violin." Leaf told me. Wait she used a normal voice, one that she uses with friends. Oh my Arceus! It might have worked a bit! Maybe she's a softy and would like me more if I told her why i play the violin.

"I actually learned to play it for my sister. Same with guitar. She loved how they sounded so i wanted to thank her for taking care of me." I told her. Please oh please don't hit me.

"What about your parents? Didn't they take care of you?" my face went from a smile to looking depressed.

"Well actually, when I was really little my parents just disappeared. So my sister took care of me. But Gramps helped too. It's just Daisy took care of me for the most part." Leaf's face dropped.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-" I had cut her off.

"It's okay you didn't know." she then hugged me. The Leaf hugged me. I felt myself blush, but i quickly got it off my face before she could notice. She released me from the hug and i gave her back her violin. Off she went to put it in her room. I walked over to the group to hear them fighting about something. I wasn't quite sure what it was but they were fighting.

"Leaf is a way better violinist then Gary!" Dawn was Shooting the my band.

"No way!" uh oh Paul was angry. This isn't going to end well.

"Guys! Can't we just say that they are equally good at playing it?" Cilan was trying to calm them down; I guess he and Iris felt weird in the middle of them.

Everyone yelled at him, "No!"

Leaf came back holding a chocolate bar in her hand. "What are they fighting about?" damnit she was even cute when she was confused. Screw hormones; i officially hate them.

"They're fighting over who is a better violinist." I leaned towards her to tell her.

She giggled. Why does she need to do that I already like her. Did I just say I actually liked her? This day just keeps getting weirder. "Of course it's me. I'm way better then you." she now faced me holding her chocolate bar in both hands, like a little kid would.

I leaned down to her; I was about six inches taller so it was quite the lean. I was only boy an inch away from face when I said "you know you are really cute when you laugh." I didn't realize what i said until I saw her face with an angry expression. I was still close to her when I said, "Fuck! Not again!" I ran from her as fast as I could, she caused me around the dorm.

As Leaf was chasing me there was a knock on the door. Iris got out of the crowd and answered it. It was Nurse Joy, I saw as I ran past the door. The two were talking about something. I thought Leaf had stopped chasing me so I stopped in the middle of the living room. Then it hit me; literally. Leaf tackled me to the floor, how to hell is this chick so strong!

"Ow ow ow ow ow!" Leaf had grabbed my hair and was smashing my face into the floor, over and over again. "Some...one...help...me!" i felt Leaf's weight get off my back. She still had a grid on my hair, but then that was gone to. I flipped onto my back; I was still on the hardwood floors but now rubbing my cheek. I saw Paul holding her in the air. She was squirming and kicking. She was wearing a skirt so i could see her lime green panties. I needed to hold back my comment, i tried but it just came out. "Nice panties." I smirked at her. Leaf just stopped, looked down and I guessed realized she haven't changed yet.

"You fucking perverted bastared!" he he, oops.

"I'm not helping anymore. You deserve this." Paul put Leaf down. Oh shit. She came right at me. I got up as fast as I could and started running again. And so it began again.

May's POV

Well Leaf was out to kill Gary, i realized something. "Guys we never told Ursala that we were accepted!" the boys and Iris looked at me as if I were crazy, but Dawn and Misty new exactly what I meant. Misty ran to her room.

Once Misty got back she was doing something on her blue laptop. "Ursala is online, let's video call her." Misty clicked the call button and it began to make the sound of a phone.

"Ugh, what do you want?" Ursala had answered phone unused. Dawn, Misty and I were crowded around the computer.

Dawn spoke, "We just wanted to tell you where we were."

"Why should I care where the hell you are?" man she was Extra bitchy today, oh this was going to be good.

"Because we are at Sunnyshore School of the arts." we smiled. And her jaw dropped. Oh this is the best.

"No way!" she seemed happy for us. What the hell is wrong with her.

I decided to reply this time. "Yes way!" I smirked at her.

"Yay. I knew you would get in," we looked her in shock and confusion. She continued, "I know you thought I was really a bitch but the truth is. It was all acting! You see I've wanted to go to that school since before I met you guys. And I've always liked acting. So I acted like I hated you so that you would get in. Because you all were such great musicians I knew you would get in for sure. You see you are my ticket into that school because i have footage of our lives. And with you saying i was acting, I could get in! But next year though." we were still confused about the whole thing, but we knew what she meant.

"Here let's show you the dorm, let me just switch to the tablet it's more portable." Misty was telling Ursala as she switched from the laptop to tablet. The boys were out of the way, well on the couch, although Leaf and Gary were somewhere running around. Iris was watching TV well sitting in the chair next to the boys.

After we showed Ursala all the rooms except living room, we went to introduce her to our roommates. "Alright, this is Iris, Cilan, Ash, Drew and Paul." everyone was watching tv except Paul who was retuning his guitar. Misty did a scroll across them making sure that she showed everyone.

"Misty, where's Leaf?" she was confused cause she had not seen her the entire call.

"One second," Misty pointed the camera at the door. "That is Gary," Gary had run past paste camera. "And that's Leaf!" Leaf went flying past the camera screaming at Gary.

"Never mind ...oh I gotta go! I'm meeting with some friends to go shopping. BYE!" we waved good bye as she hung up the video call.

Gary came walking into the room holding his arm .Leaf skipped in a few seconds later.

Iris came up to us. "You know how you were fighting at who's a better violinist?" we nodded. "Well nurse Joy came by to tell both bands that they were performing at the welcoming assembly later. I had this idea where we perform 2 songs together. And it can be like z war to see who is a better violinist. What do you think?"

"That's a great idea! We could do a violin version of Through Fire and Flames, and then we could do another song for the winner of it." I'm guessing the boys overheard Iris, because that was Drew's idea. Man, he was clever, smart and rich; my parents would be trying to get me to marry him by now. Ugh.

"Hey look, leaf head is actually smart for once." we all laughed at Paul's comment. Except Drew who just looked at the ground in shame.

"So it's settled. Later this matter will be settled." Iris smiled.

This was when the battle began.
