Karrie: pokelover0ash does not own anything except for her OCs and her own ideas

Chapter 46: Hajimes Competition

Karrie woke up early and she sneaked into the bathroom quietly before putting on her Martial Arts uniform. She first put the pants on which were black instead of the traditional white and then she put on a black t-shirt before putting on the black top of her dojo uniform. She then tied her belt around her waist carefully and tightly. This belt was black, showing the fact that she was ranked a black belt.

She redid her braid and then stepped back into the bedroom. She walked silently out of the room, barefoot, before running silently to the dojo where other Hajimes were waiting.

Red was there in the black version of the dojo uniform which meant he was a black belt and so was Gold, Jimmy, and Meiko. Garnet, Kellyn, and Sapphire were there but they were dressed in the white uniform that had a black collar for the top of the uniform. Bruno didn't bother to have the top of the uniform, but that was normal. Sakura was there but she had plain white uniform because she was only a blue belt, soon to be purple.

The parents there were Travis, Rex, Zoe, and Gwen. Travis and Rex were dressed in dojo attire while Zoe and Gwen was there to supervise. Caitlin and Lyra were there, but not to fight.

"So Karrie, you want to spar a bit before we have the official competition in front of people?" Red asked.

"Caitlin and Lyra are here to create a barrier so that you guys can fight for a while without the others knowing or seeing what's going on," Zoe said.

"Great, that means we can go all out, Ray," Gold said. Karrie smiled.

"You're on Trickster," she replied.

"I want to join in too," Red said.

"And don't forget me," Jimmy added.

"Don't yer dare leave me out," Sapphire said.

"Hey now, don't think I'll let you kids have all the fun!" Meiko said while slapping Gold's and Sapphire's backs, hard.

"Me too!" Sakura said but then Bruno picked her up by her collar.

"I think it's a little dangerous for you to join in on this fight," Bruno replied.

"I'll standby with Sakura," Kellyn said.

"Thanks, I wanted to join in on the fight," Bruno replied before handing Kellyn his cousin.

"I want to fight!" Garnet shouted. Caitlin smiled and then a psychic barrier that was soundproof came up to surround the fighters in an adequate spaced arena. Lyra cheered and then the dojo was engulfed in a time warp.

Jimmy, Gold, and Garnet smiled and were ready to rumble as their eyes glowed certain colors as electricity started to spark around them. Jimmy's glowed red, Gold's glowed yellow, and Garnet's glowed white with only a speck of black in the middle of his eyes showing.

Red also had electricity sparking round him except it was blue instead of yellow. His eyes glowed red. Bruno closed his eyes as darkness started to shroud his feet. Meiko grinned as her eyes turned from brown to red. Sapphire's eyes turned from blue to yellow as the ground started to shake. Karrie grinned and suddenly her nails elongated and sharpened as her eyes turned red and her teeth started to sharpen.

"Man does it feel good to use powers again!" Karrie exclaimed.

"You're telling me!" Sapphire replied.

"Let's RUMBLE!" Gold yelled before taking off at the speed of light at Karrie. He hit Karrie in the stomach and electricity seemed to hit her. She flew back a foot but she shook it off like it was nothing.

"Dummy, didn't you study Pokemon types in Trainer School?" Karrie asked. Jimmy went to attack her but she blocked this time. What seemed to be total chaos was then set loose.

Fighting went on for thirty minutes and the fighters were loving every minute of it.

"Would yer stop going so freaking fast?" Sapphire asked Jimmy and Gold who were taking advantage of the fact that Sapphire wasn't the fastest Hajime in the family.

"Sorry Sapphy," Gold replied. "We are older, you know?" Karrie then did an uppercut to Gold's chin.

"Stop being such a brat!" Karrie said. "You're only older than her by barely two months!"

"Maw, come on," Garnet said with his head stuck in the ground. "Not!" Garnet tried getting his head out by himself and was failing. Sapphire looked over and stomped her foot once. "Cool!" Garnet's head popped out of the ground. "Thanks Sapph!"

"Next time, try to remember who he is, Nettie," Sapphire replied. Garnet nodded and then faced Bruno who was smiling. Meiko went to punch Bruno when Bruno shifted back into the shadows but he then winced as he then got a burn on his shoulder.

Suddenly, they were all stopped as Caitlin took down the barrier. They all looked and saw that Rebecca was there with Daniel (a.k.a. Kellyn's and Karrie's parents).

"Hi Mom, Dad," Karrie and Kellyn said.

"I'm impressed Caitlin, normally Zenya has to help you to put up a barrier like that for so long," Rebecca said.

"I've been practicing," Caitlin replied. "And she loaned me some of her power for this." Rebecca nodded and then she looked at those who had been fighting.

"Come here, let's treat your injuries," she said and they all lined up to be healed before the time warp was taken away and they were returned to the regular time. Sapphire, Meiko, Gold, Red, Bruno, Garnet, Jimmy, Karrie, Kellyn, and Sakura then returned to their normal selves an spared like any normal person would.

Students started to file in and were seated in the seats looking onto the fighting arena. The other Hajimes were there, some standing up while overlooking the arena, some standing on the perimeter, some busy greeting people, and some of the others were doing things out of the view of others.

Kate, Keith, Laurie, Todd, Rhythmi, Isaac, Summer, and Ben found Ethan, Moon, Kenny, Lyra, and May.

"You guys aren't participating?" Kate asked.

"No,"Kenny replied.

"Fighting hand-to-hand isn't our strong point," Blue added as she walked over with Kiwi and Skyla.

"Oh," Kate said.

"I'm a little surprised that Kellyn's fighting," Summer said. "He seemed to be more of someone who would rather negotiate than fight."

"He's one of the ones who can keep a level head 90% of the time," Blue replied with a smile and a nod. "So it's good to have him with that group." Kate smiled.

"I thought that at least Ethan and Kenny to be fighting," Keith said. Ethan and Kenny sweat dropped while Blue giggled.

"Most of us who don't participate in Martial Arts end up participating in dance," Blue replied. "I believe Kenny's the only boy who participates in dance." Kenny blushed. "Ethan normally is found gardening, Skyla is found flying planes, Roxanne teaches, Jasmine works at her gym, Caitlin sleeps a lot, and Zenya's a ranger, so yeah." Kate laughed. 10 people stepped on the arena and lined up according to height and age with the oldest and tallest five in back and the youngest and smallest five in front. Travis and Rex stepped up with microphones.

"Welcome Ranger students!" Rex said. "We would like to have our ten best students of the dojo entertain you with a few demonstrations!" Everyone in the audience clapped.

"First, let's introduce our top ten to you!" Travis said. "We have Miss Meiko!" Meiko walked around and stepped into the center of the arena before bowing and returning to her spot. "Mr Bruno!" Bruno did the same as Meiko. "Mr Red!" Red did the same as Meiko and Bruno. "Mr Gold!" Gold did the same as those before him with discipline that Kate and Keith never saw in him before. "Mr Jimmy!" Jimmy did the same as his brothers and now they were getting to the people in the front row. "Mr Kellyn!" Kellyn had been placed in the front row in front of Bruno since Gold or Jimmy would look smaller than they really were in front of Bruno. Everybody cheered as he walked to the center of the arena and bowed. He then walked back to his spot. "Miss Sapphire!" Sapphire did the same as Kellyn. "Miss Sakura!" Sakura, though the smallest and youngest, proudly did the same as Sapphire and Kellyn. "Miss Karrie!" Karrie did the same as those before her, ignoring Keith's cheering. "And Mr Garnet!" Garnet smiled and did the same as his cousins and brothers.

First, the ten Hajimes performed forms together. After that, they stood to the side as Travis stood in the center of the arena, ready to call out an individual to do something. He had Sakura perform a few forms using the Bo staff. Garnet showed off by using nunchucks, Karrie got to show off using sais and she was very happy to use them, Sapphire used kamas, and Kellyn used twin katanas (which was pretty cool to watch).

After weapons were used, they were taking turns to spar with each like as if it was a sparing tournament. It eventually went down to Bruno, Meiko, Red, and Karrie. Garnet was beaten by Sakura which was humiliating to him, Sapphire beat Gold but was beaten by Karrie, Kellyn beat Jimmy but was beat by Red, and Sakura was beaten by Bruno.

Karrie and Red were up against each other while Meiko and Bruno were up against each other. Red and Karrie's match was a long, intense one but Red eventually won. Bruno lost his match to Meiko so it was Red versus Meiko. Meiko barely won against Red, but everyone was laughing and having a good time by the end of it down in the arena anyways.

The ten Hajimes walked off the arena after bowing and entered the locker room.

"Now, while you are here, you can take lessons for free!" Travis said. "Some of those you see will be teaching classes." He took a moment to breathe and for people to take in what he just said. "Thank you for watching!" Travis and Rex bowed and then exited the arena.

"Let's go see them come out," Blue said before dragging Kate, Keith, Isaac, Rhythmi, Laurie, Todd, Ben, and Summer to the hallway entrance to the locker room. They popped their heads in to find the nine who were in full uniform perform with their dojo tops off, meaning they only had t-shirts on their tops. This allowed people to see their arm muscles. They were pretty well built, even Sakura's, at the least. They were using towels to wipe off sweat or to toss at each others faces.

Kellyn noticed them at the door and walked over with a towel over his shoulders and using part of it to wipe sweat off of his forehead. His t-shirt was soaked with sweat, causing the outline of his abs to show on his t-shirt. That's when Kate noticed that Kellyn had a six-pack an she started to blush as she tried not to stare at his abs.

"Hey Kate," Kellyn said.

"Ha ha, looks like your girlfriend's drooling over your six-pack!" Gold exclaimed while leaning on a set of lockers. Kate started to turn bright red while Kellyn started to blush.

"Hey, look at this way, she's got something to look forward to seeing after you two get married!" Jimmy said. Kellyn and Kate turned bright red. Kate looked at the ground while Kellyn looked at his two cousins. "Ow!" Karrie had slapped Jimmy in the head. "What was that for?"

"Leave Kate alone," Karrie replied. "And teasing Kellyn's MY job." She smiled and rest her towel on her shoulder before turning to her friends. She then got whipped in the butt by a towel courtesy of Gold. "EEP! GOLD!" Meiko and Sapphire punched Gold in the head on opposite sides of his face, causing him to fall down and be knocked out temporarily.

"Pesky pervert of a cousin," Meiko and Sapphire said together.

"Thanks Meiko and Sapph," Karrie replied.

"You'd think he'd learn by now," Red said as he came strolling to the scene.

"He gets hit the head too many times to remember to learn to stop," Sakura replied.

"We should probably go back to our rooms and get changed," Bruno said and Meiko picked up Gold and put him over her shoulder with easy. Meiko, Sapphire, Jimmy, Garnet, Red, and Sakura left.

"Well, I better start heading to the room," Karrie said as she put her hands behind her head. She then left the room as her friends and brother watched her leave.

"I, um, I um, I should go get changed now too," Kellyn said before trying to leave.

"So, meet up by the fountain?" Kate asked and Kellyn nodded.

"Sure," Kellyn said before leaving. Laurie, Kate, Todd, Rhythmi, Isaac, Ben, and Summer left. Keith went to leave when Bruno came up behind him.

~Keith's P.O.V.~

"So you're Keith Dazzel," Bruno said. "The dreamwalker." Wait, how does he know I'm a dreamwalker? Wait, his voice sounds familiar, like that male voice that spoke before I was kicked out Karrie's dream.

"How did you?" I asked and Bruno smiled. "You, you're the one who kicked me out of Karrie's dream the one time I tried out my powers!"

"Glad you figured it out," Bruno replied.

"But wait, how do you know I'm a dreamwalker?" I asked. "Does Karrie know? How did you get in my head to speak to me?"

"Karrie does not know that you are a dreamwalker," Bruno replied.

"Gram said that they only ones who could tell if you were a dreamwalker without being a dreamwalker themselves or being told or have the power to talk to us in our minds or stop us when we're inside people's dreams or controlling people's dreams are Darkrai, Cressila, and the chosen protectors that were chosen by them," I said and that's when I made a few connections in my brain. Bruno was quiet, he liked darkness according to Ethan and Karrie, he could kick me out of peoples dreams, he could speak into my mind, and he knew I was a dreamwalker by just looking at me. Bruno is Darkrai's chosen one! "You're Darkrai!" Bruno smiled. "Which means that, that Hajimes are the chosen protectors!"

"So you heard about the chosen protectors," Bruno said and I nodded.

"Gram and Gramps used to tell me about them all the time," I replied.

"That's... good," Bruno said.

"So, wait, if you're Darkrai, then Meiko must be Entei, Blue's Suicune, I think Jimmy's Raikou and Gold's Thundurus, Kiwi's Mew, Sakura's Victini, and," I started to say but Bruno put his hand up to stop me.

"Correct, but don't tell anyone that you know or they'll think that Kellyn and Karrie told you and Kate," Bruno said. "Which means that they'll be in BIG trouble." I nodded.

"Can you tell me who Kellyn and Karrie are?" I asked and Bruno shook his head.

"I can't," he replied. "But I'll tell you who Cressela is since you'll bump into her and she can help you, plus she'll have to help me watch over you. She's a Top Ranger named Zenya." I nodded. I remember seeing her at the One-Day Intership. She was Ben's transportation to and from the Fiorre Star Elite Ranger School. She had a Garevoir as a Partner Pokemon.

"Hey, do you think Ethan's gay?" I asked suddenly after a moment of silence. Bruno started to crack up laughing.

"I think enough secrets have been spilled because of me already," he replied. "Although, I have to say that it doesn't matter if he's gay or not, he's still a good kid." I nodded and then left to meet up with the others at the fountain. I think things are making more sense, especially with the whole Hajime telepathy. Wait, does that mean Kate is a chosen protector as well?

Keith: HA! I know more than Kate about the Hajimes!

Me: =P

Karrie: wait, what?

Kellyn: Ash...

Me: ^_^" don't look at me, I didn't tell him, technically

Kate: T.T guess we'll find out later

Me: yep!

Keith: REVIEW!
