Ash was in the car with his mother as they were driving to a new school. "Mom, why do I have to change schools again?!" He cried as his mother sighed. "Because your other school was closing down." She said as Ash jumped up.
"Why weren't we told about that?!" He cried as his mother looked at him deadpan. "They did. You just didn't read the letter." She said as Ash went blank-faced.
"Ok, my mistake but do I have to enter a new school right off the bat?" He asked. "School closing down completely isn't a reason to not go to school." She said as Ash jumped up
"That's the perfect time!" He cried. He was wearing the Melemele Academy uniform consisting of a blue blazer with a black tie, white button-up undershirt, black and blue checkered slacks, and because the school was surprisingly cool…. Any footwear of his choice and he was wearing blue and white trainers.
He slumped back into his seat as they arrived at the school. They got out of the car and walked to the school as Ash put his hands in his pockets. "I'm gonna talk to the principal about your recent enrollment but he told me he had a student ready to show you around." Delia said as Ash nodded.
They walked into the school and went to the office as Ash waited at a chair and a voice called out to him as he looked up.
A taller boy with black and red hair looked down at him as Ash stood up. "You Ash?" He asked as Ash nodded. "You my escort?" Ash asked as the boy nodded.
"Names Kiawe." He said as Ash nodded and shook his hand. "Let's start the tour." He said as Ash followed him out.
The duo explored the school as Kiawe explained things such as after-school clubs and classes. Eventually, the tour left and students funneled out of their classes and out of school as Kiawe looked at Ash.
"Well that's the end of the tour." KIawe said with a smile as Ash nodded. "Thanks man. Must've been annoying having to show around some new kid." He said as Kiawe shook his head.
"It was nothing! As the student council president, it is expected of me to support and help new students," he said.
Kiawe then turned and said. "Some fear the idea of new students… some have dark pasts… strange mannerisms…. and …" He paused and turned to Ash with an evil grin.
"Dark and deadly secrets." He said as Ash went alert. "What do you mean." He said as Kiawe walked up to him before pinning him against a wall. "I think you know full well what I mean. Seen anything strange recently?" He asked as Ash froze.
It had been a few months since he fully could use it but years since he had gotten a strange power that was unlike anything he'd ever seen.
"I see." Kiawe said with a smirk. "You do have some-" Kiawe was cut off by a figure coming out of Ash's body and punching him clean in the chest.
The figure stood around Ash's height with a slender form and pure yellow skin and something resembling a yellow gi on its body. It also had black eyes with no pupils with yellow ears on its head with black tips. It also made red metal parts covering its knuckles and knees.
"So I was right! I felt that what I was getting from you was too unnatural!" Kiawe said as Ash glared. "You're a Stand User!" He said as Ash looked confused.
"I'm a what?" He asked as Kiawe stood up. "Now that I know that I won't be lenient with you!" Kiawe said before he ran at Ash with his fists clenched. "This isn't the first time one of you has attempted to enter the school and I hope to make this the last!" He said as Ash became even more confused.
But there was no time for that as Kiawe was on the attack and Ash had to get him away. Kiawe tried to punch at Ash but the figure knocked away his punch and slammed its fist into Kiawe's chest once more and sent the boy flying to the ground.
Ash then tore off and ran down the hallway. Kiawe then got up and started running after Ash as the boy turned a corner.
Sounds of a bucket hitting the ground along with water splashing happened around the corner as Kiawe cut around to see a blue-haired girl on the ground next to a knocked over bucket rubbing her head as Kiawe stopped and looked around.
"Hey you, have you seen a black-haired boy run past here?" He asked as the girl looked up and blinked before snapping awake and nodded. "Yeah he ran past while I was carrying this bucket and ran into me." She said as Kiawe nodded. He started to go in that direction before he stopped. "Say… what is your name?" He asked as the girl who was walking away stopped. "Uhh Lyra… Lyra Rhodes!' She said as Kiawe nodded before walking up to her.
"Interesting "Lyra" your name isn't very familiar." he said as Lyra backed up. "I haven't been here long." She said as Kiawe smirked. "Strange. I know every student's name in this school." He said as Lyra backed up.
"Not to mention… isn't it strange you're wearing a male uniform." He said as Lyra looked down on herself. She then looked up in a panic as Kiawe continued to smirk.
"So I wonder… who are you really?" He said as Lyra glared and sighed. Ash's stand then came out of her body and punched Kiawe in the chest again and blood spurted from his mouth. "Fell for the same thing twice huh?" Ash said as Kiawe stood up.
Ash then ran at Kiawe and her stand once again went to punch Kiawe but before it could another being came out of Kiawe.
A large figure with yellow skin and a turtle shell on its back and beak for a mouth with piercing red eyes. It blocked Ash's punch effortlessly and Ash seemed shocked as Kiawe smirked.
"I call it Turtonator! Did you think you were the only stand user? Surely you must've known that stands can only be seen by other stand users, correct?" Kiawe said as Ash gasped.
"I guess not." Kiawe said as his stand slammed into Ash's stand's chest and sent both the user and the stand into the bathroom.
Ash spat out blood as she stood up. "His stand is so powerful. How am I supposed to beat that strength?" She thought as Kiawe walked in. "So now we are in your worst possible location. Turtonator's strength is something to behold." He said as Ash glared.
Turtonator then rushed at Ash's stand and Ash's stand met his in a punch as Ash was overpowered and punched aside.
Turtonator then punched at Ash's chest but she stepped back and avoided as she fell down. Ash then noticed the bathroom sink and smirked. "So you think this is my worst location?" She asked as Kiawe glared. "Bluffing won't work on me." He said as he started walking forwards.
Ash then summoned her stand and it slammed into the sink as water burst from the pipe and blasted Kiawe aside as Ash ran for it and out of the bathroom.
Kiawe got up and huffed as he stood. "Looks like the kid has moves. But a stand that's ability is only to change your sex is worthless in the face of my Turtonator." He said as he ran out of the bathroom.
He then saw Ash outside as he smirked. "No intention of running away again?" Kiawe taunted as Ash glared. "You'll just run after me again so what's the point?" She asked as Kiawe closed his eyes.
"So you've accepted you'll never defeat my Turtonator and now you're ready to die. Well, I guess I should give you an honorable death." Kiawe said as Ash glared.
"I never said I was ready to die!" Ash cried as she summoned her stand and rushed at Kiawe. Turtonator breathed in before shooting fire at Ash as she gasped and jumped back.
"You sure? I think death is the best-case scenario for you!" Kiawe said as Ash tried to dodge the flamethrowers.
Eventually, Ash screwed up and nearly fell into the fire as her hand nearly touched it. But right as she did the fire swirled and was absorbed into her stand's hand as it absorbed the fire. Kiawe seemed shocked as Ash looked at her hand in confusion.
"What the…" She asked as Kiawe glared. "I thought his stand could only change his sex! How can it absorb energy?!" He thought as Ash stood up.
"I don't know what your ability is but I plan to make sure you won't get to use it again!" Kiawe cried as he rushed forward. Ash's stand then rushed forwards and met Turtonator's fist head-on and this time their strength was equal and Kiawe was shocked as Ash's stand took advantage and rushed forwards.
"Gomi! Gomi! Gomi! Gomi! Gomi! Gomi! Gomi! Gomi! Gomi! Gomi!"
Ash's stand pummeled Kiawe's as the boy was sent flying into a wall as Ash ran off. Kiawe laid there for a while as he panted. "W-where did that strength come from?" He asked as blood trickled from his body
Ash ran to the roof and crouched behind a fan as she panted. "Why is he attacking me?! And what the hell is a stand user?" She asked aloud. She then looked down at her hands as her stand's hands came out next to them. As she did that she remembered how she got her stand.
Ash was a normal boy at birth. He was born to a loving mother and an absent father but was raised in a safe household with a safe life. It wasn't until one day that his stand ability awakened.
Ash was racing cars with two other boys and was in second place due to an accidental wipeout and was struggling to catch the winner. "C'mon I wanna win!" Ash whined as his car couldn't catch up. "Nope I'm gonna win!" The boy next to him cried as he neared the finish line.
Ash was on the verge of tears as he pressed as hard as he could on the forward stick. But as if by magic, suddenly the car stopped moving. The kid seemed confused by this as he was pushing the button, and the car was making noise, and its wheels were spinning.
Ash's car blew by and he cheered as he won. The boy next to him blew up at him as Ash was celebrating. "No fair you cheated!" He cried as Ash shook his head. "Nuh uh." Ash said as the boy fumed and the teacher came to comfort him.
That wouldn't be the end of the strange things revolving around Ash. From things floating around him, to people being shoved away from him. Once when he was playing house he wanted to be the dad with his crush Serena. But another boy grabbed the hat and Ash got upset and the hat was picked off the boy's head and placed firmly on Ash's head as everyone screamed and one girl finally called him a name she learned from her mother after she explained what Ash does.
"He's possessed!" she cried as other students joined in and Ash started to cry. After that, Ash had zero friends and came to hate himself… or he would've if not for one boy. A boy named Gary noticed Ash's abilities and for the first time… said words he never thought he'd hear.
"Your powers are so cool! Wanna be friends?" He asked excitedly as Ash beamed.
From that day Gary and Ash were inseparable and were cool for years, going to the same school every year and everything. But all that changed in the 8th grade.
One day Gary got mixed with a bad crowd and got caught up in the toxic hell of gang culture.
Ash and Gary hung out less and less as Gary started to outright skip school and would be out of the house almost 24/7.
One day Ash caught Gary on his way back from school and had a conversation. "Yo Gary! What's up?" Ash said as Gary turned to him. "Oh was good?" He asked as Ash stopped. "Where've you been lately? Long time to chat." Ash said as Gary looked away. "Nowhere I jus been coolin." He said as Ash sighed. "You should come back to school man. What about your plans of being a college professor? Summer's almost here." Ash said as Gary sucked his teeth.
"Don't give no shits about that. School can suck a dick!" Gary said as Ash took a step back. "W-what? But you loved school!" Ash said as Gary shrugged. "Got a new crew. They all I need." He said.
Ash sighed again. "Don't you think this new crew is a bad influence-" Ash was cut off by Gary whirling around at him. "Fuck outta here! Soundin like my moms n shit!" He spat as Ash was taken aback. "B-but Gary!" He cried but Gary wasn't having it.
"If you gonna be a little bitch about it. Then go on somewhere. Ion need yo ass anyway." Gary spat one last time before walking off.
That was the day… that Gary and Ash's friendship truly ended.
A few months later as a high-schooler Ash had almost completely forgotten about Gary. Ash worked hard on his studies to get into a high quality college and find success. But since he lived in his hometown still, there was a decent chance to run into Gary again. He just ever expected it to go the way it did.
Ash was walking around the neighborhood before he heard voices in an alleyway he was headed to. The smart thing would be to walk away and never look back. But something told Ash to witness this.
He looked in the alley and gasped as he saw Gary with two strange men.
"Alright kid where's the dope?" The man asked as Gary reached in his bag and pulled out a small baggie and tossed it to the man. The man inspected it and nodded but the other guy snatched it and glared at Gary,
"Hey shitty brat! I dropped two bands on this? Where's the rest?!" He cried as Gary shrugged. "You ain't pay." The man then threw the baggie on the ground and stomped it out. "Listen here you little punk shit! I will beat your ass into the pavement if you don't gimme my supply!" He shouted.
"Yo relax dog. It's just a kid." His friend said as the man shoved him away and pushed Gary before reaching into his pants and pulling out a gun.
"Run me my shit before I kill yo ass!" He cried as Gary backed up. Ash then realized this was no normal man. This was a complete addict and he was in dire need of supply. "C'mon man! Don't do nothing you'll regret!" His friend cried again as Gary put his hands up.
"Yo relax… I can't-" Gary was cut off by a gunshot. He staggered before slumping to the ground as his blood pooled around him. Ash's eyes widened as he jumped out.
"Hey!" He cried as the two men jumped as they saw him. Ash was being stupid and he knew it but he was running on anger as his best friend was killed before his very eyes.
"Shit! Another kid?!" The man cried as the one with a gun turned it towards Ash. But for some reason Ash had no fear as he walked forward.
"Stop right there dumbass!" The man cried as Ash kept going. The man's hands shook as Ash got within 5 meters and he blasted the gun.
The bullet was instantly deflected into a wall as the man gasped. "Wha-what the heeeeeellll?!" The man cried as he didn't see what happened but Ash did. His stand stood in front of him protectively.
"H-how did he…" The other man said as the gun was ripped out of his friend's hands and tossed away.
The two looked panicked as Ash walked towards them menacingly. Out of nowhere the gunman was knocked aside seemingly by a powerful punch. His head connected with the wall and he was knocked out instantly as the other man tried to run but was still in the 5 meter range and got hit in the back of his head and knocked down and once again his head connected painfully and he was knocked out.
Ash ran to Gary and tried to use CPR but failed as Gary had long since been dead. It was because of this that Ash realized the true horrors of the world and became fully able to use his stand ability.
Ash shook her head from the rooftop as she remembered everything. Her stand ability was to generate and use energy. But what it did back there was something new. It never absorbed anything… just generated it.
Ash didn't have much time to think further as the door to the roof was blown open through the lock as Kiawe walked in as Ash continued to hide behind the fan.
"I know you're here! This is the only location you could be hiding in the time I was down." He said as Ash grit her teeth.
She then came out of hiding as Kiawe turned around. "So this is it huh? Our final showdown." He said confidently as Ash glared. "Guess so… I'll have you know… I have no intention of dying here." She said as Kiawe closed his eyes.
"Too bad. That's what's gonna happen anyway!" He cried as Turtonator shot a blast of fire at Ash and she stood perfectly still as she summoned her stand.
The fire once again swirled around and into the stand's palm as Kiawe grunted. Ash then rushed forward and her stand started to swing wildly at Turtonator as Kiawe tensed.
The stands met in a clash as their fists couldn't overpower each other. Kiawe then smirked and Turtonator started to breathe in.
"I see that your stand absorbs energy. Stands use energy for their attacks so that means you can absorb it. But at the same time…" He trailed off as Ash seemed confused.
"... you won't be able to absorb it if your hands are tied." He finished as Ash gasped. "Wait, pull away!" She cried but it was too late and the fire came out.
Ash's stand was barely able to dodge the fire and Ash felt the heat as she stumbled back and her stand dissipated.
Ash fell off the roof as Kiawe sighed. "One of the toughest stand users yet. Surprised he was only a newly born user." He said.
He then heard a loud smash. "That sounded like a piano crashing… wait!" He cried as he ran forward and looked down to see Ash had landed fine, seemingly having used her stand's legs to land without pain.
Kiawe then jumped down and did the same thing and immediately started to spew fire at Ash as the girl dodged out of the way.
"Crap! Didn't think the psycho would try to catch me!" She thought as she looked around before finding something perfect for the situation.
Ash once again used her stand's legs to jump away from Kiawe and near the car he was standing next to him and smirked.
"Oh? Entering my range even further?" He said cockily as He fired at Ash as she used her stad's legs once more and jumped out of the way as Turtonator's blast hit the car's gas tank.
The car exploded and Kiawe cried out as he flew back and slammed into a wall, bleeding profusely.
Kiawe looked up at Ash as he laughed slowly. "Looks like I've been defeated." Kiawe said as Ash looked at him.
"So you're gonna finish me off?" He asked as Ash tilted her head to the side. "What do you mean…? You think I'm gonna kill you?" She asked as Kiawe seemed equally confused. "Yes? You are with the rival school are you not?" He asked as Ash shook her head. "My old school closed down so I changed schools." She said as Kiawe's eyes went wide before he started laughing.
"I can't believe it. Every stand user in this school gained one after meeting me but you managed to have one already." Kiawe said as Ash jumped. "T-there are more stand users?!" She cried as Kiawe looked at her.
"Don't worry. Now that you aren't a threat it won't be a problem." He said as Ash nodded. She then looked down at him before looking at his face.
"So… want any help…?" She asked as Kiawe closed his eyes with a smile. 'I have someone who can patch me up. Just take me to the student council room." Kiawe said.
Ash nodded and picked him up with her stand and wrapped him around her shoulder and started walking him to the room and praying to every god that no one noticed what the hell had just gone down. And even more that no one noticed she was dragging a bleeding boy to a room.
"Hey that stand of yours… what's it called?" He asked as Ash thought it over before deciding on a name.
"My stand's name… is Pikachu." Ash said as Kiawe nodded.
Alright I've already said this in the latest chapter of the original "Pokestand Users" but I made this because I wasn't a fan of the previous one. While this chapter is almost an exact copy of the first chapter of Pokestand Users, I had no problems with this one; it was the next chapter that really made me want to change the story. As usual I hope you enjoyed and R/R and have a good one! BYEEEEEEEEEE
