Julianna watched in amazement as Tulio became enveloped in light.
He's wings grew more arm-like, his legs became longer, the pompadour on his head turned into a crown-like headdress and his tail sprouted beautiful peacock plumage.
The light was so strong that it pushed Annihilape and Dachsbun back.
When the light disappeared Tulio was standing as a Quaquaval.
"So you think that you're ugly duckling's little swan song is gonna help you?" Ortega remarked.
He was pulled aside by Eri as Quaquaval swiped at him with fluid dance moves.
Eri's Annihilape was suddenly struck by a stray Psycho Cut.
"If you want to fight, make it a two-on-two!" Rinto shouted well Gallade charged forward with another Psyco Cut sliding under another Rage Fist.
"Okay this just got interesting" Ortega commented
"Anyways Dachsbun use Trailblaze!"
"Aqua Step!" Quaquaval and Dachsbun kept up with each other in a series of Rapid Strikes as they boosted their speed.
"Body Press!"
Dachsbun leapt into the air slamming its body into Quaquaval.
"Low Sweep!" by sweeping Dachsbun's feet it made it slightly slower than Tulio allowing him to outspeed.
"Aqua Step again!" Quaquaval sent it flying back to Ortega with another Aqua-Step.
Behind him, Annihilape was sent flying to the ground and fainted from a Psyco Cut from Rinto's Gallade.
Well, Dachsbun was still able to battle a two-on-one wasn't going to go in Ortega's favor.
"Hmmm you two seem to be forgetting something" Ortega whistled and the Starmobile burst through the gym doors performing a u-turn as Ortega and Eri jumped on.
"Oh no you don't you're paying for what you did" Julianna yelled trying to chase after the Starmobile speeding through the school field.
"I didn't want to do this but Iron Leaves go!" Rinto shouted throwing a strange robotic Virizion that began galloping after the Starmobile.
"Use Leaf Blade!" Iron Leaves sliced at the Starmobile causing it to go tumbling into the trees at the edge of the academy property.
"Were are they?" Cherry asked as they looked through the overturned vehicle the Revavroom powering it gone.
The sound of another Motor got their attention.
Another Starmobile this one outfitted in orange instead of pink was speeding away.
Miguel kept thrashing as the blue light enveloped him.
His legs jutted out to his sides, growing so much in bulk that he fell on all fours. His snout elongated and the nest of flames atop his head began to crack. It began to spread its wings turning into a small bird that fluttered down onto his head.
After a loud bellow, Miguel stared down Cloyster and Scovillian as a Skeledirge.
"Use Chilling Water!" Skeledirge tanked through the Chilling Water and Florian was ready to try out the move he would have learned upon evolution.
"Use Torch Song!" The bird on his head jumped in front of his mouth, Skeledirge reared on his hind legs letting out an intense mournful song the bird transformed into a raging flame that Skeledirge blew at Cloyster.
When the flames stopped Cloyster lay fried on the ground.
"Scovillian use Crunch!"
"Use Torch Song again!"
Scovillian ran at Skeledirge with glowing black teeth but never got the chance as it was incinerated by the boosted Torch Song.
Florian knew he had to act fast Arven had a Naclstack, Greedent, and Toedscruel that could gang up on Skeledirge and Dolliv.
"Torch Song again!" Miguel responded with a husky throat rumble shaking his head side to side.
"Do it!" Florian screeched.
Reluctantly Skeledirge went for Torch Song although he purposely aimed for the wall.
"What the fuck! Florian, you're fucking sick! Your sick in the fucking head!" Arven screeched as he ran from the rapidly spreading flames.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Florian yelled as the flames began spreading on that side of the building Dolliv was panicking well Skeledirge watched on in horror at the fire he had started.
"Move it before someone sees us" Florian put his Team away and then left the scene.
The sound of an approaching car got his attention.
"You hope on!" Eri shouted pulling him onto the Starmobile.
"Are you a strong battler?"
"Yes," Florian lied.
"Good because we got to stop that thing"
A metallic shriek erupted from behind the vehicle as the robotic Virizion came running after them.
"Dammit, why do I have to keep lying all the fucking time" Florian cursed himself.
There was no way in hell he could beat that thing and now he was on a car speeding through the academy lawn with the admins of Team Star.
Now it was starting to settle in how deep a hole he had dug for himself.
"Hey, dumbass do something!" Ortega shouted
"Ya, ya go use Torch Song! And Razor Leaf!" Florian tossed out Skeledirge and Dollive and the pair sent their attacks flying at Iron Leaves.
But both were easily countered by a Psyblade from Iron Leaves.
With a Wild Charge, Iron Leaves got up to the Starmobile and ran alongside them.
"Have you're mon use a fire move on Dachsbun" Ortega ordered.
Upon using Torch Song on Dachsbun its Well-Baked Body activated absorbing the fire to boost its defense.
"Use Play Rouge" with its boosted defense allowed it to take the Leaf Blade from Iron Leaves and hold it in place with Play Rough.
Ortega returned Dachsbun to his Pokeball with Iron Leaves a safe distance behind them.
They would have been safe if it weren't for the stray Glaceon and Jolteon attacking the Starmobile with Ice Beam and Thunderbolt.
The Starmobile was sent rolling against the electrical ice and spun onto its side, sending Florian tumbling off and slamming his back into the school wall.
The Starmobile didn't stop sliding crashing into the building and landing in the middle of the volleyball court.
Skeledire landed safely on his back catching a passed-out Dolliv in between his teeth.
"Florian, what are you doing here?" Oort asked running up to him.
"What are you to doing here is the more important question"
"Nobody knows what the fuck's going on we haven't heard from the bosses since this entire trainwreck started"
Florian was suddenly tackled to the ground by Arven.
"More importantly what the fuck are you doing here!" Arven screeched "Being part of Team Star you good dam son of a bitch!"
"Why the fuck does it matter to you you hardly know me!" Florian screamed back trying to kick the larger boy in his chest.
Florian felt his feet go numb as Penny's Glaceon froze him in place with Ice Beam.
"Well, why don't you tell us yourself" Arven stepped out of the way to face Penny and Julianna.
And by god, if looks could kill the look on Julianna's face could turn him into ash.
Julianna's apparently newly evolved Quaquaval began walking toward him with a murderous look Skeledirge stepped in the way staring down his fellow starter.
Before that obvious match-up could get ugly a Stone Edge cut through the Volleyball Court.
"Everybody calm the fuck down right this second!" Nemona yelled Lycanroc at her side.
Everybody froze at the sight of Nemona marching into the gym.
"Alright now that everybody calmed down let's go sit in the office and discuss what happened now I'm going to go put out the fires you guys started both figuratively and literally and make sure nobody died because of you're stupidity got that!"
"Yes" everybody meekly replied.
"Now everybody put your mons away and move it!"
Needless to say, sitting in the office with everyone created a very thick atmosphere.
Klavell and the other teachers were going through the non-Team Star students first since they could be sent home without any write-ups.
"So Florian mind telling me what the fuck this was!" Julianna asked.
"Yes I'm a part of Team Star deal with it"
"Deal with it are you fucking kidding me I've been fighting them. I've nearly been burnt run over and beaten up and that's all you have to say about it Deal with it!"
"You have no idea what it's about!" Florian yelled back catching a death glare from Nashi from where he was sitting next to Cherry.
"Then what is it about?"
Florian honestly didn't have a reply to that it was the first time he had thought about why he had actually joined Team Star.
"So it's like that then! tell me Florian what is it then Florian? what is it!"
It was us who suggested for him to join originally" Oort replied from the other side of the room.
"Oh so is that it? Are you really that much of a fucking pushover that you just say yes to somebody when they ask you something is that the kind of person I'm friends with huh?"
"What if I am? I haven't done anything else before at least I'm finally doing something instead of just sitting around all day Is that what you want from me huh? To sit around being a loser?"
Julianna was called into the office leaving Florian to sit there with his thoughts well she was let home for the rest of the day.
"So I take that you're not in Team Star anymore?"
"No!" Florian snapped back.
"Good because neither are we"
It turned out Florian's declaration helped him when he got to the principal's office since he had no previous record and the only proper fights he got into were against Arven who started it and against Rinto's unregistered paradox Pokémon he was let off very easy compared to Oort and Kuiper only getting an in-school suspension.
So after getting a stern talking to from his parents, he was left to think in his room. Was there really a reason that he had done the things he had done? If he really boiled it down he didn't really have a reason beyond it was better than doing nothing.
Florian let out his team carefully inside his room.
"Hey, hey be careful" Florian whispered getting his team's attention.
"I know that I've been a fucking awful trainer for you guys you've barely gotten any proper training and I don't blame any of you if you have some… doubts about my abilities as a trainer" Florian was looking at Tauros when he said that even if he wasn't looking back.
"So I need to make some changes for you all to succeed"
"So first Miguel as my starter I want you to be our team captain and Salada I want you to be our vice-captain"
"And second we need to do some actual proper training, even if we're contest battlers we still need to be physically strong if we want to succeed got that?"
Everybody nodded except for Tauros but the lack of snorting and grunting Florian decided to take as a positive sign"
"Alright now all of you go and get some rest" Florian returned his team to their Pokeballs and went back to thinking about more important things like how to make up the colossal fuck up he caused for his friends.
"Oh god, I fucked up didn't I?" Julianna asked.
"Grrarrr!" Koraidon rubbed his head up against Julianna's hand knowing something was wrong.
Julianna sat up on her bed looking at her teams Pokeballs letting them get a very well-deserved rest.
"Julianna can I come in?" her mother asked.
"Sure"
"I really think you should go to sleep you've had a long day and I heard from your friend Nemona that you haven't been getting enough sleep"
"Ok mom"
"Alright, then night Julianna we can talk about this more in the morning"
Julianna still felt like she couldn't sleep it felt wrong to not think about what happened. How many people had gotten hurt? The pain and confusion that her fellow students had to deal with she should… be helping them… right.. Being on their own… wasn't… good… they needed… help…
That was the last thing Julianna thought before falling asleep.
