I don't own Pokémon or Assassination Classroom I only own my OCs, I get information about Pokémon and moves not only from the games, but also from Wikidex, so I appreciate the information.

Kunugigaoka Junior High School
After finishing classes, all the students stayed in the classroom to continue listening to the story that their classmate Fuwa talked about Akihito's distrust and fear of people his age.
"Okay, I'll continue telling you the reason why Akihito doesn't trust people our age". Fuwa told her classmates who were around her in the classroom, "To be honest, I found out once when I came to visit his house because he was sick that day. Then her mother told me what had happened to her that made her distrust, although she later found out because I told her, but luckily, he didn't get angry with me". She continued to comment on that, while petting his Bulbasaur, "It all started 9 years ago when at that time he and his family lived in Kyoto so at that time I still didn't know him". She said as he started counting.
Flashback
Kyoto, Japan 9 years ago
It was a warm morning in Kyoto, the boy Akihito was watching the news with his father by his side, while his mother was washing the dishes, everything was silent until they heard a boy shout his name.
"Akihito are you ready to play with us in the park?". A little boy said to Akihito when he saw his friend through the window who was next to his other two friends, the father of one of the children was next to him, taking care of them.
"And do you think you could bring your soccer ball, please? So, we can play soccer." His other friend told him to have a ball for everyone to play with.
"Yes, I'm coming right now!". Akihito told his friends as he quickly ran to his room to get his soccer ball, as he returned to the living room to go directly in front of the door while putting on his sneakers and his cap, "I'll be right back. Now I'm going to go play with my friends." He said smiling as he finished putting on his sneakers to go out.
"Be careful champ". His father told his son to be careful, while he saw on television that it was reported that very heavy rains would come in two weeks.
"Don't be late, dear". His mother said with a smile to her son.
"I won't mom, see you around". He told his parents as he left his house and joined his friends, "Ready, let's go to the usual park." He said with a smile as they headed to the park.
"Of course, Akihito. I've already improved my ball techniques". One of his friends said, while moving his arms excitedly.
"Yeah, right, last time you said the same thing and tripped several times". His other friend said mockingly.
"I swear it's true!". He comically said to his friend making the others, including Akihito, laugh at that moment.
"Akihito, if you ever wanted to reincarnate a Pokémon, which one would you be?". One of his friends asked which Akihito thought about briefly.
"I guess Blastoise, since then I can shoot cannons at my rivals". Akihito said laughing as his friends laughed too.
At that time Akihito had friends he trusted, even in kindergarten he got along very well with his classmates since he was an open and kind person, he even once considered his friends as his brothers because he was an only child, everything seemed normal, but it wouldn't be long until that trust began to close.
2 weeks later, Sakyo district
It was a rainy day on a weekend, Akihito and his mother were shopping for food products and cleaning supplies for the house since his father was working, but it wouldn't be long before he returned home. They were both just leaving the market when it started to rain a little harder which was not supposed to rain all day that day.
"Damn, I thought it wasn't going to rain anymore". His mother said as she took the umbrella out of her bag and covered her son.
Then they began to walk towards the subway so they could take the train that would take them directly to their house.
"Mom, do you think Pikachu and the other Pokémon will like this toy?". The child in his raincoat said as he took out an electrically designed ball for Pikachu and his father's Pokémon to have fun playing with.
"Of course, I'm sure your father's Pokémon will love that gift". She said with his warm smile to his son.
As they continued walking, several ambulances were heard approaching the subway they were heading to.
"I hope something serious hasn't happened". His mother said a little worried.
"I just hope it doesn't take us too long to get to the subway". The child said as they continued walking.
Akihito and his mother were almost at the subway, but at that moment they saw that there was a big car accident, and some ambulances were helping to transport and treat some injured people.
"I didn't know it well, but someone accidentally crashed a car and caused more accidents". One of the injured men told the paramedic as his injured arm was being bandaged.
"Akihito, we better get going". His mother told her son not to see that by making them both walk, but when they walked a little, they were shocked, "It can't be". She said, all stunned, since they saw that among those involved was her father's car, which was a victim of the car accident.
"Dad". Akihito said, all stunned until he started running to see if his father was okay.
"AKIHITO WAIT!". She yelled at her son in concern, but she couldn't stop him in time.
"DAD!". He shouted worriedly to see if his father was okay, but when he got to the car what he saw was his father with a lot of blood on his face that reached down to his arms. The boy was left speechless by the shock of his bloody body and then one of the paramedics went to take his pulse.
"I can't feel his pulse anymore, he lost a lot of blood". The paramedic said that when he checked his body, the child stood there frozen.
'It's a nightmare. It can't be real'. Akihito began struggling to breathe, while the paramedic took his father's pulse.
"We couldn't save him in time, he's dead". These last words completely overwhelmed Akihito who began to struggle to breathe more.
"Akihito!". His mother screamed and reached for him, but when she was there, she saw the body of her husband, "Hayate". Tears began to appear in her eyes.
"Hey, you can't be here". The paramedic told them, but the child couldn't take it anymore and didn't hesitate to scream.
"AAAAHHHH!". The child screamed and proceeded to faint.
"AKIHITO!". His mother screamed as tears ran down her face.
And what Akihito saw would leave him with trauma and the consequences that would follow from that moment on.
2 weeks later
2 weeks passed since his father's death, and his funeral was held the following week, leaving both mother and son with deep sadness. The driver responsible for the accident fled, the strange thing that happened there was that all his Pokémon including his Pikachu disappeared, some believe that the person responsible stole his Pokémon, although this fact was never confirmed.
Akihito still felt very sad, but he decided to go to the garden so he could be with his friends since they were probably worried about him.
'I'm sure they're very worried because I didn't go to school for a few weeks'. Akihito thought sadly, 'Because that had to happen'. He became sad when he remembered his father.
Once he arrived at the classroom, he was greeted by a bucket full of water, "Ahhh!". The child screamed and when he opened his eyes, he saw how all his classmates and those who were supposed to be his friends were making fun of him.
"Welcome back to class freaky". One of his friends said mockingly.
"I hope you don't cause another death in our presence". A classmate also said mockingly.
"What are you talking about?". He said all intrigued.
"Don't play dumb, you were there and caused that accident". Said one of his friends.
"Yes, and to avoid that we will defend ourselves before you". Another classmate said while throwing paper balls at him and later his classmates also threw things at him.
"Stop it please, why are you doing this to me?". Akihito said, his voice light from the sudden change, "They're supposed to be my friends, why would they do something like that to me?". He said to have one of his so-called friends approach him.
"Friend, ha, that was before we knew why you're going to start causing accidents, so no one wants to be your friend now". He said as he pushed him to the ground, "You should be a dead freakier". He said darkly with a smile on his face. And so, Akihito began to be a victim of abuse in the garden.
From that moment on, several things happened, such as they threw his backpack into a river, they took the things he was carrying, they beat him after school, and they wrote ugly things about him in his notebook. This lasted almost a whole month. One day, Akihito returned angry and quickly ran to his room and started crying loudly.
"Son, are you okay!?". His mother spoke to him very worried, since she knew that her son was being harassed by his classmates. He once complained to the garden about that problem, but supposedly the children's parents had a complaint about Akihito since he was supposedly the one who had been bothering them since their father's accident saying that he threatened to kill them when it was clearly a lie from those naughty, but because of the majority of the parents, the principal gave his son an ultimatum to expel him if he did not behave better.
"GO AWAY MOM!". He yelled at his mother.
"But what happened? They bothered you again!?". She told her son, all worried.
"I HATE YOU ALL! I HOPE THEY DIE!". Akihito shouted leaving the mother speechless at what he was saying, "I DON'T WANT TO MAKE FRIENDS ANYMORE! I DON'T WANT TO BE HURT AGAIN! I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! I WISH MY DAD HAD NEVER DIED!". He screamed as he cried loudly, making his mother cry lightly about how her son was bullied and had to endure all this pain.
Flashback end
Back in class, Fuwa finished telling her classmates.
"Before the accident happened, her mother was offered the offer to work here in Tokyo, which she initially denied, but after what happened she had to accept, and they decided to move here because she knew there was no way to fix that. But since that problem, Nakayama decided not to socialize with people his age until I arrived". Fuwa said sadly with his head lowered.
Everyone in the classroom was speechless and felt sadness at how this young man was a victim of abuse at an early age and some were upset at how the children where he lived made fun of him for saying that he was the cause of his son's death his father.
'It can't be, that happened to him too'. Isogai thought sadly as he too lost his father in a car accident, although he did not see his father die in front of his eyes.
'A boy our age saw his father die in front of his eyes and was abused as a child. Now I understand that distrust he has, and I can't blame him'. Nagisa thought sadly.
Some classmates were already going to say something until Fuwa continued speaking.
"But this would happen again a few years later." She said with a gloomy look still with his head bowed.
"How? Did it happen again?" Yada asked her fellow all worried.
"Unfortunately, yes". Fuwa said as her classmates turned their attention to her, "This happened 4 years ago, we were both classmates from second to fourth grade, but it wasn't until fifth grade that we were separated into different classrooms. Once he advised Nakayama on how he tried to make new friends, which at first, he was a little hesitant until he agreed to try if he could socialize with me". She said, still sad, "He was able to socialize and have some so-called friends who talked calmly and seemed to enjoy it, but...". She stood there unable to say another word.
"What happened?". Karma said with a seriousness rarely seen in him.
At that moment Fuwa began to remember what happened that time since she was there to witness that act.
Flashback
4 years ago
It was the end of class at the elementary school Akihito and Fuwa attended.
At that moment in the classroom where Akihito was.
"Okay, we're leaving now, are you sure you don't want to come with us Nakayama?". His fellow asked Akihito.
"Sorry, I already planned to go with someone else. Besides, I must clean the room since it was my turn to clean it today". Akihito said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll see you on Monday". His fellow told him with a smile as they left the room.
"Sure, see you". He said goodbye to his friends.
While Akihito was cleaning the classroom, his friend Fuwa was walking through the hallways waiting for her friend to come out so they could leave together, but she saw her friends on the stairs of the school.
'They are friends of Nakayama. I'll ask them if they've left the room yet'. She was going to ask them, but before he could ask the question, he started to hear what the two of them were talking about.
"I can't believe we still have to put up with that weirdo". His fellow said in an annoyed tone to his friend.
"I know it's true, he talks about being a Pokémon trainer, but that would only ruin his future". He replied while yawning, "You know what a loser his father was, he was a Pokémon trainer and look how he ended up dead because of his stupidity". He said mockingly and her friend laughed at the same thing to which Fuwa was left speechless by what she was hearing.
"He's right, he inherited his idiocy, so when he starts to fail, we'll make fun of him". Her friend told her with a malicious smile.
"You're right, so we have to put up with him a little longer and even one day we could humiliate him in front of the whole school, it would certainly be a historic moment for this school". His friend said cheekily.
"You're right hahaha. Now I understand why no one wanted him where he lived before". She laughed shamelessly.
"Yes, and maybe I'm planning to make false gossip to better humiliate him". Both students were making fun of Akihito.
Fuwa saw how they were making fun of him, and his father began to get quite angry when he saw his so-called friends making fun of him behind his back, to which he raised his voice and decided to confront them.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING!?". She shouted rudely, but fairly, towards the classmates who were making fun of him. They both looked up, "You're nothing more than trash playing with their feelings". She told those classmates, but it seemed like she wasn't paying attention to them and they weren't even looking at her but instead looked at someone higher up to which she proceeded to turn around to be left speechless when she saw her friend there who apparently heard the entire talk while remaining frozen and shaking, at that moment Akihito decided to run towards the exit, "WAIT NAKAYAMA!". She yelled at his friend who fled the scene, he felt sad and before trying to reach him he turned once again to see his classmates, "This is not going to stay like this, you are the worst." She said all angry and disgusted as she left the place to reach her friend.
Akihito was leaving school to go home.
'They are all liars'. He thought angrily.
At that Fuwa managed to catch up and stopped in front of him while Akihito had his head down.
"Wait Nakayama, don't pay attention to them, I promise that I will talk to the professor about what happened there, so please calm down and let's go quietly towards my house, I just bought the new volume of Bleach and-". She said to his best friend while reading it was trying to calm him down until he interrupted him.
"Go away". He said quietly, but with an annoyed tone.
"What?". She asked worried about her friend.
"I SAID GO AWAY, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE!". He yelled loudly at Fuwa making her jump a little scared by her friend's unexpected scream.
"What are you talking about? Why do you say those things?". She said all worried about her friend.
"Don't play dumb, we're all the same, no one wants to be my friend, they just want to use me to be a laughingstock and hurt me all the time!". He said all angry.
"I know you're mad about it and I agree with you on that crap, but you know I'm not like them, I've always been rooting for you". Fuwa tried to calm him down, but to no avail and he started yelling at him angrily.
"SHUT UP LIAR, YOU ARE NOT MY FRIEND, YOU ARE LIKE THE REST! YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE FUN OF ME BEHIND MY BACK! I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! I WISH WE HAD NEVER MET!". He screamed at the top of his lungs at Fuwa as he began to run without turning to look. Fuwa was speechless at how he said that to her and would soon start crying.
"You're a stupid Nakayama". She said quietly as she stood there crying about how her friend was hurt again and attacked her, she had never seen her friend like that.
Several days had passed since that day, Akihito had not returned to school since then. The teacher found out what happened to Akihito and decided to temporarily expel the classmates who deceived him for that horrible attitude since they would not tolerate that type of attitude at school, but even so he did not want to return.
Fuwa, for her part, as a good friend, has tried to talk to him because Akihito's mother let her in to try to convince her son to go back to school, but they have not been successful, she began to bring him the homework that she It was at his house, every time I could I tried to talk to him from the door of his room, although without success.
One day, after several attempts, Fuwa visited his house to leave her homework on the table but knowing that this was never going to happen to her, she decided to talk to him one more time, while knocking on the door of his room.
"Nakayama is me, I want to tell you something, but please give me an answer and I assure you that this will be the last time I will go to your house and if you no longer want to know anything about me, I promise you that I'll leave you alone". Fuwa said sadly as she sat with her back to the door of her room. "I know you've been hurt a lot and I'm sorry if I couldn't help you last time to avoid that, I'm partly to blame for insisting you make new friends, and I didn't expect them to be horrible people too". She commented to Akihito making him raise his head while sitting on his bed, "But I really consider you my best friend and I swear I'm not lying to you. I've really had a good time with your talking, reading manga and playing games, and I'm sure you had a good time with me too when you were having fun with me". She said that as Akihito opened his eyes a little wider. Then she started crying and covered her knees, "But after everything that happened between us, for you it was a farce, everything we experienced didn't really matter to you. YOU NEVER WANTED TO BE MY TRUE FRIEND! PLEASE ANSWER NAKAYAMA!" She said as he began to scream and cry loudly.
Akihito, upon hearing all this, began to cry lightly as he remembered how she wanted to be his friend and they both began to support each other as true friends would. He knew that she was not a liar, on the contrary she was a kind, very enthusiastic and imaginative person who sometimes seemed a little strange because of her exaggerations, but that did not bother him much since he liked her passion like he has for being a Pokémon trainer.
'What did I do?'. As he dried his eyes and thought about all that, he realized that he had been rude to her, he was just taking it out on her for the problems of his classmates who pretended to be his friends when it was not her fault, and she was trying to help him. To him, Fuwa was a true friend who would always support him, and he had to do the same for her.
He started walking to open the door to see Fuwa sitting on the floor when she started to get up and looked at him with tears in her eyes, he really felt guilty about how she was hurt because of him.
"I'm sorry Fuwa, you really are my best friend. All the fun we had together was real, being by your side was the best thing that ever happened to me after coming here to Tokyo". Saying that, Fuwa was surprised by his honest words, "You are undoubtedly a kind person and I want to be by your side supporting you as you do me. I know you would never hurt me". Akihito said sadly, but sincerely, to which Fuwa began to cry again.
"You're a stupid Nakayama, you know I would never hurt you, stupid, stupid, stupid". Fuwa said as she lightly hit her chest and started crying loudly again to which Akihito hugged her and rubbed her back to calm her down. While she continued to cry, Akihito also began to cry for saying those false and rude words to his friend.
"I'm really sorry, Fuwa, I really was a stupid. I shouldn't have been rude to you, but I swear I'll never hurt you again". He said crying, leaving both children holding each other as they cried.
Flashback end
Back in class, Fuwa finished telling them the story.
"Since then, Nakayama feels very sorry for that, of course he compensates me by inviting me to eat, but even so he continues to feel guilty about it and that he does not deserve my forgiveness". Fuwa said sadly as she remembered that moment, making her teammates Ritsu and Hara rub her back to calm her down, "Well, after what happened he returned to class and in the last year of classes we were together again in the same school and the truth is he felt a little calmer being with me, but he decided to ignore the other students since that incident and did not wanted to try it again". She remembered when Akihito quickly left the classroom.
"This caused him to skip certain team activities and trips and he didn't care if it lowered his grades, he didn't want to take the risk of being with people who were false to him". Fuwa said sadly, "That's why nowadays he doesn't want to socialize with people our age, he doesn't want them to hurt him again". She told his fellows who were speechless and felt sorry for Akihito, at which point Nakamura spoke up and asked his fellow.
"Hey Fuwa, from what you told us before, Nakayama is a kind person, but he doesn't pay attention to people our age because of the abuse they did to him before. That's why he didn't want to enter this school, because he knew how we they discriminated, and I couldn't tolerate that". She told his fellow worriedly. Although Nakamura liked to tease and joke with his fellows, deep down he always cared about them.
"Yes. When I told Nakayama that I was going to Kunugigaoka Junior High School, he wanted to go here too. He even took the entrance exam to which he was able to enter, but before that he had investigated the school's protocols and the discrimination of some former students in the class E, which many parents ignore since it is a privileged school with good grades and out of fear he decided to study at home since he started high school and did not want to go to another school. Both his mother and I insisted that nothing bad was going to happen there, but he refused so we had to respect his decision". Fuwa responded to her fellow while still having her head down, "And I don't blame him, I fell because of my carelessness and my manga club classmates started ignoring me. There I knew in that moment what it felt like to be betrayed". She said sadly making several fellows think the same since they were all betrayed by their classmates and teachers from the other classes.
"That's why he ignored Isogai and Kataoka earlier". Kurahashi said sadly.
"And that's why he pretends or ignores people our age". Maehara said.
'I guess he's not an idiot after all'. Karma thought.
"Fuwa, you don't mind if he joins us in class". Kayano asked his fellow.
"Of course not, I would love for him to go back to school but knowing him I would still reject this". She said sadly, "But thanks to you and our teachers I now have people I can trust. Even if Nakayama doesn't want to listen to them, I want to do my best to get him to know everyone well and join us. I would love for you to become friends and support each other". Fuwa said happily as she imagined how her friend interacted with her fellows, "His mother still has the papers to admit him to this school. And maybe Professor Yukimura will do something to get him to accept it and stay in class E". She said with a smile on his face making everyone smile the same.
"It's not bad to have another classmate in our class". Kataoka said with a smile.
"Not at all, it would be better for him to help us with the Pokémon trainer thing if he started earlier and Professor Yukimura would be happy". Isogai said with a smile.
"You're right, even if we have some idiots like Terasaka, we support each other". Karma said calmly, although Terasaka was a little upset at being called an idiot, he decided not to play along.
"And if someone hurts you again, we will be there to help you". Terasaka said confidently as everyone started talking to help him.
"It's clear, our mission will be to train Nakayama to join us in class E". Kayano said with a smile as everyone supported that. Fuwa gave a smile to her fellows who were supporting her friend, not for nothing did she like being in this class with real friends.
"Thank you so many guys". Fuwa thanked them with a smile.
"By the way Fuwa, do you have a plan so we can meet him?". Kayano asked his fellow. Fuwa thought for a moment until she remembered something.
"I have something in mind. Let me call Nakayama outside and I'll tell you the plan right now, believe me, I know what I'm going to do". She told his fellows to which they all nodded and soon he would quickly leave the room along with his Bulbasaur to mark it.
Lodging Minato Zone
Akihito had arrived at the place and had to heal his Pokémon companions, they arrived at a lodging, and he was about to play a movie until his phone started ringing.
"Oh, it's Fuwa". Akihito said a little surprised as he answered his phone, "Hey Fuwa, how was class?". He told her friend that she was talking on the phone.
"No, thanks to you! What were you thinking when you walked into the room out of nowhere and greeted me!?". She scolds his friend for what happened earlier at school, making Akihito begin to feel sorry for not having thought things through before, "And on top of that, the class representatives and my fellows were ignorant, at least you should have had some education. Damn, several of them even asked me about you and wouldn't leave me alone". She continued to scold him, making Akihito put his hand behind his neck feeling embarrassed.
"I'm sorry about that Fuwa, I swear I didn't mean to come in like that, but you know Oshawott came into the room without permission". He said sincerely and sorry for that, "Also, I didn't mean to be rude to your classmates, but you know I can't talk to them". He said a little depressed about that.
"I know, but at least you would have been a little more polite so they wouldn't think you were a bad person". She briefly told his friend what he thought as if those people were the ones who hurt him, "Well, changing the subject, I wanted to ask you if you already went to fight with Gym Leader Red Eye". She asked his friend revealing the name of the leader of that gym.
"Not really, we had… some small problems, but tomorrow around twelve I'm going to confront the gym leader". He told his friend, cutting off the Team Shiro part as he didn't want to worry her right now and would tell her later.
"Great, do you think I can come see you tomorrow to watch your first match against the Gym Leader?". She commented excitedly to her friend on the phone.
"But don't you have class at that time?" Akihito said a little confused.
"Don't worry, I will ask my parents and teachers for permission to be absent this time, at least I want to support my best friend". Fuwa said with a happy laugh to which Akihito smiled with a slight blush as he saw how his friend would be there to support him in his battle.
"Sure, that's fine with me. See you tomorrow Fuwa, take care of yourself". He told her friend on the phone.
"Also, I'll see you tomorrow, Nakayama, bye". She said goodbye happily as he hung up his phone.
Once the call was over, Akihito went to bed smiling as he saw that his best friend would be there to support him.
'I will do my best to prove to Fuwa that I am ready to become a Pokémon master'. He thought happily as he grabbed the remote to play a movie.
Class 3-E
Once Fuwa returned to the classroom, she told her fellows her plan.
"Alright friends, I already called Nakayama and he told me that tomorrow he will go against the gym leader there in the Minato Zone at twelve. So, my plan is for us all to go watch his combat, so that you can give him your support so that we gain a little trust with you and when he finishes, we approach him to try to talk to him and convince him that you are trustworthy people and that he can join the class". She commented on his idea, which everyone supported.
"It's a good idea Fuwa". Kimura said.
"It'll be easier to try to talk to him there in the gym". Muramatsu said with a smile.
"I hope this plan works, otherwise I will have to use an alternative". Okano said while throwing his fist in excitement, until the representative interrupted the small celebration.
"Wait a minute, you said he's going to the gym at twelve, but we'll be in class at that time. I don't think our teachers would cancel our classes just to watch that combat". Isogai said making everyone think about how they can get them to let them go.
"There is no problem with that, I will take care of you to supervise you. Also, I think that watching that battle will help them in their studies on the dynamics of Pokémon battles and in the training that Professor Karasuma is giving them to save the world". Said a person who was in the corner of the open door. His appearance is short dark hair, black eyes, and he wore a black and red teacher's robe with blue stripes on the shoulders, with a crescent moon-shaped tie. The students were surprised to see who it was, and it was none other than their teacher.
"You're back from your trip, Koro-sensei". Nagisa said surprised to see her teacher back.
Their teacher known as Koro-sensei has just returned from his trip and is here to support Fuwa's plan. Akihito is now prepared for his battle against Red Eye, the leader of the Shooter Gym focused on the fire type. Can he defeat him and win his first badged? Do you think the plan will work to get him to join class E and trust them? Find out soon.
-To be continued…
Author's Note
Here I bring you the new chapter having the appearance of Koro-sensei who, as I mentioned before in the prologue of this series is human, but without leaving behind his well-known personality.
I hope you like how I did Akihito's past and as you will see the gym leaders in this series will be some characters that appeared in Assassination Classroom having different roles without leaving their personalities behind.
Comment and follow this series if you want more chapters.
So, see you in the next chapter.
