Chapter 1: The Transfer Student
(The entire premise of this story is from another writer on this site who has a story I really enjoyed. It only has seven chapters and the story has been haunting me a bit because I loved the idea. To make it worse I began writing this out of excitement. With it I realized this was the perfect story to introduce... some new lore I think you all will love. As for the story, it's called Time heals all Pain by Anony01. I would appreciate it if you all would give his story a read. I love it. It only has like 6 reviews but over 20 favorites/follows but it deserves way more. Give him the love and support he deserves if you can spare the time. I love you all :D Now onto the story! Also, I have the first four chapters done already. Expect one each week.)
{Rui's Point of View}
(Gallant University - Dormitory)
Today started just like every other day, I woke up in my bed. That's a great way to start the day, by actually waking up instead of dying in my sleep. Hahahaha. My name's Rui as you can probably guess, I'm a junior in college and on my merry way to adulthood. I currently live in a dorm with my best friend Jay. He's pretty cool but the guy is pretty stupid. How he's even here is honestly quite beyond me. I think they just wanted the easy money from him. We used to have a third roommate but she graduated last month, since then we've had a vacant room. She was alright, even though she bought alcohol every once in a while and made us hide it for her. Every month there's usually an inspection of every room for either stolen goods, drugs or alcohol; all of which is against the rules on campus. Jay would sneak sips every once in a while but I kept my distance from it. The semester started last week so we may get a new roommate soon if there are any late entries. Today I didn't have class, instead I had to go to work at the school bookstore and man did I hate that job. I feel like such a jackass as these fresh students come in to buy a useless ass expensive book because they 'needed' it. What a load of shit...
Getting up from bed has to be one of the worst moments of the day and for me the grogginess takes forever to wear off. As I left my room I got the scent of coffee, the lifeblood of adulthood and college life. Jay sat at our kitchen table with a cup in one hand and several pages in the other as his eyes darted across them. I had to bite, "So... what are you doing?"
He didn't bother to look at me, "I'm doing everything I can to stay ahead this time. I'm tired of doing things last minute."
I get what he means, with there being so much on our plate we can easily fall behind by mid-semester. So he's trying to stay on point and even ahead of the class to keep afloat. Last semester he almost failed two classes. "I see... carry on then."
He took a sip of coffee, "You think the new transfer student will bunk with us?"
"Hm?" I gave him a confused glance, "New Transfer Student? First I've heard of it."
Jay put down his papers and coffee to give me his full attention, "Yeah, along with the newbies this semester, we also have a few transfers. Most are here already but I think some or the rest arrive today."
It's nice to hear this news now but one question... "How did you know about this?"
He handed me one of the papers in his hand that turned out to be the school paper, "The school paper came in this morning."
I gave him an unimpressed look, "I thought you were studying."
"Ye-..." His eyes flashed from realization, "Oh god damn it!"
I gave it back to him, "Smooth."
He slammed his forehead on the table and groaned, "I'm hopeless."
I rubbed his back and said, "Yeah, let's hope this time you're not complete shit. In fact Goth will probably show up in a few chapters."
He looked up at me confused, "Who?"
I waved it off, "Oh nothing! Time for me to make my Coffeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Jay tossed me a small bag from the cafeteria, "With MARSHMALLOWS!"
We both yelled, "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA! Hahaha!"
We started laughing at how stupid we can be. It's all in great fun, but sometimes I wish we could be roommates with Derek and Anthony as well. Unfortunately they're on the other side of the dormitory. In all honesty I love it here at this college. I remember when we were going to school back home and how... miserable every day was for me. Why? Well... it's complicated like most things in life. There are things that happen out of our control and we either live with it or choose not to accept it and suffer. For me it was the latter and it took a lot of time for me to realize it was pointless. Coming here with my friends was the best decision we made as a group. Speaking of the group, "Hey, you still up for bowling tomorrow night?"
Jay's head immediately shot up, "Hell yeah I am! I love kicking the shit out of the three stooges."
I shrugged, "I don't need to beat you guys to feel special."
Jay snickered, "Sure, keep thinking that way until you get super salty at all my wins."
I shook my head and sat down relaxing as the time began to fly by. Before I knew it, ten o'clock had swung by to say what's up meaning my shift starts in thirty minutes. Man... Adulting sucks ass. Everyone is always either so depressing, annoying, or boring. Not to mention explaining the no refunds policy almost thirty times a day. Thank Arceus I only have to work three days a week for 6 hours each. I don't make much but it's enough to squeeze on thanks to my loans. I was on my way to my job when my senior a female Cinderace ran up to me, "Hey Rui!"
I gave her a kind smile, "Cheryl! It's good to see you! How've you been?"
Cheryl giggled at my smile, "It's been great. My classes have been going well thanks to my boyfriend."
"I'm glad to hear that. Nathan always was a little weird but knows what he's doing most of the time." Nathan is an Infernape and also a Senior. He's actually one of the coolest pokemon you'll ever meet despite being a fire type hahaha. I started catching up with Cheryl until we ended up outside the punch in station. I waved her goodbye before scanning my student ID to go into the room. With a quick punch in, I was officially clocked in for work and ready to start the day. As I walked into the bookstore, I realized it was going to be an empty day and sighed in relief. That means I'll be able to relax and read stories on my phone while the store is empty. My boss keeps an eye on me and allows me to do so but sparingly. Two hours into my shift however one of the admissions representatives contacted me to assist them. This wasn't a normal occurrence but my boss told me to go and to punch out for the day. I groaned initially but changed my tune when he said I'll receive 50 dollars of cafeteria credit this quarter for assisting in the matter at hand. I made my way over to admissions and immediately noticed a Gardevoir was standing besides the rep in question.
He smiled at me, "Ah, Rui!" The Gardevoir's eyes flashed in surprise when my name was called, "Good to see you."
I smiled back at him, "I'm doing well, thank you."
He kept his smile and said, "This is one of our new transfer students. You had an open spot listed and so this gardevoir will be moving in. If it's not too much trouble, could you please show her around and how to get to the dorm. Her name is Silvia."
I felt a cold wind blow over me, "S-Silvia?"
I looked at her and noticed she looked exactly like who I think she is. She's my ex-girlfriend! She glared at me and I glared back until we were interrupted by a loud snap of the rep's fingers, "Could you show her around and to the dorm?"
My eyes moved from him then to her before nodding slightly, "I can handle it."
He patted my back, "Thank you very much, get along you two."
Once he went into the admission's office, we ended up staring each other down to the point it felt like lightning became visible. I decided to speak first, "What are you doing here?"
She turned her head, "Hmph, that's none of your business."
I decided to shake my head and turn to lead the way, "Follow me. I'll give you a tour."
The second I turned my back to her, I felt murderous intent wash over me followed by a grunt of pain. I looked back to see Silvia gripping her head. She tried to attack me when my back was turned, that's a giant red flag. When the pain subsided, she asked, "What just happened?"
I pointed at the watch she has to wear, "It's college policy to wear those watches at all times on campus. While on campus they can detect if you will try to use your powers and nullify it with an induced migraine."
She got really mad, her voice rising as she asked, "Why didn't you tell me!?"
I gave her a confused look, "How the fuck would I know you'd attack me?"
She glared daggers at me and I stayed as calm as possible. We stood there staring at each other for what seemed like hours before she fixed herself and said, "Fine. Lead the way."
As I started to direct her around my mind couldn't get over the fact we only just met again after four years and she already tried to hurt... no probably kill me. She still has the same bad attitude and never wants to admit she was wrong. Even worse, that same murderous intent kept washing over me and I knew what it was. She may not be able to use her attacks but Gardevoirs being a species that excel in projecting emotions can still make others feel what they want. Either she is so full of hate it's projecting onto me or she wants me to feel threatened. If I'm honest it is working and I feel like I won't be able to sleep tonight.
As we approached the Dining hall and I did what every good guide should, "This is the dining hall, in order to purchase food you will need your student ID to be scanned when cashing out. There are several different stations, each with their own specialties." She wouldn't stop projecting so I finally blew up, "And can you STOP WITH THE FUCKING PROJECTIONS ALREADY!"
The feeling finally dissipated and she smirked a bit, "Hmph, seems you've gained some back bone... or you feel safe thanks to the little gadget I have to wear." She reached into her bag and pulled out a can of gardes delight, "I'm sorry for trying to hurt you, as a peace offering, please take a can of your favorite soda."
I scoffed at her, "Oh please, I know you. You think I'd fall for the same prank you pulled on so many other people? I was there."
She snickered and shrugged, "Suit yourself." *Pssh!* She started drinking a bit, "Mmm, yeah. Too bad only my kind can buy these."
I decided to ignore her and brought her over to the main building, "This is the main building, here is where all the CLASS-" I felt semi warm bubbly liquid pour on my head and run down my back. It felt sticky and disgusting. When the can emptied, she dropped it on my head, letting it bounce against my skull. I stood there visibly shaking but instead of getting mad, I actually laughed a bit, "God... damn it I should have seen it coming. You poured a twenty dollar imported can of soda on me. That's really fucked up and a waste."
Silvia shrugged, "Whatever."
I examined myself, "Well shit... now I have to shower later."
Silvia shook her head, "Can we move on?"
I laughed again, "You're the one who poured soda on me, you're the one trying to hurt me. If you really wanted to get this over with, then you would have kept your mother fucking mouth shut like a good little gardevoir and followed me, saying some fake ass oooohs and ahhhhhs as I lead you around a boring, empty, irrelevant college campus but no. You continue to be a fuckstick with a nail shoved so far up your ass you should probably be choking on it. So let me ask this, are you fucking done? Can I please get this over with so we may NEVER speak to each other apart from some simple dorm conversations we will need to have in the future? If not, we can literally stand here all day, I don't have any classes and you probably don't either. So let's just stand here staring angrily at each other like we're children."
Silvia looked aside, "I'd rather look at a Mr. Mime's Asshole than you."
I grimaced a bit, "That's disgusting, why would you say that?"
Silvia flipped me off, "Fuck you, that's why. You should have punched me by now, especially with your anger issues."
I bit back a retort, "Tst, I got over those issues once you were out of my life. Turns out you were the worst thing that's ever happened to me and when you were absent, I finally became happy."
Silvia took a deep breath and smacked her cheeks lightly, "Ok... look. I'll be civil, for now, and won't pull any tricks. Just... spare me the details unless I have questions."
I threw my hands into the air, "That's what I was already doing. Come on."
The next stop was the student center, it's a building made specifically for students to either study or unwind. It has a few game rooms, computer labs and a gymnasium. Then came the big boy itself... the dorms. There's three in total, our apartment is in Dorm C. There's nothing specific about the dorms, there's just three and they gave them a letter to better help new people figure out which one is which. I looked at the time to see it's still daylight, meaning I can still go out after my shower. Thank god... I think I deserve a nice dinner out in town... oh wait, too expensive. Guess I'll have to just settle with reading in my room to avoid any more contact with queen bitch. I could only imagine what Jay will say... hell I was looking forward to it.
When I opened the door, Jay was sitting at our kitchen table, "Oh Hey, you're ho-" He immediately noticed Silvia, "Holy Mother Fucking Shit. Is that Silvia?"
I did the fakest smile he's ever seen, "Yeah, she's one of the new transfer students and it's amazing how she ends up being our roommate. Aren't you just... excited?"
Silvia did exactly what I expected, "Oh, I didn't know we have butlers here. Want to bring in my bags, I tip well."
Jay didn't like that, "Here's a tip, go eat yo own ass."
Silvia covered her mouth in disgust, "You would be the type of human to be into that weird shit."
Jay shook his head, "Oh fuck you."
I looked up at the ceiling in thought, 'Arceus must really be shitting in our salad today because this is just peachy. I did absolutely nothing to deserve this punishment.'
Silvia looked around, "So, where's my room."
I did an annoyed sigh, "Come on... Your room is this empty one, mine is unfortunately across from it. My room's heater is broken but I can handle the winter fairly well. Only bad news is your AC sometimes goes on the fritz. Think you can deal with it."
Silvia nodded, heading towards our entrance, "I can handle it, I'll go grab my suitcases and other things."
After she left, Jay looked at me, "So how do we kill her?"
I thought to myself before snapping my fingers, "Dude... POISON."
Jay fist bumped me, "Brilliant. She has to get hungry or thirsty at some point and knowing how much of a bitch she is, she'll ask one of us, then BAM! She's in a coffin forever."
I chuckled a bit before getting serious, "She's being a horrible bitch..."
Jay noticed the stains, "She poured shit on you? What is she a Ralts?"
I did a mock laugh, "I wish, at least back then she was nice."
Jay looked confused for a moment, "We never did find out why she just dumped you."
I shrugged, "I don't care about that anymore. I'm happier without her."
Jay took a deep breath, "That may be true but at the same time as your friend I know it does secretly bother you. Maybe you'll finally be able to find some sort of closure from this. You haven't dated since she did what she did and I think it's because she shattered your trust in people. I know I'm not the best at giving advice, but maybe talking this out can fix that and you'll be able to truly move on."
I started to fake some tears, "That was... just beautiful man. You're the best butler a man could ever ask."
Jay threw up his hands, "Fuck it, she dies."
Jay just started ranting to himself as I went into my room. I started reflecting on his words and noticed how much there was in it, but the sad reality is it's not up to me. Only Silvia can tell me why and she will never apologize for what she did. He is right that it secretly bothers me but I was getting over it slowly, now she just reappeared in my life. To make it worse, I can tell she thinks she can act like a complete cunt and we just have to accept it. That's not the case and if I have to knock her lights out at some point, I will. She's nothing without her powers and I'll make sure she knows it if I have to. I hate her... how much I despise her is nearly immeasurable... but it was nice to see a glimmer of the kind person she could be when she stopped being a total bitch. Her questions were honest and I answered them the best I could earning real gratitude. If she could do that a little more, we can easily get along enough to not tear each other's throats out. As I grabbed my new pair of clothes in prep for the shower, I noticed my cell started ringing. I looked at it to see it was my parents. I decided to ignore it since I didn't want to tell them about my day... not yet anyway. Once I left my room, I saw Silvia come in with a Machamp carrying her things with its four arms. I shook my head, knowing it would be like her to do something like this. At worst she'll probably try to be all over him or maybe he was a mover she hired? He does look a bit familiar though, so I doubt it. I am so happy I'm a junior, if I was a Freshman, I would transfer out this bitch asap.
After getting in the shower, I started thinking back to my parents and how angry they were about Silvia. Not because of what she did, but because I dated her behind their backs. My parents didn't like that most of all. They also didn't like that she's a pokemon because of mating months. Gardevoirs go through theirs during February and currently we are in August. During mating months female pokemon go into heat and try to mate with either their lovers or with random hook ups. Males don't experience this heat and it's a good thing because it keeps the populations in check. Luckily new drugs and birth control were created to suppress urges or deny egg laying. Without it, populations would be so out of control, there would be mass homelessness and chaos. It felt nice not to feel sticky anymore and this shower gave me the perfect opportunity to hide away my stuff so Silvia won't touch it. I even made space for her since she loves to do her hair in the morning to make that signature bang of hers. I didn't think she'd be into eye liner, must be a new thing. Feeling nice and fresh with everything in the bathroom set, I went back to my room and got a book to read. Jay was watching TV, and knowing him, won't be doing much else despite not wanting to fall behind, what a trooper. Once 6 o'clock hit, I left my room to grab some dinner and noticed Silvia was on a laptop. The moment my movement caught her eye she glared at me, "What's the wifi password, sir dicksalot wouldn't tell me."
I shrugged, "Even I don't know. Sir dicksalot as you call him is the one who pays for the internet so he's in control unfortunately."
Silvia groaned, "Could you get it for me, please?"
I chuckled to myself, "Why didn't you try being nice to him instead of me? He likes you more than I do."
Silvia raised a brow, "So what you're saying is... I should seduce him into giving it to me in both ways."
I ignored her, "Whatever you think is best."
Silvia looked a bit mad when I ignored her but I didn't care. I needed to make dinner and her problems aren't my own. She's a big girl, she can easily go suck his dick for the password and knowing Jay he'd accept it. The idiot loves that shit. Although he's completely hopeless, he at least has the confidence in himself that he can be so outgoing. If anything, I'm really glad that rubbed off onto me. It's thanks to that quality I was able to get my job at the bookstore in the first place. As I started cooking I asked Jay, "Hey, you hungry? Making the greatest dinner ever, its called spaghetti and meatballs with no sauce because we're poor as fuck."
Silvia came out of her room, "You make me some as well and you can use the pasta sauce I brought."
I gave her a weird look, "Why the fuck would you just randomly bring pasta sauce? Did you bring pasta as well?"
Silvia snapped back at me, "Of course I did you fucking idiot."
Jay snapped at her, "You want the wifi password you better straighten the fuck up and stop being a bitch Silvia. Until then you can fucking kick rocks."
Silvia bit her tongue before slumping over in defeat, "Fine. I'm sorry. Now, please, give me the password so I can sign into the wifi and use the internet."
Jay thought about it, "Hm, well we are using your pasta sauce and pasta..."
Silvia's head shot up, "Wait, I thought it was just the pasta sauce!"
Jay grinned at her, "I thought you wanted the password."
Silvia glared at him, "Oh, I see, you're blackmailing me in a sense."
Jay started chuckling, "Blackmail is such an ugly word, I prefer extortion. The X makes it sound smart."
Silvia looked at me, "Can you believe this guy?"
I shrugged, "He's the best roommate ever in my opinion."
Jay smiled at that, "See, that's what I'm talking about."
Silvia shook her head, "I should have just gone to that Machamp's room."
Jay laughed, "Oh sure, getting fucked would be a lot better than us... you'd still have no access to our internet though."
I asked Silvia, "Don't you have a phone? Use your hotspot."
Silvia shook her head, "I don't feel safe when my phone is a hotspot."
I thought to myself, 'Oh great, she has paranoia over the internet. That's just precious.'
Silvia looked at Jay, "Can I have it now?"
Jay thought to himself, "Could I extort you further for one blowjob?"
Silvia glared at him, "..." She turned to me, "The knives, where are they?"
Jay jumped up, "Whoa there femmemon, no need. Here's the password."
Jay gave her what she wanted, we watched as she went back to her room. She slammed her door shut and after a few seconds Jay came near me and whispered, "You think that's good?"
I gave it a minute before whispering back, "She should be playing music about now."
Jay spoke at his normal volume, "How long you think before she gets too pissed off and leaves?"
I gave him my best estimate, "Three days, a week tops."
A knock on the door got our attention. When I opened it, Cheryl was there, "Hey guys!"
I wasn't sure why she was here, "Uh... Hey Cheryl? Are you lost again?"
She immediately turned red, "T-That was only when I was a freshman and it happened only one time!"
Jay interrupted me to prevent a long back and forth, "Still doesn't answer our question, Why have thou comest to our humble home."
I gave Jay an angry glance, muttering under my breath, "You interrupt my back and forth to add your own? The fuck dude..."
Cheryl nervously chuckled, "You see, I kinda spent my dinner money on a new necklace... so I was wondering if I could have some of your dinner."
Jay looked at me, "I didn't know we were a homeless shelter."
I decided to join in, "Yeah, we better get ready, they might be coming from miles on end."
Cheryl playfully kicked our legs, "I am not homeless, I-" Silvia walked out of her room, "Oh! I didn't know you guys have a new roommate." She whispered to me, "Or is she your new girlfriend?"
Silvia glared at her, "I was wondering why such loud bickering was echoing throughout the house."
I whispered to Cheryl, "She's my ex-girlfriend and I'll be honest with you, I wish someone would rip her limb from limb."
Cheryl looked a bit uncomfortable, "Ah... I see. Sounds... Fun?"
Silvia asked, "Why are you two whispering to each other so much?"
I decided to introduce her, "This is Cheryl, she's a friend of mine and she's having dinner with us."
Silvia didn't like that, "Hmph... figures you'd date a rabbit."
I immediately came to her defense, "First, she is not a rabbit or a lopunny. She's a Cinderace and second, I would not date her."
Cheryl added, "I have a boyfriend already."
Silvia brought up a good point, "Then why are you eating here?"
Cheryl blushed, "Uh... Well... you see..."
I added this time, "Her boyfriend doesn't exactly like sharing food. He's an Infernape."
Jay, who I forgot was there, said, "He's also a Vegetarian. Cheryl likes meat."
Silvia smirked at her, "Oh, I bet she does."
Cheryl smirked back at her, "What? You don't like meat?"
Silvia chuckled, "I love meat... I'm a Gardevoir."
Cheryl smiled at her, "Yeah, honestly I'm relieved to know you're not dating Rui or Jay."
Silvia turned her head and pouted angrily, "I'd never date those two hopeless morons."
I cut in to say, "We already dated once, so you can't say never, you have to say again."
Jay snuck around me, "Either way we have to make more food."
I told him, "Don't forget to make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way this time. You know the oven sucks."
Cheryl asked, "So I can eat here?"
Silvia answered before I could, "No, there's no need for another female here."
Cheryl raised a brow at her, "Why? Scared of something?"
Silvia pouted again, "Nope. Just don't want you here."
I joined in, "Well too bad. Me and Jay say she can and majority rules here."
Silvia rolled her eyes, "Fucking fine... whatever."
Cheryl whispered, "Seriously, what's up her ass."
I whispered back, "Maybe it's the lack thereof that's causing the discomfort. Think you should give her one of your butt plugs?"
Cheryl blushed, "I do NOT have a butt plug!"
Silvia looked confused, "Why the fuck did she say that?"
I decided to say, "Because you need something shoved up your ass to negate bitch mode."
Silvia snapped at me, "Oh really!? Maybe I should invite that Machamp back and fulfill that thought."
I snapped back, "I wouldn't be surprised if you did, a Machamp is about your speed."
As we began glaring Daggers at each other Cheryl got between us, "G-Guys, don't fight."
Jay yelled, "I'm not paying for any damages so cut it out or I'll turn the fucking wifi off."
Silvia and I both turned out heads and pouted, "Hmph!"
I walked over to Jay and helped finish making our dinner. Cheryl asked Silvia, "What's your problem?"
Silvia scoffed, "None of your business whore bunny."
Cheryl grabbed one of our chairs, "Say that again and see what happens you stupid bitch!"
Silvia tried to use an attack and ended up getting another quick migraine, "Agh! Stupid fucking watch!"
I sighed and walked over to Cheryl, "Put the chair down, she's not worth it."
Cheryl looked at me and nodded, "You're right... I just can't believe you dated this bitch."
Silvia pouted again and sat at the kitchen table waiting for her food. Cheryl sat as well but as they stared at each other, I swear you could see Lightning connected their eyes. I am so thankful tomorrow is Bowling night. It'll allow me and Jay some much needed alone time with Derek and Anthony. It also gives us much needed time away from Silvia. While eating, Cheryl seemed to enjoy it but Silvia didn't... but she didn't dislike it either. Everyone stayed silent as we ate to prevent any more fighting. I wished Cheryl a good night and ignored Silvia as she huffed to her room. She didn't even put her plate in the sink... but that's not really a big problem. I handled it and went into my room. As I laid in bed, I began wondering why she was even here in the first place. The fact she avoids talking about her transfer also raises red flags... even worse was her willingness to harm me the second I turned my back. It's been four years... and she still hates me. I mean... it's understandable. Our last time speaking to each other ended very badly... but at least I can smile knowing how much she hates remembering how a human beat her in a fight.
(That's the end of the first chapter. In this story there are special watches used to negate pokemon attacks/powers. However, there are certain powers that cannot be negated based on specialty. Alakazams can use telekinesis, some pokemon are still stronger and physically fit, others can make things. It's all pokemon to pokemon based. As always I'd love it if you guys could support the story with a favorite/follow and a Review. Have a great day everyone!)
