Ask to Join Pokemon Academy

[SuperNerd]

"Stare accepted," Super Nerd quietly said, giving Raboot a stare as well.

"Well then, broccoli hair, I will leave, but I do say, you should really teach your lagomorph some manners." Before anything else could be said, Super Nerd closed the door himself before walking back to his room.

"Such imbeciles... Once I get my hands on that PRZ-12, I can finally put them back in their places. Guess i'll dream about how precious it will be when I wipe them off the floor like spilled potions..."

After monologuing once again, Super Nerd promptly went to sleep for the second time that night.

 

[Tackywacky]

The next day
Izuku waited outside the dorm building for his friends, with bags under his eyes. He barely slept last night because of people waking him up.

But in the corner of Izukus eye, he say something staring at him. He thought it was the Super Nerd kid again. But instead, it was a riolu. Izuku looked at it, and silently walked towards it. When he was close enough, he threw a pokeball.

Caught

 

[=Nightshade=]

“Ew.” Aine looked at her phone the next morning at about six in the morning. There was a text from Izuku she had missed the previous night; apparently, David had been looking for her and Schrift. She glanced up at the bed furthest from her own. She could see blankets rising and falling with rhythmic breath. Didn’t look like he cared much.

Aine swung her legs over the side of the bed, went into the bathroom, and pulled on a clean pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Spark skittered across the floor and climbed her leg to her shoulder. She slid down the railing and landed, stumbling a few steps to get her bearings. When she was outside the building, she texted Izuku, Winston, and Schrift.

Where r u guys? If ur still sleeping, y’all should know first period starts in fifteen mins

She tucked her phone into her back pocket and kept walking. Aine had literally gotten three hours of sleep last night due to her and Schrift’s training session. She was tired.

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda watched tiredly on her out of the dorms as the green-haired boy caught a Riolu. Hm. That was quick. She thought, rubbing sleep from her eyes. She was about to put Mimikyu up in his poke ball and head to class, when the girls from her dorm burst out of the building exit- and directly into her.

Koda stumbled a few feet, her hands flying out in front of her to catch herself as she fell to the ground. Her palms stung, and she already knew they’d been scraped. She stood up, brushed herself off, and turned around to glare at the girls. They were both giggling as if her fall was the funniest thing they’d ever seen. Koda was red with embarrassment and anger. She prayed the boy with the Scorebunny had not seen the small mishap.

“What are you looking at, stupid?” One of the girls, who Koda recalled was named Brittany.

“Why don’t you go tell your mommy you fell?” The other one, Jessica, fake pouted.

“Oh wait- she can’t!” Brittany sneered, laughing. “She lives in a foster home when she’s not staying here!”

It took all of Koda’s strength for her to not punch the pair of them in the face. She could handle teasing, but she was already at her wits’ end this morning and these girls had crossed a line. Mimikyu was pissed, too. She could feel his anger radiating from under his rag.

“Uh-oh, did we make you mad? What are you gonna do, battle us?” Jessica spoke, her voice dripping with petty aggression.

“What’s her ugly Pokémon gonna do?” Brittany giggled.

“Mimikyu, use Nightmare.” Koda muttered, and watched as the attack made Brittany’s face go slack with shock. Her eyes were wide, mouth agape, as if she had just witnessed a murder. Then she fell to her knees.
“What’s wrong with you?” Jessica yelled, and was swiftly cut off with a shriek from Brittany. Koda walked off, Mimikyu in her arms. She was satisfied.

 

[SharpShotInteleon]

Leaving his dorm room, Winston slowly made his way down the corridor, neatening his hair to make sure it was somewhat respectable. He was exhausted after the Super Nerd fiasco. Making his way to the corridor, Winston peered out a window and noticed that Izuku was standing out their, seemingly celebrating. Shrugging, Winston presumed he had caught a new pokemon and made his way to first period. He wasn't entirely sure what it was, but it was probably something like type effectiveness class.

Suddenly, Winston heard two people muttering as they came around the corner. As they approached, Winston recognized them almost instantly. It was the two idiots from dex studies. As they came around the corner, one of them seemed to be playing tough, leaving out a foot for Winston to trip over. Winston just glared at the guy and very slowly stepped over his foot.

"Honestly guys, get some new material," Winston muttered under his breath.

 

[=Nightshade=]

“Hey.” The snarky voice came from behind Aine as she walked to her first period. She whirled to see who it was. David walked up to her, his lazy, insolent, omnipresent smirk torking his face. He motioned to her birthmark. “You got a little something on your face.” His predatory grin grew wider. “Looks like a Fire-type move gone wrong. Your boyfriend’s Raboot do it?”

Inside, Aine was boiling with rage that this imbecile had dared to approach her, let alone insult her or imply that there was anything between her and Izuku other than friendship, but she kept her calm demeanor up.

“Oh, wow,” she said acidly. “It seems I have developed X-ray vision. Hey, David, you got a little something on your brain.” Aine was now the hunter, David the prey. She grinned evilly. “Looks like a tumor. One of your fan girls do it?”

Aine didn’t stick around to witness his reaction, but she did hear the “Ooh, burn!”s from behind her. A small, satisfied smile played on her lips as she went to the building for Breeding Sciences, her first period, wondering who else would have her class.

 

[Tackywacky]

Izuku was in his class, battling a few trainers to level up his newly caught Riolu, and eventually came across David.

"Hey, weird hair. Battle me" Demanded David impatiently, Izuku looked a bit suspicious. And told David not to use any PRZ-12. David nodded and sent out his Hitmonchan. Izuku said that to be sure, it would be a 2 against 1 fight,

Izuku's Rabbot and Hattena.

Against Hitmonchan

 

[SuperNerd]

The Super Nerd peeked out from a bush once again, as he had a habit to do so, scanning the battle field with his eyes before face palming.

"Imbecile, my partner in crime sent out a Hitmonchan against a Raboot and Hattena, latter of which is strong against Fighting! He better have Water Punch on that thing."

His Magnemite looked from left to right while thinking before looking very confused at Super Nerd.

"Yes, I KNOW that Water Punch doesn't exist! I was making an ironic joke!," he shouted, causing the Magnemite to fly backwards in fear. "Still, I don't care about his tactics. Soon, I will be able to borrow the PRZ-12 and show everyone what I can do!"

Magnemite poked him on the shoulder with it's magnet, it having found a pretty leaf it wanted to show him.

"I don't know why I keep you outside of your ball," Super Nerd stated, before letting Magnemite return into it's ball.

 

[Tackywacky]

Izuku let his Riolu watch the battle, to learn more about fighting. The riolu heard shouting in the bushes and remembered Izuku telling it about a 'weird kid' who would watch battles without fighting in battles himself.

Riolu looked towards Super Nerd and made a disgusted face. Knowing what a creep Super Nerd is.

"Flame charge and Psybeam" commanded Izuku.

And both his pokemon we're quickly defeated by a Mega Punch.

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda walked into BP class, her palms still stinging with pain. She looked around, hoping no one noticed she was late. Koda had taken care of her hands, which were now gently wrapped with light bandages. She glanced around, wondering if anyone here would battle her; anyone she had a chance of beating.

Koda wasn’t a new trainer. She’d been training and leveling Mimikyu since third grade, after all. But neither of them were very good at battling, unless they were both equally angry. And Koda didn’t exactly trust her Pokémon- or her self- when they were mad. She had a few other Pokémon, too, but she preferred to battle with Mimikyu.

Koda watched as Green-Hair-Kid fought against the school bully, Dean, or Dan- David? She could barely recall his name. All she knew was Brittany and Jessica adored him, he was strangely powerful, and that one boy with the Umbreon beat him up. How interesting...

And so Koda found herself once again watching the boy, because her curiosity always got the best of her.

 

[SharpShotInteleon]

As Winston pushed the door open to enter T.E class, the professor was just sitting behind his desk reading some sort of old, dusty book. Curious but not wanting to intrude, Winston just took his seat at the front, grabbed his pencil case and waited. Roughly 15 minutes later, the teacher finally began teaching. Took you long enough Winston thought to himself as the professor wrote on the whiteboard.

"Hello class, my name is Professor Polarite, and I will be your type effectiveness teacher." The professor boomed out in a loud, cheery voice.

 

[Tackywacky]

"Come on, is that all you got," said, David.

Both Izuku's pokemon were defeated. And sending out Riolu would be a bad idea because Izuku just caught him. Izuku had no other choice but to accept failure and go heal up his pokemon. While walking, Riolu spotted a Mimikyu and started to play with it.

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda smiled, watching the Riolu of the green-haired kid play with Mimikyu. It seemed his Pokémon loved to approach hers... maybe she’d actually get a word out to him this time. She reached down and pet the Riolu, producing a Poké Puff from her bag.

 

[Tackywacky]

Izuku noticed, and walked over. "I'm sorry, my pokemon likes to meet new people--" Just then Izuku noticed it was the same girl who raboot approached.

"It seems my pokemon likes your Mimikyu." Izuku said, might as well getting to know the girls' name. "My name is Izuku, nice to meet you," he said while holding out his hand for a handshake

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda’s eyes widened, surprised at the kind greeting. She shook Izuku’s hand, forcing herself to appear cool and collected.

“Koda. And don’t sweat the Pokémon- Mimikyu could use a few buddies.” She smiled a bit, looking down at their Pokémon. Mimikyu was chattering happily to the Riolu.

“Rough battle, huh? That David kid seems off... I don’t get how his fighting type could beat your Hattena.” She pushed back her hair, brown eyes shining with curiosity.

 

[Schrift]

On the way to class Schrift thought of something, something he wouldn't have thought of. He took one of his Pokeballs and threw it in front of him, out came his luxio, it gave a puzzled stare, then it lunged at him hitting him with a thunder fang. " Love you to buddy" Schrift said before wrestling him off and putting him back in his Pokeball. Then marks on is arm stung, in fact it was pure hell, it kept twitching randomly from time to time. Why does he do that Schrift thought.

Then, an idea flashed into his head, if he clearly wasn't strong enough to fight David then he could get help. He sent a message to is friends.

After school meet outside the forrest I have an Idea to beat david I just need ur help.

 

[Tackywacky]

Izuku received the message from Schrift. And replied:

Okay sure, help with what?

Izuku put his phone back in his pocket to resume the conversation with Koda. "I know, maybe I need to train more" Said Izuku while giving his pokemon Max Revives. His Raboot hopped out of his arms and ran around Koda and Mimikyu, and Hattena shuffled towards Mimikyu and gave it a small hug.

"My pokemon really seem to like you, why not join me and my friends at lunch" Suggesting Koda

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda patted the Hattena on the head and laughed softly at Raboot. Mimikyu was having the time of his life with his new friends. Her head snapped up to face Izuku when he offered her a seat at his table.

He might think I’m okay, but it’s only a matter of time... and who knows what the others think of me? I’ll never fit in with them...

She was too weak to hang out with these kids-

But they didn’t need to know that.

“Sure, I’ll sit with you guys. I’ve got nothing better to do.” Koda plastered on her “I’m cool and don’t really care” look again, hoping she didn’t seem stupid. She rubbed together her bandaged hands and gave Izuku a small smile.

 

[Tackywacky]

Izuku saw Koda's attempts to be cool, and chckled a bit. "Don't worry, just be yourself" assured Izuku.

He saw that Riolu was a bit shy to be faced with new pokemon. Hattena dragged Mimikyu over to Riolu, and tried to introduce the both of them to eachother.

"Well, anyways. Since we're in Battle Practice class, might as well ask you for a battle" Izuku offered while returning both his Raboot and Hatenna. "I'll try and see if Riolu is strong enough to bet Mimikyu"

 

[=Nightshade=]

Aine’s phone buzzed in her pocket, and she snuck a glance at it under the desk.

Cool. Can’t wait to pound him into pulp, she texted back. Anything’s better than listening to this old coot give the talk about the Delibirds and the Combees.

“As you can see with this Egg that was recently laid...”

Ain stuck her phone back into her pocket and sighed, trying to learn, however painful it may be.

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda felt her face grow warm at Izuku’s comment to be herself, and brushed it off. He wanted to battle? Crap...

He did only get that Riolu this morning though... She and Mimikyu would just have to do their best. “Sure, I’ll battle you.”

Koda grew nervous- this could mess everything up, couldn’t it? Making friends was so hard. What have I gotten myself into?

She hoped her worry wasn’t evident as she took position, calling Mimikyu to stand in front of her.

 

[Tackywacky]

"I'll take the first go, Use Metal Claw!" Shouted Izuku, as Rioulu charged ttowards Mimikyu, and unleashed a slash with metalic claws

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda grimaced as she watched Mimikyu be battered with Izuku’s attack. She concentrated, and reasoned with her options. Izuku was powerful- his Pokémon probably had high levels. A move that did damage based interest the opponent’s level would come in handy.

“Mimikyu, use nightshade..!” Koda said softly. She prayed the Riolu wouldn’t dodge- if she could just land a few hits early on, she’d seem strong.

 

[Tackywacky]

Riolu quickly dodged, as its fist glowed and went in for an arm thrust, but instead phased right through Mimikyu, knowing it's a ghost type and fighting type moves have no effect, Riolu was now an open target.

 

[SharpShotInteleon]

After class, Winston noticed how Izuku and a kid Winston didn't recognise were battling. Not wanting to pass up on an opportunity to watch a battle, Winston sat on a bench and began to watch the two battlers intently.

 

[Tackywacky]

Since Raboot and Hatenna were not battling, they took a seat next to Winston. Raboot and Hatenna tugging on Winston's shirt, telling him to send out his Drizzle to play with.

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda frowned when Riolu dodged. If she could get a status effect of the Pokémon, then she could use hex and deal a lot of damage.

“Mimikyu, use lick.”

If only his Riolu weren’t so fast. She found herself once again hoping that it wouldn’t dodge.

 

[Tackywacky]

Riolu was struck, leaving it parylzed.

"Riolu no!" shouted Izuku, knowing it was already on low health and could be taken down with one hit with a hex.

Izuku commanded Riolu to use metal claw, but it was no use. It feels to its knee's as it was left motionless.

 

[SharpShotInteleon]

Noticing how raboot and hatenna looked as though they wanted Winston to send out one of his pokemon, Winston chuckled slightly, unclicked a pokeball from his belt and sent out his Drizzile.

"There y-you go, little guys..." Winston said chuckling.

As the water lizard came out, it seemed to be on alert, ready to spring into battle. When it noticed that there was no reason to fight, it began to interact with the two other pokemon around it.

 

[mimiduckie]

Koda smiled a bit- she had him beat.

“Mimikyu, use hex.” She said simply, her eyes sparkling. Mimikyu gladly used the attack.

Okay, maybe Koda wasn’t the one of strongest trainer, but she could be one of the smartest... Maybe this was how she’d fit in.

 

[SharpShotInteleon]

Appreciating the style of the two's battle, Winston pulled out a journal and jotted down notes and diagrams of the battle. To the untrained eye, it would seem to be random scribbles and drawings, but Winston was able to see the method to the madness.

"Hey, drizzile, come over h-here." Winston commanded his water lizard, who did so without question.

Passing the journal to drizzile, the lizard scratched its head confused, but soon understood. It had noted the battle style of the riolu and mimikyu and would know how to counter them.

 

[Schrift]

Schrift watched the battle, whoever izuku was battling must be good. Like really good. " Hey Izuku who's your girlfriend" he called, a smile lingered on him face. He looked at Winston and gave a wink. He looked at the girl, there was something about her on the surface that made her look like she wasn't experienced, but he was wrong or she was just naturally good.

 

[SuperNerd]

Still behind the bush, Super Nerd drew his attention from the battle and noticed Winston and his Drizzile holding an interesting looking journal.

"Looks like he has been documenting the battle, this could be useful information for my partner in cr-" he began, before he was interrupted by his Magnemite who was trying to not get noticed while getting closer to hear what Super Nerd was saying.

"How did you get out of your ball!?," Super Nerd shouted at the Magnemite who tried to shrug with it's magnets. "Whatever, if I put you back in the ball you would just get out again, I have other things to sort out..." He stood up, adjusting his glasses before he rushed to Winston and grabbed the journal from him without permission.

"Got it!," he said, holding up the journal and reading it, before bursting into laughter. "You think this would help you, second-classer!?," he shouted while laughing at the page. "This information is useless!"

 

[=Nightshade=]

Aine came rushing out of Breeding Sciences clutching something to her chest, embarrassed beyond belief, and finding herself wishing that teacher would get a life. Of course, he had given her an Egg, as he had all the other students, so he wasn’t that bad...

She realized then that Winston, Izuku, Schrift, and the girl they had been talking to the last night were all there. She went up to them and sat down with a sigh, relaxing her hold on the Egg the slightest bit.

“Thank Arceus that’s over,” she muttered to Winston, whom she had sat next to. “If I hear one more thing about how baby Pokémon are made, I may just spontaneously combust.” Suddenly, Super Nerd came out of the bushes and snatched Winston’s journal!

Aine protectively wrapped her arms around the Egg as she smoldered at the “second-classer” comment. “How bout you just shove off, dork?” she snapped. “If your life is so sad that you have to come over here just to insult people, maybe you should go jump in a lake!”

 

[SuperNerd]

Super Nerd turned to Aine, his expression turning into one of disgust.

"Who are you calling a DORK!? I'm not a DORK I tell you! You imbeciles don't even KNOW my true power!," he said, stomping up and down on the ground while his Magnemite looked around in confusion.

"How about a fight, hm!? Then I'll show you that I am in fact, NOT a dork, but a master of Pokémon! I certainly know more than you, SECOND-CLASSER!"

 

[SharpShotInteleon]

"Hm... care to think that way? Guess we'll have to show you what for, eh?" Winston said, adrenaline coursing through him.

Drizzile took on an appearance of true battling preparation, wetting its hands with a water gun. It stared at super nerds' magnemite with an appearance of pure hatred and anger.

"Come on then!"

 

[=Nightshade=]

A reluctant smile tugged Aine’s lips. This kid had fire! Though maybe more the kind of “insane” fire that the “spirited” kind.

“You better believe it,” Aine snarled. “And when you get beat by a disabled kid with a Joltik and an actually smart person with a Drizzile, you can run home to your mommy and cry.”

Spark leaped off her shoulder as she stood, realizing gladly that her leg had decided to work today. “Take care of my Egg, will you?” Aine asked Izuku’s Pokémon, leaving it on the table.

 

[SuperNerd]

Super Nerd smiled, holding up a Pokéball.

"Very well then! My Pokémon will crush yours!," he said, his Magnemite getting excited and into a fighting position.

"Not you, you wimp!," he shouted to his Magnemite, who stared down at the ground in disappointment.

Super nerd threw the Pokéball into the air, releasing an Electrode. "Both of you can take me on at the same time, two against one seems fair! You'll loose anyways!"

 

[SharpShotInteleon]

"Oh is that so? You've got another thing coming then!" Winston shouted out, voice filled with battling rage.

Drizzile began the fighting by running over to a patch of the area filled with grassless dirt. It soaked the area with a powerful water pulse and waited there for super nerd's electrode to attack. He knew what to do. Aware of electrode's teleportation abilities, Drizzile was ready to spring at any moment.

 

[SuperNerd]

"Hm! Electrode, use light screen!," he exclaimed, Electrode obliging as a wall of energy appeared in front of it, before disappearing.

"Let's see your response to that!"
