The Pokemon Academy: Chapter Eight
Starring Impo, ~Ryukaa, Rossay
The rest of the subjects for the day went buy fairly uneventful. The next subject for Impo and Ryukaa was Cooking. Lucky for them, as they both didn't eat lunch. Then in art they received their first piece assignment.
"A sketch of our Pokemon? On the first day we get an assignment!" Ryukaa wailed. He hated homework and wasn't very good at drawing. Impo thought he was good at sketching, but didn't boast because he knew his standards weren't as high as they ought to be.
The bell for end of lessons rang loud throughout the halls, and all the students sighed in relief. Their first day hadn't been to hard, but it was still tiring. Impo and Ryukaa met up with Rossay in the main hall, who was on his way to the meadows.
"Rossay! Where are you going!" Ryukaa called, waving his arm in the air. Rossay rushed over to them and explained.
"To the meadows, duh. After school there's always everyone outside wanting to battle. And sometimes events, like bug-catching contests and Pokeathlon courses! Not to mention contests! Great for experience!"
"Awesome! Let's go!" Impo cheered.
"Yeah, I can't wait to get Sentret stronger!" Ryukaa said, patting a lump in his pocket. Impo guessed it was Sentret's ball. The two ran eagerly outside, leaving Rossay to catch up.
"You guys! I meant experience for study!" Rossay said, running after them.
The meadow, instead of being empty like it was yesterday, was filled with people. They were everywhere. Battling, chatting and trading. There was also a bug-catching contest in the forest, which was starting in five minutes.
"Oh! A bug-catching contest! I'm so in!" Rossay said, excitedly running up to the official in charge. He waved goodbye to Impo and Ryukaa as he entered the forest.
"What should we do now?" Impo questioned, looking around.
"I don't want to catch more Pokemon yet," Ryukaa said. "I'm going to strengthen up Sentret before I give it a new friend."
Ryukaa released Sentret from its ball, and it happily climbed up Ryukaa to rest on his shoulder, playfully bouncing on it's tail.
"Yeah, me too. I think Teddiursa might have been a little hurt from its-"
"Sen!"
Impo stopped in his sentence to witness Sentret accidentally bounce off Ryukaa and onto the floor, landing with a soft thud. Sentert emitted a groan and replaced itself upon Ryukaa, playfully bouncing again. Impo blinked, then finished his sentence.
"from its last battle," Impo then released Teddiursa from its ball. It looked around at the meadow full of people, then it clutched the leg of Impo's trousers in a frightened manner.
"Let's battle!" Ryukaa suggested, with eagerness in his voice.
"Sure," Impo grinned. They moved into a more open space and begun their battle. With their Pokemon out, there was no need to release to wait, and they both wanted to win. Not because they had grudges, but they knew they wouldn't let the other one go a day without telling them who had the stronger Pokemon.
The battle wasn't very good. Nor was it fun to watch. Impo and Ryukaa were too inexperienced to have some good, strategic battles. The two just relayed attacks until Sentret fainted.
"Yes! I win!" Impo cheered.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Impo checked the source of the beeping noise, his Pokedex. He pulled it out of the inside of his jumped pocket and read the flashing message.
"Yes! Teddiursa leveled up!"
The message stopped and Impo returned his attention to Ryukaa, who picked up his unconscious Sentret.
"Damn. Rematch?" He asked.
"Yeah! But you need a Pokemon."
"Haha, there's a healing machine near the bug-contest entrance. I'll just use that."
So the two battled until Rossay came out of the forest, gaining their Pokemon some valuable experience. They darted back and forth from the healing machine whenever necessary, somewhat irritating their Pokemon. Not to mention the Nurse there. Rossay seemed excited and began to speak.
"Hey guys! Come check out the results of the contest! I think I did good!" He said quickly. Without another word he ran back into the forest.
"I wonder what Pokemon he caught?" Impo said, and he and Ryukaa followed Rossay's footsteps.
"I hope it's not a Weedle," Ryukaa shuddered. The two entered the forest and awaited for the results to be called.
