Action: Hey, and we're back with the second chapter.
Skye: Awesome this is smooth sailing since you have gotten better at this.
Glitz: Yeah, just get better at including all of us.
Leaf: Wow a compliment and an insult in one go.
Zack: Guys let's just get the chapter started.
Action: Thank you, Zack, now Gladion disclaimer.
Gladion: Action doesn't own pokemon or the music that is referenced here.
A/N: Also to make it clear because I will not write it in. When pokemon are fighting I will not say they are in their pokemon form or when they are out I will not say they are in pokemorph form. Also reminder if they naturally have a tail, wings they are a part of their pokemorph form or any distinctive features.
~Glitz's~
We were already on our way to the party. When I mean we I'm talking about Ashley, Zack, Tyler, James and me. Leaf, Skye, Duke, and Blaze said they would meet us there. Gladion said he wasn't interested in going, I guess it has to deal with the fact that he is naturally socially awkward around new people and he doesn't know how to communicate with Blaze and Duke yet. Also, I love being out in the dark being a shiny Umbreon and I can show off tonight just for Ashley. It didn't take long for us to get there and you could hear the music outside the building.
"Wow, this place is huge" We looked to Tyler with his taken back expression.
"If you didn't know this is the biggest stadium in all of Ferrum and has dorm rooms for students who qualify for the Chroma league" I gave Zack a blank expression.
"Nerd!" James and I said in unison as Ashley and Tyler were laughing. Pokemon around were looking at us and frankly, I didn't care we're here to have fun. (The song is Run the show by Kat DeLuna).
~Zack's~
I'm not one for the party scene and I'd much rather be in my room creating a vanguard deck, or atleast hanging with Gladion. James and Tyler went off somewhere in the crowd, Skye and Leaf snuck out to the stairwell and I'm right now watchin Ashley and Glitz have an argument. Like I said before I'm not one to intervene on others' problems so I let them be. As I saw Glitz storm off Ashley walked off and met up with Blaze. I decided to hang in a quiet area which surprisingly was the bleachers.
"Orb, open dashboard" my hair tie showed me my holo screen. I decided to study up on other students and I came across Blaze's information. He has a lot of info even though he's a freshman, but I guess it shouldn't be surprising. He's lived here his whole life. Also says he easily can get in his opponents minds and he's quite the technician. He also helped develop the Orb, fascinating. I got a message from Gladion, he said he was lonely and needs company. I let out a groan walking out of the stadium. On my way out you see the occasional groups of pokemon dancing or the two that snuck off to kiss, but I saw Blaze just leaning against the entrance door and realized Ashley was nowhere to be found. Did he do something to her? Naw, no one would try to harm a fellow student especially as smart as Blaze. I continued walking back to the dorms and the thought of Ashley mysteriously disappearing was plaguing my thoughts. I finally let it go thinking she just went to find James and Tyler. Before I knew it I was at Gladion's door and I knocked on it.
"Come in, it's open" I heard his voice and it sounded dull as if he was bored. I opened the door and it revealed the giant chimera. I studied him as he laid upside down on his bed. I never really took the time to study his features back in the elemental region but even though he was synthetically made all the parts compliment each other. "Are you just going to stand in the doorway all night or are you going to come inside?" I realized I was staring and walked in urgently while shutting the door.
"So . . . Why did you call me here when you could have just gone to the party?" Gladion let out a defeated sigh as I asked my question.
"You know how I am with new pokemon. If one of you don't formally introduce me to them then I get defensive and dangerous" yeah I forgot that. I remember Tyler telling me how he and Gladion met and it wasn't pretty in the least. "Plus it's not like you were enjoying the party," Gladion stifled a laugh as I Glared at him.
"So what, at least I know how to socialize with others" I know it was a low blow and I can tell Gladion like that.
"You, little-" he then lunged at me and we started wrestling. We knocked over some of his furniture in the process but we didn't care we were fighting. It all took a turn though when I stumbled backwards we fell to the floor. We both groaned in pain not realizing the position we were in. I was on top of Gladion and had both of his hands pinned by mine on top of his head. I could see the blush on his face.
"Shit! I'm so sorry" I quickly get off of him and help him up.
"It's fine I'm not hurt or anything are you?" Gladion started searching my body for any scratches or bruises.
"I'm fine, I'm the one that fell on top of . . . OW!" I looked to my left and saw Gladion was touching my left shoulder.
"You must've put a lot of pressure on your shoulder to stop yourself from putting all of your body weight on me" He continued to touch it and I kept giving the same reaction. His hands started to make their way down my back and I must have a lot of muscle tension there because a simple poke hurt. "Okay, take off your shirt and lay face down on my bed" I did as he asked but I was a bit confused. I heard him souffle through some things before hopping on the bed and straddling my waist. "Don't worry I'm going to give you a massage" it sounded relaxing but I wouldn't know I never had one. When I felt his hands touch my fur I involentarly shivered. "Is the oil cold?"
"No, don't worry about I'm good" I didn't know what to say but the Chimera continued. He started with my lower back and made his way up. I could the tension melting away and at some points I let out small moans. After a while I couldn't even feel the pain across my back, but I didn't want him to stop. It felt so good. His strong hands caressing my soft fur.
"If you want I can massage another part of your body?" Gladion said in a slow manner which made me start thinking dark thoughts. I would've said yes but we started hearing talking from halfway.
"Crap, the parties over. I should get going" Gladion gets off of me and I put my shirt on just in time too I saw groups favorite giant fire dragon walk in the door. "Thanks for tonight Gladio, but I got to go" I rushed out of his room and made it over to mine. Why the hell did I give him that nickname? I thought as my roommates Duke a poison dinosaur and Leaf an avian archer entered the room. I decided to hide in my bedroom not wanting to deal with them till the morning.
~Tyler's~
We had another briefing this morning from dean MT. He was telling us how we are assigned our schedule through our ORB and how school officially starts in a week. We also are required to meet with our teams in the morning before classes and in the afternoon we are required to train in our sub categories; we have to do so four days a week. I'm dreading the team meeting, it means I have to deal with two pokemon I had hoped to forget about. Since I had another hour before I had to show up at my team's meeting spot, so I decided to head into town. It was a beautiful area booming with shops and towns pokemon. There were arenas scattered here and there and some pokemon were fighting. I was really intrigued by this one fight. A Typhlosion was fighting a Sceptile and even with the Sceptile's ninja arts it seemed like it didn't faze the Typhlosion. Though I couldn't tell there was a cloud of dust blocking my view though when it blew away I saw a slightly slimmer Typhlosion with flames coming out all over his back and neck. He looked so cool. In a blink of an eye the stage ruptured and started to rip apart, and the Sceptile was sent flying.
"Take this!" The Typhlosion said while shooting a small ball of fire at the Sceptile. It then exploded, trapping the leafy ninja in a sphere of blaze and the sheer force of the explosion was almost enough to break the barrier on the stadium. When the battle finished I ran over to where the Typlosion was exiting.

"Wow, what you did was amazing!" My eyes sparkled as I could tell I put the Giant Echidna in a socially awkward spot.
"Thank you, though what I did was nothing special and wait" he started to study my features as if he knew something about me I didn't. "Are you Tyler the Noivern that won Holy Road in the elemental region?" I nodded my head yes.
"Uh, how do you know about that?" his flames on his back started burning bright.
"Holy Road was broadcasted to all regions and I watched it while traveling through Johto" I blushed flattered by the Typhlosion. "How rude of me not to introduce myself, I'm Volcan" he extended his hand and I took it and shook it.
"Are you a fan? I know it's a stupid question but this happened a lot back a home," I said sheepishly. He took his hand back and gave me a relaxed answer: "No, but I always wanted to fight you since then" he gave me a warm smile and I couldn't help but smile back.
"As much as I would enjoy that I'm a bit out of practice" I said while rubbing the back of my neck" Volcan gave me an approving nod and was about to speak when we heard a shout.
" Some one tell me where the overgrown volcano went!" I turned around and saw a tall dinosaur with a flower blooming off her neck.
"Calm down Flora he's just over there" she was being followed by a blue gator with a red fin flowing down his back. They made their way towards use and the Meganium known as Flora was furious while the Feraligator was trying his best to calm her down.
"Hey Flora, and Snap" without flinching at the situation he was in, Volcan still able to keep his calm look.
"Don't 'Hey' me! You're coming with me right now, we were supposed to meet thirty minutes ago!" She grabbed Vulcan without a second thought and started dragging him away.
"It was nice meeting you Tyler hope to see you again soon" He waved with a smile. Snap Followed looking like a scared Wimpod. That Typhlosion is something else. Instantly my ORB showed me my holo screen and it was a message from Jason: ' hurry up and get here we don't want to be here all day' I sighed as my screen went away. I started making my way back to campus and we had to meet in the training stadium today. I made my way inside and it was an amazing sight. There were free weights, machines, and an indoor track. They all surround a fight zone which is the middle of the room and lucky me Arthur and Jason are there waiting for me.
"Took you long enough to get here" I could feel the sass radiating off of Jason. I looked at Arthur and he just had a conceded upset look.
"Are we ready to start?" Arthur sounded like we were wasting his time.
"No, what are we supposed to do?" I looked at both of them confused.
"Oh, right , you're a freshman" Jason started laughing a bit. "Well we are supposed to train together or separately and practice for the 3 on 3 battle that will start next month or the pokemon contests" Jason continued to explain how the Ferrumleague works with its divisions. Sadly if you're a supporter all you do is support individual fights.
"Okay let's start with mock fights. Jason you will fight Tyler" Arthur walked off to the side as Jason looked ready to fight.
"Also remember you're not allowed to achieve any boost of power until your synergy gauge is full, you're orb will tell you periodically how full it is" Jason started with a smug look.
"Battle, begin" Arthur stated. If I recall I haven't faced Jason since middle school and I would always win. I looked at Jason and he was moving so fast it's as if he disappeared.
"Don't worry about it too much, your eyes just need to adjust from facing those losers back in the Elemental region" Arthur stated. I tried to keep track of his movements but it's a pain on the eyes. I got bashed by his tail and got sent crashing back. Jason got way stronger too. I was able to stop myself by catching the wind with my wings. If i'm going to beat him I need to slow him down so I let out a shattering screech known as Boomburst. Jason stopped immediately trying to cover his ears while being sent backwards.
"Not bad, but Jason has more tricks!" Arthur shouted.
"Synergy gauge three quarters full" I cut two blades of wind and they started chasing after Jason, while I started to create a cyclone in the stadium. I wasn't prepared to see lava spew from the ground, luckily the cyclone absorbed it and now it's a flaming cyclone.
"Too bad you didn't get the hint" I was confused hearing Jason's voice. In an instant he was flying in front of me and he was mega evolved. I realized then the lava was him using earth power. Then another Pillar of lava appeared and restrained my feet. Then two more restraining my arms. Holy shit this stuff burns! "Game over" Jason came charging at me with a dragon claw fused with throat chop.
All the restraints were gone and I started to fall back to the ground, I was ready to hit the ground but instead I heard " I got you princess" it was Arthur's voice.
I instantly jumped out of his arms " you have no right to touch me!" I said with fear and anger because of my loss to Jason.
"Calm down it's not like I want you anyway, I have Jason" Jason strutted next to him and gave him a quick kiss. That hurt a bit, here I am thinking we can at least try and be friends.
"I think I'm done training for today. I'm heading to the beach" I said with a sniffle. I turned around instantly to hide my tears as I began to walk out of the building. Why am I crying, and why do I feel pain? I need to clear my head. I went back to my room and tied my fur into a giant braid, grabbed my lumineon swimsuit, towel and crocs. I made my way down to where the beach is and to my satisfaction there weren't a lot of students there. I decided to lay down my towel and sunbathe. I laid there for a bit until I was interrupted.
"Hey, Tyler nice seeing you here" I didn't open my eyes trying to figure out whose voice it was. "Tyler it's me Volcan" I open my eyes and see the group of fully evolved johto starters surround me.
"Hey, there we didn't get to formally meet earlier and sorry if I came off as rude or sassy. I'm Flora" The Meganium waved at me.
"Also I'm Snap and I'm not as jittery as I showed earlier I just don't like crowds" I looked at the Feraligatr that gave me a smile.
"We didn't expect to see you here, mind if we join you?" I looked to Volcan
"Not at all" They started unpacking the things they brought.
"Snap and I are heading in the water. The tide is high" Flora and Snap ran off.
"Why don't you join them?" I asked like the idiot I am.
"I would but the flame on my neck needs to be protected and I'm too lazy to deal with that" He said as he laid down on his stomach. I took the time to study his looks. He decided to wear trunks that look like a raging flame. I can tell he works out a lot based on his bulging muscles that are just on his back and his flame that looks like a calm campfire.
"Maybe you should take a picture, it'll last longer" Volcan said with a smirk. Usually I would be witty with my friends but instead I blushed.
"Are you offering?" I say while hiding my face in my fur. He let out a small laugh while staying on his stomach.
"Don't worry I'm just a flirt" he waved his hand dismissing the idea.
"Uh, Volcan What brings you and your friends to Ferrum ?" I know I don't know at all but it doesn't hurt to learn.
"Well, if you didn't know I'm from Johto and so are my friends, luckily we are all on the same team. Getting off track but when I was young I loved fighting and I still do but sadly I couldn't afford it and I missed the deadline for Holy Road so I could get a full ride. So to be able to follow my dream of fighting strong pokemon, I had to become intelligent. I got most of the money to get here thanks to my grades but most would think I'm just a dum fire dino" I listened intently as I started to relax. " My friends Snap and Flora I've known since we were eight. Flora always had the dream of being a contest star and is right now is one of top ten beauties of Johto while Snap is more of an analytical pokemon. Everything he does has to be precise that's why he's my supporter because he does everything at the perfect moment, he is more quiet and keeps to himself a lot but he can still be the life of the party" Volcan slowly came to a stop. "So Tyler, what brings you this direction even though you're the one that one Holy Road you don't look much like a fighter, no offense" I smiled as I thought back to my time in the elemental region.
"I actually don't know, back in high school I was love struck and tried to follow my crush and did what he does, but that became a rocky road and I became trapped. I followed the fighters path and the only reason that I'm as strong as I am now is thanks to the powers that have been granted to me. Though something revelatoring happened in a legitimate fight I lost, I realized I rely too much on the power gifted to me and not my own. Truly I don't think I belong here" I could feel tears trying to escape.
"Hey, calm down you do belong here but it's something new to be accustomed to and hey look at this . . ." Volcan's face changed from comforting to disappointment when he looked at his holo screen. "You may want to see this" I look at my holo screen and the fight between me and Jason plays. Titled ' Holy Road champion loses to seventh place' I flinched and put the screen away but then my school ranking came up and I went down to 165 from 82 and Jason went from 127 to 93.
"This is embarrassing" I cover my face.
"Stuff like this is normal when it comes to this school, also yeah, all matches,, even practice matches cost you your ranking here" I sighed. I decided to go through the ranking list since I was there. A Lot of the freshmen don't have a ranking: Duke, Glitz, Zack, Skye, Leaf, Gladion, James. Blaze 232, Ashley 194, Arthur 18, Volcan 53, Flora 175, Snap 109. I fell in the sand as I put my holo away.
"It's a sad reality but welcome to college life" I laughed alongside Volcan. I don't know if my time here will be long, or short but so far it's been fun.
