Action: So I went through my notes that I created for this series since the beginning of my Junior year and we are going off script for a chapter or two here and there to extend plot points.

Tyler: God damn it.

Zack: Why believe in god when you use the power of the devil.

Tyler: Smart ass.

Gladion: I don't think that affects us. If anyone this affects you.

James: Why the hell did I sign up for this in the first place.

Volcan: Come on guys it's only the third chapter.

It's been a month since classes actually started and it hasn't been easy but now the fun part is about to begin. Today is the opening ceremony for the Ferrum league to begin and for contests to start. I can't wait to see Tyler perform, sadly we aren't on the same team. Probably a good thing because We'd probably be all over each other. Right now the teams are getting lined up to parade through Ferrum and into the stadium. As I look at the crowd of students I learned that there are about 480 students in total. Duke, Zack and I were parading together and luckily Tyler's team and Leaf's team are on our left and right. I was surprised he would keep being a part of Arthur's team a secret I guess that's a discussion for later. Also Gladion's team was behind us. When we made our way into the stadium with our team they would call out the team names.

"Next team coming in is a team lead by a Charizard known as James and their name is Team: Distortion" As Zack, Duke, and I made our way in and saw the crowd of pokemon cheering. I didn't think this many pokemon would be here.

"Wow this is a jarring first sight don't you think?" We looked to Zack who seemed to not even flinch while waving.

"Next up is a Garchomp we all know, his name is Arthur and he's a leader of a team this year known as Team: Drake" I looked behind us as we stopped in the middle of the field and they all smiled and waved. I could tell Tyler felt out of place but he played it off. I have to say though what he decided to wear today was cute he wore a red button up Flannel and jeans and had a blue bandana around his neck. He also left a few of the top buttons undone.

"Stop Gawking at your boyfriend and face forward" I listened to Duke as I turned my attention forward.

"Another team led by a Decidueye known as Leaf, they are Team: Storm" Leaf, Skye and Glitz came on the field and Glitz made it clear she wasn't happy. Her rings were glowing in a deep blue almost purple, but Skye and Leaf tried to play it off as if everything was normal. " Coming in next is the first known pokemon of his kind. This team is led by a Silvally known as Gladion and they're Team: Null"The crowd gasped as Gladion, Ashley, and Blaze walked on the field. "Also if you didn't know teen pop star Ashley Ribbon is appearing here as a part of team null" The crowd screamed as we all know Ashley just wants to run but right now she showed no emotion as if she was hypnotized and never woke up. They continued calling teams for another twenty minutes until the last team arrived. " This years final team is led by a Typhlosion you all know as Volcan and the two that follow him are Flora and Snap they were last years champions and will be a tough team to beat they are known as Team: Overcrest" I looked at this guy known as Volcan and recall Tyler said he met a new friend named 'Volcan' on the first day. I guess he's one of the toughest opponents in the school. " Now that you are all here these are this year's 160 teams competing to be crowned the Chroma League Champion. Also for those of you who didn't know if you are the Chroma League champion you get to fight the toughest team known as team Iron and have been undefeated three years running!"

"Wow I wonder who they are?" Zack said already knee deep in his holo screen searching for any data.

"Now all of you are dismissed and are now allowed to do League battles. You will all start in the green League and make your way up at the end of each month there will be promotion battles for teams and the numbers can vary. Now go and fight!" We all left the stadium as quickly as we came and our group of friends though it would be good to get Pizza in town.

We went to a nearby pizza place, Leaf and Skye said they had plans to 'practice' so they didn't come. Ashley said she wasn't feeling well and Glitz followed her because she needs to take care of her. Leaving us with James, Tyler, Duke, Blaze, and Gladion. We decided to sit outside and three more pokemon showed up.

"Hi guys mind if we join you?" I looked toward the Meganium as her question was more directed towards Tyler.

"Yeah, of course. Guys these are some new friends of mine that I met last month you may remember them from the ceremony" I nodded and continued to speak.

"Yup, the Typhlosion is Volcan, Feraligatr is Snap and the Meganium is Flora" I then took a sip of my soda.

"Seems like someone did their homework" Flora said while they took their respective seats. Snap sat between me and Gladion. Flora sat next to Blaze and Volcan sat next to Tyler.

"I've never seen your kind before, are you synthetic?" Snap asked while studying Gladion.

"Actually, yes I was made in a lab to be a killing machine" I started to tune out their conversation and tuned in on Blaze and Flora.

"Blaze, how does it feel to finally go to school here?" Flora said as if he already knew her.

"Good I still remember everything. Sadly it's been about six years since I was here last" Blaze took a sip of his soda. Seems like even though he's native to Ferrum, he was living somewhere else for the past few years.

"How's the family?" Flora asked while biting into a slice of hawaiian pizza. Blaze shuddered after her sentence and looked uncomfortable as if he was fearful of something. I also noticed the fur on his neck started to weave into characters I did not know they seemed to resemble Unknown.

"You know everything is fine, my dad is doing good" he gave a panicked smile as if he was trying to cover up something. I tuned out of their conversation and started listening to Volcan, Tyler, and James. James looked very defensive at the beginning but after Volcan pointed out he wasn't into guys James got flustered.

"Volcan you never know. I mean I still like girls, but Tyler is the only guy I've liked and will like" after his little flushed statement. Tyler nuzzled into James while I saw a frown appear on Blaze's face.

"Okay, I'll take your word for it" Volcan showed a genuine smile. Then I heard a scoff from Duke.

"Arceus damn it how can a guy be so genuine when making a comment like that" I looked at Duke and no one else seemed to notice his comment.

"Eh, I learned not to judge, just to observe" I shrugged as I got up. "Gladion care to join me?" Gladion looked up at me.

"Yeah, sure it was nice meeting you Snap" Gladion got up with a pep in his step. We decided it would be nice to go shopping. "Can we get me some new Memory discs?" I looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Aren't they Specially created for you in Alola. Also what happened to some of them?" We started walking to a TM store.

"Well . . . I was only able to bring Fire, Water, Grass, Fairy, Electric, and Fighting. Also don't worry they are actually easy to create and this is a normal occurrence the memories break after a couple uses anyway. Let's just buy an ice - type TM and a ground - type ™" We grabbed what he wanted and I bought myself some fur dye. "Let's head back. I'll show you how to make a Memory disc" We trotted off.

~Arthur's~

In today's opening ceremony several different teams will compete to be a part of the second League known as the blue league. Lucky us it's a 3v3 match against team overheat. The team leader is a Pikachu named Dusty. Their supporter is a Dragonite named Penma and Performer is a Monferno named Polo. They made it to the Chroma League last year but was eliminated in the first round. Right now I'm in the locker room with Jason and Tyler. Jason was pacing back and forth thinking of a strategy not so quietly and Tyler was dressing himself up. He decided to re-dye his fur blue like the sky and a bandana the same color and his mega stone was weaved into it. As I studied him more I don't understand why I left him. Jason found out about getting in early and the idea of having a sex deviant as a boyfriend compared to Tyler's shyness and joy, there was only a lop-sided answer. Though now that I'm here I've come to regret some of the things I've done. Like leaving the things between Tyler and I. He's grown so much, in the past month we've been practicing he's shown a change in his attitude. He's become more outgoing and open to others; he's no longer afraid to speak his mind and I admire that.

"Arthur it's time to go, Jason already left heading to the field" Tyler punched my shoulder, letting out a small laugh.

"Yeah, I'm coming" we started running to catch up to Jason. We started to see the light at the end of the tunnel. As we exited we walked onto the field and we all noticed the crowd of pokemon in the bleachers above us.

"Welcome the second team to enter the field is the newly formed team Drake consisting of some fan favorites Arthur the Garchomp and Jason the Flygon, followed by the newcomer Tyler the Noivern!" The crowd cheered as we entered. I even see some pokemon holding posters of me and Jason. "Little background info on Arthur he is ranked 18th in the school as a fighter and in individual battles he can't be beat. Background info on Jason: he competed in the Grand festival and made it to the semi-finals and he is known as the prince of lava. Background info on Tyler: he competed in the well known Holy Road tournament and won, but recently lost a 1 on 1 battle to the lava prince" we looked to Tyler in pity that they would put him out there like that.

"Tyler, don't worry they'll see that you've been training" I tried to reassure him. Luckily he didn't shrug me off and Jason just gave me a glare.

"Anyway let's begin the battle, ready, Fight!" In an instant the battle started. Jason went charging in on Polo and that was the smartest move. Polo is Dusty and Penma's cover for when they attack. Also Jason's speed is unmatched when it comes to others at the school. Tyler already started making a cyclone around the stadium. Which messes with Penma's movement in the air.I dug my way underground and made my way towards Dusty and sent him flying up with an uppercut, but I wasn't down; I went charging up at him with a Dragon Rush. Now I was stuck in the air and I noticed Polo being smashed down in the ground.

"Jason, switch!" Jason knew what I wanted instantly and we traded places I came crashing down using Dragon Rush as He went flying past me using Dragon claw. "Okay, Combo move overdraft" I threw Polo into the giant cyclone in the center of the field and the cyclone kept growing followed by an updraft. Jason threw Dusty in the powerful wind and Penma got sucked in. Now I covered my ears as Tyler then used Boomburst with the heavy wind and strong sound the updraft and cyclone got out of control and all of team Overheart was swirling in the cyclone.

"Why don't we turn up the heat" I saw Jason in his mega form and fun fact he has a special ability that allows him to gain synergy at an alarming rate. "Finishing move Lava burst!" Lava started spewing up from the ground and mixed with the cyclones and heavy gust, but that wasn't all Jason sent a small ball of that formed in his claw in the cyclone and I knew what would happen next. I quickly flew in and grabbed Tyler gaining a few burns here and there but not much and I could tell Tyler was alarmed. Soon a huge explosion went off and Lava exploded everywhere. Some started flying our direction and I was ready to take the heat but nothing happened but Tyler used Protect. To shield us from the lava.

"Winners! Team Drake and they are the fourth team today to Rank up to the Blue league!" Tyler got rid of the shield and the lava cooled off so Jason made his way over to us.

"What was that he could've got massively injured!" I yelled at Jason.

"If he stuck to the plan you wouldn't have to go in and save his ass" Jason stated bluntly.

"Sorry I can't remember a combo between the pokemon who hates me the most in 24 hours" Tyler stormed off before anything else could be said. I didn't even get to thank him for protecting us.

~Timeskip 6PM~

"Arthur are you excited I get to do a performance tonight!" Jason was jumping up and down while getting ready for the pokemon contest opening ceremony. He decided to wear a white button up, a red tie, red blazer, along with red pants.

" Yeah I'm ready to see you in action" I responded as I started to daydream about all the pokemon performing tonight.

"Hey!" I snap out of my daze.

"What?" I say as we start grabbing our things to leave.

"I know you were thinking about other pokemon, at least let me have you alone tonight" he says with a hint of lust in his voice. So if you don't know we're not actually dating, more like friends with benefits. Though he still has some resentment for Tyler for some reason. I'm ready to let bygones be bygones. I've learned some of the things I did two years ago weren't the best, but I still need to fix the problems I ran from. That's something I don't look forward to dealing with and it seems everyone still hates me. It didn't take long to get to the more common contest arena known as the floral arena. I saw Blaze and Tyler together and cleaned up pretty nicely. They looked like twins; they both dressed up as magicians and Tyler had a blue color scheme while Blaze had an Orange color scheme. Without hesitation Blaze dragged Tyler over to where Jason and I were.

" Hey Arthur, I guess you're here to see me win my first ribbon" I could see the cocky smirk form on his face. I looked down at Tyler and could tell he was trying to not make eye contact with me.

"Yeah, right" I say while lightly punching his arm.

"Who would win then?" Tyler asked very quietly though we all heard. I froze because I want to be on this guys nice list but I don't want to upset Jason either.

"I don't know, we will see tonight you guys" I walk off quickly finding my way inside the stadium. I don't want to think too much tonight, all I want is a calm relaxing night full of performances.

"Hey, Arthur over here!" I looked to my left and frowned instantly and frowned at what I saw. There was a flowery green dinosaur all dressed up.

"Hi Flora" I say a little shaky. Tonight is going to be a long night.
