Action: Okay my name is Action and I'm bringing you the second Arc of High School Daze which is Ferrum League Adventure. If you haven't read High School Daze please do I'll be making some references to it. Though for those of you returning to read this Arc there are some new characters added so I hope you like them.
Blaze: Like me I'm new.
Duke: Blaze come back Action isn't done yet. *Chases Blaze off stage*
Zack: This goes without saying, but you should read high school daze.
Action: Anyway, Tyler take it away, you're the star of the show.
Tyler: Action doesn't own pokemon or the music he references in today's chapter.
~Tyler's~
I opened my eyes and started shifting my body. I am so stiff. I started to move my head and realized I was leaning on James. I looked up at him and he was still asleep. I don't blame him, we've been on this plane for about nine hours. I started to stretch my arms, body, legs, and my wings. I looked out the window and could see an island coming into view and got really excited. I pulled out my mirror and looked at myself, my pelt was a little roughed up, but besides that, I was looking good. For the trip, I decided to wear my shiny Noibat shirt with sky blue shorts and my accessories are my crown necklace, my mega stone earring and delta stone earring on my right ear. I also decided to look down at my wrist and saw the devil symbol that was given to me thanks to Giratina. I looked over at my friends next to me and the row behind me and smiled. I'm ready to start another adventure with my best friends. Though I have a bit of time before we land so I pulled out my phone and headphones and played my playlist. The song Fódlin Winds came on while playing one of my mobile games. I sat playing the game for a while. It's called Evo Creo, then I heard a light ding and the intercom came on.
"Attention everyone we will be landing in the next ten minutes. If you would put your tray tables up and fasten your seatbelts" after the intercom went off I noticed my friends started to stir awake.
"We're almost here already? It didn't feel that long" Skye said while yawning and stretching. Then Gladion popped up from behind us.
"Speak for yourself, that was a long nine hours" both James and I laughed while Gladion smirked at Skye. As everyone was waking up, stretching and talking it didn't take too long for us to land and get to the baggage claim. When we got there we shuttled to get us to the school. Not surprising since the whole region is made up of the school.
"Tyler, are you excited we're all here and going to college together!" I looked over at Ashley, my cousin and let out a giggle.
"Though weren't you a fashion major before and you're still a model if I'm correct?" She gave me a nervous smile.
"Yeah, but that is more of a side thing" as if on cue someone in the airport noticed who she was.
"Hey, that's Ashley Ribbon!" I saw her panic.
"Hey, Glitz, babe it's time to head to the shuttle!" before Glitz had time to react Ashley dragged her on the shuttle. Not much later everyone was able to get their luggage except me.
"Tyler, the next bus doesn't come for half an hour if we miss this one. Should we wait for you?"James said as the rest of our friends were looking at me.
"Naw, I'll just meet you all there" I smiled.
"Okay, we'll wait for you at the gates" I gave James a quick kiss and they left. I sat and waited for my belongings for another fifteen minutes. I decided to sit near the escalator near the security waiting for the next shuttle. I didn't get to sit in my silence for long because I was approached by a shiny Noivern and a familiar-looking Nidoking.
"Hi, I'm Blaze" I looked to the Noivern and I was taken back. He was a rare species and shiny. "I couldn't help but leave you here because my friend Duke said he knew you" I looked at the Nidoking and smiled.
"Duke you just disappeared, where have you been?" he let out a peal of uneasy laughter.
"I guess Ashley didn't tell you I went back home to Johto and stayed there" I nodded understanding. "It's rare to see you alone, where are the others?" I chuckled.
"They took the shuttle while I was waiting for my stuff, so I'm waiting for the next one" I saw Duke look at Blaze.
"I can give you a ride, I was just picking up Duke" my eyes sparkled and turned orange. One thing I found out with my eye color always changing is it can happen with friends.
"Thank you that would mean a lot," I said with excitement. We made our way out to his car and we started talking and started getting understanding of each other. Blaze is a Freshman like the rest of my friends. He has a thing for fashion like I do but we made it clear we have different styles. He's clearly gay and told me some stories about his exes. Though one topic he won't talk about is family. We were almost at the school when he popped this question.
"Tyler, are you a Fighter, supporter or performer?" I looked at Blaze confused. " Duke, can you explain?" I turned to Duke who was in the backseat.
"Sure, Ferrum battle college primarily focuses on fighting which all students have to participate in, but there are two other sub-categories you can choose from. Which are you, supporter or performer" I was still a bit unclear?
" I'm sorry, but what are Performers and supporters" Blaze and Duke broke out in laughter.
"Supporters are pokemon who are support in legal pokemon matches, while performers are pokemon who compete for ribbons to get into the grand festival," Blaze said with a smug look.
"Oh, I guess I would just be a performer" I looked at Duke and he said.
" I thought so and anyway we're here" Blaze parked in the lot and we made our way to the gates. I saw a Flygon chatting with some new arrivals and I really hoped it wasn't who I thought was.
"Hey, Tyler we're over here!" I looked for the owner of the voice and it was Gladion. I ran up to him and my friends, not thinking if Blaze or Duke was behind me.
"What took you so long?" I looked over at Glitz and tried to give her an apologetic smile.
"Sorry everyone I gave him a ride here, sorry that I held him up" I turned around to see Blaze and Duke.
"Duke your back!" Ashley said as she and Glitz gave him a hug.
"I missed you both" Duke also trapped them in a hug.
"Guys, where's my boyfriend?" I asked not trying to ruin the moment.
Leaf and Skye stopped their lip lock and answered in unison " He's at the fountain near the hedges on the left" as soon as they finished their response they were back at it. I left heading in James's direction wondering where their senses went. As I made my way over I noticed how secluded the area was and that no one was around. I saw James sitting against the fountain sitting on the rim of it.
"Oh, Tyler I didn't expect you to come looking for me," he said with a slight glimmer in his eyes.
"Well, I wondered where you were," I said while I jumped in his arms.
"Maybe I wanted you to come and find me," James said with a light growl. I started to wrap my legs around his waist.
"I like where this is going" I started leaving a light trail of kisses along his neck. James's Growls started to become more and more feral. "You might want to keep it down, you don't want our classmates to find us" I started taking off my shirt.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
"Like you care if they see," he said with a smirk. I shut him up with a passionate kiss that became aggressive as time went on. We both wanted more though we couldn't with so many pokemon around. Though maybe we shouldn't have done what we did because later I found out someone was watching.
~Zack's~
After doing our little group standstill and meeting Duke and Blaze for the first time we made our way into what seemed to be the school's gym.
"Why need a gym when you have over sixteen different stadiums across the whole region," commented Leaf. I hit Leaf in the back of the head. " Bro, that hurt" he whined.
"Though the region is known for its battles this is a school and school needs the basic facilities and rules to be acknowledged as a school" I stated with smugness in my voice. As we entered we were each given a blue orb the size of a pit in a cherry and we were told we will need it for the freshman briefing. We all sat down in the highrises and waited for the briefing to start. I looked around and saw everyone still had their luggage meaning no one got to their dorms yet. Though I didn't have enough time to ponder the situation because a Mewtwo was holding a mic in the center of the gym he seemed to be wearing basic clothes though he had a monocle.
"Hello everyone I'm Dean Mewtwo but please call me MT. Right now I am not going to do the briefing about teams and the subcategories of Fighters, supporters, and performers. Right now let's talk about those orbs given to you. They are going to be your best friend in the Ferrum region. They are communicators, GPS trackers, messengers, and you can even lookup other students' data. They can do more but I'll let you find that out on your own. For now, I'll show you how to operate it and customize it. First, speak your full name into it and then you can make it become what you want, mine is in the form of a monocle as you see right now. The room started erupting with chatter.
"Zack Knight Horn" my orb showed me a holo screen with my face on it with some other information about.
A/N: So if you ever played pokemon X or Y you know when you get messages from your rivals or the pressor that's what the screen looks like.
It then asked me what I want to carry it as and since I'm a zoroark I said a hair tie. Tyler chose another earring, Leaf chose a feather, Skye chose a tail ring, James chose a hoverboard, Gladion chose a pocket notebook, Ashley chose a bowtie, Glitz chose a wristwatch, Duke chose a longboard, and Blaze chose an earpiece. It's so cool how they just become accustomed to their user like this.
"They are now stuck in the form you asked them to be in. Now to get you to your dorms. If you say ' room number' then your name, it will tell you where your room is. You will learn all the user commands as you go, now you are dismissed, be back here in two hours" Everyone got up and left.
"Hey, guys, who are your roommates?" Ashley asked, all peppy. "I'm with my favorite girl Glitz" I looked at Glitz. She had an uneasy face which turned to a fake smile. I know slight uncertainty but it's not my job to go into others business.
"I'm roomed up with Duke, and Zack" I let out a sigh as I looked to leaf.
"I don't have a roommate," Tyler and Blaze said.
"I'm roomed with Gladion," James said.
"I'm roomed with a girl named Nelly.
"We'll meet back here thirty minutes before the briefing," Tyler said with Joy before he ran off.
~Tyler's~
I made it to my dorm quickly and you have to use your orb to get in. When I opened the door I was surprised to see it was that the room was bigger than my room and I had the second biggest room in my house.
"Orb, why do I not get a roommate?" My Orb showed me it's screen and read me the information.
"Rare pokemon Species are to be protected and monitored by the school so they are put in the secret building where rare pokemon can come in" I was confused because if that's the case Gladion should be here. I'll ask about it later. I start decorating the room with my drawings and posters from back home.
"Orb, can you play music?" the orb flickered as it transformed more into what seemed like a phone.
"Yes, and I have access to all of your data. Meaning I know everything you like," my mouth was hanging open as I listened.
"Okay, then play my playlist on shuffle" I placed my Orb on my bed as it started playing Say So by Doja Cat. I started singing as I was putting together my stuff to make animation videos. As a parting gift my parents and my brother got me a new laptop and art pad. So why not make videos and post my art.
"Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment. I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so?" I was getting so into it I couldn't help but dance. "Didn't even notice, no punches left to roll with. You got to keep me focused, you want it, say so" Though it stopped abruptly when I heard a knock on the door.
" Orb, turn off music and back to earring" in a flash it became my third earring and turned off the music and I went to open the door.
"So you have more to you than being timid and joyful" I was surprised to see Blaze outside my door.
"What are you doing here and what do you mean?" I asked in shock.
"I'm here to see my new neighbor before the freshman briefing and you have a party side" I saw him look behind me looking into my room, I blushed. "You're also into art" he said with smugness in his tone.
"Are you here to make me flustered or for something else" I couldn't look him in the eyes.
"Well they said there are only Noiverns on this floor and since my room is closest to yours, I brought a gift" I then noticed a box he was holding in his hands. I took it from him and opened it. I almost squealed when I opened it. Inside were many different fur dyes and fur products.
"I knew you would like it Noiverns take pride in how their scales and fur look and you are no exception" I put the box on my desk and gave him a hug. I don't know why I did, I barely know him.
" Hey let's put some in mine right now" I invited him inside. "We have another forty-five minutes before we have to get back to the gym. I looked to Blaze and it seemed like he was debating something.
"Okay, what color?" I looked at all twenty colors.
"Let's do Orange first" I grabbed two desk chairs and sat in one while Blaze grabbed the dye. "Do all of my fur orange" he nodded as he sat down puting the dye on my fur.
"Do you do your fur?" I felt like that was a stupid question.
"Only when there is a special event going on" I nodded understanding. Before I left the elemental region I undid my fur thinking it was unnatural for my type of species to be doing something like that. We started chatting about what we did before we came here.
"Okay I finished the orange, anything else?" I gave him a smile.
"Um, now can you grab the dark red and put it on the ends of the fur to make my fur look like it's a fire" He grabbed the red dye and started applying four inches from the end. My fur is only ten inches long.
"So you really won Holy Road, you don't strike me as a fighter" I giggled at Blaze's comment.
"I'm not but thanks to my powers gifted to me I was able to win" I could see Blaze give me a confused look. " I have a mega form, a delta form, and a devil form" I saw Blaze's mouth make an 'O'.
"Wow I can only use delta and where did you get devil form" I knew this was going to be a long story.
~Timeskip to Briefing~
"I'm amazed you can wield Giratina's power" Blaze and I sat down next to our friends. He was able to complete my fur and put it in seven separate braids and left a little tuft of fur in the center of my neck.
"Okay now that you are back let's talk about your teams" we looked at dean MT. "Your Orbs already have your team members and their data and remember you're stuck with this team for the whole year. You cannot change. Now, Orbs, reveal teams" all students Orbs showed screens with three pokemon on them.
"Alright I'm on a team with Skye and Glitz" I looked over to see a happy Leaf.
" I'm with Blaze and Gladion" I looked at Ashley.
"Seems like I got Duke and Zack" James didn't look happy.
"Hey Tyler, Who did you get?" Glitz tried to look at my screen.
"I got-" I got cut off by the dean and I took the chance to turn off my Orb.
"Now that you know your teammates let's get you in your subcategories" Two banners dropped down behind him. One had a ribbon while the other had a medal. " The ribbon represents performers and the medal represents supporters. Those who just plan to be fighters stay in the bleachers. People around us were starting to get up.
"James do you plan to be a fighter?" I looked at my boyfriend as he looked down in my eyes. He lowered down to my height and trapped me in his wings.
"Yeah, and you're going to be a performer?" I blushed as I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah" he let me out of his wings and our friends group dispersed. Ashley, Blaze and I chose Performers. Skye, Zack, Glitz and Duke chose to be supporters. James, Leaf and Gladion stayed up in the Bleachers.
"Okay, your Orbs have automatically set your groups and you will now be given a schedule based upon what you chose. Now let's explain the rules of how the league works"
~Timeskip to After Briefing~
We all were leaving the gym heading to our dorm rooms. The rules were basic, once we complete our month of basic classes in fighting and our subcategories we will be able to compete in league matches to qualify to be a part of the Chroma League tournament. Though you have to compete in the three leagues before that. The winners of the Chroma League are known as this year's Iron champs and get to fight last year's Iron champs. Though that's not all for me I get to perform in contests held all throughout the region and have to come up with routine and fight with elegance.
"Hey Tyler, you alright?" I snapped out of my daze and looked to Blaze.
"Yeah, I'm alright. Why?" Blaze gave me a cheeky smile.
"Just wanted to let you know if you need anything I'm across the hall" I saw him enter his room and I was shocked. He told me his room was nearby but not that close. I entered my room and plopped down on my bed. I started going through my orb and how my schedule was looking for the next month when I got a message from a pokemon I didn't know. I opened it and realized it was a message to the whole school.
Orb read it to me: " Tonight Party in the main Ferrum stadium" I closed it and looked at the time. It was one in the afternoon and I was quite tired. Though before I went to sleep I started to think about how exciting college would be, but my teammates are Arthur and Jason.
Action: That's a nice way to end chapter one and a great way to introduce my new favorite child Blaze.
Blaze: Thank you very much.
Tyler: Time to go through the pain train again.
Action: Oh yeah, I also did so rescripting from the original plan and this story maybe longer than High School Daze.
Arthur: Arceus F*ck no! Why did I sign up for this shit!
Action: It's part of your contract.
Leaf & Zack: you don't hear us complaining it's not even that bad here.
James: I actually agree with Arthur.
Action: No one cares, anyway don't forget to fav, follow, and review. Also if you have any questions or comments don't be afraid to post one.
Skye: Byeeee!
