Poke-people: Chapter 2: Your first Exam

[grasssnake485]

((there are 6 targets. No matter how well you hit one target, it only counts as one. And Murdoc, Draco doesnt exactly master dragon type, he does psudeos. Metagross, Garchomp, Goodra, )

Grace stuffed her things into her bag and hurried off to lunch.

(really short post because i dont have time)

((Fixed like a boss))

Jake grabbed his Deino and went to lunch quickly, his stomach growling loudly. He reached the lunchroom despite Deino struggling fiercely as it wished to taste a loose carpet rag. Jake got to lunch and got as much food as possible for himself and his pokemon, especially Deino, who despite size, had a greater appetite than Jake.

[grasssnake485]

Grace eyed Jake. Wasn't he taking a little too much food? She knew that most deino had a huge appetite, but she honestly didnt think a deino could eat that much. Even if his other pokemon were helping. She called her pokemon, who were trying to sneak food away from the lunchlines, over the their table.

Sarcus walked up to Grace, lunch in hand. "Y'know, it's generally considered polite to return telepathic messages. I've never been a big fan of being ignored," Sarcus huffed. He sat down at the table and started distributing his food to his team. Absolution started eating calmly along with Gallant and Beldum (though how the latter did so remains a mystery), but Blues viciously cut the food to pieces before eating.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake scanned the cafeteria for his friends and of course noticed Grace's pokemon stealing food like usual... He sat down next to his friends once he found them and watched Sarcus glare at Grace about something before he tapped on his shoulder, Deino and his other pokemon were eating away viciously and Jake grabbed a banana before his pokemon would've eaten all the food and the single banana too.

[Chevaleresse]

Sarcus turned to face Jake. "What?" he asked curtly.

[grasssnake485]

"You do know that i dont exactly know how that works, do you?" Grace said, annoyed. "Im always scared Im going to mess up and broadcast the message to the entire class. And sure, Angel needs some practice too." She cut up some berries and dumped them on her floette's plate. Angel was already chowing down.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake put on his usual smug look

"Hi, what's with the hard stares? You want to kill her too?"

Jake snickered along with his pokemon, all except for Deino who was stuffing his face with food.

"If I could I would take a chance to get her back for all the trouble she's caused me!"

Jake muttered a thought about Grace to himself.

"Why are you always happier than the rest of us d*** you... You're the reason I'm still in this school getting in trouble... And you're worried about getting an answer wrong..."

He smugly took a nip at his banana

Sarcus gave Jake an intimidating stare, irritated further by his attitude. He took a breath, and turned back to Grace. "My question still stands, though. Up for it?"

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake quickly backed away flinching from Sarcus and sighed heavily hoping his other fear hadn't been discovered, yeah needles were scary but he instantly regretted his joke to Sarcus, although he was great at hiding it he hid a timid side of him somewhere in his original two moods he had before he had developed mood swinging. His original two moods being a darker, more reclusive angry one and the other a lighter, more timid and desirable mood. He continued to eat hoping Sarcus wouldn't talk to him any more.

[grasssnake485]

"Yeah, sure." Grace took a bite of her sandwich, and replied, "Same time and place as last time?"

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake eavesdropped on their conversation in interest by laying his head low and ate slowly.

He heard something about a secret apparently. Doing something again, in the same place. He didn't know what to make of it because he was missing a lot of facts. The first thing that came to his mind was maybe they had to redo a project or something, but that didn't seem logical. They had their exam coming and no projects had been assigned. And there were no thoughts that came to his head from there except one that seemed very faint but played out into a well remembered memory finally. He had remembered the time 7 months ago he had ruined his friends battle and that seemed like the only logical thought besides maybe they were going to rematch to an eating contest. Nobody was that serious unless they meant business and he messed up bad those long 7 months ago by not attempting to stop sneasel and houndour, the two wild rogue pokemon, and after hard consideration he knew that had to be the only resolution. And since they had definently said in the same place he knew exactly what they meant, and this time he'd watch from a different place and control his pokemon, it was also a golden opportunity to teach discipline to them, especially Deino. He whispered to his pokemon what was going on and he assured them 3 times the punishment for ruining the battle would be brutal, as in no lunch the next day and Deino for once listened and agreed. It loved lunch dearly after all. Jake stopped the eavesdropping and returned to eating his banana happily.

[Chevaleresse]

"Good. I'll meet you there, then." Sarcus collected his team, who had mostly finished their meals, and headed toward the practice fields. He recalled the last time they had battled clearly. I still don't understand how Jake was acting that day. He seems like an okay guy most of the time, albeit being annoying as hell, but that day. . . that day was insane. He remembered Emerald coming upon him after the fact, when the stress of the moment had gotten to him. I have to prove her wrong, he thought, expression hardening without his awareness. Students that he passed shied away from him slightly, to his confusion. Sarcus realized what his face probably looked like at that moment, and he tried to arrange his features into a less threatening configuration.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake grabbed his Deino and was followed by the rest of his team as he vigorously grunted a laugh at the fact that he would get to see some action. Maybe at the very end Jake would posses a tree with his spirit bind and scare them, then he thought again and reconsidered after what had happened last time. Then from that moment Jake kind of realized he's been a bit annoying and or mean to his friends and his mood quickly changed to a silent cold hearted mood. He walked down the hall staring heartlessly. (not angrily, it's hard to describe my stare) he avoided all eye contact with other people and continued to his locker to get his stuff for the next period, now he reconsidered ever making a joke to Sarcus again after the look Sarcus had given him. He'd even reconsidered going to watch the battle. He frowned and continued, letting his long sleeves pass his hands, hiding them from view and letting then fall to his sides depressingly.

After finally getting her honedge to calm down from hearing about a battle, Grace rumaged through her backpack looking for her shiny stone. Its going to take me weeks to pay Dad back for this, she thought. Holding it out to her floette, "You wanna evolve? You dont have to if you dont want to." Sakura ignored her second comment and happily touched it. Both the stone and the pokemon glowed, then merged together as the floette transformed permanently into a florges. Grace and her three pokemon then sprinted quickly to catch up to Sarcus.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

As jake depressingly stumbled along he crashed into Sarcus and some other boy, but continued to slowly stumble along in deep sadness, he even watched Grace run by and he didn't stop to say a word to her. He continued down the hall until he heard the other boy he'd crashed into yell out at him in anger.

"HEY! YOU! COME HERE! I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON!"

Jake slowly turned and his already heart stabbing lay sad gaze grew even sadder, so badly that even the commercials about dogs in shelters with the sad music in the background seemed like nothing compared to his gaze. The boy ran up to Jake angrily fist balled and he appeared to be preparing to punch him viciously.

[Chevaleresse]

Sarcus stumbled when Jake crashed into him. He turned angrily, but stopped in his tracks when he saw the expression on Jake's face, anger fading. The younger boy lurched past him, down the hall.

"HEY! YOU! COME HERE! I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON!"

Sarcus saw another person he didn't know run up to Jake, fist moving forward. Sarcus leapt forward, enhancing his speed with telekinesis. The trainer struck the angry student squarely under the jaw, lifting him slightly and tossing him onto his back. Sarcus planted his foot on the trainer's chest. "The hell is your problem?" he started, before realizing the younger trainer wasn't moving all that much. The flattened student merely replied with a groan. He startled himself upon closer examination of the stricken boy. "Didn't mean to hit him that hard. . ." he trailed, looking at Jake and Grace.

((I'll let you decide how badly the kid is hurt, grasssnake.))

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

"Sarcus... Was that really necessary? I think he's out cold..."

Jake muttered in near silence.

"Oh well, he overreacted a bit anyways... At least i don't have a black eye... And wait... Sarcus if you're so angry with me and all... Why did you help me?"

Jake's gaze slightly softened from the deep sadness and his voice picked up slightly as he stated his last words of the sentence once he had realized what Sarcus had done despite the fact the kid might've been seriously hurt...

[Chevaleresse]

"I can't stand seeing someone feeling that way, especially if I caused it. It's also not right to attack someone out of the blue like that, and it was pretty obvious that he wasn't joking around," Sarcus said seriously. He returned his attention to the boy he had injured.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as his sad expression disappeared at Sarcus's words. Clearly he cared enough to help him.

"Well, thank you Sarcus!"

Jake took the oppurtunity to make a quick mischievous joke and leave it at that.

"Now would for ONCE be a good time for you to be around Grace!"

Jake looked down at the boy and went to work. His mother was a nurse and he knew a large amount of bodily functions.

"Well Sarcus judging by your attack it seems you'd have done quite the toll of damage... It seems the slug you gave him rattled his brain a bit and it hit the front of his skull most likely and knocked him out. No telling how bad it is though..."

Jake got up and signaled Grace to come over and help with bodily motions.

[grasssnake485]

Grace rolled her eyes. "Hey, Im not a healing machine at a pokemon center," she retorted, but she bent down and got to work anyway.

Minutes later, the boy was up and yelling again, and this time he was onto all three of them. "HEY, WHAT'CHA DO THAT FOR?! DARE TAKE A STEP CLOSER AND I'LL PUMMEL YOU ALL!!"

"I'd like to see you try to hit us at all." Grace replied cooly, and stepped forward. She raised her hand and spread her fingers, creating a rippling effect that spread into a bubble around the three. "Touch this, and you'll be thrown backwards" Tossing her hair, she stepped out the door with Jake and Sarcus in tow.

[Chevaleresse]

Before leaving the scene, he turned back to the angry student. "Are you really that stupid?" Without waiting for an answer, Sarcus turned back around, exiting the building. He walked to the far side of one of the practice fields. He waved at Gallant. You're up first. Remember what we drilled on. The Pokemon nodded, and took up a fighting stance.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake looked back at the boy with his hands behind his head and calmly stated

"I know every pressure point in your body from you Achilles' tendon to your clavicle. I could stun your body... And I know a thing of two about dodging..."

Jake turned to Grace and shortly exclaimed

"You're a real goody two shoes you know that? and all but that guy *points to the boy* is NOT! I figured you'd have might not heal him but I guessed wrong. You're a lot better off than I am for sure, I could learn a thing or two about being "nice" from you..."

"But first..." He laughed. "I wanna have some fun!"

Jake then caused a small orb to emerge from the boy and he moved his hand, as he moved it he put the small ball inside a locker, he then took it out and put it back into the boy and he jolted up, screamed, and ran off.

"Spirit bind, one of my favorites... Hehehe..."

He then playfully stated

"Smell ya later!"

He turned back, smiled, and laughed at the thought of how nice she was, and he walked after Sarcus to the feild. He could use some training too. Maybe he could get Sarcus to have a short teaching session with him, he could maybe teach him some discipline, it was something he and his pokemon hadn't practiced on having.

(??? Spirit bind doesnt work on you. It binds the target to an inanimate object for as long as you want.)

Grace called her honedge forward. "I'll be starting with honedge then." Though the sword pokemon was inferior in every way to Gallant, she was determined to not lose. After all, she had one less pokemon than Sarcus. "You wanna go first, or should I?"

[Chevaleresse]

"I'll go." He looked at Gallant, and nodded. Psycho Cut, he ordered. The Pokemon's arm blades extended and began glowing as he rushed forward at the Honedge.
