*A Rhythmic tune of bells filled the room*

I subtly opened my black eyes and allowed my red pupils to adjust to the glowing, vibrating rectangular object. I grabbed my phone and turned off my alarm.

I shifted off my bed and hovered close to my carpet (as I tend to do) and made my way to the bathroom connected to my room while my tail dragged behind me. I entered the bathroom and the lights turned on (the light switch was on automatic).

I looked into the mirror to see if anything has changed... Nope, still black, purple, and blue. Still have six wings... still a Hydreigon.

I quickly finished my bathroom rituals and went back to my room. I grabbed my phone and saw that I had an unread message from my girlfriend. This was a little unusual, since I didn't get a 'Good Morning' text unless we had something planned for that day.

I opened the message to see what she sent. Turns out that all she texted was that she wasn't going to be at school today. I just shot her back an 'ok'. As I gathered my stuff for school I started to wonder... 'Why isn't she coming today?' I reached for my phone to ask her.

"Bastion! Breakfast sweetie." A womanly voice called.

"Coming!"

I grabbed my phone and stuff then headed downstairs. I don't have formal breakfast on school mornings even though I have thirty minutes 'til the bus comes and it's Thursday... strange.

I entered the kitchen and there was a faint smell of pancakes... or waffles, they both smell the same to me.

I heard the T.V. a few feet away it was on the News, and apparently was going to be normal today.

There was a small stack of pancakes across from my mom at the table, she also was a Hydreigon, but with normal purple eyes. My red eyes came from my Dad whose orange back was turned to us as he cooked on the stove. I can tell that he was frustrated by the way his tail twitched and his tail flame flickered.

I gave my mom a quizzical look.

"Your father claims he can make pancakes better than me," She snickered.

I started to smell a hint of burning.

This made mom snicker harder and my dad's tail flame grew hotter.

"Eat your breakfast and I'll drive you to school today," Mom said.

I nodded and ate swiftly.

[Later]

Mom pulled up at the school's courtyard.

"Have a good day~!" Mom sung as I left the car.

"You too," I called back.

She drove off and I turned to face the high school population. Everyone was divided into groups. Occupying s different table, tree, or spot on the grass. You had 'mons listening to music, playing card games, couples paired up, and not to mention the other half of the student body in the cafeteria or library getting work done.

*BRRRIINNGG*

The bell rung and everyone systematically got up and filed in through one of the four doors of the front of the school.

"Well off to first period," I said as I hovered over to join the masses. Some 'mons find the whole floating aspect strange, I guess I don't see why cause it's natural to me whenever I'm not 'flying'. What I can understand is 'mons finding my 'hands' a bit weird, cause technically I have three heads, but I use the minor two as hands since I don't swallow or talk from them. Just think if your hands had tongues that- WOW I can see how 'mons find it weird. I guess they make good puppets; their teeth aren't sharp enough to draw blood but can hurt.

I made it under my sky locker and flew up a story to get to it. Sky lockers are just lockers put high up to reduce hallway traffic, mostly assigned to flyers however I do see some agile 'mons using sky lockers. The school would never assign them to the 'mons because it's a safety hazard, but since all you have to do is put a lock on a locker to call it yours. Oh well.

I made my way to first period "Battle history". Just a class about war battles, significant move combinations, strategies, and significant tournament wins or losses. Personally, I like the instructor more than the actual work.

I 'walked' into the big auditorium classroom and took a seat at the left side of the middle row. The class quickly and noisily filled in the remaining seats. The bell rand and everyone started to quiet down.

The teacher has this way of opening class were if he's not here his mug wouldn't be on his desk; if he wasn't feeling it or we weren't doing anything fun he would be sitting at his desk, but his mug of coffee is on his desk and it's hot. This means he is going to make another grand entrance. However, he waits until the class is quiet or five minutes after the bell to reveal his self. You DON'T want him to wait five minutes. The class went silent probably not to experience the five minute wrath (again).

...

A cloud of mist appeared, but no one was surprised, until water shrunken came flying at the whole class. I had braced myself, but felt nothing but small droplets. I put my guard down to see that everyone was just as surprised as me.

"That class," A voice said from the top of the room getting everybody's attention. "Is a distraction turned into an illusion," Mr.Gekk stated as he walked down the middle staircase of the classroom with his hands behind his back. He was a Greninja who I never saw wear his tongue in a scarf fashion.

"Today we're learning about distractions and illusions, common techniques that may be the difference between win or lose," he continued as he reached the bottom of the stairs and headed toward his desk. "Notes Children," He called and the class was filled with a symphony of paper flipping as myself and most of the class pulled out our notebooks and prepared to write his next words.

"The basic definition of Distraction is: To draw attention. Illusion: To trick the mind or your senses. Dark and Fairy types are naturally proficient in doing this." He stated while glancing at me and a few other Dark and Fairy types in the class.

The Banette shot his hand up and began to speak, "What about ghost types!"

"Ah ghost types are good at illusions but not distraction, not like your Dark type cousins who are renowned tricksters." Mr.Gekk answered.

The Banette put his hand down looking dissatisfied with the answer. I guess it will be further explained in the lesson.

A Bibarel raised his hand.

"Yes?" Mr.Gekk acknowledged.

"What about psychics?"

"Not bad at distractions, however too many variables when it comes to illusions. They directly attack the mind instead of using outside trickery. Which means their effectiveness depends on the victim. So if the victim's mind is too dense and/or ignorant it will fail."

"That means you're safe Jamir!" Braixen shouted to a Nidorino making the class erupt in a short laugh.

"*ehem* if the victim's mind is critical and calculating it will also fail. If it's psychic vs psychic then one psychic has to have double the mind strength for it to work; on top of that this effect won't work on a Dark type." Mr. Gekk finished.

... It seems like the class didn't have any more questions.

"Alright class time to learn a bit more."

Mr.Gekk then pulled up pictures and page numbers from his computer, that's being projected onto his board as he turned off his lights so that everyone can see better.

It was just definitions and quick reads, just for notes and understanding. He then froze the screen and I think silently took attendance on the school's computer, just by the way he looked around.

Not even five minutes went by and I looked around and saw people already asleep and some sneaking to eat food. Even though Mr.Gekk was sipping his drink and attending to role I think he could tell. You know being a Dark type and a Gren-

"Bastion." Mr.Gekk called.

"Y-yes sir?" I jumped

"Where's Sace?"

"Umm... I don't know."

"Hmm..."

I guess he just typed her up as absent. Which reminds me, I was going to ask her why she decided not to come today, then again I bet it's nothing but it might be something. I shouldn't worry I'll just text her later. I need to get most of these notes down.

...

*Click*

The lights flashed on and I wasn't ready! Neither was most of the class, as I saw groggy heads lift up and one or two hoods being lifted, since some pokemon chose to wear clothes as accessories, but they didn't really need it.

"Alright last five minutes of class, study because tomorrow we're going to have demonstrations and EVERYONE will participate." Mr.Gekk closed.

Tomorrow?! I understand the concept but I don't think I have a 'distracting' or 'illusionary' move, plus I don't think he'll be easy on me since I'm a Dark type.

*BRRRRRINNGG*

The crowd filed out with me in the mix, but I sense this feeling of eyes on me. I glanced back and was met with Mr.Gekk's eyes. He looked as if he wanted to tell me something. I kept moving...

I flew to my locker put my stuff in, went back to ground level, then proceeded to make my way to the other side of campus. Until I heared this muffled rolling sound.

I subconsciously knew who it was so I continued moving, he would catch up.

As the sound got closer and closer, I lowered my tail to allow access.

The object rolled up my tail and came to a gentle stop on my back. The sphere uncurled and I felt the fleece of a hoodie pressed against me.

"Yo Bastion," The Sandshrew wearing a red hoodie greeted as he put his claws behind his head and lounged on my back.

"Hey Qill, still enjoying your first year?"

"Yes, for the a-thousandth time," Qill Retort.

Qill was a sophomore, but he looked like a freshmen. He came from a different school two months ago.

"Sorry, I guess it's a hab-"

"Where's Sace?" He cut in and looked around.

Well isn't that the question of the dat...

"I don't know, she said she wasn't going to be here,"

"Why?"

"I don't know," I repeated irritated.

"Did you ask?"

"Uhh... no?"

"Really? Think you should know being her boyfriend and all."

He has a point, I'll text her when I get to the next class with Qill. Which is "Physical training."

I pushed past the gymnasium doors and entered the... let's just say that gigantic wasn't doing this gym justice. This gym made me feel like Durant and I can't imagine how a Durant would actually feel. Well I guess it has to be this way to fit the whole school in here for assemblies.

Qill hopped off my back and walked along side me. The gym was littered with 'mons of all shapes, sizes, and textures from skin, scales, fur, metal, bone, and even... uh... goo? It seemed everyone was already in class.

Qill and I scanned the room until we found our red friend sitting on the bleachers on his phone; we went up to him.

"Yo Nylon," Qill greeted the flareon.

"Hey Qill, Bastion," Nylon said as he looked up from his phone.

Nylon was a pretty laid back guy, well whenever his temper didn't get the best of him. Heck the most I ever hear him talk is whenever he's uhh 'passionate' about something.

"Where's Sace?" Qill asked.

"She texted me saying she wasn't coming today," Nylon replied.

"Do you know why?"

"Nope"

"Why not? You're her cousin. You're just as bad as him." Qill playfully pointed to me.

"Well I guess you can ask her tomorrow," Nylon said as he went back to his phone.

Which reminds me to text her... again! I went to reach for my bag until a loud deafening whistle blew followed by a chilling breeze stopped me mid motion.

The gym went dead silent and everyone attention went to center court. As Coach Berry stood whistle in mouth with a bag of sports balls and other items in his hand.

The whistle fell out of his mouth and hung around his neck. The Abomasnow scanned the room, I guess to see if he had everyone's attention.

"FREELANCE!" He yelled dropping the equipment and walking toward his office. As soon as everyone heard his door shut the silence was broken, chatter once again filled the room as well as a stampede of students heading down the bleachers and grabbing equipment for their organized games.

In gym whenever Coach Berry did not have a specific activity for us to do, we have a free period.

"So what should we do now?" Qill stated.

"We?" Nylon said coldly

"Oh so you plan on being that guy again today!"

Nylon shrugged.

"Fine, Bastion have fun with the blanket, Imma go play something." Qill said as he made his way down the bleachers. I just nodded.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"I just don't feel like wasting energy today," Nylon said as he pulled out a book.

It was a yellow paperback TM Book titled Electric.

"Oh studying for last period?"

"Yeah"

"Which move?"

He turned the book to me; it was flipped to the end pages. The words in bold read 'Wild Charge' followed by instructions and diagrams.

"How's that going?"

"I'm struggling a bit. I can't really keep the sparks consistent," Nylon explained as he turned the book to himself, "Maybe Sace could help me."

A bell rang in my head.

"Oh yeah! That reminds me t-"

"To text Sace" Nylon completed my sentence.

I reached in my bag and pulled out my phone. I unlocked it-

*WHAAMM!*

Whatever hit me in the back of my head made me lunge forward. I almost lost my grip on my phone.

I rubbed the assaulted region with my free hand. Gasps and 'ooo's could be heard on our side of the gym. I looked and saw a red rubber ball, most likely what hit me.

I heard footsteps hurrying to my position, I turned and was met with a steel exterior who towered over me.

The figure grabbed the ball and spoke.

"Sorry dude are you alright?" The Aggron said, "You cool?"

"Y-yeah just a ball," I rubbed my head.

"yo the ball?" A voice called.

The Aggron threw the ball toward the voice then spotted Nylon.

"Nylon right?" The Aggron asked.

"Ryon, Football team, free safety, big team player, solid B average, very quickly for your size, and currently single," Nylon replied in a dry tone.

Ryon and I were in shock at Nylon.

"H-how do you-" Ryon started

"I loss to you last year, second round of the school tournament, which is coming up in a month," Nylon finished.

"Oh yeah I remember, hehe no hard feelings. I loss right before semi-finals," Ryon said with a slight laugh.

...

The mood grew awkward.

"Well uh, you alright uh-"

"His name is Bastion," Nylon informed Ryon.

"Yeah *ehem* right I'll see you guys around," Ryon said as he took his leave.

After Ryon was back with his group Nylon roughly shoved his book in his bag.

"Know your enemy... I need to find another move." Nylon griped

"Huh?" I questioned.

"Electric won't work on him."

"What if you're paired against a water type?"

"What if I'm paired against him again?"

He had a point.

"I'm not giving up on the move, just postponing it," Nylon explained.

"Do you still want to join the Aces?"

"Ha!" Qill comeback a bit winded. " I have a better chance than you Nylon in making tryouts, No offense."

"And why is that!" Nylon Snarled.

"Qill and Nylon had a drawn out 'discussion' about typing and variety. They always have fights like this.

Aces are basically another Club or Sport at our school; it's centered on fighting. They have many different fighting events they compete in, but the club is pretty much invitation only. You either have to get scouted at a school tournament or know somebody.

Personally I enjoy watching middle school tournaments. You really can tell who can be great and who needs more practice.

"We can go!" Qill challenged.

"Yeah in the tournament. That'll give you enough time to practice!" Nylon answered.

"The Fu- WHY are you STALLING!"

"If you're not good enough to make it far then, why should I fight you."

"Make it far?! Last time I checked 2nd round isn't far at all!"

"Then it shouldn't be a problem for you."

The bell rang signaling that the period had come to an end. Students began to file out of the gym.

"Fine I'll join the dumb tournament, just to kick your ass and nothing more," Qill stated as he walked off.

Nylon and I got up and walked through the gym doors. After we entered the hallways we parted ways when the hallways forked.

...

I just got out of my science class, I forgot what kind of science it was because we talk about everything and some days we talk about nothing. It's a co-ed class and our teachers are best friends. There's Mr.Green a Heatmor and Mr.Zan a Sceptile. They're both quite nerdy and great teachers, even though I don't know what I'm learning, I sure was learning it.

I arrived at the lunchroom and decided today was an outside day, so I took my lunch and joined the outside population. I found and sat at an open table and was quickly accompanied by my red hooded friend.

"Hey Qill."

"Ya hey," he said tiredly as he pulled off his hood.

"Had a nice sleep?" I chuckled.

"Hehe well I'm up now. I guess gym just got me a bit tired."

Someone pulled up a chair at our table.

"Hey guys what's up?" The female Arcanine greeted.

"Hey Tair," I answered.

"Looks like the lunch table is here, well... minus one," Qill stated.

"Yeah I know people have been asking me all day where she is," Tair mentioned.

Tair is Sace's best friend and go way back, from what I know. She always had a part of her silky fur braided; it was different and really cute on her.

"Bastion have you been talking to her?"

Damn this is getting repetitive!

"I'm actually going to text her right no-" I was cut off from by an eruption sound behind me and the people from outside starting to run toward the lunch room.

"Oh cool a fight!" Qill exclaimed as he jumped from his chair and literally bolted on all fours into the crowd.

From where I was all I could see through the glass was fire and electric attacks, food flying, and a chair or two.

"Oh that reminds me," Tair said bringing my attention back to the table. "Do you think I should ask Sace to partner with me again for the tournament this year?" She said a bit down.

I was confused why she was asking that. "I don't see why not. You guys did great last year! Making it out of divisions and finishing at semi-finals is nothing to sneeze at," I assured.

The tournament starts by splits teams up into divisions. The division splits are usually by gender (if a team consist of a male and female then they will be put into the boys division.) were teams fight each other until there is only 32 teams left then those 32 teams will be put into the final bracket were they fight to be champion.

"Yeah but I'm the reason we loss though Bastion," Tair ears flatted on her head, "You should have seen the look in her eyes, full of anger and frustration and we both knew it was my fault."

"Cmon now," Qill entered back into the conversation, "You guys lost to Ace members, made it to semi-finals and won the girls trophy for being the last female in the tournament. You guys had a lot of fans and Sace was really happy when you both received that trophy."

"Ahaha wow I kinda forgot that happened," Tair ears perked up a bit.

"Oh and don't forget about the extra attention you got from some of the guys the next few weeks after," Qill playfully nudged her.

"Okay okay it wasn't all bad," Tair laughed as she pushed Qill.

The bell started to ring.

"Alright guys hehe see you guys later," Tair took her leave.

I guess it's time for me to go my last class too.

"Actually Bastion wait up a sec," Qill stopped me, "You free this weekend?"

"Uhh yeah I beli-"

"Good! Saturday, noon?"

I just smiled and nodded.

"'kay cool see ya!" Qill then curled into a sand colored ball (you know with a red hoodie on) and rolled away.

My last class is 'Technical Machine engineering'. I quickly flew to my locker grabbed my TM Book: Dark. I went to class and took my seat next to Nylon. Technical Machine Engineering was just a fancy way to say 'learn a TM'. You're only required to take this course I think twice in your high school career. Anyways this class can be a struggle or a free period; it all depends on how fast you can learn a move. In middle school I learned 'Protect' and it's been useful here and there.

Now I'm trying to learn 'Dark Pulse' cause "What's a hydreigon without Dark Pulse" as I keep hearing, so why not.

Our teacher Mrs.Gem (a Persian) was just explaining a few techniques. Like breathing and mindsets we should have while learning moves out of our typing. It was good suggestions, but the person who could really use this was asleep.

"Psst Nylon" I nudged him.

He murmured and his orange fur grew warmer.

"Nylon she's saying things you could use," I nudged again.

Nylon lazily picked up his head up his head and revealed an orange TM Fighting Book.

"Hmm? You're learning another move?"

"Yeah... Mrs.Gem sez it wasn't pozzible for me to learn Wild Charge an- *yawn* 'aving two moves that take a toll on my body would affect my longevity in battle.

"Oh, so what move are you learning now?"

"Rock Smash," Nylon stretched, "How's Dark Pulse coming?"

"Still not sure where to start," I chuckled as I poked at the diagrams in the book.

"That sucks, why don't you ask your mom? She seems like the best help."

Why didn't I think of that?!

...

Class went on as usual; people studying, talking, on devices, or sleeping. The afternoon announcements chimed and told us that there was no school tomorrow and to enjoy an early weekend. Even if we were confused, it didn't stop the student body from rejoicing.

School ended and students poured out of the building going every which way. Hooking up with friends and finding their way home. Some 'mons flew, walked, loaded on the busses, or used other forms of transportations to get home.

I thought of flying home, but decided to take my bus. The bus was full of laughter and different conversations. I took an open seat toward the middle. With nothing else to do I pulled out and checked my phone.

I had one message from Tair. She wanted a favor so I replied.

Me: What is it?

I guess now would be the best time to text Sace.

Me: Hi

Sace: Heyy! <3

She must've been expecting it.

Me: That was fast

Sace: lol ik

Me: Where were you today?

Sace: Places, Mostly wrk.

Me: Work?

Sace: Ya, dey wuz short 2 ppl n Mr.Cave sed hell pay me xtra if I can come in n wait a few tables 4 lik 2hrs.

Me: You skipped school for work? :/

Sace: Ok b4 lecture me, did anything hapn 2day?

Me: Mr.Gekk taught us a new strategy that we have to perform on Monday because there is no school tomorrow.

Sace: Awsum! Lets get on 2nite

Me: The game?

Sace: No da Moon...

Me: Lol ok got it.

[Message from Tair] I switched over.

Tair: I wanna kno if we could practice together?

Me: Sure.

[Message from Sace]

Tair: Saturday?

Me: Qill will be over if that's ok?

Tair: ya dats cool :)

I went back to Sace.

Sace: Yay! What game tonight?

Sace was a special kind of 'mon. She is very competitive and can get into a lot of things. She even got into gaming because of me. She went out and bought a console and a few games that I played and learned them. I was a bit surprised how interested she became in them. In just a week or two she pretty much knew everything. Nowadays I'm trying to keep up with her.

Me: I don't know maybe Spirit Seeker with Qill?

Sace: SS? Sounds gud! 3man dungeons!

Qill when I first met him he was sporting a Spirit Seeker wristband and the sparked conversation.

Sace: 1 mo thing

Me: ?

_*Screeech*_The bus jerked and brought me back to reality. We were at my stop. I got off and made my way to my house. I didn't even realize that we'd left the school. I entered my home and was greeted with a burnt smell. I heard clattering in the kitchen, so I went in there.

I saw the familiar red eyed Charizard, he was putting away dishes.

"Hey Dad," I greeted.

"What's up son,"

"Nothing where's mom?"

"Out. What's wrong?"

"Just need her help learning a move"

"Ahh"

"So what did you burn?"

"Pfft that was hours ago, I re-made it and now it's great! I'll show your mom that I can cook just as good as her."

"So what was it?"

"It's trash now, the re-make is dinner."

"Ok, oh and we don't have school tomorrow, and can I have a few friends over this weekend?" I asked.

"That's cool, just don't miss dinner." Dad said as he sat down to watch T.V.

I went upstairs to my room and checked my phone.

Sace: I'm comin ovr 2morow ;)

Looks like I'm having all my friends over this weekend, well except Nylon.

Sace and I have known each other for a long time, ever since 6th grade. I was just a Deino and she was an Eevee. I was new... well we all were new since it was the beginning of the year, but what I mean is I just moved to this area. I met Sace and we became friends, just normal friends. Soon enough I met her cousin Nylon, who was also an Eevee, then her best friend Tair who was a Growlithe. I had other friends as well but a few moved away while others ran in terror of my evolution.

The second month of 7th grade my evolution kicked in. Being a Deino is hard enough with poor vision but my evolution doubled that problem. I became a Zweilous.

This is a crucial time in my evolutionary line. I grew another head with another brain, but it was all still a part of me. It was just a different part of me. I was the literal symbol of drama; my emotions would be split between my heads. One would be shy with my emotions while the other was bold with it. If I was down about something, one head would be sad while the other would be irritated.

I felt like I had no control over my body and I was having the biggest identity crisis. The mixed emotion and actions made people confused, uncomfortable, and afraid. People didn't want to be associated with me; I lost friends, which made me more unstable.

I wasn't completely alone though. Sace, Nylon, and Tair were there for me. Even though it was difficult to have conversations, since it was like talking to two people at once. They grew accustom to it, Sace always thought it was fun since most of the time I would have two different opinions. It was fun to her, but I began to fight with myself all the time at home. It was like arguing with a friend about a superhero being better than another, but much MUCH worst!

I questioned everything about myself. It was a hard time, even something as simple as 'what my favorite color is' was at least an hour long arguments.

There was a huge pressing matter, if I was both heads, why was there so much conflict? Was one head more me? My mom told me that they were both me, my dad was confused on how to talk to me, or I guess which one of me. It wasn't his fault especially when I overheard mom tell dad that if he tells me the wrong things I could turn out horrible. What did she mean?!

Mom did come to me and said that she knew what I was going through, how I felt and she told me to keep thinking. Keep my thoughts going. She said that's what befalls our species, loss of thought. Our species feel that giving up on thinking as a Zweilous is the easiest way to deal with everything; however they get so used to it that when they evolve it's like they don't use their brain.

They draw from their Dark Draconic instincts and just take action on whatever makes them remotely think. This result in violence embedded in ignorance and loneliness.

My phone text tone went off and I snapped back to reality.

I shook my head and regained my senses. "Whoops, lost myself heheh," I chuckled aloud.

I'm just glad all of that was over and I got through in one piece.

Now time to recap. Sace is coming over tomorrow, Tair and Qill is coming Saturday, and I have a text to answer.

The message was from Sace.

Sace: WHERE R U!?!! Me n Qil r WAITIN!!!

Wow I forgot.

Me: Two minutes.

I set up my console and logged in "Alright, Game Start," I said as I put on my headset.

_Hours Later... _

"Bastion Dinner!"

I could faintly tell that was my dad.

"Alright coming," I replied.

"You gotta go?" Qill questioned.

"Yeah din-"

"What?! No! We're so close!" Sace exclaimed.

"Hehe sorry bu-"

"Can't you eat later?!" She whined.

"Sorry my dad cooked and he really wants everyone to sit down for this." I explained.

I could hear Sace was very disgruntled as I took off my headset. I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen.

I was greeted with my mom's giggle as she sat at the overly prepared table. It looked like a 4 star table. Our plates have bigger plates under them; there were three forks and two different knives for each person, a bowl of bread rolls (which he just bought) and a bowl of tossed salad. He also brought out the salt, pepper, steak sauce, salad dressing, ketchup, and red crushed pepper.

"What's all this?" I sat down.

"You dad us really going all out," She chuckled as she waved her half-filled wine glass.

I just noticed the glasses and the wine bottle on the table. I thought that I would be able to get wine as well until I spotted the juice next to the wine bottle.

"So how long do we have to wait on our gracious chef?" Mom teased dad who was tending to a pot.

He put the cover on the pot and merrily spun around with it in hand.

Dad's smile and tail flame was bright; he looked like a kid during Christmas. Mom and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"I hope my family is ready for a great meal!" The Charizard said as he placed the pot on the table.

"But nothing compared to mines," Mom taunted with a voice that told me that she wasn't on her first glass of wine.

So I guess I'll ask her about learning that move later.

Dad then revealed his dish which was a type of boneless meat. It was really good! Dad didn't do as bad as I thought he would've. The dinner went on with drinking and laughter. After 45 minutes I knew my parents were drunk, not terribly, but still drunk.

I gathered the dishes as I noticed my parents started to get intimate.

I quickly made my way to my room; I wasn't willing to get a surprise visual-aid on my parents' anatomy... again.

I'm still sort of new to sex; I only had it twice both with Sace. She always was on top and she went slow for me my first time in 9thgrade. I always got so nervous and flustered that I would start randomly asking questions. The second time Sace gagged me, it was embarrassing.

I also never last long, it's only because too many things go through my head. Her slim curves, her pink and white fur, her ribbon-like appendages, pupil-less sapphire eyes, her smell, her touch, her ta-

I stopped mid thought as I felt my member start to emerge from my slit.

I tried to shake the thoughts away but I ended up thinking, how I ended up with her.

Eevees are a hot commodity. In their case they can pretty much pick and choose anyone they want. 'Mons sought after Eevees to fulfill their dating bias, like some 'mons only dates 'mons with fur or some chooses to only date certain types. While mostly preference sometimes these bias' is family tradition, which is crazy to me. Eevees are always loopholes, so they're greatly desired.

Sace is a special case, due to her competitive nature she had a few relationships end. Most notably a Grumpig and a Marowak, I guess publically losing to your girlfriend in gym events and wrestling (respectively) is grounds to end your relationship in middle school. It must've really hurt their prides, especially since it was barely a match at all, literally no contest. The other students teasing didn't help and got worst after they ended the relationship.

With famous taunts like 'Don't let me get you ex on you' heck some 'mons thought she broke up with them because they were weak. It was kind of funny.

There was actually this one time when she had this Vulpix boyfriend who adamantly wanted her to become a Flareon. She never said 'no' but said that she'll think about it. That wasn't good enough for him. Basically they broke up because of it, it was pretty messy and a big scene. It was because of that becoming a Flareon was harshly scratched off her list of options. Sounds like he should've gone for Nylon.

I laughed to myself; the thought of that Vulpix asking Nylon out, then the stare that Nylon would give him would make my year!

It was 8th grade when Sace asked me to be her boyfriend. By this time Nylon and Tair evolved, but Sace was still an Eevee and I a Zweilous. This made both my heads gasp in surprise and ask 'why?'

She said that I wasn't like other guys and that I was fun to be around and I never treated her different when we hung out or played games in gym and stuff, plus why not.

It took me a second to think and then one of the heads said "What if this doesn't work," and other finished "Would we still be friends after?". She giggled and said why wouldn't it and that we'll never know until we try. With that both my heads nodded in agreeance. This made her very happy.

Two months later she finally decided on an evolution. She said it was a secret; all I could think is that it wasn't going to be a Flareon.

Next time I saw her she came to me with a new appearance. Mostly pink and white but on the count of my poor Zweilous eyesight I could only make the colors out.

It wasn't until my mom took me on a two week trip to force my evolution. The first four days she put me through A LOT of work. It was tiring, but she promised me that the second week would all be fun and relaxation. My dad came on the fifth day and my mom said I could take that day off, but I couldn't leave our suite. I heard 'mon having fun but never knew what was going on, since mom always kept us out of sight while she trained me. I was always training, just having me do attacks and dodging until I fainted. She would then wake me up, feed me, and repeat the process.

On the seventh day I was challenged by my dad. I was completely hesitant at first even straight up refusing to attack back, but after being knocked around enough times I realized that I couldn't dodge everything and Protecting wasn't going to help much either.

I soon worked up the nerve and released my Dragon Rage.

The Charizard was completely caught off guard and was hit mid-rush.

A part of me wanted to apologize ten times over, but... I didn't. What took over was a feeling of power, strength, and confidence! I was ecstatic! I wanted to do it again! I felt like, felt like, felt like... I was glowing.

I underwent my evolution in a bright shining glory. My brain became one again, ,y Dragon Rage turned into Dragon Breath, my Flamethrower turned into Tri-attack, and, and... I COULD SEE!

The crisp clear detail of the world around me was overwhelming. I spent like five minutes just looking at myself and I remember the first words my mom said "Huh I knew he had your eyes."

They congratulated me and my mom informed if she didn't force my evolution I would have naturally evolved in like six months and she believed I suffered enough as a Zweilous. I was so thankful and happy and soon I saw why so much 'mon were having fun; I was at a resort! It was an amazing sight to witness for my first experience of truly seeing.

We finished out the rest of the week with fun and who knew I missed out on seeing fireworks this whole time! When I went back to school and truly saw Sace... I understood why Eevees were wanted so much.

My phone text tone went off snapping me back to reality.

I checked my phone and saw that I had quite a few messages built up, but I was too tired to check them now. I shut off my game and I was feeling a little thirsty.

I went downstairs poured me a drink and went back upstairs, however on my way up I could hear lustful and aggressive moans coming from my parents room. I sped off to my room and forced myself to go to sleep as I tried my hardest to keep down my growing erection.

...

I woke up the next morning, restless as hell. I don't know if it was because of last night or the fact that I didn't feel like I went to sleep. It felt like I just blinked then it was morning, but who cares... no school.

I got out of bed did my bathroom rituals, and then went to check my phone.

New messages:

Nylon: 1

Qill: 2

Sace: 7

New Interaction: 1

I guess I should go in order.

Nylon: I hear ur having a party, I guess it's cool if I show?

Sace: CMON!

Sace: >_> an hour 2 eat

Sace: It's ok lol

Sace: I will hav my revenge hehe

Sace: Muhhahahahah!

Sace: <3

... I'm not sure how to respond to that... Next?

A new message from someone I didn't know, well let's see what they said.

NI: Bastion this is Ryon, add me?

Oh it's Ryon. I quickly added him and he texted me soon after.

Ry: Sup

Me: Hey, how'd you get my username?

Ry: Qill, that's not a problem, is it?

Me: No not at all, but is there something you wanted?

I started to make my way downstairs to the sound of TV and laughter.

Ry: Well uh kinda wanted to properly applogize and wanted to help you.

Me: Help me?

I walked into the kitchen while the laughter died down. Dad was on the couch and around the table it was mom and... Sace?!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised this isn't the first time this happened.

"G'morning Bastion," Sace Greeted.

"Noon actually," My mom corrected and giggled with Sace.

I looked at the clock; it was only some minutes to Noon.

"Ya what took you so long to get up?" Sace asked "were you up all night?"

"Pfft! I was up for most of the night and I still got up before 10," Mom informed.

I cringed to the reason why she was up for most of the night.

"So why were you up?" Sace questioned.

"Cmon now," Dad intervened "Can't you that the boy is trying to get some breakfast."

"Lunch is more like it!" The females laughed.

I reached up to the cereal cabinet to grab a box and went back to my phone.

Ry: Well I have learnd lik 10 moves so I think I can help you learn 1.

Me: Really!!!

Ry: ^.^ of course! Think of it as a proper apology.

Me: Alright, but I said it was nothing.

I sat down at the table with my food.

"Who are you texting?" Sace wondered.

"Huh? Oh! Uhh," I stumbled, "I'm just texting Ryon."

"That Aggron who plays Football?"

"Yeah"

"About what?"

I was cut off by the news on the TV. The weather man words took all my attention.

Weather Man: The violent sporadic storm has got close to our area, however it will dispel leaving us with a light drizzle on Sunday. Back to you...

"What a freakish storm," Mom declared.

"Yeah I heard a lot of 'mons and houses has been thrown around because of the strength of the storm." Dad stated.

I finished eating. The storm seemed a bit unnatural to me, but the news said it was going to evaporate before it was going to be a bigger problem.

I checked my phone.

Ry: Yeah, Football season is ovr mayb we can hang out sometime.

Me: Ya sure!

"So what are we going to do today!" Sace jumped in my face.

"I-I... we can finish that mission we started on last night or s-something." I flinched.

"Cool!"

Sace and I left the kitchen.

"Play Nice you two," Mom called after us.

"We will!" Sace called back.

I made my way upstairs with Sace close behind me. We went into my room and I heard the door close behind me.

"So what would you like to do? Finish the mission or play another game?" I asked.

...

There was no response.

...

I started to turn around, "Sa-"

___________________________________________________________________

I was violently struck by a blinding Dazzling Gleam of light! I was dazed as it sent me spiraling across my room and toward my bed. My head roughly slammed against the head of my bed and landed on my back!

As my vision regained focus I was met with two angry pupil-less blue eyes. Sace was already on top of me and not pleased by the looks of it.

"So, now why the HELL didn't we finish the mission yesterday! Hmmm!" Sace questioned.

"uh-hu-h-I-uh-hu," I stuttered trying to understand the anger and the reasoning.

"That's right, you ate dinner made by your dad and decided to go to sleep! Letting my double XP EXPIRE, BUT that's not why I'm mad because that would be ridiculous."

I involuntarily nodded... That was a mistake...

She noticed this and used one of her ribbon-like appendages to tightly squeeze my left arm and started to glow with that Dazzling while again.

"Ahhh!" I moaned in pain as it started to burn.

She stopped the attack but kept the grip.

"I'm mad because A LOT of things happened yesterday, but you texted me as if nothing happened! Bailing on us last night was just icing!"

I was too scared to respond and I couldn't look her in the eyes, so I drifted my focus to the four paws that stood on me... Her four... Soft paws. Soft paws connected to haunches... Curvy, healthy, and rounded haunches that lead up to her pink and white body. I started to pant as I kept thinking about it, until I felt my slit starting to part and my organ emerging from it.

Blood quickly rushed up to my face thoroughly heating it. I could feel that there was a red hue on my face.

'Why now?! STOP! Why won't it stop!?... Is she still TALKING?!?' I mentally panicked.

She was still talking and there was no way to stop my organ from growing, especially with her still standing on me. I just put my focus back on her and hoped for the best.

"- AND Josh got into a fight with some flaming idiot! If I were there I'd probably kick his ass before Josh did. Why didn't you tell me that! I mean you have the same lunch, even if you were outside you still could've went inside and fly above the crowd and see what was going on. Heck maybe you could have even swooped down an-..."

I felt my member poke her rump and I think she felt it too by the way she abruptly went silent.

I immediately and tightly shut my eyes and trembled as I felt my blood overheat under the skin on my face.

I could feel her eyes on me. This was actually more embarrassing than having your erection noticed in class.

What's wrong with me... Why right now, at this moment! My eyes started to get wet.

She placed a paw on my muzzle, I flinched and stopped tembling.

She giggled "Really? Heh way to change the mood."

I opened one eye to look at her.

"Have I been neglecting you?" She said as she faced my bright red tool that tampered at the tip.

I looked away, still embarrassed.

"I can tell it's been a while," she said as her gaze returned back to me "you know you can can always tell me."

I still didn't know how to respond. I just felt as if my nose was going to bleed by how hot and red my face was.

"Alright then..." She trailed off.

I guess I should calm down. She is my girlfriend after all and she's jus-

*GASP*

My eyes popped open and focused on Sace as a moan escaped from my maw. Sace pushed herself halfway down my member, causing it to throb under the tightness of her pussy.

"That sure *huff* made you respond" She snickered.

"Bu-"

"But this time, we're going at my speed," Sace said with a lewd smile.

I grew nervous as she spoke.

She lifted off of me until only my tip remained, then she thrusted down on me and repeated until she got into a rhythm. A fast hard rhythm.

This uncontrollably pulled moans from me as she blissfully cooed.

"S-Sace could you slo-"

I was silenced by her muzzle connecting with mines as she picked up the pace.

My muffled sounds barely escaped our mouths while her tongue started to subdue mines.

My thoughts came to a halt. My body couldn't agree on a tempo to follow which left me in a state of high.

She broke the kiss leaving a strand of saliva still connecting us. My tongue followed hers out of my maw and hung at the side of my mouth. She looked very pleased at the state I was in. She released her grip on my arm from earlier and increased he onslaught on me.

My breathing grew erratic, my vision swayed I was close, I knew it. I started to unconsciously thrust with her rhythm. I wanted to- I NEEDED to finish. I was so deep in and it was tight, it was just milking me closer and closer.

A lustful moan suddenly rang from Sace and that was enough to send me over.

I pulled out a little more getting ready for my final thrust, but as I pushed in I felt my member exposed to the air. I know she would normally pull me out, but this time I didn't want her to!

I reached my climax.

My first shot went straight up, but before my second shot Sace took my tool and aimed it toward me.

The next torrent of seed shot straight at my face. I instinctively retracted my tongue and closed my eyes as it hit me square on the snout. The next few shots were hitting my neck and chest. My climax trickled down to drips as I finished.

I started to breathe heavily from my mouth and every time I used my nose all I could smell was the sticky liquid on it.

My vision blurred and I started to see double as I struggled to remain conscious. Sace leaned closer to my face and with a bit of focus I could see that I got some on her.

"Why are you struggling?" Sace giggled as her ribbons started to glow pink like she was using an attack, "Just relax... and rest."

She started to kiss me. The Kiss started quickly Draining every last bit of energy I had left. My lips fell from hers as I went numb and my vision went black. Last thing I heard before fainting was

"Such a good boy," *Giggles*

___________________________________________________________________

"Urrh" I groaned as I woke up. Seems like Sace had wanted to play a different kind of game; one less virtual.

I sat up in my bed and immediately noticed that I was a sticky mess and Sace was gone.

...

I need a shower.

I made my way to my bathroom and looked in the mirror. It was a tad bit shameful.

I started the water, turned on the shower, and began to clean myself.

I don't understand. Sace always pulls me out, but we're not in the same egg group so I can't get her pregnant. Maybe it's something else.

I mean why is she with me? Eeveelutions normally go with someone they're genetically compatible with. To me being born an Eevee seems like a stroke of luck. You're able to choose what type you want to evolve into, you'll be wanted by everyone, and and... yeah.

The only cool thing about me is that I'm a dragon, I guess. *sigh*

...

I turned off the water, got out the shower and started to dry myself. I stepped back in my room and my nostrils were immediately assaulted by the pungent odor of sweat and must. I covered my nose in complete dismay.

I'm going to wash my sheets! And air out my room!

I looked at my clock, it was 4:30. Why was I out for so lo- well she used an attack on me...

I grabbed my phone and started to gather my sheets. Arceus this smell bad! I piled all the sheets and held them in my arms as I made my way out my room. I made sure my room was left wide open.

I sped downstairs, bust through the door of the laundry room, threw up the lid of the washing machine and shoved the sheets in.

"Finally! It's off me," I huffed "I might have to take another shower."

I adjusted the settings on the machine, and then I reached for the soap.

"You might want to use the other one,"

"Eeep!" I spazzed and tried to hide the washing machine with my body. I turned my head and saw my mom. She then pointed to a detergent bottle marked 'Heavy Duty'. I hesitantly reached and grabbed it.

"I didn't know you started having sex," She stated.

I froze up...

"Hmm, you and Sace have been together for a while so this is to be expected, but you are pretty timid so I doubt that you're dominant in bed.

"Mom!" I squeaked a little taken back by the uncomfortable conversation I was having with her. My embarrassment was quickly shown on my face.

"I'm sorry," She laughed, "Sace's spunky and strong. I don't think she'll be easily submissive, unless... Bastion how big are you?"

"MOM!!!"

"Oh come now, don't be such a baby. I gave birth to you and cleaned you, I know everything you have," She scolded.

My face was bright red... My face lights up too often for someone as dark as I am.

"Don't worry, I'll leave you alone. My little hydra." She said as she took her leave.

"Wait!" I faintly called.

"I'll be in the living room if you need me," She called back.

I finished setting my load to wash and started it. I then checked my phone.

2 New Notifications:

_ _ Ryon: 1

Qill: 1

I chose Qill first.

Qill: Dude y is every1 goin to your hous 2morow?

Me: I don't know, at least it will be more fun?

[NEXT]

Ry: Hey I got an idea, how bout I bring a few of my books over tomorrow and mayb I can teach ya something.

Me: Sounds cool, but a lot of my friends will be here if that's okay?

Ry: That's awesome.

I went into the living room and saw my mom on the couch watching some over the top reality show. I sat by her.

"So my little 'mon, or should I say BIG 'mon," She giggled, "what would you like to talk about?"

"I-I ummm"

"Cmon spit it out,"

"Well, mom I just wanted t-to get a few umm tips."

"Oh! Well first off foreplay is very-"

"No! Mom!" I covered my face, "I mean on learning a move. I have been trying to learn Dark Pulse, but I can't do it yet."

"Aww that's it?" She said uncovering my face, "Sweet heart, you can't learn Dark moves."

"Wh-what?"

"Dark moves are something inside you, but you have that darkness inside you. So you will never be able to use a Dark move," She said with a smile.

"I-I don't understand. I-isn't that a bad thing?" I worried.

"Well technically yes, but I already knew this, plus there's tons of other moves you can learn."

"So I can... never... learn a Dark move?" My head drooped.

"Oh boy, umm I wouldn't say never, but it isn't going to happen right now."

"Oh..."

"Come now cheer up sweetie. It's not that bad. I have to go out for a bit," She kissed me, "Don't beat yourself up about it."

"Ok, bye mom."

She left out, leaving me to the TV with two girls fighting. So I went back to my phone.

Qill: Yeah I guess it'll b cool.

Me: Plus Ryon is coming

Qill: Wait, WUT, Really?! HOW?!

Me: Well we've been talking and he wanted to teach me a few moves.

Qill: What do u kno how 2 do again?

Qill: Well you hav all 2morow 2 tel me since im spendn da nite.

Me: Really?

Qill: Yup just letting u kno ;)

Me: Okay.

[Message form Ryon]

Ry: You check the news?

I grabbed the remote and changed it from people from 'mons partying in th club to the news.

I heard the house door open and close, then the sound of familiar clawed footsteps. Well I guess the only footsteps that live in this house.

"Hey Bastion what's up," The Charizard greeted.

"Nothing much Dad."

"I didn't know you watched the news," He plopped on the couch.

"My friend told me to look at it,"

"Yeah the weather problem thing. They say that some legendries are probably the cause."

"Why would they be the cause?"

"Well just like how people fight in school they fight too. Just y'know a little more destructive," Dad guessed.

News Reporter: More news on the strange weather phenomenon. It has been confirmed that the storm isn't due to natural causes. Details at 11

"Well that wasn't very informative," I stated.

"I guess it's still news to everyone," He rose to get a drink.

"Umm dad, what do you know about darkness? Like inside a person."

"Not much besides that it's a bad thing," He drank.

"So it's good that I can't use a Dark type move?"

He spit tanked the soda he was drinking. "What! You can't use a Dark type move!? What is a hydreigon that can't use a-"

He stopped mouth agape, and looked at me in shock of his display. I got a bit self-conscious.

"Well I guess darkness is different when it comes to Dark types," Dad scratched his head.

"Well then I suck," I slumped.

"Don't do that, you have two types, so if you lack at one, you should excel at the other!"

"Yeah I guess"

"Cmon son you have to have more fire than that!" He urged me.

We heard the door open and close then mom came in the living room.

"Hun did you know that Bastion can't use Dark type moves?" Dad said.

"Yes I do, do you know that he is having sex?" Mom said with a lewd smile.

Dad face changed and he turned to me with a curvy smile as if he was a feline. I had to escape because I knew where this was going.

"Thanks for the talk dad!" I rushed out of the living room and straight upstairs.

"Don't worry we will talk about it later!" Mom called after me.

...

The rest of the day went... uhh well. I finished my laundry talked a bit more to Ryon and Qill, however every time I showed my face to my parents they gave me the same looks. Dinner was the worst, it made me wish I wasn't an only child so I would have someone else to talk to... or look at. They didn't say anything about me having sex, but they wanted to by the way they stared and smiled. Sometimes I wish I had a shell to hide in.

[NEXT MORNING]

I woke up. It was like 10am. Nobody said exactly when they would come, so I assume everyone would start showing up around noon.

As soon as I got out of bed, I heard my doorbell chime. I wonder who that could be.

I drifted downstairs to my front door. I opened the door and was greeted by a sand yellow Sandshrew with a duffle bag slung over his body, and wearing a thin red hooded windbreaker.

"mrrr Hey Qill," I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

"Sup Bastion," He walked by me and up to my room.

I followed.

"You're spending the night?" I asked.

"Yup, I told you I was."

"Oh..."

"Anyways what's on today's agenda?"

"Well first let me brush my teeth then we should eat."

"Alright," Qill said as he threw his big on my floor and started to make his self at home.

...

We were making our way downstairs to go to the kitchen, but as we passed the door there was a knock. I answered the door and was greeted by the silver helm of an Aggron.

"Ryon?"

"Hey Bastion, morning," Ryon greeted.

"Come on in, we're about to eat," Qill informed.

Ryon took the invite and walked in. "I brought some of the books," he patted his messenger bag.

"Oh great-"

"After we eat," Qill interrupted.

Ryon nodded in agreement. Qill lead us into the kitchen where mom and dad were watching TV. Dad was around the couch while mom was at the counter.

Qill was noticed by my mom as he came through the doorway.

"Good morning Qill, Bastion, Agg-" She was puzzled, "Oh hello."

"Mom," I started, "This is Ryon" I gestured toward the Aggron.

"Nice to meet you ma'am." Ryon greeted.

"Ryon eh? Well then tell me a little about yourself," Mom said.

"Well I uh, I can learn moves kind of fast, I'm pretty Sturdy, and I'm on the Football team."

"An athlete huh," Dad walked around the couch and towards Ryon. "Nice to meet you young 'mon," Dad extended his hand.

"Same to you sir," Ryon met his hand.

Dad and Ryon exchanged a rough looking handshake.

The eye contact from the Charizard's red eyes to the Aggron's blue ones didn't break.

"That's a nice grip you got there," Dad admitted.

"Thanks sir,"

"You in the same grade as my son?"

"Yes sir," Ryon released the handshake.

"Are you planning to play for the league?" Mom asked.

"Well not real-"

I stopped listening as I felt something tug on my tail. I turned and saw it was Qill, who was pointing at his open mouth as if he was a child... or a semi intelligent pet.

I made my way to the pantry with Qill following closely behind.

"So what we got to eat?" Qill asked

"Just the simple stuff cereal, pancakes, waffles, and stuff," I named as I rummaged through the items.

"Your dad and Ryon are really hitting it off,"

"Yeah, dad likes sports so I guess it's to be expected."

[Later in my room]

Ryon had brought a lot of books almost one for each pokemon type. We all were in somewhat of a circle looking through different books for cool moves that we could possibly learn.

"UGH! This is all stupid!" Qill complained to me and Ryon's confusion. "I mean first I have to find what I can learn, then what mindset I have to be in to perform the move and how much energy it would, plus some of these moves requirements contradict each other and and-"

"Woah woah calm down." Ryon stopped Qill.

The doorbell chimed.

"I'll get that." I left the room.

When I opened the door Tair and Nylon were there.

"Hey guys," I greeted, "we're upstairs in my room."

I lead the way as the Arcanine and Flareon trailed. We all entered my room.

Everyone greeted each other however I did feel a bit of tension from Nylon toward Ryon. After a bit more reading we decided to go in my backyard to test a few moves out. My backyard was fenced and spacious so it was a great place to train.

Tair tried a few things out first with Qill helping her. Nylon, Ryon, and I watched from the patio.

"She's actually learning pretty fast," I noticed.

"Yeah just a few days and she'll have the move down packed," Ryon agreed.

"Don't know why she's trying to learn Snarl. Wild Charge is better coverage and is stronger," Nylon injected.

"Well it's good to have variety," Ryon responded.

"Only when it helps you. Speaking of, why do you even battle, when you already do sports?" Nylon asked coldly.

"Well I only really do sports because I can. Makes my mom happy and I do have physic for it, plus it's not that hard so why not."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"Oh, ummm, because I always liked watching battles, however people say because of my typing that I couldn't go really far in battling."

"That's obvious."

"He beat you didn't he," Qill stated as he emerged from the ground then went back in the ground and started to dig toward Tair. Nylon decided to ignore Qill.

"But!" Ryon continued, "I saw in team battles that pokemon with 'bad' typings excel greatly."

"So you have a better chance to win with a partner in a situation where you'd flat out lose one-on-one." I inquired.

"Yup! There's strength in numbers."

"Sounds like cowardice and poor planning. Having to rely on someone to win a battle for you and the fact that someone isn't always going to be there for you. You're going to have to act off your own merit," Nylon spoke flatly.

"That's n-not a good way to look at things," I said.

"Yeah, but it's true."

"But-"

"He's right," Ryon stated, "However it isn't practical to not know how to work as a team. Like I said some 'bad' typing excels in team, but also some 'good' typing fail."

"Explain," Nylon demanded.

"Just know skilled individuals put on a team is at a disadvantage against a skilled team, even if the team members have less individual skill-"

Qill dug up out of the ground in front of the three of us, which caught all our attention.

"Plus Nylon in our group one of us will most likely be there with you if you get into a fight so it wouldn't hurt to learn a few team game plans." Qill added.

A deep chilling Snarl echoed toward us. It made Qill and Nylon jump, Ryon tensed up; I was surprisingly unmoved just felt a little weaker.

"Did you hear that one Qill!" Tair laughed.

"I think you got that move down," I assured. Everyone nodded in agreement.

Tair giggled, "Ok who's next?"

... [Later]

Its 5pm we all are inside on the three-seat couch occupying the living room area. I sat in the middle, Nylon was on my right, Ryon on my left, Tair laid on the carpet below Nylon, and Qill sat below Ryon.

We all were a bit sore and tired. The TV was on and we were just relaxing.

"Never thought I would work so hard outside of school," Qill pointed out.

"You work hard in school?" Nylon asked sarcastically which sparked laughter from everyone.

"Well everyone learned a new move, well except Bastion and Ryon.," Tair said.

"Eh I already know a lot of them; I just have to remember them." Ryon said.

It's true I didn't learn anything new but I helped. Tair learned Snarl, Qill learned X-Scissor, and Nylon learned Rock Smash.

"Y'know we're missing someone," Qill stated.

"Who?" I asked.

I received a dumb look from everyone except Ryon who looked as confused as me.

I started to think.

"Ribbons," Nylon said.

"Oh!" I realized it was Sace, "B-but it wasn't planned for her to come today."

"I know, but still she's the only one not here," Qill said.

"Well she was here yesterday,"

Tair and Qill mouths went curvy and they inched toward me.

"Oh she did now~" Tair leaned.

"So what did you two do? Alone," Qill nudged.

"W-w-we-we well-" I started to stumble.

Tair quickly rose from the floor and placed both of her forepaws on me holding me in place.

"Come on Bastion, we're all friends here," Qill teased.

"Yeah go on tell us," Tair said with her face so close to mines. My face redden as I felt my body start to shake.

"How about no!" Nylon said slightly annoyed.

Tair released me and glanced at Nylon, "Lighten up, Bastion knows that we're only playing."

I sighed in relief.

"So you're the guy that goes with that Sylveon!" Ryon was surprised.

"I-I yeah?" I replied.

"Wow the locker room sure did miss the mark on you."

Everyone looked at Ryon with tilted heads.

"Well in the locker room guys are always talking about this or that but one reoccurring topic that comes up is about this no good Dragon who goes out with this beautiful Sylveon," Ryon explained, "I thought it was another case of a cute girl being with a guy she had no business being with; and you know a whole bunch of 'what does he have that I don't' talk."

"People talk about me?"

"Sound like a lot," Tair added.

"What are somethings he has?" Qill asked.

"All they really blame it on is height, type, and ability to fly," Ryon answered.

"I didn't know I had enemies," I said sadly.

"Not enemies. Jealous whinny 'mons," Nylon corrected.

That didn't make me feel any better.

"Ahh what do they know," Qill started "Just big dumb athletes. Eh no offense," He looked toward Ryon.

"Don't worry it doesn't offend me," Ryon responded.

"Well I meant, like for your friends as well."

"I don't particularly have friends, just teammates. I don't really click with anyone on that team like I do with you guys."

"D'awwww~" Tair sang.

Ryon chuckled, "Yeah I guess it's more my fault then there's though. I just see playing that sport as just a pass time, while for most of them it's their passion. It's what they want to do in life, so naturally it's what they talk about 24/7."

Wow Ryon has no friends? Why wouldn't he have any friends? As well rounded and talented he is it seems unlikely.

"While all you want to talk about is battling, yet that proves difficult, since the fighters at school feels that they should only talk to the best; which you can't be." Nylon assumed.

"Ahahahaha!" Ryon laughed, "Wow Nylon you are really perceptive! In a nutshell that's what happens."

"Only if you were more 'perceptive' in the battle you two had," Qill poked at Nylon.

"OH MY ARCEUS! Do you have to men-"

"So you consider us as friends?" Tair asked Ryon cutting Nylon off.

"Well uh," Ryon blushed "I guess, it's just a weird thing to ask heh."

"There we go, now we have another member to our group of friends,"

"Umm alright, a little sudden-"

"But now its official," Tair smiled.

The rest of the evening went on with us talking about school, TV, and battles. We actually had a great time, but soon enough it grew dark and everyone went home. Except Qill who spent the night. Qill slept on my floor and I decided to join him.

"Bastion?" Qill called.

"Yeah?"

"Y'know you don't have to sleep on the floor,"

"I know, it just feels strange not to when you are,"

"Oh."

...

"Do you really believe Ryon had no friends?" I asked.

"Well not at first cause if you're on a team, everyone's your friend, right? But I guess it isn't always like that."

"But when I didn't have friends it's because of what I was. He's cool, strong, and knows a lot of moves and plays sports. How could he not have friends?"

"Well we're his friends now apparently, so problem solved." Qill assured.

...

"Bastion?" Qill called.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think we all will be friends, like for a long time, even if something happens?"

"Yeah even if we all graduate a year before you. I'm sure we'll stay friends."

...

"Thanks Bastion. Night."

"Good Night Qill."

What did he mean by that? Should I be worried? Why is worried?! Why is - No stop. It was nothing. Just sleep.

...

In the morning Qill got a call and couldn't spend the day so he left. The day went on. My parents asked me more about Ryon, especially dad. The news about the weather became a hot topic again. It just got stranger and stranger.

[Monday at school]

I'm walking to Mr.Gekk class when someone out of nowhere jumped on my neck.

"Hey Bastion~!" Sace sang as she hugged my neck.

"Hey Sace," I smiled.

"Had fun Saturday?" She said as she jumped on my back.

"Yeah everyone was there and Ryon too, he's going to be hanging out with us a lot more now."

"Yeah I know Tair was talking to me about it yesterday. Sorry I couldn't be there."

"It's ok."

"So what did Mr.Gekk teach Thursday?"

"Oh, it was something about distraction and misdirection."

"Sounds fun!" She said as we entered the classroom as the bell rang.

She hopped off my back and followed me to our usual seats.

"Alright children sit down, sit down quickly now, come on," Mr.Gekk said with haste in his voice.

We took our seats.

"Now I'm not going to be here this class period, but I want to teach a lesson. Well more like get you students thinking about something."

"What about sparring against each other? You said that we would." The Bannett said with his hand raised.

"I unfortunately don't have time to do that today, maybe tomorrow hehe. But I do want you all to know this."

The class went silent. Mr.Gekk scanned the room of students.

"Are you ready for anything? Are you prepared to handle something at any time?" Mr.Gekk questioned.

The class started to murmur.

"What is he talking about?"

"We're having a pop quiz."

"Literally impossible to prepare for."

"Now I'm only saying this because, I'm talking about survival," Mr.Gekk explained.

"Again?!"

"One can never be too cautious. Scenario, you go home and find your house burnt down. What do you do?" Mr. Gekk wondered.

"Go to my friend's place."

"It wouldn't"

"Aunt's house," Sace answered.

"Alright, How about I change the scenario? You are stranded on an island as you are right now, would you be able to survive?"

"Yes"

"Duh"

"I can fly"

"I have my phone"

The class began to talk amongst themselves of the scenario and how they'll survive. Soon enough it became a big classroom of laughter and discussion.

"Alright students!" Mr.Gekk said over the class, "I'm taking my leave, free period, have fun!"

Mr.Gekk got his bag.

"Bastion!" He called me over the noise.

I flew down to him. "Yes mist-"

He quickly pulled my head in to whisper. "Bastion, here's a pass," He handed me a pink card, "Go to Ms.Latch class after you gym period."

"Uhh."

He then petted me and took his leave as he hummed or rather croaked a tune.

The class went on unsupervised and noisy. Sace asked what he gave me and I told her. Turns out it was Sace's and Qill's class. The bell rung and it was time for gym so I meet up with Qill, Nylon, and Ryon. It was another freelance day so didn't do much but talk until Qill and Ryon decided to play dodge ball. I joined them for a few rounds, but soon enough gym was over. Qill and I went to his class, with him riding on my back. Ms. Latch thought it was strange that Mr. Gekk wanted me to sit in her class but she let me stay. There was an open seat at Sace's and Qill's group table, so I sat there.

[20 Minutes Later]

Qill, Sace, and I had been talking awhile and I noticed they didn't touch their work. I didn't want to be the cause of them not doing their work, since that would lessen the chance of me being able to sit in this class again.

"Hey shouldn't you guys start on you work?" I asked.

"You mean I do the work and Sace copies," Qill Joked.

"No! You're the one who mostly copies from me." Sace poked back.

"That wasn't the case Wendes-"

ATTENTION! Students and faculty, this is an EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT!

A stern but worried woman said on the P.A system.

We request an IMMEDIATE evacuation of the school! I repeat! EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!!!

The P.A system cut off...

The class grew silent and everyone was frozen...

Screams were then heard from down the halls.

The room started to quake and I watched as everyone started to shake with it. A part of the ceiling caved in exposing the class to a gray swirling sky.

The class panicked and started to rush and scream out the classroom. I made sure I was with Sace and Qill as we made it out into the busy hallway. My eyes darted left and right at the overpopulated hallway with stampeding students.

"What the hell is going on!? We gotta go!" Qill panicked as he gripped on to me.

I grabbed Sace "Let's go!" I started to pull her to the left hallway.

"No!" She easily broke away from me.

I froze.

"I'll be back!" She said as she rushed down the right hallway.

The adrenaline to act was quickly drained from me, now being replaced with confusion.

Another tremor rattled the school, the lockers buckled, and I watched as Qill struggled to stay on his feet.

"Woah! Damn, we have to go Bastion!" Qill panicked.

Windows shattered and cracks of thunder boomed through the halls. The halls were getting more and more emptier as students made their way out.

"Bastion!" Qill tugged on me.

"I know I know, b-but Sace,"

"Then let's go for-"

"Bastion!!!" A familiar deep voice called.

Qill and I turned to see the silver steel armored dinosaur-like Pokemon that is Ryon. We also noticed that he has a familiar red-orange furred Pokemon slung over his shoulder. Nylon fur was also now speckled with white dust.

"It's great to see that you guys are alright," Ryon caught his breath "Let's go!" he started to take off.

"Wait!" I stopped him.

"Wait? Whudda-"

"Sace went off somewhere and said she'll be back," Qill explained.

The hall that we were on was now clear of life besides us. Ryon did a nervous double-take looking down the halls. "Fine, I-I'll stay and wait with you guys."

I smiled.

"Hey what happened to Ny-" Qill stopped as we all heard the sound of paw-pads sprinting closer to use from the right hall.

Sace and Tair came around the corner. Sace swiftly stopped while Tair came to a sliding halt.

"Good everyone's here," Sace sounded relieved.

Another tremor shook the school. Sace and Qill held their ground, Tair fumbled a bit, but the forces made Ryon take a knee.

"Grahh! Can we go!" Ryon Grunted.

"Yeah let's go." Sace said

Qill started off to the left hall and I followed.

"Wait guys!" Tair stopped us. "Taking the stairs out the back of the school is faster."

We all as a group sped down the right hallway. It wasn't raining but with the sound of whirling winds and claps of thunder you would have believed it was.

As we all went through the school, down the labyrinth of hallways I noticed the mess that was the hallways. Windows were broken, papers and books from the forced open lockers cluttered the floors, and I even saw a busted water fountain spewing water.

We grew closer to the stairwell.

"W-what happened to Nylon?" Sace glanced at her cousin's form upon Ryon's shoulder.

"Well uh in the chaos I spotted him under pieces of ceiling. It looks like it fell on him, I tried waking him up but it didn't work he was unconscious. I couldn't just leave him there so I picked him up in hopes of getting outside and find one of guys." Ryon explained.

"So what, no one was going to help a 'mon out?" Qill said.

"Typical people at this school," Sace said vexed.

We made it to the stairwell. We were on the 3rd floor so we wouldn't have to descend long.

On our way down the building shook violently again. Everyone clung to the railings, except me and Qill since we were in the middle of the stairs. "W-woah woah oooh Ssshhhaa!" Qill yelled as the force of the shake threw him off balance.

Thankfully being a Sandshrew he instinctively curled into a ball which sent him basketball-ing down the stairwell.

Everyone froze as and listen to Qill ricochet off of the stairs and walls going all the way down until it came to a stop.

"I'm good" Qill voice faintly echoed.

Everyone took it as a cue to continue.

"Urrrmmm..." Nylon stirred.

"Huh? Oh you're waking up" Ryon said.

"W-wuh whar happened?" Nylon said his confusion.

"We don't completely know ourselves, but we need to leave the school." Sace explained.

We all reached the bottom where Qill was standing at the exit waiting for us.

"Alright now let's all get home,"Qill commanded, "That's enough excitement for me for the week."

"So how are we going to walk in this weather?" Tair asked.

...

Nylon hopped down from Ryon "Well staying here isn't an option."

"Yeah plus Bastion can fly us," Sace hyped me up.

I shivered. I couldn't possibly fly them all home. I can't lift Ryon, Tair would have to be a solo trip, and out of Sace, Nylon, and Qill I could comfortably carry two at a time. Not to mention the weather right now factor that in, I can only carry one - barely... I guess.

Now everyone's looking at me and it wouldn't make any sense to take one and leave the rest! My heart started to speed up when I thought 'How are we supposed to get home?!'.

"Bastion can't take us all home," Nylon stated. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well we gotta get moving," Ryon said.

"Alright!" Qill said as he pushed the door open.

The winds whipped at us as we all exited the school. It was like we were in the middle of a storm.

"Guys!" Tair alerted, "I think I know what's calling this storm!" She gestured to the sky.

There were three figures in the air attacking each other with wind, rocks, and beams of light!

M-May-Maybe I could take more than two people... Maybe I could even lift Ryon! We-we have to get out of here!

We all quickened our pace almost going into full sprint.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

I turned around at the collective scream of everyone, who was now all on the ground. It must've been another tremor! There was a bit of distance between me and the group that I had to close to get back to my friends.

"Are you guys okay?" I asked as I got to them.

"Yeah we-" Sace answered but was cut off as a giant green figure that crashed to the ground where I just was.

Everyone froze after they got up.

The green figure started to arise from the ground. Revealing that it was a giant green hawl-like Pokemon.

"I-I-t-It's a Tornadus!" Qill trembled.

It dusted itself off, and then noticed us. It's eyes red and pupil-less.

I couldn't move, but I have to! I have to fly! I have to go *pants* NO we all have to GO! I'll-I will just t-take everyone! When I can't move? Who can I take? Who will I take? Sh-Should we fight?! *huff* *huff* Why can't I breathe!?!

Tornadus screeched while its wings glowed white and with one flap sent Gale Force of winds at us!

"WHUAHAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The force sent us all airborne into a whirling tornado!

I couldn't control my body! I couldn't be stabilized enough to fly! I was at the mercy of the winds!

"Bastion!!!" I heard Sace yell over the winds.

I feverishly looked around to find where her voice came from.

Her pink body crashed into mines and my reflexes made me grab her into my chest. Her eyes said 'Don't let go'. I couldn't see anyone else, I-I lost them... Where are they? Are they alright? It was my fault. I should have flown THEM! O COULD'VE DONE IT! Now they're gone...

Water started to escape my eyes.

A violent lash of wind hit me and Sace, breaking the hold I had on her! I panicked and my hand bit into her arm.

The winds were trying to pull her away from me!

Her eyes! S-She was worried beyond belief! What if I let go?! Are we going to be okay? Where is everyone else?!?

I gripped tighter and felt that the teeth on my 'hand' broke passed her skin. Tears started to blur my vision.

I didn't want to lose anyone! I-I don't want to lose Sace! I-I-I-

"BASTION! LOOK OUT!" Sace alerted.

I turned and through my tears I saw a big blurry object spinning right at-

...

....

.....

......

...

....

.....

.......

...

....

....

....

......

....

...Hey!

......

....

....HEY!

....

.....

... Come on wake up.

...

...

...

..

....

..

...

...

......

...

"Hey kid!"

I felt a soft paw nudge my snout. WAIT!

My eyes popped open and I rose off the ground "SACE!!!" I said excitedly.

I blinked and noticed it wasn't her.

"Nope you got me confused with someone else," The black and gray hyena like creature said as he walked to a giant boulder.

"Y-you're a Mightyena," I blinked again.

"Yup and you're a Hydreigon," He replied while climbing onto the boulder.

I stopped... Everything was silent.

The skies were clear and it was sunny. Well as far as I could tell cause most of it was block off by trees. It looked like I was in a forest... a tropical forest. I think I can even smell the salt water of a sea.

"Confused?" The mightyena said as my attention snapped back to him. "Well that's to be expected, I found you unconscious."

I touched my head and winced at the small pain I felt.

"Wuh-where am I?" I rubbed my head.

"I don't know, but what I do know is that you and I... are going to be spending A LOT more time together." He mischievously smiled.
