Seven Years Later Chapter 11
Seven Years Later CH. 11: Back to School
Packing up the remainder of their belongings, Kutty and Unshi both sighed out in relief. The past week that had been solely dedicated to learning about their moves had finally ended. Although they succeeded in becoming one with their own moves, they were unable to combine their moves with each other. Disappointed at the results, they had decided to continue training whenever they had time. Following up on Lucario's advice, the duo decided to head to the school and ask around for a pokemon called Scizor. As they walked, Unshi couldn't help but feel nervous. It had been a while since he dropped out to go train at Wigglytuff's Guild. He remembered that his departure had been so sudden and wondered if anybody would recognize him. Kutty on the other hand felt amazing. The intensity of her heat began to die down about halfway through the training week and she no longer needed to concentrate on fighting her urges anymore. She looked over to her blue friend and grinned before moving closer towards him. A couple hours passed and they were able to make to the school right before lunch. Entering into the main office, they received visitors passes and directions to Scizor's classroom. Just before they were about to leave the office, the ringing of Chinglings filled the halls. Instictively, Unshi pulled Kutty back before a mass of stampeding pokemon rushed by. "Whew, that was a close one!" Unshi laughed as he stepped into the hallway. "There must be some great chow today to have the hallways packed like that." Kutty timidly followed behind, constantly scanning left and right to make sure the coast really was clear. As she did this, she noticed someone walking towards her with a malicious glint in his eyes. "Well now, will you look at that? Mr. dropout himself decided to return and brought back with him a sorry excuse for a Charmander." Tensing up, Unshi turned to find a Persian looking down on him. "Who the hell are you?" he shouted at the elegant cat. "Oh?" the feline purred. "You've forgotten about me already? I must have beaten myself out of your memory that day you left the school. Let's me think. Why did I even bother soiling my paws with your blood? That's right! It was for an apple! You gave yourself up to protect a stinking apple!" Clenching his paws, Unshi flashed his teeth and growled. "Even though you've evolved you're still the same, Meowth. Where's the rest of your crew? Did they finally realize how much of a jerk you are and--" Large mitts lifted the blue pokemon into the air and tossed him across the hall. Kutty dashed forward and caught Unshi with her back. "Please, it's Persian now," scoffed the cat. "As you can see, Primeape here is as strong and loyal as ever." Picking Kutty up off the ground, Unshi brushed the dust off them before turning towards his evolved enemies. "What happened to the other one? The quiet girl who followed you around with that pained look in her eyes?" Pouncing forward, Persian clawed at Unshi only to miss. "Don't ever mention that useless mutt to me again."
Before he could respond to Persian, Unshi shifted his focus to duck under Primeape's sudden right hook. Countering with a powerful sweeping aqua tail, he landed a direct hit on Primeape's left leg. The blow knocked the monkey-like pokemon off his feet and he landed on the ground face first. Clearly enraged, he roared out and charged at Unshi with the intent to kill. Keeping calm despite the danger, Unshi jumped only to be tackled by Persian in midair. Pinning the poor totodile onto the floor, Persian lifted his clawed paw into the air to perform his slash attack. However, the out of control Primeape continued his rampage and slammed into the group. Injuring his friend caused enough shock to snap the Primeape out of his rage as he rushed over to pick Persian up. An ink colored cloud soon enveloped them before a whirling tornado of flames trapped them inside.
"That's enough!" somebody shouted from down the hall. In a flash, he appeared right next to the cocoon of smoke and fire. Using some sort of move, he broke apart the tornado and blew the smoke away. Coughing, Persian glared at Kutty and silently vowed to get revenge. "Whoever makes the next move will have to go against me, understand?" Shifting his gaze over to the pokemon, his glare immediately softened up as he coughed into his paw. "I was not expecting you of all pokemon to intervene in out petty squabble, Sir Scizor. Excuse us, but we must get going. We had a prior arrangement that was rudely interrupted by these troublemakers. I leave their punishment to you." As Persian and Primeape left the area, Scizor turned to face Kutty and Unshi. "You there, girly. That was a excellent combination of moves. The way they blended together was simply...dazzling to the eye." "Thank you, um, Sir Scizor was it?" Kutty nervously asked. "Ah no need to be bashful, lass," Scizor chuckled. "Just Scizor is fine with me. I assume you two must be the ones who the office informed me about. Follow me to my room. We can have our chat there." Minutes later, they found themselves inside a spacious classroom designed to house many upperclassmen. "Welcome back, Sir Scizor," a gentle voice spoke from a supply closet. "How did your meeting go?" Gesturing to his guests to have a seat, Scizor went to his desk and responded. "We haven't even begun it yet, deary. Now come out here and introduce yourself to our guests." A rustling of papers and clanking of glass echoed out into the large room as the pokemon entered. "Hello! My name is Lyowa and I-" Freezing in place, she found herself without words. Unshi jumped up and also found himself without the right words. "Y-You!" they both shouted at each other, startling both Kutty and Scizor. Standing in the doorway was Houndour, who only stared at Unshi with sorrow in her eyes. "It's been awhile," she whimpered out. "Y-yea it has," Unshi stuttered. An awkward silence lingered for a moment before Scizor coughed into his pincer-like claws. "Have a seat Lyowa. Just this once I'll let you sit in on a meeting since you seem to know this lad. Now, I understand that you two are representing the world famous guild belonging to Wigglytuff. Please show me your badges so that I can authenticate that assertion." Doing as they were told, Kutty and Unshi passed their badges over. "I heard that you were both newbies, but isn't this the gold ranking? My, you two must be very talented. Of course, seeing your actions first hand is proof enough that your rank isn't a joke. All right Wigglytuff guild members, what do you need from old Scizor here?" Upon explaining their situation, Scizor shut his eyes and entered a state of deep thought. Lyowa only stared at Unshi, dumbfounded by all of the experiences that her former classmate went through. Waiting for a couple minutes in silence, the group watched as Scizor opened his eyes with a gasp. "It seems that troubling times lie ahead in our world. I haven't felt this worried since...since that legendary team disappeared." A strange, yet soft metallic rolling sound could be heard up in the vents above them. The four pokemon stared at the ceiling, making sure that they were prepared for anything. With a sudden crash, a large red and white sphere busted through the ceiling and began to glow. Eyes wide open at the intruder, they rushed to get out of the room before a huge explosion shook the school's foundation.
