"Oh my Arceus.........", Sylveon said as she took a step into the giant battlefield area.
"Wow, this place is humongous!", said Leafeon.
"You think this is where most of the school's money goes to?", Glaceon asked.
"100%, but it's worth it though. This class is literally so much fun!", said Flareon.
"C'mon, let's go take a seat over here!", said Jolteon, leading the group to a row close to the front.
The seats sat across from a large battlefield that was separated from them by a short wall of concrete.
"What do you think they'll make us do today?", said Sylveon.
"Meh, probably just some introductory lecture about battling and all that.", said Umbreon.
—————————————————————————
—————————————————————————
"Wait, where's the teacher?", Espeon asked.
"Yeah. Class was supposed to start a minute ago.", said Flareon.
Suddenly, a loud crash sound came from somewhere else inside.
"What the hell was th-", said Flareon before being interrupted by another sound.
"Woah! Ah, yeah!", a loud voice said.
"Who is-", said Glaceon before someone leaped out from out of nowhere.
"Yeah! Ah, yeah!!", the teacher, a Machamp said as he leaped onto a floating platform, which started to ascend above the ground and soar above the students. The platform was then revealed to be a giant Magnezone.
"Welcome, class! Welcome to the battle class!", said Mr. Machamp.
"Oh yeah! We got some strong looking Pokémon this year! Oh, this makes me excited! Before we get to our fights today, let's just see what we're dealing with here.", the Machamp said.
"First an Aizawa teacher, now a Present Mike teacher. Like seriously, what are the chances of that?", said Jolteon.
"Alright, let's see, a Golisopod, a Druddigon, a Drapion, Tropius.", said Machamp.
"Wait, what?", Umbreon said before looking over at the other side.
Terrified, Umbreon saw Golisopod and his whole gang staring back at the teacher. He ducked back down before they could see him.
"Aw, crap. It's his whole gang.", said Umbreon.
"Oh no. Really? That means we have to deal with them in the battle class all year long? Who knows how they'll do in this class? They'll most definently pass with flying colors!", said Jolteon.
"Calm down guys! As long as we stick together, we'll be fine.", said Flareon.
"Yeah, sure Flareon.", Umbreon replied.
Once the teacher finally finished listing each of his students names, he began speaking again.
"Alright class, I wanna make something clear. This class is gonna require the biggest amount of skill you can possibly deliver. All the skills you get from your other classes, they're gonna be very useful in this class. Believe me.", said Machamp.
"Oh Arceas, this class sounds like it's gonna be hard.", said Sylveon.
"It's gonna be worse because of the fact Golisopod's whole gang is here.", said Jolteon.
"Don't worry Sylveon. If he's chosen to fight you, just try using that aura power of yours to stop the fight. It might lower his confidence, and ruin his reputation", said Umbreon.
"Thanks Umbre! But what if it doesn't work?", Sylveon asked.
"If he tries to flirt with you in the middle of the fight, he'll still get pretty humiliated.", said Umbreon.
"What do you think would happen then?", Sylveon asked.
"He'll become so unmotivated to keep bullying people.", said Umbreon.
"Guess I should hope to fight him. I'll consider it as a form of revenge for what he did yesterday.", said Sylveon.
"Yeah.", Umbreon replied.
Machamp started to go over some basics rules when in Pokémon battles. As he did this, Umbreon looked over at Golisopod, who didn't seem to acknowledge him. That is, until Tropius looked over at him. He then tapped Golisopod's shoulder, causing him to look over, though before he did, Umbreon looked back at the teacher.
"Alright, now let's get to some battles. I don't feel like boring y'all anymore.", said Machamp.
"Wait, what? We're fighting on the first day?", Jolteon exclaimed.
"Apparently.", Umbreon replied.
"Now, I've got this wheel here of all you guys. Whoever ever it lands on will determine if you're fighting as well as who you are fighting against.", said Machamp.
"We can't even pick who we fight against?!", said Sylveon.
"Why?", Glaceon asked.
"Well, if we could fight against each other, we could at least make sure we don't severally hurt each other.", said Sylveon.
"That's a good point. But that also means if one of us gets paired with one of the bullies, we're screwed!", said Umbreon.
"Guys, look! He's spinning the wheel!", said Flareon as Machamp spun the wheel.
The wheel started to slow down, until it stopped. After a split second, a name buzzed on the digital sign above the wheel.
Drapion
"Uh oh!", said Flareon.
"Oh Arceas, please don't be one of us!", said Jolteon.
"Why? Is he as bad as Golisopod?!", Leafeon asked.
"Yup!", said Vaporeon.
The wheel spun again, until finally landing on another name.
Monferno
The Eeveelutions all sighed out of relief.
Drapion and Monferno walked over to the sides of the battlefield when they were directed to by Machamp.
"Yeah! Go Drapion! Show him no mercy!", Golisopod yelled.
"Yeah! Beat him up!", said Druddigon.
"Alright, Drapion vs Monferno! Are you two ready?", Machamp yelled, with both of them nodding their heads.
"Since that Monferno's a fire type, he has the advantage, right?", Leafeon asked.
"Hate to disagree with you, Leafeon, but that hardly matters. Drapion is a full powerhouse. He's taken down Pokémon way worse than this.", said Vaporeon.
Just then, a large clock activated on the wall opposite to the students, followed by a strange green see-through shield materializing in front of the students.
"What the heck is this?", said Espeon.
"It's the separator. It's to make sure no students in the audience get hit during battle. It's practically impenetrable.", said Jolteon.
"3....2......1.......fight!", Machamp yelled, followed by a large siren sound playing from out of nowhere.
Drapion charged at Monferno, almost catching him with his giant claw, only for the Monferno to jump upwards and drop down on his head. He then jumped back a few feet from behind him, and fired a flamethrower at him.
"Woah! I wasn't expecting that!", said Jolteon.
"Meh. This is only the start of the fight, so they both aren't exactly worn out yet.", said Flareon.
"Your dead meat, kid!", Drapion said as he lunged at the Monferno. Monferno used flamethrower yet again at Drapion, Before it hit him, Drapion fired a barrage of pin missiles towards Monferno, clashing with the flamethrower. The flamethrower started to turn into a bright shade of green until it finally disappeared, resulting in the pin missiles passing through and hitting Monferno.
"What the heck?! How did that happen?", Vaporeon asked.
"I don't know. Pin missile is a bug type move! How did it pass through a flamethrower?!", said Flareon.
"Seems like Drapion has gotten stronger since last year.", said Umbreon.
"If that's the case, I can't imagine how much stronger the others must have gotten.", said Jolteon.
Monferno struggled to get up after being hit, but by the time he did, Drapion charged at Monferno as an insane speed. Before he could hit him, Monferno hit him with a flame charge, sending Drapion hurdling back.
Once he hit him, Monferno hit him with another huge flamethrower, landing a critical hit. At least, that's what everyone thought, until Drapion stood up and starting walking through the flamethrower.
Monferno started breathing his flamethrower harder, causing the flames to grow bigger, and once they did, Drapion stopped moving.
"Could this be over?", Leafeon asked.
"No! Wait, look!", said Glaceon as a bright light shined from Drapion's body.
The flamethrower stopped as the light dimmed, revealing Drapion staring up at the ceiling as his body changed colors, from purple to gold.
"Aw, hell yeah! Drapion's Golden form!", said Golisopod.
"WHAT IN THE SWEET NAME OF ARCEUS??!!!", Glaceon screamed.
"What did he just- did....did he just....", Vaporeon stuttered.
"What just happened to him?!", Leafeon exclaimed.
"The man just turned gold!", said Flareon.
"What is he? Frieza?! Drapion has a golden form?! Does that make him stronger or something?", said Jolteon.
"I think that can answer your question, Jolteon.", said Umbreon.
Drapion hurled towards Monferno before he could react and hit him with a super strong night slash, sending Monferno flying backwards. Before he even touched the ground, Drapion charged towards him and grabbed him with his claw. Purple light emitted from the claws as Monferno moaned in pain.
"What the- what's happening?!", Sylveon asked.
"It's Drapion's ability. His claws are poisoning him.", said Umbreon.
"Oh no! That poor Monferno!", said Sylveon.
Drapion let Monferno go as he collapsed on the floor.
"Monferno is unable to battle! Drapion wins!", said Machamp. "I'm actually quite impressed! I've never seen a Drapion that can do that before!".
Drapion then closed his eyes and he returned back to his base form.
"Is this real life?!", Jolteon asked.
"I'm afraid so.", Umbreon replied.
"Remember what I said earlier? Yeah, scratch that. We're screwed.", said Flareon.
"I hate to say this, but I unfortunately agree.", said Glaceon.
"Now I'm hoping we don't fight today.", said Leafeon.
"I didn't even know he could do that!", said Vaporeon.
Just then, Sylveon got up from her seat and walked over to the teacher as he carried Monferno out the room.
"Don't worry Sylveon, Monferno's going to be just fine.", said Machamp.
"I know. Can you just stand still for a minute?", said Sylveon as she reached out her ribbons towards Monferno.
She wrapped them around his arms and forehead, causing Monferno to open his eyes.
"Oh....thank you Sylveon.....thank you.....that makes me feel a bit better.", said Monferno.
"Alright, come on Monferno. We going to the nurse's office.", said Machamp before walking out.
Sylveon walked back over to the Eeveelutions.
"Is everything ok, Sylveon?", said Umbreon.
"Yeah, I'm fine.", said Sylveon.
"That was awful. How could Drapion even pull off something like that?", said Flareon.
"Not sure. I'm not even sure something like that is possible. I've never read about anything remotely similar to that happening in battle before, aside from Mega Evolutions, Gigantamax, Dynamax, and Z-Moves. Nothing like a......Golden form!", said Espeon.
"Hmm, something about that gives me a theory. I need to find out more. Wait here, guys.", said Vaporeon before morphing into water and rushing over to where the bullies are sitting.
"What did he just do?", Leafeon asked.
"His special ability. Morphing into water. He can control his molecules and liquify his body or something.", said Jolteon.
"Oh, I see.", said Leafeon.
Once Vaporeon made it behind the bullies, he listened in on what they were saying about the battle.
"Well that was a real let-down. I barely spent any time in my Golden form. Hopefully in your battles, you guys can show more of your super forms.", said Drapion.
"Wouldn't be that different. I doubt any students can stand up to my Resistant form.", said Golisopod.
"Or my Blood Rose form.", said Tropius.
"Or my Super Toxic form.", said Druddigon.
"Whatever. The only thing I'm looking forward to is beating up Umbreon, along with the rest of those Eevee-losers.", said Golisopod.
"Oh, c'mon. Why are you so obsessed with those losers?", said Drapion.
"Those guys seem to be forming a friend group. All 8 of them. This will lower my chances of getting close to Sylveon, especially with Umbreon there.", said Golisopod.
"Why Umbreon specifically?", said Druddigon.
"It was the selfie Sylveon posted yesterday. They're already best friends, and probably on the way to becoming a couple.", said Golisopod.
"Oh jeez. That sounds like it could be a problem.", said Tropius.
"No worries. With my Super form, he won't stand a chance.", said Golisopod.
"If that's the case, why didn't you use it when we were chasing them yesterday?", said Tropius.
"Wasn't feeling motivated, I guess. The last thing I want were people calling the cops that we were causing property damage with our super forms.", said Golisopod.
Vaporeon slithered away without being noticed and returned back to the group, morphing back into his normal form.
"Huh? Vaporeon? What's going on over there?", Jolteon asked.
"Guys, I- I hate to say this, but it appears that all the bullies have super forms.", said Vaporeon.
"What are you talking about?", Umbreon asked.
"They all said they have forms similar to Drapion's. Golisopod said he had something about being resistant, Tropius said something about a Blood Rose, and Druddigon said something about being super toxic.", said Vaporeon.
"So they all have 'super forms' as well? That's quite concerning.", said Espeon.
"Exactly. We don't wanna end up like that Monferno. Let's just hope we don't get picked.", said Jolteon.
After a few minutes, Machamp came back and went to the wheel.
"Alright students. Let's do another matchup!", said Machamp before spinning the wheel.
"Who's it gonna be?", Flareon asked in anticipation.
The wheel stopped.
Golisopod
"Oh dear Arceas no! Please no!", said Vaporeon.
"Wait, who's he fighting?", said Jolteon.
Machamp spun the wheel again, until it stopped on a name that made all the Eeveelutions scared.
Umbreon
"Oh no..........", said Vaporeon.
"Wait, Umbreon is fighting Golisopod?!", said Sylveon.
"Oh no....oh no this is bad....this is VERY BAD!", said Jolteon.
"Well, let's just pray I make it out alive.....", said Umbreon.
"Bro, wait! You can't fight him! What if his super form gets out?!", said Vaporeon.
"Well, what can I do to back out?!", said Umbreon as he nervously stepped towards the battlefield.
"Good luck Umbreon, I suppose.....", said Vaporeon.
"Don't worry, Umbre! You got this!", said Sylveon.
"Thanks Sylveon. Wish me luck, luck in which I survive.", said Umbreon.
Umbreon and Golisopod stepped on opposite sides of the battlefield.
"This time, Umbreon, you're not running away.", said Golisopod.
Umbreon gulped.
"3....2.....1......GO!!!", said Machamp as the alarm sound played again.
Golisopod immediately fired a barrage of pin missiles at Umbreon. Umbreon dodged them barely, and as soon as they ended, Golisopod slammed his claws into the ground, sending out a powerful rock tomb.
"Holy s***! That's a huge rock tomb!", said Jolteon.
Umbreon jumped high in the air, before firing a Shadow Ball at Golisopod. The Shadow Ball hurled towards Golisopod, but before it hit him, Golisopod blocked it with his arm. Once the smoke cleared, Golisopod looked at Umbreon angrily.
"That didn't even leave a scratch on him!", said Flareon.
"It's the defense. Golisopod's defense stat is absurdly large. The only way Umbreon could land a good hit on him is to hit him in either the stomach or face, and even then it's hard to do.", said Jolteon.
"Oh no......Umbreon.....", Sylveon muttered under her breath.
"Is that your best, Umbreon?! Why don't you ring yourself out?", said Golisopod.
Umbreon growled, and then fired a dark pulse at Golisopod. Golisopod stuck out his arms again and blocked it. As the Dark pulse beam kept hitting him, Golisopod started to walk towards Umbreon.
"What the heck is he doing?!", said Sylveon.
"He's walking through that beam like it's nothing.", said Glaceon.
"That has to be doing some kind of damage, right?", said Leafeon.
"Doesn't seem that way. This fight really isn't looking good for Umbreon!", said Vaporeon.
Umbreon stopped firing out of exhaustion. Golisopod then took that opportunity to run towards Umbreon with his claws raised in the air glowing purple.
"That's poison jab!", said Flareon.
Golisopod swung at Umbreon with his poison jab, but then Umbreon's eyes glowed blue and Golisopod's claw stopped moving.
"Oh, that's psychic!", said Espeon.
"That was a good move!", said Sylveon.
"What the hell? Why can't I move?", said Golisopod before being hurled backwards.
"Ha! Take that, Golisopod! Now take this!", said Umbreon before firing a second dark pulse at Golisopod.The dark pulse hit him right in the stomach.
"Yes! Go Umbreon!", said Jolteon.
"Got him at his weak spot! Let's go!", said Vaporeon.
"Yay, Umbre! I knew you could do it!", said Sylveon.
"No, wait, hold on, what is he doing?!", Glaceon screamed as a light emitted from Golisopod.
"Yeah, Golisopod! Show him your true power!", said Druddigon.
"Oh crap. HE'S BRINGING OUT HIS SUPER FORM!!!", said Jolteon.
The dark pulse disappeared as Golisopod changed forms. Once the light disappeared, he was revealed to have changed into his super form.
Resistant Golisopod.
"Oh no......no.....not again.......", said Vaporeon.
"Yeah, now mess him up, Golisopod!", said Drapion.
"Uh......what the hell is this?", said Umbreon.
"Try and attack me all you want, Umbreon. I'm invincible!", said Golisopod.
Umbreon fired a shadow ball at Golisopod, and once it hit him, Golisopod didn't show any signs of reaction.
"That was pathetic.", said Golisopod before rushing at Umbreon with quick speed.
"Oh my Arceas! I didn't even know Golisopod could run that fast!", said Vaporeon.
"It must be that form. It's boosting his stats too. Only it makes his defense stat much more strong.", said Jolteon.
"Makes sense. It would explain why that shadow ball had no effect.", said Glaceon.
"Get over here, Umbreon!", said Golisopod as he ran towards Umbreon, while at the same time, Umbreon ran away.
"Quit being a coward and fight me!", said Golisopod before firing another set of pin missiles.
"Woah! Hey, hey maybe you can just chill out, Golisopod, maybe?!", said Umbreon.
"No chill! Only fighting! So come and fight me you fool!", said Golisopod, speeding up.
Umbreon then turned around and used psychic again, sending Golisopod flying back.
"Yeah, go Umbreon! Keep pushing him back!", said Flareon.
"Haha, was that supposed to hurt or something?", said Golisopod, immediately getting back up.
Umbreon used psychic again, trying to hold Golisopod back, though for some reason, he couldn't lift him up in the air.
Golisopod, despite being held back, started to slowly walk towards Umbreon.
"How?! How could he possibly resist psychic?!", said Espeon.
"That's shouldn't even be possible!!!", said Jolteon.
"Give up, Umbreon. I'm way better than you, and once I win this, Sylveon would like me!", said Golisopod.
"You can't be serious.....", Umbreon replied.
"Umbreon, watch out!", Sylveon called out.
Golisopod eventually reached Umbreon and grabbed him, causing his psychic effect to wear off. Golisopod picked Umbreon up and threw him against the wall.
"Umbreon, no!", Sylveon cried out.
"Umbreon, get up! He's coming for you!", Jolteon yelled.
"Owwwwww, ow, my back......", said Umbreon.
Golisopod stomped up to him and picked him up, pinning him against the wall.
"This......is........OVER!!!!!!", said Golisopod as he raised his claw as he was about to jab Umbreon with it. Umbreon closed his eyes as Golisopod's claw lit up.
"Umbreon!!!! Mr. Machamp, call it off!!!!", Sylveon exclaimed as she ran over to the teacher.
Golisopod was about to jab Umbreon with the poison jab, but then a loud alarm sound played again.
"Time's up! This battle is over!", said Machamp.
"Wait, what?!", Golisopod asked.
"Golisopod! The fight is over. Put Umbreon down!", said Machamp.
"Ugh....fine.", Golisopod replied before putting Umbreon down.
"This isn't over, wimp.", said Golisopod before walking away from Umbreon, who was trying to stand up.
"Umbreon, you put up a good fight. You and Golisopod. I'm quite impressed." , said Machamp.
"Uh...thanks....", Umbreon replied before walking back over to the Eeveelutions.
"Dude, you ok?", Vaporeon asked.
"Yeah....my goodness.....that was terrifying...", Umbreon replied.
"We're glad to see you're ok.", said Jolteon.
"Yeah. Sylveon even got so worried she ran to Mr. Machamp and tried to get him to end the fight.", said Leafeon.
"Wait, what? Really?", Umbreon asked.
"Yeah. I didn't want to see you get stabbed in the face with that poison jab.", said Sylveon.
"Oh, well, thanks Sylveon. I appreciate it.", said Umbreon.
"Well, let's just keep praying that none of us get picked next.", said Jolteon.
"You can say that again. For a minute, I actually felt like I was gonna die in there.", said Umbreon.
"Yeah, but to think, you actually held your own against Golisopod! That's awesome, dude! You should be proud of that!", said Jolteon.
"Yeah. Honestly, as OP as that super form was, you fighting him was honestly pretty awesome.", said Vaporeon.
"Yeah, especially when you got some good hits on him with Dark Pulse and Psychic!", said Espeon.
"I know! It made me feel good when I managed to hit him. Though, the moment he had me against the wall, he actually looked like he wanted to kill me. Why do you think he wanted to do that?!", said Umbreon.
"Maybe you just annoy him.", said Flareon.
"No, it has to be something else.", said Umbreon.
Sylveon thought about it for a few moments, and the moment she realized why Golisopod must have been so angry, she began to say it, but stopped mid first word, deciding to stay quiet.
—————————————————————————
—————————————————————————
After school, the boys decided to just hang out at the pizza place for a while.
"So guys....two days into school....and things can't be crazier.", said Vaporeon.
"Yeah......what are we gonna tell mom and dad when they arrive?", said Jolteon.
"What do you mean?", Umbreon asked.
"Made 4 new friends, with one of them being the love interest of one of the biggest bullies in the school. Umbreon almost got stabbed in the face. We got chased on the way home. Basically, we'd be telling them to move us to another school we say any of that.", said Jolteon.
"I can't help but agree. The last thing we want is mom freaking out and moving us to a place like Mythics.", said Umbreon.
"Hey, what's wrong with Mythics?", said Vaporeon.
"Not gonna lie, Vaporeon, I just think it's a weird school. Heard a lot of rumors about that place.", said Umbreon.
"Yeah. Rumors that it's one of the best schools around!", said Vaporeon.
"Listen, Vaporeon. We know you've wanted to go there since middle school, but honestly, I don't like that school either. I've met a few students from that school. I wouldn't say they were the nicest to me, but people can change.", said Flareon.
"Yeah! Exactly! What Flareon said!", said Vaporeon.
"Still though, you really wanna transfer in sophomore year, especially when we've got some new friends who enjoy hanging out with us?", said Jolteon.
"Yeah, fair point. I would say Leafeon and Espeon do enjoy it when we talk to them.", said Vaporeon.
"You think so?", said Jolteon.
"Yeah.", Vaporeon replied.
"Yes!", Jolteon whispered under his breath.
"Sup boys! Here's your pizza.", said Gengar as he came up to their table and placed down the pizza.
"Aw, sweet! Thanks Gengar!", said Flareon.
"Aye, no problem. Hey, Umbreon, everything OK? You look a bit shaken up.", said Gengar.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a crazy day, that's all.", said Umbreon.
"He fought Golisopod in battle class, AND HE DIDN'T LOSE.", said Jolteon.
"Oh, you beat the big bad bully?", said Gengar.
"Nah, it was a draw. The time ran out.", said Umbreon.
"Ah. Well, just be grateful he didn't mess you up bad.", said Gengar.
"Yeah....", Umbreon replied.
"Well, you guys enjoy now. ", said Gengar before leaving the table.
"You know, something tells me we're in for some crazy stuff this year.", said Flareon as he grabbed a slice.
"Honestly, Golisopod and the others may not seem like our biggest worries this year.", said Jolteon.
"How?", said Umbreon.
"I....I honestly don't know.", said Jolteon.
