Pokemon x COTE: Advanced Nurturing Trainer School

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Guidance room



As I was writing this chapter, I noticed that the MC would sometime act like an idiot. I'll try to make him to not look like a fool to much but feel free to say anything if it's too much.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

After Chabashira-sensei went out, chaos erupted in the classroom. The students started complaining about what would they do without points, why were they put in the D class and some other things.

My friends approached my seat. They had grim expression after hearing the explanations from earlier. When they reached my seat, they looked like they didn't know what to say before Saki started to speak.

"Yuu-chan, you don't really look surprised. Did you already know about it?"

"Well yeah. This school is a joint project of the government and the league and my mother is the representative of the league for it so I've already know about it long before entering this school even though she doesn't really do anything and chose someone to act in her place. Also, due to that, I was asked to not say anything about it to anyone."

"I see. In that case, why does someone like Yuu is in this class. From what the teacher came, shouldn't Yuu be admitted in the class A?" Asked Nino.

"I don't really know. Maybe because the interviewers were idiots and narrow-minded. They were filling in anger when I said that to them."

They were surprised after hearing that. It was also the case of Horikita who also listened to us. As for Ayanokoji, he was just as expressionless as usual. That guy's seriously creepy.

"Anyway, from what I can see, Ichika, Miku, Yotsuba, Itsuki, you got at least two red marks while Nino and Shiho aren't that far from it. That's why, from today, I'll help you with your study. You'll come to the mansion every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. We'll still have band practices every Tuesday and Thursday. No matter what, I wouldn't allow any of you to get expelled. Also, if you want some points, just ask me." I said to my friends.

Hearing that, they looked relieved. The atmosphere between us became lighter and brighter. Though, that wasn't the case for our classmates. Thankfully for them, Hirata and Kushida managed to calm the commotion.

"Everyone, from now on, we should pay attention earnestly. This month, we didn't get any point. We can't go on and graduate with a 0 point, can we?"

"Definitely now!" Answered a girl.

"That why, we should try to get some points from now on. Also, Himekawa-kun, I heard your points exceed the billion so I'd like to ask if you could lend some points to those who are in need. That would be really helpful."

"Hah? Why the fuck would I do that? My friends are one thing but I'm not doing charity. If you want points, get them by yourselves." I couldn't help but feel irritated at what he said.

"Hey, aren't you selfish? Since you have so much money, why don't you just give us some. It wouldn't hurt you!" Said Yamauchi.

"When you're at it, why don't you go to every rich person in the country and asked them to give you some money since they have so much of it. Anyway I won't give any of it so end of the discussion."

He seems like he wanted to say something but didn't. He only gritted his teeth and sat down.

"Are you really sure about that Himekawa-kun?"

"Absolutely! So don't waste your time on it Hirata."

"I see… Oh right, since your mother is an elite 4, do you know anything about how to raise our class' points?"

"Yeah I know. But due to the school's policies, I can't say anything."

"…I see. If that's the case, there's nothing we can do."

After school, Hirata was on the podium, using the blackboard to prepare for the discussion.

Yamauchi's tried to sell his console to get some points while Karuizawa asked her friends to lend her some points.

At that moment, a voice came out of the loudspeaker after a jingle.

«Ayanokoji-kun and Himekawa-kun from class D, Chabashira-sensei is calling for you. Please come to the staff room. I repeat …»

"Eh! Yuu, did you do something bad?"

"Why do you think I did something bad, Yotsuba?"

"Then, why would the teacher call for you?"

"Maybe for some kind of bullshit! Anyway, I'll have to go. I'll meet you in the mansion later."

"Okay then. See you later darling!" The girls who heard Nino saying that whispered among themselves with some excitements.

With that, I went out of the classroom with Ayanokoji before going up the staff room.

Chabashira-sensei want there when we reached the staff room so I asked the teacher with a mirror on hand.

"Excuse me, is Chabashira-sensei here?"

"Sae-chan? She was here a few moment ago. Look like she had something to do. Do you want to wait inside?"

"What do you think?" I asked Ayanokoji.

"Um, well, I think I'll wait in the hallway."

"Then, we'll wait there." I said back to the teacher.

"I'm Hoshinomiya Chie, the responsible for the class B. Sae-chan and me are best friend since high school. By the way, why did sae-chan call you there? Nee, nee, why?"

"Why don't you just ask her?"

"Um, well… anyway, what's your name?"

"Himekawa Yuu."

"Ayanokoji Kiyotaka."

"Oh! So that's you guys! You should be popular right? Do you have girlfriends?"

"Why do you care?"

"Eeehhh ? Of course I want to know! You enjoy your youth right? Or could it be that you're a tsuntsun?" She tried to poke my chin with her finger but I immediately stopped her.

While I won't deny she's cute but I don't like it when some girls who aren't my friend or harem member act like they're close to me. It reminds me those gold digger in some parties I attended with my mother.

Thankfully, Chabashira-sensei arrived at that moment act intervened before asking us to enter the guidance room. Hoshinomiya-sensei tried to follow us and Chabashira-sensei wanted to stop her.

At that moment, a beautiful pink hair girl came and stopped Hoshinomiya-sensei.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, do you have time now? The student council have a matter to discuss."

She looked at us for a moment before facing Hoshinomiya-sensei again.

"Look, she's looking for you. Hurry up and go."

"Mou~ I think she'll get mad if I stay any longer. See you later, Himekawa-kun, Ayanokoji-kun. Well, let's go to the staff room Ichinose-san."

After she went away, we also entered the guidance room, which was just next the staff room.

When we went in, she asked if to go to the office kitchen of the guidance room and wait there quietly before opening the guidance room's door again.

"Here, come in. Well then, what do you want to ask me, Horikita?"

Horikita went in just at that moment. As expected of an anime world, the timing was really perfect.

"I will ask you frankly, why was I put into the class D?"

"Are you really asking why?"

"Today, sensei just said that the class were divided by superiority, and class D was the lowest collection of leftovers."

"I did say that. Looks like you think of yourself as a "superior" person."

"I believe that I nearly resolved all the problems on the entrance exam, and had no big mistakes during the interview. At the very least, I don't think I should be in the class D."

"Pfff Hahahahaha!" I couldn't help but to burst in laugher after hearing what she said. Since she now know I was in, I exited the kitchen and joined them. Ayanokoji also followed me. Horikita was surprised to see us while Chabashira-sensei glared at me.

"Sorry, sorry. Horikita, if this was a normal school, then you'll be right. But not only this is a trainer school but the best one in the country which has a very high standard. Also let me tell you, if you view yourself as an excellent person but still got admitted in the D class, that mean you have a major defect in the eyes of the school."

She was stunned after hearing that. She couldn't help but doubt herself a little. But she didn't seem to be fully convinced.

"Certainly, you have the ability to study, especially when you were ranked fourth in the entrance exams. However, this school's goal is to produce excellent people, especially as Pokemon trainers. It's a big mistakes to think you can be assigned into a superior class by only studying. That was the very first thing explained at the entrance ceremony. Beside, think about it was carefully. Do you think someone like Sudou would make it if we determined acceptance by intelligence?"

Horikita was speechless after hearing Chabashira-sensei saying that. While that was true. I seriously don't know how the hell did someone like Yamauchi got accepted.

"Sensei, I'd like to confirm, is my placement in the class D the truth and there wasn't any mistake in my evaluation?"

"Too bad, but there was no mistake in your placement in the class D. But don't worry, as I said this morning, classes can overtake and surpass one other. There is a possibility of rising to the class A before graduation."

"It does not seem like an easy path. How will the immature class D get more points than the class A? No matter how I look at it, It is impossible."

"In that case, I'll tell you the reason of these two's presence here."

"Please keep it short."

Looking down at her clipboard, Chabashira-sensei laughed.

"You're an interesting student Ayanokoji."

"Not as interesting as someone who has a strange surname like Chabashira."

"Pfff hahahaha, I didn't know you could tell jokes Ayanokoji." Even though something like this happened in the canon, I could help but laugh.

Chabashira-sensei took an answer sheet from the clipboard.

"50 points in social studies, 50 points in science, 50 points in English, 50 points in breeding theory and 50 points in battle theory. And it was also the same for the recent test. Do you know what does this mean?"

In surprise, Horikita looked at the sheet before looking at him.

"What a frightening coincidence."

"Hoh, you're claiming that this result is a coincidence to the very end? This is clearly intentional."

"It's a coincidence, and you have no proof. Anyway, what benefit could I get from manipulating the results?"

"If you want proof, should I tell them about that "room"?"

Hearing me saying that, he got on his guard for a moment and just stayed silent. Chabashira-sensei and Horikita were curious about it discussion but didn't say anything about it after seeing Ayanokoji's reaction.

"Well, there's also Himekawa-kun. I think you already know his score and you should have got a glimpse of how good his Pokemon are. He got into this class due to the fact that he disrespected his interviewers and that he didn't order his Pokemon during the battle exam. He only relied on the raw power of his Pokemon, which was judged as a failure for a trainer."

"Why the hell would I have to do that? The examiner's Pokemon were just too weak. Since my Pokemon alone were enough to win against them, why would I need to waste my energy for them?"

"Don't forget you didn't do anything when you Pokemon got wild and toyed with the opponent's Pokemon. You couldn't even control your Pokemon. If Pokemon can't be controlled, you're deemed as a failure of a trainer."

"*Sigh* I see you're as narrow-minded as those interviewers. The battles were so boring so they just made it more interesting." This is the major problem of people in this world, or so I think. They always talk about "controlling" Pokemon. In their eyes Pokemon are just nothing but tools. Thankfully I was born into a clan that care about their Pokemon as companions.

"*Sigh* I won't argue about that. Horikita, if you really want to get graduated in the class A, those two would be the keys for that, or so I think."

"I see. Well, for now, I'll take my leave." Said Horikita.

"Wait, Horikita. If you want to know what you lack, I'd advise you to get along with Kushida and spend time with her as much as you can. I'm not asking you to trust her, I just think this would be a good thing for you. Well then, I'll also take my leave." I left the guidance room after I said that.

Just after I went out of the room, my phone rang. Looking at the screen, I saw that it was the chairman who called me so I took it.

Don't forget the power stones.
