Pokemon The High School Life: Part 17
...
Five days before Vee's speech
...
"You were right Jay, he wasn't cut out to be one of us." Zane says to Jay as he watches Charz fly away with Devil "Now it seems we have a new problem to deal with."
As Charz flew off in the distance Zane decided to leave with Jay and get some food. The two went to Zane's go-to place which happens to be some fast food place with cheap but decently tasty food. Zane gets his food, a burger with fries and a soda which should be enough. Jay brings his food, a triple bacon cheeseburger with a large poutine and large Dr. Passimian to drink. Zane sees the sheer amount of food on Jay's plate and can't help himself from saying something.
"I think its time for you to seriously consider salads" Zane says to Jay.
"What do you mean?" Jay asks.
"I mean you could feed your whole family with that meal!" Zane says quite loudly.
"I'm really hungry!" Jay exclaims.
"Yeah, I can tell." Zane says with a sarcastic tone "So about this Charz problem... What are we gonna do about him?"
Jay thinks for a bit "I mean we could just do the usual shtick. Just rough him up a bit and tell him not to squeal."
"I don't think that will work with him, he may be a softie but he ain't no pushover" Zane says thinking for a bit "This is not a good situation we are in, if Charz would have just left without Devil we could have just pinned what we did to Devil on him and got him expelled."
"This is some tough stuff... If he squeals..." Jay says.
"He knows never to squeal on us!" Zane says as he slams the table. Some people start looking at the two wondering what the noise is all about when Zane glares at them to look away. Zane tones himself down a bit "He knows what kind of people we are!"
"But you can't rule out the possibility..." Jay says with concern.
"I know..." Zane says "Let's just eat this garbage and think of something at my place."
The two finish up their meals and walk to Zane's place, talking on the way about how to deal with Charz. As they get in the house Zane's mom is there with some new boyfriend she found. Zane doesn't even say hello and heads to his room with Jay. Zane's mom notices him walking away.
"Are you gonna say hello to your mom?" Zane's mom says.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Zane says without much care.
Zane disappears before his mom can respond and goes to his room. The two resume their conversation.
"So Zane" Jay says "We can't rule out the possibility of Charz squealing on you."
"I know..." Zane says "If he does we will have to retaliate somehow."
"What if he gets one of us in some really serious trouble?" Jay says.
"It won't come to that Jay, but if it does... We hit hard!" Zane says.
"If he does squeal want to go after one of his friends or something?" Jay says.
"If he manages to get one of us expelled we go after not just one but all of his friends." Zane says "I am the star of the football team and you are my partner in the team, he will ruin things for both of us! I don't care if I get in serious trouble but I will make sure he understands how serious his actions are if he gets one of us expelled!"
"You're right Zane, I feel the same way" Jay says "If either you or me get expelled his friends will be so beaten they will be doing school in the hospital!"
"You're right about that!" Zane says with a small chuckle "But I do hope Charz knows what's good for him and keeps his mouth shut!"
"Agreed" Jay says.
...
Four days before Vee's speech
...
The next day Zane wakes up to a call on his phone. Zane doesn't usually wake up this early, the first class is an easy skip anyways. He picks up the call.
"Is this Zane Hunt?" A familiar voice says.
"Yeah, who is this?" Zane says.
"This is Vice Principal Mewtwo calling to let you know that you have been expelled from our school due to various offenses and due to hospitalizing a student" Says the Vice Principal.
Zane couldn't believe what he is hearing 'That Charz seriously squealed on me! Does he not know who I am!'
"Please do not return to Moonview High School unless if calling in advance, if you are found near the property without prior authorization authorities will be called." Vice Principal Mewtwo says through the phone as it closes.
Zane drops his phone on his bed and starts punching the walls. He doesn't know what to do anymore, his entire career is ruined now and all he can think about is causing some damage. After causing quite a mess he calms down 'Think Zane... What do I do now.. What can I do now?' Zane thinks until a despicable plan comes to mind 'This is an act of war!'
This was an act of war to Zane and now that he is expelled he has nothing to lose. Zane calls up Jay to hear that Jay got suspended and tells him to meet him at the same fast food joint as yesterday. Zane storms out of the house and makes his way to the fast food joint. On his way to the fast food joint while walking in front of some houses a small toy car rolls to Zane's feet. The toy car is blue and about a foot long, sporting some white racing stripes. A young Pichu that looks no older than 4 walks up to to Zane in a hurry.
"Um, mister... Can I have my toy back?" The child asks.
Zane, already livid with the news about his expulsion, squats down to the Pichu's eye level "Is this your car?"
"Yes... It is my favorite toy" The Pichu says, struggling to speak a bit as he is still learning more complicated words.
Zane thinks for a moment and reaches his hand to give the toy but as the Pichu reaches for it Zane jerks away his own hand with the toy. Zane then takes the toy car and smashes it hard against a nearby street lamp, breaking the toy into pieces. The Pichu starts crying and runs back home making Zane feel a bit better. 'That little kid should learn sooner than later how the world works. The sinners always win in the end and the saints go crying back home.' Zane laughs and walks away with a chip in his step. As Zane gets closer to the fast food joint the rain cloud returns as he remembers what Charz did to him. Zane thinks about what Charz did but also now thinks about how he doesn't have to worry about expulsion anymore, Zane could cause so much pain to others with no repercussion. Zane thinks about the Pichu and how good he felt after breaking his toy and making him cry and wants to feel more of that. 'I have nothing to lose anymore' Zane thinks 'And I have everything to gain'. Zane doesn't feel all that satisfied for having nothing to lose as his life is practically ruined and gets back in a slump.
Zane walks in to the fast food joint and spots Jay eating a meal that is seemingly larger than the last one. Rather than having a combo Jay decided to replace the side meal with a second triple bacon cheeseburger, and extra sauce from the looks of it.
"Zane!" Jay calls over Zane "I see why you come here so often, the food is great and cheap!"
Zane sees the sheer amount of food on Jay's plate and can't help himself. Zane snatches the burger out of Jay's hand and takes the second burger and dumps it in the trash. Jay looks pissed and gets up as Zane comes back.
"What's the matter with you Zane!" Jay says angrily.
"What's the matter with me? I get expelled and I come here to see you devouring this fatty garbage!" Zane yells "Control your appetite before you become as big as that burger you were going to eat!"
Jay settles down and grabs a seat while Zane stares at Jay. Zane then looks around as the entire place is staring at them. "You have nothing better to do, huh?" Zane says loudly to the crowd "Go back to eating your garbage and mind your own business!" Zane yells as he sits back down watching everyone look away. 'Cowards, all of them!' Zane thinks to himself.
"Things are really bad" Jay says, choosing his words carefully "You get expelled and I get a week suspension..."
"It's all that Charz's fault! If he would have kept his mouth shut none of us would be in this position!" Zane says clenching his fists.
"Do you really want to go to war?" Jay asks concerned "There is a good chance we will get arrested if we do anything reckless."
"Like we can even go to jail" Zane scoffs "We're still young, they can't arrest us!"
"That is true, but still I get a bad feeling we won't just get off scott free" Jay says.
"Jay, I have nothing to lose" Jay says "I don't care if you wanna cower away but I am gonna make sure that Charz gets what is coming."
"Alright Zane, I won't stop you from doing what you need to do" Jay says "And if you need any help with what you need to do I will be there."
"You better be there Jay" Zane says "You better be..."
...
Three days before Vee's speech
...
Zane and Jay are looking at the school paper to see what large events they could disrupt to send their message to Charz. The headline for this edition is Principal Arceus Retires, Vice Principal Mewtwo To Become New Principal with more info about the elections and upcoming dance.
"It seems like the only real event we can cause some damage is the dance" Jay says.
"Yeah it seems that way Jay" Zane says.
"So what should we do, hurt some of Charz's friends while he is enjoying himself and then cause some scene to make him notice?" Jay asks.
"Yeah that usually works out the best" Zane says "But this time it's gotta be over the top! The usual deal won't cut it this time."
"True, well what about also going after his date or something" Jay says.
"That can work, we just gotta figure out who that is" Zane says.
Both of them think for a moment about who they can go after.
Jay thinks of something "You think he's going with Vee?"
"Maybe... But I don't think so" Zane says "But we could always go after her anyways."
"True but I think we should go after someone else" Jay says "Like maybe Tric or Devil or something..."
Zane thinks for a moment and gets a despicable idea "Jay that is brilliant! We go after Devil!"
"I mean sure but why not after someone else too" Jay asks.
"I mean we could also do that but Devil is the perfect target!" Zane says "Not only is he close to Vee but also Charz saved him before we could take care of him. It sends the message that we don't leave business half finished."
"That is a good point but is Devil even back at school?" Jay asks.
"Maybe" Zane says with concern "We should scope out the place and use some of our connections there to figure out if he's back."
"Good idea, I will start calling whoever I know" Jay says.
Zane and Jay start calling whoever they can to figure out what is going on at the school with Devil. They find out Devil has not been back at school ever since the incident and that Charz has gone back. They also find out that Devil isn't at the hospital anymore so he was released. Jay is on the phone talking to someone about Devil when he hears something that makes him start to laugh. Zane looks at Jay funny.
"What's so funny" Zane asks.
Jay can barely control himself "Get this Zane... Devil is not Devil's real name!"
Zane looks in shock "Really! What's his real name?"
Jay can barely contain his laughter anymore "It's Ashley!"
Both of them burst into laughter, both laughing that Devil's name is actually a girls name. They both start to calm down a bit but still have some chuckles left in them.
"Man that makes me want to do this more and more!" Zane says with a flame in his eyes "Now I can't wait for that day we find Devil and finish what we started!"
"I couldn't agree more" Jay says excitedly.
"Let's go to school tomorrow and scout it out, maybe try to figure out his pattern" Zane says "Then we hit hard right on the day of the dance."
"Sounds like a plan" Jay says.
...
Two days before Vee's speech
...
Zane arrives at the school property watching the front door from a distance, with Jay watching the back door. Most of the people have come to school with Devil nowhere to be found. They decide to stay for about another hour in case Devil shows up late but he doesn't show. After the hour they decide to leave and go grab some food at the usual spot. Zane gets his usual combo and Jay gets a smaller meal than last time. They look disappointed.
"Man today was a bust..." Jay says.
"Yeah, we should go back tomorrow and see if he shows up" Zane says.
"Maybe we should think of a backup plan, you know in case Devil doesn't show" Jay says.
"Have some faith in me" Zane preaches "In due time Devil will come."
"I guess so..." Jay says.
They finish their meals and then head back to Zane's place to dig up more dirt.
Yeah apparently the message is too long, I will post the second half asap.

Second Half
...
One day before Vee's speech
...
Zane and Jay head back to the school to scout it, this time Zane takes the back. Zane decides to hide near the old tree as it gives the best view of the back of the school. As per usual there is no sight of Devil, just other random people. Zane keeps on waiting, deciding for this time to wait longer. Zane is determined to find Devil and deal with him, no matter what the cost is.
...
An hour passes and still no luck. Zane is just standing there like a fool waiting for Devil to show up but he doesn't come. Zane decides to give it longer, maybe until lunch. Zane starts feeling a bit drowsy and decided to rest up a bit.
...
Zane wakes up abruptly to the sound of someone yelling to someone.
"HEY!!! Don't go!" the girl yells "Sorry I'm late..."
Zane takes a look to see who disturbed him and sees a familiar Hisuian Zoroark. He doesn't remember her name but he knows she was running against him for Student President and was losing badly.
"I… accidentally… took… a wrong turn." Says the Hisuian Zoroark.
Zane tries to get a better angle without compromising his position to see who the Hisuian Zoroark is talking to. Zane moves a bit and spots Vee chatting to the Hisuian Zoroark. Zane thinks this is a perfect opportunity to get some info about Charz and his friend group.
"I need you to do something for me" the Hisuian Zoroark asks rather directly.
"O-Oh, uh, what is it" Vee stammers.
"I need you to get me information that will ruin Thur's reputation" The Hisuian Zoroark says.
Zane catches this and thinks of this as a good opportunity to sabotage that Hisuian Zoroark and Vee at the exact same time. Zane also owes Thur a favor for letting him know about what Devil did before.
"Oh, well that's easy! Thur has bullied me since kindergarten" Vee says.
"Wait, he's a jerk to you?" The Hisuian Zoroark says almost jumping in glee "That's perfect! Wait, no, that's bad. But for taking him down that's perfect! Why haven't you said anything?"
"I-I don't really enjoy being center of attention" Vee says quietly, almost cowardly "If I were to stand up against him everyone would stare at me. It's hard enough already when I get looks of concern for what happened with Zane. I don't want to add more to it…"
"Look, any other time I would respect your boundaries, but my future is relying on your tragic sob story," The Hisuian Zoroark says in a manipulative fake considerate tone "Please do this for me."
Vee thinks for a moment and Zane almost starts to admire the Hisuian Zoroark for her sneakiness and manipulation. Almost, Zane would never give that much credit to a girl.
"Alright, fine" Vee says.
"Thank you!" The Hisuian Zoroark says "I need to do some planning but I'll see you later!"
Zane watches the Hisuian Zoroark run away, admiring how she played Vee like a fiddle and dumped her the moment she got what she wanted. Zane then figures he should chat with Thur about this, he decides to get some more distance from the school and makes a call. Thur picks up.
"Hey Zane, heard you got expelled" Thur says "That must suck like crazy."
"Yeah it does" Zane says.
"I assume you aren't gonna be going out quietly" Thur says.
"Not if I can help it" Zane says.
"I expect no different from someone like you" Thur says "If there is anything you need let me know."
"That is part of the reason I called you" Zane says "The other part of the reason is that I think we can both help each other out."
"I am listening" Thur says.
"It seems that Hisuian Zoroark is going to be using Vee as a means to boost her platform" Zane says "From what I understand she is gonna be getting Vee to squeal on you."
"Vee would have to be a fool to do something like that..." Thur says "But then again she is a fool. Thanks for letting me know."
"Not a problem" Zane says "Anyways I need to find out about when Devil will be back, I have some unfinished business with him."
"Let me find out, but speaking of this whole Vee situation I think I have a way that both of us can deal with our problems" Thur proposes.
"What are you thinking" Zane asks.
"Tomorrow we are doing speeches first thing in the morning" Thur says "If hypothetically let's say an incident involving a student getting injured were to happen during that speech they would cancel the speeches for the day."
"I'm listening" Zane says.
"And if, let's say someone close Vee were to be caught up in this incident It may deter her from speaking up if you catch my drift" Thur says.
"Loud and clear" Zane says.
"And let's say that Devil were to come in late tomorrow for some faculty meeting and gets caught up in the incident it would maybe give me enough time to give my speech and not enough for Vee to give hers" Thur says.
"Sounds perfect" Zane says "But how are you going to get Devil to come in early?"
"Leave that to me" Thur says "Expect a call tonight letting you know if we will proceed with this."
"Alright" Zane says "Talk to you later."
Zane goes and finds Jay and they head out to eat.
...
Zane is waiting by his phone anxiously, waiting for the signal from Thur to go along with it. Zane doesn't have much of a backup plan, his backup plan involves ruining the dance somehow but it isn't as fleshed out as this plan. This plan has to work, it won't be as messy as the backup plan. While Zane decides to turn on the TV and put on a show the phone rings. Zane runs to pick up the phone.
"Zane, it's me Thur" Thur says "We are good to go for tomorrow, Devil will be arriving at the front entrance at 8:30 am tomorrow."
"Understood" Zane says.
"Make sure to be gone by 8:40 am, my speech should last until then and by then most of the teachers will start patrolling" Thur says "Make sure they find Devil there and don't see you or Jay anywhere near there, understood?"
"Loud and clear" Zane says.
"Good, I will let you know if anything changes" Thur says as he hangs up the phone.
Zane feels a sense of relief, he will be able to get back at Charz and finish what he started with Devil. Zane makes a call to Jay to tell him what Thur told him and sorts things out with him. The plans are in motion.
...
The day of Vee's speech
...
"The weather really sucks today" Zane says as he sees some dark clouds coming.
Zane and Jay are waiting near the front door of the school, it is almost 8:30 am and they are passing time until Devil shows up.
"You think Devil will show?" Jay says.
"Honestly it's a 50/50 shot but better than nothing" Zane says "Worst that happens if he doesn't show up is that we go with our plan B."
"Fair enough" Jay says "The weather looks terrible."
"Yeah it looks awful, good thing I brought a raincoat" Zane says.
"Same here" Jay says, looking around when he notices people leaving their classes "Zane get back."
Zane sees what Jay is seeing and hides with him. They watch all of the students leave their classes and head to the auditorium.
"We shouldn't have anyone interrupting us now..." Zane says despicably.
"Yeah but where is Devil, it's 8:30 on the nose. If he shows up now everyone will see what we are doing" Jay says.
"Let them see it, I don't care" Zane says.
"But Zane if they scoop you because of this you won't be able to get back at Charz" Jay says
Zane grabs Jay and shoves him against the wall, holding him there "What are they gonna do, huh? Give me a detention? Kick me off the football team? Expel me from the school? They have already did the worst thing they could possibly do! Maybe you are worried about the consequences but not me! I have nothing to lose!"
"Alright, I didn't mean nothing by it" Jay says worried.
Zane lets go of Jay and calms down a bit.
"I have a feeling Devil may show up at the back, Jay you go scout him there" Zane says "Plus the back is pretty isolated, no one will be able to make you out."
"On it" Jay says.
Jay heads to the back of the school and Zane goes back to waiting. Zane watches as the last group of students walk to the auditorium wondering where Devil could be. As the last group enters the auditorium the hallways become quiet and devoid of life, with not even a bug type in sight. Zane checks his phone for the time, it is 8:34 am, Devil needs to show up now or it is all for nothing. Zane checks the time again, it is 8:35 am and it is still quiet. Zane starts getting nervous and starts looking around desperately for Devil. A loud thunder storm hits, shocking Zane and making him look up. Zane notices it is starting to rain and that it is getting pretty loud outside. As Zane gets his act together by some stroke of luck he catches a glimpse of Devil heading to the front. Devil does not look that great, he is walking a bit slow and is still bruised up. The timing couldn't be better for Devil to arrive, most of the school is empty and the noise of the thunder and rain gives him and Jay cover if a monitor were to come and check. Zane quickly opens up his phone and tells Jay to come to the front quickly. Closing his phone, Zane makes his way to Devil, making sure to close enough distance between them.
"Hey Devil, long time no see" Zane says.
Devil notices Zane and runs to the door, but he catches him and shoves him against the door. Jay arrives at the front and goes on lookout.
"You and Charz caused me a lot of pain getting me expelled, I think it is only fair if I share some of it with you" Zane says with a wicked smile.
"How swe-" Devil tries to say but before he could finish his remark Zane pummels him.
Zane keeps on going on Devil for a while, not stopping at all. Zane lets out all of his anger on Devil, not stopping but even then it is not enough. Zane is in a blind rage, just going and going for maybe five minutes straight. Jay tries to tell Zane something but he isn't listening to him, Zane is in a deep trance. After a bit Jay grabs Zane which gets Zane pretty upset.
"What's the matter with you Jay!" Zane says upset.
"We gotta go, Thur said to leave by 8:40" Jay says "It is 8:42 and I think I saw someone come out of the auditorium."
"But I'm not done!" Zane says as he looks at Devil. Devil can barely be recognized and he isn't getting up.
"I think it is enough Zane" Jay says with concern.
"It is never enough Jay! Charz ruined my life with what he did!" Zane yells as he gets close to Jay "He needs to know how it feels like to hurt like I did!"
"I understand Zane but-" Jay starts to say as he notices something "A teacher noticed us, we gotta get out of here!"
Zane, as much as he wants to stay and continue knows when to make himself scarce and runs off. Zane didn't even realize that it started to rain hard outside, Jay was soaked to the bone and Zane got pretty dirty from what he did to Devil. They find a nearby bathroom to take shelter from the rain for Jay to dry off and Zane cleans himself off. They both stand near the door watching the rain fall down.
"I don't really feel any better from doing this" Zane says "It felt a bit nice but it feels like I went after the wrong person."
"Maybe..." Jay says "But maybe Charz's reaction will be great."
"Maybe, but I just don't feel that satisfied" Zane says.
"They didn't make us" Jay says "We can always try again."
"Yeah we can" Zane says.
They both watch the rain fall together, wondering what is next for them.1 -
I never thought I'd feel sorry for Zane… with his mom…
1 -
Devil's name is what
Actually, when I originally made Devil, there was supposed to be a reveal that it was a nickname. I think his real name was going to be Alex or something, but Ashley is… exploitable evil laughter
Devil is actually going to the hospital AGAIN (guy needs a break…)
So, @MonstaDash, you said you could give me info for my part?1 -
I know one Ashley who is pretty awesome, he has a chainsaw for a hand.
1 -
Yeah I will list what to do and options for you.
So for Snow and what she did she would be disqualified for having her speech be more about slander than her policies. There are two routes you can go:
1 Have Thur also be disqualified and possibly suspended and the third candidate win, it would be a good win for the group.
2 Have Thur win the election and show the power go to his head, the option I would go with
With Devil he ends up in a coma, it's really bad. With Charz and Aquaria they have a very major mutual crush but turn into mush when they see each other.
You can either postpone the dance or keep it that night, your choice.
That's about it, have fun.
