Vol.2: Chapter 2: Blueberry Academy

After Lumi, Joy and Jolene returned to Prisma, everyone settled down mostly and took their seats. Tulip was glaring at me, so that was a thing as well, thankfully Geeta was still standing. It looked like she was going to speak, so I ignored the purple haired demon trying to bore holes in my skull with her eyes.

"Can everyone please calm down," Geeta called out as everyone tried to ask questions at the same time. "I am sure that everyone has questions, and that is the reason why you have all been gathered."

Once everyone was quiet, Geeta continued. "As you can see, Landon's abilities are very likely to cause a big stir all over the world. We have been lucky that we have not had much interference from any of the evil Pokémon organizations, but that will change if this information gets out. Not only that, but I am sure that it would draw the attention of the whole world to us."

Iono put up her hand, and Geeta nodded for her to speak.

"Why worry about it? Do you really think we are going to be able to keep something like this a secret? I saw the beauty pageant, and I am sure others have as well. Do you really think it is wise to hide him? Won't that just make this not only worse for him, but us as well?" She asked, and many of the others at the table followed suit, and nodded along.

The older dark skinned woman with a long fancy braid sticking out of the back of her backwards trucker hat stood up. She slapped her hands down on the table, and looked around at everyone.

"Yo, listen up, gather 'round the table,

Ryme's got a message, let's lay down the fable.

Landon's got skills, he's got some rare traits,

Catchin' Pokémon and people, man, that's first-rate.

But Geeta's worried, says keep it on the low,

Hide the abilities, like it's a secret show.

But I say let it out, let the world know,

Work as a team, and let the vibes flow.

Blueberry Academy, out in the sea,

Floating high, where the waves run free.

Landon should head there, with his crew,

Show 'em what Prisma and his Pokémon can do.

Gym leaders, unite, come and visit the place,

Feel the energy, the vibes, and the space.

One of us should watch over him, no doubt,

But pick someone sly, who won't get caught.

So let's drop the secrecy, let's make a plan,

Spread the word, let the world understand.

Landon's the Guardian, Prisma's his home,

Let the adventure begin, let the journey roam."

I just stared, unsure of what I had actually just heard. Did that adult just rap her plan out to everyone?

"I think you might be onto something, Ryme. What do the rest of you think? Who do you think would be good to send with him as his mentor?" Geeta asked, but I put up my hand.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com I the only one that barely understood a lick of what she just said?" I asked, and everyone nodded, and I sighed.

"Alright, let's simplify things. I appreciate the enthusiasm, Ryme, but can we discuss the practical aspects of revealing my abilities and heading to Blueberry Academy? What are the potential risks, and how can we mitigate them?" I suggested, trying to bring the conversation back to a more focused track.

"Oh! I am fine with getting a chance to beat the stuffing out of him! I will make you pay for capturing my friend!" Tulip declared with a maniacal laugh.

"Huh?" I asked, but before anyone could reply, Nemona appeared in a flash on the table with Iono.

"Did I hear something about a battle?! With my boy, Landon?! And he needs a partner?!" Nemona asked, and Iono nodded with her eyes filled with sparkles, while everyone was staring slack jawed at Nemona in her orange bikini. Why was everyone in bikinis today?!

"Yus! We need a second... what do you even call him?" Iono asked curiously, and Nemona laughed.

"No clue, but I am kind of the same now!" Nemona declared, and then held up her hand.

A small ball of fire appeared, but then vanished quickly, but Iono's eyes almost fell out of her head.

"Did you get that from being captured?! You really let him catch you?! I thought you were such a free spirit?!" Iono asked, but then Geeta cleared her throat.

"I don't think the table is the right place for this conversation. Head outside and have your battle and talk out there while we discuss this problem more. Once we know the results, then we can finalize everything," Geeta explained.

Iono, Tulip, and Grusha all nodded in agreement, and without wasting any time, the three of them headed outside. Nemona, still in her orange bikini, flashed me a mischievous grin before following them.

I sighed, and got up, but then a few others stood up, and started to head out. Soon the rest of the followed, and Geeta sighed, then looked at me.

"It looks like everyone wants to see your battle first. I guess we will discuss this more after," She said, looking tired.

"I am sorry I am causing such a big headache for you," I said apologetically, but Geeta shook her head, the blonde and blue highlights dancing though her black hair as she did.

"No, by the sounds of this you are just trying to do what is best, but this is quite the ordeal. I just hope that things don't get out of hand like this again. Even though you stopped whatever attacked this area, there is still a massive scar from the fight. I just wonder if we weren't just lucky this time. I think it is very important that we get you to blueberry Academy, and start training you as soon as possible. There is a very good chance that you might be the only thing short of a legendary Pokémon to stop whatever is coming," Geeta said and I nodded.

"I shouldn't have come to this timeline," I said, but Geeta shook her head.

"No matter what reality you go to, someone would be at risk. you are here now, and we will help you get stronger. If you are what they are looking for, then it might be all over if they get you. Whether or not that is the case, I don't think anyone in their right mind would be willing to risk that after seeing the crater you two created," Geeta said, and then walked past me, leaving me in the tent alone.
