KBA::. It Takes A Strong Team Part 2

Chapter preview: First day as team leader, Scarlet is stressing out. Will she stay calm or boil over? Petie and Rose © the_lost_one -----

It Takes A Strong Team Part 2 Our full figured Darmanitan was sitting in class, tapping her notebook with her pencil. The teacher was speaking but she wasn’t taking notes. She had something else on her mind. Preferably the fact that she was now in a team. Not only that, but she was assigned to be the team leader of this unorthodox team. And that’s not all! The teacher, who tricked them into making this team, had already scheduled a match within two weeks against Team Indigo. Such a small amount of time to adjust to all this. “Ms. Vatra, pay attention in my class!” shouted her raichu teacher. “S-sorry!” she stuttered as she wrote down on her notebook from the lessons. She sighed again as her thoughts drifted back to her team. She knew little about them and she has no idea how exactly to train them. Their first meeting wasn’t all that great. Infact, it was bad! She would need to know how they battle, so maybe they have a chance to beat their opponent. Thankfully, Mrs. Acquas had set up their schedule to use the arena until that day comes. So there won’t be those misunderstandings again. Her train of thought was interrupted when a spark jolted from her desk. “Do I need to repeat myself Ms Vatra?!” “N-No sir! Sorry Mr. Raikiri!” ***** Scarlet sighed as she stood in front of the entrance of the arena. School has ended and it's now time for the first training. Training with four girls she doesn’t even know. She took a deep breath and walked right in. The rest of the team was sitting in a circle, Emma being the only one in a chair. The darmanitan took a seat in front of them. “What up leader!” Riley greeted, Emma scowling after hearing that. “O-okay….” Scarlet muttered, “Well….how about we start with names? My name is Scarlet Vatra”. She motioned to Sadie on her left, going clockwise. “Mine’s Sadie Kakutasu” “Violet Lutka. Great to meet you!” “....Emma Marée” “Riley Escova! Happy to be here. Very happy!” Our smeargle was looking around her teammates….well...her teammates’ noticeable features. She grinned more, tail wagging behind her. “...ooookay...I think for starters, we should first know how we battle. That way I can put together some training regimen that best works for you” Emma rolled her eyes as Sadie spoke first. “Well, I don’t have a certain way besides countering anyone using items” she said, “What I do is use my Fling move to do do some damage with my Lava Cookies. It’s always silly to see their reaction. I then use Switcheroo, taking any items that have on them. Sometimes, they just give up, afraid I would use Fling on what I just took”. Sadie smiled happily as she thinks back to those who gave up when she held their Dragon Fangs or Hard Stone. “Mine isn’t really anything special” Violet said, “My species aren’t known for their speed. So, I always start with Trick Room so I can get the upper hand”. “I don’t really have a strategy” Riley said, “I just tend to kick butt with the moves I learn through Sketch. I DO use combo moves so there’s that” “Alright” Scarlet said, “What about you umm...Emma”. The empoleon scoffed as she looked to her. “If you must know, I fight while making sure I have Aqua Ring on me. I fight longer if I do so, thus I outlast my opponents” she lifted her head high, flicking her hair back, “Besides that, I fight with elegant grace. I have yet to be beaten in the tournaments I attend”. “Okay then….well. I think that the way we can train is-” “Just forget about it. We’re not gonna beat this Team Indigo with you in charge”. “And what’s that suppose to mean?” Scarlet and Emma glared at each other, the others worried that they are about to throw down. “Have you ever entered in a battle tournament? Have you ever trained to be a battler?” Emma asked her. “Well no…” “Have you ever thought about being a team leader?” “No. I…” “Do you think you can get this random team ready to face one who’s probably worked together for years?” “I don’t know okay?!” Scarlet shouted as she stood up, “But I was assign to be team leader so you...you better listen to what I say?!” “You shouldn’t even be the damn leader!” Emma shouted back, standing up as well. This time, Sadie and Violet quickly got up. Violet went behind Scarlet and held her shoulders as Sadie tried to keep Emma back. “Well maybe I didn’t plan it, but…” “But what!? You don’t know what the hell you are doing?!” “Girls please calm down!” Sadie said. Behind the darmanitan, Violet’s lips seemed to quiver, her gaze going to one certain spot of Scarlet. Sadie noticed this and a look of worry plastered on her face. “Violet, focus!” “I….am...trying” Violet muttered as she shut her eyes. She opened them abruptly and then….groped Scarlet’s huge breasts from behind. Scarlet squealed out, a heavy blush on her face. Sadie facepalmed as Emma looked in confusion. Riley, well she was doodling quickly inside her sketchbook as Violet rubbed those orbs. “THAT’S IT!” Scarlet shouted, breaking away from the Banette. “I’m going! I don’t give a damn anymore! You girls are on your own!” She stomped her way out, slamming the door behind her. Violet’s head hung low, her shoulders slumped. “Oooh...can’t believe I did that...again” she muttered. ***** “Who does that no good, thick headed, pompous, egotistical jerk think she is?!” Scarlet grumbled, practically stomping her way through the halls to get away. She huffed and growled, trying to stay calm. But just...why did it have to be her to be picked as the team leader? If that Empoleon thinks she can do better, why didn’t Mrs. Acquas pick her than? “Maybe...I’m just not fit to be leader”. Scarlet stomped around a corner before she suddenly stopped cold, having bumped into something there. A wall? No it can’t be. Whatever her face landed on was soft, REAL soft. She reached up, feeling up the very soft surface which she ran into. It was even more soft around her head. “....Are you going to pull out at any time?” the wall spoke, making Scarlet gasp out and stepped back. She took a good look of said wall before her. It was a large Scolipede woman, very large. Standing almost 8 feet tall, she easily towered over Scarlet, who had to crane her head back in order to even see her face pass those bosoms. “I’m so sorry!” “It wasn’t ill intent” the scolipede said, “No need to apologize. But you seem to be having some trouble”. Scarlet let out a loud irritating sigh and rubbed her head. “Gyah! I am having a difficult time with my damn team, if we can even call ourselves that!” she ranted, “...I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be talking about this to a stranger. My name’s Scarlet. Scarlet Vatra” She extended her hand out, which the amazonian student shook. “I am Ainia Harmonia” she greeted, “I am guessing you are the team leader?” “Not by choice” she sighed, taking a seat on the hallway bench, placing her hands under her head. “I got stuck with these girls, one who has absolutely no respect for me whatsoever! And there’s another one who is...grabby. Another who always give her excuses! And another….well I don’t know what but I do know she keeps getting distracted by something!” “...I see…” Ainia said, taking a seat next her, which made the bench creak from her mass. Way she sat was on her side, half her centaur body on the bench while the other supported her on the floor. “...Sorry…” Scarlet said, “I...I don’t think you want to hear a problem from someone you just met”. “There’s no problem” she said, “Sounds very troubling” Scarlet sighed once again, rubbing her head in frustration. “I don’t know what to do! I don’t know how to get this team going?!” she said, “Maybe...maybe I just can’t be a team leader”. “Well...have you been a leader long?” Ainia asked. “...No. I never been team leader of anything really. Not even at school projects” Scarlet got up to her feet, head hanging low. “Maybe...no...I am definitely not fit to be a team leader”. Ainia stood up, the bench creeking once again as she pats the Darmanitan’s back. “Are you really quitting so soon?” Ainia spoke, “Are you going to give it up so easily?” Scarlet looked to her, seeing the Scolipede give a comforting look. “Things like this are never easy. You have to work hard and keep at it, even if things don't go right for you the first time... or the second or third time”. Words were soaked into Scarlet’s psyche, words of wisdom from some random mon. “See this through to the end. Do not focus what you can do now, but what can do in the long run”. Oh Darmanitan crossed her arms, taking a deep breath as the words inked into her. “....You’re right” she said, “It’s only the first day and here I am, thinking I don’t fit into the leader role”. “Quiting after the first step is a pretty unwise”. Scarlet stood tall, smiling after taking a deep breath. “I can't just give up! I got to see this through!” She turned to Ainia and gave her a quick hug before pulling away. “Thank you for the advice. Where did you learn those kinds of lessons?” "Trying to find bras that fit after I evolved last year." Ainia said. ***** Scarlet once again stood in front of the arena door. She craned her neck twice before she opened the door. Inside, Sadie was talking to Emma, who had her arms crossed and averted her gaze to the Cacturne. “You need to behave yourself for at least until the first match!” she said to her, “Or am I going to have to talk to Mrs. Acquas about this?” Emma gulped loudly as her body shivered. “Okay okay no need to be so rash” Emma said, “I’ll go along with this damn training method”. The empoleon took a seat, her fins crossed. Scarlet let out a smile seeing that as she walked to them. “Welcome back” Violet said, “I’m...sorry about earlier. It’s a habit I’m trying to kick...and failing it seems”. “No no it’s fine” Scarlet said, though a blush did appear through her already red face, “I’m sorry for walking out on you girls. It wasn’t very….leader like” “Hey, it’s alright!” Riley spoke up, “We all have those days. I mean, you got put into a spot with a lot of responsibility. Can be overwhelming”. “And the match in two weeks don’t help” Sadie said. Scarlet looked to them all and smiled at each and everyone of them. “It’s overwhelming for all of us. Heck, we don’t even know much about each other”. A thought began to race through her head. Training won’t go as well as it should if the teams are complete strangers. Maybe….it’s time these strangers start talking. “Okay, how about for today we skip the physical training and...get to know each other? Tell each other a bit about ourselves”. Riley, Sadie, and Violet nodded in unison. Emma simply rolled her eyes, sitting up straight from her seat. Scarlet was the first one to speak. She told them about her interests in cooking and how she got it from her dad. She also told them that her family had just moved here to Kanto after her dad was given a new job at a fancy resturaunt. Her little brother, Sorell, was brought up as well. Scarlet mentioned different stories with her and Sorrell, such as them baking muffins together. Emma told the team about her family, how they run one of the leading trading corporations. She was homeschooled for most of her life, which she had bragged about being top in her studies and physical training. She used to attend a school over at Sinnoh, when someone tried to take over her family’s company. After it was all settled though did her family brought her to Kanto to join KBA, as it was tradition for her family to do so, even if it was late. Violet spoke about her interests in singing. How she wants to be a singer and do tours around the world. She always liked seeing people smile with her voice and how she was put into school so she can work on something to fall back on. Her parents believe she can achieve her dream, but they want her to be sure she’ll have something if something goes wrong. She apologized to Scarlet again about the incident from earlier. She explained how since she evolved, she can’t help but feel things that are warm and soft. “I-it’s okay” Scarlet told her, “Just...give me a warning next time”. Sadie’s family runs a spa resort over at Viridian Forest. It officially opened a few months ago and since then business was good. She’s been in the academy for about a year, same as Violet. They were lab partners and Violet was stressing over it, saying she needed to pass so she could bump up her bad grade. She helped her relax and ever since they passed the project, they became friends. She also told them about her….situation involving her Water Absorb ability. “....hot…” Riley muttered with a goofy smile on her face. “What was that?” Sadie asked. “No nothing! My turn!” The smeargle went on about her family. Her father worked at a cracker factory, which helped their family financially, and how her mother was actually a wrestler before she decided to settle down with her dad. She also explained about her love of art, drawing things like fantasy. Riley didn’t told them about her habit of drawing females in sexy outfits and lewd situations or how she genderbends males into sexy outfits and lewd situations. “Well, this is going well” Scarlet said, “Now, I think while knowing each other is good, we also need to do things together” “Oh? Like what?” Sadie asked. “Simple. We all go and get pizza. Don’t worry, it’ll be my treat” They all smiled as they got up to their feet. “I hope you girls like sausage on your pizza. I know a great place who has great sausage toppings”. “Sausage?” Emma spoke up, “Please. Why on earth would you want something to barbaric as clumps of meat just dropped on top of the cheese? I say we get pepperoni. Gently sliced into thin pieces and set in a way that covers every spot”. “Pepperoni? But that’s so plain! And you got to try this pizzerias sausage!” “I will not! We’re getting pepperoni!” “Sausage!” “PEPPERONI!” SAUSAGE!” “Uuuuggghh!!!” Sadie growled out, “Is there anything you two can agree one?!” Just then, the door to the arena slide open. Out came a small figure, a bit pudgy, as it waddled over to the girls. It was a little teddiursa, looking up to the ladies. “Um, excuse me” he spoke out, “M-me and my sister has this arena for the hour. A-are you finished?” The room fell silent as they all just looked to the bear. ***** “Sorry about the wait Petie” a kangaskahn said as she went through the arena door, “But I got the umm….” The newcomer stopped in her tracks as she sees Scarlet and Emma, who are currently sandwiching the teddy pokemon between them as they cooed and snuggled him. “Awww!! Look at his adorable cheeks!” “I just want to eat him up!” “AWWWWWW!!” they both said in unison. The teddiursa was letting out a whimper as Emma and Scarlet rubbed his cheeks. “Help meeee” he called to the kangaskahn.
