Pokemon x COTE: Advanced Nurturing Trainer School

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

This is happening again. A part of me was growing restless but I did my best to repress it. With how things happen lately, this is pretty normal. I've got a bit too comfortable to my actual life that I started to forget about it. Well, I'll have to do it ever since that happened three years ago.

Anyway, let's forget about it for now since there's other things that needs attention. Firstly, there's Karuizawa. I need to talk to her about what happened yesterday.

Having read the original work, I have an idea about her problem and I'd like to resolve it quickly to prevent that incident to happen, and also to help her.

There's also Yotsuba's case. She became more restless after knowing that Itsuki also joined my harem yesterday. Even though I have no idea how to resolve her problem, I have to do it.

Lastly, Shizuku, Airi and Minori, the girls from the class B, asked my help to help their friend, Kiritani Haruka. My knowledge about their original work, the game "Project Sekai COLORFUL STAGE ft. Hatsune Miku", also known as Proseka, is only about their songs and a few things I saw in the wikis so I absolutely have no idea about what's happening but I'll try my best. If it doesn't work then we'll just need to find other solutions.

I already told them to come with her to the clubroom this Wednesday since I already planned to talk to Karuizawa today. As for Yotsuba, I'll have to find the right time to talk with her, the sooner, the better.

The bells rang signaling the end of the classes for the day. My wives from my class were going to take Itsuki to buy some furniture for her room and some sexy outfits for it night plays, with Shiho leading them.

Shiho apparently learned about those things from a girl in her previous band. After her relationship with her childhood friends deteriorated, she joined temporarily a band after another and didn't last more than a month with each of them other than the last one she joined before coming to this school.

It was a band of high school gyarus. Shiho, being a serious middle school girl, didn't think she would get along with them and would quit that band after a while but unexpectedly, she got along with them very well and she would have joined them officially joined them if not for joining this school.

Their drummer was the one who taught her about lingeries, guys' taste and some insight about sex. The girl was apparently a slut that loves sex very much.

Shiho didn't want to learn about those at first but the girl said: "I'm not expecting you to become like me but whatever it's for your future boyfriend, husband or just to satisfy yourself, those knowledge would be useful for you, no matter what." Shiho reluctantly accepted at first but the more she learned, the more she got interested.

She was also thinking of becoming a gyaru in high school but delayed it a bit when she was accepted in this school, the best trainer school in the country, since she didn't want to destroy her future just because of her whims and didn't get her chance due to things that happened since the start of the school.

Anyway, with them away and the others having something to do, I'm on my own for now so I'll just take a walk before going back to the mansion to have a talk with Karuizawa.

…

A few hundreds of meters from the school building, as I was taking a walk, I saw Yotsuba approaching a guy from my class, Uesugi Fuutaro, a guy with bowl cut black hair.

"Uesugi-sa~n! Hello!" She greeted him in her usually cheerful voice but I can feel she's pretty nervous.

"Ah, Nakano Yotsuba, is there something I can do for you?"

"Well, I just wanted to ask you if you still remember our promise from before."

"Huh? Promise? Us? There's nothing like that."

"Eh, really? Are you sure?" She was shocked that he immediately dismissed it without any second thought.

"Yeah, I'm sure. This is the first time we talk with each other and there's no way I would've made a promise with someone like you."

"Someone like... Ahahaha, anyway, I have something to do for now so, bye Uesugi-san!" She bolted away cheerfully like usual but I know she was really downhearted from what she heard right now.

"What was that?" Muttered Uesugi in confusion.

Seeing the event unfold, I decided to approach him and ask.

"Hey, Uesugi, what do you mean there's no way you would've made a promise with "someone like her"?"

"Ah, Himekawa-kun. You heard us? Well, from what I know, she's from a rich family and interacting with someone from a poor family like me is very unlikely, let alone making a promise. Also, there's only one girl with whom I made a promise and it wasn't her."

"How can you be sure it wasn't her?"

"They don't have the same hair color nor the same name."

"I see. Anyway, I have something to do so, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you."

With that, I went away and used my aura sense to find Yotsuba. I could feel she wasn't that far so I went to her location.

After walking a bit, I found her in secluded place in a nearby park. Sitting on a bench, she was actually crying.

"Yotsuba!" I called.

"A-ah, Y-Yuu-kun! What are you doing here?" She panicked seeing me and tried to wipe her tears quickly but it made her awkward with her tears continuing to spill.

I didn't say anything and just hugged her. At first, she was surprised but as her as her emotions were overflowing, she cried all her emotions out like a little child.

After a while, she calmed down and freed herself from my hug.

"Sorry, Yuu-kun. It isn't like me to react like that. So, sorry for bothering you. Ehehe." She tried to sound cheerful as usual but she was doing bad at it.

"No, you're not bothering me at all. This is what friends are for. Also, was that promise really that important for you to react like that?"

"Eh? You heard us?" She jolted.

"Well yeah, I wasn't that far so I heard everything."

"Ah! Well... Ehehe..." She looked away trying to evade the subject before she suddenly exclaimed. "Ah, didn't you have something to talk with Karuizawa? We can talk later."

"Nah, she can wait."

"That's bad, Yuu-kun. You can't make a girl wait."

"The same applies to you, you know?"

"Ahaha, well, can you let me be alone for the moment to process everything, please?"

"*Sigh* Okay. BUT, we need to talk tomorrow, no matter what, okay?"

"O-okay! Well then, I need to help some friends so, bye Yuu-kun!" With that, she bolted away.

Seriously, that girl... Anyway I'll go back to the mansion and have a talk with Karuizawa.

How comes a lot of people around me have some problems that I need to resolve? Anyway, I've already made up my mind so I just have to do it.

…

Sitting on a cushion on the floor, with a tea on the coffe table, Karuizawa and me faced each other. We were in her room to discuss about her problem.

She just sat there without saying anything, seemingly hesitant.

"So, can you tell me why did you react like that? What happened to you?" Having read the original work, I already have an idea but still asked her.

"Um... Well... Before that, can you promise me to not tell anyone what I'm going to say" she asked.

"I can't promise that."

"What? Why?"

"Because depending on the content, we may need the help of other people. From what I can see, you have a trauma related to that wound and me alone may not be enough to help you so I may have to ask my wives to help. But at least, I can promise you to not tell anyone else."

"…I see. Well, if it's just your wives then it shouldn't be a problem, maybe?"

She was still hesitant but she was a bit too desperate to get a help. Unlike in the original work, she wasn't the girls' leader and in the class, that position went to Nino. Being my main wife, she was easily considered as such, even more since most of girls in our class hangs out with us, being our friends and our maids.

She sighed before starting to talk.

"Ever since elementary school, I've been subjected to bullying. At first, it was relatively tame, isolating me, talking behind my back, making fun of me and such.

"But in middle school, things started to escalate. Putting trash in my shoes locker, hiding away my belongings, putting dead animals' carcasses on my desk, writing prostitute on my uniform, splashing dirty water on me when I go to the toilet. Those are nothing compared to other things they did to me. Additionally, they didn't just stop at me but also bullied my Magicarp." She said bitterly recalling everything that happened to her.

"It continued until last year, when they were bullying my Magicarp, it suddenly evolved in rage and they ran away. I thought they would stop from then on but the next day, they came with some electric type Pokemon. They ganged on my Gyarados and didn't stop even after its HP got dispelled planning to kill it.

"I pleaded them to stop and they did when it was on the verge of death but one of the girls came to me and..."

She removed her maid uniform to show her scar without caring about her underwears being exposed.

"She stabbed me with a knife causing me to almost die in that incident. Thankfully, someone saw it and called for help and Gyarados and me managed to survive. Afterwards I completely stopped going to school and was home schooled.

"When I got accepted into this school, I hope for a new start so I decided to change myself and become what I hated the most. Fancy make-up, fashionable, dressing as pleased, no regards to the rules, pushy, I just tried to copy what those bullies did so I wouldn't be bullied anymore."

She raised her head and looked at me expectantly.

"Himekawa-kun, can you be my fake boyfriend? Being the girlfriend of someone from the Himekawa clan, no one would dare to bully me anymore."

"Fake? Did you forget that I can't lie? Anyone would know about it fake relationship as long as they ask me. And more importantly, are you going to keep living in your lies."

"Do you think I have a choice? Do you really think I like living like that? But if I don't, my life would be nothing but suffering, just like before!"

"*Sigh* Karuizawa, do you really think everyone are like them, like those who bullied you? It's understandable you think like that but I think you need to learn more about the world. Also, there are better way to prevent bullying"

"Really? How? Can you tell me?" She asked hopefully.

"The best solution would be power. If power don't solve your problem, then it means you aren't using enough. Power have multiple forms. Strength, money, influence, public opinion, authority, and many more.

"Bully mostly occurs because some people wants to feel superior by bullying those they think as inferior.

"You don't need to a fake self, you just need to get the best kind of power for yourself."

"You say that but can someone like me do something like that?"

"Don't belittle yourself. I think you're a strong girl so it shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Himekawa-kun, are you making fun of me? How can I be a strong girl?"

"You have endured a hellish bullying for so long and you're still trying to make your life better. There are actually a lot of people who would've taken their lives if they were at your place but here you are, trying to do better without giving up. You're a strong girl who just happened to have an unlucky life till now."

As she listened, she seemed to be moved by mymy speech andand tears appeared in the corner of her eyes.

"Himekawa-kun, can I really do it?"

"Of course you can. Don't worry about it, I'll be there to help you."

"Thank you very much, Himekawa-kun!"

She was beaming with a radiant smile as she thanked me.

"So, what should I do?"

"Just be genuine. You're actually doing a good job, but you shouldn't do something you don't like, like how you're being pushy or trying to be like your bullies.

"I've noticed how you were genuinely helping some girls when they started to work as maids. I know you're a nice girl so you shouldn't do things just for your image even if you don't like it. Do something because you want to."

"But Himekawa-kun, sometimes, I can't help it. Sometimes, I felt like I could get bullied by not doing something and can't help but cower down. I even feels sick everytime I see my scar, which was why I never revealed my body to anyone else. I take baths when there's no one and always did my best to hide it in the changing room for fear I would get bullied when others see it."

"It seems you have developed a trauma sure to those bullying. I can help you to overcome your trauma of you want."

"Eh, really? Himekawa-kun, please help me."

"Okay then, let's do it right now."

"Eh? Right now?"

Don't forget the power stones.
