Alania looked at Mei's Nintendo Switch 2. "Where'd you get that game system? And is that Legends: Z-A?" she asked her Chinese amiga. "And is that a Mega Dragonite?"

"Yeah. I'm making me a 6-woman team for Ranked Battles. My team involves Meowstic-Female, Mega Dragonite, Meganium, Glaceon, Pelipper, and Heracross. They're all female."

"I'm gonna ask my daddy if he could buy me Legends: Z-A and a Switch Lite when Christms comes. But if I had a team, it'd consist of Mega Chandelure, Garchomp, Simipour, Slurpuff, Leafeon, and Vanilluxe, all female." 

A dark-skinned, African girl joined in. "You have Pokémon Legends: Z-A? Wanna battle? My name is Grace Odoka. My parents moved here from South Africa. My team is Mega Clefable, Talonflame, Scolipede, Diggersby, Salamence, and Tyranitar, all female."

They were going to battle each other, but the bell rang. The 3 girls were in class, but the teacher replacing Mr. Bjårnsen is Mr. Ovsberg. "Good morning, class. I'm Mr. Ovsberg, your new teacher, and the copy machine is down, so we're having a chill day.  Just make it look like you're doing something in case the principal walks in." 

Mei and Grace started their battle, with Alania as the spectator. "I betcha Grace will sweep your team up. After all, she has Mega Clefable." 

Toshiku, a Japanese guy, shoulder-checked Grace and smirked. "Oops," he said in a fake tone. He walked to the window, turned around, and he shoulder-checked the black girl again. This time, Alania punched Toshiku in his liver, a fight skill Hiro taught her, causing the coward bully to duck and cover. 

Mr. Ovsberg stood over the blonde female, clearing his throat. She turned around.

.....

Meanwhile, Hiro was at his father's gym, The Purple Dragon's Gym, sparring with Cotton Donaldson, an old friend of his father's. His phone interrupted him. (Ringtone: 'Death Penalty' by Face Lift & Bern-AT  & WARLEX & Milano The Don)

"Hullo?" he answered. "Alania's been suspended for assault?! It's funny you guys are calling me because she defended her friends, but you've had a paedophile lurking around your school for years. I'll pick her up, but I'm not taking any further action on her."

.....

Fifteen minutes later, Hiro was in his purple Lexus, waiting on his daughter; she got in and hugged her Eevee plushie. "I can explain... This Toshiku guy was shoulder-checking my new friend twice."

"The principal told me the whole story. I'm not mad at you though; I'm happy you defended your friends. I had to do the same thing a multitude of times. You ate lunch yet?"

"No, sir. It's 11:00. Lunch doesn't begin till 11:30."

Hiro stopped at a 7-Eleven and got 2 hot dogs, 2 bags of Spicy Lobster Lay's, and 2 bottles of Sakura Pepsi." He paid for it, got in the car, and drove off. "I have a packet of mayo for your hot dog, whereas I'm eating mine plain." 

.....

She was drawing Pokémon in the back room, whereas Hiro resumed sparring with Cotton. "My daughter got supsended for assault; I didn't ground her though. She was defending her friends from a bully during class. Ah, well. I have my next fight to worry about, which is this weekend. It's against that shitbag named Zarid. I need to find somebody to watch her at the stadium. I'd get Ichigo, but he doesn't like being around children."

"I can," Cotton replied. "Besides, my fight isn't till next Saturday--it'll be against Shvan Shchurev, but that's besides the point. I'm good with kids."

Hiro stopped sparring with him and took his bald partner to introduce her to Alania. "Honey, meet your new sitter. He'll be watching you whilst I go to my fight this Saturday. His name is Mr. Donaldson."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Donaldson." They shook hands. "I like this guy already!" she exclaimed with glee. 

Hiro said, "We're gonna go back to sparring.  Call me if you need me." The two adults left to go back to practicing  their fight skills.
