René froze thinking—HOPING—that this was a nightmare and that he’d wake up in his bed any moment now. Like now. Or now. Now would be good too but then again so would now and—
He shook his head, mostly to break the loop his mind had gotten stuck in. “Okay René calm down.” He said to himself. “Take deep breaths, focus, and try not to wet yourself.”
With no little trepidation, but fortunately with still dry—for the moment—pants, René stepped up to his temporary teammates. Quintin the Cyndaquil was the oldest one there, a junior. René new a little about him, mostly that he was great at fighting but almost as inept as René was in social situations, which was saying something. Nevertheless he had somehow managed to get involved with the leader of Team Nocturne, Hokori.
Despite his nerdy glasses, Quintin was definitely someone René wanted watching his back during a match. The other two René wasn’t so sure about.
Lucus Rio was a freshman transfer, the new mon on the block. He came to the PCA with a chip on his shoulder the size of an overfed Snorlax and an attitude almost as nasty—in its own way—as Nicole Blackclaw. Lucus’ default setting was angry. Anyone or anything that got in his way tended to end up having to visit Nurse Rocco.
The last member of their motley crew was the pikachu kid Stunner. René didn’t know him all that well. He knew his older brother Zap of Team Green which definitely counted as a strike against him. Still, René had heard it said that Stunner showed considerable promise, but he would have to lose that youthful naivete that seemed stamped on his head.
Honestly, walking up to a senior like Nicole and casually asking for a chance for their teams to practice, what was the kid thinking? René shook his head. What a mess THAT had caused!
Still the four of them put together against four of the most talented fighters in the school…“What deity did I offend?” René asked as he cast his gaze upwards. His only answer was a drop of water landing in his eye.
As René furiously scrubbed that drop away he felt more falling on him. When he looked around he saw it raining meowths and growlithes…which was weird because they were indoors.
“What the—?”
“The sprinkler system is on the fritz!” Coach Marceau called. “Okay, we’ll have to call it a day!”
“Thank you god!” René cheered silently. “I’m saved!”
“Well continue this on Monday after the gym dries out.” The Coach finished. “Everybody out!”
“You like toying with me don’t you?” René asked as he looked upwards with annoyance. His feet squelching slightly from the soaking he’d gotten, René walked out of the gym.
“Hey, Reynard!” Grimacing slightly, René turned around to see Stunner running up behind him. “Hi, I’m Stunner. Nice to meet you.”
“René.” He said as he shook the pikachu’s hand.
“You’ve got a pretty impressive team.” Stunner continued, “Some time we have to get together and compare notes on team leadership.”
“Yeah…” René said noncommitedly. His ‘leadership’ of Team Turquoise was only due to the fact that his father’s gym financed the team and he wanted René to lead. Probably in the hope that doing so would make a mon out of him…he didn’t figure on René’s team being made up entirely of girls.
Still, René felt really uncomfortable ordering them around. Hell he just wanted to be one of the girls with them than pretend that he knew what he was doing and bark out orders; especially since they were all taller than him and could easily kick his butt.
Stunner, unaware of René’s inner turmoil, continued on. “Well, since we’re going to be on a team together—if only for the exhibition match—I was wondering if you’d like to get together with the others so we could strategize, plan, train, and generally hang out.”
“Did you…um, suggest this to Lucus and Quintin already?” René asked Stunner. Nodding his head Stunner replied that they had. “Um, okay then.” A very confused René agreed, having trouble believing that Lucus would agree to ‘hang out’ with anyone besides, perhaps, his future parole officer.
“Great! I’ll meet you guys at the park gym this Saturday! Bye!” Stunner waved as he ran off to be with his friends. René shook his head.
“At least Sam will have better things to do this weekend.”

Ibtisam blinked “You want us to have a sleepover?” She asked Ishtar incredulously as the other girls stood off to the side. Ishtar nodded.
“I think it’ll be a nice opportunity for the four of you to get together and become friends before the match. Besides there are some…tensions I think this could be good at airing out.” She said kindly. “And I think you could do with a night out, couldn’t you?”
“I guess so.” Sam admitted. “I’ve never been to a sleepover before.”
“Really?”
“Well, sometimes my team and I would have a slumber party of sorts… René has the cutest nightgown.”
“Isn’t René…?” Ishtar asked.
“Yeah.” Sam confirmed.
“But—”
“Don’t ask.” Sam held up a hand. “So a sleepover, huh? Could be…interesting. If they’ll go for it.”
“They will.” Ishtar promised. “I already talked it over with the others. They all seemed willing. Even Tenebra.”
“Really. I wonder why that is.” Sam wondered.

“I assume you have some little scheme beyond petty mischief?” Methelza Muma asked Nicole Blackclaw as they headed away from the sprinkler controls.
“I always do.” Nicole smirked, deliberately keeping Methelza in the dark. Methelza scowled.
“Why did you turn the sprinklers on?” She demanded of Nicole. “And then convince your ‘sister,’” she sneered, “to hang out with that team of lesbos?”
“If I wanted you to know then I would have told you.” Nicole snapped. “The important thing is that the match is delayed until Monday. And that,” she smiled like the proverbial meowth that caught the proverbial rattata, “Gives me the time to make my offer to one very special mon…”

Happy times. I like your stories and now I can't wait for the next chapter!
I think that Quintin might be a sophomore, though. You should double-check that.
Also, is Sam gay? Or is she just easy to categorize as such?
Kae's final thought: These people should not be left alone at night. O.O

I asked about Nubia and Shawntae said she was a junior. Since their both on Team Blue, I assumed their in the same grade.
Sam's not gay, but she's a muscular, athletic gal who is easily seen as being a masculine girl (mostly because she hangs around Rene so much, who is so blatantly un-masculine).
Muma was just being a b**** and lumped Sam with Nubia and Weaver, both of whom are lesbians.
And re your final thought...your totally right. Hence the fun.

The good master villains always have one plot stacked on top of another with more layers to their wicked plans than a super deluxe pizza, nice to see that at work here :)
Somehow I don't see a whole lot of giggling, nail-painting, and chatting about boys going on at this slumber party...

I do confess I had an image of Weaver in a fight with Mitzi which goes badly when Weaver makes the unfortunate mistake of making mental contact with her. One of those two functions much better as a babbling idiot than the other one...
