Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 75 Team Star's Conclusion

A few months ago, Operation Star is a success, and all of my members get their revenge against their bullies in the end. But the plan backfired... those bullies decide to drop out of school, with their parents got angry at the staff... and people in the class started to be scared of Team Star, afraid that they were the next victims. Not only that, but all of us also got expulsion warnings.

"Did I really want this? Is this what I want to do to achieve?" I think. The reason I wanted to form Team Star is that I want to help bullied students. When I was still in the Galar Region, I suffered bullying in school and none of the teaching staff cared to help. That's why after I came to Narauva University, I tried to do this to help them out.

"We're done here. I think we should call it quits." It was the night before I head to the director's office, and I decided to talk to all five of the bosses of Team Star.

"Hold up - are you sayin' we should break up the team...?" Giacomo asks with shock. "You gotta be joking!"

"We got carried away with Operation Star... Now everything's gotten out of hand." I say.

"Yeah, well, that's what happens when you round up a buncha bullies in the courtyard and make a show of learning 'em some manners." Mela says.

"But we didn't even fight them in the end. We didn't do anything wrong!" Eri says.

"Indeed. Merely did we declare our intention to battle tooth and nail should the villains persist in their tyrannous oppression. 'Twas a bloodless victory, we assure you!"

"Yeah! They didn't even send out their Pokemon - they just blubbered and apologized a whole lot... Our outfits must've spooked them good!" Ortega says.

"But the bullies made a huge stink about what went down, and then they all ended up leaving the university. Our plan backfired epically. There's no way we're getting off scot-free."

"I guess you're right... This little stunt might've put us up the creek." Giacomo says.

"I'll fix this mess on my end. Just leave it to me." I say.

"What are you saying?" Mela gasps.

"I'm the one who started Team Star. I dragged you all into this." I say. "So I'll take responsibility for everything."

"Oh, noble and kind big boss. You cannot..." Atticus is cut off by me. "Now that the bullies are gone, you guys should start going to school again."

"Oh yeah? And what about you?" Mela asks.

"I can't go back..." I frown.

"Why? There's no reason for you to stay shut in your room anymore, right?" Giacomo asks.

"All I can say to you guys is... thanks." I frown. "Even though we never met in person, you were all so kind to me..."

"Stop right there, B.B.! Why are you talking like we'll never speak again?" Eri asks.

"I need to go take care of some things..." I say.

"Prithee, speak to us! What is thine intent?" Atticus asks.

I decided to stay silent, and Ortega says, "Hey, Big Boss! Answer us!"

The truth is, I was standing outside of the window where the five of them are, and I mutter, "Bye-bye, guys... Thanks for everything."

Then I end the call and leave, knowing that they should be fine if I do this.

I decided to go to the Director's office, telling Mr. Harrington that I was the one who did this, and hoping that the teaching staff would spare the rest of Team Star. He agreed with my request, and in exchange, I was forced to leave the school and back to Galar for 18 months... he would tell my friends that I was heading "overseas study." I accept the request in the end.
