From the darkness (Highschool DxD x Reader x Pokemon)

Chapter 21: Parent's day

 " ": You talking

' ': You thinking

' ': Giratina talking to your mind

Your POV:

"Really ? Already ?"

Sirzechs: Yes, really. Since the school is almost fixed already, the meeting will be held tonight.

"Fine, I'll stay after school ends this evening."

Sirzechs: Thank you. I'll see you there.

After he teleported away, I went to school, but someone was already waiting for me on the way, standing on the sidewalk near the bridge all of this begun.

"Vali... How long have you been waiting here ?"

Vali: ... I'm confused. What should I call you now ? Host of Giratina, or new host of Ddraig ?

"For how long did you know ? Was it Azazel who told you ?"

Vali: Actually, no. I was just following the pervert around, curious about that new toy he got, and I just happened to witness how you saved Ddraig from him. You do realize that by doing it you just designed yourself as my opponent, right ?

"What, are you disappointed or something ? I though that knowing you didn't have to battle Issei anymore would be good news for you."

Vali: And it is, I'm just... Surprised, that all. I never could've imagined you valued the pervert's life that much.

"I don't. I just wanted to give Ddraig a real chance in this. With an user as lame as Issei, it would've been more of a massacre than a duel."

Vali: True, undoubtedly true. And while this is very true, there is another reason why I was waiting here. To test you out and to see if you were really worthy to be called my rival.

In the blink of an eye, his fist stopped inches from my face, leading to a gush of wind passing my face.

Vali: heh, must've surprised you here, right ?

"Not really, 'cause if you have kept moving, you'd be dead now."

He finally noticed, that my palm was already against his guts, the pulse ready to be fired at any moment now.

Vali: Not only did you saw through my attack, but you also found a moment to prepare a direct counterattack. You're truly worthy of being called my rival. I'm looking forward for our battle.

"You know, it's pretty obvious by now, but you don't care about that destiny thing, all you want to do is fight strong opponents. If it wasn't the case, you wouldn't have been disappointed by Issei's power."

He didn't replied this time, and walked away, soon summoning his wings and flew away.

"That was something. It's not like with Riser or anyone else, that guy had years to train with his power. He must as strong, if not even stronger than me... That's going to be some hell of a fight."

To my surprise, the whole gang was waiting in front of the school, including the entirety of my roommates.

"You guys came back, did something happen ?"

Dialga: We heard that the three factions are having a peace meeting, and that you're attending it. So we're going to as well.

"You know I'm only attending as an arbitrator, just to make sure they don't kill each other before signing up the peace treaty. That and I need to give them back the Excalibur."
