Beyond Pokemon

Part 2, Chapter 12. A Loyal Enemy, A Jealous Friend.

As David helps Kyla up, Kyla grabs hold of David's shoulder. "Go slow, okay?"

David looks at her in concern. "Still having trouble walking?"

Kyla nods, sadly. "My eyesight is fine. It is just my legs that have not caught up yet."

As they continue out of the back room of the Clinic, Blare meets them in the main lobby. "I.. uh.."

Kyla looks sharply at her. "Blare! Darling, spit it out, please!"

Blare looks at the floor. "I just got a call from Kate, she is due to arrive tomorrow on official business."

Kyla rolls her eyes. "What does that maniac breeder want now?!"

David chuckles, as he helps Kyla to a chair, behind the main desk. "Might be them wanting me to return to work!"

Kyla looks surprised. "But, the school! Me!"

David rubs the back of his head. "Yeah, I might not have been checking in with them like I was supposed to!" David ducks as a stapler flies past his head.

Kyla stands propped up on the desk angerly. "You did WHAT?!"

David waves his hand widely. "Now now, Kyla, don't do anything too harsh, after all, I was doing it for good reason!"

Kyla slams her fist on the desk, as she clenches her teeth, head down. "David..." She continues in a calmer voice. "You have been a great help to the students and me, and for that we thank you..." She looks back up with anger. "But! You better go call her back and report in! I do not want that woman ANYWHERE near our students. She will fill their heads with all sorts of perverse ideas!"

David rushes out of the room to the back room's phone without another word.

Blare looks at Kyla with a smirk. "Got a short leach there, don't we?"

Kyla sits back down with a thud. "I just have to put my foot down sometimes."

Blare chuckles. "I was more worried about you bringing the roof down!"

Kyla winks. "Not yet. He hasn't done anything that bad!"

David walks back to the main lobby, and peeks around the corner. "Um..."

Kyla sharply glares at him, making him jump back.

"So.. Kate is not coming here for me." David stammers. 

Kyla crosses her arms with a sigh. "Couldn't you call her off? You are her boss after all!"

David waves his hands again. "White flag, okay?"

Kyla raises an eyebrow. "Okay..."

"Because I have been here, taking care of business, Jordan was acting President. By all technicality, HE is her boss, and they heard about the incident with Hermit."

Kyla leans back in the chair with a groan. "They are coming here for me!"

"YEP!" David says. "In fact, he has filed an official challenge against you!"

Kyla continues to look at the ceiling. "I thought the SPTU investigation was the peak of this!"

David shakes his head. "That was on their part, to determine whether they should take disciplinary action on Hermit... which they have. BUT, he is still a member of the Pokemon League, which entitles him to challenge any member at any time."

Kyla looks up at David disappointed. "I knew that joining the Pokemon League would come back to bite me in the butt."

Blare looks at David. "So.. what did the SPTU do as far as disciplining Hermit?"
