Chapter 35: Club (3)

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"Now then, let's talk about the club activities." I said after we finished the self-presentations.

"Wait a moment, I'd like to talk about something first."

"Yes, Tenma."

"It's about our unit's name. I think we should choose one!"

"Seriously? You want to do it now?"

"Of course! It's important."

"*Sigh* okay, go ahead, Tenma."

"Wait, before that, I'd like to say something. Why don't we refer to each other using our first name? I want to be friend with everyone here. Also, since there are two Tenma and Hinomori in this club, this way would be easier." Said Emu.

"Well, that sound good for me. What about the others?" I said. Everyone had nothing against it so it was decided that we would refer to each other like that.

"Now then, Tsukasa, you can go ahead and discuss any talk about it."

"Thank you, Yuu-kun. Well then, let's call our unit TEAM PEGASUS IN THE SKY!"

"Could you stop with that lame name?" Said Nene. This girl surprisingly have a sharp tongue even though she's really shy.

"L-lame!? What is lame about it!? What other name has a marvelous taste like this!?"

"Why is it lame… That's difficult to analyze… but if I were to put it simply…" Said Rui, the people haired guy.

"It's purely lame." Said Nene.

"Precisely."

"You guys… I've put a lot of thoughts about this, you know!? Then, do you have other ideas?"

"Let's see, what name would be nice, Emu-kun?" Asked Rui.

"Hmm… What about [Sunshine World's Sunny-Sunny Power] or [Flower Garden World's Bloom-Bloom]? Ah, I think [Happy World's Smiley-Smiley Face] is good!" Said Emu.

"It's that a TV show for children?" Retorted Nene.

"Also, why is there a "world" in every name?" Asked Tsukasa.

"Pfff hahahaha. What the hell is that? Are you guys doing a comedy show?" I said to them while laughing. The others were also laughing. Even the stern faced Kirisu-sensei was struggling to not laugh. Nene blushed while hiding behind Rui but the other three didn't really mind about it.

"Anyway, I used "World" because during shows, the stage would become all kinds of different worlds. A fantasy world full of wonders and magic, a world of jungle full of adventure and wildlife, a world of aliens full of things that we can't think of… Our stage would be a wonderland that can become any world. That's why when a show begin, everyone would smile."

"In that case, let's use that, wonderlands. You want people to have a fabulous time in the wonderlands that the stages create. Would you like to think of a name that would reflect that feeling?" Said Rui.

"Hmm… a fabulous time… in the wonderlands…"

"Time… then, why not using Showtime, since we're making shows? Put together, that would make Wonderlands Showtime." Said Nene.

"Wow! That sounds really cool! Let we write it!" Exclaimed Emu before taking a paper and a pen.

"No wait, TEAM PEGASUS IN THE SKY is certainly better!" Said Tsukasa but the other ignored him.

"Done! Wonderlands x Showtime! (ワンダーランズｘショウタイム)!"

"Huh? What's this "x" in the middle? And why are you spelling show as "shou" (ショウ) instead of "shoo" (ショー)?" Asked Tsukasa.

"The "x" is a multiplication sign. Because, the more show we do, the more wonderlands would be born. And my spelling of show is because… thisthis sounds cool!"

"Come on…"

"Hmm, well, it doesn't sound quit bad." Said Nene.

"Yes, I like it as well. Intuition is important." Followed Rui

"Argh. As I though, the shows' contents are more important."

"Heh, Onii-chan's petty because the name he proposed didn't get chosen!"

"Hey, Saki, I'm not petty at all!"

We just laughed at that.

"Okay then, now that your unit's name is decided, let's talk about the club's activities. Firstly, there are club activities each Monday, Wednesday and Friday after school and Saturday all day as long as there's no exam or event. You're free to attend if you want.

"Other than this room, we can access three other rooms. One of them is the music practice room where the instruments used by the previous members of the club are and if you want to buy some, you can talk to me and we'll buy them as long as it's within the budget. The other one is the dance practice room and finally, there's a recording room that we can use to record our songs.

"According to the school's rules, the members of our club are allowed to use Pidger, Nightcord, Poketube and other platforms as long as you don't use it for communication. You can post videos and can comment on your own post but can't respond people's comments and the messaging functions would be disabled. You can give your terminals to Kirisu-sensei later so she can enable these functions and you can also use the club's computers for that.

"Also, in normal case, we would have to share a stadium or gymnasium with other clubs to train for performances but I have a personal stadium I paid the school to make so we would use that instead and won't need to share it.

"Any question?"

"I have a question. How would the school know if we doing follow the rules about the online posts? I mean, even though they can disable some functions, we can just use the posts and comments to communicate. Would the school assign people for that or do they have some advanced AI for that?"

"Good question, Rui. The school actually use some Porygon they got from the team Hakuryuu to secure the school's system and monitor students' online activities. Also, you can pay some private points to the school to be allowed to communicate to the outside as long as you don't reveal informations about the school's system and secrets. In fact, I did that for me and my wives."

"Huh? Shi-chan? Does that mean you can contact the parents?" Asked Shizuku surprised. She wasn't the only one, it we also the case for everyone other than my band members.

"Well yes. I call them from time to time."

"Hey, Yuu, how much do we have to pay for that?" Asked Airi.

"It's pretty cheap, only five millions PP."

"Wha?"

"Five millions? Yeah, that's cheap. I think I'll also do it." Said Mizuki.

"Me too!!" Said Emu.

"Wait, are you serious? How can five millions be considered 'pretty cheap'? Is it even possible for someone to get that much?" Said Airi surprised hearing our talk. It was also the same for most of the other club members.

"Eh? Isn't that pretty easy?" Responded Emu tilting her head to the side.

"Wha? …How the hell?"

"*Sigh* Forget about it, Airi. Those three have a different common sense when it comes to money. They got a lot of resources from their clan and would only need to sell some of those to get it." Said Shiho.

"I see…"

"Another question?" I asked.

"None? Then let me continue. You should've heard that some clubs would sometime participate in competitions outside the school. It's also the case for us. As long as there's no exam or event, we're free to participant in any Pokemusical competition.

"Also, we would get private points and even class points depending on our Pokemusical ranks and the results from the competitions. For now, we would get 5,000 PP monthly as novices.

"I was thinking that for now, we would focus on practicing our performances and only start participating in competitions during the summer holiday. What do you think about that?"

"I think that's reasonable. But what would we do about the performances? We haven't learned about them yet in class so I'm not yet sure that we would have the necessary level if we just use our actual knowledges." Asked Kanade.

"Don't worry about that. Mizuki and me can teach you. We already have some knowledge about it. Also, you can ask Kirisu sensei to help you. She have participated in Pokemusicals in the past."

"Eh, really?" Everyone were surprised hearing that. Even Kirisu-sensei herself seemed surprised that I knew that.

"Yeah. She was the center of the snow maidens, a famous ice type specialist unit that mainly focus on figure skating. But one day, she disappeared and their unit didn't last long without her."

"*Sigh* what Himekawa-kun said is true. I was from that unit. It was a unit I made with my friends when we were in this school. We were also members of this club. But my dream was to be an ice type elite 4 so I stopped participating in Pokemusicals and started participating in Pokemon battles but I could hardly win in the low rank competitions and only got two bronze badges.

"I apparently had no talent in battling and wasted my talents for Pokemusicals in which my unit could've reach the star rank. That's my biggest regret in my life, having wasted my future for a dream in which I had no talent. That's why I became a teacher in this school to be able to guide the students so that they wouldn't regret for wasting their future like me."

Everyone had a somber expression hearing that.

"Anyway, why don't we go to the other rooms? I'm curious about them." Said Saki trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"Okay, let's go to see them."

We first went to the dance practice room. There were mirrors all over the walls other than the left ones from the doors where the windows are. With the wooden floor and white ceiling, it looked like a typical dance practice room.

"Whoa!!! Incredible! This look like the ones in the movies!" Exclaimed Minori.

"Haha, Minori, the ones in the movies are actually based on the real things." I said to her.

"This feels nostalgic. It reminds me of our idol practices." Said Shizuku.

After they tried it for a while, we went to the music practice room. It was a large room in which multiple instruments were arranged.

"Wow, there are a lot of instruments here!" Exclaimed Minori. The others were also surprised by the amount but my band members weren't that impressed.

"Hmmm, I think there aren't as many as in Yuu-chan's music room."

"Saki, you can't compare them. Yuu just can't control himself when it comes to instruments. *Sigh* I though he already bought a lot when we went shopping the first time but this guy still continued buying everything that catch his interest."

"But, Shiho, there are just so much good instruments. Of course I have to try them!"

"But that doesn't mean you have to buy 30 guitars. Why the hell do you have to buy that much?"

"Of course! Each of them have a different pre-amped sound that would make a minor it major difference when coupled with the amps. And you say it as if you don't enjoy playing every basses I bought."

"S-shut-up!" Shiho turned her head away trying to hide the blush on her face.

"Hehe, look at this. You're really cute when you're blushing." I teased her while patting her head before giving her a kiss on her cheek. She glared at me for a moment then she gave me a peck on the lips before going to where the basses are with a red face.

'Seriously, she's really cute.' I though.

"Ara ara~" Said said Shizuku whole putting one hand on her cheek seeing our interaction. Minori, Airi, Nene and Ena were blushing, Mizuki, Emu, Mafuyu and Kanade didn't really mind and the rest had an awkward look.

I then went to try the guitars and Hoshi-chan also did the same. Saki went to look at the synths and Honami went to the drums. Mizuki also joined us to try the guitars while Emu went to Shiho to try the basses. The others then tried some random instruments even if most of them don't have any experience with the instruments.

Afterwards, we went to the recording room and finally, I guided them to my private stadium where we would have our trainings.

Before we disbanded, I told them that they should complete their Pokemon team before the summer vacation. That way, they'll have more time to nurture them.

Don't forget the power stones.
