Flaws [BNHA x Pokemon!Reader]

Chapter Thirteen

The rest of lunch continued on with the topic of the final exams, but there was still something weighing on your mind. It was the thing that All Might had told you: that people thought the horrible Nomu creatures that attacked everyone in Hosu were Pokemon. It made you sick to your stomach to think that one, people thought that in the first place, and two, that it meant the creatures were getting their reputation worsened just when you had been improving it. Sure, the idea hadn't really hit the media yet, but if All Might had told you about it, it couldn't be far off. All you could do was try to put it out of your mind until finals were over.

Back in class, at the end of the day, you couldn't help but chuckle at the reactions of Mina and Kaminari to Midoriya's words. He had told them of what Kendou had said during lunch, and they both seemed incredibly relieved to hear the news.

"Man, it's just robots?" Kaminari grinned, leaning back in his chair and putting his head in his hands. "And here I was, all worried for nothing."

Mina pumped her hand in the air in excitement. "Yeah! Robots are easy, I'll take 'em down any day!"

You couldn't help but grin as Shouji chimed in, saying they were only happy because they wouldn't have to adjust their quirks, to which they shuffled away awkwardly. It was moments like this that you lived for: happy ones. And to think, if you hadn't been chasing that Arbok that night and met Aizawa, you wouldn't even be here.

To your surprise, Bakugou joined in on the conversation. "I don't care what or who we're fighting," he sneered. "I'll blow them away, no matter what." Still looking as pissed off as usual, he stood up and crossed over to where Midoriya was standing.

The poor green haired boy looked incredibly frightened, but before he could say anything, the blond walked up to him, mere inches from his face. "Listen here, Deku," he growled. "You're really starting to get on my nerves."

From behind you, a small voice spoke up that only you and a few others could hear. "I think he's talking about Deku-kun's moves in the Hero Studies earlier today," Ochako muttered, putting her finger to her chin. "It's true they were really similar." That made sense, the two had grown up together, after all. It was entirely possible that Midoriya had been observing Bakugou the whole time; he tended to do that.

"I don't want the same hollow result from the Sports Festival," he said, his eyes flickering to Todoroki and then you, but only for a moment. "We'll determine who the better man is through our grades, which means I'll finally be able to show you the power gap and prove that I'm stronger than all of you!" His voice rose up to an increasingly loud level at the end of his sentence.

Positively seething, he turned to Todoroki. "I'll defeat you too, you half and half bastard." Then, his demeanor seemed to calm down, and he kept his eye contact with the poor dual haired boy. "Poke-bitch, Shitty Hair, we're meeting at the Sunset Cafe tomorrow. Don't be late or I'll beat both of your asses."

It took you a moment to register that he said the "Sunset Cafe," and another moment to remember where you knew that name from, but then you froze. You were hoping Kosho either wouldn't be working that day or would be calmer, since you didn't need another Hitoshi incident, especially with Bakugou. But instead of saying anything like that, you mumbled out a "yeah sure," and the blond turned and stormed angrily out of the room.

Kirishima rubbed the back of his neck. "Man, I haven't seen Bakugou-kun this angry for a while."

"Yes," Tokoyami nodded, his arms crossed over his chest. "His animosity is getting the better of him."

"It's gotten worse," Shouto deadpanned, putting his stack of papers into his backpack. You couldn't help but kind of agree with them, though. Bakugou had seemed calmer recently, but most likely due to Midoriya and his new moves, he was back to the regular old hot headed boy you knew.
