Daaku Reji has been working through his personal issues for a while now, and made some good progress thanks to his friends and loved ones. His girlfriend Blueberry has been especially good at keeping him moving forward. But will a bet be his final undoing and cause him to snap? Or cause him to get him to believe in himself even more?

Many of the students who went to the PokeCombat Academy carried themselves with a strong measure of confidence. They were, after all, there to attend one of the most prestigious schools in the world and had to go through a series of rigorous tests to even gain entry. Students were expected to be strong of body, mind and self in order to really flourish at the school; it wasn’t for the faint of heart. Some made it through on the strength of either their mind or body more so than the other. Some students managed to squeak by not on the scores of their physical or mental tests, but because of their strong will that one of the admissions officers saw potential that could be crafted with some hard work. It was the fact that they were so determined and forward that they were allowed to enter in spite of other shortcomings; Daaku Reji was not one of these students.
The Golduck moved through the hallways of the school quickly as he swerved in and out of the throngs of students. Many chattered with one another and barely noticed him; especially since the rather quiet Reji tried not to draw attention to himself. He managed to make his way through the crowd and out into the quad area of the school without so much as a greeting or a second look and was thankful he didn’t run into any of his friends and teammates. He actively seemed to try and avoid anyone and everyone that would speak to him. For quite a while it worked as he peered around a tree to make sure the coast was clear.
“Oi! Reji!” A voice spoke up behind him and caused the Golduck to jump. In his startled state Reji fell over and landed hard on his backside with a grimace. A small giggle came from the same womon who’d caught him off guard as her hands reached down to try and help him up.
“Oh! Oh, h-hi, Freya,” he said to his friend and sometimes lover Freya Glachill. The Froslass steadied him and made sure he was okay before she turned him around.
“Wot’s got you so uptight, Ducky?” She asked as he reached down to pick up the books he’d dropped. She continued to smile at him in amusement as he did so.
“I…I’m just trying t-to, well, you know…” He tried answer as inconspicuously as possible.
“I don’t know,” She said pointedly in response, “And why are ya bein’ so deliberate and slow to jabber?”
“W-well,” He tried to figure out how to say it without giving anything away, but since Freya and his girlfriend Blueberry Swirl roomed together he might as well tell her, “Blue…she m-made a bet with me. Th-that I couldn’t s-say a phrase for…for a full week,” Freya grinned again as she’d heard about the bet from her roomy, but decided to play along.
“Oh? What’s the phrase ya can’t say?” She asked as she leaned forward and smiled to him rather charmingly, her hands played behind her back.
“Oh, w-well…” He tried to figure out how to put it, “You know how I, umm, say the word umm a lot?”
“Tends to be yer accent, Ducky,” she teased him. Reji flushed brightly as he shrugged his shoulders.
“W-well…she bet me that I, I c-couldn’t go a full week with…without saying it or uhh,” He explained further as he looked around, “S-so far she’s gotten a lot of m-my friends and her s-sisters to watch me for…for it,”
“Like what?” Freya asked innocently as she rocked on her feet a bit.
“The o-other day her sister M-mint caught me after she popped out…out of a planter here in the…the quad,” It was obvious he was nervous at getting caught, “e-even my roommate Jonas is…is watching out for me to, well, to say it,” He turned to look back to Freya only to have a phone suddenly held up at his face. He could tell from the contact information it that the phone was live and being listened to by Blue.
“The week starts over, hun!” her voice cheerfully called over the line to him. Reji just sighed and hung his head as Freya giggled and hung the phone up. The Froslass watched him before she patted him on the back.
“There there, Ducky,” She reassured him, “You know she’s doin’ it fer your own good, right?” Reji nodded his head though it still hung.
“I…I…I know!” He exclaimed, “It’s just really hard!”
“Good things are worth workin’ hard for,” She smiled to him. For all his goofiness she did like the Duck.
“It’s…it’s why I’m n-not going to g-give up,” He said as he took in a deep breath, “If…if it takes m-me all year! I’ll do it!” Freya nodded at that as she smiled and grabbed his face to swing him around to look at her.
“That’s the spirit!” And then she shoved his face into her bosom for a moment, “It’s gonna be really worth it if ya do it right,” Reji erfed but didn’t move even though his face took on a purple hue from how hot he blushed. She soon pulled him out and winked at him.
“Be good, Ducky!” She let the Golduck go before she headed on her way. Reji watched her go as he was still surprised by the sudden, but much enjoyed, bosom cuddle. He nodded his head as he reaffirmed his determination to follow through on the bet and use it to help him break his habit of sounding so unsure in his speech. He knew he’d never be able to fully get away from saying um, everyone used it at some point, but if it meant being a stronger ‘mon and made his girlfriend happy, he wasn’t going to give up!
