"Squirtle Squirt!" Squirtle slapped Cassie in the face, incessantly trying to wake her up. After trying for five minutes, Squirtle nearly gave up on her. Not even Seel's whines could wake up Cassie. Squirtle shrugged, finally just giving Cassie one good jet of water to the face, not knowing what else to do.

Cassie bolted upright, wiping her face with her covers immediately. Alarmed, Cassie looked around the small dorm room, eyes locking onto Seel. Seel looked back at her, puppy dog eyes aglow, wanting immediately be cuddled. Cassie ignored Seel, finding Squirtle's mischievous form next.

"Squirtle!" She exclaimed, squeezing her wet hair. "What was that for?" She looked at the clock with a shock. "Ahh!" She yelped, springing up immediately. "How did it get this late?"

Cassie sprung up, getting dressed as Squirtle threw her bag to her. She picked up Seel, who snuggled comfortably into Cassie's arms. "We gotta go!" Cassie ran for the hall, nearly slamming the door on Squirtle. Angry, Squirtle aimed another water jet at Cassie's shoes before hurrying after her.

Cassie started in surprise, looking down to see who she carelessly bumped into. She smiled, seeing it was a young girl, probably a few years younger than her. Cassie stood up and offered her hand to the girl, her long hair swaying behind her. She tried to put on her nicest face and found Squirtle trying to mimic her.

"Sorry about that. I'm in a bit of a hurry...I'd love to get to go to the water pokemon class!" Cassie burst out quickly as she took her hand back, realizing that she really did not have time to help the young stranger. "I hope you're not hurt!" She said, backing up slowly. Squirtle yanked at the back of her skirt, trying to push Cassie along with him. Cassie nodded towards the girl in a curt manner at best, though more rude than anything.

"Snivy!" Clive cried as he was struck by Zoro's claws. Gah! Jacy bit her lip, the battle had just begun and Clive had already been hurt. "Okay Clive, time for Tackle!" She cried, pointing at Zoro. Clive turned and nodded to his trainer before he tackled Zoro with full force, sending them both tumbling to the ground.

Piff grinned at Harmony. "Eevee!" You may be saying that now, but Clive is tough! She knew, of course, Clive had never won a battle, but she had so much faith in her trainer that she thought they could pull through this battle. Her thoughts were interrupted, however, when she thought she heard the rustling again. She scampered off, unnoticed by her trainer, to investigate. Bolt, seeing her, followed her and cried, "Shinx!" Where are you going?! You could get hurt!

Clive glared at the Zorua he was tackling. "Sniiiiiiiii-vy!!!" I will beat you no matter what! I am determined to do so!

From the bushes emerged a gray, puppy-like Pokemon neither Piff nor Bolt could identify. "Eevee?" What's that? Bolt ran behind Piff, scared of whatever it was. The Pokemon ran off in the direction of the old, abandoned Lugia dorms. Piff, being her usual curious self, scampered off after. Bolt ran after her, crying out along the way. "Shinx!" Wait, Piff!

Vendra Gerrard

Ven had returned to his own dorm to sleep and rest a bit before going of on another short stroll somewhere. He had ordered his pokemon to do whatever they liked to for the next couple of hours.
(Previously before he went to bed)
"Ahhh, I'm soooo tired. I don't know about you guys, so if anyone wants to sleep please just slack off right here. But if anybody wants a bit of adventure, then just roam about wherever you like for the next two hours." said Gen
He wanted to sleep without interference so he hoped everyone would be going outside, and it seems it was so.
(Present time)

apparently, Falco and Veera had been saying what to do. None of the members had anything against this, not even Snacks. They said that the team will rendezvous outside of Ven's room in about two hours or so. They also said that they should be going in pairs, but if they didn't want to, it's perfectly fine.

Snacks

Snacks did not care about going in pairs, he wanted to go on his own wherever and whenever. Luckily, he had his sense to stay near Ven's dorm, he decided getting scolded wasn't very much fun.

Dante

Dante was on is way back to the dorm when he noticed a bunch of people in costumes. After seeing them, Dante just shrugged off idea thought and continued his way to the dorm. Upon reaching the dorm, Dante walked inside and went to his dorm room to see what class his has next.

"Hmm, so what is my next class?" Dante said to himself as he entered the room and picked up his schedule. "Oh, it is still type specialization again. Great, I can go to Steel-type specialization class."

Dante run out of the dorm room and headed outside toward the direction of the class.

"Man, I hope the class is going to be fun", Dante said as he ran to class.

Cassie sighed at the young girl, looking both physically and mentally weak at the same time. Though she was new, Cassie inwardly sighed, knowing she was more confident around here than this girl in front of her. Cassie wondered if she was even newer than herself. Slowly, Cassie walked back toward the girl, putting back on a small, nervous smile; she wasn't nervous around the girl, more so that she was going to be late. Again, Cassie put her hand out, but kept it there this time.

"Okay, you can come, but we have to go quickly." She said, trying to not scare the girl further. "By the way, I'm Cassie. I'm new here, too. This is my Squirtle and Seel, too." She motioned towards her Pokemon, Squirtle nodding and Seel clapping his small fins together.

The Entei dorm girl continued to drag the pale Jimmy across the Academy, towards teh Emergency room. "C'mon..." she said as the boy got even more pale, "Stay with me..."

Jimmy ran near the bikers, and tried to punch them, but his fist passed right through them. "Oh...right..." he said and rolled his eyes. He could see the surprised expression on his double's face, and on Koffing too. The thugs bikes were blwing smoke on the kid's face, and he started to cough a lot and feel dizzy.

"We're the Kanto Pokémon Association!" one of the bikers said as they stopped moving in circles around him. "Hand over all the money you got, kid!" another biker said.

"No!" the kid said. Jimmy smiled at his past self.

"Who do you think you are?" another biker said, "When we tell you to jump, you jump! When we tell you to give us your cash, you hand it over!"

"And who do you think you are?!" Jimmy yelled at them in anger, "I ain't scared of you. You're just a bunch of douchebags on choppers to me." The Koffing that was with him glared at the bikers. "Now buzz off!"

"Oh, you think you're tough?" another biker said, "You can't take us. So, if I were you, I'd give us all the cash I got!"

"What are you gonna do if I don't, eh?" Jimmy replied angrily, "Blow more smoke in my face? Circle me some more with your choppers?" The bikers looked like they were getting mad. "Now get the hell outta here before you regret pissing me off!" the boy yelled, and the bikers got off their bikes.

"That's it!" the leader of the bikers said, "Nobody messes with us! Mitch, Lefty, let's get this punk!" Then the three bikers sent out three Grimers. The boy's Koffing then stepped up.

"Bring it!" the boy yelled. Jimmy watched the confrontation, looking happy because he knew how everything would turn out.

Kinko was not headed toward the Center, she was getting the idiot enemies away from Quin. Sure that she had done that right at least, she hurried back after him, running to chase Quin by scent. Triac caught up to her quickly and she heard the unnaturally happy chirping of Chika above. "Chika should go get that other human," she told Triac. "You know, that one."

"That narrows it down quite a bit Kinko," Triac commented. "Who are you referring to?"

"You know!" the Vulpix cried out in exasperation. "The one with the pretty necklace!"

"Ah."Triac did grasp this memory and nodded to Chika, who had been floating above them, listening, flew off. Unlike them, she knew just who that human was. Skye would be good for Ciel when the boy woke up. Probably. That or he wouldn't freak out when he saw him. That smaller boy would, she knew. Bri was not very good with these situations right away. Having Ciel go into another crying fit would not end well.

~~

Kira chuckled a little as Aerial Ace hit, diving under and firing an Aura Sphere. "You had to use a healing move this early on. Are you sure my estimation wasn't right? That isn't exactly a move you can use all the time." He leapt away from the Grovyle after firing another attack, spinning carefully on his hind paws.

~~

Skye listened to Pryce carefully.It was too bad about Ice-types and their defensive power. They were literal glass cannons. At least Rei could cover most of the weaknesses. But Pala was doomed. Poor Pala and she did her best too. The cub was not angry now and was merrily bouncing on the chair. Pryce had a Dewgong and was displaying a few Ice moves. He had to remember which ones to teach his Pokemon.

Logana

Logana chased after Triac and Chika, but she was slower than then. She got there right when Chika flew off. She huffed and puffed for breath.

"Where's she going? Why didn't you guys wait for me?" she said quietly.

Quin

"Move it! Out of the way!" Quin called in a commanding voice to the people in front of him. His father's voice. The voice he hated having to use. But that was not the time for this. He dashed past some students into the pokemon center. A nurse spotted him and rushed over.

"Oh my goodness! What happened?" she asked.

"He got caught in a rockslide. I think he has a concusion, and he's bleeding somewhere..." Quin said. The nurse snapped her fingers and motioned for a stretcher. Quin looked at Ciel.

"Come on buddy, stay with me. Don't go to sleep yet!" he said for the thousandth time. He laid Ciel on the stretcher. and watched them roll him away.

"Wait! His pokemon need healing too!" Quin called after them. Ezar looked at him and settled into the bag again.

Arcino

Arcino growls savagely as he swings at the Aura Spheres, causing them to explode. He leapt back again, reviewing his options. They were pretty grim.

"Damn it Master! Why did you only teach me one distance move!" he shouted angrily as he leapt forward with Leaf Blade again.

Brian

"What did you call me?" Sprinkles growled as he advanced on Thyme. Brian was watching this with wide eyes as Thyme stood with her back to Sprinkles and her arms crossed on her chest.

"I called you a brat! What are you going to do about it?" she said back, her voice quite cross.

"Sp-sprinkles! Thyme! Enough!" Brian said finally. Thyme eyed Sprinkles with disgust as he growled at her.

"He started it," she said resolutely.

"I'm going to end it. You're scaring Bouncy! Do you both want to go in your pokeballs?" Bri said firmly, well, as firmly as he could. Thyme and Sprinkles glanced at each other and gave a little 'humph' before walking away from each other. Thyme climbed up to Bri's shoulder. Sprinkles sighed and began rolling around in the grass. Thank goodness that was over... For the moment at least.

Triac

The Flaaffy paused where he walked at the sight of the Venonat. "My deepest apologies," he murmured. "We honestly forgot you. Here you are miss." He calmly lifted the Pokemon onto his back. "I am certain this will be better than trying to keep up with us. And Chika has gone to get a friend of our trainer, someone who will be able to be quiet and calm in this situation. We cannot expect your human to do everything can we?"

"Come on, come on, come on!" Kinko yipped. "Ciel is ahead, he is! Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Triac nodded and trotted off on all fours, carefully trying to ensure Logana didn't fall off. They made it to the Pokemon Center as Ciel was taken away.

Kira

"Oh my, this is a problem," Kira commented at the Grovyle's frustration. "Here allow me to remedy it." He ducked under and spun backwards, kicking with a fiery Blaze Kick, even as the Leaf Blade struck his face.

Ciel

Ciel heard Quin shouting but it was fuzzy, distant. Ooh, he was sleepy. Surely it wouldn't be so bad to sleep now... the Absol was okay, he was off the scary mountain and not lost anymore... where was he anyway? He couldn't really see anything but white.

"You're in a hospital," a voice stated, one he knew very well.

"Raph?" he murmured hazily and there was a quiet sigh. The angel shook his head distantly. He could see the nurses looking warily at each other. Was the boy hallucinating? The blood loss must be bad... but it was only a few trickles now, one from his head, others from his arm and a gash on his back.

"Honestly young master... I can't leave you alone for a minute..." He sounded amused and exasperated.

"Am I going anywhere?" the boy asked him softly, dizzily. Raph shook his head no and placed his hands on Ciel's forehead.

"Not any time soon I hope."

Ciel gave a crazed, slightly hysterical giggle. "Your hands are cold."

"That's because I'm dead."

Skye

Skye glanced at the window at random, following the rest of the students outside to a battlefield. It was battling time. Great. He was almost looking forward to it... except something was bothering him. He was not feeling the battling urge. Well someone was following him, according to Rama.

He saw it now, a bird desperately flying after him. A Togetic?

Pala answered it for him. "Chika!"

Skye paused and let the others go ahead, carefully petting the Flying-type, which looked exhausted. She didn't let him do so for long, flying off quickly in the direction of the Pokemon Center. Skye looked around then followed. There was an odd number of students anyway.

Endure & Zemrath

Endure had been wandering around on his own for a while to think about stuff. He thought about why he decided to submit instead of running away."Guess that blade guy just earned my respect, after all he beat me down like heck knows what." thought Endure to himself.
Out of nowhere, Zemrath popped up and asked,"What's going on, you thinking about something?"
"Oh, nothing really. Just some stuff." replied Endure.
"Okay then......" said Zemrath
They took a little stroll around the dorm while conversing about Ven's personality and how they fit in. " After being with him for some time now, I would say that he is quite dumb, an idiot at times, likes to daydream a lot but otherwise a nice guy." commented Zemrath.
"Really? well I thought he was a proper and total idiot!" said Endure it a bit of surprise.
Zemrath told him to not judge people by their looks, as people who appear to be the ultimate nice guy can be the ultimate baddie.
"Okay then, I won't judge people like that anymore." said Endure
"Good" said Zemrath.
They talked about their lives for a little bit and their respective histories.
"I never knew how I got beaten by Veera at the time I was caught, frankly, she beat me in a flash!" stated Zemrath. Afterwards they sat down while chatting some more.

Zoro was struck by the tackle, sending him to the ground. Standing back up, Zoro shook the dirt off of him, glaring at the snivy."Zoro! don't underestimate your opponent! Now, Use Dark Pulse!" said Sky, knowing that Dark pulse was a move that Zoro had just learn a little while ago, and that he still has a bit of trouble controling it.
"Zorua!" I'm not stupid! I know not to underestimate my opponent...even if it is a weak snivy! said Zoro as he charges up a dark pulse, and shoots it to the Snivy, the dark pulse beam wavers a bit as to shoots towards the snivy, but other then that it looks okay.

Meanwhile Harmony notices the Eevee and Shinx run off, and decides to follow them. "A-Audino!" W-wait up guys! said the small Audino as it chases after the two pokemon. Leaving behind her little flag.

((Sorry i haven't posted in a while, my computer wouldn't let me connect to the internet for some reason))
(( I also see the Dark Pulse move in the anime/manga sense, like a beam, rather then the game sense, like a pulse or wave, cause I thought it would be hard to dodge if it was a wave ))

Quin

Quin sat down in a chair and waited. He was terribly worried, but they wouldn't let him in the room right now. He sighed and lay his head against the wall. He hoped that Ciel was ok.

"Gah... I hate this waiting! And I wonder what happened to Arcino and Logana..." Quin said to Ezar, who was curled up in his lap. She had decided that since he wasn't going to let her go, she may as well make herself comfy. But she had no idea who Arcino was.

Logana

"Yeah. Hey thanks!" she said with a grin as she was picked up.

"I hope this other human can help. Quincy... He's not exactly good at dealing with people that are... Um..." she said as she rode on Triac's back.

Arcino

"OOF!" Arcino growled as he was kicked. He fell to the ground and groaned. He blinked a bit. After a few moments he began laughing as he lay on his back.

"Gahahahah... You're tough..." he said faintly as he started to get to his feet.

Nova

"Let's go." Nova said. He looked at the Vulpix, who nodded. Vulpix looked up at him, and the two of them set off towards Oak Town.
