(*huffs...* finally got the post done. three days of getting my return just how i like it. next post will be his flashback fight and cap. then he'll arrive at school.)

There was defiantly a nip in the air as the boat sailed slowly through the fog. Isaac stood at the stern watching the wake slowly trail from behind the boat. Isaac just shrugged off the cold. He stared down deep in thought at the opaque dark blue water.

He was heading back to a place where he felt both at home and lost. He'd gone back home due to his uncle catching a particularly bad case of pneumonia, but once it passed Isaac was on his way. It was a mystery to him how the place held so much value despite his very short time there. He only had attended one class before he left, made one friend, and caught one pokemon.





It was type specialization day. I decide that since my starter , Raizer the Quilava, was a fire type I'd attend Blaine's class. It wasn't the fanciest thing. We had class on the side of the volcano for Pete's sake. Blaine assigned us to go looking for some of the fire type that inhabited the area, so we split off into teams of two. I went with a girl named Samantha. She was attending the class with her Ponyta. During our hike we kept mostly quiet until we happened upon a lethargic pokemon meandering around. I flipped out my Pokedex to see it was a Torkoal. Figuring I'd make the day worth while Raizer and I engaged it.

Veronica

Veronica smiled at him "I've been told by my little sister that she thinks all I will ever love is Pokemon, truth is just haven't found that special someone yet and even if I never do, just living my life taking care of Pokemon and teaching others will make me happy" she said. "and you have a Carnivine? I have one back home. Lets just say she is very hyperactive. She loves to hug as well and I always have to remind her to do so gently" Veronica giggled "Where is your Carnivine? Do you have him with you?" she asked with a grin.

Adria

Adria smiled blushing faintly "So there are a lot of area's around the school we're allowed to go to. Is there anywhere we aren't?" she asked Bri curiously having heard some other kids talking about a place they weren't allowed to go to.

Wave smiled at Thyme "Nice to meet you, Thyme is a very cool name" he grinned and Icicle said hi as well both noticing how Thyme narrowed her eyes towards Drizzle and Vaper and Icicle frowned.

Vaper didn't notice and smiled back at Drizzle "It already seems like it" she said.

Genevieve

Genevieve looked at Maxwell and then at the fight and nodded "Okay" she said and held his hand watching as the Growlithe she recognized as Bri's and the Vulpix where beaten by the Grovyle. "Wow, even with fire attacks being strong against grass types the Grovyle still won" she said before she saw Quillie run out at the Grovyle and Maxwell yell only to be ignored "Quillie what are you doing!" she yelled before she saw Jimmy.

"I honestly don't know" she said.

"Oh, ok." Jimmy said as he shrugged and leaned against the wall, not really caring about what was going on but on how it would end. "I could try to get a Grovyle or something..." he said in a very low voice as he watched the Grovyle and Quilava that were about to battle, "It looks like a powerful Pokémon...But I bet it's, like very rare..."

Then he stopped talking and waited patiently for one of the Pokémon to make a move. "Come on...do something..." he thought.

N

N game a smile after Drayden answered his question. Granted this wasn't a normal smile. This was the smile of the young boy from Unova who nearly changed the entire world. The smile of a boy who could understand pokemon on a level very few even get the opporturnity to have. "Understanding their dragon pokemon. That's something I think I can definitely be of assistance for."

And now N walks off as he begins walking around the class room and answering students' questions and seeing if any needed any advice or tips, which he easily gave. . . after having a few seconds to chat with whichever dragon type pokemon the students were working on.

Meanwhile N's creepy theme just plays in the background. Everyone should be feeling an odd sensation as he walks around because he is a freak like his daddy says he is/kidding

Kenshin Ren

Kenshin gave a sigh of relief when the girl agreed to partner up with him. A really audible "Phew" to be precise. He looked to his Dratini and that Dragonair and gave another anime sweatdrop again as he watched them.

Dratini on the other hand looked back up to Dragonair and just gave whatever the Dratini noise is for "Friend?" More of an indirect way of asking "are we friends?"

"Um. . . D-Dratini why don't you g-give Dragonair some room to bre-breathe?" Kenshin asked nervously.

He looked back to the girl and then looked down to his feet as he twiddled his thumbs. "W-Well. . . I. . . I'm not sure. I didn't even know . . . a lot about some of the stuff the Teacher said today about. . . well about Dratini's. I mean. . . I know about the shedding and all. . . but some of the stuff he said. . . kinda makes sense now that I think about it. Dr-Dratini does like playing in water and all. . . and I know he's strong but. . . able to control the weather? I. . . find that a little surprising. . . I'm not sure where to begin."

[Oh! Could it be a New Friend?!​

Kellyn and Genesis


"Sorry to interrupt," a voice said behind them, "but you two seem pretty bored. Are you new here?"

Jolt jumped as she heard the voice behind her trainer and quickly turned around to throw some form of lightning at it. Genesis, however, was faster and grabbed her pokemon. "Oh no you don't," she said, looking at the student who talked to them. "Oh, you're not interrupting anyone and yes, we are new here." Holding up her hand, she started to talk again, "I'm Genesis and this is-"

Kellyn cut her off before she said something insulting about him, as she usually did. "And I'm her amazing step-brother Kellyn," he said," and these are our Pokemon. The Mightyena is Bliss, the dark looking Eevee is Dusk, and that Larvitar on my shoulder is none other than Chomp." All three Pokemon growled in acknowledgement and went back to playing with Genesis' Pokemon, Chomp the exclusion.

Genesis took another look at the kid. He had a tan jacket and black hair that looked a bit like Kellyn's. To top it off, he seemed the same age too! "So what is your name," she asked the boy.

Skye

Skye sighed a little bit. This was not going to end well. Pokemon were challenging left and right, the Grovyle was testier than normal, and that teacher just went to freak out Ciel and Quin. Ooh... that was dangerous. However... these guys could blow up the Center. It was probably best to cool them down. He hesitated a moment, then nodded. Rei was definitely weaker than Arcino. But he looked as if he had been in a lot of battles today and Synthesis just couldn't be used all the time. So the starter had to give out sometime. Maybe this would do it. And that Fire type wouldn't last either one of them.

He tossed out a Pokeball and released Rei, the Lapras looking confused for a moment at the lack of water. Then she understood and crooned at Skye before letting out a pulse of water from her mouth. "Enough of this," she called as the attack streamed to burst between them. "This is a foolish endeavour on all accounts!"

"You guys are so mean to each other," Pala declared, crossing her stubby front paws.

(THe Water Pulse is not meant to hit either Pokemon but you can have that happen if you want."

Ciel and Ash

Ciel shuddered. He was freaked out but it was entirely different kind of freaked out. Ciel knew power, knew when people had it. This woman, whoever it was, she had it, and it was more than an ordinary taste. For someone like him, who couldn't quite grasp his powers, she was terrifying. She was smiling like a cat who had gotten the cream. Underneath that though, he could detect concern, an odd feeling. He shivered again, still scared, still intimidated. Wincing, he settled back against the pillows. This woman was strong, but she wasn't going to use it, at leat that was what he thought.

Ash grinned at him. "Relax kiddo, you'll wake up the baby. And you," she turned to stare at Quin. She could see his Aura. Too bad he couldn't use it. Did she know what he was thinking? A bit. Telepathy rocked. Plus his stance and Aura could tell a few things."Your friend is currently watching your Pokemon beat up some Fire-type saps and is probably trying to stop it. And I know that's your Pokemon, it came in here didn't it? Also I am most certainly in the right room kiddo. I may not know much about anything except blowing things up and playing with my epic Pokemon but I do know a teacher checks up on her students." She winked a bit and smiled at Ciel again. "So... Psychic?" Surprised he nodded. "Figured. Only Psychics remember to freak out when I come through the door." CIel managed a laugh.

Arcino

"Ok, you wanna pice o' me!" Arcino growled at the Quillava that had just appeared. He assumed a battle stance, knowing that his energy for Synthesis was gone. He'd just have to finish the rat off quickly. His leafy arms created glowing green blades and he dashed forward, preparing to strike. He shifted his gaze and then leapt back, avoiding the Water Pulse and calling off his attack. He spun to face the boy and his lapras.

"Ey! Get lost!" he shouted angrily at them, not taking his gaze off of the Quillava that he was facing. If this kid wanted to jump into things that didn't concern him, then Arcino was not going to be held responsible for any damage.

Quin

"Arcino!" Quin said, his face turning white, "Oh god, he's going to get himself hurt!" He looked at Ciel and then at Ash. Ezar sighed and jumped to the ground and walked outside of the room again. Quin wanted to run out there and do something. He knew Zemda could knock Arcino around and make him give it a rest. But hen, what about Ciel? He couldn't just up and leave his friend all alone like that! And this person... Something bothered him about her.

"You say you're a teacher? You look barely older than me! What exactly do you teach, and when did they start letting kids teach here?" he said with a grin as Zara cracked up in his mind.

Logana

The venonat grinned and used her Confusion to lift the tadpole off of her head and put him on the ground. She twitched her feelers and sighed.

"It's not a problem guy!" she said happily. Ezar walked back over to her and poked her.

"We have a serious problem..." Ezar said. Logana nodded at her.

"I know, but I'm not good at battling by myself," she said quietly.

Brian

"I heard there is a place deep in the forest we shouldn't go... And I... I think someone said something about a swamp..." Brian said with a slight grin. He looked down at Duster, who was still standing next to him. He got curious about the TMs again.

"Duster, would you run back to my room and get those TMs my brother sent me? I want to see what they are..." he said. Duster grinned and nodded before taking off toward the Entei Dorm. Thyme watched her go then turned back towards the other pokemon. She looked at the expression that Icicle had and frowned as well.

"What's your problem?" she asked bluntly. Frost was still smirking as he sat on the ground and watched. Drizzle was either ignoring them or oblivious to them as he talked to Vaper.

"Anyways... I'll have to take you to the beach at sunset some time. The way the water sparkles and the sky lights up... I bet you'd love it!" Drizzle said with a wide smile.

"Smooth," Frost muttered to himself, chuckling.

Leena

Leena giggled and shrieked an earplitting noise. From every angle, ghosts floated through the walls and laughed, floating around the room trying to scare or startle Mark and Snype.

"Meet the crew!" she giggled as the Haunter that had kidnapped Skye appeared next to her, laughing as she giggled.

Quillie

Quillie grinned, he was going to enjoy every second of beating the crap out of this Grovyle. Suddenly a Water Pulse struck the ground in front of him, Quillie looked back to see a rather familiar boy and his Lapras. Quillie glared at the Lapras, his eyes burning with rage.
[What? You wanna fight too? Fine! I'll make both of you into mincemeat!] Quillie roared as he started to run towards the Lapras. It wasn't as strong as the Grovyle so he'd dispose of it first, the Quilava's feet started glowing as he charged up a Double Kick.

Katam

Katam looked up at Logana,
[Hey thanks.] he said. The Tympole looked outside the Pokemon Center window to see Quillie charging towards a Lapras. Wow, Quillie was scary when he got angry.

Maxwell

"Oh hey Jimmy!" Maxwell said when he saw the boy from earlier. He looked back to Quillie not even thinking about introducing Genevieve to Jimmy,
"I'm not sure, but I take it that the Grovyle said something earlier that ticked Quillie off." he said, "Since it just beat two Fire-types by itself I guess it said something diminishing towards said type."

Maxwell then started to walk towards the place where Quillie was now fighting a Lapras that just showed up with... Skye?! Heh, this was getting interesting. As Maxwell got a few feet away from Quillie, the Quilava suddenly stopped. Uh oh, he wasn't quite sure how Maxwell was going to react, but his next words surprised him.
"Hey Skye!" Maxwell said behind the mask, "Seems Quillie is determined to fight, so I won't stop him. And now to my question, how about a battle? Or even better, how about a three-on-three battle between you, me and the owner of that Grovyle? If it has one that is." the eyes of the mask almost seemed to gleam a little bit as Maxwell proposed his question.

Ash and Ciel

Ciel frowned. She was young yes but... okay Quin was being silly. She was what she was; he could tell. Something said this woman was a bad liar. He couldn't quite grasp what or why he thought this though.

Ash only smirked. "I am afraid I am a teacher for you brats and someone like you should know better than to ask a lady her age." She snorted. "Not that I am a lady, mind you. I teach Self-Defense and Intermediate Battle Study. And by the way kiddo," She flicked his forehead, sending a small pulse of Aura as she did. "There's a funny thing called college. Get some brains and they might let you in."

Riley, who had been out of her Pokeball the entire time, was squeaking irritably. Ash was Ash! Honestly, humans.

Skye

Skye scowled a bit. He was trying to stop the fighting, not encourage it. But he knew that Grovyle wouldn't back down easily and Max had given the OK. So no choice then. He nodded quietly and patted Rei's neck. He then stepped away from his Pokemon and whistled sharply. Rei reacted instantly, growling at Arcino before releasing a second Water Pulse toward Quillie. Since she couldn't move, this would be a test of Rei's stamina.

"Ah-Ah-Arcino hah-has a truh-trainer."

"Duh," Rama muttered. "How many Grovyle have you seen in the wild? They're not exactly Pikachu." He rolled his eyes. "Muscle bound brats."

"Hmm..." Jimmy said, and stood there against the wall, watching the battle. He yawned as he was getting bored, and was about to leave when something happened. A Lapras joined the battle, and all of a sudden it turned into a three-on-three battle. "Wow...This should get interesting..." he said in a very low voice. He sent out Grim and Starr so they could watch the battle.

[Oh! Oh! Three against three!] Starr said, looking really excited about the battle, although he wasn't participating in it.
Grim yawned [Oh...Three on three...] she said, sounding bored.
[Isn't it, like, awesome?] Starr asked Grim, who shook her head.
[Whatever...] she said and yawned, not really giving a damn about the battle.

Arcino

Arcino growled back at Rei and focused on Quillie.

"I appreciate what you're trying to do, but you can stop! I'm not letting the rat off!" he said, using his new Rock Slide, making rocksdrop so that they would fall on Quillie if he leapt to the right to dodge the water pulse.

Quin

"Oh, you want to compare degrees? I hapen to have a bachalors in engineering... So I would say I more than have brains. And you should clean your ears a bit. I never asked your age, only guessed that you weren't much older than me... Heh, nice Raichu, he looks tough," he said, cocking his head at her.

"Anyways, those classes sound interesting. I look forward to attending them Ms..." he said, his voice trailing off.

Logana and Ezar

"That's it! I've had enough of those stupid boys and their stupid egos! I'm putting a stop to this!" Ezar said angrily. She huffed and glared at Katam for a second before walking back towards the room Quin was in. Logana shook her head.

"Geez... What's her problem?" she said sadly.

Quillie

Quillie was surprised that Maxwell allowed the battle to happen, he smirked at the Water Pulse coming towards him and the Rock Slide to his right. Quillie's feet stopped glowing as the Quilava switched his attack, instead, he now started to glow with a pinkish aura. Then, right as the Water Pulse would've hit him, Quillie disappeared.

Normally when a pokemon used Extrasensory, they woul just fire a psychic pulse towards their opponent, but Quillie had never really been able to master that part. So instead, he focuses his attack into his speed, which makes it seem like he disappeared for a while. Then he fires off a smaller, concentrated pulse at his target and then he "reappears" behind them.

Quillie then reappeared behind Rei, he stood in a fighting stance huffing and hoping that the attack had hit. If it did, he would've done some decent damage on the Lapras, and if it didn't hit... Well then he was in deep trouble.

Katam

Katam saw Ezar glare at him and walk away,
[What? What've I done?] he yelled after her, [Do you expect me to go out and stop them? Obviously, I can't.] the Tympole let off a sigh, he looked at Logana. [Well, I'm sure that she wanted me to go out there and stop Quillie...] he said and looked to the floor, [But I'm certain that I can't do that...]

Maxwell

Maxwell stepped back a bit, this was very interesting...

Mark had very well braced himself for all of the ghosts that would be in the abandoned dorm. Figures that Leena would bring out a big group of them. At least, the ones that weren't too hostile. Mark recognized a bit of the species that resided in the mansion. It was mostly ghastly and some sableye as well as a few other ghosts that he didn't recognize. They certainly gave Mark a good spook or two.

"Heh... so all theese ghosts are gonna help with the ship huh? You'll all keep your word on that I hope! If I know ghosts like Snype here they arent exactly the most predictable... though that does make it more fun in the end!" Mark said giving off a small chuckle.

Snype looked around at all of the ghosts, mostly the small group of sableye that had joined them. It had been so long since he saw another of his species. It was like being back at home, accept he usually lived in a cave. He wondered just how the Sableye here got to eat. Maybe there was a little cave nearby and this was just their hangout spot? That would make sense.

Ash and Ciel

"I think it was more like she was giving you a warning," Raph muttered dryly. "Because insulting the woman who can beat you up and get paid for it is always a smart idea. Or maybe it's just a comment on not to tick off girls in general. WHo can say?"

She gave the boy a cursory glance and rolled her eyes. Honestly, nobody could catch a joke when they heard it at this place...She wondered if he had figured out she was telepathic yet... meh, that was a mostly unheard of Aura usage, mostly because few people actually could use the stuff. She could tell he couldn't, which she found typical unfortunately. It was always the brainiacs who had the trouble with it, at least all the ones she knew. Then again, considering her boyfriend was way too intelligent for his own good at times, that may not be entirely true.

"Harris," she finally introduced, smirking with derisive amusement. "Ash Harris. Glad to meet ya kid. Now can I find a more interesting conversation..." She turned away to Ciel, who tilted his head shyly, unsure whther to be offended. "Looks like you won't be fightin' for a while dude."

"Um... nope?" He was completely confused, even as the woman grinned.

"Don't worry, I'll just let Mr. Engineer over her take your blows." Ciel paled. She was serious... wasn't she?

Skye

Skye watched quietly as Rei was hit by the Psychic attack. It wasn't like she could move too well on land, at least right now. Rei lifted her head after the recoil, staring at Quillie as she fired a Confuse Ray at the Fire type. Why she was ignoring Arcino, he couldn't guess. THe QUilava was probably annoying.

Meanwhile, Pala was waddling toward Arcino. Her tiny face was set in a fury even as she sniffled from her constant nose drip. She stopped in front of the Grovyle with her paws on her hips. "You're so mean!" she declared, glaring with black eyes at the Grass-type. "You think just 'cause you're strong you can pick on everybody like that? It's mean and it's dumb! Showing off like that is lame anyway, Rama said so!" The fox grinned, as the bear had no clue what that meant.
