The Pokémon Trainer Academy (T) [Best Veteran 4Q '11]

[Megaman765]

Mark got up from his seat and threw away whatever trash he had. It was a shame there was so much tension between everyone all of a sudden. Lucia left and Issac stormed out as well. It was just the three of them now. Oh well, it was a good time to head to the dorms. Snype hopped onto Mark's shoulder as he followed the two Suicuner's.

"...Bah... sorry that had to happen. I seriously have no idea how that came about. What's done is done though." Mark said. "...I don't think I've even been in a Suicuine dorm room actually. I've been in an Entei dorm once but never a Suiciune one."

[silverexorcist]

Julius

"It's true--Vibrava isn't a bug type. It's a unique combination of ground and dragon. As far as I know, it's the only pokemon, aside from its own evolution, with that natural type combination. But you father named you Arti because he enjoyed art himself? Seems like a straight forward guy."

Julius glanced toward George beside them. "We should show Arti to his dorm first before heading back to the Suicune dorms, since he doesn't know his way around, don't you think?"

[PinkSapphire]

Ruby Sapphire Fiona Destiny

The Tentou tried to rawr his name to her, making it understandible for her. 'ah so it's Tentou, cool name.' Ruby started petting him again. 'you don't have to try to rawr your name, i can understand pokemon language.' she whispered to him, so that Kilik and Jack couldn't hear it at all, even though Kilik probely had noticed it already when they battled.

"Hey...Kilik," Jack greeted back a little slowly, was he annoyed by him? why would he? Kilik hadn't given her the expression that he was a annoying person. "So......you seem down, what happened failed a class or something?" Jack was right about that, Kilik seemed a little down, she wondered what happened but his next words made her understand that he didn't want to say it. 'if there's anything wrong, you can always tell me okay?' Ruby smiled at him trying to make him feel better.

Kilik suggested to go on a exploration, to be honest her ankle was still hurting a little from a while ago, but she decided it wouldn't stop her, esspecially not if this could cheer him up a little. 'count me in.' she said with a soft voice as she brushed her blonde hair out of her face.

[Arctos]

George Edmunds

George waited patiently for the other two to finish their exchange finishing up his food as he did so and placing the empty box back in the plastic bvag it came in before stowing it in his pack to be disposed of later.

In answer to Julius he said:
"Sounds like a plan! Lets get moving. I havent got the slightest idea where to go once we're inside the academy but I'm sure there'll be a map."

He turned to Kane, Aber and Uhuru. "Oi you three! Lets get moving come on! Stop mucking about!"
He smiled as they rushed to his sides and he bent down to give each of them a gentle pet. Kane began to paw at Georges leg.
"Okay big guy I'll carry you."
He picked the dog pokemon up in his arms and turned back to the other two trainers.
"Well we're all ready to go. Julius would you mind leading seeing as you seem to have more of an idea as to where we're going?"
He smiled again. So many new friends in one day. Arti on the other hand was the first non-suicune he'd met. It would be interesting to judge the skill difference perhaps in a battle or maybe just watching him train. But it was too late for either now and he desperately wanted to get to bed and eat his other box of ramen. His stomach made a slight gurgle in agreement to this last thought.

[Lt. Col. Fantastic]

Arti Dell

Arti thought the way George spoke was very humerous. He didn't want to be rude, so he kept his comedy act to himself. He couldn't supress a laugh when George said "Oi!" , however. Arti realized that they were about to move on, so he picked Swadloon up and set him on his shoulder. Swadloon clicked in response, shifting her weight to get into a more comfortable position.

"Sorry about that, girl," he said, "Larry got me good." The clothed pokemon sterted to close her eyes, and Arti figured she was too tired to go out tonight.

I still gotta go shopping. The boat got here later than I thought...I hope the stores stay open after dark like in Castelia City. Swadloon is gonna have to stay in the dorm...I don't like being apart, but I giess we have to.

He followed Julius on his four, and Goerge on his seven. Like this, the three set out towards the Academy. Julius seemed to have a good sense of direction and idea of nis surroundings, something Arti needed to work on. His time in the city led to his sense of direction being street signs and the alphanumerical system the city was laid out in. He wouldn't have any of that out here.

[CrumbledCandyWrapper]

Lusca followed close next to Danielle, Mark following close behind them both. He was slightly surprised by what Mark had said. They're allowed to go in other classes dorms? I should remember that ...

Lusca couldn't quite read what Danielle was feeling right now. Hopefully she wasn't upset though, and better yet, hopefully it wasn't Lusca's fault. Mark and himself almost watched as Lucia and Issac went at it. Mark spoke up in her defense however, but all Lusca had done was try to play peacemaker ...which really didn't amount to much as it was. Regretfully, Lusca's day had slowly begun to come to a close. Issac was definitely on Lusca's list, that was for sure. He ruined what was supposed to be a proper meet between his new classmates. The thought of how angered he was at the lowly Hoenn Trainer made him want to spit, but Lusca quickly left the thought alone. He was sure everyone would ha e had enough of that for one evening.

Danielle had led them all towards large and extravagant blue tinted buildings, making the breath in Lusca's throat nearly catch in awe. There really wasn't time to take it all in though, there really wasn't enough light for it, despite the overly florescent scenery. Hopefully Mark and Danielle wouldn't just show him to his room and leave it at that. There was still the matter of finding out where he needed to go tomorrow morning. There had to be some classes he needed to attend right? The thought of his Pokemon then stamped itself into his mind. Lleba and Slick haven't been out of their Pokeball's since the days started.

Guess that'd have to wait until he found his room though ...

[silverexorcist]

Julius

Julius frowned. The two of them expected him to have some sort of mental map of the academy, when in truth, he had drawn a map of another map in order to get his bearings. He had it stashed away in his bag, but it made him feel slightly akward to take it out now, what with the faith they were putting in him.

I'll leave it unless we become really lost. Julius decided with a sigh. I should be able to find my way around. Although I've never been to the Raikou dorm...

Julius muttered to Vibrava and the pokemon fluttered its wings as it ascended to sit atop Tropius' head. From their, it began using super sonic at a frequency so high, no one could hear it. Using this means of echolocation, Vibrava used super sonic at another frequency that whispered the directions in Julius' ear.

"This way." Julius sighed in relief. Thetechnique he'd devised to navigate dark caverns and other unfamiliar terrains ended up coming in handy for once. He couldn't help but feel a little pride in his pokemon as he began in the direction Vibrava said the Raikou dorm was in.

[Arctos]

George Edmunds

George noticed the slight look of worry cross Julius' face for a split second but then the boy started to move off and George assumed it must have been to do with something else and not the pressure they had placed on him to lead them to the dorms.

"I'm glad someone seems to know where they're going. I usually just wander in the rough direction of the building and follow signs." He smiled as he said this. Kane gave a little yawn before going back to sleep in George's arms.

"So...youre an artist Arti? I can only just about manage anatomical diagrams. I'm more stale and science-y opposed to imaginative and arty I'm afraid. Still...I would love to have a look at your work sometime. Do you have any other hobbies?" George smiled at the boy and continued walking on. Falling in behind Julius.

"What about you Julius? You have any hobbies besides pokemon?" It was a poor conversation starter but George reasoned it was better than the three of them walking in silence.

[Lt. Col. Fantastic]

Artemesio Dell

Julius thought for a moment, and sent Vibrava to the top of Tropius. Seconds later, he spoke.

"This way," he said, a little relieved. Arti figured the raiku dorm was logged deep within Julius's memory, or something. Arti was just glad Julius was there to lead them.

George spoke up as they continued towards the Academy.

"So...youre an artist Arti? I can only just about manage anatomical diagrams. I'm more stale and science-y opposed to imaginative and arty I'm afraid. Still...I would love to have a look at your work sometime. Do you have any other hobbies?" 

Arti had to think about George's question for a bit.

"Hmmm....well, besides art, I also like cooking. Usually I make dinner for my dad and I, but occasionally we go out to eat pizza or Johto food. I love Johto food, and I've started learning how to cook it. But the take out is a lot better than what I make. I also like to play the piano, and I've actually gotten pretty good at it. As an artist, I'm better at drawing than painting, but I can use miscellanious items for art as well. Here," Arti opened his sketchbook and pulled out a loose paper. It had a black guitar neck on it, made of some sort of black, shiny material. It wove and formed, making a perfect silhouette of the guitar.

"Film strips, from my photography mishaps. Its symbolizing taking failure and turning it into something great. At least, thats what I tell everyone. Really I was just bored one day."

Arti laughed. George smiled and turned to Julius as they walked.

"What about you, Julius?" he asked, "You have any hobbies outside pokemon?"

[jackblaze]

(OOC: I lost light mid post so this is kinda a abridged version of what I really wanted to post)

Jack Jacobs
Pokemon Center

Jack listened to the two as they spoke of going out on some sort of adventure but he was a bit sceptical about that especially after glancing out the window to see that night was coming soon. Was it really the best time to want to go out and explore and have some kind of adventure? Jack was unsure but he gave Blade a look as if he was asking his opinion but the scizor only responded with a little nonchalant shrug.

An adventure with a girl he had just met and a boy he kinda had a battle with once, could be pretty interesting. "Where to" obviously Kilik was just acting off a spur of the moment thing and Ruby was going along with it too. "Its going to get pretty dark soon and we wouldn't want to go somewhere unsafe right" Jack hoped he didn't seem like a downer or anything but safety had to be a priority at this time of day, he has had too many bad outing at this place already and to be honest he didn't want any more to go badly.

[ShinyDiamond]

Kilik Chambers - Pokemon Center

"Ah so it's Tentou, cool name." Ruby petted Tentou on the head, which made him smile. He was also surprised that she knew what he said. How'd she know anyway? Kilik was still aware of this; she can understand the same as N. "You don't have to try to rawr your name, I can understand pokemon language." That's unusual, but Tentou doesn't mind. He smiled & rawred again.

Ruby & Jack could see something was bothering Kilik. They really shouldn't persuade him. "If there's anything wrong, you can always tell me okay?" replied Ruby.

The question was still out there. They seemed unsure at first though. "Count me in," answered Ruby.

"Where to?" Jack asked, "Its going to get pretty dark soon and we wouldn't want to go somewhere unsafe right?" That part wasn't part of Kilik's idea right now. No matter what, no matter how challenging or dangerous, Kilik will push on through without fear.

"Let's go to the rocky mountains, inside a cave. Their's a certain Pokemon I want to get there," he suggested, scratching his chin. Already he was thinking of what name to call it once he catches a Deino. Tentou hopped back down the couch & scratched his ear. They should really take the offer. If not, who will support him, especiaally when he got that news from his mother?

[silverexorcist]

Julius

As Arti mentioned his hobby of cooking, Julius flinched slightly. He remembered when his mother had attempted to teach him to cook. Well, more specifically, he remembered all the failed attempts he'd made in order to cook. He could prepare natural ingredients easily and even memorized certain recipes. As for the cooking itself, however, it always ended up badly. He didn't know what he was doing wrong--he was so precise. He supposed that he just didn't have the 'soul' most natural chefs put into their cooking.

Julius shook off the feeling as the two asked him about his own hobbies. He had to think about it.

"I don't really have a 'hobby'." He admitted after a moment. "Aside from reading, I guess. I spend most of my time looking through all sorts of books. But I don't really have a talent for anything like cooking or painting. What about you, George?"

[HunterZero]

Gene Kitoshi Location- Deepest depths of the Forest:

As the continued to walk throughout the forest Gene found himself finding no evidence of any suspicious activity, just pokemon minding their own business in their home. This was a bummer, he wanted to find some kind of action before he turned around and headed back to the academy where he'd start teaching. Thought teaching would be fun he wanted to find some Team Rocket before hand. He had heard that some students had come in contact with some Team Rocket members on the island and that the criminal organization might be hiding out around here.

"My Pokeeeemon!" A voice cried out making Gene and company halt in their tracks as they turned around to see a boy come running towards them bumping into Gene's leg and falling down.

"Hey there kido what's all the yelling about?" The blonde haired man asked as he crouched down to the boy's level. He put a smile on his face as did his pokemon to make sure the boy felt safe around them Shellblaster could be a tad intimidating around small kids.

"These bullies took my Axew from me along with some of my other friend's Pokemon!" The child cried as he pointed in the direction of where they ran off too. He stopped crying when Gene placed his hand on his head and ruffled his air a bit.

"Don't worry kid I'll get your Pokemon back from those bullies no worry about it," Gene said as he got up from his crouched position. "Yeah no worries you've got Pokemon trainer legend X coming to save the day there's no way these bad guys will get away with this," He said with a smirk as he gave the kid a thumbs up as he started to walk off toward where the kid had pointed.

After a bit of walking he finally reached a small opening surrounded by trees where he saw three men standing around a bag of pokeballs. "Are you the punks who stole Pokemon from some kids?!" Gene growled as he walked up closer to them. As he said that though more men came from the surrounding area, all of them holding pokeballs. Gene quickly let loose the rest of his Pokemon in preperation for battle.

Calnith Sol NeverWind Location- Swampland:

The battle with the girl over the Skourpi was growing tiresome and Calnith wanted to get it over with so he could go back to the academy as he was getting tired. "I grow tired of this Colossus Rock Slide on Magmar and Shinryu Outrage on Vibrava," Ordered Calnith has he let out a loud yawn which infruriated the girl he was battling.

His Pokemon carried out their orders hitting both of the enemy Pokemon doing critical damage and KOing the both of them in one hit. Calnith wondered at this point if the girl would continue fighting or not. "You know how about you just call it quits it's getting late," The red haired trainer said with a cocky smirk.

"There's no way I'm calling it quits I still have...," She began to say in response as she noticed that she had left two of her Pokemon at home. Without saying anything she cursed as loud as she could and then ran off after returning her Pokemon swearing that she would find him one day.

"Well that was a bit strange," Calnith said as he returned his two Pokemon and picked up the pokeball containing the Skorupi and walked toward the academy.

[Flyborg]

Wess Stacker

Wess was suddenly awoken to a shuffling sensation in his hair; he knew what it was. Sitting up on his bed, he dug into his afro to find a small rambunctious lizard scampering in there. It was by far Franklin's favorite way to wake his trainer up. Wess pulled out the little rascal, holding him out in front of him.

"Okay little guy, what's up?" Wess asked the anxious pokemon.

"Scragg scragg!" exclaimed Franklin, as he pointed to the foot of Wess' bed.

Wess should have considered the possibility of Muddy going out for a walk before sleeping; he was a bit of an insomniac.

"Would you like to help me look for him Frank?"

Franklin would have replied with a gleeful cry, but he was worried sick for his dear friend. The little pokemon thought he was responsible for Muddy's disappearance, thinking the beanbag chair was the straw that broke the numel's back for what he would put up from him. So Franklin only replied with a nod.

Perching atop Wess' head, the two set out, leaving Remedy sawing logs.

Wess' search for Muddy eventually led him to the hallway where the raikou dorms started. He then saw a familiar face: Arti, along with two other boys. Mabye they have seen Muddy?

"Heya Arti, how are you? Have you seen a Quagsire with a mopey look on his face?"

[Arctos]

George Edmunds

"Well I personally would count reading as a hobby. It is something you take great pleasure from doing after all."

George thought for a moment when his own question was turned back on himself.

"Well...I used to do a fair bit back home. I had to help my parents with there research and a lot of that research was field work. Diving is possibly my favourite way of spending my time. I mean scuba not just using pokemon although Aber here loves to come with me."
He smiled at the little pokemon
"Bui Bui" She nodded back at her trainer with a large smile on her face.
"Besides that i used to camp and climb but thats was more out of necessity than much else."
George realised his list was getting rather long and stopped there looking rather sheepish.
As he did so the Academy came into view and they walked towards the main doors.

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

Olivia Wolf - Plains

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...Olivia wasn't that old! Was she?! Regardless, Olivia nodded to Kenshin in acknowledgement, continuing to follow along with seeming interest. "Well, alright! I guess I'll just watch~" She said, before noting it was already getting colder out. She had this sinking feeling that she would be doing a lot of pretending not to be cold this evening. Her fears were confirmed when they finally entered the cave and the temperature notably dropped. She responded after several moments by hugging herself and audibly letting out a shivering breath. Didn't it just figure that this was the place an ice pokemon would be at?

Olivia closed her eyes tightly for a moment in frustration with the cold, before summoning the energy to get over it and keep moving. "It's not too much deeper, right?" She didn't want to catch a cold, or worse. Could you catch a cold from being too cold? As far as she knew, yes.

Alex - ???

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex listened to what Aloin had to say. ...Special attacks? As opposed to normal attacks? What was this guy on about? Was he--Alex just sort blinked, his thoughts momentarily interrupted as Aloin sent out an order. He was mildly surprised that Aloin's gallade happened to have a grass move on him. He watched as the move struck Seismitoad, sending the large pokemon stumbling backwards, where he literally had to move out of the way to avoid being fallen on as it collapsed. Regaining his composure after having dodged the pokemon's fall Alex raised a finger to rub at the side of his head as if confused.

"Whoops..!"

He then quirked a brow at Nika as she took a turn to speak. Seriously? Her too? Well something was clearly up. They were both acting like.... like... Alex abruptly placed his fists on his hips, speaking a humorous tone and turning his head away as if he just couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Man, I almost can't tell if you guys are trying to teach me or make fun of me!~ You've gotta translate this stuff into English for me, because I don't even..."

He held up his hands in a gesture of helplessness, before something seemed to occur to him.

"Uh--Should I send out my next pokemon?"

[Meganium90]

Danielle Accola - Suicune Dorms

As Danielle entered the Suicune Dorm, it felt like this morning as she entered. Lusca and Mark followed after. In the case of Mark, he's never been into the dorms before. He was quite curious to find out for himself. Danielle knows (and has realized) that some Suicuners do take their title too seriously. Maybe what Mark said before is She hoped none of her dormmates would even say anything about who she's bringing in. The dorm lobby had a few Suicuners sitting around, there was also a Raikouer and an Enteier scattered around, so maybe Danielle's alright in bringing in a guest. As Danielle stopped for a sec, she turned to Lusca, explaining to him the Suicune Dorm.

“Well Lusca, you're in the dorms! You might want to ask the dorm manager over there to show you your room. “ Danielle said, “Mine's upstairs. Haven't been there since this...morning?”

Ozzy was pretty impressed with the scenery inside the Suicune Dorm, as this was also the first time he entered with Danielle. He noticed a walking Rattata not too far from him, thinking it may belong to some trainer around the lobby. He managed to get off of Danielle's shoulder and leaped towards the lone Rattata. Danielle did notice, but she shrugged and turned back, thinking it was just one of those curiosity moments he has.

“Also, um...guys.” Danielle said, frowning. “I...wanted to apologize about earlier. I didn't mean to go off on that guy. I know he was sorry for everything, it's just that I...have a weird competitive attitude.” She scratched the back of her head, with her eyes moving around...not making too much eye contact. “Hopefully before classes begin, I can find Lucia and we'll sort things out.”

Megan Sandoval - Academy Main Office

“Hello.” Megan greeted the evening secretary as she entered inside the office with Jake. “This boy over here needs his schedule of classes and since he's new here, he's a bit shy to ask.” She turned to him and smiled. “Do you mind if he can get a printed schedule of his classes?” Leah and Bree came in after, both of them standing right next to the bench.

The office was a bit quiet, and the lady with a straight ponytail was the only one in the office. She was getting ready to leave, but her computer was still on...or at least that's what Megan thought. Megan starts to notice Jake having his hand inside his pockets...he may have something inside. Maybe taking care of a Pokemon of his? Or maybe a lucky charm? She shrugged off. As Jake made a small comment of the office (in which Megan does agree), Megan wanted to break the silence by starting a conversation.

“The school is big, yeah. You'll get used to it once you get settled. There's a lot of students your age” Megan replied, grinning lightly. She turned away to check out the outside window behind her, there was literally no one outside, though she did spot Danielle with two boys, one with no jacket and another a Raikouer, the same one she saw earlier at the Pokemon Center. She assumed they were all going back to the dorms, since it was already late.

“I...uh.” Jake murmured, his shades a bit lowered.

“Hmm?” Megan asked, catching his response.

As the secretary logged into her computer, she clicked on the student info and popped up a window to find a certain student's name. She kept her eye on Jake, as well as the computer screen. “Full name?”

[CrumbledCandyWrapper]

Danielle kindly led Lusca and Mark to the dorms, not too far away from where they just were. Lusca felt kind of ignorant. How was he supposed to know that the dorms were right past the cafeteria hall? But he did have a pretty legitimate excuse. He was new after all, and having Danielle show him around definitely served its purpose. The main lobby was definitely not what Lusca had expected. It surpassed that. There where dozens of Suicuners lining the walls and hallways, in conversations and other debates from what he could tell.

“Well Lusca, you're in the dorms! You might want to ask the dorm manager over there to show you your room." Danielle said with a smile.

"Ah okay thanks." Lusca said. "Your room must be somewhere on this floor?"

"Actually..." she replied. “Mine's upstairs. Haven't been there since this...morning?”

Her last sentence came out as more of a question than an answer. But whatever the case, Lusca knew that there was at least 3 people, Danielle included, that he could come to in case he didn't get adjusted to things too quickly. He looked over to the reception desk, nervous about what to say and how to say it, but the thought quickly fanned itself away. What's the worst you could ask a receptionist without purposely sounding like a complete idiot? He noticed Ozzy jump from Danielle's shoulder as he observed a lone Rattata. Lusca wondered if he was about to attack, but from Danielle's reaction, nothing of the sort would have taken place.

Before Lusca decided to walk up and address the desk clerk, Danielle began to frown and stopped him in his tracks. “I...wanted to apologize about earlier. I didn't mean to go off on that guy. I know he was sorry for everything, it's just that I...have a weird competitive attitude.” She scratched the back of her head, with her eyes moving around...not making too much eye contact. “Hopefully before classes begin, I can find Lucia and we'll sort things out.”

Lusca merely rolled his eyes and walked over to Danielle with a smile. "Don't worry yourself about that, Danielle." he said, hands gesturing as he spoke. "Anyone would've gotten upset so, if anything, you had a right to be! I don't too much care for that kid anyway. In all the commotion, he'd even stopped me from eating before we left!"

Lusca began to laugh at this, but he soon remembered Lucia as well. "I'm not sure if Lucia will be too quick to ignore and forgive what Issac said to her-to all of us really, even Mark. If you do want to see if she's alright, I'd be happy to join you..." He turned to Mark with a smile as well. "You'll come along too, won't you?"

[Megaman765]

Mark finally arrived in the main Dorm Lobby for the Suicuine Dorm rooms. Well it looked a bit nicer then the Raikou dorms that was for sure but he didn't really care for looks. As long as he had a bed and food he was satisfied. Danielle herself apologized herself about the whole thing the same way Mark did. She mentioned how she had a competitive attitude. It reminded Mark of Valorie... he remembered he still needed to get in touch with her soon to say some important stuff.

"Hey don't worry Danielle. It happens to the best of us after all. I'd say you had a pretty justifyable reason for doing it. I'd be pissed too if I didn't have such a calm attitude." Mark said as he sat down on one of the chairs in the Lobby.

"Sure I'll come along. I doubt it'd really go a bad direction but I'll see about making it. I kind of wanna get in contact with someone tommorow." Mark said.

"By the way, do you two have Pokegear or something else along the lines of a phone? We can swap numbers if you like." Mark said as he pulled out a tiny notepad from his pocket and began to write down his Pokegear number twice. He ripped the paper into two and handed the numbers to both Danielle and Lusca.

"Send me a message when you can Danielle. I wouldn't mind hanging out with an old friend more." Mark said happily.

[Mr. Mammoth]

Maxwell Leggingsteele
Oak Town
------------------------------

Maxwell nodded his head at Genevieve's words as they arrived at the parlor. Behind the counter stood a tall and skinny man with a nose resembling a beak and huge bags under his eyes. Underneath the typical hat that the workers at Ice Cream parlors had, some black hair looking like it was covered in mud pointed out. To sum it up, this did not look like the kind of guy that you'd feel safe around. When he saw Maxwell and Genevieve, his face instantly lit up.

"Hello, welcome to Oak Island's finest place for ice cream! May I interest the young couple in something cold and frosty?" he said. Maxwell was surprised, the man's voice seemed genuinely filled with happiness as his introduction was followed by a bright smile.

"U-Um yeah. Actually, I'd like a... A "Chocolatey Super Munch"." Maxwell said.

"Oh! I can see that you are a young man with taste! No one really seems to appreciate that ice cream... It's one of my own creation actually! But everybody says it's "Too sweet..." or "This is the kind of stuff that will make your teeth fall out!". Psh, they can't handle the chocolatey sweetness that is my creation!" the parlor-man exclaimed. After noticing that he'd trailed off in front of not only one, but TWO customers, the parlor-man looked away in an embarassed way for a moment before continuing.
"And how about the young lady? I'm sure that you would like something as well?" he said and looked at Genevieve.

Wilson the Swinub
At the beach??
------------------------------

Well, this was unexpected. Let your stomach steer you and in the next moment you're on some beach, getting attacked by a Skitty. Wilson hit the ground and rolled backwards from the attack. The kitty-like Pokémon had taken him completely by surprise.

[Hey, what was that for?!] the Swinub exclaimed as he rose up on his four paws again. He turned his seemingly closed eyes towards the Skitty in an attempt to glare at her. What jad he done to deserve this kind of treatment? If it was one thing that Wilson despised, it was being hungry and in a bad mood at the same time. And right now, the Swinub wasn't exactly feeling like flowers and cherry pie.

[Meeptasm]

OOC: (Alright, everyone! I'm going to start my adventure and I don't know how I should contribute, so just tell me if I do something that's not really recommended or wise... Other than that, I'm really looking forward to play my part as Nicholas John Kurtz (Meep) and make this story as interesting as I am possibly able to! See you at the Academy! X3)
________________________________________________________

Meep

Meep had finally unpacked all of his luggage and made sure that his furniture and personal knickknacks have been arranged so that they would be convenient to access as well as not get in the way of anything else. He still couldn't believe that this Academy would be his new home as of today, finding it somewhat difficult to adjust to the unfamiliar surroundings.

I wonder if I'll fit in, he began to think to himself. Will I be accepted by the other Suicune Students, or will they just label me as an outcast? Can I make a good first impression without messing up my introduction or making myself look like a weirdo or freak? Will they... Ugh... His head started hurting suddenly, probably from all of the anxiety he was feeling. He decided to rest for a few minutes, but when he turned around, he saw that Heart was bouncing around on the springy mattress, apparently wanting to explore the campus with her master. Meep was about to say something, but instead deeply sighed.

"Alright, Heart. You win. Let's see how comfortable your travel bag really is," Meep said, and the gray Eevee, joy shining in her eyes, immediately hopped down and ran to Meep's bag. As Meep opened it up, she crawled inside, after which her master buckled the cover flap back up. It seemed her tail was unable to fit in the bag along with the rest of her, for it was jutting out from under the cover and hanging over the side. Meep couldn't help but smile at the sight, since this was the first time Heart's ever traveled with him in this manner. Feeling much less anxious about his first day than before, he threw the bag over his shoulder, Heart gazing out from under the flap, and walked out of his room, hesitant about meeting new people, but filled with enough confidence to let him hide his shyness from the public.

[Meganium90]

Danielle Accola - Suicune Dorms

Danielle was okay with both Mark and Lusca accepting her apology...it wasn't much of a big deal, actually. She frowned a bit as Lusca offered to visit Lucia. She knows that Lucia is somewhere in the dorms...but, “I don't know which room Lucia is in, actually. We...met after a random battle, and we kinda, sorta became instant friends after that. She could have at least told me which room is she in to be quite honest.” She sighed a bit, and decided to take Lusca and Mark to the Dorm manager's reception desk, where there was absolutely no one at the time.

In the meantime, Mark got a piece of paper out and a pencil to write his PokeGear number, he wanted to keep in touch with both Danielle and Lusca, especially with Danielle seeing that she's his old friend.

“Well, indeed I do, Mark! Honestly we should totally stay in contact.” She smiled and wrote her number on a piece of random paper laying around the reception desk. It took her no longer than 5 seconds to write down her number twice, one for Mark and one for Lusca. “Here ya go, you two!” She gave the number to both guys. “I'm sure we'll stay in contact while we're in class and stuff.”

As they exchanged numbers, the Dorm Manager, wearing professional clothing as well as a Suicune Jacket sat down on his desk chair and faced the three trainer students with a smile. He had a cup of coffee on the desk, Danielle assumed he works at the night shift while the students go to sleep. “Hello! May I help you three?”

“Hi, um..” Danielle started, “He's new to the school and just arrived. Do you mind showing him to his dorm?”

“I'll have to pull up his name and exam scores to see if he's a Suicuner alright.” The Dorm Manager got his clipboard and checked on the long list of “new Suicuners” on his clipboard. It had a lot of pages...meaning a lot more students were taken in alongside Danielle and Lucia. He then faced Lusca, locking his eyesight on him. “May I please have your name sir?”

((OOC - CCW, you have the option to take over the Dorm Manager since it's an NPC or you can just wait for me to post again. lol))

((OOC: I'll take over for some of the first part of his speech, lol. Then I guess you can finish it off once I tell him what Lusca's name is ...))

"By the way, do you two have Pokegear or something else along the lines of a phone? We can swap numbers if you like." Mark said as he pulled out a tiny notepad from his pocket and began to write down his Pokegear number twice. He ripped the paper into two and handed the numbers to both Danielle and Lusca.

"Absolutely!" Lusca said happily as he took the numbers of both Mark's and Danielle's PokeGear. "That'd be great if we all kept in touch, thanks!" It took him a second, but he soon realized something. "Oh! I suppose you'll both be needing my own as well..."

They all walked over to the reception desk, where Danielle and hiself wrote down their numbers and handed them out respectively.

"Call or text when you like, I'm sure I'll probably be doing the same to you two until I finally get settled into this place."

He laughed it off quickly as they all noticed the man coming over to sit at the reception desk. He took a long, breathless sip of what smelled like coffee, sighing heavily after he'd finished a gulp. After placing the cup down on the shelf behind the counter, he expectantly looked at the three students in front of him. Mark received a longer look of suspicion, but it quickly passed as he spike to the Suicuners looking back at him.

“Hello! May I help you three?” he said with a warm, coffee tinted smile.

Danielle spoke up first, Lusca a bit taken aback by the grime of the workers toothy grin.

"Hi, um..” she started as she gestured towards Lusca, “He's new to the school and just arrived. Do you mind showing him to his dorm?”

He looked suspicioisly at Lusca, who shyly waved in return. “I'll have to pull up his name and his exam scores to see if he's a Suicuner, alright?" He asked while typing away at a hidden computer. He pulled up a screen and then switched to a clipboard, eying Lusca and his new friends as he spoke.

His intense gaze then locked onto Lusca's, making him tense up a bit. Lusca could almost see the receptionist give a sly smirk before addressing him. "May I please have your name, sir?"

"Oh ...uh... Lusca, sir. My name's Lusca Alec Maloii ..."

Mark took the piece of paper with her Pokegear number and immediately started to input it into his own Pokegear. Well he had another friend to keep in good contact with. Wonderful. Mark stood along with the other two Suicuner's. For a second, he was a bit jealous that they got this kind of treatment. Something so fancy and all. It certainly didn't encourage equality. Infact, if Mark didn't have a cool mind about it, He'd almost be jealious that his old friend made it into such an upper class dorm, and he wasn't satisfied with his last battle either. He didn't even consider it a proper victory, so he still wasn't satisfied. The next time he battled though, he'd be fully prepared with a great strategy to boot.

He had some serious thinking to do tommorow, heck he'd probobly give the TM store another look. He could also rely on the internet or something along those lines for advise. Commodore had Trick Room, now was a matter of making it more effective overall.

Since the others were busy checking in, Mark took some time to message a friend of his. He decided to send a message to Valorie, since he's wanted to talk to her for awhile after all. He input the message into his Pokegear...

Hey Val! Its Mark! How are thing with you? Holding up alright?

...and sent it over to her. He hoped to possibly arrange a time to hang out with her. Its been awhile and all. What he seriously wanted to do was train with her. Deep down Mark truely admired Valorie and mostly wanted to be able to go toe to toe with her. He had a feeling she was one of the strongest students in the school so to be able to out match her would be a huge achievement.

Danielle Accola - Suicune Dorms

“Lusca Alec Maloii”

As Lusca said his full name to the Dorm Manager, he skimmed through his clipboard, turning each page, and looking for the last names start with M. Until a minute later, he finally found his name. “Ah, there you are. Lusca Maloii it is.” The Dorm Manager had his thumb on his name, and eyed Lusca. “You are in here, alright. You are in room 31, which is downstairs in the back.”

Danielle inputed Mark's number in her PokeGear. She then realized one thing: She never called her uncle. She was so excited to begin exploring the Academy as well as around the island. She eyed the number, tempted to call...she decided to call him before going to bed tonight.

“Let me show you to your room then, Lusca.” The Dorm Manager grabbed his keys and jumped over the reception desk, impressing Danielle and creeping out Ozzy...who was returning from his interaction with a Rattata. He hids behind Danielle, shaking with fear. “Follow me then!”

“Lusca, do you need us to come with you? Or will you be alright?” Danielle asked.
