Skye was suprised to see the new trainer enter her classroom, sitting a few desks away. She hadn't even realized she had the same first class as he did. It was then that she scolded herself. He deserved as much attention as she paid everyone else. It was so strange how people tended to try to ignore those who were different...

Snapping her head up as Professor Leen called on her, Skye realized she had not been paying much attention. Instead of sinking into her chair with embarassment, she looked down at her notes. Professor Leen repeated the question.

"Well, what would you do if you were faced with a Geodude with just your Pikachu in the wild?" she demanded, pushing her thick glasses up on her nose.

"I'd run," Skye told her, half-earnestly. "But if I couldn't get out of the situation, I'd probably use normal attacks. Or I'd throw some water on it."

Professor Leen looked at her strangely. Her expression was a mixture of suprise and disgust.

"That's not the answer from your reading," Professor Leen said calmly, and walked away.

Skye looked over at Agile, smiling slightly. She was sure it would have worked had they actually been in the situation. After all, you couldn't learn everything there was to know about Pokemon from a book.
 
"Ahem" Dex said loudly to Professor Leen. "I have the answer you are looking for."

"oh really?" Professor Leen said with scheptacism.

"If meeting a wild Geodude with only a Pikachu on your side, the only thing that could have been done in the past to prepare for such an encounter is to teach the Pikachu the move Iron Tail." he said calmly, arms folded.
 
OOC: Whoa… Skye DIDN'T get attacked by Dex! **Applauds** Haha, kidding! Kidding!… **hides behind rock**…

Ali jumped to the grand hall, and walked through one of the doors, which lead him to his first class, Communications with Professor Marigold. Ali happily took a seat near the window against the far wall, looking outside at random moments. The class was talking about physical communication with pokemon-things like body language, and touching. Ali remembered hearing something similar to what they were currently talking about in one of his breeding classes. One of his aunts in Verdanturf owned a breeding center, and Ali had volunteered there over the summer, gaining much knowledge of breeding. He continued to listen to Professor Marigold, waiting for his next class to begin.
 
Resting her head on her hand, her elbow on her desk, Skye glanced over at the new trainer as he gave his answer. Being from Kanto, and never journeying to Jhoto or Hoenn before in her life, she knew little about the new moves and discoveries. Iron tail...of course...

Rolling her eyes, she returned to paying attention to Professor Leen. Agile shifted uncomfortably in her lap, a little tense. Skye pet Agile absently, trying to calm her down while still listening to the lecture.

She was happy when the class was finally over. Grabbing her books, she headed off to her next class...

They flew by effortlessly. Mythology was the discussion of some fossils and their origins. Professor Payne said they might take a trip to see an ancient Pokemon resurrected in a lab.

Kanto geography was dull as usual, but Skye knew she would need it for her own Pokemon journey. She handed in the map of Mt. Moon she had prepared for class, hoping she did well.

Evolution studies was interesting. They studied the evolution of a Pokemon using different stones, and Agile seemed keen on getting her hands on a thunderstone. Skye was skeptical, but she promised they they could look into it.

Finally, it was time for lunch. She and Agile walked down to the cafeteria, ordered a salad and a smoothie, as well as Agile's prized bottle of catsup, and sat down at a table. Skye munched on her salad, wondering if the new trainer would take up on her offer...
 
Dex seemingly emerged behind her, the chill that seemed to follow him would have been alert enough for anyone he was standing behind.

"Ahem...Is this table taken, or has the offer yet to expire?" Dex said emotionlessly as Merlin took a seat, he decided to do so as well. he sat there, doing anything in his power not to stare at Skye, thinking it rude, he was a little uncomfortable with this situation.
 
Ali quickly sprinted to Breeding methods, just across the hall with Princess by his side, as soon as the bell rang. Today they were given no assignments, instead they were discussing baby pokemon throughout the whole class. Ali was a bit disappointed to hear the average time it takes to evolve a baby pokemon, as was Princess. Being the only student in the class with a baby pokemon, Princess was often put on the spotlight, demonstrating the power of manipulative attacks like charm, and sweet kiss. After the bell had rang again, Ali walked down to the Lunch room, waiting for Fitness and Travel to begin in good time. Seeing Skye sitting with Dex, he began to ponder if she really did like him… Or maybe she just managed to be a bit more friendly with him. Either way, Ali didn't want to invade their privacy. Somehow he didn't understand himself though, ,if Nat was sitting with Skye, he would've gladly sat with them… Maybe he just felt uncomfortable around Dex? Despite it all, he walked in, grabbed an order of fries and a salad, and walked out, taking a seat on the closest flight of stairs, looking out the window as he awaited Nat and Anna to come down.
 
"Of course you can sit here," Skye said cheerily. "Why would my offer expire?"

Skye took another bite of her salad as Agile gulped down her catsup. Skye pet Agile on the head, scratching her ears affectionately. She noticed the new trainer averting his eyes. Was he nervous?

"I didn't catch your name before..." she said softly, trying to start a conversation.
 
OOC: I post one thing, now I'm confused >.< oh well >.<
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Anna walked down the steps to see Ali sitting there.
"Hey Ali!", Anna said happily, seeing as she had cheered up. She walked down and took a seat next to Ali. "Got something on your mind?", she asked.
Leo trotted down the stairs after Anna, and had seemed to be running.
"ESPEON ESP PEON?!?!?", Leo screeched to his trainer.
"Sorry Leo... I wanted to see my friend," Anna said trying to send a hint to the psychic pokemon.
Leo shook his head and recalled himself to his pokeball.
 
"...Dex...its Dex" he said then turned to Merlin who was busy eating poke-pellets noisely.

"..Father, not in front of her please..." he said, then realised what he had said and tried to change the conversation.

"Sorry about that..fath...I mean, my pokemon has something to learn in the way of manners Miss...?" he said not knowing her name yet either
 
"Skye," she told him politely, and looked at his Kadabra. "I hope you won't think me rude, but your Kadabra...he seems....older than you..."

She noticed how he looked when he called the Kadabra "father" seemingly by mistake, so she decided to change the subject. Agile had finished her bottle of catsup, and was now busy downing Skye's smoothie.

"You're gonna get fat, Ag..." Skye told her, jokingly. She looked over at Dex. "Where are you from?"
 
Dex smirked at Agile's antics and the replied

"Yes he is older than me, by quite a large way I'd say, how exactly old are you fa...Merlin, if you don't mind us asking."

The Kadabra turned to face him and Dex nodded and turned back to Skye

"209 years old as of last week." Dex said seriously, "but he doesnt look a day over 150, in my opinion, an Abra and its evolutions live quite a long time, you get used to it when your raised by them an.." Dex suddenly stopped, doing the expressional equivalent of putting his hand over his mouth, Merlin went Wide eyed and gave Dex a fatherly "you told her!" sort of Scowl.
 
Ali looked up at Anna,

"It looks like Skye managed to make friends with Dex… I didn't think it was possible really…" Ali looked down the stairs to see them having what looked to be, an interesting conversation.

"It looks like they are doing fine, I haven't heard any smashing glasses yet!" Ali told Anna, knowing she'd know he was kidding.
 
"Raised by Kadabra?" she asked softly. She had to admit that she was suprised, but it wasn't kind to treat him any differently. She smiled. "It's all right. I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to. Your secret is safe with me."

Agile had now downed Skye's smoothie. Skye rolled her eyes, and Agile hiccuped.

"I'm from Celadon," she ventured, hoping Dex wasn't disgruntled about sitting with her. "I live with my mom in an apartment in the city, near the department store. I've had Agile since I was little. My dad found her when I was a baby, and we've been together ever since!"
 
Anna giggled.
"Well we'll be ready if anything like that happens," she laughed smiling. She brushed away her blonde hair from her face and quickly pulled it up with the hair tie from her wrist to keep it out of the way.
"So what's up with you?", she asked keeping her smile.
 
"the place I can even remotely call home is Cerulean, thats where the forest is where I was abandoned, Merlin was still an abra at the time, and decided to take me in, being the dominant of the group, no-one argued with him, and I grew up with the abras, you learn a lot of interesting things when you get raised by them." He said, shifting his hand and the Salt shaker on the table slided on its own accord down the table into the waiting hand.

"Like unlocking the psychic parts of any mind for one" he continued "well I grew up and after a while, the Abras took me to the city, they gave me a false history with the help of a little "Psychic history re-arrangement" with the people who keep records on people, if you know what I mean, I went through a normallish education, normal that is until Id go home everyday to a forest in a hollowed out tree where the entire Abra group lived, but you learn to love it...and eventually, I came here..."

He noticed the look on Merlins face.

"Father, She already knows, I might as well tell her the whole story." he said seriously.

after a few moments of psychic talking between the two of them, Merlin nodded and seemed to relax a little.

"Fathers...a little anxious, but neither us can sense any dis-honesty in your mind, and my fathers senses are a lot stronger than mine." He said uncomfortably.
"I think ive said enough about myself... you and your pokemon Agile seem very close, Its always important to be close with your pokemon, why dont you tell me more about you and Agile?"
 
"Wow..." Skye said, after Dex had finished telling her about his life. She had never imagined... Snapping out of it, she tried her best to fill Dex in on Agile and herself. "I was really little when my dad brought home Agile. We gre up together, ever since she was a Pichu. She evolved on my tenth birthday, when i was supposed to go out on my Pokemon journey...but..."

She paused. Why should she tell him? For all she knew, she'd probably burst into tears, and he certainly didn't seem like the kind of person who wanted to deal with that. Clearing her throat, and deciding to press on, she continued.

"My dad got really sick just before my birthday," she told him sadly. "He died a few months after I turned ten, and my mother couldn't afford to send me off on a Pokemon journey, what with my dad in the hospital and stuff. I stayed home, with Agile, and we grew really close. She never left my side through the whole thing, even when my dad died."

She cleared her throat once more, her eyes distant, looking longingly for something lost, something she could never have again. There were no tears this time however, just a lonely hope.

"After my father died, we had to sell the house. We once lived on the outskirts of Celadon, a place you could really see the sky. I had a big back yard, endless fields of grass, forests, everything. We used to sit on the porch in the summer, watching the sun disappear...but we had to sell the house and move into the city, where it was less expensive to live. My mom and I have lived there ever since...well, until I came here anyway. I miss her a lot sometimes..."

She stopped once more, remembering that Dex didn't have a mother, not a human one anyway.

"I'm sorry. It must sound stupid to you to hear me complain about it," she told Dex, trying to smile. Agile curled up on her lap, sensing Skye's sadness. Skye scruffed her ears gently. "What are your plans after you graduate from here?"
 
"Dex suddenly placed a hand on Skye's shoulder in a display of sympathy, it seemed to suprise him too, he looked a bit wide eyed at his hand, a pulled it away again.

"Im sorry, I never meant to... I have only the deepest sympathies about your family... Merlin is my only family, as Agile is yours, we have more in common than I Orginally thought..." he stopped as Merlin looked at him then he seemed a little happier.
"Really? I didnt think the Scyther were migrating from Cerulean for another month, whats with the rush?" he said, Merlin nodded at him and after a while Dex said "Ah I see, those Sychter always were in it only for the food, they must be halfway to Pewter by now..." he noticed Skye and realised he wouldnt know what he was talking about. "Im sorry, Merlin just delieverd a message to me from the Abras back home, were all kind of linked that way, keeps me updated on current events."
 
"You must have a really strong connection with those Abra," Skye said, still suprised by his display of sympathy. She smiled, unable to keep a light pink from creeping into her cheeks. She looked away. "It must have been quite an experience, living with them."

She smiled at Merlin, hoping that he would accept herself and Agile as friends instead of foes. He must be very protective of Dex since he brought him up from childhood. She glanced down at her watch, not taking notice of the time until that moment.

"Oh wow...I've got to get to class. Want to meet up for dinner? We could go into town if you're sick of the cafeteria food," she asked hopefully, gathering her books.
 
OOC: Okay Anna and Ali asked me to re-join XD so i guess i shall!

Cloud woke up from bed, he was 14, he was in a t-shirt and in his boxers, his hair was blonde, and it was scroungy. Cloud got out of the shower later that morning, his hair was very spikey. He slipped on his head band and put his goggles over the head band, he wore a double shirt unbuttoned with a white t shirt under it, he also usually wore shorts.

Cloud saw an envolope at the bottom of his door, he opened it and read it "I made it? I MADE IT!!!" Cloud said happily as he releasead his Charmander, Torch "Hey bud, we made it!" Cloud said as he patted Torch, Torch was happy as well because he shot a a few embers at Cloud "Ouch! hey watch where you shooting that!" Cloud yelled as he opened the door and walked out into the hall.
 
"Dinner? why...why of course, Yes of course, Im not scheduled for another class until after then though, so i shall probably go and train with Merlin, Im trying to get him to Evolve again tomorrow, and I have a theory on just how to do it."

With this he stood up, and held out a hand to help Skye out of her seat, and just for fun, made a few books float from the table into her hands.

"I will see you at dinner then." he said calmly and walked off, Merlin following.

"Your getting emotionally attached to her i see..." Merlin thought into Dex's head

"Father please, Sooner or later we have to grow up...." Dex thought back to make sure no-one would hear either side of the conversation.

"well, Ill strike a bargain, I Evolve today, and I wont care if you get emotionally attached to her? deal?" Merlin thought to him

"Deal...and Father, the term your looking for is...Love..." he thought quietly, and continued on down the hall
