Ben hazily opened his eyes. The sun was shining through the window of his single directly onto his face. His Cranidos, Domer, and Rockruff, Lady were cuddled up next to him. On the floor was his Alolan Sandshrew, Puck. He yawned and stretched his arms as he glanced at the clock. And with that a sudden weight crashed onto him. It was 8:15. He was late.
Cursing he flung his comforter off, waking up Domer and Lady. Domer rolled off the bed, while Lady gracefully leaped to the ground. Puck looked up curiously as Ben threw on his shirt (inside-out) and struggled with a pair of jeans.
"This is still your fault Domes! If it we'd gone to bed early like I wanted, there's no way this would've happened." Domer looked away guiltily as Ben pulled the three back into their balls. The entire lot of them were still adjusting from Alola time. They'd simply been fortunate that none of the earlier events had taken place before noon.
Ben grabbed a pair of flip flops, and threw them in his bag. There was no way he'd be sprinting in those. Luckily, he was fairly in shape. He loudly crashed through the second floor running to the stairs and leaped down four steps at a time. The moving sidewalks would certainly help his mad dash to making a bad first impression. He sprinted down one, turning onto another. Ben's stomach rumbled. No breakfast and an early morning sprint probably weren't helping. The building was a few hundred metres ahead. As he stepped off the last sidewalk he threw a pokeball in the air, "Puck! Use ice ball!" Midair, Puck fired a stream of ice balls. Puck landed on his belly in front of Ben, who pushed off then hopped onto Puck's back. As they slid forward, Puck periodically shot off more patches of ice for them to glide on. A few metres short of the front door, Ben hopped back off, "Good job! Return!" And Puck returned to his ball.
The brief ride had at least allowed Ben to regain his breath. He bounded up the stairs and stopped right before the classroom door. He slowly cracked the door and tried to slip into the classroom right as he heard, "Now does anyone have any questions?"
