A certain muscular red-haired man sat behind his desk in the newly built Gym Leader Academy. He let out a sigh. Just sitting and doing paperwork was nothing for ex-Champion Alder. Though, he also was excited in a way. His future students would come any time now.

He grinned as he stood up from his desk. There was a time when he thought travelling the world was his greatest joy. However, as the years passed, his interest faded more and more. He spent his time teaching kids about Pokémon in Flocessy Town. That was where he found his true passion. Passing on his knowledge to the newer generation. Teaching them how to become trainers like he once was. Maybe even better.

He went to stand in front of the window, and looked out over the schoolyard. His eyes suddenly widened, and a huge grin appeared on his face. The cellphone was taken out of his pocket so quickly that it almost dropped to the ground.

"Yes, Bianca?" Alder shouted excitedly, "The first students have arrived! The first students have arri-!" He stopped, listening to the person he was calling, "Yes, you're right... Anyway, call up on Lucas, and give them a warm welcome!" He paused again for a moment. "Yes... Yes! Thank you, Bianca!"

Happier than he was before, he went to sit in his desk chair, grinning widely. Finally it started. Finally.

A blonde-haired boy dressed in a cape waited impatiently outside. "What is taking them so long?" Marius ranted, "We have been told to be here at 3:00 PM, right?"

"Vol! Beat!" his Volbeat, nodded. He was flying around the young boy's head, but apparently got tired of that, and went to sit on his trainer's head.

"Come on, Veerus!" Marius cried out, "You know I do not like that! My hair is going to get all messy!" Veerus let out a buzzing sound, as if he was laughing at the futile attempts of his trainer to shake him off.

 

[Frontier Master]

Jake was one of the first to arrive at the academy atop his uncles skarmony
"Thanks for the lif raven, now I think you should start the trip back to sinnoh even without me on your back it could still take two or three hours" said jake as he dismounted the steel flying type
"Skarmonny" replied the Pokemon taking off once more
"Come on scar lets go get signed in" yelled jake enthusiastically

"Hey it was went to open at 3:00 right?" Said jake asking a blonde caped boy nearby, at first glance one would consider jake to be a fighting type user his entire body was toned and tanned and his partner was a riolu but upon closer inspection one would discover he is really a steel type user, he wore goggles on his head for when he was welding or smithing along with heat resistant pants and a jacket.
"Oh sorry how rude of me I'm jake from canalave city in sinnoh and one day I wanna become the greatest steel type gym leader of them all

 

[Bidoof]

Marius had finally managed to get Veerus off his head, when he was approached by a boy with a Riolu. He introduced himself as Jake, an aspiring Steel-type leader. "Ugh, Steel..." Marius sighed, waving his hand at the boy, "They seem so lumpy to me. I prefer the elegance and beauty of Bug-type Pokémon myself! My name is Marius Sawyer from Verdanturf Town in Hoenn! Future Bug-type master and coordinator!"

"Vol Volbeat!" Veerus buzzed softly, concealing himself behind his trainer.

"Ah, yes," Marius nodded, "And this is Veerus, my long-time partner. Say hello, Veerus!"

"Vol..." the Volbeat shook his head shyly, earning himself a sigh from his trainer.

"Anyway," Marius quickly continued, "I see you got yourself a Riolu! If I recall correctly, a Riolu is not a Steel-type Pokémon, correct?"

 

[Frontier Master]

"Are you see that's where we have our differences when I look at steel types i see power, precision and control. While bug types have always seemed a little flimsy to me of course there are exceptions yanmega, scizor and durant I have a big repected for anyone who can take the time to properly train any Pokemon so if bugs are your thing all power to you. And for your other question riolu is a pure fighting type however it evolves into lucario which is a steel fighting type" said jake responding to Marius' questions

 

[GokuPT99]

Tyson Arrive At The Academy Feeling Really Excited.
"Ah! How Cool Is It! This Place Looks Awesome! Right, Sansho?" Tyson Asked Sansho. "Sni..." Sansho Didn't Agree With Tyson. "Oh Well... Lets Go Sign Up!... Uh..." Tyson Started To Look Around. "Sni-Vy!" Sansho Face-palmed. "Sorry! I Just... Don't Know Were To Sign Up! I Always Get Lost!" Tyson Said To Sansho. "Sni-Vy..." Sansho Said.

 

[Frontier Master]

"Hi I'm jake, I'm a steel type user and judging by te snivy your grass right, wow grass steel one if the best type combos ever but don't we all hate fire types

 

[GokuPT99]

"Oh, Hi! I'm Tyson! And Yup, I'm Grass! And Right, We Should Hate Grass Types! But, I Actually Like Fire Types!" Tyson Replied. "Sni..." Sansho Said In A Bad Tune. "Is Just Opinion! Ok Sansho? Anyways... Oh, You Have A Riolu Because Lucario Evolves Into A Fighting/Steel Type! Good Choice! He Even Has A Mega Evolution!" Tyson Said Admiring The Riolu. "SNI-VY!!!" Snivy Shouted To Tyson. "Oh! Right! Thanks Sansho! Hey Jake, Do You Know Were I Can Sign Up?" Tyson Asked.

 

[Bidoof]

"I do!" Marius butted in, flicking his cape, "We were supposed to wait here for Mr. Alder's assistants, but they haven't showed up yet!" He puffed his cheeks in impatience.

"Anyhow, you use Grass-type Pokémon? Quite interesting. Tell me, what are your thoughts on the Pokémon Leavanny?"

"Vol..." Veerus softly nudged Marius's leg.

"Oh, of course!" Marius cried out, facepalming, "Where are my manners? My name is Marius. Bug-type Pokémon are my speciality. In both battling and coordinating." He grinned widely. "And this is Veerus, my Volbeat!"

 

[Softty]

As the students began to gather, a young girl pulled up the collar of her white jacket. She had shortly cropped hair, and cold, powder blue eyes that stared at the school entrance with earnest. The students began to acquaint themselves as they waited, however the girl was patient. She stood still within the crowd, standing out with her strikingly pale features.

 

[GokuPT99]

"Hello Marius! I'm Tyson! Nice Volbeat You Have There! He Reminds You Of Things!" Tyson Got Interrupted. "Sni!" Snivy Said With A Mad Face. "Yeah, I Know You Remind Me Of Things Too! Anyways, Nice To Meet Ya! And Leavanny Is Cool,BTW, See What You Did There Bug/Grass! Anyways, Leavanny Is Really Good! But His x4 Weakness To Fire Is Ridiculous!" Tyson Answered.

 

[Bidoof]

"Mmmm, it is!" Marius nodded, "However, Leavanny looks really elegant and serene to me. Perfect for someone like me!" He took a pose, grinning widely at his own act.

Then Marius noticed a girl standing there. Her skin was so pale, he wondered whether she was even healthy. He quickly stepped away from Jake and Tyson to face the girl.

"Hey, uh," he started, "Is your skin always this pale?"

"Beat..." Veerus buzzed. The Bug-type had followed his trainer, and put his head in his hands after Marius's crude remark. The boy probably wouldn't even have noticed that he may have been rude.

 

[Softty]

Slightly startled by his approach, the girl's pale eyes flickered towards the boy. Eyeing him and his Volbeat, she looked as if she were a small pokemon trapped in a corner.
"Oh, well.." She whispered, glancing past the boy as if she were looking for open escape routes. It was quite a rude question, and she really should have been offended.
"There isn't much sun at home."

 

[GokuPT99]

"Huh?" Tyson Looked At The Girl. "Thats Ultimate Pale!" Tyson Said Shocked. "She Looks Like She's Starving Or Something!" Tyson Said. "Sni-Vy.." Snivy Put A Here We Go Face. Tyson Ran To The Girl. "Hey, Nice To Meet Ya! My Name Is Tyson! And... I Wanted To Ask You... Why Are You So Pale? You Can't Be Compared With Paper!" Tyson Started Talking. "SNI-VY!!! SNI! SNI!" Snivy Tried To Stop Tyson But He Couldn't. "Are You Feeling Ok?" Tyson Asked.

 

[Softty]

(omg LOL, I meant her hair and eyes, not just her complexion.)
The girl took a good look at the second boy who approached her. Tilting her head, she rose her cold hand under his chin and gently rose his head upwards.
"Yes, I'm fine." She said, and though it didn't reach her eyes, she smiled softly; visibly finding her composure. "But do be careful, your words are rather rude."
Dropping her hand, she politely nodded towards the two boys, and looked towards the school entrance. Her complexion was often talked about, but never to such an extent. Though she appeared calm and composed, their comments had hurt.

 

[GokuPT99]

"SNIVY!!!" Snivy Looked At Tyson With A Mad Face. "Ok Sashon... Sorry For Been Rude, How Do You Think I'll React? Anyways," Tyson Said. "Sni-Vy..." Snivy Sighed With A Face That Completely Tells That His Apologize Was Awful. "Whats Your Name? And Whats Your Type? Just Been Curious." Tyson Asked Smiling. "BTW, I'm Grass Type If You Didn't Noticed Already!" Tyson Said. "Sni-Sni-Vy..!" Snivy Says Trying To Tell Tyson That What He Said Was Obvious.

 

[Frontier Master]

" guys give the girl some space" said jake dragging the two males away from her "I'm jake btw steel type specialist its nice to meet you, I'm guessing either ice or ghost judging by your comments about little sun where your from

 

[Bidoof]

(OOC: Oh, damn. Sorry Softty. That's my bad.)

"Hey... Hey!" Marius grumbled as Jake dragged him away, "Can it?" He pulled away from the Steel-type master in spe, and went to stand in front of the girl again. "I apologize if I was rude, but I was just concerned about your well-being." He bowed slightly but graciously in front of her, his cape flapping in the wind. "My name is Marius. Future Bug-type master and contest star."

"Vee Vol Beat..." Veerus softly buzzed on his trainer's shoulder.

"Shut up, Veerus," Marius whispered back, "And this is Veerus, my Volbeat!" he then exclaimed.

 

[Softty]

The girl smiled a little warily as the grass trainer half heartedly apologized. "Oh, my name is-"
Before she could finish, Jake had dragged the boy away from her. Slightly surprised, the girl blinked, and she nodded. "Yes.." She said, partially amazed at how he was able to guess so easily. "I've raised ice type Pokemon all my life, however I hope to lead a ghost type gym."
As the bug type trainer pulled away from Jake, the girl's brows rose, becoming a little flustered as he bowed.
"Oh, no it's alright. Thank you for your concern."
The girl seemed to relax a bit, and smiled a little naturally. "It's nice to meet you all. My names Skylar," from her pocket she pulled out a pokeball, releasing a litwick in the palm of her hand, "and this is Tory."

 

[Frontier Master]

"How cute here meet scar" said jake releasing riolu from its pokeball "the little guy was a present from my dad its the only know Almia riolu found outside the temple of ice, so yeah I have a big appreciation for ice types"
'Hi I'm riolu but you can call me scar' said the riolu telepathically to both trainers and Pokemon alike

 

[GokuPT99]

"Huh, A Ghost Type! How Cool Is That! Sansho Introduce Yourself!" Tyson Said. "Sni..." Snivy Took A Memo From Tyson's Bag That Had Wrote In It "My Real Name Is Sensho, You Know That" "Oh, From When Did You Learn How To Write?" Tyson Asked Him. Snivy Sighed Without Saying A Word. "Ok, I'll Introduce You Then, This Is Sansho! My Snivy! Wait, Isn't Litwick Ghost And Fire? Awesome!!!" Tyson Said Admiring The Litwick. Snivy With A Serious Face, Gave A Hand To The Litwick, Like If He Was Introducing Himself Or Something. "Sni-Vy!"

 

[Lord Of Pain]

Mean while in the shadows, a boy as watching the other kids, "should we go introduce ourselves toxic?" He asked an ekans, who replied by nodding, moments later victor was standing next to the others, "hi I'm victor, Victor hexen" he looked at the others and continued "I'm going to be the future poison type master and maybe run my grate grate grandfather's gym, who knows?"

 

[GokuPT99]

"Hello Victor! What About Vector! Purum! Piss!" Tyson Said Laughing. Snivy Face-Palmed. "Get It? Poison Type? Vector? No..? Well Then... My Name Is Tyson! I'm The Grass Type, If You Couldn't Noticed By The Snivy! Hm... Right! You Are Supper Effective Against Me!" Tyson Said. "This Is Sanshon! My Snivy!" Tyson Said. "Sni-Sni.." Snivy Sighed, But He Put A Little Smirk Because He Didn't Want To Look Rude.

 

[EspeonTheBest]

((I think I've changed my mind, Minti should come later. I contemplated using Snorunt to Froslass, but I can't stand Snorunt. I'll edit my posts in the sign-ups after this))

"I'm around 87.6% percent sure we're in the right place Aurora. But that 13.4 other percent is making me wonder if we in fact are not in the right place." A girl stood within the crowds in heavy clothing that consisted of an ice blue sweater underneath a black sleeveless jumper that reached just above mid-thigh. There was a red pint of a Pokeball near the end of the skirt and a small yellow waist-bag hung right above. She had tall white boots on with socks made of the same material as her sweater poking right above the top of the footwear.

A tall blue Pokemon stood next to her and let out a happy "Amau!~" in response to the girl's prediction. Aurora was quite tall; all things considered, she is an Amaura after all. The large pre-historic ice type nudged her trainer playfully with her head, accidently knocking the poor gym trainee over. "Aurora!" She squeaked before catching herself with her hands. Her application certificate fluttered to the ground and she quickly picked it up. On the front the name Lumikiki was shown along with all her other information. The girl quickly stuffed the papers safely away and patter her Amaura on the neck.

 

[GokuPT99]

"Ah! How Cool Is That? Sansho? I'm So Excited!" Tyson Said Smiling. "Sni-Vy" Snivy Said With A "I Know" Face. "So We Have Got, Ghost, Grass, Steel And Bug, I Can't Guess What's Going To Come Next!" Tyson Said With A Smile On His Face. "Sni, Sni-Vy-Vy! Vyyy! Vy-Vy!" Snivy Started Acting Like If He Got Hit By A Sledgehammer. "Hm?" Tyson Said Confused. Snivy Started Acting Like If He Was Becoming Super Saiyan. "Super?" Tyson Asked. Snivy Nodded. Snivy Started Doing A Super Effective Sound. "Oh, A Type Is Super Effective Against Us? Probably! Maybe An Ice Type, Fire Type, Who Knows?" Tyson Said.

 

[Kanako Yasaka]

"...This must be the place, its a lot bigger than I thought." The girl walks by the students hearing their conversations. "It would be rude of me to not introduce myself to my fellow comrades, but i'm not use to talking with people my age..." She mumbled to herself.

 

[Bidoof]

"Oh my gosh!" a blonde woman cried out, walking out of the school building, "I never expected so many students to be here!"

A young man exited right after her, and rolled his eyes. "Bianca, you know that Mr. Alder has invited about 200 students, right?" He narrowed his eyes. "I only see around 100 to 150 students, though. I guess there are some that haven't got here yet."

"Oh, oh!" Bianca cheered, "Lucas, I think we have to give our visitors a proper welcome!" She ran off to stand on a platform, so that she could see most of the students. Bianca then took out a microphone. "Hello and welcome, everyone!" she shouted in the microphone loudly.

Lucas sighed. He walked over to Bianca and snatched the microphone from her, earning a "Hey!" from the girl. "Welcome to the newly opened Gym Leader Academy, here in Strega," Lucas began, "You all have been handpicked by principal Alder personally. I presume that all of you already know how the academy works. You should, if you read the notes we sent you carefully."

"Don't be so cold, Lucas!" Bianca hissed in his ear. Lucas ignored his colleague.

"However, you shouldn't know what the school looks like yet. That's why the two of us will be giving you a tour through the building in two separate groups. One group will go with Bianca, the other with me, Lucas." He turned to Bianca. "Please give me the list with the groups Mr. Alder has made.

"Okay, ummm..." Bianca stuck her hands in her pockets, "Not here... This isn't the thing either... Oh wait! Oh, nope..."

Lucas sighed again, this time louder. This was going to be a long day.

 

[Frontier Master]

Jake now stood at the front of the crowd which had amassed near the school gates 'look scar there's 18 training areas and everything I say after the tour we hit the steel and fighting areas for some first day training' thought jake telepathically to the Pokemon now resting in the pokeball on his belt
"Um excuse me is this the note!" Yelled jake as he picked up a scrap of paper which had blown toward him

 

[GokuPT99]

Tyson Stared At Bianca And Lucas Like If They Were His Idols. "Sni.." Snivy Sighed Giving Tyson A Slap On The Face. "When Did You Learn Double-Slap?" Tyson Asked Sanshon. "..." Snivy Face-Palmed With A "You Serious?" Face. "I'm So Pumped!!! I Want To Start NOW!!!" Tyson Yelled Excitedly. "Sni-Vy" Snivy Sitted On Tyson's Arm, Waiting Patiently.
