Private/Closed Kyogre Lake Academy (Discussion/Character Creation)

Do we think we could probably do a timeskip after the day is over? Like, we have the time to explore, then we all go to Battle Strategies class, and then head back to the dorms? We should skip the dinner sequence this time.
Yeah, agreed. The question is to when? I was thinking halloween but it could be a little early for that

@DopeLeafeon470 Sorry for the tag, but just to check what kind of areas there are on the island? I know theres a forest but I think I missed this kinda thing being mentioned in the discussion before
I think the island was 1/4 beach, 1/4 rocky mountain area, and 1/2 forest. I could be getting it backwards but I think it was those three
 
@DopeLeafeon470 I think a months time would be good. Just to see how far everyone has come and how weve settled into classrooms. This can also be when Hanzo begins tryouts for the battle tournament team that can take place over Thanksgiving break where we have a huge tournament against Groudon Canyon Academy.
(Not connected to my plot idea I just still think the two schools rivalry would be cool and that in a pokemon school there would be like a sports team that battles against other schools best trainers.)
and it could become like a sports festival type arc after this timeskip where over the fall break the schools hold a bunch of different events
(Things that come to mind: Monday Pokeathalon, Tuesday Contest, Wednesday each school puts on a pokemon musical, Friday is the day of the battle tournament)

Yeah, that sounds good

My plan for him is that im going to delve more into Dom's initial reluctance to join the academy. His dad (when he was younger) used to battle a lot and was well on his way to 100 consecutive wins until he was brutally defeated by a Dragon Buster who ends up being Ron's Dad who actually witnessed the battle when it happened and recognizes Dom's dads fighting spirit in him. The reason Dom was a bit reluctant is that after the incident with Lycanroc he became somewhat insecure about his true strength but the village elder tells him that she thinks he should go to the academy anyway. When Dom realizes who he is he becomes extra determined to defeat him and I want this to be the first battle where Dom successfully uses Splintered Stormshards
 
Also, is this day just going to be another free day or do we actually have some classes? I wasn't planning on posting until a hypothetical Battle Stratagies Class but if its just a free day I'll probably have to wait a bit before my next post

Magnezone would mess up this team, Pelipper is 4x weak to Electric, the rest are weak to Steel.
 
What about pokemon caught within the timeskip? Like do we just say, oh and during the timeskip I caught a pikachu or whatever, or should we hold off on catching until after, I'm fine with either or, or if someone else has an idea. I had an idea for Dom of catching a pokemon in the forest and then later down the line, getting one from the professor of the health class as sort of a final semester exam to train and nurse back to health, but I'm fine with doing it after the skip.

It depends on how important you want the encounter to be for that character. If you think it's worth showing then maybe do it after the skip or maybe have a flashback sequence to during the skip
