So I know this is a weird concept, but a Yugioh GX RP on YouTube inspired me, and I decided that I really like the concept of how the school works at Yugioh GX. So, what if I took the concept, and applied it to the Pokemon Universe?
Backstory:
In the Unova Region, it's main claim to fame in competitive Pokemon battling is the Battle Academy, a large island off the coast of Unova. Donated to public use by it's owner, who was once the second best Pokemon battler in the world, it was transformed into the most prestigious school for promising Pokemon trainers. In the school, there are three ranks, according to skill.
First is Reshiram Red. They wear Red variations of the school uniform, and are the lowest rank in the school. They have the worst dorms and facilities.
Next is Zekrom Yellow. They wear Yellow variations of the school uniform, and are the medium rank. They have decent dorms and facilities.
Finally, there is Kyurem Blue. They wear a dark blue variation of the school uniform, and are the best of the best. They have insanely expensive dorms and facilities.
However, it doesn't always work out as intended. See, it is heavily rumoured that the owner was also a part of Team Plasma in their prime, explaining the ranking system. N used Reshiram, and was seen as a traitor to Plasma, while Ghetsis used Kyurem, the Pokemon the top rank was named after. The bias doesn't stop there. Although the ranks are intended to operate on Skill, it doesn't always work out that way. Kyurem Blue has become full of mostly rich kids, paying money to get in and obtain the best Pokemon. Meanwhile, Reshiram Red sometimes contains good, decent or even great trainers, who just happened to get in some trouble or anger the wrong teacher. Due to the reputation, the kids up at
Kyurem Blue often bully the lower rank students, especially the Reshiram's, often with the famous phrase of "third-rate Reshirams" (my version of Slifer Slackers from Yugioh Gx). This has caused a hatred for the Kyurem Blue kids, and a heated rivalry with the Reshirams. You have got into this school, somehow, whether it was a tournament, legacy, a scholarship, scouting or just straight up paying, and are currently on a cruiseship, going to the large island from Castelia City. And it's just about to arrive. As a beginning Trainer, you will most likely have one Pokemon, that may be evolved once in the case of more experienced trainers. There will be opportunity to catch more on the island, but pokeballs are in short supply there and field trips are very rare for lower ranks. Two large Tournaments are about to take place, to decide the winning rank by a league format. This has always been won by the Kyurem Blue's.
The Island has the main area, with a large turning road that can take you to all three dorms (although they are very spaced out with trees and harsh forests blocking them from each other, as a way to avoid vandalism). There is the wilderness, which is supposed to be off limits, where stories of abandoned dorms and electric fences are told, and rumours of rare Pokemon, hidden Ice Caves underneath the ground and a long inactive small volcano. The pokeball shop exists, along with the classrooms and canteen, in the main building in the centre of the dorm path (whenever new pokeball shipments are brought in, they are often gone instantly).
To conclude, here is a short description of the dorms. Also, important note: girls are all Kyurem Blue, as they are the only dorm with enough private funding to have a girls dorm built. It is possible to move-up ranks during the year.
Reshiram Red- A grey and brown dorm with a red roof, has two floors accessible from stairs along the front. Is said as being a little more like a bunch of connected sheds than a dorm, with a small and cramped cafe on the side. It is on the East from the main building, and the sea is visible from there. The dorms all have bunk beds. However, some Reshirams sneak in items to liven their dorms up, and there is a strong sense of camaraderie between the Reshirams, having a bit more of a joking attitude between each other due to their bad situation. Most aren't even bad trainers, and are there because of other reasons. They are often bullied by the Kyurem Blue's, and have gathered a strong hatred for them due to their inability to do anything about it. They are the most likely to break rules, but are also the most likely to get punished for everything.
Zekrom Yellow- A grey dorm with a yellow roof, it's exactly what you'd expect from a dorm and it's facilities, with a mess hall and single rooms. It is on the west of the main building, being nearer to the dangerous forests, but teachers believe they are the least likely to cause any trouble. They are all solid trainers, and it is seen as the dorm of nerds, loners, eccentrics and also the really average Trainers. By extent, it is seen as the most boring dorm, mediocre and not very fun. However, teachers mostly leave them to their own devices, thinking they're the 'safe kids' and due to the positioning of their dorm could cause some serious trouble if they really tried. They are looked down on by the Blue's, but are quite chill with the Red's, and are mostly ignored in the colour war.
Kyurem Blue-
Hot tubs. Personalised rooms. Pets. A huge dining hall. Marble walls. North location, around the peaceful forests. Gardens and orachards, a small lake in the gardens. Two huge floors, with the dining hall taking up the entirety of the bottom floor. The rooms are on the left and right wings of the top floor, with a living room in the middle, containing a comfy fireplace and comfortable seats. Even a goddamn Helipad. The Kyurem Blue dorms are basically perfect. The other dorms don't respect them, some hate them, but they always seem to come out on top. They break the rules only to spite those below them, and can often have it ignored by teachers. Most are rich kids with legacy parents, and expensive, rare Pokemon. They often bully the Reshiram Reds, calling them the famous and hated phrase "second-rate Reshirams", and despite being powerful trainers there are not many trainers left there with actual proper skill. Kyurem Blue was what most trainers here dreamed of as kids, but any honest trainer who got in there would soon have their dreams crushed by the harsh reality of who they would have to be hanging around with.
Enough context, into the bios.

Backstory:
Born in Littleroot Town in Hoenn, Isaac was given his Beldum by his father, after coming back from a trip to an important observatory. His father was a Pokemon scientist, but Isaac always wanted to go to the Battle Academy he heard so much about from his friends. It was his dream to get into Kyurem Blue, and he always watched the entirety of the adverts when they appeared on TV. After coming in third at an entrance tournament at Mauville city, he was enroled, and hurriedly took a flight to Castelia City in Unova to get the boat there. He was amazed, having never left Littleroot Town, and knows there's so much more for him to see. He thinks he has a safe place in Zekrom Yellow, and looks up to the Kyurem Blue's, but he's about to have his bubble burst when he reaches the academy.

Backstory:
Isaac sat on the boat, in his normal clothes. He could see the island as they neared docking. He started to get excited, looking as far as he could out the window. As the boat started to dock at the South port of the Academy, he saw the Kyurem Blue dorm, far in the north past the main building. The huge marble building had a dark blue roof, the stone glimmering majestically in the light. There was a slight shaking of the boat as it docked, and he started lining up to leave. He got off, letting Beldum out of it's ball and seeing the teacher, Mr. Cruff. Beldum started to back around, scared by all the people and Pokemon. He walked up to one of the booths, with an assistant occupying it. This was where the ranks were handed out and orientation was sorted. The man looked bored already. "Name." He groaned. "Isaac Willo. I'm pretty sure I'm a solid Zekrom Yellow, IF NOT Kyurem Blue." The man still seemed not to care at all. As the man started to stamp some papers, Beldum was long lost in the crowd, accidentally reversing into somebody. Panicking, Beldum turned it's eye towards it, and instinctively used Iron Head. The teacher fell over, getting up and staring down angrily at the Pokemon. Beldum retreated to Isaac, attracting his attention, absolutely terrified. "What's wrong boy?" He turned to see the dark blue coat wearing teacher, who was obviously wearing a toupee, his face distorting in anger. Isaac looked around sheepishly. "Uhhh... I'll just get back to... uh... what I was doing." He looked down to the man, hoping to be ignored by everyone. The man finished, grabbing a yellow stamp, about to stamp the paper. He spoke, as if he had said it many times before. "Isaac Willo. Zekrom Yello..." Just before he finished and made the stamp, a shriekingly high voice disrupted him. "RESHIRAM RED!" The man looked up, clearly annoyed he had to deal with THIS again. Isaac looked around to the teacher, surprised. "Uh, what?" The man shrieked again. "RESHIRAM RED!" "Yeah, you said that before..." The man walked up, angered. "THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE! RESHIRAM RED! RESHIIIIRAAM!" He seemed to be going completely mad in anger, shrieking so hard that his ears hurt. "Really?" He turned around to see the man had made the stamp. "Sorry pal. That's just your luck." He handed him the paper. Isaac took it up, struggling to believe it. He sighed, taking it and continuing over to the pack of other Reshiram Red's for orientation.
