Shade looked over after helping the children cope with their nausea. She smiled and agreed to tag along, mainly because she was bored, and she didn't want Gar scaring the rest of the kids before school even started. She led the way into the school, the place looking almost like a castle at first, with spires shooting up out of towers on the corners. The castle was huge, but something seemed odd about it. It gave off a strange kind of light, like ones you usually see from neon or fluorescent bulbs.
As Shade and her Pokemon pass through the tall, intricately adorned gate, opened for all who may enter, she could see the many glowing etchings decorating the castle. This castle was by no means from medieval times. It looked like it jumped straight from the pages of a sci-fi novel. Some of the spires are even floating! Shade smirked and chuckled, wondering what kind of person would ever make such a masterpiece as this, but it has its perks, she'll give it that.
All around the neatly cut grass of the grounds are pink teleporters with holograms with descriptions and the names of the locations they teleport one to. There was even a lake on the left of the island near the walkway with some Water-Types occupying the waters. She saw a few Taillow and Wingull play with each other above the grounds, swooping and diving to hit each other in what looked to be like a game of tag or chase. There was some sand near the lake, acting as some sort of shore for some Water-Types, like Krabby and Corphish. To the right, there was a large tent covering what seemed to be a desert biome. The tent was there to make a greenhouse effect to keep it the same temperature as the desert. There are dehumidifiers to keep the desert dry and arid. As Shade got closer to the immense castle, she could see a slight forest behind the lake she saw earlier with a few Bug-Types eating the leaves off the branches of the trees, peacefully munching on their supper, as Scythers flew by them in search of ripe berries to eat. Hoothoots were visible on the branches, sleeping peacefully and yet still ticking to the time flowing. Past the forest was a jungle, which was harder to see, since the forest was slightly obscuring the bases of the trees. Although, one could see the treetops above the forest and vines hanging off, with the elemental monkeys from the Unova Region, Aipoms, Slakoths, Vigoroths, and even a Snivy darting to and fro on the branches. Well, in the Slakoths' case it's sleeping. As she got even closer to the castle, she could smell the pungent odor of the swamp nearby.
The castle had floating torches for lights, and they rose from the ground as soon as someone approached them. Shade liked to poke one to see it bobble to and fro before electromagnetism rearranges it in the correct orientation. She felt so giddy coming back to this place, as it was a geek's dream come true. Well, if the geek's dream entailed going into a super-high-tech castle with state-of-the-art technology that not a lot of people could get their hands on. She walked up to the giant, daintily decorated double doors and pushed them open, not needing so much energy to push them open, since they were on electromagnetic railings. The doors flew open and stuck to the walls with a little bang, the shock absorbers taking the blow before stabilizing the doors to remain open.
In front of Shade was a long, arched hallway with the arched ceiling reflecting galaxies outside of their world onto themselves, revealing magnificent displays of stars, super novas, new-born galaxies, and even the occasional comet or two. Shade walked on forward and the hallway expanded into a wide room with stairs on either side and a door ahead. This door, about as massive as the entrance, led to the mess hall. Long tables, four in a neat row, with green teleporting plates that teleport food from the kitchen, sit there and await the students who will be attending. The ceiling had the same reflection of the galaxy as the hallway leading to it did, and it had mini-suns lighting the room.
To the left in the intersection was a large window, letting in the light from outside and illuminate the otherwise dimly-lit intersection, and a staircase going up, then taking a turn to go above the door that led them to the intersection. The right side was similar, but with a door to the kitchen. This door was still massive, but it didn't have any markings on it except for a riddle written in Unown. Only Shade knew the answer at the moment because she could read it, and it was a funny, easy question.
She turned around and saw the staircases go above the door that led her to the lobby room, and then cross over with a little platform, following the wall as they go up. Then they spiral upwards, following the wall as closely as possible. Upstairs is where all the classrooms were found. The only ones that weren't found up there were ones that needed to be in a cold, dungeon-like room, that were up those stairs, then taking the first door on the left (Shade's left right now) and then following the pathway until you see another set of stairs leading down.
She then realized how much of a maze this was, and felt horrible for the kids entering. She then looked at Flint and his Pokemon to see his reaction, now noticing Snug's apparent discomfort with their way of travel.
