Pokemon School First Week!

[fallers_npcs]

It's the opening of the Pokemon School Year, and there's lots to do! Today, on the 26th of August, people are preparing for the first week of classes. The new curriculum has been prepared, with Sciences, Math, higher education, general education, adult learning, Battle Studies, Professional Studies and other fields of study available to the students.

With the newcomers, arrivals at the school have taken up residency at the school and have taken up teaching positions. You can find them, much to Ash Ketchum's surprise, delight, and otherwise shock as he knows many of their faces.


Brock Is interning his Pokemon Doctor studies and will be TA-ing this year with Pokemon Breeder studies under the supervision of Nurse Joy.

Misty has been asked to come and teach courses on Water Pokemon and Aquatic studies. She and Lana has been hard at work putting this together.

Olivia will be teaching Pokemon Religion of the various regions. This includes the creation stories, as well as the various smaller stories, Pokemon studies into the Reverse World and others.

Gary has arrived fashionably late to annoy Ash and teach a course on Battling and Pokemon Raising.

May has arrived to teach a course on Pokemon Contests, a new thing that might just be implemented later into the year for fun and excitement.

Burnet will be teaching the adult sciences and Professor-level courses.

Cynthia is taking a year off her Champion duties to teach this year, and will be teaching a course on Pokemon League Business and companies and how to get yourself instilled into the Pokemon world as a company.

And finally, Courtney the former Team Magma Admin will be teaching for the first time in this year, focusing on the main aspects of inter dimensional space and legendary Pokemon.

Of course, mind you, you are not required to take all of these courses, but taking some of these courses are highly recommended!

That being said, please mingle around. Classes start on Monday!

[Wandering! (Students and Teachers Both!)]

Mnhhh...

[Reira has a lot of new things. She has nice new clothes. She has a new little bag, with pencils and books. And, more importantly-]

Okie-dokie -zzrt! You made it! Classes don't start for a little bit though -zzrt, so you should use that time to get familiar..!

[Familiar...

Reira nods, even though she somewhat nervously holds onto the backpack strap. The hallways feel wide and spacious. The classrooms feel strange and unfamiliar. It is both like the school her brother had, and yet not, and she's rather visibly anxious.

Ooof.]

[What the- (SECRET BASE)]

[There was a room, with no one in it. She found it while exploring.

There was a button, behind the chalkboard. It was a little oversensitive, because when she poked it, it pressed down.

And then there was a hole and a suit and also, um.

...hm.

Where is this.

She's upside-down....]

You're going to love school, [said Sophocles, as he caught up to Reira.] How're you feeling with the new things?

[He was grinning from ear to ear.] I'll teach you everything you need to know.

[soft_focus]

Umnhhh... [Well, if he says she'll like it, he's Probably right at least. He's been right about a lot of what's actually enjoyable.] It's a lot, but...it's okay I guess. Most of the new things are 'nice' things, and people explain them, so...it's not the same as when things were new at home, [she decides, nodding slowly.]

...'ve never seen a school that wasn't for dueling though...

[fallers_npcs]

You'll find that this school has a long history, going back 20 years now! [Exclaimed Sophocles.]

There's plenty to do, from field trips, to Pokebase games, to Pokegolf games, all sorts of things!

[soft_focus]

[Woahhhhhh...

....]

...What's 'base' and 'golf'...

[NO !!!]

[fallers_npcs]

PokeBase is short for Pokemon Baseball! It's a game where you play it with teams that hit a ball with a stick called a bat, and you run bases around a diamond. It's a lot more involved than that.

PokeGolf is when you hit a ball into a small hole. That's the easy part. The real challenge is actually getting the ball into the hole in the fewest swings.

Mnhh....

[So much of this is going over her head...] ...I'll learn about those in here..?

[All she can ask...]

[fallers_npcs]

Yeah, and then there's science, math, languages, all sorts of things. It's real fun.

[soft_focus]

Science, math...

[wait]

...But we already speak a language...

[Why do they need lessons on that!]

[fallers_npcs]

Oh you don't know. Each region has its own extra regional dialect. The people of Alola have Alolan, the people of Kalos have Kalosian, Unovian, Kantonese... etc.

We'll be studying at least one language, but we'll have a broad grasp of idea of what languages are spoken.

[soft_focus]

...What's a dialect...

[YAH LOST HER]

[fallers_npcs]

You don't know other languages? What did you speak before you came to Alola?

[soft_focus]

Ummmmm....

[Heck if she knows what that shit was called,]

[fallers_npcs]

You don't know what you were speaking before this?

[Oh dear.]

[soft_focus]

I didn't know there was a name for it...

[fallers_npcs]

Oh, well that makes a problem then. Hmm...

I'm honestly stumped.

[soft_focus]

It's probably okay.

[Probably?] ...Maybe someone else will know?
