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!

Kaiba hated the idea. He'd tested out of high school for two reasons: one, to run his company, and two, to escape the company of fellow high schoolers. But there were many factors to consider in this situation, and it was best for him if he at least appeared cooperative. He was found in all science and business courses, seated in the back and scribbling notes as fast as his hand allowed.

lunch

At lunch he sat alone...well, not quite alone. He allowed his Pokémon out of their balls to eat as long as they behaved themselves, and for the most part they did. Goomy sat on his lap, Kisara the Pikachu on his shoulder, and Happiny on the bench beside him, chirping at passersby. He kept hold of her...as the baby, she had a tendency to wander off.

study time

Already he had a sizable pile of homework. Not that he was averse to hard work, but...oh, it was going to be a long week. The library was too busy, so he could be found sprawled out on the grass with his books. He'd started composing an essay, only to sneeze on the paper. Whoops.

Pokemon Science was one of the classes that Zuzu was taking, mostly out of the concern for her Pokemon. She was making certain that she could keep up with the field of study, and in between classes, she was going over her notes. It was simple enough, for a start since this was introductory stuff, but there was a lot to go by!

Pokemon Science seemed simple on the outset -- battling types, 18 different types, abilities, but then you started getting into the physics of powers in the latter half of the course, how psychic types and ghost types worked, and there was talk about some nitty gritty thing called IV Training that only the most militant trainers ever subjected their Pokemon to for the most advanced raising. It was enough to make her head spin.

So when she saw Kaiba, she smiled during a break, brushing a weary look from her face. "How are you holding up?"

[blue_ice]

Kaiba was surprised to see her here, to say the least. He'd neatly drawn symbols to illustrate his notes. The complex interactions of battle types would be daunting, but something simple enough to master eventually. He'd noted the advanced techniques as well...possibly for later, once a grounded relationship was established.

"Fine. It's difficult when you have no previous knowledge base, but the first days are for establishing that. And yourself?"

[melodiouspun]

"It's kind of like Dueling when it comes down to it. It's a battle system, but that's only the basic fundamentals on the most rudimentary understanding." replied Zuzu.

"It's... kind of like it's own thing, like actual science from our world, mixing in with everything normal about Pokemon here. Like how a Glaceon can be a Flareon with a different Elemental Stone, or how much force a Charizard's Mega Punch can produce on average. Like you said, I'm glad they're giving us actual basics to how their physics and science works first."

"But I think I'm getting a handle on it."

[blue_ice]

Kaiba glanced over his notes to make sure he'd covered all of that, then nodded. "Planning on becoming a trainer yourself?"

[melodiouspun]

"I might. There's still a lot of things I want to try first, before I decide, but I want to get a good handle on everything I can first." said Zuzu, reaching down and ruffling Popplio's fur.

[blue_ice]

"Mm. Mine have the potential, if that's what they want, but I need to know what I'm getting into."

Goomy responds with a happy cry and nuzzles his leg. He reaches down to rub her, carefully wiping the slime off. It's just his life now.

"It's more complex than I expected, but...mm, I think we'll be fine."

[melodiouspun]

"It definitely is, and it's not about numbers either," replied Zuzu. "From the way the Battle Course was telling me, it's about heart and soul too. I'm getting that there's more to battling than I expected, even like Pokemon Science."
