Pokemon School First Week!

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!

Nadeshiko came in to check out what was being offered. She and Nagihiko would have to decide which classes they were each taking, so that they wouldn't be enrolled in the same ones. Breeder studies might work well for Nagihiko. And he might find Water types interesting as well. She'd just as soon skip that. She could take religions, though that was also more his sort of thing. Battling would be hers if either of them bothered with that one. She was very much up for contests, though she suspected they might have to fight it out for that. She should consider the business one? Maybe? She wasn't sure.

Nadeshiko was in her new pretty sundress, head tilted to one side, posture otherwise perfect as she studied the offerings, seeming thoughtful. Well, there were no dance classes, that was both good and bad, because it meant she and her brother had no competition, but it also meant that they had less chance to learn new dances. What to do... hmmm....

"Does anyone know if there are times posted anywhere, so we don't take conflicting classes?" she asked whoever happened to be nearby. "I'd hate for two of mine to have an overlap."

"School? Seriously?" Utau muttered, looking at the posted schedule. "And not even a single performing arts class?"

For those who could see the charas - small kids under the age of 4, those with strong ties to magic or souls, other Chara Bearers - The angel would be visible, bouncing around excitedly, while the devil chara was sulking in the dark and lace egg dangling off the back of Utau's belt.

"You'd need a time machine to attend them all," Kaiba grumbled, poking at a posted schedule. He made a few marks next to his priorities for now (business and science), then passed it over.

"Here. See if you can figure this mess out."

"Sure, thank you!" she said going over it. "And a time machine would be helpful for school in general, not just here. Especially with my brother and I running the dance studio at the same time!" Bright smile.

"What are you talking about? I am teaching the performance arts course," replied May, who was walking by with her things of school supplies for her office.

"I'm teaching everyone about Contests, and the performance arts of Hoenn. I have a great assistant that I met a while ago, she'll be here in a week."

She rolled her eyes. "Not Pokemon performing, US performing," she said, eyes narrowed.

"Taking center stage is all well and good, but in this world you need to focus on letting your Pokemon work with you in tandem," replied May as a large Blaziken walked out of her office to take her things from her.

"Thank you Blaziken! Now then. I take it you're a performer back home. Here, we work with Pokemon on a regular basis. That's all well and good, but taking center stage won't get you very far in this world. People have a symbiotic relationship with Pokemon, and it will get you a deeper and fuller experience if you sit in on one of my lessons."

"I have lived my whole life to sing," she said, eyes narrowing further. "I have worked hard enough not to be upstaged by stupid pet tricks!"

"Stupid Pet Tricks?" Okay that's offensive. "Contests are not stupid pet tricks! You have never seen a Contest or a Showcase before, and you call yourself a performer?"

"Yeah, that would be the part where I'm not from this world," she said dryly. "I can also outperform anyone any time, anywhere."

"In your world, sure, maybe. But this isn't your world. Contests, Showcases, it's a whole new world and you've yet to explore or embrace any of it." replied May, folding her arms.

"If you're not going to take the course that's fine with me, but don't look down on hard-working people and Pokemon just because you think you're on the top."

"How about I prove it, then?" she asked, eyes flashing with challenge, a grin hinting on her face.

May sighed. "You can try to prove it... WHEN courses start. As it stands, you've been arguing with a teacher, and as such, I have power over your grades. Don't think that I'm just going to be impressed and fall at your feet. If you think you can outshine someone without a Pokemon in a Pokemon-based Contest, by yourself, then you're doing that on your own time."

May folded her arms. "Pokemon Contests and Pokemon Showcases and the like aren't about showing off the individual solo talent of the person, but of people and Pokemon working together. With an attitude centered around you and you alone, you're not going to get very far at all. By all means, take my course. But you'll need a Pokemon Partner to proceed with the actual coursework."

She looked at her empty vacant side. "And looks to me like you don't have a Partner."

She shook her head. "That presumes I'm taking your class. And the contest I'm proposing is a concert, me against your best pokemon singing act."

She had eggs, that might have been pokemon or might have been charas. She was unsure which.

"Contests aren't about singing, unless you have a Pokemon who is skilled in that." replied May.

She frowned. "Look, you can argue all you want here, but the issue remains is that you're issuing a challenge, on school property, during school hours, when I have a class to prepare for. If you're not going to be signing up for the class, I'm afraid we'll have to decline the challenge. Blaziken and I aren't interested in seeing who is the best at singing, or proving to you who is the best here and now. We're here to teach a class."

May gathered her things in the hall and picked it up. "I hope you understand," she added before saying, "I hope your Pokemon actually understands what kind of person you can be deep down. Because you won't get far on that self-centered attitude. Good day miss."

And she left the hallway, Blaziken following behind as she headed towards her office.

She shook her head, disgusted. With this school, with this place, with that person. She just wanted to sing. She wanted to sing and she wanted Ikuto to be safe and to love her. Those things were what she wanted more than anything else in the world. Why did her dreams always have to take a back seat to everyone else's priorities?

Zuzu was checking out several classes, having signed up and preparing for the school day.

She was definitely interested in the contests from May and her new mysterious TA that was due there in a week. And her and Popplio were prepared to learn everything they could about the performances of the regions.

And it was here that they were also taking courses such as the Pokemon Religion from Olivia, to not be ignorant of Alola's traditions, Gary's battling class, some of Cynthia's business classes if she wanted to open a Pokemon Branch of You Show, and Brock for Pokemon First Aid. It was tough, but doable.

She was approachable at any point in the day.

Sena happens to be looking over the schedule at the same time Zuzu is, but he's also intent on discussing options with his...Pokemon?...at the same time. Shell's just chilling out at his shoulder while he sounds out the merits of different classes, but...

"Ahaha...you don't really have much of an opinion, do you..."

"..."

Sorry, Sena. Eldritch ghost bugs just be like that. He chuckles sheepishly and glances over at the girl next to him.

"There's a lot to choose from, huh?"

"Looks like it," said Zuzu absently from her side of the school board. She then noticed Sena and smiled at him. "Alola," she said. "Are you enrolling too? I'm Zuzu Boyle."

Popplio warked at Shell, waving his flippers at em.

"Alola!" He tilts his head at his Shedinja in lieu of an introduction. "I'm Sena Kobayakawa, and that's Shell...I was thinking about enrolling since I'm attending college back home. It'd help with some sense of normalcy, anyway..."

At least so he doesn't spend his time training aimlessly 24/7. It sometimes got like that during the breaks. Oops.

"College huh? That's a long time away for me," said Zuzu wistfully. "Good luck with that. There seems to be a lot of good classes here after all."

"I kind of want to focus on these Contests. They sound like a lot of fun, and it reminds me of what I was doing back home."

"Contests, huh?" Sena scratches his chin thoughtfully. "If they're anything like the ones that I saw in Sinnoh, then they're going to be really interesting - although they might be different since the types of Leagues I know are different too..."

He shrugs a little helplessly. "I'm mostly an athlete, though - " really? He doesn't look it, honestly - "so I'm thinking about looking at that Gary person's classes. I've always trained my Pokemon using the football techniques from home, so I'd like to see how that matches up to what professional trainers do!"

"Yeah, the person in charge of the class said she's from Hoenn, although she said her TA is from Kalos, and they have Showcases there. I'm real excited to see what they have."

She nodded. "I may try for that too. Popplio and I might not be the best battlers, but it never hurts to be prepared you know? Considering what I've been through, I'd rather be prepared to be a strong battler."

"What you've been through...?" Sena's a little curious, but he's never been one to pry. Still, he can understand that feeling.

"It's frustrating, when you're not strong enough, huh?"
