Chapter One - A New Hero Emerges?

It was a bright day in the Johto Region...with the weather being warmer then usual; the sun peered into the window of a brick colored house. A young girl with brunette hair was asleep snoring on her bed. The rays of the sun hit her face and she opened her eyes slowly. She rubbed her eyes and turned to the calendar located above her wardrobe. It was a special day today because it was the day that the young brunette Akina transfered into PokeTrainer Highschool. "What time is it..." she asked as she looked over at the clock. Her eyes grew large. "7:30? Oh shit! I'm gonna be late!" she shouted as she jumped out of her bed. She ran around the room. "Uniform! Where's my uniform? I could of sworn I left it here!" She kept searching but couldn't find it anywhere. Akina sprinted down the stairs and shouted, "Green-chan! Have you seen my uniform-"then looked down to see a note on the table that read:

Akina,

I headed to school early today because of some student council buisness I had to take care of. Your uniform is on the ironing board.

I don't want you embarrassing me so please dont be late like always. Class starts at 8:15!

Love,

Green

.

She made a face. "Embarrass? Why that-" She looked up at the ironing board and saw her uniform neatly folded; she smiled and picked it up. "Well at least she cleaned it for me." then quickly ran back upstairs and changed into the uniform.

Akina was born in the town of Pallet in the Kanto Region and lived there with her father, mother, and sister, Green. As a young girl, Green was kidnapped by a legendary bird pokemon and was raised by the Masked Man. Heartbroken, Akina and her parents were then forced to move to the Johto region. Green eventually escaped, and then traveled the region in hopes of becoming a Pokemon Master. After Team Rocket was defeated by a young Trainer named Red, along with a famous pokemon professor's grandson named Blue, Green decided to attend PokeTrainer Highschool in Johto. The two sisters eventually reunite and soon after, Green's friends Red and Blue attend the same school. She is now in her fourth year, while Akina is starting her second year. Green was the third runner up in the Pokemon League Tournament and is also on the Student Council Commitee at the high school. She's known throughout Kanto as being one of the three Pokedex holders.

Akina finally managed to get into her school uniform. "Hey! I look pretty good in this!" she said grinning as she looked into the mirror. "Time to just add a few finishing touches." She tied her hair into her usual ponytail, and unbuttoned the first button of her uniform shirt, "Perfect!" she said giving a thumbs up. She looked back at the clock. "7:50? Damn! I'm definetly gonna be late!" She grabbed her school bag and jetted out the door.

As she was walking out, a tan looking boy with jet black hair appeared walking down the street. He looked over at Akina. "Yo Akina!" the boy shouted as he walked toward her. "About to be late on the first day of school? Typical Akina, eh?" Akina made a face. "First of all Hideki-san, I'm not late because the walk is only 5 minutes from here, then 5 minutes to get to homeroom, so I should be okay!" replied Akina. "But thanks!" she said sarcastically. He rolled his eyes.

Hideki also attended PokeTrainer Highschool, and was in his second year just like Akina. The two knew each other since they were younger kids and are also neighbors. Hideki and Akina are both very stubborn but are very ambitious so the two seem to clash at times.

"Well since we ran into each other we might as well walk together, right?" Hideki said pushing her foward. "Hey-uh-wait!" Akina tried to get her words in but it was no use since Hideki was much stronger than she was.

They continued to walk down the street together. "Hideki-san! Can you believe it! I'm finally going to be attending PokeTrainer HighSchool with you and Green-chan!" Akina said smiling. "And since I'm in my second year I'll finally be able to get my first pokemon and start raising it! Then I'll become a Pokemon Master!" she clenched her hand into a fist.

Green and Hideki were the two people that inspired Akina to begin her dream of becoming a Pokemon Master. When she was younger, Akina and Hideki had made a bet that one day, when they got their pokemon, they would battle each other. Hideki was always teasing her about how she needed to be "tough" to be able to raise pokemon, so Akina was always determined to show Hideki how tough she was.

"Akina you have to relax!"said Hideki patting her shoulder. "You can only truely become a Pokemon Master when you go on your own journey, and to do that, you need to graduate! And remember that you're transfering, so you're pretty much already a whole year behind!" he continued then smirked. Akina put her arms up behind her head, "Hideki-san, I remember a certain D student panicking about flunking his first year of Trainer school." she said quickly. Hideki frowned. "Yeah well, I passed didn't I?" he replied. Akina laughed. "Yeah yeah yeah!"

They both arrived at the school. It was a large white building with many windows. Akina looked at the huge clock in the center of the building, "See ! With minutes to spare!" she said giving a thumbs up. Hideki sighed.

Meanwhile a group of boys were standing nearby. Among them was a boy with dark black hair and bright yellow eyes. He had a black and yellow hat with a pair of goggles attached. "Alright Gold, incoming victims." said one of the boys. Gold looked over and saw a group of girls passing in front of them. "Watch this." he said smirking. He pulled out a billard cue and a small red ball. He launched it and it zipped past the group of girls, with the breeze almost lifting their skirts. They screamed. The boys laughed. "Damnit! So close!" the boy replied. "Dont worry next time!" reassured Gold.

Just then Akina and Hideki entered the gates. The boys looked over and spotted them but their eyes drawn to Akina. Gold caught eye of her as well. "Woah!" he said blushing. "She's really cute! I've never seen her before she has to be a first year!" The rest of the boys grinned."Hey Gold, I bet if you try your trick again it will be amazing!" suggested another one of the boys. Gold agreeing, pulled the ball out of his pocket. "Definetly." He said winking as he set up the ball and began to launch it once more.

It headed for Akina. Hideki shouted, "Akina look ou-". But before he could finish his sentence Akina caught eye on the ball and caught it with her right hand. "WHAT?" the boys said in unison with shocked expressions on their faces. Akina studied the ball and looked up toward the boys. They fled scared. Gold looked back, "Man! She's something else!" he said to the boys as they ran off.

"What the hell was that?" Hideki said, also with a shocked expression. "Beats me..." Akina replied. Her eyes were drawn to a large board with several lists posted on it. The title read, Classroom Lists. "Hey Hideki, is that where we get our room assignments?" she asked. Hideki grinned and shook his head. "Obviously, Akina. Geez, you're such a rookie at this!" he replied as he walked over to the board. Akina pouted and followed.

"All you have to do is look for your name and it tells you your class number." he said as he scanned the lists. Akina searched for her name as well. "Hey here it is!" she said pointing at the list. "Class 2-B! And Hideki you're in-" Hideki crossed his arms. "Class 2-B, right?" he replied confidently. Akina paused. "Class 2-C!" she corrected waving her finger. "What?" Hideki shouted looking defeated. "There's no way I'm in that class!" He turned around. "Shit! I really wanted to be with Akina." he thought to himself. Akina laughed and shook her head, then looked over at the clock, "Ah! We're going to be late!" she shouted. "Looks like we better get to our classes!" she began to run off. "Cya Hideki!" she disappeared into the distance. Hideki put his hands on his hips and let out a big sigh.

Akina was now on her own, with Hideki in a different class and her sister no where in sight, she walked down the long hallways in search of her class. She looked outside the window and saw the group of kids in different classes all talking and training their pokemon. "That's gonna be me soon!" she said lowly to herself clenching her fist. "H-hey! Knock it off!" said a voice off in the distance. Akina looked up and over to her side. There was a young, short girl with yellow hair surrounded by a group of older, taller looking girls. "Knock it off? If you say so!" said one of the girls smirking. She knocked the yellow-haired girl's books out of her hand. The girls laughed as the young girl bent down to pick them up.

Akina rushed over to them. "Hey! Leave her alone!" she shouted. The girls shot a look at Akina. "And who are you?" said the tallest girl. "My name is Akina! I just transfered here to this school and I'm going to become a Pokemon master one day!" replied Akina. Another girl stepped forward, this time she had freckles and was slightly shorter than the others, but still tall. "Eh? Pokemon Master? So let's see your pokemon then?" she said with her eyebrows raised. Akina paused, then looked down. "Well-um...see- I don't have one yet." she said lowly. The girls all laughed. "How pathetic!" snapped the freckled girl. She turned around, "C'mon ladies, lets get out of here." she said as they all began to walk away.

Akina, with an angry expression on her face, watched them leave. Her attention then turned to the girl on the floor with the sad look on her face. She bent down and helped her pick up the books. "It's girls like that that make me wish I had a Haunter to scare them away like this-" Akina made a funny face in an attempt to cheer the girl up. The girl laughed. "They don't have anything better to do anyway." said Akina as they both stood up. The girl smiled, "Thanks for helping me out. Usually I try avoiding them so they don't harrass me so early in the morning." she replied. "By the way, my name's Yellow." she stuck her hand out. Akina shaked it. "My name's Akina! Nice to meet ya'!" Akina said smiling.

"So you're really going to be a pokemon master?" asked Yellow. Akina winked."Of course! It's my one dream, and I just transfered to PokeTrainer High to fufill it." The two girls looked at each other and smiled. Yellow looked down at her watch. "Oh! Well I have to be somewhere now! Hopefully we'll see each other around! And oh yeah, thanks for everything!" she ran off in the other direction and Akina waved goodbye to her potential new classmate.

The bell rang. "Oh damn! That's right! I have to be in class now!" She turned around and was about to run off when suddenly she bumped into a large figure that was standing right behind her -BOOM. Akina fell to the ground. She rubbed her head and looked up to see a woman with long purple hair who was so tall she looked to be a model. "Excuse me, young lady, but aren't you supposed to be in class by now?" she asked. Akina jumped up and bowed. "Oh yeah, well see I just transfered to this school today and-" Akina began to explain. "OH SO YOU'RE THE NEW TRANSFER STUDENT!" the woman shouted as she hugged Akina who just stood there stunned and speechless.

The woman coughed and attempted to regain her composure. "Well you see, my name is Lorelei, and I'm one of the deans of the school." she replied. "Deans?" repeated Akina. Lorelei adjusted her glasses. "Yes, you see, there are four deans in PokeTrainer Highschool and each dean is assigned to each student year. I'm the second year dean. A man named Bruno is the first year, a woman named Agatha is the third year, and a man named Lance is the fourth year. It's our job as a dean to know each student!" explained Lorelei. Akina scratched her head and there was a pause."Oh! I kinda get it now." she said finally. Lorelei nodded. "Yes!" she put her hand on Akina's back. "Now let's get you to your class." She escorted Akina down the hall.

After a long walk down the corridor, Akina and Lorelei finally came to a door. Lorelei turned and faced Akina. "Wait right here, hun." she opened the door and closed it behind her. Akina pressed her ear to the door but could hardly hear Lorelei's voice.

"So class, I would like to introduce a new transfer student-Akina!" announced Lorelei. Akina knew this was her cue. She slowly opened the door and stepped into the room. Her heart seemed to be beating fast but she didn't know if it was from excitement, or just plain nervousness. She could feel the stares of the students burning a hole into her back, but her eyes were focused only on Lorelei. As she walked foward she could hear the little whispers and comments coming from the class. "Why does she look like that, she looks mean." said one. "What's she even doing here?" said another. What was only a couple of seconds, felt like it took years for Akina to just walk from the door to Lorelei. She turned to finally face the class. This was her moment, her new chapter began here. Akina could feel the pressure, but she loved it. She clenched both her hands and took a deep breath...
