Angel Academy: Chapter 1: The Academy Hilda's POV: I stared at the paper in my trembling hands, and reread it. Hello, Hilda Touko White. This is Palkia's Angelic Boarding Academy for Girls, and we are glad to tell you that you have been accepted into the Academy, and that you are to come to the Academy on February 1st, at 10 am. Please bring everything from your house, since you will move into your dorm as soon as possible. You can get to the Academy by flying to it high above the clouds using a Legendary Pokemon, but if you do not have a Legendary Pokemon that can withstand the altitudes, or no Legendary Pokemon at all, please fill out the form below for our chariot services. Bring this acception letter to the main office, and the staff there will assist you as soon as possible. Have a safe flight to the Academy, and don't be late. At the bottom of the letter, above the chariot form, was a pink wax seal with a Palkia on it. The same seal had been on the back of the envelope. I was sure my face had frozen up in disbelief, and ran down the stairs to the kitchen where my mom was. "Mom, mom! Look! I got accepted into Palkia's Boarding Academy!" I was as excited as a little girl on Christmas. Mom read the letter, and gave me a warm smile as she hugged me. "That's great, Hilda! You know, your brother Hilbert is going to Dialga's Black Wing Academy for Boys." My smile disappeared as soon as mom said that. But, I forced a smile onto my face, for my mom's sake. "I better get packing, 'cause tomorrow, I have to go off to the Academy." Yup, February 1st was tomorrow. I walked over to my room, and started packing. I won't bore you with the details. After I was done packing everything into 3 or 4 suitcases, I went to Bianca's house, and said my goodbyes. I waved goodbye while leaving Bianca's house. FAST FORWARD TO VALENTINE'S DAY, 9:46 I heaved my suitcases outside of my house, and I let out Reshiram. "RESHI!" I nuzzled my face into Reshi's neck. That's right, I nicknamed my Reshiram Reshi. Not creative, but I don't care. "Hey, Reshi. Can you fly me up there?" I pointed towards the clouds. Reshi looked at me questionably, and the Legendary Pokemon telepathically asked me why I wanted to fly to the clouds. I showed Reshi (let's just call Reshi a girl okay?) the seal on the letter's envelope, and she nodded. I strapped my suitcases on to her back, and lifted myself to a sitting position. "RESHI!" Reshiram roared and began to flap her wings. Soon, we were flying towards the clouds. We broke through the first cloud barrier, and suddenly, I couldn't breathe. I gasped for air a few times before I could normally breathe. I looked around, and found that an air bubble was surrounding me. I looked forward, and saw a faint light in front of me. It took the shape of Palkia, then faded away. I smiled, knowing the bubble was the work of Palkia. "Onward, Reshiram!" Reshi roared, and sped toward the second cloud barrier. Once we broke through thay, a blinding white light welcomed us. Once Reshi and me got situated with the light, I gasped. It was beautiful. The pillars were light pink, and everything else was either white, or marble. Reshi landed on the clouds, and I got off. I unstrapped my suitcases, and I bumped back into someone. I turned around to see a girl wearing a white beanie hat with pink half pokeball, a pink jacket with four pink puffs on it, pink boots, and a white scarf. She had a white gym bag on her shoulder, and a watch on her wrist. "Oh, sorry. Are you okay? I'm Dawn." She held out her hand. I took it, and Dawn smiled at me. "What's your name?" "Hilda, but I prefer to be called by my middle name, Touko." Dawn smiled even more. "I suppose you're a new student? I can help you get around this school. I'm starting 9th grade here. You?" I nodded. "Come on, let's go to the main office." Dawn pulled me towards a marble door up the front stairs. I just managed to slip out my acceptance letter out before the office door closed behind me. A Mew looked up from behind its tiny desk and smiled at me. "Mew, mew, mew!" Somehow, I could tell it was welcoming me here. "Mew, could you get her her dorm key, schedule, and angel pill? Also, can you get some people to help her with her suitcases?" Mew nodded, and floated towards some drawers and pulled out a light pink folded paper, and a keycard with white angel wings on it. "Mew." Mew handed the things in its hands to me. "Uh, thanks, Mew." Mew nodded slowly, then proceeded to punch in something on her phone. "Mew, mew, mew." Mew still had to give me an angel pill, but as soon as I thought that, a pill popped out of a cartridge in the phone. It was a wing shaped liquid gel. Mew handed it to me, and I took it, not sure of its purpose. Mew handed the same things to Dawn. "Come on, let's get you to your dorm!" Dawn pulled me out of the office, down the hallway, and up 5 flights before getting to my room number. The suitcases were in the room when I opened the door. I gasped at the size of the room. Angel murals were on the ceiling, and the seperate beds were gigantic. There was a kitchenette and a living room, both in seperate rooms. There was also a walk in closet. And in every room, there was a TV, and something gold always decorated each room. I was amazed by the enormity of the place where I was staying for the rest of the school year. There was even a guest room. "Oh...my...Arceus...This room is so HUGE!" I laid myself down on one of the beds. It was designed like a chess board, with the covers, pillows, bedsheets, and the mattress, having a black and white squared design. Dawn lied down on a bed that flashed silver, then white, then, pearl black, then shiny clear. Then, her eyes flew open as soon as they were closed. "Hey, you still have to get your angel wings! Come on, pop the angel pill in your mouth!" Dawn sat up, and smiled again. I sighed. Then, an idea popped into my head. "Hey, why don't you swallow your angel pill first?" Dawn thought about it for a moment, then nodded. She dug around her gym bag and finally pulled out the small pill. She swallowed it with such speed, I could barely see it. Her feathery wings popped out quickly. They looked like the wings that Alex from Wizards of Waverly Place wore in the episode, "Wizards Vs. Angels." They looked beautiful, but somewhat worn out. "Now you get your wings." Dawn said. I pulled out my pill, slowly and uncertainly, but Dawn, being impatient, flew towards me and shoved the pill into my mouth. The pill was surprisingly sweet and fluffy. It dissolved in my mouth easily. Then, a sharp pain came onto my back. "Ah!" I cried out in pain, but Dawn just watched me. I felt something unfurl from my back, and the pain disappeared. Dawn pushed me towards a mirror in the bedroom. I gasped. Brand new white wings were on my back. They were lovely. "Come on! Let's go see who our other roommate is!" Dawn pulled me towards the door. "But, we just got here! Come on!" "No, we're going to go find our roommate, now come on!" I wrapped my fingers around the door frame as Dawn tried to pull me out of the room. "All right, I didn't have to do this to you...AIR VORTEX!" Dawn yelled. Air sucked me towards her, and my fingers slipped. I fell on top of her. When we both got up, we giggled, before I noticed a girl with a red bandana on her head. She looked confused. "Oh, excuse me, do you know where room 547 is?" the bandana girl asked. Dawn and I looked at each other and smiled. We pulled her into our dorm, which was the exact room that she was looking for. "Woah!" she said as she was pulled in. "This is room 547!" "Wow, it's huge, massive even! Oh, so sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm May." Bandana girl held out her hand, and Dawn shook it before I could. "I'm Dawn, and she's Touko." I smiled at May. "He- "WILL THE STUDENTS OF PALKIA'S ANGELIC BOARDING ACADEMY COME TO THE AUDITORIUM/GYM, I REPEAT, WILL THE STUDENTS OF THE ACADEMY COME TO THE AUDITORIUM/GYM." Dawn looked confused. "I don't know why we would have to go the auditorium, I mean, we just got here. Oh well. Hey, May, you should probably swallow your angel pill." "Oh, you're right." May swallowed the pill, and her wings popped almost as fast as Dawn's wings. May's wings looked newer than Dawn's, but older than mine. "Come on, let's go!" Dawn dragged us out of the room. We got caught in the rush of students heading towards the auditorium. Soon, we bumped into someone. "Watch it, sis!" The person who we bumped into looked like the taller version of Dawn, except she was wearing a pink scarf, pink boots, and high black socks. She had on a black shirt that ended up being a skirt at the bottom, and under that was a white top. She had a yellow gym bag. "Platinum." Dawn gritted her teeth. "Oh, Dawn, stop digging through my closet." "But, Platinum, I have to wear something on my first day here. I can't freeze for fashion's sake, like you were when we first flew here. Besides, all your clothes are the same as mine, so, no biggie." "Grrrr..." Platinum then evilly smiled. "All right, you win, but if you dig through my closet again, or do anything else that annoys me, I will ruin your social life at this school. And the rest of you that are with her, don't mess with me, or else." Platinum flew away and got back into the rush. "Rude!" May said. "Come on guys, let's go see what's happening in the auditorium." I said. They both nodded, and we flew above everybody else. Once everybody got seated, the auditorium got dark. "Students! Please welcome your principal, Champion Iris!" Everybody clapped and some people were even whistling. A spotlight shined on an exit at the gym floor, and Iris entered on a Hydreigon. I can't describe her outfit, because its too hard. "Hello angels! I have called you all here because, first, I want to congratulate you on becoming a student here!" Everybody appluaded. Once everybody quieted down, Iris continued. "Now, the second reason of why I have called you here is to tell you that the Valentine's Day dance is 2 weeks away!" Iris clasped her hands together, while everybody else murmured. "Oh, this is so exciting! I can finally Barry out for the dance!" Dawn whispered to me. I gave her a questioning look before Iris continued, still sitting on her Hydreigon. "So, since I want everybody to be able to be partnered up to somebody that's the different gender, the boys from Dialga's Black Wing Academy will be allowed to come over here, and vice versa. I hope everybody will have a wonderful time at the dance. You are dismissed." Iris flew away with her Dragon Pokemon, and the lights came back on. Everybody rushed towards the exits. While we were in the hallway, I had a very important question on my mind. "Dawn, who's Barry?" Dawn blushed a deep red. "Oh, did I mention someone named Barry? Who's Barry? I don't know anyone named Barry." Dawn nervously laughed. "Dawn, come on, we know you have the hots for this guy, whoever it is, so you better spill." I crossed my arms and tapped my foot in patience. "Yeah, its no use trying to hide it now." May said. "All right, all right. Barry is a guy who is a neighbor of mine. I've had a crush on him ever since I met him. He came to Dialga's Academy the same time I came here, and he got his starter Pokemon around the same time that I did too." I clasped my hands together and smiled. May had a confused face, while Dawn's face was full of horror. "NO, you are NOT going to ask him out for me. Nuh-uh, no way, never, I've made my decision." "I knew you were going to say that, so I respect your wishes." Now Dawn looked as confused as May. "HUH?" they both asked. "Yup, I won't play matchmaker. But, my brother will. He goes to Dialga's Academy along with this Barry guy, so I'll get him to do the dirty work for me. He and I'll be THE MATCHMAKING DUO!" I pointed my index finger into the air. Dawn groaned and put her forehead in the palm of her left hand. "All right, all right, I surrender to your matchmaking plan." Dawn made a surrendering sign with her arms. I smiled deviously and pulled them towards the Boys Academy.
