I don't own RWBY or any of the many shows that I'll be referencing for this story.
The shuttle from Vale to Beacon was crammed full of new students that where just starting their first year at the legendary Huntsman academy. A young raven haired boy who looked younger than the rest of the students stood off in the corner alone. He wore a red ball cap with a blue short sleeve jacket, and tan khakis with brown hicking boots to complete his wardrobe. He didn't know anyone expect maybe a few older students from Signal that he recognized. His people watching was interrupted by a holographic image coming up; it was a rather attractive man with blue eyes and blonde hair wearing a school uniform.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon. My name is Jaune Arc. As you all know we have been blessed with years of peace and as the future Huntsmen and Huntresses of this world it will be your duty to uphold it."
With that statement, the hologram of one of Vales most decorated Huntsmen winked off allowing the students a stunning view of Vale. The young boy looked out the window for a few moments before turning back to his classmates. He noticed an orange haired girl who looked about his age staring out the window with a rather tall guy standing next to her. The guy seemed more friend then boyfriend judging by the way the two of them stood together. Another boy with a headband that he recognized from Signal was sketching away at something on a sketch pad.
There were several other interesting people sprinkled about the shuttle as well. Quite a few faunas where amongst the crowd that he had never seen before. There was even a guy in full Samurai armor standing in another corner. Then there was a very familiar voice that came from behind him that caused the raven haired boy to grit his teeth as he turned to meet the offender.
"Hey, Ashy boy! What's a loser like you doing going to Beacon," asked a spiky brown haired boy around his age. The boy had spiky brown hair wearing a black pollo and dark blue cargo pants. He also wore an arrogant smirk that just made Ash grind his teeth.
"Well if you didn't know Gary berry, I got accepted after I beat up some thugs in downtown. The Headmaster was impressed enough to let me in two years early. How about you," asked Ash, with a wicked grin.
"Alright, no nicknames I got it. As for why I'm here, I'm just that good a student," replied his long time nemesis Gary Oak.
"There's more to being a Huntsman than paperwork," snapped Ash.
"No really? I had no idea," snarked Gary.
"Wait didn't yo…"
"Of course I know there's more to it than paper work," Gary snapped irritably.
The shuttle finally docked and Ash decided that he had enough with Gary. He took off without a backward glance and walked off the shuttle, paying more attention to getting away from Gary then where he was going. That proved to be a mistake as he walked right into someone, knocking them both down to the ground. Ash found himself straddling the orange haired girl he had noticed on the shuttle and he immediately jumped off of her with embarrassment.
"Sorry! Sorry I wasn't watching where I was going," he managed to splutter out.
"Nice going Ashy boy," laughed Gary as he passed the two.
Ash shot Gary a death glare then glanced back at the orange haired girl as she picked herself up. He took this time to actually look at the girl close up for the first time. She was pretty in a tomboyish sort of way with neck length hair tide in a side ponytail and cerulean eyes. She wore a sleeveless yellow jacket and shorts with blue trim, and a skin tight red shirt under the girl was also slightly taller than him, to Ash's annoyance, while his more perverted side noted that she had only a modest bust size though she did have a nice set of legs and small waist. After taking all of this in he finally noticed the vain twitching on her forehead and he started to sweat nervously.
"Just who do you think you are you little loser," yelled the girl.
"Easy Misty, I don't think the kid meant anything," the tall boy that had been with her on the shuttle said. He stood a good head taller than Ash with spiky brown hair and a dark complexion. His attire consisted of a green shirt with a brown vest with orange trim and grey pants.
"Yeah you're probably right. Sorry about blowing up at you like that," Misty said, calming down a little.
"It's alright and sorry for running into you again. My names Ash Ketchum by the way," said Ash.
"Names Misty Waterflower," answered Misty.
"Mines Brock Slate," the taller boy said offering his hand to shake.
Ash took his hand and shook it while looking around the vast campus for the first time. He could see everyone heading for the main hall on the other side of the courtyard and he gestured for the other two to follow. The three of them strolled along at a leisurely pace as they made some small talk. Apparently Misty and Brock came from Sanctum Academy in Mistral, but Misty's family always went to Beacon instead of Haven since they originally came from Vale. Brock for his part claimed that he wanted to get out and see the world, but Misty injected that he just wanted to see new girls.
"So…what are your weapons? I've got this thing," he asked pulling out his longsword which also mech shifted into a double bladed sword.
"Not bad, I've got this," Misty said with a manacle smile as she whipped out a war hammer that mech shifted into a M249 SAW.
"Cool! What have you got Brock?"
"Nothing that flashy," he said with a chuckle as he pulled out a collapsible bow staff which could be broke into tophus that had Colt Model 1911's embedded in them.
"So, Misty's a heavy hitter and you rely on agility," Ash stated more then asked.
"Yeah we were a pretty good team back at Sanctum," said Brock.
"So what's a kid like you doing in Beacon," asked Misty.
"Headmaster saw me in action and offered to let me in early," said Ash a little shyly.
Before they could inquire further the small group had reached the main hall and they got separated by the large crowd. Ash glanced around at the hundreds of students around him. He noticed that there were several older students and teachers in the galleries watching them, like they were trying to judge if they had what it takes to be here.
"Attention please. Attention, Professor Ozpin would like to say a few words before we get started," said Professor Arc, catching everyone's attention.
The Headmaster of Beacon Academy slowly walked up to the microphone with a very visible limp. Age had finally caught up to the seemingly ageless Headmaster and it was widely speculated who would be his replacement. After all he had such an impressive array of Huntsmen and Huntresses to choose from that had survived the war. Ozpin cleared his throat and began to speak with a slight quiver in his voice from age.
"I will keep this as brief as possible. As you all know the Fall war ended just fifteen years ago, but during that time human and Faunus relations have improved due in no small part to the efforts of the current President of the Schnee Dust Company. Her efforts have proven that our two peoples can live together in peace and it is your duty as future Huntsmen and Huntresses to maintain that peace. A great burden has been placed on your generations shoulders to prove this peace will last, it's up to you to take the first step."
With that the aging Headmaster limped off the stage and Professor Arc stepped forward. He glanced briefly around the room and Ash could have sworn that the knights eyes stayed on him a moment longer than usual. Then the knight gave them instructions to head to the ballroom to sleep for the night. Ash went with the rest of the first years without a second thought, but on the stage Jaune Arcs eyes followed the boy out the door.
What are you up to Ozpin, thought the blonde knight.
The ballroom was filled with kids in their sleeping bags with boys on one side and girls on the other. Ash managed to find Brock and rolled out his sleeping bag next to him noting that Gary's was on the other side of the room. Glancing over to the girl's side of the room Ash could see Misty talking to some of the other girls and he could have sworn that he heard his name being mentioned. Professor Arc and another Professor that was a rather pretty looking rabbit faunus of average height with long brown hair done up in a braid down her back. They where walking about the perimeter making sure that the children behaved during the night. Ash could have sworn that Professor Arc was eyeing him again but when he looked toward him Professor Arc was talking to the other professor.
"Something up Ash," asked Brock.
"Huh, oh nothing just a bit nervous about tomorrow I guess," said Ash.
"Don't worry if you're as half as good as you say you are then you'll do fine," the older boy assured him.
"If he is as half as good he says he is then there wouldn't be any Grimm left in Remnant," Misty called coyly from across the aisle.
Ash glared across at her and the carrot top just stuck her tongue out at him as several people who had heard the exchange laughed. Picking up a pillow Ash tossed it across the aisle and it smacked right into Misty's face. She glared at him and threw it right back at him with enough force to knock him over. In his frustration Ash threw the pillow blindly back in her direction and was rewarded with a yelp that didn't sound like Misty. There was a gasp from the students and Ash dared to look up to see the rabbit eared faunus professor holding his pillow. The older woman gave him a look that would have cracked stone and then shot it at all the other students, who all immediately pretended to sleep.
"Children please behave, or I will be forced to give you a detention on your first day," she said calmly.
Ash tried to hide in his sleeping bag while Brock and Misty both made snoring noises. Just when he thought that he was safe he heard the professor's voice call his name. Reluctantly Ash sat up and opened his mouth to apologize only to have his pillow rocket into his face with a loud thump!
"Work on your aim next time," she said with a wicked smirk.
Ash couldn't answer because he had all the air knocked from his lungs from the impact. That cute rabbit faunus was a lot stronger than she looked. He made a mental note to never get on her bad side…ever!
Yes I have roped you into a RWBY/Pokemon crossover. You are now under my control and…stuff. Okay I've had this in my head ever since I wrote the one shot 'Living Heroes'. Before you even ask no there will be no pokemon in this fic but there will be characters from the pokemon universe in this. Essentially their the next generation of Hunters after this war that I made up. I'll try to get some back story on the war in this fic but it will mostly focus on the pokemon crew. Don't worry I'll move this over to the crossover section in a few days after it gets some coverage. We will see what has happened to the old cast of RWBY later on in this story. Let me know what you think in a review. Until next time folks.
