Kates' P.O.V

"So all I have to do is capture that Pikachu?" I asked. Mr Kaplan nodded his head. I shrugged, pointed my styler to it and yelled "CAPTURE ON." A disc with a white line following it shot out and I began the capture. I looped it around the Pikachu four times, until he blinked and smiled at me. I smiled.

"Good going. You are now officially part of my secret army to take over the world" Mr Kaplan said. I stared blankly at him.

"Oh please do not tease my students Mr Kaplan" a lady brown hair came in. she was wearing a white skirt and a green top.

"Hehehe sorry" Mr Kaplan apologized.

"I'm MS April. I will be you teacher here" she told me with a warm smile. I nodded and smiled at her. "Well lets go and meet the rest of the class" she said I nodded and followed her out the door.

"Enjoy your school life!" Mr Kaplan yelled to me. I put I thumbs up not looking back and raced out the door.

I stood outside the door I had no idea I would be this nervous. 'Ok calm down. Breath in breath out' I thought to myself. Ms April went in to introduce me.

"Good morning class. Now as you all know we have a new student joining us today" at that the class irrupted into whispers.

"Is it a guy? Or a girl?" I heard a boy ask.

"Is the new student cute? Cool? Or like a celebrity?" a girl asked.

"Ok why don't you see for yourself? Come on in" I heard Ms April call. I opened the door and walked to the front of the class. My light brown hair bouncing along the way. A smile, shy smile plastered on my face. "Introduce yourself dear" Ms April told me.

"My names Kate I moved here from Foire to become a Pokémon ranger." I smiled at everyone. A blonde haired girl smiled a warm smile and waved. I cocked a brow but waved back with a confused look.

"I understand Kate scored very well on her exam. Huh what is it Keith? Why the big grin?" I looked over to see a brown haired boy grinning at me. I felt red tug at my cheeks but brushed it aside. "Anyway Kate please take a seat next to Keith if you please."

I nodded and walked over to the spare chair. I felt his eyes on me all the way there.

"Now that's it for treating you like the new student. I will make today a free study period. Rythmi can I get you to show Kate around please?" Ms April asked the blonde who had waved to me.

"Sure thing" she said rather happily. With that Ms April walked out the door and I was surrounded by all the students.

"Hey new kid. I forgot your name but whatever. How long did it take to catch that Pikachu like an hour?" Keith asked me. I glared at him.

"About 30 seconds tops" I said. He looked at me and gaped then again so did the rest of then. Rythmi smiled at me. "Hey Rythmi right?" I asked she nodded. "Can you give me the tour now?" I asked.

"Sure come on" she chirped and we took off. We walked into Mr Kincaids' class and Rythmi introduced me. We then went to the staff room, then to the library or as she called it 'Keith's nap room' I giggled at that. We then went upstairs to the dorm rooms. Where I met Janice. Who was known as our mother figure while we were here. We went back down stairs the bell rang, and I raced outside leaving Rythmi behind. I stood outside for about 5 minutes until she came.

"Bout time." I said.

"Sorry you took off so fast I didn't know you left." She explained. I laughed at her. It was true I was a fast runner. Since I did run along the beach in Summerland with my sister.

"Do you known how to clear targets?" Rythmi asked me i shook my head. No. "Come on Ms Claire will show you" she smiled at me. I nodded and we headed to the building where I caught the Pikachu.

After we came back out there was a noise. Janice had stepped on a bidoofs tail by an accident and now they were all running around like crazy.

"Yo new kid. How about a challenge to see who can catch the most bidoof?" Keith yelled from the door.

"The names Kate red-head and sure bring it!" I yelled back.

"One….two….three….GO!" we yelled. We raced off by the time we had finished I had caught four and he had five. I lost but it was fun so I smiled. Janice apologized to the bidoof. I was too busy to notice her talking I was petting one of them who had been nuzzling my leg. It then took off with the others as Janice let them away.

"Not bad Kate I give you captures about an eight out of ten" Keith said to me. I mumbled a thank you just as Rythmi hit him.

"Oh Keith you did know our new friends name all along" she said with a smile. Rythmi never stops smiling. I laughed at her actions and Keith mumbling curses.

"Hey have you shown her Ascension Square?" he asked I stared at him blankly. "I'll take that as a no well come on I'll show you. This way" he grabbed my hand and began to drag me. I felt my face heat up, but quickly shrugged it off.

We walked down the steps to a huge stone. I stared in aw it was massive and so shiny. I stared at it.

"This is where everyone makes pledges and the come true. They call this the pledge stone" Rythmi told me. I heard her but didn't take much notice. Just then the bell went taking me from my thoughts. I looked back up. "Were gonna be late" Ryth said. "We best go." I nodded and ran off.

Keiths' P.O.V

"WHAT WAS THAT? THE FLASH ISNT MENT TO BE REAL!" I yelled. Ryth just shook her head.

"Took me a while to process she had left the first time she did it in the halls." Ryth told me. I just stared at the steps in awe.

Kates' P.O.V that night

I sent the message to my little sister. I looked around there was no one in the room Rythmi had gone to talk to someone outside. So i grabbed my guitar from under my bed and started strumming 'California king bed'. Playing the guitar has always been a hobby of mine. Just then the door opened and Rythmi came in. I looked up at her and blushed.

"I didn't know you played?" she asked/said to me.

"Yeah. It's always been a hobby of mine." I said to her.

"Cool hey lets sneak out for a bit. What dya say?" she asked. I stared at her and shrugged. I got up putting my guitar away and walked out the room to be met by Keith and everyone else.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"A test of courage. We all had to do it." Keith told me. I nodded.

"The rules?" I asked again after a moment of silence.

"Easy. Four of us have hidden our stylers in the school. One in our class room, one in Kincaids', one in the staff room and one in the library. You have to find them and place them in front of the door in the basement." Rythmi explain. "Don't worry Keith's going with you." I nodded and shrugged.

"Sounds simple enough" I said.

"ME I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING!" Keith yelled at Rythmi.

"No Keith the one on the right goes." She said calmly. Just then we heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

"HIDE!" everyone yelled. I just stood there. Mr Kincaid and Ms April stood at the top of the stairs. I looked at them.

"What are you doing out of bed?" Kincaid demanded. I frowned and put on an act.

"I felt a little bit home sick; I couldn't sleep cause of it. I had all the beautiflies flying around in my stomach. So I came out here to look at the stars. It always seems to calm me down. I did it with my mom and dad and Grace and it just reminds me of them" I explained a tear slid down my cheek.

Ms April came and gave me a hug. "It's normal for you to feel home sick but you should try to get to bed soon." She told me I nodded in understanding.

"Sorry if I made to much noise" I apologized.

"Don't worry about it sweetheart. Just get to bed when you've calmed down" Ms April said to me a smile on her face. I nodded and with that Kincaid and Ms April walked back down. I looked and watched them go into their rooms.

"You can come out now" I said everyone came out staring at me shocked. I wiped the tear from my cheek. "What?" I asked.

"You really feel home sick?" asked Rythmi. I shook my head.

"No it was an act" I stated. We all laughed. "Now can we get on with this before they come back?" I asked. They all nodded and Keith and me took off down the stairs.
