Hey everyone! Thank you so much for reading this story. It really means a lot. I had a few chapters on this story a few years ago, but now I am revising the story from the beginning. I will try to have a consistent upload schedule. I will either upload on Saturday or Sunday afternoons.
I hope you enjoy! :)

Chapter 1
Diamond Academy of Platinum Pokemon Arts.
This is the name of the school with the most prestigious reputation on Earth. Every alumni of this school has made a name for themselves in their own fields, which leaves this school with a reputation for breeding the brightest minds in each generation.
Students from every region come to this school to learn from the best professors around the world.
Many apply, but only a few are accepted. Only those who are thought to have the highest potential to do great things get in.
Students that have gone on a journey are accepted based on their achievements, such as badges, ribbons, or keys earned, tournaments won, their resume, and their portfolio, which are videos of their top battles and performances.
However, for students who have not started their journeys yet, who are known as academic students, they are accepted based on their grades, their resume, and their portfolio, which may consist of simulated battles and battles performed in a school setting.
Both types of students are also required to take an entrance exam, a practical, and an interview before being accepted.
The school accepts very few academic students. Only 20% of the student population consists of academic students. To be able to get into this school as an academic student, you have to be the best of the best.
In a month from now, Diamond Academy's school year will officially start, and with it, the entrance of six new students.
"Are you sure we don't need any extra sheets or bedding, Bella?" asked a blond-haired girl.
"Yes, I'm positive," said Bella, a girl with long, wavy dark brown hair, "The acceptance packet from Diamond Academy said that they would provide us with plenty sheets and bedding, but we are responsible for washing them."
"Ok, good," said the blonde, "I just want to make sure we're prepared. School starts in a few weeks."
"Why are we doing this again?" groaned a purple-haired girl slumping down in her seat.
"You know why Iris," exclaimed a redhead grabbing something inside of the fridge.
"Yeah, I know, but refresh my memory. Maybe it will help me come to terms with it."
A brunette closed her book and said, "You want to go back home, right, Iris?"
Iris looked hurt at the question. Of course she wanted to go home. She hasn't been back in five years. She wanted to see her friends and family, but that didn't seem possible at the moment.
"You know I do," said Iris looking away from the brunette.
The brunette looked at Iris with understanding. She walked over to Iris's seat and kneeled down beside it.
"May…"
"I know, but we have to do this. We're too known here. Diamond Academy will offer us the chance of real privacy. No one knows who even goes to the school until they graduate. We need enough time and extended privacy to be able to come up with a plan to remove ourselves from this place."
"Honestly, I think that it's going to be impossible to completely remove ourselves from here," said the blunette.
"Why do you say that Dawn?" asked May
"Now that we are trustees and directors of Bella's foundation, our involvement in the political and academic communities of these regions has increased considerably," said Dawn, "Not that I regret doing it, but I believe there is only so much we can remove ourselves."
"You're right," said the redhead, "We're too involved. We need more time to figure out what we are going to do. Hopefully going to Diamond Academy will help with that. The only thing that we will have to worry about is keeping our identities a secret from the students and the faculty."
"Don't worry about that Misty," said May, "Bella and I have that covered. We contacted the school and told them that we will be attending in a disguise and under pseudonyms. All the teachers won't know who we really are unless we let it be known. The only ones who know will be the higher ups."
"I thought you said we are going to do this slowly…." said Iris.
"We are," said Bella, "We already leaked to the press that we are going to be staying at a really exclusive place for a while. The only place they can possible think of will be Diamond Academy."
"We should still participate in contests and tournaments though so as to not raise to many suspicions," said Misty
"At least it will lessen the attention on us," said Serena, "The more the media is focused on us, the more information they will try to gather on us. Eventually, they will know where our real home is and who we really are. We can't let that happen."
All the girls nodded at this. The press could not know where their home was located. The region that they come from is a peaceful one with a rich history. Not many tourists visit the region, which is much appreciated by the residents and the government. With few people visiting, they have been able to limit evil organizations from abusing their homeland.
"I know," sighed Iris, "You're all right. I still don't want to go, but I will for the sake of our mission.
