Hello to all my fans! after a very long hiatus I am back and better than ever! now I know some of you are wanting a new chapter in some of my previous stories such as the Trident saga or even Disciples of the Drakonum, but do not fear I have NOT given up on those stories I am just working on making the stories sound right! now I have wanted to do a pokemon fic for a while now but most of them have ended up with me running into a cement wall of writer's block, I hope this story will be different. I was inspired to write a pokemon academy story by nE0nbLaCk13 and if he is reading this here is a message to him: I AM ONLY ON CHAPTER 6 AND I THINK YOU ARE DOING A F***ING AWESOME JOB AND THANKS FOR BEING AN INSPIRATION TO ME! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! now on to the introduction introducing the academy!

Pokemon Academy: The Education of a lifetime!

Introduction

Welcome to Pokemon Academy Central School, one of the most prestigious Schools for pokemon professions of any kind, from training to Coordination and from Researchers to connoisseurs and everything in between. Our Academy is headed by Professor Gary Oak, grandson of Pokemon Researcher Great Samuel Oak and the Faculty come from all walks of life, and many times there are seminars by non faculty members who have special expertise in specific areas, some are in class some all you have to do is just show up and take in all that you can, and there are those you have to sign up for.

The academy's Curriculum depends on what the applicant applied for. Each Course is a 4 year program that delves deeper into each field as they progress. The Courses vary from Trainer Education to Pokemon Breeding and From Researchers to Coordinators.

Now let's talk about the Academy itself: the Campus towers Over Chockatouse Island, a Tropical paradise that is home to many environments and things to do, And that includes pokemon of every type and best of all students are free to catch pokemon for keeps, though they must have at least one pokemon of their own before they enter the academy. The Campus has several buildings each tailored to what they are for: this includes the central office where the headmaster and other higher ups have their offices, behind the central offices is the central courtyard to the north of the central courtyard is the Main building where the classes and seminars are held taught by certified teachers who also are experts in their field. The central building also houses the campus's medical center both for pokemon and people alike, those who are in the pokemon medical training course taught by our residential nurse joy help out here for field experience. On the roof of the central building is the sky top battle platform, which is the central location for all school events even those who have no relation to pokemon battling. Another place of note at this location is the Academy Poke Mart where students can purchase items ranging from Pokemon healing and power up items to school supplies and snacks as well as camping and survival gear for the academy's wilderness survival class.

To the right of the main building is the academy Battle club where trainers can come for unofficial battles and pokemon workouts of various types, this is where the pokemon PT and Battle 101 classes are held, this also includes a boys and a girl's sauna for them to relax after battling or training.

South of the Battle Club is the auditorium where school-wide presentations and performance are held

Across from the Auditorium is the club building where all the schools clubs gather for club activities such as art, music, gardening or computers among others.

To the North of the Club Building is the Library headed by former gym leader and Museum curator/head Librarian of nacarene city Lenora, here you will find informational media ranging from the classic books to media presentations that are both entertaining and educational, filmed by the school's video production class and hosted by specialists varying depending on the subject material.

Finally we come to the centerpiece of the academy grounds: the Dormitories. the dorms are divided into 3 towers there are the standard boys and girls dorms, but the 3rd dorm is the VIP Dorm where those students sponsored by a top trainer or researcher stays, which houses on one half of the tower is boys and on the other half girls. All 3 towers are linked in the center to the student lounge and common areas, opposite genders are allowed in the other dorms however if they are in the room of another gender doors are required to be open at all times and they must clear out 20 minutes before curfew at 9:30.

The Island that the academy is on also has a multitude of other attractions, the city to the south of the Campus has attractions such as outdoor shopping malls, restaurants, Amusement parks and let us not forget about the battle frontier where students automatically get a frontier pass case in their student kit, however if one is looking for fun in the sun look no further than Pentakota Beach, the soft sand and warm tropical waters are the hallmark of the Island's reputation as a tropical paradise!

Next up is the staff of the academy: they are divided into several groups depending on the class, the Professors handle the in-classroom work, the Breeding instructors are not an on-campus class the students in that class go to the pokemon day care on the outskirts of the city for that class, the Battlemasters are the ones who aid in pokemon training and battle training, our own nurse joy teaches the pokemon Medicine class in the main building, other information about faculty is stored in the student Pokegear, and speaking of which…

Now finally we move on to the students themselves! The methods of student enrollment varies but there are 3 main ways to get enrolled: the first and easiest way is to fill out an application detailing what career choice in the world of pokemon you desire and then pass our 2 phase exam, phase one is a written exam which tests applicants in their knowledge about their career choice, the written exam is tailored to the career choice that the applicant put foreword in their application, phase 2 varies depending on the career path but an example from the trainer's exam is random pokemon battle with one of the examiners. The second way is to win the Academy's challenge that is held every year in each region and the top 3 are invited, however the students will have a bit more of a workload to make up for bypassing the phase one of the exam. And the Hardest means of entry is to get a sponsorship from a high ranking person in the field of pokemon such as a top breeder or a gym leader/elite 4 member or even a champion! Once entered into the academy you are issued your trainer kit which consists of a backpack to hold all your gear, the academy Pokedex which can be updated with the latest pokemon findings Via any computer linkup terminal on campus, another feature in the academy pokedex is that it can serve as the student's textbooks, once your class schedule has been confirmed your pokedex will have some data files transferred to it containing all your textbooks all you have to do is access the pokedex menu and go to textbooks and select the required textbook, you can also download other books nad even other class textbooks in the library and read the books from your pokedex if one is interested to learn about other aspects of the pokemon world! The next piece of gear you are issued is your student ID, this is used to store your digital money which is used to buy meals at the cafeteria or purchase items at the school store this form of currency is accepted everywhere else in the pokemon world and some places give student discounts! Finally the last piece of gear you are issued is your Pokegear, it acts as your communications and sometimes personal media device, features include visual communications, instant messaging, internet access, pokemon stats viewing, Able to play MP3s and as well as having a radio, other apps used to upgrade the Pokegear are available through the academy's website.

So that wraps up orientation for Pokemon Academy and we hope you have as much fun learning what our faculty have to teach you as much as our faculty have teaching you!

a few author's notes: for visuals on what the pokedex looks like got to bulbapedia and look up pokedex, the pic they have at the beginning is the pokedex in X & Y and that is what the pokedex looks like

the pokegear looks like the one in Heartgold and Soulsilver however the difference is that the students can choose the color schemes of their pokegear

the backpacks come in various styles and colors for the students to choose from ranging from fanny packs like what May wears to what the hero in pokemon black and white 2 carries and many styles in between!
