Jordan's Point of View (PoV)
Trainer School, even if it's necessary, is the most boring thing ever. I like most of the subjects in school, but overall… Yeah it's not that fun. I enjoy talking to my friends during school time. I have learned many things during my time here at Kalos Trainer School, including the constant field trips we have here. My childhood Friend Jose and I have had a lot of mini adventures, If you had to list off all of the things we got ourselves into it would fill an entire essay.
I've always been a better battler than Jose, but he's been better at making friends than I have. I like to take a tactical view at everything, because of that I like to kept to myself rather than talking to other people. Jose usually introduces me to some of his friends, but I usually ignore them in the long run. Around school I'm known as being really smart, kind, and Calm. Now that's it's the last day of Trainer School I can get going on my very own Pokemon journey… If I can make it past today
.
I'm the average height for a male, five foot eleven, I have a shoe size of twelve. Right now I'm the age of sixteen… I guess you could figure that out because I'm graduating trainer school. Jose is also Sixteen like I am and he's a bit taller than me. Unlike Jose I have long hair, right below the shoulder blade, it has multiple shades of brown in it, light to dark. I usually wear a black World of Tanks Hoody, with some flexible blue jeans, under my hoodie I usually wear a RWBY Team VILT shirt, along with that I wear Black and Red Air Yordan's
Our school has us wear a Uniform just because… I hate it honestly, but I guess it looks nice on me, it has a white dress shirt, black dress pants, brown dress shoes, and then it has a black over shirt with red outlines on it. At the Kalos Trainer School they allow us to chose our own uniform as long as it looks presentable. When I'm not in school I like to hang out with Jose under a old Oak Tree after school, if we weren't doing that then we were adventuring into a nearby forest.
One of the few times I got into trouble, Jose and I felt that it was a good idea to pretend that we were Latios and Latias… It ended up that some of the local kids thought we were real… So they tried to catching Jose and I… it turns out Pokeballs hurt when they hit you and that pokemon move hurt a lot too. We both learned a lesson, but I guess that wasn't enough for us. One day maybe Jose could tell the other stories…
From the first day of school to now… I've had the greatest times of my life, and the worst… but with Jose with me, I feel like with him by my side I could conquer the Elite Four. Well that's the plan anyway, we've both talked about it. We decided that we're going to travel together for the most part. We agreed that there might be times where we'll have to walk off on our own, but we'll meet up again.
Now that it's the last day of school we'll do an annual Tournament for the seniors, at first all of the seniors face off in a 1v1 style match, Jose calls it an excuse to brag about winning. It include 30 people, five from each grade category, A's, B's, C's, D's, E's, and F's. I'm from the B category, Jose is in this Category too. In the tournament each person is randomly pitted against another person. I don't really like to try in school, I don't say why exactly… That's a secret.
Well, now I guess I should meet up with Jose in the trainer waiting room. It is getting close for the tournament, I wonder who I'll be battling later. I hope It's Jose so I can easily beat him… It's nice looking around my homeroom, it was just a plain white room with a plain blue skirt around the walls. I waved goodbye to my homeroom teacher before taking off to the Trainer waiting room.
I closed the door and turned around to a girl right in my face, "Oh, excuse me, sorry I didn't notice you were right outside of the door." The girl tilted her head slightly to the left… Or her right.
"No, it's fine, I wasn't paying attention to where I was standing" She looked above the door. Her eye's dilated seeing what class I came out of. "Oh… You're from a 'B' class?" She slightly backed up when she stated that.
I slowly nodded my head, "Yeah, but I don't really care about grades though, I'm not one of those snobby people." She didn't seem to believe me. "I mean it I'm the nicest person you could find in this school…"
"Well, I need to go," She was already turning around, "See you later!" I tried to stop her but she was already gone.
Well… that was interesting, oh well I better get going. I don't want to keep Jose waiting. These hallways bring back many memories for me, including all of the stupid things me and Jose have done in our school life. Many people were already walking to either the Waiting rooms or the stadium itself, I knew a lot of the people around here, I just don't know them personally. In reality we were informed if we were going to be battling in this tournament, both Jose and I were informed that we would be participating in the tournament.
When I finally reached the hallway where the waiting room is located I started to think about my future as a Pokemon Trainer, I already have my trusty Poke-Pal and My best friend in life. I opened the door into the Waiting room, but I noticed Jose wasn't here yet. I took a seat on a nearby bench next to some of my fellow trainers, yet I noticed that the girl I ran into earlier was sitting across the room. She was obviously Ignoring me, so I looked back at the door, as I did Jose walked into the the room so I waved him down.
Jose's Point of View (PoV)
Man how come day by day things don't get interesting, even though my friend Jordan is here with me. Trainer School never surprises me to be exciting, sure it's the last day at Kalos Trainer school in Lumiose City but even that doesn't seem exciting. But that doesn't stop me from pranking Jordan all the time, even though he is the calm type. Ever since we were little he was the best between the two, but he was always bad at making friends. We would always get into trouble with our mini adventures in every field trip, but that was just to impress everyone at school.
I've always been the lazy type the kind of person that has no worry about anything, but now I'm worried that from today forward after graduation what I will do. Here at school I'm the popular kid with average height, a bit taller than Jordan, just the right height for 16 year old male. It's nice that I'm taller than him but I'm jealous that his hair is longer than mine. Mines usually just above my ear but i do like my black hair. I usually wear a white dress shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, and a red tie which is my usual school uniform, in which I make it look good.
But out of school I usually wear a black hoodie with a zipper, blue jeans, white shirt, and black shoes. I usually just like to chill under the old oak tree in front of my house after school, or go on an adventure in the forest with Jordan. It's a good thing that I have least one dependable friend in this world that helps me out. As well as someone to look out for him to bring some sort of excitement in his life. But sometimes I think I bring just to much excitement in a form of chaos, but that never stopped our fun, and our friendship.
The last time we did something fun was about a year ago. When I had the bright idea of sneaking into a Miltank pen at night to do a little tipping. One by one we would tip them over until one of them woke up and used roll out. That was the first time I've seen Jordan scream for his life. And also was the first and final time we will do this. Ever since that day Jordan still won't admit that it was at least fun. instead he describes it as, "The worst idea you ever had!" Looking back now I have to admit that from the first day of Trainer school in Kalos to now, our graduation, school has had its share of laughs when Jordan and I get a bright idea. But now that's behind us and a new beginning starts today when we finally graduate and we finally start our new chapter of adventure.
Just as tradition at this school we have a fun mini tournament to decide which one of us graduates is the best beetween us. But for the record it's just a lame excuse to show off and brag about it to everyone. it's usually a made up of people from different grades ranging from A's to F's. In my opinion it's just to make it easier for the more talented, it makes sense since the most talented ones are one top. Each one gets paired up against each other randomly. But for me I'm in the B category with my friend Jordan nothing special but it seems that he's just not trying to get into A category. Probably trying not to show off or be notice since he's kinda shy that, or he's trying not to make me feel bad about my battle style.
6.25pm guess it's time to meet up with Jordan at the Trainer Waiting room to see who's battling who. Man what a drag that I have to be a part of the tournament, but I have nothing to do, so I guess i have no other choice. But one last time I get to see this old classroom with blue walls and the brown creaky old door. Even the hallways i'll miss all the time i've spent walking around from class to suddenly,"hey get out of the way", I heard a strange voice from behind. Next thing I knew I was on the Flat on my butt. With the same voice saying," Sorry", as it fades away.
Everyone at this school is in a hurry for the mini tournament so I guess I can leave Jordan waiting. As the entrance to the Trainer Waiting room comes closer it becomes clear that this is the first step of becoming a real the help of my friend Jordan and my trusted pokemon I've made it this far without giving up all that left is this tournament. 6.30pm, just in time, I hope that I wasn't late but just a few more steps. As I opened the door who do I see but my childhood friend,Jordan, waving at me and saying," Hello".

As Jose and Jordan did their usual greetings to each other the rest of the trainers started to show up. As soon as all of the thirty competitors showed up in the Waiting room the school announcer's voice rang throughout the room.
"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the Twenty-Fourth Annual Graduation tournament at Kalos Trainer School in Lumiose City." After the announcer announced what this event is the entire stadium erupted into cheers, mainly cheering for their classmates. "We will start this event up by posting the First round brackets, Here they are!" The first round brackets popped onto various screens placed around the room. First up was Jose against a F Category student, the girl Jose bumped into, who is a E Category, is the sixth battle, while Jordan is Battling a F category student like Jose. Further into the first round the girl Jordan ran into, a C category student, is battling last, or fifteenth. "Look's like this first match will be a bit interesting! We have Jose, a B category student, battling Ron, a F Category student. By grade Jose will win, but that doesn't mean everything!"
"Jose good luck with your battle out there" Jordan and many other trainers gave Jose a good luck pat on the back. "Be sure not to lose until we face off!" Ron grumbled his way out onto the battlefield before Jose turned to speak to Jordan.
Jose placed a hand on Jordan's shoulder, "Hey man, I'm more worried about you losing before I get to you!" Jordan and Jose shared a last laugh before Jose strutted off onto the battlefield.

This is it my moment to shine and to show that I have what it takes to enter the Kalos League to show that I can be number one not just here but in the whole region. With my head held up high ,like my spirit, my main focus is to get through the first round with my Pokemon. As I walked up to the field I can see that my opponent also looks determined through his facial expression. I guess this is it…. it's time to to show what we're made of. Go Gible it's time to show your strength! There's no other Pokemon like my first. From what I can see my opponent is using his Nidoran for our battle. As the announcer flips a coin to see who's going first. The only thing that is bothering me is that I hope I don't make myself look bad. Finally, Everything is set, all that's left is for my opponent to make my first move. As his Nidoran come at Gible at full force with peck I quickly tell Gible ,"Dodge and use Tackle", In which his Nidoran dodges as well.
With just a few second after that attack his Nidoran used peck again but this time from behind Gible. As Gible recovered from that attack I told him to use," take- down," but like the first time his Nidoran is just too fast. And just like from the first time his Nidoran came from behind and used double kick. I knew that I have to act fast so next I use,"Take-Down one more time," as Gible lands a hit but that's not enough.
From what I can see Gible landed a hit but that Nidoran took it head as i thought things couldn't get worst I was wrong as Nidoran launched Gible into the air with Double Kick . As I saw Gible's body fly across the field in front of me I lost my cool.I'm not the greatest trainer as I expected but as I looked up I saw Gible with a look of determination that he wont give us as long as I don't. Gible and I have always been cool under pressure ever since I found Gible about nine year ago when I used to live in Vaniville Town (my birth town). But back then before we ever met I was always a loser I would always be picked on during elementary school for always losing and crying after one day after school on a cold thundering day I was being picked on again for losing another battle. I tried to run away but they kept on following me until…like out of the blue I fell down of the side of the road into a small pit. I was scared and had no one around me but as I opened my eyes I saw a light but what I saw was a big surprise. It was a Gible and it look like it was hurt. I had to do something but I'm afraid of strange new Pokemon but i can't leave it here. So I picked the Gible up and carried it home but…. the kids from earlier saw me with the Gible and tried to take it by force. I can see from the corner of my eye that it was in trouble. that's it's doing what it can to stop them so if the Gible's not giving up nor will I. After five minutes of me getting my but kicked all I saw next was a bright light… then I woke up in my house next to the Gible as we looked at each other we laugh and cried and made a promise to be stronger.
So from that I must win this for both of us. As I planed the effect of Rough skin started to take its effect and damaged the opponent with every physical attack it did to Gible. It's weakened by the effect and has to rest,"it's time Gible to finish this use Dragon rage!" and just like that with a direct hit it was over... I won this match.

I noticed Jose was struggling, I knew he was better than this, I mean we did almost train constantly outside of school when we had the time. I think he just isn't focused enough. If he doesn't regain his composure, then he might lose, No… He'll win this battle I know it, after all, He isn't one to back out of a Pokemon battle. As soon as I said this I noticed Nidoran starting to take damage form Gible's Rough Skin, Jose noticed this and took the offensive and took down the enemy by using Dragon Rage, it hit right on it's mark. I knew Jose would come back one way or another.
"After that Amazing display of Power by Jose and his Gible they both will be moving on, while it looks like Ron is coming back next year!" Ron stomped off the battlefield, obviously mad that he didn't win. I know grades don't mean victory, but maybe he should have studied more. Everyone in the school knows that Jose has a Gible, Along with that a lot of people know about my Pokemon as well, but I bet most people won't know about him either. "Congratulations Jose, next up we have-" I stopped listening to the announcer so I could meet up with Jose. Many people clapped and wished good luck for the next two trainers, I didn't really care for who was going next. I waved at Jose who was walking back into the trainer's waiting room.

Jordan walked up to Jose and gave him a soft pat on the back, "Hey, nice job out there, but if you don't do better I won't be able to beat you." Jose looked down for a moment before looking back up at Jordan.
"Hey man, I got you. We'll battle at the end and I will beat you." Jordan laughed at Jose's motivation, "I'll be sure to improve for our battle." Jose and Jordan started walking back to the waiting room, on the way they saw the two battlers walking into the stadium.
"You know one of those two people that are about to battle?" Jose thought about it for a moment, "I didn't recognize them at all, so I thought you might have known them." Jordan patted Jose on the back, "Don't worry, I don't expect you to know everyone.
Jose nodded and the two partners continued their walk into the waiting room, on the screen the two trainers were going at it in an intense battle. One trainer was using a Piplup, while the other was using a Mudkip. The one with the Piplup seemed to be doing better, this was because her Piplup knew Peck and also Piplup was faster than Mudkip. "Hey man, who do you think is going to win?" Jose scratched a lower region of his body.
"Dude… anyway, I think the girl is going to win, her Piplup is trained better, and with the guy he seems to be hesitating too much. The girl already has this in the bag." Jose nodded at Jordan's response, but seemed to be thinking about something else, "Hey Jose, something going on over there?"
Jose looked up quickly,"Yeah… I'm just worried that I won't last long enough to fight you in the end of this tournament." Jordan looked at Jose with partial concern and anger, "I mean, I don't want to disappoint you or anything."
"Don't worry Jose, We'll both make it to the finals and face each other." Jordan looked much more chipper than he usually did, "I can guarantee it, but only if you try hard enough."
Jose looked much more pumped up then he usually is, "Yeah! you're right I can't win if I don't believe in myself." Jose put his fist out for a fist bump. "After all, together we'll conquer the Kalos League, nothing can hold us back!"
"Uhh, yeah, sure. But If anything we'll be by each other's sides" Although most of the trainers in the waiting room were staring at the two they didn't care. Nothing can break these two peoples friendship.
Forty Minutes Later
"Hey man look at who's battling" Jordan looked at the screen to see who Hose was pointing out. "That's a girl I ran into when I was walking over here." By the look of it Jose had some interest in this girl, and by the look in Jordan's eye he knew that too.
Jordan lightly laughed at the girl easily taking out another girl's Rattata with a Charmander's Flamethrower, "That Flamethrower was pretty weak, but I guess Charmander just learned it recently." Jordan nodded at her strength, "she seems really powerful at the least."
"Attention would Jordan and Allyssa please go into the battle arena, one of the previous competitors didn't show up." Jordan looked at Jose with mild confusion, "Your battle will start shortly." Jose and Jordan shared a quick goodbye as Jordan stepped out of the Waiting room.
Jordan's PoV
After I stepped out of the waiting room, I felt a sense of nostalgia. This is like when Jose and I first entered the Trainer school. Now wasn't a time to look back onto things, I have a battle to deal with right now. I wonder what kind of Pokemon she'll be using, I guess we'll see once I take this step onto the battlefield.
I stepped onto the battlefield and took position on my side, Allyssa took position on the other side as I did. "The battle between Jordan of Vaniville Town and Allyssa of Rustboro City will now begin, as a result of a coin toss JOrdan will begin with the first move.
I head Allyssa call out her Meowstic, "Meowth, show them what you can do." So, this is a battle between two cats… This might be interesting to say the least. "Meowth, use Fake Out." I calmly gave instructions to Meowth, knowing nothing could go wrong on this battle. Allyssa made the mistake of dodging the fake attack that Meowth started with, once Meowstic was in the Air, Meowth appeared behind Meowstic and slammed his paw into it. This caused Meowstic to slam into the ground causing the battlefield to crack slightly, Allyssa told Meowstic to hold strong but because Fake Out hit first in battle Meowstic Flinched. "Meowth once more with Fake Out, just enough to knock it out." Meowth gave an affirmative nod before disappearing and reappearing behind Meowstic. "Now Meowth, Hit it." Meowth brought his paw straight onto Meowstic, causing it to get launched out of the arena into the walls. Allyssa ran over to Meowstic, picked it up, and glared at me. She then ran off of the field with Meowstic in her arms, "Good job Meowth." I petted Meowth's head lightly, "Nyaaar" I then returned Meowth to his Pokeball and started to walk back to the waiting room. Once I got back into the Waiting room I noticed Jose waiting for me.
