Me-Hi and welcome to my new story!

Keith-What's it called?

Me-It's called Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia!My Way!

Rhythmi-Eh? What in the world does that mean?

Me-That is Shadows Of Almia retold by me, of course!

Rhythmi-Oh~! I get it now!

Issac-*chuckles* Silly Rhythmi...

Kate-And so, does it contain stuff behind the scenes that was not told of in the actual game?

Me-*nods* Yes. This one will contain more romance (yes, I'm big on romance), more action, more violence, more seriousness, and we'll cut down on the G-Rated stuff for a bit, now shall we?

Kate-WHAT? I don't want to die!

Me-You won't, so calm down!

Keith-...Um...

Me-Sven, disclaimer!

Sven-Eyes for Vova only does not own Pokemon!

Me-And read on!

Kate's POV

A Ranger styler was thrown my way and I looked at Kaplan with confusion written all over my face.

"What's this for?" I asked.

Kaplan laughed.

"You seriously don't know what a Ranger styler is?" Kaplan questioned with tears in his eyes as he continued to laugh.

Claire shoved him.

"Stop it! She's just now seeing a Ranger styler!" she scolded.

"I have seen one of these before! Is this the knife for swirling the mixture in marble cake?" I asked.

Claire slapped her forehead while Kaplan laughed his head off at my comment.

"What? Was it something I said?" I questioned.

Claire sighed before walking up towards me.

"That's a styler used to catch Pokemon and befriend them." Claire explained.

I gasped.

"Oh! I remember now! I'm ready to capture it!" I said, positioning it at the incoming Bidoof heading my way.

"Come on, Bidoof! Go over to Kate." Claire said, ushering the Bidoof towards me.

I pointed the styler at the Bidoof.

"Capture...ON!" I exclaimed as I released my Capture Disk and it began to circle around Bidoof.

I then began to do circles around the Bidoof and I finally captured the Bidoof.

"Capture complete!" I declared.

Claire clapped as Kaplan's mouth dropped in surprise.

"Awesome job, Kate! I'm sure that you'll become a great Ranger!" Claire complimented.

At just that moment, my new teacher, Ms. April, walked into the room.

"Did she do well, Kaplan?" she asked.

Kaplan looked at the sheet that Claire had just printed out and his eyes widened.

"C...Congratulations! You passed the Ranger School Entrance Exam with flying colors. The capture was a success!" he stammered at the first part, shocked that I actually passed.

"From now on, you will be attending this school and you will have Ms. April as your teacher." Claire said with a bright smile on her face.

"Your classmates are eager to see you. Follow me, Kate." Ms. April said.

I followed her out the door and heard Kaplan call out to me.

"Enjoy your school life!" he called out as the door closed shut behind us.

I followed Ms. April across the school yard and we went into the school building.

The bell rang just as we walked into the building.

"It's time for class, Kate. Come on, let's go." Ms. April said as we headed towards her classroom.

"Now, you stay right here. You'll come in when I say that you're allowed to come in." Ms. April said before opening the door and walking into the classroom.

I could hear her saying sorry that she was late and that they were getting a new student today. Then, I heard shouts and mumbling from inside the room.

I cringed.

"Oh boy...this class better not chaotic than my last class in Fiore..." I thought to myself as I pressed my ear to the door.

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

"Is the new student cute? Or do they look like a celebrity?" a girl asked.

I then began to feel nervous just by hearing them rant on about what the new kid would look like.

"What if they don't like me? What if they see that I'm not the celebrity, popular, and flashy kind of person that they wanted to see? What if, what if, what if?" I began to freak out as I straightened out my clothes and looked at myself to see if I looked presentable and decent.

I then heard Ms. April tell the kids to calm down.

"Why don't you see for yourself, class? Come on in!" Ms. April called out.

I took one deep breath before opening the door and walking into the classroom.

Everyone turned around in their seats and they kept their eyes on me as I walked up to the front of the classroom.

I kept my head lowered just a bit as I stood next to Ms. April.

"This is our new student. She came all the way from Fiore to become a Pokemon Ranger. Why don't you tell us your name?" Ms. April asked while looking at me.

My stomach began to do somersaults as I looked at everyone.

"My name is Kate. Kate Hizuomi." I said calmly.

On the inside, I was about to run out of the classroom and hide myself in Kaplan and Claire's training cabin.

"So, our classmate's name is Kate Hizuomi. Make sure to make her feel welcome here. Now, I shall find a spot for you to sit." Ms. April said as she looked around the room.

She then spotted an empty seat next to a guy listening to his iPod and chewing some strawberry flavored gum. Strawberry flavored gum was all the talk these days...

"Ah! We'll have you sit next to Keith." Ms. April said.

The boy, who was known as Keith, stopped chewing his gum and pulled out his earbuds, shocked beyond his wildest dreams.

"Say what? Why do I have to sit next a girl? Can't you put her next to Rhythmi or something?" Keith whined.

"Keith...! Stop your useless whining! Besides, you two might get along, since she scored very high on the entrance exam." Ms. April scolded sternly.

Keith then had a huge grin on his face, but it faltered once I sat down next to him.

"Anyway, today's class is a free-study class. And also, can I get you to show Kate around, Rhythmi?" Ms. April asked.

I looked at Rhythmi, who was a blond haired blue eyed girl who was sitting across from me.

She beamed.

"Sure!" she said as she walked up to me.

Sooner or later, everyone else crowded around as Ms. April left for the staff room and they began to bombard me with tons of questions and statements.

"Hey, new kid. I forgot your name, but how long did it take for you to capture Bidoof? An hour?" he said with a mean smirk on his face.

Rhythmi gasped before reaching over and pulling on Keith's cheeks very hard.

"Ow! What was that for?" he whined while rubbing his cheeks.

"That was for you making fun of Kate! After all, I heard from Naomi that she captured that Bidoof in 1.55 seconds! Ain't that right, Kate?" Rhythmi asked.

I nodded, which made Keith scoff and plop back in his chair. He put in another stick of gum and began to listen to another song on his iPod.

Naomi flipped her long auburn hair.

"Watch out Keith or else that song and your gum may go to either your brain or your face." Naomi warned.

Keith laughed.

"Sure, Naomi! Like that will ever happen!" he said as he blew a bubble that almost touched my nose.

Drake, a guy with light brown hair, pulled out a sharp needle and popped the bubble, making it explode all over his face.

We all laughed as Keith snarled, trying to pull the gum off of his face.

"You deserved it, Keith!" Naomi snickered.

Rhythmi's laughter subsided as she looked at me.

"No matter. You should be paying attention to me instead. I'm Rhythmi Kaoru. I'm not here to become a Ranger, but an Operator. When I become one, I will be able to order Keith around!" she said, which made Keith glare at her.

Rhythmi laughed.

"Only kidding!" she said.

Keith muttered something under his breath before going back to talking to Drake and flirting with Jayla, a girl with caramelized brown hair in a bob cut.

"So, let's start Rhythmi and Naomi's awesome and outstanding tour of the Ranger School! First, we have our own classroom." Rhythmi explained.

She then pointed at the others sitting in a corner laughing and drinking decaf cappucino.

"The guy that got bubblegum in his face is Keith Kazuomi. He's the rich brat of Garret Kazuomi, who owns a Pokétch company in Pueltown. It's a really big company, if you ask me. See? Me and Naomi got a Pokétch at his company for half price. He's also my childhood friend from kindergarten. We first met when he dipped my ponytails in red paint. I had pushed him into the sandbox after he did that and we got timeout because of that. We bonded while we were in timeout and slowly became friends." Rhythmi explained.

"I met him in fourth grade. He had stolen my lunchbox and I had chased him around the school for five minutes until Rhythmi tackled him, sat on top of him and told him to give me back my lunchbox or else she'll stay on top of him until he does so. He gave it back to me and said that he had no lunch money, so that was why he stole my lunch. I felt so sorry for him, so I gave him half of my sandwich, a SunnyD juice bottle, and a fruit snack packet. We didn't really become friends, but we talk every now and then." Naomi explained.

"The girl with the caramelized brown bob cut is Jayla Zeko. She is the daughter of Fianna Zeko, the famous actress in Fiore. She's really popular and rumors say that she's dating Keith. But, I highly doubt that. Me and Naomi personally hate her for her snobbiness. We both met her in sixth grade. She had tripped Naomi because she had glasses then and she stepped on them, calling Naomi a nerd and laughing at her before pushing her into some lockers. She had then spilled hot chili on my white school blazer and said that I'm such a sloppy eater, that I spill food all over all the time, which is not true. She also embarrassed me greatly when I was in the talent show two years ago. She said that I had herpes and that me break down in front of everyone. Keith encouraged me to keep on going and not to worry about Jayla. So, I continued to do what I was doing, which was playing the piano, and I ended up winning first place in the talent show. She's always trying to catch Keith's attention." Rhythmi explained.

Naomi rolled her eyes as she saw Jayla whisper something in Keith's ear while staring at me, which made Keith burst out into fits of laughter.

"Ugh...she makes me sick..." Rhythmi trailed off.

"And that's Drake Yoshimizu. We have a really have a tight bond. Especially Naomi and Drake. We both met Drake in sixth grade when Jayla was bullying us. He always stood up to us and we were very grateful to him. I also think that Naomi likes him. Rumor has it that Drake likes her back, but it hasn't been confirmed true as yet." Rhythmi explained.

Naomi blushed furiously.

"Don't worry, Naomi. I'm sure your love life will be fine." I reassured.

"You think so?" Naomi asked.

I nodded.

"I know so." I said.

"So, now we'll talk about the class next door. Mr. Kincaid, who is the teacher, always has this pet saying. It goes like this: No running in the halls! That's his usual saying. He says it everyday. All the smarty pant kids are in there." Rhythmi explained.

"And also, Rhythmi's "boyfriend" Issac Richman, is in that class as well." Naomi added.

Rhythmi's cheeks were painted red at the mention of this Issac dude being her boyfriend.

"He's not my boyfriend! We've been friends ever since we were toddlers and I highly doubt that he's even interested in me...I heard that he likes this shy girl named Gianna, so I don't think he likes me back." Rhythmi pointed out.

"Don't say that, Rhythmi!" me and Naomi both exclaimed.

"Well, enough about that. Let's head on over to Mr. Kincaid's class next." Rhythmi said before walking out of the classroom with me and Naomi following her close behind.

"Dude, you should try doing what you did with Rhythmi, Jayla, and Naomi last year." Drake said once Jayla was out of sight.

"But to who?" Keith asked.

"You know..." Drake trailed off.

"The new girl?" Keith said, a devious smirk crawling onto his lips.

"Yes. I bet she's a 36A." Drake said.

Keith licked his lips at the very thought.

"Mmmmmhmmmm...and you know what? I was stripping her with my eyes and saw one good-looking body." Keith said.

Drake sighed.

"You are such a badass pervert..." Drake muttered under under his breath.

Keith smiled his signature cheesy smile that attracted all the girls.

"I know, right?" he asked.

"So, here we have Mr. Kincaid's classroom." Rhythmi said as the three of us walked into his classroom.

Mr. Kincaid glared up at us from his attendance sheet.

"Sorry for disrupting your class, Mr. Kincaid. Me and Naomi are just showing the new kid around!" Rhythmi said.

"So, you see that black haired emerald eyed girl there? The one with the ponytail? Well, that's Gianna Gerulia, the girl Rhythmi thinks that Issac likes instead of her. She's Mr. Kincaid's pet. I'm not a big fan of any of them." Naomi said.

Rhythmi dragged us out of the classroom before Mr. Kincaid can yell his head off. And I heard from Naomi that he has a voice that can reach the region of Unova in 15 seconds.

"So, now I'll take you to the Library." Rhythmi said as we walked down the quiet hallway.

Naomi then whispered something to me.

"That's where Issac is during free period. Maybe we can get her to talk to him there." Naomi whispered.

We both had devious smirks on our faces, but Rhythmi had no clue as to why we were smirking like that.

Then, I felt two hands snake up my green school blazer and grab a hold of my boobs.

"! Let me go!" I screamed as the person began to grope them in their hands.

Rhythmi and Naomi turned around and gasped.

"K...Kate?" Naomi nearly screamed.

"Keith, stop it!" Rhythmi said sternly.

However, Keith didn't let go as I tried to wriggle out of his grasp.

"Well, I'm impressed. Naomi screams turned into moans when I did it to her, Jayla surrendered and I almost knocked her up when I did it to her, and Rhythmi came when I did it to her. But with you...you're completely denying the fact that you're enjoying it." Keith said.

"I'm not, so go away!" I yelped.

Keith smirked before pulling me towards him so that my back was against my chest.

"Stop denying it. Besides, by the time I finish what I'm about to do with you, you'll be thinking about nothing but me all night." he whispered in my ear seductively.

I couldn't take it anymore as my face flushed and I tugged away from him.

Naomi caught me before I could hit the wood floor.

"I will never surrender to you, Keith!" I hissed before standing up.

"Hah! Well, at least I got this." he said before spinning MY strapless bra around his index finger.

I fumed.

"KEITH!" I screamed as he laughed, scampering away towards our classroom.

Mr. Kincaid then walked out into the hallway and his eyes turned into slits once he saw us.

"And no screaming in the hallway!" he commanded.

"Eeeeek! Sorry, Mr. Kincaid!" Rhythmi apologized nervously before pulling me towards the library.

As Rhythmi opened the door, she bumped into a guy with mushroom styled blond hair and deep blue eyes.

"Hey, is everything alright?" he asked.

"What do you mean, Issac?" she asked.

"Well, I heard someone screaming and so, I just had to come and see if the person was alright." Issac explained.

"It was just Kate, the new student in our class. Keith was being the perv he is and was messing with her, which made her scream. And also, Kate accidentally scratched me really hard, which made me let out a small scream of my own." Rhythmi explained.

Issac said nothing as he pulled her towards him and hugged her tightly.

"I don't care if you got a small scratch about the size of your hair. All I'm worried about is if you're alright." he said.

Rhythmi blushed heavily as she took in the smell of chemicals and old books.

"It's just a small scratch on my wrist. Nothing serious." she told him.

"I'm glad." he said before letting go of her and putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Well, I gotta go now. I'll see you later." he said before walking off to Mr. Kincaid's classroom and leaving Rhythmi in a daze.

"Um...Rhythmi?" Naomi asked as she waved her hand in Rhythmi's face.

Rhythmi still didn't wake up from her daze. She obviously still thought that Issac was staring at her with that brotherly look on his face.

Naomi sighed before dragging me into the library.

"This is the library. Or as me and Rhythmi like to call it, Keith's nap room. This is where Issac likes to come during free period to go research on dream energy. There's also Ponte, but we all like to call him "Marshmallow Boy". And then there's Raina Zeko, Jayla's snobby sister. I wished that she was never born." Naomi rolled her eyes at the very thought of Raina as we walked out of the library to see Rhythmi running around while calling out out names.

"Kate? Naomi?" she called out.

Naomi laughed, which made Rhythmi turn around.

She pouted.

"Where were you two?" she whined.

"While you were going gaga over Issac, I showed Kate the library and I was about to go show her the Staff Room." Naomi explained.

"Well, let's hurry up!" Rhytmi said before heading over to the Staff Room.

She opened the door and we walked in.

"This is the Staff Room. Most of time, our principal, Mr. Lamont, is in here working on paperwork, since most of the teachers are teaching us, of course." Rhythmi explained.

Naomi dragged us out of the Staff Room and I began to wander towards the staits that led down.

"We're not allowed to go down there, Kate." Rhythmi pointed out.

I arched up an eyebrow in confusion.

"Huh? Why not?" I questioned.

"That's Mr. Kincaid's office down there. We're not allowed to go down there or else Mr. Kincaid will have a cow." Naomi pointed out.

"So, let's go upstairs." Rhythmi said as she disappeared up the stairs.

Me and Naomi both shrugged our shoulders before following Rhythmi up the stairs into a cozy room.

"Wow...! What is this place?" I asked.

"These are our dorm rooms. The girls dorms are on the left side and the boys dorms are on the right side." Rhythmi said while pointing at each dorm room door.

I guess that you can tell because the girl's dorm room door is pink and the guy's dorm room door is blue.

"Janice is our caretaker. She's like a mom to everyone here. With Keith, he's like putty in Janice's hands." Rhythmi said, which made me and Naomi both laugh at the thought of Keith being a pink puddle of putty in Janice's hand.

As we headed downstairs, the bell rang.

"And so, that concludes Rhythmi and Naomi's awesome and outstanding tour of the Ranger School!" Rhythmi and Naomi declared together.

I laughed.

"So, let's go outside now!" Naomi said.

"Eh? Why?" I asked.

"We usually go outside and while we're at it, we also eat lunch outside." Rhythmi explained before dragging us outside.

"Oh, and before we eat lunch, do you know anything about Target Clears?" Rhythmi asked.

I looked at her with a confused look on my face.

Rhythmi laughed.

"So, I guess you don't know. Let's go to the training cabin. I'm sure that Claire will be able to teach you how to do Target Clears." Rhythmi said as we walked into the training cabin.

Kaplan's jaw dropped once he saw us.

"Hey! It's the girl that thought that the Ranger styler was the knife that you swirl mixtures for marble cake!" Kaplan exclaimed before bursting into laughter.

We all sweat dropped.

"Huh...?" Rhythmi and Naomi wondered out loud.

"You're still thinking about that...?" I asked incredulously.

"Yes, I am." Kaplan said, which made me fall down anime style.

Claire walked up to Kaplan and whacked him on the back of the head.

"Kaplan! You know better!" she hissed.

"Sorry..." he muttered under his breath.

Naomi helped me up.

"Are you alright, Kate?" she asked.

I nodded.

"Yup! I'm as good as new!" I declared happily.

"Anyway, we need your help Claire." Rhythmi said, getting straight to the point.

Claire looked at Rhythmi.

"My help?" she questioned.

Rhythmi nodded.

"Yes. Kate doesn't know how to do a Target Clear or what a Target Clear is!" Rhythmi exclaimed as she pointed at me.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Is it my fault?" I asked.

Naomi sighed.

"I highly doubt it..." Naomi trailed off.

"Okay! Kate, you see that crate over there?" Claire asked.

I nodded.

"Yes." I said.

"Then, look at my friend, Bidoof." Claire pointed at the Bidoof.

"Okay..." I trailed off.

"So, I want you to point your Styler at the Bidoof and draw a straight line towards the crate." Claire pointed out.

I whipped out my Styler and pointed it at Bidoof. I then drew a straight line from the Bidoof to the crate.

"Now say: Bidoof, use Target Clear on that crate." Claire instructed.

"Bidoof! Use Target Clear on that crate!" I exclaimed.

The Bidoof charged into the crate and smashed it into smaller pieces.

"You did it, Kate!" Rhythmi and Naomi exclaimed.

"So, that's how you do it. Be sure to come back if you're confused." Claire said.

"Thanks, Claire! We really appreciate it." Rhythmi thanked Claire.

"Ah, it's no problem at all." Claire said with a sheepish look on her face.

"Well, we gotta go and eat lunch. After that, I gotta show you this awesome place by the water!" Rhythmi said as we all headed to the door.

Before Naomi can open the door, we heard a bunch of screams and a bunch of Bidoofs scattering around on the school yard.

Me-And that's the first chapter!

Keith-*yawns* You took too ~!

Me-Ah shaddup, Keith.

Kate-This story is gonna get interesting, folks!

Issac-So, please stick around for the ride!

Rhythmi and Naomi-And can you also please- - -

Me-BTW, everyone is fiffteen in this one. Just so that you have an idea as to how old they are.
