Shadows of Almia - Chapter 1

I stared at the styler in my hands. Professor Kaplan had said to use it to capture the Pikachu. I knew I could do it, I was just too nervous. I gulped and looked at the Pikachu staring back at me. I took the school styler into a firm grip and held it up. I clicked the button on the side that unleashed the whip. "Capture on!" I screamed out. I clicked the other button and the disc went flying toward the Pikachu. I put on my serious face and did like I practiced. I didn't come here from Fiore for nothing.

I started motioning my hand around in front of my body in a circle-like motion, and the disc followed it, but circled around the Pikachu. The styler whip started glowing blue, creating a giant glowing blue halo. I hit the halo with the glowing whip and it surrounded the Pikachu. "Capture complete!" I said. The halo shrunk into the Pikachu and left a sparkle surrounding it.

Pikachu smiled and said, "Chu!" I grinned from ear to ear. I was in the Ranger School. My trip from Fiore to Almia wasn't for nothing. The disc quickly returned back to its slot in my school styler. I looked at Kaplan. He was a tall, goofy kind of guy with light brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a blue long sleeved shirt under a sleeveless dark blue jacket with yellow lining. He had baggy jeans on and matching sneakers.

"Nice job Kate." He smiled a like an idiot. "Thanks professor." I smiled back. "So now I'm officially part of the school?" I asked. "Yes," said a voice. I turned around to see two women standing at the door. One was wearing matching attire to Kaplan, except her sleeves for her shirt were up to her elbows and she had shorts. She had the same brown hair but had blue eyes. The other lady was wearing a teal colored skirt and a pink sleeveless shirt.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Ms. Claire." The lady in the matching clothes said with a smile. She walked over to me happily with the red-head following behind her. "Good morning, I'll be your teacher, Ms. April." The red-head smiled at me with her sparkling green eyes. I smiled back. "I hope to have a great time here." I said.

"Well, we'll see you later, because you need to get to class," said Ms. Claire. Ms. April nodded. "C'mon, I'll show you to the classroom." She started walking out the door as I followed. We we're outside of the Ranger School. We walked through the lush green grass as some Pokemon walked away. We entered the main school building and Ms. April entered her classroom. She told me to wait outside and come in when she said so, so I just waited.

"Good morning, class!" said Ms. April. "Good morning!" responded the class of thirteen-year-olds. "We have a new student today." Ms. April continued. Every face in the classroom lit up. "Is it a boy or a girl?" "Do they look like a movie star?" asked many kids. "Are they cute?"

"Quiet down, and find out for yourself." Ms. April said, motioning toward the door. I opened it and walked through to where my new teacher was standing. "Hi. I'm Kate." I announced. I looked around the classroom. All the boys were looking bored or were gazing at me with red cheeks.

Except for one of them, he had dark red spiky hair and short bangs that nearly reached his eyes. Instead, he had this foolish grin on his face. The girls were all welcoming me with a smile, especially this one girl who had sparkly blonde hair. Her smile was brilliant and she looked like she smiled a lot.

"You may take your seat next to Keith." Ms. April said. She motioned her hand to the boy who was grinning in an evil way. I walked over to the chair next to him and sat down. "Now, you may acquaintance with the new student and Rythmi, will you please give Kate a tour?" asked Ms. April. The girl with the blonde hair smiled. "Of course."

"Thank you. Now if you will, I have a meeting to attend." Ms. April sighed as she exited the room. Suddenly, everyone got out of their chairs and surrounded me. Rythmi and Keith were standing by my sides. "Well, what's your name? Anyways, how long did it take you to capture the Pikachu? Like an hour?" asked Keith. I glared at him, "Three minutes." He recoiled, biting his lip, red pulling on his cheeks.

"Don't mind him, he's always like that." Rythmi popped up. "Nice to meet you." She outstretched her hand. I shook it. "Pleasure," I smiled. "So, uh, can I get the grand tour?" I asked sheepishly. Rythmi nodded and we exited the room with smiles. Keith smiled like a fool. "She's gonna be a great rival," he said to himself.
