Disclaimer: I don't need one of these do I? Eh. I'm puttin' one anyway. I don't own Pokemon or the titular creatures themselves. I do own the OCs in this fic, however.
"We will be preparing to land on Pokémon Archipelago soon. Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for landing."
"Aww," A young, whiny voice spoke to himself. "It's over already." This young man was named Aldo Lesser. He was a fifteen year-old boy with boy with messy brown hair and fair skin. He wore a light blue vest over himself with dark blue shorts that reached down to his knees. Despite his short-size and slim figure, he was actually very muscular and looked rather athletic. He had a very child-like face.
"Linoone, Linoone," The Linoone that was laid out on the floor, napping, muttered. Yawning and stretching its short arms, rubbing its eyes in order to see properly.
"But Guma, I've never been on a plane before," Aldo responded to the Linoone. A big, toothy grin spread across his face and continued staring out of the window. "The food could be a lot better, that's for sure. But, being in the air like this is just so crazy, y'know?" The linoone made a noise that sounded like exasperation and climbed onto the seat's arm, staring out of the window with his trainer. "Man, the others are gonna be so jealous when I tell them about this. Can't wait to tell them all about it."
The plane slowly flew through the white, puffy clouds and Aldo could slightly make out the faint outlines of multiple islands. He gasped and pressed his face further into the curved window. The islands of the archipelago were all scattered except for three in particular. Three separate islands were configured together to create the shape of a poke-ball. So cool, Aldo's grin widened Wonder how they did that?. The three central poke-ball islands were huge and it didn't take a genius for Aldo to figure out that the center of the "poke-ball" was his destination.
"The Pokémon Academy!" Aldo exclaimed quietly to himself. "Can you believe it, Guma!? I was actually accepted after I sent in my evaluation. Even when I came from a no-name place like Skewtrunk Island."
The Linoone let out a snort and leaned against his trainer.
Aldo stared at one of the poke-balls on his hip. Don't worry Ms. Floyd, I won't let ya down.
"We have now landed on Pokemon Archipelago. Please grab your luggage and exit the plane. Thank you for flying with Hoenn Airlines."
Aldo sighed dramatically, saddened that the plane ride was over while Guma rolled his eyes at his trainer. "Linoone, Li."
"Hey, you're right. What am I sad about the plane ride being over for? I'm about to join the Pokémon Academy!" Aldo instantly snapped out of his semi-depression and grabbed his luggage. Guma hopped on to the boy's shoulder as he practically dashed out of the airport.
Okay, I won't lie. This has started out a little slow and odd, but just wait a sec.
Yeah I know, Pokemon Academy concept, super original. But it's a concept I feel I can work with better than the proper Pokemon formula, so I'll do my best to set this fic apart from the others.
Yes, I am using other fics as templates for a little while until I can handle the story without training wheels. I'm not going to straight up take things from others, but it will appear similar. I will try my best to keep you from seeing the similarities and twist it into my own original creation.
Alright, if you're reading this so far, please review and give me your thoughts. I will be uploading the second chapter sooner more than later because this chapter was exceptionally slow and boring.
