Hey, everyone! Here's my first Ranger Story!

Sven: Yeah… and you're gonna give me a really tragic and gory backstory, aren't ya?

Eh… Kinda.

*Studio door bursts open, and in storms Bad Girl*

Bad Girl: HEY! I THOUGHT I WAS YOUR CO-HOST!

The truth is I have multiple co-hosts… And you're usually my co-host for No More Heroes Stories. Now shut up and go to your room!

Bad Girl: *Storms out muttering unrepeatable nonsense under her breath*

Sven: Shall we get on with the story?

… Now's a good idea. By the way, I do not own Pokémon. It is property of Satoshi- um… What was his name again?

Cast: GET ON WITH THE STORY!

Pokémon Ranger: The Element Guardians

1. A New Student

A red-haired woman named Amanda April walked up to the blackboard. She was a teacher at the Pokémon Ranger School, so she was referred to by the students as "Ms. April". She turned around and faced the students. A few of them are the following: Wendy Phoenix, Spencer Phoenix (Wendy's brother), Elita Blizzard, Cameron Sun, Joel Pierson and Chris Stuart. They all wanted to be Pokémon Rangers, but a student by the name of Amy Mayer wanted to become an Operator, along with a few other boys and girls. The others wanted to become Mechanics.

Ms. April scanned the classroom, making sure they were all getting on with their work.

Ms. April was a kindly teacher and was easy to like, but of course she has an explosive temper. Some say she blows up at some students at least three times a day.

Now, as the students finished their work, Ms. April then announced: "Class. Today we have a new student."

The classroom, which was beginning to be filled with chatter, fell silent. The students then began to whisper to each other.

"Is the new student a boy or a girl?" One student whispered to her friend that sat next to her.

"Is the new student cool? Or like a celebrity or something?" Spencer whispered to Joel who pushed his glasses back on his face before replying.

"I highly doubt the new student would be like a celebrity... but someone who is "cool" could cause an uproar in our group if the new student is quite cold towards others."

Ms. April clapped her hands, silencing the students.

"Now, now, class. You will find out soon enough." She then looked towards the door and said: "You can come in now, honey!"

The door creaked open and in stepped a boy, roughly around Spencer's age, with raven hair with chin-length bangs that framed his face and hazel eyes. He wore the same uniform as the boys. He, however, wore a bandana around his neck to replace the tie that came with the uniform. He was also much shorter than boys his age.

All eyes stared at him. Wendy noticed a pendant around his neck. It was in the shape of a dewdrop, with black in the center and blue around the edges. It held a spiritual, somewhat ominous air to it. He also wore gloves.

The boy felt slightly nervous when everyone stared at him.

He slowly approached Ms April who greeted him with a sunny smile.

Funnily enough, Amy had an allergy to Dogs, and Dog-like Pokémon. She began to sneeze uncontrollably as he passed.

"Class, this is Sven Frost. He's come all the way from Unova to be here." Ms April introduced.

"He's a Unovan?" One boy whispered.

"He doesn't look like one. He's waaaaayyyyyy too short." Another boy whispered back.

Sven heard them clearly.

Sven cocked his head to one side and glanced over to the boy. Most of the girls went "Aaaawwwwww" at how puppy-like he looked.

The boy who questioned where Sven came from immediately shut up when he noticed how... inhuman Sven's gaze was.

Sven hummed. He was going to like this place.

Ms April told Sven where he'd sit, which was next to Elita, resulting in a slightly jealous look from Spencer and a snicker from Joel. ("Jealous, Spenser?" Is what Joel would say when Spencer had a jealous look on his face.)

"Now. Today will be a free study session. I will be in the staff room if you need anything." Ms April announced. She then turned to Joel. "Joel? Would you kindly show Sven around the school premises?"

"Will do, Ms April." Was Joel's reply.

Ms April nodded, happy about Joel's reply, before turning and leaving the classroom.

The moment she set foot outside of the room, all the students gathered around Sven.

"What's it like in Unova?" One girl asked

"Why do you wear that bandana around your neck?" A boy asked

"Are you going to become a Ranger, Mechanic or Operator?" Another girl piped in.

"What's with the gloves?" Another boy piped in, an eager tone in his voice.

"Alright, everyone. Get back. We don't want to scare the poor kid." Cameron told the students that gathered around Sven. Cameron was, in a way, the "Mother Hen" of Ms. April's class. He seemed to be the only one who kept the others out of fights and was, quite frankly, the only one who didn't want Sven to be startled by the students' eagerness to learn about him… Plus Wendy, Joel, Elita and Chris, of course.

All the students murmured amongst themselves before heading off to study.

Sven let out a sigh, closing his hazel eyes.

Cameron sat down on a chair in front of Sven.

"Heh. Sorry about that, bud. They all get over excited when a new student comes here." Cameron apologised, laughing slightly.

Sven cocked his head to one side, as though he were confused.

Elita turned to the new boy.

"So... I know this a little sudden, but do you want to be an Operator, Mechanic or Ranger?"

Sven replied by rooting through his bag and pulling out a sketch pad and a few pencils. He sketched a picture of a Styler. He then showed the rather quick sketch to Elita, who nodded, showing she understood he wanted to be a Ranger.

"Pretty quiet, isn't he, sis?" Spencer muttered to Wendy, who poked him on the forehead.

"He's only new, dummy. He needs to settle in. Plus he doesn't know any of the Pokémon here, so it may be pretty frightening for him." Wendy hissed quietly.

Joel approached Sven. Sven turned away from his cloud watching to face Joel.

"Sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. My name's Joel Pierson."Joel apologised "Anyways, Ms April asked me to show you around the school premises."

Sven nodded and followed Joel, who had begun to leave the room.

Joel led Sven to the classroom next door which was Mr. Kincaid's classroom. Sven was reluctant to go in when Joel opened the door. He appeared pretty appalled by the smell, but Joel told him it was only hairspray, which Mr Kincaid used a lot of to get his hair into its signature curly fashion.

"What is it, Joel?" Mr. Kincaid asked, an irritated tone in his voice.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm just showing the new student around." Joel apologised, brushing aside his fringe which had fallen over his left eye.

"Well make sure to tell him this: There will be no, I repeat, no running in the hallways, Joel." Kincaid told Joel who nodded his head, showing he understood. Mr. Kincaid then changed the subject. "By the way... Who is the new student?"

Joel turned around and led Sven into the room. All the students turned to face him. One boy waved to Sven, and Sven (hesitantly) waved back.

"His name's Sven Frost. He's come all the way from Unova to be here." Joel introduced.

Mr. Kincaid nodded his head in greeting, and Sven nodded back.

After the introduction to Mr. Kincaid's classroom, Joel led Sven to the library (also known as Cameron's nap room), the staffroom (introducing him to Mr. Lamont, the principle) and upstairs to where the dorms were. When Sven had gestured to the basement one time, so Joel told him it was off limits. He even stated that some students call it "Mr Kincaid's Secret Lair". Sven couldn't help but snicker in a Zorua-like way to himself.

Joel introduced Sven to Janice, the caretaker, who seemed to notice Sven's Pokémon-like eyes but didn't point it out in case it was personal.

Finally Sven was led outside. He was given a more detailed explanation of how the School Styler works, how to capture Pokémon and Target Clears by Ms. Claire and Mr. Kaplan and shown to Ascension Square where the Pledge Stone stood. A Taillow had taken a keen interest in the new boy. Sven had took in this information and analysed it. He came to the conclusion that, despite its quirks, Almia would be a nice place to become a Ranger. Sven also happened to like the fact Mr. Kaplan would act as though the school was secretly an organisation that was planning on taking over the world. He found it amusing the first time Mr. Kaplan acted like it was, only to be shut up by Ms. April who told him to "Stop scaring the new student".

That's my first chapter done! Hope you all liked it!

Sven: WHY THE HELL AM I THE SILENT KID?! I THOUGHT THAT WAS CHRIS' ACT!

Chris: YEAH!

Just… shut up and go eat some noodles or something… Or go and terrorize Travis for all I care… DO SOMETHING, DAMNIT!

Chris: *Leaves*

… Why aren't you leaving, Mr. Frost?

Sven: If I told you Travis attempts to kill me every five minutes… and his last attempt was four minutes ago… would you let me stay? This is the only place where I'm safe.

Ugh… FINE.

Sven: By the way, next update's gonna be quick!
