Kates' P.O.V
"KATHERINE ATREYA JONES GET OUT OF BED THIS INSTANT!" my mother, Freya yelled at me, I groaned as I felt a weight on my bed, my sister Remi was climbing onto me, as per usual.
"Wake up Big Sister, you're going to the Ranger School today aren't you?" she asked me, at that I shot out of bed, got dressed in the Ranger School uniform they sent me, rushed down the stairs, picking Remi up along the way, and jumped into my chair in the kitchen, literally. My mother laughed at me as I did so, I then saw the time, I didn't have to be leaving for another hour and half, my family probably just wanted to spend a little more time with me.
"Well, someone's excited this morning," my father, Adir, said to me, I nodded my head.
"Who wouldn't be?" I asked, my pigtails slipping off my head, my mother laughed at me, she then came around to fix them, I didn't complain, my pigtails were like my signature trade mark, after my Ranger Pose that is. Remi came bouncing over to us; her blonde hair copied her actions, in the family Remi takes after our mother, while I take after our dad.
Remi had blonde waist length hair, she normally had it in curls, she had sparkling blue eyes and you would almost always catch her in blue and white, right now she was wearing a blue and white dress, I smiled at her.
I, however, have brown hair with matching eyes, my brown hair's spikey from an incident that happened a long time ago, involving an electric type pokemon that I tried to help, yeah it didn't end well for me. Like I said, I was wearing the Ranger Schools uniform, it suited me perfectly.
"So is Summerlands' Gift ready for her first day of school?" My sister asked me, I smiled at her, the reason she called me that, well I have a way with pokemon, there always used to be rampaging Sharpedo on the outskirts of the town, I was always the one to calm them down, but because of it, some people have come to Summerland looking for the gift, of course they've never found it.
"Why did you wake me up early anyway?" I asked them, my mom laughed at me.
"We wanted to see you off honey," she said, I nodded my head as I bit into one of my sisters' pancakes, she pouted at me but I opened my mouth and she dumped the syrup in my mouth, I laughed at her as I tried to swallow it all, soon I was choking on it, my mother laughed as she took it away from Remi, who again pouted, I would miss this.
"Well, I said looking at the time, I have about thirty minutes to spare," I said, my mom looked at me.
"Did you pack your sketch book?" she asked me, I looked at her, opened my mouth, closed it, stood up and bolted up the stairs. I came back down five minutes later with the sketch book in hand; I smiled as I grabbed my suitcase and bags. We then walked out of our house and to the port, where the ship to Almia was, I turned to my family and hugged them, everyone from Summerland was around, watching, I looked at Remi.
"I'll write, and keep Summerland safe for me," I said, she nodded her head.
"I will Big Sister," she said as she hugged me back, I felt tears welling up in my eyes, but didn't let them fall, I turned to my mom.
"Try not to kill Remi while I'm gone," I said, she nodded her head as I turned to my dad.
"Keep mom and Remi safe," I said as I hugged him, he laughed at me.
"I will," he said, just when I thought I was done our family pokemon, Glaceon, came running out to me, I looked at her.
"Hey girl," I said as I petted her, she made a whiny noise, my dad looked at the two of us.
"How about you take her, it's too hot for her to come out here by herself," he said, "I've heard Almia's quite cool this time of year," I looked at my mom who nodded her head, Remi smiled as she petted Glaceon.
"Take care of her Big Sister," she said, I nodded my head before me and Glaceon boarded the ship. I walked to get my room number for the journey before going out to the back of the deck, I smiled as I saw Summerland watching everyone off, people were on this ship for holidays, I would be the only one getting off at the third or fourth stop. I smiled as we all waved to everyone, soon the ship departed from the docks and we were off.
I walked through the halls looking for my room number, along the way I ran into many people from Summerland and the other cities in Fiore, it was fun, in Fiore, don't ask me how, but everyone knew each other, you were comfortable around each other. I smiled once I found my room, the trip to Almia, was about eight maybe nine hours, so I grabbed my sketch pad, looking in my bag, I saw Glaceons' pokeball was already in it, I smiled, dad must have snuck it in, oh well.
I walked around the deck, sketching random things until the overcome said we were docking in Pueltown in Almia, I grabbed my bags, handed my keys back to the front desk, grabbed my suitcase and waiting for my older brother, once I saw a big afro I shook my head.
"Katherine," my brother, Crawford, said, he was four years older than me, leading him to be seventeen, going on eighteen, yes I was only thirteen, honestly I wasn't even supposed to be in the Ranger School for another year, so everyone there would be fourteen going on fifteen. I smiled as I hit him over the head with my sketch pad.
"The name's Kate, not Katherine," I said to him, he laughed at me.
"Nice to see you too," he said as he hugged me, I rolled my eyes but hugged him back nonetheless, it was nice seeing him again, he's been over here since he was fourteen, seeing him at all the holidays, but other than that, we hadn't seen him much. He had a Venusaur with him, I looked at him, then the pokemon, I placed my hands on my hips.
"Crawford," I said to him, he smiled innocently at me.
"He's here to help, aren't you Venusaur?" Crawford asked, the pokemon looked at us both and nodded its head, it then used its vines to pick my stuff up, I grabbed my carryon bag though. We then began walking through Vein forest to Vein town, then from Vein town to the Ranger School, once we were there a man with grey hair, wearing a brown suit greeted us, Glaceon growled at the man.
"Glaceon down," I ordered, Glaceon obeyed the man looked at me.
"I'm sorry we do not allow partner pokemon," he said, I looked at him.
"She's not a partner, she's my familys' pokemon, I have a pokeball for her," I said, the man looked at us, then Glaceon, who nudged his leg, the man smiled.
"Alright I'll allow her, Janice, please take Miss Jones' stuff up to her room, get the pokemon to help you," he ordered, a woman with brown hair, Janice, I assumed nodded her head and took my stuff, I kept my carryon with me though, I won't let nobody touch it. I smiled as the man introduced himself.
"My name is Mr Lamont, I am your principle," he said, I smiled at him and shook his hand.
"Pleased to meet you my name's Katherine Jones, but please call me Kate," I said, the older man nodded his head as he showed me to where I had to perform my capture, I turned to Crawford.
"I'll miss ya sis," he said, I smiled as I hugged him.
"I'll miss ya too bro, see ya soon," I said as he left without another word, I turned to the building, "So this is where I do my capture?" I asked Mr Lamont, who nodded, I smiled as I walked in, Mr Lamont went somewhere else, probably to tell my new teacher I was here, once I went into the building I saw greeted by a man, a hat covered his eyes so I couldn't see what he looked like.
"Your job, is to capture that Pikachu," he told me, I nodded as I looked at the Pikachu, my eyes flashed white for a second, as did the Pikachus' then I began the capture, I probably should mention I had the Capture Styler in my bag with me.
Mr Lamont walked into a class room with five people in it, the entire class turned to look at him, the woman at the front, in her mid-twenties, with reddish hair smiled at him.
"Mr Lamont, what brings you in here?" she asked, Mr Lamont looked at the class then the woman.
"Ms April, as you are aware you have a new student joining your class today, she has arrived and will be done with her capture soon," he explained, the woman, Ms April, nodded her head as Mr Lamont went out.
"Cool a new student," a blonde haired girl said, Ms April nodded her head.
"Yes, Rythmi, if I remember correctly she's sharing a room with you," Ms April said, the girl, Rythmi nodded her head.
"Not cool, it's just a new girl, bet she'll be like all the rest," a boy with red spikey hair said, Ms April turned to the boy.
"What do you mean by that Keith?" she asked, the boy, Keith, smirked.
"That she's going to be another whiney little-,"
"Language," Ms April warned, Keith rolled his eyes.
"Whenever I challenge her, like the rest of them," Keith said gesturing to the other girls, Rythmi rolled her eyes at him, Ms April did so to.
"Well I better go and welcome our new guest, please feel free to talk among yourselves while I'm gone, and Keith, no pranks," Ms April warned, Keith only shrugged as he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
"Capture complete," Kate said once she caught the Pikachu in front of her, Glaceon, who had been stood to the side, came to stand next to her, the man in front of her chuckled.
"Excellent, you are now officially part of my secret army to take over the world," the man said, Glaceon growled as Kate looked at him blankly.
"MR KAPLAN!" Ms April yelled as she threw the door open, Kate jumped a little in shock, while Glaceon jumped into her arms, "I have told you time and time again NOT to harass my student with that stupid story," she said to him, the man, Mr Kaplan, began to panic, Kate just looked at Glaceon.
"Seems like he does this kinda thing a lot," she said as she set Glaceon down, Ms April then turned to Kate.
"My name's Ms April, I will be your teacher until you graduate," she said, Kate nodded her head, Ms April then noticed the Glaceon besides Kate, Kate looked at Glaceon.
"Ah she's a family pokemon, Mr Lamont knows about her," she said, "My name's Kate by the way," she added on, Ms April nodded her head.
"Very well, let's go and meet the rest of your class for the next year or so," she said, Kate nodded her head as she followed the woman out the room, grabbing her bag along the way, she turned to Mr Kaplan on the way out.
"Yo Kaplan, great story, you really had me going," she yelled before running after Ms April, Mr Kaplan smiled to himself.
Once Ms April and Kate were in the school, they walked towards their class room, Ms April turned to Kate, who stopped.
"Wait here," she said, Kate cocked a brown, she looked at Glaceon.
"Must like to make people do an entrance," Kate shrugged, Glaceon laughed, Kate looked at her, "Don't you dare," she said, Glaceon shrunk back from her.
"Now class as you've already been told you have a new student, here she is, would you come in dear?" Ms April called, Kate shrugged as she set her bag on her shoulder, she walked in with Glaceon at her tail, Ms April smiled at her, "Introduce yourself dear," she said, again Kate looked at Glaceon, this time Glaceon shrugged, Kate mimicked her actions and turned to the class.
"My name's Kate Jones, I move here from Fiore to become a Pokemon Ranger, nice to meet you all," she said, she heard a scoff come from her left, turning her head she saw a boy with red hair looking at her.
"Yeah, you'll definitely be like the rest," he said to himself, Kate glared at the boy, while Glaceon growled.
"Glaceon, down," Kate ordered, Glaceon obeyed, "Look Red, you don't know Jack-,"
"Language," Ms April warned, Kate shrugged.
"You don't know Jack about me, so if I were you I'd shut your mouth, I've only just met you and I can already tell you shoot your mouth off like you own the place, so here's a piece of advice, do it near me, your face will be embedded in the floor, or walls, understand?" Kate asked, Keith stared at her in shock, she wasn't like the other girls, who just cheered for her, Kate smiled as she picked Glaceon up.
"Well Kate, please take a seat next to Keith," she said, Kate looked at the boy she just told off.
"Take it that's Red?" she asked, Ms April nodded her head, Kate did as told and sat down next to him, Keith only smirked to himself, this would be an interesting year.
I know I already have one of these posted, but I was reading through the Kate/Keith section last night, I don't think there's enough where Keith's a bit of a jerk, so I've made one up, if I get tired of it or don't like it, I'll take it down or put it up for adoption or whatever, but until then please REVIEW :D
