[A/N this is a remake of the Poké academy. So stuff the last notice, I have all the info from previous chapters, but if you are missing do say. Full summary inside. Advanceshipping, Childhoodshipping and more.]
Me: Hi ya guys! This is the remake of Poké academy. This is the new summary:
Gemma is the new girl; she thinks she will be all alone in her new school. But when she meets a few old friends and some new ones, she finds herself fitting in a lot quicker that she thought. Advanceshipping, Cavaliershipping, OCxOC.
Me: Now, there will still be the same basic plot from last time, but WAY better. It will take me a while to get as far as in the other story, but some will be copied and pasted in, like battles and descriptions. And this also means th previous version is on haitus. SO here we go!
Chapter 1
A young girl sat up in a beautiful Sakura tree, swinging her jean clad legs back and forth. Her dark, wavy brunette hair flew around her shoulder's and pale features, her bright yellow eyes easily her most distinct feature. Her red and black tartan shirt was covered in the petals from her beloved tree.
The silence was broken by the calls of a small Chimchar in one of the higher branches. The girl looked up and smiled weakly at her Pokémon.
"Gemma dear! We have to go!" Came her mother's voice. The girl sighed and hopped down from the tree, grabbing her glasses from the floor, Chimchar hopping to her shoulder.
Gemma was moving to a new region, a new town and a new school, leaving her current friends behind her. A little ginger girl ran over to her, grabbing her arm and pulling.
"C'mon sissy mommy calling!" That's Louise, her little sister and only one of her 4 siblings. She also has a baby brother, an older sister and an older brother, though the two older ones are off on a journey.
"I'm coming Lou." Gemma sighed. She allowed the little 5 year old to drag her to the car.
Gemma took her little brother from her mother's arms, strapping the somehow raven haired boy into his car seat and going to the other side of the car to climb in herself. She opened the car door, but before climbing in she turned and looked at her childhood home, it was average but she loved it. No matter what anyone made her do, where they made her go, the quaint little home in Petalburg would always be her home.
"Gemma get in!" Her father called. Sighing she turned from the home and climbed up into the 4x4 next to her sister. "Well, here we go! Off to Kanto we go!"
Does god really hate me that much!? Gemma thought. We get to leave the sunniest region around, for the rainiest! I'm gonna miss Kim...
Gemma stared out of the window as they drove through the streets of Petalburg. Just as they were almost out of town she caw Kim playing with her Pokémon and Jordan. Quickly she wound down the window and waved.
"Bye!" She called. The two girls turned to her and grinned.
"BYE!" They waved. The friends yelled to each other for as long as they could before Gemma was out of the town and heading to the car ferry.
When she lost sight of her friends Gemma wound up the window and slumped into her seat. "I hate this."
"We all know that, dear." Her mother said.
"You don't care do you though?"
"This is a great job opportunity for your father; we need as much money as we can with such a large family. You know that."
"I know I know." She slumped further, her hair almost making her unable to see.
"Why don't you hug Mr. Potato? He always makes me feel better!" Louise said, shoving her 'pet' potato into Gemma's face.
"You let her bring it?" Gemma groaned.
"We couldn't stop her." Her father said. Gemma groaned again.
"He may make you feel better but he also makes you very smelly, so I'll pass." Louise just shrugged and hugged the uncooked (luckily) potato to her chest. Chimchar jumped onto his trainer's lap, his everstone still dangling from his neck. "Hey buddy."
"Chim Charr!" He cheered, Gemma giggled.
"Can you calm him down, Gem?" Her mom said. Gemma frowned.
"So Lou gets to keep the smelly potato but Chim can't try to cheer me up? Gee, favouritism or what." Gemma grumbled.
The journey was a long one, and soon everyone, other than their father, found themselves drifting off. Louise yawned and leaned her head on her sister's shoulder, Gemma smiled and leant her head onto her sisters and slowly fell asleep herself.
When she awoke she could see the border of Pallet Town just coming into clear view.
"Ugh... how long have I been out?" She yawned.
"About 6 hours."
"Damn." She groaned. Louise stirred soon after, sitting up and yawning herself.
"Yay! We almost home!" She cheered.
"Home is 6 hours in the other direction." She was ignored.
In only a matter of minutes they pulled up outside the new house. Her father climbed out and opened the car door to Gemma before going round and grabbing the babbling Andy from his seat, currently the baby was trying to eat his own snot.
Gemma got out and looked up at the white house.
"Wow..." she gasped.
It was huge. The walls were made of white brick, the door was modern, but it looked very expensive. The windows were large, letting in plenty of light.
At one side there was a large garage, also made of white brick. It was amazing on the outside, she had to admit, but she had yet to see the inside.
"C'mon Gemmy!" Louise said, grabbing her wrists and dragging her in. The hallway was thin, but it had several doors leading off it. Each door had a label.
At the end of the corridor it said 'Staircase'. Off to her left it said 'Living Room' to her right was 'Bathroom'; next to the living room were 'Kitchen' and 'Dining Room'.
Louise dragged Gemma into the living room; it was a black and white theme.
"Hey, hey, hey! Lemme go, Lou!" Gemma said. Louise let go. "Thank you. MOM! What time is it?"
"7:45. I'll have dinner ready soon!"
"K!" Gemma called as she ran up the stairs. There was a bathroom, a nursery for Andy, Louise's room (where she was now playing), the master bedroom and then there was her room.
"Oh my god!" Gemma cheered. The room was in her favourite colours, red and black. The bed was a double, covered in black musical notes with a white background. Her laptop had already been placed on a black desk and all her drawing equipment was in place. Her electric guitar was plugged into the amp and the amp to the wall; she even had a walk in closet. But that wasn't all; a door was in her room that, when she went through, she found to be a proper art room. An easel, paints, all sorts! There was even an area for her Pokémon to get creative. "I love it!"
"We thought you might!" Her father called from downstairs. Gemma giggled and ran into the main room, jumping on her bed. She lay down and smiled.
"I guess I can try to get used to this."
The next day was her first day at school, and it was halfway through the term, g-reat.
She changed into a red short sleeved blouse and some jeans that had a music stave up the left leg, her hair was thrown up into a messy ponytail and she just pulled on a pair of odd socks. Her glasses were wonky as she hopped down the stairs, Chimchar carrying her belt full of Poké balls.
If you haven't guessed yet, she's running late.
Gemma ran into the dining room and grabbed hold of a piece of toast, shoving it in her mouth as she pulled on her trainers. She grabbed her belt, fastening it before grabbing her bag and running out of the door and toward the school.
When she neared the gates, they were beginning to shut.
"Crap!" She said, running faster. Luckily for her she just about managed to get in, but she then tripped. Luckily for her it seemed to be her lucky day, and she soon found herself caught in someone's arms.
"You alright?" the boy asked. Gemma was put to her feet, and she was left staring at a boy.
He had messy brunette hair and green eyes, under his eyes were 3 dots in the shape of a triangle. He was wearing a green T-shirt with a smiley on, jeans and sneakers too. Both seemed equally shocked when they saw each other's faces.
"Gemma/Walter?!" They yelled in unison. The old friends hugged each other.
"What're you doing in Pallet Town?" Walter asked.
"I just moved here yesterday." Gemma replied.
"What homeroom do you have?"
"Jenkins."
"Ditto! C'mon, I'll show you where it is." He grabbed her bag for her and ran off, Gemma ran off after him.
"Where's Grovyle?" Gemma asked as they ran through the almost empty corridors.
"In the class." Walter replied. "He always runs ahead."
Just like old times. Gemma thought happily as she ran after the boy. She felt her heart lift when she had seen her childhood crush, seems old feelings never left.
Soon they neared a blue door. Walter opened it and they burst in, seconds later the bell rang.
"You just made it, Mr. Strong." Said a plump woman. She had sharp brown eyes, and white hair. She was covered in wrinkles and was in very old fashioned clothes. She crossed her arms.
"Yeah, you look ready to drop any minute, wouldn't want to miss reg. before you do." Walter said. Everyone in the class laughed. Gemma couldn't help but notice how little he had changed.
"That's enough of that, Mr. Strong. Oh! It looks like you brought along the new student for us."
"We're old friends, I just happened to bump into her, literally, in the playground." He said, handing Gemma her bag. A few boys made whistling noises. Gemma blushed.
"Settle down, class! Now, would you like to introduce yourself?" Ms. Jenkins said. Gemma nodded.
Walter walked into the rows of desks and took a seat next to someone with Raven hair.
"I'm Gemma, I just moved here from Hoenn yesterday." Gemma said.
"Chim!" Chimchar cheered.
"Oh yeah, this is my partner Chim." She then giggled.
"Welcome to Pallet High, Ms. Ashmore. Please take a seat next to Ms. Montenegro."
Gemma nodded again and walked to the empty seat, sitting down.
"Hi! I'm May." The girl smiled. (Yeah, I didn't feel like using Maple this time around.)
Gemma took the outstretched hand and shook it.
"I'm Gemma Ashmore."
"I know, you just said." May giggled. May had lovely long chestnut hair down to her mid back; it was let loose spare a bit that was plaited and tied at the back of her head. She was in a knee length royal blue dress that had a V-neck. "Welcome to Kanto."
"Thank you. I sure do miss Hoenn's sun though." Gemma sighed.
"I know just how you feel, I only moved here a few years ago. Dad lost his job as the Petalburg gym leader you see."
"Really? I lived in Petalburg too... I remember my brother battling your dad. He won." Gemma said, nodding her head as she recalled her elder brother's Petalburg gym battle.
"Oh! I remember that, you were only six, right? I recall us playing up in my room cos we were scared of the fighting." May smiled.
"Oh yeah!" The two girls laughed, forgetting about being quiet.
"Ms. Montenegro, Ms. Ashmore? Is there something funny we should all know?" Ms. Jenkins said.
"No miss." Gemma said.
"Good. Now, Mr. Kensington has told all teachers to remind you about battle-team tryouts on Tuesday and Contest Auditions on Thursday. I'm assuming Chimchar knows how to battle, Ms. Ashmore?"
"Why wouldn't he?"
"Well, he looks pretty young."
"He's had an everstone since he hatched, he's actually very strong." Gemma stated.
"Alright then. Now all we need to do is reg."
A few minutes later the registration was finished and they were all let out to go to their second Period, Break.
Gemma and May had become good friends and were walking toward the canteen whilst giggling amongst themselves.
"C'mon, I'll introduce you to the rest of the gang." May smiled, leading Gemma toward a table which was surrounded by about seven people already. "Hey guys!"
"Hey May!" One waved. Gemma recognised him as the boy Walter had sat by that morning. He had very messy raven hair, messier than Walter's, and was in a white long-sleeved top with a red neckline and sleeves, on one shoulder was a Pikachu. He had auburn eyes and strange scars on his cheeks, if Gemma didn't know better she'd think he and Walter were related!
"Hey Ash." May smiled. "Gemma that is Ash, head of year 8 battle team."
"Hey." Ash waved. Gemma waved back.
May pointed to a boy with dirty blonde hair cut pretty short. He was in a green top that said 'COD 6 Rocks!' on it. (Boys Hey? No offence to boys who don't like COD) He had brown eyes and seemed to have a Grotle by his side, but Gemma couldn't see properly.
"That is Bradley."
Next she pointed at a girl who seemed to be a bit hyper. She had dark brunette hair with a fringe that covered her left eye, she had brown eyes too. She was in a white turtleneck with a lilac camisole over the top. On her shoulder was an Espeon.
"That is Londie." May said. She then whispered "She and Brad have a major crush on each other, shhhhh."
Next was a blonde. He was in a blue t-shirt and had a Chameleon sitting next to him.
"Jadon. And Finally Zea."
Zea had light brown skin and had her dark brown hair in a ponytail and was wearing a pink and purple striped polo shirt.
"Hi." Gemma smiled.
"Welcome to the rainiest place on earth!" Zea giggled. A little Eevee popped up onto the table in front of her. "This is Eve."
Gemma placed Chimchar on the table and sat at a spare seat. May sat on her one side and Walter snapped up the seat on her other.
"'Bout time Walter." Ash said.
"Don't blame me, blame Miss bloody Jenkins." Walter sighed. Grovyle shook his head at his master.
Chimchar hopped down and the two started to chat.
"They still get along well." Walter chuckled.
"How do you know each other anyway?" Jadon asked.
"I used to live in Petalburg, but I left around 4 years ago. Gem and I were best friends."
"Its lucky you knew someone here, Gemma, or you'd be the bullies' subject for weeks." Bradley stated.
"Who?" Gemma asked, tilting her head to the side.
"Drew and Paul, school bullies even though their only year nines." May shuddered.
"Bradley! I thought we agreed not to mention the D and P words!" Ash hissed. Bradley backed off.
"Sorry, but she needs to know." Bradley apologised.
"What?" Gemma said, looking at May with worried eyes.
"May was bullied by them when she arrived." Ash said. "I had to protect her several times."
"I may have known Ash when I arrived, but Drew kinda has some grudge against me." May whispered.
"Oh."
"She fine now, but once she was in a pretty bad way." Londie said, her hyper attitude seemed to have dropped. That didn't last long. Jumping up she grabbed Gemma's arm. "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon! I'll give you a tour!" She said, dragging Gemma off. Everyone sweatdropped.
"Who's gonna make sure she doesn't kill her?" Bradley asked.
"I will." May said, standing up, her Wartortle following her lead. Ash stood too.
"I better go. May seems a bit upset." He said.
"Suuurre." Jadon said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Ash said, crossing his arms.
"You wanna take her somewhere private and snog her face off." Bradley teased.
"Shut up." Ash said.
"Don't blame us, you're the one who kissed her when she was in hospital." Jadon said simply.
"May and I have both forgotten about that certain incident, and I wish you would too." Ash groaned, sitting back down.
"Like that's ever gonna happen." Zea giggled.
Ash just buried his face in his arms.

"Uh, Londie? How much more is there, I think my arm is coming off." Gemma asked as she was pulled around the school.
"There lots more!" Londie cheered.
"Great." Gemma muttered.
"Londie! Give the poor girl her arm back!" May called as she ran after the two. Londie pouted but let go of Gemma's forearm. Gemma shook it around to make sure it still worked. "Thank you."
"I'm only showing her around." Londie said.
"We can do that as we go to the classrooms, and without ripping off her arm."
"KK."
"This school is huge, especially for such a small town." Gemma said.
"It's not just for Pallet, some from Viridian come here too." Londie said, still hyper.
"Are you permanently hyper or something?" Londie nodded quickly. "Ooo this year is gonna be fun."
"You have no idea." May giggled, Gemma felt a shiver go down her spine at that. May smirked. "C'mon, sit down here." She said, gesturing to the floor by some lockers. The three did so.
"So, go on. Spill." Londie said.
"Spill what?" Gemma asked.
"Oh c'mon! It's so obvious you and Walter weren't just 'best friends'." May giggled.
"And where did you get that idea from?" Gemma asked, folding her arms.
"The way he looks at you and you at him." Londie giggled.
"Look, I'm not really comfortable with discussing that with people I barely know." Gemma said, looking down with a blush on her cheeks.
"Oooooo! Looks like we've hit a nerve." May smiled.
"Shut up."
"Not until you spill."
"Fine! We had a relationship for six months, but broke it off when he moved away." Gemma said before covering her face.
"Why don't you just get back together?" Londie said.
"There's no point, he'll have fallen for some pretty blonde or something by now."
"Actually, Walter hasn't dated since he arrived here. He's turned down every single girl, and occasional guy, who did ask him." May smiled. "He said he was waiting for someone."
"You're not kiddin' are you?" Gemma asked, looking up. May shook her head. "Anyway enough of me! How 'bout you and Ash?"
"Shut up." May said.
"You made me answer." Gemma said.
"No, I'm not saying anything." May said, standing up.
"That is so not fair." Gemma pouted. She sighed but stood up, Londie too.
"It's a bit of a delicate matter for May." Londie said. Gemma just sighed again.
"We better head to class. What do we have?" She asked.
"Breeding Class." Londie shuddered.
"Uh yuck!"
"We know." May said, sticking her tongue out. The girls started walking towards the left wing of the school.

Me: That is the end of the first chapter! This won't be too updated, it will mostly be when I just don't feel like writing 'Ruby's Journey Complications' kinda right now. But I will continue both!
I will now remind you, if you don't appear soon in this, and you were, please tell me. You will probably still be a one off character, but still.
And yet again I am opening it to more OCs.
Cya next time!
