This is my very first story. It's set in the universe of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of time, but it makes references to Red and Blue Rescue Team. This is my first story, so constructive criticism is implored. Thank you for reading by the way.

Crap.

I'm gonna be late. Why was my settlement so far away from the academy? I have no idea how Cammy and Mace are able to get to class so early. They live so much farther away than I do.

I am Paul, a Tyrogue currently studying under exploration and, uh, construction work. It's also really nice since i get to watch the sun set over the ocean every evening. I live in Dewgong City, which was named after the species of the bustling city's founder. It is located on the souther base of Mount Mistral. Mistral Island is a very big island, north west of the bigger continent. I'm on my way to Psycho Shift academy, which has courses for a variety of different occupations. Students are required to take two, hence why I added construction work to my studies. This is bad, I'm gonna be really late. Bah! Brutus and his goons are waiting for me.

"Eh Paul, Why are you so late today?" Brutus, the Honchkrow, asks. A hint of malice in his tone of voice.

"Yeah, I lost my end of a bet because I thought you were gonna get here on time." Antoine, the Sneasel, barks. he was my least favorite, not like any of them counted as my favorite though. He always messes with me and makes the most contact.

Dane the Grimer simply chuckles to himself and emits a horrible stench, making me dizzy.

"Sorry..." I say, rushing past them dazily and pushing through the school doors. I walk over to my room, which is literally 5 steps away from the entrance. Exploration is number one in my school. Gulping to myself, I open the door.

"Uh... hi?" I greet. Everyone looked back except Eir, the Kirlia, one of my best friends, and Mark, the Nuzleaf, who always keeps to himself and only talks when he needs to. I grumble profanity to myself and relunctantly walk in.

"Yo Paul! Why are you so late? You left me and Eri a bit lonely here!" Shard (his real name was A.C) the Quilava, my best friend, beckons me over to the empty seat next to Eri. Bah, he chose the closest seat. Shard practically lives behind the school.

"Paul, you are late! Again! You live a bit far from here, so you must wake up extra early!" Mrs. Blaze scolds. Mrs. Blaze is, believe it or not, a Clefable. In fact, she is terrified of fire. Shard always gets in trouble because of this, since he plays around using flame wheel everyday. Mr. Ware, the Crawdaunt law professor, despises him more than anyone else.

Apparently, Mrs. Blaze was teaching something about the discovery of Cobblestone Cavern in some far off continent, but i didn't care about the discovry of other explorers. I want to discover treasures, lore, secrets, and places on my own.

"Eri?" I whisper.

She passes me a piece of paper with answers to last night's homework on Team A.C.T. or whatever, another international subject.

"You're really quiet today, Is omething wrong?" I whisper.

"No."

"What's up then?"

"You didn't appear with at Kyogre Fountain last night."

I absentmindedly stand up from my seat and audibly gasp.

"Damnit! I forgot!"

Now everyone looked at me. Even Mark turned his head to see what just happened. Annette and Cammy, a Whimsicott and a Petilil, in that order, whispered to one another and giggled.

Today's going to be one hell of a day, it seems.

If you haven't noticed already, the main 3 characters' names (Paul, Eri, A.C.) are based off of stars.

Paul goes for Pollux, Eri goes for Eridani B, and A.C. goes for Alpha Centauri. I hope I did okay. Tell me how I can improve and if anything in the story seems to make no sense. Thank you.
