1. Prologue

Hearts Beat like Earthquakes- Prologue

Little boys and girls are told stories at night when their too naïve to realize that life isn't like a fairytale. Stories of trolls that live under bridges and cause trouble to all those who pass over their domain. Stories of giants who live in clouds, towering over everyone, and greed and selfishness blinding them into trying to kill someone who dares steal their goods. Stories of royalty.

Royalty, such a regal word, covered in ideas of the high life, and also thoughts of the princesses who are trapped by evil queens, princes who save them, kings who are blind to it all, and jesters who are only there to make the people around them have a gay old time. Thoughts of princesses who are trapped in castles, waiting for their prince on a white Rapidash to save them, away from the queen with her henchman and her evil Honchkrow, if only to go into deeper detail of course.

Little girls have dreams of either one day being the damsel in distress, or to be the Queen who rules the land with an iron fist, little boys sleep at night with ideas of being a prince who slays the Seviper who guards the door of the princess. But one day their forced to wake up and realize that that idea is impossible, and are now needing to figure out a more practical career choice, doctor, lawyer, writer.

But, what if there was a place that those little kids with big dreams of becoming someone so important, someone people were forced to look up to, and it's easy to say that that place exists in the world of Pokémon. But of course, being such a prestigious campus, only a select few are asked to join the campus. The rich. It's only ever happened a few times where someone who wasn't full of money entered the school, and it was only based on brains…

Or power. In their world, you didn't need money to have power; it was you and your Pokémon's ability that could get you into such a campus.

The campus was spilt into five schools, Death, Life, Light, Ice, and Earth schools made it up. Each school was made for certain types of Pokémon. Death held all trainers who had a Pokémon that was dark, ghost, or poison, Life had grass, bug, normal, and flying, Light had fire, electricity, and psychic, Ice held the water, ice, and dragon types, and Earth had rock, ground, and steel. Some place for everyone who made the cut. In that place, located just on the tip of one of the Orange Islands, you were royalty to all those who weren't part of the campus.

But even inside not everyone was royalty, again only a select few, based on power, were the top of the school. At the top of each school, Death, Life, Light, Ice, and Earth, were six people who ran their schools with their own ways. Each one of course chosen for power, but at the same time each one had something else that set them apart from everyone else.

At the bottom of the heap stood the Jester. In stories the Jester was meant to entertain, which is still the reason they are a part of the top of the schools. At any school event they are the entertainment, using whatever skill they have to do some sort of performance. They aren't to be underestimated of course though; they are the sixth strongest person in their school, only beat by five there are more than people take them for. They are always in either freshman or sophomore year.

Next in line stand two, the Prince and Princess, chosen by gender respectively. The second top girl is the Princess and the second top male is the Prince. Just the Jester, in stories they are treated by their beauty, which is what sets them apart. The most beautiful people in their respective schools. They are envied by all for their looks, and aren't always the smartest in the world, but more often than not, their beauty does come with brains. They are always sophomores or juniors

Right on top of the Prince and Princess is the Queen and King of the school. Unlike in the stories, they are not always together, and the King is not always male, and vice a versa for the Queen. Chosen for both their power and their intelligence, they are what most consider the top of the school, despite knowing one other person is in front of them. They are always juniors or seniors

Standing at the tip of the school the one who in the shadows rules over all, and is only chosen for the power that puts them apart from the rest is the Joker. It's a known fact that the Joker is the one person who can defeat, on most occasions, everyone in their school, and no one in their respective school dares to challenge them, less they're stupid enough too. The Joker also has to pass off on any battle that will count for their respective team of royals. They are juniors or seniors.

By battles that will count, that of course means any battle that will be for that person to get knocked out of the campus wide competition. You see, each year, for the first half the teams will train to get better. They can battle each other freely, without the Joker's consent for points during the last month before the week break in between the first and second half of the year that will be used in the second half of the year to battle each person on the team. Jesters take one point, Princess and Princes take five, Queen and King take fifteen, and the Joker takes twenty-five points. The points are earned through practice battles.

In the practice battles, anyone can battle anyone from the other schools. If you beat a Jester you get one point, Princes and Princesses give you three, King and Queen give you five, and the Joker gives you the top amount, ten. These points will be used and still able to be earned during the second half of the year to defeat the team before the final tournament.

The way it works is that each team starts at the bottom, the Jester. If the Earth school wants to take out the Death school before the final tournament their Jester will fight the Death schools Jester for one point, if they win the Jester is out. Then the Prince fights the Prince or the Princess may be fought first, for three points apiece, and then the Kings and Queen will fight, and the Jokers fight last. If the Earth school, as the explanation started, loses at any point, all those who were beaten are back in the game. Also if they are unable to finish the team off in one moth, leaving at least three days in between each battle, they automatically are let back in. Other dorms can also fight the same dorm, but they have to start at the bottom as well.

Also, if say the Prince is beaten he can still fight other dorms, except the one he was beaten by. It's hard to keep track of but it's the Joker's job to keep track of who can fight who in their dorm and their point totals. On top of that rule, if the Light school gets five points from the Ice school, they are allowed to use those pints against the Death school. And during the practice battles, anyone can fight anyone, Joker versus Prince; it doesn't matter at that point.

At the end of the year though, approximately two weeks before school lets out for the summer, is the final tournament, where all the dorms that still have not been totally defeated are able to find out who is the top of the school. But that will be explained later on when it gets closer to the time for that to happen. You've learned a lot for now, but until next time fair reader, let me introduce to you, the Death school, and winner of the final tournament three years running.

.

Starting with the Jester we have Melissa Jackson, a tiny girl with a big personality. She is the embodiment of what the Jester was in the story books. She is the light shining on what should be a dark dorm. Her smiles make people all over the campus stop and gawk at how bright she is. She stands at only 5'1, the shortest person in her dorm. She has bright blond hair with shades of brown going through it. She is the only person in her dorm with a poison type, her Ariados being one of her best friends. She was chosen for her ability to dance ballet beautifully.

Next we have Darren Anderson, the Prince of the Death school; second to only his King he is the quietest male in the school. He has light brown hair that is cut short and spiked slightly in the front and dark blue eyes that holds the mystery that he is. Not many people know that much about, only that he is a very calm person. He is known for his looks, like a prince should be, and he is also known for his battling style. He uses hand signals that change every once in a while so no one can keep track of them. His partner is his Gengar.

Alongside her brother stands the Princess of the dorm, Maria Anderson, and there are many words that could be used the describe her, but to be quick and short, she is cold, stoic, and harsh. She doesn't believe in battling for fun and every time her Pokémon, Houndoom, is released, it's war against the opponent she is fighting. Like her brother, she was also chosen for her beauty. Light brown hair that touched her mid-back, which is always kept in a high ponytail, her eyes are never flickering with emotion. You would think she was quiet like her brother due to her personality, but Maria never gives up a chance to insult someone when she finds fit.

The Queen of the dorm is like the older, slightly quieter, version of Melissa. Her name is Hiyoko. Her eyes are black as night but hold a twinkle of joy in them most of the time. Her dark brown hair falls to her chin in a bob look that gives her a childish look, but if you have ever battled her you'll know she takes on a totally different façade. Her entire being turns serious, and her eyes no longer have that shine to them that they used to and she won't stop until her Dusknoir wins the battle alongside her. When she is out of battle she is known to be very optimistic, and will always help someone out, no matter what school they are a part of.

Then we have the King of the dorm, Nicholas 'Nick' Jamerson. He is the epitome of wild, all over the place all the time, never fearing anything, in and out of battle, and his immature attitude towards people, even within his own team. Nick makes sure that no matter how fast an opponent is, he's faster. Despite though what people think, he truly is one of the smartest males in his school, and since the joker is a girl, he is the most powerful of the Death school. He has no regard sometimes for just how much pain he is causing, in and out of battle. He can get out of control and sometimes end up either hurting himself, mentally and physically, or even his Pokémon, his Mightyena. He means well though, and is always trying to keep his temper in check, especially around one certain person.

Finally, the most feared woman in all of the Death school, the Joker of the Death school. She stands at a high 6 feet tall, and her jet black hair and coal eyes that search into your soul looking for something that will prove you to her. Her name is Alexandra Colone. And don't you dare refer to her as 'Alex' in her presence unless you are a part of her team. She was chosen solely for her power. She has two sides to her. In front of the schools she is quiet and reserved, very rarely leaving her dorm unless it is for a battle to be set up or to support her team. In front of her team behind closed doors she is kind and open to her teammates, and she is always ready to give advice to them.

That is the Death School's team, and they are ready to defend their school in the tournament.
