The Radiant School of Pokemon, Part 1; The Gathering.
Chapter 1: Home Again
As my mom's car rounded the final turn, I could finally see the place I had learned to call home over the past year: The Radiant School of Pokemon, or RSP, for short. The thing about this school was that it only accepted those who were lucky enough to have a pokemon who are deemed "Shiny," or of an alternate color. My Riolu, Aurator, and Larvesta, Blazerio, fell under this category, so I was able to attend this school for sure; lucky enough for me. I know from experience that this school is absolutely amazing! Everything is so posh and elegant… I just love it here.
As my mom pulls out my bags from the trunk, I send out my first three Pokemon, which are still in training. I keep the other three back, because they can more than handle themselves. Although no one in the school has seen my other three Pokemon, I constantly assure my peers that they are more than powerful enough to take down a Pokemon League Champion, although I might have been exaggerating a little bit. I also tell them that one is Shiny, to build up anticipation. I feel so evil...
Each of my pokemon react differently to returning to RSP. My Shiny Larvesta, Blazerio, jumps around, excited to finally be back here. My Zweilous, Shadow smiles at first, but then Shadow's two heads start arguing. One head says, "Well, we're back again… I think." To which the other replied, "No duh! Maybe I should have petitioned for a smarter second head!" They then started biting at each others' necks, to the point where my Shiny Riolu, Aurator, steps in and Force Palms both heads, saying, "You guys calm down now. We don't want any trouble like last year." Both necks nod, clearly in pain, and remembering all the damage it had caused last year when it was still a Deino, grimacing at the painful memories. Aurator nods to me, saying, "Crisis averted." I return with a nod, thumbs-up, and a smile.
My mom kisses me on the forehead goodbye, clearly embarrassing me. She then says, "See you at Christmas! Bye!" I wave goodbye, and I sigh peacefully, knowing that I am home once again.
I walk up to the check-in table, and the woman sitting there recognizes me immediately. "Ah, miss Annerion. Welcome back to RSP." I smile in response at my Battle Physics teacher. "Hello, Mrs. Eramone." I respond. She checks my name off, but then she hands me a paper, and her expression suddenly becomes solemn. I lift one eyebrow in a "Huh?" look and she says, "It's a new policy this year. It's a waiver stating that any harm done to you while you are here is not the responsibility of the school… a waiver, if you will. Your parents and/or guardians have signed it in advance; now it's your turn to sign."
I wonder why these people don't have the common sense to have both people sign a form at once, so they would collect the forms in advance. My Riolu asks me, "Are you sure?" sensing my hesitation. I nod and proceed to sign the form, but Aurator is still not convinced that I'm completely sure about this.
Mrs. Eramone then returns to her usual cheery disposition and hands me a package, revealing my uniform for the year. I open the package to reveal three outfits consisting of a black robe with a gold stripe on the sleeves and down the center of the vest, black pants with a vertical gold stripe down the sides, and black shoes. I smirk, as the uniform means I have once again made it into the Advanced dorm. Mrs. Eramone then says, "After students put their bags in their respective dorms, all students are required to go to the central plaza until 12:15 P.M. Lunch will then be served. After lunch, new students will go to orientation; the rest of the students will just do whatever… within reason, mind you. At exactly 5:00 P.M., students will receive their schedules, and we will gather in the central plaza once again for a formal welcome, followed by an exhibition match; a randomly chosen Advanced trainer against a randomly chosen Intermediate trainer. If the trainer does not want to battle, others can, what is the phrase, 'volunteer as tribute'? Then it's free time until lights out at 11:00. Think you can handle it?" I nod, and say, "May the odds be ever in your favor" as I walk away. Mrs. Eramone looks at me as if I'm crazy for a second, then starts chuckling to herself, amused that I matched her Hunger Games reference.
After settling in my room, seeing that my roommate was not there yet, I start on towards the Central Plaza, a moderate walk from the Advanced dorm. As I walk toward the Plaza, taking in the grounds that I had learned to know and love once again, I bumped into a man, knocking off my onyx (not the pokemon, mind you; the gemstone!) necklace. After rubbing my head and putting my necklace back on, I saw Headmaster Oracion. I instantly say, "I-I'm sorry! I'm-" He puts his hand up, and I stop. He puts his hand out, and I take it. "Well, Jade. That was quite the entrance, I must admit." I giggle at this. "I'm assuming lessons will continue as scheduled this year?" I nod frantically. "Of course," he says, "I hope you haven't forgotten all you've learned last year." I shake my head no, and run up to a tree, then hit it with the palm of my hand, breaking the tree into several hundred pieces. "I guess not." He says. "Well, Miss Arroneon, good luck this year." I nod and bow to the Headmaster, then continue my walk to the Central Plaza, wondering exactly how much nostalgia I was going to experience today.
I know, I know; Short first chapter. But it's supposed to give you other people a chance to submit OCs before I start the next chapter. We will learn more about our main character, as well as how she was able to shatter a tree next chapter, where the antagonist (and possibly a few OCs) will be introduced. I want feedback on this story, so send me constructive criticisms. I want no flames; I hate using fire extinguishers…
