I do not own Pokemon, although I would be rich if I did.
A boy with silver hair was walking through a hallway, looking around every corner, staring down at a piece of paper every few seconds, he had an uneasy look on his face as he stopped in front of a classroom door. Gulping he took a sigh and slid open the classroom door.
"Oh, you must be the new student." said a woman standing at the front of the class. Her dark hair flipping upwards as it reached her shoulders. Her clothing showed no sign of her being a teacher, her red tank top stopping above her belly-button. A black belt holding up her pure white skinny jeans. She glared at the timid boy, who was instantly intimidated by her demeanor.
The boy too a step forward into the classroom, giving the other students a look at his appearance. His silver hair spiked slightly, and protruded from underneath a black hat adorned with a white poke-ball logo. He wore a gray jacket and a black undershirt. His jeans were a dark shade of blue, that trailed underneath his gray sneakers. Nervously he walked into the front of the classroom, addressing the teacher who bluntly told him to introduce himself. With another gulp he turned towards the class, his bright red eyes a little wary of the situation. "H- Hello... my name is Gray. It's nice to meet all of you." he finished with a bow.
"Thank you for that, you may address me as Ms. Sabrina." replied the teacher motioning towards an empty seat next to a young boy wearing a white beanie. Understanding, Gray sat down in his seat, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Thank Arceus... now if I can just get through the day and go home, I'll be fine." he thought to himself, opening his notebook, taking notes on the lecture that the teacher was giving. The boy in the white beanie prodded Gray's side with a pencil, in an attempt to get his attention.
"Pssst! Pssst!" whispered the boy, as Gray tuned his head to face him. "Heya, the name's Ruby! Nice to meet ya!" he whispered with a grin.
"Oh, hey, nice to meet you too." whispered back Gray, still trying to keep his eye on the board.
"So you transferred in, where'd you come from?" replied Ruby, getting shushed by the girl sitting in front of him. "Relax Sapphire, I'm just meeting the new ki-" out of no where a piece of chalk hits him in between his eyes. The whole class erupted into a laughing fit as he landed on the ground with a thud.
"Ruby if you keep talking in class I'm going to have to send you out." replied the teacher, still writing on the board. "Now, who can tell me the importance of having a balanced team?" She turned around to see a few hands raised in the class, "Hmm... Red, how about you?"
Sighing the black haired boy stood up, his red hat resting on top of his head. Over his black shirt sat a red shirt with white sleeves. His dull red eyes looked rather bored as he began to speak, "The importance of a balanced team is to be able to handle all types of situations, if one Pokemon is weak against another type, it would be best to use a Pokemon you have that has an advantage over that type to avoid unnecessary harm." His words flowed effortlessly with an air of knowledge and confidence. He silently sat back down into his chair as the teacher nodded in agreement with his answer.
"I'd expect nothing less from the top trainer in the school." said Ms. Sabrina, writing more on the board. "Now... Gray" she said, turning around. The transfer hastily stood up, knocking his books over in the process. Turning bright red as they hit the floor.
"Y-yes ma'am?" said the boy, looking down at his desk, trying to hide his embarrassment. Across the room a few students were snickering, the loudest being a spiky haired boy, with deep green eyes and wearing a black polo.
"Green, shut it." said the teacher, giving the boy an icy glare, silencing him immediately. "Gray, what is the base function of a TM?"
"The base function of a TM is to teach a Pokemon a move it could not learn otherwise, however, some Pokemon are incompatible with certain TMs. This is because of a physical limitation or a type difference." replied Gray, still blushing with embarrassment. He sat down quietly and flipped his hood up, hiding his face. He picked up his books and rearranged them on his desk. The rest of the class he kept his head down, not even responding to Ruby's poking. Some time later the bell had rung for the end of the first half of the day. The students began opening their lunches, and eating together. With an invitation from Ruby, Gray walked to the roof of the school, being met by a group of people, Ruby being at the center.
"Heya man! Glad you could make it!" shouted Ruby with a wave. "Come on over, I'll introduce you!" Gray gave a slight smile, walking over to the group, he had sat down next to a girl with long brown hair, a large sunhat hat sat atop her head. "Alright, this is Sapphire, the girl who shushed me before I was so ruthlessly struck down by our teacher."
The brown haired girl gave a smile and a wave, a blue bandana covered her head, she wore a blue biker shirt and black spandex shorts. "Hi, I'm Sapphire!"
Ruby went around the circle introducing everyone in order, Diamond, Pearl, Blue, Black, and White. The trainers all responded in a friendly manner, each greeting Gray as they were named. The new trainer gave a big smile, "It's great to meet all of you! But, who's that?" he asked pointing over to Red, sitting in the corner next to a blond haired girl wearing a black shirt and black pants. On top of that she donned a brown sundress. Held onto her back by a string tied around her waist was a large wicker hat.
"Oh, that's Red, he doesn't talk to anyone other than her, and Green occasionally." Said Black, before being cut off by Blue
"Hey! He talks to me!" said Blue through puffed up cheeks.
"And Blue..." sighed Ruby, anyways, like Black was saying he barely talks. But don't let him fool you, he has the highest grades, and he's the strongest trainer at this school. The only one with six Pokemon.
"I still don't see what she sees in him." said Blue, taking a bite of her sandwich.
"I think that's just cause you're jealous." laughed Diamond, pointing a chopstick at the blushing teen.
"I- I am not!" she shouted turning bright red. "I'm just curious... is all..."
"So Gray, see any girls you like yet?" said Ruby with a devilish smirk
"What? I.. uhh... urm..." he looked around nervously, bright red at the question. Ruby, Diamond, and Black fell over laughing.
"I... was... only... kidding!" said Ruby through fits of laughter. As soon as he was able to breath he sat up, still giggling. "You've only been here like 5 hours, I don't expect you to have your eyes on anyone."
"Haha, yeah... So, what's next?" asked Gray, desperately trying to change the conversation.
"For our class is battling." said Pear, adjusting her beanie, "We head out to the arena and have a few practice battles."
"That reminds me," said Black, "What Pokemon do you have?"
"Well right now, I just have Trailblazer, my Quillava." replied Gray, "I left my other team members at home."
"You have the same starter as Gold!" shouted White, speaking for the first time that lunch.
"Who's Gold?" asked Gray, tossing a pokeball up and down in his hand.
"He's in another class, he's probably the only person who can give Red a challenge, besides Green, but what other Pokemon do you have Gray?" asked Sapphire
"Oh, um, there's Trailblazer, Corkscrew, my Drilbur, Volt, my Jolteon, War, my Braviary, and Blades, my Gallade." he said, numbering the pokemon on his fingers.
"Wow, that's a pretty interesting team." said Ruby as the bell rang again, signaling the start of the 2nd half of the day. "Well, lets go, time for some battling."
"Alright!" shouted Black and Diamond, bolting down the stairs, racing each other towards the fields. The others followed suit, meeting Ms. Sabrina at the fields.
"Alright, today we're just going to do single's matches, to get Gray acclimated to school battles." said the teacher, holding a clip board "First up, Black and Yellow. One Pokemon each." The two trainers stepped into their respective boxes, each grabbing a Pokeball from their belts.
"Go, Pignite!" shouted Black, his fire Pokemon snorting out black smoke as it entered the arena.
"Go, Pikachu!" shouted Yellow, her Pokemon releasing small volts of electricity.
"Ready... Begin!" shouted Sabrina, waving her hand down, chopping the air, signaling the beginning of their match.
"Pikachu, start this off with quick attack!" shouted Yellow, her Pokemon running at blinding speeds.
"Pignite, smokescreen!" retaliated Black, his Pokemon covering the field with black smog, blinding the Pikachu. "Now, Flare Blitz!" he shouted, his pokemon covering itself with flames, colliding directly with Pikachu's side, sending it flying.
"Wow, that was a nice combo there." said Ruby, commenting on the state of the battle, giving Gray tips and hints as to what was going on
"Pikachu!" shouted Yellow, her Pikachu managing to stand up. "Are you okay?" Her Pokemon replied with a nod, "Alright, hit him with a thunderbolt!" The Pokemon jumped above the smoke, hitting the whole field with a massive jolt of electricity, clearing out the smoke, revealing an injured Pignite, managing to stand by pure will power.
"Pignite, finish this! Earthquake!" shouted Black, his Pokemon stomping the ground, cracking the ground underneath Pikachu, creating a pitfall, sending it to the bottom, knocking it unconscious.
"Match over!" shouted Sabrina "Winner, Black." Black walked over to Yellow who was returning Pikachu to its ball.
"That was a good match Yellow!" he said with a smile, extending his hand for a handshake.
"Yeah, it was." she replied, bending down, "You did good too Pignite!" she said, scratching behind the pig Pokemon's ear.
"Alright, next up!" Sabrina have a smirk as she called the names. "Green!" some girls gave a cheer as the class ladies man walked into the box. "Versus, Gray!" Gray's face went pale, as he slowly walked into the box, grabbing his Pokeball from his belt.
"Good luck klutz, you're gonna need it." said Green, tossing out his pokeball. "Go, Eevee!" His fox pokemon giving a cute yip as it was released from it's pokeball.
"G-Go, Trailblazer!" stammered Gray, tossing his pokeball out into the field, his Quillava shouting at the top of its lungs.
"Ready... Begin!" shouted Sabrina, signaling the beginning of the match.
