Walking to an empty seat, Steven plopped himself down and brought out his books. Scanning the titles, he was interested by the Pok mon history book and started reading about it, seeing if he could have a head start before his first history lesson. In his old school, he was always considered a nerd, especially when it came to history and archaeology. The intricate details always fascinated him, how the world was made, the different Pok mon that affect it etc. Bullies tend to pick on him because of this. After being chased around a lot, he had a lot of stamina and was quick on his feet, agile and fast were an added bonus.

~RING~

Hearing the bell, he looked up from reading his book. He scanned the classroom, taking in the different students in his new homeroom. The class was separated probably by small cliques; the elite trainers, the contestants, the breeders and the nerds. Feeling left out, he sank deeper into his chair, not knowing what do to next. He was relieved when the teacher came in, as he wouldn't be considered a loner if everyone was sitting down. The teacher, white haired and moustached, spoke with a deep voice,

"Students, welcome to your last year in JH! I am your new home room teacher to those that do not know me, Professor Rowan. Please settle down and we will take attendance."

~During attendance~

Steven, bored to death, sat there in his chair waiting for his name to be called. Professor Rowan's voice droned in his mind as he stared absentmindedly to the wall. Normally this wouldn't happen as he was a very diligent student but Rowan was just that boring...

"Steven?"

Not responding to his name, his mind started drifting to other thoughts, only being interrupted when his full name was called.

"Steven Stone?"

Jolting up, he replied and was asked to go to the front of the class and introduce himself. Gazing around the body of students in front of him, Flannery and her friends caught his eye. Due to her hair, she stood out very well; the two other students that flanked her seemed very flamboyant as well. One of them had turquoise coloured hair and wore a white hat with a matching turquoise and white shirt. His pants were a light shade of purple and he seemed very proud. The other, a girl, had lavender coloured hair, wore a blue helmet like hat, blue and white long sleeved shirt and white pants. She had an elegant look to her, hair flowing every time she swung her head around. They were chattering at with each other, sneaking glances at Steven from time to time.

He sat back down and Professor Rowan had to leave the room for a while, allowing the students some free time before he got back. The trio, made their way to Steven and they had a small conversation. He got to know the other students names, Winona and Wallace respectively. When the bell signalling first period rang, Winona, being nice, led him to his classroom, acting as his guide.

He skimmed through the different periods, Maths, English and Science with ease. During lunch, he walked along the school corridors, eventually stumbling across the school library. Intrigued, he went inside and found himself indulged with books. Walking along the history isle, he found a book on Sinnoh's history and started reading. He sat there reading for the whole of lunch, not moving apart from the page flipping from time to time. He went out of the library when it was the end of lunch, holding up his book while walking around the corridors. Again, not looking where he was going, he bumped into another person, sending them both falling to the ground
