Me: Hi everyone! It's the second chapter of Rise to Fame here in case you haven't guessed. I sat myself down yesterday and forced myself to write it because I knew if I didn't do it when I had the chance, school would take over and knowing me, it'd be Halloween before it got written. Anyway enough of my ramblings, I forgot the disclaimer last chapter, so this one covers both.

DarkAngel443 does not own Pokémon or any of the canon characters. She only owns the plot and OC's.

Me: That makes me sad...

Chapter 2
The practical entrance exam was dead easy. At least it was for Sven. Several quick loops and the Pikachu was captured. The other two boys that were in his group of five however, weren't so lucky. Sven, Wendy and the midget, Akira all passed though.

After receiving congratulations and shaking hands with the people who had failed, the were shown into another room, this one completely empty apart from a few hard plastic chairs scattered across the room. After the door closed, Sven confidently sat down on one of the chairs as if he had lived in that room his entire life. Wendy and Akira stood near the side of the room, acting more nervous than Sven.

There was an awkward silence before Sven decided to speak. He was going out of his mind from boredom. "So. Where are you two ladies from?" He said the first thing that came into his head.

"Eterna City in Sinnoh." Wendy replied, now studying Sven's face, making him feel uneasy. Sven rarely felt intimidated around anyone. He was the one who intimidated others but yet again, Wendy seemed to be the exception to the rule.

Sven didn't think Akira would answer but then she did. "Fall City." Her voice wasn't as quiet or giggly as Sven had expected it to be, it was calm and confident. Was everyone here going to be the opposite of what he expected?

Wendy found that she already had mixed feelings for the confident Sven. She liked how he seemed so certain and sure of himself but at the same time, it was what turned her off him. She didn't like over-confident people and Sven certainly seemed over-confident. Maybe it was just nerves from starting a new school, maybe it wasn't. Wendy would just have to wait to find out.

Akira still was slightly surprised that she had made it so far. She had never even expected to get into Ranger School for a start. Her family were too poor to afford the fees for the school so she had never thought that she would see Almia Ranger school. How she got there was slightly amazing as well. She had been out for a walk early one morning when she heard a Skitty meowing for help. After searching for it, she found it on the roof of a shop. Akira had used her climbing skills to go up the drainpipe and get the Skitty back to ground level again.

Joel, the Fall city leader, had recieved reports of the Skitty and had gone himself to investigate it. He had found Akira, holding the Skitty in her arms. The next thing Akira knew was that the form for a scholarship to the Ranger School had arrived in the post. She had accepted and here she was. It still was slightly unbelievable to Akira.

Sven was about to say something more when the door opened again, this time a woman entering who Sven presumed to be a teacher. "Congratulations on making it this far children." She smiled. "My name is Ms. April. I'm going to be your teacher along with whoever else is in your class. If you follow me, I'll show you to the school and your dorms where you can unpack. Before we go, does anybody have any questions?" Nobody moved or said anything. "Ok then. Come with me. I just know you're going to love being a student here." She turned to leave the room the turned around again. "Wait. I forgot your timetables!"

She handed them two sheets of paper each, a map of the school and a timetable. Sven raised an eyebrow as be looked over the list of subjects be would be expected to study. Berryology, first aid, history, Pokeassists, Operator/Ranger relationships, gym, basic mechanics, capturing Pokemon, and study class. The last class seemed like a good time for him to practice his flirting skills and maybe even catch a few naps. The rest of the subjects however. Gym and Capture class would be easy for him but the others? Sven shrugged. He could always copy off someone else.

Me: Please review! :) Hope you liked it.
