Alakazam Academy: Chapter 3

AN: Thank you for all the reviews AA has received and I hope that you like the following chapter ^^ enjoy!!

When the Professor had led us up a lot of spiral staircases, finally stopping in a large, round room, Kylie was still mouthing nonsense, although slower than before.

"I think you should stop now," Corina murmured to Kenta, who nodded and flicked his arm.

"...and then Skittles found a skittle and ate it! It was so funny she looked so happy being a cannibal!" she stopped when she noticed the What-The-Fudge stares from everyone in the group.

"What?" she asked, giving us back a wide-eyed stare behind her glasses, which were for once on her nose (still crooked, though).

"Anyway, welcome to the Starr Tower common room! This is where you can go in any free time you have to relax. You are allowed to spend your spare time in the training gym and everywhere outside in the summer, but in the winter term you must be in here by six." Professor McParr said, as I looked around the room. The floor was a deep, honey-coloured wood, and was mostly covered by a circular green rug with a pattern of leaves on it.

To one side of the room there were several armchairs and sofas, all a warm gold colour, which two identical fifteen year old boys were rearranging happily, accompanied by their Ivysaur and Pidgeotto. There were also a few faded green bean bag chairs to the side of a fireplace, with a blazing fire in it.

"Sammy, you know you shouldn't be in there!" someone called out, and suddenly a little scaly head popped out of the fire, grinning. The Charmander jumped out of the fire and ran to the other side of the room to its owner, who was holding a red Pokemon egg.

As I had been taking in the room, Professor McParr had been talking.

"As you can see, there are several doors along the wall. The two marked, 'Year 1', are your dormitories. One door will have an Arcanine under the sign, and the other will have a Meganium; the Arcanine door is the boys' dormitories, and the Meganium door is the girls'. I will be back in an hour and take you to the dining hall." the professor then neatly stepped to the side as everyone, Kylie in the lead, swarmed at the dormitories.

Presumably to get squashed to death as they tried to barge in on the Year 3's dorms.

I sighed, picked up my bags and Mal, and went into my dormitory.

It was a nice room, also circular, and had lots of windows. The floor was a soft green carpet, and the walls were a pale gold colour with faint darker gold spots. There were ten beds, each different styles and colours from the other, and I pounced on one right next to a window.

It was a cabin bed, too high to be a normal bed, too low to be a bunk bed, and, instead of empty space underneath, it had an arrangement of drawers and a small cushiony Pokemon bed underneath the pillow end of my bed. The bed frame was a normal, shiny brown colour, and Mali's bed was green with Cheri berries spotted on it, as was my duvet. The sheets and pillow were plain green.

"Ah! Here it is!" a triumphant shout came from the now open doorway, and seven other boys ran in, lobbing bags and suitcases onto beds and claiming them loudly.

Raul's Shieldon ran surprisingly fast and reached the bed next to mine, a metal bunk bed with a desk and wardrobe under it, before its master did.

"Good, Baz." the boy said, putting his stuff on the desk and petting the Shieldon. Mali leapt out of her new bed and pranced up to the Shieldon.

"Shinx shinx! Shi, shinx shi?" (Hi, I'm Mali! Who are you?) the Shieldon regarded her with mild disdain.

"Don don don. Shieldon, shield." (My name is Bastian. I am a pedigree Shieldon.) I coughed to hide a snigger as Mali frowned. Raul just watched the conversation boredly.

"Shinx, shinx inx?" (You mean like the Poke-food?) she asked slowly, as Bastian sniggered.

"Shield. Don, Don." (Yes. Yes, it does.) he said sarcastically, and Mali's eyes grew larger than... well, something large, I suppose.

"SHIIIINX!!!" (FOOOOD!!) Mali shrieked, pouncing just as Raul quickly heaved Bastian up out of the Shinx' path. Mali fell flat onto her face and stood up, slightly miffed.

"Does your Shinx do stuff like that?" Raul asked me pompously, as Mal plugged her tail into a plug socket on the wall.

"Yeah, I'm getting used to it," I said back cheerfully, starting to unpack my scanty luggage. Raul made a 'pah' noise.

"Is that all you have?" he asked incredulously. I shrugged.

"Half of it is Mali's," I said, Raul's eyes nearly popping as he stared at the rucksack that I had just opened. I started putting books and socks in drawers, and various other things away, as Raul climbed onto his bed and started playing with a posh phone.

"New Pecha2000," he drawled, watching me wrestle a stripey sock from Mali's mouth.

"The latest model. It's got a high tech camera, too. Here..." he trailed off, and I heard a click from where he sat. I turned around and just caught the phone as it came whizzing down from the bed.

"Look at the screen," he said, commandingly. I turned it over.

There was Mali, staring at the camera, sock hanging out of her mouth and looking completely stupid. But also quite sweet.

"Very high detail, isn't it?" Raul said pompously, not waiting for an answer but reaching down and grabbed it back.

"If there are any computers here, I'll print it off for you." he said graciously, as if he were giving me the crown jewels. I unplugged Mali and gave her my scarf to play with instead, then I turned round and watched Raul unpack his things. He had a lot of unnecessary stuff, like an automatic sock folder and an electric Pokemon brush.

"Finest Caterpie cotton," he said, holding a plain white sock up, before folding it neatly into a drawer. Bastian crawled slowly up the metal stairs to Raul's bed, and collapsed from the long trek immediately once up there. Mali leapt up there easily and received a death glare from the Shieldon.

I finished unpacking and shoved my bags to the side before sitting on my bed and watching Mali try to get Baz to play with her.

"Bastian, come down and see your bed," the Shieldon peered over the side of the bunk bed and shivered, before Mali shoved him over the edge and he landed with a 'thunk' on his metal backside.

Raul rolled his eyes and plonked his Pokemon onto a thick cushion on the desk as Mali laughed and tumbled down the stairs to the floor. Baz growled at the kitten, who just jumped onto my knee and smirked back.

I sighed and scratched her ear.

How am I going to waste three quarters of an hour without being bored?

AN: -_- Third chapter and I've already made a filler. ~goes into other room~ AAAAAAAAAHHH!!! ~comes back again~ Anyway, thank you to everyone who's reviewed so far, and Raul belongs to... ME!! ^^ T T F N!! :P
