Hidew Island was only a few miles from the Orange Island Archipelago, but was just far enough to be considered its' own entity. The island was cherished by many people who visited it, because of the massively varied terrain which included; a small mountain chain to the north which backed the school, with forest enveloping the east coast and with flowering plains and nice beaches lining the south and west coast. Also a small reef believed to be a breeding ground for some ancient water pokemon surrounds the north side of the island behind the mountains.
As Cassie and the rest of the group moved off the boat and towards the main hall she noticed a zigzagoon of in the distance carrying an odd rock. Unable to make out exactly what it was she just guessed that it must be some type of berry. Although she did notice that zigzagoon seemed a little more reddish in color than normal.
Walking into the main hall Cassie admired the high ceilings and the deep red carpet that covered the large lecture hall. As they were all seated Dan pointed out that they only filled out half the seats, which caused Cassie to wonder just how many students were actually going to attended this summer. As they all waited for what was going to happen next, but many could be heard whispering just trying to guess. As the older man from the boat walked onto the stage he was fallowed by a Dr. Kenzie, The old lady with the purple hair, a middle aged woman with a warm smile and a very spring time wardrobe, and a young man that Cassie felt that she had seen somewhere before. .
"Hello everyone I hope you had a nice ride over," The shorter, slightly balding man said in a rather cheery tone.
"Is that your' uncle?" Cassie whispered to Dan.
"Yea," he whispered back.
"OK, but before we get started with splitting you up into your' groups I would just like to tell you all the one major rule is to please dot not go towards reef on the north side of the island . it is a very fragile ecosystem that doesn't need to be disturbed unless absolutely necessary. And on the note we will start by asking you to make sure that you know who your advisor is so when we call their names you can follow them to receive your pokemon," said the old man as he shielded his eyes from the lights.
Dr. Kenzie then walked up to introduce the teachers." If your instructor is Ms Bante please stand up and fallow her to the Oak Lecture Hall." About a third of the group stood up and fallowed behind the purple haired old lady in a long purple skirt and a black blouse.
"Everyone who has Ms. Anthos please fallow her to the Ivy Lecture Hall," said the young woman who motioned to the young women who was wearing a warm orange summer dress and curvy red hair which flowed down to her mid back. About thirty students got up and fallowed her.
Now only about half of the students remained left. Their were only three people left on the stage now, and the dean didn't really seem interested into taking on a bunch of students. Dr. Kenzie who would more than likely take on some students and a young man that Cassie struggled to try to recognize.
"If you have me as your instructor please get up and fallow me to the Lance Lecture Auditorium," She said walking out of the room, with over half of the remaining students fallowing her out.
Now that everyone besides about twenty students remained, the young man and the principal stepped forward.
"Well hello everyone. I would like to introduce you to our newest councilor Blake Ashton, which will be your' mentor," The dean said. He then left off stage.
Cassie's jaw dropped. That is where she had seen him from. Even though he was a little older he stilled had that spark in his eye that reminded her of a kid with a new toy. He was the young trainer from the T.V. with the slowking that destroyed the machamp in finals. Turing to see who was left in the group she noticed that Dan was still here which made her glad. Also there was the blond girl that knocked Dan down when they were on the boat, and a boy whom was setting next to her was about Dan's height, but tan and more confident looking with dull brown hair. Then there was an Asian girl sitting away from everyone wearing glasses and her hair in hanging pigtails. There were a couple of other kids, but they seemed to not be very interesting at this point.
"Well I would like to welcome you all, but before we go any further I would like to give you your pokemon," He said as he pulled a cart full of pokeballs from off stage. "Well I'm going to call your' names one by one to come get your pokeball before we head outside."
"I'm so excited," Cassie said to Dan with a grin spreading across her lightly freckled face.
"Aurora could you please come up," Blake said.
As the pretty, but mean girl got up and walked to the stage she gave off an air of arrogance. She walked up to the stage and took the ball from Blake's hand. Not even saying thank you before she walked off stage.
"Raananah Could you please come got your pokemon," Mr. Blake said
The Asian girl stood up and walked to the stage with her head down not looking at anyone as she made her way to the stage. She wore a white shirt and a red skirt.
"Thank you," she said, but Blake barely was able to hear her.
As the rest of the students including Dan got called to the stage it was finally Cassie's turn. As Cassie walked up to the stage her heart began to beat a little faster than normal. Walking up the stage's stairs Cassie lost her footing and tripped right as he was handing her the pokeball. Dropping it to the floor it released her pokemon.
"See se dot," the small acorn like pokemon said
"Are you ok," Blake said offering her his hand.
Cassie could hear the blond girl snickering and some of the other kids whispering. She looked out in the crowd and saw Dan getting up out of his seat.
"No I'm fine," Cassie said pulling herself up. She could feel her face getting red. She then saw her pokemon the small brown nut pokemon just stared at her, which kinda creped her out. Picking up her pokeball and her new pokemon she walked back to her seat after thanking her teacher.
Sitting there with her pokemon the two just sat there looking at each other.
"My names Cassie," she whispered to the seedot.
"Se seedot," he said.
"OK now that everyone has their pokeballs lets go outside so we can introduce ourselves," Blake said as her motioned everyone to fallow him out the door.
As they all walked outside Cassie carried seedot. Walking out into the warm sun they all stood in the middle of the flowering field. Seedot began to struggle in Cassie's arms. As she sat it down the seedot began to smell the flowers and roll around.
"What is your pokemon doing," Aurora almost snickering at the fact that she knew Cassie couldn't answer.
"Well as hopefully some of you should know that seedot is a grass pokemon, so in turn a beautiful field like this would cause it to feel very relaxed and happy," Said Blake as he winked at Cassie.
Aurora just brushed it off. Knowing that she just got caught trying to embarrasses Cassie even more.
"Ok Everyone please release your pokemon," Mr. Blake said
As all the students threw their pokeballs into the air silver light erupted all around them with pokemon taking form from the light.
