Disclaimer: same as on Chapter 2

"Good morning class, I'm the Pokémon Health I and II instructor, Franz Bond, we'll start today with a roll call... Amano?..." It was Monday morning, the day classes resume for the new school year. Tommy looked around the classroom, seeing if he recognized anyone. He saw one of his buddies from his hometown, giving him a head tilt up to say hey. River was in his class and that was it for people he knew. "Lazarus?..." No one in the room replied. Bond repeated himself, again there was silence. "No Lazarus, he will be missing out on my amazing knowledge," he commented to himself, resuming the roll call.

Tommy was shaking his head at the fact that Kirk was skipping class on the first day, thinking to himself that he was probably still in bed. When the teacher got to Stone he replied with a 'here'. Shortly after roll was taken the door opened and a student walked in. Looking up, Tommy noted that it wasn't Kirk. He also noted it was a very attractive girl.

She was rather tall at about 5'8 and was wearing dark blue denim shorts, a blank tank top under a white zip-up jacket, and black converse shoes. "And your name, miss?" Bond asked her as she stood in the doorway. Steven Heigel stepped passed her, telling Professor Bond something in a hushed tone. After he finished speaking with Bond, he turned to walk out, giving the girl a look with narrowed eyes, with a barely noticeable shake of the head. "Class, this is Devon Kelly, she is a transfer student from Opelucid High. Even though most of you don't know each other, help her feel at home as well... Alright to start off here is the syllabus..."

Tommy was not paying attention to what Mr. Bond was saying, instead, glancing at this Devon girl. As she walked past, he saw that she had straight black hair with a side fringe that went to her mid-back, storm gray eyes, and sun-kissed skin with a nice athletic body. She sat in a desk a few seats back from him. Tommy took the syllabus from the student in front of him and passed the rest back, groaning to himself as the class began.

After a few more classes, Tommy sighed to himself, having gotten no homework thus far. He hoped the same was happening to the rest of the team, remembering he had to do their homework this week. It was now lunch time, and he went into the cafeteria. Students were jam packed into the large room, nearly every table was full and the line to get food was nearly to the door. Thinking he'd wait for it to die down he looked around the room for his friends. He spotted Devon from his Health class sitting at a table with some girls towards the middle of the room, she had no problem adapting well, he thought to himself. After a few more seconds scanning he found Kirk (to his surprise) at a table with Freddie, River, Shane, and Eavan.

"Hey guys," he said, taking a seat at their table.

"Sup young fresh?" Kirk asked him, giving him a bro-shake.

"You're lucky you skipped today, Health was boring as crap dude. I can't wait til I can skip too."

"Oh we got the same class together? No shit, hah!" Kirk chuckled to himself. He hadn't even looked at his class schedule other than to see what time lunch was.

"Whose brownies?" Tommy asked, noticing the large plastic container in the center of the table.

"I made em earlier, help yourself man," Shane said, pushing them towards the freshman.

"YOU made those?" a girl sitting next to Shane asked him, a smile on her face.

"Yea babe, one of my specialties," he grinned back, pulling them from Tommy before he could grab one, offering them to the girl. "Oh, guys, this is Rebecca, by the way."

Eavan rolled her eyes at the fellow junior, "You mean she's your girl of the da-" she began.

"Attention everyone!" a voice boomed from a megaphone at the doors coming in. "Tyler Du-tshshsh ((static)) is entering the cafeteria!" Tyler said as he lowered his megaphone, earning some cheers and applause from the students, many getting up to greet him.

"Does he bring that megaphone everywhere?" Tommy asked his teammates.

"Yepp. And this is how he enters the cafe every time," Eavan replied blankly.

"I think it's pretty cool, I wish I could do that and get applause," Freddie stated, taking a large bite from a brownie.

Tyler was flanked with Barry, Megan, Colin, and Harper as he walked through the crowd. "Move it... Move it!" he said annoyed, pushing past a student to get to the table the rest of the team was at. "What's the word team?"

"Man.. that was some stupid shit, gimme that," Kirk said, taking the megaphone from him, standing on top of the table. "Showtime baby," he said to himself before speaking into the megaphone, "The unidentified Pokémon Trainer has already been in the building! Standing at six feet, 195 pounds of pure shredded muscle, brothers hide your sisters, that's what I'm talkin' about baby. What's up Humilau Highhhh!?" Kirk finished his little speech with his arm in the arm and nodding his head quickly with a smirk.

"Who are you?" some random guy asked with narrowed eyes.

"What a weirdo," the Rebecca girl commented, getting up to leave, Shane calling after her.

Kirk spoke again into the megaphone, "Y'all just wait til this Saturday. All you's gotta know... is that I'm the shit, and y'all about to smell it. Lightin' it up in the arena baby. Now that's what I'm talki-" Tyler grabbed the megaphone back from his teammate, glaring at the freshmen. He pulled him down from the table, holding his shirt tightly.

"You ever grab my megaphone again, I'll kick you square in the nuts," Tyler whispered to Kirk, letting him go. He turned around to go to his own table, reserved in the middle of the room. There was a guy with his back to Tyler hitting on Megan, "Can I help you, bromigo?" he said into the megaphone, putting it next to the guy's ear. He shuddered at the loudness of it, and walked away quickly.

Tyler and the four teammates he walked in with went and sat down at their table. "Hey Tyler, you ever get Karim's list?" Harper asked, talking about the hazing the captain sent Karim on.

"That's riiight. Eh, screw it, I don't really care. But if he did it, more props to the shy guy," Tyler replied, reclining in his chair with his feet on the table. He turned to his aquamarine blue haired teammate, "Don't even give them the time of day, they only like you cause you're smoking hot and on the battling team."

Megan's usual smile appeared, replying, "Oh don't worry, he was on the extreme race team..." All heads at the table turned to face her.

"What gaul," Harper commented, stretching out 'gaul', "I bet the loser thinks he's hot stuff."

"Did you slam the door?" Colin asked.

"It was never open," she laughed in reply.

"Atta girl. So guys, I heard from Coach that Bell hooked us up with two new replacements for Nyx and Remmy," Tyler added while nodding his head with a smile.

"When do we meet them?" Colin questioned.

"Today's practice."

AN: Soo sorry for the delay on this one guys, and it's rather short :/ real life has been a killer lately with school, the holiday several weeks ago, and just everything that I have going on at the moment. Thankfully I just finished off this semester so that's a bonus. I can't tell you how many times I sat down trying to write this and my mind was just blank.

But I do hope you enjoy this update, I got a good laugh in while writing it. Reviews are greatly appreciated :D

Devon Kelly is the OC of Sandgem.
