Chapter 11: First Day of School
I woke up in my bed, exausted; wondering how in the world I got here. My pajamas were on; though I do not remember me putting them on. I sat up, and a small headache came to me. My palm founded its way to the side of my head as I got up. Silk was laying down in his bed, quietly; as usual. I looked up at my digital clock that I had set up when I first came to the room. The time was a quarter before midnight. Next to the clock, was eight Pokéballs. They were mine obvious. Someone must have had been nice enough to do that for me.
I heard footsteps coming from the hallway, and I quickly returned to my bed and pretended to be asleep.
Two people walked into the room though see them since my head was facing the opposite direction.
One of them spoke in a young man's voice. "This is the one; Mezuki Gimoichi. He is a rock type trainer who; with the other freshmens; entered the school yesterday."
The other person spoke in a middle aged person's voice. "Do you really think he is the one we need. He looks weak afterall."
Weak! Come on, do I really look that weak! I thought to myself.
"So what now?" The young man said.
"Well, for now, let him be. We got to see what he is capable of first; then see how he grows. That will be the only way we know if he is truly the one we need to stop it."
Stop what? I thought as the two figures left. My headache grew worse, and I stopped thinking about it. Did Silk hear any of it? In a couple of minutes, I fell back asleep.
"Wake up everyone!" Someone shouted; waking me up! It seems Silk got up also. I looked at the time. It was exactly seven in the morning.
"All freshmens are to be in the lobby in thirty minutes. So hurry up and get ready for classes!" The voice belonged to Kitsune Midori.
It took me twenty minutes to take a shower, brush my teeth, put on some clothing, and eat breakfast. Forturnately, each room in the dorm is issued three gallons of milk and two boxes of cereal. That was convienient.
Afterwards, I went to the lobby where all the freshmen's were at. I was the second to last one there; Norma came right after me. The only non-seniors in the lobby were Draco, Kitsune, and a senior guy that I do not know as of right now.
The room was quiet as Draco was beginning to speak. "Okay, since all of you are here, I can say my final word before you go to classes. You, the freshmen, are the future generation of this dorm; and are needed to continue this dorm's name as one of the strongest of the academy."
I didn't know that this dorm was one of the strongest, I wonder who the other strong dorms are.
"So please live up to the name of the Suicune dorm. Besides that, I hope you have an fun year." He said smiling.
Kitsune handed out a sheet of paper to each of us. When I was given one, I read it.

Dismissal From Classes
So I have five classes if you do not count lunch. Okay, that is not too bad. And if I remember correctly, the enviromenal intructor is that William Highsmith; the teacher I met yesterday at the training grounds. Thats who I have first period. I wonder what the other teachers are like. All I want is for the teachers that are not mean. Strict I don't mind, but not mean.
I walked over to Kasumi. "Hey Kasumi, who do you have? Do we have the same schedule?"
She looked at her schedule, then at mine, then back at hers. "No, the only class I have at the same time as you is physical education."
For some reason, I was a little sad at this fact.
"Okay you freshmen." Kitsune said, "Even though there is like a whole hour left before your first period class, as your starting day, all of you must go to the registration hall to register you and your Pokémon into the trainer system. The senior next to Draco is Probus Fin. He will escort all of you to the registration hall and inform you on what to do from there." Kitsune streched; "That is all I think. Well, off to bed. See all of you later!" She walked upstairs and into the Senior door. Draco did the same thing.
Now the only senior here is Probus.
"We should start going. The process is going to take awhile."
We all began to walk. First, we entered the auditorium. Then into the hall that leads to the cafeteria; the cafeteria itself, but instead of going outside, we took a turn into another doorway that led to another section of the school. Another hallway. We eventually stopped when their were two optional directions to go.
Probus pointed straight. "That way is where you would find the gymnasium. So when it is time for your physical education to start, you should have no problem locating it."
The group took a right turn. After thirty seconds of walking, we were finally at the registration hall or atleast I was sure of it because it was a plain tan door with no possible way to look inside of it. On the sde of it read "Registration Hall". Underneath it read the name, "Omay Guning".
"Okay, now everyone just step into te room."
Everyone, one at a time, walked into the registration hall. I was one of the last to walk in, followed by Norma.
The room was a dull grey color with a single counter that spread the entire width of the room, blocking anyone's way to get to the other side. On the far left side, was a movable section of the counter so the person behind the counter can open it up to allow people to enter the back side of the room. Across the walling was a large amount of navy-blue cushioned chairs that were lined up professionally.
A woman with a light green colored cloak came walking in from the back room. She had long blonde hair and it seemed that she was young. Her green eyes matched the cloak that she was wearing. Her smile gave me a warm feeling in my stomach; as if securing myself that I was safe.
"Good morning Ms. Guning." Probus politely said. "Suicune dorm's freshmen."
Ms. Guning seemed happy. "So these are the new students of the Freshmen dorm. I'm happy to see all of you. I am Omay Guning; the only staff member here at the moment."
Probus stretched and yawned; as if trying to get the attention of Ms. Guning.
She giggled at the attempt. "Yes Probus, you can leave now."
Probus smirked at his completed mission. "What? Well, okay, if you insist." He walked out the room quickly, "See you later Ms. Guning! Later Freshmen!" He was gone before I could blink.
We all turned back to Ms. Guning who seem to be happily patient.
"Okay students. Now, to make this the most easiest thing you have to do in your life, I ask that all of you sit down in the chairs that are lined up against the wall and wait until I call your name."
Everyone followed the directions with no problem. I sat next to Silk, who was on my right, and another freshmen who I do not the name of yet, on my left.
"I wonder what they are going to do to us." The student to my left said.
I was thinking about the same thing, but I was not as worried as the student to my left was.
After three minutes of patiently waiting, the first name was called.
"First up, Norma Canti." Ms. Guning said.
Norma walked to the opening. "Okay."
Ms. Guning escorted Norma into the back room. Everything was quiet. No noise was heard from the room.
"Does anyone know what happens during registration?" The freshmen next to me asked.
Kasumi answered. "Well, I have a friend that use to go to the school before she graduated. She told me that during registration, the trainer basically gets a short physical like a person would get from a local clinic. Then your Pokémon are basically scanned into the system and are put into your trainer file."
"Trainer file?" He asked.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to explain it. A trainer file is a universal file that contains all of your experiences in the academy. It contains all of the trainer's basic information; like name, age, grade, dorm, region, city, and so on. The Pokémon you currently own are eye scanned, foot printed or hand printe, and put into your trainer profile and onto the school records. It is just so the school knows what Pokémon you currently own. Also, all of your battle records and trades will be recorded onto your trainer profile. This also includes any achievements you get during your time as a student in this school."
Five minutes past and Ms. Guning and Norma came out from the back. Everyone began to awe. I looked at Norma and see what the people were adressing. Norma had a new attire on. Instread of the jeans and common white shirt that she was wearing; she had white button-up blazer with the schools crest on the top left of the shirt; a Suicune shaped marking on the top right, and on the back of the shirt, a shield with a ball design. It was kinda plain; the ball part I mean. But according to the very little research I did, the ball was the symbol for normal type trainers here at the academy. She also had on a white pleaded skirt with white leggings and shiny black shoes.
Also, the rest of the symbols were that fire trainers gets a shield of a fireball, water trainers gets a shield of a water drop, grass trainers gets a shield of a leaf, electric is a shield of a lightning bolt, fighting is a shield of a fist, bug is a shield of a arachnid design, ice is a sheild of a snowflake, poison is a shield of skull and cross bones, ground is a shield of a crack or fissure, rock is a shield of a mountain, psychic is a shield of an eye, flying is a shield of a feather, ghost is a shield of a gaseous spirit, dragon is a triple slash mark, normal is a white and blue ball, dark is black demon-like figure with wings and horns, and metal is a silver hexagon.
"Euro Kinshop; your next." Ms. Guning said. The Freshmen next to me got up began walking.
"Yes!" He cheered; as if he waited his whole life with this very moment. I noticed that he does tend to over exxagerate with things for no reason.
About the same time had passed as when Ms. Guning was with Norma. When they came out, Euro was smiling way to hard. He had a similar blazer, but instead of a shield of a white and blue ball on the back of the blazer, it was a shield of fist. Euro was a fighting type trainer.
After a few more people went, Ms. Guning called on me.
"Next up; Mezuki Gimoichi."
I stood up and walked to the other side of the counter.
"Right this way." She said. I looked back at Kasumi. She already got her school uniform. Her shield was a water drop.
I walked into the room with Ms. Guning.
The room was small, larger than my dorm room, but smaller than the lobby in the Suicune dorm. The room was bright, and looked like a clinic in my hometown.
"Okay Mezuki, if you don't mind, please remove your clothing besides your underwear and socks. Afterwards, put this on." She handed me a light patient robe that a person would wear during their time at a hospital.
I did as I was told. The robe was so light that it felt like I had no clothing on; besides my underwear of course.
"May you please step onto this platform?"
There was a square tile on the floor that was a different color than the rest of the tiles. Instead of white, it was a navy blue color. I did. A beeping sound began and stopped as fast as it started.
"Weight equals one hundred, fourty two pounds. Height equals five feet, five inches."
Did the tile just talked? Where did they buy this type of tile? Maybe a mall?
A few minutes passed, and the physical was just about done. I had my ears checked, my eyes, mouth, and my joints.
"Okay Mezuki, one more step left before we are done here. I need you to summon all of your Pokémon for them to be recorded by that recorder over there. At the far end of the room where ten large capsule-like structures. They were big enough to fit two Onixs uncurled in it. The roof was high enough.
I went to my belt and took out my seven Pokéballs. I summoned everyone; Tyranitar, Rhydon, Onix, Tirtouga, Cranidos, Geodude, Lunatone, and even Aerodactyl; though I was still unsure about this.
Everyone looked around the clean room. They also saw that another person was in the room and knew not to talk so Ms. Guning doesn't suspect that I can communicate with Pokémon.
"Wow Mezuki, you got a nice group of Pokémon. I bet that you will do great in the tournaments this year." Ms. Guning said looking at all of my Pokémon. "Can you ask them to each go into a capsule?
"Thanks, and okay." I said. That was the first time that I someone had complemented me on my team. However, I think she was just being nice when she said that I can do great in the tournaments this year. I'm just a freshmen, I can't do much.
"Can you all please each step into one of those capsules please?" I began. "Don't worry, nothing is going to happen. It is a rquirement in this school." I ensured them. They followed my orders without question, something that I liked about my Pokémon. Even Geodude and Lunatone, my two recent catches, did as I asked. It seemed that they quickly found trust in me.
The capsule closed, and a light began to spin. None of them seemed scared by this, which made the process easy. I noticed that Aerodactyl seemed upset about something. I knew this because everytime he has something important in his mind that he keeps thinking about, he looks down to the side. I am going to have a discussion with him later. He did mess up yesterday morning, but I guess it was probably a once in a life time occurence.
The light stopped and the capsules opened. It was about a fifteen second process. Everyone walked out of the capsules; with the exceptions of Tirtouga, Onix, Lunatone, and Geodude. Tirtouga crawled out, since he can barely stand. Onix slithered out. Lunatone floated out. And Geodude rolled out of the capsule.
I returned all of them back into their Pokéballs.
A hidden section of the wall opened. "Mezuki, based on your height and width, you have been issued two sets of uniforms."
A hanger came out of the hole in the wall to reveal a blazer, white slacks, a white t-shirt, thin black dress socks, and black shoes. The blazer was white, with the school's crest on the upper right and the Suicune design on the top right. On the back of the shirt, was the shield of a mountain-like design.
"Your other uniform will be sent to your room with other items later in the day while you are in you are in your classes."
I put on my uniform. It was a perfect fit. Not too tight, not too loose; just perfect. It felt good to be wearing the uniform. Makes me feel like everyone else; even though I was much different from the rest of the students.
"Okay Mezuki, we are done here. Lets step outside so I can call the last few people." Ms. Guning said. She was a really nice person; and seemed innocent also. Like she had never sneaked in an extra snack at night or watched television in the middle of the night when your parents say its bed time.
We stepped outside to meet the rest of my dorm's freshmen. Nobody was amazed at my uniform since I wasn't one of the first to get it. Norma got the most attention than anyone else. It didn't matter to me though.
When everyone was finished, we all sat down in the chairs, not knowing what to do next.
Ms. Guning came out with multiple sheets of papers. "Okay students, now that we are all finished here, I can give you a pass to go to your first period class." She gave us each a pass that said each of our names, the current time, the location we were going, and her signature. It was like school back at Saffron.
"And remember one thing, when you get a new Pokémon, make sure to come here to register it into your student file. Anyone caught having a Pokémon that is not registered will get serious consequences." Ms. Guning advised, "all trades will be automatically recorded into the system if done properly by the trading machine we have here." There was a small machine in the corner of the room. Above it on the wall, it said trading station. "Okay, have fun, and make sure you go to class. Don't want to get caught skipping." She smiled as we all left the room.
We all began to walk to our classes. I looked back at my schedule. I have environmental studies. I took out the map I had of the school. I picked it up before leaving my room. I didn't want to make the mistake I did yesterday.
I hope everything turns out good here at the academy. And I wonder who those people were last night that came to my room. For now, I will keep what happened to myself. The strange dream I had and those two people in my room.
Sorry for taking awhile to upload. Actually, this chapter was finished about a week and a half ago but I never found time to upload.
Also, in about six to nine chapters, I am thinking about making a time skip to the middle of the year. What do you guys think about it?
Review please and answer my question please.
