The doors got pushed opened and all of the students walked in. They stood in a vast white-tiled hallway. There were pictures hanging on the walls of pokemon and other things of that sort. The hall was covered in bright sunlight. They looked up-the ceiling was made of nothing but glass!
"Yes, yes, I'm delighted you like the ceiling," some one down the hall said, "but I must get you to the Ceremony Hall." They all looked down the hall-a man with grayish-white hair that was parted in the middle was standing at the end of the hall. "Come on, now," he said.
The students walked over to him. "Ok, before we go, I just want to tell you that I'm the Pokemon Battle Strategies teacher, Mr. Beacon." he said. They all nodded in unison. Mr. Beacon turned and led them to the Ceremony Hall. When there, they all sat down at the many tables. Ash, May, Anne (who had met them back in the hall), and their new friend Cyrus (who had been in the hall, with Anne) sat at the one closest to the teachers'.
A woman stood up and said, "Welcome, to the Blackthorn Academe Of pokemon! I'm the headmistress, Miss. Mary Nosheno, but you can just call me 'Mistress Mary.' On Friday, we will be having a dance party so you can meet your fellow classmates! Just wear what ever you'd wear every other day of the week.
"Now onto the issue of the place you will be staying...here! This school has rooms to stay in for you. They're not decorated, so you can do it the way you want! We also have 5 little living rooms. One is for 9 and 10 year olds, one for 11 and 12 year olds, one for 13 and 14 years, one for 15 and 16 years, and one for 17 and 18 years old. If you are 15, don't go into the 17 and 18 years room. Our classrooms are scattered everywhere in the building, too. There are a lot of classes, so you get to pick which ones you want to be in!" Mistress Mary said, "Mrs. Roselyn, will pass out a sheet that has the classes on them. Just check the ones you want and put your whole name on it."
Mrs. Roselyn passed out the papers with pens, to each of the students. Ash, May, Cyrus, and Anne looked down the list, and with the pens, checked the ones they wanted. ________________________________________________________________ The classes: @-Anne's, #-Cyrus's, +-May's, X-Ash's

"What classes are you in, May?" Ash asked. She looked up.
"See for yourself," she said. She handed him the sheet. He looked down it, then handed it back to her. May looked over his shoulder at his list of classes. "Ash, you must have at least eight classes!" she said.
Ash shrugged. "So what?" he asked.
"Nothing. Why would you need to do 'Pokemon Leagues?'" May asked, "You've been in the pokemon league!"
"Because I want to know as much as possible. Why would you need to? Your aren't a trainer," Ash said.
"Because when you try again for the title of pokemon master I'll know what's going on," she said. Before Ash could reply, Mistress Mary started talking, while Mrs. Roselyn picked up the pens and lists: "Ok, you'll get your schedule later this week. I'd like to say that this would be a good time to let you loose to explore. Get to know the school halls and rooms before next week, when you start your classes!"
Everyone stood up and went out the double doors to the hallway out side. There, Ash, May, Cyrus, and Anne went to search for all of the classrooms in the school.
