Action: I'm excited to announce the beginning of ESA and I hope it doesn't take as long to write as the previous books.

Kai: Just saying you wrote more than double the first book in the same amount of time.

Nix: Just try your best, we are here at your disposal.

Action: Like last time the characters will have their own theme songs.

Nexus: Though to establish characters, Action is on the fence on when to start using them.

Action: Luna if you would do the disclaimer.

Luna: Action doesn't own pokemon, music links, and art if used.

~Kai's~

There were two letters on the dining room table and beside me was my sister Jinx though if you call her that, better run for the hills. Our father took time off work and came back to the mansion once we told him about school reform.

"You both need to go through the new acceptance exam to be admitted as Juniors at ESA" our father's voice is stoic. Our father Maximilian Blaze, a Blaziken who is the head of the Blaze industry. We cover pokemon biology/testing as well as vegetation and crop industries across the world. "You understand what happens if you both fail to get in?" He looked at us both expectantly.

"Yes dad we understand" Both Nix and I said in unison.

"Also Kai we don't need any more slip-ups" My father sent a glare my way. "Make sure both of you keep up with your training and pack up your bags in preparation to move into the school dorms" With that said he then left the dining room. "I'll be back at the end of the semester to make sure everything goes well. Now to get back to work" As always our father was out. I decided to head up to my room as he left to do as he asked. I packed my clothes, blankets, headphones, and judo outfits in two duffle bags. I decided to take a break and rest on my heating rock. It's a smooth piece of stone and can heat up to a comfortable 300 degrees celsius.

How rude of me not to explain, I'm Kai Blaze, a soon-to-be third year at ESA. Before the school reform, I was the Judo club captain for two years. My dream is to become stronger than the infamous Tyler Loft. My hero since I saw him compete in Holy road, which was only when I was in the eighth grade when I saw him a little over two years ago. I then watched all of his previous matches and the ones to come. My father never let me watch his contests since he said those are for frilly gay men. However, I snuck in and watched a few. I wish I could've gone to see him in the contest when he was here during winter break last year. Luna even got the chance to fight him, of course, she lost though from the recording he seemed really weak. I wonder why that was. I do remember reading Ferrum had a crisis with their previous Dean and some students were involved. After that, I did see the Grand festival and the Chroma League. He had a great show during his duo performance with Mona the Empoleon. Only for him to lose because Yowai caught him off guard. His showing in the Chroma League was a massive change and in all three rounds, he was awesome. In the first round, he took out a whole team of three by himself and I had to hand it to the opposing team to try to get it back, but Tyler was too good. In the second round, he got reckless and showed a new aggressive side. He was going as far as demolishing the distortion world. He proceeded to the finals and lost to the golden boy Volcan, not after Showing Liz a thing or two. As a first year, he did well but it looked like he was still getting his bearings. Though this past summer was awesome with all the amazing fights I couldn't stop watching. Two major appearances from our new gym leader Xavier and the Mysterious Axel who resembles Tyler's devil power very closely. I'm happy to say Tyler won the whole tournament making him number one.

"Wake up, the movers are here" Nix woke me up by turning off my rock and I instantly felt cold.

"I told you before to not turn off my rock" I complained through a tired groan. I got up and stretched my body.

"Anything special you can give to them otherwise bring your bags with you to the school" Nix then walked out with her hands in her pockets. I didn't realize I fell asleep. I looked at my bags and then proceeded to my closet. Moving a few things out of the way I reached the back where I had secret things hidden away from my father's and my friends' view. The only other pokemon who knows about this is Nix. In a drawstring bag labeled 'delicate', I stuffed what I could from the secret compartment I have and placed the bag on my bed. I grabbed my three bags and went downstairs where one of the butlers was.

"Can you tell the movers they can take my rock, tv, and video games?" I said casually as I went outside. The butler bowed. I then joined my sister outside as we had a limo waiting for us and we got inside. We live at the edge of Evergreen which is a fifteen-minute drive to the school.

"It seems we got a new school president with the new reform. His name is Sol Lumino. I hear he was asked to be the president personally thanks to the legendary committee" Nix started to explain what was going on. She was slouched. I remembered she spends her time with Luna and gets the inside scoop. "Not only that but we will do some form of entrance exam to weed out the students and what type of class they'll be in. That's all I cared to remember" she let out a sigh.

"Thanks for letting me know" I showed my appreciation with a smile.

"Whatever, I thought I'd be nice after dad was being a hard ass" she scoffed. I smiled knowing this is her way of showing she cares. The ride to the new school was bland but upon arrival, I was amazed at the reconstruction they did over this summer. The school stems from the Evergreen stadium into four blocks and I assume each block is for each grade. Not only that but the dorms were spread out around the area. Students were roaming about looking for where to drop their things off as well as the main entrance. When the limo stopped Nix and I got out and we noticed we got a few stares from those around us. When we made our way to the main entrance there was an odd-looking Garchomp but he had fur and the color scheme of a Mightyena. He was holding a box. He had a name tag and it read 'Aristotle' and underneath he had the title of teaching assistant. Beside him were other pokemon with name tags and boxes. I assume they are all staff here. Though the Garchomp was struggling with his job.

"P-please, take o-one of these before yo-ou enter" he stuttered. I'm guessing he was referring to what was inside the box he was holding. It was a blue ball the size of a blueberry and I grabbed one.

"Thank you" I then made my way inside and the signs were leading us to fill the auditorium. On my way in I saw familiar faces Like Luna and Pollon. As well as new ones like this orange Lycanroc I passed in the hallway.

"Kai, it's good to see you" I looked to my side and it was Pollon.

"Glad to see you as well" I gave her a cheeky smile.

"No need to fake it with me, I already know" Pollon gut punched me with her words.

"Fine, I'll drop the act," I said with a defeated sigh and lost the fake smile. "However we should sit down," I said and Pollon agreed. We decided to sit next to Luna and Nix as other students were filing in. It took another twenty minutes for everyone to arrive and fill in the gym. Not too long after a very well-dressed man with an interesting mane came to the center of the room.

"I'm glad to you all here and let me welcome you to the newly formed Elemental Sector Academy. Composed of the former three city schools now into one. We also are welcoming students from foreign regions with the new reform. I am the president Sol Lumino, the legendary sun deity Solgaleo" With that introduction everyone was in shock. "Classes will start in three days, but of course, you all have yet to move into your dorms. The reason is I have an entrance exam for you all" The whole room started to whisper surprised. "Don't worry you can't fail but if you perform well you may reek benefits. First, we need you to activate your Orbs, the blue drop you got when you came in. Please whisper your name to it and let it scan your body. It will then take the form adaptable to your personality" Lumino explained.

"Kai Blaze" I whispered to the blue Orb and then it scanned my body. My orb then turned to spiked bracelets and attached itself to my wrist. I then noticed everyone around me calibrating their Orbs as well.

"This will be your way of communication, news, and keys to traverse this new academy. Now once you finish just tap your Orb and a screen will come up. If you notice there will be another student there. You will fight this student in one of our eight battlefields and our teachers as well as I will evaluate each battle as it happens. When you are done you will receive your room assignment. Now I feel like I talked for a while so I will leave you all to it" He then left exiting the gym.

"It says I get to fight a guy named Percival," Luna said.

"Never heard that name before" I chimed in.

"He's a transfer from Kanto with high fire manipulation ability," Pollon explained in a monotone voice. I then noticed she was going through student battle data.

"These things already have info on us?" I asked with alarm.

"No, silly," Luna laughed at me. "What they do have, is our previous fight data uploaded from previous years of going to school. Percival must have had his transferred when he applied here" I feel stupid for her to explain that to me. As we continued our conversation I noticed a Haxorus watching us from the corner of my eye and it wasn't like he was lost in thought, more like he was hyper-fixated on one of us.

"Since my match isn't for another hour I think I'll go explore what this place has to offer" I left before the other could object. They would rather me not be alone, especially after what happened not even a month ago. I was walking around and saw a lot. We have a cafe, a food court, a general store, and a pharmacy. I then decided to explore the higher levels of the building. There were classrooms, locker rooms, and vending machines. While I was on the third floor I looked out the window which had an overview of the center of campus. It had a perfect view of the Evergreen stadium in the center of our region and of course, there was a match going on. I then looked down and saw an Altaria with a Sylveon sitting in a gazebo. I sighed as I continued walking, ignoring the sight in front of me.

"Ace, why did you have to side with Angel? If you stayed neutral none of that would have happened" I sighed. I tapped my bracelet and my screen came up. My screen came up and it showed my opponent Zeek Blitz. I sighed again, why does my past have to catch up to me now? I keep it moving as my fight will take place on battlefield number five in the junior section of the school.

"Please students we don't have much time, you will have a five-minute time limit to show us what you got" a teacher explained our guidelines. All I did was stare at the eclectic zebra in front of me with guilt.

"Let's have a good match" his voice unwavering as I remembered before he stepped out on that day. "Don't think about anything, let's fight if you want to do anything else let it be after" Zeek pressed in his glasses and I finally met his eyes.

"If both sides are ready. Battle, begin!" The teacher announced.

(Dragoncraft theme - Shadowverse anime) A/N: Kai's theme

Without flinching, Zeek released his electric power and it changed the field around us and it was zapped with electricity. He then charged at me with fire all around his body and I took it head-on.

Action: Here is the beginning of ESA, or at least a part of it.

Kai: Well I get the spotlight now.

Pollon: I get the best friend role, weird.

Zeek: What am I even doing appearing in the first chapter.

Luna: It's a teaser calm down.

Action: We hope to see you in the actual book.

Nix: Bye!
