A/N I don't own Pokemon, Nintendo, OR SSBM. Anyone who has read Interstellar Pig will recognize the scene with Fox and Falco, you know what I mean if you've read it. Next chapter, some special Pokemon make a special appearance…So just hang in there, the first day is ALMOST OVER. This chapter is about one-and-three-fourths as long as I'd like it to be. In other words, it's almost twice as long as a "normal" chapter.

When he got there, X was there, too.

"X? How did you get here?" Ryuu asked.

"Well, after Sergeant Boring was done explaining human world junk, he told me to go to class early. How about that. Anyway, why are you here?" He said.

"To go to class…?" Ryuu answered.

"But…" X motioned to the clock.

"I don't really have a lot to do. I like flying and TV, but flying gets a little boring if you do it too much and the only TV I've ever seen is in Kamaitachi's room, and I don't want to trouble him by asking to use it."

"You sound like Infinity." X said, turning his chair around. That statement made Ryuu look down, now feeling sort of embarrassed. It also made him think of Infinity.

"I wonder how she's doing, by the way." Ryuu said, raising his head all of a sudden.

"You're still worrying about her? Miyamoto said she's going to be fine." An ever-familiar smirk spread across his face. "But maybe if you like her…"

"Well, yeah, she's a comrade, or whatever."

The smirk got even wider. "No…I mean…like-like her!"

Ryuu blushed. "I-I do not! Why or how would I like her? I mean, what reason is there? How do you…like someone?"

X turned his chair around again, but not before making kissing noises. "Well, whatever…"

Ryuu crossed his arms and looked away, still blushing. Do I really like her? He wondered. I'm not sure if I've ever liked someone like that in my whole life. But I am acting kind of strange…Does that count? Ryuu sat down, next to X of course.

"Do you like anyone? As in…you know?" Ryuu asked.

"Nah, not really. But I might like someone eventually. Well, there is this really pretty Rocket-lady who I've been kinda checking out…" He said. Then, Inu came into the classroom. There were about 11 more minutes left until class started. Soon, students started filling the classroom and by 2:30 the class was full. A man with glasses came into the room.

"Good afternoon." He said. "First, you'll all learn the first 151 Pokemon."

He walked over to the podium-like thing. He pressed some buttons on the screen in it, and the huge screen behind him and the screens in the students' desks flickered to life. This is kinda like a TV, Ryuu thought. The man pushed a few more buttons, and a green, Dinosaur-like Pokemon appeared on all the screens. Next to it was its type, its usual dominating stats, attacks, evolutionary chain, weaknesses, resistances, and other information.

"Write its name, its type, and its evolutionary chain down on the paper, this will be on the test." The man said. The air was then filled with the sound of pencils writing on paper. "Good. Here's the next one: Ivysaur." The man pushed another button, and the screen flashed to a different picture. It was pretty much the same, but the bud had grown into a flower, and the Pokemon looked more mature. This process continued until they reached #71, Victreebell. Class was over. "Alright, study the Pokemon types, evolutionary chains, weaknesses and resistances. There's a test in three days."

The class once again filed through the doors. Ryuu tried to find X again. After a few seconds he succeeded. X was the one to run over to Ryuu. "Dude! Was that the most boring lesson ever, or was that the most boring lesson ever?"

"Uh…I guess?" This was Ryuu's first day of class experience, after all.

"I mean, why do we even need to learn this stuff?"

"You know, that's exactly what I'd like to know…" Said Ryuu, starting to get a bit suspicious.

"Anyway, it's Free Time now. Wanna go play some vamos video games?"

"Sure, I'd like to see what they're like…" Ryuu said, following X out of the room. X led him down the hallways, up the elevator, and then to his room. He placed his wing on the sensor to unlock the door, which opened shortly thereafter. They both walked into the room. There was another TV, but a box with wires attached to both controllers and the TV was on the ground as well. X walked over to the first one and grabbed it with his hand-like pair of wings. The other, much more feathered and colorful pair folded in because they were not going to be used. Ryuu sat down as well, finding it slightly tough to grasp, use, and reach the buttons and the controller itself. He then had an idea, and turned into his human form. That made it much easier. X mimicked it, seeing that it worked well. X pushed a button on the box, and the screen, like Kamaitachi's, flickered to life. However, black bars weren't running down the screen this time.

"Hey, where are the black bars?" Ryuu asked as the red oval logo appeared on the screen, disappearing after a few seconds.

"Huh? Well, this is a higher-quality TV, if that's what you mean…" X said. It looked true, the screen was flatter, but the whole thing itself was larger. Then, more images appeared. It was amazing, the things in here looked much more lifelike than what he had seen before. But it was only a background. However, soon a character walked into view, then jumped and spun. He was a man, but he seemed to have a large, cartoonish head. He wore blue overalls with a red shirt and hat and had a brown mustache. Then, three other characters joined him. The first one was an elf-like person clad in green, carrying a sword and a shield. The second one was a pink ball with large, red feet. And the third one was—

"Pikachu!" Ryuu said, wondering why he was there.

"Yup. Super Smash Brothers Melee has a range of Nintendo characters, but I still don't get why Pokemon are there. I mean, we're not owned by Nintendo or anything…"

"That IS kind of weird." Ryuu said, staring at the words "Press Start". X pushed the little grey button in the middle, and it disappeared, revealing some sort of Menu. He scrolled through a few menus, pressing buttons accordingly, and eventually it got to a screen where there were a lot of character pictures and on the bottom, four grey boxes.

"Move your chip, which is blue, over the picture of the character you want to be," X said, "then press the green button. When the game actually starts, use the grey control stick to move, the red and green buttons to attack, and the side-and-grey buttons to shield. But don't use them too much; you'll get stunned for five seconds if you do." He moved his red chip over to a fox-like character, whose name was actually Fox. Ryuu chose a bird-like character, whose name was Falco. "You like Falco? He's Fox's teammate, you know."

"Uh, okay…" Ryuu said.

"We're both fast characters, this should be fun. Since this is your first try, I'll go easy on you. But even I have only played this yesterday and during some of my free time. So, Ryuu, VAMOS!" He pressed a button, and right before Ryuu's eyes a stage appeared. Fox and Falco materialized, and then, the fight started.

Fox shot high-speed lasers at Falco, who stood around, trying to figure out what to do. He became even more perplexed when the lasers didn't seem to do anything. They didn't hurt, not one bit. Fox kept jumping and dodging all over the place, shooting from different sides, appearing to do nothing. Then, all of a sudden, Falco started feeling tired and started having cramps, or something. The more the lasers hit him, the more tired and hurt he felt. The lasers didn't hurt him on the outside, they hurt him on the inside! Falco dashed over to Fox, trying to get a punch. However, Fox did a super-speed illusionary attack to catch him off-guard and make him flinch. Falco also noticed that Fox was faster than him. However, when Falco jumped, he saw he jumped higher than Fox. Overall, it would make it easier for Fox to dodge on the ground, while Falco would be at ease in the air. Having learned this strategy, Falco jumped into the air, trying to lure Fox as well, doing areial attacks. Fox jumped into the air as well. The moment he did, he lost his advantages. Falco mercilessly drill-kicked him, as well as Reflector-shocking him. Fox flew to the ground, but got up soon afterwards. Falco did the Illusion-Dash, and while Fox was still sailing through the air, Fire-Rocketed him. Fox didn't want to be beaten by his own, much less experienced teammate, so he decided to use his full skills and strategies from then on. He rushed over to Falco, who rushed over to Fox. While Fox tried an Illusionary Dash, Falco did a shield. He saw an opening for an attack when Fox was recovering from the dash, so he did a backflip kick to Fox, sending him sailing. But he wasn't quite out of the arena yet. Fox countered with a drill-kick, then a roundhouse. He Illusion-Dashed, grabbed Falco, then threw him away from solid ground. Falco Fire-Rocketed back to the stage, only to get roundhoused by Fox. That time was a lethal hit, it send him bursting into light. His scream cued the end of the game, X set it to "Stock" and "1". Fox victoriously aimed, and then spun and replaced his laser gun. The results of the game were displayed, both players pressed "start", and the character selection screen was displayed once again.

"Good game, man! That was VAMOS for your first try!" X exclaimed, pushing the same grey button on the box. The little light went out, and the TV went dead.

"Thanks!" Ryuu was smiling. He loved his first experience with video games, he wanted to do it again. "Can we do it again?"

"Sure!" He turned it back on, and Ryuu and X did several more rounds. Ryuu glanced at the clock.

"Oh, we have to go to class pretty soon." He said.

"Okay. I'll just turn this off…" He pushed the off button again. "'Kay, let's go."
