After meeting one of the Elite Four, Orihime has been working as hard as she can for competition. For now, Rena is planning to show her old school. As they all were riding a monorail to the school, they were all impressed that they have to ride a monorail to the school.
"I can't believe we're actually riding this thing to your school." Ichigo said.
"Well, it's on a small island." Rena said. "It's also one of the best schools in the region. You've got to expect some great treatment."
"Hey, I think I see it." Orihime said as they could see Rena's old school just ahead. It certainly looked like an amazing place. Time to take a revisit to school.
You're just a kid on a quest
To be the best of the best
Someday your destined for power and glory
You know you're up to the test
There's only one way to tell this story
Be a hero
Be a hero
All the power is at your command
Face your fears and show you're a hero
The future of the world is in your hands
Pokémon
(Ichigo's voice) School's Out
Once the monorail came to a stop, all of them exited the the monorail and saw the school. It certainly did look like one of the more fancy schools.
"Well, what do you think?" Rena said. "We've got some of the best equipment around, great teachers, we're allowed to have our own pokemon, and the school even provides us ones to use."
"Everything you need to know to being a trainer is found on this island." All of them looked to see Ivan was there to greet them.
"Ivan! What are you doing here?" Rena said.
"I thought I come join you for the tour with our new friends here." Ivan said.
"The more the merrier." Rukia said.
"Oh, Ivan! Wait for me!" All of them looked to see one more was joining them. It was another beauty with long and big blonde hair. She had a blue hairband with a blue dress and a sky blue blouse. She also carried a sky blue parasol with her.
"Silvia?" Rena said as she didn't seem happy to see her.
"Hey, Silvia. What are you doing here?" Ivan said.
"Well, I heard you were giving a tour around the school, and I wanted to aid you." Silvia said as she was moving past him and towards the group. "Besides, I also heard that Rena was back. I just had to come see her. Rena, it's so good to see you again!" She said as she hugged her old friend, but Rena didn't seem that excited to see her.
"I think I know why you're really here." Rena whispered.
"Well, there's no way I'm going to let you spend quality time with Ichika so easily." Silvia whispered.
"Silvia, let me introduce you to Rena's friends." Ivan said.
"Hi. I'm Ichigo, and this is Absol."
"Absol."
"My name is Orihime."
"I'm Rukia."
"And my name is Chad."
"It's a pleasure to meet all of you." Silvia said. "Well, shall we get this tour started." They all headed out with the three of them showing Ichigo's group around the school. What none of them knew was that there was another. Gliscore climbed off the monorail and tried to follow them. It certainly did seem like an amazing place. Great courses, great teachers, and they even have their own arena for battling.
"This place is amazing. How can anyone even get in?" Ichigo asked.
"It's not easy." Ivan said. "It's a pretty prestigious school, and you've got to pass a tough entrance exam in order to get in. However, it's worth it if you want to be the best trainer you possibly can. Rena here had enough confidence to leave and go on her journey thanks to this place."
"Yeah, but I remember you were always a little slow on the lessons." Rena mocked.
"Rena, I've heard you've been competing in Pokemon Talent Star." Silvia said. "Am I correct to assume that you're going to enter in the one tomorrow?"
"You bet. It's also going to be the debut of a new pokemon I have." Rena said.
"That sounds great." Ivan said. "Orihime, Rena tells me you're a show-woman too. It will be exciting to see a performance between the two of you."
"Yeah, one that I'm going to win." Rena said.
"What about you and Silvia, Ivan?" Orihime asked.
"I don't think I'm quite ready for a journey just yet." Ivan said.
"And I'm still a little undecisive of what I want." Silvia said. "I haven't even found the right partner for met yet. I want a pokemon that is beautiful, glamorous, and fabulous. Sadly, I haven't found a pokemon like that just yet."
"Speaking of pokemon, I think it's time we show you guys the pokemon we have here." Ivan said. Ivan and the girls showed Ichigo and the others the pokemon they keep in this school. They showed them a special spot that allows them to interact with small pokemon that the school also allows them to use.
"Look at all of the adorable pokemon." Orihime said.
"Yeah. These pokemon are used for battle practice." Rena said. "The best part is that whenever you feel ready to go on a journey, you can take one of these pokemon with you."
"Seriously?!" Ichigo said.
"Well, as long as it's a pokemon that hasn't evolved yet." Ichika said. "That way, it's a real test of your skills and knowledge as a trainer when you really head out."
"Amazing." Rukia said. "Usually, new trainers choose from three pokemon. Here in Kalos, it would be between a Fennekin, Chespin, and Froakie."
"Rena, is that how you got Ninetales?" Orihime asked.
"No. Ninetales was a gift from my father. You are allowed to bring your own pokemon in." Rena said.
"All of which is what makes this one of the best schools around." Silvia said. While they were all talking about this, a Roggenrola came walking out. When it did, it spotted Silvia.
"Roggenrola!" Roggenrola seemed really happy to see Silvia. It ran right over and to her and snuggled against her leg. All of them spotted it with Silvia stepping away from it.
"Who is that pokemon?" Orihime asked.
"It's a Roggenrola." Rukia said.
"It seems to like Silvia." Chad said.
"Yeah. This little guy seems to be smitten with her." Ivan said as he lifted Roggenrola off the ground. "Silvia, you're pretty good at school, and this little guy seems to really like you. Why not take it with you as your partner?"
"I want my first pokemon to be of class. Not something that looks like a cross between a rock and a berry." Silvia said. That seemed to hurt Roggenrola. While they were all talking, Gliscore was just outside the building. Gliscore spotted Ichigo and Absol and looked ready for a battle.
"Gliscore..." Gliscore was about to go in and get them, but its tail accidentally hit a switch. Coincidentally, it was the switch that powered the whole building. When all the power went out, all of them were surprised and the pokemon went wild with it.
"Not good!" Rena said. With the power out, nothing stopped the pokemon from heading straight out the door. All of them went right out and let loose on the school's grounds. "Oh no! All of them got out!"
"We need to get them back!" Ivan said.
"We'll help you." Ichigo said as all of them hurried to get their pokemon back. That didn't go the way Gliscore expected.
...
Ichigo
With all those pokemon running free, they roamed around schoolgrounds. Ichigo and the rest of them did what they could to find them and get them back to their pens. Ichigo and Absol went to a pond and found a couple Lilliepups playing around.
"There they are." Ichigo said. He and Absol hurried to catch them, but the Lilliepup tried running off thinking they were playfully being chased. Absol jumped ahead and cut them off. Ichigo grabbed the Lilliepup and kept them from going anywhere. "Back to where you belong."
"Absol."
...
Rukia
Rukia headed for the water that surrounded the island. She found a few water-types there that were trying to make a swim for it.
"I knew some pokemon would try to swim away from the school." Rukia said as she grabbed two of her pokeballs and tossed them out. "Dewgon! and Jynx, give me a hand!"
"Dewgong!"
"Jynx!"
"I want both of you to use Ice Beam! Lure those pokemon back this way!" Rukia said. Both of her pokemon used the same attack and formed ice around the pokemon. The pokemon forced themselves to turn around. When they got closer to land, Rukia grabbed a hold of them and gave them to Jynx. "Jynx, now use Teleport and take them back to the pens."
"Jynx." Jynx used teleport and that made things much easier to bring them back.
...
Chad
A few small pokemon hid themselves behind some bushes and such. They probably would have remained hidden there. Chad was able to find them as he was able to move them out of the way and spotted the pokemon.
"Let's go. You really shouldn't be roaming around by yourselves." Chad said as he was able to get them to come along.
...
Orihime
Orihime was able to find some pokemon herself. They were about to flyaway, but she had the ingenious idea to use Solrock's Trick Room to prevent them from flying away.
"I'm sorry about this." Orihime said as she didn't want them to feel like they're inprisoned. "It's just that we can't have you all flying off. Don't worry. You'll be back in your pens soon."
...
The Pens
With all of them working together, they were able to get all the digimon back before they really left the island. Ivan and Rena counted the pokemon and were making sure they had all of them.
"How are they? Did we get all of them?" Ichigo asked.
"Almost." Ivan said. "I think the only one that's still missing is that Roggenrola, the one that appears to be really like Silvia."
"That one shouldn't be too hard to find. Silvia just needs to stand out and Roggenrola might come to her." Rena said.
"Let's hope she already found it before anything really happens." Ivan said.
...
Silvia
With only one pokemon left to find, Silvia looked around to see if she could find anything.
"Where haven't we checked yet?" Silvia questioned as she looked around for where Roggenrola could be.
"Roggenrola!" Silvia heard Roggenrola call out. She looked around to see where it came from. She kept looking until she looked up and spotted Roggenrola up on a large tower. If Roggenrola falls form there, it will be greatly bad.
"Roggenrola, stay there! Don't move!" Silvia called. She hurried as fast as she could. She may not want that Roggenrola as her partner, but she doesn't want anything really bad to happen to it. Silvia climbed the stairs of the tower as fast as she could, motivated by the fearful thought of Roggenrola falling from there. Silvia was able to make it to the top and opened up a small door and carefully stepped up. It's a little breezy, but she had to try and make it through it.
"Roggenrola..."
"It's going to be okay. Let's just get you down." Silvia said as she carefully moved closer without looking down. She tried moving closer, but Roggenrola spotted something. It looked like a flock of Spearrow coming at Silvia and they didn't look happy. The tower must be their territory.
"Roggenrola!" Roggenrola tried warning her, but it was too late. They came at her and started pecking at her.
"You're hurting me! Stop that!" Silvia said as she tried to resist them. Roggenrola helped out as it used Sandstorm to blow them away, but the force of the attack had her fall off the tower. Rogenrola acted fast. It used its stem and tried to hold Cecilia up by her blouse.
"Roggenrola, don't! You'll fall with me!" Silvia said, but Roggenrola wasn't letting go. It tried to save her, tried to pull her up, but he had nothing to grip with. Roggenrola lost its footing and they both began to fall. Silvia grabbed a hold of Roggenrola and tried to protect it from the fall. Luckily, Gliscore flew by and was able to save them with it landing down and placing them on the ground. "A Gliscore?"
"Silvia!" Ivan called as they all hurried over. Gliscore didn't stick around. Thinking it made enough of a mess, Gliscore flew in the air with Ichigo noticing it.
"That Gliscore..." Ichigo said as it seemed familiar.
"Siliva, are you okay?! We saw you fall!" Rena asked.
"Yes..." Silvia said as she looked down at Roggenrola in her arms. "You actually tried to save my life." She was amazed that Roggenrola would actually do that. She wanted a classy pokemon, but what could be classier than someone risking their life to save someone else's life. "Thank you, Roggenrola." She held Roggenrola closer and was starting to love this pokemon back with Roggenrola turning a bit red.
"I'm just glad you and Roggenrola are okay." Ivan said. All of them were relieved to see all the pokemon were safe and unharmed.
"This was certainly a tour to remember." Ichigo said.
"As fun as all of this is, we should get ready for our competition tomorrow, Orihime." Rena said.
"Yeah. One of us needs to get that medal. I'm looking forward to this." Orihime said.
...
The Next Day
"Welcome, everyone, to Jacklot City!" Baron said. Pokemon Talent Star was about to begin. People have gathered to see this event with Ivan and Silvia joining Ichigo and the rest in the crowd. "We all gathered here because showman and show-woman are competing and showing of the best of their pokemon. Whoever does the best will be walking out of here with our star medal. Let's begin with our first competitor." He moved away and showed that Rena was the first one. It was time to see this new pokemon.
"Luxray, let's do this!" Rena said as she called out this new pokemon.
"Luxray!"
"So that's Rena's new pokemon..." Orihime said as she was watching in the back.
Meeting friends and solving problems is what usually goes on in school. Now, it's time for the competition to begin. Rena has shown her new pokemon. We'll see who will be walking away the winner here. Stay tune.
To Be Continued...
Pokemon Question: Okay, future trainers. Here is the answer to the last question. The answer is...Golurk! Golurk's power is so immense that it needs an actual seal to keep it in check. Here's the next question. What pokemon is considered the fastest swimmer, capable of breaking human records?
