Hey everyone, GD here! So, this is the next chapter of Fire and Ice, sorry for the wait! It is shorter than the last one, which I'm greatly sorry about. Anyways, more exciting things will be coming soon! Also, I know Lizzie may seem a little flat as of now, but no worries! Her character will become more interesting and unique as the story goes on! Anyways, this chapter was necessary because it introduced some very important characters and the school. But, things should be picking up very soon! Also, thanks to the people who reviewed! So yeah. Until next time, take care! Bai! ~GD
Chapter 2: Central Kalos Pokémon Academy
The bus screeched to a stop, slightly jolting its passengers forward. Lizzie, who was sitting in the back next to the window, glanced outside. A tall 5-story building stood proudly, its brick walls clean and windows shining. Over the huge entrance, large golden letters spelled out Central Kalos Pokémon Academy. The front lawn area was colorful and inviting, with its green grass and a large assortment of vibrant flowers. A couple of small trees and benches were neatly placed around. In the center of the yard was a giant rock. About 10 feet tall and 4 feet wide, its was by far the most interesting part of the front area. It was painted, depicting all sorts of Pokémon and places. In the center of it all was Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon. Surrounding it were all of the other legendary pokémon, like Celebi, Lugia, Reshiram, Mesprit, Mew, Articuno, Suicune and Diancie. Other Pokémon and multiple towns, cities and landmarks were included.
Most students were just getting off the buses, going to stand in multiple groups around the courtyard. Lizzie brought her focus back to herself and quickly grabbed her bag, following the rest of the students off the bus. As she stepped off she quickly searched around for her friends. She quickly found them, saying bye to Lily, for she was going off to find her own friends.
"Hi Lizzie!" a voice greeted cheerfully. The voice belonged to a slim red-haired girl the same age as Lizzie. She had hazel eyes and a light dusting of freckles across both cheeks. She was wearing ripped red jeans and plain white t-shirt. Around her waist was a black plaid jacket and she had white high tops on. Her hair was done up in a high ponytail, the curly hair ending at right below her shoulders
"Hi Allie," Lizzie replied back, giving the girl a small smile. She looked at the rest of her friends. There were another girl and a boy. The girl was a slim blonde, with the ends of her mid-shoulder blade hair a dyed dark purple. She was wearing white jean shorts and a dark purple and gray striped long sleeve shirt. She had a black beanie on top of her head and had on gray knee-high boots.
"Hey," the blonde said casually, giving Lizzie a small nod.
"Don't sound too thrilled there, Casey," teased Lizzie with a smirk. Casey grumbled something about shutting up and rolled her eyes. But she had small smile playing on the corners of her lips.
"Hey! Don't I get any love girly?" a voice good-naturedly mocked. Lizzie couldn't repress a groan and faced the boy who had a small smirk on his tan face. The boy was wearing tan khaki shorts and a light blue jacket. The jacket was partly unzipped, revealing a white t-shirt with reddish mega evolution symbol. He had light brown hair and green eyes.
"Laurence," Lizzie said with a small frown. The boy, Laurence, held up his hands and slightly shook his head.
"I'm just kidding," he said, giving a small smile. Lizzie sighed and returned the smile. She then turned and looked around, a confused look on her face.
"Hey… Where's Jason?" The rest of the group looked around, realizing that Lizzie was right. Jason didn't seem to be here. Lizzie checked the time on her Holo Caster. 7:45 AM.
"He should have been here by now…" Allie said, looking down. 5 minutes passed and the school doors opened. Still no sign of Jason. The group sighed and started to head inside.
"Wait!" a voice cried out. Lizzie turned and saw none other than Jason. His black hair was messy, though he still looked good. He was wearing a black t-shirt with an orange shape of a Lugia on it and blue jeans. He had his black headphones around his neck and his black sneakers were on his feet. Why am I not surprised, Lizzie thought. Of course he is wearing that shirt. He is originally from Johto after all.
Once Jason caught up, they all went inside of the school. It was time to begin their tests.
