Chapter1

My name is Scott Berkin and I was about to start my first day at the Hoen Pokemon Academy.

Pokemon Academy was located on a large island located about twenty miles south of Lilycove City. The only building on the island was the gigantic academy. Surrounding the academy was a large forest that contained all over types of Pokemon. There was also a small mountain that students use to train on It was so big because not only did all the fifteen year olds in Hoen go there but so did many teens from all around the world. The Hoen Academy was the best school in all the lands, and every one knew it.

The boat that held over five hundred children came to halt as it had finally reached the humungous dock. And this wasn't the only boat that would be arriving, over another seven hundred students would soon be coming in.

I was one of the first people off of the boat as soon as they began allowing people off. I honestly wasn't all that into training, I wanted to be a cop. (Oh yeah and another thing you people got wrong was the whole officer jenny, Nurse Joy thing. That's just ridiculous) but unfortunately to become a cop I had to still go to the academy to train. UGH! This was just going to be a big waste of time.

As I got onto the dock all of the children were herded off like cattle as we were being led into the school. After about twenty minutes of walking we finally entered the large lobby of the school. The air conditioning hit me as a giant relief; it was so painfully hot outside. After that we were all led into a giant room that was clearly a dining hall slash gathering room. All the kids were told to just sit and be quiet until the rest of the students arrived. Quiet that's a laugh. There was over five hundred students, there would be no quiet. Everyone was reconnecting with old friends or making new ones. I however wasn't really interested in being friends; I just wanted to be done with this.

Finally, after about another thirty minutes of waiting the gigantic room was completely filled. All the tables in the room were fully stuffed, and the room was like a zoo, a bunch of different animal noises, everywhere.

There was a deafening roar at the head of the room coming from a long table at the front of the room. That table was filled with the adults that were clearly the teachers. The noise was coming from a giant Exploud, roaring loud enough to deafen all of the teachers nearby. Incidentally all the teachers had ear plugs in. Then after only about ten seconds of the roar the entire room had fallen silent.

There was a stream of blue light and the Exploud was gone. Standing in his place was an elderly man with a long white beard that reached the floor. He was completely bald, but had big bushy white eye brows. His face seemed very old and wrinkled. When he spoke his voice sounded very weary and gravely, "Welcome to the Hoen Pokemon Academy! I am Professor Kilop and I will be your headmaster for the next twelve months. While you are here I hope you will enjoy your time and become bright, inelegant, and wise adults. Now for some main rules," His voice changed from its calm demeanor to a much more strict tone. "The most important rule, no one is allowed into the forest, mountains or any other training area without teacher permission. If you found on the grounds without permission you will be instantly expelled from this school. Now to some other more minor rule."

And about two hours later he had finished his speech, and very few people were still awake, but Professor Kilop either did not notice or chose not to. Then everyone, including myself, instantly awoke. We soon discovered what awoke us; it was the aroma of delicious food. Professor Kilop had returned to his seat at the table, and many steaming dishes of food were being brought out. The food was carried on gigantic trays held by about a hundred Machamps. Soon the tables were full of food, and even before the food the food reached the table people had begun to eat. No one had eaten since breakfast and it was now well best nine. And only about thirty minutes after the meal began every one stuffed and stretched out in their seats.

"Well I hope you all enjoyed your meals." Kilop said as he stood. All eyes fell on him. "You will be now assigned to your dorms for the next year. If I understand you have all been given numbers as you stepped on the ship, please open them, and follow you respected teacher to your dorms."

Then all twelve hundred students opened up their room assignment envelopes. Mine said professor Xlander, Primape house. Then all of the other teachers began to stand and make their way over to the front of the room. All of the teachers were wearing name tags and were yelling their names. Professor Xlander was easy to point out. He was extremely tall, about six foot eight. He was very thin and bony he had extremely long arms and bony fingers. He also had and extremely loud high pitched voice.

I shoved my way through the crowd and sidled up next to Xlander. "Behind me." He commanded to the other students around. All the students surrounding professor Xlander and all the students surrounding other teachers stood behind them. Eventually there were twenty four completely even lines behind every teacher.

"This way!" All the teachers bellowed as one as they all exited I was near the front of the line and was able to follow Professor Xlander with ease, but some students who were farther behind had a difficult time following their teachers through all the people.

Eventually after about ten minutes of walking and eight flights of stairs Xlander and his, approximately, fifty students stood alone in front of a large wooden door. "OK, everyone in!" He commanded as he opened the door and stepped inside.

The room they entered was like a giant living room full of couches and comfortable chairs. The room also had about five huge TVs standing in front of some of the many couches and chairs.

Once all the kids had entered the room voices began to break out and people began to examine the room. At opposite sides of the room were two large stair cases, I couldn't see what was at the top of them, but I assumed rooms.

"All right, everyone take a seat." The Professor commanded. At that everyone found seats. I found a private recliner off to the side that was extremely comfortable.

"OK." Xlander said as walked to the middle of the room as all eyes followed him. "Ok, well, my name is Professor Xlander, but you may of course, call me Professor X. Do not attempt to make fun of my name for it rhymes with nothing funny." He said disappointed. "But," He said brightening up. "If you can think of a good one I would be glad to hear it."

At this statement many of the children looked to one another. What was wrong with this guy?

"All right now to more serious business. Now Professor Kilop did talk about this, but as you were all assigned to my house I'm sure you were all asleep." He said with a laugh, and sure enough he was right. "All right then, well here at the academy I teach weaknesses and resistances. None of you will however have that class for a while. Now then for those of you that were asleep there are twenty four different houses at this school, each containing exactly fifty students, we always allow in exactly twelve hundred students a year. Now each house has a head teacher and a spokes Pokemon. Well I am head of Primape house, and this is your spokes Pokemon, Ross." He announced as he threw out his pokeball that contained the largest Primape he had ever seen. "Well every house has a main rival and ours is Slaking house, don't ask me why, it just is. Also it is no random reason that you were all placed here."

Everyone perked up.

"If you recall at the end of last year you all took a personality test and that is how you were placed. You were all placed here because you are all individuals; one of you even left your test completely blank." He said with a small chuckle as he set his sites on me, it was in fact me who had done that. I had never liked tests and that one just seemed like a waste of time.

"Well enough of this." Professor X said "All right girls to the left and boys to the right, at the top of the stairs there are several doors, go through the one with your name on it, good night." He said quickly as he ascended the right stair case.

God, this would be a long year.
