The Start Of The Unknown
It had been a rough night returning to find that all the others finished catching there Pokemon already. The next on the schedule for the school was the ranking test to test the skill of the trainer with there new Pokemon. They were instructed to arrive at there early but Flame had ran unto a problem a small one but one that would make an issue.
Shuffling threw my pockets I finally found what I had been looking for the directions to the battling zone on the far right side of the school. But just as I had pulled them out something hit me in the back of my head turning all the way around to see Rikua holding my poke balls three on the floor two in his hands and his poke ball was the one that hit me in the back of the head.
A special blue designed ball grabbing it off the floor it had only served one use to catch this Riolu but since last night he had refused to return into it like most Pokemon would. Sighing I tried once more pointing the front of the ball at him and a red stream shot out from it but like usual Rikua found every way possible to avoid it this time he ducked under it and went threw my legs taking the directions from my hand holding it into the air. Staring at him I put the ball back onto my belt and he handed it back and crossed his arms after. Looking over the directions it was hastily made during one class called "Items for Rookies". Saying to Rikua "You ready for the battle?" Uncrossing his arms he walked over to the door and standing as high as he could he turned the door knob with both hands and opened the door. Luckily in this school each person had there own room it came in handy there was a girl's wing and a boy's wing, The boys wing was on the left the girls was on the right. Following Rikua we made our way out of the school and took the path to the battling zone this school was known for theirs being highly advanced and close to some of the ones used in the region leagues.
There was a large building in front of 12 battling fields four rows of three each separated by thick walls and a large grandstand stood in the back which allowed people to watch the matches. Rikua became nervous he probably was not used to people and he hid behind my right leg as we walked into the building. Not too many people were there but I guessed that most were already watching some of the matches going on as the screen above the counter showed many battles going on at the same time all interesting and showing many different Pokemon battling. Trainers that were about to battle waited in the building on the benches that lined the inside the building with an exit behind the counter leading to the field.
As I approached the desk I caught a glimpse of a person I knew on the screen. It was Eurydike battling with a Pokemon, a blue eyed Chikorita it stood proud as it battled. Looking back at the desk I finished walking there and the clerk greeted me with "May I have your student card?" It was a slim card that had your picture on it along with your id number and age along with hair color, eye color. It was used from getting lunch breakfast and dinner to taking attendance in class. Patting down my pockets I finally managed to find it and pulled it from my chest pocket and handed it to the clerk. She had light brown with dark brown highlighted long hair and her eyes were a light green.
In a way she seemed familiar but at the same time she did not but she was not someone I had to worry about as she slid the card on the computer in front of her. It dinged and info appeared on a TV to the right of her listing my classes and information along with my Pokemon. She smiled and said as she handed me back my card "Welcome to the grade test battle it will be an one on one match to determine what level of classes you shall have they can be either E, D, C, B, A or S, S being the highest class you can end with. Motioning her with her hand for me to look at the screen my picture appeared on one part of the screen and a blank on another the machine ran threw all the people in school's picture just below too fast to tell who was who.
Slowly it sped down and stopped on a familiar face I had met a yesterday the other student with the oddly colored growlithe and below his picture said his name and rank. Shiva Diomedes class A student number 0058267. As his and my picture and information disappeared another set of pictures appeared each showing the different type of fields that I would randomly select to battle on. There was Ice, Water, Rock, Grass, and a mystery field they all were arranged in a circle and one lit up then the light changed from each one speeding up as it went in a clockwise pattern. Eventually as it slowed down it landed on the rock field the picture expanded to the entire screen. It showed a field with rocks about and a dark brown earthy ground then the clerk said "You shall be battling on the Rock fields please go threw the door behind me and follow the arrow on the floor."
Once she finished the floor lit up curving around her desk and threw the door as Rukia followed right behind I walked up the passage way to the fields. As I reached it another person came threw and they stopped in front of me but least did I expect a kick to the chest toppling me over. A voice said "Heya Flame going to your match I see? Well guess what I just finished I got into class B by five points!" another voice was soon to follow but this was no the voice of a person it was of a Pokemon "Chika!" Looking up from where the kick had knocked me to the floor to see Eurydike and he Pokemon standing by her.
Saying back to her "That's good...I think." Scuffing she replied "It's the third highest class I bet that is better then you can do especially with Shiva as your opponent. Well either way I will be cheering you on so you still better get at least a C!" She marched off threw another exit to the stands to watch my match with her chikorita following her as she went. Dusting off my pants as I stood up I looked threw the door, She was right it was going to be hard facing Shiva he had already been to this school and many more already he knew how to raise Pokemon. But I would not let that stop me, gripping my right hand into a fist I walked threw the passageway onto the field.
