A.N: I am back! For now. This chapter got done about ten minutes ago so it might suck. I apologize for everything, but school was hard and I lost the data for this chapter which led to me forgetting all about this story, until I received the kind review from Alex. So I hope you enjoy the newest Series of Elitist Academy.
Pokémon X and Y Elitist Academy Chapter 17: I'm sorry.
Royal Academy, standing tall and proud with its brick exterior that resembled a castle more than a school. A school for trainers to reach the utmost of their talents. If the students were to be crops, the school would be the healthy soil, and the teachers the fertilizer.
But Royal Academy had been struck with a problem. Three months ago a student disappeared along with five members of the teaching staff. Coincidentally they had been the champions of their region. Although it had been a common occurrence for the champions to come and go as they pleased, they usually left behind a message, which hadn't been the case. Disappearing without a trace, as if they had never existed. Whenever the staff had been asked about the situation, no one answered. After a week the students learned to live with it and stopped asking questions, although their curiosity only grew. But if something disappears, it is bound to turn back up. That's what happened to them too, the champions returned.
Serena walked out of her room, into the living room of the shared apartment. She looked at the room next to her, Calem's room. The room had been cold, albeit not empty, it was cold and dusty. Serena couldn't bring herself to enter the room again, fearing all the suppressed feelings surfacing. Suddenly, the door of Calem's room opened, and a white fluffy Eevee walked out. Vee had been left behind by Calem when Calem had left. Serena didn't mind taking care of Vee, but the Evolution Pokémon had become very quiet. Whenever Serena saw Vee on the balcony of their dormitory Vee always looked at the horizon, waiting for his trainer to come back.
Serena turned away quickly and packed her bag. She grabbed some Poké food and poured it into Vee's bowl before leaving. Her first stop was the store to buy a bottle of water to get through the school day without dehydrating herself. The next stop on her list was the school itself, walking into the mansion like school and entering her classroom.
She chatted casually with friends, until the bell rang and her homeroom teacher Cynthia entered. The Blonde beauty wore casual attire in a blue sweater that protected her from the cold and long black pants, keeping her long legs hidden. Everyone sat down in their respective seats quickly when she said: "Alright class, I have an important announcement, we will have to go to the assembly hall for now, the principal will fill you in on details, follow me."
A wave of whispers emerged as the students left their luxurious classrooms decorated with white walls and a soft red carpet into the hallways to the assembly hall with red carpet floors and windows allowing sunlight in. More and more students flooded the hallways and trickled into the huge assembly hall, Professor Oak already standing on the elevated podium, a microphone in front of him.
The professor cleared his throat when he received the signal that the last class had entered and everyone slowly turned towards him.
"Hello students of Royal Academy. I am happy to see you students in such a plentiful number, all loving Pokémon and attending this school. Now you will probably wonder what this announcement is for, but we have received a notification yesterday to a request we had sent to the World Trainer Organization about three weeks ago. The request was granted and we are now proud to announce, the first international school tournament, the Festival of Celebi. The winners of the tournament will be greatly rewarded.
"The way to enter for each school will be by a team of 6 trainers being dispatched, the teams will be decided differently depending on each school. We Royal Academy has chosen to decide them by tournament, the top 6 joining the team. Now please watch, the participating schools."
A wall of school logos was projected behind Professor Oak and grabbed the attention of all students. Royal Academy's logo was in the center with the three birds, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. Surrounding Royal Academy were the logos of the other schools, they totaled three schools, logos unknown to them. One had the oulines of Raikou, Suicune and Entei, another Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf and finally Thundurus, Tornadus and Landorus.
Silence reigned as the students registered the emblems, but the projection soon disappeared and something new was projected. It was a bracket, four schools duking it out first, and then another team fighting against the winning school for the grand prize.
"Now you can see that this tournament set-up is atypical, but it helps keep the tournament interesting. It is also a good addition due to the members of the final team. Now I cannot disclose any information on them, but what I can say is that they are a great challenge and it is quite the honor of having them fight a round. The final battle is of course a mock battle, after all winning the final battle is going to be harder than beating all of the teams from the opposing schools combined. The representatives we, Royal Academy will send out, have not been decided yet, but all staff members have voiced their recommendations. The final list will be published in three months so I hope everyone works hard to be a part of the team.
"Now to a less pleasant topic. As most of you might know, three months ago a student and five of the teaching staff have disappeared, each of them being the champion of their respective region. A week ago we have received a message from one of them, Red."
As those words were spoken the entire room was quiet. No one dared to move a muscle and waited expectantly.
"Red's message is as follows:
Dear Professor,
First and foremost, allow me to apologize. We, the champions, have had no intention of disappearing for such a long time, nor without message, but due to the dire circumstances we did not have the luxury of telling anyone. Now allow me to apologize for another thing. I, or rather we, would like to apologize to the entire populace.
We discovered indications of a new danger approaching a week before our disappearance and went as quickly as possible to deal with it, but it took longer than expected. Even with our combined effort we didn't manage to hold them back much, so we decided to use a trump card as our last ditch effort. This message has been written before our use of this trump card. The reason for this is that our final attempt will come with a great sacrifice, so great that we have only theorized the method, fearing what consequences it might bring. I would also like to apologize to all those who knew and loved Calem. Calem has bought us time with his valiant sacrifice to set this method up, and we can but hope that his sacrifice will not be in vain.
Farewell Professor,
Red."
A.N: Now who said MCs cannot die? George R. R. Martin didn't. I don't either.
