Hi everyone! I want to give a great big shout out to all of the AMAZING people who trusted me with their OCs. Because of their enthusiastic response, I already have 8 OCs! Isn't that awesome! I think it is! Anyways, since I have so many, I can only accept a few more THROUGH PM but I'll try to use them all! Remember to feed my insatiable hunger for new music! :D
Love you all!

"This is a fine batch this year." A heavyset man murmured, his chair creaking ominously as he bent over the worn scrap of paper that was this year's class lists. "We may as well start this year. No time like the present."
His low chuckle filled the small, dimly lit yet nicely furnished room before fading away as he pulled the intercom microphone close to his mouth. He spoke quickly and quietly, three short words that to anyone else but the one at the other end of the intercom would understand.
"Yes sir." The man's shadow wavered as a different voice came slithering out of the microphone. "So it begins."

A teen drove in utter silence, not even the radio on to keep her company. Inside her head was a whole different story though. Thoughts clashed, ideas screamed for attention and Lexi Redstone was tempted to turn away from her destination and just go back home. She didn't want to go to that damned school.
"Talent scouted my ass," she thought viciously. "I have no talents."
Unfortunately for Lexi, her rather large family thought different which was why she was here, on the road to KIP, the Academy for the Talented for the fourth time in her life.
(Change of Scene)
A dense fog shrouded the entire country side, reducing once clear items to hazy and grey versions of themselves. The lack of visibility didn't seem to bother a girl and her Togekiss though. It's powerful, white wings cut through the haze like it wasn't even there, leaving a swirling confused mass behind.
"Do you know if we are there yet?" Willow Matthews said, her words stolen by the wind just like her favourite hat had been, allowing her unruly, golden-brown hair to whip around, resembling Medusa's characteristic hairdo.
Her Togekiss just chirped in response, and they flew together for about another ten minutes, both revelling in the free feeling that flying gave them before the Pokémon banked sharply to the right and slowly descended. The ground soon became clearer and excitedly, Willow pointed over to the left.
"There Togekiss!" Willow shrieked. "Big, black building to the left. The one with spires!"
Soon the two landed safely at the gate entrance and reluctantly, she pulled out a poke ball and recalled Togekiss. Up in the air, the academy hadn't seemed so imposing but now, the building towered over her, its multiple spires, windows, towers and overall largeness completely awing the girl. Willow was so entranced, she didn't even notice the bobbing light approaching her from behind the closed gate until the holder spoke.
"Excuse me." The rasping voice of the old lady was quiet like her walk but she held herself proudly, a small Illumise hovering over her right shoulder. "Are you a student?"
"Oh!" Willow sheepishly smiled. "Sorry I didn't notice you! I'm Willow Matthews."
The lady waited expectantly.
"Yah, I'm a student too! Who are you?"
She smiled benevolently at Willow and pulled an old brass key out of the pocket of her long, thick cloak. She inserted it into a lock and with a quick flip of her wrist, unlocked the black, iron gate and easily pulled it open despite its creaky protests. Willow stepped inside and waited patiently as the old lady locked it up again.
"I'm the gate keeper but you can call me Cheryl."
Together the two walked up to the Academy though if you closed your eyes and listened, you would only hear one pair of footsteps and when you opened them, only one shadow.

Zeke lay on his bed, his Swellow resting beside him. No matter how much he twisted and turned, he could not get to sleep. Maybe the bed was too comfy or the room too unfamiliar but if he wasn't going to get to sleep, he wasn't going to waste his time. He slid out of bed and grabbed a plain, black and blue long sleeve and put it on while he dug out his comfy runners out from under his new bed. Zeke laced them up loosely, grabbed his backpack and was about to exit the room before a light flutter was heard and the comfortable weight of his Swellow settled on his shoulder. Now he was ready.
Zeke trotted down the spiralling staircase and towards the Gym. Before he had arrived, he had gotten a letter that briefed him on all of the classes and what this school was all about. It was slightly strange but intriguing. Zeke had never before heard of a school that not only trained the Pokémon but trained the students as well till they matched each other in power and abilities. It was an interesting notion though, he had to admit.
Ok. So that's the end of chapter one. How was it? Did you like it? Too long? Too short? I need to know so please review, review, review!
