Hello lovely readers! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Yes it's me again! I seem to be on a writing roll this weekend and this is probably my last update till next weekend so please bear with me. I did try to make this longer and I succeeded as this chapter is over 1000 words! Yay! Also, thank you SO much for all your wonderful reviews! They truly keep me going. I also would like to thank all of those who submitted an OC. And before I forget, any new characters do not have a 100% acceptance. If they are extremely well thought out, I may accept them but since I have around 15 characters now, there is only so much I can handle. If a character is sent in after this chapter is posted, they shall have a cameo and maybe a minor roll but no more. Hope you like this chapter!

Bikki-Chan, Amy, AceTrainer777, Mirandafan21, Pika-Powered Electric Fan, Roaslinda Rodriguez, Salli-Jean, memito274, Thats the way I roll, DaisyPearl, imabeemee and DestinyAurora, do not worry! All of your OCs will be included!

As the day neared noon the fog cleared, fully exposing the magnificent castle though its beauty did not mask its dark aura. Many however, chose to ignore it.

Jay Evans was one of them. Though she sensed its wrongness, she passed it off as nerves because after all, this was the first time she would be away from her family for so long. She wouldn't lie, it was hard convincing herself to leave her close knit family but the pull of talent overcame everything in the end. So it was with quiet determination that she marched up to the tall gates and rattled them forcefully.

It only took about a minute for Cheryl to appear, her Illumise flitting ahead.

"There is such thing as a doorbell dearie," she admonished gently as she heaved the gate open. "It's on your right."

Jay blushed, her eyes spotting the doorbell that consisted of a faded gray rope and a silver bell that shined brightly, as if it was polished recently. "Sorry," she muttered, staring down at her feet as she shuffled inside. "I didn't see it..."

"Liar," a voice hissed in her head. "You didn't even look."

"Shut up," Jay hissed right back. She blushed once again at the old lady's look. She was glad that Cheryl didn't ask.

When her inner voice quieted down, she noticed that Cheryl hadn't closed the iron gates and that they were still standing at the entrance.

Cheryl, as if sensing Jay's question, spoke. "We are just waiting for another student. He should be here soon."

"Oh, ok."

The stood together awkwardly (at least it was awkward for Jay) for about a half hour before not one but in fact two people came trekking towards the building. One was obviously older and looked to be around Jay's age while the other was noticeably younger. Another thing that was noticeable was the person's white blonde hair that assumed was dyed. It was too, well, white to be real.

The two came even closer and Cheryl waved excitedly. "Lexi!"

Lexi waved back and yelled something that sounded suspiciously like you don't look a day over seventy and Cheryl just chuckled and winked. Odd.

"You know her?"

"Yes. She has been her for three years.

"Three!" Jay echoed, surprise clearly evident in both her tone and posture.

"Yah. You heard Cheryl." By this time the pair had reached the gates and had slipped in. Currently, the older one known as Lexi was talking.

"Err...cool!" Jay stuttered, shoving her hands in her pockets.

Cheryl closed the gates with a clang and began walking, fussing over Lexi which left Jay with the almost albino dude. Up close, his appearance was even stranger. His white blonde hair was spiked up crazily and he had golden eyes. Jay was tempted to ask him if he had contacts to hide his albinoism.

"You know you want too," her inner voice sniggered. "And that's not a word." Jay just scowled.

Up ahead, Lexi was explaining what had caused the delay. "So Logan, uh, Logan..."

"Crush," the boy quipped, his voice normal despite his other looks.

"Yah thanks." She swung around and grinned at him, her wavy blonde hair framing her face nicely before turning back to Cheryl.

"So I was driving along and I saw this kid sitting by the side of the road. I stopped and I asked him what the hell he was doing." Lexi paused as Cheryl opened her mouth. "I know, I know. Language."

Cheryl smiled.

"Anyways, Logan said that he was on his way here but his Pidgey had gotten tired so I offered him a ride. Nothing too dramatic."

"As long as you're all safe," Cheryl sighed, ushering them inside the academy building.

The interior was even better than the exterior. The four were currently in a large foyer that was the depiction of luxury. The marble pillars spiralled upwards as they supported the some ceiling that from it hung a large glass chandelier. The floor was made of a black onyx but the walls were a beautiful cream colour lined with gold. Jay and Logan gawked, their jaws hitting the floor.

Lexi smirked and prodded them forward. "Upstairs is even better but I gotta go so see you guys later."

"H-h-how?" Logan stuttered as he followed Cheryl unsteadily down a hallway that resembled the foyer and into a large room, the tiles being replaced by a thick, Persian rug. Jay was in a similar state.

"Our founder was extremely rich." A thin and tall man in a dark gray suit strode out of an adjoining room. "He made all of this possible."

"This is Logan Crush and Jay Evans sir," Cheryl curtsied low, refusing to meet his eyes.

The man smiled crookedly. "Ahhh. New students. Well, Mr. Crush, Miss Evans. I am Sir Howard Kipp, the headmaster of this school that has a history of perfect behaviour. I expect that you two will not tarnish that reputation."

Jay and Logan nodded earnestly.

"Absolutely wonderful."

Jay shivered. This guy was the first person that she had met that could make wonderful sound like an insult rather than praise. Was he mocking them?

Master Kipp clapped his hands together, interrupting her concentration and gestured for them to follow him past the three secretary desks and into what appeared to be his office. He closed the door behind them with a snap and took a seat at his desk.

Hesitantly, Logan sat down in an open chair and Jay followed suit.

"Getting down to business," Master Kipp said as he pulled out from under his desk, a tray covered in poke balls. "As you two are now official students of the esteemed KIP Academy for the talented, you are required to pick one ghost Pokémon that will be out with you at all times. During class, any of your other Pokémon are not allowed out unless requested otherwise but you are allowed to have them on you. Are you following me so far?"

The two students nodded again. They seemed to be doing a lot of that.

"You're giving us free Pokémon!" Logan cried out incredulously, his eyes bugging out. It seemed that the information was a bit too much for the thirteen year-old as he collapsed back into the plush, leather chair.

"Yes Mr. Crush," the headmaster sighed before he rattled off a list of Pokémon names. When he finished, he looked expectantly up at Jay and Logan. His gaze flickered between the two before settling on her.

"Miss Evans. Do you know what Pokémon you would like?"

"Pick Misdreavus," the voice cooed softly and Jay, without thinking, blurted out Misdreavus.

"Don't control me," she spat back inwardly.

"I am you Jay aren't I?" the voice said innocently. "How can I control myself?"

"Humph. It's called self-control you nitwit."

"Are you calling yourself a nitwit?" It sniggered gleefully, knowing it had won this as Jay didn't respond.

"Wise decision," Master Kipp drawled slowly, picking a poke ball off the tray. He tossed it at her and she caught it instinctively.

"Thank you?"

"You're welcome," he replied and was about to ask albino boy what Pokémon he wanted but albino boy was ready.

"Hmmm, Albino Boy is quite the nickname..." Jay thought.

"I would like a Drifloon please sir! I've always wanted one and they're so cute and-"

The headmaster just threw the poke ball at Logan who was quivering in excitement, a smile breaking out on his face as he stroked the ball.

"Escort them to their rooms Cheryl."

"Yes sir."

SO? How was it? I'm surprised that I managed such a long chapter with no scene changes! Guess there's a first to everything! Arg! I almost forgot! I will not include the new Unova Pokémon so if your OC has them I shall exchange them with non Unova Pokémon though they can still live there. In fact, this academy might just be in Unova...

Now, please put your hands up for these special people who made this chapter possible!
